I was thinking about how Saiki's friends would react to finding out about all the trauma and abuse he has suffered throughout his life, but the one that got to me the most was Nendou. Of course all of Saiki's friends would be upset and angry to hear about how the incident in 2nd grade affected Saiki or the torture Kusuke put him through, but Nendou would be absolutely devasted. He legitimately sobbed at the idea that Saiko was leaving PK Academy, someone who he was barely even friends with. He clearly feels so deeply for the people in his life. Imagine how heartbroken he would be to find out the boy he considers to be his best friend went through so much pain and is still dealing with the psychological trauma. The boy Nendou blooded himself and almost broke his back for to protect from a falling bookshelf. He loves Saiki so much and already feels a responsibility to protect him. Knowing that his best buddie was going through so much this whole time would break him. Nendou may not be the smartest when it comes to most things, but he is one of the if not the most emotionally intelligent character in the series. He is very in tune with and comfortable expressing his emotions, which is the exact type of person Saiki needs. I think Nendou would make it his personal mission to make sure Saiki knows he is loved and that his friends are there for him.

thinking about hairo × nendou and how saiki can't read nendous mind... and hairo is so Energetic about Everyone and Everything (especially his friend and rival Nendou) that saiki just Does Not Notice when they start dating. Because Hairo's thought patterns Do Not Change. Maybe he thinks "hmmm, which gym would be best for a date" and saiki cringes because the gym is not a good place for a date what. And he genuinely picks up on NOTHING until after one trip to get ramen Hairo and Nendou kiss and saiki does the little glasses break thing with his face in shock because he's so taken off guard because he didn't know and he's not used to not knowing things. and nendou's like "what's wrong buddy? didn't you know im pansexual?" and saiki is rebooting as kaidou and and whoever else is with them panic like "SINCE WHEN ARE YOU TWO DATING???" and nendou's like "whoops we forgot to tell you guys. sorry" or something as saiki dies of shock.

I just saw you have kusou saiki as one of your listed characters! I'd love to hear your headcanons if your up to it :D
Sure thing <3
THIS IS KINK CONTENT, DNI IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT
Tumblr media
So anyone who’s seen saiki k knows that saiki doesn’t speak
Not verbally anyway
He uses his telepathy to speak directly into peoples’ minds
Because of that I think people around him would be super shocked if they were to hear him burp
Even more so than they would for most people
They aren’t used to him actually making noise or something actually coming out of his mouth
He usually muffles anything that he feels coming up when he’s out in public but he honestly probably couldn’t be bothered when he’s just at home with his parents
So his mom and dad are pretty used to hearing him burp around the house
He only ever excuses himself when his mom scolds him though lol
Despite the fact that he always stifles his burps when he’s at school he still doesn’t even bother to when he has friends over at his house
His main motivation for being as quiet as he is is to avoid drawing attention to himself but that isn’t really an issue in his own house with only his parents/friends (he also probably hopes Teruhashi might think he’s gross and discontinue her crush on him 💀)
But no I feel like the first time they came over he fully belched into his fist and then moved on and it actually made his friends jump (though they weren’t completely sure why)
And then Aren immediately went “DUDE?!?!?!?” And Nendou of course challenged him to a contest to which he immediately refused
I do think he’d be a little embarrassed if his friends had a big reaction but he definitely wouldn’t express that in any way
He’s not suuuuuuper careful about keeping it contained in public, he figures he can just use his abilities to compensate
If he burps in front of his friends at home his mom’ll usually smack his shoulder and go “KU?!!!!”
He lets her of course
As for the quality of his burps
I think his abilities make it to where he’s prone to some pretty bad indigestion
So his burps tend to come out pretty deep and painful sounding
Like waaaaay deeper than you’d expect just by looking at him
Actually, I think the first time Kaido heard him burp he thought it was Nendou
And of course Nendou being Nendou immediately went “NO THAT WAS MY BEST BUDDY SAIKI 😁👍”
His burps do hurt after awhile
They’re pretty strong and his ribs’ll actually be sore if they continue for too long
Sometimes the only thing that makes him feel better is his mom rubbing his back
Despite his blasé attitude towards burping at home he absolutely WILL NOT if his brother is home
He’ll quite literally teleport halfway across the world to burp and then teleport back
Of course Kusuke knows exactly what his little brother’s doing but neither of them ever acknowledges it

"PAL! Wanna go get some ramen?"
The guy's arms swung wildly above his head, a stern Kaidou telling him to watch wear he flings those things - complete with his usual drabble about powers and 'Dark Reunion'.
But it was too late.
He had accidentally nudged off his best buddy's weird clip things.
And with that, Saiki had come crashing down to the ground. Unable to move. ---

saiki k headcanons lets go (eventually saiteru only, but for now it’s every character and is just)
1. nendou didn’t really care at all when saiki told the friend group about the whole psychic thing. nendou was just like “oh okay :] wanna get ramen” while everyone else was in shocked silence.
2. aiura and teruhashi didn’t like eachother, but one time chiyo invited both of them to her house and they clicked. aiura painted her nails (teruhashi s), and treated her like a normal person. made crude jokes around her and everything. teruhashi was drawn to her and now they’re best friends.
3. the first person in the friend group teruhashi turned her perfect mask off for was kuboyasu. she just figured he’s so chill that he couldn’t care.
4. saikis love language is quality time, believe it or not. but not quality time where they do 473847 things, quality time where they just sit in the same room together. maybe across a table doing homework , maybe going to a small little restaurant and eating while having eachothers hands on top of eachother on the table. he loves it (he wouldn’t admit it tho)
5. saiki knows what everyone wants (ofc since he can read thoughts), and he always like will fulfill their needs. he won’t admit that he likes helping them. (ex: __ is thirsty. out of nowhere they see a waterbottle in their backpack. saiki makes them think it’s always been there so that he doesn’t seem like a good person (shiver me timber’s)!
6. nendou is good at comforting people. not in a “it’s gonna be okay bb” way, but in a “i’ll distract you” if he sees someones sad, he goes up to them and is like yo buddy wanna get some ramen?
7. the reason teruhashi always calls herself the perfect pretty girl in her head is bcuz she doesn’t rlly believe it herself.
8. saikis really good at birthday presents, but he doesnt care for them unless he cares for the person. (he pretends to not care for his friends and get them shitty presents when its rlly exactly what they wanted) (did that make sense)
9. kaidou is the type of guy to give the person he likes one of his dark reunion things (ex: he gives arent his little arm bandages and gives him a tutorial on how to kill the dark reunion)
10. (add on to #3) kuboyasu hangs out with teruhashi a lot. idk i like to believe they’re best friends.
11. teruhashi took a liking to nendou bcuz hes nice and he repels people so she can just take a break around him.
12. yumehara and aiura date i don’t make the rules ...
13. hairo is actually fun to hang out with. he’s a very loyal and determined guy lol
oky saiteru now loool (so saiteru antis stop reading here)
1. they make food together. like saiki will make cake and coffee jelly and teruhashi will make the actual meal. saiki insists he doesn’t need an actual meal since his metabolism, but teruhashi says it’s bs and makes him eat his greens. he gets angry but obviously loves it anyways.
2. they end up going to the same college and obviously since god is in teruhashis side , they dorm right next to eachother. it’s become a routine (since saiki and teruhashi both have morning classes) for teruhashi to just give him a coffee in the stairs when they’re going down in the morning. also for them to go down the stairs together. teruhashi doesnt know how the hell saiki always manages to be there but shes not complaining. in reality it’s because saiki (he won’t say this outloud but) reads her mind to see right when she’s gonna leave.
3. teruhashi finds saikis teleporting the absolute coolest thing ever, so saiki always takes her on dates across the world.
4. saikis insists that using his powers to do things teruhashi wants is “100% necessary” and that if he didnt do it the gods would come for him
5. when saiki told the crew about his powers teruhashi fainted into his arms, woke up in his arms, realized she was in his arms, fainted again, and then apologized for fainting twice. then saiki said its okay and turned his lips up the tiniest bit into what could maybe be a smile and she fainted once again. 
6. when saiki lets teruhashi use his first name she passes out. also the first time he says kokomi instead of teruhashi she passes out.
7. teruhashi helps saiki embrace his powers.
8. teruhashi and saiki rlly are invincible together.
9. sometimes for shits and giggles saiki will scare the shit out of teruhashi by just talking in her brain whenever she’s thinking cute things (or things in general) about saiki.
10. teruhashi always talks to saiki in class through her brain. he ignores her like 99% of the time. ex: “saiki this class is so borinnnggg” in the brain and then outwardly she’s like glowing and smiling and saiki finds it the funniest thing.
okay that’s it sorry if they’re shitty they’re my personal ones okay bye

23. “Why’s it smell like smoke?” Kaidou-centric | reader isn't as involved, just a known character in the story | not establish relationship
Kaidou begs Nendo and the guys to help him cook something to make a bento to impress the reader, saiki tags along to ensure you dont get food posioning, ("Y/N won't get food poisioning ! And If she does it would be the work of the Dark Reunion!!",,,"right,")
Just a bunch of kicthen mishaps and At the end Kaidou is dejected cause all the food is burnt and underseasoned, about to give up, You show up (Saiki ended up telepathically asking you to show up at his house) and you think its sweet he tried so hard, so you say smyhing like "clearly yiu were possesed by the Dark reunion! And they made you forget you're super good cooking skills!"
"Huh?? Yeah?!! Thats right!!!"
"But no worries Kaidou! Because I promise you I will teach you how to cook and you shall relearn your skills and take the Dark reunion down!!"
("I thought the Dark Reunion were trying to destroy the world, not destroy opposing culinary masters?"-Saiki, visual imagine: Gordon ramsey esc bg w/ 2 teams red and blue and saiki innyhe middle of the shot, contemplating)
Aa srry for rambling I really love the idea of doing bits like these xdd
Anyway, you agree to help him learn- Ah- uh Relearn how to cook,
-💙
“Why’s it smell like smoke” x Kaidou Shun
Tumblr media
YES! I’m not sure which ones were canonically bad chefs because I know somewheres in a cooking episode someone sticks a fork in the microwave(I know a simple google search will tell me and by the time I finish writing this I will have searched it). Also don’t feel bad for rambling I think it’s so interesting to read what someone wants in specifics, because it gives me things to work with though their are aspects to both specific and non specific requests that are nice, well Anyways I head cannon majority of my favorite characters to be either Gorden Ramsey gourmet chefs or like a disaster in the kitchen so here’s the little writing...
⚠️Mentions of burning down a house while inside(no one actually does it’s referred to when Kaidou uses an open flame stove though) Nendou burns his arm on the stove minorly not bad at all like a touch⚠️
Tumblr media
“Listen buddy, I don’t think this is a good idea…” Nendou says patting Kaidou’s back practically knocking Kaidou’s soul out of his body.
“No, no, no! It’s the best idea I’ve ever had!” Kaidou shouts while flailing his arms around.
Nendou although reluctantly agrees.
Before they can get to far into their plan Saiki is right along side them asking what they think their doing seven though he knows good and well Kaidou wants to make you a bento box, that would result in Kaidou’s house catching on fire, or something, maybe you’d get food poisoning.
“Oh I want to make (Y/n) a bento!” Kaidou says smiling brightly at Saiki a drastic difference between Kaidou’s normal on edge about dark reunion behavior and his behavior when he spoke or even thought about you.
“Why do you want to help?” Kaidou asks hopefully as he sort of doubts Nendou’s cooking skills.
“Not really, but you might give them food poisoning if I don’t…” Saiki murmurs telepathically.
“They won’t get food poisoning!” Kaidou whines “and if they did it would be the work of dark reunion”
“Right…” Saiki says nodding his head.
“What ever come on we’re out of ingredients at home!” Kaidou says leading the three of them away from the school building and to whatever market Kaidou desired.
Around an hour in to Kaidou and Nendou trying to work a rice pot they quite and decide they might get further if they try to cook the rice on the stove which is a horrible idea, that they are able get away with as Saiki stepped out of the room to use the restroom.
Ag the most Saiki may have been gone for ten minutes! Ten minutes was all it took for Nendou and Kaidou to make about fifty mistakes, first they put two different pits of water boiling one to cook rice and the other to make macaroni.
Ok, Saiki thinks to himself, not an ounce of salt in either pots of water for the macaroni and their is a perfectly good rice pot sitting across from Nendou unplugged.
“Why wouldn’t you use the rice pot?” Saiki asks motioning towards the pot.
“It’s broken!” Kaidou huffs.
“Tried plugging it in?” Saiki plugs the rice pot in and it beeps alerting them of the heat it was about to put off as it warmed itself.
Both Nendou and Kaidou lower their gazes to the floor fumbling with their fingers as Saiki scoffs disappointedly.
“Saiki buddy, we’re out of milk do you mind?” Nendou asks and Saiki simply nods before walking out the house but not before telling you that you should probably go and see what their doing before Kaidou burns down his whole house with them inside.
Immediately after Saiki leaves Nendou burns himself on the flames of the stove. So of course Kaidou being the good host runs to get the first aid kit and in the process burns the rice he forgot to take off the flame, and suddenly the cheese packet for the macaroni is melting onto the stove as well.
It’s a mess both Kaidou and Nendou are panicking, theirs boiled water spilling over the pot, it stinks Nendou’s holding his burnt hand while Kaidou chases him with the first aid kit because Nendou is running from the water that continuesly just boiling over and dripping onto the floor, at some point Kaidou begins to just give up and prey his mom comes home soon, and when his front door is opened he thinks that maybe just maybe his prayers were answered.
They weren’t it was Saiki back with the milk, how face palms at the absolute mess the two made of the kitchen.
Almost as soon as the problem began it’s over and cleaned as the two sit in the living room waiting for Saiki to call them back in.
He calls them back in and lets Kaidou package the burnt food that tastes nasty and under seasoned and he now understands what he meant by saying he would tag along to prevent food poisoning.
All Kaidou wants to do is curl into a hall and cry, he just wants to impress you, because everyone else seems to think his child like nature is rather lame so he feels the need to impress you, he quickly ushers the other boys out of his house and curls onto the couch as he cries over the burnt food that would never impress you.
Eventually you arrive and knock softly on Kaidou’s door.
He drags his feet over to the door opening it to see you smiling at him, quickly he wipes his tears trying to hide the pink tint the tears left.
“We’re you crying?” You ask worriedly as you walk in cupping his face in your hands, if he wasn’t flushed already he would be now as you look at his glossy eyes.
He quickly shakes his head and you let out a sigh of relief, “Saiki told me that you had…” you pause trying to think of something. “Needed help cooking for someone…”
He looks at you wide eyed like a deer in headlights.
“He told you?” He whispers looking a little mortified.
“He did, but that’s ok, I’m here to help!” You say giving him a sweet smile and he nods defeatedly realizing his plan failed horrible.
“Why don’t you explain to me what happened?” You ask as he leads you into the kitchen.
“I uhmmm…” he stalls before mumbling the rest.
“What?” You also confused.
“I wanted to impress you, but I don’t do anything cool, so I thought if I made you a bento box you’d think I’m cool.” He says hiding his face in his arms.
“Oh Kaidou.” You hum “I always think you’re cool, and I think that it’s really sweet of you to try and cook for me” you reassure but seeing as he was still hiding it didn’t really work.
“I bet it wasn’t even your fault, it’s probably dark reunion possessing you.” At that his head shoots up and he’s responsive again.
“You’re right it burnt because of them” he shouts.
“Tell you what why don’t I help you cook this time?” He nods quickly accepting any time he can get to spend with you, and that’s how the two of you spend the weekend, ‘teaching’ Kaidou who really isn’t a horrible chef how to cook.

HEY HEY HEY!! how are you, sweetie??? i'm hoping you're having a good day!!! but . can i request for a flirty saiki with a shy s/o??? like . a swap au? idk how to call it but is one of that fanfic's where the main characther swap body's- usually the flirty one is y/n but since they swapped, the flirty one is saiki and i'm just so curious to see how the others would react to saiki being all flirty w/ y/n nas y/n being SERIOUSLY FLUSTERED. p-please 😳👉👈
------
I- 😌 this prompt is genius thank you very much.
This technically counts for the body swap thing I’ve been procrastinating,,, 😆 and okay this request probably made my day.
Flirty!Saiki would try to be lowkey, but since he’s psychic and everything he doesn’t actually know what that entails.
------
Flirty!Saiki
------
Word Count: 0.7k
Warnings: Minor mentions of throwing up
Characters: Saiki Kusuo
------
Days at PK academy start the same. You sidle over to Saiki’s desk, just waiting for him to arrive. You walk to school together, but for the sake of your little “game,” you rush to class to surprise your boyfriend. It’s become a game, Saiki trying to postpone the “inevitable”. He’s strangely into PDA (sometimes), and you’re not going to deny your poor little Kusuo from having his cake and eating it.
If your boyfriend didn’t want you to flirt with him, then he could tell you to stop. But Kusuo doesn’t. You’re always ready, locked and loaded with your arsenal consisting of, “hey Saiki… looking cute today…”, “I just have the best boyfriend, don’t I?”.
Kaidou’s become used to it. Hurling was common for the first few times you’d come with your sickeningly sweet PDA, and now Kaidou can proudly say he no longer has the visceral reaction to throw up. His urges to push Saiki into a trash can have reduced somewhat. If only Kaidou had the strength to fulfill his biggest dreams...
Nendou had been very upset. He could pretend that his best buddy hadn’t actually left the singles club, but when you’re always making a show of “liking Saiki” then Nendou has to face the truth. He doesn’t want to. Cue Nendou literally kidnapping your boyfriend for ramen to make up for the “torture” he’s been through.
You’re Yumehara’s crush. Not in a romantic sense, but in a “I wish I had your confidence” way. If she could walk up and just openly flirt with anybody… oh Lord, the power she could hold! Even before you and Saiki had started dating, you’d lean on his table and go to town.
Things are different.
You’re nowhere to be found. Usually, you’re one of the earliest people to arrive, just so you could play your game with Saiki. Everyone in class had gotten used to your antics. Had you died some sort of untimely death overnight?
And then you come in. Shrinking into yourself like you want to vanish, you’re different. You’re not the bold, brash, “did you know I’m dating Saiki Kusuo aha?” person you were yesterday. It’s like you’ve been inverted… with Saiki.
It’s just a far-fetched assumption; Saiki strolls in behind you – smirking! Time stops. Teruhashi freezes, blinking rapidly like she must be seeing things. This doesn’t make sense! Since when does Saiki smirk? Does he even smile?
Saiki’s left eye is twitching beneath his glasses, almost like he’s in physical pain but the smirk just won’t come off.
Everyone’s staring at you both like you’re a circus show. And then the most perplexing thing happens. You and Saiki are sitting next to each other (couple rights… Kaidou rioted when the seats were chosen) and everything should be fine. Maybe it’s a fluke. And then Saiki, still smirking like he’s possessed, drops a note on your table.
All Hell breaks loose. That should be your position! You open the note with trembling hands and melt into your seat. You laugh awkwardly, the kind of laugh someone makes when they’re so hopelessly enamored and so helplessly embarrassed at the affection they’re receiving.
Nendou’s tired of this mess. Like a normal best buddy, he grabs the note out of your hand, ignoring your squawk of surprise.
He barely gets to read one sentence before Saiki’s snatching it back with speed Nendou swears his best buddy didn’t have before.
“Don’t take something that’s not yours. It’s for my S/O.” Saiki turns to face you, smile permanently etched onto his face, “Do I get a reward for being the best boyfriend? I’ll take a kiss.”
How are you supposed to react? Teruhashi, for one, splutters and quickly reassures her fans that she’s not coming down with a sudden illness. Kaidou fainted way back (definitely not because of your antics, but because Dark Reunion is mentally attacking him).
Usually, you’d be on top of your game, responding back with your own well-timed compliment (or maybe even a kiss), but your tongue feels like lead, heavy in your mouth. You take the only plausible route of action and bury your face into your hands.
When Kusuo had said that Kusuke’s experiment would cause you to change personalities, you hadn’t expected to be flustered by literally handholding! Does Saiki feel like this all the time? Kusuo’s still standing by your table, almost as if he’s waiting for his kiss.
Okay. You can do this. You raise your head from your arms (and desperately pretend nobody else is in the room) and press a kiss to Saiki’s knuckles.
You lost 3 years of your life from that alone.

Hiiii! I’m new to the Saiki K fandom and I already love him pls 😩
Since you asked for requests, here goes one!
Saiki and reader have been dating for awhile now but their friends don’t know and they’re trying to keep it a secret but it’s so hard since they pop out of nowhere all the time. Can I request the instances where they’re trying to have alone time but they always get interrupted (lol) and then when they finally think they’re in the clear, their friends find them kissing and they get caught and their reactions
Anyways you don’t have to write it but if you do, thank you so much!! ♥️
Saiki and a GN s/o getting caught kissing:
To ensure that minimal attention is drawn to both yourself and him, Kusuo asked you to keep your relationship a secret from your friends, yet he would still gently brush your hand in the halls and hold you close when you were in private, as he wants to ensure that you know he loves you.
You had both stayed late, due to the "annoyances" finding reasons so stay until they could track you both down.. and upon believing you were safe.. you let your guards down, to share a sweet kiss.. until..
Nendou: His eyes are wide but he has a bright smile, until it turns into a playful grimace. "Yo Saiki, buddy! can't you two keep it in the bedroom? that's gross! haha!" You now won't live this down, because he's so proud his best friend has a partner.
Kaidou: He turns bright red and let's out a scream, before covering his face and trying to run away. "I-I DIDNT SEE ANYTHING I SWEAR-!" he won't mention it again, because he's far too embarrassed to ever speak of it, even in passing.
Aren: He blushes and seemingly glares at the wall. "Y-You two had to do this here-?!" He quickly walks away because he's a little flustered, but he will tease you about it a little later, but if asked to keep quiet about it, he'll accept with a little smile.
Toritsuka: He grins and the first thing he attempts is to take a picture of the encounter. "Oh Saaaaaiki~" He tries to hold this above you both, but Saiki puts him in his place, but he's not shy about almost mentioning it again.. before he's promptly silenced.
Teruhashi: She blushes brightly and politely excuses herself from the situation, but she's a little annoyed. She doesn't directly mention it, but she certainly makes hints towards your relationship in front your friends. "you and saiki have a really close bond! don't you, y/n?~"
Akechi: He stares, not really understanding that he should leave. "oh! Kusuo! I didn't know you and y/n were in a relationship! you certainly seem to care about each other a lot I mean you're engaging in pda, which stands for public display of affection!" he's..  very supportive. but he will keep it a secret.

Could you write something about now everyone thinks Kuboyasu and the reader are in a secret relationship so Kaidou, nendou and saiki spy on them to see if they actually are (which they are but just don’t wanna tell anyone yet)
Hi! This was such a fun idea, I was super excited to write it. I hope I did it justice! Thank you for your request!
----
Reader is gender neutral!
WC: 861
In which the reader and Kuboyasu are secretly together, but a certain nosy trio discovers the truth.
—————————————————–
“Have you guys noticed Y/N and Kuboyasu spending a lot of time together recently?” It was surprisingly Nendou who pointed this out, taking note of the fact their purple-haired friend was yet again not joining them for ramen. More often than not, he’d meet up with you after class and it wasn’t uncommon for his friend group to find the two of you walking home together.
Kuboyasu was not one to often make excuses. When it came to you, however, he made plenty. It wasn’t like they were good excuses, often they were half-baked and seemingly thought up at the last minute. His closest friends naturally found this very odd. It was out of character for him and they were determined to find out what was going on. 
“Maybe they’re dating,” Kaidou suggested, laughing afterward. “No, Aren would tell us if that were the case… right?”
Saiki rolled his eyes, letting out a sigh. Of course, he knew that simply couldn’t be the case. Sure, some of your thoughts about each other were a bit strange, but he’d know if you guys were dating. Saiki stopped his own thoughts - why does he even care? It’s none of his business anyway. Nevertheless, the idea of you and Kuboyasu dating stuck out in his mind. He wanted to find out now too.
It was a logical conclusion, really. With the way both of you acted, it seemed just like a secret relationship. But your thoughts just did not line up. It was clear you thought highly of each other, but if anything it seemed like you were best friends rather than a couple.
“Let’s trail them,” Saiki said, deciding he was going to get to the bottom of this. It was weird they never saw much of Kuboyasu anymore nowadays.
“Great idea, buddy!” Nendou said.
“Yeah, Saiki, let’s do it!”
Now that the group was in agreement, they planned how they’d go about this. It wouldn’t be hard. Not that Nendou or Kaidou knew, but Saiki would make sure they weren’t caught. It would all go fine as long as none of them did anything rash or stupid. The only worrying part was Kuboyasu seemed to have a sixth sense for when he was being followed, the three of them would have to be cautious of that.
School ended nowhere near soon enough the next day. Kuboyasu ate lunch with Kaidou, Nendou, and Saiki as per usual and you were nowhere in sight. He didn’t mention you once and none of his thoughts struck Saiki as strange. 
Though it seemed as soon as the last school bell rang, Kuboyasu was darting to the shoe lockers. Kaidou made eye contact with Saiki and Nendou, all three of them confirming that it was time to put their plan into action.
Luckily enough, they caught a glimpse of you guys leaving the school. They had almost missed you leaving because of course, they had to run into Teruhashi on the way to change their shoes. 
They trailed behind you quietly, making sure they weren’t seen by either you or Kuboyasu. Unfortunately, they were too far away to hear any conversation, but they could see you talking to each other. What surprised them all, was once you were far enough away from the school, Kuboyasu reached out to hold your hand, walking with you as close to him as he could comfortably manage. 
That was it. All the proof they needed to confirm their suspicions. 
“I knew it,” Kaidou muttered under his breath, “They’re totally dating, you know.” He said, this time a little louder so Saiki and Nendou could hear. They all looked at one another and did a small nod in agreement.
It was then, however, that Kuboyasu suddenly turned around to look behind him. “Shun?” He asked as confusion took over his face.
He turned to you, “Sorry, Y/N, I thought I heard Shun’s voice.”
“No worries,” you happily replied back, “Honestly I thought I heard him too.”
Kaidou let out a sigh, having heard what they said, “That was close, at least they didn’t hear us.”
“Idiot.” 
Kuboyasu turned around once again, certain that he had in fact heard his best friend's voice. 
“Keep your voice down.” But Saiki’s efforts were all in vain, as they were soon spotted anyway. Kuboyasu’s face flushed a light shade of pink upon realizing his friends had seen the two of you together.
Kaidou knew that now was their best chance to find out the truth. Kuboyasu couldn’t dodge the question if you were standing right next to him. 
“Aren,” he started, “Are you and Y/N together?”
“Y-yeah,” Kuboyasu replied. His hand came up behind his neck, rubbing it due to his nerves. He immediately turned towards you, seeking comfort in your presence.
Kaidou’s eyes shot open as he let out a gasp. “I was right! Why didn’t you tell us? How long?”
“We just weren’t ready to say, and maybe a month?”
“Just less than a month.” You confirmed, smiling up at your boyfriend. Kaidou smiled once again, happy for the two of you as he pestered you both with seemingly endless questions.

CHEATER • SAIKI K.
Tumblr media
requests: OPEN
warnings: none!
word count: 771
a/n: i couldn’t resist, i love saiki sm y’all don’t understand. also there’s a serious drought of saiki k fics on tumblr, lets fix that
Tumblr media
“regular italics” (w/ quotations) = saiki talking
bolded italics = saiki thinking
regular italics (w/o quotations) = you thinking
Tumblr media
“Uno out”
Saiki smirked slightly in amusement as you gawked at him placing down his last card.
Huh? He won again?! How??
You looked down at all the uno cards that remained in your hands. This round only went on for five minutes, and somehow you had to pick up eight cards. “Kaidou and Nendo this is all your fault! What happened to our plan?” You whined, throwing your cards on the desk.
Kaidou started waving his hands frantically and started apologizing. “I’m sorry Y/n! I only had the plus four card!” He exclaimed. You narrowed your eyes at him, “Then why didn’t you just pick up?” You asked.
“I didn’t want to!”
“What’s your excuse Nendou?”
Nendou turned his attention to you, “Oh? I thought we were playing stacks, so I put down the plus four I had” He explained. Saiki raised his eyebrows in slight shock,
Nendou understanding and following the rules of a game? That’s a shock.
You tried to sputter out a response, “W-Well yeah but that means I had to pick up eight cards. And that wasn’t our plan” You huffed, crossing your arms. “No one likes a sore loser” Saiki quipped. You turned to the pink-haired boy, “Oh quiet Mr. I-Always-Win-No-Matter-What” You seethed.
Creative nickname.
You sighed loudly, “My plan was fool proof, how did I end up losing?” You asked rhetorically, laying your head on desk in shame. Saiki rolled his eyes, “So dramatic”. Kaido tried to reassure you that you would win next time and that you guys could try the plan another time. That quickly backfired as you told him that he and Nendou are the worst people to work with.
Well, she’s not wrong. But that’s not why your plan didn’t work. I’m a psychic so it’s only natural that I knew your plan ahead of time. Trying to make me pick up the most cards was kind of stupid. Not only did you not know what cards Nendou and Kaido had but I could just see what cards you all had with my x-ray vision. In all honesty, it was a dumb plan. And I thought you were smart Y/n.
You lifted your head and looked at Saiki, “How do you keep winning it’s not fair. You must be cheating, that’s the only logical explanation”.
Once again, she’s not wrong but I didn’t know Y/n had such a competitive side.
Saiki shrugged, “I guess I’m just lucky”. You perked up hearing his excuse. “Well if that’s the case, your luck has to run out at some point. Let’s play again!” You stated, shuffling the deck once again. Saiki just sighed,
Good grief. This is sad.
Tumblr media
“Uh buddy? Pal? You okay there?”
You swatted Nendou’s hand away as he poked your cheek. “Leave me alone Nendou. Let me wallow in my failures in peace” You sighed, looking out the window with a forlorn look.
What are you? An actress?
Kaidou slid close to the psychic, “Hey Saiki, why don’t you let her win next round? She’s really bummed out” He suggested, nudging Saiki.
Normally, I wouldn’t do something as stupid as throw a Uno game but you do look genuinely sad and your dramatic moping is giving me a headache. So why not?
Saiki tapped the desk to get your attention, “One more game?”. You glared at the teenage boy, “Oh, want to rub your victories in my face again? Well no! I refuse to play with a cheater” You pouted, turning away.
“Seriously, stop being so dramatic”
“…I guess one more game couldn’t hurt”
Ah, there’s the competitiveness.
Tumblr media
Your eyes widened as you placed down your last card, “I won! Shit– uno out!” You declared, pumping your fist in the air. Saiki smiled slightly as he watched you pride in the fact that you won. He was also amused by your current thoughts.
Holy shit, how the fuck did I win? It must be luck– wait no way, I’m the best at Uno. If anything Saiki’s luck finally ran out! Hahaha!
Saiki opened his eyes to see you standing in front of him. Although you could be dramatic.. 24/7. You were still more tolerable than all the other people that followed him around.
“Look Saiki, I know losing isn’t easy but it’s okay. Maybe you’ll be fortunate enough to beat me next time” You claimed, puffing your chest out. Saiki’s eyebrow twitched, “You reek of narcissism”. You laughed, “Aw don’t be like that Saiki-poo! No one likes a sore loser!” You reiterated.
This is what I get for being nice.

erratic heartbeats ~chapter 6: you gotta love them over-affectionate characters~
Legend: "English unless stated otherwise" --- 'Thoughts' --- "Telepathically speaking" --- [Authors' Note]
"what are you saying, mother...?" Azumi's eyes glistened with the tears she's been suppressing. "you had other intentions...?"
Akina sighed exasperatingly, raising a hand to rub her temple, trying to ease the growing headache. "... This wasn't the right time to tell you."
"Well, when were you planning to tell me?! Years later after I've mastered my psychic abilities?!"
"Yes." Aiken answered bluntly, looking straight at his daughter's eyes as it darts from his to his wife's. The look of betrayal was prominent on Azumi's face; with eyes the widest they have ever been since she was a child, and eyebrows furrowed in denial. She refused to comment on her father's brutally honest reply. Not like she could anyway; a lump had already formed in her throat, preventing her from speaking clearly without her voice cracking midsentence. As if a rope of thorns are wrapped around her neck, occasional sharp pains pricked her throat.
"There was no other options to choose from so quickly. We feared your powers would be too much too soon, so we went with the best decision we thought." Aiken explained, maintaining eye contact as Azumi takes unconscious small steps back until her calves bumped the sofa. At the unexpected impact, she almost lost balance and, fortunately, didn't fall on her butt on the couch. It would have been embarrassing to argue after just falling.
"This issue involves me! Why didn't you consult to me first?!" She was now yelling, the dam in her tear ducts breaking and sending rivers down her cheeks. "If you thought lying to save you the trouble of talking to me would be best, you were wrong!"
"But I suppose you're too busy with other things to care about—" Azumi cut her sentence short went she silently choked on her saliva. Usually, she'd be embarrassed, but she was too deep in emotion to be feeling only a specific one for a moderate amount of time.
"What does that supposed to imply?!" Akina joined her daughter in standing, seemingly understanding her words despite it being abruptly cut. "We're doing this for you! For when you've given up all your powers you've had your whole life to your child! When you turn into an ordinary person, atleast you'll live in comfort. In luxury!" Azumi was irritated at her mother's assumption of procreating. How dare she, she doesn't get to decide on that. Whether she decides on an offspring is up to Azumi.
"I don't need luxury if it means I have to be neglected by my own parents! Parents who could always spare time for their lonely daughter, who spent all her life trying to achieve all her parents' expectations hoping to be rewarded with praise and attention." Azumi tried not to sniffle too loud, not bothering to wipe her tears. "and receiving nothing after all those years." Azumi walked away, the first time she's done that to her parents, and she felt a new sense of freedom by doing so.
"Azumi—!" Aiken was already by his wife's side, shutting her up.
"It's fine. Let her be alone for the remainder of the evening. We'll discuss about this again some other time..." He looked at his wife in the eyes as he held her in place, knowing she'll follow their daughter to her room demanding an explanation for her deplorable behavior. "We're also at fault here, Akina."
——————————
The next day, Azumi woke up all puffy and blotchy after crying so hard last night. She intended to wake up just after Aiken and Akina left for work, so she could prevent running into them in breakfast and in departing. Not like they ever encounter everyday in the morning, anyway.
.
.
.
Azumi arrived at school early, so she decided to take a detour from her usual walk straight to her classroom. She headed to the side of the school, where very few people would choose to walk through, and sat down on the concrete bench surrounding one of the trees. It was a windy morning, mild gusts of air blowing from the east, providing Azumi with the coolness she needs to feel as comfortable as possible. She was content on simply watching the leaves sway and fall from the wind until the morning bell chimes, but she was interrupted.
"Huh? Little buddy?"
Azumi turned to see Nendou approaching her. 'I didn't pin Nendou to be one of the early birds.' She gave a small wave, before redirecting her attention to the sky. 'But maybe it's just for today that he arrived here early, I do remember him mentioning about some early morning try-outs.'
"What are you doing here? Let's go to our classroom!" He beamed, before shifting his expressions to a more playful one. "Or did you forget where to go? Don't worry, little buddy, I'll show you the way!"
Azumi smiled at this. "No, I didn't forget. I just thought of clearing my head before school starts." She watched as he walked closer to her to listen more clearly to what she was saying, before another gust of wind blew the trees and drew her attention back to them.
Nendou decided to sit down next to her, planting each of his palms on the concrete beside his thighs and leaning back, using his arms for support. "Eh? Clear your head? Where will your brain go then?"
She lightly laughed, sparing her friend a glance. "It's not that type of clearing. I just want to forget about what happened to me last night."
"Huh, something happened to you last night?"
"Say, Nendou, how is your relationship with your parents?" Azumi realized her confession, and attempted to change the subject before her companion pries too much.
"I only have my mom. My dad died before I was born..."
"I–I'm sorry to have brought it up." Azumi felt bad for being so insensitive, she intertwined her fingers together and broke eye contact with Nendou. "How is your relationship with your mom, then?"
"Oh, we're doing fine!" His drastic change in expressions is questionable. "She got a new job at this company that she says pays more. I'm really happy about that, because my mom says she can buy me new shoes now! Though, last night she made me clean my room because I came home late and made her worry... Oh yeah! What happend to you last night? You hadn't told me that yet"
'To think that he came back to the topic after my distraction.'
"A–Ah, that..." Azumi hesitated, 'I guess telling him would be fine. I mean, he's not one to judge the lives of his friends, right? I'll just leave out the whole psychic powers thing.' She sighed.
"... I had a fight with my parents..."
•°●•°●•°●
"I feel like a kid who got beat up by a delinquent on their first day at a new school."
Azumi wanted to talk to Saiki about what she found out from her parents last night. She wished to tell him, most likely out of spite from being lied to, but also because it involves him as well. Just after she rounded a corner, she was surprised to see an unfamiliar student walking next to Saiki as she was heading to her classroom. She raised a hand to fiddle with her ear cuff, curious to know what his relationship was with the new student.
"I don't get why you want to hide it. Psychic powers would get you all sorts of attention." The new student was being too loud with his words in their sort of environment.
Azumi raised her eyebrows at the thoughts incoming behind her and hid in an empty classroom. She felt Teruhashi about to walk by and pass the two boys walking ahead of her.
"That's what I don't want."
A few seconds and a gasp later... 'Looks like the new transfer student fell for me, too.' Kokomi cheered in her head as she leaves the hallway, bringing Azumi out of her hiding spot. She furrowed her brows at what Teruhashi had done, confused on why she would actively search through the school looking for the transfer student only to receive a mere gasp for her efforts. She can always wait for him to hear about her and watch as he finds her. Atleast in that way, she can just sit pretty.
"Wh–Who is that beautiful girl?!"
"That's Teruhashi-san. She passed by us on purpose. You should be thankful."
Toritsuka Reita reacted loudly, shaking the shoulders of Saiki, before quickly being flocked by girls. All of which are curious about the news that spread about his psychic abilities.
"Saiki-san..." Toritsuka began, seemingly shocked by the crowd, but easily recovering. He smiled and gave a thumbs up in Saiki's direction. "Maybe I can settle for this."
'It'll die down, soon enough' Azumi thought, taking the chance to stand beside Saiki as if she had just arrived. She kept her hands in her pockets as the two psychics witness Toritsuka do his job in impressing the girls before him. "Who is he?" Azumi feigned ignorance of the situation, turning her head to look at the friend beside her.
Saiki shortly glanced at her in masked skepticism, before looking back at the gathering people around the spirit medium. "Toritsuka Reita." Azumi nodded in response, turning as well to watch the commotion in front of her.
Takahashi and his friends insisted Toritsuka tell their spirit guardians after initially being ignored, which inconvenienced the spirit medium in his quest to woo every girl that are around him. "Okay, let's see..." Toritsuka deadpanned, sparing them only a quick look. "Geezer, hag, hag, and hag. Okay, it's done."
Azumi got overwhelmed by the growing number of people gathered in the hallway, she sought solitude. In her attempt to walk away, she drew the attention of Toritsuka. "W–Wait—! You there, don't you want to know your guardian spirit?!" He gaped as she ignored him and left to go to her classroom. Toritsuka turned to the psychic he knows. "Saiki-san, do you know her?!"
"Ah, that was Kanasawa-san. She was new here on the first day."
"She's got a crazy powerful guardian spirit. Maybe even a psychic...?" He whispered to Saiki, to which his words piqued his interest.
He was about to repsond, when Kaidou came and interjected. "Guardian spirits? What nonsense." He acted uninterested, despite his thoughts telling otherwise. "Still, I'd suppose it would be rude not to hear you out. So tell me what my guardian spirit, or whatever, is."
Toritsuka was about to deadpan at him as well, but his guardian spirit was too interesting to not comment on. "Huh? Your guardian spirit is quite abnormal."
'Seriously?! 'Quite abnormal'?! Is it a demon?! A sealed monster?! A dark spirit?!'  "I-I see. So what is it? Tell me." Kaidou had an obvious blush on his face, but despite his excitement, he lowered his voice to maintain his appearance of uninterest.
"It's a chihuahua."
"Ch-Chihuahua?!" Kaidou exclaimed as the students around started laughing. Looking down on his clenched fist, he started mumbling to himself. "How dare he?! I bet he's a fraud!"
Toritsuka faced Saiki. "Introduce me to her so I can tell her about her guardian spirit." His favor sounded friendly, but adding in his expressions and his true thoughts, it became too friendly and borderline perversion. 'Cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute. She looked so cute...' Not like he wasn't a pervert, anyway.
"What was that about, Kanasawa-sensei? Are you feeling alright?"
"Quit repeating 'cute' in your head...!"  Saiki directed his thoughts to only the spirit medium, irritated at his noisy mind.
——————————
Aiken looked up from his desk, seeing the faces of two of his co-workers. "Hmm? What do you mean, Kinji-san?" He addressed the hospital resident who was with him in the OR, lowering the pen he was holding.
"In the surgery a while ago..." Kinji started.
"Why, what about it? Did I cut something wrong in any way?" Aiken knit his eyebrows, worry bubbling within him.
"No, it's not that. You did everything perfectly."
"So what's the problem here?"
"The problem is, you did everything. It was as if there was no one there to assist you in the surgery." The other doctor, Taiji, replied. He was there to confront Aiken after having been approached by Kinji. 'I appointed a number of residents under Kanasawa-san, because he was the best of the best, but how can they learn from him if he doesn't give them a chance?'
"Yes, is there something bothering you? This normally isn't the case." Kinji held on the backrest of the chair on the other side of Kanasawa's desk, contemplating if he should sit down or not.
Aiken sighed, leaning back on his chair. "It's a family issue. I apologize. I promise it will be ameliorated by tomorrow."
.
.
.
"Kanasawa-sama, the new managers of the marketing department have arrived. We are waiting for you to teach them the ropes." A petite young woman entered Akina's office after notifying her presence with a knock.
Akina looked up from her documents, she had finished little in the span of the morning, and the executive secretary took notice of this. "Is that so?" She turned back to the papers on her desk, lifting her pen to scribble in her signature. "Call in one of the presidents to lead on the managers. Whoever you choose that best fit the role will be my substitute." She spoke after a moment of silence.
"Are you not feeling well, Kanasawa-sama?"
"Yes, and so I entrust the decision to you, May-san." Akina looked at the young psychic in the eyes, an aura of superiority radiating off of the CEO. "Good luck."
"Come on, Saiki-san..." Toritsuka pestered Kusuo after he followed him around the whole day, through lunch and even now as they were walking out of the campus.
"As you wish, Kanasawa-sama" She bowed before leaving the room. May heard the sigh coming from her supervisor right before she fully shut the door.
——————————
Toritsuka mistakenly thought Nendou was a ghost a while ago, having swung his bag at him, and were now on their way to his home at the temple to explain his reason for assault.
"Just tell me more about Kanasawa-san!" He whined like a child that was denied from eating candy. "The ghosts avoid me like the plague when I ask about her from them."
"They do?" The new information grabbed Saiki's attention, but he didn't turn to look at his companion. "Well, they should."
"Is she a psychic like you? Because I think her guardian spirit might be an ancestor of hers. They look alike..." Toritsuka gave up on his begging, knowing that Saiki will not let out information even if he cried all night. Toritsuka leaned his head back on his interlocked fingers, before his saliva was practically drooling from the corner of his mouth. "But if she is someone with psychic powers, then I should've come to her instead."
Saiki smacked the back of his head with his psychokinesis, glaring at him from the corners of his eyes. "Hey! Don't go changing your mind after annoying me last night."
"Ow—! That hurt you kno—" Toritsuka cut off his own sentence when something in him clicked, as if the slap urged the gears in his brain to work. "Kanasawa... Does Kanasawa-san live next to you?!" He held the shoulders of the psychic beside him.
Saiki frowned at his personal question and invasion of personal space. "Why would you want to know?"
"Last night, while I was walking to your house, I passed by this huge house that was beside yours. It had 'Kanasawa' written in the gate's plaque." Saiki raised an eyebrow, having already known the information, but Toritsuka continued. "It was strange, because there were no ghosts hanging around and in the lot. There are a lot of ghosts that prefer to hang out in mansions, so it came as a surprise when I saw absolute zero ghosts when I passed by."
Saiki hummed in response, before throwing off Reita's hands from his shoulders using his powers. He contemplated with the new information he received, continuing with his walk. 'Her family is a mystery, even with the help of ghosts. As I thought, there is no other way to figure them out without getting close to them.'
"We're here. Okay, could you touch me while using your psychometry?" Toritsuka said after they stopped infront of his house, making Saiki push the topic of the Kanasawa's some other time. "I think you'll know why I made the mistake I made a while ago."
As Saiki stared at him suspiciously, he held his shoulders and activated his psychometry. "This is..."
Kusuo trailed off as he saw a Nendou lookalike sleeping on the ground while leaning on the stairs "Let me introduce you. This is my guardian spirit" Toritsuka looked ashamed, and didn't even look at Saiki in the eyes when he talked.
"You really do have it tough"
•°●•°●•°●
Azumi dreaded to enter her house, standing in front of the double doors and contemplating whether to enter or to retreat to a nearby park. 'No, I shouldn't postpone this any longer. It is bound to happen, anyway.'  With gathered confidence, she pushed opened the door and walked in.
'They're either waiting in the main living room, my room, or the dining room.' Azumi hoped they were in the dining room, but the call she heard after being halfway in walking past the main living room, proved otherwise. 'Living room it is...'
She silently entered and sat in the exact spot she was the other night, feeling the gazes of Akina and Aiken as she does.
A heavy silence hanged in their air, each member of the family waiting for the other to speak up. Aiken chose to start. "It has come to our attention that you have been feeling neglected and ignored by your mother and I... and, we wish to amend the mistake we made and be given another chance to become proper parents to you." He spoke slowly, thinking over his words before it would be said, so as not to offend anyone. "I hope our talk today will enlighten all three of us of the hardships we each have encountered, and discuss a proper solution to help."
"There should be no raising of voices. We are here to talk and to listen." Aiken finished, looking at the expressions of his wife and daughter to see if they understand and agree or not. The two nodded, making Aiken nod as well.
The Kanasawa couple met gazes, and Aiken prompted his wife to talk. "I... have come to realize that I oftentimes cut you off... Zumi-chan. I didn't know it would have a greater effect on you than waiting for you to finish what you're saying. I'm sorry. This is more on a problem of self, so I don't wish for you to change because of what I've done."
Azumi stared at her mother, harboring mixed feelings on the apology she received. She looked down, thinking over of what to say. "An apology is the first step to redemption... and so, I accept your apology." She took notice of the wistful look on her father. 'Ah, I guess he has nothing to talk about, because we almost never talk—or do anything, really—alone.' Despite Azumi thinking her father had nothing to share, she was surprised to hear his voice.
"I apologize for not spending any of my time with you, Zumi-chan." He looked down, with his eyebrows low, he refused to look at his daughter. "I will make it up to you over time. We'll be bonding together atleast once a week, now."
Azumi furrowed her eyebrows at his words. "But your work..."
"I can always have a number of leaves a month. Since I'm a talented volunteer, they treasure me enough to let me manage my own schedule."
"And I can always reschedule." Akina added in. "You were right. No amount of money can ever replace the love from your parents." Akina genuinely smiled at Azumi, who slowly returned the smile. "I'm sorry it took so long for us to realize."
"it's okay, as long as you both won't forget." Azumi weakly said, afraid to hear her voice crack as a lump formed in her throat just as what happened last time.
"Ah, before I forget. About what you said of being well-rounded yesterday." Aiken raised his head.
"A–Ah, that. You can just put it off as me blabbering because of anger. I wasn't thinking straight last night."
"No, what you say matters." Azumi locked eyes with her mother. Her eyes widened by a fraction at the words she never expected to hear from Akina. "I cared too much about you being powerless, I pushed you to be perfect in every aspect. I hoped that even without psychic abilities, you can live your life whatever you wish, and pursue your dream job, as if you had them. I was obviously wrong."
"I'm sorry, as well, that I made you master various martial arts. I was simply concerned for when you encounter immoral people, and had no other way to protect yourself. By the time your powers awakened, you've already achieved all the highest honor of belts." It was Aiken's turn to lock eyes with his daughter. "I'm very proud of you."
"I pushed you to perfect every instrument, sport and hobby I give you. And I truly am sorry for everything I have put you through." Akina said after her husband finished. "I am very proud of you as well, Zumi."
Everything was going too fast and is overlapping with each other in Azumi's mind. She heard an apology and words of praise from both her mother and her father, so why isn't she satisfied? Was she too stuck up to genuinely accept their words? If so, she's feeling very horrible right now. Nevertheless, she forced a smile and wordlessly nodded. She didn't know what to think of right now, and ought to think it through the night.
"We'll be holding something similar to this every week, so we can improve our communication with each other." Aiken concluded, standing up from his seat, his family following suit. "Now, let's have dinner. I'm famished."
——————————
It was Saturday, and Azumi woke up pretty early; that is, if you can count 10:15 am as early. She had a sports lesson with Furushima Yumi, the volleyball captain she met during 'chapter iii.', and ought to prepare before their agreed time of 11:30 am.
She finished everything, from changing into her sports attire to packing water and towels in one of her bags, after almost an hour. 'Alright, 15 minutes is probably enough time for me to arrive at the school. But only if I run... Should I take the car?' While she was contemplating whilst headed for the stairs that lead down to the ground floor, she saw, from the corner of her eye, a frantic boy in front of her gate. 'Toritsuka-san?'
Azumi watched as he shouted at seemingly nothing, elaborating huge gestures as he does. 'What in the world is he going on about?'  She was curious to know what has gotten him so worked up. 'Kusuo-san's house is over there, anyway.' With her heightened hearing, without touching her power limiter, she listened in on what the spirit medium has been talking about with the air.
"Come on, it'll only take a few seconds to peek inside..." Toritsuka dragged on, slouching his back and hanging his arms, slowly getting tired of all the ruckus he's been creating. "What's so terrifying about that mansion, anyway...?"
He stayed silent for a moment, most likely listening to the ghost he's conversing's explanation. "Eh? Is that so?" He looked at the front door of Azumi's house, before sighing. "I guess I'll wait for Kanasawa-san to come out. Oh, I bet she'll be super cute today, too~!"
Azumi grimaced in disgust at his last words. 'Yeah, I should take the car.'

"Azumi-san—!" Furushima took notice of the approaching figure of Kanasawa, placing down her water bottle and excitedly jogging towards the girl. "You're here!" She beamed, eyes creasing in delight and arms open to hug.
Azumi slowed her walking at the gesture the volleyball captain was showing, hesitating on whether or not she was comfortable enough to accept the hug.
In the end, she awkwardly wrapped her arms around Furushima, choosing to be polite and accept the gesture of affection.
After the first few volleyball lessons that happened between the two, Azumi thought they were close enough to be called by each other's names. "ah-hah... Did I make you wait, Yumi-senpai?" She let out a short nervous laugh before stating her question.
Furushima released herself from the hug, but let her hands rest on Azumi's forearms, smile unfaltering. "Not at all. But I have missed you since our last meeting." Before the psychic could respond, the volleyball captain was already ushering her towards the court, a hand gently guiding her back. "I thought you were ready to play with a team, so I invited a few of my friends, if you don't mind."
"No, it's fine. It's a fundamental part of playing volleyball, after all."
As if Furushima's smile couldn't possibly get any bigger, it just did. "You look pretty as usual today, Azumi-san..." Once again, Kanasawa was unable to reply when one of Yumi's friends yelled their greeting once they saw them walking towards the court.
