#sorrh im going to sleep now i SWEAR

[eikichi-supremacy]

follow up to that one post no one remembers or cares about except me 😎

genuinely I do understand the hc that shiori just immediately takes hiei under her wing and loves him like her own and forces motherly affection on him while kurama laughs it's adorable and I love it

I also think it'd be hilarious if she just thought he was okay and vice versa I'm sorry throw your tomatoes while they're fresh 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅

That being said a mom hiei would like to shoot the shit with? Atsuko for sure. If there's one mom bro it's her ong. we never see them interact but ik atsuko and hiei would've been on some FIEND shit okay hear me outttt she's the only mom who'd think his crimes are cool like not the killing ig but some of that other stuff was kinda fly little guy

i kid i kid but it just kills me hiei was this forbidden child this unwanted thing taboo something to be tossed over the fuckin edge of a cliff. Atsuko gets told this and just laughs and says I almost did that to yusuke once but he probably would've deserved it and hiei is sitting there like. 🗿 Maybe I deserved it too. And she laughs even harder even though he wasn't joking

I'm just a big fan of the two most problematic characters (that aren't antagonists lol) hanging out. Hiei is like. Literally a murderer and used to be on spirit world's watchlist while atsuko was a bit of a terror on the street in her heyday and honestly a shitty mom. Very equal crimes as you can see

Something something atsuko not really having the tools to be a mom and for better or worse she did it anyway and hiei just wonders for a split second. If the ice maidens had shown a bit more mercy. Been just a bit more lenient in their rules. Would he be more like the others. Like yusuke. Because sure he's rough and brash and mean and does things just for the sake and thrill of a fight but he's also got this kindness about him. A sort of softness that hiei has to assume having a parent put there, like it did with kurama albeit belatedly. Before he dismisses this entirely because the thought of being properly raised gives him hives.

Besides that any similarities between kurama and yusuke can't be from having a mom. Because atsuko is not like shiori. Honestly she's pretty much her opposite in every way. And hiei maybe has a sort of respect for that if he ever familiarizes himself with ningenkai enough to fathom what that even entails.

Anyway. Never should've been a mother vs never should've been born. Existing as they are against everyone's wishes because well. fuck them.

Hiei is the only one who can be told that upon finding out she was pregnant atsuko's approach to keeping the baby wasn't because of some automatic love or maternal instinct to protect at the time but because everyone was so sure she couldn't. and in retrospect she feels kinda bad about it but what yusuke doesn't know won't kill him. She loves him. even if that hadn't been her thought process at 14. the reason she looks after him now isn't cos the wiseass she used to share an apartment called her a tramp who wouldn't be able to keep her son alive. It's changed she changed. But still. Yusuke doesn't need to know

Similarly atsuko is the only one who actually gets told about yukina by hiei himself. And unlike literally everyone else she doesn't think he should tell her. Like sure if you ever want to I say go for it. But if not...eh who cares? I never told yusuke that the guy that meets me at his cart every now and again is his dad. Some things you just don't need to say. Most of the important shit is just known. Translation being yukina probably already knows. it's one of those things that doesn't need to be talked about because what does it really change. Hiei won't suddenly be more open to interaction and spend every waking moment with her and yusuke wont suddenly go running to that bum all teary eyed and open armed. It won't change a thing. Yukina will pretend she doesn't know that hiei is spying from a distant tree without a word and yusuke will pretend he doesn't see his nose and jawline in one of his customers that only hangs around when his mom does. Because who cares, really.

the idea of them having things they've done they're not proud of but the past doesn't haunt them. it doesn't keep them up at night in fact they sleep fine. It's just a part of them. A shitty part but hey. They never claimed to be good.

This is getting away from me to a dramatic extent jesus but I can see them having meaningful moments in dead of night that nobody really knows about so when they all meet in a group for once and mfs see hiei light atsuko's cigarette for her they're like ?????? What the fuck is up with you two. Hiei is like we're acquaintances. Atsuko scoffs because that's hilarious who says that? hiei does because he doesn't have "friends" because she's like I've never been an acquaintance in my life. he's an even more travel sized lighter that's all. and hiei doesn't know to be offended which was why atsuko said it at all because she knows he hates when everyone laughs and he doesn't know why

Idk. Hiei and Atsuko besties for ever and ever because I said so
