pairing: arataki itto x introverted gn reader

req: no | wc: 430 | Modern AU

summary: You never really get a quiet moment with Itto, apart from this one time you didn’t quite mean to cause.

a/n: inspired by bruno major - nothing. The one lyric from it which I use doesn’t do well on its own without the rhythm of the song, but I’m not experienced in writing songfics, so I’ll just leave it like this.

- I’ve matched that one lyric with my reading speed, so that when it appears on the fic, it should also appear on the song. People have different reading speeds, though, so it’s not going to be perfect.

- also for the future arataki mains to read while waiting!

Quiet moments were rare with Itto.

He was always chatting away about this and that passion of his. It was cute, really. You were glad to be a listener, since carrying conversations tended to be difficult for someone like you.

His rowdiness tended to bring many a troublesome situation. Whether it was being called out specifically to be silent or his bluntness in asking people for competitions, each moment was quite entertaining.

This was a given with Itto, and well, you were never bored.

Not even with movies taking his full focus would he stop mumbling.

Itto wasn’t the brightest of folk. Sometimes, data went through one of his ears and then out the other; and sometimes, his mind wasn’t enough to process information. “What did she just say? “Why greatness? Why is goodness not enough?” Argh, what’s up with the fancy talk?”

And even when the scenery was enough to silence most folk, for its beauty and briskness was enough to take one’s breath away, he did not seem to take note of it.

Just like always, he was chatting away mindlessly. Though he may have already talked to you about most of his hobbies, he didn’t seem to notice. “I mean, they should be an olympic sport! The competitors have like, 10 minutes! 10 minutes to find a random beetle from a random area and then, after that, they take them to a ring and…”

“Have I told you lately “I’m grateful you’re mine” ?”

Itto stops in his rambling, which was certainly a relief for the cafe patrons around you. For once, you’ve got him speechless, although not intentionally. In truth, you meant to say that in your mind. “Could you…” He gulps, “could you say that again?”

You chuckle at how flustered he seems to be, “I’m grateful you’re mine.”

A noticeable blush spreads upon his cheeks. This wasn’t the most uncommon of things, but it was certainly cherished. “You alright, sweetheart?” You teasingly ask.

“I-” He clears his throat, “I am.”

He doesn’t continue talking, at the very least, not yet. He glances out the window and catches the sight of the sunset. “...mighty beautiful, no?”

“Typically, yes. But now? I’d say you’re prettier.”

“Archons…” Itto sighs, “You’re not going to let this down, are you?” He was often not the one being complimented, trying to find compliments usually resulted in a perpetually thinking mind for you, so he wasn’t quite used to it.

“No. I’d wager that’s okay, though?” Though there was nothing to wager. You were sure of it.

“Yes.. it’s perfectly fine.”

pairing: arataki itto x kitsune male reader

req: yes | wc: 548 | cw: mention of death causes (kitsune ramen)

anon: hello!! could i req itto with a kitsune male reader?

summary: Itto asks for some Kitsune Ramen. Does he have a death wish or is he just hungry?

a/n: I would’ve rejected the request (it doesn’t contain plot) if it weren’t for the fact I do indeed also have brain rot and I already thought of a scenario.

It’s a nice, pleasant afternoon. It’s not too warm, not too cold, not too sunny; so, you take advantage of it. You currently sit below a tree, enjoying its shade, and eating lunch.

The sound of tree leaves swaying in the breeze, birds chirping and a distinct lack of battle noise is something you enjoy basking in. The overall white noises, which you could call silence, is quite the change of pace. Why’s that? Arataki Itto, your partner, was a loud one. He said everything with his booming loud voice. Now, of course, you loved him; but it was nice to have some time for yourself every once in a while.

“Boo!” Speaking of which, Itto appears out of thin air behind you.

Though, obviously with those keen ears of yours, you could hear him coming from miles away. Thank your Kitsune heritage. However, your partner’s not one to be dejected. “What’re ya eatin’?” He asks, brushing off the fact he failed to scare you.

“Itto.” You greet, slurping away at your lunch noodles. “Kitsune ramen.”

“Can I have some?” It is then that you’re reminded of that competition that Itto nearly died in.

It was an eating competition between Lady Guuji (Yae) and Arataki Itto, the food to eat was kitsune ramen. Now, how could he have possibly almost died?

Did he eat too fast and choke? No.

You see, Kitsune ramen contains fried tofu. It’s delicious, quite honestly, but it was made of beans. Onis, and Itto by correlation, were allergic to beans.

Why did he accept this competition in the first place? He was competitive, overly competitive.

“No.”

“Why not?” He whines.

“Did you forget what this has?” You pick up a piece of the fried tofu and show it off to him, careful to keep it away from him in case he was crazy enough –actually, he was– to take it from you as if you were feeding him.

“Oh come on,” He huffs, “It’s not like the tofu’s absolutely everywhere! I can just eat the noodles, and the broth, and the-” He continues to rant, but you tune him out.

“Can’t risk it.” You reply and continue eating, ignoring his subsequent pleads.

Itto, noticing your lack of attention on him, lets out a final huff. He buries his head in your hair to –somehow– coerce you through sheer annoyance to give him some, but even then you don’t say anything. He realizes that he can’t get any, and you wouldn’t let him.

He lets out a sigh into your hair. Then he remembers his favorite part of you, the top of your head. Your soft hair and your kitsune ears, ah, it was heaven.

“Give up?”

“Yeah..” He grumbles into the velvety short fur of your ears.

“Here.”

He perks up. When his eyes land on the object you’re handing him, he blinks rapidly in shock. “F’me?”

“Yep.” You reply, shaking the Dango milk bottle from side to side. “Now take it before I change my mind.”

Itto reaches out to take it with a small laugh, but you take it away from his reach for a second. “And get your face out of my hair before drinking.”

He frowns but takes the bottle anyway, “You don’t trust me not to make a mess?”

“Nope.”

Contestant #9 Arataki Itto

“I didn't have anything planned."

Mayb’s 3k & Valentine’s Day event

Word Count: 493

"What?"

"I didn't have a plan." He rephrases, not that you weren't confused on what he said, you were more in shock than anything. "Like I knew- I KNOW I'm famous and all, with the gang being named after ME, I just didn't think anyone would guess because of that hint. Like, why did they make THAT my hint? I always win!"

"So…" You grimace, "you didn't think I'd guess you."

"Not at all. I'm offended, 's all." Now that you notice it, he's slightly slouching. No doubt he's hurt, more than he lets off.

"Um, hey well… I've got a challenge for you!" At this, he perks up. There's a star in his eye, you can tell he loves challenges. "Prove the show wrong. Win something."

"You're right!" He exclaims, smile wide on his face. "I'll prove 'em wrong!"

And prove them wrong he did…

Or at least, he tried.

It was true that Itto put all his effort in everything. If one could beyond 100% of their effort, Itto would be at 1000%. Still, it didn't seem like it mattered much to the universe.

"Darn!"

"No, no, no!"

"C'mon Knight of the Crimson Night!"

Cry as he might, it didn't help or encourage his little beetle. He'd found one of decent size, and nice color; although, it didn't have that fighting spirit in it. It couldn't even stand against beetles randomly picked up on the spot by the random kids Itto challenged. At this, Itto was devastated, but he couldn't lose your challenge! No way!

He needed to give you a good impression by at least winning something!

So, he settled for rock paper scissors. It was a game of chance, he thought, surely he'd win at least once.

That's the way it would've gone if he had a thought behind his eyes.

"...scissors, shoot!"

For the umpteenth time, he holds out rock, you hold out paper.

"Itto?"

"Hm?"

"Change to scissors, will you?"

"Okay."

So you begin to chant once again, "Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!"

It's as if his hand ceases in one position and one only. He couldn't change it, and you weren't sure if it was because his hand no longer worked or he thought rock was the surefire strategy.

"Shoot, agh," He groans, "lost again."

Either luck was not on his side, or he was absolutely incapable of winning anything in any way.

You sigh, "Let's do it again. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!"

You throw scissors, he throws rock.

Instantly, Itto rears back with a roar and throws his arms above his head. "I did it! I proved them wrong!" He bonks his fist against your scissors for good measure.

As much as you wanted to be disappointed at the oni, you really couldn't. He seemed so happy like this.

"You sure did, Itto. Proud of you, bud."

"Really?!"

You can't help but laugh at the sheer genuineness in his voice, "'Course."

pairing: platonic itto, kazuha, and thoma x gn reader

req: no | wc: 536

summary: The gang brings you a birthday cake!

a/n: it‘s my birthday. whether the fic is normal teyvat or modern au is ambiguous.

“Happy birthday.” The three of them –Itto, Kazuha, Thoma– smile wide at you.

You can tell by the way Kazuha is slightly hunched over that he’s been forced into doing this, not that he doesn’t love you or anything, but he doesn’t quite enjoy being in Itto’s presence.

Itto is, like always, obnoxiously oblivious… almost like a puppy. If he was a dog, what breed would he be? Golden retriever? Perhaps a Husky, because they’re both loud?

The most stable of them, Thoma, holds a beautifully and intricately decorated cake in his hands. No doubt, if it was made by him, it would taste amazing as well. Except, though he oh so wishes to focus on you, he can’t help but glance either side of him to make sure the samurai and oni aren’t going to cause trouble. Kazuha himself wasn’t a troublesome man, but Itto was unpredictable, and so was any situation that involved the two of them; together, within vicinity.

Their attention snaps back to you when you reply, “Did you make this?”

Thoma glances either side again before staring back at you, “I did. Itto tried to pitch in, Kazuha pushed him away because he claimed he was too “clumsy to belong in the kitchen” and then Itto tried to get in again, so I kicked them both out.” You snicker and it brightens his smile, “I didn’t make the whole thing myself, though. Kazuha stirred a little, so did Itto.”

“Take the credit anyway.”

He shakes his head, “Make a wish.” You raise an eyebrow, so he explains further, “You’ve got a lot more friends than us, that much I-we know. I bet they’re dying to congratulate you. So, we don’t want to be a burden.”

“You’re not a burden,” You sigh, “you’ll never be.”

“We know.” The housekeeper keeps the lead, “But you should make your rounds. A lot of people are grateful for you, you know?”

You roll your eyes. He, nor Itto or Kazuha, will back down. So, you close your eyes and make a wish (or two).

You wish for Kazuha and Itto to get along. You wish the Yashiro Commission and its clan gave Thoma more vacation time. You wish Thoma took more breaks willingly. All in all, you wish your friends to stay as happy as they are.

When you open your eyes again, Itto and Kazuha are bickering over the cake while Thoma tries hard to stop them from devolving further while keeping the cake up and balanced at the same time.

The oni prods a shoulder at Kazuha’s side, which he didn’t mean to be quite strong at all but he’s immensely strong and can barely hold back his strength. Due to this, Kazuha lurches to the side, nearly colliding with Thoma.

“Oh-” He avoids it by stepping forward, he brings the cake up in the air far above your head to keep it from colliding with you.

The situation is rather silly. You begin to laugh, which catches their attention.

Itto grins wide, Kazuha tries his best to do so as well as he stands up from the floor, and Thoma smiles apologetically.

Perhaps you shouldn’t have wished for more than one thing.

𝕋𝔸𝕃𝔼𝕊 𝕆𝔽 𝕋𝔼𝕐𝕍𝔸𝕋 The Battle of Hotpot: Samurai vs. Oni (ft. Thoma!)

Word Count: 840

Summary: Kazuha, Thoma, and Itto are having a hot pot guessing competition; or, at least, it’s a competition because Itto made it one.

"That's a tomato, that has to be a tomato!" Thoma exclaims, confident in his guess.

"That's a tomato." Kazuha affirms nonchalantly. In most cases, he’d be happy to spend time with Thoma, especially after being away from Inazuma for a while. Right now, though, he was quite agitated. Why?

Arataki Itto. "That's not just a tomato, Kazuha! That's a‐" Itto butts in.

"I know it's a cherry tomato, Itto, but we don't need to make that distinction." He gives him an irritated sidelong glance. Kazuha’s patience is beginning to wear thin.

"But we do, Kazuha! It's a competition-!" Itto insists, gesturing wildly around the place.

"It's not a serious competition, Itto." He pronounces Itto's name with irritation, but the oni doesn't seem to catch it. In some ways he’s glad, although Itto wouldn’t be mad at him either way; and in other ways, he’s upset, because Itto can’t and won’t be taking the hint. "There are no prizes."

"The prize is bragging rights!” Itto has always been one for making anything into a competition. Kazuha doesn’t see why. At the beginning he didn’t quite mind, but competition after competition, he began to hate it. “I have many bragging rights and I intend to get more."

"Guys, let's just calm down." Thoma takes off the blindfold and hands it over to Kazuha. His smile is crooked, awkward, and most of all, concerned. "Your turn, Kazu."

The last time Itto had gotten so far under Kazu’s skin, he’d almost fallen off a cliff. An accident, of course, a product of a sudden increase in the wind.

"Kazoo." Itto snickers.

Kazuha rolls his eyes behind the blindfold, glad that Itto couldn’t see the gesture, since that meant the annoying man wouldn’t make a comment on it. He stirs his chopsticks around the hotpot for a few seconds before picking one ingredient. It’s a bit heavy, actually, so Kazu’s a bit suspicious.

He takes a deep breath to prepare himself and takes a bite, “BLEGH!”

Someone bursts out laughing. Kazuha doesn’t have to see to know who it is, that archons-awful laugh is simply recognizable. “Itto, what in celestia did I just bite?”

“You have to guess, samurai.” Kazuha can practically feel Itto’s smug smirk radiating off of his stupid face.

It tasted like a peppermint, although it was heavy and- oh, it was kicking in now. “Spicy.” Kazuha mutters. He’s no stranger to chilis, but they weren’t his favorite meal. Minty, meaty, heavy, bit of a texture of salad somewhere in there; if he had to guess, which with Itto he did, he had to say, “Mint Rolls?”

“Minty meat rolls.” Itto corrects. Minty meat rolls are a dish of their own, they certainly did not belong in a soup. Usually they’re dressed in sauce as well, so with the broth washing away that sauce, you’re left with soggy mint and the meat wrapping almost falling off. Perfect ingredient, no? “I guess we don’t have to specify, like you said earlier, but can we say half a point?”

At once, both Thoma and Kazuha speak up. “Itto…” They warn.

“Okay, okay,” With the blindfold now off, Kazu can see Itto put his arms up in surrender. “fine, one point.”

“Your turn now, Itto.” Kazuha smiles devilishly. He hopes that Itto will pick up one of the ingredients he brought specifically for him and his bothersome a-

Itto smiles back, taking the blindfold from his hands. “I’ll guess it right.”

“Sure you will.”

Thoma, glancing back and forth between his two friends, is getting increasingly worried. What did Kazuha have in plan and how did he manage to avoid whatever crazy ingredient Kazuha had brought?

Itto takes his time, stirring his chopsticks around until he settles on the –in his mind– perfect ingredient, easiest to guess. Kazuha smiles wider, Thoma raises an eyebrow. Was this really what he brought for Itto?

A plain qingxin flower.

After taking a bite, Itto sticks out his tongue with a smaller “blegh” of his own.

Bitter, he didn’t like that. He enjoyed savory foods, fried foods, maybe desserts every now and then, but he despised the bitter. However, this was a competition, and the oni was competitive. He needed to win this. Though, since he didn’t quite like bitter things, he didn’t know which ingredients were bitter.

“Sakura petals?” He makes a guess.

Kazuha lets out an evil, reverberating laugh. After his small fit of laughter, he announces proudly, “No.”

“No?”

“It’s a qingxin flower.”

He knew his friends –friend and Itto– had never gone to Liyue, and if they had and they hadn’t told him, they certainly would’ve never climbed to the highest peaks of Jueyun Karst. And if they had heard of the flower, which he didn’t think they had, nobody would care to mention its bitter flavor.

“NOOOOO”

“YEEES”

Thoma shakes his head in disbelief, who knew the usually calm Kazuha was capable of planning something with such ill-intent as this?

In the end, Kazuha got his revenge.

Samurai vs. Oni, the intellectual samurai wins.
