I might have rambled a bit on this one haha, feel free to resend the ask if you wanted something else!

Things to Note
the name should be an indicator, but Free enjoys his freedom— he’ll be resistant to anything that restricts it.
the Shishigumi comes first; even if Free is laidback, he's still part of the gang’s inner circle.
.
.
.
Meeting Free
surprisingly enough, your relationship with Free did not begin as anything sexual.
It doesn't even begin as a friendship — it's difficult to describe a situation wherein you find a random lion in your house.
You think he was trying to rob you.
You fainted, of course.
When you awoke, you found yourself on the floor with a nasty ache in your back and a note nearby.
The words were scribbled hastily in print; “WILL VISIT AGAIN SOON”.
You filed a police report, but nothing came of it— other an officer’s promise that the station would keep an eye out for “any suspicious characters”.
The police station is blind, you concluded. Reason being, the lion returned exactly a week later.
Now, Free (as you’ve learnt is his name) just waltzes in and makes himself at home.
No matter how often you changed the locks or fortified the windows, Free found a way in.
It was almost like a game for the feline— you gave up on trying to keep him out.
Free had a nasty habit of not taking off his dirty ass shoes before he put his feet up on your white couch.
As your relationship progressed, he became more mindful of his behaviour— though, it took him a while to remember not to put his shoes all over your furniture.
.
.
.
Gifts
you grew used to the lion visiting you randomly. Sometimes, Free did not visit you empty handed.
Free gave you an expensive phone— albeit one with a cracked screen, a watch that smelled like seawater and a couch with red polka-dots to replace the one he dirtied with the grime at the bottom of his shoe.
It took you ten minutes of cleaning your “brand-new” sofa to realise that the red spots were not part of the original design.
It was definitely best not to ask Free where exactly he sourced his gifts from.
You eventually began to feel a bit poorly about receiving things from him all the time.
The first time you presented Free with a gift, he shut down.
.
.
During his visits, Free liked to make use of your bathroom. He always set his suit, tie and shoes one side while he cleaned himself (and used up all your hot water in the process).
It was inevitable that you would notice the wrinkles, and the scuff marks.
You couldn't have something so unkempt in your house. It wasn't an issue for you to do a quick spot of ironing.
Even the shoes could be made presentable— you just had to wipe them off and apply a bit of black polish.
When Free realised what you had done, he seemed to be speechless. Just when you expected to hear a “Thank you Y/N”, God quickly brought you back to reality.
“You're going to do this sort of thing from now on?” He held the suit jacket up by its sleeves, as if searching for the wrinkles he knew were no longer present.
You shrugged. “If you keep your shoes off my couch, then sure,”
.
.
You thought that your gift would encourage him to visit more often, but for a whole month, Free did not visit you.
You wondered if the police had finally caught the bastard— but, after a month, he returned as if nothing had ever happened.
After that, he no longer showered at your place.
.
.
.
Free’s Thoughts & Motivations
this ‘relationship’ was the longest one Free had ever been in.
The lion who bathed in the revelry of the Black Market now looked forward not just to bloodshed, but to movie marathons and hearing you bitch about your neighbours.
The fear of this casualty metamorphosing into something serious . . . something permanent, compelled Free to leave you alone for a while to collect his thoughts.
He only visited you because your home was a convenient place to rest before returning to the Mansion.
(The night you met him, he'd broken in to avoid a police patrol in the area.)
The presents were bribes to keep you complacent.
(Though . . . maybe he felt a bit bad about ruining your sofa.)
As much as your gesture touched him, Free wanted nothing in return.
Your gift was proof that you held some kind of affection for him.
Free returned to the Mansion feeling quite warm inside that day, but he didn't dare shower at your place again.
The affection that you held for him, no matter how miniscule, was addictive.
.
.
.
Dating
The others didn't pay much attention to it when Free casually mentioned that he had a “friend" outside of the Black Market.
The inner circle grew suspicious when he refused to elaborate further.
.
.
“It's time that we address the elephant in the room.” Dolph gave a pointed look at the only empty chair in the room.
Free’s chair.
The others around the table nodded once in solemn agreement. Then, someone raised their hand.
Dolph’s expression seemed to soften the smallest amount. “Yes, Agata?”
“Who’s going to kill him if we find out he’s planning to leave the gang? I would volunteer but my shoulder's still healing from that last gang war—”
Before the scar-faced lion could reply, Ibuki interjected. “This is Free we are discussing— he would not betray the Shishigumi in such a manner. There's no need to discuss things like that,”
He tapped a claw against the table, “In any case, we will get to the bottom of this. Tonight.”
.
.
.
A Cause For Concern
you thought that you were being paranoid.
You hoped that you weren't really being followed.
There was no mistaking it.
Everywhere you went, everytime you went outside, it was there.
A singular black car.
.
.
“Eh? What are you panicking about?” You heard Free's voice, but you didn't respond. You tossed your car keys, and they landed on the kitchen table.
You sped over to the windows. With one, great motion, you drew them, only stopping when the entire house was draped in darkness.
“There’s this black car . . . It’s been tailing me all weekend,” Though your voice was calm, your hands were shaking as you made your way back to the couch.
Free grew thoughtful, but only for the briefest of moments. He waved dismissively, and lapped one leg over the other, pulling you onto his lap with his free arm.
“Don’t worry about it. Just the Shishigumi being the Shishigumi. They won't break in or anything,”
Silence hung in the air only for half a minute, before Free added, “Probably won't, anyways,”
But, you are more focused on the s-word, rather than on what they may or may not do to your home.
“Shishigumi . . .?” The word was foreign on your tongue, but it was not entirely unfamiliar.
You didn't move off of his lap, but you gently pried off the hands that held your waist in place.
If you didn't know better, you would have sworn that Free looked just a bit . . . hurt by your actions. Still, he got the message and his hands remained at either side of himself.
You were grateful for that much.
“I didn't stutter,” The lion tsked. His hand slid over his mane. He was antsy about something, thag much you knew.
When Free next spoke, his voice was low. His chin rest atop your head, and you could easily feel the calming vibration of his throat.
“It doesn't bother you, right?”
A sigh escaped your lips. You pinched your nose. You internally debated strangling him for daring to ask something with such an obvious answer.
Of course you would mind! You felt as if you had always known Free was part of some illegal operation— but, it had never crossed your mind to assume the lion was in an actual gang!
No . . . that was a lie.
The thought had crossed your mind. You willed the thought to go away everytime it reared its ugly head.
“No, I don't mind, Free. I don't mind at all.”
.
.
.
Going Steady
Free talked things out with his colleagues— that's what he told you, at least.
The ominous black vehicle that stalked your every move disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared.
Life went back to normal, though, the visitor's list expanded by eight more lions.
Ibuki and Dolph were infrequent visitors— if they stopped by, then you knew it was on important business.
Agata often fetched your groceries, so you saw him often.
Miguel, Dope and Jinma visited infrequently, but were not as rare to see as Ibuki and Dolph.
Hino, like Agata, was a regular. He mostly crashed in your guest room— apparently, it was easier to fall asleep at your place.
Once every few months, Sabu would deliver your groceries instead of Agata. He seemed nice enough, but you found him to be intimidating as hell.
For better or for worse, Free begun spending nights at your house.
It would be wrong to call him a freeloader, though.
.
.
“There's ten grand in here . . .” You murmured to yourself. You turned the envelope over in your hands. Your name was written on the side, in Free's chickenscratch penmanship.
But, there was also a note; “10K. RENT MONEY FOR Y/N.”

Decided to draw Agata’s parents. As their names aren’t mentioned in the manga, I have named them Josef (Agata’s father) and Greta (Agata’s mother).
Both appear in Melon’s Redemption-though Josef is technically deceased and would likely only appear in flashbacks or in dreams and Greta may only appear two or three times but can she can be considered a side villain for the series.
Typing this on the ipad again so to sum it up, Josef is essentially Mufasa while Greta is Dolores Umbridge!
Melon’s Redemption and Art are (c) Me

I’d love a matchup if possible! Ive read and watched all of beastars! I’m very short (4’11) (idk my body shape or anything but Ive been told hourglass??? ) I love horror movies they have been my favorite since I was a kid! My friends call my bunny a lot or lovebun since they associate me with bunnies. I love to cosplay and I also enjoy theatre. I love the shishigumi (they are all sooo cute!) i think i have a preference for carnivores tbh! I’m a sleep snuggler and i enjoy being held! I dont really eat meat irl since it usually makes me extremely sick. I dance aswell!! I’m a manager at my job rn and sometimes I overwork myself…okay i usually overwork myself. Its been awhile since i sent in a matchup request but I hope this is enough information!!
I can do that! Since you mentioned the Shishigumi, I will make sure to include at least one of them
-Maeve
Agata
Agata would be a good match!
He likes playing games and the fact you cosplay is a bonus, since he’d really like to, but has never had the courage. If you ask, and help, he would cosplay with you. He doesn’t really understand the big deal about theater, but if you take him to a musical, he’d be much more likely to pay attention. 
Agata would binge horror movies with you, and just really enjoy movies in general. 
He’d also keep you from overworking yourself and help out at home to take stress off of you
Love that you’re smaller and like to cuddle. Agata would keep you on his lap as much as possible. 
Kai
Kai is a spicy little man. He loves theater, and while apparently acting isn’t his forte, he still loves it. He’d be so down to take you to any plays or musicals that come to town, and just info dump with you over them. He’d probably even want to get copies of your favorites and run lines together for fun. 
Kai likes horror movies once in a while, and would watch with you. He does complain about how stupid some of the decisions made in them are though. 
Kai knows you’re a hard worker, and will nag you to sit down and stop overworking yourself. It wouldn’t be outside his range to go to your job at the time you’re meant to be off with food he just picked up. It gives you an excuse to leave, since he’s waiting.
Kai is also pretty short so he likes that you’re around his level (you’re still taller than he is but that’s fine)
Jack
Jack would be a good match for you!
Jack is great at helping you from overworking yourself. If you end up staying late at your job, he’ll cook and clean so there’s less for you to do at home.
He’d also be very willing to dance with you, and while he doesn’t know a lot of dances, he’d do little ones with you at home if music is playing.
Jack is not shy about telling you how much he appreciates you, and everything you do. 
Jack isn’t big on theater, but he knows the general stuff about it, thanks to his friendship with Legoshi. He’d take you to any that come to town, and ask you a lot about them. 
He’d love watching horror movies, but couldn’t marathon them. He gets spooked. 
Shipping most to least
Kai>Jack>Agata

Chapter 163 WOOOO
alright, so totally unexpectedly, we just, pick up right from Melon’s story about his past, into some good Shishigumi goodness
idk if it’s just me, but the art is fucking really good in this chapter. I mean it usually is, but i just LOVE how everyone looks here. It’s astounding. I am gay
Seeing Agata’s backstory was nice! TBH i want to know EVERYONE’S backstory in beastars. I’d legit be interested in seeing it all (however unlikely). I like how it talks about lions having to keep up a social expectation and how much it stresses them out, and they can’t talk to anyone but other lions about it. I could draw real world parallels to shit, but doing that with Beastars always seems uncouth, since it’s also very much its own thing. You take what you get from it, and don’t try to put words in the author’s mouth (that’s how it should be with all media really. Beginner’s Guide, anyone)
Tumblr media
BRUUUGHHHHH
jesus i literally can’t fucking predict anything in this manga. This fucker is still alive. Guess i have to unmourn him now. Welcome back, king
I talked abt it with a friend and he mentioned how Gouhin appears at the end of the chapter where Dolph gets cut, so maybe he saved him? God that’d be fuckin sick. Gouhin is def being hyped up for later
Shit man, this is why i love this manga

The Sushigumi
I'm actually working on something else involving the Lion Mafia. That “something else” is named in such a way that it lowkey sounds like a cooking show. It made me think of an AU.
Be warned, there's puns below this point— and they aren't good puns, either. I am both very sorry, and not sorry at all for this.
Posts related to this AU will be tagged as “sushigumi au”.
— Psychic
.
.
.
Shishi-Cooking
in an alternate world, the “Sushigumi” are all chefs on a very successful cooking show, which is produced by Horns Network.
No seriously, this show is loved by everyone.
Carnivores love it because it's a rare example of a show that doesn't place their kind in a negative light.
Herbivores love it because the chefs are relatable and easy to grow attached to — despite all of the chefs being carnivorous lions.
Lions love it because the chefs subvert society's expectations of what a “real” lion is. The lion chefs aren't perfect— and, they don't have to be.
They can goof around, crack bad jokes, even make mistakes. Society often forgets that lions never asked to be called “kings” or “leaders”.
The cooking show is a gentle reminder of this.
While the show is generally light-hearted, it also touches on the different issues that the chefs have faced.
It isn't without controversy though— the chefs use meat substitutes that are made to taste “like the real thing”.
However, they also sometimes use meat from funeral homes, and et cetera.
This angered their herbivore viewers, and some of their carnivore viewers, who feared that the network had done a disservice towards carnivores.
After all, what message is Horns Network trying to send by normalising the use of actual meat?
Another scandal erupted when it was revealed that all of the chefs were born and raised in the Black Market, and at one point in time, may have been involved in a gang of sorts.
Everything died down after a few weeks— as was previously stated, the show is just that good.
It’s also hard to stay angry at people you've grown attached to— even if those people are on the telly.
.
.
.
The Sushigumi
when referring to the chefs collectively, people often call them the “Sushigumi”.
People also refer to the show itself by the same term, even though it's actually called “Shishi-Cooking”.
Shishi-Cooking is typically split up into 3 segments. Segments 1 and 2 are 1 hour long, with the 3rd segment being 2 hours long.
The 1st segment consists of one chef cooking.
The 2nd segment consists of two chefs cooking. They will either be working together, or working against each other in a more competitive setting.
The 3rd segment can be a free-for-all, with each of the 8 chefs competing against each other. The chefs can also be required to work together. Alternatively, they can be working in teams against each other.
Sometimes, a particular chef is given a handicap. It's a bit like Cutthroat Kitchen.
This being said, there are many variations— this is meant to encourage viewers to tune in regularly; you never know what they’ll do next!
.
.
.
Guests¹
there's been a number of guest chefs and judges on the show, including, but not limited to:
Gordon Ramsey, a well-known herbivore chef famed for his outbursts. He's always very tame on the show, though.
Wolfgang Duck, a wolf-duck hybrid. Was the cause of much intrigue when he was brought on the show.
Cat Cora, a talented feline known for being the first guest star— in addition to being the first guest chef on the show.
The network head, Louis, has been called into the studio on more than one occasion to sample some of what the Sushigumi have made. Despite being the head honcho, he always comes when called for.
¹ I am so sorry.
.
.
.
Ibuki
characterised as the “dad” chef, and will tsk at his colleagues if they swear too much around Agata.
He's popular with younger lions who see him as father-figure, animals who like “dad-bods”, as well as fathers and mothers who are trying to get into cooking.
His meals tend to be on the more simplistic side— he wants everyone to be able to cook, no matter how few ingredients they have.
Might occasionally go into an aside about education being important, and how he's grateful that he can work with those he considers to be family, and do what he loves at the same time.
Other times, he just cracks dad jokes— both accidentally and purposefully.
He invites Louis to the studio the most.
When working with the other chefs, he’s mostly paired with Dolph or Free. When competing, his most common opponents are Free (their seemingly conflicting personalities boost ratings even further) and Agata (for a older/younger dynamic).
.
.
.
Dolph
characterised as the “serious” one.
He takes great care in not only cooking, but in the presentation aspect as well.
He never uses more than he needs, and constantly makes mention of alternative ingredients and brands which can be used if one is on a budget.
As a result, he’s the favourite of amateur chefs who may not be starting out with high-end supplies.
He's gained a bit of a cult following among middle-aged animals for not being as high energy, nor as sentimental as some of the other chefs are.
Dolph is notable for taking the more inexperienced Agata under his wing. People find it quite touching how he gently corrects the other chef when he does something wrong.
He corrects, but never demeans or yells. He constantly reminds the viewers (and Agata) that making mistakes is part of the learning process.
.
.
.
Free
characterised as the “eccentric— wait, is this guy actually crazy?” one.
While everyone debates how much of Free's eccentric personality is just really good acting, they know better than to underestimate the level of creativity and skill he possesses.
He’s the reason that Shishi-Cooking is rated TV-MA; he swears often, makes crude jokes and generally says things that would make even a statue blush.
He stops completely, or tones himself way down when Agata is present, or if Ibuki has asked him to.
Free is mostly interested in how something tastes, but he likes using more unconventional ingredients.
He encourages people to give new, seemingly strange foods a try— after all, they may actually taste nice!
The studio managers also cry a little on the inside whenever Free has a segment to himself— there's always a lot to clean up after— one time, he rode his motorbike in the kitchen.
There's a running gag of Free providing mane care tips, while also complaining about how much work it is to maintain his own mane.
While older folks (lions included) may find Free to be an “improper” lion, younger viewers find it refreshing to see a lion on the television who isn't a stiff, stick-in-the-mud that's obsessed with perfection in everything.
Free is perfectly imperfect.
.
.
.
Agata
characterised as the “baby of the group”.
As the youngest chef, Agata is more attuned to trends. While it's technically beneath his skill level, he enjoys making trendy foods and drinks.
The episode where he made bubble tea is still very popular.
Newer viewers may underestimate him, but cooking is Agata’s natural talent — he lacks experience, but he more than makes up for it in other areas.
He very rarely has an entire segment to himself, and often ends up working with Dolph on his segments.
Even when competing against each other, Dolph still serves as a mentor and a father figure for Agata.
Dolph once sabotaged himself during a challenge so that Agata could have a better chance at winning.
Younger viewers find Agata's overall demeanour “cute”. Older folks seem to view Agata as a surrogate grandson, and cheer for him from within their kitchens or living rooms.
.
.
.
Miguel
characterised as the “health nut”.
He focuses primarily on protein-rich, or otherwise healthy meals.
He has a system where he accepts suggestions of healthy alternatives to unhealthy snacks or meals from viewers— it's made him quite popular.
Despite his primary focus being on healthy food, he knows that not everyone can afford it
So, like Dolph, he provides alternative ingredients and brands. However, Miguel also supplies areas which sell fresh produce cheaply.
Miguel always tries to reuse leftovers— if they aren't spoilt or rotten, why throw them away?
He has a sizable following, comprised of people trying to eat healthier, fellow health nuts and house-partners who wish their significant others were as muscular as Miguel.
He works out even while cooking— whilst waiting for something to bake, it's not uncommon for him to drop and do × amount of push-ups.
.
.
.
Dope
characterised as the “appreciative” one.
Dope wants his audience to have a deep appreciation for the recipes he uses.
He mainly uses recipes from far off places, and is able to recite several facts about them
Foreigners love him— it's so rare finding someone so dedicated. It's even rarer to find someone who properly appreciates the recipes of your forefathers.
The studio always receives one or two letters for Dope.
They are older folks happy that the recipes they grew up with are being spread to younger generations, or, they are younger animals who wanted to replicate the recipe of a departed family member but didn't know where to begin
Dope prefers to work alone, but, if he’s paired with anyone, it's usually Dolph
The former's seriousness complements the respectful approach Dope takes regarding his cooking
.
.
.
Hino
characterised as the “drop dead gorgeous” one.
Needless to say, Hino is very popular with the show’s viewers— especially with lonely housewives/househusbands/etc, young adults and teenagers.
He focuses very heavily on haute-cuisine, though he does also make simpler dishes.
Viewers debate whether he has bags under his eyes, or if it's just makeup
Hino has a slightly flirtatious, very laid-back attitude in the kitchen, and is prone to teasing the other chefs
Makes use of double entendres when cooking, but never goes overboard.
At the end of the day, he wants to be praised for his cooking skills, not just for his looks.
Like Dolph, Hino is very big on presentation. On more than one occasion, he has won challenges based on his presentation alone.
Every so often, he comes to the studio dressed casually— his casual attire signifies that he won't be making anything fancy that segment.
.
.
.
Sabu
characterised as the “quiet and skilled” one.
Whenever he has a segment all to himself, there's an orchestra, or some other live band performing behind him.
Sabu is a lion of very few words— the absurdity of having a band on set distracts the viewers from how little he talks, and the bandana he wears over his mouth.
Instead of speech, Sabu’s actions are relayed via subtitles.
On close up shots, the noise from the band is cut out, leaving only the heavenly sounds of the kitchen.
Sabu is popular with people who are into ASMR, as well as with music buffs.
At first, he was criticsed for his lack of speech, however, over time, these criticisms faded.
He's very skilled, and has the most experience out of the 8 chefs.
He prefers gourmet-style cooking, but also seems to enjoy making street foods.
He customises his bandana sometimes— it's a way for him to show support for certain movements. It's also a way for him to poke fun at his colleagues:
“Are you smarter than Free? Probably.”
“Agata is NOT up for adoption. Stop asking.” and:
“You see those idiots (and Louis)?” are among his most popular customisations.
.
.
.
Jinma
characterised as the “knowledgeable” one.
Whereas Dope is all about respecting the recipes of other cultures and species, Jinma is a bit of a culinary history expert.
He likes to explain things like why certain areas are more prone to developing a specific style, or method of cooking.
It's a bit like watching the history channel, honestly— the show makes a point of listing any references used.
His odd mane cut makes some people worry that he's another Free— that is, crazy and overtly eccentric.
However, Jinma is very comfortably himself, though, he does collaborate with Free sometimes.
With Jinma, he wants to show off his cooking prowess yes, but he also wants to encourage Shishi-Cooking’s viewers to not see a meal as only a meal, but as a portal to the days of old.
.
.
.
Memorable Moments from Shishi-Cooking
“This is poisonous— only extremely skilled chefs are allowed to prepare this dish. Some prefer to leave the poison in, but, as we’re not trying to kill anyone, we will be removing all of it.”
“Not trying to kill anyone? Speak for yourself.”
— Free, when Dolph is explaining how poisonous the blowfish they're using is.
.
.
.
“Langauge!— Agata’s here for fuck’s sake!”
— Ibuki, scolding everyone for swearing like sailors around Agata.
.
.
.
“Ibuki’s not the type to get mad. He gets disappointed. It's worse somehow.”
— Hino, discussing his co-worker during one of his segments.
.
.
.
“This is where we cry and curse the creator that's abandoned us.”
— Jinma, “joking around” after his cake burns, with less than 10 minutes on the clock.

Going off from the free dating headcanon… how about some for Miguel and Agata? >.<
I’m so happy to see another blog writing for the shishigumi, they’re finally getting the character development they deserved
I'm happy to write for the lovable bastards, though it does seem like there's only 1 or 2 other blogs that write for all of the Shishigumi.
Speaking of blogs, @couldyouspeakmyname is a very nice one ü, please check them out if you haven't already!
I had to keep the word limit in mind (especially since there's 2 characters involved here), so, if this ask wasn't what you wanted, feel free to let me know and I can try again!

General Dating Headcanons
Agata
Agata has had his fair share of partners. Society makes lions out to be good leaders, and so, many animals begin relationships with them. Agata's a darker-coloured lion, so this effect was multipled for him.
While he did have a “bad boy” phase, Agata is truly a nice person at heart.
That would have been more than enough for others to stay in a relationship with him, had he been born almost any other animal.
He was cheated on a lot by love interests who wanted to make a lion jealous, and by those who expected something . . . more passionate from a relationship with a lion.
As a result, Agata's very clingy, and mayhaps a bit bitter.
.
Miguel
Miguel's relationships tend to last 6 months to 1 year, but never much longer than that. He doesn't have much of an interest in relationships, but he's open to love if it finds him first.
Previous lovers had a tendency to sexualise him— this is something that makes Miguel very uncomfortable.
He doesn't mind dirty jokes, etc, but more intimate actions have been partially ruined for him.
.
.
.
Meeting Them
Agata
It's quite possible that you ran into him at a local community college.
I can imagine Agata taking a course there— perhaps it's related to technology?
It's also quite possible that the both of you shared the same, mandatory class.
.
.
“oh shit oh shit oh shit . . .”
A noise that was more whisper than spoken word. You don't see it, but you can almost taste the anxiety that flows over from your colleague.
Your eyes moved involuntarily over to your left, where a dark-maned lion crawled on his hands and knees, as if searching for something.
You rest your head on your hand. “Looking for something?”
A muffled, “Dropped my pen . . .”
You fished about in your pencil case, pulling out one of your spares. It wasn't nearly as favoured as your gel pens, and, it also wasn't one you would miss if someone were to steal it.
“You can borrow this one . . . just give it back.”
You had never seen someone look so grateful; the expression was genuine, which filled your body with a cosy warmth.
.
Miguel
Perhaps you met him at the gym.
Although Miguel had more than enough exercise equipment at the Mansion, he preferred to workout away from the Black Market.
It gave him the chance to organise his thoughts.
.
.
“STAY FIT”— a simple, two word long mantra and a reminder of the New Year’s resolution you wanted to keep.
In order to achieve that goal, you signed yourself up for a gym— it was only a few blocks away on foot. Since it was so close, you were always the first one there . . .
Or rather, you were always the first one there, until recently.
“You must really love working out,” You struck up pleasant conversation whenever the both of you took your breaks. There wasn't anything else to do, really.
The feline, whose mane was tied up neatly behind him, took a swig of his bottled water. “I suppose you could say that.”
It was a curt response, yes, but it was also the start of a wonderful acquaintanceship.
.
.
.
Growing Closer
Agata
over the course of several weeks, Agata racked up a fine collection of pens— all of them yours, of course.
Somehow, you didn't believe that you would get them back.
It didn't matter much though— you had more than enough to spare.
The pair of you studied together often; either on-campus or back at your place.
His notes were very neat, you noticed.
He divided his pages into three sections; one for definitions, one for summarisations of the text and one for miscellaneous notes.
When you expressed your interest, Agata is more than happy to explain the Cornell Method to you.
You were just pleased that all the pens you lent him hadn't gone to waste.
.
Miguel
you actually had to put some effort in before Miguel felt comfortable enough instigating a conversation with you.
In the beginning, you talked to yourself, more or less.
Miguel gave short, curt answers in reply.
You both took note of what subjects the other person was interested in, and then went from there.
Polite conversation made to pass the time became deep and insightful discussions.
Miguel kept a neutral expression when speaking to you, but after a while, his lips curved into a pleasant smile more and more often.
You liked his smile.

Going Steady
Agata
You didn't notice the way Agata’s hands shook until much later, when you were both reminiscing on how he had asked you out the first time.
You did notice that the lion had a few bags’ worth of stationery with him, though.
“Finally decided to return those pens you borrowed?” You were teasing of course — your friendship with him was such that you didn't care about those trivial things anymore.
.
.
“Let’s go see a movie tonight!”
You blinked once. Twice.
.
Then, you cleared your throat. “Ah . . . sure—” You turned around, intending to fetch a jacket. “I’ll just get a coat and—”
“Y-you can borrow mine!”
Thought it was several sizes too large, Agata's jacket was indeed very comfortable.
.
Miguel
It just sort of happened.
One thing led to another, really, and soon, the both of you were bouncing ideas back and forth.
.
.
“You're weird,” You snorted, playful as always. With the gentle push of a button, the treadmill belt beneath you began to move.
You thought you saw Miguel smile. He slung his towel over one of the machine's handle bars. “Maybe so, but, aren't you going to answer? It's not hard, right?”
“Well . . .” You clicked your tongue, actually thinking. “I've always wanted to go cycling at the park with someone else.”
“Are you free Thursday?”
You eyed the lion suspiciously, but nodded, “Mhm . . .”
But then, it clicked, “Oh . . .”
It really clicked, and you broke out into a wide grin, nodding up and down quickly.
.
.

Dating
Agata
he was very nervous at first, and very, very clingy.
He felt as if he had to keep impressing you, and giving you gifts just to keep you around.
You didn't think much of it at first, but you drew a line when he arranged for a limosuine to drop you off at your agreed rendezvous point.
Where did he even get the money for a limo, anyways?
You called the date off, in favour of talking it out with him.
Though a part of you wanted to let Agata have it, the more sensible part just wanted to know why.
As the both of you stood in the parking lot of the movie theater, you noticed that several pairs of eyes were on you.
You grabbed him by the hand and, after a short walk, came to a more secluded area.
You sighed, and told Agata exactly how you felt.
In turn, he explained his side of the issue.
It wasn't planned for, but you both enjoyed the impromptu heart-to-heart under the stars nonetheless.
It was enjoyed so much so, that neither of you saw the black car which drove away, its scar-faced driver satisfied that Agata could handle things from there.
.
.
Miguel
dating Miguel feels as if you're hanging out with a dear friend — which you were, in a way.
Your dates are spent cycling around the district, dominating patronising the local basketball court and just enjoying the other’s company.
And then, you slept together.
It had been late, so, you told him that he could crash at your place until daylight.
Despite your insistence that he take the bed while you slept on the sofa, Miguel was adamant that it be the other way around.
You had shrugged your shoulders, and decided not to fight him on it further.
Come morning, you had successfully moved him into your bed— he looked mad uncomfortable on the couch, anyways.
To your surprise, Miguel awoke with a start, a hand over his chest and eyes wide.
He demanded to know whether or not the both of you had done anything the previous night.
You didn't know about his . . . fear at the time, but you knew that you had royally fucked up.
You promised not to do that sort of thing again, and the rest of the morning is spent in the other's arms.

Quarantined Turf War
This is an idea I’ve had for several months now-like what if, due to a ‘certain world crises that is going on in real life’ the Turf War has to take place on a video chat? I haven’t written anything of this idea yet as I have no real plot to this one-shot, but here are some highlights I have so far:
- Ten gets hit in the head by a roll of toilet paper (thrown by one of her fellow foxes).
- Gosha is entranced by the filters/icon edits(?) and ends up having a donut with his face on it as his video icon and can’t figure out how to fix it.
- The Shishigumi are all drunk/high and Melon has to be the voice of reason (which he hates!) and I quote: “Why the flying f*ck would you do that??!!” (yelled/asked when Free comes to him with a very bizarre problem)
- On that note, Sabu and Jinma decide they want to watch a horror movie/Game of Thrones (thought up because my sister and dad have been watching that a lot lately) and Agata is too scared to watch it so he goes crying to Melon. 
quotes:
“You know how sensitve he is! Watch something else!”
“I thought you didn’t care, Boss!”
“I don’t! But Agata’s annoying whining becomes my problem! Now change the damn channel”
- On the same note, Dolph comes up with a new nicknmae for Melon! Much to his annoyance: “Mello!...Yellow Mello!...Jello Mello!...Yellow jello Mello! Mello-lo-jello-yellow-Mellomellomellomello!”
- And also, Miguel takes Hino’s enchilada-Melon has to yell: “GIVE HIM THE ENCHILADA!”
- Yahya is high voiced due to a helium tank breaking in the air vents of the police building. He later throws his laptop out the window in a fit of rage. 
- A video of Oguma dancing is found (he is either dancing to Gangman style or doing the dance from the Take on Me videos on YouTube) and Louis is both embaressed and shocked at how well his father can dance. 
- A debate as to how one could overdose on Laxitives and if one’s colon could explode if that happens (instead of dying). 
- (not as sure about this one but) Yahya’s mother somehow finds the chat and joins it to harass Yahya for never marrying or giving her grandchildren before calling Gosha a talking donut and Melon a half pizza face (or just insulting Melon and Legosi as hybrids) while Yahya’s father does something stupid in the background while naked (this would likely be why Yahya throws his laptop out the window).
- On that note, Yahya’s mother thinks Gosha and Yahya are ‘back together’-she’s fine with it, but only if they swore they’d adopt horse children (she just wants Yahya to get married and have kids, she doesn’t care who he marries or how he has kids)-uncomfortable and awkward silence follows.
- One of Legosi’s neighbor’s has a loud and very weird phone conversation outside of his door and everyone can hear it. Whatever it is, it leaves them speechless. Also, his (new) pet beetle crawls over the webcam, freaking out/startling everyone else. 
- Two of Savon’s fellow Komodo dragons get into a heated argument, causing him to intervene. It’s what they were arguing about thats baffling.
This would be a parody of the 180′s and 190′s chapters (though some characters/chapters would not appear/be mentioned in it (glaring at chapter 181 and Melon’s father) and would be, basically, be about Beastars characters in quarentine (COVID would not be mentioned in the fic-except as ‘this virus’ and the fic is not at all meant to make fun of COVID or anyone effected by it-this is just a ‘life in quarentine’ take on the Turf War).
All characters belong to Beastars (Except for Yahya’s parents, I made them up!)

Beastars Tag Thingy from my Reddit
I’m going to edit the original post so here’s a copy-paste of it before the changes.
I just felt like doing something fun. I will not be tagging anyone here but feel free to do it if you want! 
About You:
Nicknames?: Mack.
Five Random Facts About You?:
- I love pastel colors and really want to dye my hair light purple and/or pink (even though I have dark hair). Ironically, I was a goth (or tried to be) in ninth grade.
- I write about my dreams and nightmares in a journal next to my bed. Some of my OC's or fanfic ideas come from the dreams I've written about in there.
- Even though I like Creepypasta and paranormal documentaries and enjoy listening to them when I'm drawing, I'm actually afraid of the dark and can't listen to them at night.
- From the time I was 12, I listened and watched a lot of murder documentaries. I still do but I get depressed and feel this 'losing faith in humanity' and 'this world is a terrible place' feeling if I listen to them long enough.
- Rabbits have always been my number one favorite animal and I do hope to have one as a pet someday (when I have room for one and when I know how to take care of them).
Song Stuck in Your Head?:
Show Yourself from Frozen 2. Why does this song keep getting in my head? *listens to the song because it kinda makes me think of Melon and Legosi for some reason*...Oh...That's why...
Do You Collect anything?:
Let's see...Beads, charms, Dove chocolate wrappers, stickers, timeless miniatures, Made-to-Move Barbie dolls, Beastars volumes, and I wouldn't say I 'collect' stuffed animals (I'm very selective with my plushies!) but I do have a collection in my bedroom. I also collect baking recipes and writing prompts I find on Tumblr or Pinterest but I'm also selective with them.
Pet peeves?:
Someone trying to talk to me when I'm doing homework, reading, or doing a project. I just cannot talk and work at the same time, my brain can't multi-task like that!
Beastars Questions:
Which Would You like as a High School Teacher or College Professor?:
- Gouhin (P.E/science/medicine)
- Melon (History/not-so-legal subjects)
- Yahya (gardening/self-defense)
- Other?
It would be interesting to learn self-defense from Gouhin or Yahya!
If You Were a Student at Cherryton Academy, Which Club Would You Join?:
- Drama Club
- Art Club
- Dance Club
- Gardening Club
- Other?
Art Club for sure!
Choose Your Squad!:
Legosi, Louis, Melon, and Agata! :D I also grew to really love the Shishigumi.
LEAST Favorite Shipping(s)?:
To be honest, the only shippings I really don't like are ones involving incest (such as Gosha x Legosi or Melon x Melon's mom (this one is absolutely disgusting, why does it exist??)) or involve large age gaps or underage characters. If they're under 18, it's a definite no.
I don't really mind if the age gap is small and both characters are of age (like Legosi(18) x Melon (24) or Agata(26) x Louis(19) for example) but only if there's nothing sexual going on (why can't it just be an emotional bond where they both turn to each other for comfort and reassurance and they become better and stronger people together??).
What's Your Dream Fanfic? Which genre would it be and which characters would be in it?:
Any fanfic that's wholesome or funny or explores a character's vulnerable or broken sides and/or their backstories. I don't really have a preference for characters (though I do love a good Melon fic or a Louis or Shishigumi fic) or shippings, as long as there's no sex if there is a shipping involved. Romantic relationships are not all about sex, there's a lot more to write about with each shipping that has nothing to do with whatever happens in the bedroom!
What's A Shipping You Want to See More Of?:
Honestly, I'd love to see any shipping fanfic with a good plot and with no sexual or NSFW themes in it (for the same reason I mentioned above). With that said, here's an example of what I mean using a shipping I wish there was more of but more like how I write it!:
Melon attempts to be nice and tries to make a birthday cake for Agata-only he doesn't know how and ends up burning the cake and causing a fire.
Melon: Your cake tried to kill me!!
Agata: Why didn't you ask me to help you?!
Melon: Because my ego can't handle it!!
What Do You Wish/Want to See More of in the Beastars Universe?:
Everything! I want to fully explore the Beastars world and know each and all of the characters! I do wish we got to see more of Bill, Aoba, Pina, Juno, and many of the other characters that sort if disappeared at the end but I think I really want to see more hybrids in the series. Melon and Leono are only two examples of what hybrid characters could be and there were lots of hybrid children in that one chapter. What would an herbivore hybrid look like? What would other hybrids look like? Also, why wasn't Kopi Luwak made more of a threat? Deshico looked and sounded like he could have been Melon's worst enemy and nightmare-not to mention how Gosha probably feels about him!
