Gorillaz Teacher! AU Headcanons

🍎 Original headcanons ✏️

🏫 Ao3 version 🎒

Murdoc:

• Wait, how did he even get this job and why hasn't he been fired yet?

• Teaching is honestly just a shitty day job for him. Once he earns enough, he's quitting to become a famous rock star with his own band! He could see it now: fame, glory, girls. It sounds like a dream come true. But until he had the money to make that dream a reality, he was stuck as the school's social studies teacher.

• When he quits his job as an "educator", it's going to be very similar to the fuck you scene from the movie "Half Baked".

• He is disliked by the students in all of his classes.

• He has a habit of arriving 30 minutes late to class. Sometimes he'll show up completely sober, while other times he'll show up drunk.

• The pickle has WAY too many political views that he refuses to keep to himself.

• If Murdoc falls asleep at his desk, one of the kids might try to either draw a dick on his forehead and take a picture of it, or they might try to put a 'kick me' sign on his back. But they have to be EXTRA careful or they might wake up the grumpy goblin!

• If he does wake up, he'll be extremely mad and end up giving the whole class a pop quiz first thing tomorrow morning.

• He finds grading papers to be too difficult, so he doesn't bother doing it.

• The only time Murdoc actually teaches his class something about social studies is when the principal or some other important staff member walks into the room to see what's going on. Once they're gone, he goes straight back to sleep.

• He believes that Stuart Pot, the new music teacher at school, is an idiot. He decides to give him the nickname '2D' because he feels that the man is too dense. Murdoc has walked by Stuart's classroom a couple of times before and has overheard him and his students singing while he plays the piano. To hear more, he would usually place his ear against the door. He had to admit that the guy had some really nice vocals. Plus, he's tall, pretty, has blue hair, and both eyes! Murdoc makes a mental note to remember to make that Stu-Pot guy the front man of his future band once he gets the money he wants and decides to quit.

• Murdoc only tries to 'befriend" 2D because he's a music teacher and also because he wants him to be his future front man.

• When he learns that the teacher of the class with the highest test scores will receive a large bonus pay, he decides to change his style of "teaching", forcing the students in his class to study intensely for the upcoming test. However, the kids end up getting low scores.

• He has been embezzling money from the 9th grade bake sale.

2D/Stuart Pot:

• He is the new music teacher!

• He quickly becomes well-liked by students and co-workers.

• Stuart is a nice teacher who carries himself off as a goofy professional who knows what he's doing.

• Believes that every one of his students will become a great musician one day.

• At times, he enjoys teaching while music plays in the background.

• He may accidentally give students test answers when they ask for clarification on a question

• He will write original songs for his class to perform.

• Has an after-school club where he teaches students how to play piano, keyboards, and melodica.

• I can imagine him being an actual teacher in real life.

• Stuart is a bit terrified of Murdoc because one time, when the two were on lunch duty together, Murdoc was explaining to him a dream that he had last night where he launched his car through a music shop that Stu-Pot was apparently working at and had knocked one of his eyes out! “ Oh, uh, o-okay… W-Well, it’s a good thing you aren’t actually going to run me over with a real car, right?…RIGHT?!”

Noodle:

• She has a full real name, but prefers to be referred to as Noodle, which was a nickname she received in her childhood.

• The children generally call her Ms. Noodle.

• She's the teaching assistant for Stuart's class!

• She's kind because she helps everyone in the class who needs it, even the spoiled kids.

• She's in charge of the guitar club after-school!

• She really likes the guitar club since it provides a safe and fun environment for students to come together and enjoy music.

• She's a master at playing acoustic guitar and ukulele!

• You'll most likely find her in the teacher's lounge playing on her pink handheld game player while drinking tea and munching on the candy and snacks that they have in there.

• The teacher's lounge is her favorite room to be in for obvious reasons.

Russel:

• He's a no-nonsense math teacher who will joke around with his students from time to time, but then gets very serious with them when it comes to their grades.

• Mr. Hobbs is skilled at making math fun with a capital F!

• They didn’t do so well on a test? Not a problem! Russel will happily allow a student to retake it, as long as they go home and study.

• He will greet each student by their name when they enter his class.

• Russel has a general concern for his students and desires the best for all of them.

• His students can count on him being genuine

• Will bring treats for the class if they did really well on a quiz or test!

• Allows his students to use their phones once they have finished all their work.

• When his students throw him a surprise party in the classroom on his birthday, he breaks down in happy tears.

• Murdoc's classroom is situated across the hall from his own.

• Russel doesn't know why, but he feels that Mr. Niccals is teaching for all the wrong reasons.

• He really doesn't think Murdoc should be teaching teenagers, or really anyone. Russel couldn't think of anyone less qualified to be a teacher.

• Whenever he's in the teacher's lounge, he likes socializing with other teachers like 2D or Noodle, but never with Murdoc. Russel tries to avoid him.

◎ 𝙸𝙼𝙿𝙾𝚁𝚃𝙰𝙽𝚃 𝙷𝙴𝙰𝙳𝙲𝙰𝙽𝙾𝙽𝚂 𝚃𝙾 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝚂𝙸𝙳𝙴𝚁

CAN THEY USE CHOPSTICKS? Kirk enjoys a nice lunch of sushi from time to time and while he's not the most skilled chopstick user, his fingers are deft and articulate enough to allow him halfway decent usage. He prefers using a fork whenever he can (or even just use his fingers as they do in Japan) but as long as the food tastes good, he won't complain either way. He's quite the fan of chinese cuisine as well.

WHAT DO THEY DO WHEN THEY CAN’T SLEEP. It's not so much that Kirk can't sleep... rather that his research consumes him and before he knows it, the sun is rising and he's spent the whole night working again. On rare occasions when he does get to bed at a reasonable hour, he'll get dressed and go for a walk should sleep elude him, bundling up in warm clothing before paying a visit to the closest convenience store in order to pick up a few things he might be missing or Gotham Park in hopes of spotting a few bats flying around. He'll take his notebook along for the latter journey, jotting down a few key points such as how many bats he can see, how healthy they are and anything else of interest such as species, behavioural patterns, how they're faring in their local environment and what could be done to improve life for them here in the city. They may not be the same bats he uses in his research but Kirk still cares about all species of animals and is an avid environmentalist despite the gloom and pollution of Gotham's industrial facilities.

WHAT ORDER DO THEY WASH THINGS IN THE SHOWER. Starts with his hair first. Kirk turns on the shower and climbs in straight away, not minding the cold water spraying across his skin before lathering up a generous dose of shampoo and working it into his roots. While that gets to work, he'll take a bar of soap and scrub his body all over, starting underneath his arms, then his stomach, between his legs and working his way further down until his skin is thoroughly soaped before rinsing off under the shower's flow. He may apply a second application of shampoo and conditioner, liking his hair to be as clean as possible before finishing up and drying off.

WHAT’S THEIR COFFEE ORDER. ANYTHING SWEET. Seriously, Kirk loves creamy drinks such as frappuccinos, mocha lattes and the like! He'll always request his beverages to come with extra whipped cream, caramel drizzle - anything that sounds sweet and oh so unhealthy for you and would absolutely finish up work early just to be able to go out and order something with pumpkin spice as soon as it's avaliable. He doesn't normally consume such sugary treats other than prinsesstårta when visiting family in Sweden so creamy drinks can really comfort him when the weather is bad or he's feeling low.

HOW DO THEY ACT AROUND CHILDREN. Very patient and understanding. Kirk is definitely a family man at heart and has several younger relatives, not to mention children of his own in some canon depictions so it stands to reason he's equipped to handle kids and would treat them as well as his parents treated him while growing up which is to say a lot. He doesn't mind how rambunctious children can be nor how inquisitive their little minds are - young people need to learn and mistakes are one way that happens, so he would rarely lose his temper unless they did something incredibly stupid/dangerous, or pointlessly cruel. Even then, his anger would be more of a cold disappointment than fury, openly remarking on how he thought they were better than that. All in all, Kirk would be a respectful adult, neither berating a child nor talking down to them. Instead he'd be keen to help them learn with whatever they're interested in, knowing how important education is to a child's future. He's a very good uncle to his own young relatives, keeping contact with them even though he lives in another country altogether.

WHAT WOULD THEY WATCH ON TV WHEN THEY’RE BORED AND NOTHING THEY REALLY LIKE IS ON. He's not much of a television watcher. The news is full of doom and gloom, making it rather depressing to watch even on the best of days. It's also hard to find suitable channels for the hearing-impaired and while his cochlear implants are sound, he can't help but be a little disconnected from it all anyway. He might watch some older reruns from years ago and if he's got time, watch foreign movies where subtitles are absolutely necessary in order to understand what's going on. Kirk's just not the sort of man who'd waste precious time watching cheesy shows unless spending quality time with somebody who does enjoy that sort of thing.

TAGGED BY;; @arkhampsych, probably one or two other people over on Roman's blog? TAGGING;; Whoever hasn't done it yet!

#🦇 || musings #🦇 || headcanons #Feeling a bit knackered today but determined to write #Finished work nearly an hour later than usual it was so busy #Got my work done though and a little overtime so that's nice #Might be considered for permanent part time work also so that's nice!#Quite a few people are quitting this year so that leaves spaces open #Not quitting for bad reasons mind you #Most people are retiring but some are moving or going back to uni so that leaves open positions #We shall see what happens #Had some fun writing this for now though

Had this scenario stuck in my head for a while: when MC is first summoned into devildom, they are in their pijamas and holding a blanket. They listen to Diavolo but at some point their like “Yeah this is cool and all, but did it have to happen at 4 IN THE FLIPPING MORNING?? This isn’t cool man I have an exam in the morning!”

Really curious to see the brothers reactions 😆

IM SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG FOR YOU😭😭 HERE IT FINALLY IS

TOO EARLY AND TOO BUSY

💙LUCIFER

- oops... they really took into consideration your daily lifestyle, nor the part where humans arent fans of waking up early

- unfortunately you are stuck here

- "well either way you're staying here MC, we're sorry but you're exam will have to wait"

- cant help but feel a bit bad for your education in the human world, you'll definetely be in trouble with that once the year passes by, however he'll try his best to see what he can do to fix that problem

💛MAMMON

- you've been venting him about this for the last 3 hours MC please if you're so tired just go to sleep

- he also cant understand at the start why you're upset about missing that exam, shouldnt that be a good thing? You dont have to present it anymore

- with time he figures out why you were so annoyed when you first came here, if you pay for your education then of course you'll be pissed for missing that exam and A WHOLE YEAR, THAT IS SO MUCH MONEY IN THE TRASH

- the best that can be done now is to just deal with it however, its not like you can go back right now

🧡LEVIATHAN

- "lmao"

- yeah he wont really care that much, he'll try to mane thw situation look better by saying you wont have to present that exam but still fails to cheer you up

- will invite you to play games if it'll distract/help you

- as for the waking up time then he'll just say it happens and that you'll most likely have to get used to it, for what exactly is up to your imagination

💚SATAN

- he can see where your anger comes from, afterall education is important and who knows just how hard you studied

- the 4am thing, while reminding him more of a thing belphie would complain about, is also a reasonable thing for you to feel annoyed at

- he has studied alot about how humans live and so he really understand, unfortunately not much can be done about it

- he will try to make thing feel better by lending you books or deciding to talk about what the exam was about in case you get the chance to solve this issue once back to the human realm

💖ASMODEUS

- gasps at the part of waking up at 4 am

- "that is such a terrible time to wake up MC you are totally correct! In order to look beautiful and healthy you need to sleep for at least 6 to 8 hours, they threw out your entire schedule!"

- will offer either a product or a place to treat those terrible eyebags you could've gotten, as for the exam however, he'll also say that can cause stress which is also bad for your body

- will gladly make you happy however if you wanna however

❤BEELZEBUB

- the time issue reminds him alot of his twin brother, however considering these times it really doesnt feel right to talk to you about it yet to you

- tries to cheer you up with that by doing whatever wouls cheer his brother up, however if by then you are telling him this after opening up some of your favorites things to do then he'll also offer to do that

- as for the exam part... another mind that isnt sure how to help, you really are alone on that part buddy

💜BELPHEGOR

- when you told him about this moment he actually laughed a bit, the scenario is just funny to him, with you in your pjs and everthing

- however he still can see why you'd be annoyed by that, afterall sleeping is important, and for the avatar or sloth? It might just be a crime

- if by then youtwo have fixed your issues with eachother then he'll offer to fix the situation by sleeping more often with him

- the exam part? He be asleep by when you bring that up or would just say that exams tire him and then would change the subject or fall asleep there and then

I'm not that good with Pup stories but here are some things I could think of quickly!

When Mammon's pups get older he will be SUPER protective about who and when they date

Asmo looooves dressing his pups up!! Especially when they're still young and super cute! He will get a little sad if they no longer indulge him when they're older but he'll still have these super sweet bonding moments with them like spa days and shopping sprees

Belphegor's pups will be very often a cause of him not sleeping (which is, you know, a big thing for him) like when they're at a sleepover or attending their first party or they're staying out late Belphegor will under no circumstance rest until they're back even if his alpha says they'll stay up for the pups and it really shows just how deeply the avatar cares for his little ones 🥺

Beels pups would be literally little copies of him. They'll look like him, act like him and... Eat like him. I just feel like he has super dominant genes yk? It's super adorable tho ❤️

Lucifer stressed super badly about having the talk™ with his pups. He makes up a whole script for him and his alpha actually lol he finds it extremely important for his pups to be educated about their secondary gender and reproduction and safety and all that. He will be more embarrassed about it than his pups tho lol I imagine Luci complaining to his alpha about how weird he acted in front of his pups while talking about the whole thing xd

These are great and so accurate!!!

Mammon is very, very protective, you're right. He assumes that every new partner of his pups is scamming then or lying to them or trying to take advantage of them. He absolutely tails them on dates, very badly I must say, and his pups find it so embarrassing! They hide when they're going on dates, instead they ask Uncle Asmo for adive on dating hehe.

Asmo has a huge wardrobe for his own clothes of course, but Lucifer has to section off another room just for all of Asmo's pup's clothes and toys. Asmo adores dressing his pup up, and he takes so many photos!! (but he doesn't post them on devilgram, of course, until they're old enough to consent.) Asmo spends so much money, it almost gives Lucifer a heart attack on several occasions.

Oof, I absolutely love this Belphie headcanon! Him pushing back his sin to make sure his pups are safe is just 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 He struggles, but he never falters. His pups are the most important things in his life, more important than sleep.

Yes, Beel's pups are absolutely carbon copies of him!! So much baby food, so much! Entire shopping trolleys filled with baby food will only last his toddlers a week hehe. Lucifer is very grumpy when Beel weans his pups onto solid food, because now Lucifer has to pay for the food lmao.

Lucifer would absolutely get overstressed about giving his pups the talk, but he's too much of a control freak to let his alpha do it without him. His pride stops him feeling comfortable giving the talk, until Asmo offers to do it and Lucifer is spooked into doing it as soon as possible to stop Asmo from getting to them first lol. Lucifer's pups are horrified from start to finish, can we get an f in the chat 😔

#obey me #pup hcs #headcanons #belphie #beel #asmo #lucifer #mammon

Ship: Freed x Laxus

Rating: Teen

Prompt: Two Bros Chilling in A Hot Tub/Lightning Struck

Summary: Freed knew he had a lot to learn about being a professional wizard, and when he was paired up with Laxus for a mission he expected to learn a lot. He didn't expect to spend a day with him in a hot tub, and he certainly didn't expect to get an entirely unrelated education about life and about love.

Notes: Hello everyone, happy Fraxus Week. For the two bonus days, I've murged the prmopts together to make a two-shot. The second chapter will be uploaded on July the 22nd. I hope you all enjoy it, and head over to @fuckyeahfraxus to see all the other content for the event.

Links: Chapter Two ||| Event Masterlist ||| Archive of Our Own, Fanfiction

Chapter One

Year: X782

Location: Magnolia, Fiore

Professional Wizardry was still new to Freed. He hadn't wandered into the profession without the expectation that he'd be forced to do things that previously would have been unthinkable, or that his life wouldn't change entirely the moment he had joined a guild, but he felt like he was learning a new aspect to his profession every day. His expectations of the job and the reality of the job was almost entirely different, and Freed found himself enjoying the challenge.

He'd thought he'd be on missions near constantly. He'd go to some place in Fiore, use his magic to fight off a monster or dark wizard, and get paid for it. He hadn't expected there to be a community attached to it, that they'd be such a rigid tier system of missions, and how missions could be anything from finding a lost item, to being on a team attempting to disband a cult. There was so much more, and it was all fascinating.

After his eighteenth birthday three months prior, the jobs that he was allowed to accept had greatly opened up. They were more difficult, presented him with a greater threat to his life, and he was relishing the challenge. He could have gone on those missions earlier, but he much preferred working alone. While he was accepting that being in Fairy Tail meant there was a certain level of comradery with fellow guildmates, and that with that comradery there also came obligations, he didn't see the point in splitting his finances with others while he was powerful enough to perform these missions on his own and take home all the money himself.

The exception to this was Laxus Dreyar.

Master Makarov had approached Freed on his birthday with a proposition. He was worried for his grandson, wanted someone to look after him, and wondered if Freed would mind occasionally attending missions with him. He claimed that, while officially the money would be split between them, Makarov himself would make up the difference for Freed so that he would be paid in full. Freed had agreed, and that had been that.

Up until that afternoon, Freed had not gone on any missions with Laxus. They'd hardly spoken, even with Makarov's assurances that they'd get along. Freed would only be on certain missions and that afternoon's mission was apparently one of them. Makarov told Laxus Freed needed training in more advanced missions, and that he should be the one to do it. Laxus hadn't argued.

Somehow, while attending to a supposedly A-Class mission, they found themselves in Magnolia's hot spring and spa resort.

It was surveillance, so the mission stated. The Rune Army themselves had place the job, stating that they believed that members of a potential dark guild were using the site to host meetings and plan attacks. The resort had been trying to get rid of the suspects but couldn't do so without putting their staff in danger, and having an army presence suddenly appearing would tip the dark guild off and give them time to hide all evidence. The Rune Army wanted mages from Magnolia who could plausibly be in the spa for leisure time, but could also defend themselves from attack, to watch them for suspicious activity. Freed had a feeling that Laxus had taken the job to have a day relaxing in a spa, rather than because he felt the Rune Army needed the help.

None of this would have been a problem for Freed – he'd long since accepted that what constituted a job was a wide array of things – if it weren't for the elephant in the room. Or to be more precise, the Adonis wearing nothing but swimming trunks in the room.

Freed was a professional, but he was also eighteen years old and in the presence of an undeniably handsome man. Nobody, no matter their opinions on Laxus, would state that he was anything but sexy. Tall, blonde, square jawed, barrel chested with a scar over his eye and a tattoo over his pecs. His abs looked to be cut from steel and his legs comparable to tree trunks and, well, Freed was only human. Laxus was distracting.

"So," Laxus suddenly spoke as he slung a towel over his shoulder. "I don't exactly know what Gramps wants you to learn from this, but I'll try and teach ya some shit. Surveillance rule number one: fit in with yer surroundings. You seem pretty good at that."

It was only a moment, but Laxus' assessing gaze over Freed's body was exhilarating. But unprofessional.

Laxus didn't seem to notice, and instead started to walk out of the locker room they'd both changed in, and towards the area where they were meant to be watching. Freed followed, making sure to look straight ahead, rather than give into temptation to check out the man's back and his ass, and it wasn't a difficult task. While Freed had no qualms admitting his attraction to the blonde, he knew where his focus needed to be put. The mission was important, not his hormonal desire for his guildmate.

"That's the door we need to watch," Laxus said as he tilted his head to the door. Freed knew that of course, but Laxus was speaking again before he could say anything. "Pretty open room, lots of vantage points. Where should we go?"

Ah, it was a test then. Good, a worthy distraction and hopefully it would nip any ideas that Freed was in some way Laxus' inferior in the bud. Freed looked around the room quickly, glanced towards the door that they needed to keep in their sights, and quickly made a plan of how the rest of the day would go. Strategy was his strong suit.

"The hot tub," He said firmly. "At least for now."

"Why only for now?" Laxus asked. There was no condensation in his tone, he was simply asking for Freed's reasoning.

"Staying in the same place throughout the afternoon would be suspicious. We know who the suspects are, but that doesn't mean they're the only people involved, so we need to look like regular customers constantly," Freed explained, speaking quietly as they walked further into the room. "As we've only just got here, it makes sense for us to use a facility instantly. Going to sit by the pool or at the juice bar would be odd, at least for now. The massage tables and spa treatments are too distracting, but the hot tub allows us to sit and watch without anyone questioning it. It'll give us the lay of the land without drawing any attention on us."

"And we both have to do it?" Laxus probed. "Wouldn't it make more sense to split up and cover more ground.

"Later," Freed dismissed. "We came in together; we'll need to do things at the same time at least once in a while. As I said, the treatments are distracting and as such we should do them one at a time rather than simultaneously. If we spend the whole day apart after we've arrived together, it'll raise suspicion. The hot tub is a good vantage point, and so a good way to be seen together while not losing an advantage."

Laxus thought for a moment, before nodding, clasping Freed on the bare shoulder, and giving him the smallest of grins. "Yer good at this."

"Of course I am," Freed retorted, and that seemed to make Laxus grin wider.

They walked towards the hot tub, which was at the back wall, attached to the main pool. As it was a Tuesday afternoon, only a few people were loitering around the resort and the hot tub was empty. Freed placed his towel on the handle provided and walked into the hot tub, soaking his entire body sans his head in the hot, bubbling water. His muscles relaxed instantly, and he felt himself slinking down ever so slightly.

"You ain't here to relax," Laxus said in a voice almost teasing as he climbed the stairs into the tub. "Eyes on the mission, remember."

Freed went to point out that, given Laxus was looking at him rather than at the door, he was just as distracted. But Laxus chose that moment to sit down, submerging his chest in water and spreading his arms wide. His left hand was close to Freed's shoulder, and Freed felt that it was an act of great resilience that he didn't give into base urges and watch Laxus as he adjusted to his relaxed, wet – very very wet – state.

"I will if you will," Freed eventually said back, looking towards the door. He missed how Laxus' gaze lingered on his body just a little too long.

They fell into silence, and Freed made a genuine effort to keep his gaze away from the man who shared the hot tub with him. He truly hadn't thought this through. He hadn't realised that, as good as Laxus looked from afar, he looked better up-close. Maybe he should have denied the request to join the mission. And maybe he should have worn a looser swimsuit…

"So," Laxus said after a while, looking up at the ceiling for a moment to crack his neck. "How much is the old man paying you to spy on me?"

Freed halted, and removed his eyes from the door and looked towards Laxus. His face only, of course. "Excuse me."

"Rule two, you gotta trust the guys you're working with. So don't bullshit yer team members," Laxus said with a little grin. "Answer the question."

"For every mission that I do with you, he'll cover all the money you take from it, so I'm fully paid," Freed explained. He saw no point in lying.

"Guess we're gonna be doing some well-paying missions together then, if we wanna bleed the old bastard dry," Laxus smirked, and it was an oddly alluring look on the man. Freed looked away from it, and towards the door again. "You gonna tell him that I'm onto him?"

"I'd rather keep the deal up, I can get good money doing this," Freed shrugged, and he saw Laxus grinning a little from the corner of his eye. He tried not to pay attention to the expression, and instead focused on a man who could fit the description of a suspect. The man walked past the door, but that didn't mean he wasn't who they were looking for. "Why did you agree to this if you knew your grandfather wants reports on you?"

"Because it's gonna happen anyway, might as well accept it," Laxus shrugged. "I knew he was gonna get someone to do it, kinda glad that it's you."

"Why?"

"Because yer interesting," Laxus said, looking up at the ceiling again and closing his eyes as he lowered himself deeper into the water. Freed's gaze flickered low on the man's abs for a moment before looking to the door again. "We get a hell of a lot of mages joining Fairy Tail. Lots of people who think they're tough shit and wanna become the next powerhouse. Yer the only person I think whose got a chance of actually doing it."

The compliment was flattering. Laxus had something of a reputation for being generally rude and selfish, and either they were exaggerated or Laxus was making an exception. Freed felt it was a combination of both, but he accepted the compliment without complaint.

"You know my magic?" He asked.

"I've been keeping tabs on you since you came here, yer interesting," Laxus nodded, wading a hand through the water absently and sending ripples through the bubbles. "People give the darker magics a lot of shit. They're idiots. You can kick ass, and you're not bad to be around. Pretty much the opposite of a Fairy Tail mage right now."

"Does that opinion extend to you?"

"What d'you think?" Laxus asked with a cocky expression that Freed found himself enjoying.

"I wouldn't be here if I thought you weak."

"Good."

They fell into a silence, with the bubbling water warming Freed and making his muscles loose and relaxed. He kept a steady gaze on the door, making sure to avert his eyes when someone walked into the room, so his staring wasn't too obvious. It was a worthy distraction, and one well needed now that Laxus had apparently been watching him for all of eight months. That, combined with the fact that Laxus was wearing swimming trunks and was less than five feet away, could all become rather an issue if Freed didn't focus on anything else.

"Okay, your turn to relax now," Laxus said, cutting through Freed's thoughts. His voice was a little more relaxed. "You can't stay lookin' at the door all day. You'll get a crick in the neck."

"I'll be fine," Freed dismissed.

"Doesn't matter," Laxus stated, shifting slightly to get closer to Freed. It was to get a better view of the door, but the body heat that rivalled the warmth of the water was a noticeable feeling and Freed tensed. "Rule Three: lean on yer teammates. Sometimes you'll need to slack off, that ain't something to fight against. So long as someone in the team is on full alert it isn't too bad a problem. So sit back, close yer eyes, and let me take over for a while."

Freed was hesitant, but Laxus was clearly taking over keeping his gaze on the door, and Freed eventually found himself sliding down to further cover his body in water, and closed his eyes as relaxation flowed through him.

When his mind began to slip, Freed found himself thinking that Laxus was actually rather helpful. Freed wasn't quite so arrogant to think he knew everything about wizarding work, and an S-Class mage would have things to teach. Laxus especially would be useful to learn from, given their apparently similarities in working styles. Freed would need to learn how to work in a team, even if it wasn't fond of the idea, and Laxus might know how to offer actual advice rather than pointless mantras like 'your team should be your family' and other nonsense he'd heard from Fairy Tail. Without lying about why he was there, his team-ups with Laxus might be mutually beneficial.

Perhaps relaxing wasn't too bad an idea, either. Freed's mind had been somewhat consumed by his work. Finding a place to live as a seventeen-year-old had been difficult, and he'd put in a lot of effort in getting rent on time. But now he got better paying jobs, that urgency could fall away a little.

With a bit of effort, he tried to push the fact he was on a job to the back of his mind.

Once this whole thing was dealt with, maybe he would invest in a pass for the resort. In his preliminary research for the mission, he'd heard good things about the facilities, and even though he'd only been in the hot tub as of yet, he felt inclined to agree.

Though perhaps Laxus' company was partially to blame for his mood.

Fairy Tail had sometimes felt like a lonely place. Their focus on friendship, family and their revoltingly sentimental ideas about goodness were nice in principle, but when you were on the outside looking in it could get under your skin. Freed knew he was at fault for his lack of relationships with his guildmates, but perhaps Laxus might be a good starting point. Ironic, given that nearly everyone had told him Laxus was off-putting and rude.

The bubbles sent a pleasant chill over him, and Freed felt his tenseness ebbing away. When he got a pass for the resort, he'd have to explore the idea of a massage. He'd never thought it appealing, but perhaps he could be convinced.

There wouldn't be much convincing needed if Laxus were the one massaging him.

"Shit," Laxus hissed, and Freed's eyes whipped open. A rush of panic filled him that somehow he might have said that aloud, but the idea was ridiculous. He looked to Laxus to see worry flickering over him. "The suspect saw me looking, I think he went to get backup."

"Are you sure?" Freed asked, mind suddenly back on focus again.

"No, but we made eye contact. He's suspicious of me," Laxus was clenching his teeth, seemingly annoyed at himself. "We can't fuck it up, the Rune Army don't take shit like this lightly. We need a distraction or to get out."

"A distraction will be easier," Freed concluded. "Does he know for sure that we're looking out for him?"

"I wasn't being careful. I was watching him for about a full minute without being subtle. Pretty sure he knows it's not a passing glance."

"But that doesn't mean you know what he's doing, it just means you were looking at him," Freed mused aloud. "What if we throw him off the scent, give him another reason for why you were so focused on him."

"The hell would that be?" Laxus growled a little, and Freed scanned the room. They were the only two people in there now.

"Maybe you wanted him gone," Freed thought, plans forming in his head. Many of them he had to dismiss outright. "Perhaps if he sees something he wasn't meant to see, he'll think you were looking at him because you wanted him to leave."

"What the hell would I wanna do that I wouldn't want him seeing?" Laxus snapped, agitation rising. An idea came to Freed. It was good, it would get them out of the situation no doubt, but it might have a few repercussions in the future. Many arguments both for and against it flung through his mind, and his indecision must have been obvious, as Laxus continued talking a moment later. "Rule four, if a mission's going to shit and you think you can salvage it, you do it. So if you've got any ideas, I'd love to hear them."

Freed went to open his mouth to explain his idea, but he heard movement from across the room and glanced towards the door. It was opening, and two more suspects were walking through it, stone-faced and angry.

Before he could second guess himself, he launched himself onto Laxus and began to kiss him.

It was a sloppy, energetic, and passionate kiss. Laxus was frozen for a few moments, but Freed forced himself to push on in the hope that Laxus was trying to understand what was happening. Laxus quickly started to kiss back, and a hand ran down Freed's back, pulling him close. Freed began to mess his hands through Laxus' hair, heart pounding and a ringing in his ears cutting through his panic. He couldn't think of how bad an idea this was, about how there were probably hundreds of other ways to deal with this, because rumours stated that the dark mages were powerful, and he didn't want to get into a fight he could avoid.

Kissing wasn't enough for his plan. People kissed all the time. They needed to get… intimate. Freed began to run his hands over Laxus' torso – damn was he strong – and he felt large hands groping at his ass in return. He gasped into the kiss, and forced himself to remember that it was just for the mission.

The sound of a door closing snapped him back to reality, and he glanced to the side without breaking the kiss to see the suspects had left. He pulled himself off of Laxus, to find he'd been dragged so he was straddling the man's thigh at some point, and turned away with a blush, panting quietly.

"Good plan," Laxus said, voice also breathless. "Think it threw them off."

"Yes," Freed agreed. He couldn't look towards Laxus now. He simply couldn't. "I'm sorry for doing-"

"Don't, you did what you had to do," Laxus cut him off, voice somewhat stern, which wasn't helping the situation. "I would've done the same if I thought of it, and you fixed my fuck up. So no complaints."

"Okay," Freed didn't feel any better. He stood up and reached for his towel, still not looking at Laxus. "I think I should sit at the juice bar for a while, we've been together for long enough."

"Wait," Laxus began, shifting slightly but Freed was climbing from the hot tub before he could reach for him. "This ain't- you don't have to leave on my account."

"I'm not," Freed lied. Because of course he was. Laxus might be straight, he might not like Freed, and he might not appreciate being kissed like that at random. "If we spend all out time in the hot tub, it'll look odd. It was overdue, more so now they've seen us."

Laxus looked ready to argue, but sighed and nodded. Freed walked towards the juice bar, fighting the urge to touch his lips. Electricity danced over them.

Kissing Laxus… it felt like being struck by lightning.

I'd happily read 'DVD commentary' of all of Homecoming, but if I MUST be choosy haha, could you do the saloon scene from chapter 4?:) I guess starting from where Billy goes up to the bar, and up to when he says he'll go after Vasquez after Vasquez has stormed out!

Thanks for the ask! Twobackground comments on this extract: first, these two chapters weren’t in theoriginal plan for the fic, which was to be entirely Goody’s point of view, andit was only because wanderingsmith said that I really needed to show Billy’sperspective too that I added them – I distinctly remember whining, ‘But I don’twant to write the whole wagon train trip to Odessa!’ Though in the end I was veryglad that she pushed me into it. But because of that, chapters 3 and 4 were less plannedout than the others, and went through quite a lot of changes.

Second,I’ve been thinking a lot about dialogue recently, and have come to think that Icould do better with it than I have to date; specifically, reading otherpeople’s dialogue, I think I don’t put in enough comment on what my speakersare thinking or how they’re reacting, and this extract seems an example of whatI mean. If I had to write it again I think I’d do it differently, because I’mnot very satisfied with it now.

The first round of drinks went downeasily, the burn of the whisky as welcome as the bath, and Billy went to thebar to fetch the second.

He was standing, foot on the rail,when a voice behind him exclaimed, ‘Hey, I know you! I’d know you anywhere withthose fancy toothpicks: Rocks is the name, ain’t it?’

He tensed, bracing himself fortrouble, but the man addressing him didn’t seem threatening: he was plainlydressed, slightly flushed with drink and wearing an expression of pleasedinterest.

Asnoted above, I took a long time to decide whether Billy should actually getinto the ring to fight, or whether he should just be tempted to do so, and in the end Iwent with the latter as less distracting to the narrative. But I wanted to makethe point that Billy genuinely gets a lot of his sense of self and pride fromhis fighting abilities.

‘And?’ Billy asked warily, castinga glance back to the table where the others were sitting.

Thisis obviously playing against the expectation of ‘Billy goes into a bar and getsan unfriendly reception’.

‘My brother and I made twenty bucksbacking you in a fight, year or two ago. You’re quite the article - realquick.’ The man at his shoulder resembled him so closely that he had to be thebrother.

Therewere lots of brothers in the Old West, like Earl and his brother. I did in oneversion give them names (one was called Lyle, I think), but they faded inimportance.

‘Where was that?’ asked Billy,relaxing again.

‘Fort Verde.No, but you should have seen him,’ he remarked to the room at large, ‘it was aneducation. Texan fellow there thought he had a fast draw, but this one – youdidn’t see his hand move. And those knives …’

‘Glad I was able to help you to aprofit.’

‘Let us buy you a drink – seemsonly fair.’

‘Appreciate it, but no thanks,’said Billy, gesturing back to the table.

Yep.Not impressive. Needs more context, both exterior and interior.

‘You here to fight?’ asked thebrother eagerly. ‘Because we’d put our money on you no question.’

‘Could do,’ said Billy, glovedfists flexing unconsciously. And again he was at a loss: for all those monthshe spent suspicious and unconvinced that he needed a manager, now where wasGoody to put an arm round the man’s shoulders and hatch a plan, to set up themeet, to let him play the taciturn fighter?

Better.

‘Say though,’ said the first man,‘there’s a place out back of the horse dealer’s where they shoot targets: youcould take on the local talent there, make some money.’

‘Might be,’ he said, appraisingthem, ‘I could come, but it would pay both our advantage to keep it quiet.’

Idid like the idea of the two brothers boasting about making money from theprevious fight and thereby undermining their prospects in the current one.

‘Sure thing, Mr Rocks,’ said thefirst man, raising his glass conspiratorially.

Adverbs ...

He took the fresh bottle back tothe table to confront three pairs of accusing eyes. ‘Should you be consideringthat?’ asked Sam directly, and the assumption in the question had him bristlinginstantly.

Ihad Sam and Billy rubbing each other up the wrong way in every conversation from the moment they meetin chapter 3, and I hope it comes across that Billy’s just hopelesslyoversensitive because he feels guilty at leaving Goody behind and takeseverything Sam says the wrong way.

‘It’s how I earned my and Goody’sliving for the last six years,’ he said shortly, ‘and it’s none of yourconcern.’

‘Cuchillero, how can you take the risk?’ asked Vasquez, concern inhis eyes.

Theidea of Vasquez having a nickname for Billy I think came from Villa-Kulla, andit struck me as extremely likely, though I changed it to cuchillero(knife-fighter).

Billy smiled, showing his teeth.‘Risk? I’m the best. I’ve been in more fights than you could count and I’ve wonthem all. I know a hundred tricks to make sure I’m the man walks out of thearena alive. You can come and watch me.’

Iliked this: Billy touched on his pride. Remember that the others never knew himand Goody before, not even Sam, so they have no idea of their history.

‘Idiota,’ said Vasquez, ‘there’s always a first time.’

‘Like I said,’ Billy’s tone wasdeliberately even, ‘none of your concern.’

‘I would not be so stupid,’ hissedVasquez, ‘Joshua cannot do without me, and neither – ‘

Coulddo better with the context here again.

Billy crashed the bottle down.‘Shut up.’ Teddy looked from one to the other of them in consternation.

‘I will not. I will not carry yourcorpse home to Goodnight.’

There’sa lot packed into this line. First the practicalities: Goody worried that Billywould die on the journey, and be buried somewhere he’d never see; Vasquez showsus the other side of this concern – what would you do if your friend was killedaway from home? Second, Goody’s dreams see Billy dead through various causes(in a competition, at the river crossing), and this shows how easily they couldcome true. And obviously, Vasquez knows a lot of how bad Billy is feelingbecause he feels it himself about Faraday (though for different reasons) sohe’s overidentifying with him.

The quarrel was beginning to drawattention and Sam leaned forward to intervene. ‘Vasquez, let it go. No need tobe talking about taking corpses home.’

‘You laugh, but it is serious,’snarled Vasquez. ‘The job, it is one thing, but this?’

‘I don’t need your permission,’said Billy flatly, ‘any of you.’

‘You think it is all the same asbefore?’

Thetransition point of this argument was one I struggled with for ages. I knewwhere I wanted it to go, and I knew who said what, but it took forever to makethe two parts of the quarrel bridge from one to the other, and (again) I’mstill not entirely satisfied with it.

‘Nobody’s saying that,’ said Sam,‘but we all came through.’

‘Yes, we all lived. You were nothurt at all, and Billy is well again, and Goodnight too, and Joshua, and we areall as we were.’

‘Goody had it hard, and Faradaymost of all, everyone knows that. We all owe him. But he’s a tough man tokill.’

Context,woman! I really think this is not so good.

‘Que pendejada,’ spat Vasquez furiously, ‘you, all of you, do notsee how he is.’

Sam laughed. ‘Come on, this isJoshua Faraday we’re talking about, the man who survived being chased, shot atand then blown up: he’s a walking miracle.’

Vasquez thumped his fists on thetable, making the glasses bounce and rattle. ‘No, you do not understand. Youwill not understand. You say you are his friends, yet you close your eyes towhat is in front of you. He lost his fingers. He cannot walk withoutdifficulty. He cannot ride for a whole day. He is deaf. And he is ashamed. I doall I can to make it as it was, I tell him what he cannot hear, I built a houseto make it easy for him, I keep away the people he does not like to see him; ifI died, what would he do?’

AsI’ve said before, I really want everyone to live, but given Faraday’s recklessand selfless act, I think this is the absolute minimum injury I can get awaywith if he does recover. I know some readers find it too gloomy, but I do planto write the coda to this series to show how Faraday and Vasquez end up in ahappy-ever-after too.

The three of them stared, shockedto silence by the stark description. ‘I should not be here,’ said Vasquezheavily, standing up. ‘I wish I was not.’ And he stalked out, heads turningcuriously after him.

The noise of the bar started up againaround them, but they sat in silence until Sam said, ‘I’m a damn fool, don’tneed anyone to tell me that.’

‘He really so bad?’ asked Teddy. ‘Imean, I know how he was hurt, but he recovered, my brother Henry said he wasdoing fine.’

Thisis trying to get at the difference between what Faraday feels and how he seemsto other people; that a lot of the condescension or mockery that he thinks hesees is in fact internally-generated.

‘Goody once said to me, some paidmore than others for Rose Creek, and he was right.After he was well again, I thought it was over.’ Sam’s face was clouded. ‘I’mto blame, for not seeing how it is.’

Ihad written Winter’s Lease: Septemberalready by the time I wrote this, so the echo is a deliberate one.

‘We all are,’ said Billy, pushinghis glass away untouched. ‘I’ll talk to him.’

…and the lead in to the scene that I always knew was coming: Billy and Vasquezsharing cigarettes in a hotel room, to match the intimacy of Goody and Faradaysleeping in the same bed.

So,overall, B-: could do better!

The Akatsuki members as high-school students

Has this been done before? Probably! Do I care? No, because these are my terrible headcanons and nobody can take them from me.

A/N: This has been in my drafts for a long time, probably since early February. I’ve been lacking motivation to do anything at all for months and lo and behold, I find this basically finished piece bar one character. I really, really want to start writing again but I’m struggling to think of ideas, so if you have any requests for future headcanons/one shots/etc feel free to slide me a message or something :)

He's definitely the generic super intelligent kid who gets straight A's in pretty much every subject. All of his notes are really well organised, he keeps bullet journals and everything is colour coded - mans notes are literal art. His handwriting is definitely beautiful, we're talking professional calligrapher here.

All of his equipment is immaculate, he cries if one of his books gets a crease or something on it somehow. If you accidentally nudge him or ruin his notes he will silently hold a grudge against you forever - he probably won't act on his grudge though, he just wants to blend in and he dislikes conflict in general.

Despite being fully aware of his intelligence he hardly ever speaks up in classes. He only really speaks when spoken to and so is renown as the token quiet kid. I also envision him as being super pretentious, although he doesn't show it he definitely thinks he's better than everyone else.

His favourite subject would be English because he enjoys analysing anything and everything. If you're friends with him he will make comments on how random pieces of media etc. are a representation of -insert important world issue or theory.- He'd also like art despite it being the only subject he's not very good at. All his art is abstract, he will draw a pink square and claim it represents a patriarchal society.

Doesn't have many friends because he isn't very talkative, spends most of his time at school alone doing schoolwork. Sees school purely as an educational setting and so doesn't see the point in making an attempt to be social.

All of his school equipment looks like it's been mauled by 300 dogs because its all second/third/fourth+ hand. Man would never pay full price for a textbook. He definitely steals all the faculty equipment too. You could fill an entire room with the amount of stationary this man has but he will NEVER lend it to anyone else. If he does lend you something it's because its either A) broken B) barely functional (so like pens which can write 2 letters before running out) or C) you're giving him something better in return/paying for it (even then he'll probably take whatever he lent you back without you realising)

He also definitely runs mini-shops in school where he'll sell stolen equipment and things like sweets/chewing gum/trendy items (he made bank when fidget spinners were a thing) for like triple what they're actually worth.

His favourite subject is definitely history (He's a crusty dusty old man so of course) but he will never admit this. He takes business and economics but hates them, he's already done all of his own research into the subjects and is only doing them to get the qualification. Definitely complains about how he already knows it all already and it's a waste of time for him to learn it again. His only conversation topic is him talking about how he's going to set up his own business as soon as he leaves school.

Is very intelligent but only gets average grades in most subjects because he refuses to try if he dislikes the subject or sees it as a waste of time.

Watched DeathNote once and now thinks he's an actual real life version of Light Yagame. Carries around his own DeathNote and threatens to write people's name in it.

Convinced that he's been bestowed with supernatural powers, whenever he speaks he does lots of flashy hand gestures, - think generic cool-dude protagonist poses - these change depending on what piece of media he's currently obsessed with. His personality also changes alongside the poses.

Basically what I'm trying to say is he's the over-saturated 'weird anime kid' with a touch of superiority complex. Although, he's super confident and has absolutely 0 shame in this fact.

Bless his little heart, he loves writing but is the definition of 'uses complicated words without knowing what they mean'. He's still decently smart though. His grades would probably be pretty average because he struggles to apply himself properly. His favourite subject would definitely be something like sociology where he can freely express his profound ideas, even if some of them are completely god awful. He'd also enjoy any subject which gives him creative freedom such as art or English.

Cannot see this lad as anything but a jock. He loves sports, lives and breathes them. He's probably a member of practically every single sports team and is surviving on the basis he has a sports scholarship of some kind.

Despite him being a jock he'd be the most approachable out of all the Akatsuki members. He's the kind of guy who no matter who you are he'd always be happy to crack jokes and talk with you. He definitely brings in way too much food, he's that dude who brings a whole mini banquet to school every day for no discernible reason. He's always happy to share though, he's definitely the kind of guy who if he saw someone sat by themselves at lunch he'd sit with them and offer them food.

His grades would be a little on the lower side because most of his free time is taken up with all his sports, however, he'd still work hard at his academics regardless. If anything this man is probably the most dedicated, he would hate the fact that he's falling behind all his classmates but at the same time would rather die than give up any of his extracurricular activities.

He'd be fairly popular because of his naturally easygoing and humorous nature, but people would rarely ever invite him to events as they'd just assume he was busy.

Konan is an absolute babe, the kindest and most caring person in the whole school. Forgotten your lunch? She'll buy you some or give you her own. Didn't do your homework? Bitch will give you hers to copy, if it's an essay or something she'll sit with you and help you write it. Looking a little upset? Konan's right there to try and cheer you up even if you aren't friends.

Despite how wonderful and 100/10 a person she is she probably won't have many close friends. She'll get used a lot by others who take advantage of her good nature. She's smart enough to know what they're doing but she doesn't care, she's happy to be of help to anyone even if they don't appreciate it.

She's a bit of a teachers pet though, she's on super good terms with every teacher in the school even if she doesn't take the subjects they teach. Most of her breaks/lunches would be taken up by her helping with display boards or whatever.

Her favourite subject would be geography, she'd really enjoy learning about different cultures and societies. I can see her just really enjoying learning about how rivers are formed and stuff like that as well. Her least favourite would be something like math which is only fact based, she enjoys being able to look at things from different perspectives.

Also bitch would bake all the time, literally every lesson she'd whip out a box of cakes/cookies/anything else she'd baked the night before to share with the whole class.

Carries knives around with him because he thinks they make him look cool. He can and will whip one out at any given opportunity so he can flex a knife trick on you. His knife tricks suck though, he always drops them or cuts himself, if you try and walk away he'll beg you to stay claiming that fortieth time's the charm or something.

He never shows up to lessons, he doesn't even know what one is. If you ever ask him what subjects he takes he'll look at you blankly and ask what you mean. If he ever is in a lesson it's because he was dragged there by a member of staff. Honestly, the few lessons he's actually present for are so chaotic teachers find themselves praying he doesn't show up. Being as he never willingly shows up he'll never know what subject it is, and he'll ask insanely bizarre questions un-ironically because he gives no fucks and has no idea what is happening. For example, you'll be learning about arteries in biology and he'll ask something like "What ingredients do we need?" because he'll have confused arteries with artichoke and think he's in a home economics lesson.

Despite being the weird knife kid he's pretty popular, he's so completely brain dead and unaware of his surroundings that its impossible not to get along with him. He doesn't have the critical thought to bully anyone and so even if he tries to be horrible it always comes off as though he's just trying to be funny.

Oh dear oh lord what can I say about Zetsu? Zetsu is an absolute shit show of a student. Black Zetsu I can see as being very academic focussed, with their favourite subjects being religion, politics and some form of economics. I imagine they’d be very active within school politics/religious scenes, probably the head of some sort of group for both.

Black Zetsu would also be interested in applying for positions such as Head of Year, Class Representative and anything similar. They’re a big control freak and as a result have basically 0 friends. People would find them overbearing and awful to be around. They’re the incredibly opinionated kid who dismisses anything which they don’t personally agree with.

White Zetsu on the over hand, hoo boy. Class clown obviously. The living bane of Black Zetsu. If Black Zetsu wants class representative then you know people will vote for white Zetsu instead because he’s infinitely more popular. He’s incredibly weird but in such an innocent and goofy way they’d have a large group of friends. They wouldn’t be popular per say, but they’d be friends with practically everyone.

Their favourite subject would probably be biology because sex jokes, but I also think they’d enjoy English because uhh… Sex jokes. I just can’t see White Zetsu taking school even slightly seriously.

He basically lives in the art department. If you walk near him he will tag along and start talking to you about art, it doesn’t matter who you are you will be forced to listen to his speech.

Incredibly confident and has no issue starting a conversation with anyone. He's definitely the type of person who every time you see him he'd be with a completely different group of people, whether they want him there or not.

Despite his weird constant art rants he'd be the life and soul of the party. He's always fun to be around purely because of how much energy he has. He'd be the kid who makes everyone laugh completely on accident, although people would probably be laughing more at him than with him.

He'd probably get invited to lots of places by other kids just so he could be the butt of every joke. He wouldn't mind though, he'd brush it off and probably enjoy the attention he gets from it.

Most of his friends would end up being people who know nothing about art though, all the students who participated in any artistic subjects would stay far away in fear of him starting another argument about art.

If the art class ever does clay his has to be put in the kiln separately because it always blows up. He also has a habit of 'accidentally' damaging other people's art if he dislikes it. Eventually he would mellow out and start appreciating other forms.

Nobody knows who he is, people will have sat next to him for years and won't even know his name. The amount of times his name is called in the register and people will pipe up with "who's that?" or "didn't he move to another school?" is genuinely concerning. He doesn't care though, he'd rather go through school completely unnoticed.

Excels at all subjects (besides sports, he's never showed up to a PE lesson because of 'health reasons') despite putting very little effort into academics. His favourite subjects would be biology and math. He'd absolutely hate art as a subject, preferring to do art in his free time rather than make it into a chore at school. He'd have been put in Deidara's class at least once and it would have completely ruined all enjoyment of art as a subject for him. He'd also hate any subjects which prompt discussion such as English or sociology, he doesn't have any opinions on them and he doesn't care to listen to anyone else's.

Honestly, dude is the definition of a background character at school. He just simply does not exist, and I have mad respect for him. On the off chance anyone even tried to speak to him he'd probably completely ignore them, the only communication he has at school is through emails with teachers. He has 0 interest in making friends when they have nothing in common with him.

Another character sort of hard to pinpoint. He’d probably be somewhat similar to White Zetsu, but not quite as popular. He’d be a right teachers pet, with few friends his own age. He’d probably spend spend all his breaks and lunches with teachers in their classrooms, offering to help them with display boards etc.

Despite being a teachers pet he wouldn’t be academic whatsoever. He’d always try his best but bless him, he’s terrible at every subject and ends up constantly making a fool of himself. He’s definitely the sort to raise his hand to make a really great point, but his really great point is basically repeating the lesson objective. When studying of mice of men he definitely asked “what’s the name of Curly’s wife’s husband?”

His favourite subject, regardless of his ineptitude would be drama. He’d always be the most melodramatic and over the top in every character he played, not really caring what other people thought of him. In fact, that’s probably his best feature. Despite his lack of popularity he’d always unapologetically be himself, his goofy and over the top self.

SPOILERS AHEAD:

If we’re thinking more about Obito, I’d like to imagine for the sake of this headcanon Tobi is what he’s like during lower school years and then suddenly one summer he comes back and he’s completely matured into this foreign character unrecognisable to nobody.

He’d become incredibly serious, forgoing the role of energetic teachers pet to a much more muted one. He’d still be just as terrible at all his lessons, and still spend most of his time around teachers rather than others his age but he’d no longer have that fun spark. He’d probably start caring greatly about what people thought of him so his latter years would be trying to stay under the radar completely.
