I really enjoy your Brittle Sea Star AU (love the idea of post canon Akechi interacting with Shinji...) so I'd love to see any doodles based on that AU!! Or even just a few hcs/things you'd like to share I love hearing about it ☺️

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy this AU!

SEES has been on Shinji's ass for years to hire a part-timer because of his health, and Goro's the best he's got. After witnessing Fuuka's development from disaster to decent, he's determined to help Goro get there haha

I have some more posts over here if you're curious about random headcanons, shitposts, and thoughts!

🍜 Kotone Shiomi x Shinjiro Aragaki 🍜 Beef Ramen

Kotone looked up and down the kitchen shelves and in the fridge. There was plenty to choose from, but nothing that particularly sparked her interest. And if something did catch her eye, it took a “too much effort” to prepare.

Other than the small meals she felt obligated to have at school, Kotone had been neglecting to eat properly. Often, she was absent from the S.E.E.S. dinner table, claiming that she simply held no interest in food that day. But she had to have something.

Instant cup ramen it is. Though boiling the water felt like a bit too much effort, it was the bare minimum she could do that wasn’t straight up eating the noodles hard and raw. No flavors particularly stood out to her as appetizing, though. Can’t go wrong with the basics, so chicken flavor it is.

She got a cup down and sighed at it. Even peeling the lid off felt like an awful lot of work. If it were not made of styrofoam, she would gladly microwave it, but she did not want all of S.E.E.S. to suffer the same fate as her parents did.

A little dramatic for a cup of noodles. They’d probably be fine anyways, should she stick it in the microwave for a minute. Regardless, the water wasn’t going to boil itself.

She began to fill a kettle with water, until she saw Shinjiro walk into the kitchen out of the corner of her eye.

"Kinda odd to see you in here" he remarked.

"I’m making myself something, for once," Kotone said, setting the half full kettle of tap water aside on the counter.

"Cup ramen. After all those times you skipped dinner?"

"It’s something at least."

"Thats practically nothin’ with how little you’ve been eatin’. Step aside, let me make you some real food," Shinjiro said.

Kotone stepped out of the way as Shinjiro took over the counter space. He took the kettle of warm water and dumped it down the sink, then he put the still unopened cup of noodles back onto the shelf.

"You gotta eat something at least half decent," Shinjiro said, grabbing his apron and tying it on. "And if you won’t make it, I will."

"Won’t the others jump you for cooking?"

"They’re gonna have to suck it up because I got more important things to worry about."

Kotone stood outside the kitchen and out of the way as she watched Shinjiro begin to gather the ingredients. She peeked in around the corner and watched as Shinjiro worked with admirable speed. He grabbed some considerably thick ramen noodles, eggs, beef, and some spices she didn’t catch the name of.

"Chicken won’t do you much good," Shinjiro remarked. "You need something hearty to get you back on your feet."

"Do you want me to help? I feel kinda bad that you’re doing this for me," Kotone offered.

Shinjiro shook his head. "Nah. Go wait at the table. I know what I’m doing."

Kotone listened to Shinjiro and went to sit at the table. She watched as he turned on the skillet and laid out hefty slabs of beef to roast, then filled a pot with water to begin cooking the noodles. The heavenly aroma alone was enough to spark an appetite in her once again, and apparently Koromaru felt the same, as he got up from the floor to investigate the source of the irresistible scent himself.

No dogs allowed in the kitchen was a general rule, that is, only when someone who cared to enforce it was around. Shinjiro was not one of said people. Kotone saw Koromaru waltz right into the kitchen and sit down, his wagging tail peering out from around the wall

"Arf!"

Shinjiro looked down as he was preparing the beef. She couldn’t see completely, but she knew Koromaru was looking at him with the same big-eyed wide-mouthed smile that was a one hit knockout to his heart. This time, Shinjiro had no reason to hide it. It wasn’t a big secret that he was rather fond of Koromaru like he was his own son, but he did his best to keep this fact hidden from the rest of S.E.E.S., with minimal success. Kotone knew this all too well, in fact, she had caught him early on, but he felt as if he had absolutely no reason to hide his love of animals from the woman he planned to spend the rest of his life.

"You want some too, Koro-chan?" Shinjiro asked him.

"Arf arf!"

"Here. Since you’re sitting like such a good little lad," Shinjiro said.

He grabbed a piece of beef that was roasting alone in the corner of the pan and handed it to Koromaru. It seemed to be a piece that he had especially set aside for him ahead of time. Kotone wouldn’t be the least bit surprised one bit if that were the case. Koromaru happily trotted out of the kitchen, slice of beef in his mouth. He looked up at Kotone for a brief moment as if he were saying, "you’re one lucky girl," in which she nodded her head acknowledging his silent words. Then, he sat down at his dog food bowl to happily chew away at his piece of beef in peace.

Kotone watched Koromaru with a smile, until Shinjiro sat down next to her with two rather large bowls of beef ramen. She looked down at the bowl that was slid in front of her. Immaculate work by Shinjiro as always. If she thought any lower of herself, she would’ve shoved her face right into the bowl and dug in like a barn animal.

"Eat up. It’s good for you," Shinjiro said.

Kotone picked up the chopsticks and carefully ate a small bite of ramen on the off chance that her body would reject its first real helping of food. The incredible flavoring hit her like a semi-truck, and it felt as if one hundred bites of Shinjiro’s cooking would be nowhere near enough to satisfy revitalized appetite. Unable to contain herself, she began eating them at a rate to rival Shinjiro. The uncontrollable smile on her face only made him smile in return.

"It’s nice to see you lookin’ in better spirits already," Shinjiro said. "Told ya a healthy meal works wonders."

Kotone, unable to speak with a mouth full of beef and noodles, gave Shinjiro a big smile and a thumbs up of approval.

"If you ever feel that shitty again, don’t hesitate to tell me. Ill whip us up somethin’."

Kotone took a breath in between bites. "Isn’t that a lot of work for you?"

"It isn’t a chore if I enjoy doing it. Besides, it’s the least I could do as thanks."

"Thanks for what?"

"Yknow, for being our leader, and everything."

"It’s no big deal."

"...And for being there for me and all that shit. Dammit, you know what I mean. I ain’t good with this crap."

Kotone ruffled Shinjiro's hair. "Of course I know what you mean, Shinji. I’m happy myself, as you’ve been opening up to me a lot more lately.”

"I haven’t the slightest clue what you mean," he said, casually looking away while blushing.

"Arf arf!" Koromaru interjected.

"Oh, but Koro certainly knows," Kotone said.

"Dammit, girl, just finish eating," Shinjiro said, unable to force away the smile on his face.

After hearing Shinji from Bleach’s theme in TYBW I immediately thought of Shinji from Persona 3 and made this.
