#KISUMI PLEASE COMFORT ME

[swtstrwbrris]

𓆩♡𓆪 when you're ready ; nanase haruka 𓆩♡𓆪

request: hello! I hope you're doing good!! I'm not sure if I'm doing this right ... I love your work and writing style and I wanna request a soft Haruka nanase fluff, please? where the reader takes care of him when he's sick and he realises that tbh he's really loved and cared for, or something along the lines of that.

summary: neither you or haru were someone who expressed much through words, so the thought that you were dating each other amazed you at times. Regardless, you found other ways to express you admiration for him, even if he struggled to return the feelings. It finally hit him how much love you've been showering him and he wanted to let you know, just how much he was thankful of being loved by someone like you.

pairing: time skip!haruka nanase x female!reader

genre: established relationship, fluff

warning: reader shows motherly figure

a/n: I was listening to When you're ready by Shawn Mendes and suddenly got inspired to write something similar. From all the dramas and anime I've seen, the male is almost always the one expressing their devotion and willingness to wait for the female to express or return their feelings, but what if, the roles are switched?

"So you're telling me," You opened your door, being greeted by the Kisumi with his cheerful, innocents smile. "you got into a snow fight?" Crossing you arms, you could see Haru hiding behind Kisumi's figure, avoiding your angered eyes.

"It was a just a friendly snowball fight to bring back out childhood days." The bright male shrugged his shoulders, not finding a problem.

You leaned at the door frame. "But I asked Haru to help me get some vegetables for dinner?"

"Oh... He didn't mention anything about that when I asked him." You mentally face palmed. Some times you wonder if you're dealing with a child or young adult when it comes to Kisumi. "He told me he's finding the tree of doom." You froze, trying to make sense of what the salmon pink haired just said. Before you could question him further, he turned around to face Haru, where your eyes almost jumped out of its sockets. He was standing there, shirtless.

"So let me explain what happened." Kisumi read your expression but before he was able to start. You grabbed Haru's arm, pulling him back instead. "Or Haru could do the explaining." You closed the door on Kisumi, yelling a goodbye and thanks as you continued to dragged your nearly frozen lover to the bathroom, running the warm bathwater. His hand was freezing but he remained quiet. He took in your figure, swishing your hand in the water, trying to get the right temperature. You were cooking dinner and wanted to add some vegetables and include some fiber but when you opened his fridge, it there was only fish, canned fish, frozen fish or, well, more fish. You kindly asked if Haru could quickly run to the store to grab some broccoli, which he hesitated at first but gave in, knowing that you've been trying to get him to consume more veggies for his health.

You were more open and vocal compared to Haru which was surprising when he accepted your feeling upon your confession. You were someone that wasn't afraid to speak up, to say what's on your mind and in particular, to let Haru know how much you loved him. Haru was someone who was the complete opposite of you but you didn't mind that from him. You understood his quiet and stoic nature yet regardless, you found yourself falling head over heads for how passionate about his goal and his drive for success. You wanted to do nothing more but to support him and let him know what no matter what happens, you'll always be by his side. Though deep down inside, sometimes you wished that Haru would be more expression or affective but you pushed away that selfish desire, trying to cherish what you have now, and letting Haru decide when he's ready to step out of his comfort zone.

Haru secretly admired your strong mentality and how you carried yourself. You never failed to impress him with the things you do and how determined you are when you have your mind set on things or towards the people you truly cherish and love. Haru had to admit, he was sometimes jealous of you. Jealous of how you can say whatever is on your mind and to his surprised, he sometimes wondered, why did you choose to date him, of all people? But he doesn't dare to ask. Haru was beyond thankful to have you in his life. You never pushed him out his limits or made him change who his is. You’ve always been supporting him, encouraging him to do the best he can be, and no matter what happens, he was always number one in your heart. He tries very hard to be more expressive towards you but unfortunately, all the times he's been practicing in the mirror just isn't enough for him to express it in person as he always end up backing our last minute. You have reminded him multiple times, assuring him that there wasn't any need to push himself to do the things he weren't comfortable with and he wouldn't be more in love with how understanding you are however, it didn't feel right. It didn't feel right that you were always the one giving, and he was only receiving. It didn't feel right that it almost felt one-sided and it most definitely didn't feel right that if Haru didn't say what he's been wanting to say for so long, one day, you might just slip off his fingers.

"Here, the water is at the perfect temperature for you." You swirled your hand in the water, feeling the warmth. You shook off the excess water before wiping it on your apron. Haru quietly steps in, letting out a relieved sigh as he sinks in, closing his lids. You kneeled outside the tub beside him, observing his features and just how handsome he looked. You couldn't help but to trace your fingers over his features, as his eyes slowly open to meet yours. "Haru..." You whispered, his motions underwater almost overlapping your voice. He takes a hold of your wrist, nuzzling his damp cheek against it.

"I'm sorry-"

You cut off his apology. "Trees of doom? Really? Last week you called them veggie farts." You questioned with a soft chuckle. "Haru, you really need to fix this undressing habit of yours. Especially in the winter, when it's like -20C outside! You're going to get sick!" You started your nag. Haru couldn't help but to softly smile at your furrowed brows when you expressed your worries.

"Y/N." He tried to get your attention. "I'm not going to get sick." He reassured.

"If I hadn't dragged you back into the house any faster, you'll freeze up into ice!" You pouted.

"Kisumi started it." He went on explaining how he saw Kisumi and Makoto together to buy gifts for Makoto's younger siblings. In your part, you would say Haru just jealous but you kept quiet, knowing you won't hear the end of it from him. "So yeah, Kisumi provoked me."

You giggled at his angered expression. He truly does cherish the people he loves you thought to yourself. "But that doesn't mean you have to strip half naked." You try to prove your point. "Playing in the snow half naked is just out of the question!" You stood up about to head out back into the kitchen when he got a hold of your arm.

"I told you to not worry." He gave you a peck on the forehead. His lips were still cold. "I'm not going to get sick."

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾　　☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

You carried a bowl of warm water, placing it on the nightstand as you dipped a towel, twisting away the excess water before gently wiping away the sweat on your feverish lover. "What a surprised. I'm always swimming in cold water and all, how did I caught a cold now?" He had his lids closed as you wiped across his forehead. His voice was soft and weak.

"I'm not surprised. Just a little disappointed." He didn't have to open his eyes to already know the expression you had on your face. Your face was filled with worry the moment you noticed Haru shivering, even after stealing your blankets. "At least your fever is coming down" He tiredly lets out a hum. You kneeled down beside the bed, resting your head on your arm as you stared at his face, wincing time to time from muscle soreness. When Haru gets sick, his whole body almost shuts down. You felt his hand moving, searching for yours as you intertwined your fingers in his, kissing the top of his hand. "You know how worried I get when you're sick Haru." You rubbed your thumb against his skin.

"I know..." He slowly fluttered his eyes opened, turning to face you. His lips were paled and his eyes were filled of tiredness. "I'm sorry, Y/N." You reached for head, gently patting his head.

"Try getting some sleep, alright? I'm going to make some congee for you." You stood up, snuggling him in before you quietly closed the door, heading to the kitchen to start making his meal. Kisumi called to apologize and to check up on Haru to see if he's alright since he also caught a cold. You called his coach to let him know Haru's condition and that he'll need a few days off to recover.

You added to vegetables into the boiling pot before opening the cabinets to see if there's any medication left and too your surprised, you were all out. Tippy toeing back into your shared room, you quietly changed into some warmer clothing before walking back out, quickly glancing at Haru who was peacefully sleeping. You opened the door to a gust of wind and snow blowing into the house. You totally forgot about the snowstorm today but Haru's health was your priority.

You hurried to the convivence store to grab some medication along with snacks that Haru liked before heading home when the smell of something burning alarmed you. You forgot to turn off the stove before you left. You dropped your bag and ran over to the stove, turning off the heat and removing the lid before it overflows when you suddenly felt a shock of pain on your palm. You burnt yourself from the pot lid. Dropped the lid, forgetting that Haru was possibly still sleeping and ran your hand under water, hissing at the contact with the water. You mixed the congee, letting out a sigh that it wasn't burnt. Removing your jacket you went to get the first aid kit to apply some ointment onto your palm before wrapping it. It had a tingling sensation but you needed to make sure Haru eats and takes his medicine. You sliced up some fruit before placing them on a tray, heading to his room when you saw him in the hallway.

"Did something happen?" Haru's complexion looked a lot better after sleeping. His eyes travelled to the tray your holding.

"Oh, it's nothing. Let's go back to the room so you can eat and sleep after."

"I'll eat in the living room. I'm feeling a lot better after sleeping." He takes the tray from you, carrying it to the coffee table before taking a seat on the floor, you sitting beside him. He started eating, letting out a smile as your cooking never fails to impress him. "It's really good."

"Eat more then." You smiled, unconsciously running your hands through his hair. He stops and turns to you.

"What happened to your hand?" He takes a hold of your wrist, eyes widen at they covered palm. You tried pulling it back but his grip was too strong, even for someone who's sick.

"I just burnt myself a little when I was cooking, it's nothing." You tried to reassure him but it doesn't look like it got to him.

"Did you go out?" You followed his eyes behind you to the bag you abandon on the floor when you went to save the congee. "Where did you go in this weather?"

"We were out of medicine so I went to go get some at the convivence store." You stood up to get the bag, taking out the medicine

"Didn't you hear about the snowstorm today?" You looked up to his furrowed brows. "There was even a warning."

"Don't you worry. When it comes to the both of us, you know who dresses more accordingly to the weather." He knew he couldn't disagree, because you were always reminding him to bring a jacket when it's chilly or an umbrella when it rained. "I needed to get you medicine, that's why."

"You could've waited until the storm passes."

"When you're running with a fever and in pain? You know I'll never let that happen." His head dropped in defeat, feeling a little disappointed that you went out in such a horrible weather just to get medication. "Haru, you know how much you mean to me." You held his cheeks, lifting his face so you could look into his ocean blue eyes. "It doesn't matter what time of day, what weather condition, or whatever the problem is, you are always my number one priority." It then hits him. Just how much you cared for him. How much you treasure and adore him. The realization finally comes to Haru, and his heart couldn't stop glowing with love.

"Thank you." He softly smiles. You could feel his cheeks heating up as you automatically felt his forehead.

"Oh no, is your fever coming back again?!" You started to panic but Haru gently places his hand on your lap, trying to get you to calm down.

"Y/N..." He looked to the side, trying to organize his thoughts. "I... You are my number one priority also." You froze, trying to recollect what he just said.

Nervously laughing you gently slapped his shoulder. "Ok Haru, I think this fever is really getting you to. I'm going to get some water so you can eat your medicine. You turn to stand up before landing back on the ground. Haru's arms wrapped you as felt his warmth on your back. Your heart was pounding from his intimate actions. This was definitely something he would not do. Something way out of his comfort zone. "Haru? Are you okay?"

He rests his chin on your shoulder. "You've always been patient with me." You slowly nodded. "You also never failed to let me know how much you love me." His grip around you waist tightens. "If only you knew the amount of times I've tried to do the same." You fingers lightly touch his arm. "I know you told me that you'll wait for when I'm ready. And after all this time, I finally realized something for myself." You quietly waited for him to finished, knowing that he's organizing his thoughts. "I've come to realize just how much I am in love with you."

"Haru you don't-"

"No, Y/N. You don't understand how much I've been wanting to let you know. The amount of times I whispered it to you when you're asleep yet I still can't say it to you face to face frustrated it. The fact that whenever you told me you loved me, I hated myself for not being able to tell you I felt the same." You could hear his voice shaking and turned to face him, gently rubbing his shoulder. He slowly inched closer to your face. "I imagine myself looking to you in the eyes, deeply in love and finally letting all my feelings out for you." You couldn't help but to smile. Maybe this fever of his has him feeling more brave. "Thank you for waiting all this time, Y/N. I love you." He rests his hand on the side of your face, slowly bringing your face closer to his. His eyes staring down at your lips.

As much as you didn't want to ruin this sweet memorable moment, you covered his lips with your palm. "Take your medication and recover." You smirked as his face reddens up from embarrassment. "Then I'll let you finish what you wanted to do." You leaned up to kiss his forehead. "And promise me, no more stripping half naked." He chuckles, nodding his head obediently. You opened your arms for him to gladly fall and snuggle into.

"No matter how long. I'll always be patiently waiting for you."

fluffy and quality time.

request: can you write a comfort fluff headcanon or scenarios of shiina asahi and shinigo kisumi with reader from free? (both of them separated) i have such a soft spot for them 🥺

# tags: scenarios; current relationships; soft romance; pure fluff; comfort fic; kisses; hugs; quality time; zoo!au & cooking together; mention of having children; sfw

includes: gender neutral reader ft. asahi shiina & kisumi shinigo {free!}

author’s note: awhhh. i love this :(

— ASAHI

“... L-Look! Little otters!” You said with big eyes full of joy and your boyfriend just laughed. You looked really precious.

Asahi knew you love animals and have a soft spot for exotic creatures that you would never normally see in Japan, so for the first time in your relationship, you went to one of the largest zoo and botanical gardens near to Tokyo (literally less than half an hour from your University).

You’ve been at the zoo since twelve o’clock, and it was now... five in the afternoon on your watch. It was a huge and beautiful place full of amphibians, reptiles, fish, mammals and birds, as well as plants and invertebrates. There was also a mini-zoo, where you had the opportunity to stroke a cute donkey less than twenty minutes ago, and feed the goats.

You also had the chance to enter the glass aquarium in which the mentioned otters, seals, dolphins and many, many different colorful fishes swam.

It was definitely one of the best day of your life and one of the best date.

“We can go to the butterfly house, Y/N!” Your boyfriend screamed as loud as you, and at the sound of his voice you only squealed with great excitement and at the same time you hugged him tightly, squeezing his hand, which you were holding all the time until now.

Once you heard from someone that butterflies love to sit on human hair and nose, so you could not miss this occasion. You wanted Asahi to capture this moment.

— KISUMI

You smiled gently at the sight of your sweet boyfriend pouring flour into a bowl with the precision of a surgeon, then doing the same with baking powder. Plus, seeing him in a cute apron that match his hair was... amazing and so cute.

That evening you decided to make cupcakes with chocolate and fresh strawberries. You took care of heating the sweet chocolate in a pot and cutting the fruit, while your partner, with the help of a recipe found on the Internet, created his little masterpiece, i.e. a mass for vanilla cupcakes. You did it quite well as a people who don’t bake sweets very often (hardly ever).

“Babe. Will you pass me a spoon, please?” You asked Kisumi and he immediately handed you a silver cutlery, stealing a quick but really warm kiss from you in the meantime. Your cheeks flushed slightly and then you went back to your milk chocolate which you mixed. After a while you added diced strawberries to it. “It looks good now, but I wonder what the final product will taste like.” You chuckled, and the pink-haired teenager only frowned slightly.

“... You know, this could be considered our first child, so it will be as wonderful as the two of us.” He smirked and you nudged him lightly on the right side. “Hey?! Am I wrong?”

“S-Shush, dummy. Add two eggs and stop distracting me!”

“Awhh, you’re so cute when you’re embarrassed! I’ll give you one more kiss...!”

It was a really nice evening.

TickleTober 2022

List credit to @lizzienaut

I think I'm among the last to hop on this bandwagon, but OF COURSE I'm doing TickleTober this year! I'm so excited! Choosing a list was difficult, but I settled on this one because I haven't seen many writers doing it this year; I think this list was meant more for artists, but I'm going to give it a go anyway!

How it works:

Choose a prompt and a couple of characters and I'll write a Halloween-themed coffee shot for you! Please remember that I prefer to write for platonic pairings with only a couple of exceptions (which are listed in my pinned post), so I may make any shippings I receive platonic instead! ^^

Limit ONE prompt per person, please! I want to give as many people a chance as possible!

First come first served! If your request doesn't line up with the handful of restrictions I have in place, I'll let you know and your number will move to the next person in line.

Numbers that are crossed out with a red line are ones I'm not interested in/comfortable with for this year and will not write. Only a few this time around!

Fandoms available:

Big Windup

Demon Slayer (NEW!)

Dr. Stone

Free

Haikyuu

My Hero Academia

Obey Me

Sk8 the Infinity

The Promised Neverland

Character restrictions:

Most of these can be found on my pinned post, but for the couple of fandoms that aren't:

Demon Slayer: As I'm still getting used to this series as a whole, for now I'll only write for the main four: Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, and Zenitsu. I've only read the manga up through where the anime leaves off, so no spoilers, please! ^^

Free: Asahi, Kisumi, Hiyori, Seijuro; basically a majority of the background characters

Sk8: Joe, Cherry, 50/50 on Adam

Go ahead and start sending them in! I can't wait to get started on these and begin posting on October 1! ^^

➳ warnings: swearing, mentions of alcoholism (natsuya), eating and mentions of (rin, nao)

── 𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐔𝐊𝐀.

we know he loves water, so he’d probably do one of those ‘come with me to my swim meet’ sorta videos

i don’t imagine he’d spend too long editing or care much about angles, so some of the shots might be a bit, um... sketch

his editing might also be a little bit chaotic

but he does make sure that the thumbnails look at least the tiniest bit pleasing for the views

haru isn’t talking in his videos, let’s be honest

he’s the one who at the start of the video puts a little closed captions on note before anything starts so people can interpret at least a little of what he’s doing

that being said, he probably doesn’t put too much effort into captions either

but he does take great joy in reading some of the comments

he usually reads the first few before deciding there are too many and stopping

his username is probably just ‘haru.’

yes, with the full stop

after getting into university, he starts talking a lot more

and people went wild for the famed voice reveal

── 𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐎𝐓𝐎.

just your regular ‘a day in my life’ content

'mako movies’ superiority

always has a segment where he checks in with the cats in his neighbourhood

but the moment he filmed a swimming practice, his views kinda skyrocketed

no one expected that underneath the sweaters and trackies

he keeps his family private in his videos

like, makoto will blur their faces or put some funny photo over them so they can have a life without getting stopped

that being said, makoto almost cried the first time someone stopped him to ask for a picture

he loves the comments, but he gets sad at the hateful ones

then he goes to the replies, and 9 times out of 10, there’s a comment along the lines of this

‘makoto has more talent in a single fingernail than you’ll ever have in your entire lifetime you disgraceful fuck >:((’

it makes him laugh, even if it was a bit aggressive

── 𝐑𝐘𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐙𝐀𝐊𝐈 𝐑𝐄𝐈.

tell me he isn’t one of those academic youtubers

he’s the one teaching people how to solve simultaneous equations when they need it most

i’m sorry rei stans, but he’s probably got a bit of a cheesy channel name

that, or it’s his name in kanji

there’s only 2 sides here

rei probably doesn’t stray far from 2 or 3 subjects to be tutoring the internet on

he has the maths

he has the science

and he’s probably got the odd facts scattered throughout

his comments praise him so much

and he has never been happier to see people close to failing end up acing their next test

like haru, he probably doesn’t talk in his videos either

but even though it’s science and maths

his videos are so aesthetic??

sometimes people don’t watch him for the content, just for visuals

── 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐒𝐀.

he’s a streamer

and probably plays games

i see him doing the animal crossing new horizons 

and probably some horror games

people love this boy

he’s precious to them and they will let nothing put him down

nagisa has a blast playing jackbox with friends and also is one of those minecraft streamers too

he’s a diverse boi

but oh boy is he deep down many of the gacha games

ahem

genshin-

nagisa has a youtube channel as well, but mostly posts highlights and stuff to it

sometimes he’ll just chat to his viewers and tell them stories from his life

comforts those who are struggling with strict parents because SAME

‘PenguinPlays’ is going strong and he’s loving every second of it

── 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐎𝐊𝐀 𝐑𝐈𝐍.

he’s a mukbang streamer

this comes in real handy when he’s living in australia, because none of his friends are there to talk to him

so he eats with the internet for company

he will talk about the strangest subjects

and also talks in english for the world to enjoy

he will speak japanese sometimes if people ask

but for the most part, he’s talking in english

rin will talk about the food itself, and then about his day

ask his audience about how their day has been

while he likes the eating streams, sometimes he’ll stream cooking as well

shares his recipes with the world

rin definitely had a youtube when he was really young

‘sharkshow9000′ will never be forgotten

and thankfully, no one has discovered the dark past of ‘MatsuokaMukbang’

yet

── 𝐘𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐙𝐀𝐊𝐈 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐄.

i see him as one of those fitness and wellbeing youtubers

‘yamazaki fitness’ will reign supreme over the other gym youtubers

people don’t actually watch him for the content sometimes either

he’s not very energetic, so while he’s talking people through fitness regimes or stretches he’d be complaining

‘this is gonna hurt like a bitch, don’t worry, i hate it too, let’s just push through it together...’

he really makes people want to work out when he makes comments like that

once, he looked at a ‘yamazaki fitness once said’ video

and he forgot he said 90% of what was in the video

also watches people try to follow along with his videos like a bob ross tutorial

sousuke enjoys watching them laugh at his comments and fail doing their exercise

though sometimes he hates going to public gyms because he’ll get recognised and it’s just not a fun time

he loves his followers, but he’s at the gym for a reason please leave him be-

── 𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈 𝐀𝐈𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐔.

he’s a bullet journal bitch

those aesthetic pen pal people

with the lofi music in the background

‘notes with nitori’ is everyone’s comfort youtuber

he has the washi tape

he has the calligraphy pens

he has the aesthetic handwriting

nitori is everything

the editing is the most perfect thing anyone has ever seen

it’s so aesthetic and nice

he also has a bit of the asmr with the chill music

nitori is kinda shy, so he doesn’t like being recognised in public, which is why he keeps his face out of his videos for the most part

same with his voice

he’ll write in japanese, but for the sake of the internet, he’ll write in english occasionally

── 𝐌𝐈𝐊𝐎𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐁𝐀 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔.

he’s collecting bugs, convince me otherwise

he also has kinda dodgy editing

haru is a little bit more organised with it, but momo just has random cuts

and a very out of place time lapse

i think he would also leave in clips he meant to cut out because he was rushing

half the time, his camera probably isn’t focused

he’s like, ‘omg look at this stag beetle’

n the screen is just blurry

you can make out the shape of it

barely

‘expedition m&m’ is the himbo of wildlife youtube

but he’s popular

and he brags to his siblings all the time

momo is so excited when fans come up to him asking for a photo

will never deny them

── 𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐀 𝐈𝐊𝐔𝐘𝐀.

ikuya is probably doing those aesthetic cooking videos

his workspace is pristine

and the energy is immaculate

a very calming presence

another youtuber who doesn’t show their face very much

he doesn’t do fancy usernames

so he’s along the lines of haru, where it’s just his name

that being said

‘i. kirishima’ isn’t a bad username

he doesn’t know how to bake many things

so it’s often him filming cooking dinner and such for himself

the comments always like pointing out how he cuts his vegetables into cute shapes

but he also gets praise for his vintage sort of editing style

maybe not vintage

but he for sure exudes dark academia from JUST the font he uses in videos

── 𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐀 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐘𝐀.

man’s an alcoholic, can you imagine how wild his content would be?

a streamer for sure

with no schedule at all

just giving his opinion on things when no one asked

perhaps drunk

he’s also probably a gamer

he thinks he’s so tough

and then one jump scare in fnaf and he’s screaming

it’s really chaotic

he’d be playing some untypical games for him though

splatoon 2, animal crossing new horizons, persona 5

but as kind of tame they are

he certainly is not

‘kirina’ is sort of the baby of tommyinnit and tyler1

and the chat live for it

once he was on stream with a whole sheet mask

because skin care-

── 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐙𝐀𝐖𝐀 𝐍𝐀𝐎.

nao is pretty intelligent

so he probably builds keyboards on youtube

it’s so satisfying when the asmr typing comes in at the end

another aesthetic bitch

and bless his soul

he explains what he’s doing in the captions to the point where if someone wanted to follow along, they could

but when he streams things

which isn’t too often

he builds random things

kind of like nihachu building the chair and desk on stream

and the people love ‘sxrizwa’

sometimes people send him a keyboard to build for them and he builds it on stream while talking to chat

he encourages eating snacks and hydrating when watching his streams

he even has is own snacks and water beside him so they don’t feel like the only ones

── 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐎 𝐊𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐈.

cafe vlogs

purely based on the on my day off art

he’s probably on the lower end of aesthetic

it’s still fun to watch though, but it’s definitely less asmr and more him going

‘why is the whipped cream not coming out??’

and then it all comes out in one big go and his face is like

:000

‘shit.’

but it is great for his work, because people come to the cafe just to see him

he puts little thank you notes on his subscriber’s napkins

he’s totally not meant to

but he does anyway

‘kisumi goodnight’ is his username because he thought it was funny

it sounds like ‘kiss me goodnight’

and we know how kisumi is

if he’s spotted in public, he’ll happily talk to them and take a picture

sometimes he seeks it out

── 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐇𝐈.

i don’t think he’s all that creative, so he’s probably a reaction channel

he’s definitely cried to the movies his subscribers suggest

big hero 6 had no right to kill off tadashi that quickly

his subscribers think it’s funny how he can go from 0 to 100 real quick and vice versa

but sometimes he vlogs

he’s filmed a karaoke night with the other boys and it went...

it went.

the absolute chaos that was the group singing splash free is now a clip on its own

same as the other style five songs

back to reaction channel asahi

another guy who just used his name because he didn’t wanna fucking embarrass himself a decade later

but like rin, he did have a channel before ‘shiina asahi’

may ‘shiiningasahi24′ rest in peace

he mostly does movies and occasionally tv shows

he cried like a little bitch to arcane

understandably

── 𝐓𝐎𝐎𝐍𝐎 𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐎𝐑𝐈.

he’s the other streamer who offers his opinions when nobody asked

but he’ll be building something in minecraft and be ranting about god knows what

it’s quite insightful sometimes

but other times, no one wanted to know about the michelin star system

while ‘toono talks’ is mostly playing chill games like animal crossing, building in minecraft and probably the papa’s games

sometimes he will delve a little into the men’s fashion

a couple of his streams have been styling tips

a much appreciated service for many

but some of the things hiyori talks about really resonates with his audience

because he went on for, like, and hour and a half

about the pink tax

feminist hiyori coming in clutch

but he really invites his chat to rant about things too

he’ll join them in complaining any time

sometimes he’ll say

‘that isn’t very fuck the patriarchy of you’

and it’s his iconic quote now

[tommybaholland]

Hellooo! Can I request Haru, Asahi Shiina, Ikuya and Kisumi HCs with a really ticklish S/O please? :)

s/o who’s really ticklish

featuring: haruka nanase, asahi shiina, ikuya kirishima, and kisumi shigino

a request for the free boys...i am loving it. enjoy!

haruka 

he had never really considered tickling you, or that you were even ticklish in the first place

he is someone who is slow to warm up with physical affection so the thought of sensually touching you was beyond him at one point

but he did think your hugs were warm and holding your hand put him at ease

when he discovered that you were ticklish, it was at a rather unexpected time

it happened while he was kissing you, in fact

the first few times he had kissed you were rather awkward on his part due to not knowing where to put his hands

this time, he felt bold and secure enough to take his hand that was holding yours, travel it up your arm, over your shoulder, aiming to caress the back of your neck

his hand gently brushing over the side of your neck made you giggle against his lips and shrug your shoulder, causing you to pull away from the kiss 

he was so into the moment that he didn’t know what had happened

“what’s so funny?”

you reassure him that you’re ticklish in that spot where your neck meets your shoulder 

you then tell him that you liked that kiss and now all he wants to do is try to impress you once more

“i think i could do it again.”

unfortunately, he keeps finding all your ticklish spots while he’s kissing you

now he really doesn’t know what to do with his hands

so far, it seems like your back, sides, and neck are no-goes 

you tell him that you’ll get used to it eventually 

but much to his surprise, he thinks of other ways he can hold you while kissing 

right now, he enjoys pulling you in by your elbow and wrapping an arm around your shoulder while his other hand either stays put on your forearm or will move up to caress your cheek 

now you just have to ask makoto or rin where all of his tickle spots are

asahi

he’s known for being positive, even when hitting a mental block

and he’s there to boost others’ confidence too 

so having him as a boyfriend when you’re feeling down or needing some comfort is the best thing in the world

he would definitely threaten to tickle you to try to cheer you up while holding you in his arms

“how about some tickles?? okay. *snorts* sorry, sorry. you’re not in the mood for tickles.” 

but for real, he’ll hold you and rub your back and tell you how proud he is of you 

you’ll squirm a bit in his hold from the tingles going down your back

“is my hand on your back tickling you? i promise i’m not doing it on purpose haha.”

he likes to get a little sentimental during these moments

“do you remember when i would run my hand up and down your back when we first started dating? and you have this little spot between your shoulders--”

and he presses in a tender spot that makes you squirm and giggle a bit, even though it actually kinda hurts a little

“i’m sorry, babe. i don’t mean to hurt you. i just like messing with you.” 

he goes on to talk about how he likes to do it when you’re napping or sleeping together and you’re having trouble falling asleep 

he thinks it’s nice seeing you so calm and peaceful

he also enjoys tracing down your arm over your lower back, his fingertips just barely touching the skin to make goosebumps pop up

he might like that just a little more than actually tickling you

he’s not super aggressive with his tickles and likes to be as discrete as possible

he strikes most often when you’re wearing more loose-fit clothing and while you’re cuddling and watching something 

he sneaks a hand under your shirt to tickle your sides ever so lightly with his fingers 

your reaction is astronomical compared to his touch but he’s always apologetic about it when you try to sit as far away from him as possible 

ikuya 

he takes things very seriously and your relationship is no exception

so tickles from him are not that common, or at least they weren’t 

you’ve seen how fun and playful he can be and you felt like the transition into a romantic relationship might have been putting a lot of pressure on him

it’s nice that he wanted to do everything right and be a good partner to you

but you wanted him to loosen up just a little and act like his normal self around you 

one time you were just sitting at home with him and discussing what to do for dinner

you wanted to cook but there’s a small disagreement on who should make what

he claims that everything he makes is amazing meanwhile yours is just ‘okay’

he finally agrees to let you make your favorite dinner with him helping you

you then decide to smack him lightly with one of the pillows on the couch

he looks over to you, both confused and shocked 

“baby, why would you hit me with a pillow? i said we could make what you want-- ow! okay. give me that--”

a pillow fight has now ensued

you hit him pretty hard in the face, which causes him to tackle you into the couch, laying on top of you, and tickling you

“yeah. this is what you get for hitting me so hard in the face.”

when you start pushing him off, he grabs your wrists and pins you down, his whole weight now fully on top of you

you start pouting and call him a big jerk 

he’s really enjoying the turn that your little ploy has taken

“oh, i’m the jerk? what about the jerk who was hitting me with a pillow, hm? no. i think i’ll lay on you for a little longer.”

then he starts leaving kisses starting at your jaw and going down your neck

“you know, you look really hot right now.”

now THIS is the ikuya you wanted to see

kisumi

he likes knowing everything about you

including your tickle spots

and he’s been wanting to know about them since practically day one

there’s no doubt that his love language is physical touch

but obviously, he would respect your boundaries and wouldn’t cross them if it made you uncomfortable

fortunately, he’s a very easygoing and bright person so it was easy to get physically comfortable and closer to him

and he just thinks you are so cute, especially when you’re laughing and he’s laughing and you’re both just enjoying each other

he likes to surprise you by grabbing your waist from behind

“hey, gorgeous.”

and then tickling you even more by kissing your neck

he finds that you’re ticklish in cute but rather peculiar places

giving you head rubs, particularly right in the top of your head, makes you shiver and wiggle a little from the sensation you feel on your scalp

and then when he’s kissing all over your face, usually when you’re in bed together and he starts nibbling on your cheekbones

“oh, does it tickle when i do that?” and will continue to do it after you nod

and if there are times when you don’t want to be tickled but still need some attention, he takes some advice from his good friend, asahi

he also likes having more peaceful and relaxed moments with you where he’s just barely tracing your skin with his fingertips

he’s the type that likes to draw shapes or write words on your back

but sometimes it tickles too much that you can’t even guess what he’s drawing or writing

so then he’ll just do it on your cheek

but then that’ll just turn into him giving you more kisses because you are the light of his life

wyd, wild card night?? maybe sending a request perhaps..

!Yandere !Vampire Kisumi X Reader - Love Bites

♥ TW: This fanfic has mentions of kidnapping, violence, assault, biting and mentions of blood along with the biting, forced intimacies, forcing self onto the reader at certain points and yandere themes and actions. ♥ If any of the above does trigger you, please do not read. All characters are 18+ as college is mentioned in the past tense. 

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥                                                                                              ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥                                  You were never one to believe in such things as mythical creatures, it was just a bunch of nonsense. Of course, they’re wonderful tall tales to tell and talk about when you were younger, but you’re grown now; out of that phase you could say.

Tall tales, that’s all they were...at least you thought they were.

You could draw everything that you’ve experienced and seen as a lack of sleep, working too hard, or just needing a break to calm your mind, but with the most recent experiences you just couldn’t come up with an excuse for them and that very thought chilled you to your core. The dark figure standing in the corner of your room at night using the darkness as a veil, but the thing that stood out to you was the flickers of pink from the top of the figure's head from the small slivers of moonlight peeking through the closed curtains. 

Not only did the figure terrify you, but the touches were what set you over the edge. The soft touches that caressed your cheeks, head and the curves and contours of your body as the hands glided across your blanket covered body. You would always peek your eyes open only to see the same pink hair in your view.

The only person you knew with pink hair was Kisumi. 

He was your friend, a close friend at that. You guys did everything together, having been friends since College it just made sense for you guys to do things together. His behavior used to be carefree, fun and just free. Kisumi was a free spirit, but you noticed something change within him in the past few years; he was more possessive toward you. Always wanting to have your attention, scaring off potential significant others.

This wasn’t his usual behavior with you. Not only that, but his mannerisms have changed too. Not really eating in front of you, coming over at night only; claiming his new job had him working mornings many days and just being too exhausted to go anywhere with you during the day. Just weird things that have come up that rubbed you the wrong way. 

You hated that your mind went to these tall tales of Vampires, but you couldn’t come up with a normal answer. With his towering figure plaguing your mind, the touches that came in contact with your resting body and the constant fear and shiver of being watched by something unknown, hidden, just lurking in the shadows with their eyes fixated on you. 

Looking at how Kisumi was laughing and socializing with your guys’ group of friends, it’s as if nothing changed with him and he was the same ole Kisumi that everyone knew and had a great time with. He might have been able to fool the rest of your friends, but you knew something was up and tonight you were going to confront him even if you sounded like a lunatic. Taking a final drink of your (favorite drink), you placed some money on the table to cover your portion of the bill along with everyone else as everyone started to get up and say their goodbyes, making plans to meet up again next month as usual. 

Giving a final wave to your friends, you felt an arm snake around your shoulders and pulled you into a firm body. “(Y/N)-chan, let’s get you home.” Kisumi’s smooth voice filtered through your ears as you both made your way down the mostly empty sidewalk, the chatter and lively atmosphere of the restaurant dying away the further you walked away. The only noise that echoed around the silent street was both of your footsteps.

“You know I can get myself home, right Kisu?” He only shook his head and rubbed your shoulder, his cold skin giving you goosebumps as he brushed his fingers against the skin of your exposed upper arm. That was another weird thing with him, he was always cold now. He used to be warm, overly warm actually, always a human furnace. Now though, he was always cold to the touch and it always made you shiver no matter how many times it happened. 

“I know (Y/N), but I have to protect you from all the monsters out there, don’t I?” Another shiver ran down your spine at his question, you knew it was playful. It was Kisumi, he was always playful when it came to you, but this felt like it held an underlying meaning; like he was trying to tell you something. Scoffing, you rolled your eyes at his words. “Sure, the monsters Kisumi, whatever you say.” He laughed at your words as the both of you continued to walk down the street in silence. 

Clearing your throat, you decided to just ask him. “So, speaking of monsters, what do you think about vampires?” Kisumi stopped walking as he grasped your shoulder in a tight grip making you reel back as well. “What the hell Kisumi?!” Your shoulder burned a bit at how hard he dug his fingernails into your skin, but he still didn’t let go. Looking at his face he had a stoic look and his eyes were menacing in a way; narrowed and pointed right at you. “Vampires? Now, why would little (Y/N)-chan bring up such a thing as Vampires?” The malice that was laced in his voice was evident and downright terrifying especially in a situation where you were alone with him at night on an empty street. 

You tried to yank yourself away from his strong hold, but he didn’t let up. “It was a joke Kisumi, what’s wrong with you?” He only smirked at your words, before pushing against your shoulder until you hit the brick wall of one of the buildings. “A joke huh?” Placing his other hand on your free shoulder, he pinned you in place, the brick rubbing against your exposed skin in a way that it surely would leave marks. Before you could protest, Kisumi leaned down to your ear and whispered, “Do you think it’s a joke as you watch me in the corner of your room, or when I touch your delicious body in bed?” Your breath caught in your throat at his words. 

Your hands pushed hard against his chest, fear crawling up your body at his words. “That’s not fucking funny Kisu, I’m leaving.” Without waiting for him to respond, you shoved your way past him, resuming the trek to your house. Even the thought of your house wasn’t safe, it made you even more fearful, but you didn’t have much of a choice at this point. You felt like the darkness was suffocating you at this point and without a second thought, you ran the remainder of the few blocks, your front door in your view making you somewhat relieved. 

Deadbolting the door, your body slid down, settling at the floor. You felt exhausted, fearful and not to mention paranoid. Heavy eyes scanned the living room and what you could see of your hallway and everything seemed clear. Getting up with weak legs, you turned on every light in the house paying no mind to the thought of your electric bill nor how silly it seemed. This was what made you feel safe and at this point you were going to do anything to feel that way. 

After changing into some pajamas and trying to relax from the encounter with Kisumi, you found yourself wrapped up in a blanket on the couch, television playing a cliche horror movie. Wanting something to take your mind off what happened, you got sucked into the black and white film.

Your mind was completely preoccupied with the slasher film, blanket clutched in your hands, hiding your face behind the fuzzy comfort item as specific gory and violent scenes would pop on the screen. Usually you would watch these movies, any movie really with Kisumi...your mind went to your friend for a moment, not of the creepy things that have arisen recently, but of the memories of you both together. He would be here right now poking fun at you for being scared of these scenes, but also ‘protecting’ you from whatever was going on.

As your mind was wandering, you didn’t notice the presence next to you, not until a hand was on your thigh, fingers tapping against the supple flesh that was exposed from your pajamas. A scream erupted from your throat, but a hand clasped over your mouth, muffled cries were the only thing in the room, the noises on the television being drowned out by the thumping of your own heart. “Now (Y/N), this is the best part, hold in that scream for a minute, alright love?” His hand was still over your mouth and his free one was still trailing along your thigh. Side eyeing him, he sat there with a content smile on his face, eyes still glued on the screen. You stayed in that position for the next ten minutes until the credits were rolling.

“I loved watching these movies with you (Y/N), it was nice to be your savior when you got scared at certain scenes.” His hand uncovered your mouth, but started to stroke the soft skin down the slope of your neck getting dangerously close to the valley of your chest. “K-Kisu...how’d you get in?” Your body started to tremble as he just laughed at the fear pouring out of you at this moment. Gripping the back of your neck, Kisumi pulled you toward him, his face shoving itself into the crook of your neck as he started to place soft kisses along the slope of your neck and your collarbone. 

You felt his hot breath fan your skin as he answered your question. “Oh (Y/N), I think you already know the answer...I always tell you to lock your window.” The color drained from your face. Your window. The window that was always unlocked. It was something you didn’t think about because it was on the second floor. A place no human can reach because there were no trees, ledges, anything to help with climbing up. 

“Am I right Kisu?” A single question you needed answered. A heavy silence hung in the air as the man in question even stopped his kisses on your skin. “You’re always right (Y/N), I knew you would piece everything together, my (Y/N) is smart after all.” You could feel the sharpness of teeth scrape against the tender flesh of your neck, your breath hitching at the sensation. 

“I’ve always wanted to taste you, to know how sweet your blood is, I might get addicted to it (Y/N), but I don’t want to drain you dry...I want you around forever with me.” He laughed at the flinch in your body as he pressed his fangs a bit deeper into your neck. “You’re not ready to be changed yet either.” Sitting back up, he effortlessly pulled you into his lap, arms wrapping around your waist and anchoring you to him. “I think I’ll keep you as my personal toy until you’re ready to be changed, doesn’t my (Y/N) like the sound of that?” Fully grinning at the petrified look on your face, he showed you his sharp fangs, tongue sliding over them to add emphasis on what would happen if you disobeyed him.

--

You didn’t know what month it was, let alone the day. You just knew it’s been so long since Kisumi took you that night at your former house. After he had you in his arms, he told you what was going to happen. You got to pack what you could that night and he took you away. His home was your home now, or as he puts it, our home. 

He didn’t let you out, the house was your own personal prison and you...you were Kisumi’s personal blood bag. He didn’t want to kill you, nor turn you yet, but he had to have a taste of your blood, he tasted every other aspect of you and he knew he’d be addicted to your blood and it turns out he was.

Your skin was littered in bite marks. He would pierce your skin and take a drink from you, enough to make you dizzy before he stopped himself. He couldn’t wait for the wound to heal which is why he bites you in any available skin no matter where it is. 

He just wanted your sweet blood. Sometimes he would go overboard and will only stop if you pass out. Due to him feeding on you, you were exhausted. You turned into a shell of your former self with his constant feeding. Dark bags were under your eyes, droopy lids accompany them as well. All you wanted was rest, proper rest, but you knew you’d never get that again. 

You wouldn’t get anything you wanted again.

“(Y/N), my love, there you are.” Your head lolled to the side, Kisumi standing there with his usual smile on his face. The bed dipped down as his hands smoothed over your body, caressing any part of you he could get. He kissed your lips and made his way down to your neck. Before he could do anything, you whined out, hands weakly trying to stop him. 

“Please, not today Kisumi, I don’t think I can do it. I hurt so much, you drank too much yesterday, please give me a day to recover.” Kisumi cupped your face, thumb stroking the dark bags that decorated under your eyes. “Rest? (Y/N), we’ve been over this already sweetheart, I need to taste you everyday otherwise I might snap and we wouldn’t want that, right?” His hand clutched your face, squishing your cheeks together as you frantically shook your head not wanting to have him hurt you again.

“Good, that’s my good girl.” Placing a soft kiss on your forehead, he let your face go, a breath of relief escaped you as he bared his fangs and traced them over the scarred skin before sinking into the skin of your neck, a place he hasn’t touched in a week which was plenty of time to heal in his opinion.

“Ahh, Kisu...hurts, Kisu, it hurts..” Your weak voice flooded his ears, but he paid you no mind, you always struggled when he did this, but you were his to use and abuse to his desire. You were his little toy, his precious (Y/N).

The feeling of your blood sliding down his throat was beautiful. It was like a drug to him, he couldn’t get enough of it and he knew he was breaking you, but he didn’t care. He will turn you soon and you’ll be fine, but for now he needs you to keep hanging on. The quiet moans of pain only turned him on as he sunk his fangs deeper in your soft skin. “Kisu..too much, stop, please.” Soft pounding of your hands on his back snapped him out of his trance, Unlatching himself from your neck, your head fell to the side, eyes half lidded and skin heated after the ordeal. 

Licking a stray drop of blood from his lips and the puncture wounds on your neck, he was satisfied for now. Even though he was addicted to your blood, he was excited to turn you. You would finally be his forever, just as it should’ve been. Smirking at your worn out body, he gave you one last kiss before throwing a blanket over you and stalking off to finish your turning ceremony.

Fandoms (and Characters Within Them) I Enjoy Writing For

I’m only listing the fandoms/characters I enjoy writing for, and then my all time favourite characters to write for will be indicated as shown below. If you request a headcanon for a fandom, without one specific character/a few select characters, I will write for most of the characters on the list below said fandom, provided the list isn’t too long. 

Feel free to ask if I’ve watched a show/movie and/or if I’d be willing to write for a certain character. I might have left it off the list, or might be interested in getting into it. 

Also, I’d like to preface this list by saying that me writing romantically for kid characters doesn’t mean I’m romantically attracted to them. Funnily enough, I (born in 2005) have no romantic interest in a 12-year-old character. To me, it’s no different than an author romantically pairing up two of their same-age child characters. That being said, I have indicated under certain fandoms that I’d prefer writing for characters as being aged up at least a couple of years if the request is romantic.

If you have any requests or questions, leave them in my ask box! 

*___* = one of my favourites to write for (though not always a reflection of my opinion of the character/show; I love a lot of characters/shows that aren’t listed with *_*, but I’ll just find them a bit tricky to write for)

-___- = I’ll write for them, but only platonically/not romantically

---------

Here’s a quick reminder to please please please read through the post regarding requesting rules, things I will/won’t write and just general information you should know before sending in a request. It’s linked HERE.

Fantober 2020, Day 18: Music/Dancing

Author: DatHeetJoella Fandom: Free Pairing: MakoHaru Rating: T Part: 18/31 (read the full collection here) Word count: 1,833 Tags: Canonverse, Established Relationship, Fluff, Fiancés, Dance Practice, Wedding Stress Read at: AO3, FFn, or right here!

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

Left foot backwards, right foot to the side and slide close. Or wait, was it right foot backwards, left foot to the side?

Haruka's hesitation made Makoto halt before he could step on his toes and he lost his balance. His hands clenched around the fabric of Haruka's shirt and Haruka caught him just in time before they toppled over and crashed to the floor.

With a sigh, Kisumi turned off the music. "Stop looking at your feet, Haru."

Haruka clicked his tongue. "Easy for you to say, you know what to do."

"I had to learn it like this too," Kisumi said, "You're overthinking it, it's not that hard."

"Swimming isn't that hard either, yet I've never seen you win a competition before."

"Now, now, let's not get personal, alright?" Asahi said, holding up his hands to appease them both before the situation could escalate.

"Why don't we take a short break?" Makoto said, bidding their friends a sheepish smile as if to apologise for Haruka's outburst.

"Fine." Haruka tore himself out of Makoto's arms, stomped over to the couch in the corner of the room and plopped down with a huff.

Deep down, he knew he was being unreasonable. Their friends were trying to help them, but he felt like he was dangling above the pit of despair here.

Their wedding was only a few weeks away and, organised as he was, Haruka made sure they were ahead of schedule and arranged all that needed to be arranged. The venue was booked, the invitations sent out and the cake ordered, and they had appointments for their final suit fittings. From the food served at dinner to the centerpieces and decorations, everything was taken care of. At least, that was what he thought.

During a video chat with Rin earlier this week, he asked how their wedding preparations were going and if they had a choreography for their first dance. When they told him they weren't going to do a first dance since neither of them even knew how to dance, Rin almost jumped through his screen to smack them both across the head. According to him, the first dance as spouses was a beautiful tradition that may not, under any circumstance, be broken.

Makoto and he hadn't been convinced yet, but when they discussed the matter with several other friends and family members, everyone agreed with Rin and insisted that the first dance was a wedding staple. Rei assigned himself the task of coming up with the choreography and Asahi and Kisumi offered to help them learn it and suddenly, Haruka and Makoto found themselves stuck in the center of a storm with no way out. Reluctantly, they agreed to it, on the condition the choreography would be short and simple.

So the following Saturday evening, their living room furniture was shoved aside to create a dance floor and Asahi and Kisumi came over to teach them the choreography Rei put together with the help of Nagisa.

To their credit, they had kept it pretty simple, with a couple of twists and turns and one dip as a grand finale. On top of a video of Nagisa and him dancing it, Rei also wrote a very elaborate explanation on every move and emailed it along. Clear and easy, no issues there. But when they started, the problems rapidly surfaced.

No matter how many times they played the video or watched as Kisumi and Asahi demonstrated the starting steps, they couldn't figure it out. They forgot the difference between left and right, messed up the timing and for the first time in their lives, they felt out of tune with each other. There was no rhythm, no perfect harmony, only two klutzes without a grain of finesse in their bodies, to Haruka's greatest frustration.

They were wasting their time. Not just their own, but Kisumi and Asahi's as well. It was better to throw in the towel than to continue with this shameful display, because there was no way Haruka was embarrassing himself like this at his own wedding.

Noticing his predicament, Makoto handed him a glass of water and sat down beside him. "Are you okay, Haru?" he asked softly so Asahi and Kisumi, who were discussing the matter at the other end of the room, wouldn't hear.

"I can't do this, I give up."

"Don't say that," Makoto said as he nudged Haruka with his elbow. "It's difficult, but I'm sure we'll get the hang of it eventually. You couldn't expect to be able to swim the first time you dove into the water and it's the same with this. If you gave up then, you never would've accomplished what you have now."

Haruka scoffed. "I've always been able to swim, this is completely different."

Makoto chuckled at his attitude. "Fine, walking then. If you gave up with learning how to walk the first time you fell and never got back up, you wouldn't even be here now, trying to learn how to dance."

"If I had stayed down then I wouldn't be having this problem."

"Come on now, Haru," Makoto chided. "Don't be so pessimistic. It's just as hard for me as it is for you, but I'm willing to give it a fair shot. Isn't this fun too?"

"Fun? Makoto, the wedding is in four weeks!"

"So that's what this is about. You're nervous."

"I am about this," Haruka said, defensively turning away from his fiancé and clenching his fingers around the glass. "This is so out of my comfort zone."

"It's out of mine, too, but I still think it's fun," Makoto said as he put a soothing hand on Haruka's knee. "Even if it's something that feels foreign, I think trying something new with you is a fun experience. I'm not confident in my dancing skills at all, but I enjoy dancing with you even if we mess up or step on each other's toes or bump into each other. Because it's another way I can connect with you, something only the two of us share."

Admittedly, Haruka hadn't regarded it like that. But when he thought it over, he found that it wasn't his inability to dance that frustrated him so, it was his inability to dance with Makoto. Everything always went so naturally between the two of them, yet this made him feel as though they were on different wavelengths.

But Makoto felt their connection even though they weren't perfect from the get-go. Maybe they didn't have to be a well-oiled machine to enjoy dancing; maybe twirling around in each other's arms in utter disarray could be fun too, at least until they improved.

"Why don't we get back up and try again?" Makoto suggested with a gentle smile. "We can practice every night, from dusk till dawn, until we get the steps right and you feel comfortable enough. And if you still don't feel comfortable on our big day, then we can forget about it and skip the first dance. It's our wedding, so we can do whatever we want."

After all those sweet words, it would be selfish of Haruka to decline. Their friends were adamant Makoto should lead since he was taller than him, so this was probably even more challenging for him yet Haruka was the one who sat here sulking like a child. The least he could do was try again.

"I guess I could give it another shot."

A wide grin lit up Makoto's handsome face and he leapt up from the couch, grasping Haruka's hand in his. He pressed a kiss to Haruka's knuckles and asked, "May I have this dance?"

Haruka rolled his eyes. "I guess you may," he said, leaning over to put his glass on the coffee table, then he allowed Makoto to pull him up.

"Alright, new plan," Kisumi said after careful deliberation with his assistant. "You can't expect someone who's inside a pool for the first time to swim perfectly, they have to get used to the feeling of the water first. So that's what we're going to do now."

"How?" Makoto asked, equally as confused as Haruka. Images of dancing with Makoto inside the pool flooded Haruka's mind and though the prospect was rather enticing, he was sure that wasn't what Kisumi meant.

"Put your hands on Haru's waist. Haru, you wrap your arms around Makoto's neck," Asahi instructed. When they did as told, he continued, "We're going to put the music back on and you're going to forget we're here and move along to the music. Considering you already live in your own worlds when you're together anyway, I don't think that's going to be very difficult."

"Just do what feels natural," Kisumi said, and with a tap on his phone, the music resumed.

Haruka didn't think this was going to work. It wasn't like he could simply ignore the presence of two loud and boisterous guys disrupting the air in their harmonious living room, and moving along to music could never feel natural to him. The sole place he could freely move as he pleased was inside the water, where he felt fluid and unrestrained.

And yet, as he stared into the forest of Makoto's eyes, how they twinkled with joy and affection, the world around them melted away. His heartbeat spiked and the corners of his lips curled up when he felt how intimate this actually was. Inside the bubble of a soft melody, only Makoto and he remained. As Makoto slowly began to sway along to the rhythm, his own body was swept up in his current.

This beautiful man who held him so gently was going to be his husband. Even though he always knew they were going to spend the rest of their lives together because he loved him more than anything in the entire universe, it was going to be official in four weeks. They were getting married, how could anything else matter?

Every droplet of panic and irritation inside him evaporated, leaving nothing but love and resolve in his veins. Whether it be winning Olympic races and ending up on the podium or dancing a three-minute choreography at their wedding, with Makoto by his side, Haruka was certain he could accomplish anything.

"See, we knew you could do it!"

And with that, the spell was broken and the magic in the air dissolved. Startled, Haruka and Makoto broke away from each other and looked back at their friends, who had blended in with the furniture up until that point.

"Asahi!" Kisumi yelped, but it was already too late.

"Sorry."

"It's alright," Makoto said with his sunshine smile, waving a dismissive hand to Asahi's apology.

"Thank you," Haruka muttered, pushing himself to voice his appreciation, "I think we can try the choreography again."

Learning something new was tough, but with Makoto as his partner and the support of their friends, Haruka was confident they could figure this out right in time before the wedding.

[anime-scenarios-galore]

May I request a matchup for Bnha, Haikyuu, & Free, please? For Bnha, I would like to be matched with a hero student or pro-hero (no villains, please). I’m a straight female. I’m 5’4” with light brown hair, dark brown eyes, and fair skin. Freckles here and there. I try to stay fit and eat healthy, but I still have some extra baby fat on my stomach and face. I have social anxiety and am shy and nervous around new people. I often worry about how people perceive me because of this. Part 1 of 3

Part 2 of 3 When I get comfortable around someone, I’m very playful, mischievous, affectionate, and loving. I love pulling cute pranks on people (like scaring them, putting stuff on their head, singing obnoxiously loud to annoy them, etc.). I love dumb comedy, and joking around, but my jokes often fall short of being funny! I struggle with anxiety and overthinking, but I’m trying to get better. My hobbies are creative writing, playing outside, and watching shows/movies.

Part 3 of 3 I enjoy playing board games, air hockey, laser tag, water gun fights, pillow fights, tickle fights, play wrestling, picnics, childish games like hide n seek and tag, walks, taking care of animals, zoos, aquariums, and meaningful but playful conversation. My love language is physical touch, and my heart yearns for hand-holding, hugs, cuddles, pats on the head, being held or carried, being tickled, etc. 24/7. I value loyalty, integrity, gentleness, and innocent humor. Thank you!

Oooh,this was a pretty long one,but it’s okay. Huh,looks like we have a lot in common! Anyway,onto the matchups~

-If you were in danger,he would risk everything to save you. It doesn’t matter what the consequences are,he doesn’t care about them. He just wants you to be safe.

-Always has movies at his house,new and old ones,movies you like,etc. He just has them. Just for you.

-Thinks you’re little pranks are cute,but please don’t do it when he’s studying. Or when he’s doing something.

-When he found out you liked board games,he bought a few of them to surprise you. It took him a while to know the basics,though. But anything for you.

-He loves holding your hand,and playing with your hair,especially when you pout and tell him not to.

-He gives you piggy back rides when you ask for them,even if the other members laugh at him or make fun of him.

-Will take you to animal cafes. Cat Cafes,Dog Cafes,Bunny Cafes,all the animal cafes. He spoils you in animals,oof.

Other possible matchup(s): Azumane Asahi

Free! Matchup:

Aww,I match you up with the cutie,Hazuki Nagisa!

Here’s some headcanons~

-Tickle fights all the time. It doesn’t whatever where you two are,he’ll just randomly start a tickle fight.

-Always laughs at your jokes,and often tells you a joke in return. The smile he gives you though when you tell a joke,awwww.

-Cannot help you with staying healthy,he eats junk food all the time. This adorably baby offers you junk food all the time with such an innocent expression.

-Has movies on his phone so you two can watch them anymore,anytime. He’s thoughtful like that.

-He loves having water gun fights with you. If you’re near a pool,he’s gonna tackle you into the pool,and resurface while laughing happily.

-Always pulls pranks on you. It’s always pretty harmless,though. And then he gives you a hug afterwards.

-Hugs you every time he sees you,then either pecks you on the cheek or on the head,or lips if he’s being extra cheeky.

-Takes you out to play laser tag every other weekend. He always targets you,and then runs away if misses.

-Asks you to teach him air hockey so you both can play it. He’s so clumsy,though,but that doesn’t bother him. He just laughs it off.

-If you don’t have anything to do after school,he takes you out to walk around the park or anywhere nearby,really.

-Buys you matching keychains to put on your phones,it’ll be penguins though.

-Doesn’t really know how to help with your social anxiety,so he’s forever bothering Makoto what to do. He always cracks jokes to make you feel better,though,and holds your hand,saying comforting cute things.

-Your dates are always fun and full of laughs and giggles. But there are times when Nagisa gets pouty when another guy flirts with you. It’s so cute,though!

Other possible matchup(s): Shigino Kisumi

[azumaryuuji]

and i know not a lot of ppl ship soumako so here are some of my other works-in-progress. i might have posted these before and deleted them because i’m self-conscious but i’ve decided to just... put my writing out there a little more this year!!

1 – asakisu:

He ignored his sister’s greeting and takes two steps at a time to his temporary accommodation. He slammed the door behind him and immediately slides down to the ground, back against the reliable and most importantly, sturdy door. He digs deep into his pocket and pulls out a slightly wrinkled piece of paper. He tries his best to smooth out the wrinkle and stares at the name card he was given just now. He then stares harder at the name and number that was written right under the printed one. The name that was highlighted with broad strokes simply says, ‘Shigino Kisumi’.

How can those two words possibly encompass the amazing and vibrant man that he had the pleasure of just meeting and spending his entire day with? He drags his hand over his face and looks at the name card again. The name stares back at him, innocently it may seem, but it is anything but.

He grunts and tries to pull himself together. He lifts himself up and tosses the name card onto the desk right beside him. He then flops onto the plush bed face-first and drags a pillow over his head to block out the overhead lights.

How did this even happen? How was he feeling so much for a man he just met?

No one seemed to even hear his desperate questions, and he eventually fell into a deep sleep, exhausted by the events of the day.

2 – harurin/rinharu (??????)

they sat across from each other, sitting in comfortable silence as they picked at their packed lunches. kisumi raises his chopsticks to his mouth when rin suddenly rests his face on his propped up hand, and asks, “you know you have a reputation right?”

kisumi says nothing but stares back at rin, inquisitively.

rin chuckles, “they say that you give really good love advice, and that anyone who asks you for help would get together with the one they liked.”

kisumi raises an eyebrow, “are you asking me for love advice,” he asked.

rin’s face flushed red, looked to his left and to his right, before nodding, all the while looking nowhere at kisumi.

“is it sousuke?”

“what!” rin shouts, drawing attention to the both of them. kisumi giggled and waved his curious classmates away.

rin, seeming to realise that people were staring at them, flushed even more before lowering his voice, “kisumi, what are you even saying? he’s just my best friend.”

kisumi shrugs, “it’s just that you’re such close friends and passionate rivals, i just thought…”

“no! we’re just friends!” rin interrupts. he takes a deep breath before continuing, “…it’s someone i met while i was swimming.”

“so, what do you like about her?” kisumi asked.

rin looks down at his lap and mumbles, “it’s a boy…”

3 – a soulmate au!!!

“I had a crush on him before knowing his name, I fell in love with his idiosyncrasies from afar without knowing his name, I did not know how our relationship would have progressed even after knowing his name. Not all soulmates end up in romantic relationships you know?” she told, matter-of-factly.

His tears seemed to have stop and she smiled, “Baby boy, you’re lucky you know? And please remember your self-worth. You do not have to have a soul mate to be whole. You are your own person, don’t let anyone get in the way of being you.”

A gentle beam of light shone down on them, the heavy rain has finally come to a stop. She stands up from her crouch and reaches a hand towards Kisumi, “Mama’s hungry, want to help her cook?”

Kisumi nodded enthusiastically and placed his tiny hand in hers, before skipping home, feeling lighter than he did just a few minutes ago.

MATCHUP

hi!! i saw your thing about sending you ship requests, so here's mine! i'm 5' 4", korean, and i have shoulder-length dark hair. i wear circle glasses, and i have a terrible prescription. i love to read, listen to classical music, and i'm a foodie! i eat when i'm sad. i'm blunt and direct, along with rather reserved, and i have a hard time letting people get close to me. but, once i do, i love and care for them to no end!!!! i like to dress comfortably (ex. leggings and sweatshirt).

i’m so sorry i just read your rules for your ships and i sent in the description about the korean girl w circle glasses please forgive me … this is for free and BNHA , i am infp-t, ravenclaw, and i am bisexual (i use she/her pronouns). i’m so sorry for not reading the rules before!!

LOOK!! A finally a fricken update lmao I’m finally writing again after procrastinating heh i hate myself thank you for waiting bubba yunseo I hope you like it!!! 

I analysed your character before but now I have more to add lmao!!!

FREE! SHIPS

You are reserved, shy, blunt, comfortable, open-minded and prefer to trust your gut feeling; you’re also thirsty for knowledge and love to learn. Your ability to have an open mind will only lead you to pursue new interests and new genres. When you’re looking for a partner you would probably look for someone accepting or equally open-minded, and probably someone empathetic. I’m not sure bur your reserved personality may bring you lots of outgoing friends, and maybe when you’re looking for a partner, you’d be the listener in the relationship. You’d be great at giving empathetic advice, especially emotional ones since you know, you’d get a feeling of what and what not to say, which IMO is amazing. Looking at your description, you’d be the calm person in the relationship due to your reserved and caring nature, and so you’d probably prefer a louder partner?

ADD+ You’re not confident in yourself, you’re a bit clingy in a relationship you’ll probably want to date someone who can tolerate and understand that. You need your other half to be dependable, understanding and patient.

I ship you with !!

KISUMI SHIGINO

Kisumi is warm, friendly, fun to be with, reliable (in the anime he’s a very strong and supporting friend for Haru and the other boys when they had the whole Ikuya drama), he’s outgoing, patient, caring (him and his little brother TUT sibling goals). However, he is very popular, and has a very active social life- he’ll obviously try to introduce you to his friends, make you go to his gatherings, pout a little if you say no but overall very understanding if you just want to relax after a long day. Due to your very different personalities, you might fight with him a little due to his overly active social life, and while he’s not ready to give up on his social life, both of you will work to find a balance to this relationship. 

Obviously, when he’s with his other friends he won’t reply much but he’ll try to cut down meetings with his friends and try to reply to you when he’s out with other people. If you overcome that first hurdle, you will have a very strong relationship! Of course, Kisumi will spend a night in with you, binge-watching movies and cuddling, ordering uber eats and just listening to you talk. Of course, due to his talkative nature, he’ll be talking a lot too, but yes, you’ll learn how to balance it out in the end. 

Not only that, I feel Kisumi can tolerate your blunt nature (he’s friends with Haru lol) and he’ll definitely be that boy who will talk back, maybe that'll improve your comebacks. Dating Kisumi may be difficult but I feel if you date someone like Kisumi, you’ll learn how to open up and talk about your feelings, learn how to communicate in like a better way instead of being blunt all the time (because you know when you actually go work for other people in the future, being blunt, might not be the best choice haha) I feel like although your relationship might be a little messy and all over the place, you’ll work together to hold it together, and being in that situation allows you to be much more mature, and understanding. 

Additionally, as his girlfriend, you’ll attend at least some of his meetings with his friends and you’ll probably collect a lot of connections thanks to that, or even discover a new hobby or passion you’ll take on later in life. ALSO we know Kisumi likes to meddle in people’s lives so maybe he’ll make you overcome any fear you might have and be super supportive about it. I feel this relationship would be a super supportive and fresh- he’s always thinking about new things to try and do with you, which will only benefit both of you greatly!

Kisumi likes: holding hands, some PDA, eating desserts together, you hanging out with his friends (happily), you being happy, you playing your instrument, you doing taekwondo and kicking some ass like the queen you are, you smiling, hugs!!!, drinking coffee with you

I also ship you with: (more under the cut)

SOUSUKE YAMAZAKI 

Sousuke is calm, quiet, reliable, a great listener, a little bit overprotective, patient, caring and a great mentor. Thanks to him attending a boy’s school, we literally can see how popular he is- my guess is if he was at Iwatobi instead, he would be the king of the school lmao !!! Sousuke is more of an introvert than anything, which I think, you would appreciate since you like staying indoors, he loves relaxing near the pool or with you indoors! 

It is canon that Sousuke is working in a restaurant so he’d probably make you some dishes when you’re doing a stay at home date, or he’ll make you bentos when you have a concert or exam coming up- it’s his way of showing love, kindness and support! Sousuke is also blunt- like you and he doesn’t mind your bluntness at all, if you were to be blunt about his cooking, he’d greatly appreciate it. Sousuke won’t talk a lot, but he’s always there to listen to you rant, he loves it when you’re a little clingy with him, and it gets him into the mood to spoil you. He also loves waking up to you spamming his messenger, and he reads through every message, careful not to miss anything.

 As mentioned, Sousuke is a great mentor and he gives great advice. He listens to you and he’ll try to remain neutral, maybe you won’t be too happy about that but you’ll eventually understand that he’s just trying to remain neutral so he can provide unbiased advice. Not only that, Sousuke also writes you letters sometimes!!! He’d write you a letter during your monthsary and your anniversary, and when you’re feeling under the weather. If you need personal space, he’d be happy to leave you with a letter, some of your favourite snacks, a handmade bento packed to the brim with your favourite dishes. 

BNHA SHIPS

I ship you with !!

MIRIO TOGATA!!!

Mirio is friendly, funny, outgoing, optimistic, energetic, laid back and hardworking. He’s one of the big threes, and he definitely worked hard to be one there and he deserves everything amazing in this world!!! Personally, I think Mirio is an ambivert, he can switch between being an introvert and extrovert, and that is really cool,, which in this case would benefit you greatly since he’d push you to socialise within your quota, but will also reward you with all sorts of cute stay at home dates, where he just solely focuses on you and you only. Mirio may seem confident and all but sometimes, he suffers from self-doubt and low self-confidence, and I feel like you could really encourage him and help him back up again. 

Alternatively, when you’re feeling the same, Mirio would know how to get you back up and make sure you’re okay. Overall, Mirio would be a very laid back boyfriend, and he’d trust you with all his heart. He’d also pull cute pranks on you, or scare you, but he’s doing it with pure intentions only, as he wants you to be happy!!! Because you happy = him happy !! 

Being with Mirio means seeing him working himself too hard, and i feel like your bluntness might just put him in place, and he’d listen. You might spoil him a little after (which he loves), and tell him off (cute). After all of that Mirio would just want to hold you so tightly in his arms, as he takes a short nap with you. 

ALSO !! He’d also introduce you to little Eri, and make sure both of you get along (no problem at all since Eri is a sweet girl), and the three of you would go on amusement park outings? And sometimes you’d get mistaken for being such “sweet parents” or having such a “cute family”, Mirio would tease you afterwards, and wouldn’t deny it if someone asks him if you are his wife- he’d proudly say “yes, isn’t she cute!” Eri would giggle and point out the fact that you are blushing- it’s just such a wholesome relationship tbh!!!

I also ship you with !! 

TSUYU ASUI!!!

Tsuyu is adorable, straightforward, caring, laid back, strong, calm, and is a great source of emotional support (recovery girl)!! Tsuyu is also an ambivert and loves being alone or surrounded by her friends,, She loves being comfortable, which means she appreciates your sense of style. 

Obviously, she’s not the best at showing weakness, which means she’d be the one providing emotional support in this relationship. She’d listen to you rant, and provide you with unbiased advice. (Tsuyu is known for her amazing judgement skills). Of course, you’d start to notice the gap and you’d want her to share her weaknesses with you- it takes time, but it’s not impossible! However, she’d prefer if she was the one doing the listening and advicing instead. 

Not only that, Tsuyu is very attentive so she’d know what to do when you’re feeling meh, she’ll also cook for you sometimes, and bring you to cute and nice restaurants so both of you can just date and chill out. Like you, Tsuyu is blunt and straightforward but she means well. She won’t mince words but she’d make sure she won’t mention any trigger words or events. She’d also make sure you’re okay after that, probably make you some juice and cuddle with you (if you want). I also feel like she’s open to try anything- she’d do anything that would make you happy. Like Mirio’s relationship- this relationship is equally wholesome, supportive and happy!!

Initiative, perseverance, epiphany, and trust (My thoughts on Free! Dive to the Future - Episodes 7 and 8)

So I’m finally back after a long cram session! There were so many emotions and interactions that came to light in the last two episodes, so we have a lot to cover! But first, we see a new face come to the main screen.

This is a little long, but I hope it can be a good ride for y’all!

Starting from the end of episode 6 into the start of episode 7, we officially meet Ryuuji, a wandering former swimmer coach who hates mackerel saunters into Haru’s life through Asahi’s brother-in-law. Other than Makoto, we are the first to see that Haru asks this slightly-scruffy and enigmatic man to coach him (all in exchange for food as payment... oh, how I wished for that kind of bargain to work in real life). 

Now that is initiative. Seeing how the entire series emphasized Haru’s love of water and aloof attitude towards life in general, this is huge. 

Not only that, Haru is getting extra lessons for the sake of Ikuya. Just as Haru’s dear friends saved him back in high school when he was lost and trapped by pressure, Haru is now extending his hand out to help Ikuya in his own way. As we find out just a few minutes later, the fact that Haru is going completely outside of his comfort zone to help a friend shows to us how much he has grown as an individual and as a friend. The current Haru knows the value of friendship, and has come to accept the huge role that friendship has on his ability to swim. We have seen throughout this episode just how strong of a swimmer Haru is, and so we must remember the journey that Haru went through to get to this stage. Although Haru may not know how lonely Ikuya is feeling since he hasn’t had a chance to speak to Ikuya in person (also, how sad is it when someone says that he or she don’t know what friends are anymore?), Haru seems to have realized to a certain extent how his swimming brings light to his friends’ lives. So, as Nao puts it, Haru must help in the best way that he can. 

In life, we’re often told to take initiative of our own lives in order to achieve our goals, whether in our careers or in our personal lives. Not too often do we completely change our regular routine just for a friend, but if a friend is important enough to us, we may be more than willing to do just that. Haru has evolved into a selfless individual who is willing to go above and beyond for his friends, and in this sense he is a great role model for us to look up to. His perseverance in trying to repair his friendship with Ikuya despite the shade thrown at him a few weeks back shows a maturity that many eighteen-year-olds don’t exhibit. Furthermore, the positive attitude that Haru has towards improving his own swimming shows a growth that I am sure many of us anticipated and welcomed, for he is branching out and evolving as a swimmer worthy for the world stage. Once again, this anime is expressing the nuances of adulthood through exploration of new avenues, taking initiative to achieve our goals, and persevering through any challenges that are thrown our way. These concepts are pervasive through much of our lives, including Haru’s, and the massive improvement shown in Haru’s swimming is a testament to all the hard work he put in as he enters uncharted swimming territory for himself and for his dear friend. 

(Before I continue, cue to how cute Kisumi is as he gets bored waiting for his friends to free up time, haha)

(Also, how great is Akane?! Her support for Asahi and his friends in their swimming careers is so endearing. And Tsukushi. OMG can I play with him?! Please don’t kick me in the face though, haha.)

And FINALLY, Asahi and Ikuya meet up, and that is where we first see in Ikuya’s own spoken words how confused and lonely he is. In this interaction, we notice just how much Asahi values his friends, and how he makes these thoughts so obvious to the viewer and to Ikuya. Despite years of not keeping in contact, Asahi views Ikuya as a dear friend, and he trusts Ikuya and the bond they had in middle school. Trust is a concept that Ikuya struggles with, and we could even see this come to light during High Speed! when Ikuya was unwilling to join the medley relay. Ikuya is an individual who wants to trust others from the bottom of his heart, but he also realized that his heart breaks little by little with each separation, starting from his older brother Natsuya. Since he is subconsciously afraid that all those he holds dear to him will leave him one day, Ikuya walled himself off from those around him and holds everyone at arm’s length. This makes Asahi the perfect foil to the current Ikuya, as Asahi’s innate trust in his friends and teammates are the best way for Ikuya to begin to realize that his friends are still there to lift him up. 

Moving beyond Ikuya for just a moment, I want to appreciate the grit that Asahi shows towards his goals in swimming. As we hear from both himself and his sister, Asahi is cutting it close in his events with regards to times. As a former varsity swimmer myself, I know just how nerve-wracking this feeling is, as every millisecond counts in the world of swimming. But despite this, Asahi still keeps his goal to reach the world stage in mind and does not let the slow-but-gradual progress deter him. If anything, his motivation increases with each close shave that he has. For any of you who watched High Speed!, you’ll probably remember the Asahi who was hyper, overly-confident, and who did not have a clue about what self-reflection entails. You’ll probably also remember how Haru’s innate swimming ability literally made Asahi forget how to swim freestyle, and how distraught that made him. Yet, these experiences helped Asahi to mature and develop into the endearing character we know today, as he has grown into a natural leader who knows how to bring out the best in his friends (we have to give credit to Rei for giving him much-needed wise advice back in middle school, but seriously when are they going to meet?!), a more self-reflective but still-humorous individual who is aware of his own weaknesses, and an ever-growing swimmer who has never lost sight of his goals and so never gives up.

NOW WE’LL MOVE TO THE BIG MOMENT! Spoilers for Episode 8 are ahead, so if you haven’t watched yet, definitely watch first :D

Everyone is surprised when Haru and Ikuya are next to each other in the 400 IM. I mean, who wouldn’t be when the aloof main character of the series for 3+ years said that he only swims free?

And so we see Ikuya finally come to the realization that he isn’t alone. Yay, Ikuya! Considering that he is such a fragile person, the fact that Haru has once again saved him is endearing and nearly brought me to tears. 

I mean, this:

And the fact that Haru is a softie who never forgets promises, even though he is sometimes not great at keeping them until several years later:

And this. I nearly cried myself:

I am so happy for Ikuya, and Haru, and all friends who are involved. Everyone who even knows an inkling of the friendship that Haru and Ikuya share know how important this moment is (and just as Asahi says, who cares if Haru lost the IM? They gained a friend back!). 

We also find out just how much Ikuya looks up to Haru as he shares with the entire group what his wish was from the night he and Haru viewed the starry night sky. I mean, Ikuya wants to be a hero like Haru is to him? Just as Haru said, Ikuya is a hero even without realizing it. But above all, the greatest moment for me was when Ikuya remembered what true friendship is, and comes to an epiphany that getting stronger is not something you can achieve purely for your own sake, and that obtaining freedom can only happen when you become stronger for those you love. 

I am positively giddy about how this season is portraying freedom. The meaning of freedom is different for every person. For some, freedom means to be able to choose what you want to do at any point of your life. For others, freedom means that you are not constrained, emotionally or mentally, by the unspoken rules that society places on behavior or thought. In Ikuya’s case, freedom could very well mean the ability to swim with no boundaries for and alongside your trusted friends and loved ones. After all, we see time and time again with this series that any limitation on friendships prevent these characters from swimming at their best.

So with this in mind, we see the old Iwatobi Middle School relay gang get back together, and we see Ikuya return to his old self. 

Ikuya also brings Hiyori back to join the freestyle relay with him. Now if that’s not the greatest progression in character there is this season, I don’t know what is. I mean, the guy who has been moody and who swam alone for the last few years is now swimming with others? What?! I mean, that even threw Hiyori in for a loop.

And Ikuya is back to the same guy who teases Asahi’s habits and periodic idiocy:

I was also so, so touched when Hiyori realizes the power of Haru’s swimming and how it freed him, and when Ikuya remembers the young Hiyori that he met in early childhood. Hopefully we can see a more positive Hiyori in the coming episodes!

(And Natsuya, you so cried. I bet you that Ikuya is his older brother’s hero. What a cute sibling relationship!)

(But seriously, Kisumi, you’re in the wrong anime. You’re even recruiting Hiyori to join the basketball club?!?!)

Anyway, I had a blast with the last two episodes, and I look forward to see where these group of lads go with their newfound realizations, their growing understanding of themselves, and their aspirations in the swimming world.

Above all, we’re glad to have you back, Ikuya! Keep smiling as you did before!

ASK BOX OPEN AGAIN FOR REQUESTS!

It’s nice to open this blog again for requests after being on hiatus for years lol. I’m so looking forward to seeing everyone send something in again. But before you do, please take your time in reading the new rules that I’ve made to get this blog started again. 

Please be specific with your requests. Always never forget to mention if it’s a headcanon or imagines request that you want, the character(s) of your preference and the necessary details needed. However, there is no need to give out too much detail as it limits the writer’s (me) creativity in writing. 

For example, giving out a simple prompt is ok, but detailing out the plot such as the start, middle and end of the story is discouraged.

I still won’t accept NSFW requests as this STRICTLY a SFW blog.

I will only accept up to 5 characters per requests.

Only 5 requests per week will be answered and the rest will be deleted to give everyone else a fair chance. So if your imagine request didn’t make it, always feel free to keep re-sending it once the ask box opens for requests again until it gets answered.

For now, I will only write for the Iwatobi and Samezuka boys and Gou, Seijuurou and Kisumi, since I don’t have too much info on the other guys yet.

I always have the right to deny any request that I don’t feel comfortable writing with.

And I can always add and remove rules whenever I find it necessary.
