Say what you want about the anime, but after the complicated history of all of KomaHina, they made me believe in it with all my heart with just one line.
“Izuru Kam-no…wait, you’re Hajime Hinata.”
And that’s so beautiful.
It’s just great writing. From that moment, I actually knew Hajime and Nagito had a future together to go towards.

I think one of the things I love the most about Haikyuu is that even though the whole manga comes from a place of love from Furudate who created the story specifically to get people into volleyball, there is nothing to make you feel bad about not wanting to play anymore
There are characters who are completely obsessed with volleyball. There are characters who aren't obsessed but are interested enough to keep going. There are characters who weren't into it but did it anyway and then just couldn't stop. There are characters who started doing volleyball and then realized they didn't like it anymore, then left and were better for it. There are characters who are like "this was cool and it was nice but I don't want to do this forever". There are characters who never play but still support the teams anyway
And the story validates every single one of these experiences. There's no "this experience is better than that experience", there are just characters who like it, don't like it, are obsessed with it or can appreciate everything that happens in a game regardless of their feelings towards it
It's just really nice to go through the story and feel the whole acceptance through the writing itself, to see that Furudate is encouraging you to try volleyball, to experience how fun it can be, and if it's not fun for you or you fell out of love with it or just don't want to do it anymore, then that's fine! At least you experienced it! At least you tried! At least you learned something about yourself! And hopefully you made friends along the way!
Haikyuu inspires people to try something new but never does it show a characters negative feelings or lack of feelings towards it as invalid and wrong. It just encourages you to do what makes you happy. I really appreciate that

You’ve been… needy, today.
Normally, Kiyoomi is immune to it, if anything, he embraces your clingiest of affections and he takes them with ease, but today, for some reason, you’re nuzzling and nudging at him with every little thing, your eyes curved into a sad pout every time he looks down at you.
It seems like you’re insatiable, you’re on a craving for a fix you can’t seem to get, and he’s fairly certain you’ve almost cried at him a few times for that little bit of affection you can’t seem to get enough of, and normally Kiyoomi can read you like a novel, front to back.
Today, it’s almost like you’re a different person- no longer able to voice their needs, but plead for him to figure it out. Someone who doesn't seem to trust him, but still eggs for assurance and validation.
And he doesn't know why, but he can't pinpoint it this time.
He's exhausted every avenue, he's does everything he can think of, every question he could ask has either given him no answer or another needy little choke in your answer. He doesn't know, okay, he's trying, but he doesn't want to just ask you point blank because there's a part of him that feels like he should know.
There's also a glimmer in your eyes that tells him that he should figure it out.
Finally, for whatever reason, you stop.
Now, you're creating distance, and he hates this even more than you trying to crawl into his skin.
At least then, you still wanted him.
"I'm going to shower."
Your voice cuts him out of his detecting, snapping him from his thoughts as he nods encouraging at you. If he didn't feel like it would end in a fight, he'd cheesily ask if you wanted him to join you, but the question dies when you spin on your heel to leave him in the bedroom, alone.
He needs to know. He has to figure it out.
There's a buzzing of his phone that snaps him out of his pity party, and enthusiastic text from Hinata about the new jersey designs. Something about how they need sizing and promo pictures, and they should all get together to plan.
At this point, Hinata couldv'e texted him about anything on the planet and he would've gone. In his head, he weighs his options of staying here and leaving the jersey talk for tomorrow.
Or leaving, and letting you both have some time apart to sort out your feelings.
He's barely able to think on it before his feet force him to get up and make his way to the bathroom, popping open the door to call to you.
He just hopes this works.
"Baby, I'll be back!" He calls, voice above the rushing water.
"Wait- what?" You call back.
"Hinata needs to steal me for a while to talk about our new jerseys, I should be back in a few hours."
"Kiyoomi-"
"I love you!" He says, interrupting you before closing the door and making his way out of the house. He hopes that some distance may calm whatever it is inside of you,
By the time he comes home, he's surprised to see the lights turned on.
Typically Kiyoomi can come home at any hour and find you in bed, asleep, clinging to his pillow, but tonight, it seems you either forgot to shut everything down, or you're still awake.
Maybe if you're awake, you'll be able to sort out whatever happened today before going to bed.
When he walks in, the house is quiet. Scarily quiet.
"Nice of you to show up."
Yeah. You're up. And you sound bored.
The house is still active, but rather than make a dash for him to leap into his arms for affection, you're instead on the couch, eyes heavy and face sad.
After a whole day of trying to cling to him and his every move, now you're willing to be sedate?
He sighs and walks to meet you in the living room, and whatever angry look you try to pull gets demolished by the wobbling of your lip. “What’re you still doing awake?”
You turn to look up at him sadly, tears swollen in your waterline as you blink at him expectantly. “I missed you.”
He smiles at your words before shrugging off his jacket and folding it over in his arms, “I missed you too, baby. How was your night?”
“Quiet.” Your lips twitch as if you want to say more, but no other words fall from your lips. He gives you a small chuckle and scratched the back of his head.
“That’s… exciting,” he offers. You shrug. The tenseness in the room makes him want to throw up, he’s not used to this coldness from you- typically, you’re throwing yourself at him, especially with how you were acting earlier, but now you seem like you couldn’t care less about him. "Did you do anything?"
"Nope."
"Oh..."
"Where did you go?"
He shrugs, "Hinata and Bokuto wanted to talk about the new jerseys and the plan for practice tomorrow; then we got dinner and had some drinks."
"And you didn't think to text me? Not once?"
Chills run up his spine as your question comes with an emotioned voice crack, "I... I guess it slipped my mind... I'm sorry."
"Mm."
He swallows thickly, but his pounding head desperately wants to call it a night. “Why don’t we go to bed, baby?”
“You go ahead, im gonna get some water.”
He smiles and nods as he makes haste to the bedroom, happy facade dropping once his back is towards you. All he wants right now is to curl up next to you and knock the rest if the day away, praying that you're in a similar headspace.
He all but tears off the clothes on his back, dressing into far more comfortable wear as he goes to wash his face. Usually, you're right next to him, butting your head against him, nudging him to the side so you can join him, or youre sitting on the closed toilet seat just to watch him.
You seemingly have no interest in doing that tonight.
By the time Kiyoomi's done, his stomach churns as you're still not in bed, surely it hasn't taken you more than two minutes to get some water, and with an exhausted, and almost annoyed groan, he shuffles back down the hall to see you.
You... you haven't moved.
“Hey,” he mumbles, rubbing his eye. “How come you’re out here? I thought we were going to bed?”
“You didn’t kiss me today.”
He didn’t?
“What do you mean?” He asks, stalking over to the couch. You shuffle over to make room for him, but your eyes never meet his. “I kissed you so many times today, baby.”
“No,” you snip. “You didn’t. I know, because I’m so used to you giving me kisses.”
“I’m... I'm sorry, I guess I just-“
“And you barely hugged me, either,” you sniffle. His brows furrow and instinctively, he tosses an arm around your shoulder to try and calm you down. “Any time I’d reach for you, you’d look at me like I was some nuisance, and make me feel bad for needing the affection.”
“Of course you’re not a nuisance!” He says, rocking you both. “God, fuck baby, I’m sorry, I thought you just needed some more attention than usual and I just-“
“I’m not done.”
A wave of nervousness shudders down his spine, but he pulls back slightly to give you your room to piece together your thoughts. Had he really been that neglectful today?
“You didn’t even eat dinner with me; you went out with the boys. I was in the shower, I didn’t even get a kiss goodbye- you called out a quick ‘love you!’ and went off doing whatever it was you did tonight. You didn’t call, and you didn’t text, and I was home alone, thinking that I did something wrong.”
"No wonder you’re upset- I’m sorry, baby. Whatever I did today wasn’t a reflection of how much I love you; I just got a little busy, and I didn’t mean to hurt you. I’ll do better tomorrow.”
You completely deflate. God, what has he done?
“Tomorrow?”
“Yeah,” he says sweetly, planting a kiss to your temple. “I never, ever wanted to hurt your feelings, and I’m sorry I did.”
You’re quiet. There’s a strange feeling of dread in the air. The longer you pause, the more he feels the anxiety settling in the pit of his soul.
"You really don't know why I'm mad...?"
He chokes on his own breath, "I... I didn't know you were mad..."
You hiccup in sadness, and he feels like he can't breathe.
The clock on the tv changes to 23:59, and you sigh sadly.
“Happy anniversary.”
You stand up without a word, letting Kiyoomi’s head fall forward along with his jaw. He looks at you in absolute terror, all while you face away from him, hugging yourself in an attempt to comfort yourself.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
The room is shrouded in suffocating silence, smothering anything Kiyoomi could say before he could even think of the words. Dark eyes dart over your frame. He feels sick, he could throw up on this rug right now, if he had anything to even puke up. Your shoulders heave, and he’d rather chew on broken glass covered alcohol before ever wanting him and his neglect to be the reason for your distress.
“I forgot,” he blurts.
No shit.
“I know you did.”
“How… could I forget?”
“You tell me.”
“I-I-I-I set so many reminders, how did I…”
“It doesn’t matter,” you snip, turning on your heel to stalk back down the hallway to your bedroom. “You forgot. And the day is over. It doesn’t matter.”
It does, he wants to argue. It matters, because you matter to him, and he abandoned you on a night that is so sacred to him, the day you crashed into his life and made him realize that whatever he was doing that put you on the road to him, was exactly where he wants to be.
He looks down at the clock on his iPhone, as it creeps over the 45 second mark, and he darts down the hallway. He runs like he’s being chased, like he’s on fire, and you can’t hide your noise of surprise when he bursts into your bedroom and tosses gangly arms around you and plants kisses all over your face.
He holds you so tight you could pop, and he sponges all the kisses he can over your neck and cheeks, and he hears you trying to fight back a giggle, and it only eggs him on to continue.
“I love you,” he pants. “I love you, I love you so much, every day I’m grateful for whatever being is watching us for putting me on the road to you. I don’t know who I worshipped right to be here, but I’ll be damned if I let my own stupidity sabotage that.”
“Kiyoomi,” you say, voice delicate and trying to stop itself from breaking. “You forgot. I just wanted... I wanted you to show up. You couldn't even give me that."
Now it's his turn for his lip to wobble.
You sniff sharply, "just forget about everything, I don’t care anymore.”
“But I care-“
“Clearly, you don’t,” you snap, trying to squeeze out of his grip. “I don’t have the energy for this right now. Let’s just go to bed.
“I’m not about to let this go.”
“Neither am I, but my demons need to rest.” Your eyes dart at his alarm clock, “yours too, apparently. Tomorrow you’re getting sized for jerseys- hopefully you didn’t forget that other important thing.”
Your words sting him sharply, even if he deserves every single one of them. He reels back slightly, gnawing at his lip as he tries to think of ways to fix this, fix the way you’re looking at him and feeling, fix the clear hole he’s singed into your heart.
You curl up into your side of the bed, pulling the blankets high, and he doesn’t know how long he does it, but he just stares at you. It’s like he’s waiting for you to scream at him, or cry, or do something that he should feel even more shitty for.
But it doesn’t happen.
You sniffle a few times, shuffle once or twice, and he doesn’t know just how long he’s been standing there until your breathing turns rhythmic and peaceful for the first time today. Your shoulders rise and fall, back facing away from him and god, he feels like such a loser about to lose the greatest thing that's ever happened to him.
Probably because he is.
You're going to leave him. You're going to see just how much he takes you for granted, how much more you're worthy of and how much more love anyone can give you- even if you still wanted to stay in the jackals, and he wouldn't blame you for shifting your love to someone like Hinata or Meian for a second.
A cold breeze smacks Kiyoomi in the face as, at some point in his spiraling, he ends up outside, keys jingling in hands and hoodie pulled messily on top of his head. His legs seem to know where he's going, even if he doesnt.
His legs take him everywhere that could possibly be open right now, there's no store with a three mile radius that he hasn't bought out between candy, chocolates, a few stuffed bears you'll adore, and three or four types of pizzas and sushi dishes each.
He doesn't care about the strange looks the cashiers and other patrons give him. He cares about trying to remember if you prefer sour or normal gummy bears. He cares about remembering if you like plain pizza or toppings.
He also cares about the way this pillow won't sit the hell up.
He cares immensely about the way the chairs from the island in the kitchen have no grip to them, and refuse to keep the blankets strewn across them up.
And fuck the knitted blanket draped over the lamp and top of the couch, because it refuses to stay the hell up and he's had to make at least four mad dashes to catch the falling object.
The fifth, naturally, crashes to the floor, and he can only sigh in defeat as he continues to fix the fort for the nth time.
"I'm armed," your voice yells from down the hall.
He chuckles, "no you're not."
You groan in annoyance before padding down the hall, and he turns his head to acknowledge your exhausted arrival.
“What’re you doing, Kiyoomi?” You ask, knuckling your eye. “It’s one in the morning.”
“It’s 12:23 pm on the east coast in America.”
You cock a brow, and he blinks simply before turning back to his blanket fort. He feels your eyes boring into his skull, but he ignores it. He’s busy.
“Uhm… thank you for the fun fact?”
“It’s 1:23 yesterday.”
“…and?”
“Komori is on the east coast,” he says easily, tongue poking out in focus. “Somewhere, I don’t really know where, I don’t know American geography. Which basically means a part of me is on the United States east coast. So, by the transitive property-“ he stands up and presents the messily made fort. “We still get to celebrate our anniversary.”
You smile sadly at his efforts but your bottom lip wobbles all the same, “kiyoomi, you forgot. Just drop it, okay?”
“No.”
“Kiyoomi, I’m tired-“
“I bought us some pizza,” he interrupts, lifting the reusable bags positively stuffed to the brim with other treats. “And i got those sour candies you like for some reason, but I picked aside all the ones you hate so you can just eat them in confidence-“
Your eyes glimmer in slight excitement.
“And-And-And I’ve got our favorite movies queued up, ready to go, but there’s a new playlist filled with love songs that I found-“
“Kiyoomi-“
“And god we haven’t danced around in months, do you remember the last time we danced? It was like… well, months.”
You giggle, and he brightens at the sound. He takes a soft sigh to calm down, “and I just… I know how bad I am at showing it.” He stands up and makes his way towards you, and when he cups your cheek in his hand and you mewl at him, he could cry from that alone. “But you are the only thing that matters. My only exception to any rule I could make. And I couldn’t give you the bare minimum, on the second most important day to do it.”
“Second?”
“If I forget your birthday, I need you to leave me,” he chuckles nervously. You slowly walk up to him as if timid and unsure, and when he opens an arm to ease you into a hug, he lets out a breath he didn’t even know he was holding as he squeezes you close. “I’m so sorry, baby.”
“I know,” you assure. There’s a comforting silence between you both, your cheek nuzzled into the dip of his sternum before you hum.
“Can I go with you to size jerseys tomorrow?”
“I’m not going to get my jersey sized tomorrow,” he says without missing a beat. You tense up in his arms, and before you can protest, he shushes you and cups the back of your head to keep you close. “They will live for one day without me. It takes four minutes tops. They will get over it.”
“But-“
“No buts,” he says, pulling back and looking down at you.
“But-“
“No.” He leans down to capture your lips in a kiss to shut you up, soft and familiar but just enough to keep you calm for him. You purr into the kiss and let your hands wander around his torso, fingers fisting the fabric of his night shirt tightly.
The fingers on your head gently fists the hair at the nape of your neck to keep you grounded for him, and the whimper you pant against him has him in euphoria.
“Thank you,” you sigh against his teeth. He shakes his head before pulling back slightly.
“Don’t thank me… not when I made you feel anything less than the love of my life.”
You chuckle and gently tug the waistband of his sweats. “I know you’re trying to make up for it, now.”
“You do?”
“How many men are gonna stay up, figure out the time zones in America and pick sour grape from my bag of candy just to try and fix a forgotten anniversary?”
He laughs and pulls you in for another hug, one tight and secure and as close as he can get you to snap any broken pieces together.
“I really am trying… I promise.”
“I know you are.”

Konoha 12 Domestic/Spousal Headcanons
Tumblr media
Tags/Warnings: No Reader Pronouns, Boruto Doesn't Exist, No Mentions of Children/Adoption
Completed versions of these headcanons will be linked on the character's name.
𓆃 Choji
THE BEST COOK ON THIS LIST NO ONE CAN COMPARE
Loves bonding over cooking and baking— whatever you like! If there's anything you're ever craving, Choji is taking to the kitchen to make you a gourmet meal as good as any professional chef!
Prime rib, lamb, tartare, croissants, macarons, soups! It doesn't matter your allergies or preferences, Choji can and will make you any food your heart desires.
Offers excellent cuddles. 11/10 squishy and soft.
Is very understanding, a fantastic listener, and naturally positive.
Never lets the romance l die, and after a hard day at work, will feed you ice cream while you rant about your day.
𓆃 Hinata
Traditional wife who has always wanted to be a traditional wife since she was a kid.
Content with cooking, doing laundry, and other domestic work.
Although, because of the society and the way she was brought up, she might feel insecure transitioning out of shinobi life.
While being made to feel weak isn't something Hinata is a stranger to, she is sensitive to comments from others about her domestic life.
Be sure to give her lot of reassurance and validate her work around the house.
𓆃 Ino
Also wanted to be a wife growing up, but the stay-at-home life is clearly not for her.
She'll try it for a period of time after your wedding or union, but she's far too restless for cooking and cleaning.
You supposed that she thought it would be relaxing and aesthetic, but if anything, she's getting frustrated and throwing the potato across the kitchen as soon as it slips out of her hand.
Ino will eventually find important work to do, come home to complain about it over dinner, and buy you something nice in a half-brag about how much more money she's making.
This is, of course, not to say she's bad at housework or doesn't do her share. She's perfectly good at domestic work and does the bulk of it, but the moment you expect it from her is the moment she stops.
𓆃 Kiba
A slob who, if allowed, will live in heaps of trash.
For the bulk of his 20s, he'll be super unsure of the whole settling down thing. You could make a whole bingo chart out of the cliche bachelor lines he spouts.
I'm not really a marriage kinda guy. I don't wanna tie myself down to a ball and chain. I just wanna meet people. I'm looking for someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously. Nah, I'm not looking for a relationship.
That is... until one day he wakes up and desperately wants a family of his own. To an extreme extent. Like his expectations are absolutely insane.
As a husband, you'll need to reevaluate those and have a nice long chat because at the beginning of your relationship he will certainly not be pulling his weight.
𓆃 Lee
Sweet, clingy, loving and sincere man.
Ah, you are the sun, the moon, and the world to Lee. He is constantly thinking of or doing the sweetest possible thing he possibly could for you at any given hour of the day.
Is his execution great? You'd give it a 50/50. Does he ever take a break? NO.
Whether it's breakfast in bed or going on a grocery run to get it off your plate, you're sure to have to put out one fire and learn how to use 20 carrots in your meal prep for the week.
He really tries his best, he just gets a little excited.
𓆃 Naruto
Another slob, although well intended.
Naruto never had a formal family growing up, and so he has little ideas of what's expected.
Much of his idea of what a partnership should be comes from media or stupid things that Shikamaru probably told him on the playground growing up, so you'll have to work together as a team to set expectations.
A lot of what he does for you is in his language (you have to learn that him making you both ramen cups is indeed a romantic gesture for him), but he loves exploring things that you like!
Naruto explores your likes and hobbies in a very genuine and non-performative way. Sharing things you enjoy together will be the foundation of your relationship.
𓆃 Neji
You'll spend your first year of marriage focused heavily on strict boundaries, expectations, and other couples work.
The way Neji was brought up completely fractured his sense of family. Not to mention, no matter what you're like Neji will certainly have to fight with his family in a silent battle over clan politics.
Because even though the Hyuga clan has stopped certain practices, doesn't mean that everyone in the clan is in mutual agreement or share similar attitudes with each other.
This will be a marriage built on structure and meaningful confrontation. Neji is determined to break the cycles of his family to make a healthy life with you.
𓆃 Sakura
Wasn't sure if she'd end up with a partner. She really wanted it, but with everything that happened in her life, she had her doubts.
Most definitely too hard on herself. Sakura pushes herself to almost fall over you to ensure you're pleased. Whether it's housework or cooking, there's a part of her that feels the need to prove her work ethic.
It's the small things with Sakura. Even after a long day at work, she'll still bring you your favorite home for dinner, even if the place is out of the way. She'll stay up an hour later to spend time with you even if she has an early morning.
𓆃 Sasuke
An ironic mix between Naruto and Sakura.
As a kid, Sasuke 100% wanted to be a husband when he grew up. 100% wanted to have a spouse to provide for and had similar dreams that some kids often do when they think about families.
But after the Uchiha Tragedy, much of Sasuke's outlook about his future has been skewed. Any relationship will start off as rather unstable and you can almost count on Sasuke being emotionally distant
It's about how the two of you work through his baggage and his willingness to be vulnerable.
𓆃 Shikamaru
Surprisingly well-adjusted?
He knows how to do basic life skills. Pulls his weight and sometimes even does your tasks. Shikamaru is generally clean and organized.
Where's the problem? He's terrified of commitment.
Most of the relationships in the Nara clan seem to consist of passive Nara men with verbose spouses who have no issue bossing their partners around.
But at the same time, Shikamaru doesn't mind this dynamic. He wants to laze, but he's also almost seemingly afraid of dynamics that allow him to laze.
He'll be just fine around the house, just a bit dramatic if you ever ask him to do anything. He'll get over it.
𓆃 Shino
Great husband and great family to marry into.
Just overall very balanced, if not quiet. The Aburame clan is close, but respectful of each other. You'll never have to deal with nagging in-laws because Shibi has already taken you in as one of his own.
Enjoy fresh meals of produce expertly tended to from the garden.
While Shino has his more talkative side when it comes to people he's close to, he's still quiet by nature. Don't expect that to change just because you've gotten married.
The obvious con is the massive amount of insects that will constantly be around you. You're not allowed to trap them or kill them.
You will have to get used to bugs crawling on you.
𓆃 Tenten
You're always doing something crazy.
You don't think any of the other Konoha 12 ever expected that Tenten would have the most exciting marriage, but look at her now.
You're always innovating, making new things for her business, and taking spontaneous trips to check out crafting techniques.
Anything and everything you set your mind to, you support each other in. There are ten million projects scattered around your home.
You roll up to get-togethers (when they seldom happen), being the most traveled and bringing the most unique gifts.
No one knows what you're going to be up to next.
Thank you to all who liked, reblogged, followed, and supported. Your support means so much and is greatly appreciated.
Notes: I apparently had a lot more opinions on all of these characters than I expected. When I make multi-character posts, I like to keep each section sort of short, so if you are interested in more in-depth hcs, tap the underlined name or visit my blog for more.
Sakura, Lee, Choji, Tenten and Sasuke are done at the current moment.

Brother, I'm here.
-- Kurokawa Izana x little sister reader
🖤 — Tokyo Revengers
📝 — implication of domestic abuse, hurt/comfort, FLUFF (fawking finally), thinking of murder (its valid i swear), your relationship with everyone is platonic!, not proofread
:a/n — guys, i love the kurokawa siblings /sighs fondly (wc: 2.8k)
— PT. 1 / PT. 2/PT.3/PT.4/PT.5
Tumblr media
You woke up to another day where you’re being wrapped by warm arms and blankets. It never fails to put a small smile on you as you register. It's just your brother being clingy again.
When he first took you to his home and you woke up from exhaustion, tears and apologies were thrown to each other as you talked about things that are long overdue. Tears mostly belonging to you and apologies from him.
Despite wanting to prepare food for the both of you, your brother insisted on making meals and was just happy to let you watch because he’s right in the fact that you don’t know anything about Japanese cuisine.
Nevertheless, he made you promise him that you’ll cook him Filipino cuisine in the near future. For now, he’s like an excited kid about to show his parents something as he insisted on cooking homemade meals for you.
Today, you were promised to meet some of his close friends because he wanted you to interact with another being despite his unsurprisingly growing protectiveness over you.
So far, the only people who had the privilege to visit and see you were Kakucho, Mikey and Emma, albeit hesitantly because they didn’t know how you’ll react after what happened, Draken, the gentle almost bald boy, Takemichi and his girlfriend, Hinata.
You were curious about the tall braided man and the man who was in a ponytail and inquired about them to your brother but you saw how he frowned, clearly contemplating something before sighing and telling you that he’ll introduce them to you soon.
“Kuya, kuya.” you call out to his sleeping form, grinning when he grunted. “Kuya.” you call out again and just like any other day, you could hear gears turning in his head as he slowly opens his eyes and looks at you with slightly wide eyes.
It was as if he’s still not believing that you’re real and that he indeed has a blood-related family.
“Good morning! You promised me today that you’ll introduce me to your friends!” you excitedly said, shaking him with your grip on his arm. He sighs, nodding. “I know, Y/N, I know. Good morning to you, too.”
You hop off the bed, stretching, already feeling happy for the day.
Your doorbell rings and before you could even take a step to answer the door, you’re being pulled behind by Izana, him smiling down at you. 
“I’ll take it.”
You know it’s because he doesn’t trust anyone beyond the safe comfort of your house until he knows who it is.
“Oh, Kakucho.” you hear him faintly before standing outside from your bedroom.
“Kuya Kaku, hello.” you softly greeted with a bow. Everyone older than you had grown accustomed to the word Kuya. “Don’t be so formal, Y/N-chan.” he says, his tone just as soft as yours as he reaches for you to ruffle your hair.
But along the action, you flinched, closing your eyes a bit and stepping back, hands coming to protect your head.
Silence surrounded you as your face paled at what you did. It was on instinct, you swear, but that’s not the problem. You just protected yourself from a man who was nothing but nice to you and they will know that about the abuse! You don’t want that!
However, instead of questions, all you got was a soft pat in the head. 
You didn’t miss the look your brother and Kuya Kaku shared, though.
Tumblr media
Izana wholeheartedly believed that your hands aren't aware of what violence is. He believed that you're just an innocent girl with her big doe eyes.
But as he watches you interact with the four heavenly kings plus Sanzu, he's hyper aware of your flinches every now and then whenever they make big gestures to accompany their stories.
Something ugly bubbles in him. Something familiar.
Rage.
He doesn't want to think about the reason behind your little actions that you're clearly trying to not act out.
He doesn't want to think about you crying helplessly as you beg the person to stop hurting you.
He doesn't want to think about the times you cried for his help.
But he knows that the truth always finds its way to shine despite being buried where the light doesn't reach. He knows he'll have a conversation with you.
Knows that he'll need to dig up painful memories for you to let it all out.
However, for now, he'll let you enjoy and let you take your time even though he'll surely drop hints for you to take and know that he wants to know everything about your life when he was still not present.
"Kuya Rin, can you tie my hair?" He hears you ask and sees the way Rindou blinks at you in confusion before pointing at himself. "Yes, you." you say, tilting your head.
Rindou looks at Ran who raises an eyebrow at him. "You don't want him to braid your hair instead?" You shake your head and laugh a little when Ran pouts.
"Kuya Ran can braid my hair next time. I want to have a matching hairstyle with Kuya Rin today." 
At that moment, the Haitani brothers shared the same sentiment.
"Should we snatch this little sister from Izana and make her our little sister instead?" (fondly)
But one feeling of Izana's murderous gaze on them was enough to throw the thought away. Not completely off the table, though.
"All right, come here." 
Despite your brother's hesitance, one that you don't understand why, to let you meet the Haitani brothers, he's happy to know that you're enjoying their presence.
Aside from being instantly comfortable with Kakucho, the Haitani brothers' presence was enough to make you feel comfortable, too. Maybe it's because Ran knows how to deal with younger kids but he got close with you rather quickly.
As for Rindou, he was afraid that you'll fear him because he doesn't know how to be expressive but you didn't hesitate calling him Kuya and smiling at him. 
If Ran is kind to you, you were so sure that Rindou will be kind, too, and you were right.
The others were big and looked strong but they all smiled softly at you albeit awkwardly when Izana introduced them. 
However, the masked person, Sanzu, hasn't spoken a word towards you and you think that he's not comfortable around your presence.
You slowly made your way towards Izana and tugs on his arm, interrupting his conversation with Kakucho and Shion.
"What is it? Are you hungry? Tired?" you shook your head with a smile. "Does that person ever talk?" you whispered to him after pointing at Sanzu. "I want to talk to him but he might not be comfortable interacting with others…"
Izana looks at Sanzu who's talking with Mucho and hums. It's not like he doesn't trust Sanzu but the guy only talks to Mucho and he's afraid he'll ignore you and hurt your feelings by doing so.
"Why don't you try talking to him?" he suggests, watching you purse your lips before nodding with a soft okay.
He doesn't get back to talking to Kakucho and Shion, opting to watch you make your way towards the long-haired boy.
"You're Kuya Haru, right?" you softly asked. You watch as Sanzu looks at you, glancing at Mucho for a bit before nodding. "You need something?" he asks, making you smile and you could see the confusion in his furrowed eyebrows.
"I'm sorry, it's just, it's my first time hearing you talk so I'm happy, I guess." you ranted, sitting besides him, eyes practically shining at him.
He gulps. It's been a while since he interacted with someone else lest a girl younger than him. You reminded him of Senju, for some reason.
"Your hair looks so healthy." you absentmindedly said, racking your gaze on his hair. "Thank you? Yours look fine." he says with a nod.
"Hey, Kuya Haru, I'm sorry if I'm being nosy but why do you wear a mask?" the question was whispered as if it's just meant for him to hear. 
Maybe it's because of that fact that he's aware of your efforts for your brother. Maybe it's because he also notices your subtle flinches whenever someone raises their hand.
But Sanzu found himself a little comfortable around you. Maybe he could let loose and trust you despite knowing your existence just days ago.
"I have scars." he says, the word 'ugly' wanting to bubble its way out of his mouth to accompany the word 'scars' but he stops them, popping said bubbles. He doesn't need you to know about his insecurities.
"Oh." he hears you say while nodding. "I have scars, too." you whisper to him and he knows that it's just a secret between you and him.
For now.
"Can I see them?" you gesture towards his face, smiling softly even though you're biting the inside of your cheek, afraid that you're stepping over a line.
However, Sanzu hooks his fingers on his mask and pulls it down for you to see.
You stare at two diamonds staring back at you that you didn't notice seconds had passed and your silence made Sanzu fidgety, opting to put his mask back on which pulled you out of your trance.
"I'm-I'm sorry for staring and I know this might sound insensitive or-or something along the line but they're so…mesmerising. You look so cool with them, Kuya." 
Your voice was laced with genuine admiration that Sanzu doesn't know what to do with it. "Aren't they…scary?" he asked after a few seconds of silence. You blinked rapidly at him, frowning.
"In what way? They're diamonds! They're treasures! Treasures aren't scary." you pout, "they're beautiful." you added, seemingly so full of positive things at how your perspective of things is different from his.
Your brother who's observing you smiles at your pout, thinking about how you're still just a child. With a sigh, he gets back to his conversation with the others and lets you be.
Meanwhile, your words echo in Sanzu's mind. 
"They're treasures. They're beautiful."
Never in his life did he think that way about his scars but your child-like innocence and your view about things was enough to calm his fear.
Why was he even feeling fear at the thought of you finding his scars ugly? At the thought of you being scared of him after seeing them?
Maybe it's because he, too, is longing for familial love. For acceptance from someone blood-related. And despite you not being one, you managed to give him what he was longing for.
Izana is lucky, he thinks. He has a little sister who did her everything just to meet him. A little sister so full of love despite the things that happened to her these past days.
While he had siblings; an older brother and a little sister who blamed him for every mistake and who was the cause of mistakes, respectively.
"Y/N, we're going." you hear your brother say and you nod, standing up from where you are beside Sanzu. "Thank you for showing your diamonds, Kuya Haru!" you say, waving goodbye at him.
Underneath the mask, he smiles, the phantom pain of his scars dulling.
Tumblr media
"Kuya, do you know any job around here that accepts kids my age?" you questioned. You and your Kuya are currently walking through the streets with you clinging on to his arm.
"I don't and even if I do, why would I tell you?"
"Kuya, I just want to work."
"How funny." that made you pout, punching him with your free hand. "I'm serious!" you protest.
"You don't have to work, Y/N. What made you think I'll let you? Enrol in school instead." you contemplate his suggestion with how serious he sounded.
"You know what, I'll enrol you whether you like it or not." 
"Hey! I'm still thinking! And besides, I can work instead to help wi-"
"None of that." When you look down, he sighs silently and stops walking, turning his body to you as much as he can because of you clinging to his arm.
"Y/N, I am aware that you got used to working and that you want to help with finances but let me tell you that I am more than capable enough to handle it. You don't have to sacrifice your youth for the both of us, yeah?" he softly says.
"And let you sacrifice yours, instead?" you pettily asked back. He just chuckles at your tone.
"What are you talking about? If my youth meant looking after you then it's not a sacrifice. I'm your brother, your Kuya, Y/N, don't forget that."
You're not sure when you started to cry but you just became aware of it when your brother chuckles and wipes your cheeks. "Well, aren't you a crybaby?" he teases.
"Shut up, Kuya." you whine, pushing him away despite you still clinging to his arm. He just hums, smiling. He knows he won when you sigh and he felt more victorious compared to when he and his gang won a battle.

You’re not sure how it came to this. All you know is that things escalated quickly and now you’re sitting in front of your brother who’s holding your hands, calming you down with his soft tone and shushes. 
With apologies that’s not supposed to come out from his mouth because he did nothing wrong.
Again, it was just instinct.
The both of you were at the kitchen earlier, helping each other to cook. You briefly remember his instructions to get something from the fridge but for some reason, your hand decided to be clumsy and drop whatever you were holding. 
Fear immediately made its way to you as you looked at your brother with pure horror in your eyes, his image becoming that of your mother, your memories playing with you. The next thing you know, you’re sitting on the ground, crying and shaking your head, apologies nonstop coming out of your mouth as you slink away from Izana.
His voice went static in your brain as you closed your eyes when he walked closely without hesitation and all of the sudden, you’re getting lifted up for a few seconds before you feel the soft mattress underneath you. Your trembling hands are now being cradled by rough yet soft ones.
“Shh, it’s okay, you’re okay, bubs.” you hear him saying, thumb caressing the back of your hands. “Breathe with me, please. You’re doing great.” your breath stutters as you try to breathe with him but his encouragement did its wonders to help you calm down.
With your vision now clear, you realise it’s not your stepmother in front of you but your brother who’s looking at you with worry and love.
Without hesitation, you lunged yourself at him, hugging him tightly as you sob in his chest quietly. He lets you wet his clothes with your tears and snot, reassurance falling from his lips like waterfalls; nonstop.
After a while, you stop and comfortable silence drapes its own on the both of you. “Take your time. We can talk about it like this.” you knew it’s him softly demanding you to tell him about everything. Days have passed with you flinching now and then and he’s nothing but patient with you. 
With a shaky breath, you start your story.
Izana sat there with you in his arms, closing his eyes now and then to calm himself from the rage bubbling in him. He wants to go to the Philippines and commit another murder but he has you now and he doesn’t want you to be alone once again.
When you finish, he squeezes you and kisses the crown of your head. “You did so great holding on. Thank you for holding on. As selfish as it sounds, I’m happy you endured all of that and looked for me.” he sounded like he’s about to cry but you didn’t look at him to confirm.
“Kuya became my purpose and reason for living after I heard that you exist…” you confess. He was rendered speechless. While he was busy planning to take away someone’s purpose and reason, someone’s sanity and light, you were out there making him your raison d'etre.
Indeed, he’s too lucky and never in his life did he felt so grateful to the world for giving him this life other than this moment.
He knows you still have a long way to get over your traumas but he promises that he’ll be there along the way, holding you tight against the safety of his arms. 
He had been a big brother to people who were not his real siblings. But right now, he’s a big brother once again. This time, to a blood-related sister.
More importantly, he’s your big brother.
He could never ask for more.
The door to his apartment opens, causing Izana to whip his head in its direction. A smile made its way to his lips, ignoring his friends' greeting to you as he looked at you fondly. You were smiling widely back at him with all your glory, your school uniform adoring you as he waits patiently for the phrase he’s always looking forward to hear,
“Kuya, I’m here!”
A/N: I ain't putting "the end" because i'm sure i'll still add headcanons for this but at the same time, this is kinda the "ending" of this series! thank you so much for reading :'>

Summary: Where he falls first, but you fall harder
Tumblr media
Komaeda hates his talent.
It's really nothing compared to the talents of the other ultimates. If anything, his talent wasn't even within his control. He wasn't able to produce music like Ibuki or finish a game like Chiaki. He wasn't the ultimate hope like Hinata was. He couldn't control his talent. That included his soulmate.
The dull colors of a grey sky aren't anything exciting. They're dead, and they often remind him of the rainy sky. Those who have found their soulmate tell him that the sky is grey when it rains. There's nothing too pretty about it. He can see colors. That's it. It's not too surprising, but he just wondered when he would meet his soulmate. The colors of his eyes are pretty. The green of his eye is gentle. He has one in his color, and the other eye another. It's a pretty color. He hopes his soulmate likes the pale green of his eyes. It was a shame they were destined to be with someone as useless as him.
Komaeda watches other people meet their soulmates through his time at Hope's Peak. Who would his soulmate be? He hopes it's an ultimate. That would be an honor. The idea of being meant for a reserve course... he wasn't too sure about that. Well, if the universe wanted to grace a reserve course with someone from the main course as a soulmate, he supposes it's alright. Chiaki did end up with a boyfriend from the reserve course.
But then again, Hinata did end up as the ultimate hope.
To you, the pale green iris is pretty. You open your eyes each day, and you blink at the mirror. You hope your soulmate likes the color of his eye, because you adored it. Your eyes might've been a bit plain compared to his, but you still liked it. The sky is grey again, but the hue has changed a little. The grey is a lot less dreadful today. You wonder if your luck will shine on your today and it won't rain on your way to school. Well, not like it mattered. You'd still have to go either way.
Hope's Peak isn't the most ideal place to be. You'd rather be running around and dancing under the sky. It was confusing to be at a school for ultimates when they didn't even support your talent. In which world is the ultimate traveler locked up in a school? You want to skip. Ugh, you crave the pretty lakes in the Alps. You miss the blazing sun in the Sahara. You want to go cliff diving in Greece again.
You slouch into your seat in your class.
"You look dreadful as usual."
"Thanks," you turn to face your classmate. "How's your girlfriend, Matsuda-kun?"
"We're not dating."
"She seems to say otherwise." You stare out the window. "She's your soulmate, is she not?"
"She isn't." He sighs. "My eyes are still two different colors, are they not?"
"Yeah, valid," you sigh. "Do you think I'll meet him soon?"
"Stop being an idealist," he sighs. "There's no set date for it."
"I suppose," you tap the desk. "I hope I meet him soon."
The sky is a dull blue. You've heard tales that the sky brightens when you meet your soulmate. Someone said that the sky parts and the rainbow comes. It's like hitting the jackpot. You wonder if that's really the case. There's not much to talk about or think about. It's not like you can say you're not looking forward to meeting your soulmate, but it's not that exciting anymore. You wonder why.
Class is boring. 77-a is boring. You want to go out and explore. You want to sink your feet into the sand at a beach and go on a boat to nowhere. Hope's Peak had promised you freedom, yet they locked you in a building for school. Your education traveled with you, not the other way around. You hate the school. It's a symbol of confinement, something you never grew up with. Yielding rich meant nothing to hold you back, yet everything was a burden. Traveling was one way to avoid it, yet your parents forced you into the school for your future. It's rude.
You fold your arms on the table, and you rest your head on them. You're tired. It's draining, being in the same place for so long. You wonder if your soulmate will force you into staying back with them. Maybe they would. You hope they don't.
The green of the grass is a little dull to Komaeda; You find it pretty.
He thinks the green of the trees is a little dead; you think it's lively.
The lime of a popsicle is kind of ugly in his eyes, but you love it.
To you, the color green is a variety of moments in life. They're the pastures of the northern isles, the pretty pastures of Scotland. The green of the pretty forest of amazon was ethereal. The beauty behind each green item was filled with life. The bamboo forests of China, the trees of Vietnam. The world was filled with life when it came to green. They remind you that the world is green, even to the bone. People return to the earth of the ground when they pass. That's what it will be.
"I miss the grass." You blow a raspberry as the bell rings.
You're not sure if the colors really are prettier with a soulmate, but you don't really care. The gardens of Hope's Peak are enough to keep you entertained for a little. The pink and white of the garden fountain mingle, and the butterflies from the ultimate entomologist flutter around. It's pretty. It's not quite like the gardens in Beijing or the tulips of the Netherlands, but it's still pretty. You hum in satisfaction as you reach the field. No ultimate used the field since the sports players moved indoors. The ultimate botanist used the field to cultivate flowers from all over, and was kind enough to leave you some space to lie down in.
"Good afternoon, Y/n-san,"
"Ah," You sit up. "Did you need to work on the field, Shikiba-san?"
"No," He shakes his head. "Did you want to water the flowers with me?"
"Oh, yes please!" You grin. "Same as usual?"
"A little more," He hums, handing you a watering can. "It's going to be dry soon."
"Ah," You hum. "Sure."
The flowers are pretty. They remind you of the gardens of Versailles. The patterned hedges swirl around you as you sprinkle the water onto them. White, pink, purple, and yellow dance with the wind, and you grin to bow. The water flutters with you as you run through the field. Wildflowers could grow just fine, but the other flowers are tended to. You sprint down the field, dandelions flying as you run. The forest walls around the field, and you sing blissfully. It was freedom, even if it was within the school grounds.
Komaeda stumbles out of the forest, scratches decorating his face from the stray cat from earlier. He glances out the forest, the sun in the sky. A figure races through the fields, dandelion fuzz flying everywhere. Komaeda waves the seeds out of his vision, and he pauses. His eyes widen at the sight of them. The sun illuminates their skin, the most ethereal of smiles on their face. They look gorgeous. Komaeda stands there starstruck with adoration. His heart fights his chest, and he hides as they turn to look at him. He slides down the back of the tree, heart beating in his ears.
You turn around as you feel a pair of eyes, and you step through the flowers, careful to not break anything. You think you saw someone. He was so aesthetically pretty. His hair reminded you of daisies, and the look on your face resembled the look on your face when you first started traveling. You peek behind the tree you saw him disappear behind, and you blink at the male.
"Hi?"
Komaeda jumps, looking up at you slowly.
His mouth goes dry.
You're so pretty. So, so, so, pretty.
"Hm?"
Komaeda stumbles over his words, panicking. What does he even tell you? Hi, I saw you dancing in the field, and I am down bad for you? Hi, you look gorgeous? I think I love you? His heart's beating renders him deaf, and you peer at him curiously. You're so pretty. Oh, your eyes are so pretty. God, was he allowed to stare at you like that? He didn't care. You could find him creepy for all he cared. He'd relish in the brief moment where he gets to look at you. Oh, you were just like the deities he had read about. Were you lady luck smiling down at him? Maybe you were. Who knows.
"Sorry," He swallows. "I-"
"Oh!" You gasp as you finally notice the scratches on his face. "Did you end up meeting the local cat? Oh, dear." You yank him up, and he hisses. His eye burns. You don't seem to notice because you're tugging him along back to school. Komaeda's eye hurts, but it dies off as soon as the two of you reach the infirmary. Komaeda catches himself in the mirror for a moment. His eyes are green now. Both of them are green. He blinks at himself, and you pause.
"My... eyes?"
"A-ah," Komaeda stutters. "Um, I think we're soulmates? My eyes burned when you touched me."
"Ah!" You stare at him.
You expected your meeting with your soulmate to be more... fairytale-like? You can't complain though. He's pretty. Really pretty. But as far as your heart goes, he's just any other person. You don't feel... anything. It's really worrying for you. Aren't you supposed to fall in love with your soulmate at first sight? You grimace as you patch up Komaeda, and he blinks.
"You didn't fall in love at first sight, did you?" Komaeda swallows, voice shaky.
"No," You check his face for more scratches. "But I'm willing to stay as long as I need to."
Komaeda's lips frown, but his face shows no signs of anger.
"Sorry."
"Don't be," He hums. "As long as I need?"
"As long as you need." You hum gently, stepping back to stare at him. "I think that's all the scratches. What class are you?"
"77b," He stares at you.
"I'm from 77a." You beam. "I'll see you around."
True to your word, you stick around Komaeda. The two of you have lunch together out in the field, the bugs sitting in his hair, a couple of rabbits hopping around him. They seem to like him. Despite having no romantic attraction to him, you like him too. He's pretty. The people around you seem to hate his tangents about hope, but you grow used to it. In a way, it reveals a lot about him. You wonder if he knows you have a talent. No. He does. You wonder if he knows what your talent is.
He does.
To Komaeda, he loves your talent. The ultimate traveler? With such freedom? You saw everything in the world. You could easily run away from here to anywhere you'd like. You don't need to worry about a plane crash or meteor. You had no aspect of luck in your life. To you, it was all in the air. You've probably known more people than he's seen. He finds it incredible. You decided to settle down at a school and restrict yourself from your talent. He'd ask to join you, but he's worried about his luck affecting it.
"You're the luck student, right?"
"Yeah," Komaeda smiles. "It's a sad talent, isn't it?"
"No?" You tilt your head, raising a brow. "it isn't? Luck is something incredibly hard to grasp. The cycles are just like our mood, is it not? In a way, luck is just as much as of a human as anything else. Luck is not an easily talent to wield. You should be proud of it."
"But I've done more harm than good."
"I have no idea what you've done," You pick up the egg with your chopsticks. "But I'm sure you'll be compensated in some way."
"I'll just hope that you don't end up hurt from it," Komaeda trails off, staring at the field.
"Say," You close your bento box. "Komaeda-kun."
"You can call me Nagito."
"Komaeda-kun," You turn to stare at him. "Where's your lunch? I've been eating all this time, yet you haven't even held a piece of food in your hands."
"I... usually get cafeteria food."
"Is that so?" You blink at him. "Why didn't you stop me when I dragged you here? Have you not been eating on the days prior? Komaeda-kun!"
Komaeda chuckles, cheeks flushed. You're gorgeous; incredibly so. The sun that kisses your face and the sweat that trickles down your cheek. You're pretty. You seem to emit everything that a person could ever want to be, the prettiest one out there. Komaeda wants to hold you in his arms until the world decides to curse him to die. He wants to keep you in his palm, never to let you touch anything wretched again.
"Shall I start cooking for you?"
"A-ah?" His eyes widen, and he shakes his head. "It's fine! I can get canteen food-"
"But that isn't exactly ideal either, is it?" You frown. "I'll cook you some. I make my own food anyways."
True to your word, you start cooking for Komaeda. His bentos are cute. They range from clover-shaped cucumbers to pretty heart-shaped strawberries. You make sure his bentos are balanced, and he gets decent nutrition during the day. If anything, while you're painfully unaware of his treatment process, you've been helping a lot. His doctors have even pointed it out. He's thankful for you, even if you didn't fall in love with him as he did.
To you, your life falls into a steady rhythm. 
You wake up in the morning to make food for Komaeda, and he picks you up an hour before school starts to walk with you. His luck comes in the way sometimes, and he gets hit maybe once or twice. He wonders if you mind. You don't. The umbrella hanging from your wrist defects any water that flies at the two of you, and the change of uniform you have ready in your bag are just precautions. Komaeda finds it endearing that you'd do that for him. It was like you loved him back platonically.
You stare at the cut on your hand as you're struck out of your thought process. "Ah, I cut myself..."
The takoyaki is fine; none of your blood got onto it. You close the lid to the small container, and close the other as well. On the big one, you place the bear gently onto the curry, careful to not mess up his face. Glancing at it one last time, you close the container. Tucking it into Komaeda's lunchbag, you remember the cut on your finger. You open your drawer to grab a bandaid, and the door to your house rattles.
"Ah, Y/n-san?"
"Komaeda-kun! I'll be out in a second!" You call, sticking the bandaid on your finger. You finish and rush out with both your lunches. 
"Are you alright?" He takes the lunches from your hand as you slip on your shoes.
"I'm fine," You smile. "I was putting a bandaid on."
"You hurt yourself?"
"No, no!" You wave your hands. "It was an accident. I touched something sharp on accident."
Komaeda pouts, and you sigh. "It's not your fault, Komaeda-kun."
"When are you going to start calling me Nagito-kun?"
"Ah?" You blink. 
"We're soulmates," He frowns.
"When I get comfortable." You smile. "I promise."
The colors change in Komaeda's life. The green is prettier, and the brown of his uniform is a little more lively. He wonders if it was the case of falling in love. He looks forward to each morning with you, hoping that something new would happen. He prays that you would fall in love with him the way he fell in love with you. Maybe it would take ages. Maybe it would take just a grasp of your hand. He doesn't know. He'll wait as long as you need; yet his own insecurities eat away at him from the inside. 
"I don't dislike you," You bite into your own lunch. "You know?"
"How'd you..." Komaeda furrows his brows at you.
"Because you looked like you were worried," You shrug, covering your mouth to chew.
"Ah."
"You're not a nuisance, and I enjoy your company," You hum, a gentle smile on your face. "I like waking up early and making lunch for someone other than me. It reminds me of when I used to wake up to cook for my friends. We used to take turns making lunch. You provide me with enough of an adventure."
"Ah," Komaeda mumbles. "I'm sorry."
"No," You shake your head. "Don't be. How's treatment?"
"I've improved," He nods. "The doctors wanted me to thank you."
"Huh?" You pause, spoon halfway lifted. 
"Um, the lunches you've been giving me and me eating over," He scratches his cheek. "They said that it was an excellent help to my recovery."
"Oh! I'm glad," You beam. 
The two of you fall into a comfortable silence as Komaeda continues on his meal. You glance at the boy. He's pretty. The line between platonic and romantic has blurred, but you still can't tell him what he wants to hear. His habits are endearing. When he naps, he keeps a thumb over your wrist to make sure your heart doesn't stop. When you cook, he stares in the back picking out music to match the mood. When you run late in the morning, he calls in sick to school with the excuse of taking care of you. Komaeda adores you to pieces.
Just as the colors on the wheel do, he'd change and spin until he was the right shade to complete you. He'd be the color you need to complete the palette of your life; he'll be the brush to apply it. He'd become the paint to brush your vision full of vibrance. He would be anything you needed him to be. Oh, he loves you so much. He could spend eternity with you, never to change ever again. He would become what you wanted him to, and that made you scared.
What if you could never love him back?
What if you weren't enough for him? What if you could never love him back like he did you? You did so much for him, yet the idea of loving him had never once flashed past your mind. You worry about it. What if you couldn't be the one to complete him? Would he have to give to you until there was nothing left for him to give? And then what? You would give back to him insincerely? While he feared not being enough, you feared not giving enough.
"Let's play I spy," He hums. 
"So suddenly?" You blink at him.
"I spy," He hums. "Something grey."
"Hey!" You smack him lightly. "Everything's kind of grey to me."
He smiles. "Then have fun guessing something that isn't grey."
You close your lunch tin, and you glance around the field.
"Our shadows?"
"No."
"Hm," You tap your cheek. "What else is supposed to be grey..."
Komaeda grins.
You list a whole number of things in the field, and Komaeda closes his lunch tin. The clattering sound forces your eyes away from squinting to turn to the tin.
"THE LUNCH TIN!"
"Correct," Komaeda smiles, a grin on his face. "Was that fun?"
"I hate you."
"You wound me, my hope." He chuckles into his hand. 
Komaeda's rich. He owns more money than you can even begin to count. Which also means he helps you out when buying the groceries. It's domestic, you think. He follows after you with the basket and helps you carry stuff despite having no arm strength. You rush a cart over for him to rest his arm, and he rolls it after you as you pick out ingredients. 
"What do you usually put in my bentos?"
"A lot of things," You stare at the cabbage. "Did you know I put cabbage into the takoyaki?"
"You do?"
"Yeah," You check the leaves, and slide them into a bag. 
"What are we making this time?"
"A rabbit bento?" You spin to face him. "Unless you wanted the spaghetti again?"
"I'm happy with anything you make," Komaeda beams, adoration written all over his face.
"You fluster me," The tips of your ears burn red. 
"Ah, are you picky with anything?"
"No," He shakes his head. "But I don't exactly like sweets."
"Are fruits okay?"
"Yeah," He helps you reach the milk on the top. "Why the milk?"
"I thought you might want something soft since we've been eating incredibly salty things lately," You check the expiration date. Komaeda tucks a stray strand of hair behind your ear. The two of you stare at each other, unmoving, and Komaeda places a quick kiss on the corner of your lips. You flush red, and he pulls away, red to the neck. 
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry," He panics. "You can slap me! I'm so sorry-"
You stare at him, wide-eyed, face red. Komaeda freezes at your expression; you crouch, face red with embarrassment. Komaeda can't quite make out what noises are coming from your lips, but you're embarrassed beyond belief. Komaeda stands there, hand on the bottom half of his face, neck flustered, redder than the tomatoes you had picked out. The two of you stay in that position, hearts thumping, fighting your ribs.
"Hah," You stand up finally, cheeks still rosy. "I... yeah. Let's go get the meat."
"Yes," Komaeda follows after you, almost sunburnt because of how pale his skin was. The two of you head to the raw meat, and you pick out the hamburger steaks slowly. The two of you look like newlyweds from how red the two of you were, but no one stops. A couple of old grandmas chuckle at the sight of the two of you, but nothing else. The two of you check out, and the walk home is quiet.
"I'm sorry."
You stare at him, swallowing. "Don't be. I... liked it."
Komaeda barely has time to register your words before you've shut the door behind you. Steam sizzles from his head, and his face is impossibly red. You slide down your front door, cursing yourself for saying that. He'd misunderstand you. You hadn't even confirmed your own feelings yet. You want to dig yourself a hole and cry in it, never to be seen again. Your heart is screaming at you as you try and catch your breath. The butterflies in your stomach make you sick with color. Your heart is too loud for you to think properly.
Komaeda walks home, red from your slip up.
The two of you take a couple of weeks before the two of you can calm down. After that, it's back to normal. 
Though, the beating of your heart never calms down.
"Speaking of bears," Komaeda opens his lunch. "What's with the recurring bear design?"
"Matsuda-kun's friend showed me her design for a new marketable plushie," You grin. "It's been on my mind since."
"He sure is cute," He mumbles, stabbing at its red eye to take a bite. "I just don't like its red eye."
"Yeah," You mumble, breaking the omurice. "The bunny is cute, though."
"Who designed that one?"
"Chiaki-chan," You beam. "Isn't she cute? She's called Monomi."
"That's cute," Komaeda steals a bite of your food. "But not as cute as you, my hope."
You sputter, nearly choking on your food. Komaeda panics. "I'm sorry-"
"I can't tell if I'm embarrassed or flustered." You whine.
"Can I take that as a sign that you're falling in love?"
"No," You stick your tongue out at him playfully. "Keep praying for that."
"I will," Komaeda hums.
The heat of summer is replaced by the wind of fall. Quickly, the two of you change into winter uniforms to stay warm. Komaeda's health is healing, although his dementia hasn't been cured. His cancer has though. You're thankful that he's taking care of himself for you. You started accompanying him to chemo now. He comes out looking a little sick, so the two of you go for a walk when you head home. Komaeda's thankful for it. Chemo makes him feel sick.
"How long has it been?"
"A hundred thirty two days," Komaeda smiles. "Since you found me behind that tree."
You tap your chin. "That's cute."
"Is it?" Komaeda sits on the bench, patting the seat next to him. "Since January is approaching, would you like to go shrine visiting with me?"
You blink at him. 
"I'd love to!" You beam.
January comes fast. Komaeda picks you up in the morning, the two of you exchanging scarves. Komaeda's body was still weak from chemo, and you didn't want to risk getting sick. 
The January snow is pretty. The white falls in the air, and you pause to catch one on your tongue. It's cold out. Your cheeks are red from the chill, and Komaeda shivers a little from next to you. On the street, the neighborhood walls have miniature snowmen stacked up next to each other. You smile, making a small one for Komaeda, and he does the same for you. His hand's cold without gloves on, so you listen to his instructions as he tells you how to make it. He's surprisingly good at it.
"There!" You grin as you place the snowman next to his. Komaeda smiles.
"And this," You take off a glove, handing it to him. "Why'd you bring me gloves if you didn't have any?"
"Ah," He turns pink. "I... wasn't expecting to get cold."
"You're the sick one, not me," You help him wear it, and you grab his other hand. Sliding it into your pocket with the handwarmer, he flushes red.
"You spoil me, my love."
"Yeah, yeah," You don't deny his words. 
The shrine is busy with people, it being new years eve. The two of you pull for your fortunes, Komaeda getting future blessing and you receiving great blessing. Komaeda blinks at his and grins at you. He wondered what kind of blessing the future would bestow upon him. He hopes his luck doesn't negate it.
You blink at your fortune, a smile on your lips. Your blessing was Komaeda. The blessing was simple; it was meeting your soulmate. You think his blessing is something you already know. The pink on your cheeks and shared gloves spoke quite a bit. Even if you hadn't told him, you were sure that he somehow knew already. Well, maybe he didn't. Who knows.
"Shall we toss a coin?"
"Sure," He entwines his fingers with yours as he takes you to the bell.
Komaeda prays that you'd be happy in the coming year. He wants you to feel loved. He hopes he's been doing a good job with you. His classmates joke and tease him for running off as soon as the lunch bell rings, yet he doesn't think he'll feel this happy ever again without you. The way the yellow kissed your skin, and the way the green slipped between your fingers. Even though you were confined, you seemed free in that field of grass. He opens an eye to peek at you, and he smiles. You look focused.
You pray that you'll make Komaeda feel like enough. In the forest that day, even if it wasn't love, it was awe. Awe that a boy could look so pretty in the shade, even though he was scratched up all over. He looked like an angel. The way his hair was pale with pink tips, and the way his green eyes had looked up to you in love. He was so ethereal, even if you hadn't fallen for him at first sight. You pray that he'll be happy with you, even though you've made him wait so long.
The two of you ring the bell, and Komaeda grabs your hand.
"Shall we go somewhere for dinner?" He smiles. "Ms. Yukizome is hosting people at her place for new years dinner."
"Ah?" You beam. "Sure! If you want to. I actually prepared something-"
"Then we can eat at your place," Komaeda smiles. "I can tell them-"
"No, no!" You panic. "I can bring it over."
"I don't want anyone tasting your cooking," He pouts. "I like your cooking better than anyone else's."
"But isn't Teruteru-kun the ultimate chef-"
Komaeda yanks you along, and you yelp as he starts back to your place.
"I like your cooking better." He pauses when you stop walking. "Are you alright? My hope, you're completely red-"
"I'm fine," You fan your face. "It's just really hot."
"But your hands are cold-"
"It's hot," You hide your face in the scarf. 
Komaeda doesn't prod upon it further, smiling at you instead. A part of him wants to say that the red on your face is from the embarrassment of being in love; Yet, he tells himself that he knows better than to think that you'd love him back so quickly. He wonders if he could let himself do that for once. His luck hasn't acted up in a while, and he was terrified of losing you. Would it be just like with his parents? Where he lost them after being happy? He was scared.
Your house is warm from leaving the heater on, and Komaeda melts into the warmth.
"It feels good."
"Does it?" You unwrap the scarf and hang your coat on the rack. "It's going to be something simple, though."
"I don't mind," Komaeda smiles.
The moon raises her veil, opening up the stars for view. The moon taps each star on the cheek as they raise for their part of the day. The sun has set to rest. Komaeda glances out the window, wondering if he could ever be loved like the stars in the sky are. The sun adores the moon, setting each day to let the moon shine. Even if the stars in the sky adored the moon like the sun did, the moon would only ever look at them first. The sun would burn out one day, waiting for the moon, yet it stayed. It continued each cycle of the day, never once worrying about itself.
"You know," You set the food before him, joining him at the table. "The sun will never burn out for the moon."
"You saw?"
"The moon shines each night to let the sun rest and recover," You hand him a bowl. "It's the moon's way of making sure the sun knows he's taken care of. The other stars shine with the moon to keep her company and brighten the sky. You know?"
"So?"
"The moon loves the sun in her own way," You clasp your hands together. "Itadakimasu!"
Komaeda digs in as you continue talking.
"The stars are there for support," You hum. "They are the children; if you choose to look at it that way."
Komaeda glances at the stars.
"So?"
"Did you learn these tales from travelling?"
"Yes," You smile. "You learn all sorts of interesting things when you travel with the locals."
"Hm," He hums. "So the moon loves the sun?"
"Of course it does," You smile.
"Then," Komaeda leans on his palm, smiling at you. "How about my moon?"
You stare at him, a smile on your face. "If you finish the food properly, I might consider it."
Your confessions comes in the form of a late-night walk with Komaeda. It's stopped snowing, and the neighborhood is lit up by the lampposts. The two of you walk hand in hand in silence. It's comforting. The silence puts you at peace, and you smile. 
"Do you want an answer?" You turn your head to look up at him.
"Yes." Komaeda stops walking, and you hum, loosening your hand from his hold. His face falters, and you wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him in. His eyes widen as you press your lips to his. Wrapping his arms around your waist, he lets himself melt into your, body molding into yours. You pull away, out of breath, lips parted.
"When'd you know?" Komaeda's eyes shine like the stars. His lips are parted in awe under the moon, and he's squeezing your hands.
"When you kissed me, probably," You mumble, cheeks pink from embarrassment.
"How so?" Komaeda's voice shakes, eyes wide with newfound amazement.
"The colors clashed and the sky was finally clear. The blue was vibrant, and the purple alive. I could map your colors out with my heart. The tips of your hair were a dazzling pink and your hair was pale with life." You look to the side, ears burning red. "The brown of your uniform and the red on your tie were prettier than the rest. The flowers shone vibrantly, yet you seemed to stand out among them all. Maybe that's how I knew."
Komaeda's lips part in awe.
"I knew that as long as you stood in the room, my eyes wouldn't tear to something else. I was sure that the beating of my heart wasn't from being your soulmate; it was from being in love with you; and that's all I need to know to love you back." You turn back to stare at him, fiddling with your hands. "So, I love you, Nagito."
The stars cry as snow starts falling from the sky. 
"I love the gentle green of your eyes. I cherish the green of the grass we sit together in. I adore the pretty emerald you let me paint your nails. The pretty lime that I get to cut for you in the morning for you lunch. I adore the color green because of you." You cup his face, wiping the tears falling from his eyes. "Because of you, it reminds me of life. The green of your eyes are alive to me. You're prettier than any color in the world, and I would've been willing to live in grey forever if it meant I could spend it with you. I love you, Nagito."
"I love you too," Komaeda sobs into your shoulder. "I love you so so much. If the sun would have to burn out for the moon, then I'd be more than willing to die for you. If you asked me for something new or something unattainable, I'd die for you to have it. In my eyes, nothing is worth what you are."
You close your eyes, pressing your hand into his hair. 
"I love you, and the greens of the world." You mumble. "Yet, nothing could rival the green of your eyes. Even though you are pale with ailment, you are still lively with love. So, stay with me, alright?"
"For ever," He mumbles. "I shall stay with you for as long as you need me."
"And I as well."

Some people who don't ship KomaHina use as their argument that "Komaeda had problems and Hinata didn't".
Hinata clearly lacks confidence in himself. Lack of confidence is a problem, too, and it wasn't his only problem. Also, Hinata is much more complex character than you think but I don't feel like explaining it.
And, no, I'm not trying to say "you should ship KomaHina". I'm just asking you to not use arguments that are clearly contradicting the canon if you want to use canon as your argument (canon is also a good argument to ship them together for many reasons, it's not a coincidence it's the most popular ship from DR). Remember that it's valid to simply say "I don't like it" without going deeper.
PS It's ableist to say "oh, because Komaeda is sick you can't ship him with someone who isn't" or "you can't ship him at all because he's ill". Illness don't make you not worth of love or being "bad".

Tokyo revengers with a muslim friend :D
part two , tr with a muslim wife
Hey guys, I just wanted to write a quick blurb on how the tokyo rev characters would react/ or have a friend who is a muslim, sth like an exchange student. It's going to be character x fem!reader mostly. Also, I am writing this for a friend who is a muslim and she wanted me to write this because "Ramadan" => fasting season for the muslims is arriving in less than five days, so yeah, happy reading!
Its sfw, with mostly platonic things but getting a little romantig and crush like for the characters and yeah, I also Indulged Hinata and Emma cuz I love Them
Also I have never really watched tokyo revengers, so I'll try to make it into headcannons:D
Warnings: cursing, stupid boys trying to be polite and whatnot
Characters: Mikey, Draken, Takemichi, Hinata, Emma, Angry, Smiley, Mitsuya, Chifuyu, Baji
---
Scenario: You moved to Japan because your parents had better salaray here and now your are here, in a new school and with many people you don't know, and of course, you are asked about the thing around your head, why you never wear pants and just long skirts, and in over all, always vanish at a certain time - multiple times a day.
...
Mikey:
man had no idea why your hair was covered
Mikey thought that you had cancer or something to be honest
when you explained him why you were wearing it, he understood. Partly.
When you also told him about ramadan and about the fasting season, mans was not having it.
"wait does that mean that you're not allowed to eat and drink anything for a whole month?!"
he was feeling pity on you (you had to explain that you'd be fasting everyday form four in the morning to the fourth praying time around 18 o'clock and that it was actually fine
then you had to explain to him that it was actually okay and that you cherished this season because you could repent to your god and beg for forgiveness for all the "sins" you committed
like girl shut up you are too pure and precious, the most you could've done is steal a lollypop when you were eight
he didn't really make a huge deal out of anything else but just freaked out at the food part bc why would you fast a whole month??
Mans just loving food and can't understand why you'd do it even when you give him valid reasons
also doesn't understand when you sometimes look at your phone before excusing yourself quickly
thinks that you have an important meeting but you return like ten minutes later? Whenever you guys meet up with the others, and you guys are doing sth from 12 to 16 o'clock, you vanish at 1 and 15 and come back shortly
Mikey doesn't like that whole dissappearing thing and just decides to follow you one day
He finds you in the girls bathroom at first and you step out after a few minutes with a wet face and socks in your hands, going into an empty classroom
As he opens the door, he sees you standing in the room on a rectangular carpet and hands folded on top of each other on your chest while facing a specific direction
he tries to analyse what you're doing but doesn't get the hang of it
then you bow with your upper body going down with your hands on your knees and straight legs in a 90° manner, stand up, raise your hands to your heads level, and lower your whole body this time, then sitting up, and bowing down again all the while muttering something
as you were doing this movement a three more times and you were at the end where you look to your right choulder and then to your left, you fold your hands in front of you and close your eyes while muttering something
Mikey just stood there, watching you as you finished...whatever you were doing and then asked you about it.
"praying five times a day? So often? and you have to wash your hands, face, ears, hair, neck, arms and feet for that?" "Yes, to be clean for my prayer. Sorry that I didn't tell you sooner.."
Assures you that it's okay, apologizes for following you and now knows why you always dissapear, but doesn't understand what you are doing at the end of your prayer
When he asks you about it, you just go: "It's called a "dua". There, I can ask god for whatever I crave and "insha allah"(=if god wills, it will happen), I will get it. I usually pray for us all to have a bright future, my family staying wealthy and healthy, my brothers finding good wives and for all kind of the living in this world to find their way to heaven."
at that, Mikey blushed a little and his eyes lit up
you were really praying for everybody and everything to be okay
his heart started beating faster when he thought about how you were praying for him too to come to heaven
As you are talking about your religion so passionately, he can't help but wonder more.
You are also very nice to him and he never heard you swear to be honest
he also asks deep questions about if he'll ever see the gates to "Jannah" (=heaven), and you answer him that he should just pray, think about his actions and weigh them from if they are rally that important to make or if he really should do that (when beating up thugs)
he wants to try fasting too but ends up forgetting after an hour and starts eating taiyaki in front of you and when you look away with a strained smile, he remembers and freaks out, quickly stuffing the food away from your gaze while apologizing
And since you give around such a calm vibe, he doesn't have the energy to fight thugs and whatnot, just wants to stay where you are and talk
Honestly feels at the most peace with you
Draken:
He actually knew about islam and that you were a muslim when looking at your hijab and long skirt as well as your jacket or long sleeved shirts which always covered your whole body except your hands and face
didn't really think that he'd get to meet a muslim tbh, let alone get a muslim friend
since you were the new transfer student from ___, he didn't really know you and what your intentions were but you were actually looking like the most peaceful person who walked on earth
thought you looked rather cute with that sweet smile and blushed when you asked him for a pen cuz you forgot your pencil case at home one time
notices that you're not eating anything one day and offers his bento to you only to decline and telling him that you were fasting
didn't really get it so he asked about it and found out that Ramadan had started the day prior and in the time zone from march, tuesday the 21st or thursday 23rd and ending on thursday the 20th on april
was really shocked cuz why would you fast when it was getting rather hot in Japan?
when you told him your reasons, he didn't really seem satisfied with your answers but accepted it when it was your religion
also asked himself whenever you left randomly and returned in the span of 20 minutes
so he asked and you told him that you were just praying
he also didn't understand and just looked it up on his phone and then he read the story about how the humans much earlier should have actually prayed 50 or 55 times a day, but one prophet asked for god to reduce it to five times, and so, you were praying every day in the morning, noon, afternoon, evening and night
bro couldn't understand how you could do that, he can't even brush his teeth twice a day
Then he does more research about your religion and finds out that muslims shouldn't/weren't allowed to get a tattoo
he deflates at that, his heart squeezing painfully at the though of you rejecting him for the tattoo on the side of his head and his hairstyle overall
suddenly doesn't wants to have bald sides, thinks about letting his hair grow
he also starts panicking if you'll ever think about dating him in the first place
aside from his love life crisis, actually thinks it's pretty cool that you're just happily living out to your religion and develops a big crush on you
cuz like, you're actually pretty nice, sweet, calm and polite
tries to fast with you but gives up after a week
then you praise him for doing such a great job he gains courage again
only completes another week but still happy, congratulating you for fasting through the hole month
Takemichi:
Never heard of Islam, always in his own little world with spending time with toman, hanging out with his friends and trying to study
so when he sees you, bro was bamboozled
what is that? a-a hijam? Hijaaaaa? Hijab! Ah, now he got it! no he didn't
Is one of the kids who surrounds you at the start of the day and asks questions about that cloth hiding your hair and you answer with a smile
asks you various things about your religion and why you never yell when you are getting bullied or just fight them
"Because Allah will praise me for not raising my fists against those who don't know better than to start a fight."
Bro was mesmerized by those wise words and tries not to engage in fights that much
also used the excuse on some thugs and he just left them dumbfounded
one of them even cried after Takemichi quoted your words
his life just got a lot more easier from then on
one time he got called "the philosoph of Japan" for that and he just snickered to himself
occasionally invites you to hang out with toman but you only agree when Emma or Hinata or any other girl is there too
when asked why, you answered him that you were neither allowed to be alone with a bunch of guys- only with your brothers or father
and that you also didn't feel really that comfy around so many boys
from then on, always asks the girls and then you if you'd like to come sometime, also reduces his meetup with the boys from half of the toman gang to just him, mikey, Draken, smiley, angry, mitsuya, chifuyu and Baji
Hinata:
Thinks you look very pretty
like honestly, you have such a pretty smile and you are also so calm about everything
Your customised school uniform is also very cute, and your casual clothes fit your personality perfectly
you don't really wear tight stuff, more like wide shirts and skirts which don't give away your body form
she honestly doesn't even know herself if you're thin or thick, and she doesn't really care either, cuz what counts is the PERSONALITY
when you get bullied by the other girls for covering your hair and wearing "baggy", you either laugh along with them or ignore them
When she asked you why you didn't do anything against it, you simply answered: "Allah warned us to watch our mouths around snakes, otherwise you'll taste the venom and become a one yourself." (ok allah never said that I just added it for dramatic-ness)
Sis was amazed and took -just like Takemichi- your advice to heart
when she got bullied then sometimes, she just ignored the bullies like you and didn't think about their rude words
girl had an easier life from then on
also finds it cute how you are not trying to raise attantion on yourself, only engaging in conversation when another party starts it
highkey wants to protect you
is protecting you actually
Emma:
When Emma saw you for the first time, she honestly thought you were some kind of model
The way your face looked like with sweet plump lips, thick eyebrows and long eyelashes and make up kept to a minimum
and you also wore stylish clothes, despite wearing that cloth on your head and covering everything up except your face and hands
thought you were one of the most beautiful girls she had seen
wants your fashion style
and like the others, she asked about that whole religious thing and you also answered her with a smile and soft voice
sister is lowkey developing a protection sense for you but can't help but look at you like a grown up
you're just...so mature for your age that in her sentences, she sometimes let's "older sister" slip out a few times on accident
tries to act all mature too from now on but can't help but crave a few things like sweets
doesn't understand the amount of tea you drink everyday
Angry (Souya):
When he saw you, boy was so confused but also mesmerized by the amount of rizz you had
no but like when he saw you, he thought of you as very gorgeous-which you are!
poor baby boy was too shy to start talking to you, but he wanted to know why you were even wearing stuff like that.. n-not that it was bad! you look amazing! Just...why?
We can not forget that all these boys are lowkey dumb so i imagine that he might have an ounce of what your religion is, but also not more than that
luckily-or unlickily for him, because when his brother sees him trying to start a conversation with you, smiley knows that angry is nervous and most possibly developing a crush on you
so he embarrasses his brother as much as possible
aside from that, you could be complimenting his baby blue hair and he'd become a blushing mess and stuttering out a quiet "th-thank you...!", with not being able to stand eyecontact or even your gaze on him
also doesn't really get that whole fasting thing, like, are you happy that you're not eating? will you be okay to not eat at all from morning till night?
poor baby is concerned about your health :( <3
tries to participate to get a feeling on how it'd be to not eat anything for a day
boy was exhausted by lunchtime
how could you live like it was no problem???
wanted to buy himself food but stopped when he remembered that he should be fasting
his stomach growled very loudly in disagreement in class the whole day and bro was in pain
he also had sport with you, but you were only sweating lightly while he was ringing for air
stormed into the bathroom to drink water form tap, but no drinking either so he didn't drink and just sat by the sink, thirsty as hell
felt like he'd pass out
when you found him, you gave him a water bottle and ordered him to drink, scolding him when he explained that he wanted to try fasting too
"Souya, you know that I've been doing that since I was eight, and aside from the fasting month, I usually also fast monday's and thursday's."
bro was flabbergasted, cuz why would you fast voluntarily??
"It's so that I can catch up to the times I was unable to fast." What you meant by that was that when muslim girls and women are on their period, they are either unable to fast or pray, but you forgot to share that info with him out of embarrassment for even thinking about bringing it up
angry doesn't really understand but doesn't want to pry either
tries to be as polite and touch you as little as possible
lowkey wants to ask you out but doesn't know if it's okay when looking into your religious mind
Smiley (Nahoya):
Ah yes, another dummy
thought that you were just a normal girl who had some sickness
nonetheless, started becoming friends with you cuz you were really nice and sweet
bro didn't understand that whole praying thing
When you explained, he asked in the end what you were mumbling, and when you said that you were reciting "sura" verses in arabic, bro was livid
"So you can speak arabic?" "yes/ no, sadly"
gets more interested in you and your precious religion
asks you about all that tea you're consuming with a close-eyed smile, and you said that you really loved black tea (chai tea..? I have no idea how to spell that)
gave it a try and fell in love with the tea
Also tries to participate in it, but looses it the moment his stomach growls
tries the other day but also only succeeds halfway
going on a rampage on how well you were doing despite not eating anything at all
tries again for the third time but gives into the food again when he was missing three hours until he could break the fasting
mans just loving food too much
also you have his respect cuz you're like, not really bothered by the lack of food in your tummy???
Mitsuya:
Like Emma, bro is mesmerized by your beauty and thought you were a model too
likes the sweet little emboidments on your scarf and skirt, inspires him to designing similar clothes to yours for a little more diversity
asked you where you got it from and when you mentioned the shop's/company's name, bro searched it up and was having a heart attack
the places you were shopping from were having the best looking clothes he's ever seen
from elegant to pastel coloured to prideful looking hijabs, niqabs and other types of shawls
or skirts and dresses and shirts with amazing cotton quality and sweet little logos
when he talks to you, he can't help but wonder why you never really looked him in the eyes or how calm your voice was
lowkey thought you hated him
but baby for what could you hate him!?!?
When he searched on google, he found out the reason
girls should not get in touch with boys
so he was a little more than arms length away from you
somehow fell in love when with the sight of you when he saw you staying by the traffic lights while the wind blowed and your hijab and skirt were swaying beautifully with the wind
tries to get to know you even better and finds out that you love children (my friend's family has aunts with three to seven kids and she herself is a child of four)
tries to woo you by meeting up with the girls, boys, and his little sisters
his sisters fall in love with you, complimenting your headshawl and you coo and giggle at their preciousness and he falls in love with you even more when he sees you interact with them so peacefully
googles or asks into chatgbt what type of guy a muslim girl shouldn't date and he saw that muslim boys shouldn't wear tattoos or piercings, he grabbed his one piercing and the side of his head in horror
was lowkey depressed for a while
Chifuyu:
Bro was not getting it
you were a muslim? but other muslim girls don't even go that far as you to wear long clothes and a headshawl
anyways, he found it nice of you to share your notes in class and fell in love with your handwriting
it was so...well, cursive, but straight, and as if you'd have to adapt form an oriental language to the asian one
bro didn't want ot give you your notes back but remembered that he could just take a pic
one time, he saw you petting a cat and it was honestly the cutest sight he's ever seen, cuz when you stroked one cat, another came and then another one and in the end, you were surrounded by cats and every single one demanded headpats
He went over to you to pet some of the cats too and asked you about them
"Oh, it's just...I really love cats. they're very cute"
'and so are you', but he never voiced out that thought, instead opting to just pet the cats next to you
lowkey planned the wedding for you guys cuz you were just so pretty and you treated cats with such big respect
bro was mad inlove
when you were fasting, Chifuyu was concerned just like Angry and asked you if you were okay every hour
one time you were holding your head with a frown and boy was he scared
"You need something? Water? Uh- that-th-that tea you always drink?? Uhhh, want sushi!?"
You just reassured him that it was sometimes like this when you didn't feel so good and you had migraine sometimes or you didn't feel well
Baji:
he thought that muslims were terrorists, cuz he played many racist games without thinking deeper into it, like cmon he's like what, thirteen? fourteen?
When I tell you that he was just looking at you with a big frown, his fangs accentuating the downwards-turned corners of his mouth
he honestly expected some kind of ugly and scary looking guy whose face was covered up and who'd be throwing his backpack somewhere into the classroom and then running away while laughing evilly
like, baji...NO-
when he sees you, his idea of the religion does a 360°
like, how can games represent muslims in such a bad way when there was such a sweet girl with a headshawl around her head cutely introducing herself with that soft smile and calm voice???
thought ramadan was a relative of yours at first
didn't believe you when you said you'd be fasting for a whole month
bro was looking at you with suspicion written all over his face
Baji didn't really understand your religion
"so you fast to get a feeling on how the poor people must have felt like?" "Yes :D"
"Why are you washing yourself so often?" "To pray :D"
"Why aren't you eating anything?" "I'm fasting :D"
Then, a few weeks later
"What are you drinking???" "Black tea :D"
bro was concerned on a whole other level
desperately wants to know if you have a second head like that one guy in harry potter
or if you have short or long hair
like, chill, you will tell him what you're willing to spill
unlike the others, he actually fights the ones who try to bully you, but before he can land a hit, your voice echoes in an angry echo through the classroom, hallway, and his soul
He lets go of the bitch who tried to talk shit about you behind your back and it runs of like the rat it is
baji faces you with a deep frown, asking you why you stopped him, cuz he was defending you
"The one's who try to make the living of other people miserable will end up with the worst life."
Bro didn't fight anybody that day
you got my man really into thinking, huh?
anyways, tries to get on your good side because he thinks that you might not like him for getting violent, and you hate violence, but you cherished that he stood up for you
wants to know if you really are fasting or if you're secretely eating something from time ot time
bro is just suspicious like that :/
BONUS: It was the end of the fasting month and you invited the ones closest to you over at your pace for them to taste what you and your mother (/and sisters) cooked or baked. when the doorbell rang, you went over and opened it, happy to see that all your friends had made it. "Come in guys! Before the food gets cold!"
And none of the kids didn't want to be told twice. Baji and Mikey were the first ones to take of their shoes and followed after you like eager puppies, with Chifuyu and Takemichi running after them a little clumsily. Angry and Smiley went with no haste while Draken, Mityua, Emma and Hinata were wandering around your sweet home where there were no family pictures, but more like, arabic terms or big paintings of landscapes or a forest with a house or a sea in the forest.
When they all arrived in the dining room, they couldn't believe their eyes; sure, there were other kids present from your siblings' side, but there was enough for everybody.
You quickly served the table for everyone, giving them either juice, tea, water or sprite and cake, other, homecooked meals and the best of all: Dates.
"They look weird.", Baji stated. Smiley and Draken confirmed with a nod.
"Why are they so soft, yet so firm?", Chifuyu asked, while he, Angry and Takemichi inspected the weird fruit in childish wonder.
"And they are really sweet?", Mikey asked, squinting his eyes at the treat. Emma and Hinata, and even Mitsuya were giving each other uneasy glances while you just nodded eagerly.
"C'Mon guys, I also always eat sushi and whatnot with you, just give it a try!"
And so they bite in. Mikey is the first one ot moan in delight, closely followed by Baji who gave out a satisfied groan and the others also hummed their new found love for the nice fruit.
Baji and Mikey end up taking three packages with them while the others take one or two of the dates you offered. in the end, everybody got to take something to eat with them and they were all happy that they got to be your friends.
They were all glad that you introduced your religion to them, if not, they'd never have understood you and maybe thought that you might be a weirdo.
"You'll invite us next year again, right?", Mikey asked, a hopeful glimmer in his eyes to which you nodded reassuringly. "Yes, of course! You guys are my best friends!", at that, all the boys had a pained expression on their face.
Well, seems like they'll have to be more gentleman-like from now on.
---
Hey guys? How was that? I am also fasting alongside my friend and it's actually pretty fun! Sure, you might feel very hungry from time to time, but it's really worth it in the end!
Should I make a part two out of that? If yes, please tell me in the comment or via asking box for who I should write next.
Read you in the next post!

In the art of sasuke with the bottle naruto is keeping score of his beetles fighting and the page says "nasa" or NS too lol
Tumblr media
I see SA and NA. And Naruto is apparently winning.
Interesting visual language.
Not only it shows team seven dynamic pretty accurately, it is also humorous and clever.
So it's summer season and it's hot out and team seven is enjoying watermelons. Watermelon as a fruit is quite tied up in Japanese culture. It's considered quite a luxury. Watermelons are offered as gifts. Fruit is generally quite expensive in Japan. And watermelon is quite a popular summer fruit there. It's symbolic of summers. As it should be. They also grow square watermelon in Japan btw. They are always up to something, in that country. Lol.
Anyway, I digress.
Naruto is in his own world and it makes sense because the time period is pre time skip, when Naruto was generally more obtuse about his feelings for Sasuke. He is playing a Beetle match, where Naruto beetle is winning against Sasuke beetle. Naruto is on top of the world heheh, my lil sweetheart. This is basically proof that their rivalry was never rivalry in the true sense. It was always a way for Naruto to get close to Sasuke, which is something Naruto tried to repress a lot but it all came out during vote one. In war arc, Naruto doesn't even hesitate to admit Sasuke is better than him. Like it's not even a matter of concern for him. He has already seen what Sasuke is capable of, he also knows Sasuke holds contempt for Kakashi and Sakura, for valid reasons too, but he tries to keep peace. But he is not lying about Sasuke being a remarkable shinobi, he already knows Sasuke is better than Sakura or Kakashi at battles.
Tumblr media
It was never really about rivalry. And even though they both improved with a healthy competition between them, at the core of it, they are a team, a unit, the real cell 7, the main act. All Naruto wanted was to be able to talk to Sasuke, have his friendship and companionship. He didn't know any other way, he is an orphan who has always been on his own. He acts on instinct and his instinct told him that Sasuke was equally motivated to be a better warrior, just like him, and that was one platform where they could converge, they could establish contact that didn't require them to confront the more confusing feelings they felt for each other. At least for Naruto.
Sasuke of course is much more in touch with his feelings regarding Naruto, pretty much in his character, he knowingly and premeditatedly died for his beloved in land of waves arc, for love. In this art, even though Sasuke is annoyed at Naruto's obliviousness, his gaze is entirely focused on Naruto, oblivious to everyone else there. Including Sakura lol. Again very much in character. It's one of Sasuke's pet peeves, how much he is not able to resist Naruto's charm despite his obliviousness and Sasuke loathes himself for it but still cannot help it. His expression here looks like annoyance with a hint of longing. He loves Naruto and certainly tries to get his attention.
Tumblr media
In land of waves arc, he matches his pace with Naruto while blushing as Naruto is rattled and suspicious of Sasuke but all Sasuke intended was to be by his side, as it is later symbolised as well, in chapter 698, where they are holding each other's phantom hands, lying half dead side by side but smiling and happy. And their interlocked hands look like a bloody heart. Btw Sasuke had already accomplished something in the first arc itself which happened to be something Hinata wanted since day one and couldn't accomplish until her cousin had to facilitate it for her in the last arc. By dying. And even in that panel, holding Hinata's hands, Naruto looks like he just saw a ghost lol. With Sasuke, he looks finally at peace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sasuke tries to get Naruto's attention when he asks him about chakra control. Naruto is so surprised hehehe. Subtext - Why is he coming to me for help, is he up to something? Well, I am not going to give him the satisfaction. 👅.
Tumblr media
And Sasuke mentally facepalms himself.
Naruto's obliviousness needles Sasuke, he is the ultimate tsundere, PTSD ridden warrior/avenger who has steeled his heart against love, but still can't help opening up to that one idiot he adores so much but the idiot is too naive to get it. Alas. Lol. I mean there's a reason he anointed Naruto as his 'usuratonkachi' (thin hammer, a casual insult meant for slow, useless folks).
Sakura is standing at a distance, focused on Sasuke and trying to get his attention but to no avail because he is busy mentally cursing both himself and Naruto.
Sakura is practically wetting herself, pun unintended, her body language is reminiscent of Hinata's in this panel.
Tumblr media
Look at the body language of both Sakura and Hinata. Both holding their knees together, bashful, their bodies bunched up what with all the butterflies in their stomach, probably increased heart rates and resultant nervousness, you can practically see their heart eyes that are focused on their object of desire. Sakura of course is more obvious about her object of desire while Hinata is more shy. But both are in the throes of their crush, while the boys are totally, indubitably, entirely unaware of the girls' existence. Lol.
Kakashi obviously is far away from them, camouflaged, almost invisible to the eye. Not interacting with his team. Pans out. The great copy ninja, never even began to understand Sasuke, Naruto or Sakura. Mostly instinctively wrong about all of them. heh. Where you see Gai's involvement with his team, where he backs Lee without question, where he scolds Tenten when she complains about the hard training, treating her just like how he would treat a boy. Or Neji, when he is the only one to back him up after his chuunin battle with Hinata is concluded, what with her embarrassing defeat and everyone descends down to defend her.
Kakashi on the other hand thinks Sakura is not violent, who is not the bragging type, who loves Sasuke like a mature woman, who thinks Sasuke was in the wrong about everything he did including his disdain towards Sakura and his own goal of killing Itachi, who thinks Naruto and Sasuke are rivals and that's what motivated Naruto. Of course he is wrong about all of it. But that's all in his character. An emotionally inept yes man.
Finally, there was something I had noticed about Sasuke in this art but I always felt a little hesitant talking about it. Yes, the bottle in his mouth. Now if you look at it, the mouth of the bottle stops at Sasuke's lips. It doesn't seem that the neck of the bottle is that long that part of it would be inside Sasuke's mouth.
Tumblr media
You can clearly see the rim of the bottle at Sasuke's lip. Which is the right way of drinking from a bottle. But the sweat drop, the towel and his bangs collectively make it look like the neck of the bottle is totally inside his mouth and is protruding when it isn't. It's a visual trick. lol.
Kindly refrain from saying it's accidental, please don't insult your intelligence and the artists'. Kishi is not an amateur, he knows what he is doing. Very well. He has admitted Sasuke was the character he put the most effort in order to render his design and expressions right.
Tumblr media
He is very attentive to detailing and his own brand of visual approach. And it's not like this is the only suggestive art he made for Sasuke and Naruto. Heheh.
The only thing that seems out of character in this art is the plate kept under Naruto's chin that is collecting all the dripping watermelon juice. No way Naruto would use a plate for this reason. I doubt it would even occur to him. Hahaha. Maybe Sasuke kept it there, it's possible. That would be in his character.
In any case, the supposed team seven dynamic is pretty visually consistent in this art, where Sakura is kept out of the picture, so is Kakashi. Both of them quite far back in the background. So Kishi wants you to notice Naruto and Sasuke first. And the watermelon. Sasuke's expression naturally takes your eyes to Naruto again and forces you to pay more attention. And then you see the other details, like the beetle match and scoreboard. After that, you see Sakura in the background and it surprises you that she is so far at the back doing something suggestive like that. But it makes sense because when it comes to Sasuke and Naruto's relationship, that's where she stands. Far away in the back, lol. And then, you are just entirely surprised to see Kakashi is even there. Most people simply miss him. And when you do notice him, you think, well that's silly.
Sakura wants Sasuke's attention desperately but she cannot have it, it's registered only for Naruto. Heheh. While Naruto is just lost in his own fantasy of being with Sasuke while Sasuke is just frustrated at his innocence.
Bang on Kish. Once again.

*sigh* i’m imagining a world where there’s a boruto subplot where it’s revealed that the kunoichi we know and love are only pretending to be housewives/borderline civilian by day, and by night they cloak up and go fuck up some really dangerous bad guys.
i just know hinata and temari are behind it all. they overhear all kinds of talk, being who they are, including talk of threats (of varying degrees) popping up in and around the village. and maybe they’re in no position to go take on the otsutsuki by themselves, but some little ring of bandits right outside the village? that’s child’s play for them, and it would be one less thing for the village to worry about (see: maybe get their husbands home on time for dinner).
and as they get more comfortable with doing this, they slowly start to loop more of the girls in so they can take on bigger threats. they have to keep a small number so they can remain stealthy, so the cutoff is six— hinata, temari, ino, sakura, karui, tenten— and they take turns going out so they don’t draw too much attention, unless there’s a rare occasion calling for all six of their diverse talents and abilities.
and they stagger home at four in the morning and quietly tend to their wounds in the bathroom, gritting their teeth and breathing deeply and doing anything but waking up their families too soon. and they still have breakfast hot and ready two and a half hours later. (except tenten. she sleeps until nine thirty and orders take out for breakfast. her shop opens at ten a.m. for a valid reason.)

Ramblings stemming from frustration with this fandom sometimes. ( Naruto. )
I know Naruto fandom has always been a tad toxic ever since it started becoming popular and such, but something about these newer fans who are so comfortable with d3ath threats, body shaming, sa threats, and d0xxing other people for the sake of a character. Fandom discourse is truly never that serious and the fact that they’ve become so obsessed with “ratioing” or “owning” other people that they’re willing to say absolutely vile things all for what… some likes? Validation from other gross people?
And then for these people to still say they’re the “good part of the fandom” or “the sane part”. It’s almost narcissistic for lack of a better word at the moment. ( not diagnosing anyone or speaking as if I’m some sort of mental health expert. Just can’t think of another word right now because of the headache this phenomenon is causing me as it is becoming much too common. )
They have this obsession with demonizing “the other side.” To the point of making false claims, which is insane. Or maybe they actually believe them? I can’t tell. They just spread whatever makes them feel good about what they like and don’t care about the source.
This is mainly a lame annoyed rant about the Hinata fanbase which have become somehow even worse within the past few days with their weird obsession with trying to get the Boruto artist (I think he works for sp? Unsure as he says most of his art is fanart but he made a like two or three official pieces that were on the official boruto/naruto page.) fired and sending him death threats for I guess just not drawing Hinata as much as they want? Like to the point where they were literally saying she was being “oppressed and bullied” by this artists. It was insane to see in person because you really would like to believe people WOULDNT compare a character not being drawn in a way they approve of to the oppression the people of Palestine are facing but hey, I suppose it’s a competition now to see how much of a bad person you can be for the sake of a character.
Also I know this is not just an issue in the hinata fandom, although the recent need to fetishize how “Asian Hinata is compared to that white girl sakura.” Is irking me a lot more than what other fandoms have done as of recent that I’m aware of. The Sakus seem to be their usual level of delusion and crappy attitude. Which is easy to ignore for me.
Does it sound like I’m making stuff up at this point? Because as I’m writing this I’m seeing just how insane this really is. This *shouldn’t* be real. This *shouldn’t* be things people say without shame. And yet, people just throw their morals for… what, internet points? The self validation that they defended to their favorite character? Who knows.
You might not even read this, I wouldn’t blame you lol. Just me being annoyed with how comfortable people within the naruto fandom have become so comfortable with being bad people.
My only real question is have you noticed an increase of toxicity within the fandom? Do you think this behavior has gotten worse with the ending of Naruto and beginning of Boruto?
I kinda get what you mean. I remember even before the manga ended there was apparently aggressive fights between Narusaku/Naruhina shippers, like the body shaming towards the other ship's girl and so on. And SS also were aggressive. But nowadays it indeed seems worse. I'm not sure if it's because we have new big platforms? Twitter and Tiktok I mean, both have really cancerous fandom spaces.
SS/NH harass official staff all the time, as well as other parts of the fandom. And then they act like victims because some people think Sakura and Hinata are shitty characters lol. Meanwhile they treat real people like shit. I think it might be because everyone makes fun of their ships/girls all the time, because it's so easy, so they become even crazier in trying to compensate, they try to harass the staff for more content for their ship, to get back at the people who say their ships suck. Also because so many popular content creators keep making content on Naruto and Sasuke being gay and Sakura/Hinata being their beards it's also humiliating to them.
Of course, they also need to fight which girl is the best girl. Which girl is less of a single mother for example. XD
"Or maybe they actually believe them?" Considering how many SS have convinced themselves that some moments that happened between Naruto and Sasuke actually happened between Sasuke and Sakura, I can believe them being that delusional.
"Does it sound like I’m making stuff up at this point?" No because I have witnessed it myself, plenty Sakura and Hinata stans on twitter have that toxic "bad bitch" attitude that they think makes them queens or whatever, they harass people and are extremely aggressive and think female character doing the bare minimun = queen behaviour. It comes off as very childish and narcissistic. No wonder Sakura and Hinata as characters appeal to them.

MWUAH! or everyone deserves a kiss
warnings: you already know my soft draken agenda is back bitches, mentions of blood & fights,, it’s tokrev soo, mikey ice cream thief (derogatory), takemichi in desperate need of validation, angst in takemichi’s im sorry, chifuyu in a cat maid outfit (he lost a bet), use of the nickname kitty but reader says it
Tumblr media
“you’re hurt.”
“i’m fine.”
“no,” grabbing his face lightly, you pull him to eye level “what happened i thought you and mikey were just going to hang out at his place?”
draken flushed not ready to give up the details of the night. “i’m fine, it was just a little scuffle.”
“you’re covered in blood, ken.” tracing your thumb over the scrape under his eye, he shutters. “let me clean you up.” it takes less force than you thought it would to drag him to the bathroom.
jumping up on the counter, you make quick work of the dried blood and dirt matted onto his face. eventually you hit a spot that hurt a little too much and tears prick his eyes. “oh, i’m sorry kenny. i didn’t mean to hurt you.” your hand falters in its movement.
“it’s okay, i promise.”
“here.” you place a delicate kiss onto the swollen skin and draken finds himself melting under it, “better?”
“much. thank you, love.”
Tumblr media
“hey that’s my ice cream!” a semi guilty look crosses mikey’s face as he forces the spoon into his already full mouth, “no fair mikey!”
after swallowing he speaks up, “sorry!” with a giggle he takes another spoonful.
“hmph, that’s not nice manjiro.”
he catches himself stalling for a few seconds, “no! don’t call me that! you’re supposed to call me mikey, you only call me manjiro when you’re angry!” instead of replying you turn your head away and let out a small huff. “you’re mean.”
you look back at mikey, a small pout is on his face. next to his mouth are remains of the stolen ice cream and an idea pops into your head. leaning over the table, you place a kiss to the corner of his lips. he freezes but is quick you recalibrate, “you had ice cream on your face.”
“i’ll just have to steal your ice cream more then.”
Tumblr media
he was being beaten to a pulp but still takemichi wouldn’t give up. he just kept getting back up, only to be pushed down again.
“takemichi please stop.” all you could do was watch as he attempted to defend you against the older boys.
“no, i can’t.” he wiped the blood from his nose. his hair was flat against his forehead from the sweat. “need to prove i can protect you.”
the other delinquents laughed at him, kicking him in the chest again. before long they got bored and left. and in the silence of the ally way, sobs filled the air.
“i’m sorry. i’m sorry i couldn’t protect you better.” a quivering takamichi looked up at you from the ground. tears and blood ran together downwards, staining his white shirt and the concrete below.
kneeling down you take his face in your hands, “you’ve don’t enough, i’m proud of you.” sealing the words with a kiss to his head, takemichi breaks down once again. eventually he’ll be fine but for now he just wants to keep you close.
Tumblr media
he should have won. he’s pretty sure kazutora rigged it. but here chifuyu is, standing outside his pet shop wearing a maid outfit and cat ears.
stifled laughter comes from his left as he attempts to shield is face. “fuyu? what are you wearing that for?”
looking over he’s met with the faces of you, hinata, and emma. a blush covers his cheeks— he doesn’t think this could get more embarrassing. “lost a bet with kazutora.” he sulks, gesturing lightly to the ears on his head.
“well that’s not exactly how i thought this would go but whatever.” he looks down to the package in your hands, “i brought lunch, i was hoping we could eat together but if you’re busy it’s okay.”
he quickly starts to open the door before ushering you inside and towards the back, leaving the other girls to wander around the store. he throws the ears off his head as he delicately takes the neatly wrapped box from your hands. “thank you for bringing lunch.”
“of course.” the two of you start to enjoy the home cooked meal in silence. eventually you finish and chifuyu no longer has an excuse to avoid his punishment. he solemnly puts the ears back on his head before walking you to the door.
“if it makes you feel better, you look pretty cute.”he blushes again when a quick kiss is placed on his lips. “i’ll see you at home, kitty.”

Tumblr media
Team
Word Count: 762 Prompt: Cooperation Featured Characters: Takuma Momozuka & Minoru Hinata & Kaito Shinonome A/N: Okay, so I said I was going to explore other characters, but there are a couple days where I return to the main eight. This is one of those days. There is some slightly spoiler-ish territory? But in reality, this is just a kind of made up scenario of a brainstorming session my three favorite boys go through. (I say favorite as if I don't love Shuuji and Ryo to a degree too, haha.) It's been a while since I've written them or witnessed them, so I hope it's not terribly OOC. But nevertheless, I persist! @surviveweek
They needed a plan, but they couldn't agree on anything. Well. Correction. The boys couldn't agree on anything.
Aoi, Saki, and Miu had slunk away to let them all work it out. Takuma, Minoru, and Kaito stood in a triangle of sorts, three points of one shape, but all vastly different-minded. The Kemonogami stood in the spaces between them, a triangle of their own, but they hadn't weighed in on this particular discussion just yet. It seemed they had a silent agreement to let them work it out on their own. For once, Takuma did wish that Agumon at least would interject with something, anything.
Minoru sighed, his hands propped on his hips as his entire body slumped with the motion. "We're going in circles. Obviously we need to do something, but…" His expression crumpled, and he kept his eyes fixed on his feet. "I'm not sure we should be risking so much with everything's that happened."
"There's probably no other way," Kaito insisted, his arms crossed tightly across his chest. If he didn't keep his hands contained, they would start flying, and then nothing would get done. "It might be the only way we'll all get out of here."
Takuma agreed with both of them, in some sense. Yes, it was possible that fighting their way out seemed to be the only way to get things done in this world, but Minoru was right—so much had been lost already. How much more before there was nothing left? No one left? And why was it that he was caught in the middle of this? Again?
Kaito glanced down at Dracmon, who stared back at him in silence. "Do you three have anything to add?"
"You know I'm going to follow you no matter what you do, Kaito," Dracmon said simply.
"And I'll follow you, Takuma!" Agumon said, raising one of his clawed hands. Takuma couldn't ask for a better answer from his partner. It was support, and he knew he was going to need it in the coming hours, even days.
All eyes turned to Falcomon, who held up his wings. "You both have valid points. We'll need to be smart about this."
"Exactly. The smart thing to do is to face it head-on. They won't expect it, after everything." Kaito gestured vaguely, referring to the mysterious "they" that was after them.
"But what if they do? We already tried something like that, and Shuuji—" Minoru's mouth twisted, and he saw the pain flash across Kaito and Takuma's faces. What had happened to Ryo had been terrible. What happened to Shuuji… indescribable. Even if Minoru tried, it just made his stomach twist. Swallowing back the bile that wanted to creep up his throat, he continued, "Bad things have happened when we've tried this."
Kaito shook his head in exasperation. "We know better now. If we all stick together, it should be fine. Takuma?" He turned to Takuma, who had retained the same thoughtful look on his face during this entire discussion.
"You're both right," Takuma began. "We need to be careful, and we need to be smart. I do think sticking together, at least better than we have been, will help. Sitting around rarely works out for us. We usually end up doing something rash."
"What do you suggest, Takuma?" Falcomon asked, his eyes seeming particularly wise at this moment.
Takuma closed his eyes to put words to the shapeless thoughts in his head. "We make a plan. A much more thought-out plan than before. We need to be more aware that failure could happen at any moment." He paused, letting out a breath. "Overall, we need to stay together. Keep an eye on each other. Be honest with each other." Slowly, he met Minoru's gaze and then Kaito's. "Then we can make sure we take care of each other."
There was a moment of silence, of contemplation. Kaito and Minoru kept looking at him, processing his proposal. Then they looked at each other and nodded.
"Sounds good to me," Minoru said, the slump disappearing as he straightened and smiled.
Kaito's smile wasn't nearly as wide, but Takuma knew it was genuine all the same. "Yeah. Let's try it."
If this had been a team meeting, Takuma would have suggested they all put their hands in. That didn't seem applicable here, especially not with Falcomon's wings or the eyes on Dracmon's hands, but he pretended they had done it. "Then let's go tell the others."
It was the most hopeful any of the three of them had felt in a long time.

I love Goshiki so much and you all get to hear me briefly explaining his character:
Tumblr media
Goshiki is the only first-year on the starting lineup of a powerhouse school that is absolutely formidable. Imagine the pressure, being selected out of the other hundred students: not just the other first years but also the second and third years. There aren't even any other first years on the bench, he is the only first year on the court entirely. Seriously, imagine the stress he is under to perform as calmly, perfectly and logically as all his cold and unreasonable upperclassmen, who've all been to nationals many times. Not only that, he is regularly told he will be the next ace once Ushijima, one of the top three in the whole country, graduates.
Everyone expects him to live up to being the ace of a legendary team, succeeding the local "miracle boy" himself. He probably doesn't have a lot of his friends in his classes due to volleyball commitments and probably is shunned by other first years on the club out of jealousy. The only company he'd really have are his other teammates, whom he is trying so hard to impress. He doesn't want to let them down, he wants to do them proud and be worth all the effort they put into him.
Tumblr media
He is a bit loud, brazen, tries to talk big but you can see how much he looks for his upperclassmen's approval. He's making promises, he's trying to show the team that he's not cracking under the pressure, that he can brush it off too. He's challenging ushijima to prove he's fearless, to prove he's not daunted by the task everyone is expecting him to accept.
Tumblr media
Some might read that and think I'm saying he's crumbling on the inside, that this pressure is breaking him into nothing but I wouldn't say crumbling. Hell, I don't think Goshiki could ever actually crumble. I think part of him believes this sense of confidence. I would say, though, that there is a voice in the back of his head that tells him he's not enough. Everytime he messes up, it sits in the back of his mind, every point missed he feels it. He knows he's giving his all but he wants to give more.
Tumblr media
I love Goshiki Tsutomu and he is so often treated like a pet peeve of arrogance or Shiratorizawa's "baby" but think of it like this: Ushijima hates baseless confidence. He hates when someone's bark is louder than their bite, we see how he views Hinata for a start. Do you think he'd ever encourage Goshiki so honestly if he didn't have the potential to enhance Shiratorizawa?
Do you think Washijou would've even glanced at him if he wasn't something? Do you think Shirabu would set to someone who wouldn't score? Do you think anyone in the team would let him mess up and geek out if they didn't believe, deep down, he was as good as them?
Tumblr media
When my mum watched Haikyuu with me, she said she found Goshiki arrogant, annoying and immature: it infuriated me and I could never quite articulate how she has misread him so much. Maybe on the surface he seems that way but it's because it is all on the surface. He is constantly trying to seem cool, for the validation and respect of his senpais, who do not seem to understand that the praise is really what he needs.
When Hinata compliments him, Goshiki shone and he performed with flying colours. The praise was all it took for him to change his mind on a dime and play with them and, not to mention, he was the designated leader of that training camp for sure!
He was the one everyone had their eyes on and he was the most advanced - you could tell that these players respected him and I hope he knew it, I hope it gave him the confidence boost he'd been lacking for so long ever since joining Shiratorizawa.
It got slightly off track at the end but I hope you followed :') I love my boy lol

One your asks inspired this thought of out me.
Idk if Icebergs are still popular, but does a NaruHina Fic Iceberg post sound fun to you?
Basically, there's like 5 or 6 tiers (there should be a template readily available in google images) and you assign specific media (in this case, NH fics) to each tier, descending from tame tho troubling to 'stare into the abyss'-level awful. 😅
I'm just super curious now, haha. 🤪 Baiee~
I worked on this for a couple of days! Fun~
Tumblr media
uhhh click for hopefully better quality?
The order of the fics within each category sorta matters to me, but if I thought about it harder, I'd probably change things around, so the order's not that important. And in general, the categories go from NaruHina getting hurt, to NaruHina hurting others, to NaruHina hurting each other. With a few exceptions! But if someone else were to rank this, they might categorize things differently.
It's all just my feeling. As you can see. By the category titles.
Congratulations to Sessakag, Sadistic One, BlackMajjicDuchess, and DemonOfTheFridge for scaring me the most hahahahahaha 💀
Looking at this and one would think I love freaky stories lol
I read it for the curious cat to be killed.
I have all the stories linked below :)
Darkly Mysterious, Worrying 😥
“White Kunai” by @magmawrites - Rated E, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. A series of violent rapes and murders targeting long, dark haired, young women have caught the attention of the Hokage. Her plan? Use a qualified, long, dark haired kunoichi as bait. The only one that fits the criteria? Hinata.
“a home is a dream” by bluebeardsbrides - Rated M, Modern AU, One-shot. Naruto Uzumaki returns home with all the force maelstrom, three days after her husband’s disappearance and six years since she went and stumbled on Neji’s body floating in the creek downtown.
"Dark Shift" by brown phantom - Rated M, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. After a solo mission goes horribly wrong, something happens to Naruto. His mask of happiness turns dark and cruel, and he turns against the village he had sworn to protect. Can he be returned to normal before it's too late?
“Distorted Minds” by Cheating Death - Rated E for graphic violence, Canon-Divergent, Multi-chapter, Complete. Her lavender eyes slowly opened, her vision blurry and distorted for a few moments as she tried to look around. It was then that she realized that she was suspended a few inches off the ground, her wrists cuffed in cold, metal shackles that hung from the ceiling.
Disturbing, Unsettling, Cursed 😶
“Asylum AU” from “Tales of Two Ninjas” by magmawrites - Rated M, Modern AU, One-shot. What’s to say what’s real and what isn’t? The only thing that’s valid and true in all universes is their love for one another.
“Burn The House Down” by @secrettastemakerland - Rated G, Canon-Divergent, One-shot. Naruto shrugged, not really having an answer. He had tried to tell her they had bigger problems.

Weird, Shocking, & Crazy 🤪

And when he gets back from his training trip, he’s going to show her how much he cherishes her. And she is going to be with him. Whether she wants to be or not isn’t really her choice.
"Qui Laudavit" by Avelona-and-Sally - Rated M, Canon-Divergent, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. One side-effect of having a demon sealed in you is a taste for blood. Another is the ability to make living and dead alike do your bidding. Which comes in handy when your girlfriend keeps dying.

"Lost Souls" from "NaruHina Month December 2022" by @sessakag - Rated M, Canon-Divergent, One-shot. They set off on a journey that’d one day bring them back to their place of birth, and on that day, they’d enact the plan that had given them a sense of purpose.
"Ravenous" from "NaruHina Month December 2022" by sessakag - Rated E, Modern AU, One-shot. “Hinataaaa,” Naruto pouted, leaning inside the open bathroom door, “you ready yet? I’m starving!”
Explicitly Appalling 😨
“Side Effects” by Cheating Death - Rated E for smut, dub-con, & non-con, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Complete.  You can easily skip the rape and non-con without compromising the plot, the author warns you before it happens. When Naruto and Hinata decide to participate in a high-paying clinical study, they wind up signing up for much more than they bargained for.

Seriously Distressing 😰
“Powerless” by bunny-hoodlum - Rated E for a lot of things, like depictions of violence and character death. Multi-chapter, Incomplete. His family’s past can’t be taken at face-value, and it comes clawing back to hurt him in ways that are out of his control.  DELETED FIC.
“Listen To Me” by SullyR - Rated E and includes domestic abuse & non-con, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. Hinata is terrified out of her mind. She has no choice but to listen to him or else he gets physical, and by physical, she means fast!
“Nightmare” from “Nice Legs, Daisy Dukes” by Star-Child-Yeci - Rated M, Canon-Divergent AU, One-shot. “Why do you got that in your hand, huh, pet?” The words slid off his tongue, and she shivered.
Chapter 6 from “Naruhina Oneshots” by @powerful-niya - Rated E, College AU, One-shot. A new college student finally enrolls into her new school, with the help of a handsome blonde male. He helps her and cares for her which she appreciates very much. But bad rumors about him break out and eventually reaches the midnight blue-haired woman making her feel skeptical about their friendship. But cutting ties is hard, especially with a guy who already has you, under his boot.
Wtf Horrifying 😱
“Monster” by Sessakag - Rated E, Canon-Divergent, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. Naruto, a celebrated war hero, finds himself, once again at the forefront of the fight, but which side is he on this time? Love. Tragedy. Happiness. Heartache. The growing pains of becoming a man, have molded, shaped and brought forth a new Naruto Uzumaki.
“Insanity” by Sadistic One - Rated E for GRAPHIC MURDER, College AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. The smell of his cologne and slight musk was the first thing that caught Hyuga Hinata’s attention. She eventually found out that smell belonged to a young man named Uzumaki Naruto. Ever since that encounter, she couldn’t stop following him and watching his every move. She needed to know who he hanged out with, his hobbies likes and dislikes. She even transferred to his school to study him more closely. But as those months went on, she discovered Naruto was not who he portrayed to be to his peers, but a cold-blooded murderer. Is this enough to put a stop to Hinata’s obsession or will it draw her closer to her own insanity?
“Breeding Season” by BlackMajjicDuchess - Rated E and has rape/non-con, Canon-Divergent, Multi-chapter, Complete. Completely out of pattern, Kyuubi leaks free and causes terrible destruction that Naruto cannot suppress. There is a solution, but it comes at a terrible price.
“Honeymoon” by DemonOfTheFridge - Rated E and has rape/non-con, Canon-Divergent, Multi-chapter, Complete. Naruto always left on a secret mission once a year for a whole month. A curious Hinata finally had enough and followed him to an underground house. A house she finds herself trapped in, with a dark Naruto. Curiosity Killed the Cat.
This was so entertaining! If anyone agrees or would order things differently, let me know~

Can I ask, who are your top favorite romantic couples (can be canon or non canon) of all time from any media? Why you love them? Thx :D
here i go with another grand list that i was very happy to write! i’m in love with these asks, really. i’ll mention all of them, but at first i was in doubt if i could include one that isn’t ‘canon’, but rather rpf. either way, i added bonus couples for good reasoning! let’s go.
Tumblr media
1. wangxian (lan wangji x wei wuxian), from mo dao zu shi — they are THE moment, they are THE couple, they are THE goals. who ever could have imagined someone would come up and write a troublemaker who falls into demonic arts and gets reincarnated to fight together with a sucker-for-rules expressionless man and make it work? they fit into any au as well, this fandom rocks. my lovely cultivators!
Tumblr media
2. kagehina (kageyama tobio x hinata shouyou), from haikyuu!! — i dont even play volleyball. i dont even like sports! why do i love this anime and this duo specifically so much? they are so passionate about their hobbies, the rivalry and frenemy relationship? the POTENTIAL. the STORY they have. the "someone better will come and find you" promise. sheer beauty. they are silly and fresh and cute and i dont think i'll ever get tired of it.
Tumblr media
3. yizhan (wang yibo x xiao zhan), from the untamed cast rpf — i know all the problematics about writing real person fiction. i KNOW, okay?? but people, let me like them and support them in peace?? 😔 i have so much love for these men, and its overall hella fun following their life unfold, even if they are not working together anymore. nonetheless, they are my dose of serotonin when i need it.
Tumblr media
4. daiharu (kambe daisuke x katou haru), from fugou keiji: balance unlimited — i will not scream for a seson 2 here. i will scream for more FICS of them here! there ain't enough! its not even about the 'sugar daddy' appeal, its more about the 'partners in (solving) crime' appeal. oh and also the 'i hate you you arrogant prick but i WILL do anything for you' part. everything and every detail of this show.... seriously though: gold.
Tumblr media
5. hilson (gregory house x james wilson), from house m.d — oh, my sweet stupid and repressed doctors, i would do unspeakable things for you. wilson has been through every hard moment of house's life. you can name them, he's been there. through every ridiculous situation of his too. it is overwhelming, honestly. the ending couldn't have been more reasonable and fitting for them, in my opinion.
Tumblr media
6. hannigram (hannibal lecter x will graham), from hannibal — this gif alone of them with scratches and smiling conspiratorily to each other sums up their entire dynamic. they're toxic and no one's doing it like them. like, yeah, no shit, who would even dare, right? murder husbands can do anything and eat the rude as much as they want, i will be sipping on my drink and watching intently. (man truly looked at this detective he framed for murder and said he would remember their moment together forever??? just dont throw him in jail then???)
Tumblr media
7. shiguang (lu guang x cheng xiaoshi), from link click — these pretty boys traveling through time invented the concept of yearning, and i will not explain more to not give season 2 spoilers. i fell in love with them as soon as i saw the first shot of the anime. it doesnt help that they have the same dynamic as wangxian, too. cheng xiaoshi, my beloved, you would never do anything to harm anyone (not purposefully) and i (as well as lu guang) worship you 🙏
Tumblr media
8. renga (hasegawa langa x kyan reki), from sk8: the infinity — let's be true tho, can they never do a sports anime without pulling up homosexuals?? not that im complaining at all. please continue, in fact. every couple in this story is valid (adam does not exist), and i love this spirited, young concept of redescovering the beauty of a hobbie. lovely, all of them, but most specially my langa and his admiration for reki. their dynamic has no complications, its just so sweet.
Tumblr media
9. moshang (mobei jun x shang qinghua), from the scum villain self-saving system — i will not share a pic of moshang official art because i find shang qinghua appearence too much childlike and annoying, meanwhile i find him much more interesting in the book and fanarts. in any case, i love this couple more than the main couple simply because our airplane-bro can make everything so hilarious. there are fics of them out there which are peak entertainment (check this one!). mobei's tsundere attitude and shang qinghua's shamelessness are a great combo.
Tumblr media
10. hualing (hua cheng x xie lian), from heaven official’s blessing — the longing is unbearable. hua cheng loves this man so much, for real. waiting 800 fucking years?? being his most devoted believer? can you believe the audacity?? my man, though he has low self-steem, does anything to protect his god. he doesnt care about any realm. he only cares for xie lian, his dear god. they are the cutest couple.
Tumblr media
bonus: aziracrow, johnlock, tododeku, victuuri, blackbonnet, mafuyama, redblue (from this is how you lose the time war).
these are my favorite ships ever! they are what i scream about alternatively, and when i say so, i'm not joking. one week i'm freaking out over new link click content and in the other one i'm reviewing house m.d episodes. my life's a circle with my favorite ships in it and i ain't regretting anything.
thank you for asking, by the way! big hugs! 🤍
