#kagami is having fun abroad

[hirookouji]

in my head the last game movie didnt happen, but i do think the premise of kagami going to america for college and meeting the jabberwocky is made way funnier with the backstory of them already meeting in high school w the vorpal swords vs jabberwocky match

Gifts

Any holiday or day where gifts were given was taken with utmost seriousness in the Wayne household.  Or in other words, it was a competition to one up each other’s gifts.  It all started when Jason came to the house and Dick had come back to visit for the holidays.  Marinette hadn’t really understood what was happening when she happily opened Dick’s present, which was a new knitting kit with so many different materials.  She ran over to him and hugged him tightly as Alfred took photos.  Dick had glanced over at Jason and smirked at him, but Jay-Jay only rolled his eyes with his arms crossed.  She still hadn’t opened his after all, and he was around her more now than Dick was, which meant he had a higher advantage of knowing her new interests and endeavors.  So he watched as she pulled out a thick book of fashion design and her own embroidery set.  Her eyes practically glowed as stared at the set.  Jason hadn’t even seen her move because next thing he knew strong arms were wrapped around him.  The 7-year-old had definitely been taught by Dick on how to hug people.

Bruce gazed lovingly at his children, but he knew about their competition, and he would not be outdone by his sons.

“Daddy, Daddy, look what Birdy and Jay-Jay gave me!  They’re so nice!  Feel the material Birdy got me, I can make so many things now!”

“That sounds amazing, Bluebell.”

Marinette smiled brightly as she showed Bruce the gifts that she got.

“Do you want to see what I got you?”

He asked amusedly.  Marinette began to hop on her toes in excitement, because daddy’s always had the best gifts!

“Yes please!”

Bruce smiled and pointed out a small, thin, rectangular box under the tree.  She leaped over to it and when she opened it her mouth dropped open and she squealed.

“You got me tickets to Sophie Theallet’s fashion show?!”

She was jumping with joy as she stared at the five tickets in her hand.  Bruce looked over at and smirked at the boys.  He won, again.  They groaned and sulked in annoyance.  Why did he always win?

________

Marinette was 9 when she finally figured out what her family was doing, and she knew that she would be the one to give the absolute best gifts to her family!  Her family deserved something super special, so she went to work.  Her Birdy was part of the circus and they had a lot of equipment he often used.  But what could she do that would be super special and make her win the competition?  Then it hit her, she knew exactly what she would do!  She would need to ask Alfred for help, but it would be worth it!

Next was Jay-Jay.  She didn’t know much about his past as he always told her that she had to wait till she was older, but she knew about him now.  Jay-Jay loved to read and would often read to her, he really liked hoodies and comfy things, and he liked to bake with Alfred and her.  So maybe…….yea!  She would do that, it shouldn’t be that hard to do.

Daddy always got her such nice gifts, how could she ever beat him?  There had to be something she could do to outdo him.  He was Batman, he worked with the Justice League, he loved all of them, and sometimes if he finished his work early would watch movies with them!  But he was always so good and knew exactly what to get.  She would try though, she had an idea and she hoped it would work.

Alfred, he deserved the best gift because of everything he did for them!  She already knew the perfect gift for her grandpa Alffie!

________

Christmas arrived and she stared out the window as the snowflakes fell onto the covered yard.  Maybe they could go sledding today, that would be so much fun!  She was so transfixed in the snow, and thinking of how pretty a dress would be with the same color and different designs, that she hadn’t noticed her brothers sneaking up on her.  A squeal left her lips as she was lifted into the air and twirled around wrapped in the warm embrace of her Birdy.  She giggled as he spun and squeaked as she was gently thrown into the air, only to land on the couch.

“Good morning Blueberry.”

Dick chirped happily.  She giggled again and leaned into Jay-Jay’s hand as he ruffled her hair.

“Morning Pixie-pop.  Sleep well?”

“Morning Birdy and Jay-Jay.  I slept great, thank you.  Did either of you?”

Jason shrugged with a small smirk,

“I slept fine, though I wouldn’t have minded sleeping a little longer.  You missed Dick’s hallway caroling this morning.”

“I sounded amazing, thank you very much.  And I was too excited to fully sleep.  I’m going to win this year.”

Dick said pridefully.

“No way, I’m totally going to beat you.”

Jason deffied puffing out his chest slightly.  Marinette giggled and called out,

“No, I’m going to beat all of you!  I will be the champion gift giver this year.”

They looked at her and smirked.

“Only in your dreams Pix.”

“You’ll see,”

She replied, crossing her arms and lifting her nose in the air like she had seen some of the people at the galas do.

“Then you’ll have to agree with me!”

They all gave each other sceptical looks before laughing and continued to talk until daddy came down.  When he finally did, the competition commenced.  The first person to open presents was her, obviously, as she was the youngest.  Dick had given her a really nice and fancy art kit, and she loved it!  Jay-Jay had given her tickets and backstage passes to the theater for The Nutcracker, she had been wanting to see it for a while now.  Alfred had told her that he would teach her how to make a super secret recipe, and she would be able to help him with dinner today too!  Daddy, he was too clever, too cunning.  He had given her a pet hamster, and it was beautiful!  She couldn’t beat him now, her gift was nothing compared to-to this!  She tries though, and maybe she could win second?  Yea, she would be ok with second, if she got this adorable baby creature.  She couldn’t even be mad or disappointed, because look at its cute little feet and adorable eyes!

Next was Jay-Jay.  The others had given him some really nice things, but she felt that hers was the best!  So when he opened it and his eyes shined, she knew she made the right thing!  It had taken her hours to find it, and she had to ask Dad if she could get it since she wasn’t allowed to use the card without permission.  It was one of the first books of Pride and Prejudice ever published, she even got him a fancy ink and quill set so he could better embrace his Harry Potter nerdom.

“This is amazing, thank you Pixie, I guess I do owe you an apology, this is amazing.”

She smiled up at him while gently petting the top of her new hamster's head as it laid on her lap.

“Told you!”

For Dick she had knitted him a collection of stuffed animals that he talked about from the circus.  Alfred had helped her find the material and helped her when she made a mistake or needed help on a particularly tricky part.  She thought she saw Dick’s eyes water for a second.  The next thing she knew she was being tightly hugged, but he left enough room to not squish her furry child.

“Thank you Blueberry, it’s amazing.”

“Of course it is, I made them!”

He chuckled as he pulled away and ruffled her already messed up hair.

She had made Daddy a picture book and had decorated it with black and yellow glitter, bats, and different birds.  Throughout the book were all of the pictures that she was able to get her hands on dated and labeled in order from oldest photo to most recent.  He had a soft smile as he looked through the book and when he finally looked back up to his slightly nervous daughter he pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead.

“I think you won this year.”

“Nuh ah!  You gave me a hamster!  There’s no way I could have won!”

“Well, I think all the others would agree that you thought of and made some very amazing gifts.”

She turned to look at the others as they gave gentle nods and thumbs up.  Her cheeks felt really warm and she smiled at them all.

“Thank you.  Now Grandpa Alffie needs to open his presents!”

Alfred smiled at the small child and opened the gifts he had received from the others.  Marinette had made and embroidered a new handkerchief for him.  He seemed to like it as he immediately placed it in his pocket.  She was the victor of this year's Christmas gift exchange, but she still felt that Daddy beat her.

________

As years passed and her family grew so did the competition.  Sadly, it would be harder to her her family their most desired gifts as she had decided to study abroad in Paris that year, but she would be da*ed if she didn’t try her hardest.  She had gotten better with her skills for making things over the years, and so much had happened.  Jason had died and come back, that was the hardest time of her life.  They had new people adopted into the family, and she even had a little brother!  She was going to meet him this year when she went to visit for the winter break.  She would have the glasses with her at all times in case there was an attack so she could quickly come back here and take care of it.

When she arrived at the Gotham Airport and saw her large family standing and holding a sign as they looked for her she ran up to them as quickly as she could.

“Pixie!”

Jason called out, catching the small girl and twirling her around.  She laughed and when she was put down created the rest of her family just as happily.  When she finally came face to face with her little brother she held out her hand.  Her family said he was more formal and was very against physical touch that he did not agree to or initiate.  He eyed her hand suspiciously before shaking it and giving her a nod.

“Damian Al Ghul-Wayne.”

“Marinette Wayne.  It’s nice to finally meet you Damian.”

They both let go after a firm shake.  She already had a gift for him, and Kagami helped her find the perfect one.  It was a nice blade, the blade was completely black, but had a red tint to it and red gains that delicately ran through it.  The hilt was of fine golden metal and a strong leather grip.  She had made the sheath for the blade.  With strong leather and an inner layer of Kevlar so the sword would be protected.  She had carved in Arabic symbols to spell out “Son of Bat” and had sewn a few almost unnoticeable small robins along the bottom and top of the inky black material.

For Tim, she had gotten him the best coffee beans in all of Paris and she had made him new lounge clothes that identified with his hero persona of Red Robin that had many hidden pockets and two large to-go coffee cups, one on each sleeve.

For Jason she had made him a new leather Jacket with book quotes embroidered all over the inside of the inner material.  There were lots of different pockets, and a few tailor made to fit his guns.  She had put a few Jagged Stone concert tickets in one of the pockets too.

For Stephanie, she had made purple silk pajamas that had waffles all over it.  She had even made sure that there was a hood connected to the pj shirt.

For Cass, just like Jason had done for her, gotten tickets for The Nutcracker.  She had also gotten her ballerina shoes, the best one and most highly recommended ones from the Paris Ballet.

For Dick she had made him an elephant onesie.  Why you may ask, well because for her birthday he had given her a mouse one.  So was it spite for being called short, or was it her trying to match, nobody needs to know.

She had made Alfred a new apron with the words “Don’t try anything, I already know.”  Neatly sewed in cursive into it.

She had gotten Babs a new eskrima stick infused with a bit of her luck in it so no one would underestimate her in battle as she would always have luck on her side giving her the upper hand.  She may be disabled, but that doesn’t stop her from kicking butt.

Finally, her gift for her dad.  This one was hard, because she wasn’t around to know what had caught his eye this year, and her siblings refused to tell her.  It was fine though, because she would figure it out.  And she did, or at least she had tried.  She ended up making him a bee suit jacket with everybody’s names sewed into the inner lining, multiple pockets for convenience, and black bats that would only be shown in the right lighting.  She would win this year, she would!  Sadly, Dick had won last year, but she would regain her crown again this year!  She would be the best gift giver of her whole family!!!

[redxblueihateloveyou]

Hi, I want to ask you a few questions. It's about KNB. I know this was a few years ago but i still miss them. Before Akashi appeared, did you ship other pairings? I mean, some pairings other than Akakuro. Probably, Kagakuro, Aokuro, etc. And then between Akashi and Kuroko, who do you love the most? And why? Thanks ヾ(＾-＾)ノ

Oh, hey love! Yeah, I miss them too always you know that haha I keep thinking about the "this is not the end of KNB" and hopelessly wish for Teiko times extra lmao but I know it'll never happen lol

The only other ship I have in KNB is midotaka (also fell for them only in s3), never shipped Kuroko with anyone before Akashi appeared (actually at first thought that I won't have any ships at all in this anime), I do not see where was there anything besides friendships. Esp Aomine or Kagami, who just do not give me any gay or bi vibes at all after all the materials, and with Kuroko its all so bro-bro to them, that I can't imagine that.

And tbh I need too much stuff for me to start shipping someone, so in most stuff I do not get where it's coming from or just don't care. It takes a lot for me to care haha. Multishipping I also do not get, bc to me shipping is about wanting someone to end up together and when you don't care with whom, it means you... don't ship anything really haha. So what's with Kuroko gangbanging everyone who's not even sways there or interested I would never get. Also someone pls name smth that could be interpreted as romantic in any of those ships? Cause I fail to see it.

Lol how did you not get after my vids, who I love most???? I thought I was obvious ;) I adore them both, I think they're incredible characters really, but you know me, Akashi is my everything, I mean, I even have a cat named Akashi who is also a sweetheart xD As to why, oi, the list can go on forever. I just think he has an incredible character strength, but also despite all the bad things that happened, he's the kindest soul who buys his teammates mom lipstick, saves babies and in general surprisingly the most compationate sweet and reliable soul in GOM, been said by many. He's just everything I like tbh. I mean, at first I just fell for his incredible brain (I love them smart) and badassness ofc, but I wasn't too into him, even though I from the beginning cracked the exterior as usual, but when I got to know all of them, it was just impossible not to love him. He's also one of those who can seemingly do everything and help everyone and in ppl's opinion has to do stuff bc everyone expects it from him and is like "well of course he can, he's Akashi" and bc he never shows how hard it is or whines, everyone thinks its easy even tho it never is like for example his born physical stats are like Kuroko's level haha. It's how he helps silently and doesn't ask for anything in return and how mature he is. I mean the GOM trip abroad still T_T

I also love those who are confident and knows how to have fun. Like while others fight over who puts on a dress in a pair as if it's somehow would hurt their masculinity or smth, he's rocking red-riding hood costume, proudly letting Kuroko be his wolf haha. He's putting idiots in place by playing a simple rock paper scissors game, being a fox and winking his bf at the same time. He's.. perfect. And he's also like a man, not a boy, which is also very rare. I mean his state of mind, not the fact that he's been through a lot, it's seen in some silly things; it's hard to explain, but I think some would get what I mean :)

Would've never guessed actually just how loving he is, but I knew there had to be a reason as to why GOM respected and loved him so much and why his team's biggest scare was about him hurting yourself. I at first tbh thought it was more like a power thing, not the fact that they truly adore him. But then turned out that he's like the sweetheart that all of his neibourhood adores and then with all the sweet things he casually does, I was like "omfg you cannot be serious". So he's for sure my fav in KNB yes. What's not to love? xD

Kuroko I love too for other reasons. That's cause he's a sneaky little ass who pretends to be angelic (also my fav type) xD

No One Asked For It, But I'm Providing It Anyways pt. 2

Fairy AU Fun Facts/Trivia

Marinette

• Honestly, she thinks Chloe is full of shit at first when it comes to Adrienne.

° Literally everyone in the class thought Adrienne was some stock photo model Chloe photoshoped (photoshopped?) as a way to make them think she had an actual best friend outside of school.

• Let's just say, when Adrienne first enters the school for a visit, her jaw drops. She wasn't expecting her to be REAL

° "She's...she's real."

"Uh huh, guess Chloe was telling the truth for once."

"Alya. She's real. And she's pretty."

"Oh no...Marinette? Marinette!!"

• Marinette does get a very minor crush on Adrienne but that goes away quickly the minute she first meets Kagami.

° "She's so beautiful."

"I know M'Lady."

"Chat...please. I'm a disaster."

"I know M'Lady. I know."

• As Ladybug, she's really protective of Chat Noire. The blond cat is one of her best friends and is the only one she can talk to about her growing crush on Kagami without really panicking or making some weird plan to ask her out. So, the day they finally reveal their identities to each other, it goes off really well.

• When she's finally in the know about Adrienne's secret, she takes it upon herself to design her new clothes, taking in mind her wings. It's thanks to Marinette that Adrienne is able to go out more in her human size.

Felicity

• A fairy born to two fairy parents.

• She and Adrienne look really similar. If it weren't for the fact that half-fairies had smaller wings and more human like ears, the cousins could have passed as identical twins. But fraternal twins works just as well.

• She's more fond of succulents and cacti than flowers and trees.

• While she can fly, whenever she's in Paris, she will join Adrienne on whatever animal she's riding.

° Unless they're racing. Then she'll either fly herself or ride a bird, which Adrienne really can't/shouldn't do.

• She always expected that, should she ever get in a relationship, it would be with a fairy. A male fairy. And only one.

° So, she wasn't expecting to get close to two humans.

Luka

• He goes to an arts school.

° He was originally going to go into Françoise Dupont like Juleka, but he got invited to a music program in a new art school. After talking with his mother and sister, he accepted the invite.

• Aside from being in Kitty Section, he runs his own business making and selling stringed instruments.

° This is based off of Wishmaker, where we see Luka at a booth with guitars he's made.

• He has the calmest reaction at learning fairies are real.

° According to Juleka, it's because he already knew and just wouldn't admit it. Luka has yet to confirm or deny this claim.

• He spends a lot of time showing Bridgette around when they meet. And when Bridgette brings Felicity along for the first time, walking around aimlessly becomes something special for the three of them.

Bridgette

• Exchange student from London.

° "I'm Bridgette. Bridgette Cheng."

"Nice to meet you, Bridgette!! Say, are you related to Marinette?"

"Who?"

• Much like in A Circus of Misfortune, Bridgette has no familial relationship to the Dupain-Chengs.

° That being said, she's staying with the Dupain-Chengs while she's abroad.

• She really enjoys fantasy, so meeting Adrienne, and later on, Marc and Felicity, it's like a dream come true.

• Speaking of Felicity, Bridgette enjoys spending time with her. It's gotten to the point she will just, sit with the fairy anytime she's visiting.

• And then she met Luka, who became the first person she befriended on her own. While she was friends with some of the students at Françoise Dupont, she isn't really close to them and often feels like the odd man out.

° This leads to her wanting to spend time with both him and Felicity. And eventually them getting together. None of them really click with any friend group from Françoise Dupont, despite being acknowledged as friends with certain people.

Synopsis:

Newton and the Apple Tree centers around protagonist, Syuji Asanaga, and his childhood pal Yotsuko Utakane.

They are on a mission to find Syuji's grandfather who has mysteriously vanished. The two somehow end up hurtling through the fabric of time and ultimately crash land into a tree.

Cast:

Syuji Asanaga

Role: Stuck in the Middle (Including heroines from the waist down)

A teenager that hates science. Our protagonist. Also a virgin.

His grandfather was the second Japanese physicist to be awarded a Nobel Prize. Syuji and his childhood friend, Yotsuko, have been mentored by him ever since they were young.

A science-loving boy, but the constant comparisons to his grandfather made him grow sick of it. One day, his grandfather went on a trip to England, only to end up going missing. Syuji was in so much shock that he started writing music to escape reality.

And so he lived as a miserable virgin, until he was reunited with Yotsuko and they somehow ended up being flung through time. Syuji now finds himself surrounded by four strange girls (and Yotsuko), and to make matters worse, he's the only one with a lick of common sense!

Make your way into the heart of a heroine, change the future, and find your grandfather!

Alice Bedford Voiced by: Hana Akino

(Known roles: Da Vinci from Eiyuu*Senki - The World Conquest, Kotori Takigawa from Nanairo Reincarnation, Yuzuyu Hiiragi from Fureraba ~Friend to Lover~, etc.)

Role: Conceited Airhead

An extremely bright girl who enrolled at Tenbridge University after skipping grades.

Because it was prohibited by law for women to write theses, she used the pen name “Isaac Newton.” That's why she went down in history as a man.

With her exceptional abilities, on top of her excessive pride and greed, she is almost untouchable on the campus.

She has a bad habit of adding notes to the books inside the library without permission. Barely a book has escaped her scientific scribbles!

Yotsuko Utakane Voiced by: Midori Shirayuki

(Known roles: Nana Ogasawara and Yuki Kanno from Corpse Party, Rimu Tamamo from Deardrops, Sayaka Ichimonji from Cho Dengeki Stryker, etc.)

Role: Sharp-tongued Airhead

Yotsuko is a girl who loves to measure everything around her, and she won't be satisfied unless she's measured down to the tiniest detail!

She's Syuji's childhood friend. His grandfather taught her how fun science could be, and she's been devoted to the field ever since.

She has a daily routine of measuring her own body in millimeters and adding it to her records every morning.

Ask her about her figure and she'll give her most up-to-date measurements without a second thought!

She's very good with numbers, but between you and me, she's kinda clumsy.

Haru Tsukumo Voiced by: Yui Ogura

(Known roles: Jerusha Abbott from Sona-Nyl of the Violet Shadows, Kagami Wakatsuki from Wonderful Everyday ~Diskontinuierliches Dasein~, Maple from the NEKOPARA series, etc.)

Haru is an exchange student from Japan, studying astronomy in 17th century England.

Her grandfather was the one to originally move abroad, but Japan closed its borders and isolated itself from the world soon after.

Because of this, Haru was born in England, unable to see the Japan she yearns for.

She is the only person who truly understands Alice, and they support each other while spending their days together in Tenbridge.

Role: Deranged Airhead

A problematic girl who's constantly causing fires all around Tenbridge University.

Unlike Alice's theoretical and factual approach to science, she's a genius scientist who lets intuition guide her hand.

She lives in an age where modern science, magic, and alchemy coexist. If her intuition is telling her “yes,” then you bet she's gonna do it!

She was the first to figure out that Syuji wasn't from her time, igniting her curiosity.

What she wants the most right now is a male test subject that listens to everything she says.

Emmy Felton Voiced by: Iroha Haruno

(Known roles: Daphnis from Tiers to Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord, Nana Abe from the Idolmaster series, Shichirya from the Utawarerumono series, etc.)

Role: Potato Airhead

Emmy works as a maid at Tenbridge University to support her younger brothers. Her work takes her all over campus, so if you ever want to know anything about the place, she's the girl to ask!

She resides in the same dorm as Alice and Haru, handling all of the household chores such as laundry, cleaning duty, and cooking meals, while also looking after all of the residents.

She takes her job very seriously, never removing her headband while she's at work. This means your only chance to see her with her hair down is when she's off the clock!

Though you'd need to be a lucky guy to see that. She works every day, leaving her with only enough time to spend with those truly close to her. That's exactly why her headband is so valuable to her.

Kagatobi Modern Ageswap Ch 2

part two of this

It took three days for Tobirama to finally pick a concrete time, and now a full week from their reunion he and Kagami are meeting up. He’s been for coffee in the meantime of course, but only short trips, and he wanted to have plenty of time set aside for this. No leaving early this time, no matter how he embarrasses himself. He arrives at his favorite coffee shop ahead of their planned meeting time, although not quite as early as he originally intended. Touka would have made fun of him for taking so long to get ready for a date, and this technically isn’t even a date. Honestly, he’s mocked Hashirama for less when he started seeing Mito as well, but neither of them are here to call him out. He doesn’t want to look like the bedraggled law student he is when trying to make a proper impression on Kagami as a proper adult and not just an undergrad kid.

He hesitates for a moment when picking a seat, wondering if Kagami would prefer to sit by the counter like he was at the other shop, or if a secluded corner like he prefers would be alright. Obviously though, he’s being ridiculous, there’s no certainty that’s where Kagami always sits, so he might as well sit where he normally does for now. Tobirama brought along his laptop and other things like he normally does, even if he’s not sure how much he’ll be using them once Kagami arrives. For now, though, he sets up his things at his usual spot and gets to work. Tobirama’s only just gotten into a rhythm when he arrives, slightly early as well.

“Tobirama!” Kagami calls out, “I hope you haven’t been waiting long. I know you always liked to show up early.”

“No, I only just set up,” he replies, closing his laptop and pushing it out of the way. He stands up and moves toward the barista with Kagami. No point in sitting around anymore with no coffee now that they’re both here. They don’t exchange more the banal pleasantries until after they receive their coffee and sit down, and he leaves Kagami to make the first move to deepen the conversation. It was his idea to meet up after all, and they both know very well it isn’t Tobirama’s forte. It’s not that he’s nervous about saying the wrong thing, really, it’s not.

“How are your brothers doing? Are they pestering you as much during law school as you used to day they were before?” Kagami inquires.

“No, since I moved to a new apartment I don’t see them as much, and they’re pretty busy too now,” Tobirama starts, and seeing his companion’s head tilt curiously continues, “Hashirama got married recently, Itama decided to study abroad for a year, and Kawarama is being hit by the struggle that is pre-med.”

“I’m going to be honest I feel like there should be more than three, every time I saw your family at an event it felt like a new brother had suddenly appeared,” Kagami chuckled, “you probably could’ve just made up two new brothers and I would’ve believed it.”

Tobirama’s lips quirk up at that, admittedly his family never seemed to show up to anything all at once, and when they did show up often managed to bring unrelated people with them, so it may have been confusing who was who from the outside looking in, but… “Really? And here I thought professor Kagami noticed everything, a paragon of the criminal justice field. What a letdown that he’s just a man after all.”

He fakes a gasp in reply, clutching a hand over his heart. “Slander! I am both a paragon of criminal justice and mere mortal like you,” he asserts, grinning at him, “That’s what makes my powers truly impressive.”

Tobirama is starting to grin as well, and quickly takes a sip of coffee to mask it. “Of course, how silly of me,” he jokes, and then moves things back on track before he lets his amusement show too much, “Do you have any siblings?”

“Nope,” Kagami replies, exaggerating the ‘p’ sound. His cheeky grin returns, “It’s for the best really, it would be hard on them, always being compared to a paragon such as myself.”

He quirks a brow, and hums disbelievingly. Kagami leans in on an elbow in response, and picks up his coffee in one hand. His smirk not shrinking at all as he sips at it, playfully daring Tobirama to disagree verbally.

Not rising to the bait this time, he asks, “Have you been working on anything special? Doing more than just teaching this semester?”

Kagami swiftly straightens out, and falls into a more serious tone in before responding, “Actually, I’ve been working on a study. We’ve recently finished forming the questionnaires and procedures, and are trying to find a good place for a sizable random sample. New discoveries in the field are always important, although I don’t want to get into it until we get results. I’d love to go over it with you at a later date.” Kagami leans back in a bit then, although not as casually as before, and asks after Tobirama in return, “I know you always have passion studies and projects going on alongside your law studies. What are you looking into now?”

Tobirama wouldn’t admit if someone later asked, even if it may be true, that seeing someone so genuinely interested in his research got him carried away. However, discussing his various books and discoveries with someone who could keep up with him, and who really tried to understand even when it was going rather beyond their own comprehension of the subject is rare for him. Most people, such as Hashirama start to space out as soon as the terminology starts to go over their head, but Kagami is interested, and unafraid to ask for explanation for any terms or processes he doesn’t know. By the time Tobirama realizes they’ve been talking about the various things he’s studied since leaving the university Kagami teaches at for longer than is probably appropriate, most all of the time for their meeting is gone.

“Apologies, I believe I completely commandeered our meeting,” he says reluctantly, not eager to end the discussion. When it comes to his research he always has more to say.

“No need to apologize,” Kagami quickly assures him, “I liked discussing all your studies. It’s very interesting, and besides I think it’s worth it alone to see your face light up talking about it.”

Tobirama is surely blushing very brightly, he can feel the heat of his face, and his pale skin means that even the lightest blush shows clearly. He tries to think of a proper response, but he seems to be short-circuiting a bit, and absolutely nothing is coming to mind. Is this flirting, should he flirt back? There are very few ways to interpret a statement like that, but if anyone could misread that it would be himself, so he’s second guessing himself. Also, he’s not great at flirting on purpose. Maybe he should just finish his, now rather cold, coffee and try not to continue blushing.

Kagami leans on his elbows, and rests his chin on his interlocked fingers. He glances up at him, and asks brightly, “What do you plan to do when you pass your bar exam?”

Relieved for the mercy of having something easy to answer, Tobirama replies with renewed confidence, “Well I need to get my foot in the door somewhere, and get experience as a proper lawyer first. I think I’ll end up working as a public defender for a while, since there’s never enough of those. I suppose how well I like that will help decide when I move on and to what type of work I move on to. One thing for sure I’m determined to never be a divorce lawyer, I couldn’t handle the level of nonsense involved in that.”

Kagami giggles in response to that. “I can’t imagine you as a divorce lawyer, I know a couple once spend two hours arguing over the contents of the fridge and I think you’d have walked out of the room at that point,” he manages in between chuckles.

“Exactly! I couldn’t do it.”

“Well I’m sure you’ll be fine at any other type of work, but until then, if you need any help studying for the exam, or with anything in the busy month leading up to it, I’d be happy to help. Just text me,” Kagami stands up then, “It looks like we’re out of time.”

Tobirama checks the time as he packs away his laptop and things, he really didn’t use it at all after Kagami came. “The time seems like it went by quickly,” he contemplates, as they walk toward the door, “I suppose we’ll just have to meet again soon.”

Kagami presses close towards him as they exit together, he thinks maybe it was an accident, the doorway is small, but he doesn’t pull away when they’re out. Standing on the sidewalk he rests his hand against Tobirama’s bicep. “We really will,” he says wistfully, “I’m certainly glad we ran into each other again.”

Kagami’s standing very close, looking up at him, and Tobirama never realized before he was this much taller than him. If they were of a closer height their faces would be awfully close to touching, it would be easy to tilt his own head down more and make them touch. He looks at Kagami’s lips a moment longer than may be normal, before taking a small step back. He’s still not confident he’s reading this right, and he doesn’t want to get ahead of himself…but, maybe next time.

“I’m very glad as well,” he finally continues the conversation with a small smile, “I haven’t had such a pleasant evening in a while. If I need any help with my exam you’ll be my first call. Goodnight, Kagami.”

“Goodnight, Tobirama,” he smiles back. His hand slowly slides off Tobirama’s arm, and they walk their separate ways towards home.

But they are friends now! (they just won’t admit that 😔)

If they were to meet as children, I feel like something like the Teiko incident can be avoided or the impact could be less hurtful than what we have in the canon universe.

With Kagami by Aomine’s side, he wouldn’t tolerate this kind of bullshit for his friend because “the hell was that supposed to mean!!? Is your couch an idiot!” He wouldn’t want to see Aomine spiraling into darkness nor do he want to see the very boy that made basketball fun for him (including Tatsuya) lose that fire.

Heck! He doesn’t like Aomine been hurt. The same goes to Aomine. He would literally beat the shit out of people that show discrimination towards Kagami just because he grew up mostly abroad. Or events that made Kagami doubted himself.

Both of them are very protective towards those they cared about.

(Unless…we’re approaching the childhood friends things to the angst spectrum….Like Kagami going to live abroad because of his dad’s job before Aomine joined Teiko. And that leads to the Teiko incident and the Tatsuya incident…..Then yeah, troubles happen but in a different route…….)

You think maybe if Kagami and Aomine have met each other long before they did, they could actually have turn out as friends?

(We know that trouble could have happened eventually, as actually it did, but dreaming doesn't hurt, does it?)

Gom, Kagami and Kiyoshi's s/o surprises them after they had been studying for a year abroad :)

Kuroko: You smiled softly as you took a seat just outside the gym. A vanilla milkshake sat beside you while you played on your phone and waited for your boyfriend to head outside. You almost missed him when he finally came outside, but he actually didn’t even notice you. You let out a cough and stood up, holding the milkshake in your hand. His eyes grew as wide as he finally noticed you standing in front of him. With a giggle, you placed the milkshake in his hand. It of course slipped from his shaking fingers but he didn’t mind, instead, he wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into the tightest hug his shocked form could muster.

Kagami: You knew where he put his spare key, so sneaking into his apartment was easy. You left your suitcase in the middle of his living room mostly just to mess with him and took a nice, long shower before crawling into bed naked. Then, you waited for him to come home. You heard him come home and mutter in confusion about your luggage and hid under the blanket. You heard his footsteps stop in the doorway and sat up, pulling the blanket off your head. You giggled at his shocked face but were soon surprised yourself as he tackled you back onto the bed.

Kiyoshi: It was perfectly romantic. You had gone to his place before he got out of practice–and of course informed his grandparents of your plan–and went into his room. You closed the blinds, lit candles, and of course, scattered your underwear over his floor (that part you did not tell his grandparents about) before you went and hid in his closet. When he came home, you watched his confusion grow for a solid five minutes as he examined the candles and your underwear. You could hardly contain your giggles before you walked out of his closet silently and approached him from behind. You reached around him and took the panties from his hand. “Those are mine,” you murmured as he turned to face you. His eyes grew wide and his arms were soon around you. Sure, you could have been classier, but this was far more fun.

Kise: It was too easy. You even walked through the gym into the locker room and he didn’t see you. You grabbed everything he had in his locker and walked out into the hallway outside the gym, waiting for a frantic Ryouta to come running by you. And that indeed happened. Well, it almost happened. His foot caught onto one of the straps of the bag that sat beside you and he tripped rather easily. He looked back to see who had tripped him and was more than shocked to find you. “(name)-cchi?” he asked softly. He smiled brightly and lunged at you, wrapping his arms around you. “You’re back!” You giggled and ran your fingers through his blonde locks. “Yeah,” you mumbled softly, “I’m back.”

Midorima: You debated for a while on where to surprise him. Deciding that you couldn’t wait until he got home, you made your way to his school, and it was on your way there that you developed your plan. You placed a trail of the past month’s lucky items for Cancer leading up to an unmanned rickshaw. That was where you were hidden under a pile of (zodiac sign) lucky items, waiting for him to to figure it out. He wasn’t saying anything, but you knew he was making his way towards you because you could hear him stop to pick up every item. You soon heard him stop in front of the rickshaw and let out a soft sigh. “This isn’t funny, Takao,” he muttered under his breath. That was when you popped out of the pile and wrapped your arms around him. “I’m not Taco,” you told him before kissing his cheek.

Aomine: Honestly, you hadn’t planned on surprising him like this. You had been texting him for the past hour trying to get a hold of him, but the oaf wasn’t answering. You made your way to Touou, passing by an outdoor basketball court on your way. There was a figure lying on the bleachers, and you knew exactly who it was. Once you finally got to your sleeping boyfriend, you pulled the basketball from his arm and dropped it on his face. He opened his eyes and began to growl out curses until he saw who it was in front of him. It didn’t take long for you to wind up in his lap, his arms around your waist and his hands surprising you more than you had surprised him.

Murasakibara: One of his siblings let you into his house, knowing that what you were doing was supposed to be on the DL. You went to the kitchen and began baking. A few hours later and you had completed the cake, message written in frosting and all. You took a seat on his bed and waited for him to come home. You knew his first stop would be the kitchen and he probably wouldn’t come into his room until he finished the cake, so you relaxed a bit. You dozed off a bit until you heard his heavy footsteps towards his room. “Oh,” he murmured, licking the frosting from his thumb. His eyes were wide in shock and he took a seat beside you. “When did (name)-chin come home?” The idiot didn’t even read the message on the cake.

Akashi: Surprising Akashi might have been harder than giving birth. If you wanted him to be truly clueless, you had to fly to another island, and then pay your way back home in cash. It was pricey, and it took forever, but totally worth it. You couldn’t surprise him at his home–surveillance and all the jazz–so you had to go to his school. You heard practice going on in the gym so you headed into the locker room, going straight to his locker and crawling inside. You didn’t have to wait long for the team to come inside the locker room and for Akashi to open his locker. You fell into his arms, holding him tightly in your arms. “You’re lucky I knew you were in there, (name),” he told you as he wrapped his arms around you. “Otherwise I would have left you in there to die.” Oh Sei-chan. Always the romantic.
