okay I NEED you to elaborate on your headcanon about kuze being mana’s uncle because I absolutely can see it but I wanna know your context specifically (im @designernishiki btw)
Hi! Thamks for the ask! :3
Okay so admittedly I didnt come up with it myself, but I read it in this and thought yo why the heck not that shits epic?? Just the idea of Kuze having a niece and being a pretty good uncle?? Good shit right there!
I even started writing a little bit, dunno if I'll ever continue it but here:
It starts with his sister. His sweet, shy sister he never really knew, he never really talked to not because they didn't like each other but because she was five years younger and they had virtually nothing in common.
Throughout the years, they'd lost contact, yet, as Kuze's boxing career is falling apart, a letter arrives. Where Akira got his address from, he doesn't have a clue, but he remembers her handwriting.
They meet at Cafe Alps to catch up. He doesn't recognise her in the beginning, but she recognises him.
"Hold her for a second, would you?", Akira shoves her baby into his arms.
"-Oi!", Daisaku complains, mostly because his hands are made for boxing, for hurting, and he most definitely does not know how to take care of a baby.
But Akira leaves to go to the bathroom before he can get another word in.
Daisaku looks down at the potato. Babies are so ugly. They're deformed, weak and disgusting with drool and snot and even less pleasant bodily secretions everywhere. They scream and they're annoying, but - this isn't his baby. This is Akira's baby. He doesn't have the responsibility of having to do everything right. He won't have to suffer through the majority of the baby's tantrums.
The baby's big eyes follow his finger as he boops its little nose. It scrunches up its face in a way he must admit it decently adorable.
"Oh, you got an attitude.", he remarks with amusement. "That's a good thing. I like you."
The baby stretches out its tiny, tiny hand to play with his finger and he lets it.
Daisaku is overcome by wonder. It's so small, so weak and helpless, yet this is a human. This will one day grow up into an adult. What he is holding in his arms is a life. A pure, young, innocent life.
"I see you've become acquainted!", Akira teases him as she sits down, not making a move to take the baby back.
"Aa. It's got spunk."
His sister chuckles.
"What's it's name?", Daisaku asks.
"Kuze Mana.", Akira responds, looking at the baby with a lot of fondness. The little shit starts gnawing on his finger. He lets her.
"Eh? You're not hitched?"
"Nah, she was an accident, but I wanted to keep her."
"Huh."
"So, Daisaku... How have you been holding up?", Akira asks him, tone becoming a tad bit gentler. "I heard about what's happening with your boxing career."
Kuze clicks his tongue. "Don't believe everything you hear. Reason why things are going downhill is that I did something the Championship doesn't like so they're forcing me to lose. Bunch of fuckers."
Akira hums. "And what, you're just going to let them walk all over you?"
"Pf. As if. The reason I started up boxing is because I wanted to fight people stronger than me, not get tossed around by losers I could defeat in my sleep. I could tough it out, but... This isn't about strength or perseverance. Getting back in the bosses' good graces is gonna take a long time and then it's one wrong move and I'm in the doghouse again.", Kuze snorts derisively. "This is more showbiz than boxing. No, I think I'm done with it. Only question is what happens after."
"Do you have a job in mind yet?"
"No. That's most of the problem.", Kuze admits. "Like hell I'm gonna start an office job or anything like that. Don't exactly have qualifications either."
Akira looks him over critically. "I guess so."
"I have received an offer.", Kuze states, staring at the table. "He said my strength and potential was wasted there."
"Eh? Is it the Yakuza?"
Kuze looks up in shock. "How did you know?"
Akira smiles. "I've had a couple of friends who were in there."
"I see.", he states, still uncertain of what she thinks of it.
