thin line

synopsis: four times itoshi rin said he hated you, and the one time he finally said the truth.

pairing: itoshi rin x gn!reader | words: 5k (insane) | warnings: enemies to (implied) lovers, cursing (rin being rin), rin is a total tsundere and emotionally constipated, banter, teasing, one (1) sexual implication towards the end, i use the word hate a lot, kinda proofread

notes: oh my GOD. you have no idea how hard it was for me to write (and finish!) this. writer's block has been kicking my ass really hard and honestly i don't even know if i like this but i swear to god if this flops i'll kms. (jk. maybe. or not.)

masterlist sae's 4+1

i.

itoshi rin was a hater. 

he didn’t consider himself one, naturally. rin thought he was a pretty chill guy, but apparently, everyone who had some sort of interaction with the younger itoshi felt the same kind of vibe coming from him. at least, it was what his stupid teammates said after claiming rin was always hating on something — whether it was the line in the coffee shop being too long, every pass given to him by isagi or the librarian with “a stupid fish-face”.

on his defense, no one liked long lines, isagi had two left feet when it came to passing and the librarian was a fucking weirdo. even if he was a hater, he had a plausible reason for everything he hated. 

“itoshi.”

that included you, of course.

rin was pretty convinced it was impossible not to hate you. every time he entered your shared biology class, a mere look at you was enough for his irk to grow even more. everything about you was just obnoxious.

you were loud. and, although unpleasant, that wouldn’t be much of a problem if you just weren’t unable to shut the fuck up and stop rambling excitedly at every friend you met. and you had many. you were some kind of weird social butterfly with infinite energy for social interactions — in a way, you reminded him of bachira. 

but bachira was not always jumping at every chance to refute him with a know-it-all smirk. bachira wasn’t perpetually ready to throw witty remarks at his rudeness. and bachira definitely didn’t have a pretty gleam on his eyes every time he headbutted with rin.

in short, you were everything itoshi rin hated. and the worst part was that you knew. you knew how much your very existence annoyed him, and it seemed like you took as your life mission to make the next two years of his life a living hell. 

“itoshi.” your voice reached his ears again. well, maybe if he just ignored you, you would… “itoshi!”

“what the fuck do you want?” he snapped, diverting his attention from the match playing on his phone to look at you. “i told you not to call me that.”

another thing he hated — to be called by his last name. it reminded him way too much of sae, and that was something rin didn’t want to do. but it wasn’t like he was going to tell you that, so he’d rather let you think he just didn’t want you to address him at all. which wasn’t a lie, either. 

you gave him a puzzled look, tilting your head like an innocent puppy. a fake naivety, of course. “we’re not close enough for me to call you by your first name, though.”

“thank fuck.” 

your eyes rolled at that. “language, itoshi.” he glared at you again, and you fixed your posture, putting your hands on the back pockets of your jeans. the malicious smile you gave sent chills down his spine. 

“well, i just came to deliver you the news since you missed last period. there’s a project worth 75% of our grade to be delivered in two months, and guess what? we’re together!”

oh, hell no.

“you tell terrible jokes.”

“i’m serious, though. if you don’t believe me, just ask your friends,” you said, so absentmindedly that rin felt his blood pressure rising. he opened his mouth to retort, but you beat him to it. “and before you try, the teacher already said no one can work alone and that the pairs cannot be exchanged.”

his left eye twitched, and he was pretty sure all his muscles were tight and ready to combust. life just couldn’t give him a break, could it? it was like he was being punished — forced to work with you, of all people. what a fucking nightmare. 

how the hell was he supposed to endure two months of constant interactions with your annoying sassiness and the pretty curve of your lips when you smirked? it might just drive him crazy. 

“so, when can we start, partner?”

rin rolled his eyes so hard they almost got stuck on the back of his skull. 

“i hate you.”

ii.

the soccer field was probably the only place rin felt at peace. the smell of grass and sweat was as familiar as his home, much like the round shape of the ball on his feet and the path to the goal. despite his rowdy teammates and their dumb antics, there wasn’t much that was able to distract him and break this peacefulness.

“itoshi!”

there was still something, though. or someone, for that matter.

the shock of seeing you in his “happy place” was so big rin nearly tripped on the ball, successfully letting bachira steal it from him. the snickers from reo and isagi made his skin boil with anger, but his harsh glare was directed at you — the fucking source of all his problems. 

and no, he was not being dramatic. 

“what are you doing here.” 

it wasn’t really a question, more like a veiled threat; but you seemed oblivious to it, or simply didn’t care about his reaction. something in him even thought you liked getting on his nerves. he was sure of it when you smirked.

“the project, dummy. we need to start today if we want to get it done in time. it’s pretty long, hence why we have two months.”

“i can’t today,” was all he said. 

“why?”

“because,” rin spat with venom on his tongue, “i have an important game next week.”

you stared at him in silence. rin would have thought about how the sun shining on your back framed you with a perfect halo and gave you a nearly angelic look if he wasn’t so busy controlling the heat on his face from your scrutiny. he hated when you did that. he hated you. 

“we have to start today, itoshi. i’ll wait until you finish practicing so we can go to the library.”

he hated your stubbornness. he hated your voice, too — how it sounded like a siren’s melody, ready to trap him and bring him to the bottom of the ocean.

“fine. suit yourself.”

the young itoshi turned around and went back to the field, ignoring aryu’s pestering and shidou asking about who you were and if he could have your number. rin pondered if a yellow card was worth shutting up the insect, but eventually decided against it; he didn’t want ego to bench him, especially when they were so close to the tournament next week. 

the rest of the game went pretty smoothly, although rin and his teammates could tell he had half of his focus on the sidelines, where you sat prettily at the stands with your laptop. a perpetual scowl was on his face throughout the rest of the match. you were so damn distracting it was annoying. 

once the match was over, some of the boys went home, while others continued practicing, rin being one of them. he was expecting you to grow tired and give up, especially considering it was getting darker and colder, but you didn’t waver. your face was still present on the stands, haunting him even if he closed his eyes. you even had the audacity to smile when your gazes crossed.

he hated your smile. he did. 

hours passed until every one of his teammates had gone home, and rin was the only one left in the field. deciding it was finally enough (and not admitting he was starting to worry for you), he stopped his moves, finishing up with a few stretches so that his muscles weren’t too sore. he stored the footballs on the cart and put away the cones, something that was already routine at that point since he was usually the last one to leave.

finally, rin walked towards you. 

“i’m done,” he said as he approached you on the sideline of the field. his gym bag was right at your side, and he ignored the electricity that sparked his skin when it grazed yours. 

your eyes averted from your laptop to look at him. “oh, hi! thought you’d take a little longer,” you retorted. “anyways, i’m done too.”

he stopped his movement. “what?”

“yeah, i finished the first topic. only fourteen more to go.” the giggle that flew out of your mouth reverberated through his body. rin watched as you stood up and stretched, looking away when your shirt rode up and a sliver of your stomach could be seen. you then proceeded to put your laptop away, and his brows furrowed. 

“i don’t get it. i thought you said… you said it was too much stuff to do by yourself.” you nodded, not even looking at him. rin kind of wished you did. “and yet you did everything?”

“well, yes.”

his scowl only worsened. “what the fuck? why?”

you slung your bag through your shoulder, looking at him with those damn doe-eyes that always sparkled so much. it was annoying. why did they remind him of the stars? and why did rin wanted to watch the night sky on your face?

“you said you have an important game next week, so i figured it wouldn’t kill to do the first topic by myself,” you answered. “don’t get used to it, though! you’re gonna have to help on the next ones, partner.”

the young itoshi ignored the stupid nickname, his brain still trying to catch up to everything. something just wasn’t clicking…

“so why the hell did you wait for me to finish practice?”

you didn’t even falter.

“thought you could use the company.” you shrugged. and although your voice was nonchalant, you were smiling. and not your typical mischievous smirk — it was a sweet, sweet smile, dripped in honey and all things good in the world. 

rin’s heart leaped on his chest. he could feel his cheeks becoming flushed, but he blamed it on the cold. 

coming to think of it, it was really cold. and you sat there for hours… if he looked closely, he could see your frame shivering from the lack of proper clothing. 

a little tsk came out of his mouth, and rin impulsively took off his jacket, throwing it on your face — ignoring the “hey!” you sent his way.

“what’s that for, itoshi?!”

“so that you don’t freeze to death, dumbass.”

rin had to admit your gaping expression was kind of cute. not that he would commit to memory or something… that would be lukewarm, and he was anything but lukewarm. especially when it came to you. 

“don’t get any ideas, though,” he said before you could retort, turning around to follow the path to his dorm room, “i still hate you.”

iii.

things were calmer after the game passed. rin often found himself at the university library with you after his practice, leaving around nine or ten, and walking you to your dorm building simply because he didn’t want to be bothered in case something happened to you. not like he was worried for your safety or anything.

you still got on his nerves, but the project was going surprisingly well. rin learned you were very dedicated and meticulous, meaning you put in a lot of effort to focus and make everything as perfect as it could be. he wished he could say his focus was also as sharp as ever, but the scent of your coconut shampoo always lingered on the study booths and made his mind fuzzy. 

it was tuesday night and you were both on your laptops doing research and writing on your paper, falling into the same little routine you established the past weeks. the library was nearly empty as usual — though you always sat at the furthest cabin because rin didn’t like to see, hear or speak to people — and the only sound in the ambience was the pitter patter of the rain. 

everything seemed to be going fine, but things changed when the rain got heavier and became a strong thunderstorm that made the lights go out.

“fuck,” rin cursed under his breath, looking around to hear other people mumbling complaints and the librarian saying she would turn on the power generator, asking for calm and patience. he squeezed the bridge of his nose, annoyed, and turned to you. “hey, do you think—”

then he stopped. 

the only source of light was the screen of your laptops and the occasional lightning striking on the dark sky, but rin could see you on the other side of the table as clear as day. and he felt his heart squeeze impossibly hard with the sight. 

you were shaking like a leaf, hands squeezed tight and nails prickling your skin, and your eyes were widened and so, so scared. he had never seen you wear such an expression, always familiar with your confidant, cheery self, and he decided he didn’t like one bit. 

“hey,” he whispered, trying to grasp your attention. however, your eyes were focused outside. “hey, look at me.”

slowly, your orbs met his, and rin felt his breath hitch. there were tears on your lash line threatening to fall, and panic began to rise on his throat; but he forced himself to stay calm for your sake. 

“what’s wrong?”

your lips trembled, but nothing came out. he hated your voice, but found himself missing it. so he tried again.

“are you… afraid of the dark?”

his question was answered when the sound of another thunder reverberated again, making you visibly flinch. his gaze softened when a small hiccup left your lips. 

“oh. it’s the thunder.”

you nodded, still unable to talk. rin could see you were forcing yourself to keep your sobs contained, as if the mere thought of crying in front of him was as dangerous as standing at gunpoint. like his words — venomous, harsh, cold words — could hurt you just as much as a bullet. 

his stomach churned with that thought. he hated it. 

so, as carefully as he could so as not to startle you, rin stood up from his seat and walked around the table until he reached the chair at your side, sitting on it. he felt you body tense with the proximity, more so when he slightly turned to stare at you, and felt the need to say something.

“it’s okay,” he murmured, so impossibly soft you could hardly believe it was itoshi rin saying those words to you. 

it was even more unbelievable when he enveloped your body in a hug, bringing your head to his chest as if to shelter you from the thunder. 

rin really hoped you couldn't hear the unrestrained beating of his heart. everything about that moment made him nearly combust; from the ever present smell of your shampoo when he rested his nose in your hair, the evident relaxation of your frame when he hugged you or the small arms that held his waist as if he was the only lifeline in the ocean. 

you let your sobs and sniffles run free, burying yourself deeper in his embrace, and all rin could do was pat your hair and whisper soft reassurances on your ear. 

it’s okay. you are safe. i won’t let it hurt you. 

he didn’t know how long you both stayed in that position, but as he enjoyed the warmth of your body next to his, your sobs eventually died out along with the roaring sound of thunder. the rain became thinner and the lights finally came back, although neither of you made a move to separate. 

the silence lingered for a moment before you broke it, “thank you.”

the male only hummed, trying to hide his disappointment when you slowly backed away. though his hand didn’t leave you, going from your hair to rest on your hip in some type of reassurance squeeze. 

“i-i’m sorry, it’s just…”

“you don’t have to explain,” he interrupted. then, hesitantly added, “only if you want to.”

“it’s not something big or anything… this fear has just kind of been there. i think something happened to me when i was a kid and it was thundering, so every time it happens i just… freeze.” you shook your head. “it’s stupid.”

he frowned. “it’s not stupid if it makes you this terrified. it’s okay, we all have fears.”

you were yet to look him in the eye, seemingly embarrassed about your triggered phobia. “i cried on your shirt.”

“yeah.”

“it has tears stains.”

“yeah.”

you sighed. “i’m sorry.”

he squeezed your hip again. “don’t apologize.”

you finally raised your head to look at him, and rin could very much consider himself a lost man at that moment. your eyes were glistening from the remnant of tears, but that pretty gleam was still there, barging its way through any sadness and any fear to present itself with the shy smile you sent him.

even if it was still dark, he would be able to see it, because you shined. brightly, scorchingly and so, so mesmerizing, like some sort of classic painting worth millions of dollars. if rin had the choice, he wouldn’t want to look away. 

“i think it’s enough for today,” you said, “do you mind if we continue tomorrow?”

“i don’t mind,” rin answered, although he secretly wished to bask in your warmth for a little longer. “i’ll take you to your dorm building. i brought an umbrella.”

because he knew you were a klutz and would most likely forget. not that he paid attention to you or something. 

you smiled again, and rin had to use all of his might to let go of you and go back to his chair to pick up his stuff. silently, you both put away your things and left the study booth towards the exit, where the younger itoshi opened his umbrella and started to walk towards your destination. he felt his skin burning when you tangled your arm with his so that you were squeezed together under the shelter for the rain.

around ten minutes later, you finally arrived at your dorm building. and then, as the little minx you were, you stood on your toes to press a kiss to his cheek before running inside along with your goodbyes. 

“thank you, rin!”

he stood there like a statue for what felt like an eternity, feeling his face impossibly hot. rin touched his cheek in mild disbelief, feeling butterflies erupting on his stomach without permission. 

it was only then he realized you called him by his actual name, and a smile inevitably took over his features. 

fuck.

itoshi rin hated you. but that day, he discovered that he hated seeing you cry even more.

iv.

he didn’t really know what the fuck he was doing there. rin was not the kind of guy who went to parties, much less fraternity ones; but somehow he ended up in one on a saturday night after a lot of convincing from his teammates. he claimed he only accepted so that isagi would shut up and stop pestering him, but the said boy insisted to say he only agreed after learning you would be there. 

which was absurd, of course. a completely crazy, delusional and absurd thought. why would he want your obnoxious self to go and ruin the party? rin hated you. 

right?

the music was loud and the people were even louder. there were dozens of bodies on the makeshift dance floor swaying to the beat, along with some people playing beer pong and small groups scattered around talking as best as they could. rin was part of the last type, although he was tuning out everything that bachira blabbed on his ear like a madman. his focus was solely on the entrance.

and then, you came in. 

it was like a stupid romance movie — the way everything seemed to be in slow motion. from the way you walked, to the slight movement of your hair, to the blink of your curved eyelashes. and god, how much he hated that. 

he hated the way your mere presence prickled his skin. how your voice soothed his lousy thoughts, how your smile lit up the room. he hated this urge inside of him to look for you every time he knew you'd be in the same vicinity, like you were some source of life that he couldn’t live without. 

“are you okay, rin-chan?” bachira’s voice took him out of his thoughts. he blinked a few times.

“yeah, i’m fine.”

now, rin wasn’t a drinker; the red cup on his hand was merely for show. but he gulped some beer at that moment, as if trying to wake up from a hazy dream or get out of a trance. it made sense — he did think you were a siren of some sort. 

there was no other reason for the spell you put on him. 

the party went on, and he spent a few hours avoiding you like the plague and pretending he wasn’t stealing glances at every chance he got. truth is, he was always paying attention when you were swaying your hips on the dance floor like there was no tomorrow, glaring at every guy who thought about getting close while holding back his own desire to do the same.

it was only when you left to the backyard that his teammates finally decided to say something.

“you should talk to them” reo advised, eyebrows dancing in a weird, wiggly way. rin grimaced.

“what? why?”

the boys rolled their eyes and groaned, tired of the younger itoshi’s behavior. 

“rin, man. you are clearly interested in them. and i’m pretty sure they’re interested in you, too,” isagi said slowly, as if rin was a child. “otherwise, they wouldn’t make the effort to pester you.”

rin could feel his face flushing. “i’m not—”

“don’t even try to deny it. it’s kind of obvious, really,” chigiri butted in, an exasperated countenance on his face. “just go, rin.”

he let out a tsk, chugging the rest of his drink and throwing the cup on the trash. “i’m going out just because i don’t want to keep listening to you idiots.” 

“yeah, right,” nagi snickered, and the others followed, watching rin turn his back and move towards the backyard, where he would inevitably find you. 

the chilly air hit his skin the moment he stepped out, and rin kind of thanked the relief it gave to his hot cheeks. quickly looking around, it was easy to spot your lonely frame leaning on the wall, staring at the stars as if they weren’t in your eyes. he walked to you like his feet had their own will, and once he got close enough, leaned the side of his body on the wall, facing you.

“you’re cold.”

not even a hello, how are you to start. great conversationalist, itoshi rin.

you turned your head to look at him, smiling when recognition took over your features. “hey, itoshi! didn’t think i’d meet you here!”

the giggle that went past your lips was the only reason he didn’t scowl when you didn’t call him rin.

“parties are not really my thing, but my friends convinced me to come.” you nodded, understanding. he blinked a couple of times, and said again, “you’re cold.”

you slightly flushed. “it’s just a bit chilly, but it’s not a big deal…”

but rin was already shrugging off his jacket, moving to be right in front of you as if to shield you from the wind. he handed the piece of clothing to you. “here.”

“oh… thank you,” you answered, bashful, taking the jacket and putting it on. 

last time he lent you one, he didn’t stay to see how you looked like. but at that moment, rin was sure there was nothing prettier than the sight of you in his clothes. he swallowed a nervous lump from his throat.

“so… why are you out here by yourself?”

“needed some air. i danced a lot and it was kind of stuffy in there.” you shrugged. then, fiddling with your fingers, you look straight into his eyes. “and maybe… maybe i was hoping someone would follow.”

someone. you had your eyes on someone. 

rin didn’t know what was worse: the stinging pain on his heart or the bitter taste left on his tongue. what he did know was that both felt like poison, one that would spread through his veins and consume him whole. and that he shouldn’t feel like this. because he hated you, after all. 

he must have made a terrible grimace, because you threw your hands in the air in exasperation. 

“for fucks sake.”

and then your lips were on his. 

it was just a fleeting moment — something way too quick and definitely not enough to sate the dormant hunger inside of him. in the blink of an eye, you were already back in your place, staring at him with doe-eyes and a hundred doubts written in them. 

rin freezed for a whole full minute with his mouth agape, until finally lunging forward to kiss you again. his right arm wrapped possessively around your waist to glue your bodies together, while his left hand found a place in your jaw, cradling your face as if you were some precious jewel. his lips were hungry on yours, and you gasped with the intensity, giving him the opportunity to shove his tongue inside your mouth. 

kissing you was exhilarating, like scoring the perfect goal or winning a championship. adrenaline ran high on his veins and his head was a little airy. and rin swore he never felt so alive. 

when you finally parted, you were both panting, chest heaving with every breath. rin rested his forehead against yours, directing both of his hands to your middle as if to look for grounding. 

“you still hate me, itoshi?” you asked in a whisper, mouth inches away from his but still not close enough. that dangerous gleam was still settled in your eyes, and he could swear you were the perfect definition of sinful every time you batted your eyelashes at him.

“call me rin.”

“okay,” you giggled lightly. “you still hate me, rin?”

he could feel his blood pulsing on his ears. “yeah,” he answered, way too breathless for an athlete of his caliber. 

and then, holding your waist tighter, “kiss me again.”

v.

“we should get coffee.”

rin’s words cut the silence as you were exiting the library yet again. you looked up to see his face staring straight ahead, expression unreadable as always, but the light redness on the tip of his ears told you all you needed to know. 

you decided to be a tease, as always. “hm… i don’t know, should we? you sure you want to spend even more time with someone you hate?”

he scowled like usual, but this time, there was a small pout on his lips. you thought he looked the cutest when he was like that, all shy and trying to maintain his stoic act. 

he grumbled something under his breath. 

“what was that?”

“i said,” he sneered, “i don’t hate you, stupid.”

you arched your brow. “you don’t?”

“do you think i would have kissed you if i did?” the smirk you give him is both charming and infuriating. rin would have said he hated it, but he was done pretending. 

“i don’t know, itoshi. you are kind of emotionally constipated.”

“shut up,” rin quipped. then, he snaked your waist with his right arm as you walked side by side, pulling you closer. “and didn’t i tell you to call me rin?”

there was just mischief in your eyes when you answered, “yeah, but i like to get on your nerves.”

the male scoffed, still in disbelief with your antics. 

“you’re a damn brat. i think you just want me to teach you my name tonight.”

rin could practically feel the heat on your face, and he smirked when he saw how red you were. god, you were so cute. 

“at least take me to dinner first before we hate-fuck,” you still managed to joke, despite the slight shakiness in your voice. he rolled his eyes, and pulled you to a stop by the arm. 

you both stood in the middle of campus, feeling the gentle caress of the breeze and listening to the birds chirping. it was a peaceful day, with the sun high up in the baby blue sky. rin thought there was no better time than at that moment. 

his hand traced your arm until it reached your own, and he squeezed your fingers in reassurance. 

“i don’t hate you,” he said again. “i just hate the way i don’t hate you. not even close. not even a little bit. not even at all.”

he watched your eyes light up and smile brighter than the sun, and he almost laughed at the disbelief in your voice. 

“did you just quote ‘ten things i hate about you’?”

it was his time to flush. a small shrug was all rin answered with — he didn’t want you to know he specifically chose this sentence because that was your favorite movie. not like it mattered when you were gleaming at him and making his heart leap on his chest. 

“well, then,” you squeezed his hand back, “let’s get coffee, rin.”

[misasimagines]

ok sorry I'm studying Ren in a lab again. random thoughts

- he has asymmetrical earrings, one stud on one ear and two in the other. curious decision. but I do adore it.

- I love how he looks like he's trying to pose in a "I'm not posing, this is natural" way in his "melancholic misfit" card and in his sr uniform card and his casual outfit r card because it just makes me think he does care a lot about how he looks and how he's perceived. I just think he's the kind of person who spends a decent amount of thought and time to put together and outfit that looks like he's NOT trying but also doesn't make him look slobby. He spends time making his hair the Right amount of "I didn't do anything to it" but he did. For sure. so I also think he smells nice and fights really hard against smelling like the diner or any of the animals in Jabberwock. he puts effort in. He just won't let it be obvious. But I Know.

- I think he's one of the taller (not tallest but not mid or shortest) ones canonically? and I'm personally a believer in him just being bigger than he wants to even acknowledge. Like he doesn't want to take up space or be the guy who someone looks at when they're like "I need a strong man to help me carry these chairs!" Bc he doesn't want to help, but everyone probably was like. 👀 You will help, right? You can carry it right? case in point, carrying Haru in the Jabberwock chapters and being like whatever I'm not that strong, it's just easy when you do it like this. Okay. But also how did you know that? Also no, no it's not that easy to just fireman carry someone AND a little octopus AND a little bunny monster. I know you're a ghoul but christ. And he complains that Haru makes him lug around heavy things around Jabberwock. I'm only stating facts here.

- okay now I've pulled out the demonology research below

(source)

(source)

I'm crazy and I researched the demon that his stigma is likely unscrambled out to be. Of course take this all with a grain of salt because although I screenshot these from book excepts available through Google scholar, well... It's demonology and hermeticism and occultism and I'm not here to debate their credibility.

Anyway. Not much that explains explicitly what Ren's stigma would be, but our tsundere lazy gamer bf being contracted to a demon who ENCOURAGES sloth? Yeah that tracks.

also (source)

HMM? She who walks in the sea (recall Astaroth is the evolution of a female goddess Astarte/Ishtar/etc) and our gamer bf hates the water? Hmm.

(source)

this just was funny to me. he's built but he looks kinda fucked up.

(source)

and again, the commonality here is that 1) Astaroth stinky and 2) has some kind of knowledge of the past, present, and future/can divine these things at will. So? Why is his stigma related to cleaning/making the mess disappear? Could it have to do something with this control over the past/present/future? Can he change when something is occurring/has occurred? I have no clue, especially when, when it comes to ghouls who have some kind of idea about the Timeline, signs point to Taiga being the one to have that knowledge. If you look up Balam in the same books, well...

There is considerable overlap. So.... I don't know what to come away from this with lmao

I hesitate to make any theories based on the evolution from a fertility goddess because it's a reach and I have little to no expectation that it will be a point in his lore in game, but the information is there for you to do with what you will.

There's not that much like juicy information I could find in my short search that wasn't pay-walled or of dubious authenticity (reddit, blog post from 2003, etc). I could probably spend the time and find more, but alas, I don't have that college access to databases anymore </3 Please let me know if you come to any theories from this though!!

[froggibus]

Hello how are you? Idk if this has been written before cause I can't find something like it but I request a simple valorant x reader where they used to have a crush on her in like highschool or whatever hehe

(maybe yoru, phoenix , jett.. if you can then gekko!!)

Reunion - Yoru, Phoenix, Jett & Gekko

Genre: fluff! :)

CW: yoru being yoru, maybe a little ooc? mostly wholesome stuff

syd? doing a request? a miracle. technically reqs are closed rn but im still gonna work through a few of them

————

YORU 

probably had a huge crush on you but would never admit it

the kind of guy that would tease you/be lowkey mean to you just cause he likes you 

tsundere ass mf

after you guys graduate, he doesn’t see much of you after that 

and even if he does have lots of one night stands, this man struggles with emotional intimacy 

whenever he gets lonely he probably entertains the idea of cute lil y/n and what could have been if he wasn’t so shy 

when you join the protocol, it’s like he’s seen a ghost 

goes right back to that tsundere teenager and probably ignores you 

all the other agents warm to you right away tho so you’re naturally annoyed why this guy can’t let go of *whatever* you did to him in high school

on a mission with just the two of you, you finally confront him about his indifference towards you

things boil over and one thing leads to another and 

he kisses you

you’re literally so shocked you don’t even close your eyes

he pulls away, cheeks BURNING and refuses to look at you

“why do you have to make everything so difficult for me y/n?”

????

FINALLY admits he likes you after all this time 

PHOENIX  

he was flirty with everyone in high school, so you never caught on when he flirted with you

but this man was DOWN BAD

he probably asked you out at least once but you thought it was a joke/more flattery and brushed him off 

rip phoenix 

he tries to connect with you after graduation but life gets in the way, and then he joins the protocol 

whenever his relationships don’t work out or he’s on his last leg on a mission, he finds your face flashing through his mind 

when he gets back from a bad mission and still sees your face, he thinks he’s losing it 

“phoenix? you okay?”

bro is not okay

spends the next three weeks doing stupid stunts to try and impress you 

only succeeds in setting multiple objects on fire, spraining his wrist and getting a lot of lectures from Brim

you end up bringing him hot chocolate & rum to lift his spirits after he’s essentially put in a time out

“so, are you gonna tell me why you had a sudden bout of pyromania?”

sighs and finally admits he has a crush on you and has for a long time

you kiss him to let him know you feel the same way

and then the two of you spend the rest of the night getting drunk and laughing about how stupid you guys were in high school

JETT 

she liked you a lot in high school and didn’t know how to express it

probably tried asking you out more than once and failed miserably

just stumbled over her words all cutely and then says “never mind” and runs away

you thought it was cute and never really thought too much of it

after high school, you think about her a lot and start to realize she probably liked you

and poor jett is so swamped with missions she barely has time to settle down

and even if she does, she can’t find someone to keep up with her 

she’s ecstatic when she sees you joined the protocol 

a second chance!!

you get a little flustered around her now that you know about her high school crush and you somewhat hope she still feels the same way

she’s surprisingly matured and isn’t nearly as flustered around you as she used to be

tries her best to make you feel included too

 it’s not long before her old feelings come bubbling to the surface tho

she’s probably the most emotionally mature of the group so she just straight up confesses to you 

both of you are tired from a mission and share a half kiss/half hug where you’re just leaning against each other 

GEKKO 

he was definitely popular in high school but it never went to his head, he just did his thing and hung out at the skatepark 

bit of a rebel 

he mostly just admired you from afar, and if you were ever together for group projects, flirted with you lowkey

never anything serious or enough to make you actually realize how he feels 

but enough to keep him infatuated 

when Brim announces that you guys have a new agent joining the protocol, you do not expect it to be Mateo 

both of you are shocked (it’s like the Spider-Man meme irl)

you do your best to make him feel welcome, taking him around and introducing him to everyone 

you decide one night to take him out for drinks with some of the other agents!! 

everyone starts to leave until it’s just you and Gekko

you’re both a little tipsy and start talking about high school

he admits he had a crush on you in high school and that he’s super happy you guys get to see each other again

kisses you & asks you if you want to go out again

[cometrose]

Are you still looking for reasons to yap about Zhongli? Because I would love to hear your thoughts on his relationship with Hu Tao ;w;

I think my favorite thing about Hu Tao and Zhongli is that they're both literally insane. Psychological terrors.

Hu Tao will put a whoopee cushion on your chair and laugh when you sit on it. Zhongli will gaslight you into believing the whoopee cushion never existed and that you just sat and jumped up all on your own.

Hu Tao is deliberate and overt with her pranks while Zhongli is a subtle and mischievous trickster. They both just terrorize the general populace. You talk to them for longer than 10 minutes and you start hearing voices. Zhongli just gets away with it because he has the elegance and aura of a god.

Like Hu Tao will tease Furina by telling scary stories or tales of ghosts while Zhongli would probably tease her by calling her as 'lovely as goddess' or 'a lady blessed by gods'.

People always say Zhongli is cold but he's just a silly little liar like 50% of the time. Lying about being in the chasm, tricked some guy out of two hand-painted fans, led these two fake archeologists on a quest just to deny them of their dreams at the last moment, acting like he's never met the adepti, ignoring venti at the restaurant, hiding from neuvillette, lying to xiao about sesame oil and teasing him at the restaurant like the list goes on, faking his fucking death like he is just a fucking terror. No wonder he and Hu Tao get along well.

Speaking of their dynamic I think they play off each other very nicely. Before Hu Tao was released it was suggested that Hu Tao teases Zhongli endlessly to the point of exasperation but it seems like their teasing is mutual and Zhongli is just being an overdramatic tsundere (like always). Hu Tao makes fun of him at Lantern Rite but he just teases her right back. I imagine Hu Tao is constantly trying to get him to admit or confess to being an adeptus and he always manages to one up her at the last second to avoid saying anything.

I believe the two of them would make perfect partners in any business. Imagine Hu Tao and Zhongli as detectives lol, Hu Tao would chase down the suspect having figured out the case within 5 minutes while Zhongli would already be there waiting for Hu Tao to chase the suspect down cause he figured it out after 30 seconds. They would barely listen to the authorities and do whatever they wanted as long as it wasn't against the law.

But then again they have this really good balance. Hu Tao is a fire force of nature, energetic, playful and proud. But she has a very thoughtful side to her, she's a sharp thinker, with a love for poetry, music, and appreciation for life. Zhongli is much the same. He is thoughtful and caring, kind with a love for the arts, but he is rather mischievous, and a little manipulative with a taste for having fun in his own way. They are tricksters with a love for life and the arts just two very different auras. In many ways I would say they are more alike than different

They even work in gameplay! Double hydro Hu Tao aka Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Yelan and Zhongli is probably my strongest and most optimized team for the Spiral Abyss. I use them like every round and it works.

Unpopular opinion I guess but I have never really cared for the headcanon of Hu Tao as Zhongli's daughter. Not so much as I dislike it but I greatly prefer the crazy boss and even crazier secretary/employee dynamic. No but really the weirdo leader and their insane but incredibly loyal underling is like one of my favorite tropes. I just wouldn't alter anything about their relationship. 

Besides if I were to assign Hu Tao and Zhongli a familial bond it would be siblings with a large age gap. Like siblings that are 10+ years apart so the eldest practically helps raise the younger one but it’s not like they are the parent (they have parents) but rather the eldest is a weird person who takes care of the youngest but also makes fun of them within the same minute.

Part of the reason I love Zhongli and Hu Tao is how much trust is in their relationship. Hu Tao states in her story lines that she trusts Zhongli more than anything and considering Zhongli’s influence in the parlor and how he works with Baizhu, trains the other workers and is in charge of all adepti related matters it is safe to say he has a lot of input even though he is just an employee. Xianyun states it is odd for Rex Lapis to work under her but she won’t go against his wishes and that she must be respectable. So even though Zhongl may suggest he is tired of her, for a 6000 year old deity to pick a job and stick with it it must be a damn good job. 

And their interactions are the best, in the 2022 Lantern Rite when Hu Tao told Zhongli to pick her up after she hung out with Zhongli or the fact it seems they always spend Lantern Rite together which is just the best. Or the poetry event where she kept bugging him to be a better judge but Zhongli was too busy praising everybody.

They may not ever say how much they care about each other but the way Hu Tao checks on Zhongli after meeting Furina because she was worried about him just awww. Zhongli is a dusty old encyclopedia man but he is still her beloved consultant who she cares about. Hu Tao may be a child he cannot deal with but he always looks out for her.

Hu Tao and Zhongli are always competing for the top spot in my favorite Zhongli dynamics they are both two characters I really like and I like whenever they are together even more.

Bonus + related art + rambling under the cut

Originally I just wanted draw Dexter in a cheerleader outfit (an excuse to put him a skirt for pure funsies) and so I did! Which is art is below that i drew like a long time ago now.

It was just Dexter at first but I am a dexdark shipper so I had to have him react somehow. Then I remembered there was a comic about an athletic Mandark so I added him in his outfit from the comic.

Then my mind like it always does, wandered and created a short story to make sense of why they would be in this position in the first place.

~~~

After years and years of competing with Dexter relentlessly, Mandark had gotten into a rut during his high school years. He's absolutely frustrated that he's STILL second best to him.

(The time the art is placed is late hs years)

So what does a teen genius do? He explores outside of the science community and what do you know. . . he's actually not half bad at sports. He quickly abandons science for it. Mandark is thriving. Why didn't he try this sooner? And Dexter? He's so confused. Never thought his greatest rival would ditch him science for a mere physical activity. Determined to find the bottom of this he goes directly to the source of his confusion and asks. It goes as well as you think. Not at all. Plan B. Find a way to get close enough without raising too much suspicion. How? Cheerleading.

It honestly wasn't that hard to join. He's cute and flexible enough due to the battle he's faced through out the years. Plus a recommendation from his dear sister, Deedee, quickly received him a spot.

(HAVE YOU SEEN HIM DO FLIPS IN THE START OF EGO TRIP?? BOY IS READY)

The idea seemed brilliant at the time. That is until he found out he had to wear a skirt of all things. Deedee secretly tricked as a little bit of revenge. It wasn't too bad in the end. He rocks skirt ngl. With the excuse of having come to rehearsals and games that involved Mandark, things have become much easier to keep a closer look on him.

His sudden presence certainly didn't go noticed. Mandark's eye often drifted to the redhead that cheered him on during events. And oh, what an ego boost. His former rival cheering on? Yelling out his number whenever he had the ball? Wishing for him to succeed? Even if it was for only the cheerleaders' expectation to do so. How addicting.

He cornered Dexter right after. "That 'M' for me, McPherson?" Mandark teased. Knowing the "M" was their school's name. "How kind of you." "In your dreams, Astronomanov." It continued on like for a while.

They lap it like fucking cream. They've missed this. The feeling buried was bubbling up to the surface once again. Stealing quick glances, the playful jabs, grins matching the other's.

Who made the first move? It wasn't clear. It seemed so natural to be in the other's presence. Both just eased into they didn't even noticed.

Meanwhile, the science department was taking heavy losses. They lost their best two students. Ended up begging the two come back.

Eventually Dexter and Mandark did return but as partners this time.

. . . Douglas? He was thrown out of the loop about the entire thing. He missed out a lot when watching from afar. No one told him they were switching sides! What the heck guys. :/

He wouldn't survived the switch anyway. He's athletic pathetic. Stay on your game boy, Douglas. It's better this way.

~~~

Details I didn't include

Mandark was indeed incredibly suspicious of Dexter's switch

He was a total tsundere about Dexter's outfit (he did like it)

They had a talk about why they made a switched. talk about it and sealed it with a kiss (maybe :3)

Mandark said science for geeks but he's a geek through and through. he couldn't resist science for too long

Sports department was crying after

They do the same thing in college but in different uniforms (already drawn but not sharing that here :>)

I'm definitely forgetting more details but i am drawing blanks here

~~~

Bonus!

"You know there are male cheerleaders, right?"

"I like the breeze it gives." Half truth. Was told they ran out of male uniforms. <- Lie by Deedee

"Hm. If you say so." Gay panic

Inspired by a scene of Daffy Duck from Looney Tunes (2011)

Thank you for reading!

[dollyprincessollie]

please tell us about avery pokemon i don't know much about him but you post about him a lot

HI UR ENABLING MY TENDENCIES. I LOVE MY LITTLE VIDEO GAME BOYFRIEND

but ask amd u shall receive. i will now be listing off every piece of canon information abt him i can think of. HERE GOES

Avery is a tall, skinny (but he has, and i usually dont like these words together, thick thighs) white guy with long blond hair and like. those creepy kinda icy blue eyes 👁👁

He's a psychic type trainer and minor-division gym leader!!! he's also an ACTUAL psychic, hailing from a long lineage of psychics, and has telekinetic abilities :3 however, telekinesis is the only psychic ability he has, so he's kind of the black sheep of his family

because his family thought of him as a disappointment, he developed a like. superiority complex to compensate for his simultaneous inferiority complex. he's very prideful and even would go so far as to LITERALLY LEVITATE PEOPLE if they won against him in battles. he basically covers up his feelings of inadequacy by flaunting his good qualities, though he's prone to exaggerating them as well. he literally straight up pretends to have psychic visions and literally goes "AVERY TELEPORT" when leaving the area

he initially arrived at the dojo in the isle of armor due to being kicked out of the league as a gym trainer for levitating people 💀 he was kind of an asshole at first but since mustard and honey were so nice to him, he kinda chilled out too. HOWEVER when he met the player character, his Superiority-Inferiority complex kind of came back in full swing. he saw that they were better than them and literally LIED to them to keep them away from the dojo. when they make their way to the dojo, he basically fought tooth and nail to make sure he bested them in all of the trials, going so far as to even cheat during the battle by setting up psychic terrain, giving himself an advantage 😭

after he's beaten, he basically goes tsundere mode and is like. "If Only I Was As Strong As . . . BAH FORGET IT ." and after the player beats mustard, avery like. kind of realizes that he wants to be acknowledged by them. he literally trains alone in the dam desert like "OH SLOWPOKE WE'RE REALLY IN IT NOW .... OH TO BE RECOGNIZED BY YOU-KNOW-WHO...." and from then on u can battle him every day :3

after all this, he becomes the minor-division psychic leader 🫡 hard work DOES PAY OFF

AND NOW FOR SOME MISCELLANEOUS but still canon facts

avery's final team is galarian slowbro, galarian rapidash, swoobat (she's the only girl in his team btw :3), alakazam, and galarian slowking! in the galarian star tournament, he only uses his slowbro, alakazam, and slowking :3

avery (and klara, by extension) has a chance of fighting alongside u in a raid battle on the isle of armor! idk what the exact likelihood is though but they Definitely don't show up with each one but. he still oulls up on occasion o7

in the galarian star tournament, he has special dialogue with mustard, bede, fucking SHIELBERT, marnie, and melony!

it's implied that he's afraid of dark types, considering said special dialogue with marnie is like "🥲 I Do Not Wish To Be On The Field With A Dark Type Trainer, But At Least We Are On The Same Side." becaude of this, it could ALSO be implied that he's afraid of ghost types and bug types, considering that dark, ghost, and bug are all strong against psychic types

according to the manga, he's a little weak and tires easily due to his reliance on his telekinesis

...HOWEVER, his second league card shows him.doing pushups with a whole ass galarian slowbro on his back WITHOUT telekinesis, so despite his low stamina, he can lift at least 155.4 lb

due to his speech patterns, avery seems to have a pretty keen ability to associate things with psychic types, or pokemon in general. he often incorporates different psychic type moves in his speech and talks about people (or, the player, specifically) as if they have like. pokemon natures (bold, quirky, hasty, etc.)

avery strongly values elegance and tries to conduct himself in a very gentlemanly way <3 however, he's not immune to being sassy and definitely will be snooty to someone's face

besides the psychic type uniform, avery's clothing is definitely 19th-century inspired! his hat, cravat, shoes, and socks are definitely inspired by victorian dandyism imo. even his glasses are very victorian

THIS IS ALL I HAVE FOR RIGHT NOW.... this is (almost) every piece of canon info i have abt my sweet booboo bear avery *kisses him*... i can also delve into headcanons but. i thought i would delve into the actual factual stuff

[myrfing]

msq thought

you know i get erenville is embarrassed to be at home so to speak and out of his element but mr erenville you are being far more grouchier than usual. and frankly mean sometimes. i mean it's not like we knew him very well but it feels a little tsundere flanderization whereas he just had a very frank nature before. OK it's fine. but stop being mean to wuk.

also the #diversity thing is making me laugh. eorzea is literally the same guys

[parasiticghostwasps]

Some thoughts on the characters in Touchstarved, based on the demo. Spoilers for the demo and I’ll be bringing up spoilers from other promo material that aren’t in the demo as well

Just gonna go in order of introduction here

Kuras

I don’t really have much of a read on him yet. He definitely comes off as the most likable and trustworthy of the love interests so far

I want to get past his seemingly unshakeable demeanor and see his flaws and learn his tragic backstory

The fact that his first line is “do not be afraid” is great, though. Fun foreshadowing to him being an angel

Also him cheating the person from the Senobium when you follow him out of the bar is fun

Leander

I don’t have much to say about him. He’s cute, but the one who intrigued me the least

I did notice that he’s the only one whose silhouette in the background of the promo posts is the same silhouette as his sprite lol. He’s being set up as the most human romance option

What Vere says about the Bloodhounds and the Senobium being the same caught my attention. I would love to see his good intentions take a dark turn, even if it’s just in the Bloodhounds harboring a corruption that wasn’t what he meant them to be

Vere

Not kidding about being good at killing. I think he’s the only one who can kill you in the demo

He’s a foxboy and I was pleasantly surprised that he’s not especially feral or animalistic. He’s more of a vampiric sensibility, a cunning predator who lures you in with roguish charm and plays with you before going in for the kill

The looming shadow before you see him. The way he steals your key. The part where he references the backstory you chose that you definitely did not tell him. Whatever makes you want to surrender to him. Maybe not all of these will be related to supernatural powers he has, but he clearly has powers that aren’t explained in the demo

I like the sense of kinship he seems to have with the protag upon finding out that they aren’t a normal human. The way he talks about the two of them being the same sort of thing. That’s juicy, I wanna see that develop into a greater and greater affection

I was not interested in him before the demo and he’s totally won me over. I’m scared of his power, sympathetic to his bondage, and I wanna know his deal. Definitely the character I’m most eager to learn more about

Ais

The first time through the demo, he kinda convinced me he was secretly a cool guy. The second time through the demo, I payed more attention to the ways he’s violent and controlling

I am inclined to believe he wants to be a good guy. But he’s clearly powerful and likes being powerful and has some fun abusing his power. That’s dangerous. That scares me more than Vere, tbh

I have no idea what to make of his brief mention of a presence in his head, but I’m intrigued. Is it because of the seaspring? Is it what stopped him from losing his mind to the seaspring? Something else entirely?

I’ve been pronouncing his name “aye-ees.” Since the Kickstarter got enough money for VAs, there’s a chance that this will be canonically the wrong pronunciation and I’ll be disappointed UPDATE: I was pronouncing his name wrong, but it’s fine. Glad to know sooner rather than later when I’m already stuck in my ways

I hope protag can have tentacle sex with him

Mhin

The other promo materials seem to suggest they’re some sort of were-crow and they’re so adamant about pushing people away because they don’t want to hurt people when they become a monster and lose control

I like the commonality of them and the protag both being outsiders and that they seem to also have come to rid themself of a curse that makes them dangerous to other people

The part where Kuras escorts you to the bar and Mhin follows you two, even though they were talking like they wanted nothing to do with you….. they come off as real lonely and tsundere

I am incredibly weak to characters who self-isolate despite wanting connection. So naturally, I love them

[writerofjourneys]

Please tell me I’m not the only one who sees the resemblance

This was wild for me to see! If I brought out more photos then they’d really would look identical. Minus the height. What P3 Protag would look like in royal wear is what my brain is thinking. But between the two, of course I’d choose my dear S.E.E.S leader. Especially given the past actions of the other guy (but he’s not bad in the second timeline though, he became a different person.)

Like, seriously fandom; and fanfic writers who all differed the ending and broke the canon ship up from blindness, 2nd Ruve does NOT deserve your ire, he’s a seriously sweet and considerate gentleman, so let them be together damn it! He does get character growth, and he understood Aristia’s trauma and was respectful of her personal space.

He’s practically helped her more than anyone in the story. Ruveliss is gentlemanly, respectful, he doesn’t pull any tricks or manipulation, he makes genuine conversations, he’s not cruel to Aristia or anyone else, he’s rational and understanding. He reads the room and knows not to push (like giving Aristia space from him). Being the only person to talk about what her mother was like when no one else really does. Help when she’s troubled, give her time on the Empress decision between her and the rival girl. He does a lot. And she grows to understand that and reciprocate in turn. Comforting him on his father’s funeral, and wanting him to live when he’s poisoned. She even cries for him. Ruveliss even has a good friendship/professional relationship with his assistant; who even offers words of comfort to the Prince in a chapter.

There are plenty of characters who’ve gone that route yet will win favours by fans, that just makes it hypocrisy, and 2nd Ruve is a saint compared to others! Has nobody heard of timelines? Nature vs nurture? How the world can influence you and how you influence back? Reformed/isekai/past life characters are in pretty much the same boat, yet they don’t get this kind of heat. Like:

Claude & Anastasius de Alger Obelia, Casian Spenner, cast of The Strongest Characters In The World Are Obsessed With Me, cast of The Twin Siblings’ New Life, Arsene Graroy, Killian Devonshire, Dillon Von Vasilios & Kyle Chrysia from The Reason Why The Twin Lady Crossdresses (which is considered as a sort of successor to The Abandoned Empress. I wouldn’t have called it that though. But honestly 2/3 male love interests are real jerks in the beginning. One with ulterior motives/blackmail on FL, the other just being arrogant and narcissistic), Rupert from Your Majesty, Please Don’t Kill Me (This one has tons of similarities that readers are blind to also. He has a rough and mean personality in the beginning, like a hard tsundere. It’s amazing how there’s so many positive comments for the main ship yet Ruve and Aristia’s get majorly belittled), I could keep going. It’s honestly ridiculous.

2nd Ruve and Aristia’s relationship is a healthy one. If the subjective POV of Aristia’s 1st life wasn’t told in the beginning or ever or another manner, 2nd Ruve and the ending would’ve gotten better support and care. I’m not undermining Aristia’s trauma, but I’m also not going to agree that 2nd Ruve should take blame and responsibility for it. This was random but I just thought to share this, I found it interesting.

Ruvellis Kamaludin Shana Castina from The Abandoned Empress

Protagonist from Persona 3

[eggluttony]

Doctor Eggman invites King Sharyar over for a feast. Sharyar thinks Eggman is finally acknowledging his kingly greatness when in reality the doctor is planning to stuff the king until he's castle sized.

Ohoho yesss. Being presented with a huge delicious feast is a great delight to Shahryar, it'd lure him in exactly as it does Eggman. He knows for a fact as his counterparts always love to eat too and Shahryar appears to be no exception with the size of his big belly. From the moment he first saw, it he thought of feeding it and proving that by finding out truly how much he can eat.

Shahryar is impressed with the huge feast set out on the table when he arrives and says "It seems you finally understand how to win me over. This is how I really should be treated as king" as Eggman has been attempting to flirt with and charm him for a while but Shahryar was all tsundere and tried to look like he's not into it lol. He's lot more openly positively receiving to this, a good sign.

They quickly dig in and neither are afraid to eat with the same gusto and greed they do in private. They're both big guys and it's obvious they like to eat a lot and fast, there's no need to hide it and they hardly even think to anyway. Eggman is very pleased every time he looks up to see Shahryar really going for it, stuffing his face and never slowing down. It's no wonder he has a fat belly too.

They both try to clear as many of the dinner platters at the table as they can, their bellies get fuller and bigger gradually and it feels so good to supply them well and fill them up fast. They both naturally eat beyond comfortable fullness as is the usual for both of them. They're so into it that they barely chat much during it and whenever they do, their mouths are full and never empty.

Eggman stops when he feels satisfyingly stuffed and sits back in his seat to belch as he slaps his huge swollen full belly that proceeds him. Shahryar frowns and says "Where are your manners?" because it's no way to act in front of the king! Eggman just giggles cheekily and says "Pardon me~" insincerely. He's eaten enough to feel satisfyingly stuffed and decides not to go any further than that.

Shahryar considers himself finished too. His belly feels as overfull and content as it does when he's satisfied with a feast. When he pushes the dishes away and sits back too, Eggman asks "What are you doing?" and confuses Shahryar. He asks "What do you mean? I'm done with my food." Eggman says "You're nowhere near done yet! That's not how you dine like a king! Are you really royalty or not?"

Of course Shahryar immediately gets defensive just like Eggman knew he would and says "Of course I am and you must respect and treat me as one!" and Eggman says "Well you better prove it then and eat like one. Now eat up, there's still plenty left." Shahryar hesitates and looks unsure of what to do. He really wasn't planning on eating more, he feels as full as he should. No appetite.

He can't bring himself to reach for more. When he still doesn't start eating again, Eggman says "Ohh I see, are you expecting to be fed by me like the king you are too?" as he thinks about how his servants would often feed him. While that isn't the case as he really just feels like he's done, he just decides to nod and go with it because he doesn't want him doubting his kingliness again.

Eggman slides another couple of platters towards him and starts feeding it to him from them interchangeably. Shahryar just accepts and keeps going. "That's it, I know you wanted it really." Eggman smiles as he soon has the king swallowing down more food again. This isn't true, he really would've been happy stopping right now but he needs to prove that he's a real king to be respected.

After he clears a couple more platters, his stomach is feeling tight and hefty beyond his desired fullness. But Eggman only slides the next two full platters up to him and repeats the same thing. He seems to feed him a bit faster than the last in fact. Shahryar tries to hide his surprise because he doesn't want to be teased again and just keeps swallowing it down like a true king should.

He can really start to feel his full belly starting to stretch to try to fit the food that's still continuously flowing down his throat and into his stomach. A burp escapes him and he sighs from the slight relief of tightness but it doesn't stop much. Eggman is pleased to hear this burp and says "Finally, we're starting to get somewhere." Shahryar thinks to himself "Finally starting to?" He's so full!

But Eggman keeps feeding him and gets him to clear those next couple of platters. Then he slides yet another in front of him. Shahryar tries to hide his surprise and Eggman acts like he hasn't noticed how much he's eaten and just keeps feeding him more. "Come on let's speed up and really get into this now." Again, Shahryar feels like he's already "gotten into it" more than enough.

But Eggman is very happy continuing to feed him with no signs of finishing any time soon. Shahryar burps some more and begins to quietly moan from how stuffed he is but Eggman still keeps going. He starts to think that maybe he just somehow doesn't notice the signs of him feeling extremely overfull right now or he takes it as a sign to continue because he doesn't slow down.

Maybe he doesn't realize how round and firm his belly is becoming under his luxurious silky robes. Because they are very loose fitting and have a lot of room because he's a comfy guy. But man, is his belly bulging full underneath them. It's so big and swollen under there and it's starting to ache from the food that continues to enter it nonstop. It starts to gurgle in protest of being overfed.

Eggman just puts another platter in front of him and keeps feeding him and Shahryar finally moans and whispers "Mmhh, sooo full..." as a hint. Eggman says "Oh really?" and checks by finally running his hands over his belly through his robes. Shahryar moans as his big hands collide with his firm round sensitive belly from having so much food forced into it. He hopes he'll realize now.

But instead he just says "Oh yeah, it feels so good doesn't it?" and keeps going. Shahryar really didn't expect to have to eat this much more be fed by him at all. He thought the feast was so big to be split between them, not that most of it was going into his belly! He's already eaten far more than what he'd usually have in his big royal feasts to himself. This is on a whole other level!

Shahryar whimpers as his swollen bloated belly is forced to expand even more and really starts to ache. Eggman says "What's the matter?" and Shahryar says "Alright, alright, I've had enough now. UURRRP! Too much..." But Eggman just says "You can't be done yet, you need to eat like a true king and they deserve more than this~" He doesn't want him to stop now, it's so exciting.

Shahryar whimpers again and Eggman just hushes him and muffles the sound by keeping his mouth full. He keeps a hand in his robes to rub his stuffed belly while he keeps feeding him to soothe and to feel how full it is. It's packed tight and feels so huge. The way Shahryar sighs and groans from now sensitive it's become just excites Eggman and makes him want to feed him more.

He loves how he looks with his fat cheeks full of food like a greedy fatty, swallowing down more while he's already stuffed and groaning so he just keeps shoving more into his mouth. Shahryar says "Why won't you stop feeding me? I feel like I'm going to explode." and Eggman is just cheeky like "You mean why won't you stop eating. You're the one that keeps accepting, chewing, and swallowing!"

Shahryar pouts at the teasing because he can't exactly argue against it this time. He doesn't have to open his mouth, chew, and swallow but he keeps doing it because he's so greedy. And when he looks down, he can tell Eggman is clearly excited with his erection that's stretching his bodysuit, so he doesn't have to wonder why he won't stop feeding him. They're both loving this, clearly.

Eggman announces that it's the final push for him to be done now but Shahryar doesn't feel like he can handle even a bite more. He gulps and seems nervous, finally admitting that he's definitely really had enough now and doesn't think his stomach can hold anymore. But Eggman says "Come on, I know you can do it, you have to! You've been doing so well!"

He's moaning and sighing as Eggman holds and gently rubs his belly to support it while he stuffs it even more. It's so overstuffed that it gurgles and groans and Shahryar moans and pants between big burps. Eggman kisses his chubby cheek full of food and tells him he's so handsome and such a good boy for this. Shahryar likes that he's so proud of him and it helps him finish.

When he's finally done, they're both very surprised and impressed that he managed to eat the entire rest of the feast by himself! His belly looks five times bigger than when he came here. They're both in awe as Eggman pulls the robes away so it's exposed and rubs and caresses it. A loud deep belch that he really needed escapes Shahryar and Eggman is so excited by it.

Shahryar groans and burps nonstop as Eggman rubs his belly and asks "Why did you feed me so much? I'm too full. OURRRRP!" and Eggman says "No you're not, you've finally eaten just about enough! You're a king, aren't you? You're supposed to dine like one!" Shahryar is like "Indeed but my feasts are never this big!" He's never felt so stuffed in his life and he's had many big feasts to himself.

"Well that means you've finally eaten enough like you're really supposed to. And it feels good, doesn't it?" Eggman says as he plays with Shahryar's belly, holding, caressing, rubbing and patting it. When he grabs a couple of thick rolls in his hands and shakes it, Shahryar groans and how heavy and packed full it feels. "Now that's the belly of a well fed king~" Eggman coos, feeling proud of his work.

Shahryar feels more like a big fat overfed blob of lard, so heavy and full that he can't bring himself to move. But he sure does feel like royalty when he's lay back on soft silk cushions with his gut very well supplied with a huge feast that was fed to him and is now being rubbed and worshipped. He feels like a big pampered fatty in luxury, exactly the way every well respected king should be!

But ohh he's just too stuffed full. It feels like Eggman got too excited and went really overboard with the size of the feast he had made for him. It started as a feast for them to share, yet the amount of it that Eggman expected him to eat was so much bigger than the entire feasts he usually gets all to himself! And he usually doesn't have to eat every single bite. Yet every dish here is completely empty now.

"Uughh, I do think you fed me a bit too much though. I'm sooo stuffed!" He whines as he looks down at his belly in disbelief. It's so packed full and looks absolutely enormous, he can't believe it's his and the amount of food stuffed in there. It looks the biggest and fullest it's ever been in his life, it's absolutely bulging and proceeds him so far. His fat spills out so much further than usual.

"Mmm nah, I didn't. If that was true then you wouldn't have kept eating like such a greedy fatty. You clearly needed it. You're just finally stating to eat the amount a big royal fatass like you has really needed all this time. The better you supply it, the longer it'll stay full. And the king should never go hungry for second!" Eggman has a very cheeky look on his face as Shahryar's eyes widen.

"So are you saying you're going to feed me this much again? It wasn't just a special occasion?" He's nervous at the sight of a very big smirk on Eggman's face. "Oh yeah, I am. An increase of your intake was due and you've proven you can handle it. From now on, you can really be fed like the king you are!" Eggman sounds very happy and excited as he announces this.

Shahryar may gulp at the thought of having to eat like this at least once more but he has no idea what's on Eggman's mind. Thoughts of feeding him like this over and over, so his belly always looks five times bigger than he started, until it already looks that big when he starts, then bigger and bigger, maybe making him eat more each time so he becomes the biggest fattest king in the world!

Shahryar struggles to get to bed, waddling with his huge stuffed full belly hanging heavy in from of him, making him feel slow and sluggish. His stomach is making very loud gurgling noises now as it tries to process and digest all that food and he can't stop burping and groaning. It's so adorable and hot, how he struggles and huffs and pants and clutches his belly to give it support.

Eggman helps him navigate and says "So sorry you have to walk all this way to bed, kings like you shouldn't have to walk like this, especially not after a big royal feast. If only some of your men were here to carry you. I'll have some robots ready next time to help." As hot as it is to watch, it'd be even hotter if he didn't get the slightest ounce of exercise after, not even a short walk to bed, so he will have that arranged to keep him lazy and fat.

When he makes it to the bed he collapses onto it and it creaks so loudly and dips a lot despite how it's supposed to be made to hold fatties like him and Eggman. But all the pounds of food in his gut are making him so much heavier than usual and the bed is struggling. He can't believe how much like a huge mountain his belly looks even when he's lay back too, there's way too much food in there!

Eggman is also very proud of how much he managed to stuff him. He runs his hands over his huge belly and rubs it slowly and Shahryar moans and whimpers softly again. It's absolutely enormous, his soft fat is spilling out much further than usual and beneath the softness is a huge overexpanded stomach packed so full and tight. He's never felt so massive and maxed out.

He can't stop moaning when Eggman rubs it as embarrassed as he is when he's been so stubborn and tsundere towards his advances for a while. But his stomach is so sensitive when so overstuffed, he can't help but moan from the pain of the ache and the relief of the soothing. And it does feel pleasurable too, though he's still too stubborn to admit that now. But he's so stuffed he welcomes his touch, he needs it right now, he tells himself.

"I know, it feels so good doesn't it? To have such big beautiful well fed royal belly. That's why we need to feed you like his more." Eggman coos and smiles at Shahryar's cute moans that he'd been wanting to hear for a long time. Shahryar does feel like a spoiled and pampered king, with an overstuffed belly being rubbed and worshipped. And he sure does feel like he has a king-sized belly!

Eggman then reads a bedtime story to him in the way Shahryar loves and demands every night but he keeps burping over Eggman's reading because he can't help it and he finds it cute. When he's done, Shahryar whispers "Please do it again." Eggman is like "Do what? Oh, rub your belly? See, you love me really." then has a smug knowing smirk on his face. Finally, he's getting confirmation!

"It doesn't mean anything, my servants do the same all the time!" Shahryar gets all defensive as usual. "And you're going to tell me you don't have a thing for those hunks too?" Eggman raises a brow. "Okay, you're right. Just for tonight, if it means I can get a rub." Shahryar huffs in defeat. Eggman is very pleased to hear that he's won for a change. Food and belly rubs really is the way to his heart!

He enjoys watching how Shahryar's eyes close and how he looks relaxed as he enjoys the rubs. He's still moaning quietly nonstop because it's just too much, the bulging fullness is just so intense. He sighs breathlessly in relief at the deep burps it works up. "Are you really going to keep feeding me like this everyday?" Shahryar asks. He just can't believe it or imagine eating like this ever again.

"Your palace has lots of room for you to grow, so you better keep eating up!" Is all that Eggman says with a sly smirk as he pats his huge belly. Shahryar blushes hard, his palace is so huge he has no idea how much he could mean and what he's planning but he can sure it'll be a lot with how much he fed him! Now it makes sense, he didn't just want to overfeed him, he wanted to make him fatter.

"So you didn't just want to feed me a nice feast, you want to fatten me up. You bastard." Shahryar huffs. But Eggman says "I want both for you! You really should be eating much more like the royalty you are and I want to help you with that. And with the bigger belly you'll naturally get from that, everyone will truly see and respect you as the king you are~ Isn't that what you wanted?"

Shahryar thinks about it and nods.

"Of course you do. So you're gonna keep eating as well as you did today!" Eggman tries to contain his excitement but Shahryar has no idea the wild things running through his mind. He doesn't know he wants to fatten him up until his butt gets too big for his throne and his body too wide for his bed, he'll truly be king-sized when he's bigger than a throne and king-sized bed.

He likes thinking about him having a huge excessively overfed royal belly that's very stuffed and gets bigger all the time. Hell, he really does have so much room to grow in his huge palace and he wants to take advantage of that space. He wants to make him the size of his palace. The thought has him throbbing like crazy as he rubs Shahryar's belly and imagines it being so so so much bigger.

Shahryar already feels massive with his enormous stuffed belly pinning him down, he certainly does feel like a very spoiled and pampered royal fatass. But it does feel pretty good once it's all settled in and he feels very well fed and satisfied. Perhaps he could get used to this, maybe he really should be a bit fatter... Maybe people will finally see and respect him as the king more and won't be so rude!

But he doesn't know yet that Eggman isn't just thinking about a "little bit". It never is, it's always to the extreme and maximum. Over time he will start to find out with the many more stuffings to come! Eggman gets excited at the thought of feeding him another big feast as early as tomorrow morning as he lulls him to sleep by rubbing his immensely full belly. This'll be sure to help him gain!

Deep Levihan

Although I ship them, I don't really focus on whether Levi loved Hange.  Hange is the one who stood by him until the end, she’s a great character, and she saved the humanities strongest’s life many times, so those facts just speak for itself. It's strange if he did not love her, be it romantic or platonic. (Somehow, I could never see Levi as a sexually mature romantic person throughout the series.)

Let me go deep into Levi’s feelings about Hange, though.

The first sign was at the beach, when he said, “do not touch that it may be poisonous.”

Aside from the fact that this was the very first time that Levi ever seemed to care delicately about someone, that’s very typical of tsundere( ツンデレ) character of Japanese romance story. Briefly, cold outside but warm and loving inside.

Westerners may not be familiar with the common plot of Asian romantic comedy when 2 characters seem very aromantic and even hostile but grow to love each other. 

FF to Chapter 126, up until Levi was seriously hurt, Hange probably did not know that she actually cares for him deeply. Her feeling is transferred to Levi, of course when she said “Maybe we should live here together”. What happened next is not shown from the manga, but it is certain that they had a long  conversation until the morning.

Before he was hurt, Levi did not know the whole intention of Yeager brothers. Hange should have explained everything and convinced him to serve the greater good of stopping rumbling and saving humankind. Otherwise, it is not possible that he appeared in front of Captain Magath and asked for coalition. Besides, Hange must have given him her thoughts about why it is pointless to fight against yesterday’s enemy when genocide is imminent, and Levi fully agreed with her. Although Levi said his intention is to kill Zeke, soon the intention was changed to killing Eren.

After the coalition of Marley and Eldian soldiers, a fierce fight broke out between Jean and Reiner about Marco’s death, however, Levi did not show any emotion towards Annie, who killed all of his previous squad. He had a change in his viewpoint about the world.

On the sailboat towards Odiha, Hange probably visited Levi regularly to check his health and fill him in with the situation. That’s why he knew that Yelena is awake from her fever, and tried to join the interogation. They were in constant touch with each other.

Hange is a natural pan and a free spirit and although she loved Levi deeply, she could also love someone else at the same time. When she flirted with Pieck. Levi reacted, and I think the most strong signal was when he uttered “Don’t say things like that guy (Erwin).”

He was never afraid of losing someone, and this was the first time ever that he showed his vulnerability towards losing Hange. Sadly, Hange already made up her mind that she will follow her fate and sacrifice herself. Probably she knew that all this fight is in vain, still she did her utmost to abide by her integrity.

I respect other Levi shipper’s opinion if it’s not about disparaging a character without reason. It is only the question of taste. Just see Levi’s face when faced with 2 other important persons’ death in the ship world. Erwin and Levi have a very special relationship, however I see more of a traditional Japanese Shogun-Samurai relationship in them. Petra is a typical character that serves love interest (of both other characters or fans) and again it’s me personally that it’s felt clichéd. The feelings of Levi towards Hange is something profound that grew through thick and thin.

Why did IH leave Hange till the end? I think its IH himself who dearly loved this character and that’s why her death is drawn so gracefully compared to other soldiers.

Only thing our lover boy Levi could do at the end was to give his heart to this magnificent person. That is the first time ever, again, that he uttered this mantra 心臓を捧げよ. At the death of Hange, he became a whole person who understands the meaning of life, how sacred life can be despite the futility of it.

I hope the last season really serve them well, hopefully with “some additional scenes” which they duly deserve.

The recent ova makes me think of something, like, abt how their thinking/behavior at the begining is not the same as now.

I had this hc that Katsuki had a war inside himself that he didn't know whether or not to confess to Deku, bc it can either mean "defeat" or that Deku's gonna "win" by confessing first, bc he didn't totally lose his ultra competitive urge.

But Deku will straight up never actually confess bc he's dense as hell and to him loving Kacchan is as natural as breathing, so he isn't even thinking abt a confession, he just thinks that's totally normal friend behavior since he misses being around Katsuki so much, and he almost lost him forever.

They cancel each other out by doing nothing abt it at all.

All I registered from the ova is that it looks better than a good chunk of the latest seasons of the anime >:[

🔥 Eternal Stalemate 🔥 I think Izuku's biggest "issue" isn't that loving Katsuki feels natural to him or that he doesn't realise the extent of his own feelings, but that he's... resistant to/scared of actually acknowledging them (which is something that absolutely drives me crazy because 1) canon status 2) sure the Shounen Male Bond is a thing. But. The lie. The hesitance to say anything out loud. "Control your heart" always leading back to Kacchaaaan. 😵‍💫). So basically I think he would never even allow himself to entertain the thought of saying or doing anything. I do agree with you on Katsuki, although I think his newfound I'm cringe, but I'm free-ness may actually help move things along in this sense 🤔 local tsundere escapes death, finally embraces his inner authentic self and allows himself to express loving emotions in a straightforward way, thousands shocked (he absolutely would consider it a win to confess first in this case. "Oh, you were scared? You were being a baby about it? HAH!". No room to worry about losing the love competition when you've almost died twice, both times with the same guy in mind and to directly save him in one of them xD)

have you ever considered that sometimes in your analyses on jshk and stuff you point out very true and correct things but neither aida nor iro might have ever thought of those parallels. like you know how sometimes as a creator you choose to make those connections and metaphors but other times it just happens subsconsiously? man.

I DO wonder, I doubt it's all so intentional or that these characters are necessarily shots at the same themes ............ it feels so pathological. it feels like the philosophical BONES are just naturally the same. More or less a set of internal 'rules'. maybe... which results in similar stories, even unintentionally!

There are so many writers or directors, I'm a fan of their work over many years, but typically I'll see their work sorta clumsily struggle to find its thematic footing...... Iro's heart is like... "I know what I want" somehow..... I have no idea how much it even must be thought about.... does it just happen?? can only write so many types of guys...... !

a lot of shounen you can feel the sense of simply 'filling in slots' in the cast with archetypes, wildly variable, little in common, aesthetics in all directions.... in shounen ensembles of villains and heroes you won't find a lot of through lines or anything.... I'm so used to looking & looking & turning up empty.

Aida & Iro are at least self-aware of things like .... always writing stories containing at least 1 shota, liking yandere, liking tsundere, and joke around about this back on their old blog... very "yep, I'm doing this again"....... I'm sure Iro walks into every other story cracking knuckles like, "and how will I convey this one's yandere?"...... Iro's self-aware of only being able to write misery too, and has a sort of... guidelines about what 'makes' a yandere..........

ところでヤンデレキャラって、強いか頭良くないと成り立たない気がするのですが、その両方に当てはまらないレントはヤンデレが出来ないって事になりますね。 押し倒そうにも力が無い。陥れようにも頭脳が無い。 ああ……。ヤンデレたら頭脳指数も上がるんでしょうか。語彙が増えそう、とは良く言われます。

From an entry here. I believe the image was Rudolph taking off Lent's goggles, wondering if there's a change in personality.... also, Iro is using this nasty word.... get a load of those connotations in action.

'By the way, I think a yandere has to be both strong and smart enough to accomplish anything, and Lent can't meet these requirements. He can't be a yandere. If he wants to push her down, he doesn't have the strength to. Not smart enough to make her to fall either [i.e. by trickery].

aah….. I wonder if I'd be smarter if I were to ascend to yandere. I'm sure my vocabulary skill would increase.'

.....I think having Aida there probably helps Iro be more self-aware or thoughtful 'cuz she has commentary to add? All their little conversations about "what if this, what if that, would this character do this?" feel like honing/sharpening Iro's definitions, or challenging them..... for all the rambles, it's all so consistent with the modern-day.... it's scary....

Really, they feel so self-aware so early on.

Chapter 8: Tsundere Fox

As I went out I could see all of them through my link. They were traveling, Shukaku was playing in the sand. He looked like had a fight recently which I guess was him being beaten by Kurama. 

Which was confirmed when he cursed him out loud " damn that fox, don't let me see you again, you cheated like a bitch you are. next time I will have my revenge."

' Yeah I definitely don't want any part in this so I'll  just ignore it '

Changing the link to someone else I continued to look at their surroundings.

Looks like Matatabi is enjoying herself with Kokuo on her side. " How are you girls?"

[ Matatabi's POV ]

I had fun with some human children, they were quite amusing and annoying. I did not like them tugging at my tail, thankfully they could not even touch it or I would have to kill them.

Kokuo was by my side but didn't do anything as the kids didn't go near her. Maybe they were scared of her.

After all that, we were sitting and enjoying the wind as I heard the voice of my big brother which always makes me happy. He was asking if we had fun or not. "I am very tired brother, I did many things, Kokuo also played with me..  Wait, did you already finish your training, big brother?"

I don't know why but i always crave big brother's company and voice. I think Kokuo is the same. She just doesn't show it on her face.

"Nope, I was just taking a break and missed you guys. So I decided to look at what everyone was doing. So when are you coming back?"

To his question I just thought and said " Kokuo wanted to go to sea. So at least a year after that, I'll be back. I miss my big brother too." brother always took care of us even when we acted like brats. 

When I understood he hated it when we act like that but still put up with our selfish behavior. The warmth he showed us was more than anything we received.

We all know that at some point as we grow, humans will come to hate us as big brother told us about his time with them. I just want to enjoy the time we have left.

" Come back soon I will be waiting." I could see Kokuo, who always has a strict expression, was smiling right now. So, big brother also talked to her. I feel him cut off the line.

" Let's go to the ocean," I said. She replied by standing up and we started our journey once again.

[ Tsukimi's P.O.V. ]

As we said our goodbyes. I turned to look for Isobu. He was under a lake, with eyes closed. I didn't want to disturb him, so I looked for Son Goku.

Well he, being himself, went into the forest where animals live, not just any ferocious animals, he went for the one who uses natural energy.

" Goku, what do you think you are doing. " In the middle of a fight, which was pretty much one-sided , he shuddered hearing my cold yet calm voice.

Seeing an opportunity the animal suffering under his hands escaped.

"Brother, what happened, you came out of training so soon. Hehe, I was just playing with them."

" Beating them like that was playing huh, once you come back we will play to your heart's content." Ignoring  his attempt to divert the topic I continued " once you are done with your adventure come back home , you have more 10 years at max after that I will come to pick you up myself and our playtime also increases."

He was nodding his head rapidly and said " I will be back on time and we don't  need to play. I am already satisfied."

Ignoring him I cut off the connection and looked for Saiken.

Meanwhile Son Goku was panicking. " Big brother is mad. I will suffer again and this time more than that racoon. I will beg for forgiveness. He will let me go, won't he. I really don't want to suffer the big brother's illusion that Gorillas were not hot, they were not even female. "

Looking at Saiken who was well spreading slimy liquid in the forest, having fun with animals of the wild running with them.

" Saiken, you seem to be enjoying yourself. So when do you plan to come back." He was surprised for a second then replied in a boastful and high pitched voice.

"Big brother you are back early. I made friends with many beasts. I will be playing more for now, then roam the world. So I will be back just before the time limit."

To that I said " sure be safe and bring Son Goku with you if you see him trying to hide away." I said the last part with a chilling voice.

You could see his smile falter as he knew the result of angering and pity could be seen in his eyes. " I will definitely be on the lookout, you can count on me."

" Ok see you later, Saiken"  I cut off the connection and continued looking around.

I could see Chomei sitting on a huge tree. Eyes closed and sleeping too from what I can tell.

So I looked for Gyuki who was in the sea  eating fishes. Even though we don't  need to eat, we can still eat to enjoy ourselves.

" Gyuki, what happened? You seem somewhat down." To my sudden voice he sighed and said " I was thinking of Kurama, he always tends to fight with all of us over a number of tails. Saying, that more tails equals more strength. He just bullies others."

" You know why I can defeat all of you is despite being 10 tails I lost them all and had to start anew to gain power.

I still defeated Kurama and others due to power being more despite not even having a tail. So when you come back, train as I tell you. 

Beat him and he will shut up. Remember even though he says mean things but he is just too shy to admit he cares for all of you. 

He is a bona fide tsundere, boy do I hate those troublesome kinds."

Gyuki just smiled and said " I know that's  why I don't  fight him too much. I will do the training once I come back after around 5 years."

" Good see you soon." With that I looked toward Kurama who was all alone in the middle of nowhere just sleeping.

" What a tsundere fox you are" I said to which he roared furiously and on instinct " I am not" realizing it was me he calmed down a little.

" Why can't you be honest with yourself for once, not everyone will tolerate such behavior. They do it because it's you, but that won't last if you keep on doing this." he just ignored me and turned to look at  the setting sun.

I just teleported to his side and he just froze seeing me for a second. " I am not asking you to start acting all friendly with them. Even though I know you care for them as a sibling."

He just winced at that but didn't  speak knowing full well it's true. " Don't  just antagonize them, they are tolerating you for now but it won't be forever. 

Family needs effort from both sides, they are giving it and you keep on destroying their efforts. Everyone gets hurt, you know. If you can't respond to their efforts positively just don't speak. 

It's better than insulting them." I smacked one of my tails on the back of his head.

He groaned as it dawned on him. I have 3 tails on my back.

" And what is it that I hear about tails? Huh I think you forgot someone can crush you without even a single tail. " I spoke a little coldly as he looked away from my eyes instinctively while flinching.

" spend the time you guys have peacefully, once bad days come only family will be by your side. Not your pride or ego will help you in that time."

Without  looking back I went back, leaving the fox in thinking. He may not understand my words now, but soon he will.

I won't  let him sacrifice his life for others.
