" oh, i took the most adorable photo of the baby yesterday while they were sleeping! wanna see? " Tadashi to Koichi . @multianime .
𝐊𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈 𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐄𝐃 ; after a long day of meetings and showcases he was ready to spend some time with his husband and crash. Their son having been in bed already by the time Koichi arrived home ━━━━ this was something he had been hesitant about when Tadashi spoke about having children. Koichi would love to, had always dreamed of it, but he knew his job wasn’t ideal for having a family.
It sometimes upset him that he was probably missing so much of his child’s life as he travelled the world for work. But at least he had Tadashi to keep him updated. ❛ Oh! I would love to! ❜ He exclaimed softly, eyes shining from with excitement. ❛ While we are talking about this, tell me darling, how was your day? Did you guys do anything fun? ❜

𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆…𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐊𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 𝐀 𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 ; he had always hated the word, remembered being called that plenty of times by former teachers, former friends, former lovers. And each and every time Koichi has proved them wrong, this time however, could he prove Yuu wrong? He himself didn’t know what he had done, and the younger was adamant in saying that Koichi had done nothing, that he had nothing to do with the situation but that was a lie, wasn’t it? Because clearly, something about Koichi upset Yuu.
❛ Alright, then what is it? ❜ He shot back, gentle voice sounding a little more on edge, a little more desperate. Koichi wasn’t good with emotional confrontations. He could speak in public about any topics, create and spin speeches out of thin air, but emotional conversations were not his forte. He was too soft. Too emotional. ❛ If its isn’t something I’ve done, and if it has nothing to do with me, then what is it? ❜
It wasn’t fair, and clearly Yuu did not want to talk about it. An inner voice begged Koichi to stop, saying that he was upsetting his little brother. Another even more well hidden voice whispered that if they didn’t have that conversation then, they’d never do it.
❛ Are we, ❜ Koichi stopped, heart sinking at the words he’d utter. ❛ Are we just not good enough for you? ❜ We as Koichi himself, as in Takashi, as in Kiyomi, as in Ainosuke. Did Yuu just despise all of them? Were they not good enough to be considered his family too?

❝ move before i sit on you. ❞ - takashi to koichi . @ghoulsmuses
𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐑 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐊𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈 ; but when he did have the time to stay there, Koichi found himself feeling more creative than ever, the safety of being home embracing him ━━━━ he knew for some the atmosphere at the manor with its countless staff members, and pristine surfaces could be oppressing to some, but to him it just reminded him of his dad. There was no need for him to pretend within the manor, he could be himself, safe under Ainosuke's guard. So dressed in casual clothes, grey sweatpants and a white tank-top, sketch book in hand as he came up with countless new designs and ideas, Koichi lounged on the couch ━━ occupying most of the sitting space for his legs.
Takashi's voice pulled his eyes from his work, and Koichi smiled brightly up at his younger brother. ❛ That isn't such a scary threat, Kashi. ❜ He chuckled, but moved to give his brother space to sit down, hands hastily tying his hair into a messy bun on top of his head.
❛ How long have you been home? I didn't see you arrive. ❜ Koichi commented, or perhaps he had just been too absorbed in his sketches to see Takashi arriving. He could get detrimentally focused on a task from time to time, even if he had been just relaxing and enjoying a rather lazy day for his standards.

Kazuma's settles in front of the TV, something he hasn't done in what feels like years, much preferring the entertainment of one of Shigure kun's bodice rippers. Every so often though, he will find himself tuning into the evening news. As he casually flicks through the channels, he catches a glimpse of someone very familiar looking, quite unmistakable in the flamboyant manner of dress and unique tattoos. Silenced by shock Kazuma's gaze slides to Koichi, then to the screen, then back to Koichi. ━━━ @kisumshi
𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐀𝐒 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐊𝐄𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆. While he had been looking forward to a holiday, he couldn’t help but to bring along his sketchbooks and supplies, not even thinking about work but simply because that’s what he enjoyed doing on his leisure time aside from gardening.
Curled up on the couch, sketchbook propped onto his knees, Koichi’s hand expertly ran a pencil through the thick drawing paper, the soft sounds of it making him relax even more. That day he wasn’t sketching outfits, not wanting to burn himself out of ideas outside of work, and so he was drawing people. Different body shapes, practicing shading.
It had been years since he allowed himself to draw simply for the pleasure of it, the act so all consuming that he didn’t even notice when a presence joined him on the couch. Only vaguely listening to the sounds of the TV being turned on. A few more minutes passed as Koichi continued to draw happily, and then he felt eyes on him.
Crimson hues left the sketchbook to peer up, staring at the TV and the moment he laid eyes on the screen he smiled. Head turning to the side to look at Kazuma. ❛ Oh, that’s me! ❜ He exclaimed, soft and gentle voice warm and happy.
❛ Lord, can you believe my PA let me do that interview looking like that? I was so drunk already… ❜ the green haired male sighed, shaking his head. And then he realised the odd silence from the older man. ❛ K-Kazuma-kun? Is—are you okay? ❜

❝ you’re almost an hour late! ❞ - kiyomi to koichi . @ghoulsmuses
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐓 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐊𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐄𝐃 ; bright and lively, like the sun shining bright after months of rain ━━━━ he had been so excited for this event, Kiyomi having asked him to accompany her for this school gathering, one of the few still left for his little sister. They had agreed to meet at the manor at two hours before they needed to be at school, so they could talk about things and Koichi could get all the information he apparently needed. But he had gotten a bit excited and carried away with dressing up, changing outfits countless times. In the end, it had been his hair to delay him the most, getting it perfectly straight and presentable was a big task.
❛ I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mimi. ❜ He apologised, delicately hugging her as to not mess up her gorgeous outfit and makeup. Kiyomi looked just like daddy, but there was a softness to her that perhaps alluded to Tadashi-san. She was gorgeous, and Koichi imagined her to be rather popular at school. ❛ You can blame my tardiness on my hair this time. ❜
Crimson eyes met their mirrors on Kiyomi's, and Koichi smiled once more, almost vibrating with excitement. ❛ So, are you ready? Can I know what this big event is about now? ❜ She had been adamant in keeping it a secret from him and it almost killed him.

𝐁𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐀 𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐍, Koichi had learned that very early in life. He had known things his siblings wouldn’t ever even think about, had seen sides of their parents that no longer existed, and he wondered just how much Yuu knew about the fallout that allowed for him to grow up with Kojiro and Kaoru. Because Koichi knew some things, some details that daddy had shared with him only. ❛ I— can I tell you something? And I swear I’m not trying to start anything, it even isn’t my story to tell, but I feel like you deserve to know… ❜
Ainosuke would be disappointed in him for sharing this detail, and he wasn’t sure how Kaoru would feel but at the end of the day, Koichi owed him nothing. His only link to the pink haired male were the half siblings he had given him. ❛ Daddy did try to visit you when you were a baby, many times actually, but he wasn’t allowed to see you. ❜ Koichi hadn’t been told why, but Ainosuke had shared that Kaoru forbade him from seeing Yuu. ❛ Your father he, he didn’t allow daddy to see you. That’s when he set up the allowance to be deposited into a bank account for you. ❜
The older male nodded, he knew very well how easy it is to just push your problems away, to bury them under however many things so as to try and ignore them. But he also knows how much it starts to hurt long term, how it festers inside like an infected wound. ❛ I understand that, I am still glad that you’re willing to talk to me about it though. I hope it’ll lessen the burden in your heart. ❜ Koichi said softly, eyes watery as he hoped to help his younger brother.
The moment Yuu consents to the hug, Koichi lights up, and so unbearably gently he wraps his arms around the pink haired male. Pulling him into a tight but gentle hug, melting into it as his heart rejoiced at the fact that he was finally hugging his brother. Their first hug ever. ❛ It’ll work, trust me when I say that, it’ll work. ❜ Koichi reassured, a hand going to Yuu’s hair, gently running his fingers through the soft strands.
❛ But we don’t have to rush into it, we can do things slowly. However you want. Just know that I’ll be with you, every step of the way, okay? ❜

❝ hey, you’re squishing me! ❞ - akihiko to koichi ━━ @stiiricidium
𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒, Koichi was the one who had a good relationship with all of them. It hadn’t always been that way ━━━━ he could still recall his falling out with Yuu, but eventually things settled, they talked again and they were close now, slowly moving towards a stronger bond. His relationship with Akihiko had always been good, like many of his siblings Koichi had watched the boy grow and was ridiculously attached to him.
❛ I am most definitely not~ ❜ he giggles, tightening his hug around the younger man. With both of them sitting next to each other on the couch, it was very easy for the green haired male to dote on his baby brother.
❛ Can’t a guy just miss his baby brother and want to cuddle him anymore? ❜

“you have no idea how much i want you" kazuma to koichi uwu @kisumshi
𝐊𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐊𝐒 ; butterflies fluttering wildly in his stomach as the words Kazuma uttered made a home in his heart. Already gentle features softened even more as the younger man approached the other, gently placing a hand onto Kazuma’s chest, pushing him softly until his back was against the wall.
The green haired make looked into deep brown eyes and melted, pressing his body against Kazuma’s, sighing in delight at feeling the man he had grown to harbour feelings for so close to him. ❛ That’s alright… ❜ he said, voice so incredibly soft in the silence of the apartment. His heart hammering loudly against his ribs, his need for Kazuma had been ever growing since the moment they met. ❛ You don’t have to hold back. ❜
Tilting his head up, Koichi brushed his lips over the older man’s, lashes fluttering as excitement ran through his veins at that barely there touch. ❛ You can have me, Kazuma. ❜

"Hey babe?"
Katsuo shuffles into his place, dropping his bags near the door and rummaging through one of them for the gift he had for Koichi. He shoves everything off to the side once he finds the disc case he's looking for. Inside the cover slip, He'd placed a nice photo of the two of them. He was incredibly nervous, heart racing in his chest. He'd never written a song for any of his partners before but...Koichi was different.
Koichi was someone that Katsuo could see himself spending the rest of his life with. As cliche as it is, He'd never really believed in love until he'd met Koichi and now he was experiencing an entirely new side of life with his love.
"I, uhm." Katsuo pauses, clearing his throat as his voice cracks. "I made you a thing." He rubs at the back of his neck with his free hand, avoiding Koichi's gaze as he holds out the CD case. @ghoulsmuses
𝐊𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄 ━━ Katsuo’s home ━━ quite early that afternoon. They had exchanged keys to each other’s places quite early on their relationship, so Koichi didn’t feel strange by being there on his own. Only Katsuo’s pets as company. As the sun started setting, he decided to surprise his love with a little home-cooked dinner. Nothing too fancy, just some homemade comfort food.
Perhaps it would be surprising for many to know that Koichi could manage his way around a kitchen rather well, considering who his parents were ━━━━ aside from Kojiro, Koichi knew Ainosuke couldn’t cook anything but a few very specific dishes. He had been cutting up some vegetables to put in his curry when the noise of Katsuo unlocking the door and walking inside made his heart flutter.
His love was home!
❛ Yes? ❜ He responded as Katsuo called out for him, drying his hands on a small cloth as he walked into the foyer. ❛ Hm? ❜ The green haired male makes a soft little noise, encouraging his lover to continue. Crimson eyes impossibly soft as he gazed at Katsuo, the urge to hug him and kiss him almost an itch in Koichi’s very soul.
And the he looked at what Katsuo held to him, and his brain really assimilated what the other had said. ❛ You…you made me a CD? ❜ Koichi’s voice was shaky, eyes already tearing up at the thought of Katsuo writing him songs ━━ to be fair the reaction would be much the same if the other had simply gifted him a mixtape of his favourite songs. Koichi wasn’t used to getting presents from his lovers, he wasn’t used to being treated so well, so lovingly in the way that Katsuo treated him.
❛ Oh my god, oh my god thank you! ❜ Koichi beamed, tears streaming down his face as he took the glass case in his hands delicately. ❛ I can’t wait to listen to it! ❜

Koichi whats your favorite position
𝐊𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 𝐈𝐍 ; was it really okay to talk about his intimate life so openly? Wasn’t it a bit embarrassing?
❛ I—Mhm, well, that would depend on my partner. ❜ He stuttered, feeling oddly shy under the spotlight like that. He usually wasn’t, Koichi was very open to talk about sexuality and all things pertaining sex, he just grew shy when the focus was on him. ❛ I enjoy being taken from behind, on all fours, sometimes with my chest pressed to the bed. ❜ His voice was meek, cheeks burning as he spoke.
❛ Other times I enjoy being under my partner, letting them ride me and enjoy themselves. ❜ That was absolutely one of his favorite positions, riding and being ridden by a lover was an experience Koichi would always enjoy. Just looking at his partner, knowing that he is the one to make them feel all of those things. It was so gratifying.

Koichi, do you still ask your parents for anything?
❛ Love and affection. ❜ Koichi said, and he wished he was joking but it was very much the truth. He had acquired independence from his parents very early in life, but one thing he’d never stop asking or seeking was their love, affection and attention.
Koichi was clingy, he was sensitive and he needed his parents. So he would often call or show up, cling to them like he did as a child and just recharge. Let their presence and love soothe his weary soul. ❛ I ask my parents for affection very, very often, but other than that, I also ask them for advice when I have any problems at work or in my personal life. ❜

Koichi, have you dressed up your other siblings too? Have you ever designed something specifically with Riku in mind?
❛ Yes, plenty of times. ❜ He says, eyes lighting up with excitement to talk about his siblings and his job. ❛ I frequently gift Takashi and Kiyomi with clothes tailored to them, and I often get commissioned by Shion to make things for him. I have yet to try dressing Yuu and the twins but I am sure one day that opportunity will present itself. ❜
Once the topic became Riku, Koichi grew a bit nervous. He always got a bit insecure about designing for Riku ━━ after all, his brother was a designer too. Different fields but still, he had an artistic eye too, what if he disliked what Koichi had made. ❛ Do keep this between us, but I have a couple of sketch books filled with designs made specially for Riku. I just haven’t been brave enough to show them to him. ❜

Koichi, do you think you could ever be as close to your other siblings as you are now with Riku?
𝐀𝐒 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐀𝐒 𝐊𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒, tried very hard to build a strong bond with them, he knew it’d be impossible for this bond to be as remotely close as to what he had with Riku.
❛ I don’t believe that is possible. ❜ He said, voice sweet and crimson eyes softening as he thought of his twin. ❛ Riku and I have shared a womb, we have been together for the very first moment of our conception. There’s a link between us that doesn’t exist between me and my other siblings no matter how much I love them too. ❜ Koichi was bound to Riku, their souls a single one that had been split in two.

Koichi, what do you consider yourself the best at compared to your siblings?
𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐄𝐃, 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐁𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒, 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 𝐈𝐓? Compared to all his siblings, Koichi was the best communicator. So much so it had been a wonder he hadn’t gone into politics.
❛ I am the best at communicating. ❜ He said, fondness all over his voice as he thought about his siblings. ❛ Shion comes close but I am still better than him at that. Specially at public speaking. ❜

Koichi, do you have more boyfriends or girlfriends?
𝐊𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍, but it wasn’t one that was very hard to answer. ❛ I’ve always had more girlfriends than boyfriends, ❜ he commented, thinking back to his childhood and school years. ❛ Both platonic and romantically speaking. ❜
It was only after adulthood that he started giving men more of a chance. He didn’t regret it, but women still held him in their grips very tightly. ❛ I still lean heavily towards women for both friendship and romance but I am no longer so opposed to men as I once was. ❜

Koichi, do you keep any toys in your parents homes?
Koichi frowned, did anyone actually do that?
❛ Of course not. ❜ He would be mortified if his parents found any toys or even if his siblings found them in his belongings. The embarrassment would kill him and so Koichi kept all toys at home, his own home and not at his parents’.
❛ I wouldn’t want them to accidentally find any of my toys. ❜
