#gai would be gryff keeper and kakashi claw chaser so rivals

[x-authorship-x]

Not me reading about the whole Kisame-Shisui thing "He's from Konoha but he's so Kiri"/"He's from Kiri but he's so Konohan" and imagining some sort of Hogwarts AU where Shisui is in Hufflepuff and Kisame in Slytherin and they become friends almost by accident and after a while Shisui starts seeing so much loyalty and sense of justice (the whole Kisame thing is that he values truth above almost everything else, I mean...) usually associated with Hufflepuff in Kisame while Kisame starts seeing a more ambitious and resourcefulness side of Shisui that is usually associated with Slytherin

(And also ofc Slytherin/Hufflepuff always makes the best pairing, both platonic and romantic)

Actually perfection, Anon 🤩

You just KNOW shisui is the school sweetheart and popular, seeker on the team since his very first year, and everyone is so sure that butter wouldn't melt in his mouth

Kisame is gruff and he had a very premature growth spurt and he's not very chatty, he demolishes the field in quidditch (beater paired with Zabuza) and students basically scrabble out of his way in corridors

And then kisame finds himself paired with shisui in a group protect in their DADA OWL/5th year class, identifying curses on an artefact as half of their final project's grade, and-

Shisui isn't some angel. He knows far too much about casting dark magic, he manipulates the staff like a pro, there's a devilish gleam in his eyes and his famous dimpled grin can tug into a devastating smirk. He is alarmingly ambitious and resourceful.

Kisame isn't a monster. He is diligent with his work and sensitive to those around him as well as with magic, he has a strong moral compass and a spine of steel, his fierce gaze can soften with fondness and his mouth can quirk with amusement. He is disarmingly truthful and loyal.

😩❤️✨

You've painted such a good mental image, Anon, this was lovely!
