A Promised Princess

pairing: toji fushiguro x f!reader (x gojo satoru)

synopsis: after a knowing one another for two years, toji fushiguro (known as toji zenin in this case), must leave for war in the east. a rebel known as ryomen sukuna, plans to terrorize and eliminate the clans that make up the 4 wings (gojo’s, zenin’s, kamos, and the hirata). upon leaving for war, you promise something any powerful man, even the most vengeful of men, would kill for.

a/n: okay hear me out- yes, this is somewhat written in 3rd pov, but I also want to make note that the historical accuracies and etiquette between japanese/anglo-europe will be very mixed. so if this bothers you, you have been warned. I was just dying to write something like this. please let me know in the comments if you would like to be in the tag list if I ever make a part two (which seems probable).

tags: kingdom au, mentions of war, secret romance, indirect mentions of virginity, and established romance

The carriage rolls around the block twice. No hesitation from the driver, as he exclusively follows his master’s orders: do not stop until the candlelight on the third floor is off.

A young woman, no older than 19, rushes through the gardens into the woods. Her cloak follows her movements with grace so as to not cause commotion and her breathing is but a hitch.

“I came as fast as I could,” he tells her.

“And I read your letter.” Answers she, “What was so urgent you needed to discuss with me at this hour?”

Prince Toji Fushiguro, 21, future heir to the Zenin throne stops in his tracks. His hands, which were on top her shoulders fall to her sides, a formality of which the two of them dropped several months into knowing one another.

He tries to think of something that will relieve the weight on his heart. Her lips, soft as flower buds from her garden, or her hair, as angelic that it frames her face; Toji finds refuge in her eyes.

“A war suddenly erupted in the east.” He says, the script that he had received earlier that morning engraved into his memory, “300 casualties have occurred since, and we worry there may be more.”

He had told her days prior of a rebel named Ryomen Sukuna who had gathered support from locals in a short amount of time. He criticized the regions, the regime, and their incompetence towards the common folk. Something Toji didn’t take lightly.

If he keeps up at this pace, he told her, bodies snug around one another under an oak tree, he could disrupt several cities, trading ports, and harm civilians.

“So you’re leaving.”

“Only for a short time,” he promises, hands wrapped securely around her own before he places a kiss to them. Within the two years of knowing one another, who would have thought that the son of a Zenin could hold so much consideration, devotion to their counterpart.

“If everything goes as planned, I’ll be back in 6 month’s time.”

“Still,” she frowns, “6 months is too long.”

“better that than never.” He closes off the distance between them. “Promise me one thing.” he asks.

“Anything.”

“Promise me that you’ll wait for me,” he whispers against the crown of her head, “that when I return, I will become yours, and you mine.”

“I promise.” she replies.

“Promise me that no man will stand between us. That you will vow your loyalty, your honor to me and only me.”

She holds his hand tighter against her chest. “It’s always been you, Toji.”

Satisfied, the heir to the Zenin clan seals their promise in a deep, prolonged kiss. Hungry, needy, and already missing one another, both pairs of hands run through one another before both clans leave their respective routes.

hopeful for the future.

moment 10 · ͟͟͞͞➳❥ hiyori shiina x gn!reader

word count: 1.5k

content: no light novel spoilers, fluff

navigation | event masterlist

humans are competitors by nature. prey and predator, to gain an advantage means for another to fall to a disadvantage. by any means, people fight their way to the top.

at the tokyo metropolitan advanced nurturing high school, classes have to fight their way to the top; they have to battle the other classes in order to graduate. class a, the highest class in each grade, is the only class able to graduate and receive the benefits of graduates— 100% guaranteed employment and college entry to any place.

however, fighting for the opportunity to be in class a was harder than everyone initially thought. those who were already in class a had a major advantage simply because they were class a.

the school’s class ranking system goes from a to d, a being the best and d being the worst. upon enrollment, you were placed in class d. in a class filled with the lowest of the low in the entire school, it was hard to rise to the top.

to most, you were inefficient just because you were class d. it was strange because everyone had flaws, yet the people in your class were deemed the ones who had it the worst.

you had classmates who would honestly fit the role of an outstanding student, such as yosuke hirata and suzune horikita, the class representatives. it made no sense for them to be in your class. they were living and walking proof that not everyone in your class was what they were made to be.

due to the standing of your class, it was hard to make friends in other classes. you weren’t sociable like kikyo kushida, and you didn’t participate in clubs you’d meet other people in like hirata. so you stuck to the people in your class, making acquaintances and friends with a few.

when you didn’t talk with them, you indulged yourself in reading, a way to relax and pass time when you weren’t doing homework. you often found yourself in the library, the place where you first met hiyori shiina.

you remember that meeting well. after all, it was the event that changed the course of your high school life.

it happened to be busy in the library that day. you first years had the paper shuffle exam soon, hence why the library was busy. students were cramming info into their brains, but what they were studying might not even help.

with other classes being the ones to make the exam questions, there was no telling what kind of content you would have to study. confident in your academic abilities and satisfied with some extra studying you did, you sat in the library for your own leisure.

you made sure to sit at the end of a table in case anyone else needed the space. you were unsure of how much time passed until a girl pulled out a chair. it was across from you and two seats away, but you could see her in your peripheral vision.

like you, she took out her own book and began to read it. though, you weren’t sure if she was actually reading it based on how she cast a glance at you every once in a while.

you placed a bookmark in your book before you met her glance. realizing she had been caught, the light-haired girl’s eyes traveled to your book.

“i noticed that you keep looking over. if you want to tell me something, then go ahead,” you told her. your words came out blunter than intended.

“o-oh,” the girl’s hands traveled to her lap, “i just noticed the book you were reading. it’s a great mystery, and the author is one of my favorites. they write splendidly.”

“you’re not wrong about how they right. i like how scattered it is, actually. it makes me think that i can read the chapters in any order and end up with the same result.”

“that was the true intention of the author, actually! this book was her final, so she wanted to write the best book she could. her wish became true because it became her best-selling novel, and it’s my favorite mystery. i’ve read it over multiple times, and i always happen to find something new!”

as this girl rambled to you, you recognized her as one of the students in class c. after seeing how most of class c acted, violent and rude, you didn’t expect to remember that this soft-spoken student would be in the same class.

you didn’t bring up the fact that you recognized her, “you know a lot about this book and the author. you must be a big fan.”

she smiled at you, “i am, yes. i love to read, and this library has become a second home to me. it’s like a whole new world to discover here. it’s unfortunate that i can barely find anyone to talk to books about. my classmates in class c, the people i am around most, don’t share the interests in books that i have. so i’m sorry for getting carried away, (l/n)-san. i tend to get really happy when talking about books!”

“don’t worry about it,” you waved your hand and smiled. “but hey, how do you know my name?”

“i happened to be standing in the hallway when ayanokouji-kun once called out to you. oh! let me first introduce myself. shiina hiyori, class c.”

hiyori’s arm stretched out so that her pale hand was right in front of you. you lifted your own hand off of the desk, shaking it with hers.

fate wasn’t something you originally believed, but meeting hiyori made you think differently. hiyori sat at the table you did before she even knew you were reading one of her favorite novels of all time. it couldn’t have been a mere coincidence.

you two left the library together and went your separate ways after reaching the lobby of the dorms. before hiyori watched you walk into the elevator, you gave her your number. simple texts turned into long conversations, long conversations into phone calls, phone calls into video calls, and so on.

there was something about the two of you that just clicked. before it even became official between the two of you, dating rumors had already spread throughout the school.

you guys often walked each other to class, ate your lunch together, and even hung out after school. it was impossible to prevent rumors after being seen together in public many times.

however, neither of you ever responded to them. some fell to believe that the two of you were already dating at that time, some thought it wasn’t true, and the rest had already forgotten about the subject.

everything would resurface on valentine’s day.

the 14th of february was quite a big deal around the school. boys and girls flocked together into different groups as if they were different cliques. pairs that were already dating took their chances to be near each other, either being thought of as cute or annoying (by those who were jealous).

you would’ve walked with hiyori to the school if it weren’t for the fact that she promised to meet with a friend before school started. so because how the two of you were in different classes, you would only see her at lunchtime.

classes ended and, immediately, people rushed into their groups. you found hirata at the other side of the classroom surrounded by girls. some of them weren’t even in your class, which made you wonder how they got here so fast.

you were already going to head to the cafeteria when kiyotaka ayanokouji, the boy you talked to sometimes because he sat behind you, spoke to you. he said, “hiyori-san is here for you.”

you cast him a glance before taking a look at the classroom door in the back. true to his word, hiyori stood there with a small bag in her hand. she was aware of everyone’s gazes, but she continued to walk in your direction.

“(y/n)! ayanokouji-kun! good, you’re in the same spot,” she smiled.

you resisted the urge to stand right next to her while she took out two boxes of chocolates. it was quite easy to tell the difference between the two, one was for a friend, and the other for someone she liked.

hiyori handed ayanokouji the red square-shaped box and you the pink heart-shaped one. you knew ayanokouji was looking at you, but you didn’t dare to meet his eye. you were sure that he, and every other person watching, had put some of the puzzle pieces together.

the brunette dismissed himself to avoid any more attention.

“i thought we’d meet at the cafeteria?” you spoke with hiyori in a quiet voice.

she nervously laughed, “sorry, i thought this would be a good time to give ayanokouji-kun his chocolates as well. i also wanted to walk with you, if you didn’t mind.”

unable to resist the sweet girl, you let her grab your free hand. she gently gave you three squeezes, a silent message just for you.

‘i love you’

note: i definitely think we need more cote content because it’s amazing, really. hiyori is best girl btw, and she deserves all the love ❤️❤️

please reblog for more!

Can I request headcanons of bf!Nico chan senpai please? Both fluffy sfw and nsfw (his kinks lmao)? Thank you!!!!

I… can’t believe that I haven’t written any kink headcanons for Nico-senpai. It’s a crime, a genuine criminal action.

I know it’s been a long time done this was sent in but I hope you enjoy, thank you for requesting. 🤍

Nothing too steamy but NSFW will be under the cut.

At first glance, Akihiro seems to be too lazy and aloof to care for a relationship. But contrary to how he approaches most things in his life, he views whoever he’s in a relationship with as if they were actual royalty

At the drop of a dime, he would do anything for them (within reason of course)

He’s given up on something he loved in the past already, and knew how big of a mistake that was, so when he feels that he’s genuinely in love with someone, there’s nothing that could make him give up on them

His laziness seeps in one way or another, especially when he insists that a night in is much better than going out (and as his s/o, you’d often agree)

He’s secretly overly protective of his partner, and always has some form of a watchful eye on them

Rarely does he get jealous but when he does, it’s so obvious. He’s the King of the cold shoulder, but tends to falter in his determination to use it when it comes to his s/o

“Aki~ you’re not mad at me again, are you?”

He couldn’t resist the poutful look in your eyes or the way you puffed your bottom lip out at him. How could he stay mad at you?

“Not anymore, I guess,” he’d mumble, admitting defeat.

Akihiro is the type to allow himself to get dragged around if his s/o insisted, of course complaining a bit along the way

Ultimately he cares the most about his s/o’s happiness, even if it meant that he exerts a little more energy than he’d like

(NSFW)

When it comes to being intimate, Akihiro is a slow lover, possibly due to his laid back personality or the fact that he loves watching his s/o writhe under his touch and attention

There’s nothing else that he loves more than slowly working along his s/o’s skin, his fingertips barely ghosting along it and watching as goosebumps form in his trails

Slow, touchy make outs are his favorite. Cuddled against each other in his bed or the couch, his hands dancing their way across his s/o’s skin, it being so easy to tease and rile them up, it’s what he imagines late at night, and often when he goes long times without seeing them

“Stop teasing, Akihiro.”

He’d chuckle, nibbling on your lower lip lightly as his hands continue to trail along your thighs, teasingly ghosting along the inner part before trailing back up your stomach.

“I missed you,” he whispered against your lips, one of his hands coming to cup your cheek. “Let me just hold you for a bit, okay?”

A slow build up and a fast unravel is his specialty, and he loves working his magic on his s/o

Ultimately, he always makes sure his s/o is pleased but not until he gets his fill of them first

Hiya! Could I request some dating headcanons for Yuki, Nico-Chan Senpai, and Youhei from RWTW please? I’m surprised someone is actually writing for this anime!

Thank you for so much for requesting! Also, the lack of writing for RWTW actually encouraged me the most to create a blog. We just need more content about the best boys! I hope you enjoy these!

Yukihiko Iwakura (Yuki)

Let’s be honest here, you probably wouldn’t like him, at first. He’s quick and sharp with his words, prone to bickering, and overall his outer shell is just a bit harder than others.

The two of you would probably meet through a mutual friend, and it takes multiple meetings and outings for you to warm up to his quick-witted nature, but once you do, it’s game over.

Not only does his smarts intrigue you, it’s his determination. It’s just simply admirable how when he puts his mind to something he always completes it.

Your relationship would be filled with playful banter, the two of you would definitely be the couple that has to debate everything. Honestly, to strangers it might be exhausting but to him and you, it’s exhilarating. You just love the way his eyes light up when you provoke him, and he loves the way you can counter him in a split second.

Your dates are of the traditional sense, such as going to dinners, zoos, amusement parks, etc. He would snark you about it of course, but he would love doing these things with you. It made him feel giddy to have a partner to do things with, yet don’t expect too much PDA from him.

His love language is definitely gift giving as he is not the best at expressing his emotions. It might not always be grand gifts or gestures, but he’ll always bring over your favorite snacks or drink when he sleeps over. Or if he sees something that reminds you of him, he gives it to you.

Akihiro Hirata (Nico-Senpai)

Honestly, you would wake up one day and realize somehow you managed to get into a relationship with an actual teddy bear.

Seriously, if anyone asked you how the two of you got together, you wouldn’t be able to answer because one minute the two of you were friends, and the next you were dating Nico.

This is not to say that he moves fast with relationships; No, he just has a way of making others around him feel at ease and open up.

The two of you wouldn’t have “traditional” dates per say. If you are into that sort of thing, he would try and make a compromise--but honestly he’s just content with spending a night in with you in his arms.

Speaking of nights in, Quality time and physical touch is definitely his love language. You’re that couple that is somehow always seen together despite having different schedules. Seriously, He’s just content with being in your presence, no matter what you’re doing. He also seems to always have his hands on you no matter what. Whether it’s to simply hold your hand, he just likes being close to you.

He’s probably your number one supporter. He’s the type to listen to his partner no matter how exhausted he is, if you need an ear, he’s always there to lend his. (Honestly he probably would know you better than you know yourself)

Yōhei Sakaguchi (King)

You’re probably close friends before the two of you began to date, and honestly, if you hadn’t confessed, the two of you probably would’ve just stayed friends.

Not because He didn’t like you, no on the contrary, He probably was the first to develop romantic feelings. It’s just that he has a tendency to overthink, internalize, and self-depreciate. So he’d most likely talk himself out of asking you out.

Yet, when you came to him with flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes, confessing that you had romantic feelings for him, and that you wanted to date him, he was sure he was stuck in a dream because of how ecstatic he was.

Your relationship develops at it’s own pace. You might reach ‘milestones’ slower than a typical relationship, but there is never a moment when King lets you feel underappreciated or unloved

TBH his main love language might be Words of Affirmation. So while he isn’t the best at completely opening up to others, he knows how it feels to fall into the pattern of doubt, so he wouldn’t want that to happen with your relationship.

Shares every bit of Trivia he learns with you. As it is one of his main hobbies, he would definitely just randomly message you with little facts throughout the day. It might seem weird to others, but to you, it’s just a sign that you’re somehow always on his mind.

The nico chan "Do you like me?" Was number 48, sorry.

Hirata Akihiro:

“Do you like me?”

It was an innocent enough question, one that should be very easy to answer, and yet he’s sweating bullets as you look at him. Akihiro knows he won’t be getting out of this one, and he feels almost like a teenager again, squirming under your gaze. Shouldn’t he just take the chance now that it was being presented to him and confess how he felt?

“Of course I like you.”

Now it was your turn to come up with something to say and you were drawing a blank, head tilting as you looked at him. Your eyes felt like they were directly piercing his soul and he began to rub the back of his neck nervously, feeling like you were some sort of police interrogator and he was about to be put on death row if he didn’t answer your questions adequately enough. Your face, which had remained expressionless for the duration of your question and his answer, suddenly broke out into a smile.

“Thanks, that’s all I wanted to know.” You turned to leave but he can’t help but reach out to stop you, his heart doing flips in his chest as you turn back to face him.

“That’s- That’s all you wanted to know?”

“Did you have anything else to add to your answer?” You asked, sounding much like a school teacher who was baiting him into giving a more satisfactory answer in class.

You’d cornered him again.

How long could this song and dance continue?

Craving a little angst here. How about a fight with the babies, Haiji/Yuki/Akihiro and how they’d try to patch things up? Also are you by any chance swamped with requests? Can’t help but think that you are with how amazing your blog is. I have so many things in mind to request but don’t want to spam your inbox and overwhelm you. (*´-`)

Aww! Thank you so much for asking! It’s super sweet to know that ya care, but I’m not swamped with requests at all! I’m a little slow at them since my life’s been a bit topsy turvy lately but I’m doing my best to get em done! After I have this posted I should have about 11 or so request left that I’m hoping to get done soon so I can reopen my ask box!

____________________________________

Haiji Kiyose:

The fight between you two would have started with you telling him he was pushing himself too hard. Everyday you would watch him running and for a while you were happy to see that he was getting back into it, but it wasn’t long before you saw the toll it was taking on him. After he would come back from running you could see that it was putting too much strain on his knee, redness outlining his scar preventing him from putting too much weight on it. Despite the smile he had on his face, you could see that he was in pain but you both knew that this wouldn’t stop him from running, not when he was so close to getting back to how he was before. When you finally told him your concerns, he didn’t take it in the way you had expected him to. Instead he was outraged, angry at you for trying to tell him to stop when he was so clearly getting better and better everyday. He would hardly let you get a word in after that as he told you that you had stopped supporting him after he had gotten hurt, that you no longer saw success in him after he had been reduced to almost nothing. Even when he saw tears pouring down your cheeks he didn’t stop laying it into you, going on and on about your lack of support. Eventually he would tell you to leave, that he didn’t need someone so negative in his life and soon resulting in you leaving without another word.

It would take him a few days being as hardened as he is, but he will eventually come to realize that he had taken things to far, disgusted with himself for having said all those things to you. His heart would grow hard and heavy in his chest as he remembered how he had made you cry and twisted your concerns and worries over him into something so negative. He would want to fix things as soon as possible, composing himself and setting out to find you to make things right between you both. He would show up to your dorm room, a bouquet of your favorite flowers in one hand and a box of your favorite chocolate in the other and behind him, your entire dorm hall would be filled with gifts and snacks he had bought just for you. Seeing it all there would surprise you, but what would really do it in for you would be seeing Haiji’s tear stained face trying to pull itself together to form a smile at you. Listening to him apologize and call himself a fool for having treated you like that after all you had wanted to do was share your worries with him would make your heart melt, all the anger you had felt for him slowly fading away. You’d have to stop him from continuing to speak badly of himself, telling him that you forgave him and bringing him in for a tender hug.

Iwakura Yukihiko:

The fight between you both would have been about him being jealous of you hanging out with the twins more often lately and him distancing himself from you instead of voicing what had been bothering him. One day he would just blow up when you said you were going to the arcade with the twins, asking you if you would rather be their little girlfriend instead of his, leaving you confused as to where this outburst had come from. He’d carry on in his outburst, saying that he hated the way it seemed that you would rather be around those two instead of him, telling you how shitty it felt to be lonely even when he had a girlfriend all because she wanted to hang out with someone else. Initially you would feel terrible for making him feel this way, telling him that you had no idea he felt this way since he had never mentioned it before. However, this would only make things worse, for he would tell you that he would speak up more if you just took the time to listen. Hearing him saying that would be almost laughable since he never voiced things that bothered him or talked to you about how he was really feeling. For a while, you both would go back and forth before finally settling on not speaking to each other, both of you going separate ways.

Getting back together would take a bit of time since Yuki is a pretty stubborn guy. For a while he would think that he was the one who was being the victim here and that you were in the wrong, but eventually he will come to realize that wasn’t the case at all. He would feel so bad for having things spiral out of control like this, wanting nothing more than to see you and hold you in his arms. Eventually he will end up texting you, telling you that he wanted to talk, but only to have you ignore him. He had even tried calling you, but was only ever sent back to your voicemail. Having you ignore him like this would send him in such a panic. He would be frantic, telling himself he had really screwed up one of the best things that have ever happened to him over some petty fight, but he couldn’t end things like this. With tears in his eyes and shoulders slumped, he would come to your dorm room, trying so hard to keep his crying at bay but failing so miserably. Seeing him like this would make your heart shatter but you held your ground, waiting for him to explain why he was here. He would tell you that he wanted to talk, to say sorry and get you back between his sobs. Only then would you let him into your dorm room to do so, wrapping your arms around him and listening to him as he apologized to you.

Hirata Akihiro:

Fights between you and Akihiro are next to non-existent so I really don’t see this getting too angsty for him. Overall, Akihiro is a pretty calm dude, usually being one to voice when something upsets him but never making too much of a big deal out of it. If there is ever a problem between you both, he would be quick to squash it right then and there, not wanting to have bad blood between the both of you. However, if a time does arise where you both are mad at each other and refuse to speak to one another, it will never last long and will never cause any serious strain to your relationship.

When he is trying to patch things up between you both, he usually does so in a way that makes it seem as though you both were never arguing in the first place. He will find you either in your dorm room or out somewhere on campus and talk to you calmly and addressing you lovingly like he normally would. He wouldn’t necessarily annoy you by being overly chatty or affectionate either. He just lets things flow naturally and if you don’t reply to him, that’s okay, he’ll just ask you a question or two every now and again until he gets a reply out of you or will pop a few jokes here and there to hear you laugh. If he is really fishing for your attention, he will buy your favorite food and pretend to eat it before saying that he can’t finish it and will simply wait for you to ask him if you can have it, giving him a window to talk to you and get you to stop being mad at him.

Persona Lite with Fire Emblem sprinkles on top

I’ve been addicted to Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore on my Switch for the past few weeks, and I’m getting close to wrapping it up. I figured it’s high time I talked about it a bit.

The game that would become Tokyo Mirage Sessions (TMS) was first announced as “Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem,” which is absolutely not a good way to describe what this became.

This title led so many people astray.

What comes to mind when you think of (mainline) Shin Megami Tensei games? An apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic setting. First-person-perspective battles. Negotiating with demons. Battles against deities. TMS contains a little bit of the third thing on that list, and none of the others.

What comes to mind when you think of Fire Emblem? Medieval-era settings. Permadeath (either optional or mandatory). RTS-style combat. The famed “weapon triangle.” Support conversations. TMS contains the fourth thing on that list, and none of the others.

But let’s be honest here: For most people (especially Westerners), the first thing you think of when you think about Shin Megami Tensei isn’t even the games with “Shin Megami Tensei” in the title. It’s the Persona series! They’ve grown far more popular than their parent franchise at this point.

So I suppose it was natural that TMS is, at its core, a “Persona Lite” game. The darker edges of Persona titles are removed in favor of something more T-friendly, but the basics are all there: A group of teenagers in modern-day Japan discover a strange alternate dimension that they can access which also gives them the ability to summon supernatural powers/entities. When people start to go missing in this other dimension, it falls to this group of teens to unite and save the day, ultimately leading to them discovering the reason why this alternate world has been bleeding into modern Japan in the first place and, in the end, saving humanity from annihilation. That’s totally how Persona works, and it’s also totally how Tokyo Mirage Sessions works!

However, instead of summoning Shin Megami Tensei demons as “Personas,” the heroes of TMS summon Fire Emblem characters that are “Mirages.” Each character is permanently linked to a single Mirage, so there are no “Wild Card” characters here. However, you can level the characters’ mirages up to make them take on new forms and new abilities. FE fans will notice that all of the characters here are from the Falchion/Tiki/Shadow Dragon stories - the two Marth adventures (Shadow Dragon/Mystery of the Emblem) and the semi-recent 3DS hit Awakening.

For some weird reason, all of the Fire Emblem “mirages” wear helmets, masks, or other face coverings 100% of the time. The only exception is Tiki.

The lack of the darker themes in many Persona games and the fact that there’s no “Wild Card” to manage is what makes this, in my opinion, more like PERSONA LITE. And then you get your Fire Emblem backup characters to serve as extra flavoring. The characters we meet from Fire Emblem are rarely the focus — you spend most of your time with the teen heroes — but they still manage to show off their unique personalities and carry in a load of FE fanservice. (The good kind of fanservice where it’s full of references and nods to the continuity of the series, I mean. Not the other kind where it’s softcore porn.)

Fire Emblem fanservice was one of the biggest delights for me here. If you’re looking for any SMT/Persona characters to pop up and link the continuity together, you can stop looking because they aren’t here. But if you want to see specific characters from the three source FE games pop up here, a metric ton manage to do so. For example: Tharja (from Awakening) creates two golems for training purposes, which she names Bord and Cord after the pair of heroes from Marth’s era. And then the actual spirits of Bord and Cord possess those golems. So naturally, they start bickering and fighting. It’s delightful.

So yeah, there’s plenty of nods for FE fans to appreciate even if your favorite characters are taking a back seat to a bunch of teenagers. Fire Emblem fans will recognize the heroic mirages, the enemy boss mirages, the weapon triangle weakness/strength system and lots of musical cues. On the flip side, Persona fans will recognize the story structure, the magic spells the characters wield (things like “Mazio” and “Diarama” and “Rakukaja”), the common enemies you encounter and cameos from a few of the more famous demons found on signage around Tokyo. Sadly, there are no familiar sounds or music pieces borrowed from SMT/Persona that I noticed.

In addition to the main story, there are also “Side Stories” for your party and side quests from various NPCs. The whole game lasts around 50 hours even if you aren’t trying to 100% it.

And while the music here is mostly pretty good — especially the Fire Emblem themes — I really wish we’d gotten some Persona-style tunes in here. Persona soundtracks are absolutely killer and everybody knows it. I wanted to hear some Shihoko Hirata, some Lotus Juice, some Yumi Kawamura, some Lyn Inaizumi. Alas, that never happens. Sad face.

In fact, as far as vocal tracks go, you’ll only be hearing the performances of the main characters. See, the story this time revolves around a group of teens who are hired by a talent agency to become young starlets of the stage and screen. You meet plenty of pop idols, a cooking show host, aspiring actors, and those who do combinations of the above. There’s a lot of focus on the Japanese entertainment industry, and it’s mostly a very positive portrayal about how hard teen stars work to reach their dreams and how fulfilling it can be when they express themselves through their artistic pursuits. Speaking as someone who legitimately does not care one iota about the idol industry in Japan or Asia as a whole, I’m very happy that these characters managed to remain likable and their pursuits stayed enjoyable throughout. No one here is an ultra-deep character, but no one here is a total cipher, either. I’m additionally thankful that the vocal songs are another highlight of the soundtrack alongside the FE tunes.

The last thing I’ll bring up is the “Sessions” mentioned in the title. It’s a battle mechanic wherein striking an enemy with a weapon or element they’re weak to will enable other characters to start jumping in with follow-up attacks. At first, it’s just one or two follow-ups, but by the game’s end, you might be sitting there for 15 or more consecutive strikes on an enemy after you initiate a “Session” of follow-ups. The greatest quality-of-life improvement built into this Switch port is that you can turn on “Quick Session” to make these attack animations much shorter and more rapid than they ever were in the Wii U original. I never had to play that one, but I can’t imagine I’d have much patience for constantly triggering 15 attack animations with every round. SO glad I don’t have to sit through that.

This is just a two-strike Sessions, so it won’t last long enough for you to take a beverage break.

So yeah, there’s a lot for RPG fans, Persona fans, and most of all, Fire Emblem fans to dig in “Tokyo Mirage Sessions.” And since we already covered that Danganronpa fans are apparently predisposed to enjoying Persona and Fire Emblem, that probably means that YOU, dear reader, are likely to dig this game as well.

we’re planets in orbit, and i’m okay with this collision course

༶•┈┈ general m.list

༶•┈┈ amanai kanoka x f!reader | pining, angst, eventual fluff

tags/warnings: swear words, best friends to one-sided sapphic pining to astronaut analogies to lovers, author brings back the space metaphors for another round of what is happening, lots of pining, the lyrics to space oddity

word count: 3.2k

a/n: may i humbly suggest you listen to love you forever by takayan while reading this </3

synopsis: If Kanoka’s oxygen, and loving her is the vast expanse of space, you’re the astronaut setting herself adrift with a single oxygen tank and equally copious amounts of hope and resignation.

Or: loving Kanoka will end in heartbreak. You might as well be greedy about how it happens.

»»------------- ------------- ------------- ¤ ------------- ------------- -------------««

“Kanoka-chan!” The both of you look up from your lunchboxes to see your class president waving at your best friend. There’s an excited flush high on her cheeks, the same shade as the neck of the boy who’s hovering nervously outside your classroom.

Ah, you think a little forlornly, as Kanoka shoots you an apologetic smile and a murmured promise of be back soon, trying not to look at the way her skirt sweeps the back of her thighs, just shy of the back of her knees.

“Another one?” You hear someone say.

“I wish she’d leave some for the rest of us,” another girl jokes, and you pick disinterestedly at the last of the tuna in your lunch.

Kanoka likes tuna. I’ll give it to her when she comes back, you tell yourself, as if you don’t already know how this will turn out.

You wait five, ten minutes. She doesn’t come back. One of your friends - Aika - takes Kanoka’s seat in front of you, pushing her closed lunchbox to the side as she leans over the table to whisper in your ear that that was the captain of the baseball team, isn’t he just dreamy?

“Yeah,” you say, because that’s what you’ve heard everyone else say, “didn’t they go to nationals last year?”

Predictably, Aika swoons. “He did,” she sighs, resting her chin in her hands, casting a longing glance at the closed door of your classroom, “it’s really too bad that Kanoka-chan’s going to turn him down.”

You hum, feigning interest. Your eyes drift to the wooden door too, and you can’t help but wonder where Kanoka’s taken him. Nonchalantly, you add, “Yeah, she’s hung up on her childhood crush, isn’t she?”

Aika wails into her palms. “A waste,” she mutters, “he’s not even in this school.”

Privately, you can’t help but agree. What a waste.

A glance at the clock tells you it’s been fifteen minutes since Kanoka had left with the boy with the tan skin and the big hands and the sunshine smile.

You eat the tuna.

Kanoka slides back into class a sliver of a second before the bell that signals the end of lunch rings, smiling sheepishly.

»»------------- ------------- ------------- ¤ ------------- ------------- -------------««

It’s lunch again, and this time, you’re on the roof.

“What happened with Seiji-kun?” Kaori asks.

Ah, the baseball captain. You try not to grimace. Seiji’s nice, after all - you used to sit next to him, in middle school. He’s sweet and kind and everything a girl who isn’t you would love in a boyfriend.

Except you don’t want a boyfriend. You just want Kanoka.

Aika scoffs, digging somewhat vehemently into her bento. “She turned him down,” she eyes Kanoka the way a housecat eyes mice, “like every other guy who’s confessed.”

“Sorry, Aika-chan,” your best friend apologizes, embarrassed and sincere, and it grates uncomfortably on your nerves.

“You don’t have to apologize,” the words are out of your mouth before you can think twice, “it’s totally up to you, you know, whoever you date. Or don’t.” You don’t look up from your lunch while you’re saying this, and belatedly, you hope that the edge to your voice is imagined, that you don’t sound as bitter as you feel.

“It’s fine,” Kanoka is quick to reassure after a moment of painful silence, and all it does is make you feel worse. Stop apologizing, you want to tell her, it makes me want to kiss you to shut you up.

“No,” Aika says, “Y/n’s right.” She sighs, and a pair of chopsticks come into view, dropping a cherry tomato in your lunchbox. “I was just hungry for gossip.” There’s a hint of playfulness in her tone, and you can’t help but feel relieved, even as it sears disgust deep in your stomach.

(You’re always so selfish.)

Kaori laughs. “I guess it’s good for his ego to be turned down every once in a while,” she giggles, and the last of the tension is broken. “Besides, all Kanoka needs is us, right?”

“Of course,” Kanoka replies, smiling that smile of hers - the one that makes your fingers go weak till you can’t pop the lid off a can, the one that you’ve had a crush on since middle school - and it’s what you wanted but not enough and it hurts so damn much.

All you’ve ever wanted is Kanoka.

»»------------- ------------- ------------- ¤ ------------- ------------- -------------««

The next time another boy calls Kanoka out of class - because of course someone does - you’ve got tuna in your lunchbox again.

Aika and Kaori plop onto the seats next to and in front of you, throwing around names and giggling the way they always do when there’s a confession.

“Kanoka-chan’s really popular, isn’t she,” Aika says enviously, and out of the corner of your eye, you see Kaori reach over to pat her on the shoulder.

“A real heartbreaker,” she agrees, and you’re foolish enough to hope that that’s the end of that. You try not to stare back when they turn to you expectantly, cautiously picking up an egg roll, feeling like a rat before a snake, deer before a lioness. Maybe if you move slowly and carefully enough, they’ll lose interest.

No such luck. “Though she’s nothing like Y/n-chan,” Aika says, “at least Kanoka-chan’s nice about her rejections.”

You frown. “I’m nice about it too,” you mumble defensively, fending off Kaori’s chopsticks when they attempt to sneak away an eggroll.

“Sorry,” Aika intones flatly, “I’m not interested.” Kaori breaks into laughter at her impression, and you scowl into your bento.

“You’re insufferable,” you complain, depositing your tuna into Aika’s lunchbox anyway.

“Is that what you said to Hirata-kun from 2-8 last week?” Kaori asks sweetly, and you stick your tongue out at her in retaliation.

Aika sighs, flopping back in her seat dramatically. “Really, the two of you could have any guy you wanted. Your popularity is wasted on you.”

You force a smile on your face. I never said I wanted a guy, you want to say, all I’ve ever wanted is Kanoka. “It’s not my fault I’m good at everything,” you tease, “maybe if you’d pair up with Kanoka and I more often in gym, you’d learn to keep up.”

“But the two of you are always so intense,” Kaori whines, “everything’s a competition with you two.”

“I hate you,” Aika adds, but there’s no real heat behind it. “You get everything - didn’t you weasel your way out of detention just yesterday?”

Chewing on the last of your lunch, you look up just in time to see Kanoka sliding the door to your class open. “Fujimura-sensei has a soft spot for me,” you say in explanation.

And isn’t that the truth - the whole, terrible, painful truth. You’re decent with your grades and competitive in gym; and everything that everyone else had wanted, like popularity and confessions from the guys in the sports clubs, you’ve gotten.

Of course it's fitting that the one thing you really want, the one person you’ve every wanted a confession from, is the one you absolutely can’t, will never have.

All you’ve ever wanted is Kanoka. It makes sense that she’s the only thing you’ll never have.

»»------------- ------------- ------------- ¤ ------------- ------------- -------------««

There is no way that this will end in anything less than heartbreak. You've always known this, since that precise moment in middle school when you’d realized that other girls don’t always want to run their hands down the sides of their other girl friends, don’t stay awake at night wondering what their lips feel like, the way you do when you think of Kanoka.

And you think of Kanoka a lot.

It’s not just about the way her hair shines beneath the sunlight streaming in from the classroom windows, or the way her face glows from the inside out like a miniature sun when she smiles, or that one week in your first year of high school when she’d hit a sudden growth spurt and the school skirts a size bigger than her old ones were out of stock.

It’s about the way she likes to chew with all her food on one side of her mouth, like a hamster. It’s the way she looks on the court, focused and hungry for the victory you’re always sure she’d get. It’s the way she says your name, all soft and excited, the way your hands brush on the walk home like two planets on a collision course, the way you think you could hear her talk in a language you don’t understand and never get bored.

You could look at her forever and still find yourself breathless, like an astronaut floating in space with an empty oxygen tank. And, well, isn’t that just terrible?

There’s a movie you’d watched once, with Kanoka warm along your entire left side as you’d cuddled on her couch, like a furnace, like phantom warmth the seconds before eternal sleep in the midst of a blizzard. The astronaut had been trapped on a ship without fuel, the oxygen levels low. And maybe it didn’t matter whether he’d stayed on the ship or floated out into space with the single oxygen tank left - he’d die anyway, and he knew it. In the end, he’d chosen to die out in space, looking at the world he’d died to see, and it hadn’t been sad so much as it had been admirable.

Kanoka makes you feel like that astronaut must have felt, in those final few seconds.

You have a crush on your best friend, and she’s in love with someone else. There’s no way this will end in anything less than heartbreak, but really, all you are is a satellite in orbit around Kanoka, and even though you know that you’ve set yourself up on a collision course, you don’t think you’re able to pull away.

You’re going to have your heart broken either way, you remember realizing as Kanoka falls asleep on your shoulder and the credits roll - you might as well be greedy about the way it happens.

»»------------- ------------- ------------- ¤ ------------- ------------- -------------««

When Kanoka calls you at night, while she’s away for the Spring High tournament, it’s about that childhood crush of hers from elementary school.

“Tanaka-kun likes someone else,” is the first thing she says when you pick up, and even with the crackling static you can tell that she’s on the verge of tears. “I was so stupid,” your best friend says, and you really, really, want to say me too, that makes two of us, “it’s been years, I should be happy he even remembers me.”

You let her sniffle into the phone for a while. Sometimes she just needs to get it out of her system, and you’ve known her for long enough now to know that this is one of those times.

“You know,” you say once the frequency of the sniffling decreases, and you have a sudden, disjointed thought that this feels a little like that one english song - Ground Control to Major Tom; can you hear me, Major Tom? “Kanoka-chan, didn’t you go to nationals for something else?”

Maybe it’s the wrong thing to say. But you’ve never been one to baby others.

“Yeah,” Kanoka says into the receiver after a moment, and her voice sounds a lot steadier now, less like she’s floating in space, “I went to win.”

You hum into the phone, and lying on the bed on your back like this, you can kind of see the stars in the night sky if you crane your neck to peer out the window by your bed.

You end the call a while after that. She’s got a match tomorrow, after all, and she needs her sleep.

You let your phone loll out of your hand and onto the sheets. Fumbling blindly, you manage to lift the blinds up a little further.

The stars look very different today, for here am I sitting in a tin can far above the world, you mouth the lyrics, and something in you aches to the beat of the dial at the end of a call, planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.

You watch Kanoka play on live television the next day. She’s amazing, as she always is, and you wish you were there in the stands.

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still, and I think my spaceship knows which way to go.

You and Kanoka have always been planets in orbit, and you’ve convinced yourself that you’re okay with the collision course you’re on.

It’s not, you and Kanoka have always been planets in orbit, but you’ve convinced yourself that you’re okay with the collision course you’re on. It’s and, and that makes all the difference.

»»------------- ------------- ------------- ¤ ------------- ------------- -------------««

“Remember that movie we watched in middle school? About the astronaut with no oxygen?” The question slips out of your mouth before you can think twice. You have an odd sense of deja vu.

Kanoka hums, chewing her tuna onigiri thoughtfully. You indulge yourself by allowing your eyes to trace the slope of her neck and the line of her jaw, outlined by the fading orange of the sunset. “Yeah,” she says after a moment, “it was really sad.”

Yeah, it’s sad. What’s sadder is that it’s happening to you on a daily basis.

Instead, you say, “I was thinking of doing my art assignment on that,” and you really don’t know why you’d even brought this up in the first place.

“That’s so cool,” Kanoka tells you earnestly, and you fight the urge to brush off the grain of rice stuck on her chin. Looking is fine, looking is all you’ll allow yourself. “Though I still don’t really understand why he’d choose to drift into space. Wouldn’t he have lived longer if he’d waited in the ship?”

You try not to smile to bitterly as you answer, “I guess he figured that if he was going to die either way, looking into space the way he’d wanted to was a pretty good way to go.”

Kanoka frowns. “He could have done that from inside the ship,” she argues, and you really, really, should not feel this defensive.

“It’s different,” you insist, and your chest aches the way it had when you’d nearly drowned in the pool in elementary school, all out of oxygen, “kind of like go big or go home, you know?”

You can tell she doesn’t know. But you do, and it hurts.

“Still, maybe someone would have come if he’d stayed in the ship.”

“Yeah, maybe,” you accede, “but then he wouldn’t have had such a pretty view when he’d died. Because he was going to die anyway - no ship would have gotten there that fast.” You don’t know why you’re still on this topic, why you’d brought this up in the first place. It’s like you’re masochistic or something.

“You don’t know that for sure,” your best friend says softly, an expression that feels oddly familiar and yet entirely alien on her face, and suddenly you feel like you’ve missed something, stumbled unknowingly into a whole other conversation.

“But I do,” you say carefully, realizing belatedly that sometime in the past five minutes, you’ve both slowed to a stop. The streets are empty except for you and the best friend you have a crush for.

(You’re not in love with Kanoka. You can’t be in love with someone who doesn’t love you back. It’s a childish distinction to make, like between and and but, but it’s the only thing standing between you and the cold, oxygen-less expanse of space, and despite all your bravado you never really expected the collision to be this soon.)

Kanoka reaches out hesitantly to touch your hand, brings it up so that your fingers are as hopelessly intertwined as the hope and resignation you’ve carried since middle school. Her onigiri is gone. You wonder if it had taken the surrounding oxygen with it.

“Y/n,” she says nervously, and you hate yourself for hoping. You wonder when the last time she’d said your name without honorifics was.

You realize that this is the first time.

“Y/n,” your best friend repeats, tongue darting out to wet her lips, and it’s such a small, miniscule action - you would have missed it if you weren’t so horribly fixated on everything Kanoka - but it draws your eyes to her lips, and once it happens, you can’t look away. Caught in orbit.

And you’re so, so tired. Astronauts have to go through rigorous training to prepare them for space, but you’ve never had that. All you’ve had is a best friend who is as kind as she is tall and as pretty as she is loving.

And fuck it, you think a little hysterically, you’ve liked her for so long, and maybe this will mess your entire friendship up but you’ve liked her for so long, and maybe it will do you good to hear her rejection for what it is. Maybe it’d give you the closure you need to move on, and smile the next time a boy calls her out of class to give her snacks or a volleyball or a letter. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

(Maybe she would feel the same.

Maybe you could be in love with-)

When it looks like Kanoka isn’t going to say anything else, you do, before you lose your nerve and your mind with it. Maybe you’ve already lost it. All you are is a collection of maybe-s, now.

“Kanoka,” you yank your gaze from her lips to her eyes, large, and the love in your chest swells and swells like a supernova, “I like you. I really, really like you, and it’s terrible, and I’m-” You choke a little, “I’m sorry. I wish we wouldn’t change.”

There’s a horrible, horrible, moment when you feel like the astronaut must have felt as he let go of the cord to the ship, as he set himself adrift in the vast coffin of space. Then-

“Y/n,” and her hands are tender around yours, her skin soft like the bruised fruit of your heart, “what if we could?”

“What?” You’re lost, you’re drifting, and your lungs aren’t getting the oxygen they need.

“We could change,” your best friend says patiently, and you let yourself pretend that the red on her cheeks is a blush and not the shade of the waning sun, “because I like you too.”

Your oxygen tank runs dry. It rattles the way your heart shudders in the age of your chest, a tin can.

“Oh,” you say, and then you take a breath. “Oh,” you say again, in a tone of realization this time, and then you’re moving closer and Kanoka is too, until your noses brush like satellites and your lips meet like planets. Collision.

When you finally part for more than a few brief seconds for air, you smile. “I was always okay with this collision course,” you say into the crook of Kanoka’s neck.

“What?” You feel her try to pull away in confusion, and you allow her to, just to pull her back to you with a hand on her collar. You smile into her lips, “Nothing. Just thinking about magnetism.”

Yandere Reactions: With a darling that is already in a relationship

Kakeru Kurahara:

To say that he isn't a happy camper is an understatement.

He doesn't trust their partner and will make it known to his darling that they should watch out for them. (Even if his darling and their partner have been together for years.)

He is going to somewhat ask the others to help.

He is going to watch them like a hawk because one slip up and he will make sure they will never see the light of day again.

Then again, his darling’s partner isn't going to last that long no matter what they try to do.

Yukihiko Iwakura:

He is going to get rid of them as fast as he can.

It doesn't matter how long they have been a couple he is going to tear it apart.

Making them look bad, putting suspicion in the relationship, getting in his darling head about how they aren’t a great match or how the person isn't really that great of a partner.

He is going to use everything he can to break them up. (Made up or real.)

And who else but him to pick up the pieces of his darling's broken heart?

Akihiro Hirata:

He hates the situation so much.

So, from day one he is playing on how to break them up.

He believes their partner is up to something terrible. All they want to do is hurt his darling and he will be damned if he lets that happen.

So, he starts to put things in his darling’s head. Just little ‘hints’ to simply help them see the truth.

Maybe he has some ‘evidence’ that backs up his claims that they really are a terrible partner.

The Ultimate Biologist (Danganronpa 2 x OC)

read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/SDveJqr

by Ek_Oaynib

This is my self insert (yeah it's a self insert T^T imma just get that out of the way first) Danganronpa OC story revolving around Katsumi Hirata, a student of class 77-B. Since this could kinda work as a reader insert, I guess you could think of my OC as Y/N (if you want). Feel free, I guess.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The story will progress to a very much Nagito x OC story, so if you don't like that, then this is not the story for you (sorry).

IMPORTANT: This will be a three-book series and will include UDG, Despair Arc, a little bit of Future Arc, DR0 and the DR 2.5 OVA). This book will be entirely focused on DR2 and spoilers will mostly be self-contained until chapters 46 & 47 (minor DR3 spoilers).

All the chapters (for all three books) have been drafted so worry not! Series completion is guaranteed (^▽^).

Some things from earlier chapters that chapter 27 fills out

Some narratives are built out of a dense weave of allusions to other high cultural or popular cultural works, rituals, and practices; others build mainly on internal repetitions. Saezuru Tori Wa Habatakanai belongs to the latter category, and to an unusual degree those repetitions are substantive rather than purely stylistic, taking the form of verbal allusions to earlier thoughts and conversations, visual references to earlier or to others’ attitudes, and explicit callbacks – often in the form of remembered scenes that braid in additional strands of meaning at each invocation. That is, the repetitions happen for the most part from the perspectives of particular characters, even when a “flashback” presented to the reader couldn’t literally consist in the memories of a single character.

Managing this kind of repetition so that it builds in layers requires a palette knife rather than a hammer. Which also means that it can be useful to put the allusions explicitly on record. (Though obviously this is less necessary when the memories come in the form of explicit flashbacks or questions like “What did you mean when you did or said x.“ As both Doumeki and Ryuuzaki ask Yashiro in chapter 27 … ) Fortunately, that’s exactly what fandoms are good at.

@Lustfulcat ’s initial ch 27 thoughts post does some great work on this score. (That Ryuuzaki’s irritation with Yashiro’s beauty echoes Misumi’s all those years ago is a particularly great catch.) I just wanted to add a few more to the pile, about Ryuuzaki’s ~feelings for Yashiro~, about masculinity, and hopefully about family in another post. Oh, and about nipple-biting, too, of course.

(1) I haven’t seen anyone mention this, but Ryuuzaki’s almost-plea to Yashiro that he leave the yakuza picks up on and clarifies an earlier comment of his. When Nanahara has finally located his hiding spot and Ryuuzaki is inarticulately berating Nanahara for not understanding that, given how he feels about Yashiro, Ryuuzaki would never have put out a genuine hit on him, Ryuuzaki settles on talking about how long he’s known him – “much longer than someone like you.” (Nanahara has been under Yashiro for ten years, long enough that people usually stop counting, though of course 17 years is quite a bit longer.) “Back then his crotch was open to anyone. He was treated like a disgusting toilet.” And then: “Ability? Don’t make me laugh” – with, as background image, the image of 19-year-old Yashiro resting his head on the window sill – the very image we now know evokes and symbolizes Ryuuzaki’s desire to protect Yashiro. And then, seemingly without rhyme or reason, he adds: “As things were, there was no reason for him to head towards the yakuza” before concluding: “What does someone like you know?”

When you first read this speech, it mainly conveys Ryuuzaki’s inability or lack of desire to express clearly what he actually thinks about Yashiro. But with chapter 27 in mind, we can understand it much more clearly. He’s not in fact questioning Yashiro’s ability as wakagashira, but remembering how Yashiro wasn’t first initiated and then favored because of his ability, but because of his magnetism. And when he says that there was no reason for Yashiro to head towards the yakuza, he isn’t resenting his presence, but wishing bitterly that he had never entered such a dangerous world. It’s no wonder that Ryuuzaki wants Yashiro to leave the yakuza. He never wanted him to join in the first place. Misumi ”has enough ambition for the both of them ” for Yashiro to rise through Shinseikai and eventually Doushinkai. It looks like Ryuuzaki has always had ambitions for Yashiro, too, of precisely the opposite sort. As usual, Doumeki is the only one who wants Yashiro to make his own decisions and decide for himself what is best for himself. (Honorable mention goes to Kageyama who occasionally hassled Yashiro to leave without ever offering him any support or other path forward, or bothering to ask Yashiro what he really wanted.)

(2) By the way, we also learn in chapter 27 the deeper meaning of Ryuuzaki’s asking Yashiro all those years ago whether he wanted to be a woman: not the simple equation of being sexually penetrated with womanhood that Ryuuzaki absolutely does retain; and not bafflement at Yashiro the exotic, splendid butterfly, though it is that too; but the inarticulate expression of a frustrated desire to keep him safe. (Also note how much more gently Yashiro replies to Ryuuzaki in chapter 27 than in chapter 14. Earlier he had answered that the only thing about being a woman he wants is the ease of finding men to sleep with. Now he answers only that being a woman “would make things simpler” – for others, he means.) Ryuuzaki’s thought here “I can’t believe he’s the one protecting me” represents his simultaneous (i) knowledge and (ii) difficulty accepting that, after all, Yashiro is a man – that being beautiful, and being penetrated, and rejecting yakuza ideas of manly honor because “the idea that to lose is to win” (his preferred tactic) “doesn’t exist in the yakuza way of thought” – that none of that changes the fact that Yashiro is a man. (Let’s leave it to another day for Ryuuzaki to recognize that “protector”/“protected” is not a reasonable equivalent to “male”/“female,” either, shall we?)

(3) On that: I’ve always thought that part of the meaning of Doumeki being so much younger is that it makes it easier for him to see Yashiro as a man rather than a failed woman. Yashiro’s rapist stepfather was the first one to tell him that he was “really” a girl. Of Dog-tags, the Hirata underling who made young Yashiro physically ill with his affection, Yashiro recollects: “I was treated like his woman. [new box] Like his woman. [next page] The affection mixed into his desire made me want to throw up.” It doesn’t seem wildly speculative to conjecture that the form of the affection – “treating [someone] like a woman” – is part of what nauseated Yashiro. Here Yashiro is expressing the same sense of what it means to be treated as a woman as Ryuuzaki had. Neither thinks that being desirable to men is sufficient all on its own to mark someone as female, as stepfather had suggested. (Though they’re highly correlated.) Rather, it’s being treated with protective romantic affection by a man that should be restricted to women. Doumeki, on the other hand, manages to be extremely protective towards Yashiro, and quite possessive too, without making Yashiro feel that he’s being treated as a woman – quite a trick. (Again, we shouldn’t accept the attitude – which is incredibly prevalent in BL and usually much less examined – that to be a woman is in the natural course of things to be less than a man. But it’s undoubtedly an attitude that the characters have and express, just as it’s ingrained in many of us to different degrees.)

(4) And yes, Ryuuzaki has always been really into biting Yashiro’s nipples. (Based on other BL as well as Yashiro’s chapter five reaction, it’s likely that both of them take this as a bit feminizing. But here the relevant reaction is more “oh my gosh does Ryuuzaki seriously not realize.”)
