#letting those three guys cuddle each other

[im-so-tired-sorry]

MY headcanons of Yuzuya’s Kiribaku fantasy series

a/n at the end

(spoilers ahead):

-i think some small little disadvantages don’t exist in their world. like, for the sake of convenience, i don’t think periods are experienced for those with uteruses. not in like an unhealthy way. they just… don’t happen. (i understand biologically they’re important but this is a magical fantasy land and i don’t wanna spend each month traveling with the two panicking about when my cycle will start)

-to add, your glasses don’t fall of your face or break, like, ever. and there are brewers that sell potions to gain 20/20 vision if you are born without perfect sight. most are temporary effects that have different levels depending how long you want it to last. however, during the potion effect, there is a temporary burning sensation in your eyes that is included in the changing process; the higher the dosage, the more pain is inflicted.

-bakugo mentioned in the most recent episode (ep. 18) that his people have this ritual? tradition? of giving someone who wronged you a cut as their form of an apology, so that it can naturally heal and metaphorically heal the bond. i think that when traveler got kidnapped by hawks and he realized his mistake, bakugo let kirishima cut him. kirishima, though very upset, gave him a small and thin cut (cause there was a guilt about hurting his prince) on his chest. not at the hand for shooing traveler away, or at his lip for speaking of breaking his promise to get them to the alter, but at his heart for creating such judgements and decisions.

-traveler will occasionally have nightmares, and if it’s not about ghoul spiders, it’s about falling into the ocean and drowning down to a siren’s incantation.

-bakugo is a light sleeper but imagine, while sailing across the sea, the gem spoke to bakugo in his sleep, and that’s why he woke up to catch traveler before they fell into the water. he thinks it was intuition but plays it off as “your loud ass footsteps.”

-more of a prediction: the unicorn ring will be used to save kirishima and/or bakugo’s life.

-again more of a prediction than headcanon: it’s been teased since them leaving edolyn (and their talk with the unicorn) that traveler has some type of healing magic. but it’ll only be revealed when one of the guys needs it most.

-it has been on more than one occasion (especially now that it’s getting colder) where bakugo will be first to wake up and notice the three of them had been cuddling together.

-whenever they’re settling in for the night, they’ll play a game where traveler will shoot an arrow to the sky and kirishima will fly to try and catch it, almost like a dog catching a ball.

-only when kirishima is really excited is when the end of his tail wags a bit.

-traveler tries really hard to avoid eye contact when they’re bathing together.

-bakugo had a nightmare once a couple days after traveler was kidnapped. it was their argument right after the events of havenfall, but instead of yelling that their journey was off, he just aims an arrow at travelers heart. he jolts awake right before he can release it. for the next week he prayed to the gods every night, hoping that they were at least alive.

-when they reunited and told the prince and dragon about their experience with hawks and that they were sentenced to be executed by the king of edolyn, bakugo prayed a silent thank you to the gods for protecting them.

-traveler feels the most homesick when they are by themselves/alone while the other two are taking care of other things.

-if they don’t knock out immediately, the three will stay up for a bit talking and kirishima will play with the pendant of the necklace he bought for traveler. now, he does it with his own. it’s his dragon instinct to handle anything sparkly.

-due to kirishima’s constant zoomies, he keeps a copper coin in his pocket to fidget with when traveling on foot.

-kirishima will gladly take leftovers but only if he’s made sure that they’ve eaten enough.

A/n: i understand if someone of these are seen “out of character” but these are just headcanons. and sorry for all the colored text. also i would love to know if yall think of traveler as an oc or as yourself! for the sake of keeping these hcs pretty general, i used traveler with they/them pronouns as they are used within the series.

Flufftober 2024 - Day 6: Cuddles

The first time Ice really thinks everything will be okay again is on the transport plane back to Miramar after the Layton mission. He's won the Top Gun trophy. Maverick is flying again. He's friends with him now, or so it seems. Ice doesn't know exactly but it feels like it. Wingmen.

Maverick, Mav is sitting on his right side, Slider on his left, both of them napping, both of them slightly twisted towards him, as far as that's possible with the seat belts, their knees bumping against his each time there's a slight rumble. Their heads are dangerously close to falling down on each of Ice's shoulders, too. He wouldn't mind though, not at all. 

Across from him, Hollywood is grinning at him. He's in a similar position, Wolfman sleeping on his shoulder. They are an open secret. Nobody talks about them. History will simply say they were close friends but yet, here they are, definitely more than friends. It'd be a lie to say Ice hasn't thought about both Slider and Mav in a similar way. Ice smiles back at Wood. 

Almost demonstratively, Wood wraps his arm around Wolfman, then points with his eyes first at Slider, then at Mav, then back at Ice. 

Ice understands and wants to put his arms around both of them, hold them close, cuddle them. And actually why not? If Wood and Wolf can do it, why not them, too? Ice shuffles a bit and manages to wriggle each of his arms around their backs, hands resting on their hips. Wood nods, smiling knowingly. Then he rests his head on Wolf’s and closes his eyes. 

Simultaneously, Mav's arm wraps around Ice's belly and his head drops against his arm. As if he'd only waited for it, Slider's arm follows suit, resting on top of Mav's, while his head falls on Ice's shoulder. A warm tingly feeling arises in Ice's belly. 

Cargo plane seats are uncomfortable as hell but here and now, being cuddled by these two menaces of men, he wouldn't change it for anything in the world.
