@fatexbound liked for a starter for haru! ☾
Tumblr media
“Thanks for coming out with me today,” Akira began, gripping the bar overhead as the train came to a stop. Even though she was a member of the team now, it still felt a bit odd asking Haru out alone sometimes. Not that he had any desire to let her know this, but he wasn't totally sure how to act around her. He was still feeling out how to speak to the richest person he knew when he'd never been all that great with any more than the basics of manners before.
That wasn't the only area out of his range of expertise, however. His helping her garden was also something he'd never had a chance to do before. His parents had never been one to get their hands dirty, and he would have believed it too boring of an activity to bother going out of his way to do. Now that he was doing it alongside her and reaping the rewards in the Metaverse, he figured he ought to try and take it a bit more seriously. This had been the reason he'd given for inviting her out: he needed her help in picking out some books and, potentially some seeds.
Their first stop, though, was the bookstore in Jinbocho. This was obviously a better option than the bookstore in Shinjuku, considering who he'd come out with. He stepped out after her once the doors opened. “Is it mostly vegetables and flowers that you have experience with?” he asked her, attempting to work out how much standing up straight would be required in this interaction. “I've been thinking about trying some fruits out at some point.” A lot of them grew on trees, though, didn't they? This was the problem in him trying to do the shopping for himself: he felt like a fish out of water even trying.

@goemn liked for a starter! ☾
Tumblr media
Coming out with activities to invite Yusuke out to tended to be a bit of a toss-up for Akira. On one hand, he could make some predictions. If they went somewhere with art or food, it would be an easy win. But that was sort of the problem. It could be too easy. He wanted to challenge himself to come up with more interesting options than that. There were some… eccentricities that the artist had, to put it lightly, and he was much more interesting in exploring these than he was in playing it safe. This was a habit of his, in fact -- playing it safe was boring, and there was nothing he'd like to be less than boring.
He'd decided that today's hangout would be at the aquarium. Sure, it was a common date spot, and he was well aware of this in offering the invitation, but he was more interested seeing which fish were deemed interesting enough to be sketched, aside from the obvious one he knew was a favorite. He'd suggested it as a place they could go that might help Yusuke out with this slump he was in, though truthfully, he wasn't sure how effective it would be. There were some interesting shapes of fish here, and maybe he'd enjoy that? If it went poorly, they could always stop at the ramen shop in Shibuya on the way back and he could treat his confidant there. An easy back-up plan.
As they arrived at Shinagawa, he decided he could take the opportunity to prod a bit. “So, what do you think? Just the lobsters today?” he teased him lightly. It was hard not to be curious about what went on in the artist's head sometimes. There was an element of unpredictability in there that he felt was just too interesting not to try and lure out.

hmm... my joker muse is unfortunately high atm, so i suppose there's nothing to do but put out a starter call for him! i may be selective with these, since i'm getting ready to go into finals week in a bit, but i wanna get more threads going for him. like this if you'd like a starter from akira kurusu from persona 5/royal, and let me know which muse(s) it would be for if you're a multi!

hiii, nice to hear from you! let's see... my first thoughts would be plotting something around hero and sunny spending time together post-game for the hurt/comfort of it all. just working through All Of That (since we both have both of them as muses lol-) i know you mentioned potentially wanting to add momiji, and i've got a hatsuharu i could throw at him! the two of them tend to spend a lot of time together in the show. i'd also love to throw my akira at your yusuke or akechi. or i have a minato i could throw at your yukari! i think we've got a lot of potential options based on what interests you/who your highest muse is. my DMs are open to chat if you wanna discuss any of those! ^-^

👄 (Tohru & Yuki of course~)
Send 👄 for my muse to tell yours something they’ve always wanted to say to them! - Accepting ☾
Tumblr media
“There's so much I'd want to say to Honda-san… It's hard to know where to begin.” Yuki supposed… he would need to start somewhere, but it was difficult to put into words. He was no poet, and in fact, he often found that he struggled with acknowledging his own feelings, much less putting them into words. Having his own feelings, his own opinions, hadn't been something that had been permitted for him for a while now. “She's sweet… No, more than that. She's amazing. I worry that she doesn't see that enough in herself… How much everyone's behind her.”
He was doing it again, wasn't he? Deflecting to 'everyone,' relying on others to convey his sentiments for him. She'd made a difference for them, he was sure, but he should speak for himself. “Not only that. It's… how much she means to me, too. I feel like I can be myself in front of her.” It wasn't something he was used to. It was vulnerability, certainly, and there was some fear in that. But there was a bit of comfort in it, too. “I don't have to be perfect to be with her… And I hope that she can feel the same way about me. That she doesn't try to hold herself to some standard for my sake.” It was the least he could do in return for all she'd done to help him. “I owe her too much to let her feel that way.”

The RFA didn't tend to understand Yoosung. It seemed everyone had moved on from what had happened far too easily to him, and yet they still looked back at him and wondered why he wasn't alongside them. Everyone seemed like a different example of this. Jumin wanted him to just move on and be productive already, Zen wanted him to be an adult about it, and Seven… well, it was hard to get a read on what Seven thought a lot of the time, but he had no problem joking around after the fact. Jaehee seemed like the person who understood him most, but even then, she stressed the importance of keeping on.
Just when it seemed like he'd managed to find something else that he could focus on, that could distract him in such a way that he could almost forget about it, he had to end up being dragged away from it. Tonight's outing was heading to the heart of downtown, happening to occur on the same night as a major raid. He'd tried to tell Zen that he was going to be letting down his guild by not being there, but that wasn't reason enough.
Not that it could be too much of a surprise that the actor wouldn't understand, considering what his computer looked like.
“Filet mignon and champagne?” he repeated, halfway in disbelief. What made Zen think he'd want to order anything that fancy tonight? Sure, he wouldn't mind having dinner on Zen's dime as opposed to his own, but he doubted he'd even like the taste of champagne. “I'd rather have something greasy by this time of night.” There was sort of a stereotype associated with college students and unhealthy food, but what could he say? It wasn't his fault that pizza and fish-shaped buns were so good. Even Zen, who was so conscious about his skincare, had to agree on some of that. Though there was a bit of an ulterior motive motivating his suggestion… “We could get some fried chicken! And then I could get back before the banner ends. It works out for both of us!” He knew of a spot that was close to an internet cafe.

          it  isn't  like  he's  going  to  drag  his  friend  around  on  a  bar  crawl,   especially  after  what  happened  last  time  they  drank  together   ( yoosung's  infamous  hangover ),   so  zen  is  going  to  keep  a  closer  eye  on  the  younger  tonight  and  avoid  places  where  just  alcohol  is  served.   after  all,   swapping  one  unhealthy  habit  for  another  is  not  constructive.  
          but  that  doesn't  mean  they're  not  going  to  have  some  fun.   and  he  knows  that  the  blond  might  resent  him  for  dragging  him  away  from  that  damned  computer  game   —   he'd  whined  something  about  a  ' raid '?   —   but  in  zen's  eyes,   it's  truly  for  his  own  good.   there's  a  wide  world  out  there,   and  yoosungie  is  already  an  adult:   he  needs  to  see  some  of  it.   live  some  of  it.   they'll  have  a  good,   safe  time,   and  return  home  before  it  gets  too  late.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘɪᴄᴋ ᴜᴘ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ ᴍᴜꜱᴇ(ꜱ) ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ?
most of my muses tend to be picked up by me watching a show/playing a game and going "hey, i like that guy!" and then not having the self-control to stop myself from adding them- lmaO this has kind of always been the case, even before i started writing on tumblr!
ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ?
there's a lot of stuff i don't really like writing. i'm not a whump person, and i tend to be bad at writing aggressive dom top characters in general. i'm also uncomfortable with pregnancy as a topic, even if i love the idea of characters raising kids together for the found family sort of dynamic that can lead to.
ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ᴡʀɪᴛɪɴɢ?
i'm a fan of both angst and fluff, mostly! i also really enjoy writing super detailed novella responses, getting deep into the weeds with a character and their thoughts. character explorations especially are fun. i think one of my favorite things to do with a long-running thread is to work in little surprises for my partner (that i have to stop myself from spoiling b/c i'm so excited about what i've got planned-)
ʜᴏᴡ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ?
i feel like a lot of my headcanons come from listening to music, tentatively linking it to characters, and then deciding that i'm going to strengthen that more by adding more details to a character. it's a plague, really.
ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ ɪɴ ꜱɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏʀ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀʏ ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ?
i tend to treat writing responses like doing homework in that sense: i listen to music, but only music without lyrics, or with lyrics that i can't understand. otherwise i get too distracted. lofi girl and synthwave boy are my best friends.
ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ ᴏʀ ᴡɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ?
generally speaking, i like to plan out the direction of things like threads. though when it comes to individual responses, i almost never plan them out before i sit down to write them. sometimes i'll stew on them for a bit, come up with a few ideas, and then navigate the process of writing my way up through those ideas.
ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ?
i do enjoy shipping! i don't have a lot of ongoing ships right now (because i usually find it hard to ask people if they want to ship with me since i don't have a lot of experience doing that lol) but i would love to have more <3
ᴡʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀʟɪᴀꜱ/ɴᴀᴍᴇ?
i go by moon online! not my real name, of course.
ᴀɢᴇ?
over 21! in RP terms, i fall in the range of 21-25.
ʙɪʀᴛʜᴅᴀʏ?
april 20th. funny meme day, i know. the real comedy is when i'm not allowed to put my real birthday in when i'm filling out online forms b/c it will automatically get flagged as spam. it sounds crazy, but it's happened.
ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ(ꜱ)?
mint green, my beloved <3
ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴏɴɢ(ꜱ)?
ever??? super hard question. right now, i'd say i've been listening to so you wanna marry daisy a lot, and i can't really explain why? something about the vibes. but this is definitely subject to change lol
ʟᴀꜱᴛ ᴍᴏᴠɪᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜᴇᴅ?
pretty sure it was weathering with you! i watched it w my partner :3
ʟᴀꜱᴛ ꜱʜᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜᴇᴅ?
i finally finished up the second season of spy x family! also with my partner. i,,, don't watch enough shows on my own lmaO
ʟᴀꜱᴛ ꜱᴏɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪꜱᴛᴇɴᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ?
koi by hoshino gen. certified banger, btw.
ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜰᴏᴏᴅ?
OOGH. probably fried rice or, like, garlic naan. i am a carb girlie through and through.
ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ?
kind of torn between spring and fall. i love the vibes of spring -- everything turning green again, the rain, the way everything's starting to warm up. it feels energizing, like a fresh start. but i also love the vibes of fall -- the sweaters as it starts to get cold, the crunchy leaves, and the pumpkin pie. why pick one when you can have both?
ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ᴛᴜᴍʙʟʀ ʙᴇꜱᴛ ꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ?
hehe. hehehe >:3c
tagged: stolen! tagging: steal it back, babes <3

That was a relief, at least. With the sort of tension Zenkichi was carrying in his shoulders, Maruki couldn't help but worry he may have found him in the middle of a bad time. Say, an undercover mission that hadn't been going well. This wasn't to say that there was no reason for the posturing, but rather that he hadn't accidentally found a way to make things more difficult with his observations.
The compliment he offers is dismissed with an offhanded remark about aforementioned observation skills still leaving blind spots. Surprises, as he says. Maruki can't help but wonder whether those surprises were the cause for the tension the officer held in his shoulders. There didn't seem to be a polite way to ask about something like that, though, nor did he necessarily have a good enough reason to beyond a simple curiosity.
“Me?” He couldn't fully mask his surprise at the statement. More than he seemed… “It's funny. I normally get the opposite,” he remarked. People were more often put at ease by his exterior than intrigued by what may be beneath it. Putting people at ease, getting their guards down, was just one of the talents he had. There wasn't anything wrong with it, per se, and it had been beneficial in the past. But doing so tended to give people the impression that he wasn't as sharp as he was. At least, this seemed to have been the perspective a certain phantom thief had towards him, from what he'd gathered. “If that was a trait I had, it wouldn't be one I could claim now.”
After this statement, he mulled over the response just a bit further, analyzing it instead from the sort of perspective an officer of the law might have. Thinking about it that way… “Ah, not that I was involved with anything shady!”
Tumblr media
"Oh, no, it's fine. I'm not undercover or anything." Zenkichi assures Maruki with a slight smile, waving off his concern casually. ...It feels like he's undercover, though. He often feels that way nowadays, after everything he's learnt since meeting the Phantom Thieves for the first time... it's a ridiculous habit that he really needs to shake off, but maybe it just hasn't been long enough yet, because it's always playing on his mind.
It wouldn't do to become arrogant and start thinking of himself as better than others because of it. He of all people knows there's no way in hell he has the right to think like that - and he wouldn't want to. But the secrets he knows now are so extreme in nature that it's hard not to let his thoughts wander sometimes... Like they're doing right now.
Tumblr media
"Ah, I don't know about that. I mean, I like to think I'm pretty sharp for my age, but..." Zenkichi laughs - it seems like he's more making a joke than he is bragging. "I find myself surprised all the time."
And isn't that an understatement?
"Besides, you strike me as the type of guy who's a bit more than he seems yourself. Call it my own intuition."

Rin had a sharp tongue. Hatsuharu was well aware of this. It was something no one could blame her for, considering her upbringing. He knew that, despite this, she was kind. Loyal. Selfless. How could he not be confused, then, at her change in demeanor? It seemed to happen so suddenly. With a new bout of hospitalization, she had shifted this towards him. She pushed him away, struck at him with her words. It wasn't long ago that it seemed they were making progress. Though she no longer saw her family, she found some happiness in living among the Sohmas with him, in the relationship they shared.
What… had happened to that?
He'd tried to find a way to bridge the gap. He didn't want to give up on her. He hoped for nothing more than to hold her close again, to wake up beside her as he had before. The light of his window cast upon her long black locks, splayed across his pillow… It felt so near, yet so distant. How badly he wanted to run his hands through them again.
This was what pushed him to stand still, to remain standing tall against her words. He didn't shrink, though she knew just where to strike. She knew how much he hated the idea of being seen as stupid, as easily tricked, as someone to laugh at. He received her words with little more than a distant sort of ache behind his brown eyes. It was the sort of sentiment that would have made him snap years ago, yet he couldn't find it in himself to do the same to Rin. He didn't want to. No, he could hardly imagine himself hating her.
“Rin…” He reached a hand out, lightly grasping at her wrist to halt her exit, to plead with her to stay with him just a bit longer. “Please. I just… want to know what changed.” What had he done wrong? How could he apologize? What could he do to make it up to her? “Can you talk to me?”

The hurt on her face. Hurt. The physical had long since healed, scars covered with makeup. But it lingered beneath the surface, emotion raw and deep down, roots buried in the deepest chasms of her heart. And Haru still saw it all. Had since the first moment he’d locked eyes with her, obsidian boring into chestnut. Haru’s gaze had pierced Isuzu's soul, shone a light upon it and made it feel a little less lonely with its warmth. Like he knew and could recognize it within her.
A bond formed right then and there, no matter how much she tried to deny it.
Tumblr media
“You can’t see anything, Haru.” The Horse’s signature stubbornness wrapped around her, flooding her veins with comfort like lava. "You’re blind to everything around you. Always completely head empty... it's frustrating. It’s why you’re the laughing stock of us all.” Venomous words came out faster than she could reign, pushing Haru away a signature at this point. He couldn’t be close, she couldn’t love him.
Not anymore.
Not until she broke their curse and removed the shackles that bound the two of them to Akito. For Haru, she’d do anything, by any means necessary if it meant he’d be free.
Even if he hated her, in the end.
“Stop looking for something that doesn't exist.” What had been meant to be a warning was a plea, hopefully masked behind a pointed turn on her heeled boot with the intent to let that be the end all and not look back. Because if she remained, she’d give in to those eyes, to that blank look that took every verbal hit she could hurl at him fast and fierce as daggers without flinching. Rin would break.

Kyo really had no awareness of anything outside of himself, did he? That he could say that Yuki enjoyed all of the attention that he got, that he drowned in adoration, was incredibly short-sighted. Not that he would expect any less. He could almost say that he envied it, the way that this idiot had the luxury of just blowing up at things he didn't like. He could yell and throw a tantrum all he wanted, but that wasn't a luxury most people got. Yuki certainly didn't.
He wasn't allowed to make a scene, wasn't permitted to show his anger, had to clutch onto his composure with his knuckles white while this stupid cat couldn't even bottle emotions up long enough to ask someone not to touch him? Of course he would be annoyed. Talking with Kyo always made him feel like he was dealing with a child -- someone who was uninformed, overly emotional, lacking in any self control, yet still arrogant enough to make a scene anyway.
As he'd said, he didn't have any intentions of starting a physical fight here. Enough of a scene had been made with throwing punches already. He'd need to head over there and apologize for what had happened.
Again.
He wasn't sure what was worse. The fact that he'd have to go and apologize for Kyo's actions, or that ultimately, Kyo would be able to come back and win them over again effortlessly once he calmed down. He was far too well aware of the fact that people were just more accepting of that cat. For as many times as he could explode, he was still more accepted by their classmates. Yuki wasn't one of them. He was some distant figure that people looked up to. They'd accept his apology, and once Kyo came back around, things would actually be smoothed over.
“You'd better come back and apologize.” He left the addition, that he wouldn't be able to do it as well himself, unsaid. “Before the end of the day.” Considering how much his fellow Sohma seemed to like to disappear up onto rooftops, or off in the mountains, or wherever, who's to say when he would be back from this? The deadline was arbitrary. He did release the wrist he was holding, however, in order to step further inside and offer his apologies to those affected.
Tumblr media
" Oh so I just have to let strangers touch me? Yeah seems pleasant. Sorry, I'm not the schools' pretty boy prince who drowns in their adoration. "
The cat sneers, knowing full well that he's still in the wrong. Honestly could have just asked the guy to not touch him and remove the dude's hand off him. He just.. the panic that got shot into him at the moment was too overwhelming, the fight and or flight response kicked into the highest gear. Plus, he's not the best at keeping his temper in check, he's aware.
He hated this. Hated feeling weak, especially compared to the Golden Sohma, Yuki. Always taken care of, always loved and given everything Kyo only wished he could have. He always tried so hard, yet was constantly blamed and yelled at for things he had nothing to do with-- No. Not now. Other things are more important than your inferiority problems. The ginger is sure that others are staring at him them, as he can hear them fumbling around, most likely attending to those Kyo had hit, but hell if he was going to turn around and make eye contact with any of them.
If his pride wasn't already being torched at his lashing-out, Kyo would have gladly taken up the chance to fight the silver, but he knew that his ego would be further damaged when Yuki would win said tussle. He hated admitting it to himself, but he knew the truth. How was that damn rat so strong?! He didn't even train with Master that often!
" Spare me. You would likely get a small slap to the wrist at worst. Plus this hell hole adores you, as if they'd let you go so easily. Meanwhile I get sent to the-- "
The box... That horrible place that haunts him ever since he laid eyes on it as child. It's an awful dark outhouse that's so isolated that one would have to intentionally make the trip to it for him to see any other living person. That's his future, no matter what happens. But he wants to be able to enjoy his time outside for as long as he can.. he has no intention to be sent there earlier than he has to. If that means he has to play nice with others he will do his damnedest. And to do that, the cat needs to get out of here. Now. Kyo still doesn't know if he's going to change or not, but he doesn't want to take that risk. The lad thinking to himself, 'Do you know how much danger you're putting both of us in be trapping me here?'
Tumblr media
" You can kick my ass later if you want just-- just let. go. of. me. "
The "please" being left unsaid.
