Hate that I love you. (Part 01)
Characters: Kyotani Kentaro x Female Reader (slight mention of Toru Oikawa)
Warning: Foul Language
Kentaro Kyotani does not want to admit that he remembers how he met you. If anybody heard the way he spoke with such delicacy and softness about that moment, they would immediately assume that he is in love with you. Which he is, but he would rather be kicked in the balls than admitting something like that.
He met you in the bustling halls of the elementary school, among the giggles and chatter of the other kids. His heart was captured as he saw you, as you made your way to ask him if you could play with him.
“C-Can I play with you?” You stuttered, as you looked him in the eyes.
How come you weren’t scared of him? How come you didn’t flinch away from him like the other kids did?
“Whatever,” He replied as he rolled his eyes, trying to be nonchalant about it. As if his heart wasn’t jumping out of excitement.
You were his first friend.
And his first crush…
At first, he dismisses it as a passing fancy, a silly crush destined to fade with time. But as years slipped by, your presence remained a constant warmth in his life.
Because you were more than just his friend, you were his confidante, his ally in the maze of school life. You helped him with assignments, shared your notes and nudged him towards success. When he stumbled, you were there to pick him up, encouragement a steady anchor in stormy seas.
You made him laugh until his sides hurt, the one who he would share his deepest secrets with beneath the shade of the playful tree, the one who sat as you scolded him with a gentle hand when he veered off course.
The only girl, apart from his mom that he treated kindly as if you were delicate like a leaf, as if your feelings were build out of crystal.
But why does it seem that fate plays a cruel hand?
Why are you dating that idiot? Why are you dating his captain?
Yes, he knew you had a crush on his captain for a while. But he thought that you would know by time that Toru Oikawa it’s a fuckboy. That he collects girls like pokemon cards and does not give a single fuck.
“You do know the kind of guy he is…. Right?” He said, his voice low and hesitant. “Like it’s not a secret…”
“Ken, I know the rumors,” You began, “But that doesn’t mean they are true.”
He clenched his jaw, fighting back the surge of emotions threatening to overwhelm him. He knew he had no right to feel this way, but jealousy gnawed at him from the inside out.
“What do you mean they are not true?” He spoke, “He has like a hundred exes,” He sighed
You tilted your head. studying him with those kind eyes that had ensnared his heart from the very beginning. "I know his reputation, Ken. But people can change. And Toru... he's been different with me. He's been... kind."
The word struck him like a blow to the chest. Kind. Wasn't that what he had always strived to be for you? Yet here you were, finding kindness in the arms of someone else. "Sweet words don't mean anything, you know," he muttered, his gaze fixed on the ground. "He's just using them to get what he wants."
A gentle hand on his arm made him look up, meeting her gaze once more. "Ken, are you... jealous?"
The question hung in the air between them, heavy with unspoken truths.His heart raced, his mind scrambling for an excuse, a way to deflect the truth that threatened to spill from his lips. "What? No way! I'm just... I'm just worried about you, that's all."
You smiled, a bittersweet expression that tore at his soul. "I appreciate your concern, Ken Ken. But I can take care of myself. And I want to give Toru a chance. Can't you support me in this?"
His throat tightened with the words he longed to say, the confession he dared not speak aloud. "Of course," he forced out, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'll support you, no matter what."
You leaned in to hug him, Kyotani closed his eyes, willing himself to swallow the bitter taste of unspoken love. But as your arms wrapped around him, he couldn't help but wonder... would he ever find the courage to tell you the truth?

A while ago I was shooting the shit with some Battletech oldheads and I mentioned I kinda wanted one of the old, slim metal Mad Dogs. Lo and behold, one was produced and I was told it'd be more use to me than it was moldering in a pile of shame. Hopefully I did it's old owner proud.
This is an *old* miniature. It's at least 23 years old based on the Ral Partha stamp, but its possibly as old as 30. That's old enough that I'm not sure whether or not the pewter in this is lead free ':v
Size comparison with a modern Mad Dog. Children grow up so fast these days

Cassandra Cain and Jason Todd parallels - "I'm ready"
I tried not to compare Jason and Cassandra paths, I really did. But they are my favourites out of all Bat-related characters and Batman talks to her about Jason, a little, and
and she goes to find her mother, to ask if she's her mother, to know, to see for herself, she needs it,
and ends up. dying. I. I can't.
He gets..
She gets...
He's forced to remember
She won't do anything but remember
(which is... not a good example, but can you blame me? Her whole Batgirl run is full of memories she keeps bringing up. She's consumed by her past, but.. she's, at the same time, so much more than this past.)
There is no end, there is no beginning. What do they see, looking in the mirror?
They die as heroes.
(she won)
(he lost)
...and it's their mothers who set deadly traps for them. Their mothers are the reason they die.
then..
Someone tells them they are alive, somehow, again.
And it's a mistake - to let them live.
Their mothers are dead.
Everything has changed.
Something in their very souls twists.
They are different, now, too.
Batgirl (2000) #65-73, Batman (1940) #427-428, Batman (1940) Annual #25, Red Hood: Lost Days #1-6.
