#kaoru sakurayashiki x y/n

[camryn-haitani]

kissing the Sk8 boys before their beef

reki kyan, langa hasegawa, kaoru sakurayashiki (cherry blossom), kojiro nanjo (joe) x GN! reader

TW: cursing

lowercase intended. this is the beginning of y'all's relationship so this is the first time y'all kiss

(s/y/n) means yalls 'S' name if y'all want a secret identity like how kaoru has cherry blossom

Reki Kyan

you hear the door slam open as you jolt your head up to see what it is. you see your boyfriend in the doorframe looking directly at you

"Y/N Y/N Y/N. GUESS WHAAAAAAAT!" he yells as he runs to your desk. you smush his cheeks with your hand. "reki baby, calm down. and what is it?" you ask. "sorry, but you gotta guess." he says in a more hushed manner.

"uhmmmm you got a beef?" you question. he nods his head. "and lemme guess, with shadow?" he nods more excited. "I've been studying his tricks and cheats so I'll definitely beat him now." he whispers so people wont hear him talk about S. y'all's teacher walks in and reki goes to sit down, bouncing his knee up and down, not being able to contain his excitement.

time skip

langa, reki, and you gather up at S and look for Joe and Cherry. you see Cherry's bright ass pink hair and lead the guys over to him.

"glad to see y'all can make it. reki I wish you luck." cherry says in a monotone voice. "thanks cherry! i really appreciate it" reki smiles.

"yo! you ready to get your ass kicked, you little punk!" shadow walks up behind reki. "hell yeah! I'm gonna beat you tonight, shadow. and if I win, you have to get a act like a baby for 10 minutes. wah wah!" reki mocks him like a baby.

"oh yeah?! and if I win, you have to do the same!" shadow yells. "really creative, huh?" he says.

they get into their starting positions and wait for the lights.

"reki wait!" you run up to him. "s/y/n? what are you-" he gets cut off by you kissing him. he kisses you back and wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you in. you pull back, "good luck!" you smile at him.

let's just say that a certain video of shadow got sent to your phone :)

he was so happy that you kissed him to the point where he ran to you at the finish line and tackled you in another kiss. he did not want to let you go

Langa Hasegawa

you were watching langa practice some new tricks that reki told him about. he had a beef with some random guy that challenged him, but langa had nothing to worry about. he's sure he can beat him.

of course langa fell a few times and he always came to you to bandage him up. he always has that sad walk everytime he came up to you with a scraped hand or knee. but nevertheless, he always got back up again.

"gasp, langa look!" you pointed at the sunset. one of two things. 1. you wanted to show him how pretty the sunset was. 2. it was about that time to start heading over to S. you packed your things up and starting heading there.

of course, reki was already at S and waiting for y'all. "langa! s/y/n! you're here!" reki ran up and tackled us in a hug. "omg reki, hi!" you laugh. he gets up and helps me and langa up. "dude are you ready?!" reki asks. "of course!" langa says with a smile. 'he looks so pretty when he's happy and smiling' you say to yourself.

langa was about to go to the starting line when you called for him. he walked up to you, "yes, honey?" he asks. "one thing." you grabbed his collar and kissed him. you let go of his shirt and wished him luck. she was absolutely red and stuttering, poor boy could barely walk back to the starting line.

he of course won. he was still so red when he came up to you at the finish line. he was a stuttering mess asking you if you can kiss him more often

Kaoru Sakurayashiki (Cherry Blossom)

you're at where kaoru works and you're just watching him do whatever the hell he does when he works. you're just staring at him, mindlessly, engaged in whatever he's doing. "i can feel your eyes burn into my head, darling. is there something you need?" he asks. "oh uhm no... i just like watching you work.." you admit embarrassed.

after he gets off work, you both head over to Joe's for some food. "well if it isn't my two favorite people. the usual seats and orders, I presume?" joe asks. "you know us so well" you respond.

you and kaoru sit at the bar so you can talk to Joe. he brings out both of your drinks and food and leans on the counter. "so che- I mean kaoru." Joe messes up. kaoru gives him a 'watch what you say' glare at Joe. "how about a beef tonight, kaoru? just like old times, huh?" joe asks. "fine, but only if it'll get you off my back, you dopey gorilla." he says.

time skip

cherry took almost an hour to get ready, mostly on his hair, and we go to find Joe. i see his deep, moss green hair (insultingly) and he sees me. he runs over and gives me a bone crunching hug. "s/y/n!! you made it." he says. he looks at cherry, "oh, and the princess has arrived as well. how long did it take you to do your hair this time?" joe asks. cherry just slapped his back and joe hissed at the pain.

"you ready, you walking shampoo ad?" joe looks over at him. "ready to wipe that smirk off your dumbass face." he fires back. "oooh so sassy today."

"wait, darling." you call to cherry. "yes, angel?" he sits back up. "good luck, mkay?" you pull down his mask before he protests and kiss him. his eyes widen in shock, he doesn't know what to feel or how to react. you pull up his mask before anyone else can see.

cherry absolutely won against Joe since he had your kiss to motivate him.

he now requires a kiss before every single beef he has

Kojiro Nanjo (Joe)

like cherry, you were admiring kojiro while he worked. just something about the unform he wears makes his muscles and everything look so good on him. you weren't gonna lie, you may or may not have been slowly undressing him in your mi-

"if you keep undressing me with your eyes, I'm gonna catch a cold." he says with his back turned to you as he washes dishes. he has his sleeves halfway rolled up, making him 10x hotter. "oh shut up you gorilla." you say as you look away, but then look at him in the corner of your eyes. "oooh ouch that one stung," he says sarcastically, "you've been hanging out with kaoru too much." he says, never turning around.

once he's done with the dishes and everyone's cleared out, he dries his hands and leans on the counter to look at you. "some little punk kid challenged me to a beef tonight. you're gonna be there right, darling?" he questions. "well of course, sweetheart. wouldn't want to miss seeing you shirtless." you shot back while looking at his hands. there's steam coming off of them from the hot ass water he was doing the dishes with. "my eyes are up here, darling. you can see me shirtless tonight, lovey." he raises your head with his finger. "oh don't worry, I plan on it. and if I hear one of your fangirls yelling about how they wanna quote 'marry your abs'," you finger quote, "I'll jump on their asses." you sickly smile. "damn, you're hot when your possessive."

time skip

you both ride to where either reki, langa, or cherry was, or whoever you find first. reki and langa run up to you and jumps you in a hug, making you fall off your board. "s/y/n!" they say while pilling on you. they always do this every time you come to S, but you don't mind, it's cute.

joe pulls them off of you and helps you up. the kid who challenged him starts egging him on about how Joe will lose and that he'll never beat him. this, of course, pissed you off. "joe!" you wiggled your finger to signal to come here. before he stops, you pulled his belt buckle, wrapped your arms around him, and kissed him. he doesn't hesitate to kiss you back immediately. you pull away, "kick his ass, darling" you tell him. "damn angel, do this all the time and I'll do whatever you say." he teases.

he, like cherry, had your kiss to motivate his win.

joe, and like reki, walked up to you after his win, and kissed you oh so passionately at his win

he also requires a kiss before every beef

“(Y/N)...psst, hey, (Y/N).”

“No.”

“What do you mean no?”

“I mean you're the reason we’re stuck here in the first place! So no!” 

“Hey, ain’t my fault Holak’s a pain in everyone’s ass and doesn’t like it when I kiss my favorite person in the hallway.”

“We were not kissing you were making out with me under the stairs, Munson. And now I have detention and it's your fault.”

Eddie Munson, king freak of Hawkins High, dungeon master and ring leader of Hellfire Club, and worst of all your boyfriend flashed his incredibly irritating and adorable smile at you—you looked away to not fall for it, going back to your homework. 

He leaned forward and whispered in your ear, “you weren’t complaining about it before she found us, were you?”

You could just smack him. 

Instead, you decided to tune him out and continue your work. May as well do something productive here, right?

You didn’t look up when the teacher mentioned something about having a meeting to go to and expecting you to behave yourselves, nor did you look up when he left. You, unfortunately, looked up when Eddie took your pencil out of your hand and sat on the desk in front of you. 

“Hey! That’s mine!”

“Come get it, sweetheart.”

There’s that cocky smirk you hate so much from him. 

You stood from your seat, as did he. He held the pencil above and behind his head, so you lunged forward for it. With a bit of laugh, he dropped the pencil and wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you in tight. Your hand you reached for the pencil with landed on his shoulder in defeat. 

“You’re a prick,” you complained, although you made no effort to pull away. 

“Mhm, yeah, and you hate me so much. Shut up and kiss me already.”

He silenced anything else you planned on saying with a needy kiss. Almost immediately you melted, using your other hand to run through his hair. When you tugged gently, he groaned against your lips, pulling you tighter against him. Without a second thought, he walked you backward into a desk (luckily not the one you’d been sitting at) and you sat on top. His hands traveled down from your waist to your legs, guiding you to wrap them around his waist. 

You pulled away from him, putting a finger over his lips to stop him from following yours. “We shouldn’t be doing this, Ed. We’re screwed if he comes back in.”

“You didn���t seem to be complaining.” 

You groaned in frustration and laid your head against his shoulder. “Eddie Munson, you are such a pain in my ass.” 

“I could be if ya let me.”

“Ed!”

a one shot of being cherry/kaoru’s s/o and joe not knowing for years because they’re so lowkey and flirting with her and kaorus like you gorilla get away from my beLOVED

A not secret with Kaoru Sakurayashiki

Author note: Awwww, my first request. I love to. BTW accidentally, not so accidentally made a second version of this. So if anyone is interested I can post that one too. Originally this is the second version, it was written longer, so decided to post it instead of the first one.

Warning: None, super sweet, one use of the word gorilla 

Word count: 948

Song inspiration: I was listening to Alone together from the Bridgerton musical, but also to POV by Ariana Grande 

Imagine this.....

Kojiro, Kaoru and you grew up together. You've known each other seens high school and ever seens high school Kojiro has flirted with you. Kojiro flirted with you so much that everyone thought either you were together or that Kojiro at least had a thing for you, but that you were unaware. Little did everyone know that you and a special quiet sophisticated man had been in a relationship seens your teenage years. Kojiro never knew because he was simply blind and because Kaoru just didn't care about if he knew or not. So at least 10 years go and Kojiro never catches on.

Kaoru and you have sweet moments between classes, Kaoru picking you up after every class and even walking you home almost every day for 3 years and Kojiro doesn't know. He thought,

´That's what a friend does´

The day you graduate, you and Kaoru share a beautiful moment where Kaoru promises to cherish you and always love you, with a simple promise ring. Kaoru was going to university and so was you, but you were going to different schools to pursue your dreams. Together you stand on the rooftop and share this moment. Sakura flowers fly around in the air and Kaoru finishes his promise with a cering kiss. The moment is fairytale-like and nothing can ruin the mood in the air.

Well except your very good friend Kojiro, who burst through the door, not reading the room at all and jumps at both of you. Kojiro suspected nothing, not even when Kaoru was glaring at him for the rest of the way home that very same day. Kojiro not understanding the glare keeps his arm around your shoulder. The rest of the day you and Kaoru just share longing looks.

By the time that you guys are 22, you all 3 have taken your place in your career of choice. Kaijo is starting his restaurant with no trouble, Kaoru is running his new company flawlessly and you are a successful (your/choice/of/work).

None of you has lost touch, or more like you haven't lost touch with the boys. You're still in a relationship with Kaoru and you still talk to Kojiro.

One day you and Kaoru decide to go out and eat. Kaoru has something special to tell you and you're looking forward to good news and a happy, amazing date with him. Kaoru decides to take you to Kojiro restaurant because he knows how much you miss your friend, even though he can't stand him most of the time.  

You and Kaoru enjoy an amazing dinner, with occasional interruptions by Kojiro. You expect Kaoru to explode on him, but he keeps his cool, through the night. When dessert arrives you notice something shiny on your plate.

By now Kojiro has left you guys alone to deal with other guests, so Kaoru decides that now is a perfect time to do what he has been wanting to do ever seens he first met you.

When the plate is placed on the table, you see it at the top of the dessert, there is a beautiful diamond ring. You look up at Kaoru, whos already watching you with adoration in his eyes. He takes your hand and opens his mouth to say something, but is interrupted by a sudden random appearance of Kojiro.

"So hows it going here? You know, maybe we should ditch the bore and hang at my place"

You're still in shock so you're only looking to Kaoru and then to Kojiro with your mouth in ajar. Kojiro doesn't catch on that he has delayed an extraordinary moment. Kaoru is clenching his fists and trying to calm down the fire of anger in him, not to ruin the beautiful time you have. But the fact that Kojiro is still standing by your table and openly flirting with you, the love of his life he is trying to propose to. That fact alone gets him to lose his temper. In just a few seconds Kaoru has risen from his seat and kicked Kojiro, hard to the other side of the room.

"Can't you see I'm trying to propose to my beloved, you stupid gorilla"

Kojiro doesn't even pay mind to the pain of getting kicked by Kaoru, he's just sitting on the floor, completely bewildered. 

Kaoru and you. 

You and Kaoru.

 No.....No.

You were out of his league, simply. But when Kaoru sits back down and you take his hand in yours and speak to him with a soothing voice and Kaoru is looking at you as if you placed the stars on the sky, it hits him. And the fact that he didn't see it before, the secluded looks and touches. Everything he thought was just "friendly", that was them cherishing each other. And it fit, it was a perfect match.

Kojiro was sort of beating himself up now. He was flirting with you, right in front of Kaoru. He needed to apologize. But not now. Maybe tomorrow, when he called to congrats you guys. He didn't want to interfere with the delicate moment you were having.

Right where you sat together, there was a wonderful spark. An atmosphere so bright that he couldn't imagine how he didn't see how much you loved the other. There, where you sat together, your left hand in Kaoru's right, a stunning ring on your ring finger, with a smile so bright, not even the sun could compare.

A beautiful moment fit to be frozen in time, in a form of a picture, put on the wall of Kojiro´s restaurant.

For every guest to witness and for the astonishing trinity to remember.

Blossomed Lens

Back home, you had always seen your life through one, dull lens. But moving to the beautiful island of Okinawa, Japan, to start the next chapter in your life, helps you to discover new ways of seeing the world. It seems your black and white world may just start to become tainted with pink blossom.

Part 1 - An Escapade in Okinawa

You glare at your reflection in the small bathroom mirror for the last time. Is your hair pinned upright? Are there any visible creases in your blouse? Has your makeup smudged at all?

You know you’re just overthinking. You’re fine.

So walking back into your bedroom to your bed, you sit down and collect together all the documents you need for your interview. Your résumé sits at the top, with a small professional picture of yourself staring back at you. Underneath, is your application, clearly printed in black and white. Lastly, your portfolio.

The job you’re applying for is only a personal assistant position at a Calligraphy studio up to the centre of town. Though, what interests you the most, is the technology involved within the firm. Being a photographer like yourself, art and technology is a pair you’re both very familiar and well equipped with. So seeing the application, you just could not stop yourself to apply.

You’ve been living in Okinawa, Japan for two months now. Ever since you visited the beautiful island on a holiday in your teens with your friends, you made a pact to yourself that you will move to this heavenly island, and take endless pictures of the beautiful landscape scenery that captures its essence.

Of course, leaving behind your friends and family was difficult. But you’re not the type of girl who stays in one place for long. Travelling is what you do, and photography has become an orthodox lifestyle for you. A lifestyle in which makes you happy.

It hasn’t been so hard, the change of scene. Okinawa is just how you remembered it. Paradisiacal beaches, dreamy sunsets, friendly people, delicious food. It makes your hometown look relatively dull. But nothing will beat the excitement of when you first stepped off the plane and was welcomed by the heat of the island, luggage in hand and adventure on your mind.

Because of the size of the Japanese island, your apartment did not cost as much as you thought it would. It’s basic with one bedroom, a living area, a kitchen and a bathroom. Besides, you have been saving for this escapade for three years now, you have a decent amount of money to last you a good eight or nine months. But not only did you save money for three years, but you learnt how to speak and write Japanese too. You’re not completely fluent, but you knew if you wanted to work out here you needed to know the basics. And from what you’ve spoken so far with the locals, your paid courses have come to good use.

Naturally, you want to become a professional photographer as soon as possible. But in order to apply to the best companies on the island, you want to complete your upcoming project; Night Lights of Okinawa. Yes, the island is breathtaking during the day, but the night is just as exhilarating. Thus, after your project is completed and you have experience working on the island, you will set out on your photography career.

But for now, you let your eyes scan over the application for Sakurayashiki Calligraphy once more. It’s a basic personal assistant job. Providing to the needs of the very busy founding director, while maintaining the clientele, and looking after the studio. The pay is what also enticed you. The company must be very wealthy to pay an assistant this much. Actually, out of all the other places you have applied to, this seems like the highest-paid one.

Sliding all of your paperwork safely into your portfolio folder, you grab your phone off of the bedside table and type the studio’s address into maps. It's not long at all, a half-hour walk. You don’t exactly want to take your bike, the fear your ironed down outfit will become creased. Thus, you set out on your half-hour walk.

The walk significantly calms your nerves before the interview. You walk along the stoney lanes with a small smile on your face. Moving to the island still hasn’t set in, so you always catch yourself smiling. People must think you’re a lunatic.

The sun is beating down, it’s a hot day, so you’re relieved to wear a short-sleeved blouse and a long skirt. You’re still not quite sure about the interview clothing requirements here in Japan, so you played it safe making sure your skirt was long enough and your shoes we’re not too high. You even kept your makeup minimal, with some light blush, lip gloss and mascara.

After taking a slightly longer route to walk beside the crystal blue sea, you check your maps to see you have arrived at the building. The outdoor looks very clean, a two-story white building, with varnished wooden panels lining the windows and a sign in Japanese that reads ‘Sakurayashiki Calligraphy’.

This is it. The interview you’re hoping you'll bag.

The butterflies in the pits of your stomach begin to flutter more aggressively. You just hope the founding director is a nice man, and the job is just what you expected it would be.

So taking a deep breath, you step through the floral tainted doors into the Calligraphy studio.

The place smells very clean, with a small hint of cherries. The walls are rich mahogany with golden swirls and patterns painted across. The floor is sparkling varnished wood, and there’s natural light pouring through the vast windows. It really is a grand looking place.

Once you step through the doors, a young woman dressed in a deep purple kimono approaches you immediately and smiles pleasantly at you. “Hello, you must be Evelyn Reader! A pleasure to make your acquaintance” She greets, bowing slightly. You notice she is speaking in English. She must have read your application.

You bow too, letting a graceful smile touch your face “Yes, it’s a pleasure to meet you. But please, call me Eva”

“Of course” She smiles “Sakurayashiki-Sama will be with you shortly. Please, take a seat” She smiles, gesturing to the two pristine black chairs by the window. “Would you like any refreshments? Water, tea, some coffee?”

“Just some water, please,” You say, making yourself comfy on the chair.

“Of course. I will be just a moment”

Once the woman has left, you fish in your bag for your portfolio to memorise your résumé. You check over each skill you have listed, each attribute, retaining each bit of information. By the time your water is set on the glass coffee table before you, you feel everything is intact in your brain.

You’ve got this. You’ve had many interviews in the past. This one is no different.

Once ten very long minutes pass by, you hear footsteps coming from the stairs. You direct your eyes to a suited young male making his way towards the door. You spot his briefcase in his hand. He must be another candidate.

The woman immediately gets up from her reception desk and heads over to the male, taking the empty teacup from his grasp and waving goodbye.

You feel even more nervous now. Now you’ve seen another candidate, you just can’t help but compare. He looked very formal. Do you look presentable enough? Perhaps you should have worn those shiny back heels tucked away in your wardrobe? Or put on a brighter shade of lipstick?

No. Don’t overthink, Eva. You have got this.

That’s when an electronic voice echos around the room. Almost like a robot.

“Master Sakurayashiki is now ready for the next candidate” It speaks. You look over towards the young woman on the desk and see a faint purple glow illuminating her face. Is this the famous AI technology you have read about on their website?

“Thank you Carla” The woman responds, sitting up from her desk and directing her gaze onto you.

“Sakurayashiki-Sama will see you now. If you would like to follow me” She smiles warmly. Your heart suddenly jolts at that. You feel your hands go slightly clammy as you hold tightly onto the portfolio in your grip. You hope you don’t get the folder all sweaty, that would be embarrassing.

You follow the receptionist up the stairs in which the male candidate came from, and walk along another mahogany corridor. At the end, you reach a tall door. Delicately written across a wooden plate attached to the door, are the words ‘桜屋敷 スタジオ’ Kaoru Sakurayashiki’s Studio.

“You can walk straight in,” She says, gesturing to the wooden door before you.

Pushing the door forward, you step foot into a large space. The walls are the same style, if not with more gold patterns accompanying the deep red. The floor however is different, with a mix of light and dark purple tatami mats. To the far side of the wall is black shelving, with glittering awards and rich ornaments. And in the middle of the shelving is a large black plaque with what you assume is an example of Sakurayashiki’s work. Next to the shelving, sits a man at a dark wooden table.

Immediately hearing your entrance, he rises from the table to greet you. He’s dressed in navy blue traditional Japanese clothing. Although what catches your eye most of all is his vibrant pink hair, tied to the side in a messy ponytail. His eyes are a piercing golden yellow, and they shine in the daylight’s sunbeams.

You have to admit, he is a very handsome man. That makes your interview much worse, doesn’t it? That the man who will possibly be your boss if you do get the job, is incredibly good looking? Snapping back to reality and focusing on the matter at hand, you smile warmly at the man.

“Evelyn Reader it’s a pleasure to meet you” He smiles, holding out a delicate hand for you to shake.

You hope your hand is not too shaky as you extend it to touch with Sakurayashiki’s. “It’s lovely to meet you too. But please, call me Eva” Your voice comes out a lot more confident than you thought it would. That’s a relief.

“Ok, Eva, if that is what you prefer” He smiles “Please, take a seat over here” He announces. You notice how he is also speaking in English. He knows it well, speaking very formally.

“Thank you” You smile, making your way to the opposite side of the table. You sit down on the purple tatami mat and find it is very comfortable. Putting your bag beside you, you place the black folder on the table.

“Thank you for taking the time to visit today. I assume you found our studio well?” He asks. The way he is looking intently into your eyes is making you suddenly come over all nervous again. So you place your hands tightly in your lap to stop you from fidgeting.

“Yes, I did. It’s not too far from my apartment actually. Just a half-hour walk” You respond.

“I see, that is quite fortunate” Sakurayashiki hums. “What is your résumé profile?” He asks.

As soon as the question escapes his lips, a small black disc in the middle of the table lights up, with a purple C illuminating at the top of the beam.

“Evelyn Reader. Age twenty-two. Nationality, English” The robotic female voice speaks from the small black disc. It’s the very same voice that spoke downstairs to the receptionist. The technology picked up his question so easily? Extraordinary.

“Thank you Carla” Sakurayashiki smiles happily. You assume this piece of technology must be the man's pride and joy. He even gave it a name. “It appears you are from England. Whatever made you decide to move to such a reserved island to the south of Japan?” He asks.

“I actually visited Okinawa back as a teenager on a holiday. Since then, I have been dying to come back and potentially move here permanently. And well, after getting my degree at University I wanted a change of scene, so I decided to go for it. I have been living here for two months now, I spent them making the most of the island and exploring all around but now I think it’s time I settled down into a new role” Once you finish you take a small breath. You feel you did quite well with your explanation. You hope you’re exactly what Sakurayashiki is looking for.

“You are quite right, the island is indeed beautiful. I’m glad you’re enjoying it here. What is it you did at university in England?” He questions.

You pause for just a second. You feel a little dumbfounded now. You’re not sure which questions he is asking you and which he is asking the AI Carla. A few seconds later when the technology doesn’t light up again, you respond. “I did a degree in photography. I feel I have a very creative spark, and I did a lot of the arts all through school and through University. I paint and draw in my spare time, I am very skilled with editing softwares such as Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. And of course, photography” You explain.

“Naturally someone with a creative spark is exactly what we need for this position. Although most of your work will be assisting when you can around the studio, it is still important you have a keen eye for the arts” He says.

“Yes, well in my portfolio here," You say, gesturing to the black folder before you. “My work ranges from photography photos to fine art pieces, and I paint in my spare time too. I have also learnt Japanese Hiragana, which I feel I am quite skilled in at this point. So if by any means you need assisting in the calligraphy side of things, I am no stranger to the paintbrush. My experience as you will see from my résumé, I worked in an art studio back at University. It was my mothers, she is a professional painter. That is where I picked up most of my artistic skills”

All the while you talk Sakurayashiki sits and listens. You try your best to hold his gaze while you speak. But you can’t help but feel horribly nervous when you do. You find yourself saying subconsciously again, why does he have to be so darn handsome?

“That’s interesting to hear. My mother too is a professional painter, and it is where I refined my skills also" He smiles "It seems you have the creative persona we are looking for. Do you mind if I take a look at your portfolio?” Sakurayashiki asks.

“Oh really? That’s funny” You smile. “And of course, here” You slide the black folder towards him.

“Thank you,” He says. He opens it first on the photography page, examining the glossy pictures inside. He is quiet for a moment as he flicks through. He then looks through your paintings, and finally your written Hiragana. “Your work is something special. I can see you definitely have that creative spark you was talking about. What is your favourite piece?” He asks, with his eyes still on your work.

Hm. No one has ever asked you that. You take a moment to have a think before answering “If I had to pick one, including my paintings, I would have to say my photograph of the eerie-looking forest. I took it last year when I was on holiday in the Lake District in the UK with my friends. Even though it was summer, it was raining the whole time we were there. But the shot was so chilling and almost sinister from the gloomy colours and the dark undertones. And with the rain, I just feel it completes the picture. It’s almost like a shot taken from a horror movie…” you realise you have been rambling so much about a single photograph you instantly stop yourself. “Sorry I do love that piece as you can see” You smile awkwardly.

Sakurayashiki smiles. “No do not apologise. I can see how passionate you are about your work and that is very important. I enjoyed listening. That is why I asked you, is it not?” He says. “I particularly like this painting here myself” He hums, tilting the folder slightly towards you. The painting he chose was a self-portrait from a project back in sixth form when you was eighteen. It’s an old one, but it’s very colourful and was inspired by a retro styled artist.

Although once it sinks into your brain that it is indeed a self-portrait he has picked out and right now your eyes are staring back at you, you can’t help a slight blush rise to your cheeks. “Oh… thank you. That’s quite an old one from back at school” You say, tightening your grip onto your pencil skirt. At this point, you don’t care if the thing gets creased. You’re too god damn nervous again.

“It’s different from the others in here. A lot brighter, and more vibrant in colour” He comments, closing the folder to slide back to you. “Now you mentioned earlier that you have learnt the Japanese language which is very impressive, how long did it take you?” He asks.

You feel your mouth has turned incredibly dry, so you take a sip of your water before answering “I visited Okinawa when I was Nineteen. So about three years. However, whenever I do get the chance, I continue to practice”

“Excellent. It’s nice to see someone motivated in learning the language now that they’re over here. A lot of people tend to stick with the basics” He sighs “Now of course a requirement on the application is to speak moderately in Japanese. You will be handling our clients after all. So Miss Reader tell me, what makes you the ideal candidate for the role?”

Sakurayashiki continues to ask you standard interview questions after that. What your skills are, your strengths and weaknesses, your greatest achievement, where you see yourself in five years. You answer each one in detail, and precisely, all the while taking sips at your water to give yourself time to think of the best way to answer.

“And when is it Miss Reader that you can start with us if you were to be hired for the position?” Sakurayashiki asks.

“Well, straight away” You smile.

What you did notice throughout the entire interview was that Sakurayashiki did not once write down your responses to any of his questions. But then again, this is a man with exceptional technology, it would not surprise you if the AI Carla is recording everything for him.

“That’s great. Well, I believe that is everything from me” He smiles “Is there anything you wish to ask?”

“Yes, there is actually. On the application, it states there will be a requirement for travelling. What does this entail?” You ask.

“Of course. We often have a lot of events and talks in which we need to be present and I will require a lot of your assistance. Though I do believe it will be good experience for you. I also have regular meetings with our clientele, and it would be ideal to have you there to note everything down for me, as well as get to know them formally. I would expect at least once a week you will be away from the studio”

“I see that sounds good. I was hoping for a bit of travelling in my next position” You smile.

“Well, it’s lucky you found this position” He responds with another warm smile.

“Yes, it is”

“Is there anything else you wish to ask me before we end this interview?” He asks.

You think it over. You feel you know everything that you need to. And your mother always says at least one question is always enough at the end of an interview. Too many will overwhelm the interviewer. “No that is all”

“Perfect” Sakurayashiki stands then, patting down his kimono. “Thank you again for meeting with me today. I will have Hina on reception give you a call by tomorrow morning to let you know if you are successful”

“Thank you for the opportunity Sakurayashiki-sama" You smile "I will look forward to the call” You extend your hand to shake with Sakurayashiki’s once more.

Once you’re outside the wooden doors you pause just a moment before you head downstairs. There's a feeling deep down inside you, one that you don’t want to admit. But you covertly hope you get the job just so you can get to know Sakurayashiki himself. He seems like a very interested man… well, by interesting you probably mean good looking.

No, stop being so shallow, you think. You shake your head to rid of the ridiculously unprofessional thoughts before walking back down the stairs. Heading for the door, the receptionist Hina says goodbye and gives you a wave.

On your way home, you take a little detour and head to a nearby park. It’s still a beautiful day, and you feel you’re getting a little hot in your blouse and long pencil skirt. Even though you look around and see the locals walking by in jeans and sweatshirts, you’re still not used to a warmer climate. You smile to yourself again. You do not miss the English weather one bit. Looking in your bag for your DSLR camera (you never leave your apartment without it). You carefully take off the lens disc and begin to set it up.

Lens correction off, Landscape mode on.

Luckily you did not have to do much adjusting as you’ve only been taking scenery pictures lately.

So making yourself comfortable on the green grass and closing your left eye, you look through the camera lens and focus your sights on two elegant cherry blossom trees ahead of you. It’s the middle of Spring, so the colours are brilliantly vivid and the blossom is in perfect bloom. But for some strange reason, before you click the shutter button, a particular face comes into your mind.

A certain someone with pink, blossom coloured hair.

You shake off the thought quickly. You’re thinking of that man now? Stop being so weird Eva, you probably won’t get the job and see him ever again.

So ignoring the face in your mind, you focus your open eye on the two trees. Once you adjust the focus manually with delicate fingers and take a deep intake of breath to avoid a shaky picture, you click the shutter. You zoom in, zoom out. Angle both portrait mode and landscape. The photos come out perfectly by the time you finish.

You can’t wait to get home and edit these on Photoshop. You just know with the right adjustments, the photo will look even better. Perhaps something you can add to your portfolio.

The next scene you focus your lens on is a full landscape view of the park. There aren’t many people in the park being three o’clock on a weekday, so the shot is mostly the greenery and blooming flowers.

You spend another half hour walking around the field, taking shots of every inch. You snap pictures of the tweeting birds in the trees, the strikingly bright Kaneshon flowers, you even take a snap of an urban looking view of the buildings surrounding the green space.

Once you feel satisfied enough, you decide to head back to your small apartment and spend the evening cooking a basic vegetable stir-fry meal, watching sitcoms on Netflix, and editing your photos in bed until you drift off into a pleasant sleep.

.

You wake up to the ringing sounds of your phone alarm the next morning. You made sure to be up early just in case the calligraphy studio calls. So hopping out of bed you stretch your arms and freshen up in the bathroom. You wonder to yourself what to do today. You could plan your next trip across the island to another scenic spot, as small as the island is there is still so much you haven’t explored yet. You still haven’t tried out a Hot Springs yet. Perhaps that is something you can do today?

So walking out the bathroom with a little bounce in your step, you pull your laptop out from under your bed and get to work on searching for a nearby Hot Springs. After some searching for a few minutes on the world wide web, you note the closest one is at least a twenty-minute drive. Well, all you have is a bike so that will at least take double that. You don’t think you have the stamina to cycle for forty minutes.

You decide to search for the best option for public transport instead. Two buses.

"Hm, that's not bad at all" you hum to yourself.

You make sure to screenshot every part of your route, before sending the pictures to your phone.

You decide to go just before midday, ensuring you have a large breakfast beforehand. You put your laptop away back under your bed when your phone suddenly starts ringing. Your heart immediately jumps into your mouth.

"Oh jheeze ok. This is it" you say nervously.

As expected you didn’t recognise the number on the front. So clearing your voice with a cough, you answer the phone.

“Hello, am I speaking to Eva Reader? This is Hina here at Sakurayashiki Calligraphy” The polite female voice speaks from the other line. You note she is talking in Japanese this time. Perhaps Sakurayashiki informed her of your Japanese? You wonder.

“Hello Hina yes you are, how are you?” You respond in Japanese.

“I am very well thank you, are you well?” She asks.

“Yes thank you”

“Perfect. I firstly want to say on behalf of Sakurayashiki-Sama, thank you for applying to the position, and taking the time to visit us here at Sakurayashiki Calligraphy”

“No, thank you for the opportunity. It was nice to meet Sakurayashiki and see his wonderful work” You respond.

“I am sure he will be happy to hear that,” She says. There is a little pause. Even though it's silent, you are sure you can hear your heavy heartbeat thumping in your ribcage.

“I also want to congratulate you on being accepted as Sakurayashiki-Sama’s new personal assistant. He was very happy with how your interview went, and you are exactly the candidate he was looking for!” She says brightly.

You don’t think it is possible to smile even wider. You want to squeal and jump up on the bed. But of course, you do your best to stay put. “Thank you so much! That’s fantastic I am so happy”

Hina can hear you grinning. “As you should be! You did very well, in fact, Sakurayashiki-Sama even mentioned how well put together your portfolio was, he was very impressed. He hasn’t seen such a range of artistic work from a candidate before”

“Oh really? That’s amazing! I am so happy he liked my work. Thank you again for this opportunity!” You exclaim with a grin still fixed to your face.

“You’re very welcome! Sakurayashiki-Sama informed me that you will be available to start right away, is that so?”

“Yes, that is” you respond.

“Perfect, would you be able to start tomorrow? It will be a shorter shift than your desired hours, from 10 am until two. And it will just be the two of you going through your everyday role and the contract. Does this time work for you?”

“Yes, that’s great. I read on the application that it is required to wear traditional Japanese clothing for the role. Would this be needed for tomorrow?” You ask. You suddenly think to yourself that you don’t have any kimono lying around… perhaps you should have invested in one as soon as you moved here.

“Yes if that is possible, though it's not vital. As long as you wear the required clothing on your official first day, which will be in two days. Also, the colours we are required to wear are darker than usual. Just nothing too bright, and no patterns!” Hina replies.

“Ok, that all sounds fine thank you! I haven’t brought a kimono before so this should be exciting. I will look forward to coming back tomorrow”

“Oh, you will do just fine! The shops are all very accommodating here, they will be able to help you pick one out. One last thing, please remember to bring a form of identification so we can scan it through our system”

“I’m sure they will everyone has been lovely so far. And I will do. Thank you again!” You say.

“No worries. Have a great day Eva and we will see you tomorrow!”

“Bye!” You say, before hanging up. You sit still on your bed for just a moment, taking in the phone call you just had moments ago. Then, with a beaming wide smile on your face, you leap up.

“Wooo!” You shout, jumping up and down in excitement. You can’t believe your first interview here on the island, you’ve managed to bag the job. And the very job which pays exceptionally well. You just can’t believe it.

Once you’ve calmed down from the excitement, you think to yourself. You are a little surprised you got it if you’re being honest with yourself. You’re fairly sure there must have been professional calligraphers going for the position. But they chose you. He chose you.

The sudden thought of the pink-haired man makes the butterflies in your stomach begin again. You know it’s only because he’s attractive, and you’re not going to lie to yourself anymore, you are a tiny bit excited to see him again tomorrow.

Well, he is your boss now. You assume you will be working closely with him.

“Ok enough Eva, no more swooning over your new boss” You scold to yourself out loud, shaking your head again.

You’re going to have to make a rule. No thinking lustfully over your boss for longer than… ten seconds a day. No too much, five seconds.

This will not be easy.

You can find a full list for each part linked here. Let me know if you would like to be added to the taglist!

Noooo plss don’t delete your page ummm let’s see, have you watched Sk8 the Infinity?? If so can you maybe have black y/n be one of the founders of ‘S’ along with Cherry, Joe, and Adam. It can be a series or a one shot whatever you want it to be. 😭

au: I fucked up, so I had to rewrite it, sorry it took so long to come out T~T

This was never a good idea in the first place. Reki going against Adam? Maybe he's a masochist? Either way, this race is definitely a terrible idea. Miya knew it. Cherry and Joe knew it. Langa was the only one who didn’t. Well, that’s what he gets for being a knucklehead. Now he was paying the price, indeed.

Adam was being the usual asshole. He thought he was so cool. Screwing up a kid's mind, that fucking sadist. It was an unforgivable act. When you're greedy for power and gain it, it does things to you. Take Adam for a whole ass example. But once that man started putting his hands on that boy, your blood started to boil. But once he went flying off his board, you were in a blaze.

You hopped onto your own board, defying whatever rules he chose to make up. You catch up to them, including the Langa boy, very quickly. Adam was standing there, feeling triumphant, not until he saw someone rolling down the hill. He winced a little before realizing who was coming down the hill. It was you. The original. His one and only 'eve'. His smile widened, thinking he was about to gain praise, but he was sadly mistaken. You pushed him off his board and onto the ground.

Baffled, he quickly stood up and dusted himself off before looking at your foxy mask. Just the aura you gave off told him how mad you were. Him?! Doing this to a child?! You always thought he was an odd one out but not crazy to the point of attempting literal murder. You hopped off your board and approached him once again, kicking him in the chest forcefully. It blew the air out of him and while he was gasping for air you spoke up.

"So that's what you do? I entrust 'S' to you while I'm away and you fuckin do this?! This what we doin' now? HUH?!" You smacked him in the head, hard, and started pushing him by his chest. He coughed, finally catching his breath. "But, I did this all for you! I thought this was how you'd like it." He confesses aloud, which makes your temper even worse. You were so close to snatching off your mask but you knew you couldn't.

You smack him again, and again and again. Pushing him over and over, more and more aggressive as you spoke. Reki pointed out the whole interaction to Langa, to which Langa stepped in on. You sent two jabs to his face, not super strong, but enough to pack a punch and confuse him. As your anger rose you got even more aggressive. Sadly, not for long.

Langa steps in, first stepping in between the two of you, before just holding you back because Adam wasn't moving at all. He struggled to hold you back, but Cherry quickly took his spot while Shadow picked Reki up off the ground, Taking him away. Langa followed, leaving you to Cherry. Cherry pulled you away to where Joe was, to which they both gave you a hug while trying to calm you down. Adam followed you, being chaotic in a bad way. Since he was utterly obsessed with you and your skating, he couldn't not follow you.

"Kaoru… Kojiro..." You mumble, looking between the two of them. They really have changed a lot. Of course, Adam doesn't know how to leave you alone, and starts problems again. You walked up on him again, pulled him down by his collar and made eye contact. "Listen here, Shindo," You mumble the last part quietly enough no one could understand what you said. "I don't want to see you hurt them ever again. If you do, I'll kill you." Joe separated the two of you while Cherry pulled you back by your waist.

"You're so cute when you're angry." He smiles, disgusting all three of you. Cherry and Joe step in front of you, blocking his way to nearing you. "Back off." They say in unison. Adam was amused, and wanted to tease a little more, but they didn't let him. They quickly ushered you off, talking to you in a private area. Joe took off your mask and held you face, looking you over as if you were his lover. "Are you alright? He didn't hurt you?" You'd answer but your face was literally getting squished between his big ass hands. Much to Adam's dismay, the show must go on, so the other races of the night continued.

After literal inspection and ten minutes of convincing Joe and Cherry to let you go, you pulled up to the hospital Reki was at. You heard the news, about his arm and the recovery. You apologized profusely which flustered them all. And then you introduced yourself. "Hello, I'm [Reader, Surname]. I'm the original founder of 'S'. I allowed Adam to basically co-host while I was gone but I didn't think it was this bad!" They dismissed it and asked about Cherry and Joe, looking for guidance. Seems like Langa has to race against the one and only now.

You offered to get them all together, to which they thanked you for. "Alright, I'll be going for tonight. You all get home easy and safe. Good night!" You all said, about to leave when you feel a tug on your sleeve. "Uh, when you get better, could you race me too!" For some reason this reminded you of getting confessed to. You chuckle softly and pat his head, then leave, not giving him a clear answer.

Once you reached your car, you started malding and seething. Fucking Adam, he's got guts, to say the least. You give him props for it, however. If he hurts one of them, you will make him pay. No matter what it costs you.

au: I got yo beach episode right here <3 @simpingforwakasa04

【𝒯𝒶𝑔𝓈】: @ofblckwriters

At first it was Kojiro.

When you first met him, you were in middle school, and he had saved you from some nasty kids who had cornered you in the hallway. They were pulling and messing with your hair, pointing out and comparing your obvious differences, and even called you all sorts of terrible things like an ugly duckling, a fish, and of course a monkey. 

But before a possible alteration could break out, Kojiro came in and saved you, threatening them with a beating if they continued harassing you. After that the green haired boy had you stick close to him. 

You shared quite a bit of classes with him, and he was pretty well liked, very bold and friendly and passionate. You also frequently saw him with another boy who had pink hair. They were… Well, you sometimes couldn’t tell. They fought like cats and dogs but also stuck together like glue. You being reversed and still new to your new surroundings, never really bothered to try and get acquainted with them. 

But anyways.  

After getting used to Kojiro’s open friendliness, you found that he understood you to an extent. He too is biracial, half Japanese and half Italian, and although he understood his experiences won't exactly compare to yours he understood, and that enough made you feel a little less alone. 

You inquired about his friend, Kaoru, and the green haired boy told you that his best friend slash enemy was at home sick.

You were wary about immediately trusting people, but Kojiro made it so hard for you. It was mostly because he was so nice and charming. And because he was pretty… 

Damn your heart amirite?

For the next two days you grew close fast, Kojiro already claiming you as his second best friend, and on that Monday you met his first best friend… And enemy…?

Kaoru Sakurayashiki.

You were intimidated for sure. That last name came from a rich background, and you were a bit wary of rich folk, so you were a bit standoffish with the pink haired boy, and it didn’t help that Kaoru was a bit rude towards you.

You noticed how clingy and possessive he was toward Kojiro, and his bluntness and fierce glare intimidated you. For a moment you felt like you wouldn’t be friends, but on that fateful day you two were assigned a project together.

Thankfully you actually got your work done, and you’re not sure how the hell it happened but you both talked eventually (after a bit of awful and awkward silence of course). 

You talked normally and found each other's company to be not so bad. You both enjoyed art and had your own forms you specifically enjoyed, yours being dance, writing, and occasionally trying a hand at music- mostly making lyrics- while Kaoru was into drawing and also writing. You both also enjoyed dabbling into philosophy, and both have anxiety. 

After opening up, Kaoru had formally apologized to you for his previous behavior and explained that he was just scared of Kojiro leaving him behind. 

“But that’s still not an excuse to be so mean to you. I will work on that behavior and make sure not do it again. I hope you will forgive me (Y/N). I really want us to be friends,” he apologies with a nervous look.

And you forgave him of course after seeing how genuine he truly was.

Kojiro was excited that you two were friendly and got along together (and good god your poor heart stuttered at his huge, bright grin), and then the three of you became a close knitted trio. 

You didn’t bother with your feelings, more focused on your family, friendship, and studies, and you wanted it to stay that way even when you realized you liked Kaoru the same way you like Kojiro. 

You actually got extremely confused about that because was it normal for someone to like two people at the same time?? Well, after reading Twilight and consuming other media you relaxed on it and continued consulting with your journal.

Then comes the time you upgraded to high schoolers… Bless your heart, both boys seemingly grew up overnight and were looking very handsome, and it stunned you. But that's not all that changed. 

Kojiro grew to be more of a flirt and Kaoru, well he was hardcore hitting a rebellious stage. Gone was his usual sophisticated look and in was the more edgy but very fashionable look he adopted eagerly. His piercings and suaveness made you flustered, and Kojiro’s flirts and growing muscles nearly stopped your heart. 

And their voices… 

But besides changes with them physically, they began to pick up skateboarding and grew a bit of an audience at school. Many times you’ve seen and heard them getting written or verbal love confessions or fan support. For Kojiro it stroked his growing ego, for Kaoru it was partially the same but he was also indifferent to them.

“A nice confidence booster, but I’m not interested.”

“That’s why you’re painfully single, Pinky~.”

“Are you saying you’re taken then??” Kaoru gripes, glaring at the green haired teen.

Kojiro just gives a playful shrug, staring pointedly at Kaoru with a grin threatening to split his face.

“Kaoru, with how big his head is getting and it not showing signs of deflating anytime soon, I’m sure he’ll remain bitchless,” you say matter of factly, a small smirk on your face.

Your comment pulls a loud laugh outta the pinkette and the green haired himbo was choking and sputtering nonsense.

Although you acted cool about it in the outside, you were scared of losing them. You really wanted to be with them, but ain’t no way you wanted to tell them about your feelings. You were scared they’d think you’re too freaky and leave, or worse that the confession will ruin your friendship and make things awkward between you. 

So you kept your mouth shut and continued to only fantasize throughout the years.

Adam, another rich boy who joined your group, found out about your crush on Kojiro and Kaoru, and you were mortified and wondered just how obvious you were being. All he told you was just that you’d zone out at times and he pieced together some things in your writing pieces you let him see. He’d sometimes tease you about it, but ultimately he promised to never tell a soul about your feelings, and you were grateful for it.

All was pretty much great, but it changed on that fateful day… 

~On Valentine’s Day.~

You were looking for Kaoru and Kojiro that chilly school morning, trying to give them their gifts- something you did yearly on February 14th so that being single wasn’t always painful. After searching the campus grounds and checking the group chat, you headed to the rooftop spot, a place you hung out often at for lunch or when you wanted to skip class. You found the door slightly ajar and when you pushed it a bit you were confronted with the sight of your two best friends who were in a startling intimate position. 

Kaoru was straddled in Kojiro’s lap, pale fingers tangled in short green hair while tan, sunkissed hands held Kaoru’s ass and his luscious pink hair as they swapped spit together. They were so caught up in each other they hadn’t noticed you at all, thankfully enough. You bolted once you broke out of your trance, not caring if the door slammed since you booked it the fuck outta there and knew they wouldn’t catch to see who had caught them. Your heart was beating like a damn racehorse in your ears and your eyes were burning like acid.

You hid in the bathroom, catching your breath and trying to make sense of what happened. Your best friends were definitely more than just friends… They looked so.. Intimate. But maybe it could have just been pure lust…?

Nah, your gut tells you it’s something more. Something romantic. 

You ended up crying into your hands, crying and laughing with disbelief, and felt terrible for crying. Of course you’re not disgusted by them being together.

No. You just selfishly wish you were involved too… Your heart is hurting but you’re also happy for them and hope that they’re happy.

It’s not long before the two are blowing up the group chat asking about where you were and talking about their morning, and you put on your brave face, washing your eyes until the redness is mostly gone before meeting your gang of friends at your other usual meeting spot.

And you sincerely hope they don’t see, feel, or even smell the sad bitch energy that radiated off from you.

“Hey, there you are!” Kojiro calls out cheerfully as he spots you coming over, ruby eyes sparkling.

Kaoru, who was checking on his lip piercing on his phone (you highly doubted that's what he was actually doing), perks up and gives you a collected smile while Adam gives you a simple smile and wave.

“And you got our gifts!” the green haired teen adds, his excitement growing.

“Yeah…,” you reply softly before handing over your gifts to the three. Kojiro got a heart shaped box of assorted chocolates, Kaoru got a small stuffed bear with two chocolate roses, and lastly Adam got a pretty decent sized heart shaped chocolate. You in turn were given expensive chocolates by Kaoru, a bag of hot lime flavored cheetos, along with a Cantu package and a new pretty bonnet from Kojiro, and your favorite flowers with more chocolates from Adam.

“Thanks so much, (Y/N),” Kaoru says sweetly, looking at the bear in his hands with fondness, and you give him a smile and nod.

“Now you got two,” Kojiro teases the pinkette, causing his eyes to briefly widen.

“Two?” Adam inquires lightly, tilting his head a bit while he tries opening the boxed up chocolate. 

You swallow the lump in your throat, already having an idea of what Kojiro means.

The green haired teen pulls the pinkette roughly into a side hug, grinning. “I got Pinkey over here a bear that was made to look like me! Now he can hug it and never feel alone or miss me!”

Adam laughs and you do your best to make yours believable while Kaoru has a blush on his cheeks, looking irritated. 

“Yes..  And I hate it.”

You know he’s lying. You’re sure that Kaoru absolutely loves it and will cherish it forever and ever. It’s so fucking romantic and cute, but fuck does it hurt at the same.

“Keep telling yourself that!” Kojiro replies before ruffling Kaoru's hair and pushing him away roughly, causing a playful fight to break out between them.

Boy was it going to be hard to keep yourself together, but you were going to be happy for the two and hope your feelings die down.

Cherry Blossom NSFW hcs

Notes: He's so fucking pretty and I think I'm going thru my sk8 phase again lol. I really miss this show tbh.

Pairing: Kaoru Sakurayashiki x Male! Reader

WARNINGS: Choking, Slapping, Spitting, Voyeurism/Exhibitionism, Marking, Breeding, Temperature play, Bondage.

Vanilla Sex:

He enjoys vanilla. It's not his favourite but can be at moments.

His moans are really soft during vanilla

He usually enjoys vanilla most when you do slow but deep thrusts

He tends to kiss you a lot. And not like giving you hickeys type kisses like the deep sensual I'm in love with you type of kiss.

He will suck on your tongue/ bottom lip or bite your lip when kissing.

He also enjoys having music play in the background.

He usually enjoys vanilla in the mornings. He really likes when you wake him up with kisses and it leads to sex.

You usually have vanilla sex after his business trips as I missed you/I love you type of thing.

He usually doesn't give as many hickey's and marks period during vanilla

Eye contact is really important for him during vanilla. So you guys are usually in missionary and if not missionary then you're in a spooning kind of position. (I forgot what that position is called sorry.)

Build up:

It's usually when you've been away from each other for a few days or weeks that you both end up doing vanilla.

Or if he had a particularly tiring day at work.

Or when he gets jealous of you and another person. He'll usually lean more towards soft sex because it's when he has the most control and can feel like you won't leave

He also thrives most in a vanilla setting when you're being gentle and he can truly put on a show for you.

Morning sex is usually the most likely the reason you two would ever have vanilla sex

Kinky Sex:

He likes to be treated like a ragdoll to keep it a bit simple. But only to a certain extent.

He loves choking so much. Especially when he's being a bitch in front of your friends and you yolk him up and threaten to fuck him into the mattress.

He really enjoys slapping. Not like his face but like his thighs and ass. He really loves the deep red marks that are left on his body.

Spitting is one of those things that's either a hit or a miss. And for him, it was a really big fucking hit. You originally started doing it because you wanted to try new things. And the way that you were fucking into him so roughly while choking him and you just spit on him like he was nothing. He came right after you did it.

He loves leaving marks on your body. It's one of those things that eggs him on for hours during sex. He loves being on top of you while you force him up and down on your cock and just littering your neck, chest, and jaw in hickeys. He loves the way you look at your back after he just got finished dragging his nails down your back.

He loves putting on a show for you and other people if you let him. He likes the way you eye fuck him as he lays on the bed jerking himself off while you control the vibrator in his ass. Or when you invite your friends over and fuck him while they watch desperately staring at while stroking cocks pretending it was him instead of their hands.

Public sex is one of his favourite kinds of sex. Especially office sex. Something about you sucking him off in his office while he's talking to someone and having to hold back moans and whimpers just sets him off.

He's a whore for breeding. He loves bagging for you to cum in him and make him pregnant. Even though he knows he cannot get pregnant he doesn't care he just want you to fill him to the brim. He especially loves it when you keep it inside him with a butt plug.

Temperature play is something that will make him instantly weak to his knees. The feeling of you setting ice cubes on his stomach and nipples. Having an ice cube in your mouth while giving him head.

He doesn't like rope or cuffs but he loves silk ribbon. Something about red silk ribbon makes him loose his shit.

Build up:

He's usually being a little bitch. Flirting with your friends reminding of the last time they watched you fuck him and how you let them jerking him off or play with his nipples to make his orgasm hit even harder

Because he doesn't touch himself while on business trips the tension will build up, and by the time he's back home he's a hot and eager mess. Literally begs you to fuck him which make it so much more satisfying when you decide to edge him.

If either of you had a shitty or stressful day at work it usually leads to angry sex.

When you both get into arguments Kaoru likes to add fuel to the fire by teasing you and wearing your favourite clothing items of his. Or just pushing his ass up against you when he walks by.

He's usually the one to ask for rough/kinky sex. He likes how small you make him feel and constantly craves that feeling.

Aftercare:

You two usually sit in the bed for like 5ish minutes before you decide to do anything.

Then you'll get up and grab a rag to wipe majority of the cum and sweat off him.

Then you'll go make a bath for him because most times his legs hurt.

You usually put him in the bath and change the sheets then you get in the bath with him.

But the days where you don't need to change the sheets you just get right in the bath with him. You'll wash his hair while he weakly washes his body and wash the parts that he can't.

Kaoru x anxious! s/o

I wanted to post my first Sk8 piece! It's our beautiful Cherry, because I love him.

Cherry x Gn! Reader

-Before we start, I think it is important to establish that Cherry is confirmed to have anxiety, so he is more expierienced than most when it comes to coping with it.

-Carla plays him lullabies, so if that will help you sleep more comfortably than he will definately make that happen.

-If you are in the midst of a panic attack or sensory overload, Kaoru will try and ground you again. He's asking you questions about what you need, and what you want him to do. He is already moving you to a more secluded place.

-If you can't stand while having an episode, he will carry you for as long as you need. He might not be as strong as Joe, but he's up there.

-If you are at the verge of a panic attack however, it's rare Cherry doesn't notice. He will be discrete about it, since he knows how horrible it can feel to be the center of attention in that state. He makes sure that you are looking at him, and if it helps you can initiate as much physical contact as you need. If that's not what you need, he will respect your space.

-In daily life, Kaoru is attentive to your needs. He wants to make sure that he can support you can way that he can.

-You need something to fidget with? He probably keeps a stash for the both of you in his office. Calming music? "Carla, put on my stress relief playlist" A hand to hold? He's already locked your fingers together.

-You would be just at attentive to him. And both of you are around eachother so much, both at S and in daily life. So when one of you feels stressed, the other can start feeling it two and know something's up. Joe calls it your spidey sence- (Cherry whacked him for that one)

-If you feel agrivated after a hard day or from dealing with difficult people, you can Cherry have activities to do both together and separate. If you like to skate, or if you want to watch him, he is down to bring you to S. Want to just watch a movie and cuddle? He's just as down for that!

-I think Kaoru would have a bit of a sweet tooth, but for more gentle flavours, if that makes sense?

-Things like sweet pastries, mochi, marshmellows, ice cream. Stuff gentle on the tastebuds but comforting at the same time. He stress eats sometimes, but not often.

-Usually you guys enjoy them together. Either during movies, late night snacks, or just whenever you guys feel like sharing a relaxing moment.

-He does offer to teach you some traditional calligraphy, since he finds it calms his mind. And guess what? It helps! With such a skilled person as Cherry acting as your teacher, you catch on pretty fast. So I could see you both sharing a treat and casually painting some characters down onto the rice paper.

-Cherry loves cuddles, I don't make the rules. He will be down to cuddle if you feel tired or stressed, and is usually the one to offer. If you refuse, that's fine! He just wants to you to know he will be available whenever you need him. No matter what.

Hi! May I please request random bf headcanons for cherry? Ty!

➯A/N: Hi!! Thanks for the request! Hope you enjoy, and have a lovely day!

➯ Random boyfriend headcannons

➯ Characters: Kaoru Sakurayashiki x gn! reader

➯ Warnings: none:)

If yall met when you were still in high school, he would’ve tried to convince you at least once to let him pierce you or give you a tattoo.

That’s how you would’ve gotten together initially too. His face inches from yours, sticking his tongue out in concentration as he pulls the needle through your lip. Adjusting a piece of jewellery on your lip to match his, he’d gently wipe a stray drop of blood away from your lips with his thumb

You found you couldn’t pull away as you stared into his eyes, slowly closing them as he pulled you in for a gentle kiss. It was quick, but as soon as you pulled away he was pulling you back in for another, and another. The light throbbing in your lip was the least of your worries

He would’ve been so protective of you when he’d go with Adam and Joe to those underground skate meet-ups. Of course, he’s only gotten worse, now he refuses to leave your side at S for fear of some creep trying to hit on you

You have the most unnecessary beef with Carla. You know its a joke of course, but since Carla is, well, a robot, she’s not too knowledgeable about teasing. You’d ask her a load of random, strange questions she couldn’t possibly answer, or you’ll tell her how Kaoru is all yours and she’ll start overheating. Now any time you try to ask her a question she literally just. refuses to answer you

“Master, please tell y/n I dont want to speak to them.” “Oh I’ll show you master-”

Kaoru is indifferent to PDA. He doesn’t hate it, he just doesn’t think others deserve to see you like that. Hell give you the occasional forehead kiss, but even so his arm is constantly glued to you in some way

Behind closed doors though, he cant seem to get enough of you. He loves having you in his lap, his head on your shoulder while you watch TV. If you play with his hair he’s like putty in your hands, leaning into your touch with closed eyes and almost a purr. Loves when you drag your fingertips along his arms and his back, its a comfort to him

You and him will constantly gang up on Joe and absolutely violate the man. It’s already bad with just Kaoru, now imagine the poor guy having to deal with both of you

You’ll hide in the crowd during his exhibitions, occasionally shouting out praise trying to throw him off.

Or worse, you’ll just silently stand there, watching him look around suspiciously, knowing you’re hiding somewhere even if you hadn’t explicitly specified you’d be there. When he finally locks eyes with you, he has to try extremely hard not to laugh as he watches you stare him down, a small grin creeping over your face

You’ll go on dates to Joe’s restaurant just to annoy the shit out of him. You’ll act extra lovey-dovey just to make him uncomfortable, and the pair of you will fake a proposal at least once a month to get free cake(its always one of those shitty plastic rings you get from the dollar store too)

You dyed your hair pink to match with him once, and he absolutely loved it. The two of you would style your hair and clothes to match, and you were quite the sight to see at S

Slow dancing in the kitchen while you make dinner is a regular thing for the two of you. You’ll be idly stirring the pot when one of your songs come on, and suddenly Kaoru is pulling you away from the stove, twirling you around the kitchen and humming in your ear. More often than not you’ll get carried away and burn the dinner.

Who cares, takeout tastes good too

He’s awful at tying his hair up properly, and gets you to tie it for him before an exhibition or a race

You’ve curled his hair before while he slept, and he was insanely fascinated by it. He spent at least an hour shaking his head in front of the mirror, raking is hands through the wavy locks. He kept it curled when you tied it up before S, and it was a big hit during his race. Suddenly he was asking you to curl his hair more often

During the colder months, you and Kaoru will sleep impossibly close, a mess of tangled limbs while Carla quietly plays lullabies in the background. In the warmer months though, you couldn’t be further apart. Lying above the covers in minimal clothing, you’ll both hang off either side of the bed, hissing at each other to not come closer to them while you sweat like pigs. Hey, sometimes romance is keeping your distance

It’s a regular thing for the two of you to get wine drunk and whip out some old board games, yelling at each other when you get put in jail in Monopoly, flipping the Scrabble board when Kaoru insists that “milf” is not a word you’re allowed to use

“ITS AN ACRONYM” “YOURE AN ACRONYM” “WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN”

Reki and Langa love you. Miya took a bit of warming up to you, but as soon as he saw you bullying Joe with Cherry he adored you

If you can skate, you would constantly race against Kaoru just to see if you could beat him. However, with his fancy ass board that already hated you and his insane skills, losses were much more common than wins

He can never get any work done with you around him. You’ll lie your head in his lap while he tries to write, drawing smiley faces in the corners of his paper. He literally has to carry you out of the room just so he can get a bit of peace

Loves conspiracy theories. He’ll shake you awake at four in the morning, rambling about the new video he just watched about McDonald’s actually being run by a cult of clowns

*episode 9 spoilers* after Ad*m gave him a slap of his skateboard, you’d help him wash his hair in the shower, wrapping plastic bags around his casts and making jokes

*washing his back* “don’t make it gay Kaoru” “I DIDNT EVEN SAY ANYTHING”

[thebeautyoffanfics]

Hey!! If ur comfortable with this could u maybe do cherry blossom and joe for sk8 with a s/o that has adhd and is often forgetful

kaoru sakurayashiki x gn!reader, kojiro nanjo x gn!reader

a/n: sure thing!! I don’t think I’ve written for either of them yet, so I do hope it turns out alright-! Thank you so much for requesting!!

The way just listening to the Sk8 into and outro gets me prepared to write for it aaaaaah, it’s so good,,,, those are 2 songs that never fail to make me happy;;;

Benekejdjd I also just realized I call Cherry by his real name, yet call Joe his S name,,,, oh well KSNEKDNDJ sorry for my inconsistency 😭✌️

warnings: none <3

word count: 916

Cherry Blossom/Kaoru Sakurayashiki <3

Honestly? Kaoru is wonderful to be in a relationship with when struggling with forgetfulness.

He’s naturally pretty good at remembering things, but he’s also an avid fan of AI- so, you have both Kaoru and Carla to remind you! Just tell him something important, or something small you feel like you should remember, and he’ll be telling Carla to remember it as well. Human minds are flawed, but Carla surely won’t forget!!

Now, if you forget before telling him/thinking to tell him, he’ll be as calm and understanding as ever.

He isn’t exactly sure how to jog your memory sometimes, but he will do the whole “retrace your steps” thing. Tells you to go back to the other room and enter this one again- try to figure out what you were thinking about beforehand. Maybe being back in the other room will help…?

Or, if it’s during a conversation, and you forget what you were about to say- just tell him you forgot, and he’s calmly listing off things about the conversation. Keywords, almost? Facts about a story one of you just told, words that stick out, etc.

As frustrating as forgetting can be, Kaoru has patience to make up for it. He doesn’t mind doing his best to help you, you’re his s/o after all. If he’s patient and loving (in his own way) towards the kids’ antics, he’s going to be just the same towards you.

If you express your frustration, he isn’t quite sure what exactly to do. He can handle practical things- reminding you, helping you with tasks, but emotions are a bit different.

Despite that, he will try to help. Not out of obligation, but because he genuinely cares, and genuinely wants you to know it’s all right.

“Ah… there, there, (Y/N). It’s completely understandable to be upset, but it’s alright to be forgetful. That’s what I’m for, isn’t it? Why else would you have a boyfriend such as myself, with an assistant such as Carla? If it’s something you can’t remember, it will either come back to you because it’s something you should remember- and, if it doesn’t, I’m sure it wasn’t too important in the first place.”

Doesn’t exactly know how to deal with crying either, so if you do get frustrated to a point of tears, he’ll kind of… pinch your face? Not harshly, but enough to get you to focus on him instead. Once he has your attention, he’ll give his little spiel.

Of course, he isn’t heartless- he’ll comfort you however you need him to. Hugs, kisses, etc <3

“(Y/N), wouldn’t a kiss be more likely to distract you from what you want to remember?”

“It’ll distract me ‘cos I’m upset that I can’t remember..”

“Don’t pout- I’m not denying your request, just questioning your methods a bit.”

Joe/Kojiro Nanjo <3

Joe may not be as effective as Kaoru, but he does try as hard-!!

He may be charismatic and confident, but he’s still a loving boyfriend. He wants to help you in any way he can, and if memory is the way he should help, then he’s on it!!

He has to have decent memory, he works at a restaurant after all? He’s bound to be able to remember orders and recipes, so things that you need him to remember isn’t normally a problem!

Just to be safe, he keeps sticky notes around! On counters, he even has a few set in the kitchen- just in case you walk in, telling him to please remind you of a certain date or something you need to do! He’s pausing whatever he’s doing, if it can be paused, and writing it down, giving you a sweet “got it, baby!”

When he’s not able to see you in person, he doesn’t mind you sending him texts! He’ll write it down just the same, set a reminder in his phone- or, if it’s important enough, or he’s worried he’ll actually forget as well, he’ll (ask?) tell Kaoru to set a reminder on his little machine assistant.

(“She has a name, you idiot gorilla. I’ll do it for (Y/N)’s sake, of course, because they actually remember Carla.”

“Ah, I remember. I just don’t care-“

“You’re on thin freaking ice.”)

If you walk up to him, opening your mouth to say something, then shutting it- your eyebrows furrowing to try and get yourself to remember- he’ll also be very patient. (He’ll also find your expression strangely cute, as if everything about you isn’t.)

“What were you doing before you came in here? Watching anything, searching for something?”

He’s not as great at jogging your memory as Kaoru is, but he certainly won’t give up. Heck, he’ll walk around the entire house with you, or go to the room you were just in. Pointing at things, trying to list anything that may be a keyword- any way he can try and help!!

Now, if you get frustrated because of your forgetfulness, he can handle it a bit better than Kaoru.

If you start to cry, or even if you just need a hug, he’s hugging you, patting your head carefully. Buff gorilla though he is, he’s a loving buff gorilla who definitely gives good hugs (and kisses)!

“Don’t cry, (Y/N), it’s alright. I know you’re frustrated, but I’m sure it’ll come to you eventually. You don’t need to be upset with yourself just because you forgot. It’s not like you chose to forget, so don’t get too worked up… it’ll all be okay, I promise <3.”

new beginnings

pairing: Kaoru Sakurayashiki x f!reader

wc: 2k

warnings: angst (not really idk); fluff; exes to lovers; not proofread

notes: first post!! I saw that there weren’t really a lot of writings for Kaoru and decided to take it upon myself to write some!! I hope you enjoy, and please do tell me if there’s a mistake anywhere or if I there’s a warning I should add

“Are you ever going to skate again?”

Kojiro grins at you, handing you your food. You were on your break from work and decided to visit your old friend from high school.

“Kojiro you know why I can’t”

“It’s been a year I’m sure everyone wants to see you skating again!” You can’t blame him for his enthusiasm, it had almost been a year after you decided to quit skating due to breaking up with Kaoru. Before you quit you were known in ‘S’ as one of the top contenders, good enough to go against Adam, you had never gone on a beef against him since you had no interest to compete against someone like him.

“C’mon (Y/N)! You know everyone wants to see the infamous RIN again! After your sudden disappearance last year your fans have been missing you, there's even a new guy you can compete against!” You leaned in to cover his mouth, you didn’t want anyone knowing the name you were under while skating in S.

“Fine! I’ll visit but I’m not competing, I just want to see the poor soul that caught Adam’s eye.”

Kojiro smiled, knowing you, you’d probably compete either way, he knew that you’d been missing skating in S after he found you practicing. Your break up with Kaoru had changed their dynamic as you wanted nothing to do with him while he regretted letting you go.

The break up was because Kaoru kept insisting to go against Adam, you knew it was a bad idea, you had tried convincing him many times that the Adam he once knew was gone. Kaoru didn't like it as Adam was very dear to him, he had snapped at you and told you that you didn’t know him and that he’d rather break up with you than listening to your nonsense. You pitied the man, you’d heard what Adam had done to him a few days prior and wanted nothing more than to slap the man for hurting Kaoru.

“You won’t regret it! I’ll see you then RIN”

You hit him again, wanting to keep your professional life and personal life separate, “Say that name again out loud and I’m not going”.

Kojiro watched as you left the restaurant, sakura keychain still in dangling out of your bag like it had been so many years ago.

“You guys really are similar in that aspect”

Once you get home you sigh, your job has been taking a toll on you and you really needed a break. You look into your closet and see your skateboard, the only reason why you quit skating is because it reminded you of him, he was the one to teach you how to skate after all. The same man who decided to leave you to chase after the memory of the friend he once knew.

Making up your mind you change into your outfit and head down the same familiar path leading to the mine.

“Yo (Y/N)! Long time no see”

“You asshole! you call me by my name here and call me by my S name in public! Do you have a death wish?” You get closer to Kojiro to give him a piece of your mind, until you see four guys next to him: two boys who look like they’re in high school, an intimidating guy with clown-looking make-up, and a little boy who you think you’ve seen on TV.

“IS THAT RIN?!?” the redhead boy yelled, it caused everyone to turn to you, you were now the center of attention, mutters about the sudden appearance of one of the most known skaters in S.

“Who’s she?”

Compared to the redhead, the blue haired guy seemed like he was new, you assumed he was the rookie that Kojiro had mentioned earlier in the day.

“She’s a really well-known skater in S! she’s beaten a lot of people here, it’s said that she’s on par with Adam, but they’ve never gone against each other!”

“damn right and never will, I like not having broken bones thank you” you muttered, as everyone calmed down, they introduced themselves and seemed intrigued to see an old face.

“I came to see the new rookie everyone’s been talking about, I’m only here to watch though” everyone’s faces dropped, they seemed disappointed to not be able to see you skate.

“Then why’d you bring your skateboard hm?” Kojiro smirks at you, knowing that you’d come here to skate a little, even if it was just for fun.

“Fine, how about this? SNOW” you pointed at Langa and motioned him to follow you, “you’re coming with me, I wanna see why everyone is talking about you” you take Langa along and decide to skate against him in the course.

“Sorry I’m late, I forgot to charge Carla earlier today so she finished charging a little later than usual” Kaoru stood next to Kojiro to see why everyone seemed more excited. “Right on time Cherry! Look who’s skating today”.

Kaoru looked at the screen, it was you, he hadn’t seen you in a year and you never bothered to answer the messages he had sent you, not that he blamed you for that. You looked just as beautiful as he remembered, if not more, the way your hair flowed freely made you look ethereal, and your face seemed to glow while you were skating, an expression he had missed seeing from you.

He wanted to apologize, after the incident with Adam that landed him in the hospital he realized that his friend was gone, no semblance of him left. While in his hospital bed he remembered the words you had told him before he broke up with you. He knew he had no right to apologize now, but seeing you at S made him realize he missed you and wanted you back, if you’d have him of course.

Langa was surprised, your style of skating was different from anything he’d seen before, it looked complicated but you didn’t seem to be struggling at all. Due to him being distracted he hadn’t realized that you’d already crossed the finish line before him.

“That was good! You knew how to snowboard before learning how to skate right?” You asked excitedly, it had been a while since you’ve had this much freedom while skating. “Yes, how’d you know?”

“I’ve always wanted to learn how to snowboard! Your stance seemed similar to those in videos I’ve seen online!”

As you walk back to the rest of the group you see him. Kaoru’s hair got a bit longer but apart from that nothing seemed too different, he still had that unapproachable aura around him. He seemed to be staring at you but you refused to look at him in the eye, you still missed him after all.

“Long time no see (Y/N)” He tried reaching out to you but you didn’t move at all, “Don’t call me that here.”

“Right, sorry Rin”

It seemed that everyone around you was aware of the tense atmosphere, although nobody really knew of what relationship you and Cherry held.

As everyone headed home, you decided to stay back and skate a little, you didn’t know when the next time you were going to be able to skate again after all. That’s when you notice it, just a little behind you were Joe and Cherry trying to catch up to you. “Rin! I thought you weren’t skating anymore?” You didn’t need to turn to see that there was a smile on his face.

“Don’t you have any fangirls to be with?” You retort, speeding a bit to gain distance from them.

“They all went home, why? You jealous?”

“As if.”

“Cherry over here wants to talk to you.”

In all honesty, you’d forgot he was even there at all, if it weren’t for Carla telling him the angles once in a while, you wouldn’t even have noticed him. You were pondering whether you should listen to what he had to say, “He’s been all gloomy ever since he saw you”. You heard someone fall, assuming it was Kojiro you kept going, he deserved it anyway.

You and Kaoru skated in silence for a bit, the only sounds heard were the wheels of both of your skateboards. As you were the first to pass the finish line you stop, getting off of your skateboard and getting ready to go back home.

“So what’d you want to talk about?”

Kojiro looks surprised, he thought you hadn’t noticed him staring at you. Frankly, he wanted to apologize and ask for a second chance, he knew he was undeserving of it though, you only wanted the best for him, but he pushed you away.

“I wanted to apologize for before, I know you meant well, but I only pushed you away when you tried helping me. I should’ve listened to what you said.”

Although it was a bit short and awkward, you knew he meant it. To be honest, you don’t blame him, he only wanted to know what had happened to his friend after he disappeared and came back with a whole different personality. You would’ve done the same if a friend whom you considered family did the same. You knew that even though he had finally come to terms with the fact that the Adam he knew in high school was gone, he was still hurting. You understood all of this, yet it was still hard to forget how angry he’d gotten at you, how he went on and on about how you didn’t know Adam at all (even though you’d been there when all four of you skated together in high school), and how he couldn’t be with someone who talked ill about his best friend. You remember how he broke up with you through a phone call after being late for a date, how you had to show up in your friend’s front door with all of your stuff, in fear of going to Kojiro’s restaurant because he was probably there.

“You didn’t need to wait a year to apologize to me” He flinched, knowing full-well what you were speaking of. He knew he had messed up the moment he ended the call, but his pride didn’t let him go back to your shared apartment to apologize to you, and he assumed that you were probably packing your bags as he headed to Kojiro’s place to drink.

“I didn’t know what to do after I went back to the apartment with your stuff gone”

“Well, I can’t just stay in my ex-boyfriend’s apartment after he just broke up with me can I?”

There was a silent pause, you were basically ready to head back home, but decided to wait to see if he had more to say. “Alright, if you’re done I’ll be heading home now.”

He quickly grabbed your wrist, stopping you from leaving, “it’s late, let me take you home”.

You declined, Kojiro had already promised you to take you back home. At the mention of his name he looked confused.

“Kojiro left a long time ago though?”

You were surprised, looking around for the tall muscle-headed idiot, but Kaoru was right, he left you behind. You were really going to kill him this time, it was probably part of his plan so you could talk things out with Kaoru.

“If it’s not too much trouble, I’d be grateful if you did then” you offered him a small smile, you had to be nice to the person driving you back to your apartment.

The ride home was silent, all he could hear were Carla’s directions to your apartment. As you got home and thanked him for the ride he stopped you again.

“Can I have another chance?” You stayed silent, he took your silence as a rejection and started his engine to leave, but this time, you were the one to stop him.

“You still owe me a meal at Kojiro’s” He blinked, confused as to what you were saying. Then he remembered, he had made you a promise that every time you beat him in S he’d buy you your favorite dish at Kojiro’s restaurant.

He smiled, frown no longer on his face after the promise of a new beginning, “Of course, tell me when you’re free to get it”.

please do post the second version

A not secret with Kaoru Sakurayashiki (Version 2)

Author note: Here it is, the second version. It's a bit shorter than the first one, but please do enjoy it.

Warning: None, Sweet moments, One mention of Adam

Word count: 477

Song Inspiration: None really, think I was listening to Merry-go-round of life from Howl´s moving castle.

Imagine this

You, Kojiro and Kaoru, grew up together and went to the same high school. You and Kaoru have been dating ever seens then, but Kojiro didn't know that for a while. Adam knew and he didn't even go to the same school as you. But that was only because he caught you guys during one of your sweet moments between skating.

But Kojiro didn't know, in fact, this guy flirted with you so much that everyone thought you and Kojiro were a thing. That is how much this guy flirted with you. But one day Kojiro got the surprise of his lifetime. You and Kaoru had step away for a moment and of course, after a while Kojiro got bored, so he decided to go find you guys. Specifically you.

He walks to the roof because that's your place, place of peace. The place you go to get away from everything and lately it had become the same for Kaoru and Kojiro. You guy would sit there together and just enjoy your time. Talk about everything between heaven and earth. Kojiro would try to show off to you by skating around, but most of the time it would end up with him hurting himself, Kaoru laughing at him and you half amused and half concern for him.

But this day was different. When Kojiro opens the door to the roof, he isn't met with the sight of you and Kaoru sitting on the ground in quiet. He is met with a different sight. The sakura trees were in full bloom and sakura leaves were flying elegantly around in the breeze that blew softly. And in the middle of this stood you and Kaoru. Locked in a sweet kiss. Kaoru had one of his hands on your hip and the other pressed to your face softly. It looked like one of those scenes you could only dream of. Kojiro shocked, closes the door quietly and walks away. He's shocked, as in "I never imagined them together or that they would make a good fit" shocked, but at the same time, he's berating himself.

How didn't he see it? Was he that blind? And he was carelessly flirting with you? How hadn't Kaoru kicked his ass yet?

With the scene from the roof still stuck in his head, he walked back to the classroom and when you and Kaoru got back, he acted as if he knew nothing. But one thing changed. He stopped flirting with you so casually. I mean he still flirted with you here and there, but there was a line he never crossed again. Because he was happy for you. He and Kaoru might fight and argue most of the time, but he really wanted the best for both of you.

He cared for you, very much.

But as his greatest best friend.
