Wdym Mikey didn't say this before the wedding???

[mochikofi]

"Good girl" respectfully, please kindly wrap yung hands around my neck and slowly fuck me and call me your good girl all over again.

i wish we could've had mad gear and missile kid shows

lots and lots of fallout sketches; some lone wanderer and charon, some nick and sole survivor

[suburbanblkgirll]

My favorite headcanon is that the Avenged Sevenfold Bat Country music video is in the Zones

Is it solely because the music video takes place in the desert? Yes. All the craziness in the music video? Then simply partied a little too hard, or that’s just how Zone Four usually is, nobody questions it really.

I can just imagine the Fab Four passing by them and going “🧍🏻🧍🏻🧍🏽🧍🏼” Cause come on, why do you have a whole freaking pet octopus living in your tub??? 😭😭 in the middle of the desert nonetheless… THEN AGAIN IT’S ZONE FOUR so they don’t question it

Party Poison doesn’t like Synyster Gates, and insists there’s a “bad feeling” about him (He stole their parking spot once and now they’re forever salty about that)

[just-sp-in-inginthevoid]

It's funny how widely different the Sano brothers are at naming their gang

Izana's is a good one, it's a heroic tale, he read it as a kid - cute ! - there's not much to say, it works

Mikey sucks at naming things and knowing what it was supposed to be at first, Tokyo Manji is a bit silly and funny

Shinichiro... when you know, it's disturbing. Wtf man. Wtf. An abolished ultranationalist organization is NOT something to name your gang after. The coincidence is too big to be one how did you even learn about that organization Japan never talks about its historical wrongs

chapter two.

imaginary friend!Baji x child! Reader (PLATONIC!!)

warnings: female reader, usage of female pronouns, dramatics at the end/ plot twist??, fluff, rushed again lol, toddler reader

(y/n) = your name

“You can touch my hair but don’t mess it up!” The tall pale teen grumbled as (y/n) playfully reached up, staring into his eyes every once in a while to check if he was mad or not. She stretched her small chubby hands on Baji’s scalp messing around with his dark glistening hair. Distracted by how soft Baji’s hair was, the little girl allowed Baji a minute to contemplate on what had occured just a few moments ago. The little girl was terrified of Baji! She was trembling just from the thought of his existence, convinced he was a ‘scary ghost’ . He was so lost in thought he failed to notice himself slipping away from reality and into his own thoughts. Just a few moments ago the small child playing calmly with his hair wanted to do nothing with the boy! But with just a simple offer and relaxed stance; she was completely won over.

Baji relaxed a bit as he recalled how easily he had composed her as she previously thought he was a ‘scary’ ghost that was going to haunt her. First the girl cried; then he kneeled down, sitting criss-cross allowing her easier access to him while offering to let her play with his hair. “How about this..you can play with my hair or whatever. I’ll stay calm and let you, then you’ll know I’m a nice ghost, right?” Baji had offered originally, thinking the girl would refuse but instead she immediately warmed up while awkwardly approaching him. He brought his big strong hands over to gently pick her up and bring her towards him with a quiet sigh escaping his lips. 

────── · · ୨୧ · · ──────

A large tug on his long black locks brought his attention back to reality as he whipped his head around to stare silently at the girl. “Don’t tug!” He gruffed out while giving (y/n) a slight glare. He earned a small ‘sorry’ from her before he turned his head back around, still slightly sour at being brought out of his thoughts so quickly. Baji grew even more curious once he stopped feeling her small hands exploring his head and instead felt them wrap around his head and neck with a vicious grip; followed by the added weight of the girl on top of his shoulders which put the boy off balance at first but he quickly composed himself to not look ‘weak’ to her. 

“Why are you on my shoulders? Hop off.” Baji plainly stated while giving the girl a rather dead stare. “No! Mr.Squiggles needs to learn to not scare me again!” (Y/n) cutely huffed out, tightening her grip on his hair and face while securing her ‘seat’ on top of Baji’s large shoulders. (Y/n) had asked something else of him which had caught the teen quite off guard, “You’re my new pillow.” His eyes squinted a bit before fully taking in what the girl had said, before Baji had known it a small smile made its way on his face. “Oh really? Well my head isn’t exactly comfy. Why don’t you hop off my shoulders and into my lap?” He had offered to try and lure the girl off of his sore shoulders and onto his pain-free lap. She lit up at the offer, almost immediately hopping off the boy and crawling into his lap with delight. 

The little toddler fell asleep very quickly once she had settled herself onto Baji’s comforting lap. While she napped he absentmindedly started stroking her hair softly while she snored quietly snuggled into his large lap. Baji had lost track of how much time must have passed by since she fell asleep due to his rushing mind numbing the outside world but the sound of the girl's supposed mother walking around the house definitely grabbed his attention. His heart immediately started racing attempting to quickly think of a plan to hide on the spot, he hurriedly glanced around the room until he had spotted a table he could prop up to create a hiding spot.

He gently pushed the girl off of his lap and stood up with incredible speed while stepping over to the mini play-table, grabbing it by the frames, and flipping it onto one side to create an obvious but easy hiding space. He had just narrowly avoided the girl's mother coming up the stairs to check on her sweet girl in her playroom upstairs as he ducked behind the created blind spot. He carefully peaked out to check when the mother would leave but instead saw her sitting down on her knees next to her sleeping toddler, brushing her soft fingers over her child’s face before glancing over at the weirdly positioned table.

Baji knew she would see him as he ducked his head quickly back behind the table as he heard her steps nearing him and his little hiding spot. Baji began quickly mentally preparing himself to possibly receive a beat-down by the girl's mother in fear or the girl's mother rushing him out of the house with the police on stand-by. He clenched his fists before looking up hopelessly only to see the mother grab the very table he was hiding behind and repositioning the table back to its original position without even acknowledging his existence. 

Baji stared at the mother in disbelief before standing up and bravely standing right in front of the mothers path, only for the woman to just walk through him? The teen froze as he stood in utter disbelief. She didn’t even react? Or look at him? How on earth did she even walk through him? He stood silently as he racked his brain for possibilities of how this occurred before the simple but genius thought occurred to him, he was an imaginary friend of (y/n)’s.

listen to me. no listen to me. we already kind of knew that whoever becomes king is going to have pretty much total control over the ancient weapons (and i’m saying that with heavy quotation marks bc like. poseidon is a sixteen year old girl, and that’s a whole other can of worms that begs a slew of other questions) but the world as a whole didn’t, and the revs are all about keeping power in check. luffy’s one of the top contenders for the one piece. sabo knows him and knows he doesn’t care about power, ivankov knows him, dragon’s his father who stepped away to keep him safe, and koala and hack have met him, but the rest of the revs know jack shit. this is the perfect time for dragon to finally mobilize and for the story to put sabo on the spot, because now his loyalties are torn. son of the revolution he may be, but luffy’s his little brother.

To Be a Princess

Chapter 4

Last/Next

fem!reader x kokonoi/bonten

TW: Disordered eating, Mass murder, Depersonalization, Poor proofreading

A/N: This is pretty heavy because I've been in a rough place recently. Read with discretion.

The last two months have effectively blurred into each other. It’s been all the same. You wake up, Hajime dresses you, and you go nowhere. He leaves and if you’re lucky, Haruchiyo is forced to watch you. If you’re unlucky, you’re cuffed to the bed and stuck in your room all day. 

“Eat this and we can go.” Hajime slides you a decently sized pork cutlet sandwich and you get to work on it without a second thought. 

It hurts your stomach to eat so much after such a long time of eating so little. Your throat is even rejecting it a little. It takes more energy to chew and swallow than you’d anticipated. You definitely should be taking it slower, but you need to get out of this place. You’ve been going stir-crazy. 

At least it’s a really good sandwich. Even if it pains you to eat and give him what he wants, you can appreciate a good piece of meat.

When you’re done, you slide the plate to him, and he kisses your forehead.

“Thank you.” He smiles.

✮✮✮

It’s good that Hajime is letting you tag along today because you’ve started to eat the stuffing in your pillow. Not a lot. Maybe a fistful. A decent fistful every day for about a week. He hasn’t noticed, or if he has, he’s kept his mouth shut. But you try your best to hide it. You re-fluff the pillow you keep pulling down out of and flip it, so the torn side isn’t showing. If you eat any more feathers, you might get sick though, and that’s not ideal. You should be sick, right? If you are, you haven’t noticed.

“So, do you like Haruchiyo?” Hajime asks, not taking his eyes off of the road.

“He’s alright. Weird. But he smells good. I think his teeth are fake.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.” It’s a lot to explain. You realized it once when the Haitanis were over. Rindou has charmingly, somewhat crooked teeth and Ran’s teeth are perfect. Sanzu’s teeth are good at passing for real when you don’t look too hard or have anything to compare them to. 

“Not all of them are fake.” Hajime says matter-of-factly.

“How do you know?” You rest your head against the window.

“I took him to go get the implants.”

“What? What happened?”

“Ran knocked three of them out. All in the front of his mouth.”

“That doesn’t make sense. What do you mean?”

“He does a lot of drugs. His teeth were on their way out, anyway.” Hajime smiles at the thought. “I didn’t want to see him missing so many teeth, though, so I took him to start getting them fixed the next day.”

“Yeah, but why did Ran hit him?”

Hajime shrugs. “There could be several reasons. I think he needed it either way.” He thinks for a second. “I just remember that Haruchiyo came to me with his teeth in his hand and he told me Ran did it. There was so much blood, he kept choking on it when he cried.”

Hajime seems amused by recalling it. He tries to suppress smiles and keep seriousness in his tone, but here and there it sounds like he’s telling you a pleasant dream he had. 

“Why don’t you like him?” You prod. It’s not your business, but in the past months you’ve developed quite the attachment to Haru and while you can see tons of reasons for someone not to like him, Hajime seems deeper than the surface level.

He goes quiet in thought and then starts. 

“He’s a jackass. I know I’m far from being a good person myself, but he takes it to a whole different level. His personality is grating. He doesn’t listen. And while he’s second in charge, it’s only for show. His bullshit falls on me all the time and I’m stuck with work I don’t want.” He clenches his jaw, and his hands tighten around the steering wheel. He seethes, “If being second in command was as simple as sucking Mikey’s dick, anyone could do it.”

“Wow.”

“Don’t get me wrong, it’d be easier to not hate him if he was incompetent. Okay? But he’s not. He’s very smart, and that’s what gets on my nerves. It’s like he does dumb shit on purpose, and I always have to fix it.”

“Must suck.”

“It does, but it’s fine. I’m going to outlive him.”

✮✮✮

A black-haired man slides up to your open window and starts talking before you can process who he is or what he’s saying. 

“I’m sorry, what?”

“Oh, uh, they’re in his glove box. The cigarettes. I just need one.” He’s a very polite man. Very handsome too. Even with the scar marking a solid quarter of his face. 

You’ve met him before, right? At the club? Had to be.

“Here.” You hand him the cigarette.

He starts to walk away but stops in his tracks. “You don’t want to get out?”

He’s opening your door and offering you his hand before you can think about it. You take it. How could you not?

“It’s weird that he left you in the car when it’s so hot.” He guides you to where a group of people are standing and talking.

For the first time in the fifteen minutes that you’ve been here, you realize that you’re in the middle of an empty shipping yard.

You look around at all the faces and then turn around to take in the entire scene. A bunch of well-dressed men in an empty shipping yard? What the fuck is going on?

“Calm down.” A friendly voice cuts through all the noise.

Rin. Why?

He checks his phone. “Kakucho, Mikey needs you. Keep your phone on you.” He says to the man that guided you here.

Kakucho walks away.

Something’s not right. Where’s Koko? Why are you here?

“Rin, I want to go home.”

He looks at you as if he’s considering helping you. Your eyes dart around, and you see Takeomi laughing with a man who has severe eyebrows and a goatee. You’ve seen him before. Other men are laughing too, but you’re not acquainted. You should leave.

“Let’s go over here,” Rindou says as he leads you to the side of his SUV where no one can see you.

“What is going on?” You ask plainly. “Why are we here?”

He scratches his head. “We have to kill a couple of people.”

“No.”

“What do you mean, no?”

The sun feels hotter. Your palms feel sweatier even through your sheer black gloves. You want to run, but you can’t in these heels, so you walk. Or so you start to walk. Rindou grabs your arm and pushes you right back against the door.

“I can’t. I can’t. Please.” Your nose tingles at the onset of tears. 

“You will be fine.”

“No. I won’t. Rin. Please.”

“Stop fucking crying.” He forces out, irritated. “Do you want something to make you calm down a little? I might be able to find a pill.”

You shake your head.

“Then calm down.”

You try. Your hands smooth over the cotton fabric of your minidress. Once. Twice. Three times. Again, and again and again. But the tears don’t stop. Your head falls to your chest. 

“Fuck.” He grunts. There is a split second where he’s all but throwing you into the backseat. You can feel your dress ride up and you know you flash him and when you’re situated, he looks at his watch as says, “You have about fifteen minutes to cry and then you have to be out there.” Before slamming the door.

You beat at the headrest in front of you and sob. He stands with his back to the door as if nothing is happening. This is why Hajime didn’t put any makeup on you. He saw this coming.

You scream into your hands and the fabric of those sheer polyester gloves burns when it rubs against your eyes. 

You’d give everything not to be you.

The rest of the tears are silent. You lay your head back and just let them fall with the occasional hiccup here and there. There’s no more relief in screaming after it starts to hurt and it never got you anywhere, anyway.

✮✮✮

It’s more people than you’d expected. You count all the way up to twenty-five. Twenty-two grown men in their underwear, heads bowed in shame and their knees pressed to the shipping yard dirt and gravel. One woman and her two kids are in the same position but wearing the clothes they’d go about their daily lives in. Elementary school uniforms and nursing scrubs.

The two kids cry. They’ve done nothing wrong, and they can’t understand what’s going on. 

At least one hundred people are standing around watching this, and you are the only one who seems to feel anything. Rindou has his arm resting over your shoulders and when you look at his face, it’s blank. Ran’s too. 

Kakucho brings in a last man. He’s been beaten. Some of his nails are missing. He limps when he walks. Rindou and his brother titter. Of course they find this is funny. How long has it been since they’ve been full people?

The man bows to the detained before turning his back to them and getting on his knees. There’s a moment of breathlessness before the kids run to be at his side, hugging his half-naked body. They’re screaming and crying and begging their dad to tell them what’s happening. He stays silent. Everyone does.

Twenty-six people in total will die.

Mikey, Haruchiyo and Hajime appear. You can hear every one of their footsteps.

“Apologize to the team you let down.” Hajime isn’t yelling, yet his voice is strikingly clear.

The man yells. “I’m sorry for steering you all wrong and now you have to die because of my mistakes.” He’s shaking. Despite his confident voice, every inch of him is wrought with fear. There’s no denying it.

“Now apologize to them individually,” Hajime commands. The warm wind lifts his hair, and he almost looks like God. Mikey stands silently beside him and Sanzu stalks back and forth between the rows of men with a gun in his hand. You can tell he’s eager to do this. He’s more dressed up than you’ve ever seen him. Everyone is.

“Nakamura Touma!” There’s a loud wail at the sound of the name. “I’m sorry!”

Haruchiyo is quick. There’s the sound of a gun being fired, the woman’s scream, and grown men crying.

It’s real. You see the brain matter splatter on to the people nearest to Touma. You watch everyone flinch at the sound. The kids cower into their father. The woman folds in on herself to sob.

You stand in shock.

“Maekawa Yuichi! I’m sorry!”

It’s nothing for Haruchiyo to kill again. It’s just as fast as the last time. He executes the man with a smile. There are no second thoughts or regrets. He just lines his gun up and pulls the trigger.

This time, you’re not frozen in fear. You turn away at the sound of another namel. You’re faced with Ran’s chest and there’s a scuffle between you and both brothers. They force you to turn around.

It’s just in time for Haruchiyo to locate the man and put him to death. 

“Don’t you ever turn your back. It’s bad manners.” Rindou jeers into your ear. 

Your head falls as you start to cry again. Rindou’s hand comes to your hair to force your head back up. You’re met with an unreadable glance from Hajime. 

The bodies fall name after name. Some men pee on themself before being done away with. It’s too cruel for you. You’ve never wanted to live in a world like this.

The numbers whittle down until the man is left with his wife and kids. 

“Say sorry to your family.” Hajime sounds actually angry. The man doesn’t speak. It seems like the impact comes before the actual kick to the head Hajime delivers. The kids scurry away as Koko yells.

“Tell your wife you’re sorry!” He leans into the man’s ear. “Are you deaf?”

“Emiko!” He projects over the shrill screams of his children. “I’m sorry. Our financial troubles are my fault and I should have told you what was going on. I did this behind your back and it’s my fault—“

The sound of Sanzu’s gun going off is its own sick timer. He’s killed the wife before her husband can fully apologize.

Hajime is stoic. Unbothered. The kids’ screaming explodes into something worse. Something indescribable. They’re the type of screeches that claw at your insides and assure you’ll never be well again. 

“Dead or orphaned?” Sanzu shouts to the man. It’s a question that’s impossible to answer.

✮✮✮

The screams have died. Non-executive members clear out. The Haitanis stay right next to you. Your feet are cemented into the earth. They gather around you as if you’re leading them.

Mikey speaks.

“Mochi, find someone to clean this up by tonight.” His voice is low, the wind is louder. He speaks calmly and precisely. “Rindou. Ran. Find the oldest son and ex wife. Kill them.”

They don’t object. They just nod. 

“I’m going home.” Is the last thing he says before turning away. Haruchiyo trails after him.

They all disperse like nothing happened

Ran pets your head before heading to his car. Rindou bumps you with his elbow before leaving, too. 

It’s like nothing happened.

Blood, piss, the salt of your tears, cologne. You can smell it in the air as you’re dragged back into the car. 

Your stomach churns and your mouth feels like it’s full of slime. There’s spit filling your mouth and in place of crying, you vomit. 

It’s stomach acid and that sandwich. You cough and then more stomach acid comes up. Hajime rubs your back as you lean over. All stomach acid comes up the next time. 

You hyperventilate, trying to catch your breath. Spit drips off of your lips. You start to shake and you’re finally able to make a noise for the first time in minutes. 

You let out a caterwaul. It rips itself through your vocal cords and punches out all the air in your body. 

“It’s okay. You’re okay.” Hajime helps you into the passenger seat as you howl. It’s agony.

When he takes his seat you try to speak, but all you can do is let out tortured noises. 

Your hands reach out to grab him and you bawl into his chest. When his hands come up in an effort to comfort you, something snaps.

You’re swinging without thought, and you don’t stop. You hit everything, but you know you mean to hit him. You punch and slap him over and over. Even the steering wheel is a victim of your fury.

For a moment, Hajime is letting you have this. Then there’s a switch where he’s on top of you with his hands around your neck and your heeled feet flailing to kick him.

It’s cramped, and every sound feels as loud as Haruchiyo’s gun.

“Stop.” He speaks gently as he strangles you.

You manage a sound resembling “why?” but you don’t know what you’re asking it for.

What?

His hair drapes like a beautiful curtain around you. You’re running out of air and your fingers are gripping at his wrists. Your dress is up your back. You can’t calm down.

“I said stop.”

You quit flailing. He lets you go. You hack and sit up as he returns to the driver’s seat.

You sob the entire way home.

“There’s vomit on your dress.” He speaks softly as he unzips you and drops the new dress to the floor.

He slides your gloves off and takes a chance to feel at each of your hands. Next, your bra. He gropes your breasts with fervor. He hasn’t been this rough before a bath, ever.

You can only let it happen. You can see yourself from above as it happens. Your hair is messed up and you’re slouched over like a broken animatronic. You don’t move.

From above, you see him drop to his knees and kiss your stomach. You hear his voice like it’s being played on a shitty speaker.

“I couldn’t think of another way of showing you how well I protect you.”

You see yourself nod.

“You’ve been difficult lately, and I wanted to- I don’t know.” His hands grip at your hips. He puts his forehead against your stomach. “There’s people like that man that would’ve killed you.” He says, muffled.

He looks back up at you with teary eyes. “I’m just trying to keep you safe and I want to take care of you, but—” He searches for the words. “I don’t know how to show you that you’re better here with me.”

Your body nods.

“Please forgive me. I’m sorry.”

He hugs your waist with his face to your stomach.

You stand frozen as you return to your body.
