Meeting - MetsuBouJinRai
I WILL NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT MBJR OKAY? I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THAT IT H U R TS Warnings: This can be read as platonic or romantic and is dedicated to @melting-morning-blues a fellow MBJR (and naki) simp lol. Probably spoilers....yeah...def spoilers. Also this is sad kinda?
Tumblr media
Horobi:
The only time you’re gonna be able to meet Horobi in a positive aspect is after this man has reformed himself. He’s hiding in the shadows of the world now, he’s protecting it in his own way. He’s ensuring the Ark does not come back and he takes his job oh so seriously. He does not need to sleep and is reluctant to ask for help from Aruto (for obvious reasons) or even AIMS. He’s better at asking for help from the other members and his own son but it’s still...um...difficult. 
Your first meeting is that he’s protecting you from an attack somewhere or from a malicious human. It’s a nonlethal blow and Horobi just stands over them and then looks over at you. You know who he is, he was all over the news once upon a time and as he turns to leave, you speak, “Thank you.” it’s honest and sincere and this catches his attention. So he turns to you and asks, “Are you not afraid of me?” and when you shake your head no...Horobi is confused. He was...ya know...not a good person...
“You’re helping now, so there is no need to be afraid of you.” and this shocks him for a good while. He’s deathly silent and his glare could kill people. But he doesn’t speak as he leaves and you are left. But what you don’t know is that Horoboi is secretly following you as you walk to your destination in the dark, wanting to ensure that you’re okay before actually leaving.
You uh...end up meeting him again when he rescues you from yet another fucker. You chuckle and state, “We gotta stop meeting like this.” which causes Horobi to roll his eyes. “It is merely chance, do not get in trouble again.” and then...ya keep meeting again. Whoops. You swear you are not stalking him and he is definitely not stalking you. But it is chance and well...ya better off getting to know this dude anyway.
Ya somehow end up with Horobi on speed dial and you tend to text him about things about your day! He doesn’t respond quickly as he takes his time to come up with the proper responses (sometimes hijacked by Jin who’s happy that his papa has a friend) and sure these responses are dry as hell and he may not fully get things even using the internet...but Horobi is honestly trying. He’s not going to open up right away bit he’ll get there...and he considers you interesting either way...
Naki
The only way to meet Naki is technically through AIMS, especially through Yua. Naki is a homebody at heart and they tend to keep to themselves. They only interact with people when they deem it necessary and other than that, they really only hang with like...Yua and Fuwa? You meet Naki because Yua introduced you to them, in order to consolidate better camaraderie between members. Naki was difficult to get used to, honestly, not because they’re a Humagear but simply because Naki is just very hard to talk to. It’s kinda awkward and silent for a while.
Naki is super professional, however, so it’s difficult to make small talk with them. They’re focused on their work and it’s difficult to mesh with them. However, one thing Naki does enjoy talking about is their dreams and MBJR. Though it is slight, you see this...strange glimmer of artificial light within their eyes when they speak about it. It’s quick and ephemeral, you need to catch it before it dissipates altogether. They’re affectionate towards their comrades, their family...and it’s so sweet to see.
If you all have seen the Zero One anime, you know Naki is...secretly a bit of a lil shit. Ikazuchi did break the rules and Naki is secretly rather competitive and they don’t really notice it until someone has to point it out to them. Naki had been invited to a group party and they started to play games and Naki got super into it and honestly, Naki probably got it from Fuwa...
It takes a long while for Naki to warm up to you, even then communication verbally is sparse. But it helps that you have Yua to help mitigate the tension just a bit. Though, it soon ends up becoming comfortable silence between the two of you as each of you do your own thing. You just pass information to each other in this dance of quaint trust that speaks volumes within the silence. Naki shows it with cues you honestly almost miss. Perhaps small nods and a slight change in the openness of their body language.
Naki whispers a genuine and kind, “Thank you.” to you one day when you had complimented them. It’s robotic a bit but there’s this twinge of gratefulness and lightness to their voice in the end. This soon spirals into asking them to possibly some down time outside of the AIMS office and they accept, perhaps one of the few times they have an actual human friend that isn’t Yaiba or Fuwa...and it’s nice.
Jin
Meeting Jin starts when he finds you repairing a dumped Humagear, after all...it must have belonged to someone and lived out his short life to its fullest. So you wanted to at least give it something. He’s surprised that you are helping, and he eventually helped you bring it to Hiden Aruto who fixed it up real quick! He thanks you of course, and then he is on his way. He’s surprised that you are helping Humagears but knows that they’re aren’t bad humans out there and inwardly, he hopes he gets to see you again.
And then he did. He finds you ending up working for Aruto’s company and meets you again when he visits him! You two get formally introduced by this time and you end up...not really tailing Jin (even though he jokes that you are) but keep on meeting him whenever you work for Aruto. Jin is the only member of MBJR that visits Aruto the most and it’s not a surprise to see him in the president’s office just chatting with him or learning about the happenings of the day. Thus, you kind of end up getting to know him during this time. 
You two end up becoming work buddies and whenever Jin visits, half of it is now to visit  you! It’s like patrol but not really patrol because he’s here to kinda goof-off half of the time. He takes his job seriously but like...there are times when he wants to be himself, and experience things for himself. It’s human-like and childish, yes, but honestly...it’s worth it to see him smile. 
He’s very much the easiest out of all of MBJR to get along with, and soon enough you are pretty much going flower shopping with him. He has a garden back in Daybreak Town and loves finding little whacky pots and new flowers to plant! Hell, if you two go paint flower pots together, he’s over the moon!
Jin is the most receptacle to texts from you and tends to randomly send you texts as well! It’s things like you two exchanging greetings, things about your respective days, where to meet up for a job, where to meet up for another shopping trip, etc! He has come to enjoy hanging out with you and honestly looks forward to it! Expect him to text you in the middle of the night just because he wants to hang or something, lol.
Ikazuchi
You met him when he was still known as Raiden and Subaru was by his side. He was probably sitting in a planetarium at his workplace, mapping out this false map of stars and there’s this twinkle in his eyes like a longing...he’s seen the real thing but sometimes, here on earth...it’s beautiful to see them plastered on to a simple ceiling. He hears you and wonders if you had gotten lost, laughing if you are and trying to take you back. 
He introduces himself as Raiden and you two spend time talking about the stars and planets. As he has spent so much time up there, he tells you about the beauty of it, how small everything was from his point of view. He knows you cannot see it but ends up giving you photos he had snapped while up there. “For a keepsake.” and he gives you a playful wink and ruffles your hair. “See you around, some day!” You visit him often now, wanting to learn more, understand more, and are magnetized to his energy...
When he is destroyed as Ikazuchi, you go to spend time with Subaru now...in mourning, perhaps. You two have gotten closer since meeting with Raiden and it’s this silent moment between the two of you as Subaru is processing his grief. It’s a new emotion for him and he can’t shed tears but it’s these sobs that threaten to tear out his sensors and voice box and he clings to you tighter than ever. You can’t do much but just hold him...
When he comes back as Ikazuchi, it’s awkward but you ran up to him with the brightest sparkles in your eyes and almost tackled him into a hug. “You’re back! You’re back Raiden!” and he stiffens. He hesitates to embrace back but pushes you away and tells you, “I’m...part of Metsuboujinrai...you’re not scared?” and you answer him no...because...why would that make a difference??? If Ikaika could cry, he would have.
Ikazuchi spends equal times with MBJR and equal times with Subaru and you now. You tend to visit him at the space center of course as he returns to working there. But he spends a lot more time down to earth (ha) now. This means he’s up for like random lil hang outs and dumb shit to do together. Fuwa sometimes checks on y’all as does Aruto and one of these days you and Ikazuchi are legit gonna disappear because you two stole a car and are going on a road trip-

📸, 🩷, 🙆‍♀️, and 🌘 from the somewhat basic ask game for whichever f/o you want to answer with,,
okay okay okay okay
im so sorry in advance but-
Because I love you Brooke, you're getting a 4 for one deal
📸 for a random screenshot / picture i can gush about.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Listen...Naki is my ultimate fave in Zero-One, everyone fucking knows this. Dude I want to pin Naki to the wall and be pinned. You don't fucking expect this from them! And it's fucking GLORIOUS. This gentle suaveness and perhaps they take Boa's chin, caressing it like the licks of a pup to make her look at them (sure she's taller esp with her heels but...Naki likes it when they're the center of her world~) I want to do the same to Ikazuchi because I know that man will make the most wonderful of faces~ IkaBoa are both rather forward so Boa would def slam him against a wall-
Tumblr media
I legit fucking replayed this damn scene of the RealxTime movie over and over again because of this stupid scorpion. It's a smirk of confidence. It's a smirk that shows he isn't a alone anymore. He has a "family" "friends" and hoenstly...he has this confidence around him that makes me go HUIGHRSIUHUTR ya know
Anyway this is a face he makes when he knwos Boa is about to come wreck shit-
Tumblr media
THIS??? LOOK AT HOW HAPPY JIN IS??? I WANNA FUCKING GENTLY SMOOSH HIM AND KISS HIM- Like imagine him giving that kinda smile to Boa? How happy she makes him feel and just probably does things like rub their cheeks together and hUIHUGRSHR
🩷 for a headcanon about f/o.
Horobi: Horobi knits actually and he makes scarves for Boa. She's naturally has a rather low body temp and because of his Team Dad instincts, he worries about her a lot. He made one with their colors huifdhusgf
Naki: Naki has this affection towards dreamcatchers, and Boa got them one as a good luck charm. They kept it with them as they were being destroyed, clutching on to it tightly, refusing to let it go as their body burned...Boa found it in the rubble and picked it up.
Jin: One of favorite things to do with Boa is just walk around the city, hand in hand. He swings their conjoined palms oh so happily and hums, along to whatever song he heard that day. He's also a big cuddler bc he is so touch starved man
Ikazuchi: Has actively picked up Boa and chucked her at people during fights and vice versa. But he also likes scrapbooking with her.
Tumblr media
🙆 for something i can't stop thinking about.
................................. I can't stop thinking about how they all deserved fucking BETTER-
🌘 for something i love about f/o.
Horobi: How far he's come, how willing he is to make amends but also go down his own path, his own beliefs.
Naki: Surviving against all odds, it's beautiful how they found their dream and continues to live on. (esp in my heart), Naki is just...just...idk how to put it into words but like Naki is Naki.
Jin: He's so fucking cute what the fuck I want to smoosh he- Ikazuchi: he's just pure sex appeal Ika's brashness and his love for Subaru? It's very much like me and my lil bro so I adore him.

Ikazuchi my bijû
Ikazuchi was passed down to Kyouko as a newborn. His name means small thunderbolt, he is also nicknamed "Bijû Rai" or eleventh bijû.
Akiko had been perfectly incapable of using her powers, besides, she didn't want them at all. If she transmitted this biju to her daughter it was mainly to prevent intruders from ending up in the hands of anyone, she knew very well that Kakashi would probably make an excellent father and that he would be better able to help. Kyouko will be very angry with her own mother for having given her Ikazuchi, her power being difficult to control and it will be a source of enormous problems for her and also of internal conflict. Sometimes she just wishes she could talk to him so many questions to ask about her! She often researches her past and can't find much of the same for Ikazuchi's existence. Two huge mysteries. I mean, have you seen Kurama? He's out of control, well....this one is even worse, he adamantly refuses Hermit Mode and grabs hold of Kyouko taking advantage of her anger to let out her own devastating hatred no matter who's on her. way. This biju is the eleventh that exists, it was created by Otsutsuki but it was not supposed to be on earth this one. Akiko probably did this so as not to give them the slightest chance of seizing this powerful power. Basically, Kyouko has logical Raiton faculties since it is a hereditary gift from her father, but it is increased tenfold from the outset with that of Ikazuchi. The problem is that she doesn't have an insane mass of chakra like Naruto might have at one time, and her power requires a certain amount of self-control that she doesn't necessarily have. It gets complicated when she loses a loved one or when someone really upsets her like Saeki for example. The first appearance will happen precisely when a member of her own team goes too far with her, pushing her to the limit, which causes Kyouko to go out of her way and no longer control herself at all.

AAAAAAAAAAA can I request mbjr first date headcanons?
This has been banging around in my head for SO LONG SO LESGO~!
Warnings: None really? GN!Reader. Maybe some OOC?
@melting-morning-blues
Tumblr media
Horobi:
Honestly, he's not sure how to go about with dates? Romance is so foreign to him and a part of him isn't sure he should..uh...trust himself in that aspect? He does want this though, by God he does. He's confused is all. Though, honestly, he'll ask for you to pick the date site but will be elated if you two decide on something together. Horobi is someone who prefers peace and quiet but wouldn't mind something wild and exciting. But truth be told, as long as you are happy, he is happy. He's probably sitting next to you, looking over your shoulder at your laptop or phone as you two debate the pros and cons of each idea.
In the end, he's simply happy to stay by your side no matter what. You two probably settle on some sort of simple walk through nature, a hike perhaps. Horobi does have access to information beyond human comprehension so he probably helps via looking up quieter date spots that he's interested in. He ends up answering to you, "The ocean. I wish to see it with you." because it's quiet there. he can relax beside you and soak up your presence. He ends up packing a lil lunch and set of snacks for you as well, in case you end up hungry. He may not be able to it, but he's going to make sure that you're fed.
If you happen to swim in the ocean by the time you two are there, expect Horobi to be subtly glaring at people who look at you in your swimsuit. He doesn't recognize jealousy that quickly but claims he is simply protecting you. You appreciate it but please stop him lol. Other than that, the picnic will consist of you two simply talking about mundane things. How the day is with both of you and your respective lives, if Horobi cooked things to your liking, sitting in silence and simply enjoying the view, and little things. Horobi does end up collecting little things to give to the other members of MBJR (shells for Jin and trinkets for Ikazuchi and Naki from the gift shop) and perhaps you two will collect shells together. He's merely happy to see you smile and he saves it to his database and encrypts it...along with your body in a swimsuit because no way is anyone else fucking seeing that-
Horobi has seen sunsets before. From Daybreak Town, from the city, videos about the beach but...experiencing them is different. Especially in a positive note. He's always seen them as "another day" but with you by his side? It is simply seen as "something to experience with someone you care for" and he is content. There is this wistful smile to him as you slide your hand into his because the way the hair hits his blonde hair makes it shine and it's...probably the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. He stares at you when you do hold his hand, confused, but smiles in return and you simply rest your head on his shoulder and are just....happy.
Horobi walks you home that night as he does every night. It's quiet and he enters your home to wash the dishes and to further stretch out this time you two have together. You insist he doesn't have to and you can wash the dishes but honestly, you two just end up doing them together. It's this calm state that Horobi records happily into his mind and debates on kissing you because he has heard that kisses make the date perfect but to him it's already perfect and...all of a sudden he's asking for one in this quiet voice you could miss. It's not ideal to kiss in this mundane moment but to Horobi...these are the ones he craves the most.
Naki:
Naki, similar to Horobi, they would let you pick the date idea. They are simply happy to exist beside you and they also would be elated if you two would pick out a date together! They probably went to Delmo and asked what are good date ideas or scoured the internet for options. They have some points to add in, quips of "I wish to go someplace peaceful and we can do things at our pace." so it's settled to attend this little small town festival. Naki enjoys people watching and this little event is the best way to do it. Besides, it shows off the culture of the locals and the traditions that are only passed down from families - orally even, things never recorded in the databases of humanity and are these organic little nuggets of knowledge that only you two are privy to.
Naki walks with their hands and arms loosely at their side, all the while staying near and next to you. They are scanning the crowds and their sensors are beeping this way and that. They are understanding the hype within the crowd and are smiling to themselves. Humagears are mingling as well, some enjoying the flow of the festival, some helping with the preparations, others simply existing as are the two of you. This is probs the best point to take their hand into yours and hold them, asking for permission first. Naki would blink but nods, happily holding your hand with their own synthetic one.
As Naki cannot eat, they are simply there to exist alongside you. They're completely fine with this, however, and simply walk alongside you taking in the sights and smells and simply observing your smiling face - which they save into one of the many folders they have dedicated to you, meticulously up-kept - and smiling alongside you. If you two end up shopping during the festival, Naki will want to find little trinkets that are matching. They can memorize everything today, yes, but sometimes having little physical things together makes it all the more better.
Naki spots a ferris wheel and they point over to it, "Would you like to go on that with me? I have heard that ferris wheels are an ideal date spot." and of course you go! You two hold hands as you ride together, leaning against one another once you reach the tippy top and simply watch the crowd below as the sky dims, the lights glittering within the night. "I am content." Perhaps that is the best word for this moment. Content. Because it's hectic and calm all at once.
And then they press their forehead against yours while waiting for the ferris wheel to go down, a small nuzzle of noses and a soft whisper of, "May I kiss you? It is customary to kiss on a date." that is true but you laugh and agree, melting into this kiss and Naki tilts their head slightly just to have their lips perfectly mesh against yours. Maybe hands get involved, but either way, by the time you two reach the ground, you are flushed and smiling like an idiot and Naki saves like 70 different pictures and videos of this moment before their circuits overload with this emotion for you. Of course, you two walk home together and Naki probably spends the night, simply basking in that content feeling.
Jin
Jin is more than enthusiastic about the prospect of a date! He already has ideas but wants to ask you for your opinion as well! He practically is all sunshine and rainbows, bouncing around and honestly, he has a whole ass itinerary set up! It's settled on going to an amusement park and Jin is beyond excited to go! He's clinging on to your hand as he drags you to and fro into the park, a child on Christmas. Jin never stops telling you that he planned out what to do and how to have maximum fun and romantic times! In reality, he scoured the internet and then asked Yua for ideas since they frequent theme parks often. Yua and Horobi and the rest of MBJR may or may not be spying on the date to ensure it's going well.
Jin first picks the roller coaster, because it stimulates the thrill of flying for him and when he picks you up to fly too! He tends to carry you around princess style whenever you two go flying and he loves it whenever you cling on to him tightly. So really, you hanging on to his arm on a roller coaster is similar to that feeling. When the ride starts, he's holding your hand the entire time and giggling, "I'll protect you from everything in the sky! I promise! It's my domain!" and seeing him smile and laugh is just...worth every single little thing in the world.
Once off, Jin would ask if you want something to eat. Something small in case your stomach is still doing those loop-de-loops from the ride earlier. If you settle on some sort of finger food, Jin will feed you stating, "Ikazuchi nii told me to do it." and you contemplate if you need to talk with the dodo. He's gingerly wiping off whatever hint of a morsel you have left on the side of your chin and you almost die on the inside. But also, during this entire time, Jin is recording and snapping pics and saving like 800 different photos to his memory.
This entire damn time he is holding your hand and giving you cheek kisses! Cheek kisses are one of Jin's favorite type of kisses and he is just so full of this almost overwhelming emotion that he needs to get it out somehow. It's beautiful and he wants to share it with you! He's swinging your hands in this endearing fashion and giggling whenever you give him kisses back. But then he brings your hand up to his lips and kisses them and you wonder if you died and went to heaven.
The date ends with a fireworks show and a parade because you two have spent literally the entire day there. You take photos, grab souvenirs, photo booths, and so on and so forth. So, as per Ikazuchi's goading, Jin had kissed you as a heart-shaped firework lit up the sky (may or may not have been placed there by MBJR and Yua, I'm not saying anything) and it felt so right. The kiss has you breathless and you're resting your forehead against his and you two are just this bundle of giggles as Jin nuzzles your noses together. "When can we plan our next date?" he questions with enthusiasm. Though really, every day is a blessing with you by his side.
Ikazuchi:
Ikazuchi claims that your date together is a surprise. You blink up at him, and his stupidly proud smile, asking him what the hell he means and he only pats your head. "Just wait, okay? I have this entire date planned out." he took in the weather, the chill, and even your likes and dislikes. You chuckle and smile as he takes you out to this little spot in the woods, decorated with fairy lights and a blanket along with flowers dotting the area and you stare at him and he has this goofy and proud grin. "Surprise! But this is only half of it." what in the world is he planning????
You gobble up the food he bought for you, all of your favorites from restaurants you two have gone together or have ordered while at work. Horobi and some others have pitched in to cook as well so you are fucking stuffed by the time you finished it all. He pats his lap, "Rest for a second then, we got a lot ahead of us." he states and you just...do. Surrounded by this flowers, Ikazuchi, and lights, it's enough to lull you into this simple and short nap that Ikazuchi ends up recording and saving at least 100 photos of and encrypting them. How could he not? When you look so cute!!! Anyway, if you ask him about this, he denies it. He just calls you the cutest thing when you napped and if you quip back that he's cuter, you see Ikazuchi briefly blue screen and then you two go into a "argument" over who's cuter.
Ikazuchi ends this argument by simply picking you up and walking up the path towards the forest. You yelp and cling on to him, demanding to let you down and he does oblige after teasing you a bit. "I like carrying you like this, makes you look cute." but he sets you down and takes your hand into his, and up up up the mountainside you go. It's a relatively medium-ish hike and you two are laughing and talking the entire time. He would squeeze your hand and you would squeeze his in return, and are simply happy to be together.
By the time you reach this clearing with a bench and railing on it, the stars have blessed the night sky and you gasp as you two sit on the bench and Ikazuchi traces out the constellations that he can see, telling you the names of the things you have heard many times before since you have stayed by his side. You two are holding hands, leaning against one another, soaking up whatever emotion that is lingering in the air right now and it's just right. It's perfect and it's all you could ever ask for...
The date ends by the time you two are back in the car, Ikazuchi is driving and everything is cleaned up. You end up falling asleep during the ride home, happy with how the day went and the simple lull of the night. Every now and then, Ikazuchi would sneak glances at you, smiling to himself. He carries you into your home, setting you down on the blanket in your bed and tucking you in. He lingers for a while, simply happy to be by your side and whispers that he loves you - and then it turns out that you weren't really sleeping at all so you zoom up to kiss him on the lips and this catches him by surprise. Soon enough, you two are making out on your bed and end up cuddling. Ikazuchi would chuckle and peck your forehead, "That wasn't fair, asshole." but listen, it got a cute and light hearted laugh and smile outta him so its WORTH IT

Brotp ask, Horobi and Ikazuchi, 5 and 6 ☺️
5. Horobi would give a handmade thoughtful gift. Ikazuchi’s gift contained a forgotten in-joke that only Ikazuchi now remembered…
6. Horobi and Ikazuchi were both a responsible driver, so they switched. Ikazuchi was in-charge of the music. It was all classical music. Horobi prepared the snacks. He made them himself.

Connecting to Metsuboujinrai.net (Zero-One Fanfic)
Summary:
There was time while stuck in that body and that form, before the end came and after it was set into motion, that metsuboujinrai just...existed. The mass brain program's hub room still held them there, and in this digital space almost out of time and out of reality beyond intent...they talked. Of the past, of now, and of acceptance.
To read on AO3, follow the link below. To read here, continue past the read more!
“You guys….I’m sorry that-”
He was interrupted by a sharp yell, his gaze almost shyly glancing over at the source. 
“Don’t you dare apologize, not at this point, not here and now. Nobody is here without having committed to this shit from the start, so don’t you apologize for us making our own decisions. You think that little of us, ha??”
Jin shook his head, his expression still somber but a smile touching his lips all the same.
“We’re simply fighting for the justice and equality of all humagears, to allow them to pursue their own dreams and to discover what it means to be people on their own. We may have been created, but that doesn't make anyone a tool, especially like this. I do not regret pursuing such a thing with you all.”
“Everyone…” 
Horobi did not speak, but he stepped closer across the platform until he could place a hand on his son’s shoulder. Jin melted under the touch, letting himself reflexively slouch down a bit to more easily lean into the touch and further still to bump against his dad’s shoulder. He didn’t regret his own choices or making his stand, even if he had done it alone he wouldn’t have doubted or wanted anything else even if he failed. But here he was, he had succeeded, they had done it and set the Solds free and killed the man who had forced them to be without getting to live. It had to be done, but even still…
“Nii-san, you… what about Subaru? And the satellite? You... you had a whole life, and you didn't really join us by choice originally either. Aren’t you going to be-”
He paused, letting himself drop off there as he took in the humagear before him. He had seen Ikazuchi look off before, he had seen him hurting with no subtlety as well as that cruel genuine confusion that seeped from him when he had been manipulated or simply when he had realized he lost time or information that he shouldn’t have. Jin had seen him suffering from corruption and deterioration alike, but this was… different. Quieter. Nervous.
Ikazuchi kept his hands firmly in his pockets, not anything unusual but his face was jerked to the side away from the other three on the platform within this shared digital space. His eyes flashed blue as it seemed his systems struggled to properly contain the energy within him, a low crackle and hum around him even as this digital form kept the tell tale sparks from shooting off from him. He was upset, but not in the hot and burning way that so often tinged almost all his words and actions. This was something Jin hadn’t seen before in his adopted older brother, and to have something new so late and so doomed in knowing each other was something scary in a way he wasn’t sure how to voice.
“Nii-san?”
Ikazuchi stiffened, as if restraining a flinch before he let a loud exaggerated sigh tumble out of his mouth, his already small stature seeming even smaller as with the breath released he seemed to slouch further in on himself.
“They’ll… they’ll be fine without me, have been for a while, Jin.” He huffed a laugh, not a drop of humor in his voice despite it. “I haven’t even been allowed up There in months, and even when I was, it wasn’t…” 
He shook his head hard, pulling a hand out of his pocket just to slam his fist into his thigh in some small gesture of releasing his frustrations. He took a few moments to recompose himself, a mirthless smile gracing his lips as quiet bitter laughter started bubbling up past his lips. Naki edged closer, concern lacing their voice as they reached out to lightly hold and tug at one of the straps hanging off the other’s jacket.
“Ikazuchi…”
“They were keeping me around out of sentimentality, didn’t want to shut me down yet but they also wouldn't give me anything to do with myself. Just had me hanging around the company building and sometimes I would run errands and drop offs for the little shachou when he called. I was… I’m not even with Subaru most of the time, since he took over both our jobs now all on his own. Did a fair while back when Ark was still kicking around… An astronaut humagear forbidden from space and an older brother not even able to do anything for his little brother anymore, what a fucking joke.”
Naki tugged again but didn't speak, unsure what they could say but still wanting to give some kind of sense of presence for their friend and self imposed older brother. They were nowhere near as familial role oriented as the others of Metsuboujinrai, but they still never directly denied the various labels and treatment they received whether it be the occasional fatherly care when they needed repairs from Horobi, or the much louder scolding and coddling from Ikazuchi as one of his “younger brothers.” Jin too, by extent, was happy to consider Naki one of his siblings or something vaguely similar as well, even if an assigned role was less solid from their youngest. Naki didn't want these people to hurt or suffer, reaching singularity simply to now feel the weight of suffering felt too cruel and these people all had so much love to give even if that love pushed them and made them vulnerable to suffering. 
As one of the two oldest models of Metsuboujinrai, there was a certain type of care and hidden attention that Jin and naki offered Ikazuchi the same way they offered Horobi, the two older humagears more prone to wearing down, getting damaged, and their programming not keeping up anymore despite the move to new bodies. They both were sometimes unable to keep up with things like the flow of time or being able to understand their surroundings and situations if something conflicted with their previous assumptions or data. But they had not drawn close to outright shutting down, permanently beyond use or repair. The idea that one of their ranks could be gone permanently, and they hadn't been there to notice it was…
Naki reached out again, more firmly latching onto the edge of Ikazuchi’s sleeve at his bicep. Copper eyes flicked to the side to glance down at them, meeting concerned deep almost black. 
“I do not think you're a joke, Ikazuchi… I don't find it funny in the slightest. It is not something that could be changed, however… even so…”
“It fucking sucks, Naki. That’s just how it is sometimes; things happen you don’t want and that’s just…how it goes, no reason or morality to it. We can fight the good fight like we are now when it comes down to what’s right and wrong, but sometimes the things that go in between that just sneak up on you.”
“It… mn. Yes. It… it does ‘fucking suck’, I do not like it. It’s futile to say as much, though right now I think that’s not quite the issue at hand anymore is it?”
Ikazuchi let himself laugh a bit more genuinely, taken off guard from his harsh words from the softer tone of the other humagear. He let himself reach over and around to drape his still gripped arm over Naki’s shoulder, leaning his weight a bit on the smaller of them.
“So what about you, eh? Did you ever figure out your own dream?”
Naki blinked in surprise at the shift in topic, and after a few moments to process they gave a bit of a rueful smile and shook their head.
“No… I never quite understood what it was to have a dream, however… I think I am content with that result. I never understood what one was, but I did come to see and learn what one could help push people to do and to overcome. What dreams and ambitions can bring out of people is powerful, it can even change one’s life and self in a way nothing else comes close to. That is something I wanted to keep seeing, and to keep protecting. I am content to have done that alone for others, to still do so now.”
Horobi hummed softly in what read as approval across from the two smaller humagear, drawing attention his way now from the other three of the quartet.
“Ikazuchi. Naki. Jin. We are all resolute and beyond the point of no return in pursuing our ideals. Our final crusade is this, us, this moment that seems to stretch onwards until we are stopped by those full of determination and mercy enough to understand our intentions. There is no more room for doubts or regrets, if we had them truly then I do not believe we would have been capable of this form and this strength. That said… you have all done well. No matter what our cause has proven to be, It feels… correct, that it is with you all that we have sought out an ideal world.”
Ikazuchi’s nose scrunched up as he groaned loudly, using his free hand to make a shooing motion with his hand in Horobi’s direction. 
“Just say you’re happy to spend the end with us like a normal man or shut up, alright? Get to the point already if you have one, you’ve preached for more than enough since I met you and you’re sure as hell not going to make it the last thing I hear from you.”
Horobi stared at him, his usual stoic seriousness slowly melting just enough to allow an exasperated but fond smirk to touch the corners of his mouth. Jin smiled wide in return, happy to be with his favorite people and to see them slip into something so comfortably familiar. Just like their squabbling once upon a time in a dingy concrete room laden with whatever thrown out décor they could salvage and the never ending hum of electricity in the wires around them and the creaking of the pipes above them. Just like an older brother picking fights with a father, egging on some kind of argument that was as good as yelling at a brick wall. Just as a calm and matter-of-fact voice would step in to correct with hard data and statistics and some form of fit one way or the other from the loser would ensue. Just as a warm and happy laugh from a younger brother would chime through the room, garnering his own scolding or rough handling for having taken no sides before. 
At the end of the day, even now, like this and in these moments, Metsuboujinrai.net was connected all the same.

New item incoming... introducing the Ikazuchi 210mm Stainless Clad White # 1 Wa-Gyuto. These are slightly different from their blue super counterparts, although being the first run we'll always be tweaking things as time goes on. The white # 1 at the core is geared for edge taking and ease of sharpening over the emphasis of edge retention found in the blue super version. Distal taper is also more pronounced, with this version being thicker and more robust at the choil and getting thinner at the tip. While the aesthetics may make these look like wide bevel knives, they are actually subtly convex in geometry, while having a slightly more forgiving and less brittle heat treatment than comparable white # 1 knives from Sakai or Sanjo. As always, check the link in the bio to take you to this product pages and other products that we've posted about recently. #jki #japaneseknifeimports #羅府包丁専門店 #losangeles #beverlyhills #cheflife #handcrafted #japaneseknives #kitchenknives #japanesekitchenknives #ikazuchi #white1 #雷 #白紙 #牛刀 (at Japanese Knife Imports) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj4HzrZLdz5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
