Haganezuka blind date official story

Here is one of the official side stories of demon slayer about the sword smith village chef trying to wed Haganezuka in his 37 birthday hoping that having a wife will make Haganezuka easier to deal with

Cr to the author and transilator

This is vol 3 ch 2 :

(T/N: In modern times, we would have called it a blind date but I’m just gonna stick to matchmaking which is more time appropriate)

Haganezuka Hotaru was a superb sword smith.

Not only did he have the polished techniques that were passed down through the generations of the Haganezuka clan, he loved swords more than anyone else.

But there was a huge problem with his personality.

When he was only two years old, because of his difficult personality, he whittled down his parents’ mental spirit. Afterwards, he even grabbed a cleaver and chased after this youth from the Demon Slayer corps who had a custom sword made by him, yelling “I’ll kill you!!”, “You deserve a thousand deaths!!” and so on. He even choked another youth who had the same job as him and beat up a youth who was a Pillar and various other violent actions. It was already well known among others that he was a self-centered individual……

“Hotaru really gives people a headache.”

While seated in the living area and eating mitarashi dango, Tecchikawahara Tecchi let out a huge sigh.

Just to mention, the mitarashi dango was a gift to Haganezuka by the Demon Slayer Kamado Tanjirou. As Tanjirou had trampled on the result of painstaking effort that came from Haganezuka polishing a blade without rest, Haganezuka, in a fit of rage, demanded that Tanjirou “give him mitarashi dango till the day he dies”.

Tanjirou was really amazing* and he really followed the instructions obediently.

(T/N: Amazing – not in a good way. As in doing something to make people bewildered and so on)

Speaking of this thirty seven year old man with the maturity of a fifteen year old….

As the foster father who gave Haganezuka his name, Tecchin slumped his shoulders in low spirits.

“Did I go wrong in the way I raised him?”

“No no no. He’s already a man who’s close the forty. Right now it has nothing to do with how he had been raised.”

Kanamori brewed tea and said calmly.

“Right? Kotetsu boy?”

When his name got called, Kotetsu looked up from his mitarashi dango.

“Yeah. With a personality that’s antisocial and being a hot-headed loner, it’s all Haganezuka’s own fault. You don’t have to care.”

“Even so, I feel that I should take responsibility for it~”

Tecchin shrugged his shoulders lightly like a child.

“I really wish he could become more amicable. Isn’t there some good method for it?”

“Nope.”

Kotetsu answered harshly.

“Rather than changing that person, it’s definitely easier to teach a bear to shake.”

“……Well.” On the other hand, Kanamori who was older, and had more experience in life tilted his head. Then—

“How about setting him up for a matchmaking session?”

Kanamori said leisurely.

The plan “It’s about time to get Haganezuka married and create a family and become a changed man” raised by Kanamori progressed smoothly, which was unexpected, under Tecchin’s passionate fanning of the flames.

They had worried that Haganezuka would throw a tantrum……However, even though the person himself appeared to be reticent, he did not put up much protest and agreed to the suggestion. Therefore, the date of Haganezuka Hotaru’s matchmaking was set to be on the closest auspicious day.

And today was that auspicious day.

Kanamori, who made the suggestion, and Kotetsu were both staking out at the courtyard of the Ryotei* where the matchmaking was to take place. The goal was, of course, to spy on the situation.

(T/N: A luxurious traditional Japanese restaurant)

As the village did not allow outsiders, the location of the matchmaking was chosen to be in a town that was far enough from the village, in a time established Ryotei that was famous for its beautiful courtyard. The one was made the reservation was Kanamori so there was no need to sneak themselves in.

In the middle of a hall that was the size of more than twenty tatami mats, a man and a woman sat facing each other. Even if it was not said, this pair was Haganezuka and the girl he was set to meet. Tecchin, who was short, sat between them like he was a piece of décor.

The young lady who was all dressed up was cuter than they had expected, with a petite slender frame that contrasted well with the gorgeous peony pattern of her clothes.

“The other party is really cute. How infuriating.”

“Ah, this completely reflects of village head’s preferences. Her face is exactly like Kanroji-sama’s.”

They heard that Tecchin chose the matchmaking partner seriously. Even though the village head usually had a calm and steady composure, there were occasions when he would emit a terrifying aura of intimidation. But when it came to women, he was just like any other lay person.

“Such a cute person was actually willing to come for matchmaking.”

“If we just go based on looks, Haganezuka-san is handsome. In this case, just the photo alone would be able to pass.”

“So in the end, it’s about appearances.”

“No, Kotetsu-boy. The important factor is love, love.”

Kanamori, who fell in love at first sight with his wife and tied the knot with her, was the number one in the village for doting on his wife and it felt like he would go on a long spew about his feelings for his beloved wife anytime.

At the same time, the matchmaking session continued in the hall.

“May I know what your interest is, Haganezuka-san?”

“……smithing swords.” (bo: this originally and everything Haganezuka says is in small letters indicating Haganezuka's low voice full with shyness through the whole conversation 😂)

Clack. The sozu* that was fixed in the courtyard made a clear sound.

(T/N: Bamboo water fountain that can be found in gardens. When one end fills with water, it will tip over and strike a stone, making a noise. Originally for scaring away animals.)

“Your first name is Hotaru? That’s an excellent name.”

“………thank you.”

“Isnt it? I’m the one who gave him that name. However this child keeps complaining that the name is too cute…”

“Fufufu, he must be embarrassed.”

The sozu made a knocking sound again.

“My interest is in cooking. If you don’t mind, may I find out what kind of dishes you like?”

“…….Mitarashi dango.”

The sozu made another clear noise.

“What do you like to do when you’re not working?”

“….Eat mitarashi dango.”

“Dear me, you really do love mitarashi dango.”

“….I wish I can eat that every day.”

“Haganezuka-san is really adorable.”

The loud clapping sound from the sozu seemed to finalise the conversation.

“Oh? It went pretty well? Also, isn’t the sozu too noisy?!”

“True, it did go better than expected.”

“Right? The atmosphere is quite good but that guy didn’t say much at all and his voice is so soft!!”

“He’s probably nervous, right? A big man like him is acting so coy……how gross.”

“Well, he has been living only for the sake of swords after all. He’s unexpectedly innocent. At least, for now, Haganezuka-san has not done anything strange and the lady seems to have good feelings for him. Maybe, just maybe, there’s a chance.”

As though he was the one participating in this matchmaking session, Kanamori was terribly excited.

“Alright, why don’t you two young people take a stroll in the garden?”

The village head used an old-fashioned method to temporarily wrap things up and the location for the match making moved to the courtyard.

A hunky man wearing a Hyottoko mask and a youthful beautiful lady were walking together in the courtyard. This scene was definitely difficult to describe.

“Haganezuka-san, you don’t really like to talk much, do you?”

“…….uh-huh.”

“I like men who are silent. It feels like they’re gentle and intelligent.”

“………………Is that so?”

“The next time, I’ll make Mitarashi dango and bring them to you.

“Thanks.”

Haganezuka still barely uttered a few words and his volume was strangely tiny, also, the contents of the conversation seemed to keep spinning around mitarashi dango. However, the atmosphere between the two could not be considered bad.

“This is a miracle, Kotetsu-boy.”

Kanamori lowered his voice even more to prevent themselves from blowing their cover, and at the same time, he made an action like he was wiping away tears.

“Haganezuka-san’s spring has finally arrived.”

“Ah, that girl actually proactively held his hand!! Oh, that Haganezuka-san is still squirming around, he’s just like an octopus!”

“Yeah, he’s shy, I suppose?”

“You call that shy?! That’s disgusting!”

“It is indeed disgusting but right now, we should be praying that this miracle can hold on until the end.”

Kanamori made the pose of a senior and spoke to Kotetsu in an even mannered tone.

Haganezuka and his potential partner got close to the tree the two were hiding behind. Kotetsu and Kanamori immediately held their breaths and shrank their bodies until they could not become any smaller.

The two stopped in their steps.

Then….

“—Haganezuka-san.”

The lady spoke in dead earnest.

“I have a request.”

Her tone was extremely serious as though she had made some kind of decision.

“ ………Ye, yes?”

Haganezuka was so nervous his shoulders stiffened up.

Was this finally the moment? The two sneaking a peek from their cover behind the tree both swallowed their saliva.

“After the chat we had just now, I have fully understood how high of a regard you hold for your sword smithing job, Haganezuka-san.”

“Is, is that so?”

Haganezuka’s voice suddenly became brighter. “However—” the lady continued to speak:

“Swords are already a thing of the past.”

The lady showed a pleasing smile.

“No one uses swords in this era already. So, why not make chef knives from now on, or even tools? I don’t wish for my dear husband to make barbaric objects such as swords.”

The lady said so in a straightforward manner and Haganezuka froze on the spot.

The two who were eavesdropping were also stunned….and the blood quickly drained from their faces.

“Crap!! This is bad!! She can’t say such a thing in front of Haganezuka-san!”

To that man – Haganezuka Hotaru – who loved swords more than anyone else, this was the most forbidden of forbidden statements.

In the worst-case scenario, he might even kill someone with his own hands.

Then the swordsmith village would be finished.

“Kotetsu-boy, if things go south, please take that woman and run. I will tickle Haganezuka-san’s armpits and use my utmost efforts to open a path for the two of you.”

“I understand. Kanamori-san, please do not die.”

Kotetsu and Kanamori became nervous.

Yet, after a long while, Haganezuka did not make any sound.

“Umm……Haganezuka-san?” Seeing that Haganezuka had quietly lowered his head, the woman opened her mouth to ask.

Then—

“….is someone.”

Haganezuka said in a whisper:

“There is someone using what you call barbaric swords, putting his life on the line to battle for the sake of people he does not even know.”

“………Eh?”

“Even if he was riddled with injuries, he continued to charge forward. No matter what kind of predicament he was facing, he still continued to fight without yielding. I am lucky I can make a sword that protects lives for that person. I am proud to be a blacksmith.”

“………………”

“Excuse me, please pretend this never happened.”

The woman could not speak.

A cold wind blew past between the two.

Haganezuka was very calm.

Even though the woman looked down on the swords he loved greatly, he did not scold her on impulse.

He only quietly rejected her.

The reason definitely involved his pride as a swordsmith as well as his bond with a certain Demon Slayer.

–Haganezuka’s matchmaking session quietly came to an end.

“Sigh, this is considered fate as well. Just try again next time.”

The village head was still optimistic.

“Let me see. Which girl should I choose this time~?”

He happily chose another matchmaking potential from a stack of photos.

“……forget it….I have my swords anyway….”

On the contrary, it had already been a few days since the end of the matching making session, but Haganezuka still lay on the tatami mats in a slovenly manner.

“You have a huge build, stop blocking the way. It’s annoying.”

Kotetsu retorted with his usual tone and then placed a plate full of Mitarashi Dango onto the table lightly.

“Here, Tanjirou-san sent Mitarashi Dango over again. Eat these and get your spirits back.”

“Yeah, Haganezuka. Isn’t it great that you can make swords for such a kind and caring Slayer? For a swordsmith, that is the greatest fortune.”

“Hmph, of course it’s something he should do….that guy did trample on my hard work.”

“Alright, stop making a fuss. Let me pour you some tea.”

Once he finished speaking, Kanamori poured tea into Haganezuka’s teacup.

“Wow, the tea stem is standing straight up. Haganezuka, this is a good omen.” Kanamori said happily. There really was a complete tea stem standing upright in the teacup.

“You definitely will be successful during the next matchmaking session.”

However, not long after the joyful moment, Haganezuka became angry for some peculiar reason.

“When the tea stem stands straight up, one has to secretly finish the entire cup! You have ruined it! How are you going to pay me back?!”

“Eh?!”

“If things don’t go well during the next matchmaking session I go for, it’s all your fault!! Take responsibility!”

That was far too unreasonable, wasn’t it? Kanamori could not help but be bewildered by the situation.

“….How did you raise such a rotten personality?”

Kanamori blamed the village head.

“Didn’t you say that he was almost forty so it has nothing to do with the way he was raised already?”

“I did say that but he’s ridiculous. If I had put it bluntly, he’s human scum!”

“It has nothing to do with me~”

Tecchin abandoned his responsibilities as the foster parent and turned away his face that was covered with a Hyokotto mask as though he was not part of the issue.

Kotetsu helplessly sighed under his mask.

(However….it’s not as though Haganezuka-san did not make any progress.)

Seeing how Haganezuka lectured the beautiful lady who looked down on swords, it made him delighted. It was too cool.

Those words were full of responsibility and honour as a swordsmith. As someone who was from this hidden village, from the same profession, Kotetsu could not help but feel deeply moved.

Getting to know that youth who believed in the sword he made and who entrusted his own life to him, could actually let this isolated man undergo such a huge change.

–Because of that.

(….Gods, when there is a day that Haganezuka-san can turn over a new leaf and rid himself of that rotten to the core personality of his, please bestow him with a gentle wife who can understand his love for swords.)

Even though that could be something that only happened many years later, Kotetsu still prayed within his heart that Haganezuka Hotaru can find his own spring–

(bo : manga readers know that he did 🙂)

Chapter 2

Hanma x older sister reader x Black dragon founders

Warning: mentions of abuse, fights

Shuji watched his father raise his hands ,not only did (Y/n) get into a fight at her school. She talked back to him, she didn't even flinch or let a sound escape from her mouth. Shuji hated that she always seemed to sacrifice herself, making sure to get into trouble if he caused trouble. So their father attention was directed towards her. Could he even be called a father? He was a cruel man, who only seemed to drink and smoke.

She nudged Shuji grinning at him, holding the cloth to her nose. "Sheesh your such a cry baby Shu" she teased, pulling him to her side. "I told you I'm okay" she comforted ruffling his hair. "I'm gonna grow big and strong! I'm gonna protect you and care for you" he vowed staring up at her teary eyed

She chuckled brushing his hair from his eyes "grow strong for me okay?" Watching him curl up against her side, she always stayed up until he fell asleep, she pulled him closer slowly dozing off.

Shuji had a dream, he wanted to be a king one day. He would make sure that their father would be sent away, give (yn) the live she deserve. He wanted her to be appreciated and cared for.

He promised that one day he will give her the life she deserves

Are you sure this girl is real?"

"Hey!"

" You said she's in your grade?"

Shinichiro nodded looking at Takeomi "yeah!well she knew the guy who's wrist she sprained"

"The only girl who knows to fight is beast "

"You know her Kezio?"

He shrugged "she took down one of my men… "

Kezio remembers hearing how the girl had beaten up one of his men. Even when he showed up,she didn't back down, telling him to learn and control his men.

According to her the guy had been bothering her and her friends, till she had enough and punched the male. She definitely left an impression on him.

"She skips school …"

Shinichiro deflated at that, lowering his head along with his shoulders"

"Oi ! You're in the way Danny Zuko" a familiar voice commented, the male spun around.

"Your her- hey what happened?" He asked moving to lift her face, she took a step back. Giving the him a blank stare "I got jumped on my way home, you should see the other guy"

She brushed the group making her way towards her class room, ignoring the protests and footsteps of Shinichiro. "W-Wait!" He jogged up to her, catching up to her with ease.

"You sure your okay?"

"..."

She continued ignoring him, while the group behind them watched in silence as their leader tried talking to Hanma (Y/n).

"Can I at least check your injuries then?" He asked, looking at her with a pout. She sighed, glancing at him, "I can take care of injuries..." He lifted her face staring at the bruises "are you sure... your nose looks bad..."

"She's fine, nothing broken Shinichiro "

"Told you"

"You have to join the black dragons !"

"Mmh?"

"Join the black dragons please "

The girl rose an eyebrow at the black haired boy, who had barged into the classroom during break. "No" he deflated at her answer before giving her a determined smile "we wanna change the ways of delinquents "

"I got better stuff to do then runaround with a gang"

" we don't just run around!'

She gave him a look "Look this is nice and all, but I don't have any time. I work and take care of my brother"

"How old is he?"

"Mmh? Shuji is 6"

That might explain why she just left yesterday, maybe something happened with her brother. He smiled at her, she really seemed to care about her younger brother.

"What?"

"Huh?"

"You had this weird grin"

He looked at the girl offended giving her a glare which caused her to laugh, he hasnt heard her laugh ever. He smiled that he had managed to make her smile "just think about it yeah? We're friends and we got to look after each other"

She stared at him in shock, he was her friend? The only friend she had was Lee, the blonde girl was persistent on being friends with (Y/n). Could she really have more friends? What if they got hurt. She flinched when she felt a hand on her head, looking up she saw Shinichiro looking down at her "Don't think about it too much okay"

Shuji frowned, keeping his down. Was he really cursed like the kids whispered?? Did he really kill his mother? What if he killed (Y/n)!? He couldn't lose her, she was his hero.

He clenched his fist and continued to listen to the whispering of his classmates, they continued insulting him and his curse. Don't fight them, ignore them like (Y/n) said. He did his best to ignore the kids until one had mentioned her name, saying how she was cursed like her brother.

He charged at the boy swinging his fist when an arm grabbed his "Shu…" he look up at his sister with frustrated tears. She turned her head towards the kids, who froze seeing the older girl "I hate kids like you" she stared at the kids.

"You think you're tough? " the young boy took a step back nervously " is it fun scaring other kids?" He started tearing up expecting the girl to hurt him, when he felt a gentle hand on his head " don't do it again okay? "

She pulled Shuji away and started walking home with him "Are you mad?" He asked, staring at his sister, she shook her head looking at him "You wanted to defend me didn't you? That's okay but don't go punching other kids"

if someone asks again in all seriousness "How could this mf be rejected about 20 times. There was blind or something 🙄" when he is a fucking dangerous gang leader known all over Japan and also a simp womanizer, unable to give a girl anything but a nervous tic and unable to give her time due to the duties of a "father" for younger brothers and sister, then I will beat them and kick their fucking ass under the bus and force them to go the issekai way.

Part 2 of request Shinchiro x popular reader (sorry i did it on hurry) :

Reader is super serious and cold to everyone but him

MASTERLIST

Sano Shinichiro x f!Reader

Word Count: 2.7k

Genre: Crack, Fluff, Friends to Lovers

Warning: The usual spoiler warnings, implied sexual threats, cursed words

Synopsis: Your journey into becoming Shinichiro’s girlfriend.

a/n: hey hey anon~ thanks for the request, this turned out longer than expected ngl but i hope you liked it!! <33 (also, thank you lovelies for 600 followers, i wasnt able to check the other milestones cause everything happened so fast - like 1 1/2 months? but thank you <33)

Letting out a sigh, you straightened your back, face stoic as you made your way to his classroom, barely acknowledging the students who greeted you as you walked past them.

Peaking through the open door, you spot Shinichiro with his friends, the four of them seeming to have just finished lunch which makes you look down at the small bag of cookies in disdain, silently scolding yourself for not going earlier so that he’ll be able to eat the cookies as a treat during lunch.

A sigh leaves your lips, shoulders slumping just a little but before you can fall into a deeper sense of dejection, someone cuts through your thoughts.

“L/N-san? Are you okay? Do you need anything?” Aiko, from what you can remember, asks you, voice small and timid as she offers you a small smile which makes your eyes widen a little as you look them straight in the eye in surprise at being caught lingering around. They flinch a little, not expecting for you to actually look at them.

You notice how more people are now looking in your direction after she mentioned your name. Composing yourself, you clear your throat. “I’m here for Sano Shinichiro.”

As soon as his name escapes your lips, the room explodes in a fit of murmurs, all of them looking at you or Shinichiro who just started to notice you by the door.

Once both of your eyes meet, he offers you a smile, immediately standing up from his chair and waving his friends off when they start pushing him around. You can hear some of the words that they’re saying.

“Tsk, Sano’s about to get in trouble huh? No way L/N-san’s gonna be giving him the light of day unless he did something to trouble the School Council.”

“I think a teacher sent her ‘cause Sano hasn’t been handing in his homework. Too busy with his gang.”

You can hear how his classmates all snickered under their breath, the snickering group all giving Shinichiro a dirty look which started pissing you off.

Shinichiro makes his way to you, hand going straight to your hair to ruffle it up much like he always does when the two of you meet up.

A smile is about to make its way to your face but his classmates’ comments made you frown.

“I don’t even know why he thinks that he can just go and be close with L/N-san when all he’s good for is getting beaten up.”

They all burst out laughing once more, guffawing at the irritated looks that Shinichiro’s friends are giving them. Even from the door, you can see the way the assholes are trying to hide their shaking hands when they heard Wakasa whisper a threat directed at them, but you’re not satisfied with the little threat since you know that the Black Dragon, you met them once when Shinichiro was walking you home after you tutored him for an exam, won’t be doing anything to actually harm any civilians.

You know this because Shinichiro told you before that they’re only after rival gangs. And because the faculty already issued a warning to the four Black Dragon members about any gang related activities near the school campus or any non-members in the school.

So, with full confidence and irritation, you walk over to the group of snickering buffoons and peered down on them, glaring at all of them one by one before speaking. “I don’t even know why any of you think that you’re better than Shinichiro or any of his friends just because you’re not part of a gang or something like that. Or that you ‘do your school work better’ than him. You don’t have the right to talk shit about any of them, especially to Shinichiro. Not when your personality is worse than all the trash in the world combined.”

You don’t notice Shinichiro’s gaped look as he stares at you with awe in his eyes, you also don’t notice the look that the 3 Black Dragon members are giving each other while watching you intimidate their classmates. The only thing you do notice is that the boys that you’re glaring at are giving each other smirks while eyeing you up and down.

“Now now, L/N-san, you shouldn’t be getting too cocky, the Black Dragon won’t be coming to your rescue once we actually do something about that big mouth of yours.” His friends snicker at his words while the rest of his classmates all looked on with horror.

With one swift motion, your hand wraps around his throat, pushing him off of his chair until he’s forced to lean back and hold onto your wrist so that he won’t fall onto the floor. Gasps can be heard as you lean down on his reddening face, still holding him up with only one hand.

“Shall I report you to the faculty for threats of sexual assault? Or should I go to the police station now and file the report there? Do you want to see just what will happen if I do something about you and your friends? I can and will ruin your life if you give me the reason to. I’m not part of the student council for nothing. I’m there because I’m not afraid of handing out punishment to those deserving of it.”

Rolling your eyes at the way he’s gone completely white from your threat, you tighten your grip on his neck and pull him up.

Finally letting him go, you turn around and start walking back to Shinichiro who’s waiting for you by the door, mouth wide with his eyes open like saucers.

Ignoring the lingering looks of his classmates, you subtly hold his pinky, pulling him towards the rooftop.

“Thank you for protecting me back there. You were also very cool.” Shinichiro shyly compliments you, eyes darting to the side, trying his best to hide the growing blush on his face, afraid that you’ll think of him weirdly.

Shaking your head, you let go of his pinky in order to open the door to the rooftop.

Letting him in, you close the door behind you and give him a smile, the tension in your body disappearing now that you’re alone with him.

The sight of him makes your heart beat just a little faster than normal, cheeks heating up when you remember why you dragged him here on the rooftop.

“It was nothing, Shinichiro. I just couldn’t let them say bad things about you or Black Dragon when I know how much they mean to you.”

Looking him straight in the eyes, you continue.

“That's why I like you so much.”

It took 3 seconds for the words to sink in and for Shinichiro’s neck to almost break as he gives himself whiplash, head moving from left to right, trying to see if someone’s behind him and that you’re just confessing - are you confessing? Is this a confession? - to someone behind him.

Or maybe you’re playing a joke on him?

But you just stood up for him earlier. You wouldn’t do something as cruel as play with his feelings even though you are cruel enough to hand out punishments to the students who break the school rules without any hesitation.

And so far, Shinichiro hasn’t done anything to warrant a punishment from you, right?

So this must surely be true and that the president of the student council, head of the disciplinary committee, first honour of the batch ever since the two of you started school, is actually confessing her love for him, right?

This is not a dream, right?

RIGHT?

THIS IS NOT A DREAM, RIGHT?

Just as Shinichiro’s about to lose his mind, you decide to step in, a little concerned with the wide-eyed look that your crush is sporting, along with the shaking hands.

So, with the gentleness that you’ve practiced for years, you take a step closer to him and raise your hand, taking his shaking ones in yours and holding onto it tightly. Thankfully, the shaking stops.

Offering a small smile, you start to speak. “You don’t have to accept it Shinichiro, I know that you’re not that interested in me considering you’ve almost asked out all of the girls in our batch except for me, but I just wanted to confess now before I regret it.”

A light chuckle leaves your lips even though your chest feels so painful from the sting that’s going through your body right now, but alas, you keep your facade up, not wanting to guilt trip him into accepting your feelings.

When he still hasn’t said anything, you decide that it’s finally time to let go.

So, with another gentle but fake smile, you slowly let go of his hand, fingertips grazing against his knuckles as you pull away.

But just as you’re about to fully let go, Shinichiro lets out a grunt and quickly takes your hands in his, hands tightly gripping onto yours as he stares at you with wide eyes. It takes him a few seconds to gather his thoughts, heart starting to beat wildly when he sees the way your eyes look all watery.

God, he’s an idiot.

For years, he’s like you.

And now, he almost let you get away when you’ve just flat out confessed that you liked him too.

God.

When he gets home, he’ll make sure to ask Mikey to kick him.

“No no, please don’t go. No no, sorry, I just, I didn’t know what to say. I was too overwhelmed. I thought you were joking or it was a dream. But I like you. I love you too. I mean, no. I like you. I’ve liked you for years! I’ve liked you ever since you helped Mikey and Emma when they were looking for me in school and you were holding their hand and they looked like angels beside you even though they’re total brats. And they were telling me stories about how you bought them snacks in the cafeteria. Then the next day, you talked to me and helped me with school. Then, you. Oh God, this is embarrassing. But you told me that you’ll start helping me with exams and then you asked me to go to your house so that you can tutor me and that was the first time that I went to a girl’s house and I saw your dad’s motorcycle and we talked during dinner and it felt like we were dating. I know it’s weird but I really like you and I’m sorry that I didn’t get to confess first but thank you for confessing-”

Now, you’re the one being overwhelmed by his confession, not sure on what you’re supposed to be focusing on.

He loves you?

Liked you for years?

Mikey and Emma?

First time in a girl’s house?

Your dad’s motorcycle?

What even…what?

Calming yourself down, you look at Shinichiro, trying your best to not laugh at the way his face looks redder than a tomato and how his chest is heaving like crazy. It looks like he just fought in another gang fight.

Taking a deep breath, you give his hand a little squeeze, feeling how he’s starting to sweat. “Shinichiro, calm down…” You watch as he listens to you, taking in deep breaths and only staring at you. You can see the way he’s starting to relax, face going back to its usual colour. “Alright, you don’t have to tell me everything today okay? We have the rest of our days for that now that we’re dating, yeah?”

At that, his cheeks bloom into a palette of pinks and reds, lips parting as he aggressively nods at your words. “Does that mean you’re my girlfriend now?” He whispers, voice a little raspy.

You almost coo at how cute he looks now, with his styled up hair being blown by the wind, face red and lips all pouty. Makes you want to kiss him.

But you’ll save that for later.

“Yes, and I’m assuming that you’ll be my boyfriend?”

A choked sob escapes his lips as he pulls you against him, arms wrapping around your form as he presses a light kiss to the side of your head, his chest pressed against yours and you can almost feel the erratic beating of his heart. Or maybe that’s your heart beating wildly in your own chest. Either way, both of you are too caught up in finally being together for you to notice the door opening behind you.

Though the distinct voice of his friends does break the two of you up.

“Oh god, don’t tell me the two of you are dating?!” Takeomi shouts from the doorway, mouth open in shock as he watches the two of you pull away from each other, Wakasa and Keizo right behind him, also with shocked looks.

“Are you sure?!” Wakasa barrels through, pushing Takeomi aside so that he can stand in front of you, his blond hair swaying in the wind as he gives you a serious look. “Are you sure about this L/N? There’s no going back once you start dating him.”

Shinichiro’s eye twitches, blood boiling at the absolute DISRESPECT coming from his friends and Black Dragon members.

He’s literally their leader, do they not have an ounce of respect for him?!

Keizo steps in, pushing Wakasa away from you. The giant gives you a concerned look, hesitantly placing a hand on your shoulder and slightly nudging you away from Shinichiro. “Are you sure? Are you sure about this L/N? It’s never too late to back out. We’ll help you get away from him if you need it.”

Shinchiro feels like he’s about to start a gang war with his own members, he feels like he needs to start bringing his wrench and just start hitting people on the head everytime they question your budding relationship with him.

EVEN HIS FRIENDS CAN’T BE HAPPY FOR HIM.

Flicking Keizo’s hand away from you, he shoos his friends away, eyes squinting, trying to see where his real friends are ‘cause these men ain’t it.

“Can’t you be normal and congratulate me for finally being in a relationship with the person I’ve liked for years?” He says, voice stern as he stares his friends down.

There’s silence for a bit, with you silently standing beside Shinichiro, subtly holding his hand. You can see the way his face tints pink at your action. The sight only makes your chest feel warmer.

Damn, it hasn’t even been 10 minutes but the butterflies sure are having a fiesta.

“Are you sure about this L/N?”

Shinichiro’s just about to jump Takeomi, fists ready to pummel his friend to the ground as best as he can when the bell sounds, indicating that lunch is ending.

Tugging on Shinchiro’s hand, you give all of them a heartwarming smile, one that you rarely give anyone. “Well, I need to get going, I still have things to do but…” Facing Shinichiro, you tilt your head to the side, shyness blossoming in your chest at your next words. “If you want, we can go to your house later so that I can visit your siblings again? We can have a date too if you want.”

He can barely nod his head, heart erratically beating from excitement at the promised date along with smugness, seeing his friends all gape at you in disbelief at proposing a date AND meeting his family on the first day of dating.

Waving at them, you start walking away, steps light from the new found connection you have with the boy you like.

“ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DATE MY BROTHER?!”

“Y/N-chan, I know you’re a smart girl, why not think about it first-”

“YOU NEED TO SAVE YOURSELF Y/N-NEE! SHINICHIRO IS NOT WORTH I-”

“DOES NO ONE BELIEVE IN ME?! ARE YOU NOT MY FAMILY?!”

From the very first encounter that you’ve had with the Sano family as Shinichiro’s girlfriend, you can say that you’ll be loving every second of being a part of this family. <3
