Game Night

Serizawa Katsuya x reader Fluff Word Count: 1.5k Author's Note: I've been meaning to write this for ages. I think Serizawa would love to play any type of games with you, especially video games. He's so sweet and I love him dearly. Not edited. Feedback appreciated! Italics indicate texts

“Are we still on for game night?” you texted Serizawa. The two of you had made it a habit of having game night at 5:30 on Fridays. Always at his place, as he had the best setup for any kind of games you wanted to play. He’s never bailed on a game night, but you liked to confirm that he was still interested in it. 

“We’re finishing up a job. Should be done in about 30 minutes! 🙂” he messaged back almost immediately. 

He quickly followed up with, “you can go on in and get the games ready if you’d like 😊”.

A few weeks ago, he had given you a spare key for times like this. He didn’t want to be rude and make you wait in the hallway for him to get home, but he also didn’t want you to have to wait for him to text you, thus delaying game night even longer. You accepted the key graciously and it hung on your keychain with your apartment key and a cat key charm.

The walk from your apartment to his was only about fifteen minutes. You would usually walk there by yourself and Serizawa would walk you back home. You always made him promise to text you when he got back home and he always kept that promise. It was hard to say what your relationship was. You liked him a lot, and you thought you were giving some subtle hints. But with Serizawa, it was hard to read him. He was always so nice and friendly to you, but he was that way with everyone. He always let you choose the game to play, but never really gave any indication if it was what he wanted to play. But then, you thought it didn’t really matter because he always won whatever game you played. 

You stood in front of his door for a solid five minutes before fetching the keys out of your pocket. It was a little nerve-wracking to be going into his place while he wasn’t there. The keys jingled in your hand as you tried to steady it in order to get the key into the lock. First the deadbolt, and then the lock on the doorknob. You slowly walked in and found his place to be in its usual state; cozy and tidy. You sent him a quick message to let him know that you had arrived and he sent a text back a few minutes later. 

“Great! We’re almost done (I think).”

“You can pick whatever game!”

“Maybe practice a little before I get there 😅”

“I’m going to win tonight, Katsuya…you’ll see!”

“😆” was all he responded back. You knew that meant Reigen probably needed his full attention at that moment. 

He had an entire room dedicated to gaming. A big tv with surround sound, a soft couch, a couple of bean bags, and all of the games you could imagine. Sometimes you would play board games and other times you played console games. None of the board games were piquing your interest, so you shuffled through some of the console games. At the bottom of the stack, tucked away ever so slightly, was a game you had never played with Serizawa. This was a game that you were actually quite good at, a game that you have played many times.  This was the game that you knew you were going to play tonight. 

Forty-five minutes later, you heard Serizawa walk through the door. 

“______?” he called out. 

“I’m in the game room!” you called back, currently concentrated on the practice game you were playing. 

“Oh! I thought maybe you had left and were mad at me, you didn’t respond back to my texts,” he chuckled nervously and leaned against the door frame, his expression changing from worried to excited. “I stopped for some snacks, too.” He held up a bag and set it on the table. He sat on the opposite end of the couch as you and watched you play. 

“So, this is the game you want to play then, I take it?”

“Oh yeah! I meant it earlier when I said that I was going to win tonight!”

He chuckled. “I haven’t played Mario Kart in ages,” he said as he cracked his knuckles and rolled up his sleeves. 

You quit the game you were currently in and went back to the home screen so that he could add his controller into the game. You knew that he was excited to play, because he didn’t even bother to change out of his work clothes. It made you smile to yourself. 

“I love Mario Kart! I always play Waluigi. He’s so goofy. I can sound like him, too. Wanna hear?”

Serizawa gave you a soft smile and a nod. 

“WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!” you did your best Waluigi impression. 

Serizawa busted out laughing, his face turning a little red. “That was really good! You sounded just like him! Got any other impersonations?”

“Hm…I can sound like Toad a little bit. But I need to refine that impersonation,” you chuckled. 

“That’s so funny you said Toad. I always play as Toad! He’s a quiet, funky little guy.”

“I would have never pegged you as a Toad guy. You look more like a Shy Guy to me.”

“Nah, Toad is definitely the best!” 

“Well, I guess we’ll see. I’m not leaving tonight until I beat you in one race!” you smiled widely, and Serizawa blushed a little before turning his head toward the TV. 

“Alright, game one. Let’sa go!” He gave his best Mario impression. 

The games were intense. The first few Serizawa won and it wasn’t even close. But you started to pick up your rhythm. You got very excitable during the games and would stand up, sit down, jump back up, sit back down. You had your controller every which way, while Serizawa remained calm and in the same position the entire time.

Hours passed and you were always so close to beating him, but he always had something up his sleeve. A blue shell, a banana peel, a bomb, something that would always hinder you from crossing the finish line first. And, everytime, you would plop back down onto the couch in defeat, stating that you’ll get him the next game.  Eventually, the two of you had found your way to the middle of the couch. You were both shoulder to shoulder as this last race was getting close to finishing. You were neck and neck, but this time he didn’t have any extras to bombard you with. You were pulling out ahead and you could see the finish line in the frame. The excitement in you was bubbling. And then, out of nowhere, your controller went flying out of your hands and floated in the air above you. Waluigi ran into the wall and Toad raced right past him to cross the finish line first. 

“Katsu! You…you cheated!” you accused, your face scrunched in dismay. The controller dropped back down into your lap gently. 

“I..well..,” the guilt showed all over his face as he set his controller down, “you said that you weren’t going to leave until you beat me. And well,” he rubbed the back of his neck,”I’ve been having a lot of fun and I don’t want you to leave just yet.”

The anger in your chest slowly dissipated and was replaced with a sense of fondness. “You could’ve let me win still and asked me to stay anyway, Katsuya,” you bumped your shoulder into his. 

“I…yes, I suppose I could have. I’m sorry. I just really want you to stay. I always have a lot of fun with you, and I thought maybe we could extend our game nights into game weekends,” he said as he fidgeted with his hands. 

You gently placed your hand onto his. “I’d like that a lot, Katsu.” You leaned up and kissed his cheek. He brought one of his hands up to where you’d placed the kiss and he began to turn a bright red. 

“Just two requests, though,” you said sternly. “No more using your powers for cheating.”

He nodded, “Done and done. What’s the other request?”

“Don’t go easy on me, alright?”

He smiled fiercely, “Are you sure about that?” 

“Absolutely.”

“I can fulfill both of those requests. But, I have a request for you as well.”

“Oh,” you quirked your eyebrow at him. 

“Mhmm. I would like to walk you to your apartment so you can get some things you’d need to stay over. And then we can continue this Mario Kart smackdown!”

You agreed with his request. The two of you held hands all the way to your place and all the way back to his. He even carried your bag for you. You didn’t win a single race that night. But it didn’t matter to you. In your eyes, being able to spend more time with Serizawa was the ultimate win for a game night.

hi! i hope you're doing well ^^

do you have any thoughts on reigen with cats

im pretty sure he canonically likes dogs, so i think him with cats is a funny concept

i like to imagine he's cool with them and thinks they're cute but they hiss at him </3

(i love your blog theme btw "get ready wake your psyche up mob" was stuck in my head for WEEKS)

-💫

i like to think that reigen loves dogs much more than cats but he still love cats, like 100% dog and 60-70% cats

he loves cats dont get me wrong, he doesnt hate them nor dislike them theyre cats theyre cute hes 100% chill with them, he likes cats, but most of the time they dont like him 😭 he'd have staring contests with cats, lose, and the cat is smug. he's try to get a cat's trust for the whole day and at the end the cat still doesnt want to be near him, but the moment mob enters the room the cat is purring and allows mob to pet them. reigen 100% hurt and wallowing

the only cats that pay him any attention would be cat cafes, but if serizawa was there the cats would gravitate to seri more and reigens only left with one cat by his side

🌸 serizawa :)

BEAN..... I LOVE U SM...... THANK U 🥺💛‼️

beware: mob psycho 100 season 2 spoilers under the cut!!!!

also: heres a link to the ask game !! mutuals pls send some 🥺

okay! now onto my serizawa rambling 🥰😌

1. first and foremost, i really REALLY love his character as a whole...... THIS FIRST ONES A LONG ONE, BUCKLE UP!

i love that serizawa is instinctively a really good and kind person at heart, and that this isnt something thats overlooked about him either. it is so integral to who he is... in every aspect of his life, good and bad.

its why he shut himself in as a kid, afraid to hurt others... its why he was so easily manipulated by toichiro into believing claw was his "second chance" at life.

but his naturally kind heart is also why he was able to switch sides so quickly and easily, after mob had shown him kindness... it was the first time he was given the opportunity to be good, and the first opportunity at actual friendship - something he never was able to have before. and he didnt have to accept mob's friendship, he didnt have to go save reigen - someone he didnt even know, who was on the opposing side. he didnt have to choose to be good. but he did.

serizawa has always tried to make the choice to be good, even when his perception of "good" was skewed... because thats who he is, was, and always will be!!!

he may have been on the corrupt villain's side - his right hand man, even - but he was never ever a villain himself. he had always been this deeply kind, yet fearful & sad guy who so badly wants to be good... but this made him a target. he was horribly taken advantage of by toichiro, and fed a distorted version of the world all those years he spent under his wing... because toichiro made serizawa believe he couldnt live without his guidance, he did make bad choices - choices that were directed by toichiro.

but once he was offered a true second chance, by mob & co.,, it was so easy for him to turn his back on the way he lived for so long. to stand up to toichiro, and to stand up for himself and for others, for the first time in his life.

he always had it in him, to be good. it was always who he was. but he was never given the opportunity, nor the ability, to truly allow himself to believe it. but serizawa is, and always has been, someone with a truly good, kind heart. and i really, really love that about him.

2. it is SO IMPORTANT to me how serizawa's redemption was handled... they didnt gloss over his trauma & how it affects him still. they showed him as this awkward, highly self conscious & anxious person, which is natural and understandable behavior that hits so close to home as a post-trauma response. he has never lived his life without debilitating fear of himself and the world until now... and he has never been shown the kindness, patience, and the acceptance that spirits & such co. have shown him. everything that he experiences in his life after his redemption arc is a completely new experience for him, and they dont ignore or undermine the importance of this to his character!!! and as time goes on... and hes continued to have a truly good support system... a family... he is able to recover, slowly coming to accept himself and his powers and have confidence for the first time in his life. and seeing that, seeing serizawa be able to recover and grow from his harmful past... its soso important to me.

3. i love how he is canonically one of the absolute most powerful espers... even tho it has caused sm problems for him in his early life, i think he deserves it. he deserves to be the baddest bitch of them all. he can protect himself & his family with ease, fuck all the hoes. he is so cool.

4. serizawa's relationship with reigen is something that is also so important to me... but that is a whole nother can of worms that i do not feel like opening on this post bc. its a lot.

5. the dudes birthday is on 4/20.
