#I know Sousuke is the odd one out but who cares

[hoshi-y]

Hii! I was wondering since requests are open if you would want to write Tsukasa, Hanako, and Mitsuba with a s/o like hunter from the owl house ok if you need personality and stuff here you go

Hunter personality: he is traumatized and isn’t used to kindness, he’s kind and is a nerd and flipping adorable but is scared of belos and people because of his past

The important things: he figured out he is a clone of belos brother who he killed and had killed many clones of his brother before him and he won’t leave hunter alone bro 😭 after being manipulated/abused for so long he finally has family and friends and is so cute around his crush willow you don’t have to make the reader a clone but maybe they were abused and learned their life was a lie and they had to escape(hunter escaped too)

Ps I love your writing

"You... Thank you.."

Genre : Fluff

Characters : Yugi Tsukasa, Hanako, Mitsuba Sousuke

TW : None

A/N : AHHH TYTYSM, It shocks me alot of people love my writing, some of them don't even make sense HAHAHHAHA and of course ! I have to watch a few of his screen times just to make sure I get his personality and attitude right, but its quite odd, he's kind yet he isn't used to kindness

I HOPE YOU ENJOY 💗

Tangerines

"[F/N]! I bought you some sweet tangerines!!" Tsukasa said as he took of his shoes and placed it on the table

You put your book down and watched as he happily walked over to you showing a very filled up bag with tangerines, probably his parents that gave him that

Tsukasa has been dating you for a week now, and you have never been this happy actually. "Here! You have to try one, mom said she picked out the best out of the group for you~" Tsukasa sat down as he began to peel one of them "for.. me?"

"Mhm! Mom has taking a very huge liking on you lately, here say ahh~" He held a piece of tangerine to your mouth but you just stared at him "I can feed myself Tsukasa—"

"Ehh but I want to feed you... Pleaassee?" He was giving you those puppy eyes so you gave in "Alright.." You opened your mouth and he dropped it into your mouth, this has been going on for awhile now, not that you wanted it to end nor did you find it weird, well it is you weren't used to this kind of thing

Despite his chaotic and hyper nature, he'd lessen it just for you because he knows how much you hate exerting energy and noise, but you don't know why he would do that

"Tsu?"

"Yes?" Tsukasa pulled you towards him more leaving no space in between you two "Why... Why do you these things for me?"

"What things?"

"Like.. Carrying my bag, feeding me.. Or not being as hyper as you were" Tsukasa hummed as he hugged you tighter tangling his legs with yours "Well.. I just wanted to let you experience the things no one ever did for you, I hated it when you told me that they would always mistreat you"

Tsukasa placed both hands onto your cheek as he peppered your face with kisses as you giggled

"I know you aren't used to it, but I want you to get used to it, alright? you'll be getting this treatment from me for as long as you're with me~" Tsukasa hugged you tightly as if he didn't wanna let you go

You yawned and found a comfortable position to sleep "Sleep, I want to take you out somewhere tomorrow" He combed your hair with his hand soothing you to sleep

He kissed your forehead one last time as he smiled at your sleeping face "Goodnight [F/N].."

Skin Care

Mitsuba is head over heels for you just saying, you were very cute which frustrated him in a good way

You placed down your burger as you looked at Mitsuba staring at you so intensely "Sousuke... Um.. Is there something on my face??"

"Why do you look so cute.."

You froze, melting?? your face was on fire though. You didn't know how to respond so you just kind of stared at him "I-i.. Um.."

"Hmp, that is not fair, what do you use on your skin? your hair? Please... Tell me..." He was all up on your face as some customers were looking at you two, you cleared your throat "Sousuke... Space please there are people around..." You felt your ears burning

"Sousuke... What are we doing in the mall.." There were alot of people today, well it was a Saturday, but being around this many people just.. Scared you, but you didn't wanna ruin Mitsubas mood so you sucked it up. "I want to follow this cute skin care routine I found online, and I'll have to swueeze some secrets from you aswell"

Mitsuba grabbed your hand and walked into the first store he saw. Despite all this you had fun, and Mitsuba did get some of the products you use on your face and he was happy about it "Sousuke, I'm gonna go over there" Mitsuba nodded as you walked over to this cute shelf filled with themed masks

As you were looking around, two sales ladies walked up to you, even though you had a different colored basket signaling you didn't want any help but you guessed they were new..

"Welcome valued customer~ What type of facemask are you willing to grab?" She asked eagerly, a part of you wanted to ignore them but you didn't want to, so the best you could do is say you didn't want any help but you were too scared to say so

"We recommend the ones with lavender scent, it has tea essence and is good for pores!" She grabbed a pack and showed it to you "A-ah, thank you.." You just wanted to run out of there by now

"Excuse me, but they are using a seperate colored basket for people who don't need assistance" You wanted to turn around and hide in Mitsubas arms when you heard him from behind you "Oh my goodness we're so sorry! It's our first day and no one has told us, our deepest apologies" They bowed and went to other customers who are in need of assistance

"And this, will be the last time I'll ever leave you alone, are you done looking for what you need? cause I am" He said proudly with his almost filled basket "Mhm.. I just want to go home right now" you and Mitsuba paid and left the mall, you really didn't wanna go home yet so you stayed over at his house

You two were doing each others skin care while watching k-drama at the back "AGH you dumb boy that's not her! that's her evil twin!" Mitsuba shouts in frustration, you giggled as your phone went off "Alright, you can take of the mask now"

You took off the face mask and threw it in the trash "And one more procedure" Mitsuba raised his eyebrow "One more? I knew you were holding something back" You giggled and sat on his lap "H-hey pervert what do you think your doing?"

You held his face with both hands and started slowly peppering kisses onto his face "My last procedure is kisses, really good for the cheeks" Mitsuba just let you do your thing, deep down, he was really happy.

Astronomy Buddies

The 1st and 2nd years were gonna have a field trip to this planeterium and everyone was excited, and you were more excited than anyone ever "I can't wait when we get to stargaze tomorrow" You placed all your things in your bag "Mhm! I heard the planeterium is pretty far too, but I think the long ride will be worth it!" Your best friend, Yashiro Nene said excitingly "Oh my gosh, what if in the dark hallways I bump into a tall handsome man?!" She daydreamed

You shook your head "The only tall handsome. man you'll meet in the dark hallways might be a kidnapper... " Your words didn't reach her as she went on and on about meeting a guy who will save her from darkness

"Still as delusional as ever Yashiro-san" Amane laughed "Be quiet!" Yashiro snapped at him, she grabbed her bag and went for the door "I'll see you tomorrow [F/N]!" You waved goodbye to her as she ran down the hall, you looked back at Amane who was taking a comfortable shut eye on your desk

"Amane.. Let's go home hm? we need to pack for tomorrow" You softly ran your fingers thru his soft black choppy hair, Amane gently grabbed your hand and lifted his head "Alright, Love" He gave you one of his signature smiles as an arrow went thru your whole entire soul

`Im having a crush on him all over again.. '

"Alright, listen up whipper snappers. We will be having a 'Buddy System'. Whoever you are seated next to will be your buddy throughout the trip, if you lose them, then that will go onto your grades for science and physical education. " Tsuchigomori said boredly "Don't make a ruckus, this is a long drive. Sleep or not just don't be too noisy."

You sat down by the window and watched as Amane placed your bags at the top. "Alright.. Now for a little shut eye cause man I am still tired.." Amane sat down next to you as he yawned "Aren't you sleepy? this is gonna be a 3 hour ride Love.." He gently placed your head on his shoulder

"But I'm not tired"

"Mhm.. Just stay there.." He placed his head ontop of yours as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

You and Amane seat at the far back, where some of the luggages, coolers, or bags were kept, no one was at the other side of you seat and mostly of the students were infront of you two. So basically it was only you and him.

"Amane.."

You felt him shift on your head as he hummed. "The moon is very pretty.." Amane rested his chin on your head as he also looked at the moon "It's very bright and full today.. But I'd rather look at you instead~"

"Be quiet and go back to sleep.." You hid in his arms as the tip of your ears were burning.

Unbeknownst to you, he had a huge smile on a his face with a hint of red.

"S-shesh its cold—" Fuji rubbed his hands together trying to get some heat for this mornings harsh winds "You wouldn't get used to it because your always up late." Akane blurted out while Fuji stuck his tongue out

While others were conversing among themselves, you were getting pretty excited even though all of you were just in the lobby "Love I got you some hotdogs" Amane gave you one as you thanked him eating it "You seem pretty excited" You nodded "I heard that were alot of sightseeing and I want to take pictures for my Journal making"

Amane hugged you tightly "God you look so cute.." He peppered your face with kisses "Amaannee.."

A few moments later they finally let all of you in, Your eyes sparkled with excitement and glee when you saw the many different sightseeing inside. The place was dark to help illuminate the planets, universe, and of course the moon and stars.

"Remember kids, if you lose your partner, that will be deducted from your grade in science. The whole purpose of this is to research and do the giver task I have given to all of you." Your science teacher said "But despite that, I want all of you to have fun."

"Wow.. these projectors are no joke.." You looked at the ceiling as it displayed the whole solar system "Amane look over there!" You grabbed his hand as you two entered another dark room that illuminated the kinds of stars. "Its so pretty.."

"Not as pretty as you~"

"Lets just do our task and have fun.."

You and Amane did the task easily and fast since both of you had the same knowledge with your chosen topic, actually you two were the first to be done. "Thats not fair these two are nerds with astronomy..." Fuji sighed in frustration "Are you gonna help me Yamabuki or not?!"

Students scurry off to find information or to discover theor topics while you and Amane spent your leisure walking down halls exploring the many sightseeing things in the planeterium.

You two walked in a dark room illuminating all kinds of stars, as you stared in awe Amane took a sneak picture of you. "Hey, delete that!" You tried grabbing his phone but he was taller "Nu-uh~ This will be my new phonescreen for a year. Scratch that I'm never gonna take it off"

A few teasing here, a few flirting there. And of course, the sharing of love you and Amane had on a specific topic, Astronony. You two were basically nerds about this, people would often call you two the 'Star Couple' or 'Planet lovebirds'.

"Ahh, which reminds me. I have a gift for you" Amane reached into his pocket as he pulled out a cute little red box with a white ribbon on it, he handed it to you but you placed it back onto his hand "Amane.. I told you to stop buying things for me.."

"And I want to spoil you.. So open it up for me?" You hesitated but opened the box, inside was two rings. One with a star on it and one with a moon it. Amane grabbed the one with a star and placed it on your ring finger and placed the other on his

"So, what do you think?"

"Its beautiful.." Admiring the ring on your hand "Thank you Amane.." You hugged him tight as he returned it.

It was time for the stargazing event in the planeterium, rather than the both of you staring at whats up in the sky, you looked at each other

Because you already had what the people adored to look at

and he was sitting right beside you, shining ever so brightly.

Idk if I portrayed Hunters personality right 😞

[cooliogirl101]

The joy of rereading an au is like nothing else I swear your writing has the best reread quality of anything I’ve read and I am living for this addition to the superhero au

What happens when they meet again now that he knows? This must attract a lot of attention to Shiori now right? They liked each other at one point do they start having a relationship?????

Also how does he interact with the twins? I can imagine them being so unimpressed that it took him so long to realise. Does anyone point out that a captains children should be stronger?

Sorry for the amount of questions I would just love to see where this goes from here

Don’t apologize, I love that people are interested in hearing more about this AU!

Unfortunately, Shiori ends up bearing the brunt of the negative attention once the news comes out because fact of the matter is, it’s a lot easier to target a single, unwed mother with no rank and no social power than it is to target a captain and it really, really doesn’t help things that her kids are so “weak.” Because yeah, a lot of people do think that a captain’s kids should be stronger— and they blame the fact that they aren’t on Shiori (because clearly they aren’t inheriting their lack of talent from their father, so obviously it must be their mother’s inferior genes, right?). This, more than anything else, ends up being the reason the twins end up being like yeah no we gotta fake some improvement bc this just isn’t acceptable.

Neither Sayuri nor Sousuke predicted that Shiori would end up paying for their “incompetence.” Shunsui predicted some social backlash but, having no experience with any kind of scandal, also didn’t predict that Shiori would be the one attacked instead of him (say what you like about him, but he’s always taken care to treat women well. The idea of someone targeting a vulnerable woman specifically for her vulnerability is utterly repugnant to him). Shiori was the only person who fully expected that people would villainize her but didn’t bring it up bc she figured she could handle it and she didn’t want the others to worry/hide their relationship for her sake.

Besides, it isn’t like the rumors about her actually bother her much. People say it’s her fault her kids are so weak— well she knows exactly how powerful her kids are and even if they did really suck at fighting, she thinks judging someone for their inability to maim another person is next levels of stupid. People say she seduced the 8th division captain, that she took advantage of him— but like, she finds the idea of anyone “taking advantage” of Kyouraku Shunsui utterly laughable. They say she’s a whore and a gold digger, that she’s only after him for his money and power. She just takes that as more proof that they don’t know her at all

(Actually, she’s more offended on Shunsui’s behalf, at the implication that the only things he’s got going for him are money and power.)

“Honestly, the nerve of some people!” Shiori huffed, crumpling up a tabloid in one hand. “Have you seen what they’ve been saying about us?”

She looked clearly upset. Shunsui glanced at the paper in her hands, a rare glimmer of anger entering deep gray eyes.

“I’m sorry. I’ll put a stop to it,” he promised, a steely edge in his voice.

“It’s ridiculous. A million and one reasons why any woman would be lucky to be with you, and they think I’m after you because you’re rich?” She asked, outraged. “They act as if money and influence are the only things you can contribute. It’s insulting, really.”

“You’re offended…on my behalf?” There was an odd expression on his face.

“Of course! They call you an eligible bachelor but the only things they talk about are your family name, your rank, and your wealth,” Shiori said, waving the magazine around indignantly. “It’s like they can’t think of any other reason I’d want to be with you.”

Shunsui chuckled softly, wrapping his arms around her.

“Leave it to you to get upset by that, of all things. Not that I’m complaining, you’re adorable when you get all protective,” he said fondly, pressing his lips to the top of her head.

“But let’s return to what you were saying earlier, hmm? I believe you were saying there were a million and one reasons anyone would be lucky to have me?” He teased, enjoying the sudden redness in her cheeks. “I’d love to hear some of those reasons.”

(That particular tabloid was “mysteriously” shut down 2 hours later and the owner was found in a nearby bar, white as a sheet, downing shot after shot of the strongest liquor there. After that, people started getting the hint.)

[thatanimewriter]

free! boys as youtubers and streamers

➳ character/s: nanase haruka, tachibana makoto, ryugazaki rei, hazuki nagisa, matsuoka rin, yamazaki sousuke, nitori aiichirou, mikoshiba momotarou, kirishima ikuya, kirishima natsuya, serizawa nao, shigino kisumi, shiina asahi, toono hiyori

➳ warnings: swearing, mentions of alcoholism (natsuya), eating and mentions of (rin, nao)

➳ notes: i just really love free and demand content, honestly. and because i’ve always wondered where they’re getting money to do impromptu trips to australia and paying for housing and uni fees etc. everyone’s financial situations are a mystery.

── 𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐔𝐊𝐀.

we know he loves water, so he’d probably do one of those ‘come with me to my swim meet’ sorta videos

i don’t imagine he’d spend too long editing or care much about angles, so some of the shots might be a bit, um... sketch

his editing might also be a little bit chaotic

but he does make sure that the thumbnails look at least the tiniest bit pleasing for the views

haru isn’t talking in his videos, let’s be honest

he’s the one who at the start of the video puts a little closed captions on note before anything starts so people can interpret at least a little of what he’s doing

that being said, he probably doesn’t put too much effort into captions either

but he does take great joy in reading some of the comments

he usually reads the first few before deciding there are too many and stopping

his username is probably just ‘haru.’

yes, with the full stop

after getting into university, he starts talking a lot more

and people went wild for the famed voice reveal

── 𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐎𝐓𝐎.

just your regular ‘a day in my life’ content

'mako movies’ superiority

always has a segment where he checks in with the cats in his neighbourhood

but the moment he filmed a swimming practice, his views kinda skyrocketed

no one expected that underneath the sweaters and trackies

he keeps his family private in his videos

like, makoto will blur their faces or put some funny photo over them so they can have a life without getting stopped

that being said, makoto almost cried the first time someone stopped him to ask for a picture

he loves the comments, but he gets sad at the hateful ones

then he goes to the replies, and 9 times out of 10, there’s a comment along the lines of this

‘makoto has more talent in a single fingernail than you’ll ever have in your entire lifetime you disgraceful fuck >:((’

it makes him laugh, even if it was a bit aggressive

── 𝐑𝐘𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐙𝐀𝐊𝐈 𝐑𝐄𝐈.

tell me he isn’t one of those academic youtubers

he’s the one teaching people how to solve simultaneous equations when they need it most

i’m sorry rei stans, but he’s probably got a bit of a cheesy channel name

that, or it’s his name in kanji

there’s only 2 sides here

rei probably doesn’t stray far from 2 or 3 subjects to be tutoring the internet on

he has the maths

he has the science

and he’s probably got the odd facts scattered throughout

his comments praise him so much

and he has never been happier to see people close to failing end up acing their next test

like haru, he probably doesn’t talk in his videos either

but even though it’s science and maths

his videos are so aesthetic??

sometimes people don’t watch him for the content, just for visuals

── 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐒𝐀.

he’s a streamer

and probably plays games

i see him doing the animal crossing new horizons 

and probably some horror games

people love this boy

he’s precious to them and they will let nothing put him down

nagisa has a blast playing jackbox with friends and also is one of those minecraft streamers too

he’s a diverse boi

but oh boy is he deep down many of the gacha games

ahem

genshin-

nagisa has a youtube channel as well, but mostly posts highlights and stuff to it

sometimes he’ll just chat to his viewers and tell them stories from his life

comforts those who are struggling with strict parents because SAME

‘PenguinPlays’ is going strong and he’s loving every second of it

── 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐎𝐊𝐀 𝐑𝐈𝐍.

he’s a mukbang streamer

this comes in real handy when he’s living in australia, because none of his friends are there to talk to him

so he eats with the internet for company

he will talk about the strangest subjects

and also talks in english for the world to enjoy

he will speak japanese sometimes if people ask

but for the most part, he’s talking in english

rin will talk about the food itself, and then about his day

ask his audience about how their day has been

while he likes the eating streams, sometimes he’ll stream cooking as well

shares his recipes with the world

rin definitely had a youtube when he was really young

‘sharkshow9000′ will never be forgotten

and thankfully, no one has discovered the dark past of ‘MatsuokaMukbang’

yet

── 𝐘𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐙𝐀𝐊𝐈 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐄.

i see him as one of those fitness and wellbeing youtubers

‘yamazaki fitness’ will reign supreme over the other gym youtubers

people don’t actually watch him for the content sometimes either

he’s not very energetic, so while he’s talking people through fitness regimes or stretches he’d be complaining

‘this is gonna hurt like a bitch, don’t worry, i hate it too, let’s just push through it together...’

he really makes people want to work out when he makes comments like that

once, he looked at a ‘yamazaki fitness once said’ video

and he forgot he said 90% of what was in the video

also watches people try to follow along with his videos like a bob ross tutorial

sousuke enjoys watching them laugh at his comments and fail doing their exercise

though sometimes he hates going to public gyms because he’ll get recognised and it’s just not a fun time

he loves his followers, but he’s at the gym for a reason please leave him be-

── 𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈 𝐀𝐈𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐔.

he’s a bullet journal bitch

those aesthetic pen pal people

with the lofi music in the background

‘notes with nitori’ is everyone’s comfort youtuber

he has the washi tape

he has the calligraphy pens

he has the aesthetic handwriting

nitori is everything

the editing is the most perfect thing anyone has ever seen

it’s so aesthetic and nice

he also has a bit of the asmr with the chill music

nitori is kinda shy, so he doesn’t like being recognised in public, which is why he keeps his face out of his videos for the most part

same with his voice

he’ll write in japanese, but for the sake of the internet, he’ll write in english occasionally

── 𝐌𝐈𝐊𝐎𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐁𝐀 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔.

he’s collecting bugs, convince me otherwise

he also has kinda dodgy editing

haru is a little bit more organised with it, but momo just has random cuts

and a very out of place time lapse

i think he would also leave in clips he meant to cut out because he was rushing

half the time, his camera probably isn’t focused

he’s like, ‘omg look at this stag beetle’

n the screen is just blurry

you can make out the shape of it

barely

‘expedition m&m’ is the himbo of wildlife youtube

but he’s popular

and he brags to his siblings all the time

momo is so excited when fans come up to him asking for a photo

will never deny them

── 𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐀 𝐈𝐊𝐔𝐘𝐀.

ikuya is probably doing those aesthetic cooking videos

his workspace is pristine

and the energy is immaculate

a very calming presence

another youtuber who doesn’t show their face very much

he doesn’t do fancy usernames

so he’s along the lines of haru, where it’s just his name

that being said

‘i. kirishima’ isn’t a bad username

he doesn’t know how to bake many things

so it’s often him filming cooking dinner and such for himself

the comments always like pointing out how he cuts his vegetables into cute shapes

but he also gets praise for his vintage sort of editing style

maybe not vintage

but he for sure exudes dark academia from JUST the font he uses in videos

── 𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐀 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐘𝐀.

man’s an alcoholic, can you imagine how wild his content would be?

a streamer for sure

with no schedule at all

just giving his opinion on things when no one asked

perhaps drunk

he’s also probably a gamer

he thinks he’s so tough

and then one jump scare in fnaf and he’s screaming

it’s really chaotic

he’d be playing some untypical games for him though

splatoon 2, animal crossing new horizons, persona 5

but as kind of tame they are

he certainly is not

‘kirina’ is sort of the baby of tommyinnit and tyler1

and the chat live for it

once he was on stream with a whole sheet mask

because skin care-

── 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐙𝐀𝐖𝐀 𝐍𝐀𝐎.

nao is pretty intelligent

so he probably builds keyboards on youtube

it’s so satisfying when the asmr typing comes in at the end

another aesthetic bitch

and bless his soul

he explains what he’s doing in the captions to the point where if someone wanted to follow along, they could

but when he streams things

which isn’t too often

he builds random things

kind of like nihachu building the chair and desk on stream

and the people love ‘sxrizwa’

sometimes people send him a keyboard to build for them and he builds it on stream while talking to chat

he encourages eating snacks and hydrating when watching his streams

he even has is own snacks and water beside him so they don’t feel like the only ones

── 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐎 𝐊𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐈.

cafe vlogs

purely based on the on my day off art

he’s probably on the lower end of aesthetic

it’s still fun to watch though, but it’s definitely less asmr and more him going

‘why is the whipped cream not coming out??’

and then it all comes out in one big go and his face is like

:000

‘shit.’

but it is great for his work, because people come to the cafe just to see him

he puts little thank you notes on his subscriber’s napkins

he’s totally not meant to

but he does anyway

‘kisumi goodnight’ is his username because he thought it was funny

it sounds like ‘kiss me goodnight’

and we know how kisumi is

if he’s spotted in public, he’ll happily talk to them and take a picture

sometimes he seeks it out

── 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐇𝐈.

i don’t think he’s all that creative, so he’s probably a reaction channel

he’s definitely cried to the movies his subscribers suggest

big hero 6 had no right to kill off tadashi that quickly

his subscribers think it’s funny how he can go from 0 to 100 real quick and vice versa

but sometimes he vlogs

he’s filmed a karaoke night with the other boys and it went...

it went.

the absolute chaos that was the group singing splash free is now a clip on its own

same as the other style five songs

back to reaction channel asahi

another guy who just used his name because he didn’t wanna fucking embarrass himself a decade later

but like rin, he did have a channel before ‘shiina asahi’

may ‘shiiningasahi24′ rest in peace

he mostly does movies and occasionally tv shows

he cried like a little bitch to arcane

understandably

── 𝐓𝐎𝐎𝐍𝐎 𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐎𝐑𝐈.

he’s the other streamer who offers his opinions when nobody asked

but he’ll be building something in minecraft and be ranting about god knows what

it’s quite insightful sometimes

but other times, no one wanted to know about the michelin star system

while ‘toono talks’ is mostly playing chill games like animal crossing, building in minecraft and probably the papa’s games

sometimes he will delve a little into the men’s fashion

a couple of his streams have been styling tips

a much appreciated service for many

but some of the things hiyori talks about really resonates with his audience

because he went on for, like, and hour and a half

about the pink tax

feminist hiyori coming in clutch

but he really invites his chat to rant about things too

he’ll join them in complaining any time

sometimes he’ll say

‘that isn’t very fuck the patriarchy of you’

and it’s his iconic quote now

HC Question: What are your thoughts on Gin's reasons for tormenting Rukia, specifically on the Senzaikyu Bridge in SS arc, and redirecting her to Aaroniero in HM? Given we know he's actually plotting against Aizen, mere casual sadism in his spare time seems a bit odd. We know from Sode no Shirayuki's persona and TYBW that Rukia is capable of being a ruthless and (literally) cold-blooded killer—do you think perhaps he was trying to draw this out of her, as it already existed in himself, to some end?

headcanon. So, it finally arrives -- the day I quit avoiding this and just. Dissect that era of Gin. Considering the amount of time and effort and passion you pour into your meta and headcanon posts, I truly hope I can do ya proud with my own spin! Here goes. I'll have to do this at layers -- because there are many different depths in which this can be taken considering intentional and unintentional implications / character motivations at play.

Firstly, because we know for a fact that, surface-level, Tite wanted to convey Gin as truly villainous to the audience reading Bleach -- it's hard for me to say that Gin could've had ANY motivations beyond a sadistic want to play around with some prey about to meet its end. At this point in time, according to the plot leading up to Volume 17 (in which Gin breaks Rukia's resolve to die), supposedly... everything is playing into the villain's hands. The villain who, thus far, has been painted as Ichimaru Gin. Main antagonist, puppeteer to all, running the diligent and loveable Hitsugaya Toshiro in circles as he seeks to unveil the truth behind Aizen Sousuke's mysterious murder. Everything this far has been 'be careful with Gin' and 'could Gin be behind this, too' and so on.

IMPORTANT: This far into the manga, THE AUDIENCE DOES NOT KNOW AIZEN'S BEHIND EVERYTHING, and Tite may very well be doubling down on throwing the scent via making Gin do a few more deplorable things leading up to that reveal. It's important to keep the narrator's intent in mind when thinking about a particularly difficult-to-decipher moment, because whether Tite meant to or not, he most certainly swayed the story to specifically lead his audience a certain direction. It's safe to assume there was some tugging and tweaking at play to make sure Aizen's reveal packed a punch. Up until the moment Aizen plunges his blade into Hinamori, it's Gin who gets that eerie panel lingering, watching them both, perhaps trying to make the readers feel unease like he's about to ruin their happiness by shooting Shinso -- or whatever that twisted man might do. Either way, that definitely could have been the surface-level reasoning behind Gin strolling out onto that bridge and asking Rukia that one question that restored her hope just enough to make her shake in her calm resolution to die. TL;DR Gin's assholery was Tite's last effort to throw the scent in order to make Aizen's reveal all the more shocking.

A layer beneath that, let's take a look --

GIN ASKS RUKIA IF SHE'S AFRAID, but not due to her own fear of death, no, but because she values the feelings of her friends as they desperately work to stop her from dying -- risking their lives, like Renji has in this instance, to save her. In a way, Gin is asking her if the feelings of her friends are reaching her. "They're all doing this for you, are you just going to give in?" lowkey. Gin is asking Rukia if she's ready to make everything they're doing for her to be all in vain. On a sadistic note, this is incredibly cruel to give someone about to be executed a crisis about letting all their loved ones potentially down via giving up in the face of the inevitable. But also, perhaps Gin is sympathizing. Which leads us into the next layer down --

Kenpachi, taunting and bickering alongside Gin whilst Byakuya deals with their prodding about Rukia's execution coming up -- and their subsequent first introduction to the audience, involves THIS throwaway line about Gin and Tousen. Supposedly, Gin's 'fear of death' is well-known enough for even Kenpachi, social butterfly extraordinaire, to feel confident enough to correct Gin to his face about it. That, or it was a taunt towards Gin, daring him to get into an argument to defend any honor at stake here. However, true or not, there's a huge overarching theme of DEATH specifically circling around Gin at this point in the story. His introduction, here, with Kenpachi, centers around Rukia's impending doom and his own fear of death. His following confrontation and introduction to Ichigo and co. involves scolding the Gatekeeper that 'failure means death' -- the following assassination of Aizen Sousuke / his murder mystery, Gin exudes killing intent at a grief-stricken and attacking Hinamori, which Toshiro then calls Gin out for -- and threatens, with finality, that if a drop of blood is spilled from her, 'I'll kill you myself' -- Gin, warning Izuru to step back whilst confronted by Toshiro later, saying "you don't want to die, right?" -- Gin, leading Hinamori towards a seemingly resurrected Aizen Sousuke, back from the dead. Gin, distinctly being shown to be closely watching as she's stabbed. Gin, being ordered to kill Rukia on Sokyoku Hill. A lot of death and killin' around ya, buddyboi.

Sidenote: Gin may very well have posed his 'fear of death' as a ploy to make him seem cowardly, putting him as one of the only captains to distinctly fear death and therefore 'a cowardly man no one should worry about' etc. etc. but that's just me...

Ultimately, with that taunt of Kenpachi's kept in mind with Gin now asking Rukia this, GIN'S IMPLYING HE'S AFRAID, nervous about failure, anxious about it all being for nothing, about letting his loved ones down and dying. I mean, it's probably too on the nose, right? Right???? ... couldn't be that :'^)

Anyway, there's more.

Another layer down. "IF I WANT TO, I CAN GET YOU OUT OF HERE EASILY. NOT JUST YOU, ABARAI-KUN AND THE OTHERS, TOO." Gin is teasing the possibility of switching sides to Rukia, and he isn't wholly joking about it when doing so. He could. He is distinctly aware. Aizen's betrayed early, after stabbing Hinamori. He brings out Kyoka Suigetsu in a flourish, and reveals its Shikai to Unohana and Isane specifically to explain it, all whilst Gin is directly within arm's reach. The issue being that Aizen could very easily use the four bodies present; Toshiro, Momo, or the captain and lieutenant of his current focus as a body-double to be stabbed by Gin in place, since Kyoka Suigetsu can be activated almost instantly. Gin would have to act fast. It'd be a blink-and-you-miss-it opening and subsequent attack. Which is why I've mentioned that Gin didn't take the shot then, too much room for error and you can't afford that when dealing with Aizen. But regardless, it was an opportunity.

Alternatively, and another layer down, Aizen could be watching at that very moment in time, masked by illusion or via the numerous methods of surveillance he supposedly has used to monitor Ichigo's progress, etc. whilst still within Soul Society and pre-betrayal. Nonetheless, Gin could be pulling Rukia's leg specifically to say to AIZEN that 'hey, wouldn't it fucking suck if I just... took her out from beneath your nose?' which is, yet another frembly remembly, that RUKIA HAS URAHARA'S HOGYOKU WITHIN HER AT THE MOMENT, STILL. Gin knows this. Gin knows that Aizen wants to feed it to his own. The one that has Rangiku's soul piece in it. Y'know. That lovely thing.

In the same vein, if Aizen's watching, Gin can use this as an excuse to make sure Rukia the Hogyoku-carrier makes it to her execution no longer hindered by any outside forces. Gin does this right before the final climax on Sokyoku Hill, meaning he very much could have acted as 'final escort' to ensure Aizen's plan runs smoothly. No straggling Ryoka, no other attempts made. The chaos is contained. The eagle's left the nest.

IT'S SAFE TO ASSUME NO MATTER WHAT GIN'S REASONS WERE, WHAT HE MADE RUKIA FEEL AND GO THROUGH WAS CRUEL, even if it was -- boiled down -- something which actually instilled her to not want to die anymore. Gin's a prime example of 'the goal was good, the execution was evil' etc. etc. so ... yeah.

This's a hot mess but I must continue. I can't keep putting this off.

THE REDIRECTION OF RUKIA TOWARDS AARONIERO'S TOWER.

Gin himself says, when asked (or it's implied by Ulquiorra) if he's distinctly controlling things to make Rukia meet Hollow!Kaien adventure zone or not, Gin says 'I'M NOT THAT CRUEL' essentially, with a 'besides, I hate sad stories' ... implying he knows how tragic Kaien and Rukia's past is, and is aware of her quiet self-blame and despair about it. Not only that, but that he's also aware that Aaroniero's capable of shapeshifting into Kaien, sort of. It's a lot. Is Gin trying to lead Rukia to have her closure about Kaien? Face her fears/demons? Perhaps Gin's acting as the villain of Rukia's storyline, constantly making her heroically endure what will eventually, symbolically, become his downfall: facing his demons/fears, failing to kill Aizen, and Rangiku sobs over him as he dies. Yada yada.

Gin could be lying, saying he isn't doing that when he in fact is, and that HE IS being mean on purpose, too. Yeah, I'm doin' that, I just really fuckin' love bullying Rukia, Ulquiorra. Perhaps Gin's telling the truth, he's trying to override Aaroniero's corridors to give Rukia a clear path through / have her NOT run into the Espada, but it's failing and it's too late, she's too far into the labyrinth. It's said that that whole section of Las Noches is Aaroniero's domain, Gin's controls may not even reach or have a say there, overridden by the Espada's own protocols and lures in which he grabs Rukia and makes her drop right into his waiting palm-ooze. To continue playing off as evil, Gin could be quietly lamenting not being able to steer her away, only capable of watching via security footage. Either way, Gin seems fucking genuine enough in his admission that HE HATES SAD STORIES. Which is depressing to know, considering he becomes one, or perhaps Gin's always been one, knowing he'll end like one, and he's that's why he's able to recognize it in Rukia and tailspin between lashing that out at her, or trying to make her avoid it. Or he's just fucking sadistic, I don't know. My brain's turning off.

Ultimately, I'll never deny that Gin's got a nasty spark in him. He could very well be trolling Rukia for no reason beyond 'she reacts potently and loudly, it's amusing' which is fucked, but also -- she's VERY bad at hiding her emotions, so someone sadistically seeking such things could gain a good bout of amusement from her, yes.

Alternatively, I'm remembering the Rock Musical Bleach moment in which Gin's actor begins happily skipping around and dancing whilst Rukia breaks into her sorrowful song she sings during the reenacted bridge scene between them. That's it, that's his reasoning. He wanted to dance to her despair. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I'm sorry it's incoherent. I'll probably slap myself for forgetting to add things in five minutes after posting, and find a buncha typos too. Fuck my life.

SFW

Intro | Chapter 1 | Chapter 2

July had started in a frenzy. The heat was terrible and even though Sousuke's business was slowly picking up, the pace was probably a little more than what he'd like to put up with for the time being.

Sousuke was running a fishing and diving store in the town of Iwatobi. Actually, the only store to be exact.

He was merchandising nets and small parts for fishing boats, paints for the ships and was also giving diving lessons to anyone who wanted to learn or provided sea tours for the few tourists who ended up in these somewhat far shores of japan. Most of those tourists, were actually coming here after listening about the disasters of the previous year and falling in love with the amazing seascape from the pictures that were projected through the news. Their numbers increasing exponentially as of late.

Generally, if it had to do with Iwatobis’ waters and ocean bed and the old lores surrounding it, or there was a need for a guide to tour the arrestingly beautiful but dangerous rocky scenery, Yamazaki Sousuke was your man. This was common knowledge around these parts.

And so, he desperately needed another pair of hands around; someone he could trust with the costumers. And preferably, someone that wouldn't burn down the place in one go.

Thankfully, he still had some free time during lunch and so he could catch a breath over small talk with a friend every now and then. Currently this was one of these moments, said friend being Rin that had graciously brought donuts to go with the coffee Sousuke usually offers.

"You know just the day before yesterday that weird guy, that works at the laboratory– the one just down the road—" Sousuke motioned, picking up a delicacy with green tea-frosting on.

"Oh! You mean Rei!" Rin exclaimed.

"Yeah, that guy— so, he comes here, ok; and I'm thinking 'alright, maybe he needs something from the store for those weird experiments he's conducting from time to time. No big deal.' And the man just straight out asks the most bizarre question ever." He says in between bites.

"Ever; like what? Your horoscope?" Rin laughs.

"That's not weird man— actually, Hazuki asked me that a while back." Sousuke retorted with a straight face.

But Rin almost choke on his coffee; spraying most of it over Sousuke and the donut he was eating.

No. That wasn't out of character at all, he thought while coughing, still out of breath. It was so ironic that it was very much possible.

Sousuke wiped down his face with his hand and threw the donut to the trash can next to him. Then, pulling out a paper tissue from a nearby box, he wiped his hands and said: "Thanks; coffee bath was what I needed."

"Well, sorry but that was really unexpected. Don't just go on and say stuff like that with this face. I almost choked here! Jeez—" Rin said around an indignant huff.

Sousuke regarded him unamused for a bit and continued; "Well, anyway— so, he comes in and asks me right out of the blue, whether I'm familiar with someone."

"What; just like that? That is odd." Rin bugged his eyes out and put a finger under his lips in a show of exaggerated bafflement.

"Yeah, thanks! So he comes here and asks me if I knew Nanase Haruka; I mean what the— what?" He asks, pausing midway his narration after noticing the others’ expression.

Rin has a scowl on his face and the look in his eyes is full of plain disapproval.

"What!" Sousuke asks again, impatiently.

"… I can't believe you, man." Rin says, "You knew Haru, didn't you? He was the chef at that pastry store that—"

"Yeah, I know who he is. So what? What does that have anything to do with asking me, though?" Sousuke cut him off, "I don't get it, Rin!"

Rin stared at him for a few good seconds, measuring him. He finally said: "Sousuke, have you forgotten about Haru? It's only natural that he'd ask about him…"

Sousuke looked at Rin; he seemed genuinely confused. "Why?" He said.

Rin fixed a disbelieving stare at him, before he answered: "You do remember that the memorial of the 'great disaster', was just this week, right?"

"Yeah. So?" He retorted. Still looking clueless.

"So the one third of the towns' men were killed that day!" Rin replied; angry.

Sousuke kept looking at him like an idiot, unable to connect the dots.

So Rin had to spell it out for him, huh?

"Haru went missing that day, too!" Rin yelled at him.

Sousukes' eyes flickered wildly. "Now, hold on!' He said throwing his arms open, "We don't know that for sure. Besides, every single one of the missing were fishermen. He simply doesn't add up, Rin. Plus— We found all the others bodies, but we never found his!"

Rin narrowed his eyes but he was composed and his voice level, as he said: "No. You never found him."

An open accusation—

"What— what's that supposed to mean? Are you implying that I screwed up in the search? Because I wasn't looking alone—" The towering man tried to defend himself; index finger tapping down on the worn, narrow desk as if to point out something there but...

The redhead cut him off with: "Never said that; but you were the only one that searched the caves and the water. No one else had a boat that worked at that time…"

"Now wait a second! I looked up everywhere! I treated them all equally! I even went the extra mile and dove to the caves to search for him as you had suggested, Rin!" Sousuke exclaimed, irritated – something that didn’t happen too often.

"That's because he wasn't in the town for at least a couple hours before the storm and Makoto said he was going to the caves from time to time to calm down or whatever…" He explained calmly, bowing his head.

Sousuke furrowed his brows at his friend. Looking at Rin like that, he felt cornered. Both guilty and betrayed. And right out powerless. "So you send me out there based on what Tachibana told you? Then it's even more possible that he just up and left. He did appeared out of nowhere in this town after all. He could have just leave—"

"You were also out of town…" Rin’s firm voice echoed sharp throughout the small back-office.

These words rang as clear and heavy as the howling sirens of the towns’ port in Sousuke's’ mind —

"What?" He manage, his lips taut in a grim line.

"When we got the report at the station, about fifteen minutes before the storm; I came here to ask you to prepare a rescue boat. You weren't here; the shop was closed and the only one to have seen you was Mizumi as you left it, approximately two hours prior to the event— just at the time that Haru was last seen. I'm not implying anything but… where have you been those two hours, Sousuke?" Rin slowly looked up again; piercing empty and far away teal eyes with his own unwavering ones – that spoke volumes of his concerns for his friend but also how full of determination he truly was – in an attempt to salvage the whole truth.

"Heh— 'you're not implying anything'. Is that so?" He scoffed bitterly.

–––––

At that moment in the fire station at the outskirts of the small fish town.

"Ne, ne, Mako-chan, will you come with me and Rei-chan to the beach this afternoon?" A gleeful voice bubbled in the air in the kitchen of the station.

"Eh? Ah— I'm sorry but there are some things I have to take care of today. Maybe tomorrow?" Makoto said sweetly with a smile, closing the fridge; a carton of milk in his hand.

"Eeeh~ all you say these days is that you have things to take care of, Mako-chaaan. You promised that we'd go swimming when the weather got better and the weather is supper these days but you're still saying 'no'! Are you avoiding me? Ah! Could it be you're avoiding Rei-chan?! If so then that's not a good thing to—" The energetic blonde was furrowing and puffing his cheeks at him, but—

"N–no! I'm not avoiding either one of you! I just had something that came up this week and I can't go right now, ok? Nagisa?" He said and his voice sweetened just a bit.

Still, Nagisa was too perceptive for Makoto's good.

He tilted his head as he looked at him with a quizzical stare. He said: "You know Mako-chan, lately you seem very happy for some reason… Ah! I know! Mako-chan, you got a girlfriend!" He beamed; a gleam of triumph sparkling in his eyes.

He was so loud, that all the firemen in this room turned to look at them with awe and those in the next came running in, not knowing what had happened.

"No! Shh—" Makoto attempt, blushing furiously; ready to explode.

'Mako-chan… he was hiding something though. For days now!' Nagisa thought, looking up at his relaxed disposition. Something that made this whole ordeal worth it. Something that made him, happy.

"Say, Mako-chan— if it's not a girlfriend, then why are you so happy these past few days?" Nagisa asked him quietly.

Maybe it was the way he said it, because Makoto froze. He turned surprised to face Nagisa and after a long moment, his face morphed again, a small but gentle smile curving the line of his lips. "Actually," he started, "I found something I thought I had lost forever…" He said and his eyes moved with overwhelming emotion.

"Eh? Found— something lost?" Nagisa repeated questioningly, eyes wide in wonder.

"Hm," Makoto nodded. "You see— I found it on Monday, as I got home from work…"

Ichigo is special, he's always been. From the moment he managed to become a Soul reaper, to when he obtained unlikely powers and achieved inhuman deeds, he's always had that natural talent to go beyond the limits. However, his true strength lies not in his latent abilities, but in the charm he wasn't even aware he had. His ultimate power was not his bankai, nor his hollowfication; it was his power to move people's hearts, sway them towards him, and somehow make those who wanted to kill him become his most loyal allies. Or, instead of merely befriending everyone he fought, Ichigo unknowingly builds an army of people who will die for him and change destiny itself in order to protect their one, true king.

The group had settled on blankets by the bay as the fireworks went off in the distance, the booms, cracks, and sparkles of them could be heard clearly. As they all watched, they got close to each other and kept warm on their shared blankets, friends, or couples, they didn’t care. Grimmjow and Ichigo, Chad and Orihime, Renji and Rukia, Mizuiro and Keigo shared their blankets as pairs, but Uryuu and Tatsuki had their own little spots on their blankets.

They had traveled to America for the school year as transfer students in South Texas and this was the first time that they had seen fireworks like this outside of the tv, and they were the best experience that they have had since being there, thus far. Grimmjow, Keigo, Rukia, and Renji were off in the distance cheering while their partners and friends smiled and watched them as the finale of the fireworks were going off on the boardwalk.

After the fireworks ended, they all picked up their blankets and bags of used small sparklers and party poppers that they had bought beforehand from the Kroger that was close to their host parents’ houses the day before.

in the ura + ichi time travel au kaien was (understandably) concerned that ichigo suddenly started hanging out with kisuke. what would kaien's opinion of ichigo and aizen hanging out be, though? since aizen was a generally well liked person back then and all that. would kaien see aizen as a good influence on ichigo or do you think he would be more reserved about it?

…I accidentally shoehorned Shinji into this whoops.

Anyway, you mean in the Aizen&Ichigo time travel verse right? Hmm well I know I dropped several hints in SP of Kaien (and a few others) knowing that there was something not-good up with Aizen, but canonically speaking, literally nobody except Shinji ever suspected him, so I think in this verse, I’m going to go with Kaien being one of the many who think that Aizen is just a reliable Shinigami and a generally upstanding guy. He doesn’t hero-worship him like the younger/lower-ranking Shinigami but he respects Aizen as a fellow lieutenant and the Fifth was really lucky to manage nabbing him for their squad.

So here, Kaien couldn’t prevent Ichigo from joining the Twelfth under that Very Suspicious Character Urahara (and he soon learns the impossibility that is trying to prevent Ichigo from doing anything he sets his mind to), so he’s relieved when word gets around that even after graduation, Ichigo still spends time with that Fifth Division lieutenant/part-time teacher because it means he has some regular Good Influence in his life. The Soul King knows Ichigo doesn’t spend much time with anyone else, doesn’t seem to have any close friends from his year in the Academy either or even just squadmates he can grab drinks with, so Kaien’s glad his cousin has at least one person he seems to like enough to hang out with, even if a friendship between a fresh graduate and a lieutenant is rather odd. Aizen doesn’t seem to mind either, which is also a bit of a shock because for all that the man has a reputation for helping students and subordinates alike, Kaien’s never heard of him spending time outside of work and teaching spars and classes with one. And as far as Kaien knows, he doesn’t think Aizen has any friends he hangs out with either. He’s polite and relatively friendly when he speaks to any of his colleagues, but it’s always work work work for that man. Kaien doesn’t know how he does it.

Still, he appreciates the time Aizen is taking out of his schedule these days to meet up with Ichigo for meals. On occasion, they can even be seen walking together back to their respective divisions. It’s odd, but it’s also pretty clear they’re friends, and so of course, when New Year’s swings around, Kaien wastes no time extending an invitation to Aizen as well to attend the Shibas’ annual celebrations.

He’s not surprised when Aizen - politely - turns him down. He seems that kind of guy. So Kaien moves on to Plan B - he goes to Ichigo, expounds on the elaborate festivities that will be taking place at the party, waxes poetic about how disappointed everyone will be if Ichigo can’t come, and then drops an offhand mention of how he’d tried to invite Ichigo’s friend Aizen too just so Ichigo would have someone he knew with him, not to mention Aizen doesn’t seem to have anyone to celebrate with anyway, but the lieutenant had turned him down.

Ichigo is fuming and scowling and looks about two seconds away from depriving the Thirteenth of their lieutenant, and Kaien very carefully does not show his glee as Ichigo shouts, “We’re not friends!”, looking appalled for some reason, before storming off, and Kaien can feel his reiatsu signature heading directly for the Fifth Division compound.

Mission accomplished.

(“And I should attend this function with you because…?” Aizen enquires, raising a delicately skeptical eyebrow.

Ichigo glowers at everything. “Well I’m not going alone. Kaien said they’re gonna be partying all night. I’m not suffering through that on my own!”

“Then turn the invitation down.”

“I can’t do that! Kuukaku apparently already told everyone I’ll be going, and Kaien said the kids are all looking forward to meeting me properly!”

Aizen’s other eyebrow joins his first, and he could not look more judgemental if he tried. “That still does not explain why I have to go. The fact that you are a pushover for small children is entirely your own fault.”

Ichigo reminds himself that he cannot actually reach across the table and strangle the bastard, no matter how much he wants to. He tries changing tactics instead. “Come on, it’s not like you have anything to do anyway-”

“On the contrary, I have a new book I wish to-”

“-and Kaien told me he invited you too so obviously you’ll also be expected to show up, and I’m not gonna quit badgering you about it until you agree!”

Aizen’s brow crinkles ever so slightly at the mention of Kaien. “Hm, well-played,” He murmurs, but before Ichigo can ask what he means, he continues smoothly, “I have already turned him down, so your argument is invalid. No one will be expecting me, and even if they will be, unlike you,” He beams like the super creepy virtuous Shinigami almost everyone thinks he is, which never fails to make Ichigo cringe. “I do not care in the slightest.”

Ichigo twitches before crossing his arms so that he’s less tempted to do something rash. “Well too bad! You still owe me for being evil and stalker-y, so suck it up and pick out a nice outfit because you’re going even if I have to drag you there!”

Aizen sighs long-sufferingly. “Exactly how long do you plan on trying to hold that over my head, Ichigo-kun?”

“Forever,” Ichigo retorts. “Now are you coming or are we gonna throw down over this?”

Aizen levels a flat look on him. Ichigo glares back. The two of them remain in stubborn silence for several minutes, and eventually it’s Ichigo who cracks because Aizen is a heartless monster with unrepentant stalker tendencies.

“Fine,” Ichigo huffs. “How ‘bout I show you a reishi trick I figured out recently?” Something like interest sparks in Aizen’s eyes. So predicable. “I’ve been experimenting. It’s not something I ever saw Yhwach or any of his minions do, or even Ishida or his dad, so it’s probably not something you know. But only if you come with me to the party. I’ll show you afterewards.”

Aizen watches him for a moment longer before a smirk curls at one corner of his mouth. “You’re learning.” Then he sighs, way too dramatically in Ichigo’s opinion. “Very well, but if it is something I already know, then you’ll owe me three months of manual labour in the form of paperwork. Agreed?”

Ichigo makes a face. “What? No way! One month at most.”

“Two.”

“One and one week and no more, asshole. I swear to god I am not above kicking your extortioning ass across Seireitei if you try to up that! Besides, I’m pretty sure you don’t know what I’ll be showing you anyway so it’s a pointless bargain.”

Aizen looks amused now. “Then it should hardly matter.”

Ichigo scowls. “It’s the principle of the matter. Well?”

Aizen inclines his head. “I agree to these terms. What time is this celebration?”

Ichigo grins, triumphant.)

Kaien cackles like a supervillain when he gets - very grudging - confirmation that both Ichigo and Aizen would be attending the New Year celebrations at the Shiba compound.

Fast forward a few weeks and Shinji narrowly avoids spraying tea all over Ukitake when Kaien strides back in to the dining hall and announces his cousin and Aizen Sousuke’s presence, both of whom enter behind the clan head, one with a scowl, the other with a cordial smile. They get seated between Kaien and Kuukaku, across from Shinji, Kyouraku, and Ukitake, and for a moment, Shinji’s gaze meet his lieutenant’s.

“Good evening, Taichou,” Aizen greets him, mild as milk, but even though his expression is perfectly calm, there’s something about it anyway that makes Shinji think he’s probably laughing on the inside.

“Sou-chan, what a surprise,” Shinji sighs and goes about refilling his cup. He needs way more sake than what’s on the table to survive the rest of this night.

They don’t really talk for the rest of the party. They’ve never really had casual conversations before. Even Shinji’s regular teasing when it comes to Aizen is at least partly to try and get a rise out of his frustratingly secretive lieutenant. And as long as Shinji’s known him, Aizen’s never really been one for celebrations. He attends captain/lieutenant functions when it’s required of him, and even then he only stays just long enough that it wouldn’t be rude when he excuses himself. He never goes out for drinks or meals, and he definitely never goes out with anyone just for fun.

Until Shiba Ichigo of course. Shinji still doesn’t know how those two work.

But, he soon realizes, the party is a perfect excuse to subtly observe them in a public setting, and that brightens his mood exponentially.

And what he observes…

It’s… odd, their interactions, which Shinji already knew from glimpses of them at the Fifth. But that was a work setting, and this isn’t, and that apparently makes a lot of difference. Or maybe it’s just that they’ve gotten closer since the last time Shinji saw them.

Even at the more casual captain/lieutenant get-togethers, Shinji recalls, Aizen stayed on the sidelines, in the background. He spoke when spoken to, and he kept any conversation going effortlessly, never dominating and always making the other party feel like he was interested in whatever topic they’d struck up even though Shinji is certain that couldn’t be farther from the truth. But he never really engaged other people of his own volition, and no matter how polite, it always felt - at least to Shinji - that he couldn’t wait to leave and get away from the annoyances that kept him from attending to whatever it was he was doing behind Shinji’s back.

He doesn’t do that here, doesn’t stay on the outside. Or rather, Ichigo won’t let him. When Kaien drags Ichigo into a conversation, Ichigo drags Aizen right along wtih him, and that wouldn’t be so jarring, but then some of the younger Shiba children shyly sidle up and ask to play tag with their newest cousin, and Ichigo folds like wet paper and agrees, but he also invites Aizen, who protests and is promptly ignored, and Shinji is treated to the mind-boggling sight of Aizen awkwardly - as awkward as Shinji’s ever seen him - playing tag with a bunch of children.

Surely he’s woken up in a parallel universe without realizing earlier?

Then there’s the fireworks display, and Ichigo drags Aizen off to show him how to set off a bunch of them. There’s desserts passed around, and Ichigo looks positively mournful when he’s too slow to get any of the kagami mochi before they’re all gone. Shinji almost chokes on his own taiyaki when Aizen visibly smirks at Ichigo, even taunting the kid with his own dessert, but after a round of mocking and scowl-pouting, the man also sighs before shoving his own plate of mochi at Ichigo and snags Ichigo’s leftover dango instead. Ichigo immediately brightens, and although his scowl never leaves his face, he somehow looks years younger with how ridiculously happy he is about a simple dessert.

And when even Aizen looks like he can’t take anymore socializing after the twelfth time someone accosts him for chitchat, Ichigo whisks him off somewhere, and Shinji doesn’t see them again until he catches their silhouettes on the roof as the night sky lights up with Kuukaku’s personal fireworks finale.

It’s… odd. Shinji can’t really find any other word for it, and by the time he takes his leave, the interactions he’s seen weigh on him more than he’s comfortable with.

These days, it feels like the Aizen Sousuke he’s always known was a completely different man from this one. Then of course, when he’s not interacting with Ichigo, he’s exactly like the man Shinji’s always known - polite and friendly and so utterly fake that it makes Shinji wonder if his colleagues are all brain-dead for not noticing.

Aizen looks at the world like he’s above it all, or maybe like he’s simply indifferent to everything, Shinigami and the Gotei and Soul Society alike.

But he looks at Ichigo like he’s actually seeing a person, and that perhaps is the biggest reason why Shinji cannot reconcile the two versions of his lieutenant.

He’s never known Aizen Sousuke to care about anyone. And Shinji’s not certain what to do about it now that he does.

Unbeknownst to Shinji, Kaien observes them too, and unlike Shinji, he likes what he sees. It’s odd, yes - Shinigami fresh out of school and even just lower-ranked ones in general simply don’t interact with their higher-ups in so familiar a manner. But Ichigo’s always been odd all on his own, and they’re not even part of the same division so nobody can call favouritism anyway, and so long as Ichigo’s fine with it, that’s all Kaien cares about.

He sees everything Shinji does tonight, and it lifts a weight from his shoulders. He’d been worried about his long-lost cousin, uncomfortable amongst family, and too strong to make friends easily at the Academy. Depending on Urahara to look out for his newest subordinate is laughable at best, and Kaien knows better than anyone that Shibas aren’t meant to be isolated. Ichigo’s introverted and a private person in general, but he’s not so different when it comes down to it. At the very least, he doesn’t seem as stressed compared to the first several months he first came into Kaien’s life, and Kaien doesn’t think he’s wrong when he contributes part of that to the Fifth Division lieutenant.

And Aizen too… well, it’s harder to tell with him. But he treats Ichigo like a friend, occasionally indulgent in a way that’s actually not unlike the way Kaien would treat a younger sibling himself, and that’s something Kaien’s never seen Aizen do with anyone else. Sure, he indulges students when they want his attention, and lower-ranked Shinigami when they want his advice, but there’s always a line in the sand with them, one he never toes. He makes himself approachable and likeable with them, and half of them go away nursing crushes.

He’s not like that with Ichigo. He doesn’t make himself anything, as far as Kaien can see. No gentle smiles anywhere. Mostly just smirks that borderline nasty, but flashes of exasperated fondness too. He’s just himself, and Ichigo takes it in stride, and maybe that’s why they’re friends.

It’s odd. But Kaien can’t complain when Ichigo’s happier these days, and he makes a mental note himself to catch Aizen later and tell him he’s welcome back to the Shiba compound anytime.

Grand Fisher [part 3 alternate version]

a/n: the version of Fisher part 3 Without the suicide references for whoever wants/needs it. (i know not everybodys cool with that so here’s the lighter/safer version if you don’t wanna read that)

the original fic can be found on fanfiction.net HERE and on ao3 HERE.

As Aizen wandered deeper into the forest, he noticed the trees grew denser and the floor even more uneven beneath his feet.

The woods seemed to feel more isolating, too, the further in he went. In the distance above him, he could see birds perched on high branches. Hear them singing. So he knew this area was relatively safe. He caught a glimpse of a squirrel scampering up a tree out of his way. A little while later he startled a red fox and watched it dart off into the trees, and he couldn't help but smile and think of Cherry. And his Tsuku back at home waiting for him.

This place is so serene. So tranquil. Beautiful, even, he thought. You really get the feeling you're completely alone in the world. That there isn't another human soul around for miles...

You feel so isolated. From everything. From everyone. It's like if how I felt all these years was a place.

He ventured further into the forests arms and entered a grove of trees, enjoying the peace the forest seemed to provide... until he encountered the first dead body and the illusion shattered.

The boy was no more than sixteen years old at the most. Dead for who knew how long. So much life. So much potential... wasted. Sousuke felt sick. Somewhere, the boy's family – by blood or by choice - would be mourning for him. Somewhere, maybe, his girlfriend or maybe a boyfriend was waiting for him to call. Somewhere, perhaps, a cat or a dog would be waiting for him to come home.

Well, he thought, swallowing. At least I know why we were sent here now.

He looked around at his once peaceful surroundings. Feeling only a sense of melancholy and dread now. How many other bodies were there in this forest?

Frankly just one was too many.

He took a deep breath and tried to ground himself. Hoping to every god Gin hadn't found a similar circumstance. Even though the odds of that happening were slim, and the gods were deaf to such pleas.

Sousuke looked at the boy and it really looked like he could be sleeping. Except he wasn't, and he felt a pang of sadness. Rigor mortis hadn't even set in yet, so he really hadn't been dead that long. Hours at most.

You can't save everyone, Kyouka said softly. Sadly.

I know, he answered. The world is too cruel to let me. All I can hope for is to keep the few people I actually care about safe.

He looked up when he heard the twig snap, and saw the soul of the dead boy – who looked eerily similar to him. Only the lad's hair was short and straight, and his face was ore rounded. Otherwise, right down to the spectacles, he could've been looking into a mirror at his past self.

He forced his features into a smile. He did have a job to do. “Ah, hello there.”

“Oh,” the boy gasped, “Y-you can see me.”

“Yes,” Sousuke said gently, “I can.”

He stepped closer to the boy. Be tactful, Kyouka reminded him. “I'm here to help you pass on.”

The boy smiled sadly. “So I'm really dead, huh?” he said quietly.

Cold guilt gnawed at his stomach, it was too late to make any difference at all. He wasn't a god. He couldn't resurrect the dead. He was no-one. Nobody. Nothing.

Useless, pathetic, weak.

He shook off the thoughts. It is what it is. Now we just have to deal with it.

But maybe he could make a difference in the boy's next life. Besides, they were alone, there was no-one around for miles. And in all likelihood he'd never see the kid again. So why not? Why not try to make a difference?

“Yes,” he answered. “ But I'm here to help you pass on to a different place. A different life.”

The boy looked down. “I waited so long. All night. But nobody came. I wish I had someone to care about me. Who cared enough to come and look for me while I was alive.”

“You will.” Sousuke said. “Where you're going, you can start fresh. You'll find someone.”

“And where am I going?” the boy asked, skeptical. Of course he'd be skeptical. He was a human.

Much like you, the voice cut in, loathe though you are to admit it.

He ignored it.

“A peaceful place,” he answered the boy. “Well, mostly peaceful anyway.”

He watched the boy sigh in relief. “That's good.”

Sousuke nodded and smiled. He was expecting to be sent to the other place.

“Yes, it is,” he said. And you'll forget your old life entirely, so it really will be like starting over. “Come on, let's get you moving,” he said, drawing his zanpaktou. “Keep still now and I'll perform the ritual that'll move your sou onto the next world.”

“Y-you're not going to cut me with that, are you?”

“No. I'm just going to touch your forehead with the hilt.”

“Oh. Alright then.”

Sousuke stepped towards the boy's soul and smiled. “You ready?”

“Yes.”

“Alright,” he said. “Just close your eyes and it'll be done before you know it.”

He watched the boy close his eyes and take a deep breath as he performed the konso. The soul burial. Sending his soul to the afterlife in a glow of white light.

After he'd performed the konso, he looked around, sighing in relief that no-one else had appeared to watch. He moved to walk away, to venture deeper into the forest – and that's when it hit him in the back of the head. Smashing him with a great deal of force against a tree.

Free! Headcannon: ‘Rin’s American Friend’ (a.k.a don’t give a paintball gun to an american.)

A/N: This is what it’s like to play paintball w/ a trigger-happy-gun-loving-American. Style 5 + Ai, Momo, & Sousuke.

(Note: I’m using Jane Doe instead of s/o b/c I feel like the use of s/o takes readers out of the story & also it’s what unidentified bodies are called in the morgue.)

Rin Matsuoka:

Rin is 1000% done w/ this sh*t. (=_=)

He knew this was a bad idea. He knew it! But that didn’t stop the others from plowing right on ahead.

The second one of the guys suggested paintball her eyes started to sparkle & a scary smile stretched across her face. It was the kind of smile Rin had only seen when she was about to deliver a well-deserved-can-of-whoop-a**. & he just knew this was a bad idea. 

But no one listened to him. Not a single one of his friends headed his suggestion “like hey maybe it’s not the best idea to give a paintball gun to a gun-loving American...” & now they were all reaping the consequences.

(more under the cut...)

Jane Doe was a monster on the course. It wouldn’t have been half as bad if Jane was just a trigger-happy-moron who had never fired a gun in her life & had terrible aim. But no. Rin knew that Jane used to shoot skeet w/ her dad on the weekends (probably still does.) & that meant that her aim was on point. 

That didn’t make her any less of a doofus, though. She was just a idiot w/ excellent aim. Throughout the game she kept laughing maniacally like one of those old James Bond Villains & shouting out lines from American action flicks. But she kept mixing them up so none of it made any sense.

“Say hello to...THE CHIMICHANGAS!!!” “YIPPIE KAY-YAY...YA FILTHY ANIMALS!!!” “Who ordered the whoop-ass fajitas?!” “Merry Christmas MOTHERF***!!!”

“IT’S NOT CHRISTMAS, JANE!”

~Oh, lord give him patience. How did he get such an idiot for a friend?~

 It was fortunate for him that he had wound up on the same team as Jane b/c he sure as hell didn’t want to trade places w/ Sousuke right now.

(Sousuke had been pinned down for the last 5 min while Jane fired like a ba-sh*t-llion of paint balls at the tree he was shielding himself w/.)

But just b/c Rin was on the same team didn’t mean he wasn’t the victim of friendly-fire. 

“F*ck. Jane, I’m on your team!” 

“Sorry, Rin!” 

He was basically trying to stay out of her way & not get hit w/ anymore stray paint balls. But that didn’t stop him from shouting out at her when she did or said something particularly moronic.

“Look north, Makoto!”

“You’re standing east, Dumba**!”

Haruka Nanase:

Worst.teammate.ever. He was like zero help in this situation. 

Like Rin, he had been lucky w/ the odd number of players & got stuck on the same team as Jane. But he hadn’t lifted a finger to help Rin take down the other teams.

You know how you have those people who just sit on the sidelines w/ a lawn chair & a bowl of popcorn & watch the world burn? Well that’s Haru in this mess. Except he’s not sitting on a lawn chair, he’s crouching behind a wooden wall, & he’s not eating popcorn, he’s munching on dried pineapple slices that Jane had given him.

He probably just didn’t want to get slaughtered when he stepped out from behind that wall. So he stays back & guards the fort.

~“What fort? That’s a wall, Haru! Get out here and help me!!!” Rin yells at him from the other side of the course.~

He spends the majority of the game watching Jane. Images of that kiss still running through his mind. He may have started to develop a little bit of a crush...

BUT SHE’S TOTALLY INSANE!!!!

Haru is a little scared of her to be honest. & w/ good reason as she just eliminated Rei while taking a flying leap off a 9 foot wall.

But then she stops & blows him a kiss... ~ <3

~“Gross! Jane, stop flirting with my friends!”~ 

(Rin is beyond disgusted by her PDA towards Haru.)

Sousuke Yamazaki:

~“Someone help me!!!! F*ck!!!”~

He’s in some serious trouble. Like he is 100 miles up sh*t creek without a canoe. Where the hell is Makoto?!

Sousuke was on the team w/ Iwatobi’s swim captain, but he couldn’t find the other boy after the first wave of paint balls. Which means he’s on his own trying to pull a John McClane & not get shot. But he’s battling against the freaking Terminator.

If he wasn’t so panicked right now, he’d probably be impressed by how accurate Jane’s aim was. B/c dang does that girl knows how to shoot! She’d be totally boss at the shooter games at the summer festivals.

But right now Sousuke’s huddled behind a tree after Jane got the upper hand in their standoff. Maybe he should just surrender...

~“I’ll take no survivors! Mhuhahahahaha!!!”~

Or not. (-_-)

 Rei Ryugazaki:

He was taken out within the first minute of the game. He had wanted to devise a plan that would take into account the physical terrain of the course along w/ the wind speed & wind’s direction...

But while he was calculating all the math. Jane had been able to sneak up on him. 

He still didn’t know where Ai-chan-san went though. Maybe if he had been there Rei would’ve been able to put the plan into motion, however the white-haired boy was strangely missing (hiding).

Later Rei was beyond grateful that he was the first to be eliminated b/c it was after that that Jane became this force to be reckoned w/. & like everyone else she scared him sh*tless. 

He spent the rest of the game sitting w/ Haru-sempai & eating dried pineapple.

Makoto Tachibana & Aiichirou Nitori:

(o-o) !

(O_O) !!

\(>u<)/ !!! “SAVE US FROM THE SCARY AMERICAN!!!!!”

These two guys were immediately regretting every life decision that led to this moment. Had they known this is what Rin was talking about when he said it was a bad idea, they would’ve never had agreed to play.

The second the paint balls started flying they both hit the the ground & army-crawled to where they thought would be safest. 

It just so happened that they both thought the safest place was behind a monstrous old tire. But the tire wasn’t big enough to hide them both.

“I was here first. You move.” 

They played a round of rock-paper-scissors to who decide who would get to keep the spot. ~they both played paper~

Then a paint ball came whizzing past & Makoto barely managed to tackle Nitori out of the way before hit him. It was then decided that safest option would be to get to where Rei and Haru were at. 

(That spot seemed to have become the designated safety zone.)

~“Look north, Makoto!”~

OH SH*T!!!

“Nitori-kun run, I’ll distract her while you make a break for it!”

“Sempai...”

“Go now! Hurry!”

~“I won’t forget your sacrifice, Sempai!!!” Nitori cried as he made a mad dash across the open field.~ 

Nitori ran like his life depended on it & ducked behind some barrels. Heavy footsteps started to approach from his right. This was it --he adjusted the gun in his hands & took a deep breath. 1. 2. 3...

“Wait, Nitori-kun...!” 

Makoto tried to stop him before the younger boy unleashed a wave of paint balls. But Nitori had already pressed his fingers down on the trigger & was firing paint balls every which way as he screamed at the top of his lungs.

(This was the end to Makoto & Rin. The latter of which got hit by one of the stray paint balls.)

Jane shot Nitori seconds later.

Nagisa Hazuki & Momotarou Mikoshiba:

These two idiots had started this mess.

It was their idea to go to a paintball arena. It was them who convinced the others not to listen to Rin. They were to blame.

Not that they honestly cared, though. These two were having the time of their lives as they reenacted the last stand of Alamo. If they were going to go down they were going to go down fighting.

Amazingly enough they weren’t picked off within the first 10 minutes like everyone else. But instead retreated to tower-like structure to wait while Jane picked off everyone else on the field. 

What ensues is pure chaos & hilarity for the others watching from the safety zone. Nagisa & Momo are just as trigger happy as Jane. But their aim wasn’t nearly as good.

So their brilliant idea? That’s to charge out at the same time & fire a cr*pload of paint balls in her general direction while yelling at the top of their lungs. 

Jane of course fires two shots & hits both of them, but not before Momo trips on his shoelace, thus knocking down Nagisa & Nagisa’s gun accidentally discharges & that last paint ball hits Jane square in the chest. 

The way things worked out all three were eliminated at the same time leaving only Haru the only one unscathed. 

~“But he didn’t even do anything!” Rin sulks.~

Floating, Fading, a Tiny Spark

prompt: rin and haru as witches! bonus: they have cats or can turn into cats

@elena-of-time

“Haru!”

The door to the small cottage slams open as Rin stalks inside. He unlaces his boots, yanking his feet free, tossing the sodden footwear carelessly to the side. One sharp heel clatters against the metal coat rack with a resounding clang. Haru appears in the hallway, Rin’s black familiar nervously weaving around Haru’s bare ankles, tail puffed and twitching. They stare at Rin as though he’s lost his mind. On another day, he might humor both Haru and Sousuke, lowering his voice and apologizing for throwing his boots and creating a ruckus.

“What is it, Rin?” Challenge laces Haru’s tone, fists firmly clenched by his side. Rin eyes him cautiously, irritation diffusing as quickly as it had risen once he takes a moment to really see Haru and the air pulsing around him. The aura that usually surrounds his partner in business and in life a calm deep blue, ebbing and flowing around him like the ocean tides. At times, it lightens, practically glowing, when Rin’s own radiant joy infuses itself into Haru, bringing rays of orange and red fire streaking through the rippling air.

As Rin studies Haru’s aura, he forgets about his soaked socks, his chilled feet, and the unexpected lake he had to wade through once he passed through the gate onto their cozy property. He takes a step towards Haru, tentatively, followed by another one, hands up in a pacifying gesture, until he is directly in front of Haru. Sousuke stands between them, guarding Haru from Rin’s previous display of anger. Rin scoffs and nudges the cat out of the way with his foot, earning a soft hiss, though Sousuke moves aside slightly.

Rin grasps Haru’s hands, thumbs pressed firmly into his wrists as he attempts to read what’s ailing the other witch. Magic thrums under his thumbs, sluggishly, as though it actively attempts to hide from Rin’s assessment. “What happened today?”

Haru averts his gaze, wrenching his head to the side to stare at the wall.

Rin gives a light squeeze to Haru’s hands. “You can tell me.”

“I still can’t control it.” Haru’s voice is tight with stress and disappointment. “I don’t know what’s happening to me.”

“But you said-”

“I know what I said!” Haru roars, uncharacteristic and at odds with his steady demeanor. “I can’t fix this. Why is my magic so weak? Why isn’t it free anymore?”

Rin’s eyes tingle with shared frustration, except he can’t cry right now, not when Haru is the one dealing with magic deviation. He moves his hands up to Haru’s shoulders, this gesture hopefully interpreted as more supportive, more calming.

“Can I…will you let me try and help you?” Rin feels overly cautious, usually jumping into anything with both feet and then some, but he desperately longs to be of assistance, especially because this is Haru. He can’t sit by doing nothing as his partner’s magic grows weaker and more unpredictable by the day.

Haru scowls, though his posture uncoils a little, and the near-black cloud surrounding him brightens enough for Rin to read easily, allowing him to detect traces of the innate, beautiful azure that engulfs Haru.

“Haru. Please.” Rin’s chest is heavy, a band sitting across his lungs as he watches the myriad of negative expressions play across Haru’s face, each one more painful than the last. Finally, his eyes sharpen, the blue practically glowing as he schools his features into something fierce, something determined.

Haru takes a deep breath, one that Rin perceives not only in the hands still resting on his partner’s body, but inside him, as he sees the fire rekindle inside the stubborn, black-haired witch. He slips his fingers inside Haru’s shirt, pulling aside his collar as he trails his hand lower, until it rests directly over the other man’s core. The magic is there, fluttering under his palm, struggling to break free and be released from where Haru desperately restrains it, battling back its current chaotic state.

Rin guides Haru over to the couch, laying him down and unbuttoning his shirt, while settling his own breathing into as relaxed a state as he can muster given the circumstances. He kneels on the floor, peeling off his damp socks.

Haru frowns. “I’m sorry. I was trying to gather water to do something simple. Kid stuff.”

Rin nods in understanding - if Haru cannot direct and shape water, he cannot utilize his magic for their business. Rin has been carrying their joint load for months now, ever since Haru’s magic started deviating and his reliability as a Healer began to plummet. However, they are both aware that Rin lacks the capabilities of physical cures beyond herbal recommendations and simple tinctures. Rin heals auras through channeling his energy to restore spiritual balance and mental equilibrium, while Haru heals bodies by controlling the very life blood within. Together they can solve almost any malady of the mind, body, or soul that crosses their path. Alone, Rin is sinking.

“I couldn’t even conjure rain.” Haru whispers, shame coloring his face with an ashen pallor. “I could do that when I was seven years old.”

Rin hums, rocking forward on his knees, laying one palm flat on Haru’s abdomen, the other smoothing black hair off his forehead. He gazes into blue eyes, swirling endless depths, turbulent and dark, like the sea after a storm.

Haru blinks in confusion. “There was nothing, no matter how hard I focused or urged my magic up towards the surface, I called for it with everything I had. And then it snapped, it started thunderstorming, right in front of me, and the rain only stopped because I almost drained myself.”

The air hitches in Rin’s throat, lungs burning and heart aching when he pictures Haru passing out, alone, cold, and frustrated in an unwanted pool of water outside their front door. He has never been so grateful for natural protection from their own power, each witch’s core shutting the body down before it can consume itself entirely. It can be overridden, however it is dangerous and only possible under extreme emotional duress. He forces himself to relax when Haru flinches from how hard he pushes his hand down on his partner’s body.

“I’m sorry, Haru. I’m so sorry, I should have been here, I shouldn’t be seeing patients when you aren’t able to be at our practice. I should have been here, healing you, helping you. I saw it, saw what was going in, but I thought…I didn’t. Haru. I'm…” Rin finally stops babbling out his scattered apologies when Haru rests a cool hand atop his, their joined hands rising and falling gently with Haru’s slow, stable breathing. Rin shakes his head, and attempts to match the rhythm.

“It’s okay, Rin. I didn’t want you to know how bad it had gotten. I thought I could fix it.” Haru smiles softly at him, a slight quirk of his lips that shines like the sun.

Rin combs his fingers through Haru’s hair, willing the trembling to stop, before settling his palm back on the other witch’s forehead. He leans down, pressing a tender kiss to Haru’s mouth, coaxing him open, running his tongue along soft pink lips. He loses himself in Haru, breathing him in and flowing back out, a simple exchange of energy through means he doesn’t utilize in his professional life. As they connect together, he senses Haru’s core pulsing under his palm, expanding and growing with every throb of his own core that Rin shares.

Rin’s hand tingles as his magic escapes and enters Haru’s body, everything is so warm. His fingertips, his skin, his heart, his core - the longer the exchange goes on, the more Rin burns. He doesn’t care, he’ll give Haru everything if it will just fix him. All he longs for in this moment is Haru’s magical health. He senses himself shaking, something within him sputtering like a candle being snuffed out. He’s coming down. His head is heavy like lead and his vision fades at the edges. The fire is dying and it’s getting cooler.

Rin idly wonders how fog enters their cottage.

He’s cold.

His hands are numb but can still feel Haru’s energy surging underneath his skin.

It looks like it’s snowing inside…

Or maybe the white spots in his eyes are something else.

Rin reaches for his core, but his magic feels out of reach somehow. He should be concerned except he’s exhausted and cold and his eyes won’t stay open.

He’ll just rest for a minute, and then he can keep assisting Haru, finish balancing his spiritual energy.

Rin fades out, curling in on the void within him, accepting the darkness as it opens its gaping mouth and swallows him.

Rin is floating, fading, and so cold. He sinks into it, his mind empty, pulling him down into the swirling depths. Up above him he sees a tiny spark - though it’s small, it’s stunning and bright, and he can’t help but stare at its brilliance. Like the sun breaking through storm clouds, the light steadily grows as Rin rises to meet it. He’s tired, yet he is compelled to follow this shining beckoning energy above him, warm and comforting, like home, like life. It’s blue and it soothes him, undulating around him as he drifts towards it, until he is surrounded by a beautiful blue ocean, caressing him from the inside out. He’s awake, his mind alert, and he absorbs the water, allowing it to revive him as it washes away the haze and snow.

With a shuddering gasp, Rin’s eyes fly open as he breaches the surface and heaves for breath. His head feels as though it might float away and he clutches at it. He’s face down on top of Haru and so confused. Rin peers up at his partner, who is pale and trembling, yet looking healthier than before Rin collapsed. He glances to the side, the gleaming eyes of Sousuke watching him carefully, tail switching off the edge of the low table.

“How do you feel, Haru?” Rin’s throat is scratchy and dry, as though he hasn’t used his voice in hours or even days. “Did that help?”

Haru glares at him, equally horrified and proud. “I’m not worth burning out for. Don’t do that.”

“What?” Rin is lost, gazing helplessly at Haru, unsure when he became the one under scrutiny. He scrambles off Haru, except he’s unsteady and almost falls off the couch. Haru grabs his upper arms and maneuvers him securely between the cradle of his thighs, pulling Rin’s back flush against his chest. His embrace borders on too tight, but Rin settles back into it, tipping his head onto Haru’s sturdy shoulder.

“You pulled too much. You almost used all your magic Rin, you must have surged past the block. I’m not… you can’t do that.”

“I just wanted you healed, Haru.”

“Well I wasn’t sure if I was healed until I had to reach in and drag you back, and Sousuke helped ground me when I was getting frantic and struggling to control your blood, regulate your water. I almost couldn’t find you, Rin. Promise me you’ll never do that again.” Haru’s voice betrays him, words quivering with hurt and fear. Rin laces their fingers together where their hands rest over his heart.

“I wasn’t trying to do anything stupid,” counters Rin, though it’s weak. Sousuke hops into his lap, nudging his head against their clasped hands. Rin pets him mindlessly, regretful for frightening both his partner and his familiar, yet beyond grateful for them both. “I’ve never lost control like that Haru. I was so worried about you, I’ve been so worried about you, I didn’t know how to stop, I couldn’t tell it was too far. But you saved me.”

Haru runs his nose along Rin’s ear, light, tickling breaths shifting the loose strands of his hair. “We saved each other. Let’s never have to do that again.”

Rin swipes his thumb along the thin skin of Haru’s wrist, feeling the fluttering beat of his energy, the blue of Haru’s aura bright enough to engulf them both. He sighs. “Thank you, Haru.”

“Don’t thank me, just stay with me.”

“I will.” Rin closes his eyes, relaxing into the strength of Haru behind him, as a comforting wave of water flows through him and washes over him, cleansing him, nourishing him. “I love you, Haru.”

[cooliogirl101]

It's a shame Sayuri doesn't do dramatic reveals because I think her revealing the full extent of her powers when previously she did absolutely nothing would be fun. Does anyone--whether it be the Gotei 13 or the Vizards or Ichigo's gang--ever find out? Does anyone try to talk to her? Also, how do people know Sousuke respects Sayuri if Sayuri acts like his shadow? Do they banter in public or something? (their banter is one of my favourite things actually it's fun to see them interact)

“Care to share a drink?” A familiar voice asks cheerfully. 

“I’m not really one for alcohol,” Sayuri replies without looking up.

“Tea, then.” An expectant pause. “Interesting time you’ve chosen to sit down and read a book,” the voice continues, amused, when Sayuri doesn’t answer. “Don’t think I’ve seen anyone do that in the middle of a battlefield before.”

Sayuri glances up, just briefly, before returning to her book.

“Sousuke has his entertainment,” she says curtly, jerking her chin towards where Sousuke is currently battling several of the Espada. “I have mine.”

She receives a huff of laughter in reply. 

“Fair enough,” Kyouraku Shunsui says, smiling down at her. “Where are my manners? Allow me to introduce myself, my name is--”

“I know who you are, Kyouraku-taicho,” Sayuri interrupts, turning a page in her book.

“You have me at a disadvantage then,” Kyouraku says after a long pause, when it becomes clear she has no intention of continuing. “I’m afraid I can’t say the same of you. Odd, given that I’m well acquainted with your partner...or well, a version of him, I should say.”

“Who I am is unimportant. Sousuke is my....partner, as you put it. That’s all anyone needs to know,” Sayuri says blandly. 

“You love him,” Kyouraku states. It isn’t a question.

Sayuri’s lips quirk up almost imperceptibly. 

“More than you could imagine,” she confirms. Kyouraku studies her for another moment, then shakes his head, chuckling softly. 

“You’re quite the mystery, you know that?” He asks. 

“Hardly,” Sayuri replies. “I’ve already told you everything important about me. Everything else is just...details.”

“Oh? Care to share some of those details then?” Kyouraku asks genially, his casual smile almost-- but not quite-- hiding the sharp glint in his eyes. “I’d very much like to get to know the woman who chooses books over battle. I think we could be friends-- if you’ll let me, that is.” He smiles, eyes crinkling at the edges. “Maybe I’ll even change your mind about sake! I have some lovely bottles I’ve been saving, waiting for just the right opportunity.” 

Sayuri hums noncommittally. 

“If you expect me to open up to you, Kyouraku-taicho, you’ll have to do better than that,” she says. 

“What do you mean?” Kyouraku asks. 

Sayuri closes her book. 

“I mean, you don’t really care about the girl who chooses to read in the middle of a battlefield, you want to know about the woman Aizen Sousuke deemed worthy to stand by his side. But for that to happen, you’ll have to be more than a drunkard in a pink kimono, Kyouraku-taicho.” She stands up. “Don’t expect me to share my secrets if you’re not willing to share yours.” 

“And will you?” Kyouraku asks, standing up as well. “Share yours, I mean.” 

Sayuri tilts her head to the side. 

“I guess you’ll just have to wait and see, won’t you?” 

She pauses. 

“Oh, I almost forgot,” Sayuri adds, tone shifting. She reaches into her pocket, pulling out a small bag, then tosses it to Kyouraku. 

“What’s this?” He asks, catching it reflexively. 

“Candy.” At Kyouraku’s inquiring look, she elaborates, “We had a run in with Zaraki-taicho a few days ago. Kusajishi-fukutaicho was kind enough to keep me company while Sousuke...talked things over with Zaraki-taicho. I’d appreciate it if you could pass this on to her.” 

He looks down at the bag of candy in his hand. 

“If this is a ploy to gain my sympathy, it’s a very obvious one,” Kyouraku states, raising his eyebrows. 

“Yes, it would be,” Sayuri agrees, and for the first time, a hint of a genuine smile crosses her face. “Good night, Kyouraku-taicho.” 

He watches her walk off to join a different, happier version of Aizen Sousuke and smiles a little to himself. 

Honesty, huh? He can work with that. 

(idk I’ve just always liked writing Sayuri and Kyouraku’s relationship. As for how everyone knows Sousuke holds Sayuri in high regard-- well, Sayuri may choose to stay quiet most of the time but she’s not completely silent. And on the occasions she does choose to speak up, Sousuke’s default response is something along the lines of ‘shut up everyone, Sayuri is talking’. 

As for revealing her powers-- well, unlike Sousuke, she doesn’t plan for dramatic reveals. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen anyway lol)

#Anonymous #sayuri is basically like don't pretend like you trust me when we both know you don't #don't play the happy friendly drunk idiot when we both know you're more than that #she has a lot of patience but not when it comes to masks #not even sousuke is an exception to that #tlm!au #double trouble au

2nd Anniversary Special Story 3

Idolish7 2nd Anniversary Special Story

Chapter 3 - Exposed Answer

Yamato: …… Ah, TRIGGER’s back. How was it? Did you find a telephone?

Gaku: Nah, we didn’t... Look at this.

Mitsuki: What is this… a scratched LastDime CD!? It’s covered in blood too……

Gaku: Not just this. There were hand-shaped bloodstains on the refrigerator……

Tamaki: Gyaaaa---!! No more! I’m going home!!

Sougo: T-Tamaki-kun. Even if you wanted to, the door is locked.

Tamaki: Sou-chan, open it!! Don’t you have your screw driver!?

Sougo: It’s not like I always have it with me… I’ll start carrying it with me everywhere tomorrow on, in case something ever happens, okay?

Tamaki: I wanna go home! This place is scary!

Sougo: Tamaki-kun, everything will be alright!

Yuki: What an unpleasant underground room… One thing is certain though, a tragedy has occurred here.

Momo: Yeah… I feel like something terrible will happen.

Tamaki: Look--! Re:vale said it too!

Sougo: Uh, Re:vale-san… Could you stop scaring him?

Mitsuki: But, something’s definitely wrong here. I wonder what happened?

Nagi: Hm… Bloodstains on the floor… A mysterious locked room……

Nagi: Most likely, this place was a murder scene……

Tamaki: No!!

Nagi: The murderer locked all of us here and they’re wondering how to eliminate us, probably…?

Anesagi Kaoru: No way…! I wanna go home…!

Nagi: OH! Sorry. I made a lady worry. Are you OK? Miss Anesagi… Ouch!

Anesagi Kaoru: Wh, D-Don’t act so friendly and stop looking at me with that beautiful face! … But, I’m okay… I’m sorry… I’m not going to leave……

Yamato: Umm. Like you said, looking at the situation, the atmosphere is bad here. But, if a murder really happened here, where is the corpse?

Tamaki: Don’t say corpse or murder!!

Yamato: My bad… Uhh, I think a mur—… an incident didn’t take place here, but something else?

Mitsuki: By something else, you mean…?

Iori: An accident, maybe. Someone was hurt here, and they forgot to clean the bloodstains……

Yuki: No… A mur—… an incident definitely took place here.

Momo: We’re involved in something dangerous now……

Yamato: Thinking back to it, why does Re:vale make the situation worse!?

Mitsuki: He’s right! You two sound like you’re scaring us on purpose, it’s not like the usual Re:vale……

Yamato, Mitsuki: Gasp…!

Yamato: Don’t tell me… Someone planned a prank on us!?

Mitsuki: Is it a prank!?

Yuki: So, you finally realized. That’s right, Yamato-kun.

Mitsuki: That’s why you two tried to scare us, huh!?

Momo: That’s right, Mitsuki. We are professionals, we must keep the people here terrified to make it interesting……

Yamato, Mitsuki: I see, so that’s it…… 

Iori: What are you doing, Nii-san and Nikaido-san… Why are you glaring at Re:vale in silence…… (1)

Yamato: …… This place is a mur—… scene……

Mitsuki: Yeah, no doubt… We’re involved in something terrifying……

Iori: What’s with you two all of sudden!?

Tamaki: Sou-chan! Yama-san and Mikki said murder scene!!

Sougo: No, it’s fine, it’s fine! This is a comfy underground restaurant, look!

Yamato: A horribly scratched TRIGGER CD……

Mitsuki: This restaurant is most likely prepared by someone who resents TRIGGER……

Phantom: …… Exactly……

Riku: …… Someone just spoke from somewhere…! 

Yaotome Sousuke: Who is it!?

………………

Gaku: …! The sound is coming from the speaker!  (2)

Phantom: My name is Phantom. It’s up to me whether you live or die.

Phantom: You shall be frightened by the terror you will experience from here on out.

Ryuunosuke: …… What do you mean…!?

Re:vale: ……………..        

Yuki: …… That’s so cliché……

Momo: Too cliché… Hard to follow but, there’s no choice.

Momo: W-What…!? Keeping us locked here, Phantom, what exactly are you!?

Yuki: Calm down, Momo!

Momo: I can’t calm down, not now!

Riku: …… It’s okay! Re:vale-san, don’t be scared! I will ask him!

Riku: Phantom! You locked all of us here, what are you trying to do to us!?

Phantom: Fufufu… First, you shall watch this.

Ryuunosuke: A projector just turned on! …… The news…?

Tamaki: Aah!! I watched this! Didn’t we? Manager, Ban-chan!

Ogami Banri: That’s…! The news about the discontinued King Pudding! It was a mistake, and they corrected it immediately, right?

Sougo: What’s the meaning of this……

Phantom: That was my doing.

Tamaki: What!? You, did you have some sort of grudge against King Pudding!?

Phantom: I sneaked into the Master Control room, I can use the mass media however I like now.

Phantom: If you don’t listen to my saying, I will release breaking news, “A Meteor Will Fall on Japan In Seconds.”

Iori: Everyone in Japan will panic if you do that!

Phantom: You cannot escape from here. TRIGGER. You will participate in the following game I made.

Phantom: Let’s make this the worst party of your lives.

Yaotome Sousuke: …… What the hell is that… Anesagi, did you know anything about this!?

Anesagi Kaoru: I-I don’t know anything!

Tenn: …… What game? What do you want from us?

Phantom: You must give an answer to my question that will satisfy me.

Tenn: I got it. What’s the question?

Phantom: What is love?

TRIGGER: Love…?

IDOLiSH7: Love, you mean that love…?

Re:vale: Hey hey, that’s absurd.

Momo: I tried to act serious up till now but, don’t you know it will all be a waste if you make me laugh now?

Yuki: Well, it’s a question fans would like to hear, but… TRIGGER, have they realized that this is a prank?

Tenn: A prank…?

Gaku: Is this a prank…?

Ryuunosuke: If I can’t give an answer about love that will satisfy them, everyone in Japan will panic…!? What should I answer!?

Ryuunosuke: …… I have a question. Can we answer it more than once?

Phantom: Yeah… No problem…

Ryuunosuke: Is it only us who can answer?

Phantom: I don’t mind who answers it……

Ryuunosuke: I see! Okay, then, let’s answer it one by one! We may have the correct answer among us!

Ryuunosuke: Using the number in our names, let’s start from number one! Can we first start with Iori-kun?

Iori: Me!?

Tamaki: Iorin, what will you answer?

Yamato: Onii-san is curious now.

Riku: Me too!

Iori: I don’t care about that kind of thing. I’m not good with this kind of stuff.

Phantom: I’m curious too.

Tamaki: You hear that? Phantom said so too!

Iori: You are so persistent! Couldn’t you give us a proper question that shows our intelligence and pride!?

Phantom: You better not make me angry, or else I’ll set off the bomb I hid in the kitchen.

Iori: Bomb…!?

Yamato: Oi, oi, Phantom. A bomb is too much… This prank just got 70% worse.

Mitsuki: Iori is sharp… I can’t let him realize……

Iori: Can someone obtain a bomb that easily…? Something’s odd……

Mitsuki: Iori! You shouldn’t doubt him!

Iori: N-Nii-san……

Mitsuki: If what he said is true, all of Japan would be in panic, and we’ll all be caught in an explosion here!

Mitsuki: I don’t want you to face that danger! Let’s do what he says for now!

Iori: I-I understand… If Nii-san says so……

Yamato: Yeah. For an adolescent like Ichi, it may be embarrassing to talk about this, but you can say your honest expectations of what love is as a youngster here……

Iori: Nikaido-san! You said that to make it more embarrassing on purpose, didn’t you!?

Iori: *cough*… I understand. This is for Japan’s peace. It can’t be helped… Here’s my answer……

Iori: …… Love…… is……

Iori: Like…… a rabbit… in spring……

*boo boo!*

Phantom: I don’t get it.

Iori: What is that ‘boo boo!’ sound!? That was so rude!

Mitsuki: So, it’s a rabbit in spring~!

Riku: A rabbit in spring, huh~!

Iori: Don’t give me that warm smile!

Riku: What kind of rabbit is the rabbit in spring? Is it different from a rabbit in summer?

Iori: Don’t ask for details!

Riku: But you should explain it! If you explain it, he probably won’t give you ‘boo boo!’ right!?

Iori: I mean, uh…… The way it sounds fluffy and soft is similar to love, right!? (3)

Sougo: The usual intelligent Iori-kun is suddenly being dull… Love is terrifying……

Nagi: Hm… Phantom is following our conversation well. Does he really meant to intimidate us?

Nagi: Don’t tell me, this is a pr--… Mmmh!

Yamato: Y’alright, Nagi!? Air almost went into your mouth, see!?

Mitsuki: That was dangerous, right!

Nagi: WHAT!? I can’t have air go into my mouth!?

Yaotome Sousuke: …… This is not a prank. This restaurant’s owner is known for hating mass media.

Yaotome Sousuke: A restaurant that doesn’t accept TV requests wouldn’t accept a planned prank like this.

Re:vale: Eeeeh!?

Okazaki Rinto: Then, this is a serious incident!? President Yaotome!?

Yaotome Sousuke: Shut up! Okazaki! I haven’t forgotten how rude you were… I won’t accept collaboration requests from you ever again!

Okazaki Rinto: Wha!? Wait, No… Jeez~! President Yaotome~! Don’t say silly things~!

Yaotome Sousuke: Acting dumb now won’t change anything!!

Anesagi Kaoru: Okazaki, this is not your prank, right?

Okazaki Rinto: Of course!

Anesagi Kaoru: Takanashi-san, how about you?

Tsumugi: I-I don’t know anything.

Ogami Banri: We are not involved. President was so excited too, we just wanted to give you a surprise.

Yamato: Then, we really are… involved in an incident that’ll make all of Japan panic…?

All: ………………

Gaku: …… What the hell……

Mitsuki: …… This is not funny……

Tamaki: …… My heart is about to burst……

Nagi: OH… Don’t tell me, we won’t be able to go home before Cocona’s air time??

Nagi: NO--!! NO NOO! PHANTOM! Open the door!!!!

Tenn: Who are you, exactly? Do you have grudge against us or something?

Gaku: Now that you mention it… Who were you talking to that time? You sounded so angry at them.

Yaotome Sousuke: It’s because he asked me a foolish request. Who would ever use him again……

Ryuunosuke: Use him again…? Who is he?

Yaotome Sousuke: …… Hyuuga Akihito.

To be continued……

T/N?

Proofread by Sophia @ousama-pudding. Otsukare sama!!

The title 裸の答え literally means naked answer and it sounds so... wrong LOL so I changed it to Exposed Answer.

(1) Is telepathy really possible? The answer is YES for Re:vale.

(2) Phantom uses a voice changer so they can’t tell who’s talking

(3) Iori usually speaks using difficult kanjis but he uses Japanese sfx like fuwa and howa (SFX for a warm and soft object.) that makes him sounds stupid lol. IORI ALWAYS CALL RIKU OR TSUMUGI CUTE BUT HE IS THE REAL CUTE

I personally wish they would add more lines for tsumugi in this story *looking at bamco and tsutsumi bunta*

ANYWAY FORGET ABOUT COOL AND SHARP I WILL USE RABBIT IN SPRING AS IORI’S SLOGAN FROM NOW ON

Chapter 4 will be posted soon! Thanks for reading!!

Only Smiles

so heres what happened. I messed up and deleted the last part but its still here. you can read the full thing on  ao3. its better organized there. but this is everything from the last time. If youre just now finding this my blog is new and its just a couple scrolls to find the first part. The story includes a soumako date and confession.

Sousuke splashed water in his face, grabbing his towel and wiping off the excess water. He blinked as he stared in the mirror. He couldn’t believe that this was even happening. Going to the Amusement park with Makoto...he had honestly planned on giving the tickets away to someone else but the perfect opportunity had presented to himself. Soon enough, his phone vibrated to assure him that today was, in fact, a reality.

Makoto: Good Morning! Are you still picking me up?

Sousuke: Yes. I’ll be there in about an hour.

Makoto: okay, no rush! : )

Sousuke placed his phone back in his pocket and smiled a bit. Makoto was always so energetic in his texts and it reflected his personality. He would never be caught sending anything less than a small emoticon, but even those were rare.

He walked back to his room and stood in front of his drawers. Placing his hand on chin, he thought of what he should wear. He hadn’t really gone out in a while….just what was appropriate for a date to the amusement park.

Ten minutes later, he opened his drawers and settled on a grey long sleeve shirt, jeans, and his black leather jacket. He rolled up the bottoms of his jeans and put on his black tennis shoes. Once he finished, he took another look in the mirror. He smiled to himself. For not going out in a while, he didn’t seem too shabby.

Although, he had to remind himself that it wasn’t a date. He didn’t need to look good for Makoto but he also didn’t want to be the one who showed up looking a like a bum. Did he need cologne? No, that was way too much. He had taken a shower the night before.

Before he left, he made sure that he had the tickets and his wallet. He messaged Makoto that he was on his way and headed out the door.

Makoto brushed his teeth after he messaged Sousuke. Surprisingly, his excitement managed to quell his nerves a bit. Not only was it going to be his first time going to an amusement park in a while, but it was also going to be the first time he was going with Sousuke. Actually, they never really did much other than dinner before Makoto went off to college so this change of pace was new to him.

Once he washed up, he went and changed into his clothes. Putting on a plaid, red sleeve shirt, which he rolled up to his elbow. For pants, he just wore blue jeans with tennis shoes. He flopped down on his bed and looked at his phone, smiling when Sousuke said that he was on his way. As he switched his phone off, he brought to his mouth, a smile still on his face. Of course, he was aware it wasn’t a date but he felt special that the two of them were going together.

He heard a meow and then seconds later a cat jumped on his bed. Somehow, the twins had managed to get his parents to budge to buy a cat. It was a white with orange cats but they named it Kuro. He had no idea why. However, she was sweet and it was to please her. Makoto sat up and she climbed in his lap. The time flew by as he played with her and had the tv as background noise. Before he knew it, there was a knock on his door.

“A-ah, coming!”,He gently placed the cat back on his bed and made sure he had all of his stuff.

He ran to the door and opened it with a smile,”Hey Sousuke.”

“Hey Makoto, you ready?”, Sousuke said with a smile.

That smile of his always made Makoto’s heart skip a beat. He felt like it only belonged him because Sousuke rarely smiled for anyone. It could just be because they were closer than most though, he shouldn’t take it as anything more than that. This was just two friends going on a trip.

“Yea I am, thanks for picking me up,”he said as he walked out and shut the door.

Sousuke shook his head,”no problem, your house isn’t too far from fine.”

In order to get to the place, they had to take the train for about 45 minutes. Since it was a saturday, they were forced to stand, holding the handles. They were both standing next to each other but at least the train wasn’t too full. It also wasn’t much compared to their training.

Sousuke tried his best attempt at a conversation to try and make the time go faster. “How has your time back been so far?”, that seemed like a reasonable question to ask. He looked as Makoto responded,”its been great, the twins got a cat while I was a gone, im still unsure how they bribed my parents. Thats not even the best part, the cat is white and orange but they named it Kuro.”, he finished off with a chuckle.

Sousuke raised one eyebrow,”Kuro? That’s pretty odd...maybe they just liked the name. But at least you’re enjoying your time, I hope I didn’t take time from hanging out with your family.”

Makoto shook his head in disagreement,”the twins had some club and my parents had work today, I would have been left alone at the house, so thank you for this. Nagisa and the rest want to wait till I come back with Haru to do something like a dinner.”

Sousuke bounced off of that,”im sure they were excited to see you though and were glad you’re here. I am too. Glad you come back.” Sousuke caught himself nearing dangerous territory and he was glad he could stare at the window, rather than facing the embarrassment of his statement while looking into Makoto’s eyes.

Makoto wasn’t prepared for that at all and a slight blush crept on his face,”I’m glad I could see you too. Rather than through just the phone. I’m still getting used to being away from home. Its nice to see familiar faces.” One of those familiar faces being Sousuke. He looked down, the conversation staying silent, but the air wasn’t awkward. Makoto felt nice being close to Sousuke and his presence soothed him.

Suddenly, the train made quite an abrupt stop, causing Makoto to lose his balance because he was spacing out. However, Sousuke had wrapped one hand around his waist to support him,”are you okay?”, he asked. Makoto sprung back up quickly, a smile on his face,”a-ah yeah, I spaced out” Sousuke just looked at him then responded,”be more careful.”

Makoto’s hand tightened on the handle as he looked down. He wish he could place his hand on his beating heart to get it to calm down but that would be way too obvious. The touch of his hand around his waist did more than what Makoto seemed it would do….was he falling too hard for the man?

Sousuke was thinking the same thing. After Makoto moved away from him, there was a part in his heart that regretted it. A part of his heart that wished he could hold onto Makoto longer. He also didn’t think that he had fallen that hard for the other man but the heart never lies.  

Eventually, they arrived at their destination. Makoto had attempted more small talk, asking about how Sousuke was, before Sousuke reprimanded him,”I said there’s no worrying today and im fine, so dont think about things like that.” It wasn’t helpful at in trying keep Makoto from falling even more. People had worried about him, of course, but never in the way Sousuke had.

Makoto was so used to being the protector that being the protected was a weird, yet very comforting feeling. It made his heart warm that there was a person out there that they worried so much about how he was. His friends worried, of course. However, Makoto was very good at hiding his feelings. It was only Haru that could usually tell something was up but he didn’t try to do that too much. Haru had other things to worry about, especially with Ikuya.

Makoto was snapped out of his thoughts walking out of the train. Sousuke had hit him on the head,”oi, did you listen to what I say?” Makoto looked at him in surprise,”ah-um I-”, he stopped speaking as Sousuke placed a finger on his forehead,”each time it seems like you’re thinking about something troubling I’ll do that, got it?” Makoto could only nod his head in response.

Sousuke knew Makoto was probably worrying about that Ikuya situation too much and it kind of frustrated him. The only thing Makoto should be thinking about was the park and him, anything that wasn’t sad or would make him worry again. This was why he hit him. Once Makoto agreed to his statement,Sousuke smiled as he pulled away,”now come on, these rides will make you forget about all of that.”

“Hmmm, what ride do you want try to first,”Sousuke said as he looked down at the map unfolded in front of him. Makoto looked and answered,”I feel like we shouldn’t just start off with a rollercoaster, maybe something lighter, like the teacups.”  “Makoto I dont know what your memory of teacups were but all I remember is endless smooshing.”, Sousuke said, which led Makoto to chuckle.

“I was always the tallest so I was the one doing the smooshing, ah then maybe the pirate’s ship?”, he suggested. Sousuke smiled,”of course you were and yea lets go.”

The pair walked and talked, Sousuke starting it off,”I really haven’t been here in a while. I didn’t have much time when my swimming took off.”

“Ah same here, maybe more because of the twins, but swimming became our main focus.I always loved it though.”, Makoto said, his eyes scanning the tons of smiles and laughter around him. It was a nice change of atmosphere.

The place wasn’t that far but they were interrupted before they could continue by one of the staff that worked there, a camera in his hand,”feel free to get your picture taken, if you feel like you want at the end of the day you just need a ticket!” They decided there was no harm in just taking and agreed.

The photographer was about to take it but put her camera down,”oh get closer closer, you two must at least be friends, black hair place your hand around his shoulder.”

Sousuke gulped but did just that. This was...already alot of physical contact he didn’t expect to have with Makoto that day.

“1..2..3..smile!~”

Sousuke managed to smile and Makoto did as well, putting a peace sign in the air. The lady gave them their ticket, thanking them, and then moved onto her next victims.

“That was unexpected”, Sousuke said. Makoto smiled,”it was but maybe we do need a photo. I’d like to remember this day.” Sousuke’s heart skipped a beat at the simple words that came out of Makoto’s mouth. He really shouldn’t be this but, oh God , he was

The day was going along pretty well. They started off with Pirate’s Ship and gradually upped the level with each ride.

During the late afternoon, the two of them got hungry and were going to search for somewhere to eat. However, before they did, they walked past a carnival area of the park. A guy managed to catch their attention,”just 25 cents each! If you’re lucky, then you can get a large plush, just land the quarter on one of the plates, easy right?”. It wasn’t in the slightest. That’s how those games worked.

Sousuke was just one of the few people who actually did know how to play this game. He walked up and digged in his pocket,”just a quarter right?”, and the guy nodded. Makoto looked at him with wide eyes,”you have this aura of confidence, have you done this before.” Sousuke smirked,”just start thinking of which plushie you want.”

Before Makoto could comment, Sousuke gracefully threw the quarter. Makoto watch with anticipation as the quarter kept rolling around until it finally settled down, still in the plate. The person working there had a shock on their face, but it quickly turned into a chuckle,”well young man, its not everyday I see this, thank you! Please choose a plushie of your liking”, he said as he pointed up.

Makoto looked at Sousuke, gesturing him to look at it. His heart was beating as he stared at the plushies. This is definitely something people do on date rights? Makoto felt spoiled. Again, another feeling he wasn’t used...not until he met Sousuke. His eyes locked onto an orca whale and he pointed,”that one.”

Once he got the very large plush, he hugged it, almost covering his face. Sousuke chuckled,”it fits you.” Makoto smiled,”thanks Sousuke, I guess it’ll be a nice addition to my dorm.” Sousuke heart skipped a beat and how happy winning that seemed to make Makoto. He wasn’t used to this feeling, wanting to spoil someone, wanting to see them smile. It was all so new.

The two stopped by a buffet place because they couldn’t decide on any specific food.

“What did you want to do after we eat?”, Sousuke asked, taking a bite of his chicken curry.

“Would it be a great idea to get on more rides after we eat? Maybe we could try something light like the carousel or the ferris wheel to pass the time”, Makoto answered but also quickly realized what he said. If they did that….this would really sound like they went on a date. He had been having too much fun that he forgot that were just two friends at an amusement together. Everything just felt so natural.

Sousuke almost choked on his food at the mention of the ferris wheel but responded,”y-yea, I think that would be nice, we could let our food settle and enjoy the view”

“Yea yea, enjoy the view. That would be nice. I think we would be able to see the ocean.”, Makoto, who was just as nervous, said.

The two of them were both hopeless when it came to love. These two who had always been so focused on swimming and caring about other people for a better part of their lives. A whale shark and a whale. An unlikely pair that came together to compliment one another in ways neither of them would ever fathom. This pair definitely needed a bit of courage and a push from the gods.

They were almost to the front of the line. To pass the time, they played some games, one of which was 21 questions, which resulted into them learning things about each other. Like how Sousuke wasn’t a morning person or Makoto loved cats but was quite scared of dogs. Through this, for both of them, it felt like they had gotten close to each other.

When they got into car for the ferris wheel, it rocked a bit due to both of their heavy size and weight. They chuckled as they each sat on one side. Makoto placed his plushie down on one side of the seat and scooted closer to the window.

The two of them were silent until they got higher, Makoto speaking,”wow, you’re beginning to see the whole park.” Sousuke stared out and replied,”ah you can, it seems so small now.” Makoto smiled and spoke as a thought came to mind,”isn’t that how the world is, you think its so big but in reality everything is so small.”

Sousuke thought about what he said for a minute,”you’re right. Also I think they have a parade towards when it hits nightfall when you want to stick around, I saw it on the map.”

Makoto turned his head to look at Sousuke and smiled,”yea, that’d be great! It’d be a nice way to end the night. Ah-thank you by the way, I did technically get in free.” Sousuke shook his head with a smile,”don’t worry about it, I had a pretty good time, thank you for coming on such a short notice.”

Makoto spoke,”oh its fine, besides we haven’t really hung out with each other like this, its a nice change of pace”

“I guess this our first time actually hanging out huh? Im glad we could. I never even thought we would be friends.”, Sousuke wasn’t smiling, but his face was still soft. He wondered what type of conversation this would lead to and he was nervous.

Makoto looked down,”I never thought I’d worry about you as much as I did. Its in my nature I guess but it just felt different with you.” Oh no. Why did he have to say it like that. He never thought that they would become this close, he only saw Sousuke as someone in need help, not a potential friend.

It was something about being locked up in the car of the ferris wheel, the only thing holding them up was pieces of metal that everyone trusted that could fall down at any minute, ultimately leading to their death. Maybe it wasn’t that it was just the ferris wheel that made everyone confess but the thought of realizing that world around you actually isn’t that big. You worry about what so many people might think you forget you’re just one speck of sand out of millions. That realizing things like this makes people take a chance at confessing their love. And it was exactly what was going to happen in just a few moments to the pair of them.

Sousuke continued,“When we first met, I may have been a little standoff-ish-”, Makoto interrupted with a chuckle,”a little?”, which made Sousuke smile,”maybe alot.”

“I realize I probably overstepped my boundaries I bit but...I don’t know. Its like seeing a kitten in a box. Its not yours, you can leave it alone, you’ve never even met it, but yet you’re still pulled to want to help them.”, Makoto said.

Sousuke let out a small laugh,“I don’t know if I should feel complimented but yes. I didn’t know who you were and I kind of associated you with the people who took Rin away from me. Well, he wasn’t mine but, it felt like he was apart of your team, despite being on a completely different team and after I had tried so hard to catchup with him...everything just went downhill after that. I started to shut people off, even Rin.I’m lucky you’re so stubborn, otherwise I might not be here today,”Sousuke finished, smiling at Makoto.

Makoto’s heart started beating after Sousuke said something like that. He really didn’t think he was that special to Sousuke but his words were making him think otherwise. However, he wasn’t aware this much about how Sousuke was feeling. There was a sort of emptiness, loneliness in his words. Did he feel alone? Anyone would after feeling like they don’t have a place to belong to. Being on a team doesn’t necessarily come along with this feeling and it may have been a struggle for Sousuke.

Makoto looked down and spoke,“When I first saw you swim...you were amazing. I was captivated and I figured it was no wonder you were great friends with Rin. But after the drama and your shoulder I was just attracted to you. A large protective aura came over me for some reason. And even now with you, im experiencing different….feelings I guess one would say. But theyre good. Theyre just so foreign to me. I don’t quite know what to do with them yet.”

Was Makoto really being this bold? It was just everything about the moment that screamed even if he didn’t express his feelings now he’d ignore them, throw them under the bus, pretend they weren’t they for years on end. It was better to fall now then to get even higher and fall later. At least, thats how his mind was rationalizing the whole situation.

Something came down on Makoto’s head, but it was gentle. He looked up to see Sousuke smiling,”I would bonk your head but its my fault you put on that face. Its weird but I always want to see your smile, I feel like its what you deserve.” Makoto blushed and his eyes looked down,”saying embarrassing stuff like that…” Sousuke chuckled as he removed his hand,”you’re cute Makoto.”

Makoto only blushed more and looked up, trying to refute his statement,”am not.”

“You kind of are”, Sousuke said.

Makoto stood up abruptly,”HeY-ouch!”, he had forgotten that were both too tall to stand up straight and hit his head. He sat back down and looked at a laughing Sousuke,”Sousuke,this is your fault you know,”he whined,although, for a split second, Makoto was glad he made a fool of himself. Hearing Sousuke laugh like that felt so good to his ears and he wished he had more that throughout the day.

“But here”, Sousuke calmed down and grabbed Makoto’s wrists, removing them from his head. He went to go check his head, since the hit seemed pretty hard,“You’re good, just dont do that again”, he said as he scanned his head. “why…”,Makoto mumbled.

“Huh?”, commented Sousuke as he pulled his head away, not even realizing his hands were still on Makoto’s wrist.

Makoto’s blush crept on his face again,not being handle the gaze of Sousuke’s eyes,”why do you make me feel so safe”,Makoto managed to breath out in a low voice, his racing heart stopping him from speaking any higher.

That caught Sousuke off guard. He made Makoto feel safe? Well, that’s because he wanted too. He wanted to protect his smile, his heart, everything . Sousuke only answered with a question of his own,”why do you make me want to protect you so much?”

Makoto’s hands balled up into a fist,”why...why is my heart beating so fast?”

“Why is mine beating fast also?”, Sousuke questioned.

“Why are we speaking in questions?”, Makoto asked as he finally looked at Sousuke.

Sousuke smiled and looked up,”I dont know, why are we?”

Makoto didn’t have an answer so Sousuke, taking a bullet, spoke,”why...do I want to kiss you right now?”

Makoto was flustered, his face getting redder, but that was only cuter to Sousuke. This was definitely happening, right? Sousuke kind of implied that he would want to kiss Makoto.He spoke even though his nerves skyrocketed,”w-why...would I ever say no?”

Sousuke slowly let go of Makoto’s hands and placed them on his face, still staring at Makoto. He was going to ask if Makoto was sure that he wanted this but his answer was proven by his actions. Makoto had closed his eyes and Sousuke took it as yes. He leaned slowly and didn’t stop until their lips were pressed together.

Is this what a real kiss feels like? Thought the both of them. Also, for both, it was their first time kissing. Everything was new to them. It felt so soft, yet so good.

They stayed like that for about 30 seconds until Sousuke pulled away, his face probably a red mess just like Makoto’s. He placed his hands on his lap and looked down, an awkward silence between them.

“Mako-”

“Sous-”

They both spoke at the same time but stopped.

Sousuke gave into the silence and took a deep breath,”Makoto...as you can most likely tell..I have feelings for you.” His heart was threatening to jump out of his chest. What if everything just went wrong?

Makoto’s heart almost stopped at Sousuke’s words. “U-um...so do I…”

Awkward Silence. Again.

However, Sousuke broke it a minute later,”does this...mean..”

Makoto looked up at him and got where he was going,”I mean..if you want…”

Sousuke smiled and let out a nervous laugh,”I bet we both look stupid now.”

Makoto smiled as the tension died down a bit,”no can see us though. Only we’ll know.”

Before they could continue, it stopped and the door opened. They had completely lost track of time and almost forgot that they were even in a ferris wheel.

Sousuke got out first and offered his hand to help Makoto before the person in charge could. Makoto took it, a smile on his face, his other hand holding the plushie.

After that, Sousuke never let go of his hand as they exited and spoke,”should we go find a spot for the parade?”.he asked. Makoto’s heart was racing but he held his tighter,”yes, lets go do that.”

The two of them were happy. A happy that wasn’t just because you won a game or your team won the swimming competition. It was a different kind of happiness, a content happiness. A happiness that only belonged to them and that they could only feel with each other. A happiness that made both of their faces light up with bright smiles.

A happiness that no one else could make them feel.

Oh god! I miss your mpreg soumako! How about during makoto 2nd trimester he has the sweetest pregnancy cravings. He suddenly got a sweet tooth you name it from ice-cream, to chocolate and cakes he had Sousuke making him sweets for every meal. Until one day he notice that his pants are getting a bit tighter than it should. During a routine checkup the doctor told him that he's gaining a bit of weight which got him depressed about getting fat. Sousuke comes to the rescue making him feel better.

More mpreg

…

Makoto stood in front of the kitchencupboard, gently nibbling his lip as he tried to decide what he wanted to eat. Sincehe got pregnant Sousuke really had kept the cupboard well stocked, packed withtreats.

But that just made it all the moredifficult for Makoto to choose. Cakes, pastries, chocolate, biscuits, sweets.All looked so inviting right now.

Deciding it would be unfair to havejust one, Makoto fashioned his own snack out of a battenberg cake, a tub ofvanilla frosting and sweet decorations. He walked to the table with a spring inhis step, well as much of a spring a pregnant man could have.

He’d always had a sweet tooth butsince being pregnant it had grown, it had been weeks since he’d even eatenanything savoury. Not that he was complaining, it was a dream ever since he wasa child and now he had an excuse. He had noticed his clothes becoming a littletight as of late but surely that was too be expected with pregnancy, his bumpwas developing nicely.

“I’m home!” Sousuke shouted, lettinghimself in.

Makoto frowned, freezing mid chew ashis boyfriend walked into the kitchen. He wasn’t due for another three hours.

“You ready?” He asked, frowning atMakoto’s ‘lunch’.

“For what?” He replied, sprayingcrumbs.

“The check-up.” Sousuke said,side-eyeing the mess on his table.

“Shit!” Makoto shouted, desperatelyshovelling food into his mouth. “I forgot that was today.”

“Calm down.” He laughed, gentlygrabbing his wrist. “You still have 20 minutes.”

“Right, of course.” He nodded, notwanting to admit he was planning a follow up desert of chocolate.

“I’m gonna grab a salad before we go,can I interest you in a vegetable of some kind?” He teased.

“Don’t ask stupid questions.” Herolled his eyes.

…

Makoto panicked as he watched thedoctor frown as she took his blood pressure, which would no doubt only increasehis heart rate.

“Is everything okay?” Sousuke asked,sensing a change in atmosphere.

“Yes.” Doctor Jo smiled reassuringly,pulling the band off Makoto’s arm. “I just need Makoto to hop on the scales.”

“Okay.” He nodded, least he knew it wasroutine and nothing of concern.

Makoto stepped onto the scales andbarely bat an eyelid as the doctor consulted her notes, at least until shebegan to question him.

“Are you still getting regular exercise?”She asked.

“Yeah.” He nodded. “I do a half anhour walk a day, like you suggested.”

“Good.” She complimented. “Any changesin diet?”

“Nope.” He lied. “Staying healthy forbaby.”

“Makoto.” Sousuke scolded lightly.

“Well I might allow myself the occasionalsweet treat now and then.” He blushed.

“Right.” She smiled, not believing hislie. “You’ve put on twenty pounds since the beginning of your pregnancy.”

“And that’s not good?” Makoto frowned.

“Well obviously a little weight gainis expected, by the end for someone of your size it’s about thirty. But as you’reonly in your second trimester twenty pounds is a little high.” She explained.

“I guess I could cut out the sweets.”He grumbled, knowing it would be very difficult.

“I’m not saying you have to cutanything, if you’re craving sweets it’s probably your bodies way of saying yourblood sugar level is low. Just remember that your baby can survive on a single adult’sdiet, eating for two is just a myth.” She giggled.

“Of course.” He forced a smile backbut he still didn’t get ice cream on the way home, despite his and Sousuke’stradition.

…

Sousuke fell back onto the sofa,completely exhausted from blowing up the giant yoga ball Makoto was currently balancingon. It was really good for his core strength apparently.

“It says here pilates is good whenpregnant.” Makoto commented, eyes never leaving his laptop screen. “Strengthensthe muscles you use during the birth.”

“You’re not doing pilates.” Sousukerolled his eyes.

“Why not?” He frowned. “The walkingand swimming obviously aren’t working. Oh, and dancing.”

Makoto grinned, playing some music onhis laptop and jumping up, quickly losing interest in his ‘core muscles’. Heswayed his hips, beckoning Sousuke over with a coy smile. The taller manmanaged to hold out a whole thirty seconds before he caved, joining his foolishboyfriend.

“Pastries for dinner again?” Sousuke asked,slipping his hands around Makoto’s waist.

“No.” He whined. “Something healthy.”

“Fruit salad then.” He grinned.

“Sousuke, I’m beginning to think you’rego blame for my recent weight gain.” He pouted.

“Perhaps.” He shrugged, holding hishand up for Makoto to spin under. “I happen to like your new love handles.”

“Stop trying to butter me up.” He growled.

“Butter? Now that does sound like agood idea.” He teased.

“I’m trying to be serious.” He stompedhis foot.

“I’m being serious too. I don’t loveyou for your weight, this baby won’t love you for your weight, the world doesn’tlove you for your eight. We both love you for who you are, we love you because you’rekind and you’re caring, you have a permanent smile despite all odds and, soon, you’regoing to be an incredible dad.” He said with a kiss.

“Sou.” Makoto blushed.

“And just for me, I love you because you’reamazing in bed.” He winked.

“You just had to ruin it, didn’t you?”Makoto giggled.

“But, if you’re still worried aboutyour weight I have a suggestion.” He said, ignoring Makoto’s complaint.

“Yeah?” He snorted. “And what’s your greatidea?”

“You and me, with the chocolate saucein the bedroom.” He whispered, lowering Makoto into a dip. “Combine the sweetswith the exercise.”

“Look at that, sometimes you do havegood ideas.” Makoto sighed against his lips.

“Thanks.” He kissed him, bringing himtall again.

Makoto smiled softly at him beforespinning out his arms and walking towards the kitchen with a sultry sway of hiships. Sousuke stood frozen for a minute, unsure if he was expected to follow orif he’d just made Makoto hungry rather than horny by mentioning chocolatesauce.

“Sousuke.” Makoto sung from the door,bottles of sauce and whipped cream by his sides. “Think you can make me sweat?”

“Not a problem.” He growled, gatheringhis boyfriend up in his arms with a passionate kiss.

“I want to taste you everywhere.” Makotowhispered into his ear, spraying cream onto his neck.

“Upstairs now.” He groaned as Makotosucked his skin clean.

“Sure thing, coach.” Makoto grinned,letting Sousuke push him up the stairs and into their bedroom.

Free! Drabble - Valentine's Day?

This is something I wrote promptly using the Free! AU fandom as the premise. For those who never saw Free! or read High Speed, which are anime and manga to a high school series about a bunch of swimmers from Iwatobi High / Samezuka Academy, well this is the fandom. It featured topless kids swimming and being emotional.

However the fandom dealt with M/M pairing, but my fiction is genderbend. So Rin Matsuoka and Sousuke Yamazaki are 16 year old boys, and Haruka Nanase and Makoto Tachibana are girls. They are all attending Iwatobi in this AU. The central themes are crushes and love.

.........................................................................................................

There are more reasons to be angry about this, than to be happy about. Of course Rin chose to be angry, he was always ready to embrace anger rather than happiness. He did not like this at all, in fact he thought that it was inappropriate to be happy over this. His personal space was being invaded by someone he didn't know. It did not matter that the invasion was just a huge bouquet of chocolate bouquet placed on his table, he just thought that the method was cringy. The sender wanted to be anonymous but made Rin receive the gift publicly. The anonymous sender could have chosen other personal methods, such as sneaking it inside his locker or via a delivery man and send to Rin during lunch or any other personal time. He didn't like being clueless. Not like this, not on the first period on a Monday where he had classes with his crush. His crush would think that he had someone in his life when he was very, very single. Matsuoka Rin opened his bag and took out his phone, and the date… there on the phone's display was the iconic date, but February 14th felt like it fell out of nowhere for Rin. Then he palmed his face, he had been away for practice since December and had only came to school for registration. All his classes had been held at the office of the swimming center where he had been practicing. Since he practiced for the regional sometimes dates did not register to him at all. Even new year was forced on him with his sister declaring him ungrateful for failing to spend the night at home instead of the swimming center's hostel. And now Valentine came on a Monday and he totally forgot about it, along with the opportunity to send a Valentine to his crush.

“Biggest bouquet i've seen so far today,” someone commented followed by chuckles. “Shut up Yamazaki” Rin glared at his best friend, also a swimmer who was on hiatus because of an injured shoulder. At this point, his classmates started arriving for class one by one. He sighed and decided that there was no point in concealing the bouquet. He held it casually in his arm as he shoved aside things in his bag to put the bouquet in, and at that precise moment his crush walked into class. Nanase Haruka was a girl beyond Rin’s comprehension. She almost qualified for regional swimming competition too but got disqualified for suddenly stopping in the middle of her race in the qualifying round. Rumours claimed that she was distraught as her parents were divorcing. That rumour made Rin cringe to ask her about her well being. Haruka looked at the bouquet in Rin’s hand and then at him, but she looked away and headed to her seat. Rin was a little disappointed that she showed no reaction at the bouquet. Did she even care? Great, now one more thing coming between us, he thought. Rin was still hopeful about him and Haruka. Maybe in the future if it couldn't happen now. Rin had been crushing on Haruka for two years. At fourteen he entered Iwatobi High and registered with the swimming club, where he saw Haruka swimming. He fell instantly in love with her. He wished that he could ask her for a race but it was impossible since they are of different genders and they barely spoke to each other. “Babe, how's the weekend?” Yamazaki Sousuke spoke to someone else this time. Rin stashed the bouquet inside his bag but only the bottom part of the bouquet fit the bag. Rin zipped up his bag and dropped his jacket onto his bag, totally covering the top half of the bouquet. Then he turned towards his best friend and saw Sousuke flirting with his girlfriend of one month, Tachibana Makoto, also best friend of Haruka. Sousuke pulled Makoto towards him and pecked her cheek, Rin quickly averted his eyes. “We're in a classroom,” Makoto reprimanded her boyfriend. Sousuke laughed as Makoto moved away to her seat across from Rin. At the moment Rin wished he had the balls to confess to Haruka openly like Sousuke, but with Haruka mostly ignoring him, he thought waiting for some more time was better. With Haruka whose personality was as frigid as a frozen lake, Rin wished that he could read the girl like Makoto could. Sometimes Rin envied Makoto for understanding each of Haruka’s non verbal language. The teacher entered the class as Makoto sat down on her seat. Haruka glanced at Rin and he looked back. Their eyes met and Rin swore that he saw her eyes widening for a second. “Now have you finished your assignments, Rin have you done yours? You did excellent in the past assignment despite preparation for regional and all,” the teacher praised. Rin broke eye contact with Haruka reluctantly and nodded at his teacher. He blushed hard, he was not as good as Sousuke in his studies but he tried his damn hard to complete all his assignments on time. “Now everyone, let's continue with a new chapter and don't forget to register for your favourite novel for English week,” continued the teacher. Rin noticed Haruka stealing glances at him from the corner of his eye. It was odd for Haruka to pay him this much attention. Maybe the bouquet stirred something in Haruka, or was she jealous?  Maybe he had a chance now. Rin smirked and covered his face with a book before glancing at Haruka and locked eyes with her. This time Haruka did not turn away, she looked at him and blushed a deep red.
