““Did you hear?”

“Yeah he moved out of the residents where the pyrokentics stay.”

“They’re all mostly dumb little kids anyways they should have kicked him out ages ago.”

“Shh don’t let management hear you. I heard they hired him on full time as an employee in the power development branch.”

“Are you serious? He’s still going to be here?”

“Worst of all...that greenhorn of a medical officer willingly took him in.”

“Took him in?”

“They’re living together.”

“Does that woman have a death wish? Does she know who she let into her own home?”

“It’s a shame, she would have made a great doctor. Oh well.”

You’d been subjected to it all. From the stares like you were stricken with leprosy. To the intrusive questions any sensible person wouldn’t dare to ask of a practical stranger. The opinions of others fell on your shoulders one by one like bricks as they tried to build a house around you to understand why exactly, out of all the people in the world, you agreed to let The Reaper live with you.

“Everyone shut up. I’ll do it. Kurono can live with me.”

Those words still rang true when you said them. No one clapped or patted your back at the board meeting when you were the only one to step up and offer a welcoming home to the freshly written off third gen. Who could really blame them? He was on thin ice as an asset with the damage he’d caused in multiple rooms during treatment. Just the money alone spent to contain his tephrosis could have funded something else or extended a lease on something in any of the multitude of fingers Haijima had in the Tokyo Empire’s daily life. For what should have been a begging, thankful man as an outcome. Only made a surly, hard to work with, intimidating bully of a man who no one wanted to shoulder the burden up. 

So in reality, you were the first one to place the very first brick on your shoulders. Bearing the weight of your decision you made all on your own. Even without a pay raise.

Like most hyped up things, they’d slowly become yesterday's news.

The questions, intrusive and rude, trickled down to a near stop after a while. A new arrangement becoming old news to everyone. Only employees in their first week on the job would yank you aside to ask in a hushed voice if you were ok after their first encounters with The Reaper. To which you’d laugh it off in the end. At first it would prickle your nerves and leave a sour taste in your mouth at the audacity from people who didn’t even know your first name yet alone anything about you or him. Now though you only chuckled in their face and let the concerned newbie know what you two had planned for dinner and that you’d let them know tomorrow if the meal sat well with you or not. No one thought it was as funny as you did. Still thought they insisted on asking so you never gave them the answer they were looking for.

Because it simply wasn’t there. Living with Kurono just; really wasn’t that different from living alone. For the better part of the adjustment period that was. You two went to the same place to work. He wasn’t a bad cook so you split kitchen duties down the middle. Clean and tidy in both personal and shared spaces so chores were never an issue. Already equipped with the tools to talk to him because of treatment as well as being the only coworker to tread those waters. Going from work to home wasn’t much of a change. The only thing different wasn’t the leery stares you got from overly concerned strangers who didn’t know the first thing about either of you two. Their fear was rooted in what you could only excuse as a natural instinct. Maybe yours had been dulled the longer you were around him. Leaving you perhaps vulnerable but to what you weren’t exactly sure. Kurono hardly expended more energy than an average house cat on a particularly busy day. That lull in complacency is probably why the first time he woke you up at night, you weren’t that startled to see his familiar set of orange eyes on you.

“...What- Yuichiro- What- What time is it?” You fished for your phone when absolutely no light was trickling in from your curtains. And were even more surprised to see it was barely past midnight. Asleep just long enough to be disoriented when there was a soft wrap of knuckles on the door. He’d succeeded in waking you up but when you rubbed your face squinting Kurono remained motionless in the doorway, “Is something wrong? Did I forget to turn something off?”

This was probably the moment all your coworkers tried to warn you about over the past few months. How most of them would be in hysterics if The Reaper had stood in their doorway with minimal backlighting to illuminate his figure in the doorway. At that very moment all you could do was think you left rice in the rice cooker or the stove on after meal prep.

“Can’t sleep.” Kurono finally voiced.

Not what you expected to hear and it dragged you from your tired haze more than if he’d said the stove was on fire.

“What?” You rubbed at your face unsure you heard him correctly. 

“Can’t sleep.” He repeated himself without a hint of inflection to his voice.

Finally sitting up in bed you looked around the dark room hardly able to the outlines of your own belongings. Yet you could see enough of him to make out that same complacent expression he always looked at you with. Rightfully tired you didn’t think much of what came out of your mouth next.

“...I guess, you can come lay down?” You offered as you padded the empty side of your bed. Normally untouched and had been since you bought it. 

Silent as he came over to the opposing side of your bed. You rolled the covers down and looked up at him only half aware of what was going on. Wanting nothing more than to get back to sleep as soon as possible. So the solution in the dead of night to let him sleep in your bed seemed like a no brainer. 

And as the weight of another person finally on the other side made your frame creak with a tiny groan. That was the first time you’d let him sleep in your bed. Your back to well, his side, you weren’t really sure as he hardly moved after getting in bed next to you. And you had no idea what position he slept in honestly. Awake before your alarm for the following morning went off. That was the first time he asked to sleep in your bed with you but by far wasn’t the last.

See because the very next night it was the same thing. Confusing you more than making you cranky since this time he’d made his way into your room before midnight at least. Leaving you sure he hadn’t even attempted to sleep in his own bed before telling you that he couldn’t sleep. Perhaps taking it as a kindness to not wake you up like the night before. Kurono’s odd ability to be intrusive in the least rude ways with you had you looking at him weird when he made that statement again. Though after the night before you really couldn’t complain as he hadn’t kept you up and you’d slept like a rock.

So again, rolling down the covers to the other side of your bed, you invited him in. Watched even as he settled down beside you. Legs tucked under the covers neither of you had pulled up yet. Very aware of the sleepwear you both would wear as more often than not neither of you were in a rush to get dressed on weekends. So when you smiled at him and let him know you were going to turn off the light. Kurono silently looked down at your lap until the click of the lamp. Followed by the shuffle of bodies in bed. One was yours and the other his. You were in a strange way glad he didn’t wake you up this time. So when the threat of sleep was on the verge of taking you over. You thought nothing of it when you felt a familiar hand lay itself against the small of your back. Just the faintest touch when he’d extend his fingers to loop them in the fabric of your shirt. Not infringing on the way you slept or anything. Just the subtle notice that told you he was right there with you. It was strangely comforting but before you knew it you woke up the next morning to him out of bed and the covers pulled up. Once again this wouldn’t be the last time he asked to sleep in bed with you.

The third night and you pulled the covers down to the other side of the bed without even thinking about it. In fact you’d stopped to look at it weirdly as you’d never done it before. But when you looked up from the side of the bed previously untouched, there he was standing in your doorway like the previous nights.

“Can’t sleep?” You asked with a bit of a smile when you came back around to your side of the bed.

Lips set in a stern line Kurono looked down, “...if you don’t mind.”

Getting into the well worn groove of your side of the bed just too look up at him you kept smiling, “I don’t mind at all.”

Because the fact of the matter was you didn’t. You also hadn’t given it much thought as someone looking in might have found this odd and inappropriate. But that seemed as rich of an opinion as those coworkers who swore you’d be dead by the end of the week if you let him move in with you. You weren’t dead. And honestly you liked the comfort of a body next to you. Even if it were just his knuckles brushing your back in the middle of the night. It felt nice to be close.

Something was different tonight though. The first night Kurono had woken you up. The second night you were already in bed. But this third time you’d seen each other getting into bed before the lights were even off. So now in the darkness it felt off in a way you couldn’t quit pin. And as you stared off at the wall where you always laid at the edge of your bed. You couldn’t quite fall asleep the same as you had previously. On a whim suddenly rolling over to face the middle of the bed.

Surprised to see him not on his back or facing the other way. Kurono had rolled onto his side before you even noticed it. Leaving the two of you facing nose to nose on separate pillows to stare at each other.

“...can’t sleep?” You asked in a hush whisper between the two of you.

His expression, though hard to see in the dark, looked a little pensive as he laid there with his hand tucked up under his cheek, “I can leave if you can’t sleep.”

The immediate threat of him leaving made you instinctively reach out. Grabbing onto the bit of corner pillow case he wasn’t lying on. It took you a second to realize what you’d just done as well as glancing at your hand so close to his face, “I...No, stay.”

Of course he complied by staying utterly still. Even after months of living here Kurono kept referring to it as your place. Your apartment only. Not yet once vocalizing that he saw it as his home as well. Even as he laid in bed only a few inches away from you in the under lit room. 

“...are you doing ok here?” You asked as too much time had passed and neither of you seemed close to falling asleep, “I mean...in the apartment. Here with me. Are you adjusting ok?”

While most of his answers always tended to be curt, to the point and blunt. There were moments like these that you could see him take his time to figure out the way he wished to word them. It was seconds like these you wished your coworkers saw more of. These times where he truly curated his answer based on how he felt and not just by the gut reaction of those around him.

“...It’s nice here.” Kurono muttered, “In your apartment. I like the extra space and no alarms going off randomly.”

Rubbing the cool fabric of his pillow case between your thumb and forefinger you looked at your action with such intensity you nearly zoned out for a moment, “This is your place too you know? It’s your home not just...not just another holding cell. I- I want you to like it here.”

His orange eyes shifted up to your face. The one thing you could always see in the dark. Where you should have been uneasy to look a snake in the eyes in such a dark room. They brought you comfort that couldn’t be explained even if you had all the words in the world to do so. No one would understand this. And those who heard your thoughts would call you crazy.

“I do like it here.” Kurono spoke frankly.

Such a broad term and you needed more reassurance you were doing the right thing, “In the apartment? In your room? What part do you like?”

“I like it here.” He said again, this time with the slightest gesture of his gaze that quickly tipped you off that he meant your room.

“Oh. Oh-” You laughed a little under your breath at the misunderstanding and stopped rubbing the pillow case so close to his cheek, “You can have this room, we can switch this weekend if you’d like.”

“It’s not the room.” Kurono cut in to clarify. He stirred a confused look from you and he could be heard sighing softly in the dark room even if you couldn’t really see anything, “I meant the bed. I like being here...with you.”

Then it dawned on you. From the very moment you met him. Though through an observation glass as thick as your fist. You two, hadn’t really spent a lot of time apart. Why else would you have offered to let him stay with you if not for the fact most of your day was spent together anyways? It seemed so natural that amidst the change in scenery and paperwork that went with it, you hadn’t thought about the fact he just came to live with you because he wanted to.

“Yuichiro?” You whispered across the small gap between the two of you.

He didn’t say anything but you felt and saw his gaze on you in the small space you had between each other.

 “...can I hold you?” You asked, hardly sure you said it loud enough to hear in the room. Yet at the same time it made your ears ring it felt like the loudest thing you’d ever said in your life.

Static silence. Certainly a wrong move that would result in your coworkers being correct about him. Over your dead body they’d say they told you so. As you held your breath concerned with what you’d just said. All of it was released when Kurono leaned forward in the cramped space of your bed. 

Forehead to your lips when he buried his face into the ratty old t-shirt you chose to wear every night. Quickly to not pass this up you engulfed him in your arms when you could. Arms tucked under his neck and draped over his shoulder to engulf all of him. You buried your nose into his mop of straight, thick black hair and moved your body all that much closer to the side of the bed you never laid on. The Reaper in your arms as his face felt a million times warmer than any blankets you could put on yourself. What happened after that was simply the quickest you’d ever fallen asleep. One second you were curling your arms to adjust his head into the crook of them. The next you woke up to bright lights threatening your blinds and the same mop of black hair still tucked into your chest as when you’d fallen asleep hours before.

So as the questions still came in like stragglers late to class. Asking if you were ok or if you were being compensated for living with the awful Reaper who still plagued Hiajima. You learned to laugh them off. Making everyone who only said they were concerned about your safety uncomfortable. Good. Because really they had no say in anything that you chose to do. And you liked it that way. Just like you liked the way Kurono came to ask if he could sleep in bed with you. Because in just three days you were sleeping better than you’d ever had in your entire life. 

Now you would wake up with an arm cinched tight around your side and his face buried in the back of your neck with his knees pressed to the back of yours. As close as he could possibly get nightly. Waking up like this every morning made you smile. And made you so happy that he’d asked to come sleep in your bed all those years ago.

anyways- canon yuichee love language is every couple of years when Haijima moves it’s testing facility, the following week Kurono comes and tells me which drinking fountains tasted the best/most normal and which ones to avoid because they taste “weird”. And in turn I then only drink out of those water fountains even though the taste of water never bothers me I drink gallons in a day anyways but he was so proud to tell me which ones tasted good even if they all taste the same to me.

[yuichi-ro]

Okay I have a question for you, mama -

What is Kurono's comfort food that is either made by you or he makes himself. Besides obviously curry lol and if it's soup, what kind of soup??

god the way I know Kurono has heated opinions about god damn soup, fucking virgo man istg

is it comfort food though if you have to make it yourself? Duh this man doesn't have to cook after we're together, it was part of our deal after all 🙄 fucking housewife to another teacher istg it's my destiny

It's not that his comfort food is anything spectacular but more of how its prepared. He loves overly sweet curry, like the way little kids eat it sweet. With the addition of having everything cut super tiny. We're talking so small they fit on a spoon (tiny pieces of carrots, potatoes, meat etc) And he loves it when I cook it just to the tipping point before the vegetables loose their shape. So they squish in his mouth when he presses them against the roof of his mouth but maintain their shape when dished up. Kurono really gets excited when I master the perfection of basically overcooked vegetables two seconds before they turn into a slushy mush slurry. (Plus makes getting the kids to eat things much easier when its not all mushed together and they can at least tell its a carrot or a pea or whatever 🙄)

This man can in fact live on soup and it's disgusting. Same thing applies to soup though with tiny pieces of everything. He wants a little bit of everything on his spoon but doesn't like big soup spoons. Kurono uses a teaspoon so it doesn't clank against his teeth when he eats 😐Nothings wrong with his teeth he's just this way istg. But he's not partial to any specific soup. Broths, milk based, chowders, cheesey, meaty or all vegetables he basically consumes soup like its life giving blood (so you know he's real sick when he's not even interested in soup)

But in terms of his weird specific comfort food only I make, it has to be.....overcooked shrimp flavored ramen. (Soy sauce is second best)

There's a specific way I make it too (these are like the 99 cent kind) It takes three packages of ramen. Two flavor packs go into the water that boils the three bricks of noodles. They cook far too long for my liking. All the water gets drained and the third final spice packet gets sprinkled on the overcooked noodles. So it's now overly thick and starchy and shrimpy. This is this man's comfort food for the 10+ years we're together

#why is this so specific??? #and why can i vividly imagine it so well?? #it must be produced the correct way #you dont understand i takes like three yrs before he lets me even make him ramen #its not even good ramen is college student cheap ramen #as for the other food basically if i cut things small enough kurono will eat anything #makes introducing food to Nobu real easy since his father already eats like that 😂 #sometimes Nataku is my real son we put chips on sandwiches and other weird crap just for texture #kurono thinks we're weird and side eyes us for it 🙄 #sometimes we need crunch! #wifey.♡ #three.selfships #yuichee.♡

[yuichi-ro]

I just know the when Kurono's and I's kid see pictures of our wedding this happens

#ugly sobbing over our son seeing his brother in a cute little tux at the wedding #then inconsolable that we didn't have him at our wedding #kid wasn't even conceived yet but he's crying over not being invited 😂😭 #nataku being too in the moment and crying that we didn't invite his brother either 😂 #forgetting he wasn't born until like two yrs later they're both too emotional 😂 #i tell kurono to deal with this he's the teacher for a reason 😐 #dont get paid enough for the kids bullshit #their father can deal with it #three.selfships #yuichee.♡

[yuichi-ro]

Anyways, Kurono has a picture of me with both the kids and his coworkers 100% think it's just the photo that came with the frame.

#source: my wife 😂 #they've met me....they've seen me drop off the kids and kurono at the school building and kiss him #they've been introduced to me at PTA meetings 😂 #still viably just assume kurono has a picture frame from Walmart that he never took the fake picture out of #his coworkers thru me a baby shower and STILL everyone assumes its a fake family in the frame 😂 #this is the karma he deserves lets be honest #yuichee.♡ #three.selfships

[yuichi-ro]

Quick! What are you and Kurono doing while being just a tad tipsy when you guys decide to drink?? And what is Kurono's choice drink?

where's the reverse uno card?? you can't ask the same question if you don't include the uno card?? smh

#ʏᴜɪᴄʜᴇᴇ.♡ + drinking

default I have to say Kurono just...really doesn’t drink. Not even sure if he can finish one glass of wine kind of guy (he’s not allowed to order drinks at restaurants it’s a waste of money)

if we are drinking and explicitly Kurono intends to drink I think he does some kind of white wine (no sparkling though he hates carbonation) or he needs one of those freezer mixers that are basically an alcholic smoothie. To which he never finishes. The closest this man has ever gotten to finishing a drink is about two thirds of the way. 

lightweight man is in my lap getting his hair played with. He’s awake for a good portion of if but ends up slack jawed, cheek smashed into my belly with his arm around me in a death grip kind of lay on me. There’s no sexy time when this man drinks bc he falls asleep. But god damn he’s awfully cute when he sleeps so I let it slide

#like this man cannot drink to save his life i cannot convey that enough #he is not a drinker like #coffee and water are the only liquids that pass this mans mouth #if he's real daring he likes smoothies and blended coffee drinks #but alcohol? very rare occasion he'd much rather just mix my drinks for me and let me drink #which i dont drink often so like there's virtually no booze in our house #confuses the shit outta the kids when we drink in fact like they just forget adults sometimes drink XD #he's smashed faced into my belly drooling on me though #his hair being played with is this mans kryptonite #if i wanted to keep him awake i should know better than to touch his hair buuuuuut hes so cute soooo #wifey.♡ #yuichee.♡ #three.selfships

Kurono x fem!Reader

cw: pure yuichee.♡ bullshit, fem!Reader, manga spoilers, my own headcanon about Kurono loosing his arm, sfw, unedited word count: 1.7k ─I’ve been meaning to write this exact scenario but today I finally need it’s comfort

The sky was so blue. 

Bluer than you ever recalled it being before the world ended. What perhaps sold it’s vibrancy was the odd feathered creature soaring above it all. When it flapped it’s wings you instinctively blinked. Shielding your eyes even. Almost out of habit. One you’d certainly never had prior. 

Eyes dilating from tiny pinholes and sight returning to normal from the shade of you hand. Just the way the bird above you stirred the air under it’s wings. You were sent right back into the suddenness of what had happened.

Their names left your lips fast than the bird above you could flap away, “Kurono!? Kurono, Nataku?!” 

No idea what happened between the world ending. And now your two feet planted so squarely on the ground within the Tokyo Empire. That didn’t matter. This could be a fevered dream seconds away from your brain shutting off for good. If it was you didn’t care. Not once your eyes fell onto the familiar faces a few yards away.

“Ms. y/n!” Nataku’s brilliant orange hair as vibrant as you recalled it. His eyes lighting up even more when they landed on you. The youth was scrambling in your direction. Tears in both your eyes when you met him half way. Collapsing into him just as you wrapped him up in your arms. 

“Nataku you’re ok!” Words utterly saturated in sniffles. Tears streaming down your cheeks much to your dismay. Clinging with a titian grip onto Nataku with your nose being buried in the top of his head.

What choking sobs robbed you of your words. You cradled his head to your chest. Uncaring if you crushed the boy in the meanwhile. So happy to see him in one piece. The only thing that could top that was the man standing above the two of your collapsed forms on the ground.

“Y-Yuichiro-” His name not even able to make it past your lips without being interrupted by tears. Fat globs of them running down your cheeks when you looked up at the familiar angular face. If that wasn’t enough, you hardly had a care in the world when your nose began to drip.

Throwing yourself onto him. Arms clasping around him as your legs barely worked. Lurked forward just enough to allow Kurono to catch you as you brought him to the ground with you. Death grip on his frame when the sobs came uncontrollably now. 

Shoulders shuddering in his embrace. You’d never even cried in front of him like this. In front of no one. And yet, you couldn’t stop yourself.

“...y-you’re ok.” Lips quivering in an undeniable dip when you looked at him. Searching his face knowing the man before you was him and not an imposter or a doppelgänger or anything. Just Kurono in your grasp and that made your tears well up even more, “I don’t want to do that again.”

“You’re telling me.” Kurono looked down at you squishing him, “I don’t get paid enough to die.”

“No you idiot.” You shook your head bringing up a hand to cup his pale cheek, “I mean ever be without you. I don’t care if my life is flashing before my eyes I don’t-”

“What the-” He stopped your words. An odd shift happening in the air. Even looking back you saw Nataku looking at the hand under his protective sleeve. Kurono reached for his bandage arm, “What is this?”

“Your arm-” You dropped the touch against his cheek to the arm in question. Even with your grip on his wrist and Kurono’s scowl the arm in question wasn’t moving, “Kurono your fingers-”

“I can’t move them.” He shifted some of his shoulder but his tephrosis arm remained utterly motionless, “My arm its-

Your own fingers gently cupping his hand. No one understood or knew what to do as the carbonized arm slowly chipped away. Not to reveal anything under it either. In fact it was flaking away like a used piece of fire wood. The more you tried to handle his arm the more it turned to ask before your very eyes. Leaving absolutely nothing in it’s wake but the ashes filtering off your guy’s lap in the gentle breeze.

“I can’t use my powers- And Mr. Kurono’s arm-” Nataku trembled in his shoes next to you unsure of what was happening only moments after being brought back to the world. 

As you panicked about what was happening. The most peculiar thing bubbled up in front of both pyrokenetic uses. An orb. Like nothing you’d seen before. Twisting twirl of a tail from it’s fat little sphere of a body. The light cast off it’s flicking surface was warm. Like that of a little fire.

“I think-” You couldn’t believe you were saying this at all, “I think that’s your pyrokentic abilities.”

They floated up towards the sky. Leading the three of you to follow their little trails upwards. Finding that those two were one of many. Odd fluttering little souls all funneling together in the same area. And as you all looked in the general direction of where they were going. One thing was clearly understandable. 

“They’re gone.” Kurono couldn’t help but stare at where his arm was just moments before and the odd phantom feeling that resonated within the empty sleeve, “We’re all weak now.”

Above you the powers or spirits or whatever one was going to call them. Bumped and fluttered across the blue sky. Such a vibrant contrast only making you squint harder so it didn’t hurt your eyes. In front of you Kurono. To your side Nataku staring up with you. All three of you together.

All over again the tears began. But the twitching frown on your lips didn’t join in. Just the thick streams of tears rolling down your cheeks as you reached out to grab Kurono’s only hand. Squeezing it  as the tears trickled down your jawline and down your neck. 

“Well,” Kurono broke the silence without an ounce of emotion reflecting in his tone, “If that’s the case then we might as well get married sooner than later. I’ll be switching careers anyways, Haijima owes me for this though.”

Stunning your tears into stopping. You dropped your gaze to the man in front of you. Blinking the glassy film over your eyes and seeing the very serious expression on the man before you. His words hitting you far too many seconds after he said them.

“You waited until the end of the world to say that?” You managed with a smile contrasting the tears dribbling down your face, “I don’t know how well Oguru’s going to take that.”

Kurono shook his head and reached out with his only hand to wipe his thumb over your tear slick cheek, “Already got it approved, told him I’m quitting the day after the world ended. Besides, it’s not my job anymore the worlds saved.”

Bubbling up in your chest the laughter started subtle. Only to cascade into a gaggle of giggles as you cupped the back of his hand. Making him press his palm flush against your tear stained cheek. Laughing like a fool all while Kurono’s lips turned up into the softest smile anyone could have missed if they weren’t paying attention close enough, “I’ll marry you on one condition.” Kurono’s eyes lightened ever so slightly at this and you smiled, “I get to change careers too.”

“I’m selfish,” Kurono leaned in, utterly exhausted at this point, resting his forehead against yours as his eyes closed, “All I want is to come home to you. Every day.”

Heart clenching you reached up to drape your arms over his shoulders. Nuzzling your forehead against his and feeling his bangs rub against your skin, “That sounds like a promotion to me.”

“So we have a deal?”

Letting your fingertips trace down his neck you dipped down a little to break your forehead away from his. Just to push your lips up against his in return in the same moment. Kissing the reaper like you’d done a million times before. But for the very first time in this reborn life. 

“That is very much the perfect deal.” You mumbled against his lips. Feeling Kurono smile against them before pressing back into you. His own arms curling around your torso and holding you close until the kiss was interrupted with the scuffling shoe of the boy next to you.

 Nataku looking down. And albeit lost for the moment. Raised his head to meet both of you staring at him. He had no idea what to say but the tears threatening his lashes said it all.

Reaching out and snagging him. Bringing him into your lap and engulfing him in the biggest bear hug possible. You snuggled the sniffling boy close to your heart and let out a little bit of a laugh, “Don’t think you’re going anywhere mister. Who’s going to protect you?”

“But- Shouldn’t I go back?” Nataku frowned as he looked at Kurono then to you, “Back...to my parents.”

“Do you want to?” Kurono deadpan asked.

Staring back down at his lap Nataku felt the constricting guilt of his answer until he finally said it, “I- I want to stay with you two! I don’t want to go back to people who treat me like that. I just can’t I-”

“Then it’s settled.” You ruffled Nataku’s hair and making his anxious rambling stop, “I’ll find a way to keep us together.”

“Y-You mean it?” Nataku’s tears were retreating as he stared up at you.

Kurono rested his hand a top yours on the boy’s mess of orange hair, “What did I say? I’d be the only one picking on you from now on.”

For all it meant Nataku’s bottom lip quivered only a bit before he through his arms around Kurono’s torso. Burying his face in the man’s button down and thanking him profusely. It made your heart leap. And if this was in fact your life flashing before your eyes. It didn’t matter. It could end now or in another sixty years. If you spent it with these two then there was no better time spent.

With a hand on Nataku’s back you leaned in and hugged them both. Squishing the crying kid between the two of you. All while you tilted your head up and found Kurono looking at you. Smiling spreading on your lips. You couldn’t keep yourself from kissing him again. After all, this was a brand new start and you two had so many kisses to catch up on.

Unsolicited comments/questions about being "teen parents" when people see Nataku, whose going into middle school when Kurono and I are only thirty, result in Kurono promptly disproving their claim with "No, the straight jacket was in the way so we couldn't." And then I quickly try to do damage control explaining how Nataku's adopted because Kurono says this at a parent teacher conference in front of strangers 😐

#really when i explain any of it peoples faces are just more horrified 😂😭 #shoulda just left it at teen parents but heaven forbid my husband act fucking normal for once 😩 #powerless kurono just grows more sarcastic with each passing day pray for me #yuichee.♡ #three.selfships

─» adjusting to life without pyrokinetic abilities is easier said than done but Kurono and Nataku do fairly well, both of them actually seem happier to not have such a burden on their minds all the time ─» Kurono is rightfully weak like all the people he loves so much and after Reka leaves the city Nataku does an almost one eighty with his mental health, finally getting to be an actual kid for once ─» Hajima testing facilities are no longer needed or even a thing without any pyrokinetic abilities ─» and as they see it Nataku's parents don't want him back after getting to be apart of the "child free" scene again once the world is brought back a new ─» he stays with Kurono and I because it's the only other place he still feels safe and amidst the chaos of the cataclysm no ones really ready to take in an orphan except for the people closest to them so that's of course what we do ─» Kurono won't also admit he enjoys watching out for Nataku still and there's something about the plain boringness of such a nuclear set up that he down right loves ─» not even a month goes by after everything has happened that Kurono purposes ─» no ring, no real idea of what a proposal should consist of or anything but a suggestion he makes with his whole heart that we made it this far and he didn't particularly like the nothingness of Adolla without me so he'd liked to get married ─» that is if I want to, jackass ─» the wedding is an event in itself I swear ─» we're not even married for four months before we end up pregnant and in that time we formally adopt Nataku as well making it two children in less than a year ─» Kurono swears he'll have grey hair by the time he's thirty and I tell him to shut up he wanted all this ─» no ones living off the wealth of the new world without a job and Kurono doesn't want me to work pretty much the second we find out I'm pregnant so without a doubt he ends up still working with kids ─» at least now he's a teacher! And they surprisingly all like him! Weird ─» he works at the school Nataku ends up attending and it works out weirdly well ─» Kurono is oddly good at being an elementary school teacher but I attribute it to the fact Nataku rats him out as his dad so no one takes him all that serious when he's "being scary" ─» that being said Kurono loves it more than he ever thought he could but pretends to be cranky about it even though he has all the kid's name memorized the first month and they high five Mr. Kurono every time they leave for the day ─» speaking of Mr. Kurono, Sho and Nataku instantly click and Sho ends up at our home a lot on weekends and after school ─» Shinra lowkey hates his brother befriending the Kurono/Nataku duo but I'm always home so it dampens the blow a little bit because he assumes I'm the sane one out of the two of us ─» I'm not ─» there's excitement for the baby when I'll come to drop things off for Nataku or for Kurono and all the kids in class are trying to guess what the baby is ─» all the kids think it's a girl but Kurono corrects them and tells them it's a boy.

go see what Nataku and Nobu are doing but alas I follow and tease him anyways ─» every morning I get up with them, make sure Nataku has his lunch and school work, straighten Kurono's tie and make sure his lunch is as soft as he likes it and they ride the bus together to school to start their day ─» sometimes I do visit them and have lunch with them on breaks, the kids in the class figure this out real fast and just like the kids at the Haijima facility, these ones also like to tease Kurono about being married ─» he cannot escape the teasing and they all gag and make loud noises too when he gets a kiss before going back to work ─» Nataku does really well in high school, even volunteering in the programs his younger brother does in elementary school ─» Kurono gets another one of his kids in his class but unlike Nataku, Nobu gives him a run for his money with following orders ─» it's his karmic debt for the jackass-ery he did when we were younger ─» he does get offers from Shinra later on to aid in what they're up to with the Soul World ─» but he turns them down regularly saying that's too much hard work for him to do ─» saving the world once was enough to make him tired for the rest of his life as far as he's concerned ─» we do still keep in contact with Oguru though who of course helps whatever big business he's climbed the ladder of this time ─» in a world of new creatures and new possiblities we do really choose to have the most boring life in the world ─» but it's perfect and we're in control of it, and for the first time in his life Kurono feels like he's strong enough to decide to do what he wants to do. And for once it isn't running away, all he wants to do is stay with me and the kids as long as he possibly can ─» so that's exactly what we do until we're nothing but an old couple recounting stories to our grandkids about the second cataclysm like it's a fariytale and not something we both lived through

I just know at some point in our pre dating phase Kurono comments some bullshit like "I'm surprised someone so squishy is strong." And while I'm berating him for making a fat joke he straight faced says "I love soft things though." And goes about the rest of his day totally dear pan and normal like he didn't just admit to liking me.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and I’m curious what selfship Valentine’s Day headcanons do you have of you and your fictional spouses? Like for me, I have a hc that Yuuta and I get dorky matching pajamas/onesies and start Valentine’s Day off with cooking an ungodly amount of pancake variations together.

you're asking about my self ships 🥺 I hadn't even honestly thought of Valentine's Day yet with them! asdfghjkl ok ok ok lets see...

Hanma & Baji are both "I forgot about Valentine's day" and "I had it planned in January" Hanma's the planner, Baji's the forgeter. My gift from them is 100% handsfree parenting for the day. Don't gotta lift a finger. Hanma likes to be wowed and courted so an engraved lighter, his favorite food or even flowers (Baji likes to give flowers). Baji it's more about the event of the day and wants to go do something that almost has nothing to do with Valentine's day like hiking or picnic at a cemetery

Kazutora gets himself worked up and nervous for Valentines day. If it's our first or our tenth he still worries he's not doing enough. Pre kids he's got an entire day laid out with breakfast, lunch and dinner all Valentines theme. After kids he's getting me and our kid matching Valentines day things, stuffed animals for the kiddo, yummy food, and utterly spoiling both of us. He's so sweet about it, its almost sickening

Francis goes all fucking out. We're talking Valentines day in a city we flew too bc he let me throw a dart at a map. Perfumes, bushels of roses, handmade chocolates. And this is yearly. Even when money is grossly flowing he still made years like that super special with hand written love letters, chocolates he probably blackmailed someone for and flowers he may or may not have stolen from someone's yard but talked the owner out of calling the police with his charm

Lastly, Kurono is not a Valentines day person. He doesn't think much about getting gifts or giving them but he does get persuaded by the display at Walmart to buy a thing of roses. But after he buys the roses he remembers that I love and use rose water so ends up getting that. And there were rose shaped chocolates so he got that too. I wake up to just a bunch of rose like things and him giving them to me like he's giving me a report card or something. Of course I always have something special for him that he gets a little smile on the corners of his lips to have gotten. The rest of the day he's particularly clingy and we do almost everything together. One of the few days a year I allow him to shower with me and talk me into soaking in a bath

#yuuta and making pancakes is so cute!! #i can just see him screwing up the heart and claiming he'll eat the rejects and only you get the good ones #so by the time hes made a good stack of actual heart pancakes #the reject pile is HUGE but he swears he promised to eat them and ends up with a belly ache from all the pancakes XD #it would be a very yuuta thing to do its a good thing hes that cute #thank you for asking I loved thinking about these <3 #im terrible at valetines day so rip to my husbands lets be honest #three.selfships #haajee.♡ #yuichee.♡ #fitzee.♡ #thora.♡
