Opposites Attract (Flufftober 2023 Day 16)
Pairing: tetta kisaki x reader
WC: 380
Warnings: none
Summary: just a kisaki drabble using the prompt "opposites attract"
Note: i had so many ideas for this prompt but i'm not a skilled enough writer to execute a single freakin one of them lmaoooo. i still thought this was cute enough so i pressed post before i could overthink it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kisaki didnât know how it happened. You two were so different from each other that it wasnât even funny. Kisaki was a ruthless, cunning, cold, and calculating individual who kept his cards to his chest. He was a successful businessman and vice president of his company. You could say he had it all.
But you? You were the complete opposite. You were sweet, almost sickeningly so. You showed genuine kindness to every person you met, you were warm and wore your heart on your sleeve. You were passionate and acted without thinking sometimes. And you were the owner of a small floral shop, not some rich CEO.
It started when he showed up at your shop, looking for something to spruce up his rather boring office when he met you. He thought you were a friend of Takemichiâs. You helped him, eagerly explaining the meaning of a lot of flowers and he even gave you free rein over what to choose after showing you a picture of his office.
He was feeling a little bold and charmed you into giving him your number. Kisaki didnât know why, but just one simple meeting had him wanting to get to know you better. Both of you messaged each other regularly. You would use several emojis and gifs in your texts and you even taught him how to properly use them too, but he only ever did it with you.
It wasnât long before Kisaki asked you out on a date, which went splendidly. He didnât understand it. It was like he was showing you a different side of him, one that no one else got to see. He wanted to make you feel special. You werenât used to being doted on, praised constantly, and given little gifts, but Kisaki didnât seem to mind spoiling you. And as more time went by, you only grew closer.
Kisakiâs friends were just as puzzled. Hanma and Kokonoi couldnât figure out how someone with an icy heart like Kisakiâs could ever fall in love with a warmhearted person such as yourself. Maybe that was just it. You spread warmth wherever you went and Kisaki wasnât immune to having his heart melted by you. It was all so cliche.
What was that silly saying again? Opposites attract?Â

Nightmares (Flufftober 2023 Day 15)
Pairing: koshi sugawara x reader
WC: 491
Warnings: reader suffers from a nightmare? does that need a warning if i don't even describe the nightmare?
Summary: Suga comforts you after a nightmare
Note: as someone who deals with recurring nightmares this is more to comfort me lmao
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You woke up in a cold sweat with a gasp, your heart was pounding in your chest and for a moment you slightly feared it would explode.
You jerked up and scrambled to turn on your bedside lamp to combat the darkness. When light filled the room, you looked around wildly to gather your surroundings.
You nearly jumped out of your skin when you detected movement on the other side of your bed. It was just your boyfriend Koshi Sugawara rolling over in bed, blearily blinking open his eyes and squinting at the light.
âWhatâs wrong?â He asked sleepily.
âNothing,â You whispered, âGo back to sleep, Koshi.â
He didnât listen, instead, he looked at his alarm clock, it was a little after three in the morning. Then he turned his head back to you to take in your trembling figure as you sat up against your headboard.
âDid you have another nightmare?â He asked.
Nodding mutely, you brought your knees to your chest. Your heart rate was beginning to slow down, but you still felt the lingering sense of terror.
âTheyâve been happening more often,â Suga pointed out. You could hear the concern laced in his tone now.
You sighed and dropped your forehead to your knees, âI know.â
Some nights were worse than others. Some nightmares were so intense that they had you bolting out of bed and running to the living room, screaming.
You felt guilt flood your chest and tears stung your eyes. You hated feeling like this, so weak and powerless against your very own mind. And not only that but youâre certain itâs been affecting your boyfriendâs sleep as well which made you feel worse because he already had to wake up early for work and stayed up late grading papers.
Maybe you should move to the couch from now on so he could get a full nightâs rest for once.
âI think itâs time we consult a doctor,â Suga said gently, causing you to look over at him. He looked as exhausted as you felt but he still asked, âDo you want me to make you an appointment?â
Swallowing thickly and wiping your eyes, you nodded in agreement, this time whispering a soft, âYes.â
He then held open his arms, âWant me to hold you?â
You didnât even hesitate to crawl into his arms. Sugaâs presence always gave you great comfort after a bad dream. He pulled you close and you rested your head on his chest, listening to the rhythmic beating of his heart.
âCan we leave the lamp on?â You asked in a small voice, the thought of going back to sleep in the dark terrified you. As childish as it seemed, you felt safer in the light.
âOf course,â He kissed the top of your head and sighed softly, already feeling sleep trying to claim him again.
After some time, you closed your eyes too, and fell into a thankfully dreamless sleep.

Drunk Confessions (Flufftober 2023 Day 14)
Pairing: keishin ukai x female reader
WC: 678
Warnings: nudity (nothing explicit they shower together), mdni
Summary: you take care of your drunk boyfriend after a night out
Note: ukai is a big ole softie in this so ooc i guess? idc i love him
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was late at night on a Saturday and you were finishing grading your studentsâ quizzes when your front doorbell rang, startling you. You carefully padded to the door, not expecting company, and you checked the peephole before furrowing your brows. You opened the door to reveal your boyfriend Keishin Ukai standing there with a lazy grin on his face.
âDid you forget your key again?â You asked, letting him into your shared home. He had gone out with his friends for a drink, and judging by his somewhat clumsy gait, he mightâve drank a bit too much.
When you got the door closed, he wrapped your arms around your middle, bringing you to his chest.
âI wanna cuddle,â He declared.
âLet me finish grading these last few papers and Iâm all yours,â You replied, causing him to huff.
âBut I missed you,â Ukai pouted at you.
You giggled, âYou saw me a few hours ago.â
âI always miss you,â He buried his nose into your hair and inhaled deeply, âYou smell so good.â
âWell you need a shower,â You pointed out, wrinkling your nose at the smell of sweat and alcohol.
âYeah, yeah,â He let go of you and took hold of your hand, âJoin me?â
You knew you probably werenât going to get that grading done tonight, not when he was looking at you with the most prettiest pout. He would probably keep pestering until you said yes.
âWell I guess someone has to make sure you donât drown,â You agreed with a teasing smile.
And so you led your boyfriend to the bathroom where you quickly got the shower started, finding a comfortable temperature that you both liked. He undressed himself and got in, and you followed suit. You had already taken a shower so you focused solely on getting Ukai cleaned up. You helped him wash his hair, massaging his scalp the way he liked and he left featherlight caresses to your skin as you worked.
It wasnât sexual, and you didnât feel an ounce of embarrassment as he gazed at you so lovingly, like you had hung the stars themselves.Â
âDid you have fun?â You asked as you took a soapy washcloth and ran it over his chest.
He sighed at the feeling and nodded his head.
âI wish you couldâve come,â He said, and you cracked a smile. He was always so open and soft with you when he got like this. It was endearing.
âIâll go next time,â You promised.
âPromise?â
âPinky promise,â You held out your pinky to him, and he quickly circled his own around it. He then brought your hand closer to his lips and pressed a kiss to the back of it.
After he rinsed and dried off, you two made your way to the bedroom. He slipped under the cover and patted the space next to him as an invitation to join, which you did so happily.
A comfortable silence fell over you both and for a moment you thought he had already fallen asleep. It wouldnât shock you, heâs been working hard balancing his time between you, work, and both volleyball team practices. It must be exhausting.Â
âI canât wait to marry you,â Ukai mumbled suddenly as he snuggled into you, causing you to blink in surprise.
âYou want to marry me?â You repeated curiously. You had been dating for a bit, but this is the first time heâs even introduced the idea of marriage to you.
âMhm,â He nodded and pressed a sleepy kiss to your neck, âMy pretty little wife.â
Your heart fluttered at the confession. Even though he was drunk, you couldnât help but feel like he meant it.
âAnd when we have kids, youâre gonna be the best mom.â
Butterflies erupted in your stomach at that. He wanted a family with you too? Before you could let your imagination run wild, your gaze softened as quiet snores finally fell from his lips, signaling he was asleep.
âI canât wait to marry you too, Keishin,â You whispered back.
And you meant it.

Only One Bed (Flufftober 2023 Day 13)
Pairing: nahoya kawata x reader x souya kawata
WC: 1195
Warnings: none
Summary: a horror movie makes you too scared to sleep alone
Note: just some platonic snuggles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Souya and Nahoya were no strangers to staying the night at your house growing up. Whether it be spending time watching movies or playing games, by the end of the night you all would be passed out in sleeping bags in the living room. The sleepovers remained consistent well into your adulthood.
In fact, you three were so close that when Nahoya had the idea of opening up a ramen shop, he and Souya came to you to let you in on the partnership of owning the restaurant. The three of you became roommates on top of that, seeing how splitting the rent meant you could afford a better place. You each had your own room to sleep in, but you still spent the majority of your time together in the living room.
Tonight was movie night in the household. You were sitting on the couch in between the Kawata twins watching some horror film that Nahoya insisted on picking. And it was terrifying. The jumpscares were crazy good, the eerie soundtrack set the pace for tense scenes, and by the time it was over, you and Souya were clinging to each other out of sheer fright. Nahoya, on the other hand, looked less than impressed, even outright laughing at moments he found ridiculous.
âYou two gonna be okay?â The eldest twin asked when the end credits started to play.
You reluctantly parted from Souya with a nervous chuckle, âUh⌠yeah, of course.â
âIt wasnât that bad,â Souya tried to play it off too.
Nahoya stretched before standing up from the couch, âWell, in that case, Iâm ready for bed. That movie was so boring it almost put me to sleep.â
âAlready?â You asked, eyes widening at the thought of having to go to bed right after watching something scary.
Nahoya smiled knowingly, âYeah. You guys should go to bed too, we still have work tomorrow.â
Just at that moment, an after-credit jumpscare popped up on the screen with a loud scream, causing you and Souya to scream as well. Nahoya roared with laughter at your reactions.
âNot funny, Nahoya,â You glared at him, crossing your arms.
He quieted down, but still had a cheesy grin on his face as he shook his head. Then he bid you and his brother good night before disappearing down the hall to his room, leaving you and Souya to sit in silence, staring at the tv apprehensively.
âJust one cartoon,â You finally decided, picking up the remote, âThen weâll go to bed.â
Souya nodded quickly in agreement.
But later that night while you lay in bed, your blanket covering your face as you curled up in a fetal position, you realized that not even a light-hearted cartoon could save your mind from wandering back to that horrific film. You squeezed your eyes shut as you could hear the wind howl outside your window.
âThereâs nothing there, itâs just your imagination. Thereâs nothing there, itâs just your imaginationâ was the mantra running through your head. But as time ticked by, you were getting more and more anxious. You needed to get some sleep, you had to be at work by nine.
Swallowing your pride and picking up your pillow, you tiptoed down the hall to Nahoyaâs room. Despite the late hour, you could see the light was still on so you carefully opened his door and peeked your head inside. Your friend was lying in bed, scrolling through his phone with the lamp on his bedside table illuminating the room in a warm glow.
âNahoya?â You whispered, getting his attention as he looked over at you questioningly. You stepped further into the room and shut his door before walking to the side of his bed. Your cheeks warmed up in embarrassment as you asked, âCan I sleep in here tonight?â
âAw, are you too scared to sleep alone?â Nahoya teased, causing you to become even more flustered as you hugged your pillow to your chest.
âJust shut up and move over,â You muttered. With that stupid annoying smile, he did as you said and lifted the blankets so you could join him in bed. He plugged in his phone and put it away as you lay on your side, putting your pillow down before resting your head on it, already feeling comforted by the second presence.
âBetter?â Nahoya asked, flipping the lamp off and shifting until he was facing you.
âMhm,â You nodded, letting your eyes flutter shut, âThanks Nahoya.â
âAnything for you,â He replied easily, making you smile softly to yourself.
It wasnât long after that when you fell into a peaceful slumber.
~~~
You woke up feeling incredibly warm, vaguely aware of the two bodies sandwiching you in between them. Peeking your eye open, you realized that your cheek was smushed up against Nahoyaâs chest, your arm draped over his middle and your leg was hooked high around his waist. You remembered crawling into bed with Nahoya early on in the night, but what surprised you was how Souya was pressed up against your back, latching onto you like a koala. His arms snuck between your and his brotherâs bodies to hold you with his leg thrown over your other leg that wasnât wrapped around Nahoya. You figured he mustâve gotten freaked out too and had the same idea to seek comfort.
It was a little odd. Sure, youâve cuddled the twins before as you all lounged on the couch, but waking up in the same bed as them was a whole different situation. You werenât going to lie though, it was still just as comfortable.
âItâs about time you woke up. Iâve been trying to figure out how to get out of your death grip for ten minutes,â Nahoyaâs soft voice made you snap your eyes to his, seeing the gentle smile on his face despite his complaint.
âWhat time is it?â You mumbled quietly, not wanting to disturb Souya.
âLike, 6:30.â
You whined and buried your face deeper into Nahoyaâs chest, âI donât wanna get up. Iâm cozy.â
Nahoya exhaled sharply in amusement, his grin only growing. He brought his free hand that wasnât underneath you to rest on your arm that was on his stomach. He traced light patterns into your skin.
âI really do need to get up though, I gotta go really bad.â
With a reluctant sigh, you released the oldest twin from your grasp. He let out a quiet âyayâ and escaped the bed. Souyaâs hold on you tightened, groaning as the mattress moved. Giggling lightly, you tried to roll over, but the task was basically impossible with how he was embracing you. This mustâve been how Nahoya felt when you were holding him captive.
âSouya~â You attempted to wake him up, âCan I turn around?â
âMhm,â He murmured sleepily, finally giving you enough room to maneuver yourself until you were facing him. You snuggled into his chest now, this time throwing your arm over his side as he slotted one of his legs between yours with his arms still wrapped around you. Sighing with content, your eyes slid shut again basking in the warmth for as long as you could.

Sleepy Kiss (Flufftober 2023 Day 12)
Pairing: ran haitani x reader
WC: 223
Warnings: none
Summary: sleepy morning kisses with ran
Note: this may be super short but i wasn't sure how to expand upon it. still soft and sweet <3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Personally, you loved mornings like this, the ones where youâre curled up in bed with Ran and had nothing planned for the day. It was serene, the way the sun peeked through the curtains, bringing light into your room.
The best part was the sleepy kisses you shared.
They werenât rushed or heated, instead, they were languid yet just as addictive.
You were the first to wake up, and you couldnât help but admire your peacefully sleeping boyfriend. You felt so lucky to have him in your life. You smiled and found yourself pressing a light peck to his cheek, then to his other one, followed by three on his forehead and down his nose. You pressed featherlight kisses all over his face until finally stopping on his lips.
You hummed happily when Ran responded, having woken up to the flurry of kisses that you were bestowing upon him. He sighed as you swiped your tongue over his lower lip asking for entrance. Your tongues danced lazily with each other and when air became a necessity, you pulled away.
âGood morning,â You chirped.
âFive more minutes,â Ran mumbled, not bothering to open his eyes. You giggled lightly and snuggled closer to him, resting your head back onto his chest as he looped his arms around your waist.
Yeah, you loved mornings like this.

Insecurities (Flufftober 2023 Day 11)
Pairing: shinichiro sano x female reader
WC: 1254
Warnings: light angst? shinichiro is in his feels, hurt/comfort
Summary: shinichiro is feeling insecure about your relationship
Note: i just wanna give this man a hug so bad
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shinichiro liked you. He liked you so much that he was almost certain that it was love. You were his first serious relationship- actually, you were his first ever relationship. After twenty rejections in a row from other women, he thought it was a miracle that you said yes. You two have been together for a couple of months now and things have been going great. They have been the best months of his life.
Then why did he feel so depressed? Truth be told, he felt like he wasnât good enough for you. He believed you were so far out of his league and you deserved better. It was something his friends would always joke about and he couldnât help but begin to believe that they were right.
His thoughts became darker as they started circulating in his brain, making his insecurities grow.
âYouâre so lame.â
âWhat a total loser.â
âSheâs only dating you because she feels bad for you.â
That one really bothered him the most because his friends had told you about his past experience (or lack of) with women. At first, people thought Shinichiro had paid you to pretend to be his girlfriend out of desperation, but when they found out there was no such arrangement, they jumped to the conclusion that it was out of pity.
It all came to a head three days ago when you two had gone to a party for one of your friends. Even Shinichiro could see the chemistry between you and your friend was undeniable. It was a huge blow to his ego how you just laughed the guyâs obvious flirting off instead of telling the dude to leave you alone. Like, sure, you informed your friend that you had a boyfriend, but your friend just jokingly said âHe doesnât look like much competition.â
You left pretty shortly after that, apologizing to Shin for your friendâs behavior repeatedly. Logically, Shinichiro knew you wouldnât cheat on him. He trusted you wholeheartedly. But it still bugged him.
Instead of communicating all of this, however, he started withdrawing himself and spiraled into a depression. His texts with you turned to one-word answers and he used the excuse that he was busy as he locked himself into the shop, drowning himself in work to keep him busy. He was currently there right now, he didnât know what time it was, he just knew it was late.
When you entered the back where he was fiddling with a motorcycle, he didnât even light up like he usually did. Instead, his frown deepened.
âWhat are you doing here?â Shinichiro asked bluntly.
âMikey told me you havenât been feeling well,â You explained, âI thought I would check in. I brought takeout, itâs in the office.â
âMâfine. Not hungry.â He mumbled, continuing to work on the bike. You continued to observe him, picking up on his tense demeanor right away.
âYou donât have to lie to me. Iâm here if you need to talk, ya know,â You pointed out.
Shinichiro sighed, âI know.â
You pulled up a short stool to sit on and you nudged his shoulder. âCome on, if you keep your feelings bottled up itâll fester and make everything worse.â
He sighed again and stood up from his seat to move away from you. You watched him go over to his tool cabinet and put away his tools. Your boyfriend stood there for a moment, and you could tell he was fighting himself over something.
âWhy are you with me?â He finally asked. His voice was so quiet you almost missed it.
âBecause I love you,â You responded immediately.
Shinichiro turned to you looking upset. âBut why? Youâre so pretty and smart⌠and Iâm just a loser.â
âDonât talk about the love of my life like that,â You interrupted, âDonât let your brain lie to you.â
âBut itâs true,â He argued, âEveryone says it.â
Silence fell over you both as you tried to think of something to say. You were just so surprised that he felt that way. Couldnât you see how much you adored him?
âIf itâs any consolation, I think youâre pretty great,â You told him with a gentle tone, hoping to make him feel a little better.
Normally Shinichiro would be over the moon at this revelation, but his mind was just being so loud. So instead he scoffed bitterly and muttered, âYouâre just saying that.â
A look of hurt crossed your face and you stood up, coming closer until you were standing right in front of him.
âIâm not lying, Shin. I think youâre awesome!â You insisted. Then you lifted your hand and started counting on your fingers, âYouâre charismatic, handsome, funny, super caring, and passionate. I mean, whatâs not to love? Iâm really lucky that I get to call you my boyfriend, I donât know what Iâd do without you.â
Tears started to well up in Shinichiroâs eyes. He wanted to believe you, he really did. He could see the sincerity in your eyes and youâve never lied to him before. So why couldnât he believe it?
Your gaze softened as the first teardrop slid down his cheek. His lip quivered and he dropped his head as he hastily rubbed his eyes to stop the waterworks, but the tears kept falling. It made him beyond frustrated, he felt like such a loser crying in front of you like this.Â
But you didnât think any less of him. Watching him cry and look so broken made your own eyes water. You wished he could see himself the way you did. Shinichiro truly was an amazing guy to you. He was a genius when it came to motorbikes and the way he genuinely cared about his siblings and friends always warmed your heart. You loved every single thing about him and wouldnât change him for the world.Â
In a flurry of emotions, you surged forward and flung your arms around him, causing him to pause. You squeezed him tighter, hoping you could convey how much you loved him with such a simple gesture.
âI love you so much, Shin. Youâre so special to me and Iâll remind you every single day if I have to,â You promised, burying your head in his chest.
His eyes widened and he was certain you could hear his heart hammering in his chest. After the shock wore off, he quickly returned the hug. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, feeling more relaxed as your embrace released endorphins in his brain. God he really loved you.
âThank you,â Shinichiro said quietly, âI love you too.â
You pulled away slightly to look at him, âI mean it, Iâll always be here for you. Just talk to me and Iâll help. Weâre partners and partners communicate with each other; we work through it together. Promise youâll start doing that?â
âI promise,â His lips tilted up in a soft smile.
You then held up your pinky to him, âPinky promise?â
It was so childish, but he found it endearing, so he linked his pinky with yours and nodded in determination. With pinkies still intertwined, you leaned in for a soft kiss which he happily responded to.
You kept your promise and stayed by his side, beating back his insecurities with a stick. You quite literally reminded him every single day how much he meant to you, and he was sure to put in just as much effort. It didnât matter what anyone else said, Shinichiro loved you and you loved him.

Cooking Together (Flufftober 2023 Day 10)
Pairing: taiju shiba x reader
WC: 734
Warnings: none
Summary: what itâs like to cook with taiju
Note: i feel like cooking with a guy who owns multiple restaurants would be a nightmare not even gonna hold you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cooking together with Taiju Shiba was an impossible task. And when I say impossible, I mean it. He had a very strict method when it came to being in the kitchen, and honestly, you felt that you were just in the way more times than not when you tried to help. He wouldnât even let you chop the vegetables or boil the water without hovering over you in some way. Like, you understood that the guy ran multiple restaurants, but come on.
âBabe, I know what Iâm doing!â You finally snapped one evening as you cut some carrots, âTrust me.â
âI do trust you!â Taiju argued, â...But your knife technique could use a little work.â
You pointed the blade at him jokingly, âDo you really wanna say that to the person holding the knife?â
Taiju looked completely unfazed, âWill you just let me show you?â
You sighed heavily but handed the knife over and stepped to the side in order to give him free rein on the cutting board. Crossing your arms, you watched as he took your place. He shot you a thankful smile and got started right away.
âYouâre supposed to cut them lengthwise first,â Taiju instructed, âThen dice them like this.â
You nodded your head, trying really hard to find the will to care. But this was important to him, so you bit back your sarcastic remark. He finished dicing the rest of the carrots and then moved on to the onions. You figured you werenât going to get to chop up vegetables anytime soon.
With another sigh you picked up the peeler from the counter and held it up, âCan I at least peel the potatoes?â
He looked thoughtful for a moment, and you swore that if he said no you would scream, but then Taiju nodded his head.
âThat should be fine.â
With a breath of relief, you got to work right away. But after the first potato, your boyfriend was by your side again.
âYou know, thereâs a trick to peeling them more smoothly,â He commented casually.
âIs there now?â You grumbled with a huff.
âYeah, here, let me-â
âTouch my potatoes and Iâll throw one at your head,â You threatened, causing him to retract his hand. âJust tell me how to do it.â
âWell for one, you need to fix how youâre holding the potato,â Taiju explained.
âAnd just how am I holding it wrong?â You exclaimed in exasperation.
âYou need to firmly grasp it.â
âIâm grasping it as firmly as I can!â You protested, âItâs too big to get a proper grip!â At Taijuâs smirk, you squinted, realizing how that sounded out of context. Shaking your head, you said, âDonât you dare laugh, Iâm getting annoyed.â
âYouâre cute,â He replied with a slight chuckle, throwing you off guard.
Feeling your face heat up at the compliment, you shook your head again and pointed the peeler at him this time, âFlattery will get you nowhere. Iâm peeling these potatoes whether you like it or not! You just worry about dicing them.â
He put his hands up defensively, âAlright, alright.â
And so you both went back to working on your respective tasks. The silence that fell over the kitchen was actually peaceful for once. When you finished peeling, you decided that there was not much else for you to do but watch him take over. He quickly got the ingredients in the pot and while that was cooking he went ahead and started washing some of the dirty utensils that were used. You took the opportunity to come up behind him and wrap your arms around his middle.
âThanks for letting me help. Even if it was reluctant,â You told him, squishing your cheek against his back.
âI wouldnât say it was reluctant,â Taiju scoffed, drying his hands and turning in your hold.
Now facing him, you gave your boyfriend a blank stare, âYou literally took over chopping all of the vegetables.â
âYou peeled the potatoes,â He pointed out.
âOnly after I threatened you!â You argued. Then you groaned and buried your face into his chest, âYouâre lucky I love you.â
One of Taijuâs hands came to rest on the back of your head and the other on your back to hold you closer. You smiled when you felt him press a soft kiss to the top of your head in response as he murmured, âThat I am.â

Text Messages (Flufftober 2023 Day 9)
Pairing: kenma kozume x female reader
WC: 909
Warnings: a little cursing
Summary: a wrong number situation leads you to become friends with kenma
Note: i literally had NO clue what to do for this one, but i think i'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was late at night and Kenma was in the middle of a somewhat boring video game when his phone dinged, alerting him of a message. He paused to check, figuring it was Kuroo, but furrowed his brows at the unknown number. He read the message curiously and there was a picture attached.
Unknown: I completed the cosplay! How do I look? :)
Kenma blinked in surprise at the picture you sent. You looked good, really good. You were dressed in a sailor moon cosplay. Your makeup was perfect and your outfit looked like it was taken straight from the anime.
There was only one teensy problem.
He had no clue who the hell you were.
Kenma: the cosplay looks great, but um⌠do i know u?
Unknown: Itâs (Y/n)? Who is this?
Kenma: my name is kenmaÂ
He sent a selfie as proof.Â
(Y/n): âŚ
(Y/n): Well thatâs embarrassing. I guess I put in the wrong number
Kenma: sorry
He expected the conversation to be over with. But you surprised him when you sent another message.
(Y/n): Weird question, wanna still chat? Iâm bored >~<
He blinked twice, then hummed in thought before typing out his reply.
Kenma: i donât see why not
Over time, texting you became a daily occurrence. You both talked about anything and everything- your lives, your dreams, games, all of it. You sent each other memes and pictures of cats and he found himself looking forward to your messages.
He found out you were a second-year like him, and you went to Karasuno. In fact, you were involved as a manager of the boysâ volleyball team. He told you he was a setter for Nekoma and you thought that was pretty cool, even joking that maybe one day your teams will play against each other.
âHey, can I borrow your phone? Mineâs dead,â Kuroo said one day before practice.
âYeah sure,â Kenma handed over his phone and continued playing his nintendo.
Kuroo thanked him and it fell silent as he sent the text to his mom telling him to use Kenmaâs phone to get ahold of him. As he waited for a response, Kenmaâs phone dinged and a notification popped up that caused Kuroo to furrow his brows.
âWhoâs (Y/n)?â
Kenma nearly dropped his nintendo upon hearing your name. With eyes wide, he reached over to snatch the phone back, but Kuroo was too quick and moved away from his friend. He hadnât told Kuroo about you for the very specific reason of not wanting to be teased.
âHey sheâs pretty cute,â He commented, clicking the picture you sent.
âGive that back!â Kenma shouted.
Not expecting such a visceral reaction out of his friend, Kuroo connected the dots rather quickly, âOh my god, do you have a secret girlfriend?â
This caught the rest of the teamâs attention rather quickly. And they watched as Kenma struggled with Kuroo over the cell. Kenmaâs face grew hot at the accusation.
âN-no! Itâs not like that!â He vehemently denied.
âWhy are you getting so defensive then?â Kuroo asked with a teasing smirk, âYou like her~!â
âI never thought Iâd see the day when Kenma Kozume has a crush!â Yaku called out.
âShut up!â Kenma hissed, finally succeeding in taking the phone back.
His cheeks continued to burn when he saw the picture: it was just you showing off your makeup but you looked so cute as always that it made his heart skip a beat.
âWoah dude, your girlfriendâs hot,â Yamamoto commented, looking over his short friendâs shoulder.
âItâs not like that!â Kenma repeated, clutching the phone to his chest to hide it.
âYou mean sheâs single?â Yamamoto asked with a hopeful tone.
Kenma glared at his teammate, who shrunk away from the harsh look.
âNevermind.â
Just then, Coach Nekomata was calling for their attention, telling them that the practice was starting.
~~~
(Y/n): ARE YOU GONNA BE AT THE CAMP
Kenma: why are you yelling
(Y/n): BECAUSE IâM EXCTIED
(Y/n): *ECXITED
Kenma: you still spelled it wrong
(Y/n): FUCK
You sent several crying emojis and he smiled at your overdramatic response.
Kenma: to answer your previous question, yeah iâll be there :)
Kenma: weâre on our way now
(Y/n): YAY
Kenma chuckled and continued to text you.
âLet me guess, your precious (Y/n)?â Kurooâs teasing voice brought Kenma out of his thoughts as he was nudged lightly by his friend.
Kenma rolled his eyes, but he nodded anyway, âUh-huh.â
âSo when are we going to get to meet her?â Kuroo questioned.
âSheâs going to be at the practice game,â Kenma explained quietly, âSheâs one of their managers.â
âReally?â Kurooâs eyes lit up, âYou must be excited then.â
Kenma bit his lip and looked out the window to avoid his friendâs gaze. He had to admit that he was pretty excited, but he was also getting nervous. It would be the first time he would be seeing you in person, and the thought was nerve-wracking. Would you guys click like you do through a screen? What would happen if you didnât? Would you stop talking to him?
Kuroo picked up on Kenmaâs growing stress.
âRelax, itâll be fun,â He ruffled Kenmaâs hair affectionately, ultimately putting a stop to all the worrying thoughts.
âYeah,â Kenma agreed in that soft tone of his.
He continued to gaze out the window, wondering about you. And he wondered if you were thinking about him too.

First Kiss (Flufftober 2023 Day 8)
Pairing: takashi mitsuya x female reader
WC: 578
Warnings: none
Summary: short drabble about you and mitsuya sharing your first kiss
Note: it's super short and probably could've been better but oh well
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âTruth or dare, (Y/n)?â Emma asked.
You were currently having a sleepover with Hinata and Emma, the latter being the one who came up with the brilliant idea of playing the game.
âTruth.â
Emma hummed thoughtfully for a moment before asking, âWhat was your first kiss like?â
âIâŚâ You felt heat rise to your cheeks as you looked away, and you cleared your throat awkwardly, âI havenât had my first kiss yet.â
âReally?â Hinata tilted her head curiously.
âDidnât you start dating Mitsuya two months ago?â Emma asked, also surprised.
Your face grew hotter and you nodded shyly, âWeâre taking things slow.â
âWell thereâs nothing wrong with that,â Hinata shrugged with a kind smile, âItâll happen when it happens.â
Emma nodded in agreement and just like that the subject was changed as you moved on with the game.
But that didnât mean the question left your mind.
The fact that you had never been kissed before used to not bother you, but lately youâve found yourself thinking about it more and more. Sure, you and Mitsuya agreed not to rush things, but you were starting to get antsy. You tried not to let self-deprecating thoughts sneak in, along with trying not to worry about whether he even wanted to kiss you in the first place.
Logically, you knew Mitsuya wasnât a mind reader, so itâs not like he knew you were waiting for him to make the first move.
So you started thinking of ways to communicate exactly how to bring it up. Because after thinking about it, you decided that you really wanted to kiss your boyfriend. The opportunity arose when you two went on your next date. He picked you up with his motorcycle and you guys rode to a park, where Mitsuya had a little picnic planned.
You loved spending time with him like this; he was always so thoughtful and it really was the little things that made you fall for him. The fact that he always checked up on you, sent you good morning and good night messages, and gave you flowers, all of it.
Together you sat side by side on a blanket and watched the sunset- well, Mitsuya was watching the sunset, but you were watching him. The skyâs golden hue was washing over him in a breathtaking way.
âYouâre staring,â He commented, and your eyes flickered to his lips as they moved.
âI canât help it,â You shrugged, sending him a smile, âYouâre just too pretty.â
Mitsuya shook his head with a laugh, âWell thank you, but I think I should be saying that to you.â
You hummed and leaned your head on his shoulder.
âI love you, Takashi,âÂ
âI love you too,â He replied without hesitation, and it made your heart flutter. It felt right to say and hear those words.
You lifted your head up again and made a choice, âHey Takashi?â
âHm?â He was looking at you with the kindest lavender eyes and you knew that you didnât have to worry about what you were going to ask.
âCan I kiss you?â
He smiled softly and nodded his head. Then he reached up and placed his hand on your cheek to bring your face closer to his. And with one last look of adoration, he closed the distance.
Your first kiss with Mitsuya was everything you imagined it to be. It was soft and sweet and you knew right then that it wouldnât be your last.

Meddling Friends (Kids) (Flufftober 2023 Day 7)
Pairing: shinichiro sano x female reader
WC: 1440
Warnings: none
Summary: shinichiro is lonely so emma, mikey, and izana take matters into their own hands
Note: idk how dating apps work but this idea was just too cute to pass up
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âHow tall is he?â Emma asked as she, Mikey, and Izana stared at the bio page of the dating app they downloaded on their older brother Shinichiroâs phone. They were currently huddled on the couch as they discussed it seriously.
âLike, six feet,â Mikey responded.
Emma hummed thoughtfully before typing, âIâll put six foot two.â
âBut thatâs lying,â Izana argued.
âItâs for Shinâs sake,â Emma defended, âNow I need some interests, uhâŚâ
âMotorcycles,â The three teenagers said at the same time and Emma diligently typed it out. Then she sat back thoughtfully, âIs that really all he has going for him?â
âPretty much,â Mikey shrugged.
Emma shook her head, âWeâve gotta come up with something else⌠How about âI like to take long walks in the park and enjoy natureâ or something like that?â
âBut thatâd be even more lying,â Izana sighed.
âDo you want him to get a girlfriend or not?â Emma snapped, âThis is Shinâs only hope, so we have to make him look good.â
âPut âloves kidsâ, some ladies like that stuff,â Mikey added, âAnd itâs true.â
Emma agreed and put it down, âNow all we need are some pictures.â
She went through his selfies and found the best photos of their older brother and added them to the profile. Then she smiled in satisfaction as she hit the finish button.
âAlright, itâs done!â
âWhatâs done?â Shinichiroâs voice sounded from the doorway causing the three siblings to jump in fright.
Emma was the first to recover as she proudly held out the phone, âYour dating profile!â
âIâve been looking everywhere for this thing,â Shinichiro said as he took the phone back, then his sisterâs words registered, âWait, what dating profile?â
He looked down and his eyes widened at the sight of the dating app that hadnât been there before.
âWe took the liberty of making you one,â Izana explained, âYouâre welcome.â
âWell Iâm deleting it,â Shinichiro replied.
âNo!â Emma tried to take the cell back, but he held it high in the air out of her reach. Mikey had the perfect solution and jumped on his older brotherâs back, wrestling him to the floor as it became an all-out brawl for the phone. Just then his cell dinged with a notification, causing everyone to perk up.
Emma gasped excitedly, âSomeoneâs interested!â
âReally?â Shinichiro couldnât keep the delight out of his tone as he sat up and looked back down at the device. He clicked on the notification and the dating app showed your bright smiling face. He made a noise, sounding impressed.
âSheâs cute,â Mikey commented, peeking over his shoulder to see your picture.
Emma quickly scanned your bio and gasped again, âShe sounds perfect for you!â
âYou think?â Shinichiro found himself asking as he also looked over your information. âWell what do I do?â
âI think you swipe to match,â Izana explained, taking the phone and doing just that. Then he handed it back and continued, âThen you just message her.â
âMessage her?â Shinichiro repeated in surprise, âWhat would I even say?â
âWell most people start with a hello,â Izana said like it was obvious.
âNo! Do a joke! Show her youâre funny!â Emma advised.
âIs he though?â Mikey questioned blankly.
âI can be funny,â Shinichiro argued, furrowing his brows.
Before he could think of something to say, you sent the first message.Â
âIs that her? Whatâd she say?â Emma asked.
âShe said âheyâ with a smiley face,â Shinichiro answered, âQuick what do I say?â
âJust say it back,â Mikey shrugged, âCome on, youâve held a conversation before.â
Ignoring that last part, Shinichiro did just that and soon you were replying.
That was the start of many messages shared between you and Shin. You two seemed to hit it off really well and had quite a bit in common. He found your mannerisms endearing and just genuinely enjoyed talking to you.
However, after about a month, Shinichiro still had yet to ask you on a date, the whole reason why the younger Sano siblings downloaded the app in the first place. Which is exactly what led them to take matters into their own hands once more.
âHave you guys seen my phone?â Shinichiro asked one day as he walked into the living room only to see Emma, Mikey, and Izana huddled around it again. âWhat are you doing?â
âTalking to (Y/n),â Emma replied nonchalantly, being the one actually holding the device.
âWhat?! With my phone? Did you at least tell her it was you?â
âNo,â Mikey answered bluntly, and before Shinichiro could get his phone back, the phone dinged with a message.
Emma read it first and squealed excitedly, âShe said yes!â
Shinichiro was lost, âYes? Yes to what?â
Emma simply handed his phone over to her older brother with a smug smile on her face. âYou have a date tomorrow!â
âYou didnât,â Shinichiro sounded breathless as he snatched the phone out of her hands. His heart was pounding in his chest as he looked over the messages of them asking you out by pretending to be him and you enthusiastically agreeing.
âItâs at the zoo at ten oâclock tomorrow morning,â Izana explained.
âYouâre welcome,â Mikey added.
Shinichiro didnât know what to do or say. Itâs not like he could cancel the date because he didnât want to seem like he wasnât interested- he was very interested. He was just surprised you said yes.
So Shinichiro sucked it up and decided that he would make it the best date ever.
The next morning you both met up at the train station and made your way to the zoo. You were wearing a cute outfit and Shinichiro just put on a pair of nice jeans with a crisp white shirt that Emma insisted he ironed.
The date was going a lot smoother than Shinichiro thought it would go, much to his relief. You both laughed and joked as you went around to see the animals. There was even a point where you took the initiative and started holding his hand.
Finally, you suggested stopping somewhere for lunch which he agreed. You found a nice little restaurant and were currently waiting for your food.
âSo is there a reason weâre being tailed by three kids wearing sunglasses, all pretending to read a newspaper?â You asked lowly out of nowhere, startling him.
Shinichiro furrowed his brows and you subtly nodded your head to the side, gesturing to a table not too far away. And sure enough, when he looked over he saw Mikey, Emma, and Izana sitting at the table, peeking over a big newspaper while wearing sunglasses. When they noticed they had been caught, they quickly ducked their heads behind the paper.
âThey stick out like a sore thumb,â Shinichiro felt a wave of irritation as his eye twitched. They really donât trust him to do anything, huh?
âI take it you know them?â You asked as you took a sip of your drink.
âThose are my siblings I was telling you about,â He replied with a huff.
âThe ones that made your profile?â You tipped your lips up into a teasing smile, âAnd asked me out for you?â
Shinichiro buried his face in his hands and groaned, âYes.â
You started giggling despite his distress.
âItâs not funny,â He whined, peeking at you through his fingers which made you laugh harder.
âItâs hilarious,â You responded, then when you gained some semblance of control, you grinned at him, âAnd actually really sweet. It just shows that they care about you.â
At this, Shinichiro lowered his hands, âYouâre not weirded out?â
âNah,â You shook your head, then you shrugged, âDo you wanna invite them to join us?â
âBut what about our date?â He questioned.
âDo you want to spend the rest of our date being watched like zoo animals?â You countered, âCome on, itâll be a nice bonding experience.â
Shinichiro felt a soft smile grow on his face, âYouâre so cool.â
âI know,â You said sweetly.
And so you and Shinichiro invited the three teens to join you. They didnât seem the slightest bit guilty for crashing your date as they immediately started asking you all sorts of questions to get to know you better. Shinichiro watched in fascination and adoration as you clicked with his siblings without hesitation.
They suggested going to the aquarium which was nearby and you walked with Shinichiro, holding his hand and laughing as Emma, Mikey, and Izana started pointing out fishes that they claimed looked like their older brother. Despite all the teasing, Shinichiro felt so grateful towards his younger siblings for meddling in his love life and leading him right to you.

Holding Hands (Flufftober 2023 Day 6)
Pairing: kei âtsukkiâ tsukishima x female reader
WC: 906
Warnings: none
Summary: just a short and sweet scenario involving tsukki holding your hand
Note: thereâs nothing really to add, no thoughts only tsukki
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kei Tsukishima has been your best friend for as long as you can remember. You, him, and Tadashi Yamaguchi were practically inseparable growing up. So it came as no surprise to you when you started developing feelings towards Tsukki.
Being with the bespectacled boy was second nature to you despite his cold and calculating personality. What surprised you was how he reciprocated your feelings, having actually been the one to confess to you during your last year of middle school.
You accepted happily and thus began your relationship, which might not seem like your typical relationship to outsiders. He still teased you like he would anyone else, but donât worry, you always served it right back to him.
To be completely honest, with the way you two acted, most people didnât even know you were together.
And itâs not like you guys were keeping it a secret either, you were both just too lazy to âannounceâ it to the world. You both knew you were dating and thatâs all that mattered.
Tadashi knew of course, and he was ecstatic for you both. In fact, heâs the one who would talk about it more than you and Tsukki did- always suggesting date ideas that he would inevitably tag along. It was kind of endearing.
You all were now in your first year of high school and you were a manager in training like Yachi for the Karasuno volleyball team.
âHurry up! Weâre going to be late for school!â You exclaimed to Tsukki as you both walked to school with Tadashi.
âCalm down, (Y/n/n). We still have plenty of time,â Tadashi reminded you, âWhat are you in such a hurry for anyways?â
âSheâs just anxious about that test today. But itâs not like getting there early is going to make it happen any faster,â Tsukki rolled his eyes. Tadashi nodded in understanding.
âIf we get there early, then I can go over those flashcards one more time,â You said like it was obvious.
âBut youâve been studying crazy hard this entire week!â Tadashi protested, âIâm sure you know everything by now.â
Before you could reply, Tsukki spoke up, âHeâs right, youâve done nothing but stress about it. I mean, youâve hardly slept. Which is why Iâm not letting you touch those cards when we get to class. Let someone who actually needs them use them, like Tadashi.â
âHey!â Tadashi snapped.
âAre you trying to inhibit my academic career?â You argued.
âIâm prioritizing your mental health,â He countered.
It was then that you felt Tsukki slip his hand into yours as he tugged you closer to him, the both of you coming to a stop.
âLook at me,â Tsukki stared hard at you and reached out with his free hand to flick your forehead, âYouâre going to do fine on this test. Youâre smart. Stop worrying so much.â
You looked up at your boyfriend with wide eyes, he looked completely serious as if daring you to argue with him about it. But you didnât. Instead, you found yourself nodding along, a determined smile making its way onto your face.
âYouâre right,â You said.
âI know I am,â Tsukki replied, continuing to walk once more, this time with your hands interlocked.
Your smile grew, feeling a little lighter now thanks to Tsukkiâs words of encouragement.Â
~~~
School and volleyball practice passed fairly quickly, causing you to breathe a sigh of relief. You were ready to go home.
Tsukki mustâve been feeling particularly touchy-feely today because the minute you both stepped out of the gym he laced his fingers with yours as you walked to the corner store for a snack. It made your heart flutter because typically it was you who initiated contact.
âHey guys- AH! Tsukki and (Y/n) are holding hands!â Hinata yelled when you caught up with the team at the corner store, pointing at your laced fingers. He bounded over and circled you two once, studying you both curiously.
âWell duh, theyâre dating,â Tadashi explained with a knowing smile on his face.
âWhat?!â Came the chorus of exclamations from your friends.
âFor how long?â Kageyama demanded with a suspicious squint, annoyed that Tsukki of all people somehow managed to get a girlfriend.
âOur one year anniversary is actually next week,â You smiled sweetly, giving Tsukkiâs hand a squeeze.
âBut⌠youâre so nice,â Hinata came to stand in front of you again, looking at you like youâve grown an extra head as he scrunched his nose, âWhy are you dating Tsukki?â
You offered a one-sided shrug, âBecause I like him and he makes me happy. Why else?â
âHow? He says super mean things, like, all the time and-â Hinata suddenly started cowering, being cut off by Tsukkiâs glare and menacing aura.
âLike I said, he makes me happy,â You repeated, stepping closer to Tsukki and leaning into his side. He seemed to relax a little at your reassurance.
âYeah, no, Iâm not buying it,â Tanaka shook his head and crossed his arms, âBlink twice if youâre being forced into this relationsh- ow!â
He rubbed the spot on his head that had been harshly smacked by Daichi.
âWeâre happy for you guys, really,â The captain said with a comforting smile of his own.Â
You grinned back and after a little more chatting you, Tsukki, and Tadashi departed from the group to head home, with Tsukkiâs hand snuggly fit into your own like the most perfect puzzle piece.

Birthday (Flufftober 2023 Day 5)
Pairing: hakkai shiba x female reader
WC: 579
Warnings: none
Summary: no one showed up to your birthday party except one other person
Note: hakkai is so precious i wanted to write something for him <3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Birthdays were dumb.
Why?
Because right now you were sitting at a picnic table by yourself celebrating yours on your own. Not a single person you invited had showed up to your party; all the ones that had told you yes had texted you various reasons as to why they couldnât come as you were getting set up at the park: something unexpected popped up, or they fell ill, or they were just too busy.
You had believed them, that is, until you were scrolling through social media when you stumbled across the popular kidâs profile and they had posted a photo of them celebrating their birthday with all the people that couldnât come to yours. That solidified your thoughts on birthdays being the dumbest thing in the world.
Your eyes filled with tears and you dropped your head on the table. There was a lot of pizza and cupcakes but you couldnât bring yourself to eat. It was a blow to your ego, that much was for sure, and you felt like the lamest person in the world as you sat there, your sniffles and the sounds of nature being the only thing to break the silence.
âI donât think you're supposed to cry on your birthday,â A guyâs voice startled you from your pity party.
Looking up, you saw a tall teenager you recognized from your class as Hakkai Shiba. He was a shy boy that didnât talk much to you, but you had still invited him to your party because he was nice and you didnât want him to feel left out. He hadnât given you a definitive answer on whether he would come, but here he was with a small present in hand. You were surprised, to say the least.
Hakkai then looked around and asked in a curious tone, âAm I early?â
At this, you wiped your eyes and shook your head, âItâs just us. Everyone else went to a different party.â
âOh,â Was all he said before adding with a light shrug, âWell Iâm here.â
You cracked a small smile, saying quietly, âIâm glad you could come. It means a lot.â
Hakkai took a seat next to you with a smile of his own as he held out the small box. He looked sheepish as he explained, âItâs not much, but I got you this.â
You took it from him and gingerly removed the wrapping. It was a jewelry box and when you opened it, your mouth dropped open in shock. Inside was a bracelet made of colorful glass beads and dangling from it was a little butterfly charm.
âOh wow,â You looked at it in awe, lifting it up from the box to get a closer look. Then you slipped the bracelet around your wrist, your smile growing as it fit perfectly. âI love it.â
Hakkai released a small breath of relief, âI didnât know what you liked, but I saw it and thought of you.â
Your happiness overtook you and you gave him a quick hug as you thanked him. When you pulled away, his cheeks were dusted a light pink, clearly flustered by your actions.
âSorry, I just got excited,â You apologized quickly, feeling a little embarrassed yourself.
He looked away and cleared his throat, âItâs fine. Iâm just glad you like it.â
It fell silent for a moment and your gaze landed on the pizza and cupcakes, realizing that it was way too much for just the two of you. Tilting your head, you looked over at Hakkai and asked, âYou wouldnât happen to know anyone who would want some free food would you?â
Hakkai looked at the food, humming in thought, âI could text my sister and Taka-chan if you want.â
Grinning brightly, you nodded your head, âThe more the merrier.â
And so Hakkai sent a message to his older sister, Yuzuha. She answered right away saying that sheâd be there in about ten minutes. While you waited, you and Hakkai spent the time getting to know each other better. When Yuzuha showed up, she brought with her another boy that went by Mitsuya, or Taka-chan as Hakkai had called him.
Being with the three of them was a lot of fun and you couldnât remember the last time you laughed so much. Hakkai really saved the day and for that, you were grateful. You even exchanged numbers with him so you could start making plans to hang out again. By the time it was over, you felt like it had been the best birthday you ever had.

Fireworks (Flufftober 2023 Day 4)
Pairing: keisuke baji x female reader
WC: 1258
Warnings: like, two curse words and baji may be a little ooc but idc
Summary: baji wants to go to the festival with you to see the fireworks
Note: i thought i would write something short and sweet for baji because he deserves it <3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âThe summer festival?â You questioned when a poster was shoved in your face.
You were currently sitting on a park bench with your friends when Baji ran up with the advertisement in his hand.
âYep!â Baji lowered the paper to show his grinning face, âItâs tomorrow.â
âAnd?â You raised a brow.
âAnd we should go!â Baji exclaimed like it were obvious.
âThat sounds fun,â Mikey commented.
âYeah well, you guys tell me how it goes,â You hummed, âBecause I canât come.â
âWhat? Why? You always go with us to festivals,â Baji furrowed his brows, giving you a pout.
You shrugged nonchalantly and simply replied, âIâve got a date tomorrow.â
âWith what?â Baji sounded appalled. You rolled your eyes and scoffed, but answered him anyway.
âHis name is Yuta, and he asked me to go out to dinner with him. Heâs pretty cute so I accepted.â
âWhy donât you bring him along?â Mikey questioned, âYou can always meet up after, right?â
âNo, you guys will just scare him off,â You immediately declined.
Baji genuinely looked bummed that you already had plans, and your heart squeezed uncomfortably at the thought of upsetting him. He was right, you two would always go to festivals together; your favorite part was watching the fireworks. You briefly considered canceling your date, but you quickly shot down the thought, thinking that your crush on Baji was exactly why you needed to go on this date. You had to get over it.
Even as the subject changed, you tried to ignore your growing guilt every time you made eye contact with him. He definitely wasnât hiding the fact he was upset by the news of your date, and the thought alone made your heart flutter.
~~~
Stood up. You couldnât believe your rotten luck. It was the next evening and you were at the restaurant you were supposed to meet your date. You were all dressed up and looking nice and then got stood up by the stupid guy. After several voicemails and unanswered text messages that were getting increasingly more aggravated, you decided to cut your losses and go home.
It was on your way home that you passed by the park where they were holding the summer festival Baji was so excited about. Deciding to take a quick detour, you wandered among the booths.
Your eyes scanned the crowd, but you didnât see anyone you recognized to rescue you from this lousy night. Figures.
âYou there! You look like you could use a pick-me-up! Why not try your hand at winning a prize?â A vendor at the ring toss booth called for your attention. You opened your mouth to politely turn him down, but then you stopped, thinking why the hell not, one game couldnât hurt.
You paid for one game and the vendor gave you three rings while explaining the rules. The game was a lot harder than it looked as you missed your first two shots right off the bat.
You looked at the last ring in your hand and thought that if you didnât make this then it was a sign for you to go home.
Readying your stance, you took a deep breath, concentrating all of your energy into this one ring to land on a stupid milk bottle.
âDonât miss!â An obnoxious voice shouted right as you tossed the last ring at the bottle. You scowled as it bounced off the milk bottle with a light âtink!â and you turned to see Baji doubled over in laughter as Mikey giggled next to him.
After the boys were through with their chuckle fest, Baji straightened up and smirked, âStand back (Y/n/n), lemme show you how a pro does it.â
âIt was literally your fault that I missed,â You crossed your arms but stepped aside as Baji paid for three rings.
âSo whatâre you doing here? I thought you had a date?â Mikey asked as he looked around like he was expecting your mysterious date to show up.
You scoffed, âYeah so did I.â
âAh,â Mikey nodded in understanding, then he frowned, âWell that sucks.â
âYeah well,â You clicked your tongue and shook your head in annoyance, âThings happen.â
âWant me to kick his ass?â Baji questioned, having tossed all three rings and won a decently sized colorful stuffed rabbit that he now held in his arms.
You sighed and shook your head again, âNah, itâs really not worth it. He obviously didnât think so.â
Baji began animating the rabbit and brought it closer to your face as he spoke in his best squeaky voice, âWell who needs that loser anyways when you got me~â
You couldnât contain your laughter as he pretended to make the plushie kiss your cheek repeatedly. You only stopped when Baji rested it on top of your head, seeming satisfied now. With a curious glance, you took hold of it and held it in your arms.
âKeep it,â Baji grinned before you could ask, âHe likes you better anyway.â
âOh,â You hugged the rabbit to your chest, feeling heat bloom over your cheeks, âThanks, Keisuke.â
âLetâs get something to eat,â Mikey said suddenly, âIâm starving.â
âGood idea,â You agreed.
And so the three of you enjoyed the rest of the festival, trying different foods and games. Around the halfway mark you and Baji lost Mikey who wandered off with Smiley and Angry who had joined you for a brief moment.
âIâve had a lot of fun tonight,â You hummed as you two walked to find a spot to watch the fireworks that would be happening soon.
âWell Iâd say being with me is a lot better than being on some lousy date playing twenty-one questions with a guy you barely know,â Baji pointed out.
âCareful Baji, someone might think youâre jealous,â You replied somewhat jokingly.
A silence fell over you both as you found a picnic table to sit at. Then Baji spoke up in an unusually quiet voice, âWhat if I am?â
Your eyes widened at this admission, âI- you⌠What?â
Baji shrugged, âSo what if I was jealous? What would you do?â
âIâŚâ You hesitated slightly before settling on the truth, âI would probably kiss you.â
âProbably?â He raised a brow, but you could see the playful smirk make its way back onto his face.
âYeah maybe,â You felt your cheeks heat up again and looked away, offering a halfhearted shrug.
Baji took his two fingers and brought them under your chin to encourage you to look at him. Your breath caught in your throat at how close his face was to yours now and you were certain he could hear your heart pounding, threatening to beat out of your chest.
âI think Iâd like that,â He whispered. Your eyes fluttered shut as he leaned in, finally closing the distance and pressing his lips gently against yours.
It was everything you imagined and more as he moved his lips slowly, pouring every ounce of passion into the kiss like it would be the only one you would ever share. But with the sparks you were feeling, you knew it wouldnât be the last.
He only pulled away when you heard a big distant âboom!â and both of you looked up at the night sky to see bright fireworks exploding, painting the darkness with a variety of colors.
Baji grinned and wrapped an arm around your shoulder to bring you closer to him, and you got comfortable by leaning into his touch. Watching the fireworks together was the perfect way to end the night.

Fake Dating (Flufftober 2023 Day 3)
Pairing: kazushi yamagishi x female reader
WC: 551
Warnings: none really
Summary: your friend yamagishi pretends to be your boyfriend to rescue you from a creep at the bar
Note: i had a completely different story ready but didn't like how it was turning out so i came up with this drabble instead before time ran out, hope you enjoy because i love yamagishi so much
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âThat creep wonât stop looking at me,â You thought to yourself, feeling a sense of uneasiness wash over you as some guy from across the room stared at you. You were currently standing at the bar of a club by yourself, waiting for your drink.
You were here with a few of your friends, but they were all either dancing or chatting, leaving you to your own devices. They had chosen to come here to unwind after college exams, you wanted to have fun too, but the club scene wasnât really your thing. And this was exactly why.
You sighed when the stranger started making his way over. Now you were going to have to pretend to enjoy this conversation.Â
âWhatâs a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?â Was the first thing out of his mouth and you wanted to gag. Right away you could tell his vibes were going to be absolutely rancid.
âMy friends wanted to come,â You explained, making sure he knew you werenât alone. Unfortunately, that didnât deter him.
âHow about I buy you a drink?â He offered, trying to be smooth.
âI already ordered one,â You declined politely.
âThen why donât I join you? Iâm a great conversationalist,â The guy made you want to roll your eyes.
âI have a boyfriend,â The words fell from your mouth before you could think. You wished you could just tell him to leave you alone without fearing that he was one of those creeps.
He stepped closer, a smirk on his face, âIâm sure he wouldnât mind if we just chatted.â
Before you could retort, someone sidled up next to you and slipped their hand around your waist, âActually he would mind.â
You immediately relaxed as you looked at your close friend Kazushi Yamagishi, who was glaring daggers at the creep. He mustâve seen how uncomfortable you were and decided to rescue you by pretending to be the boyfriend in question. Now, Yamagishi wasnât the most intimidating dude, but the creep definitely tensed. He quickly apologized and made a hasty retreat.
When you got your drink, Yamagishi guided you back to the table you and your friend group had claimed. He let you slide into the booth first before sitting next to you. Your eyes met the strangerâs once more and you quickly held onto Yamagishiâs hand to play into the fake dating bit, lacing your fingers together.
âThank you,â You said quietly, pecking his cheek for good measure.
âNo problem,â He responded as he picked up your drink to steal a sip.
You pouted at him, âHey, thatâs mine.â
âThink of it as a boyfriend tax,â Yamagishi replied with a smirk, causing your face to heat up. It wasnât the first time Yamagishi had flirted with you, but to hear him call himself your boyfriend really made your heart stutter.
âYouâre such a dork,â You huffed in faux annoyance.
âYou love me and you know it,â He responded back confidently.
Your other friend Makoto, who was also at the table, scoffed as he muttered, âFor godâs sake just makeout already.â
Yamagishi waggled his brows at you, âGladly.â
You actively rolled your eyes this time, but a shy smile graced your lips. Letâs just say that the pretend boyfriend didnât stay pretend for very long.

(Bad) First Impressions (Flufftober 2023 Day 2)
Pairing: atsushi âakkunâ sendo x female reader (platonic)
WC: 740
Warnings: cursing, petname (princess), reader punches akkun in the nose (mentions of blood)
Summary: your first meeting with akkun doesnât go so well
Note: so i originally wrote this for an oc of mine but i turned it into x reader just because. it's something i thought was funny and fit in with the theme of how these stupid kids meet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your first impression of your friend Atsushi Sendo was not⌠the best to say the least. Your first meeting was under less than spectacular conditions that, when looked back on, caused you to cringe.
Youâre Takemichiâs twin sister, (Y/n) Hanagaki. If there was one word to describe you, it would be protective, maybe a little overprotective. Especially when it came to matters regarding your brother Takemichi. He was always a bit of a crybaby and you felt the need to watch over him.
So when Takuya and Takemichi met up with you at the park after school, the latter sporting a fresh black eye and a bloody lip courtesy of some guy he looked at wrong during the entrance ceremony, to say you were pissed was an understatement.Â
You didnât even let them finish their story before you were demanding he point out this âAkkunâ. And it was your lucky day because he just so happened to be approaching the park with two other boys. He had red hair that was styled in a dumb-looking pompadour and his hands were in his pockets as he walked.
âHey!â You barked, marching right up to the boy and pushing his shoulder hard to get his attention.
â(Y/n)-!â Takemichiâs eyes widened as he ran after her.
âYou got a death wish or something?â Akkunâs tall friend with slicked-back black hair asked, stepping forward.
âCan it, string bean,â You pointed at him. He was thrown off by the fire in your eyes and he promptly fell silent.
You then pointed at the redhead, âYouâve got some fucking nerve thinking you can mess with him.â You jerked your thumb towards Takemichi.
Akkun simply rolled his eyes, âOh yeah? What are you gonna do about it princess?â
You fumed, taking a step closer and getting in his face, âIf you wanna fight so bad, you take it up with me! Then weâll see how much you wanna laugh after I kick your ass!â
â(Y/n)-â Takuya tried to grab your elbow and pull you back, but you yanked it from him and stood your ground.
The boy you were threatening scoffed, âI donât hit girls.â
âNeither do I,â You snarked, âBut for you, Iâll make an exception.â
And as quick as lightning, you shot your fist out in a right hook, sucker-punching him straight in the face. He staggered backward, clutching his nose with a surprised shout and you stepped forward to grab him by the collar. His nose was bleeding and he looked dazed.
âIf you ever try to mess with my brother again, I will make you regret ever being born,â You hissed.
âNo, wait! (Y/n), weâre cool now!â Takemichi frantically waved his arms,Â
You snapped your head to your brother who was apologizing profusely to the guy still in your grasp.
âExcuse me?â You asked.
âTheyâre friends now,â Takuya explained. It took a second for your friendâs words to sink in.
âYou couldnât have told me that before I hit him?â You questioned Takuya who rubbed the back of his neck.
âW-well we were trying, but you get kinda scary when youâre mad.â
âOh.â
You looked at Akkun who simply blinked back, like he was still processing what just happened. Then you loosened your grip and slowly smoothed down the front of his shirt with a sheepish laugh.
âWell thatâs embarrassing,â Then you widened your eyes, âOh gosh, your nose! Here, Iâve got some tissues in my bag.â
While you were rummaging in your bag, Akkunâs other friend, one with red glasses, waved a hand in front of his bloody face, but Akkun remained unblinking. It wasnât until you procured your pack of tissues and handed him one that he shook himself of his stupor.
âThanks,â He muttered, bringing it to his nose.
âYeah, no problem,â You replied. Then you winced slightly, âBut uh, sorry.â
Akkun shook his head, âNah, itâs fine. That was one hell of a punch.â
âThanks,â You smiled slightly, feeling a little better about the situation.
No, punching someone in the face is not how one would make an ideal first impression. But Akkun was surprisingly understanding, and he actually admired how you stood up for your brother, even commenting on how Takemichi could stand to learn a thing or two from you.
While it might not have been ideal, it certainly was the beginning of a beautiful friendship between you and the Mizo Middle gang.

Penpal (Flufftober 2023 Day 1)
Pairing: kazutora hanemiya x female reader
WC: 1279
Warnings: none
Summary: baji insists on finding kazutoraâs long lost penpal
Note: this is my first time posting to tumblr so if itâs a little wonky forgive me. also this is my first ever time sharing something iâve written so i hope you enjoy :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
âWhoâs that?â Baji pointed at the picture in Kazutoraâs wallet.
âN-nobody!â Kazutora snapped the wallet shut, but Baji was already stealing it from his hand and opening it back up to get a better look.
âIf sheâs nobody then why do you have a picture of her in your wallet?â Baji tilted his head as he studied the photo, âSheâs pretty cute.â
âLemme see,â Chifuyu leaned over to look, humming in agreement when he saw her.
âCâmon, give it back,â Kazutora tried to grab it, but Baji kept the wallet just out of reach.
âNot until you tell us who it is,â He insisted.
Kazutora sighed, feeling his face heat up, âYou remember in middle school when we had that penpal assignment with that other school? Well she was mine. Her name is (Y/n).â
âDo you guys still talk?â Chifuyu asked.
Kazutora rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, âNot really. Last time we talked was right before we graduated middle school.â
âAnd youâve kept it this whole time?â Baji laughed, âDude, weâre about to graduate high school! Thatâs so creepy.â
âDonât laugh! And itâs not creepy! I just never got around to getting rid of it,â Kazutora whined as Baji continued to poke fun at him.
âWhy donât we just throw it away now?â Baji questioned.
Kazutoraâs eyes widened and he quickly snatched the wallet away, âNo! Donât!â
âWhy not?â Baji raised his brow, crossing his arms.
Kazutora shrugged, looking down at the picture of your smiling face as he tried to think of a good reason. If he was being honest, he never forgot about the picture being in his wallet. In fact, he always thought about you, wondering what you were up to, what you were like now, just wondering about you. He wondered if you thought about him too.
âShe was nice,â He said quietly.
Baji made a noise of disbelief, âThatâs it? You donât want to throw it away because she was nice?â
âWhyâd you stop talking to her then?â Chifuyu tilted his head.
âWell, I offered to meet up with her once, but she turned me down because she was too nervous,â Kazutora explained, âShe gave me her phone number⌠But I lost the letter before I could message her.â
Chifuyu nodded in understanding and Baji looked a little thoughtful at this admission.
âThen why donât we just find her?â Baji suggested.
âH-huh?â Kazutoraâs eyes widened.
âYeah,â Baji nodded, âWe can go look for her.â
âYouâre suggesting we search all of Tokyo for just one girl?â Chifuyu asked skeptically.
âIâm sure we would find her eventually. We just have to ask around,â Baji shrugged, making it sound like the easiest thing in the world.
âWhere would we even begin?â Kazutora shook his head in disbelief.
At this Baji grinned, âI know just the place.â
~~~
âWell thatâs cute,â Mikey commented after Baji finished explaining the predicament of finding Kazutoraâs long lost penpal.
âOr really weird,â Draken muttered, eyeing his friend.
Kazutoraâs face flushed in embarrassment as he looked away. He shouldâve known that when Baji said they were going to search for you that it would undoubtedly involve their friend Mikey. As much as he wanted to cringe at the inevitable teasing that would come from his friends, he had to admit that Baji was pretty ingenious. His reasoning being that they had a decently sized gang so someone was bound to know something.
âHmâŚâ Mikey studied the picture of your face closely, âYou know what, she actually looks pretty familiar.â
Draken took a look next and nodded his head, âI think Iâve seen her hang around Takemitchy before.â
Mikey snapped his fingers in realization, âYeah! Thatâs right!â
âTakemitchy knows her?â Kazutora asked in surprise.
âUh huh,â Mikey nodded with a smile, âWe were actually about to meet up with him at the park if you wanna come with.â
And so the five of them made their way to a park where they met up with Takemichi and his friends as well as Hinata and Emma. Baji didnât even greet them before he was shoving your picture in their faces demanding if they had seen you before.
âDude, isnât that your neighbor?â Yamagishi asked Takemichi as he adjusted his glasses while squinting at the picture.
âYeah, itâs (Y/n),â Takemichi nodded.
âThatâs her!â Baji said excitedly, then he went on to explain how they had been looking for you because you were Kazutoraâs old penpal that he lost contact with.
Kazutora couldnât believe his luck, the fact that he found you so easily seemed like a dream. And the fact that you had a mutual friend was astounding; he briefly wondered how he had never seen you before.
âI can call her if you want,â Takemichi offered suddenly, throwing Kazutora out of his thoughts.
âHuh?â He asked with eyes wide.
âYeah! Why donât we invite her!â Mikey sounded equally eager to meet the long lost penpal.
âUh⌠I-I dunno guys,â Kazutora hesitated.
âOh come on, donât chicken out now!â Baji groaned, poking his friend in the forehead.
âWhat are you afraid of? Are you thinking sheâll call you a freak for keeping her picture this whole time?â Chifuyu questioned with a smile while resting a hand on Kazutoraâs shoulder in what was supposed to be a comforting gesture, but his words filled Kazutora with anything but.
âWell I wasnât,â He said pointedly, but now he was. Because Chifuyu was right! It was cringey and weird to keep a picture of a person he hasnât spoken to in years! He didnât even know if you were even going to remember him!
âWhatâs the worst that can happen?â Mikey shrugged.
âI donât know, the whole calling him a freak thing sounds about as bad as it gets,â Emma commented, âHeâd never live it down.â
âThanks Emma,â Kazutora mumbled sarcastically.
â(Y/n) wouldnât do that though, sheâs super sweet,â Hinata spoke up, trying to ease his growing nerves.
And so you were called. Takemichi didnât mention that you were being looked for by Kazutora, which they all thought would be for the best. You agreed with enthusiasm, having nothing better to do in the first place.
It didnât take long for you to show up and when you did, time seemed to slow for Kazutora. You were beautiful. Your eyes seemed to sparkle in the sunlight, and he knew that if he was given the chance, he could get lost in them for hours. Seeing that bright smile on your face in person made Kazutoraâs heart skip a beat. You were perfect.
âHi guys!â You chirped to your friends, who greeted you just as happily.
Your smile dropped as your face morphed to one of shock upon seeing Kazutora.
âI know you!â You exclaimed, pointing at him.
âY-you do?â Kazutora questioned, an ounce of hope finding its way into his tone.
âYeah! Youâre Kazutora, right? We used to be penpals!â
His heart soared at the fact you remembered him. You really remembered him!Â
âWell isnât that a crazy coincidence!â Baji grinned mischievously, slinging an arm around your shoulder.
When Baji told you about the picture in the wallet, you didnât cringe away like Kazutora feared. Instead, you smiled up at him and told him that it was endearing, then you confessed to keeping everything heâs ever sent, including his picture that you keep tacked to a board hanging in your room. No one could wipe the beaming grin off his face even if they tried after you said that.
The rest of the day was spent at the park, having fun and chatting, and mostly reacquainting yourself with your old penpal, Kazutora.
You even put your number in his phone so he wouldnât lose it this time.
