There's a tug on Yuichi's sleeve and he puts down the vegetables he just got done washing before turning his head to look over his shoulder.
"Oh, kitten, is something wrong?" he murmurs, brow furrowing at the sight of his daughter's concerned gaze. Hana is visiting him in the Hidden City and he's aware that something has been bothering her – he hasn't asked about it yet, hoping that she'd open up about her worries in her own time.
Maybe she's ready now.
"Not really, I just…" Hana stops, chewing on her lip before letting go of Yuichi's yukata and stepping closer to hug him from behind instead. Yuichi decides to halt his dinner preparations for the time being and leans into the embrace.
"...are you happy?"
Yuichi startles. He didn't expect to be asked that.
"I am. Is that what you've been worried about?"
The calico squeezes him tighter for a moment, then sighs.
"Have I been that obvious?"
Yuichi chuckles and rubs the back of his head against Hana's ear. "Nope, it's just impossible to hide anything from me."
Hana laughs. “Sure. Just like you noticed right away when your favourite kimono went missing, among other things.”
“Just so you know, I pretended not to notice, young lady. As a parent, some things are worth sacrificing. Like one’s dignity.”
“Yeah right,” Hana giggles but then quiets down before speaking again.
“Dad… Does he make you happy?”
“Leonardo? Oh, sweetie,” Yuichi murmurs and turns in Hana's arms to hold her instead, tucking her head under his chin.
“The happiest,” he sighs, smiling. “I'm so lucky. All these years of being single… he was well worth the wait.”
“He better be,” Hana mutters, “if he breaks your heart, I'm breaking his face.”
“Not his face!” Yuichi laughs. “Haven't you seen how handsome he is?”
“Oh, I'm aware.”
Yuichi can feel her grin against his neck and he holds his kitten tighter. He knows she's joking… kind of. He’s under no illusions about the seriousness of her threat and while a breakup doesn't seem likely, he feels sorry for his boyfriend.
If they ever get into an argument or Yuichi shows even the tiniest signs of upset because of his relationship and Hana gets a whiff of it, he knows that Leonardo will be in for a world of hurt – and not only because of Hana; he’s certain that all of his daughters would have a bone to pick with the slider, then. He might be a ninja but so are the girls and Yuichi wouldn’t wish their ire upon anyone… especially not the man he’s fallen in love with.
However, he thinks he’s very lucky to have such a protective family.
Hana sighs but the exhale sounds less tense than before and she buries her face into his chest. “I'm happy for you,” come the muffled words against his collar, and Yuichi feels emotional almost to the point of tears.
I’m putting the rest under the more sign because there’s kinda? S2 spoilers in here? BUT ALSO NOT EXACTLY? IT’S A BIG CANON DIVERGENCE/AU BUT I WANNA BE SAFE.
I apologize for how messy and unorganized some of these doodles will get btw. Also for my handwriting. I had an ADHD induced fever dream one day and woke up to all of THIS mess.
ALSO SOME DISCLAIMERS PLEASE READ:
1. There is some blood below, nothing insanely graphic but jsyk.
2. There will be a doc attached to this post that goes VERY in depth about the story connected here. The images are included on that as well to make following along a bit easier. You don’t have to read it, but you will def get more context lol.
3. There is not a lot of Leosagi or Rise stuff in general here! There’s some mild things in the doc abt them, but most of this is about Yuichi/Miyamoto Usagi bc I love him, yet also love to traumatize him. Sorry king <3. AAAAND it’s a set up to something I have planned in the future that WILL be very leosagi/rise heavy.
4. Welcome to the insanity that is my brain. I apologize now.
Okay, I gotta post this b4 I overthink it too much.
OH! And here’s the doc that explains way too much: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T99uGllPu08Unbq344KZu29Fbk2NjNN8Jz9ckmpa_lM/edit
Audio is the start of damn Right by the awesome Audrey Nuna, and the program is Blender3D (Greasepencil 2D), characters are from Stan Sakai's Samurai Rabbit cartoon on Netflix. It's a fun show that's been inspiring me, so I took a theory I had last year about a background detail and made it into an amalgam fanfic idea in january-february this year. I started making cover art for the chapters this week.
been on a health break so I had a lot of fun with this short animation! Working on this and the fic have been fun reminders for me to enjoy making stuff :)
fancomic/fic/animatic coming… I don't know when! but I'm excited to be working on this! it's just smth I've been writing on the side for a while and it's been fun! I want to attempt it as a hybrid of the different mediums I enjoy using to tell stories, but who knows, maybe I'll just post little tid-bits and sketches of it as well :]
I had a friend who doesn't know the comic, the series or the character, read the outline I have and they really liked it, even said it made them curious about the comic and series now??? And honestly, that is one of the biggest compliments I've received on my fanfic, so i'm really proud of what I've written and drawn so far.
