barbarian!bakugo + buying apples. you’ll notice I didn’t put any work into this making it more … fantasy-like. And that’s bc… I still couldn’t figure out how😞

(warning: misogyny, you are described as a maiden / dress wearing, you have a pa, world building sucks, bakugo … doesn’t talk)

-

Being the only maiden on one of barbarian!Bakugo’s cross country journeys. I’m not sure yet how or why you’re there, but I’d say he’s traveling and one of his fellow clansmen took you as a prize, or maybe you just hitched a ride on their cart yourself.

But they stop in a small village one day, parking their horses at the edge of a town square of cobblestone and brick, merchant booths surrounding the small shops: of butchers and farmers and fishermen and traders, all rowdy and beaming as they show off their wares.

The men split up (the one with green hair in a leather vest declaring he needs a blacksmith, the lanky one with dark bangs in the direction of new snare wire), though the bulky blonde one (the one in thick furs and pelts who’s never really spoken to you) stays around, picking at the shiny, pink apples of a booth quite close to where the cart you sit on in boredom is parked.

“Five gold for a sack, sir” the man behind the creaky, wooden stand says. He’s stout, thin-haired and wrinkly, all his years in the sun selling fruit showing proudly on his tanned skin. He gestures to the wide array of fruits, each like a piece of candy he wants to show off.

Bakugo (you think his name his, or rather, that’s how he was introduced to you by the redhead with unnaturally sharp teeth, biggest of the group) glances up, frown thin and tense and blood red eyes narrowed. His shoulders shift, the muscles of his exposed stomach rippling as he breathes, the smooth skin of his forehead pinching as if he’s calculating a sale just as he would any other battle or raid.

The sign next to both the men clearly states that apples are two gold a sack. Pears are three, plums are one. “But I’ll give you a deal for four gold,” the man continues.

The blonde ponders, inspecting the apples diligently as if they could be poison, or a waste of a trade. His eyes narrow slightly, lips pursing, and you realize, in his reaching for coin, the intuition he so usually takes pride in (saving the men once from a brutal hound attack, and you, too, another time when a swamp dweller caught the hem of your trousers) is not there… and that they don’t use the same alphabet. Maybe he can’t even… read.

“For two gold,” you call.

Both parties look to you. One set of eyes in an suspicious glare, the other in a tart and angry bitterness. The merchant’s leathery face sinks into a melted frown, his fists clenching as your own hand shields your eyes from the bright sun and hides a protective squint.

“Didn’t your pa ever tell you not to meddle in grown men’s business?” he half-shouts back, the laugh in his voice now tangled with a snarl, downright and plain rude.

“The sign says two,” swinging off your seat, you smooth down your simple frock as you point to the wooden board stained with charcoal that’s hung up next to him. “One sack of apples for two gold.”

Bakugo’s eyebrows raise for the briefest of seconds, then fall in another glare as his hand drops from where he holds his coin (in small, canvas bag tied to his belt with thin, leather cord. It sags against his hip, his pants dipping and uncovering a v-line that descends further into a region you’ve only seen once; at a bathing river in the hills, the bare curve and marks of your own hips exposed—)

“Don’t know where you picked up letters, missy,” the merchant scoffs. “Reading is men’s work.”

You approach the barbarian’s side, his head (messy with hair) tilted towards you as he watches on in silence. From the pocket of your dress, you take out two gold of your own and flick them on the table before you.

“My pa taught me how.”

Then you take Bakugo’s hand (thick and rough and hard to hold) in one of yours and march right back to the horses and cart. Bag of sweet, pink apples in the other.

#bakugou x reader #Bakugo #I am so lazy #I just wanted to post this lmfao sorry if it’s sucks #will fix any mistakes soon! #I’ve just been caught up in this weird fantasy of like…. being captured by some barbarians and surprising them with your sophistication #and saving them from some weird sh*t #I think it would surprise Barbarry Bakugo if u like . could read and he couldn’t #but this is like. a bad representation of that LOL #idk why I’m having so much trouble with the fantasy set up #gusss well just have to deal #dunno ..

I rewatched xxxHolic while I was away (and found somewhere to watch Season 2/the OVA) and came out the other side with two self inserts, only one of which I've managed to draw up reference for fdkgjdfk I'll get to the other one eventually.

Quick lore for WaTanuki under the cut

He's a young Tanuki that Domeki found injured and nursed back to health. After falling in love with Domeki, the Tanuki starts using his transformation powers to turn into Watanuki, who he perceives to be Domeki's most precious/favorite person.

At first it's just mimicry for disguise sake, staying near Domeki on his walk to and from school, clinging all over him the entire time (driving the real Watanuki crazy). Then he starts actually mimicking Watanuki, making Domeki lunches exactly as he's seen Watanuki do, mimicing his voice, his silly movements, copying him in every way.

Eventually Domeki realizes that the Tanuki is trying to take Watanuki's place and tells him to knock it off in his usual blunt manner. The next day the Tanuki doesn't accompany Domeki to school, but is still there when they arrive, granted in his Tanuki form and looking rather sad. Watanuki, ever the worrier, thinks Domeki's just being an uncaring asshole and runs off during lunch to go find the Tanuki.

The Tanuki decides this is the perfect time to finally become Watanuki, and locks the real Watanuki in the school's outdoor storage shed, taking his form and playing the perfect Watanuki act to fool Himiwari and Domeki.

It isn't until they're about to leave school that Domeki notices a leaf in WaTanuki's hair. Removing it turn him back into his spirit form, causing Domeki to demand to know where the real Watanuki is.

After freeing Watanuki from the freezing shed, the little Tanuki begins to cry. He just wanted to become Domeki's most precious person. Someone everyone liked, someone Domeki loved, someone with a lot of friends.

Domeki kisses the little Tanuki's forehead and assures him he is precious to him, just as he is.

After that, Domeki commonly wears a Tanuki charm, which is his little Tanuki in disguise, either as a necklace or bracelet. The Tanuki isn't as strong as the Pipe Fox, but serves the same animal companion purpose.

He also sometimes still transforms into WaTanuki, though just for fun or to tease Watanuki.

#Emile's Arts #no romantic for this one just a crush on Domeki because I do think he's cool #Though it's mostly for the implied Domeki crush on Watanuki my beloved #I just think it's unfair the Domeki doesn't have an animal companion!!! #Watanuki gets the Pipe Fox Himiwari gets a bird give Domeki a Tanuki!!!! #And let it try to kill Watanuki and take his place!!!! #Lonely little Tanuki just wants to be loved #In my head he EVENTUALLY ends up with the young Kitsune from Fox Udon sense they're about the same age #but that's an eventually #xxxHolic #xxxHolic OC #Sure why not #I have a large handful of Holic one off episode ideas and this was just my personal favorite #I'll get to the other one Eventually #Right now it is August and I am so exhausted all the time

[radioscientist]

I love the parallel in these episodes between Watanuki choosing to suffer so that the ghost woman wouldn’t ever feel as alone as he has, and Doumeki choosing to risk his relationship with Watanuki in order to save him by purifying her with the arrow because he promised himself he’d never let Watanuki be alone again and he’ll be DAMNED if he lets him fade away

#anime #radiowaves #xxxholic #XXXHolic #holic #*AHHHH* #*AHHHH GUYS GUYS GUYS* #*something something THE SELFLESS WATANUKI SUFFERING AND DYING FOR HER NOT TO BE ALONE* #*VS THE SELFISH DOUMEKI DECIDING WATANUKI’S WELL-BEING IS H I S AND REFUSING TO LET HIM THROW IT AWAY* #*yeah it’s not SELFISH and SELFLESS per say like there’s obviously shades and shades to this* #*but I love how Doumeki saves Watanuki recklessly* #*watanuki will let the world wear him away for everyone until he is nothing because he is too kind and he has no self worth* #*doumeki will cling onto whatever he’s decided is his and he will not let anything take it no matter what* #*his DESCENDENTS still watch over him for fucks sake* #*doumeki is also kind but he is not recklessly horribly kind* #*he understands the cost of taking on responsibility for Watanuki and he will pay it but he will NOT let him disappear* #*oh god OH GOD THE FEELINGS*

#cant sleep so im holic rambling abt the first thing to come into my head again #xxxholic #its a wild twist but it makes perfect sense lol #everything we learn abt shizuka is just another vine thud in the gay lake #watanuki is so funny cause i rly loved his character from day 1 but it was knly later that i realised how painfully like him i am #as a teenager i also shoved my feelings to the back of my brain so i didnt have to think about them without realising #how else do you think it took so long for me to come out as my actual identity
