Tumblr media
The boastful red Oni had always been known for his large figure, but despite his intimidating size he held an even bigger heart inside; One that he – not out of his will – had found to be thumping faster for you than it had at any other Onikabuto match! Though, as his love festers how long could he withhold his feelings till everything becomes too much? He hopes that he could acquire the achievement of having blossomed a love for him too, but sometimes it's better to savour the match than the outcome.
Tumblr media
You could say without a doubt in your mind that Itto was one of if not the nicest people you've known. You knew he could be kind of overwhelming at times… but he always had the best intentions! That's why you liked him and truly cherished him, he was a down to earth guy and you greatly respected him for it. However, as it seems, that respect didn't make you blind enough to accept his countless requests to join the Arataki Gang.
He liked that, though. No challenge is too tough for the Mighty-Do-It-All-In-One-Arataki-Itto!
It had been a sunny day, too sunny you'd say. The sun was blazing its rays down upon inazuma, serving as a reminder to how with each passing day you found summer nearing. Frankly, you weren't looking forward to it. There were good and bad aspects: The good part is that business will be booming with more people who want to have something fresh and sweet to cool them down. The bad side? You worked at a protein stall, it was filled with fruits from inside and outside of Inazuma, however the ones from the country were without a doubt the best, being fresh and all. Point is though; you have to do a lot of back and forth to transport these fruits from Ritou to Inazuma city, and it isn't easy.
Luckily for you, you were spotted by Itto.
He and his crew were standing around by the docks of Ritou watching boats come and go, trying to think of anything they could do. Itto had been suggesting ideas but the reception has only been either disappointed faces or repeatedly re-stating that they had already tried that.
"What about another festival? This time, we'll have the Ultimate Epic Onikabuto Tournament!! Ehh??" Itto suggested but their reaction is no different than the previous one. Akira pipes up, likely with a rebuttal, "Boss, we couldn't even get the papers last time!" Itto gives a grin as though he had expected this. Yes, of course a true genius such as himself would've thought ahead.
"Ah-ah, We have Shinobu." He tuts, wagging his finger. "But Boss- Shinobu is too busy with exams!" Genta adds on, and maybe he wasn't that much of a genius as the Oni's face merely drops at the realisation, his mouth forming into an 'o' shape like it hadn't crossed his mind once beforehand. He curses under his breath, snapping his fingers as he tries to think of something else and to his luck, he does, pointing his finger upwards as though his eyes had been opened.
"Well, what if-" His words trail till his voice eventually dies down and his eyes seemingly look past the gang and towards something else, someone else. It was you. You two had come to be quite familiar with each other as soon as you came to Inazuma as he and his gang visited your stall often at the market and have attempted to recruit you a couple of times, although one could see how that's gone. He thought you would've made a great addition with your personality and despite how you mostly just live your day to day life as anyone would he had witnessed you fight at times, and, honestly, it drew him in. It felt as though you were on a stage, capturing his attention even when you had no intent of doing so. But this isn't about that!
You were moving a cart filled with the new storage you had ordered for the stall, but it seems that to your dismay you had forgotten just how long the staircases were. Your face turned bitter as your gaze lifted up, watching as the stairs only extended further and further.
It's not like he doesn't know you could take the other path, but you seemed too fatigued! Plus, this was the perfect opportunity! He'd show you just why you should join the Arataki Gang! "Boss? Boss??" "Do you think he fell asleep standing up?" "With his eyes open?! Creepy…" The rest of the crew conversed amongst each other as to the cause of Itto's blanking out only to be interrupted by the thunderous clasping of his hands.
"Alright, Gang! Our mission is to recruit," He outstretched his arm, finger pointing to your figure "Them!". They were going to remind him that this hadn't been the first time they had attempted to, but seeing the determination glistening in his gaze, they opted against it. Still he didn't fail to acknowledge their original response. "C'mon guys! I know they miiight have refused a couple of times but they just don't know what they're missing out on! We're the Arataki Gang, we don't just stop at no!"
And this is probably why they needed Shinobu, because now they were all walking towards you with confidence and excitement, hyping each other up. It was the peak essence of the Arataki Gang.
You don't fail to miss the overzealous presence that grows closer and when you face the location it arose from you weren't the slightest bit surprised at the discovery. As always it seems that the crew were up to something astounding or unusual, or both. Is what you assumed.
"Hey hey, compadre! Seems like you're in a tough spot." The Oni starts, greeting you with a wide grin on his face as he chuckles. He's quick to close the gap between you two, standing relatively close to you. "Ah, Hey Itto." You reply dryly, staring at the others in acknowledgement. "Shinobu isn't with you today?" You ask, noticing the lacking presence of a certained green-haired rebel. She was the only real sensible one so when she's not here it's hard not to notice.
He rolls his eyes, an arm on his hip as he uses his other hand to make overly exaggerated gestures. "Well, we invited her to join us but she said that she was 'busy' being 'productive'." Curling his fingers as he air quotes. "Pssh, it's whatever, we don't need her!" Disregarding how clearly offended he was by her 'abandoning' the group. All you do is giggle at usual behaviour. It was always nice to see him just being himself every day, it made you feel like even if everything went to hell he'd always stay the same.
"Either way, don't you worry about this cart! We'll take care of this one." We? Take care of the cart?? Wait, what.
You didn't get a chance to indulge in idle chit chat with the rest of the crew nor did you have time to process what he said before having the handles pulled away from you, looking forward only to see that the crew was beginning to lift the cart from each side. Your alarms were beginning to go off.
"Itto- What's this?? Really, there's no need for- Oh god." You could barely let yourself finish a comprehensive sentence. You didn't know how to feel about this. An arm slithered around your back, the hand on your shoulder pulling you closer. "Heyy, don't worry about it! The Arataki Gang is here to handle everything!" He reassured, patting your back as you nervously watched the rest climb the stairs slowly. This didn't seem smart, most of Itto's ideas weren't despite his good intent.
"Itto, I don't think-" You started but the sound of multiple items tumbling down the multiple staircases all at once cut you off and as you watched all the vegetables and fruits fall down, getting bruised with each drop, you just covered your mouth in shock, unable to fully comprehend what you saw or what it meant for you.
Despite the sound that had put both you and Arataki into a frozen state while the others kept climbing without looking back, it appeared the noise had fallen onto deaf ears. You made a mental note to suggest they go get that checked out. Only when reaching the top as they set the cart down did Genta comment, "Wow, Boss! This cart was really ligh- Oh." The silence was deafening as they had witnessed exactly why the cart had lost most of its weight on the climb up.
Passersby who were around to witness what happened merely felt pity for you. But Itto? Itto just felt guilty as he peered over at you to see you practically on the verge of tears. This wasn't what he wanted.
He raises his hands up as he tries to calm you down, "Hey! It's all okay- We'll handle it, trust me!" He stutters over his words nervously trying not to push you over your limit. Dense as he may be he knows he's messed up and as he looks around trying to ponder what to do, he starts picking up the fallen produce, his crew quickly rushing down the stairs and helping him.
You weren't upset. Sad, and somewhat exhausted? Yes, very much so. But you wouldn't take it out on them knowing they didn't mean to cause this. Still, you couldn't help the heavy sigh that leaves your mouth and it makes Itto's guilt weigh heavier on him. "Guys, it's fine," You reassure, stepping closer to aid them. "Things happen. Just leave it be, I'll take care of it." You're stopped on your path as Itto stares at you, in a way it was threatening. Cradling the bruised fruits in one arm as his other latches onto your shoulder, keeping you in place. There was a firm expression on his face. "No," He states. "This is my fault. I'll take care of it." He turns his head back towards the others. "You guys too, as well. It was my idea. Leave it to me."
You were about to retort before the rest of the gang did it for you, and you must admit they did it better than you could've. They had more of a solid reason compared to you as well, after all, they were a team.
"No way we're leaving you to it all alone, Boss!"
"Yeah, we're a gang, we stick together!",
"That's right, Boss! You know that best!"
They all spoke their thoughts, encouraging one another and Itto mainly as they maintained their ideology. Truthfully, you admired the gang's connection and commitment to one another. You believed that to have them be so passionate about this showed how good of a leader Itto was despite his few flaws. You were glad he had such good understanding people with him, and you were glad for them too.
An airy chuckle leaves the large man, his shoulders that before were sunken down like he had just been scolded raised back high as confidence seemed to seep back to him. It appears that he could always rely on them to snap him out of his concerns. "If you want to help me then I have something else you could do for me!" He peeked over at you, scanning your expression for any sign of resentment before turning his head to fully face you, relieved to be proven wrong.
With a bow he clasps his hands above his head, asking for your forgiveness as he makes a promise to compensate you, "I swear on the Arataki Gang's deep history that we will repay you for all the fruit!" The face of astoundment said it all. You doubted it. Severely. Not because you didn't take his word for it, but it's a lot of effort to put in. And you also weren't sure just how deep the history was.
"Uhm, Boss?" Mamoru steps all the way down, standing behind Itto. "I don't think we have that much mora…" He whispers into his ear. Right. Mora. Damn, society these days, always about mora! He snaps his fingers. And rather than it being a way to curse the blockage that had come onto their path, it switched a light bulb above his head.
He ecstatically widens his arms, forgetting the fruits in his hands as they fall once more, repeating the torture they had experienced before. You wince at the sight and so does he murmuring a small 'sorry' before resuming, "Then we just go and get them ourselves!" To this, a 'what' was said in unison by everyone, all except him. Hell, if it was that easy you wouldn't have been so damaged by the event that had occurred before you, no, you'd be on your merry way to pick some new fruits.
One thing you did know though, and you realised as soon as you laid eyes upon his face, was that there was no way you could persuade him. Itto wasn't easily swayed when it came to making up to people. He stuck to his words, an Oni never lies as he says. Albeit the bitter situation, you felt a tinge of happiness in your heart and a smile slipped onto your lips, your eyes narrowing onto his appearance in delight.
And he notices this. He notices it and he never forgets it like it had engraved itself into his mind. The wrinkles around your eyes, how your lashes curled in their own respective directions,, the glimmer in your orbs and the light that reflected off them, the slight soft arch of your brow. He doesn't forget them. Not even the curve of your lips, or the small tilt of your head.
When it came to you, he became more observant than usual, and he noticed things others wouldn't, but he wasn't aware that this could make him realise things about himself. In this moment he begins to feel something weighing on his heart, but this time it wasn't guilt. It was something very different.
Within that strange emotion he found a stronger drive to repent as soon as possible in hopes of seeing you smile at him that way again.
You were originally worried sick about what you were going to tell the boss, it had been all you could think about as you observed the others cleaning up at the boat docks, not wanting to leave them alone. But soon after taking care of the mess they had quickly left, departing after repeating once more that they'd bring you all that they damaged.
You appreciated the intention, but you didn't get why or how they thought they'd do it. Inazuma was filled with large land and some of the storage you had was exclusively grown outside of here, so unless they also had ordered the same exact shipment you couldn't see it happening. A sigh escapes your lips, you'd get wrinkles at this point. There wasn't much you could do about it other than pray to the Archons that something may save you from the wrath you felt was bound to come when you attended work.
It was difficult to think up a good excuse to tell your boss. I mean, this would be bad for the business. Really bad. You can't just lose the stock you need, there is only so much left and at this point you should just issue another order as soon as possible and try to make do with what you had.
Pondering about it wouldn't help you, you reminded yourself as you stayed seated on the stool of a local Inazuma restaurant, an empty glass next to you with only some small snacks for you to nibble at. The place had dim orangeish lighting, the wood was dark almost that of something you'd find in a cabin. You'd think this place would be bustling with people but in contrast it was rather quiet. It somewhat reminded you of that Tavern in Mondstadt.
You had known a couple of things about wine and alcohol due to the course you took having included it. You were beginning to wonder if maybe you should change your career path, go for something else. Mondstadt was the city of freedom after all, therefore those who stay there must be living in the land of the free.
Your thoughts were interrupted by the door swinging open, the jingle of the bell indicating the arrival of a customer. The one who entered was a long white-haired Oni you were immensely familiar with and you were more than certain was here for you as his eyes searched around till they located your figure, the smile making its way onto his lips as his eyebrows raised in excitement, verifying your hunch.
"There you are! I knew you'd be here." He exclaimed, taking a seat beside you despite his intent to only fetch you and get back on the road. "You did?" You ask. It wasn't like you often came here, you thought he must've asked around. You wonder what it must have been like. "Betcha. My Oni senses are never wrong!"
Now that was a new one. You gave him a smug smile before repeating what he had said, "Oni senses?" His face inches closer to you, "They're real." He quickly replied, a serious glint in his narrowed eyes as though this had not been the first time someone had questioned its authenticity. "Sure, sure," You disregarded it, giving him the belief he desired. You weren't sure you wanted a whole adventure just to discover if it's true or not.
"So, what is it that you wanted?" You inquire, assuming that he had been searching for you for a reason. "Awww, come on, bud! Do I need a reason to visit my favourite person?" Itto nudges you with a smirk. Favourite? You didn't know that. You knew you were somewhat close, you suppose, and he asked you to join the gang but to think you were his favourite. No, you're just over complicating things.
"I don't suppose you randomly decided to come visit your so-called favourite person for no reason now, do I? You're always up to something, Itto." He bites his bottom lip, pouting at your words, resting his head on his knuckles. It's true he always had something planned, but to think you didn't believe he'd be here just for you… it was kind of frustrating.
"Well, there is a reason for me coming here -But that doesn't mean I wouldn't come here just to see you!" His words are added on quickly so you don't have time to give a rebuttal or that cocky look he knew would've come otherwise.
There was more he wished to say, so much, but only one slipped out, and if he hadn't said it himself he wouldn't have even realised he had spoken at all. "I would come visit just to stare at you.." It's a mumble under his breath, muffled by the hand that partly covered his mouth, and as he whispers he isn't sure if he wants you to hear or not. He steals a glance at you, searching for a reaction, but you still have that smirk. Maybe you didn't hear…
He feels disappointed.
You notice the furrowing of his brows, though before you inquire as to why he seemed so bothered he had straightened his back, returning back to having that carefree smile you've become all too familiar with. "Now are you going to keep me waiting or what?!" He hops off the stool and gestures for you to join him and you hurriedly pay for your items before departing from the restaurant with Itto beside you.
"Seriously, where are you taking me?" You asked him again for what felt like a thousand times, hoping he'd finally told you. You knew the path, you often took it to get to work but you weren't sure why he'd need to have you go all the way here now. It didn't seem like you two were browsing the markets or stalls but rather Itto was specifically guiding you somewhere and as the streets of Inazuma City got more and more crowded you felt something large clutching onto your wrist. "Don't get lost behind!"
His hand was wrapped securely around your wrist, and you were grateful for his size seeing as he was able to see where he was heading much better than you did. Pulling your arm back to intertwine your hand, you felt more secure now that you could actually hold onto him properly, and you thought that maybe he felt the same considering how after the momentary hesitation he displayed, he held back even tighter. Every once in a while he'd squeeze your hand as if asking you if you were holding up and you'd merely reciprocate the gesture, answering him.
Luckily, thanks to his guidance you made it out of the crowd quicker than expected. You intended to wonder why there had been so many people but it appears the Oni before you was too excited to let you have that. "Come on, don't get distracted!" He pulled on your hand a bit reminding you of what you were here for and you merely gave him a nod, snapping out of your thoughts.
After a while he pauses, walking behind. "Alright, keep your eyes closed, 'kay?" Another hand laces its way over your eyes, blinding you. "Uhm, Itto, how am I meant to walk then?" To this you received a thunderous laugh in reply as though you had just about asked the dumbest possible thing. Which is impressive considering its the ever so dense Itto.
"That's what I'm here for!" He clarified, and you wanted to trust him, you did, but accompanied by the fact that you'd be looking like a lunatic to everyone around you, you felt somewhat embarrassed and he picked up on it. "Hey, don't worry about anyone else."
You feel the warmth of his breath hit the outer shell of your ear as he whispers, his voice evidently having softened. "You can't see them, they can't see you, right? Just focus on me, The Great Arataki Itto!" To this you let out a light giggle and he's content with that. Yeah, he can be fine with all of this.
He enjoys just being in your presence, being able to hold you like this, to be so close to you, to be just the comforting loud Itto you and many others know. Maybe you'll never realise how he feels. Still, he'll try. Someone as great as you should be made aware of it.
"Don't keep me waiting. Let's get going, Itto!" You nudged him out of his thoughts as you chuckled and he focused back on your figure. He should be living in the moment rather than getting caught up in such cheesy ideas. "You ready?" "Born ready." Yeah, you were going to be proven wrong. "Let's goooooo!" He yelled out, picking up your figure with ease, the arm behind your back supporting you as his hand reaches to keep your sights darkened.
All you feel is the slight hops as the wind hits your face as he runs, jumping down a short staircase as you let out a short yelp, bringing yourself closer to him as much as you can despite the little space left to do so, your actions only being recognised by his laugh and you could picture how he looks: his eyes shut, his already big smile widening more than you knew it could, how his hair frames his face. Sometimes you think Itto really is otherworldly entirely.
Eventually the running changes into small steps as you hear other whispered voices and Itto shushing them. The secure grip on you he has loosens as he slowly tilts your body, setting you down back onto the ground and you stumble back into his chest, relieved at the contact you didn't know you missed and an overwhelmed whine leaving you. "Don't tell me I was going too fast for you?" Your head tilts upwards to where the voice was coming from, feeling his well-structured chest behind you and slowly he removes his hands, revealing his face to you again. You smile.
"It's okay, many struggle to keep up with The Great Arataki Itto." Though he will slow down if it suits you better. Opening his eyes to gaze at you, the arm that stayed around your waist tightened ever so slightly at the sight of your smile. To be smiling at him so softly, he must be really lucky. The surprised expression he held warped into a reciprocated smile back, it wasn't wide as it normally was. In fact, it was barely noticeable. Though, his eyes held the real passion.
A cough interrupts the moment as you both glance over towards the source to see the Genta and Akira attempting to hide the smirks that grew at the sight, with Mamoru being the one to derail it, arm on his hip. He exchanges a knowing look with Itto and suddenly the Oni is no longer as quiet, seemingly having been reminded of the original intent.
"Right, right! The cart!" He exclaims, only for you to repeat, "The cart?" You tilt your head. "The cart!" The rest of the crew repeat simultaneously. OH. THE CART.
Somehow your eyes seemed to totally ignore the form that stood behind the crew. It was the very same cart you had been pushing earlier this morning, and to your surprise much like before, it was full. You wouldn't believe it. No, really, you couldn't, so you approached the cart and even felt the fruits and vegetables to verify that they were real and weren't made out of wax or something. You didn't think they'd poison your customers but you also did not know how far they'd go for you, and from this you could tell that they would go far.
"How even…?" You turned sideways, looking at the others puzzled. It was near impossible to get all of this done in a day, actually, it hadn't even been 24 hours! This didn't make sense, it was practically insane and yet here was the cart filled to the brim - it might've had even more than you needed. "Ehh? Whaddya think?" His arms raised outwardly, almost seeming like a prideful king. "Pretty neat, huh. We know." Confident as always as his hand finds home back on his hip, the other twisting as if to add flare.
Your confusion still wasn't answered, it only prevailed. "No, but really, how?? There is just no way this could be done in such a short time!" You began to question how far they went to get these, how much time, the struggle, I mean, this was no easy feat you knew that much. "Nothing is too far-fetched for the Arataki Gang!" His reply fell on deaf ears as you were too immersed, observing all the carts containments.
A chuckle leaves him and he approaches you, leaning down to you. "Maybe now you'll reconsider joining us?" You turn and you don't miss the corner of his lip lifted up into a smug smirk or how his eyes narrow down onto you as though he had you cornered. How could you deny them now after you've seen just how cool and incredible they are? "Tough luck, Itto."
You lightly hit his chest. "I'm thinking of going back to old Mond'." That's how.
And he didn't get it. He didn't get why you were still smiling without a single sign of sorrow or concern on your face. Why were you so relaxed when your words had been so… so painful to him? You see the confusion in his eyes, and you expect him to recover and encourage you, maybe say something about how his offer will always stand but he doesn't. Yes, he goes back to his go-lucky demeanour but you notice how it's slightly off. "What do you mean, compadre?! You can't leave us in the dust so abruptly!"
Pssh, what do they even have in Mondstadt? It's not even that great compared to Inazuma. Sure he's heard about the tails of their Archon, the city of freedom, blah, blah, blah, but when did you become interested in going there? "Pfft, I'm not leaving you in the dust. I've just been thinking…" You lean your back against the cart, holding onto a sunsettia, rubbing it with your thumb. "Mondstadt was really beautiful when I last visited Dawn Wineries vineyard. And, I've been thinking that maybe it's finally time I try leading a different route in life."
The Oni absorbed all that you said like a dry sponge, he was picking at everything you said. Were you not happy with where you were, weren't you content? But what about the people you know here? "What about me?"
Shit. He didn't mean to say that aloud.
Itto straightens his back and rubs the back of his hair as though dismissing what he himself said but you noticed the weight that question held. The face you, and only you, got to see. You don't think you've ever seen a face so tense. You felt like he was pleading with you, his crimson eyes penetrating you, reading you so clearly and you begin to question if you had underestimated Itto all this time. You cocked your head to the side, "Will you miss me?"
You were regarding the others behind him who were obviously aware of the conversation going on but were leaving out of respect for privacy.
Miss you… He repeats the question in his head, pretending to ponder it, to not blurt out what he thinks then and there. Itto looks back to see you two were alone and when he faces you again the expression he wears is sombre. "Let's go somewhere else, why don't we?" He gives you a hum, raising a brow at you and offering you a small simper hoping to dismiss what occurred, and although you agree to go elsewhere you wouldn't let it go.
You observed as Itto hopped from rock to rock, nearing the shore. He moved effortlessly, you shouldn't be surprised with his build. He turns you, urging you to hurry down and you do, latching onto the hand he offered you when you make it to the bottom. The two of you roam around the beach for a while before finding a shelter where you could sit and savour the view. That is, as much as you can with the atmosphere.
The white- haired Oni had been trying to smooth out the tension but you couldn't let it go. You didn't want to turn a blind eye and move on past it like it was nothing. You get that you leaving can be a big deal but you didn't like how he avoided his own emotions, it felt like he was hiding something from you.
As for him, he wanted to just relish in the few moments he has before everything falls apart. He was glad he got to take your hand for a bit as you walked and was said when they were separated because he knew that would likely be one of the last few touches of yours he'll ever have.
"Itto, what is it that's weighing on your mind?"
You are the one to interrupt the silence. Awaiting his answer that you knew he already had prepared.
He debated lying to you, making up something else or just acting as though it really only was you moving away that made him behave strangely. But he couldn't find it in him to do that to you, to deceive you so shamelessly. "I.. don't want you to go." It comes out as kind of a question, towards himself that is.
There was a conflict going on inside Itto and he didn't know how to resolve it. He desired your happiness, your comfort, of course he did, you mattered greatly to him but he found himself wondering why must you find that elsewhere, why couldn't he be the one to offer you that. Should he support you in your endeavours or should he allow himself to be selfish?
At the end of the day though, it was your choice, you both knew that, but you were curious nonetheless as to the underlying reason of his want for your company, "Why do you want me to stay?" Your words were carefully picked out. You weren't asking him why he didn't want you to leave, but why you should stay in the first place.
And, unlike what you expected, his answer comes quick as though it had been decided ages ago.
You hear him say it, you know you do, but with how the sound of gentle ocean waves sway and hit the sandy shore with a sound and how the wind appears to sway in his direction, almost leading you. You think that his words are taken with it. But you saw how his lips moved, how he had clearly confessed what held him back to you in a solemn tone with an expression almost as if he had already given up.
"Because I like you."
It was pitiful and yet he still smiled at you. He thought that it's no way good for him to offer you such a sorrowful face when saying such a thing.
"I don't just like you, I love you, and, I'm reminded of it with every moment I'm with you. Even now, even when I feel horrible and like I'm trying to keep you to myself my heart beats for you relentlessly. I don't know what to do."
You were unaware of the predicament you had put him in. How all those moments you two shared were never something small to him in the end. The reality is, Itto was always aware of his feelings, but, he wanted to keep reminding himself that this was enough, that your friendship was more than enough. But he was never that great a liar, if he was, he wouldn't have told you the truth and you wouldn't be here.
A hand reaches for his shoulder. His heart drops. He doesn't want to look at your face, because this was already confirmation of his rejection, he knew it. You don't need to say it. Don't say it.
The swirling glimmer in his orbs are no longer from the twinkle he normally held but what appeared to be tears, glossing them. He blinks them away as to not allow you to see him like that and you swallow your guilt. You don't need to speak. You merely inch closer to him, replacing your hand with your head and despite how you feel him freeze up for a moment, he slowly rests his head atop yours and you stay there for awhile.
Before, you recall thinking that Itto would be the one person in your life that would always stay the same no matter how much time flies. You weren't aware that you'd be the one to change him.
Before you departed Inazuma the owner had mentioned something odd on your last day about how the fruits seemed to rot quicker for some reason. You said it must've been the seasons changing but you thought it was peculiar nonetheless. You wondered what cause it, they were the same as any other fruit.

♡ Stuck Arataki Itto ♡
Tumblr media
Arataki Itto X Female!Reader Oneshot
CW: vaginal sex, cunnilingus, crackfic kinda, kissing, It's pretty vanilla
DNI! Minors you will be blocked!!
Arataki Itto.
He was my crush since we were kids but I never was able to tell him about how I truly felt. Until one day I would’ve never imagined that we would be stuck in a trap together.
“Oh shit! How are we going to get out of here!” I said. Itto banged on the cold walls of the cellar while we both yelled for help in hopes of someone hearing us.
“It’s hopeless no one is going to hear us,” I said and sat down on the ground itto follow while sighing “I’m sure someone will come in soon y/n! You just gotta cheer up!”
y/n started to sniffle trying to hold back her tears from the thought of never getting out “hey hey are you crying? What's wrong?” Itto asked
“What if we don’t make it out of here? If I knew that we were going to get stuck here with no help then I would’ve never taken this commission” Y/n wipes her tears and puts her head on her knees
“What???? Don’t say that y/n because then I would’ve gone on this adventure with you! Just hang in there and I’ll see if there's anything-”
“No Itto it’s okay, quit the optimism, we both know that there is no way out” Itto stopped smiling and all of a sudden the air was tense
“You know I wasn't always this optimistic”
Y/n scoffs and rolls her eyes “There's no way? You’ve always been like this since we were kids”
Itto picked up a rock and showed it to y/n “You see this rock? As a kid, I was always bullied and I wasn’t in the best of conditions. I had no friends and I was always alone.”
Itto threw it and it landed right next to another rock “Until someone came around and changed me, I was no longer crying every day but instead, I was smiling. They showed me what it meant to have someone to care about you and as I grew up I always wanted to make sure that the people around me gave me the same respect that the kid did, I carried the thought of everything always has a good side. it’s not always bad all the time.”
“Itto…am I the kid?” y/n said looking up at him. Itto looked and smiled back at her, y/n stood up and looked at itto. For a few seconds, it felt like time had stopped. She finally mustered up the courage and wrapped her arms around Itto, hugging him with tears as Itto stiffened from the sudden affection
“Oh my god Itto, why didn’t you tell me sooner!” Itto felt shocked but loosened up and hugged her back “Thank you y/n”
“No, don't thank me! Now I feel like a total ass after acting like that toward you!” Itto hugged her tighter and buried his face in the top of her hair.
“I Love you y/n” y/n backed up from the hug and blushed. She put her soft hands on his face and gave him a soft kiss on his forehead “I love you too”
Itto without hesitation kissed y/n. The kiss went deeper and deeper as he tasted her soft lips. “Oh fuck your lips taste so good,” he said between breaths that became heavier and heavier as they went on. Y/n pulled away to breathe “Do you want to do this?”
“Of course,” Itto said with a raspy voice. It was clear that he was already hot and bothered. Y/n pulled him back in for the kiss as they both started to pull off each other’s clothing piece by piece until you were both in their underwear.
Itto picked up y/n and wrapped her legs around him as he put her on the nearest wall while still passionately sharing a kiss. He started to kiss her neck while y/n started to softly moan from the pleasure. “Hmm… yes right there~,” she said in between her moans.
Itto pulled away and looked at y/n and his face turned a bright shade of red while looking into her eyes after realizing what he was doing “How are you already embarrassed? Should I take the lead instead?~” y/n said seductively
“I’m thinking about all the ways I should fuck you,” he said now with lust in his eyes. y/n blushed now instead of Itto. He started to kiss the top of your breasts and started to undo your bra at the same time.
He took it off and threw it on top of your other clothes and made his way down to your nipples then sucked on one of them while playing with the other making y/n start to moan softly again.
Itto moved and y/n sat her legs back down. She made eye contact and smiled then put her hand on his chest and slowly moved it down to his boxers, rubbing the outside as she felt him getting harder. She went on her knees and pulled down his pants, his cock springing out as he winced from it being sensitive.
Y/n’s eyes go wide as she sees it “Holy shit it’s big! I mean I’ve only heard rumors but it's so much bigger up close!���
“Rumors?” Itto said concerned
“Oh um, it was going around a while back when your ex was telling everyone” “We- Woah!” Y/n cut him off by putting his dick in her mouth, making him surprised. She took it out of her mouth and started teasing him by tracing her finger on the tip.
After a minute of teasing, y/n put it back in her mouth and started to move slowly earning a low groan from Itto. He put his hand on the back of her head and guided her to move faster. With every motion, he got louder.
“Y/n..ngh…I’m close” He said, barely getting it out of his mouth. Y/n took it out of her mouth and smiled
“You can’t cum yet, you haven’t fucked me” Itto kissed her and slid her panties off. He started to play with her folds and tease her as she did to him.
“Itto y-you can’t do that, I’m supposed to take the lead,” she said whimpering
“Who said you were taking the lead?” Itto replied. He slid a finger in and started to move fast. y/n gasped and threw her head back as she moaned.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“Yes oh my god go faster!~” y/n said in pleasure, Itto went rougher while maintaining a harder grip on her waist. He was hitting all the right spots making both of them fill the small room with loud whimpers and moans.
“Okay. I think I'm gonna..oh fuck.. cum this time~”
“me too” Itto’s movements started to get sloppier as y/n gripped the clothes on the ground. After a few hits, they both came at the same time.
As they breathe heavily y/n takes it out and turns around to kiss itto one more time
“Um…” a familiar voice said as they both turned and looked through the metal bars to see Gorou with a flushed face.
”GOROU?!” They both said in unison. y/n grabbed the clothes and clung them to her chest
“I'm sorry I feel like I interrupted something” Gorou hid his face and then started to walk away
“NO COME BACK, we've been stuck here for hours!” y/n said crying
“Oh right, I should probably get you guys out first” Gorou pulled the lever on the outside of the room and the metal bars finally opened
“Thanks dude, I owe you one!” Itto got up
“Itto don’t get up yet!!” Y/n quickly pulled him back down and gave him his clothes. “How did you even find us?” y/n asked.
“I was given the same commission and looked around the domain until I heard noises and then… you know what happens next” Gorou looked embarrassed and started to walk away again
“I’m going to leave you guys to change, we can meet up later” Itto and y/n looked at each other and laughed.

FESTIVE DESIGNS
character: arataki itto
warnings: i tried making the reader as gender neutral as possible :,)
summary: doing make up with itto that’s christmas themed! <3 (ive no idea where im coming up with these but this seemed so cute.)
Tumblr media
sitting down in your chair in front of your trusty mirror, you emptied a bag of cosmetics and jewels to apply to your face. it was Christmas, and what better way to spend it than to try and do an amazing Christmas design, but on yourself?
just as you were about to finish applying the finishing touches on the masterpiece, you heard itto’s voice.
“hello!,” itto buzzed boastfully as he entered your room. he looked at you silently as he watched you apply make up to your face. “hey, where’d you get these?” he asked, picking up a bottle.
“im doing christmas designs and makeup.” you said briefly drawing a star on your cheek.
“but you don’t usually wear make up..” he said, seemingly bummed out. “what’s wrong?” you asked, running a hand through your partners hair. “you don’t usually wear make up. so why’re you wearing it now?” he said, admiring eyeshadow you’d brought.
“for the holidays, itto..” you said with a deadpan expression. “what holiday?”
you stared at him for a second. “it’s Christmas, itto…” you sighed. noticing he didn’t understand at all, you explained that you saw something on a social media profile and wanted to try it with a nice design. watching his face fill with awe and curiosity.
“it looks amazing..” he hummed, poking one of the gems you placed on your cheek, to make a shine on the star. “so cute.” he grinned, sitting with you, eyes full of admiration. “can you do mine?” he asked.
you could tell by the gleam in his eye, he was serious. taking out your makeup brushes once more, you had him sit down and grabbed his chin firmly, yet gently. “hold still, you big idiot.”

Eyy can I ask for an Itto writing prompt? It's just any writing prompt that involves Itto (preferably one where it shows off more of his responsible side since people tend to gloss over that)
"Hahaha! Another win for the Great and Mighty Arataki Numero Uno Itto!" Itto exclaimed proudly, putting his hands on his hips as he laughs loudly, "Woah! Uncle Itto is so cool!" One kid expressed, as the others agreed stars sparkled brightly in their eyes akin to a glowing vision.
During the visit in Liyue with Shinobu for her graduation, Itto er... kinda got lost and ended up in Sumeru, luckily a forest ranger spotted him so now he's temporarily staying in Gandharva Ville, taking care of kids... kids he lost many bets to.
"Hey, hey! Let's go to that one place Tighnari forbids us to go to!"
"You mean the uhh, Whitening Zone?"
"No silly! It's the Withering Zone!"
"It's fine, Uncle Itto is here to protect us!"
"Uhh, mi amigos, I don't think going to a place called the 'Withering Zone' is a good idea" Itto said as he blocked the kids from going downstairs, "And if fox ears forbids us from going then ehh listen, why don't we just stay here?" Itto suggested.
"Huh? But didn't you say rules were made to be broken?" A kid asked, scratching his head, "Wait there, mi amigo, did I say that? Pfft nah I don't think I said that" Itto tried to deny, but the kids kept pestering about it, "Okay you know! Fine! Let's go to the Withering Zone but if someone chickens out we're all outta there! Got it?" The one commanded, as the kids lined up in the single file line.
The kids were leading their ultimate leader, Itto to the Withering Zone. The age suddenly went dry and everything felt dead every step they took, "Hey uh... buddies, mi amigos, let's head back, why don't Uncle Itto play Genius Invokation with you?" Itto suggested, as the kids stopped in their tracks, "What? But we're almost there Uncle Itto" a kid said as everyone agreed.
Suddenly, many spinocrocodiles awoke from their slumber and started charging at them, Itto knows what he has to do...
Pick up the children and run, how's he gonna fight so many enemies while protecting so many children at once?
*Pant* "HAAUGHH" Itto sighed as he laid on the soft grass, the kids were worried (probably traumatised but who cares lmao)
The kids suddenly started crying, "Uwah! We're sorry Uncle Itto!" They apologized as large teara rolled down their cheeks, "Ey, mi amigos don't cry. Fox ears might get mad at me" Itto cackled(?) As the kids started to climb on his stomach.
"Come on let's go back alright?"
Spoiler: Tighnari got mad.

Escape the Game
Notes:
Modern A.U; Gamer Itto; Genshin Character Reader
Tumblr media
"Come on! Come on!" yelled the silvered-haired male, he was yelling at his screen, watching as the golden star flew across his screen.
It was the day of his favorite character's banner, the new (vision type) five star, his "beloved". Y/n L/n, the new Inazumian five star. They've been first introduced in the game since 2.3 and Itto absolutely fell in love with her character, Itto awaited the day for they're banner to come out and finally, in 3.0 not only his "beloved" showed up in the main story quest but their banner came out along with Tighnari's.
Itto anxiously grasped his mouse tapping through the weapons that kept on appering on the screen.
"Please, just show me my five star!" As he said that very splash art he's been waiting to see since their banner came out an hour ago, "Y/n L/n" the name read.
"Yes! I got them!" The male cheered, he tapped through the last of his pull until the same splash art appered once again.
"Another one?! Haha it's my lucky day! It's a step closer to C6! " Itto cheered as he skipped through the entire pull. But showing the end results that second Y/n wasn't there.
"Huh?! Was I scamed?! Where's my second Y/n?! How am I supposed to C6 my beloved now?!" Itto whined before hearing a voice behind him.
"Hm? Your beloved? Now I don't remember giving anyone permission to use that pet name~". Itto gasped at the familar voice he turned around in his gaming chair to see his "beloved", every little detail, from the features of their face to the patterns of their outfit. He stared at them in shock, blushing at the fact that the very character he's so down bad for, the very character that he's willing to spend money to C6, the fact that they're standing right in front of him.
Looking at the screen seeing your character then looking back at the shocked and flustered male, " then again..." they continue grinning at the male
"the pet name of beloved... hm... It isn't so bad~"
