kenma kozume x reader (fem)

some drabbles on your rivals to lovers relationship with kenma !

words: 1.4k

warnings/tw: all characters are 18+, college AU(?), mean! kenma, enemies to lovers, and some suggestive themes.

a/n: I just needed to write about kenma being mean to you and you being mean back, if you want I can make a smut version as well... heavily inspired by the Netflix series "The Beef", made me cry sm . like, comment, re-blog ily ! don't copy my work . not proofread .

★ As soon as he met you he despised you . He couldn't stand the sound of your annoying ass voice, all he wanted was to sit in peace . Usually he doesn't mind being around loud people but you... You pissed him off for some reason, he never wanted to be around you.

"I don't think Kenma likes me..." you whispered in Kuroo's ear. You started to sense Kenma rolling his eyes at you and scoffing every time you spoke. He annoyed you, if he had something to say, you wanted him to say it to your face .

It was so obvious you were talking about Kenma, he sat in front of you and Kuroo. You talked so loud, you couldn't even whisper silently, it irked Kenma even more.

"You're fine Y/n, everyone loves you," Kuroo reassured, patting your back, gently.

Kenma furrowed his eyebrows as he played his game. Yeah right, he can't even stand you. He would never be able to like someone so childish and annoying...

★ He hates the fact that all of his friends adored you. He knows damn well they only like you because you are somewhat attractive. He knows what you are thinking when you show up to their practices in skirts and tank tops, he knows that you're just there because you're a slut .

"Stop distracting our team, just get out of here... We don't want you here anyway," Kenma mumbled, sweat dripping from his forehead.

To be fair, you were kind of distracting Kuroo and Lev by talking to them whenever they got the chance to speak with you. But still! It infuriated you that Kenma worded it like that, it was rude!

"No need to be rude Kenma, I'm here to support my friends," you retorted, crossing your arms. you've about had it with him, you know he doesn't like you. And it pisses you off because you did nothing!

★ Kenma loathed the way his friends talk about you any chance they get. You are a cute girl, those boys just can't help themselves. Still, it makes Kenma frustrated.

"Y/n is so sweet, she made me some brownies today," Kuroo swooned. Kuroo had a little thing for you, you weren't aware of this but all of the boys knew.

"Oh yeah? Well she's planning to wear my jersey the next time we have a game," Yaku teased.

"She said she'll be cheering for me at the next game too. Only me," Lev added, punching Kuroo's shoulder playfully.

Kuroo started to visibly sulk.

"...I hate you guys... She won't be doing any of that, she's going to-"

"Can you guys please shut up? I'm tired of hearing about Y/n, that's all you guys ever talk about. It's annoying," Kenma said, his eyes glued to his phone.

★ Finally, you confronted him at a party in front of everyone. After that day, the two of you HATED each other, or so you thought. You could never see yourself being friends with him, ever.

"What the hell is your problem?! You spilled that drink on me on purpose!" you yelled, very angry at the situation. You were embarrassed, everyone saw, it made you feel like crying. You had issues when it came to having everyone pay attention to you. You only liked being around your group of friends, not the whole damn party.

Kenma did spill his drink on you but it wasn't on purpose, it was a simple accident. He bumped into you as you were dancing with Kuroo and Bokuto, causing his cup to spill on your clothes. Still, he found it amusing when he saw you get angry at the situation, so he did not apologize or even acknowledge you until you called him out.

"I didn't do it on purpose so..."

"Yes you did!" you exclaimed, Kuroo held on to your shoulder, trying to calm you down.

"Let's calm down y/n," Kuroo tried to say.

"Stop trying to defend her idiotic ways. She can handle things herself, she's not a damn baby," Kenma commented, feeling more aggravated

Kenma pinched his eyebrows together.

"What did I ever do to you?! Seriously! You're always so mean for no reason! I knew you didn't like me but holy fuck, spilling a drink on me is a bit much!"

"So bothersome... I'm going to tell you this once. I. Did. Not. You fucking idi-"

Slap!

★ After the whole slap situation Kenma saw you in a different light kind of... He still hated your guts but he did notice how strong and confident you were. He couldn't help but admire some of the good aspects of you. So instead of dreading you, he openly speaks to you, only making rude comments of course. And you did not hold back either.

"What should I wear to Akaashi's party?" you asked, showing off a few outfits to Kuroo and Bokuto. The men sat on the floor, they loved listening to your rants and their favorite thing to do is tell you what to wear.

"The black skirt is cute," Bokuto said, pointing at the skirt in your left hand.

"No way! I like the dress, it always shows off your natural curves," Kuroo added, giving you a sly wink.

You giggled at their suggestions, Kuroo and Bokuto were your favorite friends.

Kenma groaned, bored of the conversation, he was dragged there because he is Kuroo's best friend so he was forced to go wherever he went.

"Do you have an issue?" you asked, sassily, placing your hands on your hips.

"Your voice is so damn annoying,"

You pretended to gasp, gripping your chest. "How mean Kenma!... Is what I would say if I cared. I didn't even want you here so please refrain from making any unnecessary comments,"

Kenma rolled his eyes at your bratty attitude.

★ You two banter all the time, some would consider it flirting but you never saw it in that way. Mutual disrespect for each other... Yeah, only mutual disrespect.

You whined, begging Kuroo not to leave you with Kenma. He was on his way to class, if he went to class, you'd be left with Kenma.

"Please Tetsuro!" you begged, giving him the best puppy eyes you could. "Stay! Skip class! Please!!"

Kuroo smiled, he loved seeing your bratty side, it excited him. "You know I can't n/n, just stay with Kenma, I'll be done in an hour,"

You groaned. Kenma cocked his eyebrow at you.

"Trust me, I'm not happy either," he mumbled, his hands shoved deep into his sweatshirt pockets.

"Oh of course you are Kenma! I know you're in love with me, you love being around me!" you cheered, sarcastically.

Kenma visibly gagged, causing Kuroo to laugh.

★ Eventually though... The two of you were forced to be around each other more, creating an unusual bond. You both don't directly hate each other, you just don't have a super stable friendship. But! You guys can be with each other without having the mean tension.

"Sup bitch, have you seen Kuroo?" you asked, placing your legs on Kenma's lap.

He shoved them off him instantly.

"Disgusting. And I don't know where he is, I think he went to grab some snacks for movie night,"

You hummed to yourself. A happy tune was in your mind and you couldn't help but hum.

"Can you hum quieter? Holy shit, so annoying," Kenma said, pulling his own hair. Obviously he was joking.

And with him saying that, you hummed as loud as you could.

★ Uh oh... Why did he have to walk in on you changing your clothes... That just made some things weird between you two...

"Idiot, where are you-"

Your face burned with embarrassment, you were in the middle of removing your shirt in your room. Why the hell did he have to come in right now?!

The two of you just stared at each other... In complete silence, unsure how to break the awkward tension.

Luckily, Kenma slammed the door shut.

"What the fuck," he thought, taking a deep breath. "No fucking way..." he continued thinking, looking down at his pants.

Kuroo ran to the scene, worried about the door being slammed.

"What's up with you? Oh shit man you have a boner," Kuroo commented, pointing at his pants.

"No shit!"

You heard the whole conversation, shaking your head, wishing you didn't hear anything.

★ After that the two of you just teased each other, meanly, sometimes being harsh. And actually started building a friendship, not a friendly one though.

"Slut,"

"Pervert,"

"You wanted me to walk in on you," Kenma yawned, placing his hands behind his head.

The two of you were currently walking through the hallways, planning to meet up with Kuroo. This was the first time you guys spoke about the situation. It made your cheeks burn thinking about it. But... It made Kenma feel other things.

"Shut up! You probably were spying on me! You wanted to see me like that,"

Kenma shrugged. "I still think you wanted me to walk in on you,". He faked a gasp "Are you in love with me?!"

"You wish," you rolled your eyes.

That's all I have for now... Maybe I'll make a part 2, just wanted to drabble some scenarios :x

When did Astruc say Adrien was lame for being feminine? I thought he welcomed the gender nonconforming headcanon? Or writing a lame character that Marinette being exceptional would like? I thought he was canonically popular with girls (and boys haha). Are there tweets I missed?

Oh, no, this isn't based on tweets. This is based on things in the show.

If you pay attention, a lot of characters criticize Adrien for being passive, not standing up for himself and being too emotional. I'm a media analyst, so I'm pretty good at spotting patterns in shows, and Adrien being criticized for his feminine attributes is a pattern, alright.

First we get these comments from Gabriel, but, we assume we're meant to disagree because Gabriel is abusive and the main villain, but then other characters get in on it.

Félix, during his arc from villain to hero, repeatedly criticizes Adrien for all of these things, and isn't exactly refuted by anyone. Félix is morally gray at this point, though, so a lot of people take whatever he says with a grain of salt. However, it should also be noted that Félix, after his debut, is the writers' pet who always succeeds in whatever he does, so we can't be too sure that the writers disagree with whatever he says.

Then come the actual characters no one can refute we're supposed to agree with. Kagami criticizes Adrien for not standing up to Gabriel and Félix more. A heroic character, who has repeatedly given valuable advice to our leads, is saying this, so we're inclined to agree. When Adrien agrees with her, the show is telling us that this (Kagami accusing Adrien of being too passive) was good advice.

What really solidifies this is Adrien himself being made to say it. That stuff in Kuro Neko about how he's too emotional and too sensitive. That's Adrien saying the parts of him that are girl-coded are wrong because they cause Ladybug trouble. And Ladybug treats this as fact. She doesn't say she agrees, but she does instantly soften towards him and accept him back into the team after he says it, implying her agreement with the statements.

Astruc doesn't need to say anything. He's the most unsubtle creator I've seen and the show speaks for him.

But, if it's direct quotes you want, the writers' commentary tells us that the reason Adrien isn't in the finale is because he's the 'princess' in their fairytale, they call him the "princess sleeping in her tower". So they're replicating sexist story tropes about "sleeping princesses" with no agency in their stories but just reversing the genders. Sounds like adrien's girl-coding specifically being the excuse the writers use to diminish his role to me!

[snippychicke]

Hello I hope you're fine!

I would like to make a Kuro/Reader writing proposal (a little NSFW is always welcome of course).

I imagine being in a relationship with Klahadore for a while now, Kaya is used to you coming home after his work day to find yourself in his room with him. He didn't think he was in love but finally he reconsiders his plans so as not to hurt you because you are the only person he has never trusted. Of course he's in love but he doesn't realize it because he's never been one before.

(PS: sorry for my English, I hope you understand me anyway!)

Thank you so much anon! I really hope I catch what you were going for. I appreciate and admire you for asking! Especially since English is not your first, I only wish I could be multilingual like you! 

Klahadore realizing that he loves you without realizing he *loves* you. 

You had been the gardener for Kaya's family estate for some time. You kept the place looking picturesque, and Klahadore admired not only the dedication it took, but your attention to detail. 

Then after a while and getting to know you through small moments through the day, he began to admire you as well.

Kaya notices, and starts requesting more time out in the gardens, especially when you're working. She expected a bit of a struggle in her matchmaking plans, but is delighted to see that you two quickly fall into a camaraderie when together.  

Things start to complicate when a heat wave rolls over the island. Kaya's 'poor health' doesn't tolerate the heat well, so she mainly stays in bed, allowing Klahadore more freedom than usual. 

He notices that you are still stubbornly working through the hottest part of the day, and insists you come inside to cool down. You're not used to someone fussing over you, so you insist if you take a break, he must as well. 

It becomes routine after the first few times that in the hot afternoon, you come inside for a break and he joins you. (Kaya is very excited and insists she is fine. This is also when Usopp starts taking advantage and steals time with Kaya, but I digress.) 

Klahadore starts looking forward to spending time with you, uncaring that every day the small break grows a little bit longer. Talking with you is nothing like his interactions with Kaya or Shem and Buchi. He feels like he is able to relax around you, venting some of his burdens just as you vent your own to him. His smiles are actually more genuine as you swap stories, and just hearing you laugh makes him chuckle.

He trusts you, he realizes one day. Not completely, but you definitely hold more of his trust than anyone else had before. And with it comes a need to protect you. You're special to him, and he doesn't want anything to happen to you. 

A storm rolls in unexpectedly one afternoon, causing you to take shelter in the manor. As it rages into the evening, both Klahadore and Kaya insist you stay the night. There is plenty of room, and clothes for you to borrow. 

(Klahadore also might have noticed how your clothes were plastered to you after the downpour before you changed into a borrowed outfit. It may have stuck with him all evening as well.)

If he happens to pay you special attention through supper, it's merely because you're a guest. Not because he enjoys seeing you flustered from being waited upon or anything. 

He also uses the excuse that the manor is large and rather like a maze as he waits outside the large clothing room as you pick out something to sleep in. How else are you to find where the guest bedroom is? 

Except when you step out in your chosen outfit, sleep is the last thing on his mind. A shower and a change into some elegant night clothes…

Well, he had acknowledged he had been somewhat attracted to you before, but seeing you like this realizes how much. He's actually speechless for a moment.

To the point you tease him: 'Cat got your tongue?'

It just opens up a new realm of possibilities. 

Klahadore lays on the charm as he escorts you to the guest room, your arms wrapped in his as he enjoys making you blush just by lowering his voice slightly. 

Once you arrive, he does the whole kiss-on-the-hand while he bids you goodnight. 

Flirting with you is like a game of cat and mouse to him. And he loves it. It's a different kind of hunt, teasing touches and glances. Maybe an unexpected innuendo just to watch you react. 

To his surprise and delight, you cave and act first. You boldly grab his tie and pull him close for a kiss after his hand lingered at the small of your back the entire walk to the small sitting room you often took your break in. It's a small kiss, but he takes the chance and kisses your rather firmly until you're completely out of breath. 

Things quickly heat up after your first kiss. 

Kaya notices and unknowingly helps Klahadore with his cover as she encourages the two to spend time together. 

Kaya even insists that you should move into the manor, just because it's so big and empty, and you do such a great job that free housing seems appropriate. 

And if the fact your room ended up next to Klahdore's is just a coincidence. So are any odd noises and thumps in the middle of the night. 

Buchi and Shem have their suspicions but assume it's part of the plan.

Unknown to them, while Kuro sees them as disposable in the long run and has an inclination that after his plan for Kaya comes to fruition they will be more troublesome than what they'd be worth, you are far more valuable and becoming more important every day. 

The moments he holds you in his arms brings him the peace and security he had been looking for, and he'd do anything to keep it. 

[moe-broey]

Meanwhile, Book ??? and a half, in the far off floating islands of........ uh............ I wasn't paying attention. Sorry. There's a Yggdrasil here, too, though. Unrelated to the one in Zenith. Yeah, apparently these things are fucking everywhere.

Our Heroes, The Order of Heroes, no wait, uh. The Goat Grabbers -- no, still not right. The Dandelion Guild. They're here. On a mission. What mission? Fuck if I know.

Their leader seems to be this very serious young man. But is he the leader, actually...? He may just be the most responsible one. His name is Alfonse. Kind at heart, happy to help others, but tends to keep to himself (...... mostly.)

Joined at the hip, always at his heels, is his younger sister, Sharena! Vibrant and upbeat, she's such a joy to talk to! She's only a little bit odd. But she's so utterly charming, so fun and friendly, you pay it no mind. She truly is the life of the party!

Going from upbeat to offbeat, we have this fucking guy. It seems friendly enough... it's just. Weird. And has an attitude problem. A bit crude, too. That troublesome little creature is named Moe -- and the sheep is Kuro. It's always trailing behind either of the siblings, like a shadow.

Now, who will be our f2p girlie our guide, for this unspecified Book? It's Elanorre! A forest spirit of sorts, a practitioner of arcane earth magic, and an aspiring scholar of The Labyrinth... she has a bit of trouble expressing herself, but don't let that fool you. She's extremely passionate about her work. Just. In a very monotone voice.

(plus a little illust of her!!!)

And for our final team member, to properly fill out a party of five... we're gonna need all the help we can get, after all... what's this? It's Veronica WITH A GUN (WHO GAVE HER THAT?????)

That said, party members of the Dandelion Guild seem to come and go. It's just those three (Alfonse, Sharena, and Moe), who are always together.

Regardless! Onward! Into the Labyrinth!!!

Kuro (Kuroo Tetsuro x Reader)

Friendly reminder that English is not my first language. You can check my Masterlists both in English and Polish here. Consider supporting me on Ko-fi. You can also check out my commissions if you’re interested.

Other oneshots can be found here.

ᴀᴅᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ɪɴꜰᴏʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ: 1. ᴋᴜʀᴏ ᴍᴇᴀɴꜱ ʙʟᴀᴄᴋ. ɪᴛ'ꜱ ꜱᴏʀᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴀ ᴠᴇʀʙᴀʟ ɢᴀᴍᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʜɪꜱ ꜱʜᴏᴛ.

[Reader] dialed Kuroo's number again, ignoring the cat that was pawing at her leg.

Raindrops slowly appeared on the sidewalk. However, all you had to do was look above the two large skyscrapers to see that a downpour was coming.

— Great. All I need right now — she muttered.

The girl did not have an umbrella with her. She knew she couldn't wait any longer for the captain of the volleyball team. The prospect of a cold did not encourage her to make any sacrifices.

She looked at the black kitten. He didn't have a collar and yet he didn't behave like a stray cat. He was clean. Moreover, he had been trying to get her attention for several minutes.

— I won't leave you in the rain — she said, taking it into her arms. — Just don't bite me, please.

— I'm back! - [Reader] announced, putting away her shoes.

She was dripping wet and wished she could change her clothes.

— Why so early? — a voice rang out in the living room. — And whose cat is this? — The older brother looked at the animal suspiciously.

— I was waiting for Kuroo-kun but he didn't come. And the cat... I stumbled upon him on road... — she finished uncertainly. — Tomorrow I'll put out ads, maybe someone is looking for him.

She knew she would have to hide the new tenant in the room. Parents were reluctant to see this type of friends at home.

— Maybe the captain finally realized that you were into him and ran away in fear... — the boy laughed.

The cat meowed loudly, almost making the girl drop her bowl.

— Very funny! — She hit her brother on the shoulder with the milk bottle. — Maybe something happened to him? He had an accident or...

— I'm sure with his reflexes it's hard to get hit by a car. I'm off to class. — He ruffled her hair.

[Reader] locked the apartment, then went to the bedroom.

— Well, kuro, no more wet clothes.

She took out pants and a loose T-shirt from the closet with the intention of changing her clothes. However, she was stopped by the animal's strange reaction. He stared at her with large brown eyes in disbelief. The girl assumed she guessed his name because he seemed to understand it was about him. Once she decided to lift her wet sweater, he turned his tail towards her. It was as if he had no intention of spying.

— Don't you want milk? — She walked over and scraped the bowl. — Maybe you're bored? — She threw a ball of paper.

The cat's first instinct was to catch the rustling object. After a while, however, as if embarrassed, he left it.

[Reader] glanced at the smartphone screen.

From: Kozume Kenma

The last time I saw him, he was leaving to see you. His battery is probably dead because he doesn't answer. I'll ask the guys and see if he came home. We'll be in touch.

— Maybe he found out about the chocolates and didn't want to upset me? Although it's not really his style... On the other hand, now it's not just the whole school that's following him... Rather, the whole prefecture... He's probably already got piles of homemade sweets and I'd go out with the ready-made ones from the store... If he ignored me on purpose, it's probably for the best. — She lay down on the bed.

Kuro meowed before jumping onto the freshly laundered sheets. The girl frowned at the brown streaks. She was going to have to play with bleach.

The animal placed its fluffy paw on her thigh. She scratched him behind the ear, earning him a purr of satisfaction. The sound was like the faint roar of a car.

— I don't have a basket, so you sleep with me. — She took the cat for a nap.

At first he struggled slightly but after the third attempt he gave up.

He fell asleep, cuddled up next to his temporary owner.

The girl rubbed her eye. She was woken up by the strange sound of quiet chewing. Even more strangely, her right arm seemed to be covered with something heavy.

— Are you awake yet? — A familiar voice reached his ear.

She looked towards it and found the owner. It was none other than Kuroo Tetsurō.

— Why do we sleep in the same bed? — she asked.

It seemed incredibly stupid to her right after she said it out loud.

— I was a cat and once I turned back into a human, you weren't going to let go of my hand while you were sleeping — he replied as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

— Let's assume it sounds rational... Why are you covered in chocolate?

— I was hungry and there were chocolates on the bedside table. They were technically mine anyway, so I guess it doesn't bother you. — He wiped the corner of his mouth. — Just for the record, not every girl is into me. And even if they were, none of them is you...

[Reader] blushed. Trying to process everything at once was too much for her.

— I guess we have a lot to talk about...

Boyfriend dabi vs cat

Summary- you bring home a cat and dabi fights for your attention with the cat... Content- fluff + jealous dabi?? Dabi x gn reader

"I'm home!" You yell only to be met with silence as you searched for your boyfriend to show him a surprise you found in an alleyway.

Checking every room untill you manage to make your way towards the bedroom you both share. Opening the door you peaked inside,stilling holding the cat gently in your other arm. "Babe?" You scanned the room and found him laying on the bed facing upwards with his arm over his head. "Hm?" He hummed still not facing you as you smiled and closed the door.

"I've got something for you." He hummed again not looking sounding a bit intrigued but annoyed at the same time "it better not be another pair of endeavor shirts to annoy me because I swear-" he paused when he noticed the little fluff ball in your arms. Your face was sparkling with happiness as his was threaded with terror as if you just brought home some exotic animal.

Hugging the cat tighter to your chest made his blood boil for second as he looked at your face "isn't he just the cutest?! Let's keep him and name him,ok?" The cat had black fur "how about kuro? Yeah well name him kuro!" (Kuro also means black in Japanese in case you didn't know)

Depsite your excitement dabi just couldn't believe what he was seeing. Someone, no some little creature was in his house basically violating his beautiful s/o and all while he has to watch it with his own eyes. This was his home and some little firball just comes in unannounced and tried to one up him with his spot of being your number 1.

"Dabi?" After some time of silence from him he didn't notice he was quiet as he had to come up with soemthing to say  "oh,yeah,yeah! Kuro sounds nice I guess. Where did you find him?"

You stopped holding kuro to let him down as he climbed on the bed with dabi " in an alleyway." Dabi's face went back to being distraught. So not only did you bring home a cat but a stray as well?! "Why? I mean couldn't you have left him?"

You crossed your arms looking at him rolling your eyes "dabi,didn't you used to be the same? Remember I found you in an alleyway bleeding and helped you?" He groaned under his breath at the fact you were right. But he didn't want you to be right,he didn't want the cat in his house under your touch and being so near you. He wanted the cat out!

And yes,he knows it's silly to be jealous of a cat but he couldnt help it when eventually he was right, kuro had you under his little paw. For the next few weeks you mostly spent all your time looking after kuro and taking care of him more than dabi. You didn't notice it and didn't mean to do it,you've just always always a soft spot for animals and got a little... carried away with kuro.

"Why are you sulking?" You were on the couch next to dabi with kuro laid peacefully in your lap. "Is it because of kuro again?" He didnt say anything but glared down at the cat as you sighed. "Stop being such a baby,kuro is just a cat he needs attention as well."

He didn't respond again. "Really, a silent treatment?" You let out another sigh as you picked up kuro and placed him down on dabi's lap. "Fine,you may not talk to me now,but you will get along with kuro!"

You said with a final look and walked away towards the kitchen as dabi just looked down at the cat. Kuro swayed his tail and looked up at dabi with the most adorable eyes he's ever seen. Kuro mowed at dabi tail stoll swaying as dabj scrunched up his face. "I don't even see why she likes you so much." Placing the remote down,dabi picked up the cat and exaimed him moving moving hands.

"Sure you're soft and cute looking but that's all you can do. I can do so much more than you can. You little... fur-ball!" Dabi said placing the cat back down and getting up. "That's it,I'm over this whole look after you thing. Imma send you away without them knowing."

He got up but was halted when he felt a little fluf on his leg as he looked down he could see the cat rubbing his leg and purring. "What the- get off!" But kuro wouldn't budge so he picked up the cat and stated at his eyes.

"What? What do you want with me?!" He yelled a bit as the cat was still purring and tail swaying with glee as dabu was slowly breaking. "Damn,why are you actually so-" he stopped himself "no! I can't fall for this,this is what got her so whipped with you but-"

Of course he stared again and found that he couldn't resist anymore. All his anger went away as he walked into the kitchen holding kuro.

"Oh hey,dinner is almost read-" you turned around to see him holding kuro and you nearly died. Did it work?! You thought as you smiled.

"This is my new support system." You smiled and laughed "ok." He came closer "no I'm serious,I'm now in love with this cat and we'll rule the world together." You smiled not knowing what to say as he kept going "I'll burn the people while kuro will scratch!" You wore a concerned face now as you patted his shoulder.

"Dabi,babe,wouldn't that be painful?"

"Only to the people"

tw❗: none

" y/n-chan! let's go on a date today, " kaoru says as he wraps an arm around your shoulder. how long has this fake relationship been going? you promised to help him get rid of the other girls he usually go on dates with by being in a fake lovers relationship so the other girls would understand and back off, yet some girls can't get that message and still bother the poor man. heck you can't even defend this guy if he still have their numbers.

" tch, leave her alone man. she promised to stay in school for some producer work with another unit, " koga interrupts as he grabbed kaoru by the arm. " and you're not going anywhere till undead finally practices! " koga shouts as he slowly drags kaoru away from you.

" but- y/n-chan!!! " kaoru calls but you ignored and continue on your way.

seriously that guy...

" why can't I get him out of my head, " you whisper to which keito hears from across the table, you both sat in. you were with akatsuki today. helping the unit out with their new dance and other stuff for their next live.

" get who out? " keito questions, catching souma's and koru's attention as they too sat around the table in the room.

" hmm who? " you replied.

" don't play dumb, you said something. " keito tried once more.

" kaoru, " you said.

" what? did that marine life club disgrace do something to l/n-dono!? " as souma stood up, kuro held out his hand to calm souma down.

" no it's not like that hahaha my apologies, well. how should I put this... " you explained to them everything about the fake relationship.

" ah but I think I'm... "

" you're falling in love? " kuro finishes up, leaving the group in shock.

" I'll slash him up if he does anything to l/n-dono! " souma declared.

" it's fine hahaha, " you sweat dropped.

" well if that's the case, I can only hope for the best for you, " keito says as he then calls akatsuki practice for the day finished.

after bidding them goodbye, you went by the gates and caught sight of the blonde. he smiles upon seeing your approaching figure.

" hello, my lady. let's go shall we? " kaoru greets.

" go where? I kinda have alot to do today, " you say as you walk past him.

Feelings for Ichigen-sama

LIST OF CHAPTERS

[Translation under the cut]

Saya: Beat the eggs, add broth, mirin and water. …Like this?

Saya: Then pour the contents into a preheated frying pan. Set the heat to low.

Saya: While checking the eggs are cooking, roll them up…

Saya: The Tamagoyaki (omelette) is ready. Let's have a little taste.

Saya: …Uhm. I think it came out pretty good. But not as good as Kuro-kun's…

Saya: (All the side dishes for lunch are ready, I'll leave after they cool down a bit)

Saya: (Since I started going to the supermarket with Kuro-kun, I feel like I'm getting better at cooking)

Saya: (I'll try my best to cook more complicated dishes)

Saya: (It's finally lunchtime…I'm really hungry, but I think it's because I was nervous about the test result.

Saya: Huh, you're alone, Kuro-kun? Where's Shiro-kun and the others?

Kuroh: Neko was called out because of the test. Shiro accompanies her.

Saya: Called out…Could it be because of the test result….

Kuroh: Probably. Instead of raging like that, she should have worked harder from the beginning.

Kuroh: How were your grades?

Saya: They were perfect. Thanks to Kuro-kun.

Kuroh: I see, that's great.

Saya: …Kuro-kun had bad ones? You look kinda depressed.

Kuroh: …I shifted some of the answers on my history test by one box…

Kuroh: It helped that there were only five questions. I can't help but regret that what should have been a correct answer turned out to be an incorrect one. It was an unfortunate mistake.

Saya: Woah, that's shocking…

Saya: Um, in order to change your mood, why don't we go to a cafe near the supermarket today?

Saya: I wanted to thank you for tutoring me how to study…Is that a bad idea?

Kuroh: Sorry. Thanks for your offer. …I have something I need to do.

Kuroh: The reason for the failure was a lack of attention and concentration. I must train further…

Saya: I see, what a pity…

Saya: Um, I don't know if this can serve as a thank you, but, here, if you like…

Kuroh: Tamagoyaki?

Saya: The Tamagoyaki that Kuro-kun made at the cherry-blossom viewing was so delicious that I remembered the taste and tried to make it.

Saya: It's still not as good as Kuro-kun's, though…

Kuroh: I see. I'll accept it gratefully.

Saya: …

Saya: …How is the taste?

Kuroh: Uhm, I think it tastes good. But with a few more little tweaks, it should be more delisious.

Saya: (I knew I didn't reach Kuro-kun's taste at all…)

Kuroh: I myself used many eggs and spent many years until I learned how to make it.

Kuroh: Cooking is like studying, it's all about accumulation. Keep up the efforts.

Saya: Can I feed you sometimes?

Kuroh: Umh, of course.

Saya: That's great. I'll do my best to make you say it tastes even better next time!

Kuroh: …I wonder if Ichigen-sama also felt this way.

Saya: What about the principal?

Kuroh: I once said something similar to Ichigen-sama. "I'll get good at it, just watch me".

Kuroh: I'm not even close to that man…But after hearing your words, I feel like I'm getting a little bit closer to him.

Kuroh: Thanks, Konohana.

Saya: I-It's my pleasure…

Saya: (When he stare straight at me like this, my heart starting to beat fast…)

Saya: You really respect the principal, Kuro-kun.

Kuroh: Uhm, that's right. I know it's a little presumptuous of me to put it into words, but he is truly a wonderful man.

Kuroh: My feelings for Ichigen-sama higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea.

Kuroh: Ah…! Sorry. I have a habit of getting excited when it comes to Ichigen-sama….

Kuroh: Anyway…For me, Miwa Ichigen-sama is my parent and mentor in life.

Saya: I see…I only met the principal on my first day here, so I don't know what kind of person he is.

Saya: He had a very nice smile. It was a friendly atmosphere that made me feel confident about joining this school.

Kuroh: Right, right! Ichigen-sama is like a spring that gently melts the snow. Your observasion is amazing!

Saya: T-Thanks…

Saya: Em, Kuro-kun. Can you let go of my hand…

Shiro: …Kuro, why are you holding her hand?

Saya: Shiro-kun, Neko-chan.

Neko: Kurosuke, what are you doing holding Gohan's hand?

Shiro: Kuro is a pervert, so you better beware, okay?

Saya: Pervert…

Kuroh: Agh…! It's a misunderstanding, I have no ulterior motives!

Shiro: Who knows. It's suspicious.

Neko: Suspi-icious~!

Neko: Ah! Gohan's lunch looks delicious! Give me a bite!

Saya: Uhm, okay.

Shiro: Well, me too.

Kuroh: Don't eat is so hungrily, you two. She'll be left with nothing.

Neko: Noisy! Shut up, you pervert.

Kuroh: Don't call me a pervert!

My issues with Kuro Neko

So this post has been long overdue so I figured I finally said it. I’ve been thinking that the way Chat Noir has been treated in S4 episode Kuro Neko has been incredibly unfair. I know we are in season 5 now, but my grievances about Kuro Neko needed to be said. This is really just me ranting

I had a lot to say about Kuro Neko. The most egregious thing the narrative did in Kuro Neko was how Chat giving up his ring was framed as him being heartbroken over Ladybug.

To go into detail, the narrative uses Plagg as a mouthpiece to say that the reason Chat gave up his ring was because he was upset since he’s in love with Ladybug and not getting enough attention from her. I hated that the episode framed it as that when the real reason was because obviously he was being neglected as Ladybug’s equal and partner. Like this should be obvious right? I’m not just speaking out of my ass?

Plagg literally says it here:

(also this is from YouTube, so the captions are autogenerated)

Like I’m pretty sure Chat Noir was upset not because he’s in love with LB, but because he was being sidelined constantly and not being kept in the loop as a partner should. The fact that Alya knew more about the Miraculous at this point in S4 and about the Miracle box in general is just baffling to me. This does eventually get addressed in Strike Back where Ladybug admits to Chat Noir that she was being a bad Guardian and keeping secrets from him after having had losing all the Miraculous because of Felix.

Anyways, now Ladybug is under the impression that Chat left because of his romantic feelings towards her. So what ends up happening? Marinette has to look for another candidate to take the ring, someone that won’t be in love with her so that there won’t be any problems in their partnership. My dude, that was never the real issue to begin with. I guarantee that if Ladybug did the same neglectful bullshit that she did with Chat, with a new partner, that new guy would have the exact same complaints Chat had all along. Complaints like “why am I being pushed off to the side, why am I not being made aware of all this important Miraculous info, why is Ladybug bossing me around, instead of treating me like her equal, you know, as she should?” (But that doesn’t matter anymore because the new guy ended up being Chat in a different costume anyway. And Ladybug ended up wanting Chat back. Sooo...)

The key lesson here from Kuro Neko is that any self-respecting individual would understandably feel resentful and upset at being pushed to the side and kept out of the loop of important matters that concern them too. Not just because the individual is in love with the person who is doing the sidelining. A person is allowed to feel upset and angry if they’re being left out, especially if the information they’re being left out of is highly important to them too. And if that person is being kept in the dark, it might end up negatively affecting them.

This is what’s happening to Chat. The fact that Ladybug is not only neglecting her partnership with Chat, but also leaving out important Miraculous and Guardian-related information, information that is crucial to him as well. If Ladybug had used her Guardianship duties as an opportunity to not only become closer to Chat as partners, but also free her of the stress of dealing with it alone, we would not have the issue of Chat renouncing his ring.

This same issue occurred in the S2 episode Syren where Master Fu was still unknown to Chat but Ladybug knew of him. Ladybug was bound by Fu to keep secrets from Chat then too. When Chat found this out he threatened to renounce his ring then as well. Adrien salters will justify this as an excuse to say “no wonder Fu didn’t reveal his existence yet to Chat given how much of a hissy fit Chat threw over not being trusted with secrets that he wasn’t ready to know yet.” This is the reason salters give. Unbelievable.

So now we have Ladybug in S4 repeating Fu’s mistakes. Ladybug knew keeping secrets from Chat then was a problem so why oh why did she keep doing that in S4? Keeping secrets from your partner never ends well!

Anyways, I ended up going on a tangent here.

Here’s a TL;DR - basically Kuro Neko was not a good episode because of the narrative’s treatment of Chat Noir. They essentially treated his reasonable depression being caused by him being heartbroken over Ladybug, and not because obviously he was being neglected as Ladybug’s partner and equal.

Relationship: Futaba Saotome/Aoi/Kuro/OC

Prompt(s): Multiamory March: Cuddling and Art from @polyamships; OCxCanon Week: Day 7 - Modern AU from @theocxcanonweek

Summary: Whenever Aoi struggled with his art, his partners made their best to help him.

@voltagefandomproject

AO3 Link / Ayakashi Masterlist / Main Masterlist

“Rinka!” Aoi protested as his girlfriend practically dragged him to get a taxi. “I really have to finish my schoolwork.”

“Yeah? It didn’t look like you were making much progress.” She laughed, pulling him into the vehicle. “I might not know much about art, but I know it is mostly made of feelings. So I think a nice break will actually help you. Plus, a change of scenario always helps too.”

Rinka was always so attentive. Aoi had tried changes of scenario before, but maybe, if she knew somewhere different, that could be what he needed.

That somewhere ended up being all the way out of town - Aoi complained that Rinka was spending too much money on that trip, plus the fact that Rinka hated being in a car and put herself in a situation of panic on purpose, all for him, but she quickly dismissed it - and then they had to walk through a patch of forest, until they arrived in a meadow full of flowers, where their other partners were waiting with a picnic already set up.

“Ao! Rin!” Kuro almost jumped on them, dragging both into a crushing hug. “You’re right on time.”

“Let them breathe, Kuro.” Futaba chuckled from behind him.

“But I like this.” Kuro laughed, only briefly releasing Rinka to pull Futaba into the hug too."

“Kuro!” Aoi protested, squirming in his boyfriend’s hold, face burning.

Took a moment long for Kuro to finally release them, not without giving each a kiss on the cheek, making Aoi even redder.

“Rinka called us and said you were struggling with your assignment from art school. We thought some food and a new scenario would help.” Futaba smiled, pulling him to the picnic blanket.

“I helped Fu cook, since Rinka was busy.”

All of his partners were too sweet, going out of their way to help him. Aoi really felt less worried when he was with them.

And the scenery was really beautiful, something you would rarely see so close to the city. With various kinds of colorful flowers. Almost looked like a place from a dream.

The picnic ended with the four of them cuddling on the blanket, with Futaba and Kuro on each side of him, Kuro resting his head on Aoi’s shoulder and Futaba snuggling into his chest. Rinka was on Kuro’s other side, but she had reached over to hold his hand.

“Are you feeling better now?” Futaba asked, looking up at him.

“Yes. I think I needed some fresh air. Thank you.”

Fresh new scenery, good food and time with the people he loved. That was exactly what he had needed. Aoi already had a pretty good image of what he wanted to paint, now. Not only for school, but something he wanted to make as a surprise to his partners.

Any other time, he would have gotten to work right away, but the little that he moved, the other three tightened their hold on him.

Aoi wasn’t used to being in the middle of the cuddling group, but he liked the warmth, and even the soft weights on his body didn’t bother. Maybe he was even craving that warmth, although he rarely had the courage to ask.

Not that he had to. Surprisingly, whenever he was craving their touch and one of them was around, they seemed to know. The one who was closest or with the most free time would cuddle up to him for as long as they could. And he loved that. He loved these people like he never expected to, at least not all of them at once.

Aoi stayed in their embrace and talked to them until he was sure Futaba and Kura had fallen asleep, before gently sneaking out of the pile, Rinka kissing him and taking his place as he went to paint.

As he looked back, Aoi couldn’t help but smile. The scene of his partners cuddling together in that field of flowers was the most beautiful art he could see. A surprise for them would be his first order of business as soon as his school project was finished.

Prim and Proper Problems Ch 13

The kids stood in place. They were now trapped inside of the school. But at least they were inside, so now they could try and find a way to fix Yuri and Kaylo. "Now then. Let's get you enrolled in your classes so that you may become perfect children." She said, before spotting Kuro, Fortie, and Shiro inside of Emma's bag. She forcefully took the bag and pulled the Tim and Negati out. "Toys are NOT permitted here young lady." She spat "And certainly not hideous pieces of scrap like these." She said in distain.

The kids protested, trying to reach for the three of them, when she put them in a chute that read "Trash Incinerator." She huffed when she saw the children's enraged, and heartbroken faces "How could you?!" Mei shouted. Madame Prim however didn't seem to like her tone "Young Lady! It is improper to shout. Honestly, it seems like children have no respect for their elders these days." She said, rolling her eyes

Emma tearfully glared at her "NO DUH!! You just destroyed them! And-" she was cut off when Madame Prim gave her a hard slap on her cheek "NOW ENOUGH OF THAT. What's done is done. And its improper for a girl to disobey those older than her. Now hurry up so we can fix all of you." She huffed as she continued on. Leo came to Emma's aid as she carressed the cheek that Madame Prim slapped, while other the kids stayed near the incinerator, hoping that Kuro Shiro and Fortie were alright.

The three of them were falling down the chute on their way to the incinerator. Fortie let out a loud yell as Shiro began frantically flapping her wing puffs. Kuro grabbed on to her as she slowly ascended upwards, but Fortie was still almost touching the flames of the incinerator. The flames burnt his butt as he let out a loud, pained yell, jumping back up the chute, and into the vent above. Poor Fortie rubbed his burnt backside while Kuro and Shiro landed beside him. He let out a sigh of relief before the three of them began traversing the many vents of the school

Meanwhile, the kids were waiting until Madame Prim was a good enough distance away from them, so that they could explore on their own. After they could no longer hear her voice, the kids wandered the drab, and depressing walls of the school. Leo cringed at the classes that taught girls how to behave in front of a boy...and said boy was terrified out of his mind by the emotionless girls. Emma felt a shiver up her spine when she spotted a few girls learning about proper table etiquette,, however the girls looked tired, they were chained to the tables, and the teacher had a very strict look on her face.

The more classes that the kids saw, the more they felt terrified, and the more they felt sorry for what Yuri and Kaylo had to go through. "This makes me feel happy that I go to Timeville Public..." Trisha Jane shivered. Cass felt herself hiding behind Leo before they passed room that read "Headmistress Office" ...and it sounded like Madame Prim was talking to someone. Rebecca pressed her ear to the door to listen in on the conversation "...So what if she's struggling? Just knock her out. Put her in the truck. And bring her back so that I may perfect her." They heard.

"I know that Misère is an old woman now, but there's no time like the present." She said. The kids gasped, Prim had somehow found Misère, and now she was bringing her back. The sound of an intercom was heard "Attention Students. Today is a very joyous day for our academy. For we have finally found the runaway imperfect student. Misère Au Bonheur." Said Madame Prim over the intercom.

The students "cheered" at the announcement as she continued "Yes. Very soon, Misère will finally be able to graduate from PPP with flying colors. Also. Can Miss Dolly, Delila, and Delancy come to the office please?" She finished. The kids looked horrified, until Haoyu tensed up "I hear something! Quick! Hide!" He panicked. The kids quickly dove behind and into the furniture, as three sets of walking sounds were heard. "We're Here Madame." They heard. Emma peeked out and saw the three girls from the first introduction to the school walk inside the office.

The children pressed their ears up against the door again so they could hear what Madame Prim was talking about "...And how are we with the new selections?" They heard Madame Prim say "We have selected 5 girls from Timeville Public. Emma Cole, Cass Milligan, Mei Hualing, Rebecca Reynolds, and Trisha Jane Postrado." One of the girls said.

"Very Good. I take it they're friends with out latest...graduates?" Madame Prim asked. "Yes Madame." Another girl said. "OK. No matter. We'll just plant the evidence on them, like we did with Miss Brand, and Miss Bruno." Madame Prim said. The kids were shocked. No wonder it looked like Kaylo and Yuri did something! They were FRAMED for it! "Dolly Dear? Do you still have those false scar stickers?" Madame Prim asked "Of Course Madame." The girl named "Dolly" said.

"Excellent. We'll schedule another trip to Timeville for next week so we can enact out "Disciplinary Action."" Madame Prim said. "Madame Prim! We're returning to the School." A voice from a walkie talkie said. "Excellent! I'll be out there to see you to helping the wayward runaway. You girls are free to return to your classes." Madame Prim said. "Yes Madame. Thank you Madame." The girls said. The sounds of footsteps made the kids go into hiding again. The kids heard the door shut, and then the sound of a lock clicking, indicating that Madame Prim locked it shut.

The footsteps faded away as the kids got out of hiding again. When they could no longer hear it, Haoyu jiggled the doorknob, hoping that it wasn't THAT locked, unfortunately, it was..."What do we do now?" Cass asked. That's when they heard a familiar sound that made them all light up

The Perfect Explanation

A fic for @kayssweetdreams . This will take place in Part 15 of her Prim and Proper Problems fic. Like yesterday's fic, Leo and the others didn't get caught in this one.

With everyone gathered around in the Balan Theatre, the group exchanged worried looks to each other. "Mei, do tell us what you've uncovered," Balan said. "What is it that you have discovered?"

"I found this," Mei sat down the large suitcase in front of the two maestros and the Inhabitants. She opened it up to reveal loads of Perfection Cash inside. Everyone gasped at the sight, looks of confusion and suspicion flashing on their faces.

Jose, however, had a different look on his face. It was as though he had seen this before. "Jose, is something wrong?" Emma asked.

"I'd recognized that cash like the back of my hand," Jose replied, grabbing everyone's attention. "That Madame Prim used this to try paying my sweet boy to go to that school of hers. According my son, this was how she paid parents to send their children to her school."

"She was paying families with fake cash to send their kids to her school!?" Leo asked, stunned. "Why would she do that!? I bet she pays the staff and guards with fake cash too."

"It's highly likely, Leo," Cal guessed. "But this just leaves more questions than answers." His gaze perked when he saw Shiro open up a document. Cal picked it up and looked through everything. His eyes widened at what he discovered.

"What did you see, Cal?" Lucy asked, growing concerned.

"There's lots of restraining orders in this folder." Cal looked through every single one of them. "This Madame Prim was reported to have gone to these families' houses where she would leave numerous flyers at their doorstep or in their mailboxes as well as try to bribe the families with fake cash." He looked at a list of the families that filed for a restraining order. "There's even a list of the families right here. And…most of them aren't even from Timeville."

"Aria came over to my place earlier," Leo said. "Her parents also filed a restraining order against Madame Prim. It got to the point that she and her parents had to move." At this, Aria nodded.

"Madame Prim is up to something," Lance said. "It's hard to tell what other problems she will bring."

"Aria, since your parents had gone to high school with Madame Prim, think we can ask them about her?" Leo asked. "Is it okay if I bring Emma over?"

"Fine by me," Aria said to Leo. "Hopefully, from my parents' point of view, we'll finally be able to get some answers."

Kuro pulled out two things for the maestros to see. It was both the blueprints and the letter. Upon reading this, the maestros had suspicious looks on their faces.

"We should have seen this coming; Madame Prim isn't doing this alone," Balan said, showing everyone the letter. "It seems as though she has a secret ally of her own."

"Now, I have a few questions," Trisha Jane asked. "Who sent Madame Prim this letter? Why is this person helping them? And does this person know that Madame Prim is carrying fake cash?"

"Those are good questions," Emma said. "Leo, when we head to Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery's house, we have to let them know what we discovered."

Leo nodded in determination.

Now was the time to get the answers they needed.

Cats & Ships-- Chapter Nine

Will fancy up later. Again.

Captain Kuro knew that once he and his crew returned to Maple Town a few weeks later that there could be several possible outcomes, and had plans for each one. Thankfully, the situation seemed to be more favorable as most of the town was still receptive to their presence. And having a tentative ally in an entire town could be very beneficial. Or so he reasoned as he threatened his crew to behave themselves while on shore. Having a port they could return to that wouldn’t alert the marines, who were indebted to them, who was willing to take stolen treasure and exchange it for stacks of berries or other goods and services could be a boon to them.

But one thing he had not planned for, had not expected in the least bit, was seeing Kaya sitting at the Mazer Tavern, deep in conversation with you. He couldn’t even appreciate the smile you had when you first saw him shortly before you realized the situation yourself.

Kaya caught the expression on your face as you paled, and looked behind her. You could cut the tension in the air with a knife, time itself seemed hesitant with moving forward.

Surprise melted into burning fury and hatred, and Kuro clenched his fists as he stared at the waif of a child that had ruined his plans. Everything he had worked towards for those three years, biting his tongue and going against his very nature with the self-imposed servitude, all of that failing because of her.

You suddenly stepped between him and Kaya, breaking his train of thought, as well as the spiraling anger. Your face was sympathetic, but he could see a hint of caution and determination in your eyes. “Please, let’s keep things civil. Or, at least non-violent.”

Kuro took a breath as he straightened. He had told his crew to behave themselves, he needed to hold to that as well. He schooled his expression, embracing that coldness to quench the rage burning as he strode across the tavern and took a seat a few places away from Kaya, pointedly ignoring her. “My usual, please.”

You hesitantly complied, glancing between the two before ducking into the back. Silence hung heavily once more, the faint movement of Kaya fiddling with her own glass visible from the corner of his eye as he studied the wall behind the bar decorated with various wanted posters.

He noted his own with the word ‘dead’ harshly marked out, leaving just the words ‘Wanted: Alive’ above his bounty (quite hefty, considering he had returned from the dead.) Had you done that recently, or back when you had admitted you worried for his safety?

Either way, it was a visual reminder that he had something to lose. Something other than his life or his freedom.

You shortly returned with the tea, as well as a refill for Kaya. (Juice? Or something with alcohol in it? It seemed odd to think of her drinking any type of hard beverage.) After a moment, he watched amused as you poured yourself a shot and downed it with soft swear.

Kaya chuckled at the sight as well, which almost broke the tense silence. Almost.

“God, I didn’t know silence could be this painful,” You stated a moment later. “Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take it over something… worse, it’s just…” You trailed off, unsure how to express yourself.

Kaya apparently took it as a challenge and swiveled in her seat to face him, the movement catching his attention. He had to admit, she looked different from when he last saw her.

(Cowering in fear, those dark eyes wide and full of fear. He had strangled any regret or pity and had focused on the anger as he raised his Cat Claws. This would be the last death. His life would be safe with her demise. His ultimate plan is finally coming to fruition.)

She was stronger, a hard glint in eyes that were once so soft and watery. Determination unlike he had ever seen before settled into her stance. (Why was he almost proud of that fact?)

“How have you been?” She asked, her voice no longer soft and whiny, but firm yet kind.

Despite himself, Kuro scoffed as he sipped his tea. “Alive.” What else was there to say? What else could he say without risking his next attempt at escaping the life of a pirate?

“I see,” Kaya responded slowly after another moment of silence. “I admit, I was quite surprised when I learned you survived and had returned to piracy.”

Kuro watched as you poured a second shot, apparently thinking the first one had not been enough. He gestured towards you, and quickly had a small glass of the clear liquid. He preferred wine to the sharp bite of what he presumed was moonshine (of all things, why that? You had a vast array of different choices.) But he wasn’t about to complain.

(He was completely too soft when it came to you, and hoped no one else had noticed.)

Once the burn was eased with another sip of tea, Kuro looked back at his once-ward. “Yes, well. My options were rather limited at the time. As much as I detest it, I am rather skilled at being a pirate.” Before she could push back, and he could see the argument in her eyes, he continued: “As for you, how do you find your new path of becoming a doctor?”

There was no holding back the sneer in his voice at the term. He still found it hard to believe the sheltered child knew what was in store for her as a doctor. She probably thought of being settled at the patient's bedside, soothing common colds and treating simple infections.

Not covered in someone else’s blood. He had seen doctors yell for people to hold their patient down as they sawed at a ruined leg that had been destroyed by a cannonball. Having to choose between which patient to treat, and which to let nature take its course.

He couldn’t see Kaya in that situation.

The young woman looked away, focusing on her own drink. “It’s been more difficult than expected, but I’m enjoying the challenge. I was actually just recounting the trip to the town’s hospital and being able to watch surgeries being performed. If I was able to bring that knowledge back to Syrup Village, it could do a lot of good.”

Or he could be surprised. Kuro blamed the moonshine as he felt another twinge of respect for the young woman, but had to admit she had certainly grown from the frail thing he had cared for. “Hmph. I suppose that fool Usopp has been trailing you like a lost dog.”

A fond smile she wore every time the young man was mentioned bloomed on her lips, though there was a hint of sadness as well. “Actually, he went with Luffy on the ship I gave them-- the Going Merry. See, you can make out the back of his head there in the corner,” Kaya gestured to the wall of wanted posters. The strawhat pirate grinned brashly in his picture, but Kuro focused on where Kaya was gesturing.

Hell, she was right. There was no mistaking the boy’s back; how many times had he snuck up on Usopp while the teen was spinning his lies to Kaya?

“I guess that proves nothing is impossible,” he grumbled. Not only had Luffy defied his expectations, but so had Usopp.

Damn brats.

“He’ll send me letters when he can,” she continued on, sounding far too much like the dreaming girl he once knew. “The village postmaster will forward them to the university. Last I knew, they’re heading for the Grand Line after a stop in Logue Town.”

Kuro scoffed, even if he believed anything Usopp wrote, going to the Grand Line was a foolish mistake. They were still little more than children playing pirates, even if they had supposedly taken on Arlong’s crew and triumphed as the rumors claimed.

Granted, the fact Luffy carried a thirty-million berry bounty on his head at such a young age proved that even the marines saw him as a threat. (It did ease his wounded pride some as well.)

The relative peace of the tavern ended as the doors opened and most of his crew poured in, rowdy as ever as they greeted both their captain and their favorite barmaid. Kuro sighed, both thankful for the distraction and annoyed that he had lost his chance at a moment with you in relative peace. As it waz, you shot him a soft look before hurrying to tend to his crew.

(He didn't feel jealous at all as Jango wrapped his arm around your shoulders in a side hug. How and when did you two become close?)

He had both expected and hoped Kaya would take the chance to end the awkward peace and disappear from the Tavern, but instead she slipped into the seat next to his.

Her dark eyes were hard as he looked at her, surprised. “Look, Klahadore--”

“Kuro,” he insisted. He didn’t mind you calling him by that alias, but from Kaya’s lips it sharply kindled his anger.

“Fine, Kuro,” She repeated. “I’m not forgiving you--”

“--nor do I expect or want your forgiveness.”

His interruption struck a nerve, and he saw a flash of pain in her eyes. But with a deep breath it was gone, replaced once more with seriousness. “But we do have a common friend, and I am willing to tolerate you for her sake. And I do not care how foolish it sounds, but if you betray her I shall call on what connections I have to hunt you down.”

Kuro’s first instinct was to grip her throat and snarl at her impudence. She dared to threaten him? Did she think that she had anything to do with his failure back at Syrup Village?

His fingers clenched as he held back the urge, however. Because she was unfortunately partially correct. You would not take kindly to him killing Kaya. Plus it would likely only complicate things, and he refused to have her ruin two of his plans.

“You’re right, it does sound foolish,” he stated plainly, forcing himself to look away from the young woman. “Luckily for you, I have no such intent.”

“Good. Because-- god knows why-- she’s fond of you. Even though she was essentially ostracized from the village just because you had befriended her. At first I was saddened to hear that she was working in a tavern after everything, but she seems quite happy.”

Kuro ignored Kaya and looked to where you were chatting with Jango and some of the others while setting down their drinks. You were happy…

And wearing the necklace he had sent, the dark obsidian cat catching the light where it rested against your chest. Quietly but pointedly marking you as part of his for those who knew.

Betray you? Kuro doubted that he could do that now. He could betray everyone else, wipe out his entire crew and the village without a moment of remorse. But you? Just the thought made him feel ill.

He wanted you safe. Wanted you by his side because he trusted you not to ever slip a knife into his ribs at the first convience.

okayokayokayokay i know he has one scene but to honour your pfp tell me about catwalker— some of these questions ask things that are non applicable, so let's just pretend, right, that catwalker had more than 12 minutes of screentime :D

25, 26, and 16 plz

∠( :3 」∠)＿

so I thought of this headcanon today, remembered I had this ask in my drafts, and considering I am on a high octane ladywalker kick rn, I thought this would be a good exercise before writing. is it a faux pas to answer a months-old ask like this. I hope you can forgive me if so!!!

izy I'd lay down my life for you tbh you're so sweet. thank you for indulging me hehe

when do you think they acted the most ooc

I'd say anytime they let their emotions, especially jealousy or depression, get in the way of being what Ladybug needs. so lets say: when he becomes a little too comfortable and begins to let his chat-like romanticism through

when do you think they were being "themselves" the most?

on a joking note: when he rolls around on the grass to attract the attention of kuro neko

on a srs note: definitely when they have their final talk in kuro neko <3 <3 my beloved

a childhood headcanon:

the steadfast tin soldier was their (second if you count the fact emilie told him about chat noir) favorite fairytale and they looooooved the pictures. something about the "imperfections" in both of the soldier and their ballerina lover, the inexplicable fate of their meetings, and let's just consider the following wording: "a wind blows the ballerina into the fire with him; she is consumed by it." do u see my ladywalker vision here

....does witch hat atelier count as a mg since it's witches or it it too fantasy world to be one? either way it slaps

Delicious Party PreCure has its moments but it's not my fav season or anything. I wish I had time for more anime this year, but unfortunately I've been working overtime.

Can I say Glitter and Guilt? Because there's published webcomic pages now

utena is the best show ive watched in a long time i love picking it apart and even tough its super dark and hard to watch the visuals and everything is amazing i love the movie the most its so surreal and dreamy this is all entirely expected bc i love twin peaks and theyre a very similar niche

I really really liked Madoka side story, but I watched yuki yuna and was really pleasantly surprised by it!

Free comment field for gushing about something that didn’t fit the other topics:

uhh watch lego monkie kid its like a magical girl show but about a boy

Keeping it to series i more or less saw this 2022 but i really wanna praise waccha primagi tho its more of an idol series than magical girl the magic is every present in the show and i love the great myamu sama the ending moved me to tears.

saint tail remaster bless discotek

Obsessed with the Shugo Chara Wonderland merch that released earlier this year.

Was fascinated how some of the dress up collection dresses made a comeback in the DeliPre series. For example when Kokone was shown wearing Rikka's blue gown.

Watching Vampire in the Garden (a non mahou show) has given me ideas for making a magical girl OC with clothes based on Imperial Russia. You can never have too many OCs!

all the merch and new content for the early-mid 2000's shows and manga has got me really excited! like, of course we got the Tokyo Mew Mew reboot, but there's been new merch and art for Shugo Chara, Mermaid Melody has that sequal series being released, and even Saint Tail has gotten some stuff. It makes me hopeful that other manga besides Mew Mew will also get the same love and attention!

power of friendship is the shit and somehow mg shows make it not cheesy but good good

The Mascots and Recipepes in Delicious Party Precure are so cute!! I also liked the addition of Rosemary and BlackPepper/Takumi.

Hmmm I really liked some magical girl webcomics I was reading, like Cloudy Wondrous and Captian Jellyfish

I love Takumi from DeliPaPre, he's such a dork and its very endearing how he tries to be a cool Tuxedo Mask type but sometimes forgets his Cool Guy persona bc "omg its yui" lol

Complaint time!

Gushing Over Magical Girls should be good. i like the designs but too horny for the age of everyone

Mew Mint's henshin was a major downgrade from the original

The adaptation of Magia Record was such a disappointment! It undid the happy ending of the game and killed of several characters for shock value!

I finally got around to watching all of Day Break Illusion and GOD it started out really cool and interesting, but than it decided to just get BAD bad a bit after the half way mark. Lots of missed potential.

WHY CAN'T WE GET ANY MAHOU MOBILE GAMES IN ENGLISH EVERY TIME I SEE GAME CHARACTERS ON MGOTD I WANT THEM BUT THEY'RE ALWAYS DISCONTINUED OR SOMETHING Also Miraculous Ladybug is a trainwreck

i watched a lot of older and darker mg shows this year and i really dont like the saturation of designs that exist now also there arent newer medium dark shows that ive heard its either for kids or everyone dies i like both but not as the only option

How easily I fall out of a Precure season. Delicious Party I think is the furthest I've ever gotten

yuis lack of a personality in delipre

The 4th cures design and general costume of delipre didnt really live up to the food theme.

Honestly I really hate how delicious party precure is pushing stress eating as a good thing.

Delicious Party Precure seemed to have TOO many themes at the same time and didn't feel as cohesive as other teams to me.

Hmm I tried watching some of the later entries in precure (tropical rouge and delipre) and I simply couldn’t get into any of them :/ I also tried watching flip flappers again and simply couldn’t get through it again -_- it was uncomfortable to watch

Mahou plans and hopes for 2023:

That the new precure series will be aesthetic af

I'm always excited for the next Precure!

im hoping this years precure has an angel theme and there will be more cyber inspired designs in general i find them fun and good for diversity also ive started the sailor moon anime i read the manga when i was a little kid but ive never watched it

To like the new season of precure and for Magilumere to keep going

Super excited for Hirogaru Sky!! And Mew New season 2

I hope the new precure season uses the duo formula again, and a more pastel color palette. Also looking forward to the new Sailor Moon movie!

I hope the next precure season is better than DeliParty, and I also hope for a Primagi season 2! Just more new original stories would be nice.

lesbians

new original series.

I'm really looking forward to Mahou Shoujo Magical Foghters and In/Spectre season 2!! Gonna watch those weekly!

Learn to take things off the backburner

God I wish I could design magical girls

Hopefully I’ll be able to get my current project going (webcomic)

More magical girl stuff in general, and less fighting among fans over ships and the grimdark vs. standard genres

Thanks to everyone who took part!

Raffle winners have been contacted. I’ll wait... let’s say a week in case people are busy doing something else over the holidays than browsing tumblr, and if there’s no response I’ll pick a different winner.

Kitty Mayhem au (3)

It was just another normal day in the Izuki household.

Akito was out doing so errands and Mari was taking a nap in her room. As for Kitty!KK and his Kitty!Team, they were having a meeting in the living room.

They were talking about their curse and the fact it might be finally fading away!

It was just a feeling at this point, but both Kitty!KK and his Kitty!Team have been feeling different lately. A sign that maybe the curse was almost over and done with!

Kitty!Erika looks around at the older members and asks how they were going to explain everything to Akito and Mari when they turned back into humans?

Kitty!KK honestly was wondering the same thing...

Kitty!KK suddenly goes still. His Kitty!Team also goes still.

"What's that smell? It smells like something is burning..." Kitty!Erika looks around, trying to locate the smell when they heard yells coming from Mari's room.

The Kitty!Squad all look over to the girl's room, and to their collective horror, see smoke coming from under Mari's door!

"Mari!" Kitty!Erika darts over to the door and starts scratching at it wildly, yowling at the girl inside.

But it was useless, Kitty!Erika and the others were just small cats, they couldn't do anything to help Mari!

Or could they...

Kitty!KK looks down at his tiny paw for a moment. "Maybe..."

He holds out his paw and swipes it down. to his shock, a single etheral weaving line shoots out and damages the door enough for someone human size to crawl through!

"Erika!" Kitty!Rinko shouts as Kitty!Erika darts through the opening and toward Mari, who was coughing on the floor.

Kitty!KK and the rest of the Kitty!Team follows Kitty!Erika's lead and surrounds Mari, nudging her toward the hole in her door.

"Mari! M- *cough* Mari where are you?!" Kitty!KK's ears perk up when he hears Akito's voice. He yowls loudly to get the young man's attention.

Akito, hearing the noise and seeing smoke coming from Mari's room, runs over. He didn't even question why there was a big hole in Mari's door, he just drops to his knees and drags the coughing girl out of her buring room.

Akito, with Mari in his arms and kitties at his heels, runs out his now burning home.

Outside he's greeted by worried neighbours who noticed the fire and first responders who were called by the worried neighbours.

"KK!" Kitty!KK looks to Kitty!Rinko, and to his shock, sees she was glowing faintly. Actually, Kitty!KK and his whole Kitty!Team were glowing!

The curse! It was fading away!

"Shit! We need to leave!" Kitty!KK didn't want to think about how people would react to cats suddenly turning into humans!

"But- but what about Mari and Akito?" Kitty!Erika ears were drooping sadly. She glanced worriedly at Mari, who was now being loaded into an ambulance.

"No time!" Before Kitty!KK and his Kitty!Team could leave, a voice stops them. "Kuro?"

Kitty!KK and his Kitty!Team stiffens, slowly turning around to see Akito staring at them.

Seeing how he had his glowing kitty's attention, Akito gets down on his knees and slowly reaches out to Kitty!KK, petting his head with a thoughtful look on his face.

Kuro... You and your friends... None of you are actually cats, are you?"

Kitty!KK nods, looking away as he curled in on himself.

This was it. Akito was going to hate them...

Kitty!KK lets out a surprised meow when Akito plucks him off the ground and playfully boops his nose. "I'm not mad. Yeah, I would've like to have known you guys weren't really cats, ut you helped saved Mari, so I think that more than makes up for that."

Kitty!Erika moves closer to Akito, placing a tiny paw on his knee and lets out a sad meow when glancing over at the ambulance that was now leaving for the hospital.

Akito smiles weakly, saying Mari was going to fine.

Suddenly, the kitties began to glow a little brighter, proving the curse was almost gone.

Despite wanting to stay in Akito's arms a little longer, Kitty!KK knew it wasn't a good idea. So he squirms until Akito places him back on the ground.

Kitty!KK gives Akito a sad meow before looking away and motioning for his Kitty!Team to follow him.

Before they made it too far, Akito calls out to them. "Will you come back to visit me and Mari?"

Of course they'll come back to visit!

Kitty!KK in particular couldn't wait to come back to see Akito once he was fully human again! He had so much to say, to show! He'll charm Akito like he did as a kitty and win him over again in no time!
