mermaid AU, roaring 20s AU, and fake dating AU with Hiei and Dabi too plz? ~nikkzships

@nikkzships sdgsdrhdfgjghjk!!! AHHHHHH!! NIKKI!! I love you so much oml

As a note, I apparently do not know how to ‘just write headcanons’ for these two, and I just straight up started writing bLURBS AHH-

Mermaid AU: Who is the adventurous mermaid who swims a little too close to the shore? Who is the curious human who finds them? Give one headcanon about you and your f/o’s relationship in this AU!

It goes without saying that for this AU, their first meeting(s) would be as wee beans. For those that don’t know what I mean by wee beans, they’re all children. Cause it’s adorable, and that’s how my brain thought these up.

For Hiei, he’d be the mermaid (merman?) and Gabe would be the Human.

Just Hiei being a tsundere little shit, like “No, I’m not getting too close to the Humans! I’m just making sure they won’t find us...” but the section of shore line that Hiei likes to hang out and sunbathe in, also happens to be Gabe’s little hiding spot away from everyone. So one day while Hiei’s laid back on a rock, almost asleep, Gabe stumbles down, rubbing at their eyes, so they don’t see him. As they settle against Hiei’s rock, still not having noticed him, Hiei had noticed them, and the fact that they were upset.

“Why are you crying?”

The question makes Gabe jump, and they start rubbing harder at their face as they stand back up. “I’m sorry, I didn’t think anyone would be here. I’ll leave...” They lower their hands to look at him, and finally notice he’s a merman.

“You don’t have to leave yet. Not til you answer my question first, at least...”

Gabe eventually manages to calm down enough to answer him, “My family don’t like me, and keep calling me a monster...”

“Hn. A Human as pretty as you can’t possibly be a monster.” At Gabe’s smile, Hiei smiles a little too. “I’m Hiei.”

“My name’s Gabe. Will you... be my friend?”

Hiei nods, smiling more.

@junkratsloverat also asked for Mermaid!AU with Dabi, so here you go, Hannah!!

For Dabi, Gabe’s the mermaid.

Touya had been going to that section of beach almost every day for a month, now; It seemed to be ignored by most of the locals, with tall grass and weeds growing right up to the waters edge. He thought he’d heard singing coming from there one day while walking by, and he’d hoped to find the source. Touya had tripped, crying out in surprise as his face met sand, before hearing a splashing sound and silence. Today, he was hoping his luck would change.

As he walked closer, he thought he could hear a melody over the wind. Touya had to force himself to be careful this time, didn’t need to trip and scare them away again. As he crept close, the song got louder and louder, and he could start making out the words the person sung. Passing a large driftwood log, a figure came into view, leaning over a large rock to look down into a tide pool. Their blonde hair gently swayed back and forth as continued their song, watching as a small crab scuttled by a starfish. The red-head leaned forward, putting more of his weight on the log, hoping to get a better look at the singer.

The driftwood let out a creaky groan before moving under Touya, frightening both him and the blonde. The figures head shot up, looking straight at him before pushing themself away from the rock and into the water.

“Wait!” Touya cried out, running towards the rock. The crab had the good sense to scuttle under the crags of the rock, before the human accidentally stepped on him. He jumped up onto it, where the figure had been resting, looking over to try and find them, but there was no sign of them. He sighed, and sat down, catching his breath.

“I just wanted to tell you that I liked your song...”

Hearing nothing but the waves lapping against the rock in response, Touya stood back up and turned to hop off the rock.

“...You liked it?”

The question made Touya jump and whip back around to the water, quickly loosing his balance and falling back into ocean. He felt the burn of the frigged water, followed by arms around him, pulling him back up. He’s set down on the rock, just out of the water.

“Are all humans this accident prone, or is it just you?” the voice joked. Touya opened his eyes, and saw the blonde figure in front of him, still half in the water.

“...Aren’t you cold?” He asked, noticing they weren’t wearing a shirt of any kind.

“Why would I get cold? Do humans not have good circulation? Is that why you wear those fabrics?”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Touya stared at them, confused by their questions. He looked down at the water again, and noticed something shimmering at their waist. “...Are you not human?”

The blonde shook their head. “I’m a mermaid!” A look of guilt shot across their face and they ducked down slightly. “We’re not supposed to let humans know we exist... You promise not to tell anyone, yeah?”

Touya quickly nodded as he grinned. “I promise!”

The blonde grinned back. “I’m ᎶᏗᏰᏒᎥᏋᏝ.” At the sight of Touya’s confused face, they slowly nodded, “You probably can’t pronounce that... Uhhh, you can call me Gabe?”

“And you can call me Touya!”

Roaring 20s AU: Who is new to the city or visiting family in the city? Who’s the wealthy bachelor who notices them at a party? Give one headcanon about you and your f/o’s relationship in this AU! 

Dabi would the wealthy bachelor? With Gabe being new to the city.

Touya had been dragged to the party by Natsuo, who just wanted him to have some fun without their father constantly breathing down his neck. Gabe had also been dragged to the party, by Atsuhiro, so they could make some new friends. So Gabe’s off being a social butterfly with Atsu, and Touya notices them flitting around, and their joy is almost infectious, and he can’t help but go and say hello.

Now for Hiei... He’d be visiting Kurama for one reason or another, and Kurama convinced him to go to the party to loosen up a bit. Hiei’s always constantly stressed, and maybe a bit of light-hearted shenanigans would do him some good. Gabe’s been too busy lately to just relax, and let’s their brother Yusuke convince them to come to the party as well. Yusuke and Kurama are old friends, so of course they introduce the two, and the enjoy the party together.

Fake dating AU: Who has a plan and needs a fake partner to show to their parents or ex? Who begrudgingly agrees? Give one headcanon about you and your f/o’s relationship in this AU! 

In both cases, it’ll be Gabe who needs a partner, cause we already have Hero!Dabi needing the fake partner for that wedding.

Hiei doesn’t understand why the witch would need him to pretend to be their date, Kurama would do a much more convincing job of it. But the longer he thinks about that, the more upset the thought makes him, so he stops thinking about it, and agrees to parade around for their family. The sight of Gabe relaxing in relief has him feeling a certain way, and now he’s confused and slightly worried there’s something wrong with him.

Hiei hasn’t experienced these feelings before, so he goes to talk to Kurama, who would surely know the answer.

“Hiei, you like them.”

“I tolerate their existence.”

“I think you love them.”

“What? No, that’s ridiculous.”

Well, Kurama didn’t have the right answer.

So Hiei goes through the week of Gabe’s family visiting, holding their hand, constantly being near them, and letting Gabe do all the talk as he watched them. On the last day of the visit, it finally clicks that he actually enjoyed being that close to them, and after today, he wouldn’t be able to do that anymore.

And fuck, Kurama was right.

So he goes and tracks them down. Luckily, Gabe’s just chilling in their room, as it’s still early, and they didn’t want to talk with anyone yet. So, true to Hiei fashion, he’s terrible with words, and just goes in for a kiss, hoping that would get his point across.

It does.

For Dabi... Hmm...

Gabe and Dabi would be chilling in a random bar, when in walks a rather attractive looking woman, who smirks when she sees Gabe and starts walking over.

“Ahh, fuck it’s my ex... Uhh... Can you make out with me?”

Dabi almost spits out his drink, “What?”

“Make out with me! I don’t want to deal with her manipulative ass tonight. I will cook you dinner for a month-” Their offer was cut off as Dabi’s fingers lifted their chin towards him, and he moved in to kiss them. Just as Gabe started to kiss back, Dabi felt a tap on his shoulder. He slowly pulled away slightly, just enough to glance at the woman, who was now sporting an offended look on her face.

“Excuse me, can you stop making out with my boyfriend?”

Dabi slowly looked her up and down, before smirking, and pulling Gabe over to straddle his lap. “Sorry, sweetheart, but I think you mean my boyfriend. They broke up with your terrible sense of style ages ago,” and pulled Gabe’s face down to connect with his again. The woman’s best impression of a fish did nothing to break their kiss a second time, leaving her to storm off, spouting off obscenities and threats.

After a minute, and neither could hear her screaming anymore, they parted again, their breathing heavier than expected. “Thanks Dabi. I... Really appreciate that.” Gabe smiled as a tint of red started to creep onto their face.

“Don’t worry about it,” Dabi smiled back, rubbing his thumbs gently on Gabe’s hips where he’d rested them. “I... Uh... wouldn’t mind skipping out on those dinners, if... you wanted to keep making out on a more... romantic basis...?”

Gabe’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah...” and they leaned in to continue their make out session.

Oops, I got carried away again!!

the more unfamiliar i am with the fandom and the characters, the better :)

keep in mind this could double as a roast of some kind!! so be prepared for that!! it’s all in good fun tho :)

[toogayforthistoday]

I almost forgot to show him off when I got him, but seeing as it's our anniversary, here's my chance now!

Excuse the lighting, I'm still waking up, as seen by the giant mug of coffee.

I found him at Hot Topic, and I almost cried when I saw him, then proceeded to carry him around the store clutched to my chest. Then the Sales associate asked if I'd seen the shirts, and I did cry. Cried even more when they didn't have my size, but I got to take home my little gremlin mate 💜

Happy 18th Anniversary, my love

[toogayforthistoday]

🥃 +. Hiei ~nikkz

@nikkzships Oh thank you Nikki!! I haven’t been able to talk about Hiei in a hot minute~

Something a little plain looking, and secretly sweet, just like them!

~ Gabe

Send a 🥃 + F/O and I'll make a drink of my ship using this picrew!

[toogayforthistoday]

So my ita bag progress is going pretty well, but it's looking a little...

Dabi-sided, if you see what I mean.

Not my fault there's barely anything for Hiei and Husk.

Cara mostly has stickers, and all the Hitoshi stuff on Etsy has like 20+$ in shipping up to Canada...

Eh, we'll get there someday

[toogayforthistoday]

💭 for Hiei ~ rebeccaselfships

Hi Rebecca!! Thank you for asking about Hiei!!

So, I headcanon that the Jagan tends to give him severe headaches when he overuses it, so my go-to remedy is a scalp massage. Hiei'll lay on top of me and get comfy as I get to work, and he has fallen asleep on me many times ^^

~ Gabe

Send me a 💭 and I’ll tell you about a headcanon I have about my selfship!

[toogayforthistoday]

I have 3 more kiss prompts do write, two for Cara, and one I’m gonna do for Hiei

But I can’t

Dabi

Brain

Zombie man make brain go brrrrrr

I have the Beef Jerky Serotonin

I am too gay for the Bacon, to function

The thirst is  r e a l

I’ll try and get to them tomorrow, hopefully

[toogayforthistoday]

Am I hyperfocusing on Hiei again because my dumbass remembered that's he's my biggest comfort character that got me through the hell that was my childhood? Maybe.

Am I sorry for the oncoming swamp of Hiei reblogs? Absolutely not.

In slightly related news, my phone has learned to autocorrect Hiei's name correctly very quickly, and I am glad.

[toogayforthistoday]

Okay but also 17 from the Fictional Kisses Prompt List with Hiei! hehehe. ~nikkzships

I JUST FINISHED WRITING THIS AND TUMBLR ATE IT, I HAVE TO WRITE IT AGAIN, AND I NEED A BREAK FROM CARA’S IT TURNED INTO A SHORT FUUUUU-

I HAVEN’T EVEN STARTED DABI’S

@nikkzships NIKKI.

You are going to be the death of me!

17. Height difference kisses where one person has to bend down and the other is on their tippy toes

Hiei stood in front of his mate, tapping his foot as he watched Gabe finish off their ice cream far too slowly for his taste. They had promised him a kiss when they were finished, and his impatience was finally getting to him.

Gabe was more than aware that the small fire demon was waiting, and they had fully planned to fulfill their promise to him... But the vendor had nanaimo bar ice cream, and the witch wanted to savor every bite of the delicious treat. The growing frustration coming from their mate was making it rather difficult to keep a straight face as they ate.

As Gabe finished off the last bite of ice cream, Hiei grabbed the cup, tossed it in the bin, and returned to his previous position before they could blink. Gabe bit their lip, attempting to keep their giggles from slipping out. “Yes mate. What would you like?”

Hiei rose up onto the tips of his toes with a low growl, knowing exactly how it effected his witch. “If you don’t lean over, now, I will climb you like a tree.”

Gabe’s face went red as they leaned down, following their mates command. “You picked that up from Yusuke, didn’t you?”

“Shut up,” he grumbled, finally getting his kiss.

TUMBLR, IF YOU DELETE THIS AGAIN, I’M GONNA CRY

[toogayforthistoday]

Hi Gabe! BOWLING ALLEY CARPET, KANDI, & LED for Hiei ~ wingheroxsunshine

@wingheroxsunshine

Hi Rebecca! Thank you for the ask!! And thank you for indulging me to talk about Hiei!!

Neon Selfship Asks!

BOWLING ALLEY CARPET- What games do you and your F/O play?

Hiei doesn’t like this game, but I play a small game called ‘How fast can I make Hiei blush and/or flustered?’

He always gets me back later though 👀👀👀

KANDI- What’s one sentimental thing you’ve given your F/O?

After we started dating, I gave him one of my mother’s rings. She died just after I came to Japan, and her rings were all I had of her. Because of how important both her rings and Hiei are to me, I thought they should be together.

LED: Who’s more energetic, and how does it affect the relationship?

Hiei is, definitely. It helps when I have low energy days and can’t move too well, and he likes being depended on.

~ Gabe

[toogayforthistoday]

Hi Gabe! rose, dahlia, tulip, marigold, orchid, zinnia, lily, & peony for Hiei ~ wingheroxsunshine

Hi Rebecca! Thank you for asking after Hiei!!

Rose - How many brain cells would you estimate there are between you and your f/o?

Probably about 6? And Kurama has custody of all of them for safety reasons.

Dahlia - What song and/or song lyric do you most associate with your f/o?

‘Iris’ by The Goo Goo Dolls. An oldie, but a goody.

‘And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am’

Tulip - Go to your f/o’s wiki page and quote your favorite part of it.

“ Hiei was only meant to be a starter villain but he was so popular that he became a main character. “

Thank you fandom for your efforts!!

Marigold - What is your favorite picture, video, and/or moment of your f/o?

Just look at him being all adorable!!

Orchid - Is your f/o also your favorite character from their respective media, or is it someone else?

Yeah, Hiei’s my favourite from YYH, followed very closely by Chuu and Jin.

Zinnia - How often do you think about your f/o? Do they live in your head rent free or do you not think about them for months on end before suddenly hyperfixating on them nonstop for a week?

He lives in my head rent free, but he’s in and out all the damn time just like in canon lol.

Lily - What would you say is the color scheme of you and your f/o?

Black and gold, with purple accents.

Peony - How many images, gifs, and videos of your f/o do you have saved to your gallery?

That one’s hard to say, as my gallery’s kind of spread out over 3 computers, 2 laptops, and 4 phones cause I’m lazy. But guesstimating, somewhere in the thousands? That sounds about right, we’ve been together for 17 years after all.

~ Gabe

[toogayforthistoday]

Okay but hear me out... Hiei + Kiss!! (~nikkzships)

@nikkzships

gsdfhsfgj I WAS EXPECTING DABI, I WAS NOT EXPECTING HIEI, THANK YOU NIKKI!!!! *cries in old boi*

Crap, do I remember how to write for him... It’s been over 10 years...

Number Generator says: 40! Finger!

KISSED MEME

“...And Keiko took over the shop from her parents, and by the sounds of things, Yusuke’s gonna join her.” Gabe droned on, filling in their mate on the things he’d missed on his rotation in Demon world. Returning lost humans to their own world was a never ending, but well needed job, and Hiei was rather good at it.

He watched contently as his human continued to ramble on about their friends as they chopped the vegetables for their first dinner together in months. Gabe always made too much on his returns, but his mate was all too aware of the kind of food that was provided to those working the border, so Hiei wasn’t about to complain. The smell currently coming from the wok made his mouth water.

“I heard Kurama was stationed with you for a while. How has he been?” Gabe looked up from the water chestnuts they were cutting, smiling at the fire demon. “His mother wrote a few weeks ago asking about him, and I wanted to know too. I haven’t seen him in a year.”

“He’s fine, love. It’s the fox. If he hasn’t called his mother, that’s none of my business.” Hiei eyed the chestnuts they were still cutting as they looked at him. “Now pay attention to what you’re doing, your going to-”

“Fuck!”

“-Hurt yourself.” He sighed as Gabe brought their finger to their mouth, sucking at the cut. “Told you.” He chuckled as they blew a raspberry in his direction before turning to the sink to wash their finger.

“You know where the first aid kit is, love. Quit pointing it out and go be useful.” Hiei grabbed the little red bag off the top of the fridge, and pulled Gabe over to a stool to sit them down to dutifully wrap the injured finger.

“There. Hopefully this will teach you to be careful. Your big, strong mate won’t always be here to patch you up.” Hiei brought Gabe’s hand up to his face, gently pressing his lips to the bandage. They could feel their face heat up as they smiled at him.

“That’s why I only get myself hurt when you’re around.” Hiei rolled his eyes as he scoffed in disbelief.

“Stupid human.”
