please, tachibana [yak 0] content please 🙏

please, him and ryuji, im dying

so hungry

tetsu tachibana sfw and nsfw headcanons !

◍ pairing - tetsu tachibana/afab!reader

◍ tags - nsfw, minors dni, no gendered terms or pronouns used, description of prosthetic-related pain, soft dom!tachibana, switch!tachibana, mention of shibari, praise, he'd be such a romantic i cry

◍ a/n - oh my GODD i love tachibana i jumped at the chance to talk about him when i saw this ask!!! i will do ryuji headcanons in a seperate post, so keep ur eyes peeled for that heheh

◍ SFW ◍

ohh my goodness tachibana is probably the most devoted, soft lover in the world

his love isn't loud or possessive - it's soothing, the way he whispers honeyed words to you and presses light kisses to your cheeks

he regards you much like his touch will shatter you, his eyes gleaming with affection every time he gazes upon you, even if there's not a huge grin on his face

treats you to everything and anything you could ever want, going so far to just letting you have a credit card with his name on it - his pockets are deep, and what better to spend all this excess on than on you?

truthfully, your love might throw him for a loop at first - he's so used to using and being used that the fact that you're with him for nothing in return but his affection gives him pause

he eventually relaxes into your relationship after long enough, his paranoid heart soothed that you truly just loved him for him and not for anything he could give you

(not that that stops him from giving you everything he has, anyways)

even if he's unable to keep an eye on you personally, he usually sends some employee of his firm to make sure you're safe if you ever go out on your own

he won't show how much he frets while you're gone, but the relief he feels every time you come back to him unharmed and happy is so strong that he can physically feel a weight lift off his shoulders

loves to kiss your knuckles, the back of your hand, and up your arm

always insists on having you walk on his left, so he can intertwine his actual fingers with yours

he tends to avoid touching you with his prosthetic hand, worried that the cold metal will make you flinch

oh well, he thinks - he'd much rather touch you with the hand that can feel the warm of your body and the gentle kisses of your lips

even if he fakes nonchalance about it, make sure you take his prosthetic hand and kiss it too - he'll nearly weep that you're not ashamed or afraid of any part of him

you even start to notice when he's hurting, even if he doesn't show it on his face

he feels embarrassed at first when you fret over him, insisting that he'll be alright and that he's lived with the pain for this long - but he can't deny that being taken care of by you feels nice

you eventually become the only person he feels vulnerable enough around to start to grimace again

will tell you how lucky he is to have you and how beautiful you are at any given second

"being in your arms feels like a dream, my love," he'll whisper softly in your ear as he holds you close, resting his head against yours as he just basks in your warmth, "but it's one i'd be happy to never wake up from"

◍ NSFW ◍

tachibana tends to take a more passive role during sex due to his fragile health

he's made peace with his failing body and the limitations it gives him, but he can't deny that it sours him a little knowing he can't put more effort into making love to you

despite that, he will still naturally take control, softly whispering instructions and praises in your ear while you're in his lap

loves seeing you fall apart on his fingers or his tongue

actually, just likes seeing you fall apart in general - somehow, seeing you melt and moan under his touch awakens that sadistic side of himself that he thought he buried a long time ago

"you look so beautiful like this, darling, absolutely soaking my hand - you want to cum, don't you? go ahead"

he's got a pretty cock to match his pretty face - it's not a monster to behold or anything, but his skin is smooth with a few blue veins running down its length

it's always flushed such a pretty pink by the time you get to it, his tip weeping a steady stream of pre

he keeps himself pretty well-groomed down there - he doesn't grow a lot of body hair to begin with, so what's left usually gets shaven off

despite naturally taking the lead when you're in bed, he won't protest if you decide that you're going to be the one to take charge

(and let's be real, if you have your hands or mouth on his cock, he's probably going to fall apart so much that he won't be domming anyways)

has the prettiest, cutest moans that come out in choked gasps

if he can muster the breath, he won't stop babbling about how much he loves you and how radiant you are as you're fucking yourself on his lap

"d-doing so good, my love - look so pretty on my lap, i won't be able to hold on for much longer"

looks absolutely wrecked by the time he cums - his neatly styled hair falling over his face, his entire body flushed and barely able to keep his eyes open

one round and one orgasm is just about enough to make this poor boy want to pass out - but he'll still make sure he gathers you up in his arms, press a loving kiss to your forehead and tell you how good you did

as a bonus, a kink i think he'd be into is probably shibari - he doesn't really strike me as the kind of guy who necessarily gets off on you being helpless, he just thinks that the intricate tying and knots of the red rope against your skin is absolutely breathtaking :)

What They Call You | Goro Majima, Kazuma Kiryu & Akira Nishikiyama

Hello, I'm here with some headcanons for some of the Yakuza boys bc I love them all and my brain is craving content for them AAAA! Anyway, here are some headcanons of what they'd call their s/o, hope you enjoy!! ❤️

Notes: Fluff, some mild suggestive themes, spoilers for Yakuza 1/Kiwami during Nishiki's segment, mild angst

Goro Majima

Darlin' - This one is the default for him, the one his s/o will hear the most. It just flows off his tongue effortlessly, he hardly even realizes he is calling you that in the first place. The drawl of his Kansai-ben also really adds to the experience, making the pet name feel extra unique and exclusive.

Doll - This is the one he uses when he really wants to sweet talk. And oftentimes he pairs it with remarks about how pretty you are in his eyes. There is some slight silliness in it but for the most part, his overly honeyed words and compliments are almost always accompanied by this pet name.

Baby/Babe - Putting these two together because I feel like he'd use both in the same situations. Though I feel like "Baby" would be more so used when he and his s/o are intimate. In general, though, he uses one of these to surprise you, as you are so used to his usual "Darlin'". When one of these leaves his mouth, he's silently asking something of you. Usually, it's sexy time.

Princess/Prince - 100% most used when he wants to tease his s/o or is in the process of pampering them with lavish gifts or an unusually affectionate kiss. With this one, he just wishes to let you know how highly he thinks of you and how important you are to him. It leaves you with warmth on your cheeks almost every time.

Kazuma Kiryu

Your Name - Listen, Kiryu isn't too big on pet names, simply because to him, there isn't anything better to call you than your name. It's just much more special to him than any other nickname could be. He likes your name, so why wouldn't he use it? Sure, his s/o might feel like it's somewhat serious and not as light-hearted as it could be with traditional pet names, but really, Kiryu just wants to let you know that your name is all that he needs to call you, because nothing else would be able to convey his feelings better, in his opinion.

Dear - Now, despite what was said in the previous paragraph, there are still some times when this man will use a pet name. This one in particular is used if he and his s/o are married. He's a traditional, gentlemanly husband, so he uses the most traditional pet name there possibly is. Admittedly, he felt strange saying it at first, but it quickly became second nature, and he soon grew to love calling you that.

Beautiful - This is pretty self-explanatory. Whenever Kiryu uses this one, he is simply describing what he sees. To him, his s/o is the most beautiful thing there is, and him saying this out loud, is a verbal confirmation of it that admittedly leaves you somewhat flustered.

Cutie Patootie - He tried this once after seeing it on the internet. Bad idea. You almost died laughing. Never again.

Akira Nishikiyama

Babe - Nishiki's default. This one is rather broad, as he uses it with anyone who happens to strike his fancy if he is not already seeing someone, so it doesn't feel as exclusive when he and his s/o do get together. However, he somehow is able to make it sound special and different compared to how you used to hear it before you officially started dating. The charming smile he so often wears is surely a partial reason for this.

Sweetie - This one is saved for his s/o. It's a lot more tender and dare I say, sweet, perfect for when you two have been together for some time. Usually, you'll feel a kiss on your temple or cheek right after hearing him call you by this pet name. It warms your heart and you cannot help but smile a little. He is always genuine whilst addressing you in this way, and you know it. You hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes.

Sexy - To absolutely no one's surprise, Nishiki is a flirt, and he knows it. Whenever he is in a teasing mood, expect him to whisper sensual compliments to your ear along with this pet name. He is fully aware of what he is doing and needless to say, this is a word he calls you a LOT during intimacy. Usually, it's mixed with praise or, you guessed it, more compliments on how amazing and hot you are to him.

Mine - SPOILERS FOR YAKUZA 1/KIWAMI! When he calls you his, it's usually out of fear, though anyone can see the underlying possessiveness in his eyes. Deep down, he doesn't want to lose you, not after having already lost so many people dear to him. His sister, Kiryu, he absolutely can't deal with loss any longer. You see the change in his behavior, hear the sternness of his voice, and hear the hunger in his tone as he claims you with his words. Pre-Kiwami Nishiki would never say it in such a way, hardly at all if we are honest, but he has changed, and he is desperate to have you stay with him. So he holds you tight, vigorously telling you how you belong to him.

yet another wip released from containment….. you KNOW Majima is a freak ass koala

[dinoclawsz]

Late for work

[moophinz]

I’ve made a post on this already, but after acquiring heaps and reams of knowledge, I’ve decided to go at it again.

(From Mine’s TV Tropes page.)

I cannot stop anyone from wanting to view Mine as bi, and my intentions don’t lie there. But instead, I wanted to bring up that it hardly seems like the intentions of the devs and especially Yokoyama. Mine is a pretty big deal in being a heavily implied gay character regardless of having been a villain, partly due to how he’s just as masculine as his peers and his love for another man is a core part of his characterization where sympathy comes into play. On top of that, they do not shy away from heavy handed hints in his total lack of interest in women romantically and sexually.

Yokoyama is not only a non stranger to commentary on how much he loves Mine, but he’s also made remarks that imply he finds it funny that women are attracted to him though they can’t have him.

RGGO is particularly revealing about this thanks to how much room it gives to focus on character elements they couldn’t do in the actual games.

—A beach event in Okinawa has Kanda wanting to throw a party and see who between them can invite the most women. Mine is less than uninterested, but still winds up getting a few women interested in him. He can’t seem to outright reject them, but gives them very bland answers.

—This is a big trend in other Mine centric stories. Upon being asked by a woman if he’s by himself, he gives a slightly roundabout answer instead of outright saying anything more direct. He agrees to do something with her despite his ongoing lack of enthusiasm.

—As told, he’s gone on dates with women thanks to being unable to turn them down (he’s interestingly kind enough to women even though there’s some popular jokes about him being a misogynistic gay man). But if he sees a woman once, doesn’t really see them again. All in all, this is incredibly different from many other yakuza men who adore women as they slot into the three important status symbols: power, money, and women. All things that Mine brings up at the end of 3 as stuff that wasn’t really giving him any meaning or purpose in life. His line about having any woman he could want goes largely misunderstood. Especially after he ends that line with saying living life that way was a lie.

Comparing an outright love confession to Mine being thankful to have had Katase around feels almost laughable. On one hand, I’m at least glad the person who wrote this acknowledges the romantic feelings with Daigo, but on the other hand… “heavily implied?” With Katase? No… Not every meaningful statement or even so much as breathing the same air as one another between a man and woman is grounds for love.

Genuinely, it feels like they’ve done nearly everything but outright use any direct wording for his sexuality. He’s the only character they’ve gone this far with. Others get more vagueness or subtlety.

(From Majima’s)

(From Zhao’s)

I’ve talked to @04tenno quite a bit about this. And as usual, they’re the reason I know quite a bit, too.

Majima’s section is bizarre to me for immediately throwing out there that he’s a huge ladies’ man. (This was listed elsewhere in his section). Which is just… hilarious. Sure, plenty of irl female fans adore him, but in universe, he’s nothing of the sort and often interacts with women by using a more friendly tone of voice (probably to seem less intimidating) along with other behavioral changes. I also take up issue regarding the way the person who wrote this seems to completely downplay Majima and Kiryu’s relationship to the first game. But that’s a whole other conversation…

Zhao’s section feels incredibly different compared to the other two due to how the person writing it seems to completely lean into the potential signifiers and stereotypes surrounding him and includes other instances beyond that. There’s nothing about him being in a hostess club automatically meaning he’s attracted to women. As such, even a lot of dudebros seem to openly view Zhao as not being bisexual, but instead, straight up gay. This seems to be due to the fact that Zhao is never shown playing into the typical mainstream macho type stuff as opposed to Mine.

I didn’t take a screenshot, but Daigo even gets the assumed-to-be-into-women-because-he-was-next-to-one-treatment. While he went to hostess clubs, he looks so extremely despondent and out of the moment when we see him there. I can’t find it in me to assume he’s attracted to women just because he went to those types of clubs. His sexuality is totally up for debate as several others are as well. And we can all see him however we want. But, overall, immediately assuming things for such and such reasons starts to feel a little off to me. All in all, Mine gets this treatment the worse thanks to his sexuality actually being a big factor in his character.

[melonsodypop]

Hello! I was wondering if you had anymore HCs for Saejima (either sfw or not) other than the ones you've already done? I just can't get enough of that tiger, haha. I understand if not though. Thank you and have a good day!

taiga saejima sfw and nsfw headcanons !

🐅 pairing - taiga saejima/afab!reader

🐅 tags - nsfw, minors dni, no gendered terms or pronouns used, bullet list headcanons, dom!saejima

🐅 a/n - i will take any and all opportunities to speak about saejima i love love LOVE that big beefy man <33 also sorry for the slowing pace of posting!! the ay dee eich dee has been truly kicking my butt

🐅 SFW 🐅

the most protective boyfriend EVER

he's not a huge fan of pda so he won't insist on keeping his hands on you, but rest assured if you're out together in public you're never out of his sight or arm's length of him

he knows you're more than capable of handling yourself, but he can't stand the thought of you being somewhere where he can't reach in case something happens

extremely jealous - the sight of another man talking or even looking at you makes a pit form in his stomach

if he gets even the slightest inkling that you're uncomfortable or that the dude has less than pure intentions, he'll come up behind you and put an arm around your waist with the meanest, scariest glare he can muster which usually sends most men running

(sometimes, on his grumpier days, he'll do this just because he doesn't want other men talking to you)

you're his pride and joy above all - he's not much of a talker, nor one to show off, but you could be literally doing anything - singing your heart out off-key at karaoke, getting a gutter ball in bowling, completely missing your swing at the batting center - and he's just sitting and watching you with a soft, proud smile on his lips

not the best at big, grand gestures of affection like buying you flowers or taking you on romantic dates, but he'll show his devotion to you in little acts of service, like cooking every piece of meat for you at the yakiniku restaurant or bringing back a small souvenir that reminded him of you whenever his patriarch business takes him away somewhere

anybody in the saejima family knows not to cross him when he's been away from you for too long - he gets GROUCHY

he's good at playing the part of the scary, stoic boyfriend when you're out in public - but rest assured, when it's just the two of you, he's such a cuddlebug

doesn't often initiate physical contact, but as soon as you flop on top of him when he's lounging on the couch and watching tv, you're not leaving

cuddling with you brings out his playful side - if he hasn't shaved in a while, he'll nuzzle his face into your neck and chuckle when you complain that his scruff is tickling you

he adores you so much, and sometimes he wonders what a mean old bastard like him did to deserve someone so wonderful

is so single-handedly focused and devoted to you - when you're with him nothing else exists

if something or someone dares to threaten your safety or take you away from him, saejima won't stop unless the threat's obliterated and you're back in his arms

not a very verbal person, but if you were ever hurt or sad, he'd hold onto you like letting go would make you disappear, mumbling over and over about how sorry he is that he couldn't protect you

will have a hard time letting you out of his sight after that - he doesn't keep you locked away, because he knows better than anyone what it's like to be trapped, but he'll pace your shared apartment restlessly like a caged tiger until you come back

🐅 NSFW 🐅

hard dom - the 'hard' part isn't even because he enforces any rules or kinks, he's just ROUGH

saejima always tries his best to be gentle and romantic in bed like he thinks you deserve... but he gets pussydrunk so easily

no matter how slow or fast he's going, his thrusts are ROUGH - he just needs to be buried as deep in you as humanly possible

i saw someone else say that he's probably pretty hairy down there and i definitely agree - he might give it a trim every once in a while if you complain, but otherwise he doesn't really see the point

i've talked about how hung he is before but let's get into the nitty gritty of that shall we :)

he's uncut, just under 8 inches long hard - but what's seriously most impressive about that monster in his pants is that he's thick as fuck

veiny, and always flushes a dark red when he's hard with a healthy amount of pre beading at the tip

he cums a LOT, too - it's always thick, and he doesn't really jack off when he's in a relationship so he's always saved up a lot

i'm not gonna lie, his cum probably tastes pretty bitter especially because he's a serial smoker

despite all his stoicism, it does not take a lot for him to get aroused

you could look at him a certain way or say a few suggestive words and he's already feeling his body grow hot

likes leaving hickeys and bite marks where other people can't see them - he's not shameless enough that he'll broadcast that you two had sex to the world, but it does satisfy him to know that his brand is on you where only he can see

regarding what i said above about him getting too grumpy when he's away from you for too long - be prepared for an exceptionally rough session when he finally gets you in his sights again

he always has to have some sort of grip on you - your hips, your thighs, your arms, your waist - it doesn't matter, just as long as you're in his grasp

he's not really loud during sex - his sounds are mostly limited to little grunts and growls

but just because he's quiet doesn't mean he wants you to be - in fact, he LOVES when you're nice and loud for him

he probably could cum from the sound of your pretty mewls and moans alone, honestly

no matter how soft or rough he goes on you on any given night, he always makes sure to hold you close afterwards, asking if you're alright

he'll get up to carry you to the bathroom to clean up or get you a glass of water once you've been smothered enough by his bear hugs

usually one round is enough to satisfy him, especially because he gets so sleepy afterwards - but if you REALLY rile him up, expect him to go at it again and again until he's run both you and himself into the ground :)

Commission Info (October 10th, 2024)

[yakuzacasual]

A bento! Made with care! By a loving wife!

The only thing on my mind while doing that side quest was Kashiwagi and it shows. Possibly ishin spoilers for names, and Akiyama specifically so thread carefully. Also I am using the yakuza names in brackets cause i cannot for the life of me remember them by Ishin names.

Ishin men get a bento from their partner with (Kashiwagi) Inoue Genzaburo, (Ryuji) Saigo Kichinosuke and (Akiyama) Katsura Kogoro

(KASHIWAGI) INOUE GENZABURO

- You’d think he will be all embarrassed and troubled to be handed a bento right before his squadron and other captains. You’d think WRONG. Much to everyone’s surprise, he is very smooth about it. His lips bend into a rare, kind smile as his calloused hands gently wrap around the package, carefully wrapped in a colorful cloth. He stares right at you with this wistful gaze, like you are his entire universe and more... Although you can imagine that in reallity, he is definitely gauging reactions out of the corner of his eye.

- Gen is not the kind for pettines. Yet, whenever it comes to his beloved partner, he feels immense pride in rubbing it hard into the wounds of the starved shinsengumi hounds. Showing them what they could never have. In some ways, he thinks of you as a trophy, but with how kindly he treats you it hardly feels like an insult. If anything, being able to tame one of shinsengumi’s best is to be worn like a badge of pride.

-  He makes sure to thank you with a kind word for your dedication and is most regretful he cannot offer a kiss to the knuckles of these hands, that prepared the meal for him. Not right away, that is. Instead he inconspiciously leans closer, tips of his ears slightly burning, as he whispers to meet him by the riverbed. Gen needs not say anything more, you’ve been at it for a while after all. This meticulous little mischief of yours, that starts with handing him a bento for all to see and ends in a secluded spot where he consumes the food while listening to your day. Otherwise know as his favourite part of the day.

- So both of you slip away from prying eyes, enjoying each others’ presence to the tune of soothing sound of waves. He sits by you, his face filling with little wrinkles of joy as he uncovers the delicacies of the homemade bento. The conversation you share is so engaging, that before you know it he is already halfway through, his free hand sneaked around yours with fingers drawing circles into your skin. Gen’s touches are always so gentle and yet barely a little brush sends warm tingles running through your body. Fondness. Both yours towards him and his towards you.

- It’s pretty much his habit to share the bento with you, so he always encourages you to fill at least some part with your favourite foods. Even if you deny him that little pleasure, you will suddenly start hearing about how much he loves that meal or the other that you just happen to enjoy. You can’t beat the old fox. If you ask him to feed you, he would certainly grumble about how you “are no longer a child”, but at the same time Gen would never dare truly deny you.

(RYUJI) SAIGO KICHINOSUKE

- Still not over the fact that he did actually score you, the best goddamn thing ever, as his partner. And now you even bring him a lovely, homemade bento? Not even his big ego can help him wrap his head around this, even if he makes sure to look otherwise. There is a full fledged smirk on his face as you approach with the wrapped goods, his hands crossed nonchalantely on his chest. The aura he exudes just screams smug, confident and in a way not surprised he is having people fawing over him. Even his men, despite the fact that they are pretty sure you are the first one to ever do that, try to pay no mind. No one dares point out the twinkles in his eyes, knowing it leads to nothing but trouble. For you, however, these twinkles are the most endearing thing about your lion of a lover.

- Saigo has no sweet words to offer, instead messing up your hair with his big hand and accepting the bento like he is doing it for your benefit, more than his. The only sweet thing is the time he takes to tease you about it, asking if you want to poison him or perchance court him - like you are not partner already. He enjoys the bickering, and keeping you around longer, almost as much as the dishes you prepared for him so you make sure to entertain his playful side at least sometimes.

- While you cannot accompany him during the dinner, you can be sure to find a cleaned out bento right outside of your room the following evening. On more busy nights it just appears on its own, but the little trinkets left just by it - like a freshly picked flower - assure you that you were visited by the lion himself. Every other time, however, Saigo makes sure to stop by in person, even for a brief spell. His partner will not be left wanting for his attention, that’s for sure. Be it some intimate time in your room - just so spying servants are less likely - or a date out on the city, the man will pour all his heart into making you feel appreciated and loved. 

- If you happen to make it a habit, he will get incredibly worried when you stop bringing him food. “Did they get kidnapped” kind of worried. He has his men all over Kyo, himself included if circumstances allow, looking for your whereabouts only to find you completely oblivious and enjoying your time. It takes some explaining to get it through his thick head that you were being late or maybe didn’t have inspiration to cook today altogether. He doesn’t want to make you feel guilty about it, not in a malicious way but... The puppy eyes do make you feel at least SLIGHTLY guilty. You can’t help but accept an invitation for shared dinner now. And the whole situation causes quite an uproar for the days to come, with all the factions on edge. It just so happens to be the perfect excuse to offer you to stay with him for the time being. Forever, maybe?  

(AKIYAMA) KATSURA KOGORO

- So giddy when Ikumatsu presents the bento you left for him! His trusted spy is left giggling mess as she watches her boss light up in joy, his fingers impatiently unwraping the material around dinner you lovingly prepared. Kogoro spares no vocal compliments, boasting loudly to every usual patron enjoying their drink in the bar. No one seems too bothered, at this point they are used to his antics and if anything, watching him so entranced is just endearing. Just as he is about to dig in, you suddenly reveal your presence previously hidden by the kitchen door - a little ruse Ikumatsu came up with to surprise the leader.

- Somehow, his smile manages to get ever wider and in no time he strides over to your side, hands gently placed on your shoulders. The comforting warmth of his fingers seeps down into your core, as the man’s voice trembles with geniuine passion. It’s only a few words of gratitude and yet this sincerity is near dizzying when you realize all the eyes on you. Kogoro pays no mind himself, but in a second thought he does worry he might cause you trouble. Immediately backs down with a sheepish expression, hands twitching at his side ever so slightly now that they are no longer hooked around your figure.

- The next time you come over with a bento, he makes sure to be prepared. Even Ikumatsu backs off when he explains his master plan to pay you back for your kindness. As you settle down in the bar, enjoying the slow business with a sip of tea, Kogoro bursts out of the kitchen not unlike you did. Much to your surprise, he is wearing an outfit more appropriate for a cook than Choshu leader - topped off with a cute little apron barely tied around his waist, clearly belonging to some of the more feminine chefs. In his arms he cradles his favourite dish, clearly fresh and... Slightly off. He looks truly defeated like never before. He lost, and to a meal no less.

- Hopefully you are willing to still give it a try. It doesn’t look outright poisonous, at very least, and the look in his eyes tells you that it might yet lift his spirits. Just a kind “thank you” coming from your lips makes him brighten right up. He watches you like a hawk, as you take the first bite only to discover, that it is actually pretty good! Although some elements are all over the place and presentation was less than appealing, you can tell there was a lot of effort and heart put into it. You find that it just gets better with each bite through the simple reality of him by your side. Finally as the dish is cleaned, Kogoro finds it in himself to ask for your review. Can you imagine how happy he will be when you ask him to cook for you again some time?

[spicyliumang]

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY GIRL ENYA!! 🥺😭💙💙

[ymiwritesstuff]

A Heart of Gold

Here is the Kiryu fic!! It came out a bit differently than I originally intended but you know what that's fine lol. I also found getting his personality right a bit challenging but I hope I at least somewhat managed to capture his vibe!! Please enjoy!

Yakuza Kiwami 2

Kazuma Kiryu x Reader

Summary: A year has passed, and the dark memories remain, but waking up next to him has never felt so right.

Notes: Takes place before the events of the game, vague spoilers for Kiwami 1 (nothing specific, just mentions of loss etc), Fluff, Suggestive themes towards the end!

Also posted on AO3!

The soft, comforting sheets shifted below you as you moved, your limbs moving on instinct to bless you with the sensation of a good morning's stretch. Your bare feet stuck out from under the blanket and your mouth opened wide for a yawn. It had been a good night, the best in a while, as the relief of knowing that you wouldn’t have to do anything of importance the next day melted all your tension away. And it was even better when you woke up next to him.

The right side of the bed was rarely empty, as life had gotten relatively normal recently. Though the events that occurred a year ago still lingered in the air and in the minds of those involved, you were sure everyone appreciated the tranquility that followed. Especially him.

You slowly turned to him and smiled to yourself softly. There he was, eyes closed, the usual creases between his eyebrows gone, and his mouth slightly agape as he breathed. You had only recently started seeing him like this, sleeping so soundly without worry. It brought you some peace of mind. After all that had happened, after everything he had lost, he deserved it.

No matter how many times you woke up next to him, you were always entranced by his features, especially when he looked so at peace like this. You were certain that the nightmares still haunted him, and they probably would continue doing so for years to come, but the sight of him sleeping next to you in serenity at least told you that he felt safe enough to let his guard down with you. That alone made you the happiest person in Japan.

His face was so enticing, you couldn’t help but place your hand on his cheek and continue looking at him fondly. Kiryu barely shifted at your action, too absorbed in his dream. Your eyes ran over the details of his handsome face. He looked as stoic as ever, save for the tiniest twitch of his eyebrows every now and then. His breathing was steady and quiet, and thin strands of dark hair kissed his forehead. You smiled to yourself once again.

He was quite adorable.

Caressing your thumb along his cheek, you spoke gently: “Kazuma.” No response.

You withheld a laugh. In a way, it felt rude to wake him up from his peaceful slumber, but you also wanted to see his dark eyes looking at you with the adoration you had come to love almost as much as the man himself. So you tried again:

“Kazumaa…” You drawled at him again, adding some melody to your quiet voice. His closed eyes twitched slightly, but they did not yet open. You pouted and moved closer, curling some of your fingers behind his neck, the tips making contact with the short strands of his hair.

You found yourself smiling more as you heard him groan softly, finally responding to your voice. He shifted, readjusting his position slightly, but his eyes remained closed. In fact, you thought you noticed him squeezing them shut even further as he sunk deeper into the pillow. 

Instinctively, though rather lazily, Kiryu put one of his strong arms around you in a way you were familiar with. It gave you the opportunity to shuffle even closer to him, to the point where your noses were almost touching.

It felt special to have him so close to you. You could see how he relaxed his otherwise tense muscles became around you, and how your presence brought him the comfort he most certainly needed. He was always on edge, for reasons that had become clear to you over time, and had to maintain that Dragon of Dojima spirit he had become so renowned for. It was a part of him, yes, but you had always felt like perhaps he never expected or asked for such a title. 

To you, however, he was just Kazuma Kiryu. A man with a heart of gold that you’d do anything for. If only he knew how lucky you felt.

Fueled by your thoughts of affection, you pressed your lips to his in a kiss so chaste and faint, it left you wondering if you should have been more daring with it as when you went to pull away, you already missed his lips.

Kiryu’s hold on you tightened, and all doubt in your mind of him still being asleep got washed away when he rolled onto his back, effortlessly laying you on his chest. His arms were securely wrapped around your form and finally, his eyes fluttered open. Your hands quickly found his face again.

“Good morning, handsome.”

Kiryu’s lips twitched slightly upward at your greeting, one of his hands sliding to the small of your back. “Good morning.”

God, you loved that deep voice of his, even more so when the raspiness of the morning accompanied it. You couldn’t resist the urge to kiss him again, and he returned it in the way you were used to.

Pressing your ear against his chest, you listened to his steady heartbeat and traced his arm and shoulder with your digits. His gentle hand rubbed your back in the most comforting way.

“How did you sleep?” You asked. It had become somewhat of a habit of yours, especially after the times his sleep was plagued by nightmares. He rarely told you about them, but you always knew.

“Good. I slept good,” he replied, briefly glancing at the time and quirking one of his eyebrows. “Don’t you have work today?”

You shook your head against his chest before lifting it up to meet his warm gaze with your own. “I have the day off,” you announced, to which Kiryu let the faintest chuckle of what to you sounded almost like relief. 

“That’s good to hear.” His brown eyes softened as he looked at you, his comforting touch at your back almost lulling you back to sleep. You took in the kind glow in his irises, wondering how they could ever be used to scare street thugs away. You of course had seen how he used his stern scowl to fend off attackers, and it made you appreciate moments like these even more.

“We can do anything we want, Kazuma,” you said with a small giggle, bringing your hands to his perfectly sculpted shoulders, and thinking of all the possible things you could spend the day doing.

Kiryu’s eyes wandered to the door at the other end of the room, eyebrows frowning the tiniest amount as if he were buried in his thoughts for a brief moment. “Do you think…” He began, quickly drifting his eyes towards you again. “...Haruka is still asleep?”

Oh?

Your eyes widened slightly at his somewhat out-of-the-blue question and the twinge of warmth on his face told you more than words ever could. That was quite bold, for him anyway.

With a small grin, you turned your head towards the door, his question and the implications behind it echoing in your head loudly. You giggled to yourself as your thoughts traveled farther than you should have allowed them to. With a playful sparkle in your eyes, you looked at him as you dawned on an idea.

“Shower?”

Kiryu looked at you for a moment, seemingly surprised at your proposal, but his expression quickly melted, and he gave you a firm nod, before lifting the blanket off the both of you. Your hands lingered on his chest as you raised yourself from the comfort it had given you. 

As you got up, Kiryu held your hand, as he so often did. It was one of those little habits of his own. And you adored it. He was not the best with his words when it came to affection, but the small physical things he did told you all you needed to know. He held your hand when you walked, played with your hair when you cuddled, had his protective arms around you when you cried, and held you close when you slept. 

All of that and more was the reason you loved him so.

Whilst he led you to the bathroom by your hand, your eyes fixated on his irezumi that beautifully adorned his back. The way the ink twisted and distorted with the flow of his muscles as he walked was almost hypnotizing, it was impossible to look away. The dragon that watched his back was stunning, the intricate details always blew you away and pulled you back in. And the fact that such fierce imagery was carried by the most kind-hearted and loving man you had ever met gave it an all-new meaning in your mind.

You could stare at it for hours.

Kiryu flinched ever so slightly when he felt your hand on his back, and as he turned to you at speeds fueled by sudden surprise, you immediately retreated your hand and gave him an apologetic look.

“Sorry.” You hadn’t meant to startle him in the slightest, you had just been so absorbed in your thoughts that you let your muscles move on their own. “It’s just… So beautiful,” you concluded, keeping your eyes on the image at his back.

Kiryu let out a brief chuckle, your words sticking to him like tar. It was not the first time you had expressed your adoration for his irezumi, but every time, he felt a tingle in his core.

“It’s not the only beautiful thing here.”

You couldn’t help but let out a small laugh at his reply. It was very… Him. Traditional, maybe a little cheesy, but oh so endearing. You never got tired of it.

With warmth on your cheeks, you spoke:

“Very smooth, Kaz,” you teased and your free hand found his chest again. “You’re getting better at this.” 

Kiryu huffed and rolled his eyes softly, chiding himself for forgetting how much you enjoyed toying with him like this. Despite his outward reaction though, he found it charming.

“Thank you for your input.” The sarcasm and humor in his voice weren’t lost on you, and you found yourself laughing once more as he opened the bathroom door. Though you couldn’t see it, he was smiling as well, thanks to the pleasant sound that was your laughter.

His hand finally left yours as you closed the door behind you, eager to start the day in the right way with him. Probable ulterior motives aside, you really did only crave a shower, but you were glad that he was willing to join you. 

You walked up to him again, eyes locking with his. Kiryu held onto your waist, while your hands were on his broad shoulders. No words were exchanged, nor did they need to. You could spend hours just looking into his eyes that had seen so much. Too much, even.

The pain was not fully gone, you surmised, and you didn’t expect it to be so for a long time. You were however proud of how far he had come. He had lost so much, but he pulled himself up and tried to make things right for Haruka and you despite everything. It was admirable, but you also wanted him to know that you were willing to share some of that burden with him.

You were sure he knew this and saw it in your efforts. He was an observant man, after all.

Kiryu loosened his hold and glanced at the shower behind him. “Shall we?” You smiled and nodded.

Before he had time to do anything else though, you brought your lips to his ear, sending shivers down his spine with your whispers:

“Remember Kazuma,” your fingers lightly traced the muscles on his shoulders and neck. 

“We have time.”
