#right after that last sentence daigo punches ryuji they get into a fight and thats the start of their beautiful friendship uwu

[atanx]

AU in which Daigo gets kidnapped in 1988 (earlier than the substory tho) and yayoi is like "sohei u bitch if u cant keep our son safe i will do it for u" and sends him off to osaka to a friend of hers where he goes to school as "matsuda" daigo and befriends ryuji and then the two fix-it the entire series <3

After the first class, during break, the teacher takes the new boy aside. Ryuji feels their eyes on him as the teacher speaks in a hushed voice. Well, it was fun while it lasted. But there’s no way the boy will keep that attitude up now that he’s probably learnt who Ryuji’s father is. They never do.

During the next period, the boy acts no different, ignoring Ryuji throughout the entire class (as well as everyone else), generally keeping quiet unless called upon, apparently preferring to observe.

Ryuji doesn’t pay attention himself, spending most of his time staring at Daigo. Everyone else would be sweating and shitting their pants right now, but with Daigo, it’s as if he doesn’t even notice that Ryuji is giving him his best intimidating glare.

Once again, class ends and they have a break. Ryuji turns his attention to his food. Trying to intimidate Daigo into shitting his pants isn’t working and Ryuji is getting frustrated. And when Ryuji gets frustrated, he gets hungry. He releases his frustration by tearing apart his food more viciously than necessary and he gets so caught up in it that he doesn’t notice Daigo taking a stand in front of his desk.

Daigo slams his hands on the desk and when Ryuji looks up, he is glaring him straight in the eyes.

“Do you have a staring problem?”, he demands. “If you have something to tell me, spit it out or stop bothering me!”

Damn, Ryuji can’t stand that kid’s posh accent.

“No!”, Ryuji counters at lightning speed.

“No?”, Daigo repeats, eyes narrowing, tone getting dangerous.

“No!”, Ryuji reaffirms. “Yer just gonna have to deal with it!”

Daigo narrows his eyes even more. Ryuji leans back in his chair provocatively, putting a smug grin on.
