Tumblr media
Despite popular belief, the library is never silent.
It's a muted cacophony of rustling pages, the creaking of chairs, and the occasional soggy sneeze from the unfortunate soul who caught the latest virus on campus. But fortunately for you, it's the right amount of noise needed to focus. You're tucked away into the back corner, notebooks hazardously strewn across the table. Your only companion is a lukewarm cup of iced coffee, condensation running down the sides and forming a puddle that threateningly inches toward your papers.
Today, the library is unusually empty; the seats at your table are vacant. It's a blessing to you—fewer eyes to witness your silent paroxysm of stress. With multiple deadlines approaching (underlined in three different colors in your agenda), you can feel the exhaustion catching up to you. It's your fault, really, for procrastinating. But in your book, the early bird doesn't get the worm, and things turn out better with a deadline chasing after you.
Nevertheless, procrastination or not, the stress was taking a toll on your mind, and as you slam your head against the table in frustration, you feel tears well up in your eyes.
Amidst your breakdown, you hear timid footsteps approach your corner and look up, forehead aching from hitting your head against the table. The sight in front of you takes your breath away.
The boy before you is beautiful.
Snowflakes litter his hair like powdered sugar on dark chocolate, dampening the dark strands.  Large hands awkwardly grip the straps of his backpack as he lingers in front of you, burrowing his nose into his emerald green scarf as a cold draft comes in from the windows. The only part of his face left unhidden are his eyes: golden, lined with dark lashes and a light dusting of red eyeshadow—golden eyes that now meet your gaze. 
You feel your heart skip a beat. And then it skips another beat when he speaks. 
"Can I sit here?" he mumbles, gesturing towards the empty seat across from you. You nod, scrambling to gather your haphazard mess of papers and frantically push them onto your side of the table. Something fragrant floods your senses as he sits down; soft notes of vanilla and amber drown out the dusty smell of the library, clearing the fog in your head. Taking a sip from your watered-down coffee, you watch as he pulls his laptop out of his bag, a myriad of colorful neon sticky notes covering its gray exterior. You sneak a brief look at them.
"Email Prof. Zhongli back ASAP" 
"Lunch with Kazu and me tomorrow 2PM, don't forget!! — the better friend >:)" (scribbled in glittery purple ink)
"XIAO YOU THIEF DID YOU TAKE MY POETRY BOOK??" 
The last note makes you choke on your coffee, an unattractive cough escaping your lips. Golden eyes glance up in surprise, but concern quickly melts into amusement when he sees your shoulders shake with laughter. You awkwardly clear your throat and duck your head behind your laptop screen. But curiosity eats away at you, and when you peer up at him, you see his cheeks flush red and a small smile curve on his lips.
Something in your stomach flutters.
Tumblr media
His name is Xiao, you later learn, and you know exactly three things about him.
ONE
An intricate pattern of green decorates his right arm, but it's usually kept hidden in the sleeve of his sweatshirt. You've seen it exactly once, when the air conditioning in the library broke one day. Xiao had grudgingly shed his jacket when the heat got unbearable, leaving him in just a white T-shirt. 
You could have sworn that the temperature in the room got hotter when you caught sight of the green ink.
TWO 
Every Tuesday, his friends accompany him to the library—not to study, it seems, but to serve as a distraction for both you and Xiao. The one who sits to his left is Venti, and also who you consider the library's worst nightmare. Rather than working, he chooses to talk Xiao's ear off and scroll through his phone. But although he glares at Venti during the entirety of their stay, you can tell that Xiao doesn't really mind his presence.
To his right sits Kazuha, literature major and Xiao’s roommate. Unlike Venti, he's rather quiet, spending his time scribbling in an incredibly worn-down notebook, leaving you wondering what stories he could be weaving within its covers. He's pretty, you think. If you weren't enamored by Xiao, you would have gone after him.
They're an odd mix but it somehow works: Kazuha proofreads everyone's papers (and nearly loses his mind when he sees Xiao's). When Xiao and Kazuha are visibly stressed, it's Venti who pesters them until the tension in their shoulders relaxes. And when Kazuha's just about had it with Venti, Xiao's the one who holds him back until he calms down.
In your opinion, they're quite entertaining to watch, albeit a little distracting. 
THREE
Despite his aloof exterior, Xiao is endearingly shy. 
You've never had a proper conversation with him; a small nod and a smile are sufficient enough for both of you. But as the months slowly pass by, he comes out of his shell—like a stray cat, you muse.
Behind his stern gaze and intimidating aura, Xiao is sweet and attentive. When you caught a nasty cold during exam season, he made sure to pack a box of tissues just for you. When your stomach makes embarrassing noises in the evenings, he slides a granola bar across the table without a word. And once, when you accidentally fell asleep with your nose buried in a textbook, you woke up hours later to a familiar sweatshirt tucked under your head and a note stuck on your laptop screen that read "good luck on your exams, you can do this".
You tucked the note into your nightstand later that day.
Your friendship isn't one-sided, though. Your fancy highlighters always end up on his side of the table, colorful ink decorating his neat handwriting. When his phone dies (and it often does; it's rather old) and his eyes pleadingly look your way, you're already handing your portable charger to him. Oftentimes, your extra hair tie makes its way from your bag and into his messy hair, holding the strands up into a bun. And on some days, Xiao arrives at the library to find a cup of coffee waiting for him at his seat—iced caramel macchiato with extra vanilla syrup.
Slowly, something more than a friendship blooms—something filled with quick, bashful glances and soft smiles. And although the warm, fluttering feeling in your chest is hard to ignore, the two of you are too shy to address it.
Today is different, though. 
He's late—it's a quarter after six when Xiao scurries into the library. And instead of sitting across from you like he usually does, he slumps into the chair next to you.
You watch the flustered boy pull his laptop out, your brows furrowing in confusion when you notice the lack of the usual obnoxiously vibrant sticky notes stuck onto the lid. Instead, there's a single blue square covered in writing.
"You can do it Xiao!!" 
"OUR BABY XIAO GREW SOME BALLS" 
"RIP to Xiao's virginity!!" 
The last note was furiously scribbled out in black ink.
Today feels different because Xiao appears to be very nervous: his left knee bounces under the table, jolting against the leg of his chair. A sheen of sweat beads on his forehead and he refuses to make eye contact with you—even when you wave hello.
"Hi," you smile. He nervously meets your gaze for a second before glancing away, mirth glittering in your eyes like the sun's reflection in the summer sea. 
"Hello," he mutters, and he attempts to smile back, although he's sure it looks more like a grimace. He awkwardly clears his throat, raking his hands through his hair while he tries to collect himself. 
"Xiao, are you okay?" you ask, and he nearly jumps out of his skin at the sound of your voice, knocking your cup of coffee all over the desk. 
"Oh," he gasps, scrabbling to save his laptop and your papers from the growing puddle of caffeine. You mop up the spill with some spare napkins and try to reassure him, but your words fall on deaf ears. 
"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry," he stammers. "I was going to ask you out but I got nervous and—" 
Realizing what he was saying, he snaps his mouth shut in embarrassment and slams his head against the desk, cradling his head in his arms and praying to every deity to erase his existence while you hold back your laughter. Xiao is usually ever so composed; seeing him so flustered is rather endearing. 
A soft touch to the back of his hand interrupts his prayers, startling him. He peeks out from the protection of his arms to see a pink sticky note stuck to his skin. You're smiling, and the sight is enough to feed the butterflies in his stomach. The setting sun bathes the room in a soft golden glow; time feels like molten honey as Xiao slowly reads the note.
XXX-XXX-XXXX
if it's hard to talk, we can always text :)
Something in him warms at the sight of your handwriting, and he finally looks up to meet your eyes. A real, genuine smile dances on his lips, and he hears your breath catch. 
Golden eyes always looked prettier under the sun, after all.

Taking Down an Oni - Part 1
Surprise Visit - Part 0 Taking Down an Oni - Part 1 (This Post)
Summary: Itto becomes The One and Ticklish Oni. In other words, he loses a tickle fight.
A/N: Here’s part one you’ve all been waiting for! It was fun writing Itto, especially with his event that appeared. As always, enjoy!
Word Count: 1421
— 
A minute hadn’t even passed when Itto rushed into a random room with a half-hearted struggling Kazuha before going to town scribbling his sides.
“IHIHIHITTO! AHAHAHAHAHA!” Kazuha immediately laughed, trying to pull out of the clutches of the almighty Oni. “NAHAHAHA!”
The rapid pinches on his sides and fluttering of fingers on his belly had him weakening against Itto’s hold and his knees struggling to keep him upright.
“Hahaha! Still as ticklish as I remember, Kaz!” Itto grinned. “Say…are you still ticklish here?”
Itto started crawling his hands up towards Kazuha’s armpits, shooting ticklish anticipation through his body.
“Wait! WAIT! WAhahaHAIT! NoHOT THEhereHE! DOhoHOn’t GOhoho THEHERE!”
He started squirming with newfound energy as Itto’s fingers slowly walked up his sides toward their target. His laughter increasing in pitch and panicking by the second because he knows Itto will be merciless.
“Getting closer~ And closer~”
“I-ItoHO!”
Kazuha willed his eyes shut and did his best to keep his mouth closed, not wanting to give Itto the satisfaction of his laughter.
“Playing tough guy are we, huh?” Itto teased. “Sorry to burst your bubble, Kazu-bro, but I’m winning this one because I am Arataki ‘Numero Uno’ Itto!”
With that, he drilled right into the center of Kazuha’s hollows, igniting his skin with ticklishness that went straight to his brain.
Kazuha’s eyes shot open and he let out a shriek of laughter.
“IHIHI- AHAHAHAHA! NO NO NOHOHOHOHO! GAHAHAHA! IHIHIHITOHOHOHO!” His legs finally gave out and he slumped against Itto’s chest.
“Haha! Now there's your laughter!” Itto laughed. “The One and Oni strikes again! Laugh me your praises!”
Suddenly, two figures rush through the open doorway. A flash of teal catches Itto’s eye before he feels a large weight impact him from behind and hang on to him.
“Oof!”
Kazuha slipped from his grasp and fell right into Xiao's waiting arms.
“Xiao!?” Itto yelped in surprise. “Wait, then who is behIND MEHEHE?! GAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHO!”
“Woah!” His tickler exclaimed, excitedly. “I didn't know that you of all people would be ticklish!”
“GAHAHAHAMIHIHING!?” Itto laughed, recognizing the voice. “AHAHAHAHA!”
“That's me!” He chuckled, digging between Itto's armpit and upper ribs. “You need something?”
“GEHEHE- GAHAHAHA! NO NOHOHOHO! AHAHAHA! GEHET OHOFF OF MEHEHEHE! NAHAHAHA!”
While Itto laughed and danced around goofily, Xiao laid Kazuha down on the carpeted floor and checked on him.
“Hey, are you okay?” Xiao asked.
Kazuha tiredly grinned, “Never better. Kick Itto’s ass would you?”
Xiao let out a deep chuckle, “Was planning on i-”
“Aah, oof!”
Gaming landed beside them rubbing his back.
“Ow… that was a wild ride,” he groaned, his eyes widening when he saw Itto approaching.
“Wait! Wait!” He tried to scramble to his feet. “D-dohon’t come any clohoser! AAH!”
Itto grabbed his legs and pulled him towards himself, smirking down at him as he tried to crawl away.
“Where are you going buddy?~” Itto teased, spidering his fingers under Gaming's knees.
“HEHEHEHAHAHA! NOHOHO!” Gaming shrieked, trying to kick out of Itto's grip to no avail. “IHIHITOHOHO!”
“That was a bold move you pulled on me, but it's going to take more than that to bring this Oni down!” Itto boisterously laughed.
“XIAHAHAO! HEHEHELP MEHEHEHE!” Gaming called out, laughing uncontrollably when Itto went after his hips.
Xiao, who was amused at the scene before him, decided to take pity on Gaming and went to squeeze Itto’s sides.
“Ahahaha! Xiahahao!” Itto doubled over in laughter, letting go of Gaming in favor of shielding himself and rushing to the other side of the room.
“Ushi, protect me!”
He brought Ushi out and Ushi went in between Itto and the other two. When Xiao or Gaming made a move toward Itto, Ushi was always there blocking their path.
“If I teleport or you jump over, Ushi will be after one of us and we don't know what Ushi might do to us,” Xiao pondered in thought. “And Itto is too much to handle for one of us only.”
“Hmm,” Gaming thought. “Ooh! I have an idea! Man Chai can lure Ushi away!”
“Man who?” Itto asked, confused.
Gaming didn't give a response and instead brought Man Chai out.
“Man Chai, take care of Ushi for us?”
Man Chai moved around enthusiastically before getting Ushi’s attention and flying across the room, Ushi chasing after him.
Itto panicked as his last line of defense disappeared and ran towards the door as both Gaming and Xiao came at him. Anticipating this, Gaming jumped towards the door and blocked it, making Itto skid to a stop.
“Where are you going buddy?~” Gaming teased, copying him from before.
“Ack! A-Away from you!” Itto squeaked.
“Are you sure about that?” A deep voice rumbled behind him, making goosebumps rise along his skin.
“L-Little Dude. I- WHA!”
Xiao grabbed both Itto and Gaming and teleported them next to Kazuha who was still down for the count.
“I will never get used to thaHAHAT!”
Itto barked out a laugh as he was brought down by Xiao and Gaming. Gaming raises his arms and sits on them and Xiao straddles his hips.
“How many times do I have to tell you not to call me ‘Little Dude’?” Xiao grumbled, going straight towards Itto’s ribs.
“AHAHAHA! LIHIHI- GAHAHAHA! OKAY, OKAHAHAY! XIAO! XIAHAHAO! THAHAHAT’S MYHYHY WOHOHORST SPOHOT!”
“I chose it for a reason,” a small mischievous grin made its way to Xiao’s face as he wiggled his fingers in between the ticklish bones.
“I wonder,” Gaming started. “Are your horns ticklish too, Itto?”
He was idly gliding his fingers along Itto's shoulder, but slowly moving them up towards his horns. Xiao toned down his tickling, also curious if Itto's horns were ticklish.
The Oni shook his head wildly. Whether it was to answer Gaming's question or because of the ticklish sensations running across his body, Gaming didn't wait for a verbal answer and instead went to rub them.
“Hehehey ihihi ahahaham nohohot a pehet thahat neheheheeds RUHUHUBS! AHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHOHO! OHOHOHO GOHOHOD! GAHAHA- AHAHAHA! GAHAHAHAMIHIHING! GAHAHAHAMI- AHAHAHA!” Itto squealed. He frantically tried to free his arms to cover his face and smother the ticklish sparks but they didn't budge.
“Jackpot!” Gaming grinned, with sparkles in his eyes. Enthusiastically, he also added little scratches, nothing that would leave marks or pain.
“MPHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA! IHIHIT’S BAHAHAHAD! BAHAHAHAD! AHAHA-! NO! NOHOHOHO! EHEHEHEHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA! XIAHAHAHAO! EHEHAHAHA!” Itto hid his face in his shoulder to muffle his laughs, but Xiao scritched under his chin and went after his neck causing him to sway his neck from side to side.
“You are quite the ticklish Oni,” Xiao observed. “I thought your ribs were your most ticklish spot, but it's actually your horns.”
Kazuha, who has mostly recovered, slowly crawled over towards Itto's hips, nudging Xiao’s legs for him to move. Xiao obliged, moving off to Itto's side, spidering his fingers along the Oni’s armpits.
A tired smirk crossed Kazuha's face as he put his chin on his stomach and looked at Itto.
“Itto!~” Kazuha called out over his laughter. “Revenge is sweet.”
Kazuha planted his lips right on top of his navel and blew.
“BWAHAHAHAHAHA! PLEHEHEHEASE AHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHOHO! NAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Itto was a goner, shaking his head and laughing hysterically. The teasing touches zapping ticklish sensations through his body.
“HEHEHEHAHAHA! WAHAHAHAHAIT WAHAHAI- AHAHAHAHA! GAHAHAHAHA! IHIHIHITS TOHOHOHOHO MUHUHUCH! GUYS! GUHUHUYS! HAHAHAHAHA!” Itto couldn't concentrate on trying to escape. His three skilled opponents were driving him crazy. Xiao scribbled his armpits, Gaming rubbed along his horns, and Kazuha blew maddening raspberries. They all turned him into a puddle of hysterical laughter.
“MERCY! MEHEHERCY! IHIHI GIHIHIVE!” The mighty Oni surrendered. “YOUHUHU GUHUHUYS WIHIHIN! AHAHAHA! PLEHEHEHEASE! NOHOHO MOHOHORE!”
They let up, satisfied smiles etched on their faces as Itto gulped in some needed air and giggled at the ghost sensations.
“So,” Gaming started. “Should we call you ‘The One and Ticklish Oni’?”
Kazuha laughed and Xiao let out a small chuckle, while Itto groaned.
“I knew you guys would say something like that.” He pouted, bringing a hand to his face.
“Though,” Itto smirked, letting his hand fall from his face, revealing mischief running through his eyes. “The fight is not over yet. One of us hasn't been tickled yet.”
He glanced over at Xiao who felt goosebumps rise along his skin and a wobbly grin taking shape on his face as he crawled backward.
“I-I need to- nohoho! Dohohon't dohoho thiHIHIHIS! GAHAHAHA!”
The tickle fight continued, all of them getting their fair share of tickles as their laughs resonated around the room.
And away from the chaos was Ushi and Man Chai just vibing together.

May i request please Ryusei, Baji, Chifu and Kazu when a friend draws them/make a clay figure of them please ? As a platonic
Thank you !
─Ryusei, Baji, Chifuyu & Kazutora x reader (platonic)
─Summary: your friend discover that you are making a small figure/draw of them
─Warnings: none
Tumblr media
Ryusei Satou
─ He caught you drawing him in the middle of class, it was a boring class and you had a good angle on him so you took advantage of it.
─ You wish he hadn't seen you because oh boy, he'll make fun of you telling you that you're in love with him as a joke.
─ You will raise his ego even more and probably every time he sees you with a pencil and a notebook he poses ironically for you.
─ Although he seriously won't mind if you draw him, he enjoys seeing how you see him even if it's silly doodles sometimes, he'll appreciate art just the same.
─ He tries to draw you back but let's say that art is not his strong point, you still appreciate the attempt.
─ He won't force you if it bother you that people see your drawings without your permission, but keep in mind that he will want to snoop in your notebook just to see his.
─ Oh and if someone makes fun of your drawings he'll be ready to throw hands no problem, only he can make fun of it and he's not even serious about it.
─ He'll definitely steal one of the doodles, cut it out, and put it in his phone case to take it with him.
Tumblr media
Baji Keisuke
─ You had to make a figure of whatever you wanted for a class project, you decided to make your friend bust in a cartoon version.
─ So you both worked together because you needed some references, he didn't question why you decided to take him as a model since he wanted to do Peke J.
─ He's probably complaining that you've exaggerated his expression and that he's not so 'ugly', but it's the style, so you ask him to shut up and concentrate on his work, you're not accepting criticism of your work when he made a cat as if it were a ball with paws.
─ He will show off when the works are exhibited, proudly telling Chifuyu that this is him and that you have wonderful hands that would make you a famous artist in the future.
─ You will verbally slap him for being a hypocrite and for having complained at the beginning about how he looked and only bragging now that you got the best grade in the class.
─ He saved a photo of the sculpture and asked you to make a slightly smaller one to put in his room.
─ He will show it to his mother, proud of your abilities, although at first he said that he did it to take the credit, luckily it's easier to catch a liar than a lame one.
Tumblr media
Chifuyu Matsuno
─ You casually commented that you were out of ideas to draw and that lately you were not able to capture the poses well one day.
─ He said that he could be your model to take references, although it was only a specific case, you began to trace his figure more times because this boy seemed to be posing without realizing it.
─ He won't mind spending entire afternoons posing for you, although he can't sit still for more than a minute because he gets tired quickly, give him a break, he never thought of being a model and it's exhausting to keep the same posture for so long.
─ Definitely he will ask you to finish the drawings that he likes the most and not to leave them as a simple practice sketch, he wants to hang them on the wall of his room.
─ He will also keep one of those little drawings in the phone case, he takes it as a lucky charm because the day you gave it to him he passed an exam.
─ As a thank you, he also wants to make a silly little drawing of you, although since he wants it to be a surprise, he draws you during classes without you noticing.
─ Chifuyu isn't exactly the best at art but you appreciate his scribbling attempt, you gave him an extra point because he drew your pet next to you.
Tumblr media
Kazutora Hanemiya
─ This boy needed some affection since he entered the correctional and you thought of giving him a gift once he completed his sentence.
─ So you set to work on a small figure of him that he could use as a key ring.
─ He hugged you so tightly when he came out of the correctional that he almost left you breathless, he didn't expect any of his old friends to go see him that day and even less he expected a gift from you.
─ He will ask you to teach him the art of clay because he needs to start looking for other hobbies that do not include punching.
─ If he is good at it, you will have many relaxing outings doing this type of craft, if he doesn't master the practice, he will only ask you to make more figurines to decorate his room.
─ He definitely wants you to make earrings to match with you, he brags that his best friend did it to everyone possible, yes, sometimes he'll embarrass you because he spends exalting your work when it's not a big deal most of the time.
─ He supports you in everything, like if you sign up for a figure and creativity contest, he will be by your side on work nights helping you as much as he can.

song inspo ; sweet lies by exo
if you have a blank blog [no bio, no user, no header or profile pic, nothing reblogged, etc] do not interact with my content. you will be blocked.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Knowing Baji Keisuke was strange, to say the least. You knew he was your classmate — a firecracker of a boy hidden behind thick glasses. And that was it. Baji Keisuke was a mystery — but he had a staring problem, you found out.
Tilting your head so that you could see him from your periphrial vision, you could tell he was turned towards you — again. He never spoke to you, he just stared in your direction numbly. Today, it seemed, was your last straw. "Baji, do you have a problem with me?"
The brunette boy tensed, cheeks flushing as you faced him head on. He let out a mumbled, "tryin' to see somethin'", before stiffly turning to hunch over his desk once more. You left it at that, continuing the silent studying your teacher had assigned.
"Y/N." Baji called out to you once the lunch bell rang. Curiously, you stayed put as he shuffled to stand in front of you. Fidgeting with his glasses, the boy set his gaze on you, seemingly more confident than before. "My friend, Mikey... you'd be good for him, I think."
Oh, so that's what his deal was, your shoulders slumped in relief. He just wants to set me up with his friend. Nodding slowly to let the information sink in, your ripped a piece of paper out of your notebook. Scribbling down your phone number, you handed it to Baji almost shyly. "Tell me when and where, and I'll meet him. 'Kay?"
—— ♥︎ ——
Meeting Sano Manjiro — who insisted you call him Mikey — was a rollercoaster, to say the least. The blond had crumbs on his cheek and his mouth was stuffed with what was supposed to be a present for you. He swallowed dryly, eyes widening ever so slightly at the sight of you walking beside Baji. Clearing his throat, Mikey spoke up. "The cookie was really good, if you were wondering."
"I can tell," you spoke through a laugh. You couldn't help but grin at the funny and bizzare situation. Shuffling into the empty booth across from Mikey, you made room as Baji slid in beside you. The sight of the two of you together brought something warm to the blond's chest — he suddenly found it hard to focus on anything other than the knock of Baji's knee against his and the slight brush of your shoe. "Did you order yet?"
His mind was blank, completely empty other than the slight touches you and Baji accidentally gave him. You frowned at Mikey's silence, meeting Baji's gaze across the menu you were looking at. The brunette shrugged, nudging Mikey's foot under the table — the blond only sighed. Baji decided to speak up, "Mikey? Hello?"
"Don't like lemons," the boy murmured out. You snorted at that — facing the menu again when Mikey's face flamed up a little. "I mean— what did you ask again?"
Baji rolled his eyes at his friend — he knew Mikey would be starstruck at your presence, but this was a bit much. Little did Baji know that he was crowding Mikey's mind as well. "I'll just order for everyone. Be right back."
Silence hit the table as Baji left, Mikey refusing to meet your eyes when you tried to look his way. Picking at your cuticles, you could only hope this was going well — that Mikey would like you enough and that would stop Baji's stares. They were unnerving and flattering simultaniously and you weren't sure how that worked.
"How do you know Baji anyways?" Mikey is the one to break the tense atmosphere. You bit your lip, not noticing how his gaze dropped to your lips and stayed there. "He said you went to school with him."
"Yeah, we're classmates." You find yourself looking for Baji, smiling as you watched him squint at the menu as he ordered. He turned abruptly, sending a thumbs up your way. You awkwardly waved back before turning your attention to Mikey again. "He's different in school. The way he acts and looks."
Mikey laughed at that, looking down at the table as he grinned. "He's rowdy is what he is."
"I'm sure he says the same thing about you," you can't help but grin back.
The blond looks at Baji before his grin turns mischievous, curling up further on one side. Leaning in closer so that he was almost laying across the table, Mikey whispers loudly. "Has he told you his nickname yet? It's Edward."
"Like from that vampire movie?" Mikey let out another bark-like laugh, throwing his head back just as Baji joined them at the table again. The brunette raised an eyebrow as he distributed the treats, but you only smiled innocently. "Welcome back, Eddie."
Letting out a groan, Baji plops down into his seat beside you. He has a frown on his face as he narrows his eyes at Mikey. Sliding his drink closer, the brunette grumbles, "shouldn't have left you two alone."
You let out a small giggle, nudging your shoulder against his playfully. Mikey's eyes sparkle again at the interaction and the way Baji smiles down at the table after. Yeah, he lets out a dreamy sigh, could get used to this.
——
Nothing official happened that day. You and Mikey went out a few more times and more often than not, Baji was joining you. It wasn't awkward — he wasn't a third wheel at all — but more like an add on. Dates felt empty without both of the boys and you stopped thinking about why that was.
"Try this one." A spoon full of pink ice cream was in front of your face. Baji was watching you intensely as you ate the ice cream, eyes lighting up and humming in delight at the sweet taste. The brunette grins, "mixed berry paradise or somethin' like that. Good?"
"Really good!" You cheer. A head of blond hair swoops past you as Baji reloads his spoon. You let out a snort as Mikey takes the bite Baji got for himself. You spoon up some of your own frozen treat, "anyone want to try mine?"
Mikey is the first one to steal a bite, eyes closing in satisfaction at the sweetness. After seeing Baji's defeated frown, you gather up more ice cream for him to try, too. They both hum at the flavor and you cant hide your smile as you grab another bite for yourself.
"Indirect kiss..." is muttered from beside you. Mikey is staring at his spoon blankly before he looks at yours, then Baji's. "We just had... an indirect kiss..."
You and Baji exchange glances, wondering why that mattered so much. Friends share drinks and food all the time, right? Before you could think any further, lips are pressed against yours quickly and gone just as quick. With widened eyes, you don't even acknowledge Mikey turning your head so you were facing Baji now. Taking the hint, Baji presses a small kiss to your lips, too.
And it seems that they like that — kissing you one after the other — because they do it again. And again — every time you meet up, kisses are pressed to your cheeks and head and lips. Other forms of pda become a regular thing between the three of you, too.
—— ♥︎ ——
You're sat in the classroom with Baji, intertwined hands dangling between your desks. You're finishing up homework as he struggles to write a letter, asking how to spell something every now and then.
"This sound right?" The hand that's being held is tugged on, diverting your attention to the brunette beside you. Reading over what he wrote, you take your sparkly gel pen and cross out the incorrect words, writing the correct one above it. It's what you'd been doing for weeks now — you thought Baji just re-wrote the letter when he got home. "Oh. Yeah, that does make more sense."
Little did you know, Baji sent those letters as they were. Weekly, his friend had recieved a letter with your handwriting and his. It made him feel warm — made a spark of joy climb up his chest. You were told about this from a nervous Baji — his teeth made home in his bottom lip as he chewed them constantly.
"Keisuke," you nudge him with your shoulder, "everything alright?"
The brunette lets out a groan from beside you, his head falling against the foot of your bed. He was at your house to study and you were both sitting on the floor when you noticed his uncomfortable expression. "I want you to go somewhere with me. But, Mikey— I don't think it'd be okay to tell him. He'd get upset."
You lay a hand on his shoulder reassuringly, "then we don't have to tell him just yet."
—— ♥︎ ——
Seeing Hanemiya Kazutora for the first time was nerve-wracking, to say the least. The dual-haired boy tilts his head as he stares at you from behind the glass shield. Your hands are hidden, but one is wrapped around Baji's while the other is rubbing the bottom of your shirt.
"You don't have to stare," Baji grumbles, eyes narrowed Kazutora's way. "Y/N's pretty n'all, but cut it out."
You feel your face flush at the compliment, a smile automatically falling on your lips. Kazutora's eyes narrow in on your smile, copying the notion stiffly. He glances at Baji before looking to you again, "this is the sparkly pen? Yours and Mikey's—?"
"We're not really anything." You realize how it sounds when both boys frown. "I mean, officially. We go on dates or just hang out or—"
"I kiss Y/N then Y/N kisses Mikey... or the opposite."
Your mouth falls open in shock as your free hand lightly smacks Baji on the shoulder. The boy lets out a loud laugh, head thrown back as he cackles. You glance at Kazutora nervously, gulping at his stare. "You just made it sound so much worse!"
Weekly visits to see Kazutora became part of your schedule after that. Most times, Baji joined with letters or trinkets from his other friends. Mikey had finally been told the big secret and everything that was happening. The blond smiled and told you only one thing — "I hope he gets better."
[Kazutora cried when you told him that, but he'd deny the tears.]
During one of your solo visits, an unfamiliar blond and brunette duo took your place in front of the glass shield. Kazutora looked distressed, his eyes foggy and disconnected from reality. You couldn't hear what they were saying, but you knew it was bad — really bad. You left soon after, telling Baji what you'd seen.
That was how Hanma Shuji and Kisaki Tetta were introduced into your world.
Keisuke told you they were lingering by — stirring up Kazutora's dark thoughts and tearing down everything he learned in therapy. The both of you kept a close eye since then, your intuation telling you something big was going to happen and you'd be trapped in the middle.
—— ♥︎ ——
The birth of Valhalla didn't shock you the way it did everyone else. What you didn't expect, however, was Kisaki Tetta. He was sitting proudly, back turned to Mikey as he was announced to be a new part of Toman. You frowned, looking at Draken for confirmation — he only shrugged. It wasn't like the others could tell their commander no, after all. Baji was supposed to miss this meeting, so why did you see him stomping your way?
"I'll be joining Valhalla!"
This was news to you. Looking at Mikey with wide eyes, you could see the miniscule change in his face. The blond was confused, and heartbroken, but he'd keep it hidden until it was just the two of you. Watching Baji walk away hurt, but seeing Mikey silently break hurt even more. You knew where you were needed — knew Kei would tell you what's going on later.
Draken dismissed the meeting, leaving Mikey frozen in his spot as the rest of Toman left. Kisaki eyed you as he left and you shot a seething glare his way. The blond sat on the steps of the shrine, eyes staring blankly ahead. You stood in front of him, "everything alright, 'Jiro?"
Mikey hums, leaning closer to you. Silently, you comply letting his knees separate your legs so he could rest his head on your stomach. Running your fingers through his blond locks lightly, you think of what to say to reassure him. Mikey beats you to it, though, speaking up before you can. "Is this the end of it, then? The end of this — us?"
"No," you plant a kiss on his head. Grabbing his chin gently, you tilt Mikey's head up so you can kiss his pouting lips. "Trust Keisuke — trust me, okay? Everything will be fine."
——
A week later, you've just finished running errands when you see him. A grin breaks across your face as you speed up, your body colliding into Kazutora's as you both stumble. Clumsily, your arms wrap around his torso — you speak up when he makes a noise of protest. "Knew you were getting out soon, but not today!"
"Y/N," he breathes. You're grinning at him, still holding him tightly — Kazutora can't remember the last time someone was this happy to see him. Trembling  hands found your shoulders, pulling you closer to him stiffly. "I— yeah. Got out yesterday. Kei didn't tell you that?"
You pull away so you can see his face with an exaggerated frown. "I've been grounded from his house. His mom said 'I do love seeing you around, sweetheart, but he's gotta get his grades up. Sending you all my love!' when I called the other day."
Kazutora lets out a breathy laugh, shaking his head. "Yeah, sounds like him." He peers at you curiously, his hands sliding from your shoulders to your hips. "And what're you doin' out and about, hm? Scary around here when someone pretty's all by themselves."
"Not alone — I'm with you," you reply without thinking. Kazutora sinks into you, pressing his forehead to the top of your head so that you can't see his blushing face. "Just got something to snack on, though."
"So, you're free now?" He pulls away to ask. You nod with a small mhm, wondering why he was asking. "Wanna go somewhere with me?"
That's how you end up in an abandoned arcade, people in white jackets eyeing you curiously. Whistles and jeers echo around you, burning into your skin with the eyes that follow your form. Kazutora has his hand wrapped in yours as he guides you deeper into Valhalla's hideout. Leaning to your ear, he whispers, "stay put, I'll be right back."
You clear your throat as you shuffle uncomfortably. You were in the enemy's territory now — completely vulnerable in the wolves den. A smirking, cheap looking guy waltzes his way up to you. He makes a show of checking you out before he speaks. "Oh? What's Toman's bitch doing here?"
"I'm—" you take a breath harshly as he comes closer. Backing away and squaring your shoulders, you meet his sultry gaze head on. "I'm not a member of Toman."
His grin widens at that as he inches closer. Need Manjiro, you think. Need Baji or Kazutora — need my boys before I bash this guys head in. Tilting his head, he looks you up and down once more. "So you're ours for the taking? You gonna be Valhalla's new play thing?"
His head is snapped to the left as a fist crunches into his nose. Golden eyes look crazed — murderous — as Kazutora places himself between you and the guy. Kazutora grins, and it's nothing like how he smiles at you — it's harsh ; sharp as he glares at his gang member. "Wanna repeat that?"
"Don't have too much fun without me," you hear Keisuke's voice. Warmth is pressed against your back as he slumps into you, his chest vibrating against you as he laughs. An arm is slung around your waist, a reassuring squeeze meeting your right hip. "Guy's got some nerve callin' our special friend a bitch."
You calm down quickly at the sight of them. Though, one word catches your attention and you swat Baji's arm lightly with a scowl. "Not your 'special friend', Kei. Sounds weird when you say stuff like that."
"Sorry," he says before placing a kiss on your head. He's not, though, if the grin you can feel against your temple says anything. Kazutora swings a few more times, the guy on the ground now choking on the blood that's escaped his busted lip. "Alright, 'tora. Let's show Y/N around, hm? Not spend time on worthless fleas."
Kazutora straightens up, breathing heavily as he stares at the ground. Silently, Baji takes one of Kazutora's hands in his and begins to lead you both away from the quivering, half-conscious body. The three of you find a place of solitude in the arcade, circling around each other for a blanket of safety. You eye the way Baji keeps his hand locked in Kazutora's until the developing bruises catch your gaze.
You reach out before thinking, you grasp the dual-haired boy's free hand in both of yours. A frown settles on your face — one that Baji admires and Kazutora gets the urge to kiss away. Delicately, you run your thumb over his knuckles, letting out a sigh. "Sorry 'bout your hand, 'tora. Didn't mean for you to get hurt."
"S'okay," he whispers. Kazutora is melting, his brain zapping and filling with thoughts of you he can't control. A glance at Baji tells him this might be okay — that he wasn't a terrible, awful friend for his wandering gaze. "Don't mind a bruise or two if it means you're safe."
—— ♥︎ ——
Mikey doesn't know what this means, but he hopes it's something good. You gave him a kiss before the big Toman versus Valhalla fight, squeezing his hand in comfort. Before you took a seat amongst the other viewers, you reminded Mikey — "trust them."
The blond could only hope that meant Baji would come back home soon — that you'd both come back to him safely.
You're sitting in front of the Haitani brothers, chewing on your bottom lip nervously. You don't allow your eyes to drift from the fight for even a second — you have to stare ; have to be certain one of your boys aren't hurt. There's a yell from Mikey as you see Kisaki hop his way to the fallen leader heroically. You roll your eyes at the sight, letting out quiet insults and curses that have the brothers behind you laughing.
The world goes still. Then, suddenly, two Valhalla members are swinging at Kisaki. With matching feral grins, Kazutora and Baji stare down at the injured blond. You let out a sigh of relief — they're safe ; everyone's safe. You straighten up at the sight of Mikey standing on shaky legs, his body bloody and already forming bruises. Baji's yelling is incomprehensive, but you assume he's telling Mikey his plan.
Confusion filters over the blond's face before he glances at Kazutora. That's all you remember before seeing Mikey pounce on Kisaki. The rest of the day is a blur, and nothing feels real until you're in the middle of the junkyard. Baji has an arm around your waist as he stands on your left, Mikey to your right. A dual-haired boy is standing in front of you nervously.
"I owe you an apology, and an explanation." Kazutora gulps down the fear of rejection as Mikey's dark eyes survey him. He takes in a deep breath, confidence building up in him as you and Baji encourage him silently. "About that night — your brother. I—"
"Later," the blond interupts him with a smile. It's a tired, battered smile, but it reassures him still. Wrapping an arm around your shoulders, Mikey leans against you in a sleepy haze. "Wanna go home right now. Sleepy."
A kiss is placed on your left cheek, trailing to the corner of your mouth as Baji loses interest in the conversation before him. Mikey lets out a whine, pecking your neck before he's grasping your chin and turning you to face him. Kazutora shuffles nervously at the sight, wanting nothing more than to copy their actions.
And then you're facing him, Mikey's hand still on your chin as he and Baji wait for the tiger to make a move. A brisk, barely-there peck is left on your mouth. It makes the brunette snort and Mikey grin before he's turning to leave.
Mikey looks back and tilts his head at Kazutora. "You comin' with us or what?"

+++i am curious to konw what Hanma had stuffed Kazu's mind with to the point that he suspected his bestfriend and stabbed him.
1- every single time i see his face relizing what he had done i feel like i'm the who got stabbed not Baji, Kazu looks so confused, as if he was lost trying to understand why does what he did look so missed up, it's just not right, Baji isn't his friend and only wants to prove him wrong, or so does Hwnma claims to.
2- The moment he stabbed Baji is so casual (I mean in his P.O.V, but for us we know that Kisaki told Hanma to call him), like hello Kazu go and stab Baji he's acting kinda sus, ain't no way this how it went, Kazu is mentally instable but not an idiot to just casually think "yeah kinda sus, i'm taking him out of this world". We're not playing Among us
3- Hanma is not dump despite of doing dump stuff, so he knew what to say mire than that Kisaki gave a skript to say (he can't anyway). I don't think that the matter is that Kazu made Hanma his very bestfriend that he loves so much more than that he played perfectly with what he belives without doing that directly
I hope i won't get slabbed with some facts that will destroy all of this, just throw them on me i'm fine with it
You see i think what happened was a mix of Hanma befriending Kazutora when he didn't really have anyone else (Baji being the only one and he must've still been in toman when Kazutora first got out) and Hanma just constantly putting doubts into Kazutora's head about Baji. I mean we don't really get to see them together too much but from what we can see Kazutora seemed to trust Hanma and value his opinion a lot, asking for it occasionally
Tumblr media
We also see Hanma asking for Kazutora's opinion in relation to Baji too. Probably his way of seeing how loyal Kazutora is towards Baji as well showing Kazutora that he wants his opinion too, making Kazutora feel included.
Tumblr media
We also know they bonded enough for Hanma to visit Kazutora's House, with the translation from this official out where Kazutora's mother says a boy with scribbles on his hands is here to see him.
Tumblr media
And what if I think was the final and likely the biggest part of them bonding is this moment. The moment where Hanma gets Draken out of the way so Kazutora could get to Mikey. It just enforces this idea in Kazutora's head that Hanma is on his side and doing what Kazutora wants.
Tumblr media
But anyway Hanma's the first one to mention the possibility of Baji being a spy, the first one we see who plants that doubt into Kazutora's head.
Tumblr media
What's even more interesting though is how Kazutora responds, notice how he doesn't deny it or say there's no way Baji would do that. Instead he entertains the idea.
Tumblr media
Now I think a big part of this also has to do with Kazutora's childhood and how he was betrayed by his first friend, Junpeke. And also how he blames Mikey, another one of his close friends for what happened to him. It only makes sense that he would have this fear of his friends turning against him or abandoning him. A fear that was likely always in the back of his head, one that Hanma (and by extension Kisaki) played on and used.
Tumblr media
So when he got that phone call, when he heard those words about how Baji is a traitor it was probably his worst fears come true. Something he'd thought about, something this guy who he's come to trust has warned him about, something he didn't want to believe but couldn't deny the "evidence" he was seeing. And so he followed Hanma's advice, his own philosophy of killing ones enemy.
Tumblr media
I think that haunting look that we see right after is the shock. Kazutora attacked Baji very quickly, I don't think he had time to fully think his actions through. He heard Baji was a traitor and let his emotions and adrenaline take over.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then after that when Kazutora is threatening Mikey and acting totally fine I'm pretty sure that's him doubling down on what he did and acting like he had to/ that was the right thing, basically justifying his own actions (similar to what he did with Shinichiro). The only thing that makes him realise he was wrong was Baji's final words/ Takemichi's speech.

【A3! Translation】 Sky Gallery (5/11)
Tumblr media
previous chapter / next chapter
(translation under the cut)
(glitch text ignore)
Chapter 5
Tumblr media
Izumi: Is everyone here?
Misumi: Wait, where’s Kazu~?
Muku: He said he was going deliver the artwork that was accepted into the open-call exhibition. He should be getting back soon.
Yuki: Is that so. And if he wins the exhibition, it gets displayed in a museum, yeah?
Kumon: This is Kazu-san we’re talking about, he’s got this in the bag~. Maybe next time he’ll even have a shot at the grand prix!
Tenma: Speaking of, I heard you were contacted about a TV interview, Director?
Izumi: Since Kazunari-kun’s a member of our theater company, they came to me about the request.
Izumi: It seems they’ve gotten wind that he’s been nominated for the award.
Izumi: Since he plays an active part as both an actor and designer here, they want to interview him about a variety of things.
Izumi: Apparently it’s going to be it’s own special feature in the news.
Kumon: Ehh~! That’s awesome for Kazu-san~!
Muku: When I hear things like this, it reminds me that Kazu-kun really does have a variety of talents, huh.
Tenma: What will the interview be about?
Izumi: They’re going to ask him about some of his existing artwork, as well as his accepted exhibition piece. Along with questions about his daily life as a student and theater company member.
Kumon: In the dorms?! So that means if I pass by in the background, I’ll get to be on TV?!
Tenma: A passerby…. be more ambitious.
(door opens)
Kazunari: I’m back~.
Muku: Oh, welcome home!
Misumi: We we’re just talking about you, Kazu~.
Kumon: It’s so awesome that you’re getting a personal TV interview! You’re like Tenma-san!
Kazunari: Who knows, I might even become more famous than him~.
Kazunari: Actually, while delivering my artwork, I got an offer for a solo exhibition.
Kazunari: It’s nothing huge, but the gallery itself is pretty well-known.
Izumi: A solo exhibition next?! Amazing!
Kazunari: Though, I don’t have much time until then, since the exhibition requires both old and new works, but…
Kazunari: I decided to go for it.
Yuki: You mean you’re going to have to paint another new piece? That’s all you’ve been doing lately.
Tenma: Are you sure you’ll have enough time?
Kazunari: This is going to be the last time the gallery hosts anything for a while, if I don’t do it now, it’ll be at least half a year before I could do any type of exhibition there.
Kazunari: If there’s a chance for me now, I want to take it now while I can.
Izumi: Even though the script is still in progress, you’re going to be playing a lead role soon, don’t you need to rest?
Kazunari: I’m sure that once I graduate, I’m gonna be super busy both as an actor and an UMC.
Kazunari: This’ll be good multitasking practice for me, since I wanna continue taking as many chances like this as I can.
Kazunari: I think this is a wall I need to overcome. I said I’m gonna do everything I want to do, and I’m sticking to that.
Izumi: ….I understand. I’ll support you as best as I can.
Kumon: I’ll support you too!
Muku: Same here. If there’s anything we can do, just say the word.
Misumi: Kazu, good luck~!
Kazunari: Thanks!
Tumblr media
Kazunari: …..
Kazunari: (I know I said all that, but….)
Kazunari: Hmm…..
Kazunari: (Not a single idea comes to mind… I even came out on the balcony for a change of pace, but I’m still stumped.)
Kazunari: Sigh….
Kazunari: Ah, I unconsciously drew it again…
Kazunari: Ughh…
Tenma: ….What’s all the groaning for?
Kazunari: Huh, Tenten?
Tenma: I could hear you in the hall.
Kazunari: I’m having trouble visualizing new artwork. What a shame too, I made such a big show about it back there~.
Tenma: Is this drawing not what you’re looking for?
Kazunari: Oh… that’s just something I scribbled without thinking. I always end up drawing it when I’m artblocked.
Tenma: I just remembered, you’ve mentioned that to me before.*
Kazunari: It’s just a plain old blue sky. I can’t use this~.
Tenma: ——.
(phone buzzes)
Kazunari: ——Crap, I forgot to call back about the interview!
Kazunari: Hello!
Tenma: …..
Tumblr media
Director: Pleased to be working with you today.
Director: Today I, the director, and these two cameramen will accompany you.
Director: For this interview, we want you to just live out your daily life like usual.
Kazunari: Well today, I’m off to college~.
Director: Alright.
Tumblr media
Director: Is this usually where you work?
Kazunari: Sometimes I use the warehouse at the dorms, but yeah, most of the time I’m here.
Director: How long does it take to complete one piece?
Kazunari: Well, it depends on the size, but generally a few weeks after I come up with the initial idea.
Kazunari: Some of them can take up to several months, though.
Director: Did your piece for the 'Future Painters National Award Exhibition' take about that long?
Kazunari: Yeah, it did.
Director: Applying to an open-call exhibition and getting accepted on your first try, that’s quite impressive.
Director: Please tell us how you decided to apply.
Kazunari: Well, my Papi works for an advertising agency…
Kazunari: And at a group exhibition, we ran into a work associate of his. That guy belongs to the company that’s sponsoring the open-call, and he asked me to apply.
Director: I see. Maybe that person also thought your artwork had potential, and that’s why he called out to you.
Kazunari: Hmm, you think so?
Kazunari: It’s a step towards my future goals as an UMC, so I’m thankful for the encounter.
Director: An UMC?
Kazunari: Ultra Media Creator! A career that create all types of things, regardless if it’s paintings, theater, graphic design, or whatever else.
Director: I see, it’s a very fitting title for someone as multi-faceted as you, Miyoshi-san.
Tumblr media
Director: Well then, this concludes the interview. Thank you for having us today.
Kazunari: Right back at you!
Director: We’ll be going.
Kazunari: Good work today~!
Kazunari: (It’s refreshing to be interviewed like this. It’s like I’m a celeb~.)
Kazunari: ….Hm?
Kazunari: (This towel, doesn’t it belong to someone on the news crew?)
Kazunari: (They can’t be too far yet, I’ll go chase after them.)
Tumblr media
Kazunari: (Oh, there they are, by the vending machines!)
Kazunari: Hey——.
Cameraman A: But still, he seems like one those modern youngsters~. Definitely not the type who would make Japanese style paintings.
Kazunari: ——.
Kazunari: (It’s not like I was trying to hide but… I feel guilty for eavesdropping.)
Director: Well, I suppose an artist’s image and their work aren’t always the same…
Director: You know, when I was researching him for the interview, I saw rumors circulating around social media that he might’ve been accepted into the exhibition because of some…. insider connections.
Director: Apparently, the ad agency his father works for is also sponsoring the exhibition.
Director: I mean look at the interview just now, when I asked him why he applied, he told me he was asked to. There might be some credibility to those rumors.
Cameraman A: Seriously? It does sound connected.
Cameraman B: To think those types of things happen even now~.
Director: Well, considering it's an open-call exhibition I guess one of the sponsors wanted someone like him to get picked in order to generate some news buzz.
Cameraman A: I see. So, technically, this interview was a result of that too?
Director: Right. In a way, they were successful.
Kazunari: ——.

kazu!! could i request koga and adonis with an s/o who has a habit of attacking (read: peppering) their faces with kisses? just. smooches all over ๑ˊᯅˋ๑ thank you!
Tumblr media
A/N: this is so cute I am in shambles over this anon pls . Also, I didn’t know how to title this, so I hope loving!s/o will do? If that’s not what you were going for, I’m so sorry! Dw, I definitely included the kisses.
*ೃ༄ Adonis Otogari and Koga Oogami with a loving s/o hc’s
Tumblr media
Adonis gets all gushy around you. He is the absolute pinnacle of a man in love—blushing, shy, flustered—big, big heart eyes for you. The fact that you’re so affectionate doesn’t help his case whatsoever. Sometimes he doesn’t know how to react in a normal way, so he’ll just stand there and stutter, but he loves it nonetheless.
Whenever you hold his face in your hands, leaving sweet kisses all over his cheeks, forehead, lips, the tip of his nose—he can’t help but feel a little shy. It’s all very sweet, he’ll place his hands over yours, shutting his eyes and grinning bashfully. With an expression so cute, could anyone really blame you for wanting to kiss him a thousand times over?
He’s a little awkward when trying to return your affections, but it’s truly the thought that counts. It’s adorable, really—the way he pulls you into his arms, burying his face in your neck to hide his flushed cheeks. He isn’t used to having someone be so openly loving with him, let alone being that way with someone in return. He’s glad that you came along and changed that for him.
Your boyfriend doesn’t mind if you’re affectionate with him in public, but he may become more prone to shyness. He’d curiously ask what you’re doing, before slowly returning whatever hug, kiss, or touch you gave to him. No one around seems to mind, and even if they did, the two of you are too cute to intervene.
In all, he’s shy, but willing. It’ll take time before he can embrace you without blushing, but the wait is worth it. He enjoys how lovey-dovey you are, and your understanding towards his sometimes awkwardness. Really, he just loves you a ton. So much so, that he truly does think his heart might explode one of these days. <3
Tumblr media
Koga is actually a lot more affectionate than he lets on. He’s quite fond of kisses, hugs, anything really. And he’ll absolutely return it, every single time. He’s not so good with words, and gets flustered and embarrassed whenever he tries to verbally express his love, so he’s content with pulling you into him with a huff, kissing your lips however many times he feels like it.
Sometimes, he may look like he’s just tolerating your affection, but you can see right through his furrowed brow by the slight pink dusting his cheeks. He has to keep up the tough guy persona at least sometimes, right? No matter, he’ll always give in. Koga is a bit more aggressive with his affections though, so be prepared to have your cheeks squeezed every so often.
He actually really enjoys having his face peppered with kisses, surprisingly. Sometimes he’ll even subtly present his face to you, awaiting your loving attack. You can’t help but grin, pulling him into you and kissing all over, watching as his eyes flutter shut and his lips slightly upturn. He’s just too cute for his own good, unknowingly so.
Koga actually initiates a good majority of the affection with your relationship, at least in private. He’s always pulling you into tight hugs, or pinching your cheek and kissing you roughly. Soft affections aren’t really his forte, as they fluster him too badly, so you’ll have to be the one to initiate the more gentle touches. That isn’t an issue to your boyfriend, though. He does enjoy them.
Truly, though he may be slightly aggressive with it, he’s affectionate in his own way. You’ve definitely softened him up, and he can’t help but smile whenever you kiss or hug him, chuckling as he wraps his arms around you. He’s just a man in love, honestly. No doubt about it. <3

A/N: Starting myself off , with something basic n easy !
*ೃ༄ Kaeya Alberich relationship hc’s
Tumblr media
Ever the flirtatious one, expect this man to keep you on your toes 24/7. He’ll never pass up an opportunity to tease you, no matter what it is; Hands playfully squeezing your waist, fingertips brushing over your lips with a feather-like lightness, kissing the spot below your ear tenderly, etc. Never a dull moment.
Despite all his teasing, Kaeya also knows how to be soft and genuine with you. You are his lover, are you not? He’ll hug you gently yet firm on any occasion—chuckling as his lips meet yours for the thirtieth time in five minutes. He knows he’s a bit of a handful, so he’s gotta repay you somehow, y’know?
Quite the dramatic. Kaeya won’t hesitate to let you know if he feels like he hasn’t been getting enough of your attention, pouting and throwing himself over you while monologuing about how lonely he feels when you aren’t loving on him. He’s overexaggerating, obviously. But there is some truth behind his words. Just make sure you give his spoiled self enough attention.
He isn’t ashamed of your love in any way, shape, or form. Kaeya’s always talking about how wonderful you are to his colleagues, and to the poor people who happen to be sitting around him at the Angels Share. Diluc and Rosaria know everything there is to know about you. Kaeya could just scream to the hills how much he loves you.
His love for you knows no end, and there is absolutely nothing he wouldn’t do for you. The blue-haired man is very reliable, especially when it comes to you. He wants you to put all your trust in him, and he’ll always come through for you. <3

"kazuha, i'm really busy right now."
you sigh when he rests his hands on your shoulders from behind you. you've been stuck at your desk for hours, steadily chipping away at your assignment. it's not very difficult, but it is tedious; the sheer amount of steps and subsequent writing you have to do has made your head spin for days. but it just so happens that the one day you find yourself making headway on the assignment is the day that kazuha decides that you should be resting.
whenever you push your chair out to stretch, kazuha's there at your side asking if he can steal you from your work for a moment; when you leave your desk to get yourself a snack, he tries to keep a conversation in an attempt to keep you longer than necessary -- hell, every time you so much as sigh, kazuha just somehow happens to be passing by to give you some attention.
you fully understand why he's so doting, and honestly, it's adorable. but duty calls, and he's distracting you. it's surprising that he's finally trying to stop you directly.
nimble fingers press gently into your shoulders, giving you a light massage. "you've been at this all day, dove." he's speaking really close to your ear. you don't know when he bent down, but the sudden noise makes you jump. "i'm worried that you're going to burn yourself out."
he has a point. this assignment isn't due for another week, so you could honestly pass on working for the day, but you've already started. "i won't. you don't need to worry." you reply, leaning your head back a little. you don't want to give in, but the massage he's giving you is working wonders. "let me at least get to a good stopping point, and then i'll call it quits for the day."
kazuha's fingers pause. he moves to your side and tilts your chin up to get a better view of your face. he looks concerned, and you suppose it's not unwarranted. "do you promise?" he asks seriously.
"mmh, promise." you give him your most convincing smile. you fully intend to keep said promise, too; you're getting tired of looking at all those words, anyhow.
you're about to turn back to your work when kazuha's thumb brushes over your bottom lip. you're aware of what that means. "kazuha..."
"indulge me for a moment, will you?" kazuha's eyes become slightly hooded as he leans closer. "just a moment. that's all i ask."
he may be telling the truth, but more often than not, one moment turns into three, and you'll never finish your work. so, just before he can kiss you, you raise your hand between the two of you, stopping kazuha in his tracks.
you giggle when his eyes blow wide. "let me finish first," you say again, "and then i'm all yours."
you can feel the way kazuha's lips push into a pout against your fingers, and it makes you laugh. you're not surprised, though, when kazuha pulls your hand away and kisses you properly to shut you up.
"you're cruel, starlight." kazuha pulls away slightly to mumble in the space between you. "i'm going to have to take another moment from you."
fuck it, you decide. the assignment can wait. you close the gap and kiss kazuha once more, chuckling when he hums contentedly. he pulls on you gently to get you to stand up and when you do, you find yourself trapped in his arms immediately.
"you're so needy." you mutter teasingly. "this 'moment' is going to end up lasting forever, isn't it?"
kazuha's grin is coy. "if that's how long it takes for me to get my fill, then so be it."

a/n: the brainrot too strong send help i feel like i would explode if i dont keep writing
Recommended Readings: A Friend In Me Part 1
Masterlist
tw: mild violence, yandere
Valentine's Day
Yandere Platonic Toman Boys AU
Tumblr media
"Please go out with me!"
The sun had just started to rise over the horizon outside the vast windows that lined the school corridors, rays of morning light bleeding into the night sky. You had barely taken a few steps down the main hallway of your middle school, yet Baji had already lost count of the number of times you had to turn down various shitstains that dared to approach you.
"I appreciate the thought Tsuta-kun, but I'll have to turn down your offer." You smiled, your eyes soft and kind even as you patiently turned down another schoolmate, one hand pushing the offered chocolates back towards your gifter. The respectful option was, of course, using both hands to reject the honestly gorgeous gift, but your other hand was busy - fingers intertwined tightly with Kazutora's behind your back, a precaution that you had deemed necessary given the death glares you could feel radiating without even turning around to look.
Hooking your arm with your other apparent bodyguard, you tossed one last gentle smile at your now dejected looking schoolmate, one smile too many in Baji's opinion, before tugging your two friends along down the corridor, trying your best to ignore what you knew was hateful glances shot backwards at everyone and anyone that dared turned their gaze your way.
The beams of light that twinkled into and hurt your eyes through the outside foliage as you all but dragged your friends into your homeroom only seemed to confirm the sinking feeling in your gut. This was going to be a long day.
Your teachers had barely questioned, or barely dared to question, the extra students that had pulled chairs up to your table - busy themselves with scribbling large neat words onto dusty blackboards instead. Most likely that had to be the reputation your friends had built themselves at your school over the past two years or so despite not even being students themselves; even your teachers could recognise them by face, and were reluctant to cross them. What had started as just Baji and Kazutora in the morning had somehow grew into all six of your friends, making seating at your small single-person table extremely tight.
Class had been all but dead silent today, with only the sound of scratching chalk, and then the sound of breathing directly in your ear after Mikey had arrived, breaking the seeming tension in the air; Mikey choosing to seat himself directly in your lap, all but draped over your shoulder. But then again, you mused on the unusual quietness, it might have just been the nervousness of having to approach the candy of their eye, whoever the lucky individual may be, and you found that you couldn't really blame them.
Your locker was full. Stuffed to the brim with boxes of every color and size, you didn't need to turn around to know what kind of look the six boys that had tailed you all the way through the corridors, all in some way attached to your limbs or clothings, were sporting.
At least out here, there was the usual hustle and bustle of the lunch crowd flowing towards the cafeteria, combined with the occasional calls of 'Happy Valentine's Day!' and the rustle of boxes being exchanged. Letting out a sigh while running one hand through your hair, you had to admit you were stumped. What to do now?
If you had to be honest with yourself, the attention that you started receiving from both male and female students seemingly out of the blue, beginning in your final year of middle school, made you feel very uncomfortable in your own skin. Model material, was what you heard from a scouter along the central shopping street, before he was all but dragged off by his collar by Mitsuya. Breathtaking, was another that was muttered as you were approached with flowers, before he too, was lifted by the back of his shirt and taken away by Draken. But it was hard to believe what you hear, especially when you stood in front of your full-length mirror at night, pinching your skin and your face when you were alone in the dark.
The eyes that trailed you as you swept past in the streets and school corridors made you feel even more exposed, though the occasional black Toman jacket that your friends seemed more than willing to loan you hanging from your shoulders over your school uniform did somewhat make you feel safer.
"You know what, just leave it." Slamming the locker door back shut, you turned around, and instantly, the furious looks all but evaporated from the faces and eyes of your friends, replaced by almost excited ones when you held up a medium-sized paper bag, one that you had hidden in your locker earlier, before the heaps of gifts had been shoved in through various slots in the door. Chocolates. Even better, it was your handmade chocolates.
"No need to rush." You laughed, as each boy eagerly reached in to grab their box, all the same size yet wrapped in paper with patterns similar to the furoshiki of their bento boxes.
"Can we open them now?" Pah-chin seemed particularly impatient, his hand already tugging on the white ribbon that wrapped around his.
"Of course you can. Go right ahead, Pah-chin." You beamed, happy to see that your late nights and sore fingers were well received, even as you continued running your fingers through Baji's hair, who had buried his face into the crook of your neck after giving a particularly nasty look to yet another student who was trying to approach you with a box in hand.
Yet it seemed that your bag wasn't as empty as previously expected despite all six founders having received their gifts, Draken's sharp eyes quickly spotting one last box, albeit a much smaller one compared to theirs, that still weighed down your paper bag. "Who's the last box for?"
"Fufu." You absentmindedly replied, one hand scratching the back of your head, before your brain finally caught up to your mouth. Shit.
Mistuya lazily raised one eyebrow at you. "Fufu?"
"One of my favourite community cats." Came your hopefully smooth response, the sun seemingly doing you a favour by momentarily shining directly into your friends' eyes, giving you just a mere second to school your face. "The little white and orange tabby."
"Can cats even eat chocolate?"
Chuckling, you retrieved the box, gently unwrapping the ribbon and removing the lid. Peering inside, neat rows of white fishes and hearts lined an equally white piece of baking paper. "White chocolate with tuna. I'm sure it'll be a hit."
The boys wrinkled their noses, their jealousy now all but forgotten as your friends quickly dug into their boxes, the gushing of chocolate in their mouths washing away their previous annoyance.
"Fufu!" Throwing your arms around him from behind, Chifuyu let out an oof as your full weight was placed momentarily on him, his arms coming round behind to catch you and gently lower you back down to the ground. The sun was now much lower on the horizon compared to lunch time, the dark of the night creeping slowly as the light retreated behind the hills in the distance.
"So I heard that I'm a cat now eh?"
The tall walls of the shopping centre blocked most of the bustle from the street, with just a muffle of sounds bleeding into the alleyway where your boyfriend had been waiting. You giggled as he turned to playfully ruffled your hair, gingerly picking out and handing over the last box, a small white one wrapped delicately in pink ribbon. "Better than being a boy around the others right?"
All he could do was smirk in response, accepting the small box from you - he already knew the answer to that, the brutal beatings he witnessed dealt out by Baji towards his supposed rivals all too clear in his mind.
"Careful, there's a piece that's tuna." You mumbled, rubbing your face into his sweater, the weariness from the day's events starting to get to you.
But it seemed your warning went unheeded. "Oh fuck, that's nasty! Tuna?!"
Although all you responded with was a roll of your eyes as he hacked out your gag chocolate into a piece of tissue, the 'I told you so' clear without being uttered, the gentle, adoring smile that reflected in your eyes never left your face. Hooking your arm into his, you leaned your head on his shoulder even as you tugged at him to walk. "Come on kitty cat, let's get out of here before you get caught."

kazuha + hurt/comfort + normal au + childhood friends to lovers, please <3
MAPLE LEAVES.
hello and goodbye; the autumn comes and passes, yet you still wait.
pairing: kazuha/gender neutral reader (platonic, romantic)
category: hurt/comfort + (implied bc apparently i can’t do it any other way) childhood friends to lovers, reader is kind of bland in this one i’m sorry LOL
note: i feel like this fic makes no sense 😍 el oh el; i think i changed his story kind of pls kazuha lovers forgive me
Tumblr media
everything seemed to be more vibrant when you were children.
the sun hanging up high in the sky, the butterflies you caught, the way his hair glistened when the both of you got wet in the rain. the way his eyes were the same color as the maple leaves over his head.
the first long goodbye that you shared was the one when you had to travel with your parents on a business trip for a week or two. looking back at it, it wasn’t so long, yet for two kids that didn’t know the flow of time, it seemed like forever.
are you going to come back?
‘course i will, kazu. and i’m gonna bring you a lot of souvenirs!
promise?
promise!
the second long goodbye happened when he was leaving in a hurry, excitement in his voice. he barged into your family home and brought a weird sense of relief with him — a weird one, considering he was one with no mora to his name anymore, the eldest son of a just fallen clan. he seemed free and before he even spoke, you knew what he was going to say. and you were no one to keep him here.
i’m gonna travel the forests and mountains, dove. the nature speaks and it calls out to me; and i am not the one to decline it’s calling.
i know you’re not, kazuha. just remember, if you ever need a place to stay, i’ll be here. i’ll always be here.
it was also the first time he kissed you, successfully ruining the chances for you pursuing anyone else, whether he was aware of that or not. it was quick and harsh, and it was not enough.
the third long goodbye happened after tomo challenged the raiden shogun to a duel. after kaedehara kazuha caught his friend’s vision and fled, fled as fast as he could. after kaedehara kazuha became a wanted criminal in every corner of inazuma.
the funny thing with this goodbye was the fact that it never really happened. he used to come back, from his travels, with trinkets and stories, new poems and the wind. and you drank up every word that spilled from his lips like honey, treasured the sight of him as if it was the last time you’d see him and held him as if he was a mere imagination created by your brain; gently, carefully. fearfully.
you were fearful and kaedehara kazuha was anything but that. he was a free soul, the one of a wanderer and you were but a mere human waiting for him to come back. if kaedehara kazuha was the free winds and stories yet to be discovered, you were the calm breeze and the feeling of familiarness that one feels while stepping into their childhood home.
he left a letter; scribbled and left under your pillow and when you found it you held it without opening it for hours on end.
kaedehara kazuha was gone and you knew this time, you might not see him again.
do not wait for me. do not wait for me, please. you deserve someone else. you deserve better.
but you didn’t want someone else and you didn’t want better. you wanted him.
and so autumn came the way it always did; and it passed the same way it always did. and you waited. you waited while the seasons were changing and waited while the maple leaves grew and fell.
and he came back. the same way he always did; with a new poem and a story and for the first time, with tears in his eyes.
i’m sorry, i’m so sorry. you’ll never have to wait again.
i’d wait for you a hundred years if that’s what i’d have to do. you’re worth it all.

here ya go :D. hopefully my asks go through hehe -kitkat anon
Hello kitkat! It's been a while :DDD
I hope you are doing well <3
I know it says high school au, but think of this as part of the college au nodnod! Have a few short drabbles about the boys and how they pine after you hehe
Albedo OTL I love him sm smmmm I actually have a jean jacket that color that's big on me so seeing him in a jean jacket,,,ehe just casual wear in general- espec. because I usually doodle him wearing sweaters and stuff so a tshirt and jean jacket...so big brain
You sit a few seats away from him in Chemistry and it's clear to you and your classmates that Albedo is something of a genius.
He's always interacting in class, raising his hand, asking questions with a slight tilt to his head, scribbling notes in his notebook. Little do you know, the scribbles are mostly sketches of things that've caught his attention throughout the day. One such being a side-profile of you. It's pretty obvious that you stare at him. Of course it's natural for you to occupy a little bit of his thoughts.
Why do you stare, for one?
There's a slight smile on your lips, and he now wonders just what it is that makes you smile and...maybe he can find a way to inspire one as well.
He blinks, out of his reverie, and looks back at the board to see the new topic, returning to his notetaking while the thought of you lingers in the background. It's silly, yes, to think of such things, but he can't help but be intrigued by you. Tapping his pencil against the line pages, he remembers that the cafe close by started advertising a few new desserts.
Surely, it'd be worth the chance to get to know you better.
Kazuha and Scaramouche?? They're fantastic too aaaaa and I love the little labels besides them ahaha makes me think of that one Anti-Romantic, which I think fits them both well (Scaramouche due to his backstory, Kazuha due to his desire to find out more about visions before anything else) so yeah!
These two are unlikely friends, not just with their personalities, but also with the fact that Scaramouche doesn't give anyone a second glance while Kazuha steals hearts left and right.
Though, one thing is certain. They share similar interests.
You.
By some coincidence, you've managed to catch their eyes. Whether it's the way you handled some situation with ease--quick and decisive--the sound of your laugh, the way that your hand curls around a drink-warmed paper cup, whatever it was was enough.
You have singlehandedly managed to chip away at the iciness surrounding Scara, his eyes automatically scanning his surroundings the moment he steps out of class in hopes that you might be passing by.
But even with his feelings, he has trouble with expressing them. Some afternoon, he approaches you, throat bobbing and eyes flicking to you and back to the tree just over your shoulder. Was...was it always so hard to just say how you feel??
Kazuha on the other hand has seen you pass by his usual spot settled beneath a tree. There have been times where he muses out loud to himself, noticing the way that you seem to stop and listen once in a while, and it's something that he's come to appreciate.
After all, one thing he values is the ability to just stop and take a moment to appreciate all that is around you. These little moments are ones that he looks forward to dearly. Next time, he'll invite you to sit with him.
Maybe you might inspire a few verses.
Now...the difficulty lies in their realization of each other's feelings for you. Luckily (though, perhaps not so luckily), neither are willing to lay down their metaphorical weapons, and intend to make their feelings known to you.
Who would you choose :3c
And Xiao!! The gentle sweetie who looks like a bad boy- ahhh yesyesyes please.
Xiao would be the quiet kid in class that people end up assuming is a troublemaker because he seldom talks or answers questions but after school he stops by a certain alleyway to check on this little stray cat.
It's incredibly antsy and shy, hissing and scratching whenever he comes close (you notice that he has scratches along his knuckles and fingers, everyone assumes he gets in fights despite the lack of bruises), but he's there without fail with some food and water.
One day when you're tagging along with him after classes (you're project partners, after all), he stops and you can't help but stare wide-eyed at the kitten. Though you can't come too close, he gazes at it, expression soft, telling you how once it warms up to him he plans on adopting it.
By the time that the month has passed, you've become somewhat good friends--you learn that he plays guitar, that helps at one of the local shops often because the owner is a kind old woman, Xiao often insisting to do the work so she can rest. He's kind, selfless.
When the little cat ends up warming up to you too, he offers for you to visit so they don't have to miss you. You don't miss the slight tinge of red on his cheeks and ears.
-
I love it all
My boyssss OTL OTL
