Blind before You

Chapter 1: Rocks Over roses

In which: Oni are know to be arrogant and bothersome, everything annoying or bad.. so why is it you’re so fond of this one?

Warnings: No proof-readers it's just me (We die like real men /j). Internalised (?) racism against Itto for being an Oni (re-occurring throughout series), near-poverty mentions?, self indulgent, let me know if u see anything else :3 !!

Pairing: Arataki Itto x reader (Genshin Impact)

2,291 words - Read on AO3 here

Arataki Itto is a lot of things. Rowdy- yes, childish- yes, cute- maybe.. but dangerous? Dangerous was something Itto would never be- couldn't be! Despite what everyone expects from him, as an oni, the most Itto had seriously hurt in his life was a fly!-- and maybe a slime or two.. but that isn't the point.

My best friend isn't dangerous. But even so, bailing him out of jail isn't uncommon.

Kuki, the Arataki gang's honorary leader, sighs beside me. Her hand rests on her hip and her head hangs, similar to mine a moment ago. The door of the Tenryou Commission's holding cell screeches open, dragging across the floor. That wouldn't help the headache I'm sure Shinobu was sporting. I glance at her, eyebrows bowed in a 'sorry' expression when she meets my gaze. Her expression is similar to that of a dissapointed, tired mother- which she may as well be considering the juggling we have to do to keep the gang from causing any major trouble.

A cough. We look up and there in front of us- The Arataki ‘gang’.

She breaks into a lecture immediately, one I tuned out because- it wasn't for me- and also that a Kuki Shinobu lecture is as much of a mood killer as an allergic attack. "How could you think that was a good idea?!" and "You still owe me for the last bail!" being thrown around at every gang member- no one was safe.

"C'mon!! It was a great prank!!- Kujou Tengu just takes everything way too seriously, right numero two-o?!"

No one. Not even me.

I toss a look over my shoulder as a response to the risible nick-name, barely suppressing a smile at the silliness. "You know just as much as I do trying to paint The Shogun's statue red was an awful idea." I remark, looking back in front of me, "But that doesn't mean we can't stop for snacks on the way back." I grin nervously at the unimpressed face Kuki makes at me.

Archons know we have all of a dime to spare-- but when everyone has a dime it makes things a lot easier. The whole gang chipped in what little pocket lint we had to nab a few snacks on the way home.

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

A sleepover- we had decided. After working our way through all the food we had bought and the dinner Granny Oni had so graciously prepared for our group, telling every story of the day at least twice, a few rounds of TCG and whatever else, it had gotten dark out. Everyone was to unbothered to leave and so- with permission from Granny Oni we settled down on her living room floor.

The tatami mat was rough, not quite scratchy, but definitely run down from all the years it had been there. I press my legs down into it in a stretch. They're covered in goosebumps and slightly paler than normal, curse these cold Inazuman nights! I shiver.

Turning over, I rest my head on Itto's shoulder, a regular occurrence. His bare skin is warm. I tangle my fingers in between his before deeming him cozy enough for me to stay like that- further lacing my limbs into him as my fingers tingle with warmth. His chest rises and falls with a steady volume- annoying- but not enough to deter me from a cozy embrace. I adjust my head to look at him, blinking lazily through the dark at his wide open eyes. Archon’s, Itto, you look like a damn demon when you sleep.

I sigh. Angling my head back down when my lip pulls between my teeth. I guess that makes sense though- he is a demon, at the end of the day. I shake my head.

Who cares what he is? He’s Itto, and he’s the nicest person I’ve met, human or otherwise. With that, my eyes shut on the dark room.

Laying in a circle of my close friends, people I'd nearly call family, after laughing our asses of while sharing a meal.. What better way is there to spend your life? It might not be perfect, but damn did it feel close.

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

The morning after was easy, comfortable. The clatter of chopsticks was the only sound other than mindless chatter. The grass tickled my legs, as we point out shapes in the clouds. Granni Oni, the ever open-hearted woman she is, had made us breakfast as well. She sat a little ways behind us, working away on her next craft project. I smile back at her, the saint she is for dealing with our lot.

“We’re all going to the beetle battle tournament down in Ritou on Friday, right?” Genta asks, already excited for our next hangout before this one has even ended.

I can visibly see Itto vibrating at the mention, “Of course! You all better be there to watch me take-the-title as the number one beetle brawler in all of Inazuma!” He cackles, rocking back and forth with the strength of his excitement. “And you’ll be my number two!”

I freeze, eyes flickering over to him in a squint.

“Why.. do I have to be there? I don’t even play..”

He gasps, offended as if you had torn down a family heirloom and then insulted his hair. “I need my side-kick there for support! How am I gonna’ win without anyone cheering me onn” he whined. It’s my turn to gasp now. “Your side-kick?! Please! If anything you’re my sidekick, Itto.” I grin at him.

I shove his shoulder as I stand up. Pushing him back despite the little force behind it and his towering build. I walk away from the group, waving to Granny Oni as I go.

“I’ll see you there!”

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

Unfortunately I don't see any of the gang again until much later in the week, sure I had seen some of them around the place- running odd jobs for some quick and desperately needed mora, but I hadn’t actually talked to any of them, disappointingly.

Without my group, every usual pressure of life feels that much heavier each time it piles atop another one. Normally itto would crack some stupid joke and challenges me to a TCG match whenever things started getting too much.. but he isn't here.

The sun warms the back of my neck. It's a nice distraction from the smaller issues, or it would be if not for my current situation. The sun isn't unwelcome- of course not! The man in front of me however.. I can't say the same for.

"Sorry, I'm not interested.."

He's pushy, to say the least. Smothering. His hair's ratty, sweats bad, his breath stinks.

I shuffle backward, slow and steady, one unnoticeable step back at a time. maybe if I'm lucky he'll be so blinded by his ego he doesn't notice..

"Heyy.. what's wrong? don't get shy now, gorgeous." He steps in closer. A hand on my hip- ew.

I glance around for an exit out of this greatly uncomfortable situation, something, anything. I catch sight of bright red and purple, a scraggly head of white hair and those familiar horns.. "Itto!" I call out to him with a wave, almost reaching out to him as he sprints over with all the excitement of a child in a candy store.

"There ya' are, Sunshine!! I was searching all over the place for ya'!" He beams at me- and even if his new nickname is ironic with the way he's acting, i ignore it- my saviour. Just as I'm about to respond I feel a squeeze, clammy, unsettling -- my hip.

"You don't need your pet to come save you, doll."

A rough yet airy sound immerges from itto's throat, a sigh, but if I didn't know any better I'd say it was a growl. I peek up at him, his comically large brows are pinched between his eyes. At this moment Arataki Itto's glare is threatening enough to challenge the Shogun herself.. His fangs are bared in a snarl, monstrous… and safe. I replica Itto and look forwards to the man as well. His shrill voice demands attention, "Oh come on!" he yells.

"You're really gonna' waste a pretty face like yours on a beast like him?"

I feel the hair on top of my hair bristle when the 'beast' huffs out a groan. "I already told you I'm not interested." My voice is assertive, almost baleful, it had to be. "You heard her! Back off! -before I make ya'!" Itto growled. Archons- he sounded just about ready to bite his head off.

Regardless of whether I thought the literal growl was too much or not, It got the job done. Sent the man scattering away from us. Good.

There's a pause, not awkward.. just needed.. to calm down. That could've escalated much further, not that that'd be good- It's just surprising that it didn't, if the tone Itto was using was anything to base off. I lean back into him in relief. i don't think I'd have been able for it to escalated.

It's only now I realise the hand placed on my hip. Unlike the touch that had been there before, this was comforting. Itto's presence seemed to wash off the phantom touches left behind by the man. "Are you alright?" He askes, strangely serious for his usual. "Yeah," I glance up at him, "Thanks, Itto." I smile and he returns the act, his signature grin plastered over his face and tearing his cheeks apart.

"Oh!- Wait! waitwaitwait!! I've got this like- crazy awesome thing for you! Ahah! You're gonna' be totally blown away!"

"Oh? and what could that be?"

I watch him back away from me slightly, taking a few small stutter-y steps back as he scrambles. He pats himself down from head to toe, checks every pocket and crevice, tucked into his belt or the straps of his shirt, heck he even rummages around in his hair looking for whatever it is he wanted me to see. He finally finds the mystery object hidden away in the collar attached to his vision. His eyes light when he finds it.

Adorable.

It's clear that this item meant a lot to him, or it was important that he give it to me based off of his expression alone. He looks so cheery it wouldn't catch me by surprise if he was mistaken for an oversized puppy.

He takes your hand and drops it into your palm. It's smooth. Some bumps and dents here and there but for the most part well refined. It's warm on one side, likely from being snug against him for archons knows how long it took him to find you, but the other side is cool and refreshing.

Itto finally removes his hand from mine, "Now I know how awesome it is!!- And right after saving you?! Am I amazing or am I amazing?" The oni cackles joyously. He puffs out his chest so much so that if he did any further he might just pop. I stifle a giggle. I know oni are supposed to be prideful but even then.. I've never seen Itto this cocky. I glance at what's laying in my palm to see-

"You.. got me a pebble?"

"you're welco- Oi!" He shrinks down, deflated like a balloon popped over his giant red horns. He looks at me as if I've betrayed him, like a hurt animal left out in the rain. "It's not just a pebble! Look at it! It took me ages to find one that was good enough!"

Good enough for what?

A closer look made me realise the unique shape of the stone. My eyebrows raise, a light stretch from being furrowed beforehand, when I realise it's shaped as a heart. "Thanks, numero uno." I tease him with his own ridiculous nickname. Taste of his own medicine.

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

It wasn't until later that evening I realised the significance of Itto's gift. Smoke curled up from the campfire, forgotten lavender melons, now burnt over the searing flame. "What a waste.." Kuki mutters as she settles down in the grass beside me. I hum in response.

The rest of the Gang have ran down the hill you're situated on, you can just about make out their figures as they race around, visible only due to the fireflies buzzing around. It's beautiful, almost serene if not for the yelling of a certain oni and his companions. I hold said oni's gift from earlier in my palm. I twirl it around between my fingers.

"He actually gave it to you huh?" Shinobu hums in amusement.

"Yeah.." I look at her confused. What of it? "Were you there when he found it?" I ask.

"No, I was there when he started looking though. I left about an hour into his search- came back at least 3 hours later and he still hadn't given up on finding one."

Huh..

I turn the gift around between my fingers again in a loop, once, twice, over and over again. That idiot.. He really spent his whole day trying to get me a cute rock.. I can't help but grin. My cheeks stretch with the smile and- have they always felt so hot?

She looks at me and even behind her mask i can tell she's smirking at me.

"Thanks, 'cookie' " I grin at her, knowing the silly nick-name always tore her between annoying and endearing- when any of us used it. Suddenly a particularly painful screech is heard below us- so much for serene..

We sigh in unison, but as we descend the hill the thoughts of the gift stay in my mind. What idiot spends his whole day looking for a heart-shaped stone?

Cutely posts Itto and Ari’s voice lines for eachother….

About: 🪲Arataki Itto🎤😈

“That goober I can’t- he drives me crazy sometimes… buttt- I love going along with his shenanigans hehe��� Its fun and spices up life! I’m probably laughing my guts out each day. I honestly really appreciate it, but I’ll end up dipping last second if things get too hectic tho. I’ll even warn him about it! But, you know itto he can be PRETTY stubborn at times. Other than that he’s just a really sweet guy always understanding towards me. Even with all his flaws his hearts in the right place. and that’s what’s important! But I swear… Sometimes he won’t relent with the teasing, scaring me half to death, and appearing in my house suddenly and asking for favors… like NO. Itto I’m NOT drawing another 50+ posters for the same event we had a week ago. My hands cramping and I’m tired of drawing Onikabuto. 😭”

About: 🪷Arisu Kagami☁️🤭

“GIGGLES??? Cute nickname right? I came up with it myself. 💪 So, you’ve finally met her eh? Just wait until she warms up. Whole other person! I’ll tell yah when we first met I thought she was scared of me like the other few people of inazuma (few??? Really now…) but that’s until we had an Onikabuto Battle for the first time! Some stuff happened yad yad… and then BAAM!!! Out of know where pops out Hooved feet, a Tail and most importantly… A HORN! just like both of mine, cute but a little small… WAIT, I- nothing bad about it being SMALL!!! RAHH- That’s not what I meant! When I say small I mean fitting for someone like her personality! … That didn’t sound any better did it? please don’t tell her! she’ll definitely not let me have any more of her snacks for the rest of the week. 😭🙏”

Bonus…

[lumicloud]

CUTE

(I've always wanted to revisit this.) The idea is that old man Itto reflects on his youth with Ayato. Even back then, Itto subconsciously knew how much their time together meant to Ayato, allowing him to embrace his inner child. Seeing Ayato free and joyful was worth every loss.

Hoping this continues 😭❤️

Fool me Once (Part 1) Arataki Itto x fem!reader [Angst to Comfort]

Summary: In a change of heart, you offer Arataki Itto a job carrying boxes of ingredients for your father’s ramen shop. He really seems to need the mora anyway. Itto has no bad intentions, but he tends to forget that he has a job to do now, getting carried away by the kids and sometimes even his competitions with Yoimiya. Still, you persist and trust that he can do his job properly, until it all goes wrong when a band of ronin attack you while you’re alone with the shipments waiting for Itto to show up.

Warning: not proofread and I still don’t know where I’m going with this, does it sound interesting though? might have spoilers for the Itto story quest

“GET BACK HERE!”

“PUT THOSE BEANS AWAY! WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS CALMLY!”

Just a normal day at the ramen shop, the passer-bys think. Built near the entrance of Inazuma City, it was quite a quaint and quiet shop by the roadside. It didn’t attract as much attention as the shops in the center of the city, the entrance was a little more slow despite it being the place that people came in from. 

Well…it was slow, for the most part.

Random thought popped into my head today…

Imagine Y/N one day showed Sun DHMIS it would utterly horrify him and he’d never let them pick a show for a least a month or longer after that. Oh and Moon would definitely scold them but tell Y/N that he thought Suns reaction was funny and to keep it a secret between the two of them. so they got off the hook from Moon.

p.s. Sun forced Y/N during there movie nights that they could only watch Disney Movies as punishment. (Idk if he could come up with a better one to begin with 😭)

Just gonna yoink this for later 😳

✨ 👠 🌈 FNAF Wizard of Oz AU 🌈 👠 ✨

The Wicked promos have reignited my deep, deep love for Oz-ian lore, so naturally I had to combine that with my new love of FNAF…specifically our favorite beloved gangly-limbed sunny-dispositioned celestial robot with the sweet and goofy Scarecrow 💖

Aside from Sun and Moon as the Scarecrow, there is Monty the Tin-Woodsman-Gator, Freddy the Cowardly Bear, Chica the Good Witch of the North, Roxanne the Wicked Witch of the West, William Afton as the Wonderful Wizard, and into the deeper Oz lore we have Cassie as Princess Ozma of Oz
