Kojiro Nanjo/Joe X Reader, Kaoru Sakurayashiki/Cherry X Reader, Ainosuke Shindo/Adam X Reader

Requested: Anon

Request: Hiii i really love your sk8 the infinity headcanons can you please make a headcanon for joe cherry and adam with an s/o who has beautiful eyes just like gojo satoru from jujutsu kaisen and has the cutest dimples please 🥺🙏

Warning: Spoilers for the first season of Sk8

Kojiro Nanjo/Joe

🍝 Joe is no stranger to good looking people, there are a number of different people, men and women that throw themselves at him but he had never found someone that he wanted to throw himself at. 🍝 At first he thought that it would pass, that it was just seeing something new but the more that he saw you around the more that he wanted to have you all to himself. 🍝 Now honestly despite the clear jealousy that he showed towards those that showed an interest in you, he never thought the same might be true for you given the attention that he was given, you might need to use your fans to your advantage. 🍝 Joe would often poke at your dimples when he was teasing under your eyes when he was reassuring you.

You had been helping Joe out in the restaurant the past couple of weeks, it had somehow become busier and he needed all the help that he could get. It seemed that you tending to the tables seemed to attract a different kind of crowd, more men taking an interest in the establishment then before.

There were two problems arising from this, the first being some female client refusing your service since we all know that you weren’t what they had come here for and the second being that the male clientele were far too flirty and definitely weren’t there for the food. At first he didn’t mind too much but when it became a common occurrence and now he was standing watching you interact and sell his menu like a pro while avoiding their advances. “Are you going to just stand there and glare, you gorilla?” Kaoru asked. “What are you talking about?” Joe asked as his eyebrow ticked, his attention drawn from you for a second to look at his friend. “Well it’s clear that they bother you.” Kaoru said calmly, “I’d much rather enjoy my meal without your grunting.” “What did you say!?” He asked, his outburst caused you to look over at him and giggled, you excused yourself from the table making your way towards him. “Is everything okay?” You asked. “Just fine dear.” Kaoru answered “just asking how you put up with this beast constantly.” “Kaoru…” Joe warned as you shook your head. “He’s fine just the way that he is.” You answered tapping his chest as you walked towards the bar getting the drinks that the men had ordered. “I’ll take those.” Joe said softly as he moved past you poking softly at the dimples forming from your smile. “Stop that!” You scolded him, as you waved away his hand, he smirked as he leaned down pressing a kiss to your cheek. “What are you doing?” “Nothing.” He answered but you could see his eyes on the table you had just walked away from. “Do not ruin your business over me.” You scolded him “I can handle them.” “You don’t need to handle them, in fact I’ll handle them and don’t worry about the business Kaoru brings enough to keep this place a float.” He pressed another kiss to your forehead before heading over to the table. “Gorilla.” Kaoru muttered, pressing the heel of his hands to his forehead as you giggled. “Sorry Kaoru.” You muttered. “It’s not your fault, trust me, he’s been like this for years, you are the first woman to bring it out of him though.” Kaoru explained as you both watched him put on a smile and serve the table.

Kaoru Sakurayashiki/Cherry

🌸 Cherry appreciated your beauty, everything from your dimples to your eyes and anything else that he noticed along the way, he wasn’t always good at saying these things out loud. 🌸 Carla would often be the one to compliment you, it would always make his eyebrow twitch, not to mention Joe getting under his skin by throwing you a few compliments. 🌸 You and Cherry honestly were the perfect couple doth in looks and interaction, it didn’t take long for you both to be living together and sharing your lives. 🌸 Cherry didn’t often get jealous of other people, in fact given his general vibe people very rarely approached you. All your antics came from inside your relationship.

You had been cleaning around the house while you waited for Kaoru to come home, you had been milling around the room. Since Langa had beaten Adam at Sk8, Cherry had been going through old pictures from school, you hadn’t noticed before but as you looked closer at the pictures he had left out you saw the piercing in his eyebrow and lip. “What are you doing?” Cherry asked as he walked over to where you were, you hadn’t paid attention, you didn’t hear him come in. “Just looking at your old pictures.” You answered honestly. “Oh those are not my best days.” He answered as he looked over your shoulder, you frowned. “What do you mean, I think you look very good in these, you know if I had known you then I still would have dated you.” You explained. “I’m sure.” He mumbled, you looked at him for a second before pulling him to the bed and prompting him to sit down. You settled in front of him pulling out your phone, you scrolled through an old album that had been saved to the cloud before showing him the phone screen. He looked down at the picture where you were smiling, full eyes closed, smiling, you looked happy. “Beautiful.” “Really?” You asked. “Of course.” He answered. “Even without the dimples?” You asked. “Huh?” He asked as he looked at the photo again, sure enough the dimples that now adorned your cheeks weren’t there. “I didn’t even notice.” “Mmm.” You hummed “now will you believe me when I say the same about you?” “That you didn’t notice?” He asked with a raised eyebrow, you narrowed your eyes before turning so that you were straddling his thighs. “That you were beautiful even despite the change.” You corrected “besides…” You leaned forward biting softly at his lip and pulling “it would have given me something to hold on to.” You hopped off the bed and headed out of the room. Kaoru watched you go, his face red as he looked down at the photo. Maybe putting in a ring for you every now and again wouldn’t be so bad. It’s the least he could do for you, giving him those stunning eyes and beautiful dimples.

Ainosuke Shindo/Adam

❤ He had nothing to worry about the moment that he started to pursue you, his standing in both the skating and business world meant that no one ever tried to challenge him. ❤ Adam honestly has very stunning eyes himself, you were both the talk of the town the moment that you started dating, the perfect couple according to the press and most of his business partner’s wives. ❤ Adam made a point of complimenting you and keeping you close at business parties and outings. ❤ You’d often go and watch him skate, he gave you a mask after the first time so that he’d be able to come over and scare off anyone who got too close to you without giving away either of your identity.

You were leaning against the wall watching Adam in his match against someone you hadn’t bothered to remember the name of, your attention was pulled from the screen when someone approached you “Woah! You're so cool, are you a skater!?” The kid asked, you raised an eyebrow, you recognised the second boy, the one that people were dubbing Snow. The one that had beat Adam before you started dating. “I don’t skate here.” You answered with a small smile. “Your eyes.” The kid, Snow said as he looked at them. “Pretty striking right?” You asked. “Pretty is one way to describe them.” You recognised that voice as Joe, one of the other skates and a childhood friend of Adam’s. “Is there something that I can help you all with?” You asked. “I just wanted to know how my friend was doing, I don’t know what these idiots are doing here.” Joe answered and you raised an eyebrow, eye catching Adam skating over the finish line first, his eyes easily finding yours in the crowd as he winked. “We were just trying to figure out if they were a skater.” The red haired kid defended himself and you shook your head stepping back away from the conversation and straight into someone's chest. “Now what’s going on here?” Adam’s voice said softly as he leaned down, his words sounding like they were spoken directly into your ear. “Just chatting.” You answered. “W-what!? Adam?” The Red haired kid asked. “You know them?” You asked. “Well you know I know these two…” He pointed to Joe and Snow. “This one I know in passing.” He pointed at the red head. “Huh.” You grunted.

Joe, Langa and Reiki looked at you, honestly now that you were standing with Adam, you were far more intimidating. The way that you both slotted into what seemed to be familiar roles, something practiced and comfortable, his chin resting on your shoulder and he talked directly to you and no one else, they couldn’t even hear what he was saying over the noise around them. Both your eyes glowing in the light as you looked down at them, they had to admit that you had a slightly softer look then Adam did but you were both still a formidable pair and Joe wondered how any business partners ever held your gaze long enough to make a deal.

“Are you ready to go?” You asked. “I think so.” He answered with a kiss to your cheek, he turned you towards the car as he waved over his shoulder. “Nice to meet you all!” You called as you left.

“Woah… That is what you call a power couple.” Reiki said as you both disappeared into the crowd. “Best to stay on their good side huh?” Joe asked. “Langa already beat Adam.” Reiki reminded him. “I don’t think either of them hold it against you.” Joe said as he turned away “just try not to give them a reason to hold anything else against you, either of you.”

Hii I was wondering if I could ask for sk8 Langa and Cherry with a s/o who went against Adam and he attacked s/o worse than any of the others?

FIRST SK8 REQUEST?!? Thank you for your ask!!

LANGA knew that adam was intimidating, but he had faith that you could handle yourself against him. his reservations outweighed his want to support you, and so he tucked them away and opted for cheering you on and supporting you throughout the race. he was just the same as you, eager to get out there and skate against someone so skilled. everything would work out.

the race was going smoothly until half way through the track, it appeared that adam was getting ready to make some sort of move that you were unaware of. it came quick, adam turning around and running full speed using his board as a club to attack you with. langa could only stare and exclaim in fear as he watched you get hit with all the strength adam could muster on the giant tvs. he immediately went after you, pushing past the crowds of people to retrieve your unconscious figure from the track. joe followed and insisted on driving you to the hospital, langa not even bothering trying to convince him to tag along, but simply stating that he’d accompany you. he sat nervously in the hospital for a long while until he was forced to head home, but even a conversation with joe reassuring him that you’d be alright couldn’t calm his nerves.

he felt guilty that he didn’t voice more of his anxious feelings toward the race. maybe if he did, it would’ve prompted you to be more attentive to any dangerous tricks. the rest of his evening was spent getting lost in his guilty consciousness, and he was quieter and slower until your full recovery. even when you were discharged and feeling better than ever did langa feel horrible for not saying anything at all. you managed to snap him out of his all-consuming self loathing however, repeating firmly that he wasn’t responsible for your injury. a small kiss on his cheek solidified that. langa makes a note from the experience to work on communicating his feelings a little bit better with you.

CHERRY knew firsthand what adam was capable of. he was all too familiar with his style of skating (if you could even call it that). so admittedly he was nervous when you told him you’d be skating against the maniac. he was slightly surprised and was vocal in his concerns, reminding you of his wicked tricks and the danger of going up against him. you were insistent however, wanting to take the chance to beat him, if not that then improve in skill. cherry wasn’t going to force you out of the race, so he very reluctantly accepted it.

his eyes never left the screens displaying the race, constantly analyzing your move. even when he saw you doing well, his worry didn’t falter. his breath hitched as he watched adam prepare an all too familiar attack against you, his fears becoming reality right before his eyes. he wasted no time locating you and using carla to examine your condition after you collapsed. cherry comes off cool and collected when informing the others about your state, simply stating the known facts, but everyone could tell that he was tense with the deep frown etched in his face and the slight gruffness in his voice.

he sat by your bed and watched as you rested, planning a “i told you so" lecture for when you were feeling better. cherry mostly felt awful for not interfering more with your decision, however. he knew that adam was dangerous and was almost sure to pull some sort of stunt that would end up hurting you, but he still let you go out on the track. he used carla to monitor your recovery and took it upon himself to take care of you even when you got discharged from the hospital. he was scared for you, and it came out in the form of anger. you apologized for letting yourself be so careless, and cherry couldn’t help but deflate at the genuine guilt in your voice. he flicked you over the head with his fan and assured you that the sole person responsible was adam. cherry paid for all the food you wanted at kojiro's restaurant (and made him treat you occasionally as well) to make up for the guilt he felt.

guys i had a dream,

a matchablossom dream. (and mind you i havent even seen sk8 content in ages)

but basically it was in kaoru's pov, them being childhood friends, and slowly falling in love as they grow up.

them playfully bantering as classmates, kojiro sitting kaoru on his shoulders to help him reach something (they must've been 12 at this time), the boyfriends always being together for anything they go to, kojiro saying he didn't do as well as kaoru on his exams so kaoru says "well then it looks like i'll be the one doing further study" and then kojiro grins up at him saying "then it looks like i'll be the one doing business. guess i'll get started now." (they literally act so married i cannot)

and then one day, these two are together again at a festival when kaoru (who was starting to become aware of his feelings for the other) decides to ask "you know, while i do enjoy accompanying you to all these things, don't you have any other partners you'd rather go with?"

kojiro absentmindedly responds with "what are you talking about babe?" which makes kaoru stop in his tracks and then kojiro at the late realization of what he just said, dropping whatever food he was holding. kojiro flounders trying to cover up but kaoru just smiles behind his fan and takes kojiros hand with the other, saying "alright, sorry i asked honey."

and then i got a random cut scene of kojiro and kaoru buying stuff for their new house and being caught in some robbery/disaster and kaoru who was pissed off decided to save the day (putting his hair up and a mask on like cherry blossom and using his skateboarding skills) and kojiro cheering him on like "whooo that's my husband right there everybody!!!"

i'm not kidding this all happened in a dream why can't awake!me ever come up with stuff like this 😭💔

#noisyanyan #sk8 #sk8 the infinity #sk8 matchablossom #matchablossom #sk8 cherry blossom #sk8 joe #sk8 kaoru #kaoru sakurayashiki #kojiro nanjo #cherry x joe #kaoru x kojiro #i dont wanna officially label this as a fanfic or oneshot #bc this is all a dream-induced brainrot akjsbd #but either way i hope these crumbs will make matchablossom shippers happy :>

hi hi, this is a piece for @half-baked-biscuit ‘s “the canon kiss we deserved” collab. it’s my first time writing something for a ship i love and also my first time writing for sk8 so i hope this is okay :))

joe decides to spill his guts after cherry sneaks out from the hospital…

collab masterlist

WARNINGS: fluff - spoilers for sk8 ep 9/10 - cursing - mentions of drinking - confessions - obviously a ship piece - their stage names are used at the first part, real names at the second, sorry if it causes confusion - 1k words

To say that Joe was just upset was an understatement, he was pissed off and worried about Cherry after what Adam did to him.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Cherry was injured and needed to be brought to the hospital, he would’ve snapped right there. Would’ve argued and probably fought Adam physically, even though that might not be the best choice.

He didn’t care, not when it was about Cherry, not after seeing him laying on the ground unconsciously.

“Adam, you son of a—“ Joe started, being cut off by the sound of Shadow honking at them, signing Joe to get in the car with Cherry in his arms.

“Right now it’s more important to get to a hospital, you can finish this off later!” Shadow yelled and Joe sighed, knowing Shadow was right, getting in the car after. “I hate that son of a bitch.” Joe mumbled, looking down at Cherry with a worried look. He swore he could feel his heart break at the sight, this was something he never wanted to see.

“Kaoru, you’ll be fine, won’t you..?” Joe asked, trying to reassure himself more than the unconscious man in his arms. “He will be, I’m sure Adam didn’t hit hard enough to kill a man.” Shadow told Joe, quickly looking at them through the mirror while speeding to the hospital, not caring about the speed limit.

“Please be okay.” Joe whispered, almost begging. He couldn’t lose Cherry, not before he had the chance to tell him how he felt ever since their teen years. Joe couldn’t watch the man he was in love with being taken away by Adam, not again.

“Are you an idiot?” Kojiro asked, looking at the man before him. “Sneaking out of the hospital like that… What if something happened?” he continued, worry hidden in the tone of his voice.

He was glad to see that Kaoru was doing fine but the worry still was there, he didn’t want anything else to happen to him.

“Not a problem at all— It’s only a scratch.” Kaoru answered, only for Kojiro to shake his head. “You look like a mummy.” Kojiro joked, earning a glance from Kaoru. “It’s an honorable wound.” Kaoru corrected him, a smirk creeping on his face.

“You haven’t gone up against Adam, after all.” Kaoru tested him, his smirk only growing when he saw how easily that affected Kojiro. “I would’ve won.” Kojiro fought back, being met with Kaoru laughing.

“Shut up, you lost against a rookie.” Kaoru mumbled, taking a sip from his drink after.

The two of them continued talking about the match & the skaters, going for the second bottle of wine in the process. Time passed quickly as they spoke, just enjoying each other’s company like the old days but now without Adam.

When Kojiro went to grab another bottle, he was met with a sleeping Kaoru who had fallen asleep on the bar without realizing.

Kojiro found himself smiling weakly at how peaceful Kaoru looked, filling their glasses before sitting down next to him and continuing talking. It felt like it was the perfect time to pour his heart out, even though his crush was asleep next to him.

“You know Kaoru, I always hated how you felt about Adam or how close you were with him…” Kojiro started, taking a deep breath before he continued. He never had felt this nervous in his life before yet somehow confessing as an adult was eating him alive, leaving him wanting to melt through the ground.

“I always wished you’d look at me that way…” he paused, thinking of the right words to use. “Wished you’d pay attention to me like you did to him.” Kojiro continued, smiling weakly at the memories of the three of them together.

“It kinda hurt to be honest, I should’ve confessed the moment I realized.” he laughed softly, taking a sip of his drink after. “But here I am— as a full grown adult, telling you that I’m in love with you while you’re asleep because I don’t have the guts to do it when you’re awake.” Kojiro confessed, realizing how embarrassing it actually sounded.

“What I’m trying to say is, I really like you Kaoru.” Kojiro sighed. “I’m stupid, can’t even do this when you’re awake. You’d laugh at me if you knew.” he smiled, being relieved that he was able to tell his feelings.

“Wouldn’t you Kaoru?” he asked, not expecting an answer as he finished his drink.

“I would— you couldn’t even let me sleep peacefully dimwit!” Kaoru answered, leaving Kojiro frozen in his movements as he almost spit his drink out, not daring to look at the man next to him.

Just how long had he been listening?

“You’re not good at confessing are you Kojiro?” Kaoru asked, taking a sip of his drink as well, his cheeks being a light shade of pink. “You’re not good at pretending to be asleep either are you?” Kojiro answered, finally looking at him again.

Kaoru grabbed Kojiro’s face, pulling him closer to him to the point where they could feel one another’s breath ghosting over each other's lips.

“Hey…” Kojiro whispered, looking Kaoru in the eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me before?” Kaoru asked, rubbing his thumb over his cheek. “I was scared to ruin our friendship…” Kojiro answered, closing his eyes out of embarrassment.

Kaoru didn’t answer, instead he pressed his lips against Kojiro’s, hoping his actions would speak for him. Kojiro froze for a second, being shocked as he kissed back, melting into Kaoru’s touch, not believing this was actually happening.

Kojiro gently put his hands on Kaoru’s sides, deepening the kiss, not wanting to let go, feeling like it might be the first and last time this happened if he did so. That’s why Kaoru was the one to break the kiss, resting his forehead against Kojiro’s after.

“You really are an idiot.” Kaoru breathed out, a small smile creeping on his face. Kojiro was silent, not knowing what to say other than wanting to kiss him again.

“I guess words aren’t your strong point, are they Kojiro?” Kaoru teased him, softly pressing his lips against Kojiro’s once more.

Maybe in the end, Kojiro didn’t have to watch Kaoru slip away from him anymore but instead he could be the one on Kaoru’s side and mind…

A little What A Life short I put on ao3, but it was short enough I decided to post it here too! Enjoy!

-----------------------------------

Title: The Mask He Wears

To all the other residents of Waialua, Joe is an energetic, outgoing, and extroverted man with a bright smile and positive attitude. He's an amazing dad, always happy to lend a hand whenever he can, loves to talk and make friends, and is just an overall flamboyant person.

To Karou, Kojiro Nanjo is an awkward, easily flustered person who, at one point in time, was afraid of absolutely everything. Karou fondly remembers the flustered, blushing teenager who'd asked him out in high school, green bangs flopping into his face as he'd stumbled helplessly over his words.

"Uh- I-I was just wondering if you'd-.. ya'know.. maybe, po-possibly, might wanna-...Uhm- g-goonadatewithme?"

He remembers their first kiss, how Kojiro had leaned in and softly pressed his lips against Karou's. He remembers their first time together, and how nervous and shaky Kojiro was when touching him, and the memory often makes him chuckle.

Karou oftentimes can't help but compare these two people, Kojiro and Joe, so different but yet the same person.

He thinks about Joe, the loud man who'd once tried to skateboard in heels on a dare from Reki, and the guy who attracts everyone's attention when he walks down the street, to the point where Karou has to show people the green-haired man is his quite often.

He thinks about Kojiro, his Koji, the guy who flushes red all the way from his shoulders to his cheeks every time Karou compliments him, and the shy teenager who'd given him a box of homemade chocolates on Valentine's Day.

That's the man lying next to him right now in bed, the soft, cuddly Kojiro who'd wrapped his arms around Karou's waist and buried his face in his neck as he slept peacefully. The man who wakes Karou up with warm smiles and kisses, and is so gentle with him, almost like he was made of precious glass.

Don't get him wrong, Karou loved both of them, Kojiro and Joe. He was happy that Kojiro was happier with himself, feeling more confident in terms of his physical appearance and his mental health.

If you were to ask him if he had a favorite, Karou wouldn't be able to answer, because honestly, both are his, and both are perfect.

Pairings: matchablossom | joecherry

Knight!Kojiro, King!Kaoru

Trans Kojiro

Sequel to “Accolade” and "Ceremonials"

One of the first things Kojiro had learned about Kaoru was that he had trouble sleeping. Growing up, he'd often seen him rubbing his eyes and yawning before putting on the princely mask he'd needed to face the court. As teenagers, he'd found him training late, hoping to exhaust himself into a good night's sleep. As an adult, Kaoru had practically turned the palace’s library into his second bedroom, a place to spend the long hours of the night studying under candlelight and, afterwards, under bright orbs that stood suspended in the air over his head. Kojiro had lost count of the times he’d found him sitting there with a book in his lap, staring out the window. On their first night together, Kaoru had slept soundly through the night. Kojiro had fallen asleep with him in his arms and woken up the next day with his back to Kaoru’s chest, their legs tangled and Kaoru’s arm thrown over his waist. Keep reading on Ao3

Vocabulary and Massages

by Corundum_Creations

Joe turned around to address his little gaggle of children, “hey, you kiddos seen Cherry? I can’t imagine him being late.”

The three plus his emo punk, flower loving younger brother began a chant, “SIMP. SIMP. SIMP. SIMP.”

Joe’s face twisted into somehow-still-attractive alarmed confusion, “wha-… what’s that!?”

“A new word Langa taught us,” Reki chimed immediately.

“It’s you,” Miya stated flatly, his faux ears and tail also communicating such a sentiment.

“Oh,” Joe reclaimed his smile and flexed, “so it means a handsome hunk, huh?”

“Pfft, yeah, sure.” Shadow scoffed.

Cherry rolled up behind his green haired counterpart, “a ‘simp’ is a new word in the English colloquial that denotes a person with unusual respect towards an individual. Usually a woman. Is it her?” He indicated with his chin towards one of the many fans surrounding Joe, drooling over his abs.

Or:

The skate gang accurately pin Joe as a simp, someone gives Cherry a sakura cow plushie, Joe makes a silly goofy suggestion, Kaoru gives his idiot muscle head a massage… and realizes he hasn’t been as low-key as he’d thought.

They Realise Their Feelings

Tadashi Kikuchi X Reader Ainosuke Shindo X Reader Kaoru Sakurayashiki Kojiro Nanjo X Reader

Requested: Anon

Request: Headcanons of how Tadashi, Ainosuke, Kaoru, and Kojiro would realise their feelings for reader?

Tadashi Kikuchi/Snake

🐍 Tadashi was dedicated to Adam so the fact that he even looked at you was proof enough. 🐍 Someone would have had to tell him what he was feeling and of course it was Adam especially if this realisation happened after his match with Langa when they started to mend their friendship. 🐍 Tadashi may take some time to really come to terms with it and even if you start dating it’ll take time for him to surrender himself to his feelings. 🐍 If there was one thing that made him realise that you were the one for him, it was when he came home one night and saw that you were still waiting for him in the living room, you had fallen asleep but you were there.

Adam had asked him to drive him to a couple of places, meaning that he finished work later than he usually did, when he opened the door the first thing he realised was that you were on the sofa fast asleep. Tadashi leaned over the back of the sofa to make sure that you were comfortable before going into the kitchen, he noticed a note on the microwave.

Work must be busy, hope this is okay, get some rest

He looked back at the sofa where you were sleeping and smiled, he heated up the food and ate it before walking back into the living room he crouched in front of you pressing a kiss to your temple. “Your back…” You mumbled as you looked at him. “Hi… What are you doing out here?” He asked. “I was waiting for you but I must have ended up falling asleep.” You rubbed your eyes as you sat up. “Well you go to bed, I’ll lock up and then I’ll be in, in a minute.” He promised. “Okay…” You stretched before getting up and walking into the bedroom, he did as locked up the house, he got changed and climbed into the bed wrapping an arm around you. “Thank you for waiting for me, Good night my love.” “Good night.” You mumbled as you linked your hands together, he doesn’t really know exactly what it was that you did that night but he decided that he loved you and he’d do anything for you, he just needed to gather the confidence to tell you that.

Ainosuke Shindo/ Adam

💘 Adam had a lot of issues following his childhood but I do feel like you would have had to know him when you were younger to even be close to him. 💘 You were very much in the same boat as Tadashi where you served a purpose for him, when it came to functions and business dinners you were good to have on his arm. You knew enough about him and knew how to act in those situations. 💘 Even despite the fact that he was pretty much only physically available you stuck with him because you honestly believed that in some way that he loved you to have kept you around for so long. 💘 The day he realised was the day that he got beaten by Langa after apologising to Tadashi he realised that there was someone else that he needed to apologise to as well.

You were sleeping when Ainosuke got home, he figured as much but given the time he was sure that it wouldn’t be long before you were up again, he waited for you and you were shocked to see him sitting in the kitchen with a cup of coffee. “You up? What time did you get home?” You asked. “4am maybe.” He answered. “Have you slept?” You asked, even after everything that he had done to you and the times he had expected you to finish work and then go to some even that had been planned. “I couldn't, I needed to talk to you about something.” He explained and you looked at him and waited for him to talk, he stood from where he was sitting and walked over to you, you could tell that had showered since he came in “just listen to me okay?” “Alright…” You nodded as he moved to stand in front of you, almost caging you in. “I’m sorry.” He said softly. “Sorr-” He cut you off with a soft kiss. “I said listen, I’ve treated you badly since we started this relationship, you’ve always deserved better and I don’t know what you're still doing here, you should have left months ago.” He said. “I’m here because I love you.” You answered honestly and he stopped for a second before a smile that reminded you of when you were younger stretched across his face. “The truth is I love you too and I guess I thought this was one way to stop you from leaving me but I promise I’ll be making up for this for as long as you tolerate me.” He promised.

Kaoru Sakurayashiki/Cherry

🌸 When you both started dating you were very interested in each other but life started to get in the way. 🌸 Kaoru ended up busy with work and then with S when he started taking part in the races and of course he was keeping that a secret from you. 🌸 You did bear with it for a little while before you tried to address it but he just told you that he was busy, mostly because he didn’t want to tell you about the skating he was worried that you’d think differently of him. 🌸 The day that he realised that he had made a mistake and that he didn’t want to live without you was when you were actually in the process of leaving.

Kaoru came home one day and heard you in the bedroom, he didn’t think much of it until he actually went into the bedroom and saw the suitcase on your shared bed “where are you going?” Kaoru asked. “I don’t think this is working.” You answered, he could see the tears in your eyes and realised exactly what he had done by keeping all these secrets. “Wait.” He stepped around the bed to try and get to you but you shook your head. “No I waited, you don’t have time for me and you spend most nights out of the house.” You said as you threw more clothes into the suitcase. “(Y/N) please…” He begged, he knew how bad everything looked when you talked him through it but if you’d let him explain. “Kaoru, what is it that you want?” You asked. “I know everything says otherwise but I don’t know what I would do without you.” He answered. “Mmm.” You hummed. “Let me show you what I do at night and then you can decide what you want to do.” He suggested. “Alright.” You nodded, you decided to give him one more chance considering you didn’t actually want it to end. Kaoru showed you Carla and explained everything that came with her.

The true show of trust came when he ended up in hospital, he woke up and you were there, he wasn’t sure that anyone apart from Joe would be there, he actually forgot that he put you down as his emergency contact. “You're here?” He asked. “Where else would I be?” You asked. “I love you Kaoru even if you do keep secrets from me.” “I promise things will be different, I have plenty of time to make up for it.” He said taking your hand “if you’ll let me.” “1 more chance.” You agreed.

Kojiro Nanjo/ Joe

🍝You kojiro had been friends since you were young but you only found out about his skating habit when you visited S for the first time and saw him and his fanclub. 🍝 Kojiro always thought that you were pretty, he just never wanted to ruin your friendship by dating you (he also thought that Kaoru might kill him if he messed it up) but the truth was the attention he was getting from other girls was starting feel less appealing 🍝 He flirted with everyone but had a hard time letting anyone in for real so when you asked him to go out with you there was a reluctant acceptance even if he had known you forever. 🍝 Kojiro knew that he loved you when you said it for the first time, he didn’t realise until you made him think about it.

As usual that skater had caught everyone’s attention, he watched as they got through the whole course with no trouble before attempting to disappear, this time he caught you before you could get too far “where are you going?” He asked. “Me? Nowhere important.” She answered as you looked back at him. “Don’t want to stay for an actual race?” He asked. “Not really the racing type.” She shrugged, now that he was closer to her he was sure that he had seen her somewhere before. “Have we met before?” He asked. “I don’t think I’m supposed to tell you that Kojiro.” She smirked and he leaned forward, eyes widening as you took the mask off and revealed your face. Kojiro was floored, he had not expected you to be behind the mask “You never told me that you could skate.” He said. “You didn’t ask.” You shrugged “in all the years that we’ve known each other.” “How long have you known about this?” He asked. “Since before we started dating.” You smirked “I thought that I’d put all my cards on the table and ask you what you want.” “What does that mean?” He asked now closer to you than you realised. “Honestly I don’t feel like you're completely sure what you want and I just wanted you to know that I love and trust you enough to let you see everything and make your choice.” You put something into his back pocket “my key if you want to use it.”

The next morning you woke up with Kojiro’s arms wrapped around, he had stayed plenty of times before so there were clothes for him to change into when he got back although as per usual his chest was on show “Good morning.” You mumbled. “Mornin’” He mumbled softly. “Give me a minute and I’ll make breakfast.” “Let me help you.” You rolled over to face him properly and he smiled, pressing a kiss to your lips. “God I love you.” He said softly, pulling you into a tight hug before sitting up as if he were looking to get away from the situation he created. “Hey wait!” You called, he stopped “I love you too. I’ll be out in a minute.” “I’ll be waiting,” He said with a small smile as he got started on breakfast.

CG! Kaoru Sakurayashiki Headcanons!

he would be the type to not make it his business at first what you do with your time is your business

but that would change slowly as he got more and more accustomed to walking in and seeing you wrapped in a blanket watching disney movies

he would however see how you really didn’t know how to take of yourself being small after all. seeing all the cookies and chips you ate he assumed that were “dinner”

then and there decided that he needed to look after you to make sure you were in good health, safe and happy

with him as your caregiver you feel the safest you have ever felt he’s always making sure you’re not hurting whether it be physically, emotionally, or mentally

“little angel are you hurt? come here let papa see.”

he would kind of be a worried parent in that sense

you both often stop at kojiro’s restaurant for dinner or lunch and you always catch them bickering

“you’re not giving my baby all that sugar it’s not good for them kojiro!!!”

“but kaoru they are so cute i want spoil them too!! it’s just cake!!”

“how many times have i told you not to call me that name!!”

he’s the type to listen intently to whatever you have to say regardless how far you slip. if you’re in babyspace he would nod along to your babbles and encourage you to “talk” more

he is the type to have strict rules but they are rules that keep you happy such as eat all your veggies, bedtime at 10, ect.

i feel like he would feel the need to get your own room, granted you sleep with him every night but you would have your own room to play and nap time

it would have a noise machine, a rocking chair, toys,stuffies, ect.

he treasures those quiet moments when you just wrap yourself around him half asleep as he sings to you while rocking you

“sweet dreams sweetheart papa loves you so much i’ll be here to keep the scary monsters away”

Matchablossom oneshot!

Doing homework at Kojiro's restaurant had become a habit for Miya, he'd ask for help when he saw that Joe wasn't too busy and other times he had Kaoru checking his work all evening. The three of them were used to it, to the point where Kaoru usually brought his laptop for Miya to use it.

One of those days when Miya had to check something for his essay, he found a weird file titled as "Uni Work- Falling in love". He understood the tittle even if it was in english, but the rest of the work was way harder to understand. Yet he knew that a lot of the work talked about "he" and "My best friend". Let's be honest; anyone could guess who that was, but the question here was "Why?"

"Cherry!" Miya called out for Kaoru, he was taking some notes on his notebook but he looked up with a questioning look. "What's this?"

Kaoru's frown changed into a surprised expression when he read the tittle of an old work of his. He sighed and sat next to Miya "It was an essay about falling in love that I had to write back in college"

"You wrote five pages talking about love, you? I can't believe that" Miya said raising one of his eyebrows as he crossed his arms. Kaoru gave him a similar look but not so cheeky. "Like, you have never dated anyone but this says 'boyfriend', lies "

Kaoru covered his face at the word 'boyfriend', it was embarrassing to think about that paper and all the things he had said in it. It wasn't his fault. It had been his professor who set the topic of the essay and it had been some else who gave him the idea to write about a fake romantic relationship.

"Wait," another voice sounded close to them and Kaoru groaned, knowing what was coming."is that your 'Falling in love' work?" Kojiro sounded to happy about it and Kaoru just wanted to hit him in the face with the laptop.

"You know about this?!" Miya asked not entirely believing that Cherry had written such a thing when he was younger.

"I was the one to give him the idea to write about us"

________

"Us?" Kaoru had asked years before. He was visibly stressed, his hair was in the ugliest bun you could make and he was wearing pyjamas. "We aren't dating, Kojiro"

"I know that" Kojiro had said rolling his eyes, he let the groceries he had bought for his best friend on the counter. "I also know friendship and relationships aren't too different. Yes, there are kisses and touches in between. But the essence is the same. I love you and you love me. Try working with that"

Kaoru had looked at him for a while. Maybe he was right, but he had never fallen in love so he couldn't tell. Well, that's what he believed back in the day. No matter if he knew or not, it seemed hard to put feeling into paper.

"I mean, you can talk about how we met many years ago, just talk about our friendship. And at some point of that say that we kissed and he confessed to each other. Like, huh...What are they called? A slow burn?"

"Slow burn..." Kaoru wasn't aware, but that was the best way to describe his and Kojiro's relationship.

Then he started thinking about what things could he talk about in his essay, because he had too many memories with the other man. He also questioned if he should add hints of feelings in the early years of their friendship or if just describing them the way they were was enough. Slow burn might have worked that way, right?

'Love seems complex, something so abstract and yet so many have achieved it. I believed through my whole life that I wouldn't reach such thing, but it didn't worry me. I had many reasons to not let it get to me, maybe because I was a kid, mostly that explained it. But, even so, I was always accompanied by someone dear to me.' Kaoru wrote the first paragraph, and somehow it wasn't weird. It was true that he had never been alone ever since he had met Kojiro and just like this one had said, they loved each other.

'This person, I trust him with my life as he has always been looking out for me. Our paths were interlaced back when we were just toddlers, both curious to meet someone new. It doesn't matter if we couldn't appreciate each other the way we do now or if we can't remember everything we've been through. Because we are certain that our history goes way back'

The man remembered in a bright blur the way his father had encouraged him to come close to a green haired kid that held his mom's pinky finger. The next thing that happened was told to him years later by Kojiro's mother. Apparently, Kaoru had come closer to the other kid and introduced himself clumsily, and Kojiro had done the same thing a bit more shy. Then Kaoru had hold his pinky finger towards Kojiro, and this one held on it before freeing his mom's finger. It sounded endearing each time the woman had told the story to them and Kaoru could never forget her words. "In that moment, I knew Kaoru would take great care of Kojiro" Truth be said, Sakurayashiki believed that Kojiro was the one that always took care of him and as young adults, he even spoiled Kaoru a bit.

'We've taken care of each other blindly for many years, even with our careless decisions and dumb impulses. Even when we've been angry, sad or disappointed, we've always watched out for one another. So many anecdotes can't be told in one single work and, more importantly, the feelings that they cause will probably never be written down. Such emotions can't be caged in in sentences, they can not be ended with a simple dot and three could not cover them either.'

Talking about the emotions that revolved around their friendship was strange for Kaoru, even if he was avoiding writing them. The mere mention of them made something shake in his body, something that he couldn't pin point and that he didn't feel like discovering. He physically shook himself and glanced over to his tiny kitchen where a man too tall to stan there was cooking something.

'Safety and comfort might be one of the few feelings I can truly talk about without leaving out their whole essence. Having him around eases the air, which gets filled with aromes of the dishes that he puts his heart into. There's no one who can replace his notable yet not intrusive presence, nor anyone that can make feel as in peace as he does'

His words were honest, too honest, but Kaoru knew it was right even if he hated to admit it. It was difficult to deny it when  the smells that he wrote about came to him in a delicious air take. And it was difficult to deny it when he trusted the other man to be around his private space that he hated sharing.

'I've denied it so many times, the way he brings something out of me that no one else can. He was the first person to see me fail at something I wanted to be good at, he saw me wanting to give it up. Yet he has pushed me forward and told me to question if it was what I truly wanted to do. I did want to give up on so many things just because others would judge me. But truth was that I truly wanted to achieve every single one of them for myself, and he was able to make me take the right decision.'

'One of the sights that I hate the most is to see his eyes without all the warmth he always brings me. I dislike the way those eyes cover in tears, I've always wanted to keep them lively and happy. I thought that it was selfish, wanting to profit myself from his unique energy. But I learnt that it was because I care so much about him to the point that it hurt to see him cry. And then the only thing that I wished for was to embrace him and hold him until his heart was fixed again, until his irises held their usual light'

"Are you taking a break?" Kojiro asked him when he stopped tipping for a few minutes. He had written over three pages, only two to go.

"Yes...I've done a lot of the first draft. But I think that I have to start the...Falling in love part and that might be fucking hard" Kaoru leaned back in his chair and he could hear Kojiro chuckle. "Don't laugh, dimwit! I don't know how to show that, like what's falling in love? How is a kiss? What's the perfect moment for one? What does it make you feel?"

"God, too many questions. Falling in love is..."

'Falling in love with him was something that passed unnoticed. I guess we were too young when we fell for each other to even realize that it had happened. It always came as natural to feel more relaxed when we were together, and it was hard to pull us apart. What hit hard was realising what those feelings were.'

"...And I think we are different in this. If I noticed feelings like that I'd be like 'wow...So that's it' . You, on the other hand, would hate it and deny it, because that's new"

'We had different reactions to it, yet it caused an impact in our lives. While he was in awe, even glad about finding out why our friendship felt so different from any other that he had; I took it way more harshly, afraid of rejection and fearing that my feeling would break us apart.'

"Kissing...I don't know how could we kiss" Kojiro sat at Kaoru's desk and thought about it thoroughly. For the pink haired it was such a taboo to think about kissing Kojiro, but it seemed it wasn't that big of a deal for him. "Lazy, it would be lazy. You know, when we shared bed and talk about dumb shit late at night. Like one of us would just spit out what he feels while facing the ceiling and..."

'Confessing wasn't the most romantic thing you could expect. But either way, overly romantic experiences don't fit us. We laid in bed together, like we used to do when we were kids and the words just slipped from his mouth like the sleep had turned off the switched that helped him keep those feeling at bay. His voice had been so soft that I wasn't startled at all, it just made me feel...Complete.'

"How can you imagine such a scene?" Kaoru had asked before writing down 'their first kiss' and Kojiro smiled at him softly. "I just like to watch romance" oh god, how had he lied that day.

'Feeling my heart fill with the feelings that I hid for so long, I turned to my side to find him facing me as well. Then it was matter of second that we found each other half way, connecting in a lazy and gentle kiss. There was no rush to make it any harsher, we had waiting so long for it. And it made my brain shut, every single concern that I ever had was gone with the touch of his lips. He had sighed against mine, something subtle and content that increased my heart beat. In that moment, I just knew that all the love we held for each other over the years, would always be my dearest treasure.'

"This was amazing to read, Sakurayashiki. Yours and your partner's relationship are the most romantic history I've read coming from a student. The little details about your life were captivating and endearing" His professor had stopped Kaoru to praise his work, the work that made him question if he truly felt something else that wasn't friendship.

"Thank you so much sensei, I'm glad I could show some of my emotions in it"

___________________

"I- What the hell?" Miya exclaimed when he got the read a version of the essay in Japanese "Guys, this is fucking gay and like- you can't just make this with no feelings."

"Come on, Miya. Kaoru is just that good with words, he got an amazing grade afterwards. I was amazed when I read it myself" Kojiro praised his best friend, who hit him on his side to shut him up.

"You know...I'd love a copy of that paper" Kaoru gazed at Kojiro later that night, they were drinking wine and maybe it had gotten to Kojiro already.

"Why?"

"It holds a lot of meaning to me" Kojiro said shamelessly, he had a smile on his face and it didn't falter even when Kaoru frowned at him. "The way you talked about us, every single part, from the truth to the...lies. It's just so pure"

"I won't give you a copy" Kaoru said seriously and his friend's expression saddened slightly."One day- One day I'll write something for you, all true, no lies."

One day he'd write all his feelings for him and maybe he'd kiss him softly and lazily like he had wanted ever since Kojiro described that scenario.

A little drabble for Reki's birthday: A Night to Remember

Words: 1674

Summary: Reki had been alone on his birthday for as long as he could remember, his old friend being the only one who cared to remember other than his own family. This year, however, was different but not in a way Reki had expected.

Birthday celebrations had never been on the forefront of Reki's mind, with him not being one to care about his own birthday, so having to be reminded by his mother that ‘today’s the day’ upon waking up wasn't unusual for him. He knew she meant well by surprising him with a slice of cake and a kiss on the forehead, but he just couldn't find it within himself to be excited. He was happy to celebrate anyone else's birthday but his own, why? Because it reminded Reki of the bitterness of being alone. He'd always spent his birthdays with his best friend, always skating all over Okinawa and enjoying their time together, basking in their friendship and ignoring all else. They would both celebrate at the Kyan household and then go over to his house to celebrate before travelling to the skatepark and having their own little party. Just the two of them. Now Reki was alone. His mind, however, reminded him of his friends, of Langa, of Miya and of the adults they all hung out with, but he reminded himself that he hadn't told any of them that his birthday was coming up and frankly he didn't care to. Reki would rather find himself losing a beef than facing his own birthday.

Brushing off his mother with a smile and sending her out the room with a thank you, Reki set aside his slice of cake and set to getting up. His expression was anything but happy as his eyes held an emptiness within them and his smile upon waking up was all but vanished and had been replaced with a frown. He tugged his clothes on sluggishly and trudged out his door, closing it a bit forcefully and rattling the shelves and boards mounted onto his wall, he was sure something had fallen off but didn’t remember to check. He didn't care to note Koyomi's judging stare as he walked past her bedroom looking akin to an office worker who just ended a nine-hour shift. She didn't dare bother to ask about his weird demeanour, as yesterday he was acting weird too, so she just figured it was just not her problem and left him to it. It wasn't long before Reki was off on his way to school, riding along on his skateboard with his bag heavy on his back.

Reki skated past his and Langa's meeting spot, too absorbed in his own thoughts to pay notice to the fact that he wasn't there. Reki didn't want to assume the worst as his life had been better recently, but Langa wasn't even around at all the day before; wasn't at school and definitely wasn't anywhere else. Reki had made sure to visit Langa's house to see if he was there only to be waved off by Nanako, Langa's mother, as she said he's off on his own business. He'd hid his disappointment and looked elsewhere, being told by both Cherry and Joe that he hadn't been around them either. It was like he'd vanished off the face of the Earth! Either that, or just didn't want Reki around him, but Reki shook that thought off as soon as it'd come into his head. Langa disappearing the day before his birthday only made him more bitter about the fact that he was alone today, his hopes dashed and crushed. The universe always seemed to be against him in some way and always made an effort to show that, and this time it was the fact that after all this time he finally had a friend to celebrate with who just happened to have disappeared right before it. Typical. With a sigh, Reki continued to school, finding that Langa (again) wasn’t attending. Reki was bitterly reminded why he didn’t like celebrating his birthday.

School started and finished with nothing interesting happening, no one even looked Reki’s way or even knew that it was his birthday which Reki was internally thankful for – he just wanted the day to be over so he can go back to enjoying himself. Without even realising, it wasn’t just school that had passed, but the day as well. He paid no mind to his family who tried to celebrate with him and numbly opened any presents he received. He couldn’t even enjoy the irony of receiving new skater gloves that were mistakenly made blue instead of his trademark red. Langa would have smiled at that, Reki mused, a small smile making its way onto his face. Langa. The thought of him dimmed Reki’s sudden happiness and brought him right back down to his saddened self as a question weighed heavy on Reki’s mind ‘Where was he?’

Reki soon found himself in his room and away from his family, away from their happiness and away from everything that should’ve made him happy, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that this is the birthday that could have been different. Anger boiled deep within Reki as he picked up a stray skateboard wheel (was that what had fallen from his shelf that morning?) and threw it in the direction of his desk. Reki grit his teeth and forced himself to calm down, he didn’t want to have an outburst until after the day was over, he owed himself that much. It turns out he didn’t even need to make the effort to calm himself as he found his window open with a small white envelope laid neatly atop his windowsill that did it for him. Driven on impulse, Reki rushed over to his window and practically ripped open the envelope to get to the letter inside, his eyes wide and intrigued.

The letter read: ‘Reki, meet us please at S as soon as you see this, there’s a surprise there waiting for you.’

Instantly, Reki knew it was from Langa simply because of the horrendous handwriting. Stifling a laugh, Reki grabbed a spare board from his floor, opened his window up wide, skated down the ramp he’d made himself long ago and skated off into the night. Reki knew exactly where to go and which route to take after spending night after night travelling to the same secluded spot, but this time felt different. Not the type of different where it was obvious, but just different in the fact that the ‘S’ had been shut down after the tournament was held, it wasn’t to come back, so why was he invited there? Why did Langa want to meet him there after they’d already had their own beef? Reki didn’t want to dwell on it, not tonight, he’d only hoped that Langa would explain why he disappeared and why after the time they spent apart did he want to meet at night at ‘S’.

When he got there, he did not expect to be hit with five different confetti cannons at once followed by a chorus of ‘SURPRISE!’, nor did he expect himself to fall off his board straight after. So, he lay there on the ground shellshocked and blinded by the spotlights that somehow turned on? How had he not noticed the sudden light? Sitting himself up, he turned his head to see his group of friends all standing around a table decorated with foods, decorations, flowers and, of course, confetti. He shook some confetti out of his hair and stood up, a big smile on his face. Of course, his friends would pull a stunt like this and hide it from him, how could he think any different from them? Just looking at the table they’re around he can tell that the food on it had been made by Joe, the flowers brought by Shadow and the decorations by Miya. The lighting, he knew, had to be done by Cherry, who else is that good with technology that can pull off such a stunt? But that’s those five accounted for, so where was Langa? Just as he was asking himself this, a presence quickly approached him from behind and engulfed him in a hug, pulling him against their chest and resting their head on his shoulder. Reki didn’t need to look or guess to know that the person was Langa, he just knew.

“Happy birthday, Reki, I hope you’ll enjoy the private party we all set up for you.” Langa had said, his voice sending shivers down Reki’s back.

“Is this why I haven’t seen you until now?”

“Yes, I’m sorry, I wish I could have been with you but there were complications.” Langa’s tone was laced with sadness, and Reki wanted to be upset at the fact he couldn’t hang out with him until now, but he was too relieved and happy at his presence.

“Don’t be, I’m really glad that I get to see you today, I was worried about you.” And it was true, deep down Reki didn’t want to replay what had happened to their relationship when ‘S’ was still a thing. Their broken promise, their distance from one another, the pain wasn’t something Reki wanted to experience again, so he worried for what he might have done or what might have happened to either Langa or their relationship.

“Are you two going to get over here? The food’s getting cold, and I’m getting bored.” It was Miya who spoke up and Reki found himself laughing and genuinely smiling.

“We’re coming!” They both said in unison, detaching from each other and going to the table and starting their party.

When Reki returned home that night he found the slice of cake he’d put aside on his desk that his mother had given him when he woke up. He picked it up and sat himself down on his bed to enjoy it. Maybe birthdays can still be fun after all, he’d thought to himself as a lasting piece of confetti fell from a lock of his hair. This was a new era of his life, and he was going to enjoy it with them. Though, he probably should have asked them about how they knew it was his birthday.
