“A dumbass,” Sako whispered against Kaji’s reddened cheeks, “that’s what it makes you.”

Sometimes, falling in love is like a roller coaster—there are ups and downs until eventually it smooths out.

The other times—it’s like sitting inside a spaceship and launching yourself into the orbit till you crash into another planet like an asteroid and cause the extinction of a civilization.

I was hoping to see more content for featuring these two, so I had to make my own. 😂

❝ Let me take you down 'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about Strawberry fields forever Strawberry fields forever Strawberry fields forever. ❞

~ Strawberry Fields Forever | song by The Beatles.

summary: If Sakura had a chance to look at himself under a microscope he would happily give up that chance; not to mention, he would not dare to even have a sneak peek. Besides, what's there to look at? Kiryu happens to think otherwise. He is quite the opposite actually; he would give up anything just to get a glimpse of this rare Sakura-chan that he saw on that sunny day when he had to fight a bunch of guys all by himself.

Greetings, UmeTsuba nation!!! I have something for you <3 Do give it a read and lmk what you think!

———————————————————————————————————–

Summary:

There’s a story where if your love is not returned, you will start coughing up flower petals and can only be cured when the person of your affection will feel the same way.

Tsubaki thought of it as ridiculous.

Wind Breaker Week 2024| Day 4: In which Umemiya has a plan and everyone thinks it's a bad plan. (They went with it anyway.)

Title: hush hush Fandom: Wind Breaker Characters/Ships: SuoSaku, Umemiya, Nirei, Hiiragi Rating: PG Summary: In which cop!Sakura and gangster!Suo meet, fight, and fall in love (probably). A/N: Here's day four... it's taking me longer and longer between each prompt but I do have an ending planned. Sort of. :')

“Sakura, you don’t have to agree to Umemiya’s idiotic plan, you know,” Hiiragi Toma told his subordinate with his version of a worried expression. It might still look like a disgruntled frown to most, but Sakura knew the older man long enough to decipher that face as someone who thought this idea of their captain’s was a bit… unconventional, to say the least.

And due to said questionable plan, Hiiragi was understandably concerned for Sakura’s personal safety and sanity.

“I know, but it’s fine,” Sakura shrugged, although when he’d first heard about the details of the plan himself, he’d been stuttering into an uncharacteristically speechlessness, too.

Seeing as how Nirei betrayed him — he sent the blond a meaningful dark look, at which Nirei had the audacity to send him a bright smile before looking away — Sakura was called into Captain Umemiya’s office soon after, where he was cheerily told to sit down next to Hiiragi (looking extra stressed if the pinch between his brows was any indication).

He wasn’t stupid; he already saw Nirei’s guilty and apologetic expression right before he got summoned by his supervisor, so he was mentally prepared for a good scolding, possibly a harsh warning to leave Suo Hayato alone, or surrender all his intel he’d collected so far to another team in the department to follow up, as Sakura had already had his identity revealed to a possible suspect, there was absolutely no way the higher-ups were going to allow him to participate in the investigation anymore.

Except he had once again underestimated Umemiya Hajime and the strange schemes this man’s brain came up with.

“F-ffffake dating?!”

If humans were capable of spontaneous combustion, Sakura was sure he was very close to it. He could feel his cheeks burning at the d-word, even if it was play-pretend, if he were to understand the captain’s plan properly.

“Umemiya…” Hiiragi started in a warning tone, but with an easy smile, the captain of their department put up a hand, signalling Hiiragi to allow him to finish first.

“Well, Sakura, what do you say?” their captain continued as if a ridiculous plan didn’t just sprout out of his own mouth. “I would commend you and Nirei for locating Suo Hayato’s base, but it still stands that you two have disobeyed direct orders from your superior. Not only that, but from all the rumours surrounding Suo’s past history, you could have landed in life-threatening danger. I don’t know what that man is planning, but I can only assume that when he decided to let you two go unscathed, it wasn't out of the kindness of his heart.”

“I-I apologise… sir.”

Umemiya waved the awkward and half-hearted apology off.

“I could pass the case off to Mizuki’s team; they have been conducting their own investigations on the drug trafficking business of Vaisravana Unit, and I’m sure having them tail one of their top lieutenants would result in some invaluable intel.”

“He’ll be even more vigilant than before, now that he knows the cops have their eyes on him,” Sakura muttered in protest.

Umemiya’s smile brightened.

“Exactly! That’s what I thought as well! So, instead of wasting this precious lead by throwing multiple rocks against an impenetrable metal wall, I’d rather have one of our own people infiltrate even deeper through this opportune opening and gain as much intel as we can.

“However,” Umemiya’s expression sobered slightly as he continued, his gaze unwavering as their eyes met over the width of the desk, “there are risks involved with this job, as you can imagine. You’ll be by yourself with no backup when you’re around the suspect, and even if we send teams to protect you if Suo is participating in any of Vaisravana’s various criminal activities outside of our jurisdiction, your safety is not guaranteed, especially if civilians become involved.”

“I don’t care about any of that,” Sakura scoffed.

When he chose this career path for himself a few years ago, he’d decided that the only way he would make a positive impact with his ‘skill set’ was to punch out bad guys and kick down any evil obstacles until criminals were arrested and peace of the city was reclaimed. Well, he wouldn’t think that highly of himself, but it was a goal and mindset he was working towards. Very, very gradually. Being dropped into dangerous situations, getting injured on duty��� those were all things Sakura had expected he’d have to face eventually coming into this job, and the thought of it had never fazed him.

After what he’d been through, nothing much could.

“Maybe you should care about that a little,” Hiiragi huffed, and Sakura ignored him.

“And anyway, aren’t you being just a tad bit overly optimistic here?” Sakura said, his mismatched eyes expressing obvious doubt that other junior officers wouldn’t dare articulate directly in front of their captain, but he’d never been the type to remain quiet when it came to important matters, and this was important in more ways than one. “This will only work assuming he even wants to… d-date someone. What if he doesn’t swing that way? What if he already has someone he’s seeing? I don’t fancy playing the third wheel in someone else’s relationship.”

“Ah, such a pure and kind heart you have, young Sakura,” Umemiya praised him, though Sakura was sure the older man might be half-mocking him. “Don’t you worry about that front. From what we know, Suo’s past romantic partners have all been men, and he’s currently single. Most likely.”

“Most. Likely.” Sakura had a huge urge to roll his eyes, but he stopped himself.

“Well, from what you’ve told us, it sounds like Suo has taken a special liking to you,” Umemiya pointedly ignored that little, tiny gap in his perfect plan. “There’s no reason he’d say no, right?”

‘Who’d be insane enough to date a cop whom they know is after them?’ Sakura wanted to retort but kept the thought to himself, because he already knew the answer, didn’t he?

I've been thinking about a Noroshi Sakura ever since Endo showed off his slimy fucking face way back in chp. 85, so I redrew the scene with Sakura in it.

He is not having the greatest time with Endo.

Wind Breaker Week Day 7 #2

Suo really wished he’d be given permission to eat something else for a change. Anything else, really. This bland, bitter, nasty food was far too difficult to stomach. He was sick of it.

And he understood that intermittent fasting had several benefits and helped keep him healthy and in shape, but it just…..didn’t feel worth it to Suo.

It felt like his life was just rinse and repeat; the same awful meal eaten alone every single day.

Until one day, Suo found his routine interrupted.

___

Umemiya has a talk with Suo, and they share a meal together.

I already wrote something for every day of @windbreakerweek, but the "bento" prompt was calling me so here I am with a late extra submission.

This one follows after the 5+1 fic I did where Suo gets visited by his friends

Wind Breaker Week 2024 | Day 3: In which Sakura is flustered (again) and Nirei has a decision to make.

Title: hush hush Fandom: Wind Breaker Characters/Ships: SuoSaku, Nirei, Hiiragi Rating: PG Summary: In which cop!Sakura and gangster!Suo meet, fight, and fall in love (probably). A/N: Took me an extra couple of days but here's day three~

Day 3: Firsts

“Y-You’re fucking insane!”

After managing to reign in the coughing, his gold and grey eyes watery from almost choking to his death — for the second time that week, no less — Sakura cursed, wiping the dripping tea off his chin roughly with the back of his hand while glaring up at Suo accusingly.

“I wouldn’t say that’s an apt description of myself,” Suo chuckled while offering the other man a paper napkin, which Sakura snatched from his hand without so much as acknowledging the fact that their fingers just skimmed against each other, and the heat that spread from the one small touch was enough to make Sakura blushed a deeper red.

‘Get your shit together,’ Sakura scolded himself.

Amused by the officer’s adorable reaction, Suo continued, “but people have said that about me a few times in passing.”

“I bet nothing good came out of that, huh?”

”Well, they aren’t you, Sakura-kun,” Suo gave him another quiet, little smile that was definitely doing something to Sakura’s chest, if his heart beating painfully against his ribs was any indication.

With that vague sentiment hanging in the air between them like something tangible and delicate, Suo left him to his own thoughts.

Sakura swore the man was even humming to himself, like he was proud he’d made a mess out of him.

This wasn’t the first time he’d been confessed to (‘Did that even count as a confession?’ Sakura wondered, his brows knitted together in bewilderment.) but what he had experienced as most people would consider sweet, memorable moments only brought him bitterness and pain. He didn’t like to be reminded of those handful of times when someone had told him they liked him, because despite everything — despite all the lies he’d been told, all the tricks he’d fallen for, all the promises broken so effortlessly — despite all that, he still wanted to believe that someone out there in this world could love him.

All of him: jagged fragments, barely held together, bruised and full of blemishes.

He did believe them, and his heart was torn to shreds because of his own foolishness.

Never again, he promised himself.

-

“Hey, Nirei, is Sakura okay?”

“Hiiragi-san, sir!” Nirei scrambled to give his superior the mandatory salute, but the lieutenant of their team simply waved the greeting off.

His frown was etched deeper than usual on his forehead, and he could feel his stomach cramping up at the sight of their usually energetic junior officer, who could be found either tapping away at his laptop enthusiastically researching for a case or bothering one of the senior officers to train with him, sitting so still at his desk that if it wasn’t for his occasional blinking and muttering to himself, he could be passed off as a statue.

“Sakura-san is… uh…” Nirei scratched his head with his pen, hesitating to fill Hiiragi in on what had happened at Windchimes last week.

Sakura had told him with a terrifying stern expression that they needed to keep their meeting with Suo a secret from the rest of the team. Knowing Hiiragi, the lieutenant would probably want to put a stop to whatever shenanigans the duo was planning after their identities had been discovered.

There was no point in closing in on Suo as undercovers anymore, so they needed another plan. When Nirei asked his coworker to clarify, Sakura’s eyes were gleaming with such ambition and determination that part of him kind of regretted asking.

Did he really want to take part in whatever craziness Sakura had cooked up in his desperation to capture Suo Hayato?

They’d been partners since they were fresh out of the police academy. During their training days, both Sakura and Nirei had been popular targets for bullying: Sakura for his strange hair and eyes, and Nirei for his weak physique. Through fate or just the fact that Sakura couldn’t leave a poor kid who couldn’t — or wouldn’t — defend himself alone, he saved Nirei from a particularly serious bout of beating.

The situation had been so grave that it’d escalated to the point where the higher-ups had to be called in for a series of meetings.

The trainee who’d started it all and acted as the leader of the group was expelled at once; he would be blacklisted in any line of work related to the disciplinary services.

The rest of the group had been given dire warnings and punishment in the form of various hard labour, physical tasks in the training facility, as well as handwritten letters of repentance, articulating their wrongdoings and ways they should improve themselves.

Sakura was close to getting kicked out, too, since he’d injured some of the boys so badly that a few of them had their bones broken, and one individual even suffered a concussion and remained in a coma for a while.

It was Nirei who pleaded with the instructors to spare Sakura. He told them all that had happened: how he and Sakura had been consistently taunted and abused while the staff’s backs were turned, how they’d never once raise a fist in self-defence, until the group had taken it way too far.

Since then, Nirei and Sakura had been inseparable.

Sakura personally taught him self-defence techniques, and trained with him at the gun range until closing everyday; in return, Nirei’s personable and bubbly, happy-go-lucky attitude gradually softened up some of the sharp, harsh edges that initially made Sakura unapproachable to most people.

They were good influences to each other, and Nirei would always be thankful that Sakura had taken that step to give him a helping hand when he needed it most in his life.

And that was also why it was incredibly difficult for him at this very moment in time: on one side was his best friend and most trustworthy ally in the force, asking him to keep their encounter with Suo a secret, and on the other side was his respectable lieutenant whom he knew cared deeply for his men, showing concern for a fellow officer and wanting to know how he could help.

“I think this may be the first time I’ve ever seen the brat being so quiet and calm since he transferred to this department,” Hiiragi mused, shaking his head. “I’m worried. Should I be worried? Is there something going on with Sakura that he’s not telling me?”

He directed that question at Nirei, whom he knew was a close buddy of Sakura’s in the workplace. He was loyal and dependable where it counted, and Hiiragi was certain that if he phrased the question in a way that made the junior officer consider this more as a matter of his partner’s wellbeing, he was definitely going to get some useful intel from the blond.

Nirei glanced at Sakura’s side profile, biting his lower lip in worry.

Ever since he’d returned from his one-on-one visit with Suo at Windchimes that morning, Sakura had been acting so unlike himself that it was almost unnerving. He didn’t seek out Nirei either, so he could only assume that, whatever Sakura and Suo had discussed, his companion wanted to keep it between just the two of them.

He couldn’t stand seeing Sakura suffer silently by himself like this, so he made a decision, praying to whatever deities there were that Sakura would forgive him after this.

“See, Hiiragi-san, the thing is—”

And Nirei told him everything.

It's a ship prompt but this trio is also my three-way ship 😂🤣

I wanted to color it better but I'm still bad at it 🤷‍♀️

Reference and other version below

For some reason, i also like this no-line version. It's got different appeal

I tried to track down the original pic of cats that i used for a previous fanart and my google lens led me to this particular pic, same set of cats. It's so funny that i knew i had to do another one. I did my best to capture the expressions 😅
