#yusuke / starters.

[m0ggers]

Yusuke pushed off from the wall where he'd been waiting as Megumi came into view. Kid might not be under his roof anymore but he still wanted to check in with him weekly. Usually just some food and a chat. Now that he was a grown ass man he could see how fucking insane the shit he was asked to do as at Megumi's age was, so he worried. Just a bit. He had a scrap of a heart, okay? Sue him. He threw an arm over the teen's shoulder, even though he knew that kinda thing annoyed him. The annoyance made it fun.

"Hey Megumi, think you can extort some cash from your sugar daddy? Your old man’s got some shit that needs replacing and insurance companies haven’t started adding ‘acts of demon’ as a viable claim yet.”

Hitting up his foster kid or ward or whatever the fuck for cash was kind of a low move but Yusuke had not grown a goody two shoes streak when he stopped being a delinquent. And being a food stall owner and extremely niche detective did not pay for the kind of dough you needed to repair the property damage that said niche detective work sometimes resulted in. He was never doing a yokai cheating case again, all he did was take do the job and take the pictures and it's his place that gets trashed. Unbelievable.

Yusuke open starter: Offering a soda

Yusuke heard about the new transfer student, how they were attending Kosei High School under a scholarship. It wasn’t rare for the school to hand out scholarships but it must be a lot of pressure for them. So far, he rarely caught a glimpse of them - no surprise there; it doesn’t take long for word of his reputation to reach any new school attendees.

Lunch time rolled around. Walking to his usual spot, he noticed someone he didn’t recognize; probably the new transfer student.

Using some of his spare change he retrieved two soda bottles from a nearby vending machine. Yusuke walked up to them, holding out one of the sodas. “... Here,” he mumbled, not making eye contact.

⚽️Blue Lock belongs to Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura⚽️

"Hmmm?" Sendou squinted his eyes as he observed the Blue Lock team.... well, the starters more than anybody else. They were all somewhat interesting, but also boring to some regards, yet he couldn't stop looking at them. Or, better yet, a certain person in the team. The (h/c) haired striker of the team certainly stood out, as he looked way more... softer(?) than the rest of his team. Even his movements weren't like those from the other guys.

"Hey, Sendou. Stop staring into space and listen to what Aiku is saying." Hayate said lazily as Teru and Teppei nodded their heads.

"Yeah, we need to win this game."

"Sae is already being annoying with how 'lukewarm' we are." Cho rolled his eyes as Niou sent the older Itoshi and Shidou death glares.

"Sorry... it's just... that Blue Lock striker over there is very odd." Sendou said as he discreetly pointed at (Y/n), who was busy talking with Hiori and Kurona about something.

"Odd? He is just standing." Niou pointed out.

"Also, you being distracted resulted in him scoring the 2nd goal." Itsuki added in.

Sendou blushed in embarrassment and glared at his teammates.

"Shut it! And he is odd. Even the way he is standing is odd. It's as if I am seeing one of those idol girls."

"You have completely lost it." Teppei said calmly.

"Maybe we should limit your TV and internet access." Teru suggested.

"What are you all talking about now?" Oliver raised an eyebrow as he and Miroku approached them.

"Sendou think that (L/n) guy is a girl." Hayate simply stated.

"I never said he was a girl! I just said he reminds me of those idol girls!" The boy flushed a bright red.

"Oookkay..." Oliver said as he looked over at the said player.

"Regardless, let's just play now. Sae is already being an ass to me."

"Deserved." Miroku and Niou added in.

"Hey!"

As the 3 bickered, Sendou turned to look at the striker again. Sadly, this time, he wasn't as secretive, and Hiori noticed his staring, drawing (Y/n)'s attention to it. The two made brief eye contact, and Sendou swore he could feel his heart doing a flip or two as he stared into the player's eyes.

'Just what is it about you?'

Sendou thought that his encounter with the striker would end when the match ended, but no! They actually met up again at that karaoke bar, and again, Sendou had this weird feeling about the striker.

'He is just too perfect with girls... as if he knows first hand what they want to hear.' Sendou thought as he watched the boy's interaction with the two older girls. Meanwhile, Hayate, Teru, and Miroku were making fun of a pouting Oliver. Sendou watched as the striker's friends pulled him away from the girls.

"Stop being weird, Sendou." Cho warned the redhead.

"What?"

"You are staring at the dude like he killed someone." Teppei noted.

"Please, whatever sort of weird feelings you have for him, sort it out. It's getting stressful to watch." Niou added in as Sendou flushed a deep red as he tried to deny that statement. Itsuki snickered a little.

"You do have a weird fixation." Miroku said, walking over to the group.

"Bachira, please don't make a scene!" (Y/n) yelled as he pulled him away from an argument with Oliver.

"He does remind me of a idol tho... I have to give it to Sendou for noticing it first." Hayate added in.

"Please don't tell me you have been staring too." Niou groaned.

"In my defense, he is cute." Sendou grumbled at the statement Hayate made, and got even more agitated as Miroku and Teru agreed.

"So, a bowling match it is!" Oliver exclaimed, getting the attention of the rest of the team.

"What?" Niou wondered.

"We agreed to a bowling match with you guys." (Y/n) spoke up as she tried to get Bachira off of her arm.

"Losers buy the winners food." The (h/c) haired striker finished.

"Well, in our case Reo is buying the food." Chigiri and Isagi snickered.

"Aiyah... I guess. Bachira, can you let go of my arm now?"

"No." The bicolored boy said, which caused Chigiri and Isagi to grab onto Bachira to pull him off of (Y/n).

"There goes my hoodie." She sighed as the U-20 team watched in amusement... well, except for Oliver.

"And you! Blue Lock's number 12!"

"Ha?" The four looked at him in confusion, as the U-20 team sighed in defeat.

"Here we go." Cho and Teru said quietly.

"When the bowling game ends... how about you be a good brother to me and tell me your tricks on how you swooned those two girls soe easily." Oliver grinned, putting a  arm around (Y/n)'s shoulder.

"What?" The girl asked, dumbfounded by the statement.

"Why is he touching (Y/n)?"

"I don't know... doesn't he have a disease or something?"

"His breath probably smells, too." Isagi, Chigiri, and Bachira commented among themselves, trying to hold themselves back from ripping Oliver away from their striker.

"Eh... I don't know." (Y/n) raised an eyebrow as Oliver pulled her out of the room.

"Hey!" The three Blue Lock players protested.

"Hold it right there! Where are you going with (Y/n)?!" Otoya's voice was heard from down the hallway.

"That's not how you hold a bowling ball, Hayate-san." (Y/n) noted as she watched the white-haired boy struggle holding the ball.

"What?" The taller raised an eyebrow.

"You need to grab tightly onto it with all 3 fingers... that's way too loose." (Y/n) showed the shaky hand that was holding the ball. Although she didn't play or like this sport much, she knew some rules.

"You might injure your hand like that." She said simply finished as Hayate observed her hand for a moment and then repeated the same hold.

"Thanks."

"Welcome, let's have a fair game then." (Y/n) said as Hayate was about to say something, but the girl got pulled away by Nagi. The U-20 player watched with some new found interest the striker.

'Odd... but Sendou was right... there is something about the number 12 that isn't like the rest...' The white haired boy thought.

"You think that something is weird about him too, don't you?" Sendou suddenly spoke up from behind Hayate, who slowly nodded his head.

"There really is."

"Hey, you two! Focus! I need those tips from (Y/n)." Oliver warned the duo, who looked at him in confusion.

"What?"

"I made (Y/n) promise to give me tips about girls, if we win." Oliver simply stated.

"You... are getting dating tips from your junior?" Cho asked in disbelief.

"This is gold. I wish I had my camera with me." Miroku chuckled as Niou held in a laughter. Teppei tried to calm everyone down, but he did find this whole ordeal funny.

"Shut it!" Oliver yelled with an embarrassed blush as Teru and Itsuki patted their captain's back, silently laughing as well.

Boring request but.. 🤭 hiei general relationship headcanons? ♡ thank u

sorry it's kind of short but i've been waiting for a hiei request, lets gooo!!

tw: mentions of reader death

for starters, you might not like him at first, and vice versa, he's not exactly the most pleasant person, especially if you're human.

but lets say you managed to actually snag this guy somehow.

he's not exactly the most romantic partner and doesn't really like going to fancy restaurants or whatever, he does try to ask kurama about what humans like.

for a good portion of the relationship kurama would be used as his human translator since he doesn't bring up the courage to ask yusuke or kuwabara (something tells him they don't know a clue, either especially when it comes to women.)

he does steal get you things you or even might like, if you take him to the mall and you can't afford something, it'll be on your dresser either the next day or some hours later.

he watches you when you sleep, it's weird, but i feel like he would so something like that, he finds it oddly adorable.

he likes watching movies with you, especially scary ones, he thinks it's cute the way you scream at jumpscares, holding onto his arm tightly and burying your face into his chest.

he's surprisingly playful, he likes to tease you by playing with your hair or play fighting with you (he has to get really comfortable with you for this)

he's possessive as hell! not in an insecure jealous way, but in a "humans are fragile creatures" way.

he is SO afraid of losing you because he removed brick by brick in order to be comfortable with you and if you either died or left him for someone else that would crush him.

The 8th anniversary artwork by Yusuke Kozaki for Pokémon GO is here! Dynamax is coming! Also, seeing the Gen8 starters like, "When???" we already had the Gen9 starters for almost a year here.

[thuganomxcs]

He knew adult women would have far larger and rounder breasts than that of the average college girl...but these were just..ridiculous. How the hell is she still even standing? His mind wandered around so many different questions until he had finally heard her voice. The vendor rubs the inside of his ear once with a single finger before his eyes were raised to look into her own.

Yusuke might as well keep eye contact with this woman our he would end up lost in a world without any means of returning. "Sorry bout that, care t' repeat it? You said you had a problem? Things goin' bump in the night..stuff like that?"

@thuganomxcs

"My eyes are up here." Tsunade said watching this young man as she spoke prior.

"Please at least tell me you were trying to pay attention to what I was saying. Or do I need to repeat myself..."

[thuganomxcs]

The stoic expression on his face might fool most, however perhaps those that KNEW him better would see through the facade as Yusuke faces difficult feelings. Discovering his demonic ancestry undergone a startling possession left him fearing for those he cared about..on top of that it seems Reikai is preparing to enforce a law that sentences Yusuke as a threat all worlds: A MONSTER. Because of this, there were days where he just decided he wouldn’t even attempt to go to school..going as far as venturing through other routes in order to avoid Ami altogether as he remained in his room at home, luckily his mother had left early that day…and today he’s planning to do what he’s been doing for the past five days…laying down…preparing to make a move he knows he’s going to regret.

IF YOU REGRET / RESET THE GAME

art by Lyn @jazlyn_jin!

hi! want to experience all the highs and lows of IYR/RTG (IF YOU REGRET / RESET THE GAME) but have no idea where to start or what Lyn and I are even going on about? no problem! here's a starter pack/summary post that'll get you up to speed in no time 💫

the tldr is that it's a roleswap AU where Haru is the protag and Ann is the traitor. the "not long enough; need more context" (doesn't roll off the tongue quite like tldr though) is below the read more!!

NOTE: this AU contains spoilers for both vanilla Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal. you've been warned!

most of the information for the AU is very neatly summed up (and comes with extremely good art by Lyn) in this thread on Lyn's twitter. below is more of a neat recap containing some plot points and stuff that you can use for reference or whatever.

what does IYR/RTG mean?

it means "if you regret, reset the game" and is a lyric from the song Axe to Grind from Persona 5 Strikers! it's a reference to how the roleswap is essentially a 'reset' of the canon game.

how did the AU come about?

two years ago I (Ash) posted a silly tweet about a roleswap AU "but it's just the Thieves put in a randomiser" and Lyn saw traitor!Ann and went wild. anyway two years passed and we're now back working together to make the AU a reality! sort of! we're not Maruki! maybe!

new plot changes!

Kawakami now works at Crossroads part-time rather than the maid service. there is no maid service in IYR/RTG.

Crossroads is also the place where Haru winds up spending most of her time due to the high number of confidants there and their lax rules about having birds in the bar

there's also a new waitress at Crossroads called Ren!

Shido is a complete nobody in the AU and is not relevant to the plot at all

the confidants that have been swapped out are either dead (sorry Sae) or they no longer need their confidant chain doing due to the lack of Shido in the AU

Ohya is now having a great time with her reporting partner and probably drinks a somewhat reasonable amount now maybe

Haru's dad is alive and well and still a complete asshole

Ryuji is fine :) stop asking questions about him :)

[grctia]

@thuganomxcs liked this for a starter!

Yusuke was certainly not normal by any means. Oh no. Mai had already figured it out, but she never outright said anything on the matter. Things hadn't been the same since their initial meeting, no surprise there. Everyone she's met has always had some sort of change to her life, which she never complained about. The blonde had scanned the area in silence, wondering where the other had taken off to as she kept walking. This was also of the norm for the harpy duelist; having to seek out her companion.

Once her gaze caught sight of a familiar figure the woman makes her way towards him, "Yusuke!" She called out, her features shifting from concentration to something a bit more lighter.

[m0ggers]

@gloryseized liked for a starter from Yusuke!

"Akira, I must ask something of you. It is imperative to my art making process." There's a pause as Yusuke looks to his empty wallet, and then to object of his desire, "...Could I perhaps have some money to purchase this crab?"

[goldenthreadstories]

{ Offically gonna add yusuke to the muse list! }

[honoviadakai]

Team Urameshi as parents/babysitters

Yusuke:

Parent:

So for starters, I feel like this guy would like a few little rugrats running around once he’s married

3 tops

He grew up an only child and he remembers what it’s like to be lonely when his mom wasn’t home and Keiko was to busy/not around to play with him

Having more than one makes it more difficult for them to feel lonely

But multiple kids, that have Yusuke’s genetics, means a rowdy household

RIP his poor wife OTL

Yusuke is not big on rules or authority

What makes you think he’s gonna enforce a lot of rules on his kids???

The only “rules” he has is the following:

Always listen to mom and respect her

Never start a fight, you can absolutely finish them though

Don’t waste food

…

Yeeeeeah….not very many rules…

FEAR NOT! They can be expanded upon! ÒvÓ~✨

The first rule is something he made on purpose because he knew he wasn’t gonna enforce more than 3 rules tops

This rule guarantees that his kids not only listen to his rules, but his partner’s rules as well

And he takes it seriously

If his partner told the kiddos no cake before dinner, though tiddy, no cake till after dinner

He personally doesn’t care if people eat cake before or after dinner, but wifey said no and no means no guys 😤

Again, these are Yusuke’s kids…at least one of them is gonna inherit his attitude AND is natural fighting skills

Hence the second rule

He doesn’t want them living his life where everyone was too afraid to even give him a chance

He wants his kids to have as many close friends as possible

So he absolutely doesn’t want them to lean way too hard into the delinquent persona like he did in his youth

That being said

He’s showing them how to fight early in life

Ain’t no one gonna mess with his kids! (ง •̀_•́ )ง

But he also teaches them to pick their battles smarter than he does

And if they do get into a fight, as long as they didn’t start the fight, he will not punish them because it was not their fault, they were defending themselves

The ONLY exception he has for the “don’t start a fight” rule is if they were helping someone out

Like let’s say one of his kids sees one of their friends getting beat on and they step in to defend them

They technically threw the first fight but they also technically didn’t and it was for a good reason

Now onto the last rule

It’s a no-brainer

Don’t waste the damn food

If you’re at a guest’s house and you don’t like the food, choke it down fast, someone went out their way to feed you damn it

If you eat out and there’s half or more of it left, leftovers, don’t throw it out

Part of this comes from the fact that when Yusuke was a kid, food wasn’t always available or even of good quality

So whenever he did have it, he’d eat every bite even if he didn’t like it because he didn’t know when his next full meal was coming

The other part is him now owning his own Ramen stand

Food waste in restaurants is atrocious

Yusuke tries his best not to waste food at the stand and even chews customers out if they do

It’s actually pretty common that he’ll bring food from work home or feed, feed stray animals the food that’s safe for them, bring his friends leftovers or he’ll even feed some homeless people or ppl who just didn’t have money on them but were really hungry

From that last point, it’s obvious that Yusuke, while laid back in parenting style, is a very kind parent to his kids

He will not let them go hungry

He will not let them go without basic necessities like clothes

He will not parent them with fear or anger

He will not neglect them

And above all else

He will not let them ever believe he does not love and cherish them

Honestly he has more rules for himself if you think about it

He grew up on the opposite end of the spectrum of parental care so he has an idea of what bad parenting looks like

So he’s gonna do everything in his power to not be like his mom pre him getting hit by a car

Babysitter:

Wait, did you think he’d have a different in care because it’s someone else’s kid???

Well you’re wrong!

Sorta (￣ω￣)

Lemme explain

He still follows the same philosophy of “no kid will feel unloved/neglected in my care”

That is always a constant for him because he’s rather let Genkai sucker punch his ribs 47 times in a row than let a kid starve when he knows damn well he can feed them

The difference is he drops rule one ☝️

The Kiddo’s parents left him in charge soooo…fuck the rules!

Kid wants cake for breakfast? What flavor? He’s buying

Kid wants to play video games instead of do homework? He calls second controller

Kid wants to watch a really scary R rated movie? Cool 👍 He’s gonna make popcorn

That being said, he’s much more mature but the time his first kid comes into his life

So while he absolutely would let the kids he’s babysitting do what they want, he’s still make sure they get their shit done

It helps that he’s basically a big kid at heart so he can easily level with them

For example ☝️

“Ok kid, we played 15 rounds of Super Smash Bros. Time to do that algebra homework”

“What?! But that’s boring! 😫”

“Yeah but it’s either do the homework or face your parents’ wrath. Which do you wanna deal with?”

“…you right, imma grab my books”

“I’ll get the calculator”

He knows they don’t wanna do chores or homework but he also knows being lectured is more of a pain in the ass than actually doing the task you don’t wanna do

And tbh, he’ll help them out so they don’t gotta do it alone

He’s not the ideal candidate for someone you’d trust as a babysitter

But your kids will be well taken care of!

Yusuke’s just gonna let them eat junk food all day 😅

Kuwabara:

Parent:

Oh my god

This man

This man right here

He’d be such a phenomenal dad

He’d like a big family

4 tops but he won’t complain if more enter his life

He’s a gentle giant who’s a bit loud and kids seem to love that

It’s pretty common to see him being climbed on by his young children like he’s their personal jungle gym

Any games they wanna play, he’ll take part in if he can(he’s too big for the swing set he’s built them so the most he can do is push them)

He’s also very patient with them

If they’re struggling with homework, he’ll help them and let them know it’s ok if they don’t fully understand the subject they’re studying

He is a bit strict with his kids grades btw, but like nothing crazy

Like if his kid were to get a C+ on an exam and he knows that they studied their ass off, he’s not gonna reprimand them, he’s gonna celebrate their success

He does push them to do better, but he does it in a way that lets them know he believes in their potential and that they haven’t fully realized it yet but he 1000% sees it

Like he’s really good at motivating his kids!

He’s their biggest cheerleader and he does everything he can to support his kids in their own endeavors

It could be something as small as making them their favorite snacks or something as big as buying the expensive tools and materials needed to work for their dream

He does have a few rules for the household but they’re all very standard and never feel like he’s demanding a lot from his kids

He does divide some of the rules in terms of “these rules apply the the older kids and these apply to the younger ones”

He understands that teenagers need different rules from the younger ones because developmentally, they’re dealing with different things and have different mindsets

But again it’s always fair like “no smoking till you’re 18” or “if we let you go to a party, please text us every now and then so we know your ok 👌 “

He also divides chores fairly amongst his family

Him and his partner will do the bigger more complicated stuff, the older kids do their own laundry, dishes and keep their individual living spaces clean and the younger kids help by picking up and putting away things like toys and books and they learn from a young age to separate the laundry so it’s just easier and quicker to do

He’ll teach all his kids how to fight early in life but he absolutely does not expect them to be combative people

He remembers fighting alongside his demon friends and while he absolutely could hold his own, he remembers the pain of being fought with killing intent

He’d rather not have his kids deal with ever feeling like they have to fight someone like Toguro or Sensui

But he also understands that if one of his kids wants to be a fighter, he’s not gonna be able to sway them

They’re his kid after all

Babysitter:

One of the best babysitters you will ever hire

Worth every penny!

Your kids have a 9pm curfew? They’re in bed by 8:50pm

You made them brussle sprouts as part of their dinner and the kiddo doesn’t wanna eat it? Sorry bud, uncle Kuwabara ain’t gonna let you leave the table till you’ve eaten at least half your greens

He also believes in positive reinforcement so something he does with all kids is once they do their chores, homework or eat their veggies, he’ll give them a treat

It’s not always a literal treat. Sometimes it’s him allowing them to play video games with them till they’re sleepy

Sometimes they fall asleep a tad past their bedtime…but what their parents know won’t kill them, or him

Kurama:

Parent:

He’s a very interesting father to have

Like not necessarily in a bad way

It’s just…interesting…

Let’s back up and establish he’d like 2 kids maximum

He kinda likes having a step brother so he’d want his kids to have a sibling they can bond with

Remember, he grew up an only child so he was probably a bit lonely

Well he was probably lonely for other reasons…

Well get to that

Now for standard parenting stuff

He’s strict about school but he’s also fair

If his kid’s best on an economics exam was a C- and he sees they really REALLY tried as hard as they could, he’s gonna be understanding and let it slide

HOWEVER ☝️

He expects some progress from his kids

Like he’s not expecting them to go from getting a C- to and A+

But like they should at least get a C+ next time

He’s not unreasonable, he knows some things don’t come naturally to some people, but he does believe in steady growth

No literally

Kids are like plants to him

You could give 2 plants the same amount of water, sunlight and care and one might still grow faster than the other despite being grown at the same time

The slower growing one just needs extra help to grow and ya just gotta be patient

Same with kids

Weirdly though…he does have a strange line when it comes to plants and kids he doesn’t cross often…

He just…doesn’t baby talk his kids when they’re little…but he will with his plants…

It’s not that he hates his kids, he loves them just as much as he loves his plants

But in his mind, his children are learning language, not his plants

He can speak gibberish to his plants and not worry about they’re lexicon because even the plants that do have mouths usually don’t speaks they just nom

His kids though? They’re gonna learn how to speak and he’d prefer they learn to speak properly

A weird dichotomy but ok

He’ll also teach them how to be responsible for themselves from an early age

Like they learn quickly that they need to keep their living space clean because mom and dad won’t always be around to do it for them

He also teaches him to cook at a young age

Not because he wants them to be hyper independent, far from it

He just has a lot of good memories with his mother where she taught him new recipes as he grew older

He wants to bond with his kids and have similar experiences with them and he cherishes all those moments with his entire being

Now let’s address the elephant in the room…

Kurama is living in the human world and probably even married a human

But he’s still a demon…

So his kids are at the very least, half demon

This is where things might get difficult for him

If he didn’t tell his partner about his background, this might cause issues in his marriage tbh…

He might end up being a single father if it’s that big of an issue for his partner

On the flip side

If he decides to be upfront with his partner, knowing he wanted to marry and have kids with them, it’s still gonna be difficult but at least they’re both prepared

I’d like to think he’s so the latter but I think it really depends on how he’s doing mentally around the time he starts dating his partner

For the sake of this argument, it’s the latter

He’s still gonna have the issue of having fox demon children that can control plants though

He’s gonna teach them how to control their powers as early as he can

He’s smart so he prepared to get a remote job so it’s easier to keep an eye on his children during their infancy

Can’t exactly hire a random human babysitter and just drop a “btw, my kids might accidentally make the fern in the living room grow crazy fast, don’t worry about it, that’s normal at their age.”

Once they’re older, they will have much better control over their abilities so he’s not too worried about them

But where he does start to worry is when they start attending school…

He trusts his kids but he doesn’t trust other people’s kids not to push his kids buttons

Or at least try to…

Yeah, he’s gonna teach them how to mess with people’s heads…

He doesn’t want to…but he wants them to be able to get out of conflict without having to resort to violence first

Especially because losing control of their emotions might blow their cover

That being said, he will teach the to fight

He’d prefer if it was used only for self defense…but he knows his kids are their own person and while he doesn’t want them to get hurt, he knows he can’t force them to not fight if that’s what they really wanna do

I can see them learning about Yoko Kurama from other demons they come across and that’s gonna lead to some questions

As much as he’d like to not discuss it, he knows he has to

He’s gonna be honest about what he was like back in the day, but he’s also gonna let them know that he’s not going back to that life

He loves his family and they’re worth more to him than any treasure he’s ever come across

Tbh it might make his kids respect him a lot when he says that

They do think is legend is badass but to hear he’s given it up to be their dad???

Wow…he really does, undoubtedly, love his family

He really does love his family and he’s gonna do his best to keep them safe from a world that hasn’t fully accepted demons yet

Babysitter:

He’s like Kuwabara when it comes to babysitting

If the parents who left him in charge have some rules, then the rules will be followed

Where they differ is that he’s not gonna reward them that much for following the rules beyond a head pat and a “Good job!”

He might let them have a sweet treat if he knows it was a big deal to them, but over all of the kid grew up with those rules, he expects them to know the rules well enough not to purposely try to break them just cuz he’s not their parent

He’s also the one you wanna piss off the least….

If the kid is being bratty…first warning is a terrifying glare…

No one ever tries their luck after the glare…

They all subconsciously know that pushing him beyond that will not end well…

His kids learned early in life not to fuck with Kurama…and so will other people’s children…

But as. Long as they don’t puss him off, he’s a very nice babysitter

He even reads bedtime stories if the kid asks nicely!

Honestly a model babysitter 😌

Hiei:

Parent:

….

Buckle up for this one…

It might get a little sad

Honestly…I don’t think he’d want kids

He doesn’t believe he’s a good brother, what makes you think he believes he’d be a good father?

And to be fair

His own father wasn’t in his life and the “father” he did have was a bandit that tried to steal from him when he was fished out of a river, taught him violence and power was everything and abandoned him without hesitation

….

He doesn’t exactly know what a “good father” looks like…she he doesn’t think he could ever be a good father

IF he were to have children, it would have to be well after he’s been in an established relationship

He’d have to be in a good place mentally, emotionally and personally to even consider bringing life, life he didn’t think he was capable of creating, into the world

He’s also probably only want one

He might have more later, but in the beginning he’s got a very strict “one and done” mentality

Also I feel like he would take a human as mate

I don’t think he’s against taking a demon as a mate by any means, humans are just…warmer, in his eyes.

He wants someone with a warm, compassionate heart and humans tend to have that in spades more than demons do

He’s honestly not a terrible father to his child…he’s just…

Inexperienced…

He’s never taken care of children before

The closest one he’s had to raise in the past is himself and honestly…it’s debatable even to him how well he did on that front

He’s very scared to hold his kid because they’re so…little…

The last thing he wants to do is cause them any sort of harm so in his mind, if he doesn’t hold his kid, he can’t accidentally drop them

He will get over that hurdle eventually, he just needs to get comfortable with holding his kid so be patient

Once he’s comfortable around his kid, he’s actually a pretty good dad!

…by demon standards

By human standards…he needs work…

For example, he’ll think it’s completely acceptable to gift a toddler a sword for their birthday

He learned how to use a sword by the time he was 3 so surely it’s not a problem to teach his child how to wield a sword too

…in his defense…his kid also has demon blood so his logic isn’t wrong but…he needs to be stopped

This is also gonna be a repeating trend btw

Like his friends, he’s gonna teach his child how to fight

The difference is that to him, fighting is the same as walking

His kid NEEDS to learn because fighting is as normal as walking and talking to him so it should be more or less the same for his kid right?

It’s such a norm for him that when his kid gets older, he’s not gonna punish them for getting into fights with other kids at school

He’d encourage it!

Here’s an example of how an interaction between him and his kid would go down

“Why are you coverd in bruises?”

“This kid in my class was talking mad shit so me and my friend fought him and his friends after school =3=”

“….did you win????”

“Obviously 😤”

“Very good, that should teach that fool a lesson… Now clean up before your mother sees you and has a heart attack.”

“Ok dad. ^v^~”

His poor partner is gonna worry themself to death…

But they allow it because while it’s weird…it’s how he bonds with his kid

He’s actually happy during all the training sessions they have together

Cuz his kid is learning and improving and he’s just so proud of them!

Yeah his kid comes come covered in bruises and is absolutely sore af

But they’re so happy to be training with their dad!

And that just melts Hiei’s black little heart so much

It’s one of the rare times he’ll have a genuine, big smile 😊

He does still commute back and forth from the demon and human world but he makes it a point to not be gone for longer than a month and he’s always home for events like birthdays

He might also take his kid to demon world but he’s VERY protective of them during that time

Not that he’s not protective of them in the human world, he very much is

The difference is that humans don’t typically have giant claws and teeth to worry about

If anyone tries to mess with his family, at best he’ll horribly main them, at worst he’s gonna scorch them so bad that not even their ashes will remain

Once he builds up a family, he’ll lay his life in the line to keep it safe

He’s a bit of a nervous and insecure father, but once he’s found his groove, he’s a surprisingly loving father

Babysitter:

Ok you know how protective and nervous Hiei is with his family?

Yeeeeah throw that all out the window if it’s someone else’s spawn

Not his kid, not his priority

Honestly just find a different babysitter

Don’t get me wrong

If you do manage to get him to babysit, he’ll at least make sure they live

But like…hes gonna let them get hurt if he sees them doing something stupid

Like if he sees them climbing up a wardrobe, he’s not even gonna give them a warning to get down

He’s just gonna watch

If they fall at hurt themselves, he’s gonna asses the damage and then have one of 2 reaction

If it’s not that bad, he’ll just kinda roll his eyes and say something along the lines “it’s not even that bad, you’ll be fine so don’t you start crying…” and then he’ll just walk away

If the kid’s bleeding then he’ll be sure to dress their wound, lightly smack them upside the head before saying something like “that’s what happens to fools who don’t think things through.” And then he’ll walk away

He will feed them but it’s better if the parents prepare something he can just microwave and serve

Don’t let him cook…he thinks raw meat is acceptable for human children to eat…

If the kids don’t wanna eat what’s available he won’t make them eat it

He’s just gonna look at them and say “ok, I’m not making anything else so if you wanna starve, that’s your prerogative.”

He is over to younger children tbh

They’re cuter, honest and less argumentative if you blatantly tell them what you what from them and why

So if one of the toddlers he’s babysitting wants him to participate in a tea party or something, he will

Older kids and teens get on his nerves quicker

Teens especially are too moody for his liking but they also respect him more because of how blunt he is

But It’s because you f that respect that he first of all, actually punishes teens, secondly, punishes them harshly

I don’t mean he gets physical, he understands that he’s probably accidentally kill them if he threw a punch even if he’s holding back

I mean he’s gonna make them learn a lesson psychologically

For example, here’s what’ll happen if the teenager he’s babysitting is caught smoking 🚬

“Are you smoking a cigarette?”

“!?!? N-No!”

“Don’t lie to me…I can smell the tobacco…”

“…ok yeah, I’m smoking…what do you care though!? You’re not my dad!”

“I’m aware…I don’t care if you do smoke, I’m only left in charge of you for the day….”

“??? So I can smoke?”

“Yes…in fact…how many cigarettes are left…?”

“10, why???”

“You’re going to smoke them all, plus all the packs you have hidden in your room…right now…and you will not leave this spot until you’ve finished every last cigarette…”

“WHAT!?”

“You heard me…now shut up and smoke them all…if you try to run I’ll break your legs so just hurry up and do as I say…”

The kid’s gonna do it and probably need a doctor but hey! They’re not gonna ever wanna smoke again!

Yeah sure, the smell of tobacco makes them gag now…but they learned their lesson! Thats good right???

….

Please for the love of all that is good and pure in this world, get a different babysitter

          the bedsheets blew with the wind as she went on her toes to pin it to the line.       ❝  he seems like the type who would win two tickets to such a place.  ❞    she continued her jest, as she took a step back after the last of the pins, before bending to gather the next sheet to hang.
