#love that he is running w a slice of cake hehe

[kuroosweakness]

liaaa~ how are you!! i saw that you were missing kuroo :,( not on my watch >:( more headcanons for you bc i think about kuroo way too much for my own good 🤍

going grocery shopping w kuroo is so fun! you guys make a lil trip out of it, not bothering to plan what you need in advance. he’d be putting random snacks in the cart just bc the box looks cool (“angel, LOOK. the box says that these cookies have extra-extra chunks. how can we not buy them???”)

when you’re reaching for something on a high shelf at the store, he’d come up behind you, grab it, and gently tap the thing you were reaching for on your head with a little “oops sorry! didn’t see ya there,” laughing to himself as your eyebrows furrow adorably w frustration >:((

pls i feel like he’d love going on little weekend trips in the summertime when the weather is nice. taking a break from his work life every weekend to go to a small beach or visit a new town and try a buncha cool street food and desserts!

he seems like he’d love going to the beach to dip his feet in the water <3 grabbing you along w him, splashing you w water, apologizing profusely for getting your hair all wet, and writing ‘tetsu + y/n’ in the sand just for it to wash away the second he finishes LMAODN

cooking w you is definitely one of his favorite activities. he’d play your combined playlist and joke around w you as you attempt to make dinner <3 even though he’s busy cooking, he still can’t stop himself from subtle touches: putting his hand on your back as he passes you in the kitchen, rolling your sleeves up as you cut ingredients, pushing your hair off your face gently as you cook w your face above the pan.

if he’s doing most of the cooking, he’d want you to sit on the counter and just talk to him about anything. your voice is like music to his ears!! he’d lowkey get distracted by hearing drama and gossip from your work and end up burning the food :// you’d have to order food and continue telling him about the drama, pretending like he didn’t almost burn the kitchen down

he LOVES celebrating you and all of your achievements!!! for any achievement, big or small, he’d write you a little note saying “congrats sweetheart! i’m proud of you!!” or get you a slice of cake from your favorite bakery on his way back from work <3 he wants you to know how proud he is of you and never wants you to undermine your hard work and achievements (pls i lov him)

he’d wanna match w you for work related events that require getting all dressed up :,) he’d match his tie with your dress — if you wore silver jewelry, he’d wear a silver watch. you two always show up looking incredible, all eyes on you two the whole time!! (he loves the attention too omg)

smh there’s not enough kuroo content out there :,( for a while, i thought about starting a writing blog for hq bc i love love love thinking of hcs for all the characters, but sharing them w you is just so much more fun and special hehe~ that, and i’m so busy all the time ugahdjd anyway, i hope you liked these! 🌟 muah!! sending warm hugs

much love, 🧸 anon

I LOVE YOU AND YOUR HEADCANONS SO MUCH :'

so so so much >:((

hii! i'm doing quite well! :) not feeling very productive, but overall, pretty okay! ahahaha kuroo is on my mind way too often :'

yes! grocery shopping with him would be so fun hehe, and you'll have to pretend not notice when he sneaks stuff in the cart. ahahaha you'll both leave the store with a ton more stuff than originally planned~

aaaaaaah PLS he would take fULL advantage of the height difference between you two. he's always been glad of his tall height as a volleyball player, but now he gets to tease you too? win-win :))

aww summer weekend trips >< they'll be so so fun. maybe stay over night too and he'll get you all to himself

omg YES running along the beach, trying to run as fast as you can on the damp sand to avoid him catching up to you.

playing "tag" with him :'

digging your feet into the sand and pretending you stuck. of course he comes with his shining armor and all, ready to save you ahahha

AWW him writing in the sand :' so so cute he probably struggled with writing it too, and the ocean swept it away just like that! he definitely groaned and trudged along the beach after that

djklfjladjf i would love to cook with him :'DDD “rolling up your sleeves” IT’S THE SMALL DETAILS THAT MATTER <33 

jlakdjf he’d be such a good listener..a little too good ahha, as represented by the burnt food. kuroo would love to hear the side of your life that he doesn’t get to experience in real life !!

AWWW :’ as someone whose love language is words of affirmation, you’ve really got me squealing over here 

why are your headcanons so so perfect >:((( 

AAAH POWER COUPLE !!! the matching fits would be S T U N N I N G 

~~~

:’(( the world can never have too much kuroo content!! omgg you should start a blog if you’d like to!! so you can get a bigger audience and all :)) (just make sure to tag me in all of your posts hehe) 

aww your hcs are so much more special to me than you may think :’ i take a deep breath in preparation before i start reading them, and my heart is also a puddle at the end :’)) i really really loved these!! and you, too of course <33 

*accepts all warm hugs and sends 2x hugs back* 

lots of love, lia <3

Genshin characters and their spider s/o

A little crossover HC post between terraformars and genshin.

Basically the reader is the result of a messed up experiment and now they look like a monstrous humanoid spider, like this guy:

Except you have no human skin or hair, just pure chitin, extra legs out the back, and mandibles(like a turian)

Also: request are still open, feel free to request!

Including: Jean, Xinqiu, and Razor

_____________________________

Jean: hollow knight

_____________________________

Jean had been receiving reports of frightened merchants and townsfolk, all of whom had been found on the road ranting about a giant spider.

Jean was sure it was nothing more than hilichurls or hoarders or abyss mages and the people were merely suffering panic induced hallucinations, this was supported by the clear signs of such dangers at the scene of the crime.

But still, neither any of the knights nor adventurers in the guild reported saving these people, nor did Diluc claim that he did when she asked him.

So Jean decided to investigate, after all not only is there a chance of finding camps of the three above dangers, but also the chance of finding a new ally.

When she saw you in a clearing you looked like a normal human, until you turned your head in an inhuman manner and looked at her with eight red glowing eyes.

You screamed at her and used your geo vision to grow eight giant legs out your back, which you used to run away.

Jean, being the persistent woman she is, wasn't about let you go until she confirmed if you were a friend or foe.

She chased you through the forest for a while, and unfortunately didn't notice a group of hilichurls hiding behind some trees.

One swung out and struck her from behind, knocking her to the ground.

At the sound of this you turned around and saw Jean on the ground.

While she easily could have beaten the hilichurls, she didn't have to. This is because you were immediately next to her, sword drawn and slicing through the monsters like a hot knife through butter. Your geo legs acted like extra blades that parried any attack directed towards the knight.

Because you're other legs were busy, however, you were unable to block the attack from a crossbow that shot right through your knee.

You fell down and were beaten senseless by the hilichurls, the last thing you remember was the sounds of a blade and the monsters turning to dust before you blacked out.

You woke up on a soft bed inside an unfamiliar building. You tried to get up but your knee had a large hole in it, luckily for you your ability to feel pain was long lost.

Jean entered a minute later with some food, "good, your awake."

"Where am I?" You asked.

"In my home, the guest room to be exact."

"Why did you save me?"

"Because you were in danger."

"Yes but why? Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Considering how you saved me as well? No, not at all."

Jean poured some tea for both of you, "now onto-"

You felt your eyes water, something you didn't realize you could still do.

"What's wrong?" Jean asked.

"It's just, it's been so long since anyone was...nice to me. My appearance isn't exactly very welcoming."

"And yet you still help people, the same people who call you a monster?"

"Of course! I might be an abomination, but I'm not a monster. In fact, before I became...this I had always dreamed of joining the knights."

"Well, that makes things easy."

"What do you mean?"

"While I cannot officially make you a knight, I can make you an honorary member of the knights of favonius."

"REALLY!?" You said, a child like excitment on your face.

So you joined the knights, of course not everyone was happy about this.

But noone doubted the acting grand master's decision, after all she never once failed the city.

After a while the city warmed up to you, even hailing you as a hero thanks to all you've done!

But the city's attitude towards you wasn't the only thing getting warmer.

Infact, a certain person's cheeks seemed to grow red as Amber's ribbon at the mere mention of your name.

Lisa and Kaeya were the first to notice Jean's infatuation with you, and they were quite intent on helping her.

It would be easy for them to set it up: you were cold blooded, so you had a heater in your room during the winter, and thanks to a 'freak lightning strike', your house was under renovations for the whole season, this caused Jean to let you stay in her home until yours was repaired.

Now all they had to do was sneak in an 'cool it' down.

You awoke in the middle of the night due to the temperature suddenly dropping. You tried turning on your heater but that didn't work. You went downstairs to make some hot tea, unaware that Kaeya swapped the labels on Jean's coffee and your tea. After making the beverage you sat down in the warmest corner, covered in blankets, and with a warm drink in hand.

Fun fact! Spiders get hella drunk off caffeine.

You are a spider.

One sip of the coffee and you felt funny, you couldn't think straight and felt wobbly.

Kaeya and Lisa giggled watching you.

"So, how DID you get them drunk? You couldn't exactly have spiked their tea could you?" Lisa asked.

"I swapped the labels on their tea and Jeans coffee. Spiders get hella drunk on-" Kaeya noticed Lisa worried face, "fuck, what did I do this time?"

"Kaeya, spiders don't get drunk on caffeine like humans do with alcohol."

Lisa pointed Kaeya towards the window

"Whoops"

Caffeine doesn't make spiders drunk the same way alchohol does a person, which is what Kaeya expected.

Caffeine makes spiders hyper, very hyper.

When Jean heard skittering and clanging she thought someone was robbing the house, so she was reasonably surprised to see you lying in the center of the kitchen, crying, and with webs all over.

When she asked what happened you just rolled over and mumbled out gibberish about how you can't catch any flies.

Jean picked you up to take you to bed, but you wrapped your arms and legs around her and caused her to fall.

"(Y/n), please let me go." Jean pleaded.

You shushed her, "nap time" and fell asleep.

Your grip was to strong for her to get out, and with your weight she couldn't get up in this position, so she just had to wait for you to get up.

The next day Jean got up the same time as you, she would have said something if you didn't kiss her and pet her head.

"I love this dream." You said, nuzzling into the crook of her neck.

Jean was shocked, what dream? You were clearly awake.

"I wonder if Jean is this warm in real life....I wish I could find out..."

"(Y-y/n)" she stuttered out, "you're not dreaming."

You shot up with all your eyes wide as saucers.

You immediately thought of running. But where would you go? The forest? Yeah, that works, just go there a-

You felt a warm sensation on your cheek.

"So (y/n), how does this dream usually go?" Jean said with a suggestive wink.

.

.

.

"(Y/n)?"

404 error, reader.exe has crashed

After that rather unconventional confession session, you both started dating.

Jean was concerned about not having enough time for you, but that proved to be very unfounded. Thanks to your many years alone you didn't know what dating was, so to you simply working together was fine.

On every mission out of the city you would bring gifts or a picnic for when the sun was setting.

On days where you both had paper work you would make tea and buy little cakes or biscuits and sit on her lap as you rested on eachother's shoulders and fed each other snacks, under the excuse that "sharing a chair saves space".

On the rare occasion Jean gets to have a day off, she showers you in affection.

She'll make you breakfast in bed(it's not good 80% of the time, but you don't tell her), she'll cuddle with you all day, she'll even read to you if you want. She wants to give back to you for all the time she couldn't give you her full attention.

Xingqiu: it's like one of my Inazuman graphic novels

_____________________________

Your meeting with the guhua geek was far more coincidental.

You were just minding your business, catching some animals to eat, when some weird guy just walks by you, not noticing you at all, as he reads his book.

You were rather suprised and, by extension, curious about this boy.

Was he blind in peripheral? Was he that brave? Was he an idiot?

A bit of colum B, mostly colum C.

Xingqiu sat down on a rock and continued reading, given how he was reading aloud you figured you might as well take advantage of his lack of notice and learn to read.

But he did notice.

"Ah shoot, spaces out again." Xingqiu cried, "now I have to start all over."

Xingqiu started reading the book all over again, much to your joy.

You could easily match his words to the page thanks to your speed of comprehension.

When the boy noticed it was getting late he decided to head home, while you were upset you didn't try and stop him. In fact you immediately darted away before he saw you.

The next day he came back, and read from the same spot.

And again

And again

This went on for quite some time.

Xingqiu knew someone was watching him, but he never was able to catch a glimpse. He just figured it was someone who wanted to read legends of the shattered halberd but couldn't find any copies, and so the chivalrous thing to do would be to read it for them.

One day he finished the fifth book and proclaimed it was the last one, which made you rather sad.

Until he spoke to you.

"Well my secretive friend," he turned around, "shall w-"

You screamed

He screamed

For about five minutes.

After which you both just stared at eachother.

He pointed a shakey finger at you, "you're-"

You turned away, 'a freak I know' you thought.

"SO COOL!"

"What?"

Xingqiu immediately ran at you and started inspecting you.

The whole time he had such an amazed look on his face.

"Woah!" He said as he grabbed your mandibles, "are these real?!"

"Ye ey are, a ah ee e ah a" you said hoping he would understand that you need them to talk.

"Oh. Hehe. Sorry." He said releasing them.

"Aren't you...scared of me?" You asked.

"Why would I be? If you wanted to kill me you would have. It's not like I was particularly on guard when I was reading for you."

'Y-you knew I was there?"

"I knew someone was there, and I knew they were watching me read. Since you showed such interest in my book I thought the only chivalrous thing to do was to keep reading."

You were shocked, most people just ran and screamed upon seeing you.

"Now, shall we go look for the sixth book?"

After that you and Xingqiu became fast friends.

He used some of the money he made from the scam he pulled on that scammer to buy out the forest you lived in, making it officially private property so that people won't go after you.

He kept coming back with books for you both to read, you absolutely loved it!

And while you never realized it, you also loved him.

He however, did know he loved you.

Being the menace to society he is, Xingqiu decided the best way to confess was to just kiss you.

You're sitting on a stump with your head on Xingqiu's shoulder.

"This book isn't as good as the others." You say.

"Ah don't be like that, fairy tales are the foundation of all those 'knight in shining armor books' you love."

"Yeah but this is boring."

"True, true. But I think it has a great ending." Xingqiu turned to the final page, "and then the knight told the (royal title) how much he loved them, and to seal his love he placed a kiss on their cheek."

"That wasn't good."

"Why? It was very realistic."

"In what reality does someone confess by kiss-"

*smooch*

It took you a solid five seconds to process what happened.

Xingqiu smirked at you like the bastard man he is, "this one I believe."

Your mandibles hung slack as your face got a dark shade of blue.

"Uh, (y/n)?"

"Clothes off, now."

Xingqiu stumbled out the forest four hours later. Chongyun, who was protecting his privacy, asked him what's wrong.

"Absolutely nothing." He responded with the largest grin a human could muster, before his legs gave out, "can you carry me home?"

Your relationship was more steady than just that bit though.

Xingqiu spent as much time with you as he could, he even learned how to hunt so he could be with you while you hunted for food.

You never left your forest though, you were far to afraid of people and especially the vigilant yaksha(which Xingqiu tried to convince you was friendly).

Of course, not everything goes so simply.

Xingqiu was skipping through the forest, far to enamoured at the idea of you to notice someone following him.

You sat calmly on your rock and awaited your boyfriend of two years, today was his birthday so you made him a beautiful silk picture of his favorite scene from 'the legend of the broken halberd'

You felt the boy drop into your lap, "hello my love!"

You wrapped your arms and extra legs around him, "hello my little knight, I have a wonderful gift for-"

"XINQIU! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!"

You both turned around to see a man who looked oddly like Xingqiu.

"H-hey big bro..." Xingqiu said, clearly nervous.

"You're his brother?" You asked, "nice to meet you! I'm your future sibling in law!"

His brother looked surprised, then angry, "Xingqiu, a word."

"No," he responded, "anything you can say to me you can say to my (s/o)."

"Xingqiu, this is not a game."

"ANYTHING," Xingqiu said, far more aggressive, "you can say to me, you can say to them."

His brother sighed, "you can't date them."

"I believe I can."

"XINGQIU! ME AND FATHER HAVE TOLERATED ENOUGH OF YOUR CHILDISHNESS! YOU ARE AN HEIR OF THE FEIYUN COMMERCE GUILD, YOU CANNOT DATE THAT-THAT THING!"

Xingqiu shot up into a fighting stance, "care to repeat that?"

Xingqiu stared down his brother with murderous intent.

"So you wont back down?"

"Never, I love (y/n) to much!"

"If you don't leave them, you'll be disowned by father, all your wealth, power, and influence will be forfeited. All for an inhuman freak!"

"Xinqiu please," you tried telling your beloved, "I won't let you sacrifice-"

"Sorry darling, but I don't give a damn." He interrupted you before turning to his brother, "I will NOT abandon my beloved (y/n)! They are the most precious thing in the world to me! So go ahead! Strip me if my title, my riches, of my very skin! My heart will yearn for nothing else but the cold hard touch of love that is my (s/o)!"

Xinqiu's brother smirked

"So, you promise to always be with (y/n)?"

"Yes!"

"Through both sickness and health?"

As smart as he was, Xinqiu couldn't see what was happening, "with all my heart and soul!"

"And you would take (Y/N) as your contractually bound spouse?"

"I would sooner bite my arm off than live another day without them as such! In fact!" Xinqiu turned to you, "(Y/N)! WE'RE GOING TO GET MARRIED RIGHT NOW! COME ON!"

"Hold it!" His brother demanded, "(Y/N)! Would you stay with my brother, Xinqiu, through sickness and health, through rags and riches?"

You nodded, "forever and always!"

"And would you take him to be your contractually bound husband?"

"E-even if I had to fight Rex Lapis himself!"

Two burly hands grabbed the couple and pushed them together, "You may now kiss the bride!"

Without thought, you two kissed each other, not thinking to question the cheering, clapping, and crying-

You both pulled apart, "what the abyss is happening here?!"

The burly arms, now wrapping you both, was an older crying man who also looked like Xinqiu.

Xinqiu's Brother was crying and clapping.

Chongyun was blasting off party cones(🎉🎉these things)

And several other of Xinqiu's friends were there celebrating.

"W-wait..." Xinqiu started to remember that his brother, as a high ranking member of a commerce guild, can officiate marriages.

The older man, Xinqiu's father, cried and said, "finally! Grandchildren!"

(If you can't have babies, adoption exists and is perfectly normal)

Needless to say

404 error, Xinqiu.exe and Reader.exe have stopped working

Razor: the big bad spider and the itsy bitsy spider

_____________________________

(Please understand that my knowledge of Razor is based on his quest, I know of his special vision but it won't be brought up for this. I will be sure to read the wiki page for him if I write him again)

Razor knew something was wrong.

His wolf side told him something was wrong with the forest, and his human side told him it should be either avoided at all cost or destroyed.

Because it had stayed away he had largely tried to just avoid it and keep his lupical away from whatever IT is.

Until a foolish pup decided to try and defeat whatever big bad monster had their protector so scared.

Razor ran faster than any lightning bolt upon hearing the news.

Razor didn't know what he was seeing: giant webs strewn out covering entire trees, boars and Hilichurls wrapped in webs and frozen in a sickly green.

And at the center of it all was a giant, monstrous creature with eight leg like roots coming from it's back, feeding off the life of all the creatures stuck here.

This is what he was afraid of, the beast that every inch of his primal self screamed to get away from.

But he couldn't, not until he found the pup!-

"Hello." You said calmly to the strange man coming into your home, "is this your's?"

You outstretched your hand and a sleeping pup drifted towards razor on a flower.

"He caused lots of problems, so I made him sleep. Don't worry, it's nothing permanent, give him an hour or two and he'll be right up."

After Razor left, you assumed that would be the last disturbance for a while.

But it wasn't.

Razor's wolf half still feared you, was still mortified when he pictured your spider like face, your towering body, everything.

But his human half...teembled.

Not in fear, but in a different way.

He couldn't stop thinking of you, and his primal upbringing did little to quell the less romantic thoughts about your gem like eyes, the way your mandibles clicked and moved when you talked, the overwhelming nature energy that you radiated.

But he still knew good enough to get to know you better.

Just not HOW to do it.

"Why are you spider?"

Is not a good first thing to ask.

But you explained regardless: you were taken as a kid and experimented on by some rogue students from Sumeru academy.

Then some purple lady rescued you, and while you were grateful you much preferred living out in the wild.

"Yes...wild is good! Wolvendom, especially good!"

Someone please help him.

"Purple lady....ah! Shockey wizard lady from knights?"

You nodded

"Razor good friends with her and honorary knight! Do you know red flamy girl?"

"Klee? Oh yes! I love her! She's such a nice kid!"

"Yes, Klee is like lupical! Even if she...burns down forest from time to time."

Lucky for him, your shared familial love for the pyromaniacal minor helped bridge the gap between you two.

Eventually he even got you to leave your grotto(?) And meet his lupical!

He introduced you to the wonders of actually eating rather than just sucking the life force out of animals.

You both love and protect the forest of wolvendom, and if any large threat arises to it then you both will fight fang and claw to protect your home!

Neither of you know what love is in the human sense, but you both feel it to each other and act upon it: giving each other a portion of your food, taking blows in battle for each other, and cuddling more intimately than just friends would.

You are his lupical, and so much more.

Saiouma Fic: Christmas Eve Date!

Super original title, I know. Anyways! Just wanted to write something cute starring my boys! A small summary: the boys spend Christmas Eve together for their first date, so it’s of course gotta be extra cute and soft, hehe. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to want to give it a read! And if you celebrate it, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays! ☆

It had been a week since Shuichi and Kokichi started dating. The detective.... still couldn't believe it, honestly. The boy he struggled so hard to understand at times, just couldn't figure out, sometimes got impatient or annoyed with him... was now the boy he fell for. 

Though Kokichi was still honestly as surprised, too. A boy who wore many different masks, hid behind so many walls... yet this shy, meek detective crashed through many of them. He confused the supreme leader at times, caught him off guard... and interested him. He would jokingly tell the detective he loves him sometimes, bu even unexpected to him: he truly did end up falling for him.

Tonight, they were going to spend Christmas Eve together, for their first date. They both were admittedly nervous over the fact, but an excited kind of nervous., since Shuichi proposed the idea of spending time together tonight. He was going to make sure it'll be an enjoyable night for Kokichi.

 Right now, he was standing in the main square, waiting for Kokichi to arrive. Their meetup time was 7:30pm, Shuichi arriving a few minutes earlier. His eyes look up towards the giant illuminated Christmas tree in the center, thinking it looks even prettier as the snow slowly falls.  

Several minutes later, a certain someone spots Shuichi. He would've just went up to him like normal, but instead: he starts tiptoeing towards him from behind, a flash of that cheeky smile visible from under his scarf. Shuichi was still spacing out a bit while he looks at the tree, so he wasn't aware of Kokichi's presence. Once he was close enough, Kokichi reaches his arms up, and... "Ha!!"

"Aiiiee?!" ...Places his cold hands on Shuichi's neck, making the boy jump with a yelp. "K-Kokichi-!" He quickly turns around, greeted by the laughing boy.

"Hahaha! You always make the funniest sounds! Shuichi~!" He chimes, placing his hands back into his pockets. "What were you even staring off into space about, anyway? I've been waiting for you to notice me for the past 20 minutes, ya knoooow."

"H-Huh? 20 minutes...? But I didn't even see you..."

"That's right! 20 minutes! I was standing right over there, waiting for you to notice me, Shuichi... how could you be so cruel...? But that's a lie! I just got here."

"O-Oh... geez, you had me worried for a second..." He gives Kokichi's nose a poke, emitting a giggle from him. "And where are your gloves? Your hands were very cold..."

"Hm? What do ya mean? They're very warm!" Which was, of course: a very obvious lie. He had actually forgot them when he was heading out the house, but he wasn't about to admit that. He shows his cold hands to Shuichi, as if that was going to prove it. "See? I don't need gloves."

"You're obviously lying. Here, let me..." A sigh, Shuichi cups Kokichi's hands in his. He then proceeds to blow air on them to help warm them up.

"Ah..." Kokichi blinks, honestly not expecting he was going to do that, even if a part of him admittedly was hoping for it. The more Shuichi blew his breath on his hands, the warmer they became.. along with his cheeks, which heated up in turn.

Once he was done, he rubs small circles in the back of Kokichi's hands. "There.. I hope that helped." 

"Sh...Shuichi's so cheesy..." He whines, blushing. Now he was thankful his scarf covers most of his face. "Y...Yeah, thanks... my hands really do feel warmer, now. Now come onnn, let's get starteddd..." And before Shuichi could have time to notice, Kokichi runs over to get behind him and start pushing on his back.

"W-Woah, okay-!" Shuichi stumbles a bit forward, until Kokichi goes to start walking alongside him. But even aside from that, Kokichi was eager to start their date. He never spent Christmas Eve with someone romantically like this, before... even if it didn't show, he was still very nervous about the thought. But he told himself... it'll be fine. No need to overthink, or think so hard: just relax himself for once... and enjoy tonight with Shuichi.

Shiba Park was holding a Christmas market in its area, which they were heading to. A German-influenced kind of event, some of the foods and drinks were traditional German and holiday kinds, along with the set up of the booths looking like an old village. It sold a variety of Christmas-themed items such as ornaments, decorations, toys, nutcracker dolls, cuckoo clocks, etc. Even as they just look around, they curiously examine the different things the booths were selling, Kokichi tugging on Shuichi's hand whenever he wanted to drag him to the next booth that caught his interest. Not that the detective minded at all: he found it honestly adorable to see his boyfriend so excited like this. "Ohh, Shuichi, look!!"

"Ah?" Kokichi then points to the most notable attraction in the market: the giant Christmas pyramid in the center. "Ahh...!" As they walk closer to it, they can see the different figures and dolls inside of it, along with the pyramid slowly spinning. "This looks amazing... I've never seen one up close like this, before..."

"They imported this from Germany, did you know?" Informs Kokichi, even holding a finger up as if he was lecturing him. "I have bases set up all over the world, as you already know. My subordinates that reside in Germany... I ordered them to create this and ship it here! So you have only us to thank for such excellent craftsmanship~!"

Shuichi just slumps his shoulders. "I-Is that a lie..."

"Who knows? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't!" He smiles cheekily. "Though it isn't a lie that it's from Germany. But it's okay, Shuichi: even if you're dumb, your extra smart boyfriend will educate you on lots of things.... nishishi, get your mind out of the gutter!" Cackles Kokichi, jabbing his finger in Shuichi's side.

"I-I didn't even say anything!! A-And you're the one saying weird things! ANYWAY-" He pouts, blushing. "Th-Thank you for the fun fact, this does look very well made.... Ah, let me take a picture of it, actually." Getting out his phone, Shuichi steps back a bit so he could get several pictures of the pyramid. Or at least; he would've gotten clearer ones, if Kokichi wasn't making him laugh by constantly cutting into the shots with ridiculous faces and poses. "G-Get out of the shot, Kokichi, hahahah!"

"Never! Bask in my glory, nishishi!!" Shuichi laughing was only making Kokichi laugh even more. He was glad Shuichi didn't get annoyed by him doing that. It wasn't often he saw the detective actually crack up, he feels. It sounded so nice to hear... especially because he was the one making him laugh. He was starting to see those little reminders of what made him fall for the other in the first place.

Though he eventually stopped playing around so that Shuichi could get clear pictures of the pyramid, and snap some shots of the booths as well. Once he was done, he puts his phone away. "There we go... alright, where to visit next... oh!" Shuichi gestures over to one of the booths selling desserts and hot drinks. "How about we enjoy a little treat? A lot of the food stalls were selling their drinks in their custom mugs, too... I want to buy one!"

"Awwright!" Kokichi beams, shaking his fists excitedly. "Let's go, let's go!!" Kokichi grabs Shuichi's hand to drag him over there. Different flavors of hot chocolate, coffee, and cider were the drinks that were being sold, along with different sweets, most notably being slices of strawberry shortcake: or ‘Christmas Cake’, rather. Kokichi first looks at the different mugs one could buy to keep after they finish their drink. Snowman mugs and gingerbread mugs were some of the types they were selling. "I want... hot chocolate in a gingerbread mug! With lotsa whipped cream and marshmallows aaand a gingerbread cookie, too! Oh, and let's eat some Christmas cake together, too!! Pwetty pwease, Shuichi~?" He looks up at Shuichi with a 'cutesy, innocent' expression.

"W-Well if it's what you want, of course I don't mind buying that for you! Let's see what I'll get..." Shuichi orders what Kokichi wants, and then orders himself peppermint hot chocolate in a snowman mug, along with two slices of Christmas cake for them both. They go to one of the tables so they could enjoy their stuff. He gives a soft exhale as the hot choclate warms his body. "This tastes so good... I like drinking hot chocolate when I'm cold. And it goes really well with the cake..."

"Right?!" Kokichi gives a small hum feeling the hot mug not only warm his hands, but the hot chocolate also warming up his body, too. "Shuichi gets it! And the cookie I got with my drink is really tasty. You should've got one, too, Shuichi! But since I'm feeling generouuus...." Kokichi picks up the cookie and breaks off a piece. He holds it up to Shuichi's mouth. "Here! Say 'ahhh~!'"

"E-Ehh?? Th-That's..." Shuichi shifts his eyes a bit, seeing if anyone was looking. It'd be a little embarrassing doing that in public... but nonetheless, slowly goes to open his mouth. "A...Ahh...."

"Good boy!" He snickers, placing the cookie in Shuichi's mouth. And before Shuichi could stand back up straight, Kokichi leans up to press a kiss to Shuichi's cheek. His lips were warm from drinking the hot chocolate, so he teases: "Heated kisses!"

"Kokifchiimm...." He mumbles, feeling the heat to his cheeks rise even more. He finishes the cookie piece, sips more of his chocolate... before leaning in to place a quick kiss to his lips. "A-A heated kiss for you, too...!"

"Ah!!" Whining, Kokichi starts pummeling Shuichi's chest, his own face a deeper shade of red from feeling embarrassed. "N-No fair! Cheater!!"

"Hehehe....w-well that's what you get for teasing me! So it's payback! That, and... you look really cute when you blush...."

"Hmph!!" Kokichi reaches up to tug on the drawstrings of Shuichi's coat, forcing the hood to close up real tight. Hearing Shuichi make incomprehensible mumbles made him start laughing, distracted from how flustered his boyfriend was making him for just a second. "You're so silly, Shuichi..." Yet the way he said that was a tone full of genuine warmth and fondness: a kind rare to hear from the supreme leader.

Once they finished their drinks and desserts, they place their respective mugs in their bags. It was hard to really want to buy anything, since a lot of items there were admittedly very pricey... but in the end, they bought themselves little keychains of gingerbread houses, so they were satisfied. After they were done at the market, they walk down the city streets, admiring the illuminated trees. And Tokyo Tower in the distance, also being illuminated: looked really pretty as well...

"Hey, Shuichi: I want to show you something! It's all the way in Shinjuku: Terrace City, specifically!!"

"Oh...?" He gives a curious head tilt. "Is something happening down there, too?" "Yesiree! But it's a sur~prise until we get there!" Kokichi takes out his phone to check the train schedules. "The next train to Shinjuku will be here in 15 minutes! The station's up ahead, riiight? So come on! Fuuuull charge!!!" And before Shuichi can even respond, Kokichi grabs his hand and starts sprinting.

"Uwah-!!" And Shuichi's quickly running as well so he won't trip. How many times by now has he been dragged around like a rag doll, he jokingly wonders to himself? Though he really was curious to see what Kokichi wanted to surprise him with...

What Kokichi wanted to show him was the winter illuminations in Terrace City. Along the pathways and streets were a plethora of illuminated trees, lamps, buildings... all of a variety of colors. And as Kokichi brings Shuichi along one of the walkways, gives a closer look at the decorated trees and bushes, light decorations placed inside of the trees as well. The mixtures of yellows, whites, blues, and purples of the Christmas lights, paired with the night sky and falling snow... almost made the walk along the pathway feel magical. He looks up at Shuichi, giggling under his breath to see how amazed he looked. "Really pretty, right? That's why I wanted to show you!"

"Yes, it's...." His eyes continue to scan the illuminations, stopping for a moment to admire them some more. "Really pretty...I love it..."

"Nishishi..." Kokichi goes to stand alongside him, cupping Shuichi's hand in his. "...." For a moment, he's silently admiring the sight as well before he looks up towards him and asks: "....Is Shuichi having fun tonight? You are, right...?" The clear indication of nervousness in his tone, he can't hide. He doesn't hide... 

Shuichi can feel him grip his hand a bit tighter from tension. "Ah?" Shuichi blinks in surprise, looking down at him. Feeling Kokichi squeeze his hand tighter like that for a moment: he could tell he was nervous. "Kokichi..." Giving him a warm smile, Shuichi nods his head. "Yes. I've been having a lot of fun tonight, thanks to you. I... hope you have been, too, Kokichi..." For a second, he pauses, until his other hand slowly goes up to cup Kokichi's cheek, stroking it gently with his thumb.

"........." Feeling his cheeks heat up, Kokichi nuzzles Shuichi's hand. "...Good. I'm glad. Since: yeah. I'm having fun, too. But I knew I would: since it's with you, Shuichi..." He softly mumbles, looking up at Shuichi with genuine warmth in his eyes and tone. Knowing Shuichi was having a fun time tonight, just like he was: it made him relieved, and happy...

"Kokichi..." The look Kokichi gives him, and knowing he was also having fun: it made his heart feel warm. It made him feel happier and happier that he decided to bring Kokichi out, tonight.

Being soft like this with someone, honest and vulnerable like this... it was normally such a scary thought. It still is, yet: when it came to Shuichi, it didn't feel as bad. The detective truly was special in a lot of ways. But it was still embarrassing, so it didn't take long for that big, bright smile to plaster right back onto Kokichi's face. "Anywaaaay~! It's time for the final event: exchanging gifts! Thooough I'd rather us do it somewhere where no nosy wosies can see, so..." And without warning, Kokichi takes a step back, and... makes a run for it, speeding down the walkway. "Catch me, catch me, Detective~!"

"Ah?! W-Wait! Kokichi-!!" Shuichi hurries to run after him, confused as to where the cackling boy was even trying to go. "Sh...Sheesh....this boy..." It wasn't the first time he's had to chase him for whatever reason. Even he couldn't help but crack a smile, for once not caring if they looked ridiculous running down the streets, making sure to dodge people they fly past.

When he sometimes looked back to see if Shuichi was still following and saw him smiling, it made his own smile widen even more.  "Nishishi! Shuichi's been getting better at keeping up with me!" Eventually, a hill comes into their distance. Kokichi begins to run up it, ignoring the soreness in his legs from running nonstop. It was a steep hill, but once one gets up there.... it gave them a great view of the cityscape below. As he slowly comes to a stop, he takes a moment to catch his breath before saying: "H...Here we are!"

Shuichi slowly follows after, looking more tired than he did. He pants heavily, hands placed on his knees as he catches his breath. "M...My legs... sore..." "Come on!" Kokichi sits down, patting the seat next to him. "Sit, sit!" Not only so they could rest their legs, but to enjoy the view for a moment as well. Once Shuichi sat down, Kokichi leans against him. "I like this hill. It gives you such a great view of the city, don't ya think? And I can exclaim to the whole world who the supreme leader of evil is!!"

"Ahaha... yes, I'm sure you can. But yeah, the view is very beautiful..." The natural city lights, paired with the Christmas lights, made the illuminated city look even prettier at night. "I can see why you wanted to come up here."

"Yep! And nooow..." Sitting up straight, Kokichi takes his bookbag off his shoulders. "Gift exchanging tiiime~! A special gift from Ouma Kokichi, himself: so you're guaranteed to love it!" At least: he hopes he will. The store he retrieved this present from was one far away, and he was lucky to even get one before it ran out of stock. He felt that Shuichi might love something like that.... he hopes he's right. The nervous pounding in his chest grows when he takes the wrapped gift out. It was a medium-sized gift box, wrapped in colorful polka dot-patterned wrapping paper and a striped purple bow. The wrapping was admittedly...not great at all, which Kokichi hopes Shuichi doesn't point out, nor mind. It still looked like he tried his best to do it, though. "Here! You go first!"

"O-Okay..." Shuichi takes the present into his hand. He doesn't comment on the wrapping, since he didn't care if it wasn't perfect. He unties the ribbon before unwrapping the present. Once he opens the lid of the gift box, he would see a stuffed teddy bear inside. "...!" The teddy bear has a black hat on its head, along with wearing a white shirt, black vest, and striped bow. On the center of its bowtie is a 'brooch', which is actually a button. "Ah...?" Shuichi looks at Kokichi for a  moment. He gives a nod, silently telling him to go ahead and press it. When Shuichi goes to do so, a melody starts playing. "O...Oh...!"

In truth, the teddy bear had a music box stuffed inside it. The tune it played had soothing, almost jazzy like beat to it. Like something that would play in the background of a cafe, hence the teddy bear's barista-like outfit. Kokichi studies Shuichi's reaction with an unreadable expression as they listen to the tune. Seeing Shuichi look practically mesmerized by the gift couldn't help but make a soft giggle leave him. He was scared it'd be a bad or underwhelming reaction, but: it ended up being much better than he expected. "Nishishi~! You love it that much?"

Once the music ended, Shuichi still looks in awe before snapping out of it and nodding his head vigorously. "Y...Yes!!! I-I love it so much, Kokichi! The teddy bear looks so cute!! And..." He holds it close to his chest. "...The music box sounds so pretty. I promise to take great care of it... ah, now for your gift-!" Carefully placing the teddy bear down next to him, Shuichi goes inside his bag to take out Kokichi's gift. The wrapping was neat, having a pattern of stars and a white bow. The size of the gift box was a bit smaller than Kokichi's, but all the same, hopes he'll love his gift, too. He hands it to him, saying: "H...Here you go..."

Almost too eagerly, Kokichi takes the gift in his hands. "Huhuhu... let's see what the daring detective got me!! If it's too lame... I might have to kill him..." Though he was only teasing, expecting he will love whatever is inside. And when he tears away the wrapping paper, opening up the lid... "!!!!!!!!" His eyes widen. Taking out the gift, he could see it was a snowglobe. But not only that: the inside had a design of an organization building. On the 'grounds' of the building were purple-and-black dice cubes. It also had colorful garlands, some of the snow made to look like confetti, and: on the base of the snow globe, had the letters 'DICE' written on it. "DICE..."

"Heheh... I had this custom made. I wanted to base it off your organization...! Well: not what I know what the actual building really looks like, only the name of your organization... and the extra stuff was to give it a 'circus' touch to it, since you love playing pranks and mischievous... and the dice blocks for, well: obvious reasons, hehe... g-go on: give it a shake!"

Once he does give it a shake, Kokichi's excitedly shifting in place when he sees the snow and confetti slowly fall inside of the globe, along with the dice blocks bouncing around in there. Needless to say, he loved it. Very much. "Shuichi...." Kokichi places the snow globe down... before lunging at Shuichi, glomping him down in a hug. "...I love it!! You truly do know me so well, nishishi~! It perfectly captures the aura of my organization!!!"

"Woah...!" He gave a small yelp when Kokichi glomped him down, laughing before wrapping his arms around him. "Ah, well I'm glad you love it...!  I just... wanted to give you something special, like you gave me. I had... so much fun with you, tonight. My first date...with my boyfriend...went so well. I'm so happy...!" "Nishishi... Shuichi's so cute..." His hands gently cup the detective's face, stroking his cheeks gently with his thumbs. "...I had the time of my life, too! You amazed this supreme leader lots, so you get to live for another day! Really though.... I'm glad I spent tonight with you, Shuichi. And that....you're my boyfriend. That's not a lie..."

"Ahh....Kokichi...." The blush on Shuichi's face darkens, giggling as he starts snuggling him softly. "Y...You know, th-the date doesn't have to end, now! We can... go back to my house and spend some more time there. Maybe watch a movie with some hot drinks, in comfy sweaters...and then cuddle in bed... i-if you'd like to spend the night. I'd love that, at least..."

"...Passing up a chance to spend more time with and cuddle my Shumai? Yeah, right!! So, I accept! I'm gonna steal all your sweaters and your pajamas! And I won't give them back, too!"

"Hehehe... w-well I won't complain." They nuzzles their foreheads sofly together. And for a moment... they're quietly staring at each other. The amount of love and adoration in Shuichi's eyes as he stares up at Kokichi... only he could ever get such a look. And the special kind of warmth and softness in Kokichi's: was one only for Shuichi's eyes. "...I love you, Kokichi. I love you so much..." "Shuichi..." Feeling his own cheeks turn back,  he softly whispers: "...I love you, too. Lots! Since my beloved Shumai took me on such a great date... I'll shower him in all the cuddles and kisses!!!"

"Ahaha.... I'd love that a lot, yes." They give each other one more stare... before Kokichi leans his head in closer, planting a soft kiss to Shuichi's lips. And even once it's over, he plants another, after another, after another on him. The detectives gives a content hum at the kisses, returning each one he gives while rubbing small circles in his back, before ultimately giving him a longer, deeper kiss. For a moment, he wanted to just stay right here, continuing to hold Kokichi in his arms like this.  The way he makes the detective's heart flutter, how much he makes him feel loved and special.... he truly feels lucky to be Kokichi's boyfriend.

Though eventually, it was starting to get a bit too cold to just keep laying there, and didn't want snow to start piling on them, so: once they needed a small break from kissing so much, Kokichi gets off of him, standing up so he could extend his hand. "Let's go, shall we? Our date's not over just yet!"

"Ehehe.... yes." He grabs Kokichi's hand so he could be helped up. Once they put their presents and gift boxes back into their bags, Shuichi cups Kokichi's hand. "...Let's go home."

"Mmhm...!" And Kokichi starts running down the hill, making Shuichi have to keep up with him, the boys laughing together while they do so. They were eager to hurry and make it home, so they could continue to form what’ll be one of their happiest memories of Christmas Eve with each other.
