Made this rewrite of the end of chapter 608 bc me and my friends wanted to see gai being the one to stand up for kakashi instead of naruto and just rip obito up. We know gai would’ve been seeing red at hearing him degrade his rival. (Plus it parallels baby gai trying to beat up those chunin for mocking his dad.) Reads Left to right bc i forgot to make it right to left whoopsies.
Ok, Future AU, Married Hakukai Headcanon that Hakuba gets a bad reputation at work because his colleagues see him leaving with different young men/women every other day and none of them were his husband. Everyone gossips about it but no one dare say anything because, well, he's the Superintendent General's son and the golden boy (along with Shinichi) of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police force.
When he eats lunch at the Precinct cafeteria, he could hear whispers as people walk pass:
"He's so handsome and incredibly smart, but I heard he's the cheating type."
"Eh, really? I guess you can't have it all. He has the look, the brain, the money, but turned out to be a complete scoundrel."
"Right? His poor husband! I saw him leaving the station the other day with a gorgeous redhead. The day before that was a leggy blonde..."
And meanwhiles, at their table, Shinichi turns to Hakuba and is like:
"Aren't you gonna at least try to dispel the rumors?"
Hakuba just shrugs:
"What would I tell them? That my husband has a near inhumane ability to shape shift? That I knowingly married KID the Phantom Thief?"
Shinichi narrows his eyes at his colleague's stupid fond smile for a brief moment before concluding, annoyed:
"You're enjoying the chaos, aren't you? Jesus, you two are exactly alike!"
Lunch goes on like normal after that. Shinichi is very tired of this pair.
