Plants

Aguni Morizono x Reader

HE IS SO TORTURED AND IT MAKES ME SAD

Pre-borderlands, Hatter playing matchmaker , cursing i think that's it

You owned a flower shop. That was really all that needed to be said.

You had always loved plants from a yound age, always taking care of your garden.

Next door to you there was a hatter. He was rather excentric and always said hello to you.

"Goodmorning (Y/N)!" He chirped, walking through the door with a smile. "Goodmorning Takeru," you said, placing some of your rose bushes out into the greenhouse area. He followed behind you.

"So... if my friend needed desperate help with one of his house plants... would it be a bother if he came to ask you for help?" He asked suddenly. "A friend?" You asked, opening up a bag of soil, adding some of your compost into it,, mixing it around. "Yes! A friend, uhm he.. has this plant and it is just not doing well. No matter what he does with it," he explained. "Ahh... I see. Well, you can tell him I'd be more than happy to help," you said with a smile. "Thank you! I'll be sure to send him in later,"he said, leaving you to your work.

You sighed, wiping your forehead from the sweat. There was dirt on your hands, and you heard the bell for the door chime. You sighed, walking up to the front part of the building.

"Hello, how can i-"

"(Y/N) I brought my friend!" The man said excitedly.

You looked shocked at his outburst.

"Alright calm down Jesus... (L/N) (Y/N)," you introduced to the tall man.

"Morizono Aguni... it's a pleasure to meet you. Takeru won't shut up actually," he muttered.

You giggled. He swore that his heart must have been beating at the speed of light when he finally took a good look at you.

You were gorgeous. Your (h/l) (h/c) hair put into (H/S). And your beautiful (e/c) eyes. Your skin was glowing, as if you wore glitter, but he knew it was probably from the exptensive care you took of it. Especially since you worked out in the sun most days. There was dirt smudged on your face and on the cute overalls you had on.

"So, you gonna keep staring or actually talk to her?" Takeru whispered to his hest friend. The stoic man looked away shyly.

He had seen you around obviously. If you closed early you'd help Takeru. If not, you two would close at the same time everyday. Many days he passed by to talk to his friend and watched you lovingly take care of each and every plant.

He remembered watching you cry over a vase that a kid had broken. Not while they were in the store, but you cried over it. Maybe it was about the plant and not the vase, but still.

You smiled. "Morizono, Takeru here told me you needed help with a plant, yes?"

He nodded. Why would his his friend lie to her about that. There was really an easier way to do this, like just say he wanted to meet you. But his friend oh so into theatrics had to lie.

"So what kind is it?"

Fuck.

"Hydrangea."

"Ugh, they are so picky," you mumbled, grabbing some different things around your shop.

He watched you mumble to yourself, grabbing things and putting them back. Then he noticed his friend had left.

He felt bad that you were frazzled running around the store for a plant that he most definitely did not have.

“(L/N), it’s ok you don’t have to do all that,” he said.

“Oh? But your-,”

“Doesn’t exist. Made it up because I wanted to talk to you… just didn’t know how to start conversation,” he explained, a bit embarrassed.

You blushed.

“Oh… well… in that case, would you like to go get dinner or something tonight? Get to know me?” You asked with a bright smile.

He smiled back and nodded.

“I’d like that.”

Takeru watched from the outside shop window and jumped in glee. Finally you two would stop being cowards and just talk.

“Another job well done by me if I do say so myself.”

So sorry for the short chapter!

hey yall i’m back😝😝 here’s an aguni fluff (and angst) of him being ur bodyguard in the real world before the chaos, during the chaos, and pt two will be after the chaos!!

you were a very VERY popular dancer. you sometimes sung, but it wasn’t your main talent. you were known for being a backup dancer that got so much attention, you moved into a main dancer or side-singer!

you had a group, which loved you dearly. you were all family after all. they were happy when you moved up a notch.

but something’s bothered you a bit.

they all had personal bodyguards, and you didn’t!! i mean, surely, you could protect yourself, and you all had a few bodyguards for the group, but none of them were your personal bodyguards. and what if something REALLY bad and unexpected to happen in your own home?! you couldn’t possibly do anything.

you decided to get a hire a personal bodyguard when you heard that a very popular singer got robbed and stabbed when she didn’t have a bodyguard. that surely shook you enough.

plus, your group kept telling you to get one after the incident too.

now we’re moving onto 3 years.

that’s how long you had your personal bodyguard, Morizono Aguni. everyone called him aguni, and you used to too. but after awhile, you felt comfortable enough with him to call you Mori. you didn’t think anything of it until you heard his acquaintance calling him Mori, and he didn’t let it slide.

you didn’t think much of this, but you thought it was kinda sweet. i mean, you two are so close that you met hatter. and hatter loves you!

there’s just one thing he knew that you didn’t.

“so, when are you gonna tell her?” Hatter asks, trying on another hat. they were currently trying on hats for a dinner during Mori’s day off. which was the day after this.

“when am i gonna tell who what?” Mori asks, trying on a hat right next to his best friend.

“oh don’t play dumb with me.” Hatter scoffs, taking off his hat and trying on another one. “when are you gonna tell y/n that your in love with her?”

of course hatter knew. he would always know everything about his best friend, even if his best friend didn’t tell him blank shit. it was kinda scary.

Mori scoffs right back, not surprised at his question. “she’ll reject me. for sure.” he says, not even looking at hatter while he talks. “oh cmon! you don’t know that.” hatter faces mori as mori swiftly takes off his hat.

“your a handsome fellow, so putting yourself down is very unattractive with the ladies.” he sucks his teeth after the sentence leaves his mouth.

mori rolls his eyes at hatter. “and your speaking from experience?” mori says, finally looking at hatter. hatter just playfully punches moris shoulder as he deeply chuckles with that raspy voice of his.

✧time skip ✧

“where should we go next?” Mori asks, stepping out of the store with hatter behind him. hatter shrugs even though he knows mori can’t see him. “let’s sit down for a second, my feet are killing me.” hatter says, leaning against the rim of the shop.

mori nods, sitting on the sidewalk right next to him. “oh look, fireworks!” hatter says laughing as he keeps his head up. mori looks up to see them, yet he keeps his poker face.

✧time skip ✧

how long since that’s happened? i don’t even know.

but they missed you. they talked about you in private almost every single day. i’m sure mori misses you a lot more. if he could, he wished would’ve stayed in the shop for just a few more minutes.

then maybe..he would get to the next day in the real world. he would see you. he would have dinner with you and his best friend.

mori felt numb. and hatter knew this. i mean, who wouldn’t feel bad? mori lost the love of his life, and he doesn’t know if he will be able to see them again.

that was until you popped up out of nowhere with a random girl.

when the militants kidnapped you and your friend kuina after seeing how good you were after playing, they had no idea that you would be so valuable to “king” hatter.

you squinted your eyes when you saw an unexpected light sign towards you when the bag was removed.

“welco-!”

that’s all what left hatters mouth before he saw you.

you still couldn’t really see him clearly because of the light. or at all. but you would always and forever recognize his voice. “t..takeru?” you mumbled out as everyone kept quiet after hearing hatters first name.

you tried to sight out your vision, but you just couldn’t.

“y/n!” his mouth gaped as it turned into a huge and bright smile.

“takeru!” even though you couldn’t see him, you knew it in his tone that he had his signature bright smile on him.

“everyone out immediately! and take the girl she was with.” hatter spoke in a happy yet serious tone.

mori wasnt in the room when you revealed yourself, but once he would find out you were here, hatter was sure he’d be estatic.

✧time skip ✧

hatter told you everything about the game and what it was about. but tbh, you didn’t really care.

all you cared about is that one of your closest friends were here. and you were too excited to see mori to care.

mori may have been your bodyguard, and hatter may have been your bodyguards best friend, but you loved them to death.

the door suddenly flew open and both you and hatter jumped a bit. mori suddenly revealed himself with his eyes wide after he heard what happened.

niragi told mori what happened and as soon as the name “y/n” came out of his mouth, mori practically flew away.

so there he was. his face seemed like he had just seen someone come back to life. he didn’t smile, but he did run up to your and hug you like never before.

you chuckled when he stuffed his face into your neck. you wrapped your arms around him. “i missed you too”

✧ time skip ✧

he lost everything.

part two?😙 @herbyzung @randomspamposts

ps i’m so sorry if this was bad or short but i was in a rush to make a new one😭

Pretty, Little Noises | An Alice in Borderland FanFic

SIFJDSOPSPFFPSOPKSOJSLKDFKSD I FINALLY FINISHED THIS FIC. Idk why it was so hard for me. I love Aguni and Hatter so much. 😭😭 But! Without further ado, here it is! And it's real degenerate. Please enjoy! 😀😀😀

Summary:

When Aguni arrives at Takeru's office at his behest, he's surprised to find that you—one of Hatter's many girlfriends? flings?—are waiting there, as well. Things start to make a little more sense when Takeru starts pontificating about how important it is for everyone to enjoy themselves at the Beach and so on and so forth. But Aguni wouldn't really have expected you to be interested in helping him relax. You're just as scared of him as the others. Or, at least, that's what he believes.

What Aguni, or Hatter for that matter, don't know is that you're a little different from the other Beach residents. 😉

Read on Ao3!

Just a little rush, babe, to feel dizzy

part 1 │ part 2 │ part 3

'Hatter took away my bed.'

'He did what?'

'He just told me to tell Mori-chan he's welcome, who the fuck is that guy?'

You were fuming. At first, Aguni had found it almost funny, to see you pacing up and down the corridor followed by a soft-speaking Kuina that was undoubtedly trying to calm you down. Your arms were raised and wide open, you were screaming and cussing and hissing, hair messy, all over your face. It suited you, somehow, to be so passionate.

But that was until he had learned the reason why you were angry.

Takeru, I'm going to murder you, Aguni thought to himself. He felt his own skull throbbing, pounding, the pressure of sudden anger threatening to pop his eyes out of his head. He took some long, slow breaths, feeling the sudden emotion slowly subsiding, being relegated to a low, faint, pulsing sensation somewhere in his chest.

'That's me.' Aguni muttered, unclenching his jaw.

You stared at him, coming to a halt so suddenly Kuina almost crashed into you.

'What's you?'

'Mori-chan.'

'Can you explain to me why the hell would Hatter take away my bed for you?'

Kuina looked to her right, then to her left, as if she was searching for a way out. 'I think I can hear Chishiya calling...' It was a lie, of course. But you were not paying attention to your friend any longer, your big, slanted eyes focused only on Aguni. Shooting daggers at him. She used that excuse to run away, leaving the two of you to stand in the corridor, facing each other.

You had your arms crossed firmly over your chest, your expression tight, your skin pale from the tension.

'Hatter and I... We are friends.'

'You're friends? I thought you despised one another.'

'That's just... Look, can we speak somewhere else?'

'No.'

Aguni sighed. You were so difficult at times, and yet he could not keep himself away from you. He very much preferred when your annoyance was not directed at him. He hoped, that, by explaining, he could at least get on your good side.

'He and I were friends back in the real world, we have been since we were kids. We came here together, and... Long story short, he decided to create The Beach to try and give hope to those who had fallen into despair. We pretend not to get along because it is becoming increasingly hard to control Niragi and the others, and it is a way for him to put me and by extension, them, in place. Establish dominance.' He paused, waiting for a group of people to pass out of earshot. 'I didn't ask him to do this. I swear.'

He was avoiding your inquisitive eyes, instead looking down at his shoes but he could almost hear your eyebrows being raised. You took a few seconds to answer, thinking carefully about the information you just received.

'I have never heard you say that many words. Fair enough, I believe you.' You declared, but Aguni knew this was not over. You always had more questions, no matter the topic. 'Why does he want us to sleep together?'

'I don't think that was his intention...'

'He took my bed.'

'Well... we met yesterday and I might have told him...'

'Yes?'

'He asked about you. I might have told him I liked you.'

───⋆☆─────────────

'Mori-chan! Long time no see!'

Takeru gave his friend a big bear hug, Aguni corresponding by awkwardly patting his back.

'We never meet anymore. You could at least pretend to be happy to see me.'

Aguni was happy to see him. But you had just passed by his room to nonchalantly ask if he wanted to grab something to eat with you, pouting adorably when he had said he couldn't, an actual spark of disappointment in your eyes, blowing him a kiss before you left. And part of him was still stuck in that moment.

'I'm sorry, Takeru. I have been busy.'

'Oh, I know.' The man let himself dramatically fall on the couch, serving some amber-colored liquor in two glasses and indicating his friend with a head nod to sit, as well. 'I've heard there is a new person in your life.'

'Not really.' Aguni shrugged, shifting uncomfortably, grabbing his glass and finishing it in one long gulp. You were his secret. A shouted one, but a secret, nonetheless. Takeru lived in this room, hardly ever coming out unless it was to give his little speeches or to choose which was the next girl, or boy, to join him in his bed. They never lasted long.

He couldn't have heard of you, could he?

'Ah, no? So you don't know anyone who smiles like this?' His lips stretched into a lopsided smile, much like your own. 'A fiery woman, that one. They are starting to call her Aguni's girl.'

'Who does?'

'Ah, but my friend...' Takeru leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. 'You're not asking the right questions! And honestly, I don't know why I would even answer, I'm offended you didn't tell me first you were falling for someone.' He pressed a hand to his chest, right where his heart was, grimacing, as if it really, really hurt him.

'I'm not falling for her.'

'Oh, of course not! You've already fallen! I can see it all over your face.' Takeru pointed at him, making circles with his index finger. Had he always been this exuberant or had it only gotten worse with time?

Aguni closed his mouth, tensing his muscles, teeth grinding, nostrils flaring. He did not like how this situation was going.

'So... Have you already kissed?' Takeru asked. He, like you, never gave up when there was something he wanted to know. 'Have you already...' He lowered his voice, and giggled theatrically, covering his mouth with his hand. '...you know, sealed the deal? Had sex?'

'No.'

'How come?'

'I... haven't said anything to her about my feelings.' Aguni ended up confessing. It was stupid, trying to hide anything from Takeru. He wouldn't have it. And the sooner they talked about this, the sooner they could move on to other topics.

'Why?' Takeru's mouth was in the shape of a perfect o.

'There hasn't been time?'

'Oh, Mori!' Takeru run his fingers through his hair, shaking his head and clicking his tongue, obviously disappointed. 'And when are you going to tell her? When she dies in a game? When you die in a game? We could die at any moment, what's the point in waiting?'

Aguni didn't answer. He poured himself another drink, without asking, much more generous this time, and once again, he swallowed the contents of the glass at once. 'I really don't see the point in speaking about this.'

'Okay, can I at least tell you she's pretty? Praise your taste in women?'

'Takeru...'

'Fine. Let's talk about something boring, then.' He rolled his eyes until only white was showing. 'How are the militants doing?'

───⋆☆─────────────

'Did you just say that you like me?'

'I do.'

'And why didn't you tell me?'

You were not mad now, that much was obvious. But Aguni had trouble pinpointing exactly what it was that you were feeling. You were chewing on your lower lip, contemplative, making him think he wouldn't mind having a small bite either.

'I... don't know?'

Why were you asking him this? Did you feel the same way? Did you not?

Why did you have to be so hard to read?

You scoffed. 'Please, Mori-chan, don't give me so much information at once. I might not be able to handle it.' You grinned immediately after, rubbing your chin. Aguni was almost afraid to ask what you were thinking about. 'How did he know I would go to sleep in your room?'

'Hm?'

'Yeah, how did Hatter know I wouldn't go sleep with Kuina, or Chishiya, or someone else?'

'Ah... I don't know.' Just the thought of you sleeping with another person was unpleasant.

'I guess it doesn't matter since I was going to ask you, either way. Although I kind of don't want to now, if only to spite that little man. Care to walk me to my new resting place?' And without waiting for a response, you grabbed Aguni's arm, staring at him with those eyes of yours.

He nodded, and started walking, head straight. He, however, also kept stealing side glances at you. He had just confessed his feelings, and he didn't know how to interpret your reaction. Maybe, you also didn't know how to feel. You were distractedly humming some unknown song, seemingly still lost in thought.

When you finally arrived, you opened the door and entered without any ceremony. You had never actually been inside of Aguni's room, but you had waited by it many mornings, afternoons and nights.

'My bedroom was like the broom's closet compared to this.' You whistled, pleasantly surprised. You gazed at the man. 'If you wanted me to immediately believe you were close with Hatter, you only needed to show me this.'

It was a suite, one of the biggest and nicest from the resort. Aguni didn't particularly care for it, but he had to admit that it was comfortable, spacious and well-decorated, and that he liked how impressed it made you.

'Is this the best room this hotel has to offer?'

'No, Takeru... Hatter, has the biggest. He's next door.'

The room could only keep you entertained so much, because after snooping around for a bit and opening a few drawers, your eyes were back on him. 'This liking me thing. When did it start?'

You were standing near, getting close without him even noticing, which was a thing you knew how to do that he had yet to discover the trick to. He could smell your hair, he could see the beauty spots on your jawline, on your long neck, on your chest.

'I liked you from the beginning.' If he didn't lie to Takeru, why would he lie to you?

'Is it a 'I want to have sex with you' kind of thing or is it a 'I actually have feelings for you' thing?'

'Eh... The second.'

'Cool. We are on the same page, then.'

'What do you mean?'

'I like you as well.'

Aguni worked his lips, as if trying to find the right words.

But he discovered there were better things to do with them, when you lifted your head and pressed your mouth against his, one of your hands sliding round the back of his neck, the other wrapping the fabric of his t-shirt in a fist, bringing him closer to you, until there was nothing, not even air, between your bodies. A soft grunt was already forming in your throat.

He took a second to react, but then he was kissing back, with the same intensity if not more, catching his breath. His face sideways on to yours, locked together. One of his hands working through your hair, the other already travelling down your back.

───⋆☆─────────────

Your head was resting on Aguni's chest, your fingers drawing shapes lazily on his skin.

He was playing with a strand of your hair, bewitched, stamping every detail of your face into his mind. Including your half grin when you caught him staring at you.

'Like what you see?' You purred, moving your face closer to his, so that your lips brushed his when you spoke.

'I do.'

'Hm? Ready to go a second time, tiger?'

'With you? And a third, and a fourth...'

'Uh oh. Poor Hatter. Wasn't he next door? We are not going to let him sleep.' Your voice was full of pity, but your eyes told a different story. There was something playful in them.

'I don't care. Damn him, he deserves it. He was right, and I will have to thank him. But he deserves it...'

Aguni's words trailed off, you already biting, and kissing, and sucking on his neck, chuckling while doing it.

He grabbed your hips, putting you on top him, ready to get lost in you once more.

! Alice in borderland S1 spoilers !

I think a lot about how Aguni and Takeru changed so much in the game. From the beginning, you think that they're enemies. It's the way the series sets it up. But the series hits you with a shocking revelation. Takeru had already faced a kind of "betrayal" before, and Aguni didn't want Takeru to lose himself. But Aguni didn't stop Takeru in time, and worse of all, he was cursed with the eyes of someone who had killed their friend.

Note

if you met the people at the Beach (Hatter, Aguni, niragi, last boss, Ann, kuina, mira, kuzuryu) while in high school, what do you think your relationship with each of them would be?

This is an interesting question. What a concept. Strangely enough, I came up with answers fairly quickly

Hatter - Hatter strikes me as one of the kids in the Drama Department. Always the center of attention, whether they are on stage or not. Constantly causing disruptions to keep everyone’s focus on them. I really had no patience for Drama Department kids when I was in school. It’s very likely that I would have avoided Hatter at all costs because he would have the ability to annoy me like no other. Much like he does every single day here at The Beach.

Aguni - I’m not sure where to put Aguni. My first impression, perhaps because of his physical appearance, was that he was likely a jock; probably on the football team. Upon further reflection, I also think it is possible that Aguni may have been a… well, we called them “burnouts”. You know, the kids that smoked, mouthed off, got in fights (or started fights), drank on the weekends- that kind of thing. Regardless of where Aguni would end up socially, I’m fairly certain he would have been a bully. Hence, I would have stayed far, far away from him. This is not to say I was bullied in High School- it was actually quite the opposite- but for some reason, I can see Aguni being someone who would pick on the little guy. That would be me.

Niragi - Niragi is somewhat difficult for me to place, as far as where he may have been socially in High School. However- and this could seriously get my ass kicked if he sees this- I will say this about Niragi: he is not the “Himbo” that he likes to portray himself as. Niragi is a smart guy. I don’t just mean smart in the way that he can handle himself in day-to-day life. No, Niragi is smart. He knows more than he is letting on and I believe he was probably one of the brightest students in his school. He’s “book smart”; he likely got top marks and was seen as a nerd. My impression of what Niragi may have been like in High School is quite different from who he is today, here at The Beach. For some reason, I don’t see Niragi being a popular kid, even with his intellect. As outgoing and…ostentatious as he is now, I think he was on the opposite end of the spectrum as a kid; painfully shy and always determined to stay out of sight. Would we have spoken to each other? No, I really don’t believe we would have. While we may not have been enemies, as we are now, I don’t believe we would have been friends, either.

Last Boss - While I have never had any clear indication that Last Boss is musically inclined, I see him as being involved in the Music Department in some capacity in High School. I don’t picture him being in Marching Band- or any kind of organized, school sanctioned band, for that matter- but involved in music somehow. Last Boss is another one that I see going through school as a “loner”; not belonging to one particular clique, but perhaps with a close friend or two. Labels aren’t something that I subscribe to when it comes to people and their personality or social group, but in this instance, I’ll have to apply one to get my point across. Last Boss strikes me as one of the kids that would have been in the “alternative” or “goth” (oh, how I despise that phrase) crowd. Dressed all in black, long hair that hung in his face, quiet; a true outcast (not too much different than how he is now). I don’t think Last Boss and I would have spoken on a regular basis- we certainly wouldn’t have been friends- but we may have had brief interactions from time to time. Which is pretty much our involvement with one another now.

Ann - This is going to be a little different from the others because I’m not guessing when it comes to Ann. Her and I talk every once in a while, so this is actual information that she has told me. We know quite a bit about each other that nobody else here will ever know. Ann is very smart. I know I’ve said this before about her, but I’m not sure I’m accurately expressing just how intelligent Ann is. Her and I have a lot in common as far as our educational careers. She was always top of her class, without exception. She never had to study to pass exams or other educational requirements, but she did anyway (much like me). The one difference between us is that Ann did not come from a wealthy family; she grew up in an average home with an average family. For her to go to college, Ann had to rely on a scholarship. Needless to say, that was never a problem for her and she landed a full ride scholarship to University of Tokyo. While Ann and I do have certain things in common, and I do believe we would have spoken to each other, I don’t think her and I would have been much more than acquaintances in High School.

Mira - Mira. I can tell you right now, regardless of who she was or what she was like in High School, there is no way in Hell I would have had anything to do with Mira Kano in High School. I’m guessing we would have the same relationship that we have now, which is non existent. Mira seems like she would have been a popular girl in High School. Not just a “popular girl”, but probably the “It Girl”. You know, the girl who is the most popular of all the popular girls in school? I would guess that Mira is that girl. I can’t imagine that her and I would have had any kind of interaction with one another- much like here at The Beach. In fact, I’m fairly certain that I would feel the exact same way about her in High School as I do about her now. My only feeling towards Mira is the urge to push her down the stairs, should we ever cross paths there.

Kuzuryu - I can only imagine that Kuzuryu and I would have the same kind of interaction that Ann and I would have, simply because he and I have a similar relationship to the one that I have with Ann. Kuzuryu is another one that is very, very intelligent. I can see the three of us (myself, Ann, and Kuzuryu) occasionally speaking to each other, strictly about school. I wouldn’t consider us friends, per se; acquaintances would be more fitting.

Kuina - Believe it or not, I saved Kuina for last because I don’t have any idea what we would have meant to each other in High School. Kuina said she wasn’t “popular”, yet she wasn’t a wallflower, either. She said she was a good student, academically. She did get good grades, but the difference between her and I was that she studied hard to get those grades. She had several very good friends that were important to her. While she never considered herself an athlete, she had incredible strength, endurance, and she was fast. The coach for the Track Team recruited her and she excelled on the team, even managing to break a few records, making quite a name for herself. With all of that to consider, I’m not sure Kuina and I would have even crossed paths. I certainly never attended any extra curricular activities, let alone athletic events, so I wouldn’t have known Kuina from her Track Team achievements. Sadly, I don’t think Kuina and I would have ever known of each other in High School and therefore wouldn’t have been friends. That doesn’t even seem possible to me, knowing how close we are to each other now.

So, there you have it, Anon. Thank you for the interesting question. I genuinely enjoy inquiries such as this. Yes, they require lengthy answers, but they give me a chance to really think. After sitting around here for days, I need all of the intellectual exercise I can get.
