Boyfriend Headcanons (Momotarou Edition)

Actors: Mikado Momdera, Tsukuyomi Momoka, Ousuke Momokado

MPAA: General Audiences (GN!Reader)

Mikado Momodera:

The sweetest boyfriend

He was a bit hesitant to start dating you, but when he was confident about your safety, he wasted no time in asking you out

You two usually go out to some carnival or festival

He shows off how well his aim is and can't help but smirk at you when you look at him like he's a show off

He totally is trying to impress you

He doesn't usually let you meet other momotarou, usually doesn't want them to scare you off

However, because they often somehow find him, you have met Tsukuyomi and Ousuke

Tsukuyomi immediately asked for your sign and began to go into a whole spiel on whether or not you and Mikado were compatible and Mikado pulled you away from him

He's always silently praying that you're not an oni, so that the other momotarou wouldn't kill you

If you did turn out to be one, he'd ask if you've ever hurt anyone or if you would, and depending on the answer, he'll continue the relationship or not

He loves cuddling you and kissing your forehead

If anyone happens to find him after not knowing where he is, then they usually find him in your arms

Tsukuyomi Momoka

Oh goodness this man

He meets you and he's sure he's in love

Immediately asks for your sign to check if you're compatible

Though he mind bend the truth if he really like you

Be prepared to not ask why the fuck he owns so many items that he has lying around his house

He explains them by saying they're lucky items

You should also prepare for him giving you charms or lucky items

And usually they are ridiculously outlandish, you’re not even sure why or how he got half of the items he tries to give to you

Ousuke somehow found out about you and has threatened you with death or at least a fight if he finds out your an oni

If you are abd Tsukuyomi finds out... he might turn a blind eye. Emphasis on the might

All in all, a very weird boyfriend who just wants the best for you

Even though that means in his book giving you a bowling ball

Ousuke Momokado

He wanted to fight you the first time he saw you

Tsukuyomi stopped him and made him properly introduce himself

After a day of just really wanting to fight you, he asks you out

He takes you to a field and challenges you to a fight

However, at your denial, he's disappointed and is ready to go, but then you ask if he wants to go on a proper date

He agrees and he takes you to an action movie

Most of your dates is watching action movies and you patching him up from any fights he had recently

He'll walk to your house and collapse on you after walking there from a fight, please save this man, he doesn't know any better

If you're an oni and he finds out, it's on sight, he will fight you

If you manage to win/survive, he will still date you, there will just be more physical fights

He doesn't like cuddling, but he'll sleep on your lap

[comfortabletogether]

Hey, can I have Utsuro, Tsurugi, Mikado, and Syobai with a female bimbo ultimate Pastry chef s/o? She's super bubbly and sweet and and bakes for them and wants to fix them? If you could write this I'll give you a shortcake 🍰

Thank you for the request!! I really appreciate it, and how did you know that strawberry shortcake is my favorite dessert?!!? Where did you put the cameras???

I’m kidding lol. No but seriously Strawberry Shortcake is my favorite dessert, there is a great place that serves it in the summer and it’s the best. It’s the highlight of my summer.

admittedly i do not know what a bimbo is and I’m frankly too scared to look it up since none of my friends will tell me.

I decided to write for IRL!Mikado instead of AI!Mikado because you didn’t specify. And honestly was fine with writing all of these characters except I started to get super scared when I got to Utsuro 😭😭

I just didn’t want to mess up or disrespect my husband.

WARNING: SPOILERS; JUNKO MENTION; OOC-NESS; TOXIC BEHAVIORS; STALKING, OBESSION

~ Mod Haruhiko ✈️

Tsurugi Kinjo

🚔 Tsurugi starts out extremely suspicious of your kindness. Even when you bring him some ‘extra pastries’ (you made them just for him), he just thinks you’re being a friendly classmate. Or maybe you’re trying to bribe him. He doesn’t once consider that you may just like him.

🚔 If you keep persisting on being around him and hanging out with him and giving him small gifts— then he will start to develop crush on you back. He won’t understand exactly what he’s feeling so he will definitely go to Yamato to ask for advice. Yamato is his wingman and will probably be the one to actually get you two together.

🚔 When you are finally together, he will be very protective over you. He’s seen too much evil in this world and you’re so sweet and kind and amazing and wonder and— Tsurugi just wants to shield you from that.

🚔 Tsurugi doesn’t have all too much of a sweet tooth. So he won’t often accept that many gifts of pastries from you.

🚔 It will be a long time into you and Tsurugi’s but eventually he will open up to you about everything he had seen. His trauma with his dad, Kouhei, everything will come pouring out. And it would happen on one night too. It would be a night of a lot of tears and depressing talks that involve you holding Tsurugi tight, whispering praise and reassurance.

🚔 Tsurugi’s worldviews will eventually change while you are with him, you and Yamato help him improve as a person. And he appreciates you helping to break him free of his father’s toxic mindset.

Syobai Hashimoto 

🚬 At first, Syobai feels bugged by you and your sweetness, rolling his eyes and coldly asking if you have money when you want to talk with him. But, albeit simple, if you bring him a few pastries and tell him that they are free of charge— he’ll changed his mind slightly.

🚬 But Syobai being Syobai Hashimoto, he won’t know how to express his subtle appreciation and connection with you in a proper way, so he’ll just let you be with him or get some information from him without any sort of charge.

🚬 Syobai eventually will confess via just straight up telling you in the bluntest way possible. Bake him something for the first date. He’s always caught so off guard by you, especially when you do something really nice for him. It’s not something that’s he is exactly used to. 

🚬 Bake him a pastry shaped like money, he’ll laugh. To be with Syobai you would definitely have to be smart in some regard, as he cannot deal with stupid people without throwing insults at them. You’d probably at the very least understand common sense.

🚬 This man will be hard to fix, he was abandoned in childhood. But after a little while, and a few pastries, he will start to open up a little bit. But he would definitely shield you from his side on the black market, sure you’ll know about it but he will never get into details about it.

🚬 Syobai’s behaviors won’t change even if you try and fix him. He’ll be kinder and more loving with you (in private, will shove you off in public). But he was will still be rude to everyone else.

Irl!Mikado Sannoji 

💿 He would probably find you and your information out from either Kokoro or from his excessive stalking of Utsuro. You would’ve been in his class and were a survivor of the killing game but never joined up in the Kisaragi Foundation, opting to do something else to help the world.

💿 Mikado would definitely create a scenario where he accidentally runs into you at like a coffee shop or something, and  the two of you instantly hit it off. And Mikado is definitely not developing a very large obsession with you.

💿 Dating him is pretty cool, he’ll take you out on walks or bring you to his apartment or just go to yours. He has a lot of money that he justifies by telling you that he works really high up with programmers. And he refuses to introduce you to Kokoro but he will definitely gush to her about you.

💿 One morning when Mikado spent the night at your apartment, he woke up that morning to the smell of raspberry tarts. Mikado often forgets that you used to work as a pastry chef. And when he takes a bite he almost a faints. 

💿 To be completely honest, you might make Mikado worse. You’ll get him to open up to you about his tragic backstory and you’ll help him overcome some insecurities he has but your relationship would be built off so many lies and miscommunications and there is so much you don’t know about him that he doesn’t want you to find out.

💿 He’s so obsessed with both you and Utsuro, and his obsession with you might even surpass his of Utsuro. Sure, he’ll continue to search for him but he is full heartedly convinced that you had inherited Utsuro’s divine luck or something similar.

Utsuro

🍀 Another one who is suspicious of your kind behavior. Utsuro has been used for his luck so many times that he doesn’t understand that someone who hasn’t been with him for years actually likes him for him.

🍀 Utsuro for a long time will pretend to not care about you. So you’ll have to be very persistent with him. After time with you reassuring him that you appreciate him for him, thank him for things you don’t exactly need to, praise, and just spending time with him, he’ll develop feelings for you.

🍀 But Utsuro wouldn’t ask you out, his luck would just make you say yes anyways, and he didn’t want to force you to do anything with his luck. But to his surprise, one random day in February, you give him a box of pastries and then you spill you practically spill your guts to him. 

🍀 He’ll silently adore your sweetness and think it’s ironic your talent going on par with it. If you are baking anything, Utsuro would typically sit silently in the corner while reading a book that he would recommend for you to read after he’s done.

🍀 Your existence and being by his side would probably convince him to withdraw from Junko’s plan (and would probably lead to its downfall). But you helping him be a better person and become less distrustful, which unfortunately doesn’t show externally.

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Hallo! Could i kindly request for headcannon with separately Sora, Setsuka, Nikei, Yuki, Mikado, and Syobai, with a gender neutral S/O that likes to randomly hug them from behind and also like to follow them around. How do they react and how does the participate/the people close by react to that? Hope u have a nice day lovely writer

Thanks! It's been a while since I've written for these characters!

.......

Sora

The first time this happened, she thought somebody was trying to jump her until she realizes it's only you.

Eventually she gets used to it, recognizing your footstep patterns moments beforehand.

Your affections are often the distraction she needs whenever investigating places/murders gets overwhelming or she's struggling with her amnesia.

She doesn't mind you following her around while exploring the ship or islands. It gives you a chance to talk about what you found, or just have casual chats to take your minds off of this dreadful "trip".

Whenever the others see you together, they usually mind their business. You both keep tightly-knit alibis, so you're rarely suspected of any murders.

But Monocrow can be quite annoying with his constant "no excessive PDA" reminders.

Setsuka

Ever since you've known her, the ol' "hugging from behind" greeting was something you two have exchanged for years. She's absolutely all for it.

It helps on days where she gets self-conscious of her cybernetic eye and stares into the mirror too long. You'd embrace her and reassure her it looks beautiful, giving her a kiss that cheers her up right away.

Fastforward to the killing game, you'd always stay by each other's side, helping the other students feel better about this grim situation and find ways to lift everyone's spirits.

You're impressed with how quickly Setsuka became the "mom friend" among them.

When they all see you being a sweet and supportive couple, it's hard for them to believe either of you could be potential murderers or Voids.

You might possibly have a friendly rival with Hibiki--just to see who can hug your gf the most in a single day.

Nikei

If he's hyperfocused on writing articles or making observations for scoops, he's easy to startle.

It just takes him out of the zone™ and he may get a little annoyed, so it's best to make your presence known beforehand. Only then he doesn't mind it.

He finds it endearing if you wanna follow him around, as he'd love to ramble about his latest scoop to a listening ear.

Alternatively, he could be venting about Mikado being a total bitch (assuming you're part of Void or don't mind the fact he's in Void), but you'll let him.

Before the killing game, the rest of the Void gang sees your interactions as cute!

Though they're surprised at how he can yell at them one moment, and then smile and hug you the next.

During the game, however, Nikei easily gets flustered by your affections if others are around to witness them--especially if Mikado points them out.

But if you're both alone together he'll let you hug him.

Yuki

Tbh if anyone appreciates your hugs the most, it's this guy.

They definitely help bring him back to reality whenever he starts getting upset or disassociates.

Somehow you just know when he needs you the most.

With his fear of losing people he cares about, he'd rather have you stick by him as you venture through the ship or islands. It gets harder to trust anyone besides his s/o as the murders continue.

But he refuses to think you'll ever be a killer. Just straight-up denies it.

Most of the students see you together and notice he's not as pessimistic anymore, which is great!

As for others, well...they may just see you as "interference" and might try to do something to change that /j

Mikado

Usually, he wouldn't allow anyone to sneak up on the mastermind so easily.

But he can sense whenever it's you and so he just plays along, feigning being "captured" once he feels your arms around him.

His mask is all smiles (or half smiles, in this case).

He'll try to reciprocate the gestures when you least expect it, sometimes sweeping you off your feet.

Honestly when not dealing with Void-related stuff, he likes following you around just as much as you like following him!

But only bc he thinks this is what couples normally do.

The others (esp Sora and Teruya) think you've gone crazy for dating the freaking mastermind, and Nikei fully believes you've been brainwashed/hypnotized into loving him.

Imagine how flabbergasted the journalist is when Mikado explains that's not the case whatsoever.

Syobai

Like Sora and Mikado, he can anticipate if you're coming up behind him.

You two got an inside joke that he'll "charge" you for every second you spend hugging him, with you gladly saying you'll go broke.

What made the Ultimate Broker fall for you hard is knowing his dry humor. You get it.

He does feel a bit relaxed with his back against you, so he may be tempted to let you carry most of his weight while he smokes.

If you tend to follow him around like a lost puppy, he won't make much of a comment on it, though he'll ask if you needed something or if you had info to share.

Don't take it to heart. He's just used to being a loner.

Should anyone else notice, they simply marvel at how you can tolerate him.

PLEASELLEAPELSPPEPALRPELSPALDPE

SOMEONE PLEASE FIND ME A GOOD ASS MIKADO X READER!! IM DESPERATE^#;# IVE READ FIC OF HIM IN TUMBLR AND IN AO3.. THIS MAN IS MY POOKIE I NEED HIM TRGHHHHAHHH

-:3

[tired-writer-in-progress]

i hope its alr if i ask for nikei, irl mikado, and tsurugi with a crush?

Of course! Sorry this took a while, managing a lot of blogs is a bit difficult and I got a lack of motivation!

@eventide-roses psssst mama look its your cop husband :D

THIS IS LOVE?: Nikei, IRLKado and Tsurugi with a crush.

NIKEI:

-He's a hyperactive tsundere, so I can see this going two ways.

-Either 1. Around you, he acts like Yoruko when she is flustered. Or 2. He is very excited, like a cute adorable puppy. Or it's a mix of both.

-He writes a lot of articles about you and your talent, but they're private for himself.

-The only one he lets wear his hat. He thinks you look cute in it.

-He has no clue he's inlove during the first weeks.

IRL MIKADO:

-He is very much aware he is in love with you. And he's shy about it. And also a bit obsessed but not to an unhealthy/yandere level.

-He does his best to get to know you better instead of asking you out directly. He hangs out with you a lot and lets you ramble about your interests.

-He's also very happy you let him ramble about his interests too, since that never happened.

-But he can't muster up the courage to confess, unfortunately.

TSURUGI:

-Another one who has no clue about love. Seriously, what is wrong with this boy.

-Unlike Nikei, he's very dense, too dense to realize he's in love. He just thinks he's being protective of you.

-It's so bad that even Satsuki and Mitch know he's in love. Everyone in his class knows except him, and Teruya of all people is the one who tells him.

-And he still doesn't get it-

[danganronpafan777]

can I request sdra2 boys reacting to a fem!reader (or gn if you don’t do fem) that everyone just thought was a boy and she did not care to correct them, except for when she tries to go to the bathroom or change which is when everyone found out-

Ok lol, but Y/n does end up telling Teruya and Hajime in their scenarios

Yuri Kagarin:

Since Yuri thought you were a boy, he disrespected your entire existence when he first met you 

Even if his dislike and rude remarks against you were annoying, you still didn't correct him

When Yuri was complimenting Sora, he noticed you go into the girls bathroom

Oh hell no

With his ideas of all males being disgusting creeps, he thought you were being a pervert, so he did the heroic thing and try to run into the bathroom and beat the crap out of you 

Except he wasn't able to open the bathroom door

He was pissed that Monocrow was letting this pervert enter and not him, until Monocrow came out and explained that boys weren't allowed in the girls bathroom.

Yuri is about to yell about you to Monocrow when it suddenly hits him

He's straight up in denial for a few moments, and when you leave the bathroom, he straight up asks you in shock,

"...Are you a girl?"

"Glad someone figured it out." 

He basically spends the rest of the day following you and begging you for forgiveness, and even when you forgave him, he still stuck by you, seeming to enjoy your company

He was still a long shot from not hating men, but you seemed to open his eyes a bit

Teruya Otori:

When being in another trauma inducing situation, knowing you could help everyone but you don't have your memories to do so, it was hard to find someone to trust

But Teruya trusted you

You listened to him and comforted him through the murders, and did the best you could to help him remember, even if his past memories weren't very pleasant

You had just been comforting Teruya, who was desperately trying to remember how he got his goggles, when the nighttime announcement played

Teruya quickly wiped his tears and looked around,

Even if your dorm wasn't too far away, he still remembered from his last killing game that going out at night wasn't a good idea 

"Y/n, it's late. You shouldn't go out at nighttime, do you want to spend the night?"

"A boy and a girl spending the night together? How unwholesome." 

"Wha..." 

It took him a solid minute to realize that you were a girl, and he just asked you to spend the night with him HoLy sHiT-

He began blabbering about how he was sorry and he didn't know

You just laughed it off and told him you didn't bother correcting people

He kept apologizing and you laughed it off, telling him that you'd see him (and make fun of him more) in the morning

Then he found your corpse the next morning

Just kidding, he didn't think anything less of you because of your gender, and would correct the others or tell them if they didn't know and if you were fine with it

Yuki Maeda: 

You and Yuki were pretty good friends

Not "walk right in when the other is changing" good friends, but you guys enjoyed each other's presence

Yuki's luck and obliviousness came into play when he decided he would knock on your door and see if you wanted to hang out

He noticed your door was open and got scared, what if you were killed!?

He opened it, hoping he wasn't about to find your corpse

"Wha...! Y-Y/N!?"

His face goes red when he realizes that not only are you a girl, but he also just walked in on you changing

He quickly runs out of the room and avoids you like the plague (because he's embarrassed that he walked in on you, not because you're a girl)

You confronted him about it and he admitted that he was surprised to realize that you were actually a girl

You lightly teased him over the whole ordeal, much to his embarrassment

He made sure you identified as a girl before openly using those pronouns and correcting your friends

Shinji Kasai: 

Shinji treated you like he treated any guy, basically forcing you to work out with him and insisting that you called him big bro

You worked out with him, Hajime, and Yuki for a while, and they were none the wiser

Until you forgot about training one day.

"YOU ARE LATE TO TRAINING!!" You heard Shinji pound on your door.

"Sorry! I was talking with Sora! I'm getting changed, then I'll head to-" 

Shinji didn't let you finish, nearly busting down the door to the room just to find you half naked.

He low key screamed before covering his eyes and running away, too embarrassed to put the door back 

He couldn't look you in the eyes after that and nearly everything you said made him turn red

He would faint if you ever called him big bro again

Hajime and Yuki have no idea what's going on, and Shinji is too embarrassed to say it, so you're the one telling them

It's a while before Shinji can talk to you without getting extremely red, but him and his friends still welcome you to train with them

Hajime Makunouchi: 

Like Shinji, he thought you were cool and invited you to work out with him!

The two of you went for a jog around the island and did some push-ups until it felt like the both of you were gonna pass out

Eventually, Hajime let you take a water break and you savored every drop before talking about how hot you felt

"Is this what a good workout is?"

"Hell yeah! If you're too hot, you can just take your shirt off." 

You stared at him. 

Bruh moment

"...I'm a girl." 

"....Wait what!?" 

He didn't mind too much, he was just really embarrassed that he told a girl to take her shirt off

You just laughed and told him it was alright

He didn't treat you any differently after that, but would correct people if they misgendered you (after making sure that you identify as a girl)

Syobai Hashimoto: 

He was having a smoke in the monocruise, and minding his own business when he noticed you head into the girls bathroom

"...Whatever. I'm not paid to care." 

He quickly put the pieces together upon realizing that only girls could enter the girls bathroom

Huh...

Still doesn't care.

Mikado Sannoji:

He's the mastermind, who literally planned his killing game plan down to the last detail

He already knew

Nikei Yomiuri:

Like Yuri, he thinks you're a pervert when he sees you enter the girls room

It takes him a few moments to suddenly remember the fact that only girls could enter the girls room

The second you leave, be prepared to be bombarded with questions

"What a scoop! Y/n is actually a girl! Do you identify as a boy? Why didn't you correct us?!"

Honestly, there's a chance he already knew since he scanned your file before the killing game started, but he pretended to be surprised for the sake of appearing oblivious and for the scoop

[adream-melody]

!! Hello!! I hope you're having a nice day... Or night? Or maybe this is a dream... Um!! If you have time... Could you... Write about different dates? Where they would go with MC the very first time, even if it's a friend date for the first outing! It can be anything. It can be any gender too... I would rather see your preferences... Starish... Quartet Night... Heavens... You should pick your favorites only when you write it... Or do as you like... Either way I will read it the way you choose to write it... ✨

-Pankeki-kun 🥞

Pankeki-kun! Welcome… You are too kind. Actually, I know many people dislike them, but I am a big HEAVENS fan. Thank you for giving me the choice so I could write something for them…! Sorry for the delay… I had the Sickness We Shall Not Mention, but I am all better now!

HEAVENS and first dates

Eiichi, thanks to his father, has a bit of a complex, so wants to look as cool and interesting as possible in front of his date. His hobby is car racing, so he perhaps would take his date to see a race or try it for themselves - if they are not interested in driving, he can always invite them into his own car to see him drive and experience the adrenaline or racing anyway. To decompress, he would take his date to a fancy restaurant with light food so they could later take a walk back through a park before he drives his date home.

During said walk is probably where you two would get to talk the most. The breeze of the early night is nice, the dark is comforting, and the park is empty so it’s an especially nice place to open up and talk about what you experienced together. It’s also the perfect moment for him to try and flirt a little under the disguise of the starry sky~

Eiji would try to play it safe, and take his date to a classic first date location like a café after watching a movie together. He’ll try his best to pick a movie that his date would like as a way to win some extra points (not without easing the topic in conversation before even gathering the courage to ask his crush out on a date), but if not, he would be the kind to simply ask his date what they wanted to watch.

And although a movie is not the best place to talk and get to know each other, it will give him the chance to see if you felt comfortable with him or not, and it also gives him something to talk about afterwards if by any chance talking about yourself feels a bit too much for now. It’s a safe pick that won’t require much preparation, but also something simple and relaxing that can become a habit for you too and give you more opportunities to see each other and grow closer together.

Kira is a bit self conscious of his stoic face and his struggle to voice his emotions, so he would probably also take his date to a place where he doesn’t need to talk much. He enjoys music, naturally, and he also can play the piano so he’s knowledgeable in classical music, so perhaps he would take his date to an orchestra recital. The place and the low lighting would make it easier for him to evaluate your reactions as well, to plan for a later hypothetical date.

He is interested in pottery as a hobby, so maybe if things go well, he’ll plan a later date for the both of you to attend a pottery class together. That also allows him to keep quiet yet still spend time with you, but it also helps him show a part of himself that not everybody knows. He will probably make a specially nice piece based on what you like and give it to you once it’s done, as a way to remember a special time for him and hopefully for you as well.

Nagi would try to take his date to a place that shows the best, and cutest, part of himself. He’d try his best to make sure his date was a fun place where it felt like the time flew by and where his date had a lot of different choices so there was no chance of becoming boring - something like build-a-bear, or an arcade.

He’ll make sure you take a souvenir with you, that being the plushie you make or a prize he won through a claw machine or with tickets at the prize shop of the arcade, so whenever you see this prize you would think of him. He might even try to swap prizes with you - he’s going to make sure the thing you get from him is as close as how cute he is so you don’t get to forget about your first date together!

Yamato loves to move his body and really enjoys sports, so he would probably take his date to do something like indoor rock climbing. It gives him a chance to show off something he’s confident in as well as having an excuse to get close to his date while showing correct hand placement on the rocks and the right and safest way to tie a harness.

If you have a good time he’d be over the moon and say you two can go together again whenever you want to. If you had a hard time and don’t want to go back, he’d apologise and to make it up for you, he’ll let you pick the place for the next date. A win-win.

Shion would probably take his date to a place like a bird café at first, and later something like a greenhouse. If things go well, he might even take them to an observatory or the like. He’s a bit insecure and he gets overwhelmed easily, so he would rather go to a quiet and calm place given that he’s already feeling quite nervous after asking his crush out. He’ll try to invite his date to places that he likes in an effort to show parts of himself in a way that’s not too obvious.

The secret here is asking him about things - birds, stars, whatever is that catches his attention, and be patient with him and be an avid listener. He’d probably be worried about being too pushy about his interests, so he might be a bit tense at the start of the date, but he’ll probably feel more confident after you spend a bit more time with him (but luckily, not yet so relaxed that he falls asleep!).

Van would take his date to somewhere fun and with a great energy, like a stand-up or manzai show or maybe even out dancing. He’s an energetic man, so it’s only natural that those were the places that would attract him the most - and it also gives him a great chance to improvise some corny jokes and pick-up lines to try to make his date laugh, too; something versatile so that he can also have a private moment with his crush and be able to chat.

If you enjoy yourself, he’ll probably keep an eye on interesting events just so he could ask you out again. A bar with live jazz music, an interactive play, a themed restaurant - just leave the entertainment to him, and with his enthusiasm you are definitely going to have a good time.

herculean (drrr x f!reader) - chapter 34

chapter 34 - found

synopsis: you're home.

word count: 4,856

warnings:

“i may never ever rise above you i may stumble as i lose my way i may never find the words to tell you oh, believe me oh my heart, i want you to be strong, i need you to be all i believe in,, all i believe in - the magic numbers

It’s…oddly warm.

Not the blistering kind of warmth that stings your skin, or the thick and sweltering warmth that conjures sweat from your brow. A gentle, comforting warmth--paired with softness. It surrounds you, but doesn’t suffocate. A contented sigh brushes past your lower lip. Your body burrows deeper into the feeling, relishing in silky cotton. 

Cotton…?

Awareness slowly catches up with the sensation, struggling to put any puzzle pieces together. Most of your fuzzy consciousness continues to seek comfort over comprehension. However, the fuzziness is fleeting--chased away by your gradually sharpening senses.

The feeling of cushion goes hand in hand with the smell of linen, fresh and warm. You’re suddenly aware of your own tongue, pressed against the roof of your mouth. As it runs against your bottom teeth, the stale and cottony flavor almost makes you grimace.

A soft rustling pulls you outward. It could almost be from your shifting, but it’s too far away--that is, until it grows closer. A tinny clattering, like metal against metal. A soft exhale--a human sound. The clattering resounds once more, this time uncomfortably close to your ears.

The indignant noise rises from you involuntarily. A sharp breath follows closely after it--once again, not from you. You register the tension between your knit brows. Underneath, your eyelids begin to flutter, claiming sight as the final piece of the puzzle.

An array of warm neutrals blur together. The abstract sight is almost pleasant. Calming. A tilt of your head fills the picture with bright white. It makes you squint, stark against the muddy colors. The blob of white fluctuates, oddly unable to keep still. You blink once. Twice. Three times, trying to will the obtrusion out of your peaceful picture.

“....ou’re…wake!”

The sound startles you awake as if you’d been dropped into ice water. Suddenly, all of the warm blurs become sharp and bright. Too bright. The stark white takes the specific shape of long arms and lanky torso. You look up and see a mop of mousy hair atop a pair of black frames.

Your heart begins pounding and your brain moves too slowly to understand why. A cry tries to tumble out of you, but dies in your crackled throat. You don’t realize you’ve been lying down until your torso shoots up, abandoning cotton and comfort. 

A dull throbbing echoes through your head, immediately punishing you for the sudden movement. You hiss, hands flying up to cradle your temples. There’s a pressure on your shoulders, willing you to lie back down. You start to panic again, until you further register the touch. It’s gentle, executed by lithe, cautious hands.

“Woah, easy…you oughta be gentle with yourself right now.”

The voice that had so quickly roused you now mirrored the touch that accompanied it. Light. Soothing. 

Under the mop of hair, you see gray eyes. Under the black frames, you see a pacifying smile. A lab coat. A blue necktie.

“Shinra…?” Your voice is weak from lack of use, but the gleam of recognition in the man’s eyes indicates that he heard you.

“Ah good, looks like your memory’s in one piece! At least of me…Hold on while I grab Celty.”

You stare at the man’s retreating back before your gaze drifts up to the ceiling. The color was very familiar, but you’re not sure where you’d seen it before. You glance to your right at the nightstand beside you. A tray occupies the space, piled with various items. You can only point out a few folded cloths, a thermometer, and two glasses of water. Right beside it, a small picture frame is perched on the corner. 

Shinra beams at you from behind the frame, shadows wrapped around him as Celty stands in the background, arms crossed shyly.

You could only surmise that this was a room within their home.

That’s right, Shinra and Celty…your friends. Er, acquaintances. The former, an acquaintance, and the latter, a friend. Shinra was plenty nice, but you weren’t quite as close to him as your other friends.

As your train of thought continues, a foreboding feeling creeps up the back of your neck.

Other friends.

Something invisible looms over you, and you can’t help but feel like you’re missing something. You squint your eyes again, willing yourself to think just a little more clearly.

Why am I here again?

The nagging feeling grows stronger.

How did I even get here?

You barely notice the door opening again.

What hap…

It’s the sight of Celty’s bright yellow helmet that slams you fully into reality. You slowly sit up, eyes wide and jaw gaping. Clarity floods your brain in the form of memories and snapshots. Izaya’s apartment. Your apartment. Your father…your captor. The rooftop. Hoisting him into the night sky. Your friends watching. 

The mattress sinks a little beside you. A bright screen appears in your vision, and it takes you a few bewildered blinks before you can read it.

“How are you feeling?”

The words ground you before your mind can spiral too far out of proportion. Your eyes move to Celty, catching your reflection in the glass of her helmet. Your lips twitch with the impulse to answer, but something holds you back. Celty pulls the screen back, quickly typing something else.

“That’s okay, I’m sure you're tired. Shinra’s gonna check on you for a bit, okay?”

You glance at Shinra, who seems to take it as a signal. He grabs a few things from the tray beside you and approaches the bed. You notice, gratefully, that he doesn’t join Celty in sitting next to you. The doctor only leans forward, prompting you to take a thermometer between your lips. Leaving the gadget in your mouth, he flashes a small light into your left, then right eye. He removes the thermometer and places a stethoscope on your chest in one swift motion. You plainly comply with each little test. 

“She’s looking pretty good!” Shinra happily reassures Celty, more concerned with her peace of mind than yours. Celty’s shoulders drop in relief. Another message appears before you.

“Thank goodness. The others will be glad to know you’re okay.”

The words briefly confuse you, and then you notice it. Quiet murmurs, dampened by the closed door. It had to be several different voices. They were out there. Unease swirls in your stomach. Celty seems to notice immediately.

“I won’t tell them you’re awake yet. Not until you’re ready. But they’ll be happy to see you. I know I am.”

“Celty even took it upon herself to get you cleaned up and into some comfy clothes! Don’t worry, I didn’t peek or anything…I’m more into the pale and headless typ--”

Shinra’s face is overtaken by pure blackness. Through strands of shadows, you can still make out the crooked smile and amused flush on his face. Celty stands and slugs the man’s shoulder.

The corners of your mouth turn upward, a small huff of laughter sneaking through without your permission. The sound instantly draws their attention back to you. Your lips snap shut into a thin line. You stare down at the duvet as embarrassment warms your face. A light weight on your shoulder pulls you from your internal scolding.

Celty’s touch is soft against your clothed skin. 

“We’ll leave you alone for now. Just call for us if you need anything.”

She watches you take in the message. Pulling the screen back to her chest, she briefly considers something. She decisively produces another message.

“You’re going to be okay. We’re all on your side, no matter what.”

Once she’s sure you’ve finished reading, she beckons for Shinra to follow her. You want to respond so, so badly. Tell them thank you, ask them to stay--but you can’t find the courage. Their forms disappear, the door shutting softly behind them. 

It’s instantly worse. You’re fully awake and coherent now. You can hear every soft step down the hall and hushed voice in the living room. Longing swirls in the pits of your stomach. Your friends were at an arms reach, after you’d hid from them for so long.

How were you supposed to face them?

Panic and anxiety muddle with the longing--a painful cocktail that steals the breath from your lungs.

How were you supposed to explain everything?

“You’re going to be okay. We’re all on your side, no matter what.”

No matter what.

The words sink deeper into your brain. They slip down to the base of your skull, down your spine. They warm your arms all the way to the tips of your fingers. 

I can’t keep doing this.

You force a watery inhale, resolve intermingling with the oxygen. You remember the dreams you’d had. You remember their kind faces and words to match--all a figment of your imagination, yet so tangible. There was no fighting it anymore.

I can’t keep hiding.

You needed them.

I…

Your legs are surprisingly steady underneath you. The softness of the gray rug tickles your feet. It turns into cold tiled floor as you reach for the bedroom door. The click of the door is quiet against the loud pounding in your ears.

I am worth saving.

...

For the first few hours, it had been silent.

The tension was too thick. They could only sit there, staring at each other. More restless ones, like Saburo, would pace around the room, unable to stay still. The patient ones, like Anri, never left their spot, only breaking concentration to spare a hopeful glance at the bedroom door. Shizuo was right in the middle, unable to sit, but never daring to stray from his spot against the wall.

What was there to say? There was so much to process after everything they’d witnessed. Many questions were left unanswered, leaving them with the horror of filling in the blanks. They’re scared. They’re angry. They’re relieved that they found you.

It was Erika who finally broke the silence.

“Saburo, how much gas you got left?”

The man was startled hearing his name after such a long period of silence. He tilted his head at Erika dumbly.

“Uh…”

“There’s gotta be some good takeout nearby.” Saburo straightened with understanding. Everyone stirred, roused by the mention of food. Erika took in the reaction, standing decisively. 

“We shouldn’t all starve waiting here, and I’m not gonna make Shinra and Celty cook. We’ll have something ready for (Y/N), too.”

They watched as she picked up her bag and made her way to the door, motioning at Saburo. Suddenly, Mikado stood, quickly following her.

“I-I’ll help, too! It’ll be a lot to carry.” Erika gave him an affirmative nod.

“Here,” Shizuo suddenly said as she passed him. He digs in his pocket before pulling out a clump of bills. The man’s eyes were unreadable through his glasses, but Erika only smiled, accepting the money.

“We’ll be back!” She regarded the room with a secure smile before exiting. 

The three returned an hour later, each hauling large paper bags that admittedly smelled divine. Small boxes were slowly arranged across the coffee table, holding a myriad of noodles, rice, vegetables, and meats. Erika took it upon herself to personally hand each person a packet of napkins and chopsticks. Without needing to say it, the woman sternly made it clear that everyone would be eating. Everyone tentatively began to make their selections, unfolding the boxes of their choosing and digging in.

Tension melts from Anri’s shoulders as she chews her first bite. Her anxiety had pulled a blanket over how hungry she was. The girl was not alone, the room slowly filling with the sound of chewing and contented hums and sighs. The takeout boxes rapidly disappeared as everyone had their fill. Mikado leans over the few remaining boxes.

“I hope there’s something here that (Y/N) likes,” he admits quietly. Erika smiles victoriously at him.

“There should be! There’s a good bit of curry left, she’ll love that. I got plenty of fried rice too.”

“Let’s put the rest away, then,” Kyohei nods. “I’m sure she’ll be hungry.”

“Do you think we could make some tea…?” Anri asks no one in particular. She gazes down at her empty to-go box, fiddling with her chopsticks. “I think…she might like some. It’d be nice to have it ready for her.”

“That’s a great idea, Anri.” Mikado reassures her with a smile. It quivers from his nerves, but comes from a genuine place.

“I’m on it!” Shinra sings. Ever the house husband, he’d already begun clearing discarded containers and bags.

The silence had been cracked open with a hammer, the tension dissipating along with it. Unease still bubbled under the surface, but everyone decided to fight through it. You couldn’t wake up to such a heavy atmosphere.

No, you deserved to wake up somewhere safe, and be welcomed with food, tea, and open arms.

Time stretched into the early evening, the group sipping on tea and making small talk. Under different circumstances, it might’ve been a pleasant get together. This group was familiar with each other, but nothing had brought them together in a circumstance like this. The only thing that would make it even better…was your presence.

Celty and Shinra had just returned from their routine check-up. The latter simply says that you’re still resting. The perceptive ones are suspicious of the vague statement, but bite their tongues. Why had Shinra come to get Celty this time? The group makes an effort to be quiet and maintain the peace. However, the murmurs are just loud enough that no one detects the padding of bare feet against the hardwood floor. A dark T-shirt and sweatpants blend in against the neutral tones of the walls.

It’s Shizuo who shifts from his position against the wall. He suddenly becomes alert, crossed arms dropping to his sides. His jaw falls open, eyes trained towards the bedroom where you had laid.

Then Erika notices Shizuo. Following his gaze, she spares a glance over her shoulder. Others then follow suit, looking over their own shoulders or leaning to the side to see what people were looking at.

Despite their previous efforts, the room suddenly goes still.

You shrink as everyone’s eyes fall on you.

“U-um…hey…”

A lump clogs your throat, preventing you from saying anything further. Your hands flex and clench into fists at your sides. Wherever you look, you make eye contact with the next person. You finally decide to stare at the floor, unable to meet anyone’s eyes.

It occurred to you that you probably should have made a plan before bolting out here. What the hell were you supposed to say…? How do you act? Like yourself? Or…. 

For a moment, you attempt to muster a cheerful smile--a smile that the former you would have. However, it quickly drops, your muscles too weak to hold it up. It feels almost painful. Your heartbeat speeds as you fumble for something to do.

A sudden movement pulls you, and everyone else, out of focus. Anri stands abruptly. You all stare at her as she tiptoes into the kitchen. Her back briefly faces the room before she turns again, holding something hefty in her hands. The girl's face is soft as she tips the kettle towards a small tea cup, filling it to the top. 

You take in a sharp breath as she approaches you. A small instinct inside you wants to run away, but you stay planted. Anri holds the tea cup in front of your chest. You stare at it dumbly before realizing she’s offering it to you. You slowly accept it, the porcelain warming the palms of your hands. She doesn’t stop there, looping her hand around your arm and gently guiding you deeper into the living room.

Your heart pounds as you’re forced to come closer to the group. She leads you to the couch, taking a seat and gazing at you expectantly. It’s the last open spot in the living room, and as you gaze at various people standing or sitting on the floor, you wonder if they had left it open for you.

The weight in your chest subsides slightly at the thought. You comply with Anri’s silent request, sitting on the soft cushion. You stare at the cup of tea in your hands. The green liquid swirls against the ivory, sending floral-scented steam into your face. Your hands move on your own, bringing the teacup to your nose and taking a long inhale. The sweet smell calms you further. Your subsequent gulp of the liquid is embarrassingly large, like the last gulp of whiskey after a long night at the bar. 

Grounded by the earthy taste, you finally face everyone again. They’re clearly anticipating your words. 

“It’s…good to see you…All of you.” The words float from your lips, weightless with the truth that they carried. You see several smiles light up. You soak in each and every one, your fear of eye contact dissipating. It’s the whole group. Anri sits to your right, and Mikado to your left. The van gang sits at the table across from you, Kyohei and Erika seated in scattered chairs, Saburo standing over them, and Walker cross-legged on the floor. Celty sits in the loveseat while Shinra perches beside her on the armrest. Furthest from everyone, Shizuo stands by the wall.

“How are you feeling?” Erika is the first to respond. Her torso is leaned forward, attuned and attentive to you. You don’t know where to start in response to the question--but unlike when Celty had asked, you find it within you to answer.

“Honestly? I’m…a little nervous.” Shitting bricks. “But physically I’m pretty okay. A little groggy.” 

They seem pleased with that, but no one says anything else. You can sense it, the overwhelming question hanging in the air. They’re too polite to ask, they care about you too much--you hope. You take another gulp of tea.

“...I owe you all an explanation.” 

“You don’t owe us anything.” Kyohei stops you from continuing. Your fingers briefly clench around your coffee cup. “I won’t lie, I’m sure we’re all wondering, but only because we care about you. Your safety is more than enough for us.”

His brazen words bring an embarrassing feeling in your gut. Others nod in agreement.

“If you do explain anything, I’d want it to be so that we can support you.” Erika assents. “You don’t have to tell us if you’re not comfortable.”

Through the embarrassment, you find relief washing over you. They were understanding, of course they were. But…would they be understanding of the whole truth? You shake away the thought, gathering your courage instead.

“I want to tell you. I want you guys to know.” You decide. The declaration hangs in the air. There’s no response, but the others stare at you expectantly. They supportively waited, surrendering their full attention. You map everything out in your head, unsure of where to start. Sifting through all your memories, it feels as though you’re remembering from an omniscient perspective. It feels detached, as if history had occurred to a body that wasn’t your own.

In a way, you guess it had.

“...My name is (Y/N) (L/N).” 

There’s no sputter of surprise, or astonished movement. They only wait patiently for you to continue. So, you grant their wish.

You start with what you’re not. You are not Brigall. You’re not 19. You’re not the adopted daughter of a rich scientist. You explain that you were born in America 23 years ago. You grew up there with your mom. As you approach the major turning point of your life, you pause. You almost omit it all together, in fear of how they would react.

“No.” Your eyebrows furrow decisively. “They deserve the truth.”

“I made a huge mistake. I…hurt people.” To finally say the words felt like throwing up. “The damage I did was…irreversible. I’m not proud of it. I ran away from home because of it.”

The words came out vague, but the gravity with which you spoke held many implications. You couldn’t help but search for their reactions. They’re trying to keep them at bay, but the small impulses are there. Kyohei’s brow raises ever so slightly. Saburo’s lips grow a little tighter. Anri’s jaw slackens. Shizuo’s head drops a centimeter. They’ve clearly taken in the information, but the horror and hate that you’re searching for is not there. 

You move on to your abduction. How you were hit by a car and woke up in a strange place. A voice had filled the room, explaining that he intended to keep you there for experiments. He’d kept that promise.

“That day…Th-that video of me. It’s real. He did this. For some sick, twisted experiment.” With each word, you become less detached from the memories. A burning nestles into your chest and works its way up to your nostrils, then your eyes. A mixture of anger and sadness manifests in the form of gathered tears, threatening to fall from your lashes. “He fucked with my memories of everything he did to me, molded me into a different person…and I hadn’t even known until that day.”

You furiously rubbed at your eyes. You’re sure you’ve cried in front of some of them before, but it felt inappropriate right now. You wanted to be stronger. 

You don’t realize how much you had been squeezing the tea cup until it’s pulled from your hands. Soft, pale fingers take its place, running over your palms. Anri’s body is soft beside yours, pulling you back to Earth. She looks at you reassuringly, thumb rubbing over your knuckles. It occurs to you that, ages ago, the roles had been reversed. The thought brings a weak smile to your face.

“You won’t have to worry about him.” Kyohei says.

When you look at him, you’re surprised to see it: thinly veiled anger. His eyebrows knit together and jaw tight. His sleeve wrinkles under the tight grip of his own arm. The disgust you had previously searched for was now visible on everyone's face, their horrors now confirmed.

“What do you mean…?” You ask him slowly. Then the image flashes through you again. Brigall, hoisted up by his neck, dangling over a fatal height.  Horror wracks your body. Your fingers grip Anri’s painfully. “I-I didn’t--!”

“Celty captured you both with her shadows.” Erika dissuades your anxieties quickly. You heave a hefty breath, releasing Anri’s hands. 

“We didn’t know what to do with ‘im besides rip ‘im to shreds!” Saburo gripes, fists stuffed into his pockets.

“The idea was really tempting, but we didn’t want to be too rash without knowing the whole story,” Walker explains. “So we brought him back here.”

...

Celty threw several glances back at your sleeping form as Shinra slowly closed the door. He rubbed her back affectionately, leading her down the hall.

“She’ll be okay, Celty, promise. There’s not a scratch on her.” The white lie dances from Shinra’s smiling lips. Technically, the track mark on your neck wasn’t exactly a scratch. You were okay externally, but there was no telling what you had been injected with. Still, he meant it when he said you’d be okay. He’d make sure of it, for Celty.

“Now, what are we gonna do with this guy?” He asks as they enter the living room. Everyone else is already gathered there, huddled around the front atrium. Shinra peeks through numerous limbs and shoulders at the trembling man on the floor. The man reminded him of his father, sickly pale and a little bit greasy.

“That’s what we’re trying to figure out,” Kyohei grumbles. 

“You could’ve at least let me and Yumaach at him on the way here,” Erika pouts. She’s crouched down to his level, staring him down inquisitively.

“We don’t like you doing that shit with us around!” Saburo responds.

“Well, how ‘bout I just take him downstairs and kill ‘im!?” Shizuo interjects, shoulders hunched like a true predator. In spite of all the frivolous death threats he’s made before, no one doubted that he truly meant it this time. 

“Is that really a good idea, though?” Mikado’s protests are reluctant. “M-Maybe there’s another way…”

“Maybe there is, Mikado!” Shinra’s voice takes everyone off guard. The group parts as he approaches, fully revealing Brigall to him. 

Brigall, encaptured mouth to toe by Celty’s shadows, takes in Shinra’s white lab coat. For a moment, his eyes shine hopefully at the prospect of an ally. Shinra bends at the waist to meet his level.

“It’s nice to formally meet you, doctor! My name is Shinra Kishitani.” The hope in Brigall’s eyes quickly dims at the name. “I’m sure you recognize my father’s name. He’s told me so much about you!”

Shinra tauntingly pauses, as if waiting for a response. Obviously, he gets none, thanks to the black gag covering Brigall’s mouth.

“Listen, as a fellow scientist, I’m going to help you out. These guys aren’t feeling too friendly right now…but I’m going to have them let you go!” The bound man perks up at that, hope returning to his face. He nods his head emphatically. “Oh, but we’re going to have to set up a few conditions.”

Everyone watches the exchange with confusion. They bristle at the idea of letting the man go unscathed, but Shinra was clearly hiding something up his sleeve. They allow him to continue.

“You see, my father isn’t the biggest fan of yours. Between you and me, I think it’s because he sees you as a threat, so you should feel flattered. That being said, he’d be more than happy to see you taken down in every way possible.” Shinra straightens, taking the high ground between the two of them. “If he had dirt on you? Let’s say, if he knew you were sneaking around like this behind the board’s back? Man, he’d be all over that!”

The mood of the room shifts quickly. The group begins to understand what Shinra is getting at. This includes Brigall, whose eyes widen in realization. Shinra’s smile suddenly takes a sinister turn. The light catches his glasses, obscuring his eyes. 

“They might be understanding if you’d had a finished product to show them…but with the lack of results you’ve got now? There’d be serious consequences. I’m sure you know what I mean.”

...

You can only stare back in shock as they recount the events to you. When they explain what Shinra had done, you turn to him. The man only sits there with a simple smile on his face. You had always sensed something peculiar about him. Admittedly, it distanced you from him in comparison to the others. Of course, the man was capable of pulling off such a clever plan--but to do such a thing for you ? You were indebted to him.

“I told him if I heard any complaint on your part, I’d be running to my dad. I imagine he’ll continue to support you financially, so you’ll be living pretty cozy for a while! As long as you want, of course.” Shinra explains breezily. You catch how Celty places a hand on his forearm, staring up at him with adoration. His smile quirks into a pleased little smirk.

“Wow, I…don’t know what to say.” You immediately scold yourself. “Th-thank you! All of you…so much. I owe you everything.”

“Keep sticking around, and we’ll call it even.” Walker says.

“No more going off the grid.” Saburo adds. Many people hum their approval of the statement. It makes your heart sink a little. You had left them in the dark to worry about you. You were so caught up in your own angst, you hadn’t considered the pain you caused to other people. 

Your eyes meet Shizuo’s, as much as they can through his glasses. He had been silent the whole time, but you hadn’t minded. You were just happy that he was there to hear you explain everything. You wondered what he was thinking, how he felt. You’d undoubtedly hurt him too. Yet here they were, welcoming you like nothing had happened. The realization breaks a dam within you.

“I’m not the person you all thought I was…or who I thought I was. I might be a bit different from before, but if you’ll have me,” You choke a little on the words. “Y-you're my friends…! I won’t go anywhere!”

There are too many tears to wipe away, so you just let them fall. With each salty drop, your insides feel lighter. A weight lifts from your shoulders and you feel like you could float away. You had held on to this burden alone for so long. You were finally unloading it, bearing your heart to those you most loved, and feared. Your vision blurs, but you can make out moving figures. Soft warmth envelopes you. You register a black sleeve of Erika’s dress and the blue cuff of Anri’s uniform. You lean into the embrace, switching between wet mutters of ‘sorry’s and ‘thank you’s. 

The others look on as the women cradle you affectionately. It’s admittedly awkward to idly stand by such a display, but the discomfort is outweighed by satisfaction and relief.

You’re here. You’re safe.

You’re home.

Actor: Mikado Momodera

MPAA: Mature Audiences (blood)

Your hands were stuck. You looked down at your right hand, and saw it was stuck to that damn momotarou, Mikado. You looked up at him, anger in your eyes.

"Oh please, why are you mad at me? You didn't have to grab my hand."

"Ha!" You huffed and tried to tug your hand away. It was futile, your blood stuck you two together. "You got in my way!"

"It's my job."

"Yeah, well-"

You watched his right hand slip out of view and you tried to turn your body to see him.

"What the hell are-"

He tugged you back, keeping you from seeing his hand. He glared at you, but your leg kicked up and you pushed him back. You were going to remove his hand, or break his wrist trying.

You tugged harder on his hand, twisting your arm around, hoping to hear a-

CRACK!

There it was.

Surprise and pain flashed on his face, and he let out a noise, but tried to fight it down.

"That's what you get, you-"

You stared down the barrel of shotgun.

"This is just to make sure you don't have a chance at survival." He sucked in a sharp breath.

You slipped your left hand away and shot at both of your hands. The pain was enough for you lose your hold on your blood. He pulled away, his gun disappearing for a second. You took this opportunity to hit him with your gun.

"And this is to make sure you don't come after me." You shot his leg and bolted out of the building.

Mikado fell to the ground and he began to breath heavily. He looked up and tried to see if you were around.

"Dammit... let them get away..." He pulled himself up, sighing. "Why did I falter...?"

He began thinking of you and why he didn't shoot when he had the chance. He glared at the ground.

"No... no, it was their fault... it was. I didn't get distracted... they did something."

He limped out of the building, not willing to let the other possible reason as to why he didn't shoot creep inside his head.

But when he ends up writing this down as a scoop, he'll completely forget that you just flat out slapped his ass.

He won't slap your ass back as revenge..but he might if you make this as a habit of slapping his ass with every given opportunity.

Everyone will just watch you chase him around the dining hall trying to slap his ass while he's yelling for you to cut it out.

Setsuka will take a picture of this and tease Nikei later with it which will result in him being grumpy for the next couple days.

You will pay for embarrassing like that (Name)..... 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

ᰔᩚ Teruya Otori ᰔᩚ

Unless you are tall enough, you will have to jump up to slap this man's ass. He's a goddamn tree for pete's sake.

Bro would just be minding his own business making clothes or shit and then you just decided to be sneaky and struck his ass with your hand.

He'll be very confused for the most part before his cheeks turn red and he'll begin asking you why you did that.

He will have the same reaction if you slap his ass and then run away while laughing enough for him to know.

He might follow after you afterwards thinking you're playing a game of sorts if he hasn't already caught on with what you're trying to do.

Probably won't slap your ass back because he gets way too flustered to do so. Poor bby is just a victim of your ass slapping :(

He'll get tired of you slapping his ass that he's gonna do something about it. He'll give you that same sinister look he gave to everyone in the break room.

Don't worry he didn't do anything bad, he just made you wear some of the clothes that he made in public to make you flustered. 💚💚💚💚💚

ᰔᩚ Shinji Kasai ᰔᩚ

Face is completely red and stops functioning for the rest of the day. Are you trying to kill this man (Name)?

This man always gets flustered with every physical affection you give to him and now you made him have an overload from you slapping his ass. >:C

Shinji will just be talking to someone and the next sec is his face being completely red and him freezing over.

The person he's talking to will be confused on why he's so red.

By any chance he doesn't melt over, he'll be a stuttering mess and quietly asking you why you did that.

Give him a warning next time :(

Like Teruya he won't slap your ass back. He's way too shy to pull off something like that. He'll just tickle you instead. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

ᰔᩚ Yuki Maeda ᰔᩚ

Flustered boi 2.0

What other reaction would you be expecting other than his cheeks being red as a tomato and him giving you a confused/worried look?

He's so flustered he can't even mutter out a single word other than staring at you in confusion. Dear god help this man.

WILL NOT slap you back. He's too embarrassed and shy to do so. (He might get Shinji to do it for him and then apologize afterwards)

HELP! WHY DID THIS TAKE SO LONG?! I'M SO SORRY FOR BEING ON HIATUS .⁠·⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠(⁠>⁠▂⁠<⁠)⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠·⁠..⁠·⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠(⁠>⁠▂⁠<⁠)⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠·⁠.

A Path to Destruction

*Sort of Victorian AU or Fairytale AU ( I got this inspiration from Maji LOVE Kingdom Heaven’s peformance)

You have received a letter that guarantee all rights to a castle which your long distant relative once owned. However, there seems to be some people who already lived there...

If you had known from the start how deep the forest would be, you had never accepted the invitation in the first place. Being on rather from humble upbringings, with no parents or relatives in this world you could rely on, since all of them died in the latest plague, with you being the sole survivor, you had never dreamed of your family owning a castle, as it said in the invitation along with a golden heart shaped key necklace with a large stone that glowed in different colors in the middle of the heart shaped key.

There was just one problem. The castle, as it said in the letter, lied in the deepest parts of the forest which was very far away from the village you lived and grew up. The people of the closest town all shook themselves in fear once you asked of the rumors about the castle, saying that they do not want to be involved, leaving you with no clues. Your old brown skirt was ripped due to nearby thorn bushes, and dark blue simple shoes were worn out from all the walking, not to mention the white blouse being dirty from the dirt, and your y/h hair was messy.  Furthermore, the dim light from the full moon was your only guidance among the dark forest, with low growls all around. 

As you walked with tired feet, you saw a dimly lit glow in a distance straight ahead. Desperate for any information, you started to dash with the pain of your feet increasing. The forest grew deeper, vines growing thicker, the dim moonlight glowing thinner, trees being larger within every step, blocking the views of others, or perhaps with will.... Could it be that they are trying to hide you from the outside world? 

As the dimly lit glow became closer, you spotted an old-fashioned streetlight glowing dimly. As you got closer and closer to the light, a faint note of a slightly creepy playing of the pipe organ welcomed you into this unknown lair. The streetlight was only the part of what surprised you, as you saw a giant castle which glowed in a fiery green and blue color with the lights of the castle turning on in order.  The heart shaped key necklace hung around your neck, suddenly pulled you with great force to the gates as it glowed in a bright orange-red color, unlocking it with ease. “Wait!!! Why... What’s happening?” You screamed as the necklace continued to pull you into the castle grounds, failing to notice again the heavy sound of the gates locking, and 14 pair of suspicious eyes glowing inside, smiling as they knew, you were walking on the path to destruction.

Kuro here; but I am curious how you write IRL noji so I’ll give a brainworm.

Office assistant that he gradually grows very attached to and starts leaving cryptic little notes, gifts etc. like a not so subtle secret admirer. Androgynous reader if you can ✨

I had to google what androgynous meant, I feel ashamed -_-"

But! Coming right up!

OFFICE LOVE: IrKado Sannoji x Androgynous reader (SPOILERS).

-For him, he felt interested in you the moment you started working for Kokoro.

-Why would she get another helper for her investigation about emotions? What was up with that? He wanted to know more about them.

-He was indifferent, treating you with kindness of course, but there was something about your smile that gave him butterflies in his stomach.

-Yeah, he was very much in love with you, and it took him a month to catch feelings

-One day, he saw you down, so he decided to leave a little note on your desk. "Hey, I think I got blinded by your beauty, bcaause it compares to one of an angel ˆˆ!"

-Yes, he did get this from the Internet, he didn't have anything creative to put.

-But hearing your adorable laughter and seeing your cute smile made him want to leave more little notes to you.

-At first, it was just once or twice every month, mostly when you were feeling down, but it slowly started becoming once or twice a week, to one a day.

-You were so confused by how many sticky notes with funny pick-up lines or compliments you were getting, but it made your day, so you didn't question it. Mostly because you had a small suspicion it was your fellow office mate with cute glasses.

-He then started leaving gifts on your desk. It varied from different flowers like tulips or roses to things you wanted but couldn't really afford that well.

-Things that you saw when hanging out when Mikado. He took mental note of them and got them for you.

-Overall, while you know it's mostly his doing (mostly due to his lack of acting when you show him), you preffer staying quiet as you really appreciate his efforts to cheer you up.
