It hasn’t been the same since. Sukuna acts like he’s fine with you when you’re around the others, but now his eyes don’t linger on you. He barely starts a conversation with you, shit, he talks to Kazuya more than he does with you. Kaede thought it was weird but you told her it was nothing. Just friends outgrowing each other due to hanging out too much in the past. They don’t seem exclusive yet either, so it’s safe to say that they’re still talking? You don’t know, but you’ve been trying to drown yourself in Kazuya as much as possible. You’ve been ditching Kaede’s group invites, saying that you and Kazuya were already busy, and when he’d try to join them, you would tell him to give them some space.
Another thing is, you’re completely dreading today. It just feels like it’s gonna be a bad day. You’re pushing the cart around the store with an empty mind while your mom adds things in. She’s on the phone with your dad, talking about work or whatever, so you’re just left alone to follow aimlessly.
“Did you want this, sweetheart?”
She’s holding a pack of Himemaru rice crackers in the air to get your attention. You barely look at them, “sure.”
Just like that, she drops them in the cart and continues her conversation on the phone. Nothing in particular catches your attention since you don’t seem to have much of an appetite lately. You wouldn’t call it depression either, that’d be going overboard. You just miss how things were before.
Your mom taps your arm, “are you alright these days? You’re not grabbing all the snacks you usually eat.”
“I’m on a diet,” you lie, turning into the next aisle.
She stops you right there and crosses her arms, a worried look in her eyes. They search you for answers before she opens her mouth again, “you know, before I was afraid you were eating too much and now…”
Her nervous smile quivers, “you’re not eating and it’s a drastic change. These are also signs of pregnancy, sweetheart. You’ve been going out a lot and staying out during late hours, I’m afraid of what you’ve been doing.”
“Mom–”
“I’m not stupid. I was your age once too, you know. I know that you’re having fun, but I just wish for you to be safe. Your father hasn’t caught on, but I am concerned. How about after we shop, I take you to the clinic to get a checkup?”
“I haven’t done those things yet, so there’s nothing to be scared of. We’ll just waste our time going over there.”
The attitude in your tone takes your mom by surprise but she nods in defeat, “you sound like you’re telling the truth, then.”
You stick your tongue out at her to lighten the mood, “let’s just finish this up and go back home.”
♡ ♡ ♡
Your dad has been walking on eggshells around you as well over the last few months. He doesn’t speak to you any different, but maybe he too can pick up on your shift in mood. Is it really that drastic? Surely you’ve always been a grump, so what’s the big difference?
“I’ll take those,” he says as he takes the groceries from your hands.
You allow him to take them and follow him into the kitchen to help sort out the items. Your mom also comes in to help, leaving out what she’ll make for dinner.
“Will you be joining us?”
You look at your dad with a shrug, “I think I have plans with someone, so I’m not sure.”
He juts his lips but nods understandably, “you are going out with a female friend or male?”
“It’s a mix of both genders. We’re a group of people.”
“Shouldn’t you introduce us so that we know who you’re with?”
“It’s not necessary, so no.”
You give him stern eyes and head towards your bedroom. You’re annoyed by people constantly prying into your life. You don’t want them to meet Kazuya because they’ll misunderstand what he is to you, and you most certainly do not want them to meet someone like Sukuna. They’ll only judge, because that’s all they do. Especially your mom.
Since you’re bored, you decide to change out of what you’re currently wearing and put something else on. “I’ll be back later,” you shout as you close the door behind you.
Your feet guide you through the area you first saw Sukuna. He’s not there anymore, obviously. The spot is now taken over by a guitarist, playing his heart out to make some extra cash. The tune sounds nice to your ears, but it does strike a couple of heartstrings. A grin appears on your lips as you dig into your wallet, grabbing a single twenty. You diligently place the bill in his guitar case and back up into the rest of the crowd again to listen.
The man sends you a gracious smile and tips his head at you, “thank you~”
Your hands come out in front of you and wave, “don’t mention it.”
The man leans towards a smaller build, with soft fluffy hair and delicate looking hands. He’s pretty, but you can tell he’s fairly young, possibly mid-teens. He’s completely different from Sukuna– why are you even comparing the two? You snap out of your own thoughts and turn around to leave the crowd. Probably wasn’t a wise choice to revisit such a nostalgic area.
You shove your airpods in and blast music to drown out the real world while you walk to the next destination. It doesn’t take you too long, but you push through the doors and approach the hostess, “hi, I’m sorry, do you know if Mastuyama Kazuya is working today?”
She beams brightly and bows a bit, “oh yes, his shift should be over in a few hours. Let me get him for you, he’s in the back.”
“Thank you.”
“I didn’t know you were coming,” he greets, coming out from the back.
“Just thought I’d visit you for a bit,” you reason, “sorry, is it rush hour for you?”
Kazuya titters softly, “you’re fine, the kitchen can handle it.”
You push your hair behind your ear as you speak, “I’ll just be a second. I know you’re busy, so are we still going to the movies later tonight?”
“About that…” he trails off.
He wipes the sweat from his forehead with his forearms and pouts a bit, “I must be famous today. Sukuna and Kaede came to visit not too long ago.”
“Did they?”
You’re not sure as to why he’d bring them up, but you listen anyway.
Kazuya gestures towards a table, “yeah, they finished their meal like half an hour ago.”
“What do they have to do with our plans later?”
“Matsuyama, we need you back on the stove,” an employee says as he pokes his head out.
Kazuya nods hurriedly at him, “I’ll be right there.” He gently pinches your cheek, “they invited us to the club tonight and I kind of agreed without thinking. Don’t be too mad, okay? I gotta go, so I’ll see you tonight. See ya!”
“But–”
A fat sigh blows past your lips at the sight of him rushing back into the kitchen. Damn, you knew today felt shitty for a reason. Clubbing? With Sukuna? In a place where alcohol is involved? Not that you have to drink, but the environment is giving you flashbacks of that night, and it’s not bright. You will admit, there are times when you have dreams of that night and it drives you crazy! It’s that guilty conscience of yours…
Maybe you can find a way out of this, right?
♡ ♡ ♡
Kaede keeps blowing up your phone about tonight’s plan. She wants to know what you’ll wear, how you’ll do your hair etc. You’re not answering her much, just giving her short responses. Do you sound like a bitch? Probably. Do you care? Not really. Everything in your closet seems too bland and stupid but you managed to figure something out. It wasn’t anything too flashy, since you still have to see your parents, but enough to get you into the club.
You’re outside the gate, waiting for Sukuna’s car. He decided it’d be cheaper and safest to just use his chauffeur and who are you to argue against that? There’s a mix of emotions that you’re feeling as you wait, but the most defined one is anger and irritation. You don’t want to see Sukuna and Kaede flirt, mainly because you’ve been getting those flashbacks. Shit, you can barely look them in the eyes.
Right as you’re thinking this, you see the familiar black car pull up. It stops right in front of you and the passenger window rolls down.
“Get in,” he spits out coldly.
You barely catch it. That’s how low it is. Loud enough just for you to hear. He’s not even looking at you, he’s just staring straight ahead, and you want to smack that big ol’ head of his. You want to shove your hand through the window and fuck up his stupid, gelled back hair. Does he realize how stupid he looks? Okay, he doesn’t look stupid at all, you’re just being petty, but that’s okay!
You groan and open the back door to see both Kazuya and Kaede. They smile at you and shower you in compliments, ones that go in your ear and out the other. You’re only focusing on the back of his stupid pink hair. He got his roots retouched, how conceited. Ugh, and his cologne is too overwhelming. It makes your stomach churn.
“You doing okay?”
Kazuya’s eyebrows are pointed upwards in a worried way as he examines your sour face. Upon realization, you fix your face and hum, “peachy.”
You look at what Kaede is wearing and you instantly feel insecure. The feelings you feel, it’s the same as when you introduced Kaede to Sukuna. Why do you keep feeling this way? It’s annoying. Her hair is loosely curled, her makeup is done smokey, complimenting the dress she has on and her heels are sexy and strappy. Her charisma is even crazier tonight.
“You look sexy,” you compliment, sending a wink her way, regardless of the bad feelings inside.
Kaede giggles and shies away, “stop~ you’re teasing me.”
Your focus then turns towards Kazuya and your fingers land on the sleeves of his shirt, “you look great too, Kazuya.”
No one sees the red hues that glare through the rearview mirror, you’re all much too focused on your own little conversations, blabbing about this and that. Sukuna’s jaw tightens at the sight of you and he ignores the way your laugh sends shivers down his spine. You’re a fucking ungrateful bitch, that’s what you are.
Thankfully the ride isn’t too long. You’re all dropped off in the middle of the street and left to wait in line for the club. Kazuya is walking in front with Sukuna while Kaede holds your arms for support. It wasn’t too wise of you guys to pregame in the car, but it already happened, so.
“Where are you going?”
You call out with a glare and Sukuna barely looks back at you, “to the front.”
Kazuya spits out short apologies to the people you’re all cutting and taps Sukuna, “shouldn’t we be waiting in the back?”
“I work here,” Sukuna says, smiling his best.
Oh, that’s right. Sukuna works as a bartender at a club. This must be the place. Why didn’t it click in your head sooner?
Kaede’s grip on your arm is so tight that you feel like your arm will snap off. You’re about to say something to her, but Sukuna reaches out for her and takes her from you, “come here.”
He greets the bouncer and whispers something in their ear. They don’t even hesitate to let you all through, and as crazy as it is, you smile at Kazuya with excitement and raise your eyebrows, “I guess we don’t gotta pay.”
“Does that mean we get free drinks too?” Kazuya jokes, pulling you closer to him as the music begins to blare louder.
Sukuna chuckles, “that, you gotta pay for.”
You promised yourself not to drink too much, in fear you might slip up. Kaede and Sukuna, however, have been taking shots left and right. Their tab must be huge. Kazuya is the only one completely sober, but he’s having fun regardless, dancing with no shame. He’s fun to be with, at a time like this. You’re trying too, you are.
In order to distract yourself, you continue to dance with Kazuya, but not in a sensual way. Just goofy moves and whatnot. You’re not too sure how long it’s been, but maybe you guys have been here for two hours already. You’ve lost the other two in the crowd, so it helps to keep you distracted.
There’s just one thing… luck is never on your fucking side!
Kazuya reaches into his back pocket and leans towards your ear, shouting, “I gotta take this!”
You follow him towards the bathroom area and wait for him there to avoid separation. You pray that it’s a useless phone call, but something in your gut tells you otherwise. Approximately six minutes pass and Kazuya comes back out with a sorry smile.
There’s dread in your eyes.
“No, what’s wrong?”
He thins out his lips and gives you a soft caress before leaning towards your ear to shout, “sorry, y/n, but I just got a call from work. Someone had to go home suddenly and no one else could cover their shift.”
“But it’s almost eleven–”
His eyes shut, “I know, I know, but our restaurant stays open until 1am and they don’t have another chef. I’m sorry, y/n.”
You bite your tongue and huff, “it can’t be helped.”
Kazuya frowns too, since he feels sorry for having to suddenly abandon you, “I can help you search for the others before I leave–”
“Just go,” you blurt, your chest swelling with the action.
When you see the hurt in his face, you apologize, “sorry, it’s not your fault. It’d be better if you arrived over there quickly. I’ll look for them myself.”
You’re both shouting over the music, but you can hear each other clearly. He looks around the club once more before pulling you into a hug, “I’ll see you later, y/n.”
“Yeah,” you mutter against his chest.
♡ ♡ ♡
So, you might’ve had a few more shots. Just three more. Your vision isn’t fucked up, but your anger has subsided. Oh, you’re also dancing way more, now that you’re here by yourself, but it’s still fun. You get a couple of guys and girls here and there, but they know the drill, they don’t stay too long. In all honesty, you’ve kind of forgotten all about the other two people you came with.
That was, until… You’re shouting over the music with a random group of people you’ve found. It’s a mix of both women and men, mainly consisting of women. They know how to party, how to have fun. You watched them take body shots off of each other and when they offered you, you quickly denied, “it’s okay, I can’t get too drunk!”
“Awh, maybe next time then,” one of the men suggests, giving you a cute pout.
Though he suggests it, neither of you bother to exchange socials; his words nothing but empty. You sway to the loud music and look around, your eyes scanning over hundreds of faces but… you see him. You see him anywhere. You see him in the midst of the crowd, no one but him. It’s not because of his bright pink hair, it’s not because of his tattoos. You see him because he is Ryomen Sukuna.
All of your movements still instantly as you watch what’s in front of you. He’s stuck in the middle of a crowd with rowdy people, but in his arms is a very drunk Kaede. Her eyes are closed as she grinds her hips against his, her arms lifted and wrapped around his neck as a way to help support herself, even though he’s got both palms planted on her hips. Their faces are so close that it’s almost like they’ll kiss, and it sparks a fire in your chest. You feel it all at once while your head spins at the sight. Your chest stings, your heart falls, your face feels heated, and your heart is pounding so hard against you that it hurts. There’s a stupid, fat lump in your throat as you continue to watch them dance with each other.
His expensive silk shirt is unbuttoned, like always, and you see the way Kaede’s nose dips closer to his bare skin. Will she lick him? Sniff him? They’re dancing so sensually. Are they both drunk? Is he taking advantage of her? Are they together? Have they done more than this? A million questions race through your head as you stomp through the crowd, not caring that you rudely bump into people.
With hate filled eyes, you march over and shove a random girl out of your way. You’re so focused on your own heightened emotions that you don’t care if you get into a fight. She glares at you, “what the fuck is your problem?!”
You ignore her and continue to push through. Without thinking, you grab Sukuna’s wrist and yank him away from Kaede, making them both stumble.
“What the fuck are you two doing?! Are you fucking out of your minds?!”
The poor girl is much too intoxicated to understand the situation, only reaching out to grab Sukuna’s hand while her head leans on his back for support. He looks down at you coldly, “what?”
Fuck, you’re too stunned to speak now. Where did all that anger go? It seems to have disappeared the moment he laid eyes on you. His eyes pierce through you so harshly. His nostrils flare as his patience runs out and he steps back to grab Kaede by her waist. He then proceeds to use his other hand to grab at your forearm harshly, choosing to drag you guys to the bar. He quickly waves over one of the bartenders, “this girl is with me. Make sure to have someone watch over her in the back room.”
“Don’t take too long, can’t guarantee that boss will let her stay.”
Sukuna sighs in annoyance, “tell him she’s with me. He won’t care.”
He doesn’t wait for the other guy’s response and continues to drag you. You’re a bit scared with how shady the door looks, but he drags you out and you realize that you guys are in an alleyway. Sukuna’s chin rises, “what the fuck was that all about?”
You glare up at him as he continues, “I was hitting it off with Kaede. Why’d you do all of that?”
“I’m worried,” you stupidly admit.
You hate how weak you sound. You hate how unconfident you’re feeling from just his gaze.
Sukuna scoffs out loud at you, “worried about what? Isn’t this what you wanted?”
He steps closer to you, “for you to be with Kazuya without needing to worry about me? You set me up with Kaede and now you’re concerned?”
His face leans down, hovering over yours as a petty smirk draws itself on his lips. Your heart feels like it’s about to explode. You raise your chin pridefully, scoffing at his attitude, even though you had one first, “jeez, you must really like her. I didn’t think you’d be that upset about it.”
“Well, I am,” he quickly replies. There’s spite laced in his voice.
You blink a few times at his confirmation, and it seems to calm your sudden burst of anger. What used to be irritation morphs into something of shame and you lower your face a bit, “sorry for acting out then. Go back to her.”
You want to leave. You want to go home and cry. You want to be anywhere but here. You’re already turning around to walk away from him but he calls out angrily, “we’re not done talking, y/n.”
You hate the way he says your name.
“I think we are,” You’re only a few steps away from him, “you can go back to being touchy with her.”
Sukuna groans to himself, his voice becoming more stern, “I said we weren’t done talking. Stay still and look me in the eyes.”
You turn around to face him, “it’s fine, it was a spur of the moment.”
You motion towards the heavy door, “let’s just go back, she’s probably worried about you.”
With heavy footsteps, you try to get past him. Sukuna has other plans. He stops you and steps in front of you again, “y/n, I’m serious. Tell me what that shit was about. You had no fucking right to do that, to her or me.”
“I–”
Why are you getting choked up? It fucking sucks. This shit fucking sucks! What the fuck are you even doing? Why were you so mad in the first place?
Sukuna’s expression mocks you, a sneer on his face, “what, you can’t talk now? All of a sudden, the words can’t come out of your throat?”
He brings his hand up to your face and his thumb grazes your bottom lip gently, “you seemed to do just fine earlier when you were telling us off.”
There’s a stinging sensation in the corner of your eyes. Ah shit, don’t tell me it’s tears. What are they? Angry tears? Sad? Hurt?
Sukuna chuckles deeply, his thumb still on your lip, “don’t tell me you’re gonna cry now.”
“You’re a fucking asshole,” you say as you swat his hand away from you.
You quickly spin around to walk, hoping that you get to the end of the alley quickly. Sukuna’s heavy feet only take two steps forward before stopping, “get back here, right now.”
When you don’t listen, he raises his voice, “Ichihara y/n, I’m not playing with you.”
The seriousness in his tone has you stilling. Your mind is yelling at you to keep going, so why did you stop? Again, you turn around to face him, “I don’t know, Sukuna. I don’t know why I did that.”
Sukuna’s long strides get him close to you again and there’s a heavy frown on his lips, “yes, you do. I know you do.”
He heaves a sigh, mostly for himself, and then stares into your eyes. For a brief second, there’s worry in them.
“Look, let’s just take a deep breath together, okay?” he suggests, raising a brow.
Without needing to countdown, you both inhale and exhale together. He hums expectantly, “now tell me what’s wrong.”
The reason why you were so angry? Well, you don’t want to believe it.
“Sukuna, I–” the tears fall past your eyes, cascading down your cheeks, “I’m really jealous.”
His eyes widened. They widened and then his gaze turned into something bitter, “why are you saying this to me?”
He backs away from you, “why are you telling me this? Why now?”
More tears fall as you struggle to swallow the lump in your throat, “I’m really jealous when you’re with Kaede, Sukuna.”
“Don’t say that shit to me,” he spits out, “what about Kazuya, hm? Weren’t you so sure you liked him? Why are you saying this all of a sudden?”
Your eyes turn cold as well, looking at him with hate, “I didn’t realize I liked you this much!”
Sukuna’s jaw clenches at your confession, his fists balling so tight that his knuckles turn white.
You continue with a shaky voice, “I wasn’t sure if what we had was platonic or not–” your voice breaks, “so I chose Kazuya because he was the safest option.”
He shakes his head at you, seething as he does so, “you had months to figure it out, y/n. Months.”
Your heart throbs.
“Okay, I get it! You’re mad and I feel stupid and embarrassed, so just go back to Kaede already.”
You turn around and begin to speed walk, not caring if you just ruined your entire relationship with Sukuna. He, however, has other plans, choosing to chase after you. He spins you around violently, “no, don’t try to pull this shit on me. You’re fucking manipulating me.”
“I’m not!”
You try to pry his hands off of you with your own but you’re too weak. He won’t budge no matter how much you try.
You weakly shove him away, only moving yourself with the action, “I told you why I made a scene and now you’re just upset! I’m embarrassed, and I would just like to go home.”
Sukuna’s phone makes a notification sound and he quickly pulls his phone out to look at the text. He releases you with a glare, “Kaede texted me, I’m going back.”
It takes everything in him to not hug you, to not comfort you and kiss you. He’s so angry with you. You’re hurt? Well so is he. His chest heaves heavily while he tries to calm his heart, “get home safe.”
“I don’t need to hear that from you,” you spit out, looking away from him.
Sukuna clicks his tongue, “and I didn’t need to hear that shit from you either but look what happened.”
He shoves his phone back into his pocket, “whether you choose to text me when you get home or not is on you, I don’t care.” He turns around, “see ya.”
♡ ♡ ♡
You don’t remember how you got home. All you know is that you turned your phone off after catching a cab. Gosh, you’re so stupid. All of this shit is your fault. If you weren’t so stupid, indecisive and moody then none of this would’ve happened. You were too embarrassed to show yourself in front of your parents, so you crawled through your window.
After lazily locking it, you plopped down onto the bed and curled up into a ball. All of these raw emotions make you feel ugly inside and it hurts a lot. You see flashes of the look in his eyes and yours close immediately, refusing to relive the moment.
You knew about your feelings. You knew this whole time; you just didn’t want to believe it. Now that you’ve told him, you feel much smaller in the world. Your heart feels like it’s been smashed to bits and pieces and don’t even get started on Kaede. How will you ever look her in the eyes again? No, what will you say to Kazuya? He’s not the one your heart yearns for, he’s far from it, no matter how much you try. He’s such a sweet man, but he’s not who you want.
After lying in bed for a few hours, you pushed yourself up and gathered fresh clothes. You heard your parents go to bed hours ago but you were too drained to move earlier. You strip and wait for the water to turn hot, getting in once you’re satisfied with the heat. The thing that sucks is the fact that you can’t focus on anything. All you see is the disgust and hatred in his eyes.
You feel dirty.
A soft whimper falls from your lips as you begin to scrub your body harshly, hoping to get rid of the feeling. No matter how much you scrub and scratch, you can’t get the dirty feeling off. If Kaede found out about your feelings, would she hate you too? This is exactly why you refused to believe in your feelings for Sukuna. She’s always shown her interest in him; she was never discreet. You let yourself sink and hug your knees while the water pelts you.
You’re the worst kind of friend. Who in the fucking world begs the man that their friend is interested in to take them to a party, proceeds to get drunk together and then fucking makes out, almost leading to sex? Only bad friends. The worst part is you begging him to keep quiet about it, because you knew it was wrong. How dare you continue to hang out with her and act as if nothing ever happened. But, you’re a coward. You can’t fess up. You don’t want to lose another friend. You let yourself cry for a few more minutes before sucking it up and ending your shower.
The bed feels colder than usual. You feel like the loneliest person in the world. It’s funny though, since you did this to yourself. You’ll continue to talk to Kaede until she eventually finds out, because you’re a coward like that. Yeah, that’s what you are.
♡ ♡ ♡
You wake up with a headache. It must be from all the stupid crying but you push yourself up and force yourself to get through the day. You still haven’t turned your phone on, as you’re afraid of what you’ll see. Your everyday morning routine is done with ease, even with a blank mind. When you roam into the dining area, your mom jumps up.
“I thought you weren’t home. We waited all night for you,” she says while adding breakfast to a plate that’s now meant for you.
“I came home quietly.”
You take the plate from her and place it at the table, moving to help her set up everything else. She squints her judgy eyes at you, “your eyes are red and puffy.”
“Oh, she might’ve just had fun last night.”
Your dad’s voice interferes and he pops into the room with a smile. He’s obviously trying to get her off of your back, but she continues to poke at you, “or she was crying. What happened?”
“I drank a lot.”
Your unfiltered comment has your parents at a loss for words and you laugh, “I’m being responsible so please stop treating me like I’m some child.”
The breakfast that your mom cooked might’ve been really tasty but you can’t seem to taste a single thing. It’s all bland to you, sadly. You feel their eyes on you. It’s annoying. With wavering patience, you place your utensils down and stand, “I’m done.”
Their whispered argument goes on deaf ears as you walk back into your room to get ready. You do your makeup as quickly as possible and then turn your phone on. There’s a message or two from Kaede and she’s apologizing for getting too drunk. Does she even know what happened last night? You don’t have the heart to respond, so you turn off your read notifications and leave her unanswered. Kazuya’s messages are just him apologizing for leaving early. You give him a short response but that’s all. Sukuna hasn’t messaged you at all, and that’s something you should probably get used to.
Anyways, you need to end things with Kazuya. You can’t continue to lead him on like this, and you should probably tell him the truth. It’s the least you can do for him. You asked to meet up with him after work and he agreed in an instance. Now all that’s left is the waiting game.
It’s not as easy to distract yourself when you’re panicking over what to say and how you’ll say it. He’s such a sweetheart that you might break and cry while telling him everything. He’d probably even question why you’re the one crying when it should be him… Oh god, you seriously need to pull yourself together before you make any situation worse.
For hours, you practiced what you would say to Kazuya so you wouldn’t stutter for words. You looked into a mirror and trained your facial expressions so that you’d be less tense in front of him. You even imagined the pained expression that he would hold when you broke the news to him, but you still felt horrible when doing so. Kazuya truly is a soft soul and a great friend. You’d hate to lose him, but you know he’ll be gone. You’ll be left alone for a long time too, since Kaede and Sukuna won’t stay by you after this either.
It’s already a little past 6pm and you’re on your way to meet Kazuya. He chose a small coffee shop since he wanted some caffeine. You stop in front of the door and take a deep breath, preparing yourself for the last time. Just like before, you force a smile and pull the door open, the little bell dinging above your head.
“Welcome in,” you hear the employee greet. You suck in a breath and lock eyes with Kazuya who waves you down. He looks different today, almost as if he knows something. Yes, he’s smiling, but it’s forlorn. You walk to him and sit down, nervously accepting the warm drink he offers you.
“I went ahead and ordered for you too,” he says while retracting his hand.
“Thanks.”
It’s a dry reply. Oh god, you feel terrible. Kazuya taps the table with the pads of his fingers, “listen, about last night, I’m so sorry.”
You shake your head, maybe a little too fast, “it’s fine, seriously. I–”
He cuts you off, “you wanted to talk to me, I know. So, what is it?”
“Uh…”
Shit! All those hours of practicing went to fucking waste! Why can’t you speak up? Are you just stupid and useless? Is that it? He deserves to know the truth, so why can’t you stop being a coward and speak up? You called him to talk, so talk.
Kazuya’s hand slides across the table and he gently holds your index finger. Only that finger. You appreciate how he still respects your space and boundaries, even after all those months of you basically leading him on. He rubs his finger over your smooth nail polish and he shoots you a kind smile, “you have pretty hands.”
“You always say that.”
A grin stretches as you recall the many times he’s complimented them. No matter what color or length, he’d always comment on it. The memories are bittersweet as well, and you’re a bit upset at yourself for even smiling at a time like this. Kazuya’s other hand brushes through his hair, revealing his forehead as he does so.
“It’s about time you smile at me, timid girl.”
Your face turns red, mainly from embarrassment, “I’m sorry, Kazuya.”
He lets go of your finger and grabs his cup, drinking the warm beverage. When he’s done, he looks back at you, “It’s alright, y/n. I think I know what this is about.”
“You do?”
Your voice is small. You hate it. How can Kazuya keep smiling at you?
“I’ve been trying for months, y/n. I’m not clueless.”
Your head falls, “I’m sorry.”
The fact that you don’t deny him only proves his theory. Kazuya didn’t know for sure, but now his questions and doubts are confirmed. He tries not to let it show and instead keeps smiling at you, “I told you that I noticed how you changed here and there over time, but I didn’t want to bother you about it in case you were also figuring yourself out.”
Kazuya becomes quiet for a short while but then continues, “I didn’t want to believe it at first, but after I saw Sukuna’s wallpaper, everything just kind of clicked. You’re not a good liar either, y/n, but I like that about you. It makes you kind of cute.”
You laugh again, because you don’t know what to say. All you know how to say is ‘sorry’ and you’re sure that Kazuya doesn’t want to keep hearing that from you.
Everything about him is calm, from the way he looks at you, to the way he speaks. He seems completely fine on the outside, but he’s screaming at himself internally. He wants to break down and cry because he does truly like you, but what good is it if the person you’re interested in just can’t find it within themselves to like you back. His right leg bounces quickly under the table, but you don’t know that.
Kazuya suddenly leans over the table to tap your hand, mainly to get your attention, “I really liked you and I hoped that we could work out, but I understand. Thank you for trying anyway, y/n.”
There’s a small, teeny tiny weight that lifts from your chest, “is this really okay with you, Kazuya?”
“Mmm… no hard feelings, promise.”
Poor guy… he’s flashing you such a pretty smile but you can see the tears welling in his eyes. You only have yourself to blame for this. If you were honest from the beginning then he wouldn’t have gotten hurt like this. You tilt your head up at Kazuya when he pulls on your finger.
“It’s always been him, huh?”
Does he seriously want an answer to that? It would only hurt him more… You see the expectant expression though, so you nod with shame, “I didn’t want it to be him, I swear. He just snuck his way in.”
Kazuya lets your finger go and slowly slides his hand back towards himself, “but does he like you?”
He already knows the answer. Even a blind man can see just how much you two pine for each other; he just wishes you were more honest with yourselves.
You clench the cup a bit tighter, “I’m sorry.”
His expression softens quickly, “for what?”
“I’m sorry for not seeing you in a romantic way, Kazuya.”
Oh my god. That’s the worst kind of thing to say. Please, shut the fuck up.
You’re expecting him to cry, but he bursts out laughing, a hand flying over his mouth to try and hide it. When you furrow your brows at him, he dips his head and takes a minute to collect himself.
“Don’t say things like that, you’ll make me feel small both emotionally and physically. Anyhow,” he snickers one last time to mask his sadness, “I’m rooting for you. I don’t know what’ll happen to you guys, since Kaede is also in the picture, but I’ll always be cheering you on. I hope you get your happy ending, timid girl.”
It’s odd. You hate Sukuna’s ‘halfie’ but you don’t seem to mind Kazuya’s ‘timid girl’. Is that weird?
Your lip quivers, “I’m sorry that I can’t love you in the same way.”
“Stop,” he teases, “you’ll make me cry. I’m trying to seem tough here.”
Kazuya stands from the table first and waits for you to get up. Like a gentleman, he assists you out of the cafe and holds the door for you.
“I guess we should stop our frequent meetups from here on out.”
He holds his arms open and you rush in to return his hug, holding him as tightly as you can. This is supposed to make you feel better, but you only feel like shit. Well, you are kind of shit, but there’s no need to continue berating yourself.
Ugh, fucking bitch. You’re crying. Kazuya’s soft chuckle vibrates against you while his hands rub your back soothingly, “this must’ve been a tough decision for you, y/n. I know it’s not easy, you did good.”
“I–” you get a bit choked up, but keep going, “I am truly sorry towards you, for not being able to feel the same way.”
Kazuya pulls his face back to look directly in your eyes, a tiny grin on his lips, “I told you that it was all okay. I understand completely, alright? Friends?”
Another fat tear rolls down your cheek, “yeah, friends.”
He rests his face against the side of your head before giving it a quick kiss, “talk it out with Sukuna, alright? He’s a cool guy.”
“He’s an ass, but I will.”
♡ ♡ ♡
Welp! That’s one problem gone. Now you’ve got another storm of problems to get over. How will you confront Sukuna and how will you tell Kaede without causing any more problems? She’s going to be upset, that’s unavoidable. The problem is how upset she’ll be. You’re not sure how far she and Sukuna have gone, but based on how they acted in the club, they might’ve gotten pretty far with each other. Afterall, Sukuna isn’t exactly an in-your-face type of guy, so if they are together then it’s on the downlow, and if that’s the case then it’s no wonder he got so upset with you. You curse under your breath at yourself. You should’ve just asked Kaede a month ago if she and Sukuna were exclusive. You remember the way he held her hips and how they grinded against each other. A shudder runs down your spine at the fact that they might be sleeping together already.
Shit. Whether you say something or not, you’re gonna lose. It’s a lose-lose situation for you regardless of what you do, and that fucking sucks!
“I’m fucking stupid,” you mutter to yourself.
When you’re back in reality, you recognize the area. Your stupid feet have led you to the train tracks you used to hang out at. All those memories of you arguing with Sukuna over little things come flying by and you laugh to yourself while the rocks crunch beneath you. You also remember throwing salt at him all the time. Oh yeah. You haven’t done that in a long while. You keep going, choosing to walk on the actual tracks instead but as you get further, your heart seems to pulse faster. Your intuition tells you to turn and run, far away, but your feet won’t listen.
And, shit. What are the odds that you’d run into him here, today? Well, that’s exactly what the fuck just happened! Why is he here? Why is he sitting on the tracks with his back turned to you? His intoxicating scent fills your nostrils and you switch to breathing through your mouth, refusing to allow him in. His hair isn’t styled today, it’s left soft and untouched, blowing gently with the light breeze. You stand still and hold your breath, trying not to make too much sound but it’s too late.
“You’re always late, Kaede. Next time I’m ditching–”
Sukuna’s words are cut short when he turns around and finds you instead. Why the fuck are you here? Who the hell invited you? He hates that you still look beautiful.
All you can do is stare at him. He looks so different from before; it’s the way his eyes no longer hold any warmth for you. You should’ve taken advantage of those eyes back then, but who would’ve known that you two would end up like this so quickly. It’s just barely 7pm and the orange sky behind him suits him so well. It complements the pigment of his skin and blends in prettily with his artificial pink hair. If you were a bigger fool, you’d think that you were in hell with the devil himself. His aura and glare are enough to burn through your skin and you’re foolish, because you can’t seem to run away.
“You should probably get outta here, Kaede will be here soon,” he spits out, turning away so that he can no longer see you.
“Sukuna, about–”
He cuts you off, “you should also stop coming here, to all the areas we’ve hung out before. It wouldn’t be good for either of us to keep on running into each other.”
So what the fuck does that mean? Is he confirming that he and Kaede are together? Are they cutting you off? You’re really sick and tired of crying, but you can’t stop.
You’re quiet, so he goes on, “I’ll still be around when Kaede wants to hang out with you, but don’t expect too much. I’ll talk to you here and there so it doesn’t come off as weird, but I won’t get in yours or Kazuya’s way.”
You’re not ready for either of this. You were not expecting to run into Sukuna so soon and you don’t know what to say to him. You haven’t had the time to try and sort this shit out, so for it to come flying at you like this all at once has you overwhelmed. Right now, you wish a train would just come and run you over, but that’s not happening. Not anytime soon, at least.
You’re too quiet. Sukuna lazily tilts his head towards you and clicks his tongue at what he sees.
“Seriously? You’re crying now?” He snickers dryly, “you’re really fucking crying right now?”
A short sob falls from your lips, “can I not cry when my feelings are hurt?”
“No, you don’t get to cry.”
He closes the distance between you, “and don’t even think about trying to cry about this later. I won’t fall for it.”
Your mouth falls agape and you think about how none of this would’ve been a problem if he had just left you alone the second time you guys talked. You try to blink away the rest of your tears, “I never asked for this. I didn’t ask for you to stay by my side and cling to me.”
Sukuna thinks it’s funny, so he laughs in a spiteful manner. Weren’t you the one who came to bother him? Asking about his name and shit? Talking about always seeing him linger on the fucking streets?
“Oh, so now you’re ungrateful too, bitch.”
You shove him away on instinct, “would you stop that?”
His tongue comes out to poke at the corner of his mouth while he chuckles, “stop what? My sarcasm?” he steps closer again, towering over you, “why? Does it hurt you?”
“Yeah, it fucking hurts me, Sukuna,” you quietly admit, a new stream of tears slipping past your eyes.
When you think about your argument last night, your heart aches and you don’t want to feel this way anymore. You just want to get it over with. When you think about how he’s waiting for Kaede right now, your heart falls to pieces.
“Seeing you with her hurts my feelings. I’m jealous, really jealous.”
Everything cunning about Sukuna drops and he backs away from you, pushing his hair back in frustration, “you don’t get to feel that way! Not now, not ever.” His chest heaves heavily as he speaks to you, “what gives you the right to, hm? That you realized you liked me too late?”
He comes to you again but you don’t move, you don’t wince at his aggression. His red hues bore into yours, “what’re you gonna do about Kazuya, huh? Tell me.”
Just tell him. That’s all you need to do. Tell him that you ended things with Kazuya. As easy as it sounds like to do so, you can’t. You just ended things with him and even that hurt. You can still see just how much he was holding back, how hard he was trying to not cry in front of you. You remember how when you both parted ways, you turned around and saw his arms raise towards his face. He broke down when he was sure you were already walking away from him, and it made you feel like the shittiest person alive because he didn’t deserve that. And even if you could tell Sukuna, you’re more worried now than ever about the fact that he and Kaede might be dating. Everything he’s doing, all of this anger, it’s possible that he’s angry with you because you’re too late and they’re already together.
Sukuna’s irises flick back and forth all over your face as he waits for you to speak up. Why aren’t you saying anything? Why can’t you ever say anything?
“Stop fucking crying, y/n,” he says in a softer tone, more so to help himself calm down.
“This is stupid,” you say weakly, “I’m being stupid.”
You quickly wipe your eyes and turn around to leave. That’s better anyway because Kaede could show up at any moment.
“Don’t walk away from me,” he chases after you with long strides, “we aren’t done talking about this.”
“Well, I am.”
“Well I’m not, so get your ass back here before I lift you over my shoulder and drag you away myself.”
You still haven’t turned around, “that’s kidnapping.”
He stands right behind you, “I don’t give a shit, y/n. I’ll do it, you know I will.”
He’s not bluffing. You hate that you know. You take a deep breath and turn back to face him.
“That’s what I thought.”
“You’re a fucking dick.”
“Says the one causing problems.”
“Says the one causing problems.”
“That’s what I thought.”
“You’re a fucking dick.”

what's something new you noticed on your rewatch of v3?
ah this is an interesting one!!! also a little difficult, since my memories on things like this tend to blend together quite quickly, so i’ve had to think a lot about how to answer (which is why this took so long, along with typing it all up, sorry for that!). i probably don’t have everything, but luckily i did take some screenshots while watching! so there’s some bits i definitely know that i noticed!!!
i was really focused on exactly how kokichi’s character develops because i did Know generally beforehand but i didn’t have a full clear progression in my head—and well it’s kokichi so there’s not really ever gonna be 100% full clear progression for him but i think i see it a lot more now!
like how he’s a lot more open to cooperation in chapter 1—he loudly supported going through the tunnel the first times, and was the one to suggest the daily dining hall meetings!
he’s much more open about his intentions in early chapters (there’ll be more examples of this later, but here’s one for ch1! himiko quickly brushes it off as a lie but it really doesn’t feel like one)
and he’s the one that’s the most insistent on monokuma being dead and the killing game being over. he REALLY doesn’t want anyone to get the idea of starting it up. and then there’s the shock when monokuma does show up (he quickly brushes it off with “at least it’s not boring” but you KNOW he’s screaming on the inside)
actually, i’m just noticing this now, he seems to have a strange amount of optimism towards the idea that everything will just work out in ch1—he doesn’t even investigate because he thinks everything will be completely solved through the pictures, and to do so would be pointless, which he later expresses regret for. it’s overshadowed for most people, i think, because of the tunnel scene and his later behavior, but honestly the fact that he even tried it without skepticism in the first place, along with his insistence about monokuma being dead and thinking that rantaro’s case will solve itself… wow he is showing Quite a bit of belief here without reason! hmmmmmm!!
i’d say he probably compensates for that for investigating even outside of cases in ch2, and being more skeptical of things. when everyone tries to ignore the killing game, kokichi brings it up (he’s tried to ignore it before. it didn’t work). kaede’s death also had him believe that cooperation would be punished—she was the one encouraging it, after all, and look at what happened to her—upping his paranoia, and the fact that he still believed there’s a mastermind didn’t help matters! now he has to be careful not only about working with anyone out of fear he’ll be punished in some way, but also about who he works with, destroying any good chances of working safely with the group as a whole!! yippee!!! that’s probably even more frustrating for him considering his talent is literally being a leader of a group
“Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not saying we shouldn’t care about killing or dying…
But I think it’d be better if we didn’t cooperate with each other…
Actually, we *definitely* shouldn’t cooperate with each other!”
[…]
“Think back to all of Monokuma’s actions so far.
Whenever we tried to work together, Monokuma would retaliate with a plan to make us suffer.
It happened when Kaede wanted us to cooperate, and again with these motive videos, right?
Which means, the more we try to cooperate, the more he’ll try to make us suffer.
That’s why I had no choice but to screw with you guys. But you ingrates didn’t even notice.”
THIS BIT GETS ME SO MUCH like Honestly he couldn’t be clearer with his intentions here. he denies an assumption he doesn’t care about death; he states his beliefs; he clearly outlines why he believes this with examples; even directly says Yes he screwed with them for a reason they just didn’t notice and tells them Why! (although he still has to insult everyone of course. he’s an ass who thinks he’s better than everyone else [affectionate]) but it goes ignored, and the reasoning is really interesting. shuichi’s thoughts are:
It’s *because* we’re trying to cooperate that Monokuma is making us suffer…?
But what about… everything we went through..?
What was the point of Kaede sacrificing herself…?
it’s been like 2 months since i was on ch2 so i don’t remember Exactly but i’m pretty sure nobody brings it up after this. it’s so interesting to me, i don’t have the brainpower to put my thoughts together more eloquently but i’m rotating it in my head. (i remember you bringing it up in the tags of the kaede/kokichi parallels post actually!!! mixed in with that bit about kokichi suggesting a family member of rantaro being the mastermind. i misremembered this the exact same way too until i went back to check i could’ve SWORN shuichi brought up the promise to kaede then but he didn’t💔iirc he actually considers the possibility? which was interesting but then it was never brought up again. Anyway back to the post)
rantaro also says something similar to kaede in ch1:
”You have what it takes to win…”
”What…?”
“I was just thinking, what you said back there would have pissed off whoever’s running this.
They definitely don’t want us holding hands, workin’ together…
…They’re going to come for you, Kaede. With everything they’ve got.
I’m a little worried about you. You’re just so…straightforward.”
and kaede just goes “geez that guy could stand to be a little less cryptic!” IT’S A REALLY INTERESTING PARALLEL TO ME and the fact that both him and kokichi describe “winning” the game 2nd survivor kokichi real
oh and also something i’ve been thinking about! i think kokichi had the mastermind plan forming in his head relatively early, but he didn’t actually want to do it at all, and didn’t start going “okay, i have to do this now” until about ch4. it’s more of a plan B, “if nothing else works, at least i have this”. but the issue is that in order for that to work, he has to keep it in mind until he knows whether he has to use it or not, which puts another barrier between him and working together with everyone else. even if other plans would be better if he could gain everyone’s trust, he has to keep the option available, so he can only gain people’s trust indirectly. he’s more actively looking for other ways to do this earlier on though, particularly in ch2. he expresses distaste about how people treat him early on (this bit immediately reminded me of the 4th trial where he’s like “bullying? yeah, what about it? that’s what you do in this game, right? you guys blame and gang up on me, but now you pretend to be good people?” and i was like Woa!!! his frustration in that scene does not come out of nowhere!!!)
it’s also the reason he frames the motive video watch party the way he does. if he says outright he’s trying to prevent more murders, and people don’t watch the videos, a later mastermind plan wouldn’t work! BUT, if he can get everyone to watch them, then his motive video plan works and people would know he doesn’t mean harm because they would see his video, better convincing them than he could do so himself! best case scenario there are no murders and people will see he’s being serious when he says he’s trying to help them. of course, watch party ends up not happening in the end, and also he’s lost quite a bit of trust from his closest ally (which could have also been prevented had he not been so paranoid since gonta DID agree to get everyone to watch the motive videos), so he’s getting closer to that mastermind plan.
another thing in ch2 is kokichi losing much influence in the group. this isn’t just because of the insect meet & greet! from the beginning people are wary around him, but he’s actually able to steer conversations in his favor at times, and if you look closely you can see his leader talent popping up. when he speaks up against kaede, the majority agree with him; the majority agree with him when he insists that the killing game is cancelled; again, when new flashback lights are presented, he expresses concern and everyone agrees not to use them. except kaito. and shuichi, i guess, but he doesn’t even get to answer before kaito cuts him off. people question kaito, he gives a speech to convince everyone to try them, and though it doesn’t work on kokichi, it sure works on everyone else!
they’ve clashed before, but now kaito is the one making things sway his way. this happens in the trial, too. kaito says he believes in maki without any reasoning, kokichi calls him an idiot, and everyone starts to agree. but things end up going in kaito’s favor. almost everyone else thinks he’s an idiot, but then tenko and shuichi switch around to his “side” of wanting to believe in maki despite all seemingly logical reasoning. most people still don’t agree with kaito before maki admits to seeing ryoma, but those two do, and kokichi is so baffled by shuichi believing in this (i feel like this could be worded better but i can’t think of anything right now, hopefully you get the idea though!)
the mastermind plan grows ever closer with ch3 and more being added to the courtyard message. it’s still not something he’d like to do. i’m unsure of the exact timeline, but i believe ch3 is around the time he asks miu for the inventions (possibly even earlier for the bugvac)? he wouldn’t be able to do it with her around, and he wouldn’t want to kill her just to keep to the plan. he’s probably trying to find the best moment to present the stuff to everyone so they can fight monokuma, and waiting for miu to make enough of them so that they can, considering there’s only enough electrohammers for the remaining people by ch5. but the guy’s in a tough situation, because on one hand he wants people to trust him so they can work together but on the other he needs them to distrust him in case plan B becomes necessary. he needs to be careful so that monokuma doesn’t notice him cooperating, because he also wants to keep being his favorite (i love it when he goes “riiiiiiight, monokuma? aren’t i so evil and twisted haha don’t you love me i am so entertaining if i died it would make the viewers mad haha right” he’s trying so hard). he doesn’t know who the actual mastermind is. people are already rightfully distrustful of him. but he still wants them to know his actual intentions, if they’re willing to. it doesn’t seem like it’s too late yet. (he is so wonderfully contradictory and human, i love him. paranoid asshole who wants to be Known but the idea is also terrifying and dangerous and he ends up sabotaging any opportunity for that to happen) so, he presents a piece of information he hopes will make people trust him: maki’s talent.
ok, well, that sounds like a lot of guessing stuff that’s not really in the game. i suppose. but i do have a reason!!! these lines stood out to me as i was watching:
he doesn’t even follow up with “that might be a lie” or anything. he really does want to work together with everyone, it’s just that finding a good opportunity to show it safely is Difficult and people don’t believe him. and he is really set on the idea that trusting people too much is a bad thing. there’s a few reasons why he only chose to reveal her talent now instead of before, when apparently “given his position” he’s known since the beginning: kaito’s blind faith in maki prompting him to show that actually, she Isn’t trustworthy! the believing thing is stupid and false, see? hopefully getting more people on kokichi’s side rather than kaito’s side. he tries again later to get people on his side, accusing kaito of trying to turn everyone against each other by defending maki and dragging her places
everyone mostly ignores him though and moves onto the flashback lights. as this and the next chapter go on he continuously tries to provoke maki, probably to get her to snap and show people she really Is just a killer or something, although she doesn’t budge until later. this was probably me reading too much into it but all of that did really stand out to me
well all the Good Plans fall apart with ch4. they could’ve all worked together using miu’s inventions but then The Case happened kokichi has a chapter-long mental breakdown ough it makes me so sad to think about. i mean after all that there wasn’t much coming back from it, the mastermind plan was likely the best thing he had. the “everyone hates me so the role of villain is perfect for me” always made me sad but especially This time after looking for everything else. dude…negative character development…..so good but also making me cry! me when i have good intentions but my own distrust and paranoia becomes my downfall as i start to have no one to turn to. me when the same person’s death that led the main character to become more open and outgoing towards others led me to become closed off and solitary despite both our earlier attitudes!!
he also succeeds in provoking maki in the end. i don’t have any particular comment for this i just took the screenshot i can’t remember what my thoughts were on it
i don’t have any other screenshots to do with this so that’ll be the end of that i guess!!! not super eloquently worded i’m just kinda throwing ideas out there, i can elaborate on any points that might not have been super well-explained if you want !
oh and for more silly stuff:
i like this maki line, it’s after shuichi says “about the size of a girl”. there’s one later (in ch4, i think) where i don’t remember what the first part was but she says “not to sound like tenko, but you men can really be like that”. these are 2 very throwaway lines but they almost make me think she was supposed to be the new feminist after tenko’s death (just without the weird stereotyping and much less extreme). she should’ve been. especially given kaito’s casual misogyny at times this would’ve been cool! unfortunately we didn’t get that :(
oh and
shuichi is a yo-kai watch fan, kokichi is a pokémon fan. this is a source of conflict between them and it is unknown if they can overcome this
okay i made this WAY longer than i should’ve. i’m sure there may have been more things but they’re slipping my mind. hopefully this is sufficient!

Ishimaru Sibling Headcanons
Inspired by @incoherentramblings posts, I’ve decided to finally sort of properly post about my own Ishimaru family headcanons. I’m of the small majority of the fandom who headcanons Taka, Celeste, and Gundham to all be siblings.
Taka and Celeste are both trans! They quite literally just swapped uniforms (until Taka had to swap schools… twice…)
While Celeste was often out further engaging in her talent (and somehow always at someone’s get together), and Gundham was… somewhere, usually a shelter program with his grandmother or the local pet store, Taka was often with his grandfather being sculpted into a fit replacement. Nobody really knows what took place during that time, but it wasn’t until Taka was 11 that, after an incident, his family cut ties with his grandfather
Celeste hand makes all her clothes, as well as quite a few outfits for her siblings, and often patches her father’s trench coat.
Gundham is EXTREMELY protective of his little siblings. After word got out of them being siblings between their classes at Hopes Peak, he was much more vocal in his distaste towards Mondo, and only bites his tongue regarding Celeste’s admirers because she knows how to blackmail him.
Unlike the game Hifumi has good writing here because I liked his character up till the creepy Alter Ego thing… anywho, him and Celeste are genuinely friends! They bond a lot regarding specific manga and Lolita fashion! Celeste likes being a model for him for his art… plus it means she gets to play dress up no matter how extravagant the outfit.
While both twins have their own self destructive habits, Celeste having a tendency to bite her finger that the claw is on as well as straws and even some plastic items, Taka has more. He tugs on his hair, scratches his hands, and bites his lip.
Gundham notices this and tries to help as best he can. He’s gotten multiple stim jewelry for Celeste, and will try and occupy Taka’s hands when he gets distressed. Either with his own hands or his scarf.
Gundham was closest with their mother, and upon her passing, made a promise to her to keep the twins safe. He’s been caught a few times scolding Celeste for something mischievous or Taka for not taking care of himself
Taka is the best cook out of them all! He originally didn’t know many recipes but asked Teruteru to each him more about cooking… and while he doesn’t understand why Teruteru seems sort of frightened, he’s enjoyed the lessons he’s had.
Gundham is strong willed but the moment the twins tear up they give in. No hesitation.
Taka is a system! Ishida is part of that system, as well as a child alter known as Kiyo, and one other known one who Ishida is cautious of, only ever referred to as “Ishiru”.
While the siblings don’t associate much with one another before Hopes Peak, once there and the secret gets out, they’re much more open about it all… which secretly makes Taka happy as can be. Even if he knew that his siblings only used other names to avoid connections to the family, part of him always wondered if it was him.
Ishida doesn’t really get along with anyone in the family but Takaaki, as shown by him allowing him to call him Kiyondo (the only others allowed to do this being Taka, Kiyo, Sakura, Hina, Kaede, and Makoto.)
Celeste constantly pokes fun at Taka and Mondo’s relationship (calling Mondo whipped on a regular basis, Taka never quite understanding why), but Gundham can’t stand the two being together only due to seeing delinquents previously hurt Taka.
The kids are all very close with their father… but no one understands how such animated kids came from a man who has little to no emotion ever.
Celeste is trying to learn more and more about her father’s teenage years, as according to Hiroko and Jin, he was extremely rebellious.
Realistically, nobody in the family can resist Taka’s tears… and while it’s very rare… he will take it to his advantage when he really wants something. (Ex; hanging out with mondo late at night, having Chihiro over so she can help him with ‘computer studies’)
Taka was introduced to ARGs, unfiction, and Wham City Comedy by Chihiro. She suggested it to him when he made a passing comment that the series his friends showed him were nice but didn’t feel like they called for much beyond enjoyment… so she showed him This House and the two spent the entire weekend trying to break it down. Now he’s trying to get his siblings into some of them… they don’t seem too interested until he makes a small note about the Wyoming Incident which causes Celeste to question it, and finding herself just as invested as him.

here’s part two of my ch2 liveblog! motive video time :0
-there being actual interviews with the student’s loved ones is v cool and i’m forever mad it only happens in kaito’s video!!
-”y-yeah! why gonta get tsumugi’s video-” y’know, i really do wonder what was in that.
-”don’t get the wrong idea. i’m not saying we shouldn’t care about killing or dying...but i think it’d be better if we didn’t cooperate with each other...actually, we *definitely* shouldn’t cooperate with each other!” “we shouldn’t cooperate? why not!?” “think back to all of monokuma’s actions so far. whenever we tried to work together, monokuma would retaliate with a plan to make us suffer. it happened when kaede wanted us to cooperate, and again with these motive videos, right? which means, the more we try to cooperate, the more he’ll try to make us suffer.” god i really forgot how often early game kokichi just. Explains Things. he is shockingly honest in some of these scenes.
-even MORE interestingly, we get a little insight into why shuichi is kind of just...ignoring kokichi’s warnings: [it’s *because* we’re trying to cooperate that monokuma is making us suffer...? but what about...everything we went through..? what was the point of kaede sacrificing herself...?] deep down, i think he knows kokichi is right about monokuma. but he’s already made a promise! the reason he doesn’t pull away from the group like kokichi is because of kaede’s wish. he has a responsibility to make her death *mean* something - he feels like he killed her, after all.
-they did one of kirumi’s FTEs! the most important things i took from it are a) shuichi and kirumi have an absolutely terrible dynamic where shuichi tries to get kirumi to take care of herself, kirumi firmly refuses, and shuichi just...wilts under the pressure and lets her keep going, and b) shuichi said he prefers tea over coffee, i fucking told u so.
-they did one of miu’s next and just. just fuckigf look at this dialogue: “i call this baby the “hookup counter”! it counts how many people you’ve fucked! or how many have fucked you!” “d-don’t point that at me!” “too late! let’s see the result, shall we? HAH-HAHAHA! no fuckin’ way! you kiddin’ me!?” [what did it say? what did it say!?] SHUICHI WHY DON’T YOU KNOW. DON’T JUST MOVE ON TO THE UNDERWEAR TELEPORTER I HAVE QUESTIONS GODAMNIT!!!
-ok we got to the bit where shuichi says “...i wouldn’t eat that greasy food even if they threatened to kill me.” and u know what? He’s Right. i completely forgot how much mayonnaise was on that kimchi, absolutely horrific.
-kaito smacking the doorbell one billion times remains iconic.
-”what are you doing up at this hour?” “nyeeeh...well, just thinking. but it’s pretty late now. hmm, i think i’ll sleep well tonight. if i knew it’d be like this...i woulda had her undo my brainwashing a long time ago.” hey just for the record if anyone tells you everyone is brainwashed except for them and their group: Run.
-it’s clear you’re meant to laugh at shuichi here, but fifty push-ups is actually pretty impressive!? i can barely manage one......
-”when i look at you...i can’t help but feel frustrated. i ask myself...is the one kaede entrusted her wish to really this weak?” and here we see the beginning of kaito’s jealousy toward shuchi! it’s such an important part of his arc, and it frustrates me that so few people talk about it beyond his blowup in ch4. he admired kaede, and deep down he’s pissed that she chose shuichi to carry her wish instead of him, because *he’s* supposed to be the hero! he cares about shuichi, sure, but i think a lot of the sidekick bit is more about him wanting to feel like a savior. he’s big-hearted, but also has a strong tendency toward self-centeredness. he’s a lot like kokichi in that way.
-kaito is already “slacking” during the first training session, so he probably has the disease already. i wonder if he had it through ch1, or if it’s more recent?
-[i worked out for the first time in a long while...] so he did use to work out! if i had to guess, i’d say he probably stopped during his depressive episode after the murder case,,,still, it makes him reaching fifty push-ups make more sense.
-that’s the end of day seven! i’ll see you guys next time :]

I read the last question and i was if Kaede and Vernon Fight over Pecha's love, Kaede most likely will lose because he might be strong physically but he just doesnt know how to trow a punch the noodle artist plus he is not much ofna figther tho so... if it is a pokemon battle i am not sure.. his pokemon attacks are good, because Sugi helped to train them and all that! But will he really win?!?! but will try his best to win! Hahaha he will be open to a share tho or he might also fall in love with Vern too who knows otp3 yo! 😏💖💕
Also funny because in my timeline Pecha is also the canon love interest for kaede hahahaha i have said it and i will said it again Pecha is the popular girl around the block that everyone wants to date hahah 😂
@peachsodama come quick!! the boys are fighting!!!!!!!!
Vern isn’t much of a fighter either, he knows how to throw a punch if he needs to, and has the strength to make it hurt, but generally he prefers not to do that and would rather talk things out, even if touchy feely subjects can be hard for him to discuss at times haha
Pokemon battles on the other hand….. nah he doesn’t do those like. At all. The only battling he ever did was to catch the pokemon in his team, and evolve Roddy into a Corviknight. His Zigzagoon is still like level 5 or something, man raises his beasts on love alone and minimal strife/combat. Kaede could probably wipe the floor with him when it comes to pokemon with no issue whatsoever 😂😭
I think Vernon would be apprehensive about sharing but also like….. if he got to know Kaede and started to like him too…… maybe something could be worked out..? Man’s a bit more on the traditional side and has a minor possessive/jealous streak but if everyone has mutual feelings towards each other he could be willing to give poly a go. Pecha has 2 hands after all 😏😏
#this is especially funny when you take into consideration all three of these characters live in completely different regions#how are vern and kaede going to meet up for a fight they’re on literal opposite ends of the earth hfdjdksgk😂😂#oc vernon#oc kaede (not my oc)#oc pecha (not my oc)

Mozart MKII
Hi-dee ho, who’s in the house?
Kaede, hey! There you are.
How’d the meeting go?
Basically, Shuichi and Kyoko are gonna try and find wherever Zetsubou are camped out. In the meantime, we’re preparing to a siege, and I’ve been made one of the squad captains.
Which is why I’m here. Are you done looking at my spear? ‘Cause I’m gonna need it back.
Huh? Um...yeah, about that.
...
What did you do?
Wh-What’s with that judgmental glare!?
Miu...
Alright, fine! I may have made a couple of...upgrades to it?
I swear to god if you’ve added a vibration function or something.
No...wh-why would I do that? It’s a weapon, not a sex toy?
Miu, it’s you.
Ah yeah fair point.
You’ve got nothing to worry about Kaede. Miu and I worked on it together. I made sure no weird or out of place functions got added.
Mona!
Here it is. Just finished up with it.
What the heck!?
*Kaede retrieves her spear from Mona, only to see the weapon now looks completely different from how it did before.
Made a couple of design changes on top of the modifications. Hope they’re to your taste.
Yeah, this is definitely my color, but...what did you guys DO to it?
Well, after I got to see it in action, I realized something. The fact that you have a spear you can control using electromagnetic contraction is useful in and of itself, but there plenty of other things we can make it to do help you fight better with it.
So Miu and I got to work and gave it a bunch of new features.
See those keys near the head? Those are actual keys that you press to activate each function.
First of all, the mode it’s in right now is Polearm mode. You can activate it by pressing this key.
But if I press THIS key...
*Miu demonstrates, and as she presses the key, the sound of the piano rings out, and the bladed end of the polearm suddenly retracts, and a different mode protrudes.
This one is called Javelin mode. For pokey things!
Wow! So it changes into other kinds of weapons?
Well, it’s still a spear, just...different kinds.
Yeah. We assigned a mode for each key. Polearm mode, Javelin mode, and next is Bludgeon mode.
Bludgeon?
*Miu presses the third key and the sharp, needle-like javelin folds apart to reveal a half-sphere on a piston.
Watch.
*Mona takes the gauntlet and then the spear from Miu. She throws it towards a training dummy in the corner. The spear flies forward and the piston thrusts the tip outwards, leaving a large dent in the dummy. Mona calls the spear back to her.
That’s gonna leave a bruise.
Yeah, if you aim wrong, you might bust a lung or something.
Uh...
That was a joke. Anyway, the next mode is a little special.
*Mona presses the next button. This time, the bumper switches out to a megaphone shape.
What’s this one? Wait, isn’t this...?
Yep. This one is Hacking mode. It gives the weapon the same properties as the Future Foundation hacking guns, like the one’s Komaru Naegi uses. You hold it like this and fire it like a rifle.
It’s got all the same bullets too. We’ve got a list of them, but it might be best to just ask her for any tips on how to use it.
Awesome! And the last mode?
Ah, well...
*Mona presses the last key, which switches the weapon back to the bladed end again. However, this blade is bigger, and is a darker color.
What’s this one?
We didn’t give this one a name, since none of the ideas we came up with really worked. The working title is Kill mode though.
K-Kill mode? And...what does it do?
What do you think it does? The difference between this blade and the regular one is that the regular one doesn’t cut as deeply. In hectic situations like a fight to the death, you can use this one to...you know...
*Mona makes a swiping motion across her neck.
No. Not happening. I’m not gonna use this thing to kill anyone.
I figured you’d say that. To be honest, I only installed it as a precautionary measure.
Aside from the new functions, it’s retained all the old one’s. I’m trying to see if there’s a way you can control it without the big ugly glove, but you’re gonna have to give me more time with it for that.
And there you have it. The Mozart MK2.
Mozart MK2? What happened to the Mozart MK1?
Wasn’t that what it was called before?
I never named it that.
What? But Mii-Yu told me you named it the Mozart!
I never named it that, I just said I wonder if I could use the keys to PLAY Mozart Menuet No.1 K.1.
Still though, Mozart’s a good name for it, so I think I’ll stick with it.
Oh...good...That’s pretty embarrassing. I can never tell what Mii-Yu means literally or figuratively.
Still, this is amazing Mona! I was gone for like...what? A few hours? And you already accomplished all that!?
With Miu helping me, it was a lot easier.
Aw, thanks.
Sounds like you’ve got a good thing going for you Kaede.
*Everyone turns to see Rantaro enter the room.
Rantaro...
Hello Kaede. Apologies, I brought Rantaro here.
Just wanted to deliver a quick message. Shuichi’s headed out now, and he wanted me to let you know that he said bye.
And that if he doesn’t get back safely, he’s counting on you to come and rescue him.
Well, I owe him that much at least. Thanks.
No problem. I can sense that you’re not exactly welcoming of me right now, so I’ll take my leave for the time being.
Wait just one moment.
*Before Rantaro can leave, Miu stops him.
Yeah? What is it?
...We didn’t get much of a chance to talk when you showed up randomly. I’ve got a question I need to ask.
*Miu, with a stern expression, strides up to Rantaro.
Is it true? That you’re the one who programmed Mii-Yu?
...
...
...
...Yes, that’s right.
Mii-Yu is from our universe. Me and an old friend created her.
Uh-huh? And when did you create her? What kind of circumstance would lead you to wanting to make a robot?
...When did I do it?
That’s what I asked.
Well...It was actually during the 52nd Killing Game. Me and Mii-Yu’s other creator, Kojima, built her as a joint project during that time.
So Mii-Yu was born during a killing game?
No Mona, she was CREATED during a killing game. “Born” would imply she exists as a result of love.
But this smug asshole doesn’t see her as anything more than a mindless machine.
That’s not really true. Artificial Intelligence still counts as intelligence to me. It’s just not one that can really stand to learn on it’s own.
SHE is far more sophisticated than you give her credit for! Maybe she didn’t know how to learn when you made her, but she’s LEARNED how to learn.
...You seem to have taken quite a liking to her.
Oh, you think? Nah, must be your eyes playing tricks on you.
Regardless, is that your question? You wanted to affirm who, when and how Mii-Yu was built?
No...I want to know WHY she was built...
...!?
*Miu looms close to Rantaro’s face, threateningly.
Miu, please, don’t!
What did you build her for Rantaro? And why are you turning your back on your own creation like this?
What the fuck did you DO to her...!?
...
...
...
...
...
*Rantaro doesn’t respond.
You’re not gonna answer me, are you?
...
...If you crave the answers so much, then I ask that you give me a little bit of time.
It may sound like I’m dodging the question, but I feel like regardless of what answer I give you, your opinion of me will worsen. And I’m well aware that it’s an all time low right now, given the recent revelations.
You don’t have to like me Miu, but I need you to trust me for the time being. I’d rather not answer too many questions while risking that.
...
Fine. To be honest, I don’t HAVE to know the answer. Even if you never tell me, that’s alright too.
What I care about is Mii-Yu right now, not whatever bullshit she did back when she was with you.
If you want me to rely on you for the coming future Rantaro, I will. I don’t have much of a choice. But in exchange, I want you to promise ME something.
Oh yeah? What’s that?
*Miu pulls away and points at Rantaro.
You stay the FUCK away from her from now on. If I see you approaching her without my permission, I’m gonna shove a railgun up your ass and fire it.
Miu...
...I don’t have any reason to associate with her from this point on. She’s all yours.
*Rantaro exaunts.
...Fucking ass...!

3 Months
Over the course of three months Barnaby and Kotetsu closer and learn more about each other's scars, both physical and psychological after Kotetsu has to move in with Barnaby following a major surgery after a mission. Barnaby does his best to help Kotetsu as best as he can, wanting to return the sentiment for all the times Kotetsu has helped him.
But when both men are stubborn and wear masks it's easier said then done.
Luckily they've got friends, and each other.
a/n: I wanted to do a little fic exploration, both of Kotetsu and Barnaby learning more about each other being confined to a small space for a long period of time while so looking at the otherside of Kotetsu that we don't often see. Full story will be on AO3 but i thought id share the first chapter here ♥
I
“Why can’t I stay at my apartment?” Kotetsu frowned and crossed his arms over chest.
Barnaby crossed his arms over his chest and looked pointedly at the bright blue cast that covered nearly his entire left leg.
“Do you really think you can sleep on your couch for three to four months?” Barnaby asked. “Or climb up and down the stairs to your bed?”
“Well…it’s not like my couch is uncomfortable,” Kotetsu replied. “I’ve slept on it before.”
“And complained about a crick in your neck for the next three days after,” Barnaby reminded him. “It’s already been decided you’ll stay with me once you’re released from the hospital.”
“What? Bunny no, I can’t do that,” Kotetsu shook his head. “What about your solitude? And according to the doctor, I’d have to be with you at least a few months. That's…that’s a long time. I could just go home, use my vacation time.”
“Isn’t your mother planning to take Kaede on a vacation during her school break for a few weeks? And doesn’t your brother work?” Barnaby asked.
“Well yeah but…” Kotetsu shrugged. “I’m a grown man. I can look at myself.”
“Are you that opposed to staying with me?” Barnaby frowned a little.
“No but…three months? Are you sure you’re willing to do that?” Kotetsu asked.
“I wouldn’t have offered it if I wasn’t,” Barnaby answered. “Lloyds has already approved my request for a week off while you’re on bedrest, and I can work from home a few days a week to make sure you don’t injure yourself further when you no doubt attempt to do more than you should.”
“Got it all planned out don’t you?” Kotetsu sighed but smiled a little.
“Consider it me returning the favor from all the times you’ve helped me,” Barnaby replied. He stood up and picked up his jacket. “I’ll go by your place and pick up some clothes and essentials for you. Once your bedrest is over we can go back and see if there’s anything else you’d like to bring with you.”
“Do you need my keys?” Kotetsu asked.
Barnaby pulled them out of his pocket. “Already got them. Get some rest alright? I'll be back tomorrow.”
“Hey um…Thanks Bunny,” Kotetsu told him. “I’ll try not to get on your nerves too much.”
“I doubt that, but I appreciate the thought,” Barnaby smiled a bit. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“ So, gonna be staying with Barnaby huh?” Antonio asked. “ Should I get your casket ready now? Or give it a few weeks?”
Kotetsu rolled his eyes and picked at a loose thread on the hospital blanket. “I’m not that bad of a house guest. And I’ve been to Bunny’s place before, even stayed the night.”
“ Yes, after you’ve passed out drunk from drinking too much beer and wine,” Antonio pointed out.
“Okay…Fair point,” Kotetsu sighed.
He tried to lean back but the pillows he was propped up against made it a bit difficult. So he only managed to lean back a few inches at best.
“ Well I’d offer to let you stay with me, but, we know how well that went last time,” Antonio replied. “ Listen, I'm sure it’ll be fine.”
“Yeah…yeah you’re probably right,” he nodded.
“ You sure you’re alright? I know it’s late, but I could swing by, sneak in some bad food,” Antoio offered.
“No, it’s late, and the nurse is gonna swing by again to check on my leg, she’ll smell the hamburger grease a mile away,” Kotetsu told him. “But thanks for the offer.”
“ Three months are gonna fly by, and you’ll be back before you know it,” Antonio told him. “ Call me when you get settled in. Maybe we can convince Barnaby to invite the group over for some drinks.”
“That sounds great Antonio, I’ll talk to you later,” Kotetsu smiled a bit.
He hung up and set his cell phone on the small table next to the hospital bed. He tried to get more comfortable but between his leg being held up, and the pillows he was propped up against to avoid rolling over, he was stuck.
“Guess I got three months of having the straightest spine in existence right?” He pulled the blanket up and tried to get as comfortable as he could before closing his eyes and trying to sleep.
***
“Oh, you’re awake,” Barnaby blinked a little surprised as he walked into Kotetsu’s hospital room.
“I couldn’t really get comfortable enough to sleep,” Kotetsu shrugged and sat up a bit. “Between the nurses coming in to make sure I haven’t developed a concussion, or rolled over in my sleep…and ya know,” he motioned to the hospital room. “What’s in the bag?”
Barnaby nodded as he set down the bag he’d brought with him. “I brought you a change of clothes. The nurse said it’d be alright and I thought it might make you feel a bit more comfortable.”
“I…thanks Bunny, that’s, that’s really thoughtful of you,” Kotetsu smiled. “They’re a lot less itchy than this hospital gown I’ll tell you that much. Oh…but uh, how am I gonna manage pants with the cast?”
Barnaby pulled out a pair of shorts. “At least one silver lining is that it’s almost summer. Would you like some assistance or…?”
“I think I can manage, but uh…maybe stay close, just in case?” Kotetsu asked.
Barnaby nodded and pulled out the shirt he’d brought along with him, while Kotetsu started to remove the hospital gown being mindful of all the tubing he was still hooked up to. The shirt was easy enough, he’d grabbed a semi-random button up t-shirt that was blue with little pineapples on it.
The shorts were black and knee length. They were wide legged so he figured they’d be easier to slip on over the cast. He stayed close but didn’t hover, and busied himself with seeing what he semi-blindly grabbed from the other man’s apartment.
Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, socks, shoes, well, one shoe. Hat.
“Um…Bunny, could you give me a hand?” Kotetsu asked. “I can’t get my other leg.”
Barnaby looked over and saw that he had one leg through the right pant leg while he held the left side with his hand. He set down the hat and walked over to the bedside.
“Just uh, my ribs are still a little sore, I can pull them up I just need you to get them over my foot,” Kotetsu explained.
“Not a problem,” Barnaby nodded and knelt down.
He rolled up the left leg of the shorts and lifted his left foot carefully slipping it over the cast and pulled it up just enough for the other man to grab the hem and pull them up the rest of the way. He sat back on the bed and stared at his leg.
Barnaby didn’t move. Must as he wanted to help him, he knew Kotetsu would be stubborn, he already didn’t like hospitals, doing certain things without asking would just be making things worse.
He supposed in a way they were similar in that regard.
Stubborn, and at times unwilling to ask for help.
In Kotetsu’s case, not wanting to be a burden.
Though as he watched Kotetsu wince and bring his left leg up and prop it back up on the pillows, right leg quickly following before sagging against the pillows, he was sorely tempted to disregard those feelings.
“Better?” Barnaby asked instead.
Kotetsu nodded and sat up a bit. “Uh, sorry about the mess you probably had to wade through. I was gonna clean up cause Kaede and...crap, Kaede.” He covered his face with his hands. “She was supposed to come up this weekend. I told her we’d go shopping for a few things for her trip…can’t very well do that now…”
“Assuming it wasn’t too much of an overstep, I already called her and told her what happened,” Barnaby told him. “She was very understanding, and there’s still time before the trip. Putting it off for a few weeks won’t hurt.”
Kotetsu sighed. “I hate knowing I’m the reason she’s so…understanding and accommodating. I mean, I don’t, I think it’s great ya know. She’s got a good head on her shoulders. But at the same time…” he shrugged. “Thank you Bunny. Gonna have to buy you a case of that fancy wine you like to make up for all this.”
“Don’t worry about it, what partners are for right?” he waved his hand dismissively. “Besides, you can’t even pronounce its name. How do you expect to order a case?”
“I know what the bottle looks like,” Kotetsu replied. “I’ll just go to the store, find the bottle and tell them I want a case. Easy.”
“Whatever you say old man,” Barnaby crossed his arms over his chest and smiled a bit.
“Who you calling old Bunny? I’m hardly that much older than you,” Kotetsu pouted. “I can still go toe to toe with any criminal in Sternbild…well…could.”
“You could do a lot of damage with that cast,” Barnaby agreed. “Though, your punching’s a bit better than your kicking.”
“Laughter is always a good sign,” the nurse smiled as she walked into the room. “The Doctor has given the all clear for you to go home, we’re just gonna go over a few things. We'll have you sign the discharge forms and make a follow-up appointment for a few weeks for now to check and see how the healing process is going. I understand that you’ll be released into Mr. Brooks’s care?”
“Yes. That won’t be an issue will it?” Barnaby asked.
“Not at all,” she assured him. “We’ll also just need to take down your information, should anything come up, and so the pharmacy is aware for prescription pick ups.”
“Do we really need to go over it all? No offense but we’re pretty much old hands at this,” Kotetsu said. “Can we just pretend?”
“You’re going to be on a higher dosage of pain medication this time around Mr. Kaburagi, at least for the first few weeks, the doctor has also prescribed an optional sleeping medication. Patients sometimes have trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep following major surgery, especially with one as extensive as yours given that you’ll have to sleep propped up for the most part. As I said though, it is entirely optional, so if you don’t feel the need to take it, then you don’t have to,” she explained.
“We understand,” Barnaby nodded when Kotetsu didn’t say anything. “Please, continue.”
***
“Are you hungry? I haven’t had the chance to go grocery shopping yet, but I can have something delivered,” Barnaby offered. “I think I’ve got some take out menus in the kitchen from the last few times.”
“Honestly Bunny, I think I just wanna try and get some sleep,” Kotetsu told him. “Maybe later though?”
Barnaby nodded. “I’ll just be in the living room if you need anything.”
Kotetsu nodded and settled back against the pillows.
Barnaby turned out the light and left the door ajar as he left the bedroom. He ran a hand through his hair as he walked to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge before looking through the drawers until he found a pen and notepad making a quick grocery list.
He could do this.

A Taste Of Kimchi
The class learn about Kokichi's twin brother, Kimochi.
[Hope’s Peak Academy AU, Non Despair, Humor]
It was a normal day at Hope's Peak Academy. Miu was being her usual loud self, Kaede was trying unsuccessfully to get everyone to calm down, Kokichi had stolen something off of Maki's desk resulting in both her and Kaito trying to chase him down with many casualties in the process. Tenko had picked Himiko up and moved her bodily out of the way of the way of the chase, while Shuichi had been knocked over, Kaito throwing a "sorry" over his shoulder without stopping.
It was during this mad dash aroudn the classroom that Kiibo noticed something falling to the classroom floor. A picture, it seemed, and a quick examination of the ten individuals shown revealed it to belong to Kokichi. The picture was quickly taken out of Kiibo's hands though, as Kaito noticed the picture and helped himself to it.
"Yo, Kokichi! What the hell is this?" Kaito asked, waving the picture around to get his attention.
Kokichi looked at him cautiously, waiting until Maki had stopped chasing him before looking at Kaito. "How am I supposed to see it if you keep waving it around?"
Miu, was close enough that she barely had to lean over to see, let out a loud laugh. "Heh, just a bunch of clowns."
That statement drew the rest of the class forward. Realization seemed to dawn on Kokichi's face as he grinned and moved closer to them. "Oh, that. That's just a picture of the loyal followers of my secret organization."
"Bullshit," Kaito said immediately.
"Oh, you're in this picture, too," Kaede said when she got a look at it.
"What?" Kokichi moved closer, snatching the picture from Kaito's hands to look at it himself. "Oh, that's just Kimchi."
"Who?"
"My twin," Kokichi answered with a shrug. He put the picture into his pocket where it was assumed to have come from.
"No way there's two of you!" Kaito said immediately, rejecting the idea. "You would have said something by now."
"Nishishi," Kokichi grinned at him. "Sure, that's a lie. Just like my organization and my talent, right?"
"W-well..."
"You can't blame us for being a bit skeptical," Korekiyo spoke up. "You have a reputation for stretching the truth, after all."
"I tell the truth all the time," Kokichi objected. "It's not my fault that none of you believe me." With that said, Kokichi ran out of the classroom.
No one realized that that was just the beginning.
It was nearly two weeks later that Miu came rushing into the classroom with a manic grin on her face. "Holy shit, guys! I just saw Bakamatsu and Cockichi holding hands!"
"What?" Kiibo questioned, blinking at her.
"No way," Kaito said, moving across the room to her desk. "You must have seen that wrong. There's no way Kaede would hold hands with that little freak."
"Maybe Kokichi and Kaede like each other more than we think?" Gonta pondered out loud.
"It's not really any of our business," Kirumi pointed out.
"Bullshit it's not my business," Miu replied, glaring at the maid. "If my classmates are getting busy behind my back, I wanna know about it."
"Your curiosity doesn't make you entitled to the knowledge," Kirumi said with a small frown.
"Maybe we should just ask them?" Shuichi suggested.
"That little runt would just lie!" Miu complained.
Maki rolled her eyes. "Then ask Kaede."
Miu took her advice to heart, cornering Kaede as soon as the girl entered the classroom. "why were you holding hands with Kokichi, huh?"
Kaede took taken aback. "W-what?"
Kiibo placed a hand on Miu's shoulder, trying to calm her down. "Miu thinks she say you and Kokichi holding hands."
"Um, no," she answered with a confused expression on her face. After a moment, recognition flooded her face and she smiled at them. "Oh, that must have been our twins. They've been hanging out lately." With that seemingly settled, Kaede went to her desk.
The rest of the class was much less convinced.
Kaito sighed. "What? Now she has a secret twin? That little gremlin must have gotten to her."
"I bet they're secretly dating," Miu cackled. "That's why they came up with this super lame lie."
"We shouldn't assume that," Shuichi said.
"If Kaede and Kokichi dating, Gonta happy for them!"
"I... agree with Shuichi," Kiibo said. "It's wrong to assume."
Miu rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Be in denial if you want."
They were quiet by the time Kokichi showed up, except for Gonta's well meaning cry of, "Congratulations, Kokichi! Gonta happy if you happy." That left the Supreme Leader confused.
It was Shuichi that eventually asked, "Do you really have a twin, Kokichi?"
The Supreme Leader grinned widely at him. "Sure do! We're completely identical! He's always copying my style, can you believe it!"
"I don't believe it," Kaito insisted, butting into the conversation from two desk away.
"Nyeh, what's your twin like?" Himiko asked.
"Believe it or not, he's the evil twin," Kokichi answered with a smile.
"More evil than your annoying ass?" Miu asked.
Kokichi glared at her. "No one was talking to you, slut!"
"Eh!"
"Forgive me for saying so," Kirumi said. "But I find it hard to believe that your twin could be more difficult to deal with than you."
Kokichi teared up immediately. "Wh-what? M-mom... doesn't love me anymore... Wahh!"
Kirumi looked pained as Kokichi wailed at her loudly, regret written all over her face.
Rantaro placed a hand on Kokichi's hand, which seemed to work as a switch since Kokichi stopped crying instantly. "Hey, I'm sure Kirumi didn't mean it that way."
"Yay!" Kokichi said, throwing his arms around Rantaro. "I knew someone here loved me!"
"I still don't believe it," Kaito insisted. "You haven't , mentioned having a twin once before now. This has got to be some kind of prank."
Kokichi rolled his eyes. "It's not my fault that none of you ever cared enough to ask."
"He has a point," Tsumugi spoke up. "We've knew really asked before, so..."
"Prove it," Maki demanded. "If your twin is real, there should be proof, right?"
Kokichi's expression went blank. "Are you all sure? I've protected you all from him so far, but if I let you meet him, then you're all on your own."
"I can't imagine him being worse than a degenerate male like you," Tenko said. "Not that I believe you in the first place."
"Well, you all asked for it." Kokichi said. "Tomorrow I'll let you all meet Kimchi!"
"What kind of name is Kimchi, anyway?" Kaito questioned.
"Short for Kimochi," Kokichi told them. "I call him Kimchi and Dice call him Mochi. Wars have been fought over his name, you know."
"Sounds made up to me," Miu grumbled.
"The only thing made up around here is your dignity, whore!"
The conversation devolved into bickering from there.
The next day, Kokichi came to school wearing a hat, cape, and bright smile. "Good morning my dear classmates," he called out to them.
"You seem to be in a good mood today," Kiibo noted.
Kokichi skipped over to Kiibo, placing himself on the robot's death. "Of course I'm in a good mood when I get to see all my wonderful friends."
"What the hell is this?" Miu asked, flinching away from Kokichi where she stood beside Kiibo. "The twerp is acting weird."
Kokichi frowned. "Hey now, there's no need for name calling."
Kirumi removed her glove and placed the back on her hand on his forehead. "He doesn't feel warm."
"I'm not feeling the love today," he told them. "I thought I would be welcome here."
Gonta stood up from his seat at that. "Ah, Kokichi no be sad. Gonta happy to see him!"
Kokichi smiled again. "I knew someone would be happy to see me. I missed you to Gonta!"
"Wait a minute," Kaede said, walking over to Kokichi and staring him down. "You're... You're Kimchi, aren't you?"
Somehow, his smile got brighter. "You got me! So Kokichi really did tell you about me? That makes me soo happy! And I'm really glad to see you, Kaede."
Kaito got to his feet. "That's enough, Kokichi. We're not gonna fall for your little trick. Now knock it off. You're weirding me out."
He shook his head. "Kaito, Kaito, Kaito. Always such a disbeliever. Weren't you the one that wanted to see me in the first place?"
"Um," Shuichi spoke up. "Technically, Maki was the one that wanted proof."
His eyes brightened as he hopped off Kiibo's desk. "And where is our lovely Maki? I've wanted to meet her most of all."
Maki sighed from her desk, glaring at Kokichi. "You really think I'm gonna believe you're someone else just because you're acting a little differently. You look exactly the same, even if you are wearing a different outfit."
Kokichi frowned as he looked down at his clothes. "You don't like my cape?"
"I like the cape," Himiko said.
Kokichi smiled at her. "You were always my favorite."
Tenko pulled Himiko into her arms and shielded her from his sight. "Don't you get any ideas, degenerate!"
He laughed. "You're all just as much fun as Kokichi said you would be." He skipped closer to Maki. His back was to the rest of the class, so she was the only one that could see how his face became progressively darker. "I've heard that you're the most fun of all, Maki. Is that true? Do you play with my brother as much as he says?" He was standing right in front of her now and his voice dropped from the cheerful tone he'd ben using into something dark and threatening. Worse than anything they'd heard from Kokichi before. "Or was that just a lie to cover up how poorly you treat him. Are you a problem that I need to handle without him knowing, Maki Harukawa?"
Maki actually looked taken aback, prompting Kaito to step towards them. "Hey, what are you doing to Makiroll?" He grabbed Kokichi by the shoulder and spun him around. By that point, he was already wearing the bright expression from earlier again.
"Something wrong Kaito?"
Kaito picked him up by his cape. His eyes widened in surprise, feet kicking out beneath him. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"What is wrong with you today?"
Kokichi's eyes began to water, but rather than the wail they were used to, trails of tears began to roll down his face. "Why... are you doing this to me?" he asked them. "I just... wanted to be your friends..."
"H-hey..."
And then the real Kokichi walked into the room, pausing as he took in the sight before him. "What the hell are you doing to Kimchi!" Kokichi ran toward Kaito, pushing him and making him lose his grip on Kimochi. Kokichi leaned over his twin, wiping his tears. "Hey, what happened? What did they do?"
Kimochi shook his head. "N-nothing, they were great..."
"You don't have to lie to me, Kimchi," Kokichi said. "If they were mean to you, I'll make their life hell for the next three years."
"They weren't... all bad," Kimochi said. "Gonta was nice. And Himiko."
Kokichi glared around the room. "Do you guys really hate me that much?" he asked. "Kimchi was here for five minutes and you already..." He took his twin brother's hand, pulling him toward the door. "We're leaving. I don't want to see any of your faces."
As they left the classroom, Kimchi looked back at them. His expression was twisted and his grin was manic as he looked at them. "Goodbye class."
Everyone was silent until they were out of sight.
"Holy shit!" Kaito said. "What the hell was that?"
Kaede sighed. "That was Kimchi."
"That little shit really does have a twin!" Miu exclaimed.
"I don't know why you doubted it," Kaede said. "I told you guys."
"Well, yeah, but we didn't believe you," Kaito admitted, scratching the back of his head. "We thought you were just embarrassed to be caught holding his hand or whatever."
Kaede wrinkled her nose. "Why would I be embarrassed?" she asked. "I'm not the type to lie about stuff like that."
"She has a point," Rantaro pointed out.
"I suppose we should have taken Kokichi's words of warning to heart," Korekiyo said.
"Guys, there's something else I think we should worry about," Shuichi spoke up. He ducked his head a bit when all eyes were on his, but he continued, "Kimochi lied to Kokichi and Kokichi has no idea."
They all paused, absorbing the fact that Kokichi knew his twin was, in his own words evil, and still fell for the trick that the class had been able to make him cry.
Miu summed it up nicely when she loudly exclaimed, "Fuck!"
"Guess Kokichi has a blind spot where his brother is concerned," Rantaro said.
"Do you think he meant it when he said he would make our life hell?" Kiibo asked.
"Angie thinks that some of you should start praying to Atua before Kokichi returns to class."
For once, the class thought that maybe she was right.

Limitless. Chapter 9: Suspicions Rising
Chapter 1: click HERE
Chapter 8: click HERE
Chapter 10: click HERE
Anything in italics are flashbacks.
Kaito felt a lot better when he and Shuichi exited the bathroom. Thankfully, no one was looking at Kaito like they had done after his outburst. They all decided that Shuichi could handle everyone and went back to their own business. Kiyo was gone, most likely escorted to the lab for his turn. Kaito will have to find him later to apologise for what happened. Both he and Shuichi went back to where Kaito was sitting. As Kaito sat down, Shuichi started to rummage through the board games. He probably thought that a game of something might help Kaito feel more relaxed. Now that Kaito thought about it, playing a game does sound good right about now.
"Everything okay?" Kaede asked as she sat down at the table.
"Yeah. Kaito just got a little freaked out." Shuichi answered, placing a game down on the table.
"Don't worry, Kaito. Kiyo doesn't mean to do it, but he does scare people a little when it comes to his powers." Kaede smiled sympathetically as she remembered the first time Kiyo spoke to her about a spirit wanting to talk to her. Kaito smiled back, albeit a little wobbly. He looked back down at the paper in front of him. He still needs to write this letter. Maybe he'll just tell his grandparents that he's okay and he's made new friends. The last thing that he needs to do is to scare them with the experiment that he went through. He was about to make a start when someone suddenly looked their arms around his shoulders from behind, causing him to let out an involuntary yelp.
"Were you scared, Kaito?" Kokichi laughed, revelling in the result of his childish prank. Kaito ignored him, but it didn't stop him from being nosy. "Hey! Hey! What you doing there Kaito?"
"Should you not be touching me?" Kaito said, trying to hold back a laugh as he remembered his first day in the Facility.
"I already touched someone else a minute ago. I won't be able to have your powers for another hour or so." Kokichi said, sounding disappointed. Kaito normally wouldn't be convinced as the boy has lied so too many times for him to count. However, seeing as how Kokichi wasn't flying uncontrollably right now, Kaito had to take his word for it. "So what are you doing? Come on! Tell me!"
"Not that it's any of your business, I'm writing a letter." Kaito sighed, giving up. He knows that if he doesn't say anything, Kokichi will just keep digging until he gets what he wants.
"To who?" Shuichi asked as he was in the middle of setting up the game.
"My grandparents." Kaito answered, not looking up at his new friends.
"You're allowed to write letters to your family?" Shuichi asked again, his voice laced with confusion.
"Yeah. Just like everyone else." Kaito shrugged absentmindedly, again not even noticing how confused his friend was.
"Kaito, we don't get to write letters to our families." Kaede suddenly said, her voice laced with sadness and confusion.
"What?" Kaito exclaimed, his head snapping up so fast that he's surprised that it didn't detach from his body. He finally saw the looks that his friends were now giving. Minus Kokichi, they looked confused and hesitant to answer his question. Shuichi and Kaede were glancing each other uncomfortably. This was the first red flag.
"I don't know what White had promised you, but it was obviously a lie." Kokichi suddenly interjected, smiling like he had won the lottery. Red flag number two.
"Kaito, no one here contacts the outside world. We're not even allowed outside." Shuchi added after an uncomfortable minute. "The last time I spoke to my uncle was as I was going to school one morning. Three years ago." The third red flag was getting ready to be raised. No one contacts the outside world at all? No one goes outside? Kaito suddenly glanced around the Lounge Area. He noticed an insect magazine that Gonta was looking at, and saw that it looked really old, creases along the magazine. The book that Maki was reading too seemed old and read many time before as there were clear and evident creases along the spine. The cartoon that Miu was currently watching was a mech cartoon that Kaito had seen before. The problem was that it was when he was a little kid and the show had stopped years ago. They don't even repeat it anymore. Come to think of it, cartoons and documentaries that aired years ago were the only things that played on the TV. No news broadcasts or new shows. It was like time had stopped down here.
Kaito suddenly recalled something. It was on his first day. When everyone was asking him random questions. He didn't make them out or think about them much at the time, but looking back on it now, a few of the questions were suddenly made crystal clear to him.
"Are my family still looking for me?"
"Do people still miss me?"
"Has anyone looked into my disappearance?"
Red flag number three has now been put up, higher and brighter than the previous two.
Ignoring his friends trying to speak to him, Kaito got up and started going to the door. He needs answers. He needs to speak to White. He's the only man that can give Kaito the answers that he needs right now. The problem was that there was a guard standing in the way.
"I need to see Dr. White." Kaito stated as he approached the guard. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he hoped that the guard would listen to him.
"He's not available." The guard said emotionlessly. Kaito didn't know if he was lying or not but he needed to get his point across.
"I need to speak with him, it's important." He argued, his tone sounding more urgent.
"Sit down." The guard ordered, slowly reaching for his baton. Kaito didn't notice, he didn't care to do so.
"I need to see Dr. White." He repeated. He didn't notice it at first, but his body was suddenly off the ground. When he did notice that he was suddenly taller than the guard, he fought hard to hide his surprise. He wanted to stand firm with his choice to see White, that was what was important to him at that moment. However, he suddenly felt a jolt of electricity run through him again. He couldn't hold back a scream as he suddenly crashed to the floor. He barely heard someone shouting his name. He looked up at the guard, holding his stomach in pain.
"Listen here, you freak! You don't order me around!" The guard shouted, foaming at the mouth. He raised the baton, looking like he was ready to strike Kaito. Not giving him another electric shock, but a proper and possibly damaging strike like the baton was an iron pipe. The teenager put an arm up to try to defend himself. However, the guard's arm was shaking. The guard looked at it and visibly went pale. Kaito had not doubt that his eyes were bulging out of their sockets as the man tried to force his arm to move. He looked around the room, his landing on what-no, who-he was searching for. Kaito turned around. Everyone in the room looked as pale as the guard, even Kokichi. Maki had stood up from where she was sitting. She wasn't speaking or doing anything but standing there, staring at the guard coldly. Kaito didn't even need to ask what was happening. Maki was using her powers to protect him. But why?
"Y-you! Stop this! I order-" the guard stuttered, panic lacing his voice. Maki only stared harder. She suddenly jerked her head a little. There was a sickening sound of multiple bones snapping at once. Kaito whipped his head around to look at the guard. His arm was completely mangled. All the bones in his arm was broken, ensuring that the man might have permanent damage if he isn't taken to a hospital or have Rantaro heal him soon. While Kaito had a small sense of victory, the guard suddenly pulled out a small red button and pressed it. A door that was unseen to everyone earlier suddenly burst open. Without word or warning two guards rushed at Maki. She didn't fight back, probably didn't have a chance to, as she was suddenly shocked. Her voice turned into a loud, high pitched scream until she passed out on the floor completely. Her scream was so loud and ear shattering that it seemed to rattle the entire room.
"What is going on here?!" Dr White's voice suddenly rang out. He was standing at the main door, looking around at the damage that had been done. The guard's mangled arm. Kaito being helped to his feet by Shuichi and Kaede, still holding his abdomen. Maki laying unconscious on the ground, looking so still that she might as well be dead.
"It was the telekinetic bitch! She attacked me unprovoked, sir!" The injured guard shouted before Kaito could put a word in, pointing an accusing finger at the unconscious girl.
"That's not-" Kaito was ready to argue, pushing himself away from Shuichi and Kaede before they could stop him.
"Again? When will that girl-put her in Isolation." White sighed heavily. With that, the guards standing by Maki picked her up, one holding her arms and the other holding her legs. They lifted her up so quickly and haphazardly, that she almost flew out of their grasp. They carried her so carelessly that they didn't care if they dropped her or not. Kaito couldn't put a word in as she was carried out efficiently. None of the other Limitless spoke up for her or tried to tell the truth. Were they that scared of White?
"Doc. I need to speak to you. It's extremely important." Kaito suddenly spoke up, not quite sure what he was doing at this point.
"Very well. Escort Momota to my office. I'll be there momentarily." White sighed heavily, looking like he was at his wits end. Kaito didn't hesitate in leaving as he was escorted by two guards out of the Lounge Area. He barely heard White barking orders at everyone else that was left behind. The only thing that he was focused on was getting answers. That's all that matters right now.

Saimota is a fantastic ship that only improves with age and their respective maturity. Right from the get-go we see this in canon, too! They have a tumultuous first clash at the end of chapter 1 which is immediately turned on its head, and the subsequent growth and development of their in-game relationship really stands out that much more because of it.
This is a long one, so strap in!
Kaito realizes his mistake in his approach after punching him the night before and rectifies it immediately the next morning when he notices Shuichi hasn’t come to breakfast, rightly guessing that he’s stewing in his own grief and misery. And then, being the emotionally intelligent guy he is, he follows up that night and drags him out to exercise (which, y’know, releases endorphins and is scientifically proven to help with mood boosts and even depression) - a move which Shuichi says in chapter 5 saved his life.
A couple days pass and a body drops. Kaito supports him through the investigation knowing that Kaede had been with him last time and that there’s a danger of him relapsing. In the trial, too, Kaito makes every effort to let Shuichi know that he isn’t alone and someone does have his back if he fumbles. This is the real moment that Shuichi chooses to depend on Kaito and is rewarded for it, and while Kaito does get plenty of ego-feed out of it, he believes in Shuichi and his talent wholeheartedly (enough so that it’ll come back to bite him later). But despite it being framed as a ‘hero and sidekick’ relationship, it’s not just for Kaito’s self-worth - it’s to take some of the mental load off of Shuichi, who really, really doesn’t want the pressure of everyone’s lives solely on his shoulders, and is now dealing with the guilt of two cases where uncovering the guilty party hurt him.
(quick chapter 2 interlude! while this is where a lot of the big hero-worship begins for Shuichi and happens to be where I also did his first FTE and got to witness this:
this is also the chapter when these moments happen, post-breakfast and post-casino scene respectively:
and this happens in the very next FTE:
mmm yes, the duality of man. Suffice it to say, while Shuichi has definite rose-coloured glasses on for a lot of the game, Kaito is definitely not an invincible, untouchable hero in his eyes)
Interestingly enough, despite Shuichi still very much leaning into their friendship (and vice versa), they don’t spend a lot of time together in Chapter 3 after he brings Maki out to training that first night! While Chapter 4 is their real ‘break’, Kaito spends a lot of time in his room in the second half while Shuichi gets to know Maki better. And while Maki is a much, uh, meaner investigation partner (love you girl, but that tongue is sharp), they make a great team. Shuichi also starts poking at Kaito’s reason for holing up in his room, incorrectly guess that it’s just related to the occult being brought up. Most importantly, Shuichi is able to do an investigation on his own independent of Kaito just a week after the end of Chapter 1.
Chapter 4 and its immediate aftermath in 5 is great because it showcases Kaito’s flaws and insecurity, and what conflict between the two of them look like. It’s because Kaito respects Shuichi so much that cracks in his own confidence start appearing - and while Shuichi can be obtuse and awkward at times, he shows signs of wanting to broach some more sensitive topics with Kaito; if you do FTEs with Kaito in Ch 4, he even has an inner narrative in which he notes that Kaito had said his stomach hurt before.
He’s not so self-absorbed as to not worry about his friend (but narratively we gotta save that juicy plot point and subsequent reveal for the end of the trial) but hey, Kaito wants to chill and just shoot the shit - so why not have some downtime with his friend in the murder school. Btw, their FTE availability ends here - so if Shuichi has completed them with Kaito, he’s already had his canon-saimota thoughts at this point. While I have given Shuichi the side-eye for his ‘I can rely on Kaito for anything’ spiel, he is fully able and willing to stand up to Kaito in the Chapter 4 trial despite his canon feelings for him at that point. By the way, it’s been a week and a half since the end of Chapter 1 at this point. Shuichi and Kaito have had an arc together where they become fast friends in a pressure-cooker situation and bonding over shared grief for Kaede (even if Kaito’s is less obvious), Shuichi starts as dependent on Kaito’s emotional support but learns to stand on his own two feet, and Kaito is forced to confront his own weakness and hero persona, all while classmates are dropping (including Kaito’s own ex-hero figure, a stark reminder that ‘heroes’ do have flaws).
So the beginning of Chapter 5 is wild to me because of how it’s so often misinterpreted as Kaito immaturely giving Shuichi the silent treatment despite the entirety of the game preceding it explicitly showing that Kaito will tell you, loudly, when he’s angry at you, and that’s purely because we’re in Shuichi’s perspective and he thinks that’s what’s going on - but that’s a bit of a tangent. What I like about it is how we get to see what happens when Kaito (as sick as he is at that point) feels badly and embarrassed with someone he is close to; he withdraws as opposed to lashing out. And while Shuichi is really, really bad at reaching out too without an inciting incident (tunnel escape), he does try and broach the topic when push comes to shove. He’s not lost in hero worship, not even close - he is rightfully upset that the person he’s closest to at the school is upset while still maintaining to himself and the others that his actions were correct. He doesn’t waver on this, despite his attempt to offer an olive branch at the window of the hangar’s bathroom. He truly stands by his own choices in the last class trial and know he won't back down on that if push comes to shove, and that's important - he won't yield the point just to appease Kaito. Shuichi then manages the investigation on his own, leads the trial on his own, faces off with Maki (and who he thinks is Kokichi) on his own, because he has *reached* a point where he can be independent. And to bring it back to how we get a look at ‘saimota in conflict’, Shuichi and Kaito both make amends with each other by the end of the chapter. Even if it’s spurred by it being their final goodbye, Shuichi gets to say his piece, Kaito lays out one of his own vulnerabilities so he can make peace with Shuichi - and even if I’d love to have had them delve into all of Kaito's various issues, there is a very murderous robobear overseeing this which makes time a factor - and I firmly believe that if they had more time, they could’ve resolved even more of the issues that would come up for Saimota. The groundwork wasn’t just there; there was already half the structure in place. And that’s what makes saimota even more appealing to me, tbh. We get to see them build a relationship, run into a big issue, struggle through it and resolve it by the end of the game - and it means that there’s precedent for them to do it again as more interpersonal challenges come up! It’s a goldmine of ship exploration, and they care about each other enough to work through it.
… By the way, at this point they are 2 weeks past the end of Chapter 1.
Imagine if they had more time. Imagine if Shuichi, who is absolutely dogged in pursuing an issue once he catches wind of it (despite how he can get wrapped up in his own head), who cares a lot for other people, who doesn’t just find runaways as part of his detective talent, but follows up with them after because he cares about more than just finishing the job, had the chance to spend years with Kaito and realize he uses his hero persona to protect a much more fragile sense of self. Imagine Shuichi forming that initial friendship with Kaito without the albatross of Kaede’s death hanging around his neck; about how he’ll still look up to Kaito and his fantastic positivity, passion and excellence in his chosen field, and that would only be matched by Kaito’s own admiration of Shuichi’s skills as a detective. Imagine if Kaito, who repeatedly shows the ability to reflect and change his mind when presented with evidence against his viewpoint and was able to express his own insecurity and jealousy to Shuichi in the end, was given the breathing room and space to get more comfortable with doing so. Imagine how difficult and emotionally mature they were to navigate as well as they did in a life-or-death situation that took place over a couple of weeks tops, and how much more they could grow if given the time and space for it.
... And this was nearly going to be where I ended the post, until Ira reminded me of TDP and sent me this wonderful Saimota event (which takes place before the final graduation/training trio event):
Oh hey, Shuichi picked up his catchphrase! It's quite cute how he's finishing Kaito's sentence here - he's spent a couple of years being friends with Kaito at this point, and has even taken up exercising on his own for stress relief. I wonder whose influence that was?
Anyway -
Shuichi has figured out at this point that he does need to firmly extend that helping hand to Kaito rather than worry and keep it to himself. On the other side, Kaito has learned that it is okay to accept that outstretched hand, even if he doesn't need it right now - that he can admit that some day, he might. He's being blase, sure, but it is a far cry from his in-game 'I don't/won't need help'. Good for you, Kaito - you've grown a lot! And that's the most important thing their TDPs show - their capacity for growth not just as individuals, but in a relationship. Of course there will be bumps along the way - it’s very rare that any relationship won’t have them! - but they've proven that they can work these problems in the worst of circumstances. This is by far one of the strongest ships with canon foundation in the entire series, and my goodness do I still love it years later.

DRV3 Girls with an S/O who is like Izuru Kamukura
Warnings: None
Mod Ibuki: Requested by @seevanaa ! I hope you enjoy!
Kaede was elated!
Kaede:
She felt really loved!
She knew you favored very few people, as you got bored very easily
So for you to take interest in her made her so happy!
Kaede knows your attention span is limited, so she tries to find things you can enjoy
Although, it doesn’t work often, it’s the effort that counts
One thing that never fails to keep your interest is her piano
When she plays, it always seems to keep you occupied
Sometimes you’ll even play with her!
Often you’ll sit next to her and do duets, occasionally you’d trace your fingers over hers
She finds the fact that you’re literally good at everything so cool!
Every Ultimate? The Ultimate Hope? Amazing!
“Hehe, try this, S/O! We can do it together! Maybe it’ll be fun!”
Kirumi:
Kirumi adored you
It was hard for her to find romantic interest, and it was the same for you
So when you both discovered your mutual infatuation, you both clinged to each other a bit
You would often watch Kirumi work, and when you got bored, you would help her
She always let you, too
It would be hard for her to admit since she is so used to doing things on her own, but she loved when you helped
One time when she was dusting, you came up behind her and placed your hand over hers and moved her hand with yours
She swears she’s never blushed so much in her life
Kirumi would always find things for you to do, whether you liked them or not was up to your interest, but nevertheless she always tried
She found doing things with you keeps your attention far longer
“S/O, I found a book that I never believe you’ve read. Although you can probably predict the end, I thought it’d be a nice activity to do together. Would you like to read with me?”
Angie:
Her excitable personality definitely caught your interest
Angie never slowed down, so that immediately attracted you to her
She includes you in her art projects
Since you are also amazing at art, you two often work on projects together
You don’t really participate in her praying, but you’ll observe
You get bored very easily by sitting and watching, but you put up with it for her sake
Angie likes talking about Atua, so you learned everything there was about the god
In under 10 minutes
Angie calls your Ultimate a “blessing from Atua himself!”
She loves putting your Ultimate to the test
Seeing what you can do is so fascinating!
“S/O! Can you do this? Oh! What about this?”
Tenko:
Tenko is honestly shocked she found interest in you
You, not so much
Like Angie, Tenko keeps you on your toes, so that immediately drew you in
Tenko was more fast paced, but she didn’t mind that you weren’t!
Tenko loves learning about what you can do with your Ultimate, or Ultimates, if you will
She puts it to the test quite often
Aikido!!
She doesn’t really have a training partner, so she often asks you
Tenko taught you everything about aikido so you could train with you
Most sessions left her flustered (sometimes even you), since she often held onto you as she taught you stances
Once you got aikido down, you two trained very frequently!
It never bored you since Tenko was very competitive, it kept you occupied for long periods of time
Sometimes, you didn’t even realize how much time has gone by
“You think you can beat me, S/O! Ha! Take this! Remember I love you, baby!”
Miu:
Miu got really flustered around you
She would try to insult you or flirt, only for you to come back with something ten times better
It turned her on, and made her mad
You were perfect for her!
Once Miu got over her reaction to your flirting, she started going back and forth with you
Flirt battles, if you will
“You’re lookin’ so hot today, S/O. What’s your secret, hm?” “Waking up next to a beautiful girl such as yourself seems to do the trick.” “Oh, S/O! You flatter me!”
You help her with her inventions all the time!
She appreciates the help, and it satisfied you for a pretty long time
You would hug her from behind while she worked, and vice versa
Miu got slightly annoyed that you were bored by pretty much everything
But she tried her best to help your attention span by presenting you with her totally awesome inventions!
“You’ll never be bored again! The Ultimate Inventor and gorgeous girl genius, Miu Iruma, is at your service!
Maki:
You and Maki got along perfectly
She was pretty stoic, as were you
Maki wouldn’t admit it, but she found your ability to be good at literally everything pretty impressive
You would recommend her weapons with complete summaries on their strengths and weaknesses
It helped her a lot during missions
Maki couldn’t use swords before she met you! But once you two did come into close contact, you taught her how to use one properly
Before she knew it, she was a master at wielding one
Maki knew you got bored easily, so she tried to keep your attention on something for longer than five minutes
As long as she was with you, you could honestly pay attention as long as she wants
Although it might not be on the activity
“And then you do that, and it’s supposed to-” “Hm, supposed to what?” “Are you staring at me?” “Yes.” “Pay attention.” “I am, just not on the topic you wish me to.”

Yashahime Episode 15
I think so many of my feelings and observations have been stated by others at this point, but here go my rambling thoughts anyway.
First the negative: It was an oddly structured episode. The introduction threw us straight into the past, very, very briefly framed by Riku as the narrator. Did Riku break the fourth wall or were we to assume a listener we did not see? I’m still not sure. So much information was thrown at the audience that it did not feel like there was enough times to savor the emotions of the moments ... very very important moments that showed us Inuyasha and Kagome’s home and married dynamic, pregnant Kagome, RIN HAVING HER BABIES with Kaede, Sango and Kagome being there (I LOVED that), Sesshomaru taking his babies...I’m willing to wait and assume this rushed narrative is on purpose, but it was a little jarring.
Now the good:
Rin is the mommy! I knew that. I was convinced on August 1st during the livestream, but it was a sweet (if all too brief) moment. Mamiko Noto’s voice as Rin was so perfect. It was sweet, but it was subdued. It was the voice of a someone who had just birthed twins and knows something awful is about to go down. To hear her name the babies was a beautiful moment, and how sweet were baby Towa and Setsuna. Towa looked a little grumpy/sleepy, but baby Setsuna was already smiling :). I do think they will show that Setsuna, deep down, is a smiling sweet girl like her mother and that circumstances made her like she is. It also makes me think that we have only seen one side of Towa -- we haven’t really seen what she has inherited from Sesshomaru -- yet.
I loved that all of Rin’s friends surrounded her and helped her have her babies. The twins hurrying to get Kaede, Sango going for Kagome...it was a community event! But seriously, to know that if only for a short while, Rin got to be surrounded by love and peace with her babies by her side makes the bitterness of Sesshomaru taking the babies so quickly afterwards a little easier to bear. Just a little. Sango the experienced mom. Kaede the midwife. Rin the new mom. Kagome the expectant mom. Imagine the conversations and bonding. Their kids should have grown up together :(.
And I am going to speculate, until the show proves me wrong, that Rin probably had her own hut and continued to live in the village after she married Sesshomaru, or at least after she got pregnant. The fact that the twins came to get Kaede at night makes me think that she was not in Kaede’s hut. Wouldn’t Kaede be at her own place at night?
Like Inuyasha and Kagome, I think Rin and Sesshomaru had their own place:
This looks different from Kaede’s hut. I don’t remember the little pathway on the left, but it’s impossible to tell if they are next to the gate here. Again, I’m choosing to believe they had their own place.
So, this makes me consider how much Sesshomaru really did settle down for Rin. He gave up his titles. He did not take her to a castle in the air. He let her stay among her friends and start a family WITH HIM but still within the village. He gave her the best of both worlds. He MARRIED her. How many times was she called his wife or bride? She’s no concubine or human piece on the side. He MARRIED her. Since he had not seen his mother in a while, I’m assuming he married her in her village, letting everyone know she wasn’t just some poor village girl taken advantage of by the powerful yokai. And it clearly wasn’t just a human marriage. All the big bad demons called Rin Sesshomaru’s wife. What honor, respect and love he showed to her, a mere human peasant (though of course we all know she is so much more than that, especially to Sesshomaru).
Was he like many lords and installed her in her own home, visiting and staying with her when he did not have business to attend to? Or did he tell Inuyasha that he better get used to having another demon hanging out in his forest by the village? Like...for all intents and purpose, Sesshomaru may have been living in the same village as Inuyasha, both intending to raise their families together. I love that. Please Yashahime, don’t dissuade me of this.
Poor Sesshomaru...sigh...I know it doesn’t look great for him right now...but that will change. The story is not going to make him the villain. It’s just not. But yes, poor Sesshomaru. He got to be happy about his babies being born for all of about two seconds before Zero interrupted him. Look at his little smile while he listens to his daughters’ first cries:
He had his worried face on, and then he smiled. He’s a dad in the waiting room. And the TONE of Jaken’s voice when he declared that they had been born. The WARMTH, the LOVE. Grandpa Jaken I love you so much.
This bitch, though, I don’t love at all:
Does she have some kind of magic yokai ultrasound that lets her know Sesshomaru had twin daughters and predicted Kagome would have a daughter? I look forward to seeing how this all unravels, but the fact that she showed up IMMEDIATELY after the girls were born is frightening, and maybe that was why Sesshomaru was at the outskirts of the village instead of closer by? Clearly, they were expecting some kind of attack, but dang...that happened fast.
Who is this lady anyway? I’ve seen it speculated that it may be Riku’s mother...and yes? I could see that. Did she have a hanyou she was not allowed to keep, poor Riku tossed overboard, and now she seeks revenge? Or was she rejected by Toga? Those tears of hers. Who was she crying for?
As many others noticed, this was a little odd:
What about Sesshomaru’s mother? He hasn’t seen her in years (such a bad son), and when they go to her castle, she’s missing. Was she just off doing flying dog stuff in the sky? Was she shopping for expensive jewelry and designer silks? I’m assuming she was not at Sesshomaru’s wedding. Or did Zero do something to her and Sesshomaru just wasn’t aware? I’m dying to see more of Sesshomaru’s mom. I want her to meet the twins and just throw out her arms all, “Come to Grandma! Let me buy you things and tell you stories about your dad.” But that remains to be seen.
Speaking of grandparents, can I say yet again that I love the honorary grandparents Kaede and Jaken, both trying to protect Rin in their own way. Kaede doesn’t hold back and calls Sesshomaru a fool (imagine what she was like when Sesshomaru was truly courting Rin) while Jaken comforts Rin when her babies are taken away. Again, the voice acting by Jaken’s VA is EVERYTHING in this episode. The LOVE he conveys. He’s perfect. I love him. I do.
And Rin knew the plan. She knew what was going to happen, but poor thing...I wish it could have been different for her. Look how much she loves and trusts Sesshomaru. That expression clearly says “Look what I made! Look what WE made!” I wish we could have seen them react to the babies together.
Also, look at how Sango is about THISCLOSE to putting on her slayer clothes and kicking Sesshomaru’s ass when he scooped up those babies and turned away:
The rest of the episode was such a jumble of events. Sesshomaru AND Jaken were with Inuyasha and Kagome when the comet arrived, which was after the twins’ birth but before Moroha’s. Even if they are hanyo, I don’t think Jaken and Sesshomaru would have left newborn babies alone. Rin was with them. Jaken even said he was bringing Rin to them (I assume after she recovered from birthing twins). Further supporting this would be the dream gazing spell business -- Like others have said, I’m pretty sure Rin sacrificed herself to keep her remaining daughter safe after Towa was pulled into the future.
Miscellaneous observations:
1. What the hell is going on with the comet? Every 500 years? So, the Higurashis might be in for a surprise pretty soon? Comet remnants are still in the sky though...
2. Why in the hell did Inuyasha bring his pregnant wife along for the comet destruction? Why exactly was she there? Unless he was too worried about her safety to leave her behind?
3. Riku is one shady fellow. HE found the compact? How did he know where to look? I know, I know. Don’t be hasty, but c’mon. We don’t have that many episodes left.
4. I like how they portrayed a pregnant Kagome. I like this little side view where you can see she’s chunky, but it’s not an exaggerated thing:
5. Sesshomaru and Rin had babies before Inuyasha and Kagome! On one level, it is very sweet. Of anyone, Rin and Sesshomaru are very aware of the fragility of life and how fleeting time is. Look at the names of their daughters. It makes sense that they wanted a family quickly. On the other hand, I cannot shake the idea that the brothers did get competitive with each other. I can imagine Inuyasha knocking up Kagome as quickly as possible after finding out that Rin was pregnant. Then Sesshomaru has TWO daughters to Inuyasha’s one. I am longing for some brotherly interactions. Let Inuyasha call him a hypocrite at least once. Let Sesshomaru gloat that he has TWO super awesome daughters. Let the daughters watch their ridiculous fathers fist fight while their mothers pour water on them and tell them to SIT. Please.
6. Besides emphasizing the fact that Rin is Sesshomaru’s WIFE, the episode also emphasized the fact that Rin actually birthed the girls. Rin is in labor, it will be soon, you did well, Rin, Rin resting in bed with her daugthers, her voice weak and tired, the tub used to wash the babies in the background. There was no magic switcheroo. The twins were not found beneath a tree. Sesshomaru did not sprout them from a forgotten limb. They came out of Rin’s body. She’s the mom. She made them with her husband. End of.
6. Finally, this is the best part of the episode.
You sure did, Rin.
Now where are A-Un and Shippo?

Could you do Chihiro, Mikan, Kaede, Ibuki, Aoi and Chiaki comforting a sad S/O who’s love language is cuddling?
Yes yes yes! I hope this is up to your standard my yume-nonnie!! ^^
I love all the characters a lot and just cuddling- mmm cuddle cuddle cuddles :>
Chihiro, Mikan, Kaede, Ibuki, Aoi, and Chiaki comforting their sad s/o who's love language is cuddling
【Chihiro Fujisaki】
• When you are happy, he's happy
• So when you are sad, he's sad
• He is just that type of person
• But that doesn't mean he won't do his best to comfort you!
• Chihiro will stay away from his computer and let you hold onto him (he likes being the big spoon but doesn't mind being the little spoon)
• You'll softly run your fingers through his hair while you talk about your worries to him
• He'll give you soft nose kisses while you do so, wanting to do everything he can to comfort you
• If you want some kind of advice, he will do he best to give you some
• If you don't then that's okay too, he just wants to be helpful in any way he can so if just listening is what you want then he'll do just that
• Rant and vent all you want cus this boy will listen to every single word you say
【Mikan Tsumiki】
• Omg the poor nurse and her ability to read people
• Once she was able to figure out that you were sad, a part of her instantly thought it was her fault
• But this nurse was trying to get better at not quickly assuming things, or immediately think she did something wrong
• Though, she couldn't figure out why you were so sad. But she can find out later, right now its more important to be there for you
• Cuddling with her can be like paradise, as she likes to hold onto you while tracing patterns on your skin
• She'll listen to your problems and if you want she'll even give advice to try and help you
• But if you just wanna vent then thats fine too
• Mikan is always ready to listen to any of your problems and do her best to help you, just like how you are always helping her
【Kaede Akamatsu】
• This girl is always so cheerful and positive
• So once she hears you, her s/o, is sad
• Oh she acts upon her instincts to make you happy again almost immediately
• She will hold you in her arms, giving you forehead and eskimo kisses
• If you want, she'll even hum a melody for you
• Will also dump so many compliments on you, reminding how amazing you are and many other sweet nothings
• She will give you all the time in the world if that's what you need to be happy again
• Sometimes she'll just lightly tap your skin as if she's playing the piano or just to some random melody
• Don't worry if it takes a while, or more than cuddles to be happy again because Kaede has the patience of a saint when it comes to you
• She'll do anything by all means to see you happy again
• Anything to see you laugh, to hear you talk about anything and everything, to see you give her that cute smile she just adores oh so much
• Until then, however, she'll keep doing her best to make the sadness go away
【Ibuki Mioda】
• Nope nope nope nope nope!!
• Being sad while with her is a big no-no!
• Ibuki is always moving from one place to the next, whether it be her physically or just her mind
• So she'll cuddle you anywhere at anytime!
• You are lucky to have someone who's love language is basically physical touch in general
• On the couch being sad? Cuddles! In bed sad? Once again, cuddles!
• It may take her a while to settle down, but once you two are cuddling she is just showering you with affections
• Giving you many peppered kisses all aroung your face, wiping away any tears that seem to appear, talking your ear off to distract you
• Like Kaede, she'll probably just lightly tap your skin to a beat or melody that comes to mind
• And this girl won't leave until you cheer up
• Ibuki cant leave her s/o alone til she knows you are all better!
• Even just feeling a little better is still good!
• But by the time the cuddle session is over, you forgot what you were even so sad about
【Aoi Asahina】
• You? Sad?
• Nope not on her watch
• And she knows exactly how to make you feel better ^^
• This girl got everything to go since she knows you need cuddles, as she herself is a huge cuddle bug
• Snacks (mostly donuts), movies, comfy blankets, pillows, plushies, literally everything to go
• She never wants to see you sad, never ever
• She'll hold you in her arms, enclosed in the soft blankets while being surrounded by pillows and plushies
• You can vent and just tell her about what made you so sad and she'll listen to you, giving you her full attention
• The comforting heat radiating off your swimmer girlfriend feels so nice that with each passing moment you can feel yourself settle down
• You two stay like this for a long while, not that you minded of course. It was nice and you felt much better than before
【Chiaki Nanami】
• A big hugger herself, which is pretty self explanatory
• But once she sees you sad, she is even more clingy than before
• Basically she'll have you hold onto her while she holds onto you tightly that you are trapped
• The are times where she's not focused on her game, as her focus is fully on you
• She'll wipe away your tears if you cry, listen to your worries- even if she doesn't have a lot of energy
• In order to make you happy again, once you are done venting and are a little more calmer, she will teach how to play a game you haven't played yet or even just play your favorite co-op games with you
• That, or she'll just have you take a nap with her
• Either one works for the both of you
• As long as you are happy or just feel a little better than before, she calls it mission accomplished
❀•°•═══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═══•°•❀
It's funny how this basically kinda turned into cuddling headcanons- not that I really mind either way
And it would be a dream cuddling any of these characters <3
Also had kinda hit a writers block, so it took a little while to finish this but I'm finally out and ready to write again ^^

Okay, can I requests all free! boys (maybe add for albert and kaede too) with s/o who is youtuber (they s/o is pretty famous though) and what kinds of video would they like to do together. I love your writing and tq for it and don't forget to stay safe🥰🥰
Hey lovely! 💕 i love this request so imma pump it out rn (hey Free! queens haven’t seen yall in a while, how we doing? 😎)
Im just gonna do for style 5 + Albert and Kaede for now but let me know if you want the rest 😉
This is actually something I’ve thought about a lot so lets get into it 🤩
Did i proof read this? No ❤️
Haru:
He’s that boyfriend who supports you in everything you’re doing while simultaneously having absolutely no clue what you’re doing
For example; vlogging absolutely boggled his mind at first
“Who are you talking to?”
“Oh I’m just vlogging, do you wanna say hi?”
“Vlogging?”
“Yes, say hi.”
“BuT tO wHo?”
After a while he gets used to it though
“You’re vlogging? Hey guys.”
You have to beg him to be in videos otherwise he won’t do it
When he does though it’s usually a good old “How well do we know each other challenge” and sometimes you can even manage to rope him into one of those “picking each others clothes” videos
He’ll make appearances in vlogs though
Actually quite likes holding the camera
He ends up seeing fans in public and when they come up to him he’s like “👁👄👁 how do you know who i am?” But after the initial shock he’s really nice to them
Will facetime you so they can say hi
Absolutely 100% gains a fanbase of his own
All the comments under your videos with him are the funniest things ever with some gems such as:
“Haru really said 😐(😍🥰)😐”
“POV: ur the camera seeing Haru actually smiling ❤️👄❤️”
“#saveharu”
Makoto:
Supportive king!!!
Hands down your number one fan
He’s always offering to help you with your videos
Is always down with being in videos with you
His favourite thing is making videos like story times and doing gaming videos with you
Which are usually pretty chaotic and funny
The gaming videos provide your subs with a lot of cute y/n-makoto content
“Babe I suck at this”
“No you don’t, you’re the best” he says it really quietly while smashing buttons and taking his game very seriously
Vlogs are the best too, he talks to the camera like he’s on a FaceTime
“Oh! Hey guys, how are you all doing? I hope you’re doing good.”
Your fans love him
You’ve earned the “mom and dad” title
Since they love him so much you often let him take over daily vlogs
“Hey guys. Y/n isn’t feeling great today so you’re stuck with me!”
The comment section:
“Hi dad 🥺😭”
“Imagine having a boyfriend who loves u enough to literally do your job for you when you’re sick 😭😭😭😭”
“Whose gonna tell y/n that her boyfriend contemplated bringing home like 5 different cats 😳”
Everyone wants you to give him an e-boy transformation
You’re still trying to convince him
Rei:
I think he’d really enjoy doing videos with you
Not camera shy at all
The man has a lot to say
His partner has a beautiful online presence and he’s super proud of you!
He’d love making videos that have a little bit of competitiveness to them
Loves a challenge
Playing boyfriend tags with him is stressful af because he has the date of everything you’ve ever done memorised
Absolutely BODIES the swapping clothes for a day videos
He’s a really good sport and your fans really like him
“Rei looks better in a skirt than I do, you guys...”
“I simply can’t help my calf muscles, my love.”
Not great with vlogging
The comments you get:
“Rei when the vlog camera comes out in the mall 🙈 i do not see🙈”
“I wanna see them wear matching outfits 👀”
“Y/n please ask Rei to start up a studying channel 😭”
You actually rope him into making a study tips video with you
To be fair he does most of the talking and you just listen and look at him like 🤩🥰
He loves interacting with fans
He’s always liking and commenting on fan edits of you on Instagram
Nagisa:
Jenna and Julien. Jenna and Julien. Jenna and Julien. Jenna and Julien.
Most chaotic baby on camera
Craft! Videos!
Also chaotic challenges
King of gaming videos
He also is willing to let you put make up on him
“Nagisa, I’m begging you, please sit still.”
Absolutely does not sit still but gives you a lil kiss
He’s so sweet on and off camera
Most of your vlog content is just him doing golden retriever boy stuff
Your audience adore him
Videos come up in your suggestions and they’re all like, “Nagisa being chaotic for ten minutes straight”, “Y/n trying to get Nagisa to pay attention for 4 minutes.”
He gets so excited when your doing videos together, “Yeah guys, this is actually my channel now. I’m taking it over.”
“No he isn’t.”
“Yes I am. Sorry babe but you’re fired.”
Mr. Steal your channel
Rin:
😍😍😍 am i right?
First of all; he’s such a heart throb
Your fans are obsessed with him
He always wants you to work out with him so you decide to get some content out of it
Video gems like “Eating like my olympian Boyfriend for a week”
“RinRin, how the fuck are you even still alive?”
“It’s a salad, Y/n, not a bowl of air.”
“Who the fuck orders a salad at a restaurant, Rin?”
“I’m so sorry that you guys have to hear this profanity.” He says to the camera as if he doesn’t swear every five seconds
Those are usually the types of videos you guys make together
The comments you guys get when he’s feeling lovey in a video
“Oh to be Y/n 😓”
“Alexa, play sweater weather by the neighbourhood”
“The way he looks at her. Im in pain.”
“If they ever break up, i want you to put me down.”
Vlogging at the movies is hilarious because 99% of the time when you come out he’s crying
“Guys please stop telling Rin to take his shirt off on camera, he literally can’t say no and it’s distracting.”
Rin swimming content is highly requested
And what can you say? You give the people what they want 😌✨
Albert:
He’s into it
Once the camera comes on, this man becomes a comedic legend
“Hey guys, today we’re uh, doing something. I’m gonna be honest I don’t know, I didn’t ask. My girlfriend pulls out the camera and I do what I’m told.”
“We’re going to give you different aesthetics.”
He’s like 🤗 “oh okay go for it”
Very complient
He’s down for absolutely anything
“Content is content baby”
Sometimes he just comes into your video room and hijacks your videos
“Thought I’d pop in and say hi”
And by pop in and say hi he actually means sit beside you and look at the camera like he’s on The Office
Oh my god do the fans love this man
He trolls them
He sees comments like, “Y/n is so cute! 😍” and he’s like, “That’s why she has a boyfriend.”
They love him though and if he sees them out in public he’s super sweet
Kaede:
(Im ngl this dude kinda scares me)
Probably has to be coaxed into making videos with you
I get the impression that this man is cocky on camera
Did someone say ✨pda✨
“K, I’m making a video”
“So?”
Doesn’t really interact with fans
Or pay too much attention when he’s actually filming with you
He doesn’t really care but he does it because it makes you happy
He’s more responsive when it comes to vlogs
“I’ve convinced y/n to come to the pool with me, she doesn’t swim but she looks hot in a swimsuit. Not as good as I do, but still.”
You have to cut a lot of the stuff he says out of videos
He makes so many innuendos
✨comments✨:
“It’s the way Kaede doesn’t care about literally anything for me 🙈”
“Someone please check on Y/n, she’s TIRED 😩😓.”

dating - protagonist edition
a/n- spoilers!!! cursing in shuichi’s part (miu)
——— makoto naegi
i don’t even know how to say this
he would be a perfect boyfriend
well - not technically perfect but you get what i’m saying.
he would always be there for you
he would alway try to get anything you wanted or needed.
and makoto would be pretty bummed if he couldn’t.
i feel like he would prefer to have little pda in the relationship
probably only hand holding, hugging and maybe kisses on the cheek.
for cuddling he’d like to be the little spoon, but feels like he should be the big spoon.
but you can just reassure him that it’s okay to be held :)
unless you want to be held you guys can switch.
or if you don’t want to be touched when you sleep he can work with that too.
if you two are dating during the killing game he would be protective over you.
if anyone try to make accusations that you were the blackened he wasn’t going to allow that.
“where were you s/o? i don’t recall seeing you anywhere during the time of the murder.” - byakuya
“oh um they were in my dorm, with me” - makoto
“the adults we’re talking naegi.” -byakuya
he doesn’t even mind lying for you
hell, if he could get executed for you to survive he would in a heartbeat.
also you would at least have to get along with kyoko and aoi
those are his close friends and if you guys don’t get along. that could be a dealbreaker.
also makoto would hate fighting with you
and would try to avoid it at all costs.
unless you talk bad about his friends
or if during the killing game, you start to give into despair
or support the game
but overall he would be a great boyfriend
and would do anything, even dying, for you
——— hajime hinata
ah, the reserve course student.
if you’re an ultimate he’s very confused on why you’d want to hang out with him.
or even date him.
but after some time of thinking he really loves being with you.
but if you’re not an ultimate he feels like he could relate to you more.
unless you don’t go to hope’s peak academy
if you two happen to get together during the killing game, he would be extremely protective over you.
especially during the class trials
if there’s even a slim piece of evidence that points towards you he would deny it
until the evidence is irrefutable
“s/o wasn’t these yours? there is no doubt, s/o is the blackened.” - peko
“that doesn’t prove anything, it just says she was in that room. like all of us were.” - hajime
he would definitely prefer to be the big spoon while cuddling
hajime is also known to be pretty blunt so he isn’t afraid to call you out on your lying
unless it for a good cause of the class trial.
but if you’re talking bad about yourself
his isn’t allowing that
“don’t talk about yourself like that s/o. you’re amazing and i love everything about you.”
hajime would probably only trust you to investigate with him.
or he would ask you to guard the bodies so no one can tamper with the evidence
you two would stay in each other’s cottages
he claims it’s to keep to both safe but in reality it also because he likes being around you.
hajime wouldn’t mind pda in my opinion
especially if you’re a ultimate and he’s in the reserve course
it show that your happy to be with him
and he’s happy to be with you too :)
——— kaede akamastu
well technically she’s not a protagonist
because of well- chapter one.
but let’s just forget that
kaede would be an amazing girlfriend
she would always support you in be in your corner
if you shy and withdrawn she’ll definitely tries to help you be more social
whether that’s a good or bad thing is up to you
but she just wants what’s best for you to help you get out of your shell.
if you two are dating during the killing game she would like it if you slept in her room
or her in yours
it’s a way to protect each other
shuichi is definitely jealous
but nevertheless you and shuichi get along
you two would spend time with each other in your ultimate labs
she would also tell you about how shuichi thinks the mastermind is one of the students
you would help the two find out who the mastermind is
brushing past the fact she died from it
you would help her during class trials but your not a detective like someone
kaede would also hate fighting with you
and she would only back down if she thought it was a pointless fight.
but if you were deliberately holding up the trial or talking about shuichi in a bad way
she would be very angry with you
but if you can give her a valid enough reason she’ll be fine again
or else she just need some time to herself.
however she loves playing piano for you
it’s her favorite past time besides cuddling
on the topic of cuddling, i feel like she would like to face each other and just hold you in her arms
or her in yours
but i think that she would be a good girlfriend and would only want what’s best for you.

oh boy
it would take him some time to get comfortable in you relationship
like he wouldn’t have gotten into a relationship with you if he wasn’t close with you
but this was different than a platonic relationship
he’s shy with affection it he’s okay with minimal pda
sometimes if you really beg he might give in to giving you an actual kiss on the lips
but then he has to deal with hearing his friends
“that’s my sidekick! “ - kaito
“you guys are definitely fucking, are they good in bed?” - miu
“i’m really proud of you shuichi!” - kaede
with cuddling i feel like he would prefer to be the little spoon at first
like when he would still use his cap to avoid people’s gaze
but after gaining some confidence due to his friends he would be more open to being the bigger spoon.
also it would be almost impossible to hide things from him
he’s the ultimate detective, even if he doesn’t want to admit it.
so his deduction skill are amazing and if you’re feeling down he’ll do his best to help you
if it’s during the killing game, he would ask if you want to train with him, kaito, and maki.
also as seen in the game, he doesn’t have a problem lying during the trials for someone he cares about.
especially if he knows your innocent.
also i don’t think he’d get that jealous
mostly insecure
like he loves being with you and doesn’t want to loose you to anyone
but he does think you could do better :,(
he won’t ever admit to you though
he doesn’t want you to see him like that.
also he doesn’t mind if you take his hat when it’s the two of you
if you do it in public he might be annoyed
but you two wouldn’t really fight
if he’s mad at you he would keep it to himself until he felt better
unless you force his hand and kept jabbing at him
but in all honesty, he really really cares about you
and would do anything in his capability to make you happy.
