Souichi x Spanish!Reader

Disclaimer: SPANISH and English Mixed

I love the idea of Souichi picking up on the Spanish words i use daily, so i decided to write a super self-indulging fic on what that might be like if we were actually dating. 

I purposely wrote his lines really weird in Spanish for 1 specific reason. 

⊛Japanese people have a tough time pronouncing L’s because its not in their vocabulary! Instead all L’s are pronounced as R’s! ⊛

I wrote this super fast after class, so im sure there's a lot of misspells. probs both in english and spanish lol. 

I also had a tough time trying to write in a way that showed that Souichi was unfamiliar with Spanish. But i tried my best. Hope its understandable. 

(btw the Spanish used is specifically from latin american slang, so i apologize if it means something else in the Spanish you know)

Dating a foreigner is tough. That’s what Souichi parents told him when they found out you 2 were dating.

They tried to warn him that food you ate might not be his taste, or that the way the people of your country greet one another might be a bit too much intense for an antisocial like Souichi. But since you were more interested in assimilating into Souichi’s culture, you 2 never really seemed to have a problem with any of these things.  

However, truth be told, during the time he’s been with you, there was one problem that never seemed to go away. The language barrier.

Although you both were able to have a normal conversation in the same language, there were times when you would switch back to your mother-tongue.

For example, whenever you would get angry and curse. Instead of using words Souichi would understand, your mind would suddenly switch back into Spanish, making you use words like ‘Coño’ or ‘Puta’.

Souichi had literally no idea what any of those words meant, but they sounded kind of funny, and since these words could be easily pronounced in Japanese, Souichi would often practice saying them in his free time.

Like when he had gotten caught mid-curse by his older brother. Instead of cursing at him in Japanese like always, he used the word ‘puta’ to confuse him. Ultimately giving Souichi a sense of pride for being able to speak in a language no one in his family understood. 

Of course, there were times when you would use clean-words from your mother tongue as well. Specially whenever you were feeling very affectionate.

Souichi quickly understood the meaning of ‘Hola’ and ‘Gracias’, but there was one phrase that he couldn’t figure out for the life of him.

‘Bebé lindo’.

Every time you 2 would meet up, you would yell this at him.

He’s asked you to explain it multiple times, but you insisted that it would be better if he didn’t understand. However, Souichi would not accept that kind of answer. If you were going to speak in a language that almost no one around you understood, then he wanted to be apart of it as well. 

That’s why he decided that today he would greet you the exact same way you did to him. This way, if it was something offensive, he would be able to tell immediately by your body language. 

Souichi listened carefully as a pair familiar sounding footsteps approached his room. As soon as the door slide open, you put your hand high up in the air and exclaimed “Hola, mi bebé lindo~!”

That was his cue.

“Ola, me bebe rindo!”

A quizzical expression formed on your face as Souichi responded back in a language other than English.

Finally piecing the puzzle together, you laughed through your nose.  

“What’s so funny?” Souichi asked, now feeling even more confused as to what that phrase might actually mean.

“You got masculine and feminine mixed up. I’m a girl, so you would need to call me ‘Linda’ not ‘Lindo’.”

“Oh, I see. So, I’m ‘me bebe rindo’ and you’re ‘me bebe rinda’”?

“Yes.” Your cheeks suddenly turned rosy-pink as you realized what he had just called you.

“I mean no! Hehe... D-Don’t call me that.” You put your arms in an X-formation, trying to express how much you didn’t want Souichi to use that phrase. 

“So, it does mean something nasty!” Souichi said with confidence. 

“No, no. It doesn’t mean anything nasty. It actually means... ‘cute’...‘baby’.” You put your face in your hands, trying to hide how embarrassed you were feeling right now. “It’s a phrase commonly used by people who are dating...”

Souichi brought his hand up to his chin. It all made sense now. If this were any other case, he wouldn’t appreciate being called something as defenseless and pathetic as a baby, but at least it was better than the other bad words he had previously predicted it might mean.

“Well, now I see why you only say in Spanish. If I were to call you ‘my cute baby’ in English, I’m pretty sure my grandpa would come back from the grave just to cringe. Haha.” A evil grin spread across Souchi’s face as he looked upon your still extremely-flushed demeanor.

“But since I do wanna try using Spanish more, from now on, I think I’ll call you ‘me bebe rinda’~.”

“Ahh!! No no no!! No nicknames!! No more Spanish!!”

Souichi laughed as covered your ears, trying your hardest to block out his half-joking utterances. Even though you were used to speaking in an affectionate way, you were still super shy when it came to receiving it back.

It seemed like this little language problem you 2 had would now become a new weapon Souichi could torture you with.

Knock Out: I like that it's a tale about nothing. caffienatedconfetti: hm caffienatedconfetti: yeah, i think you're right thenightetc: ...Nanny.  No. caffienatedconfetti: sometimes it's nice to indulge in something cute and small Starscreamapillar: That is reckless to tell children thenightetc: It really is. caffienatedconfetti: what'd she say? thenightetc: That if the mom ate the vegetables she'd be cured. caffienatedconfetti: ooooooh dear Knock Out: Someone else please watch these children. Starscreamapillar: Clearly she cannot really watch them. caffienatedconfetti: lay off the old lady starscream Starscreamapillar: Never.

Starscreamapillar: Indeed. Knock Out: "Mommy's lungs are filling up with cottage cheese because you were naughty once." Jalaperilo: *** hell knock Thebes: WHY is she the only option for babysitting! thenightetc: And now apparently Mei's run off to bring her corn, because Nanny said the corn would make her get better. caffienatedconfetti: because they're in the middle of nowhere thenightetc: Good.  Job. thenightetc: "So, your four-year-old's missing... I may have told her some.... things... anyway, it's not my fault" caffienatedconfetti: hey, she wasn't being malicious Jalaperilo: we had TB vaccines in school as a nationwide program as a kid, but we had to have a Heaf test before to see if we were immune. and i was the only one in the year group of 200 to reacted positive. Jalaperilo: i've never had tb previously, or been near someone who had, so they guessed I was a dormant carrier Jalaperilo: so i cant wait for my lungs to fill with cottage cheese thenightetc: s...so some other small child may have drowned there. Starscreamapillar: Well, it is apparently easy for them to just wander off. Knock Out: I'm sure that won't happen. And if it does, they'll offer you more substantial treatment than corn. Jalaperilo: hah Jalaperilo: and here i was already shucking a corn caffienatedconfetti: "whhhhhaaaa slow down bby" caffienatedconfetti: "im sleep" caffienatedconfetti: "oh my god dont cry" caffienatedconfetti: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR caffienatedconfetti: the catbus cometh Jalaperilo: ngl. totoro is a bit terrifying caffienatedconfetti: just a lil caffienatedconfetti: but his teeth aren't sharp so no flesh-eating there Knock Out: Unless he swallows you whole.
