imagine... little red riding hood souda x big bad wolf tanaka-
instead of kazuichi going to see his grandma like the original story — he's visiting his sick friend, hajime, who he wants to surprise with a fresh batch of muffins that he baked himself! and then during his journey, he comes across the big bad wolf himself :0
this is super open-ended because i have little creativity atm-
(i saw art on pixiv about this and i just thought to tell you about it xD)
I hope we already know the drill! Long post ahead let’s go!
Let’s see:
Kazuichi lives in a cottage that’s attached to a smithy semi on the outskirts of the village. He mainly does commission work, primarily metalworking, but he does has a knack for toy making and secretly bakes but only shares with his friends. He hasn’t heard from Hajime in a while and after hearing from Nagito that he’s sick, decides to take him a basket of day old bake goods and go visit him.
Unfortunately, Hajime likes his privacy and as such, he lives in the middle of Jobberwock Forest, a dark, dense wood that stretches nearly 2/3 of the largest island in the cluster. Most spots in the forest that are perpetual night, where the Sun barely peeks through the dense foliage. Basically, it’s scary as hell. But Hajime is Kazuichi’s best friend - his soul brother - and he’s ill. He’ll venture into the deep, dark, evil embodiment of all things sinister forest to get to him.
So he gets ready, with his basket of muffins, apples and some leftover medicine from when he got food poisoning, as well as a book so his friend isn’t bored (he borrowed it but found his dull lol) and of course, his trusty outside wrench and pocket knife. He puts on his vibrant yellow hood, locks his home up and sets out for the wood. He’s SUPER careful to stay on the trail - like he’s habitually looking down and behind him to make sure he’s in the middle of the safe path. The woods always seem to change everyday, Sonia loves to say that it has a mind of its own which does nothing to sooth his frazzle nerves.
He’s been walking since the late morning and thinks about taking a rest, when he hears a twig snapping. The sound it so loud it makes him jump. He turns to where he thinks it originated from, but another loud sound is coming from behind him and he whips around to see two red eyes staring at him in the shadows. Gripped in panic, Kazuichi turns tail and runs, leaving the safety of the path. Our bumbling boy is booking it - somehow not tripping on upturn roots until finally he’s in a clearing a few miles southwest of his friend’s home.
He’s so exhausted that he collapses onto the nearest stump, unaware of the hulking figure behind him. The basket wobbles a bit on the ground, but it doesn’t topple over so he breathlessly calls that a win.
“Good day.” A voice says behind him and it makes Kazuichi jump like a startled cat. He snatches his knife as he moves.
He whips around and sees, possibly the hottest guy he’s ever seen. Tall, Kazuichi has to tilt his head up slightly to look him in the eye, with pale skin and dual red and grey eyes. And wearing all black clothing aside from a purple cloth wrapped around his neck. The guy even had a scar over the grey one. Hot, but most definitely a thief.
“I-I don’t have any money!” He says, hoping the other will let him go, but the other only tilts his head.
“Apologies, I did not mean to frighten you, mortal. I rarely see one of your denizens venture this far into the dark wood.”
Kazuichi can only blink. Ok…maybe he wasn’t a thief. More likely a nutcase. Pity, dude was kinda hot.
“uh…yeah. I got spooked by a giant animal and ran.” Looking around the are, he realized in growing horror that nothing looked familiar. He doesn’t even seem to notice that the guy is staring at him intently, eyes zeroing in on him sucking his bottom lip between sharp teeth before speaking. Or the way his eyes trailed down the length of his body in interest.
“You are greatly fortunate this day, Persephone. I was reared in these very lands and can navigate you to the more safer paths.”
He didn’t really understand all of that, but the stranger seemed to want to help him and despite his suspicions, he was lost. Maybe he could trust the weirdo, just this one time.
“Really? And you won’t…like do anything bad? To ,e?” He squeaked, hand gripping his knife.
But the stranger merely shakes his head. “Not at all. I, the great Gundham Tanaka, ensures your safety through these dark wood,”
“Gundham.” Kazuichi silently mouthed, eyebrows furrowed. Tale and creepy had such a weird ass name. But he’s gonna help him out so he may as well put it aside for now.
Shaking his head, he places his knife carefully back in his basket and bends down to retrieve it. Again, he somehow misses the look Gundham gives his bent form and the slight peek of tongue running across his bottom lip. The man is damn near salivating lol
“My name’s Kazuichi’s by the way. It’s nice to meet you.” The pink haired man flashed a nervous smile, which the other returned with more ease and a bit something that makes Kazuichi’s stomach flip.
“I believe I am the more fortuitous between the two of us.”
They begin backtracking through the woods and as they do, Gundham gently starts to ask Kazuichi questions - what does he do, where does he live, does he live alone. Simple questions. Nothing untowards or suspicious about them.
And Kazuichi answers each one truthfully, not really mindful of his answers because the forest is much darker than it was when he had started and having the other by his side eases him. He also asks Gundham a bit about himself as a distraction, but the man deflects; only reiterating that he grew up in the Jobberwock Forest, that he has lived there all his life and that he’ll keep Kazuichi safe.
Finally, they are in more familiar territory and the path unfurls before them. Tears of relief well in Kazuichi’s eyes. He’s so happy he could kiss the dirt road. Just before he can kneel down and actually do it however, Gundham pinches the sleeve of neon yellow hood to get his attention.
“You had mentioned your comrade has fallen to a malignant force, correct?”
“Huh? Oh yeah! Hajime’s sick.” He almost forgot his friend for a moment what with his fear of the forest and this mysterious man. “I should hurry to his house before it gets dark.” Being out here at night was so much scarier than being out in the daylight.
“Fret not, you will ensursedly arrive at your destination before the dying light of the sun. I merely asked, for do you see these fauna?”
Gundham pointed to a patch of flowers. They were small, with white petals and tall, thin stalks that bent towards a shaft of sunlight. Kazuichi’s eyebrows furrowed, but he gave a slight nod.
“These are medicinal plants.” The man informed, giving the other a charming smile. “They can assist in curing your friend. Merely steep in a concoction of tea and he shall be remedied!”
Kazuichi stared at the flowers, eye wide with disbelief. “Seriously?! But they’re all over the place!”
“This glade is their preferred choice for germination. You should collect them before you go.”
“Right!” Kazuichi took a step closer to the flowers but stopped, peaking over his shoulder to look back at Gundham with an awkward smile. “Hey, thanks again for helping me back on the path. I’m sure I took you away from something important-“
But Gundham merely waved his hand, dismissing the notion. “Do not fret, it was far more important to ensure your safe return. Sadly, I do have some business to conclude, and must leave you here. I can assume you know the way to your companion’s domicile from here?”
“Yeah everything looks a lot familiar now. I should get to Hajime’s hut in a half hour or so.” Kazuichi nodded, giving one last smile in gratitude before setting off to pick a few of the plants. He calls out one last time. “Thanks again man. I really owe you!”
As the mechanic bent down, Gundham retreated into the shadows, his eyes ensuring the other was too engrossed picking flowers, before he transformed into his wolf form and raced through the forest. He knew the quickest way to Hajime’s home, and in his quadrupedal form, he made it there in just under ten minutes. Barely skidding to a halt, he just had enough time to change back before Hajime opens his door.
He only looks a little pale, but he’s standing up straight and his breathing wasn’t labored. Excellent, this soothes his fretting mind somewhat.
“Singularity! I require a boon.”
“Hello to you too, Gundham.” Hajime chuckles, inviting the other in. “It must be important- you rarely ask me for anything.”
Crossing the threshold, Gundham wasted no time retelling his encounter with the most entrancing creature he has ever met, going on about his aura and mystical powers for surely he could not be a mere mortal if Gundham, Overlord of Ice and Ruler of these Woods, is so successfully ensnared. And through it all Hajime listens, a little bemused, but actively listening to his rants.
“I’ve been meaning to have Kazuichi meet you, but you usually keep to yourself.”
“My boon is thus: depart from your realm so that I may have succeeded in completing our courtship! In return, I shall assist you in your own quest for romantic endeavors.”
Hajime blinks, stunned. “Hold on. You want me to leave my house, just so you can make a move on my best friend?”
Well, when put like it sounds unsavory. Gundham fiddles with his scarf, a hot flush spreading down his neck.
“And I don’t need help in my love life thanks,” he said sardonically. How about this: I give you my home for the night - only tonight! - and whatever happens, happens. But you owe me by helping around my property and hunting. Whatever he brings in his basket that he made are mine. And you stay away from my bedroom.” The last sentence was said with such severity that if he were a lesser demon, Gundham would quiver.
Instead he chuckles, a low, dark sound that would seem threatening to anyone outside their friendship, but was really one of agreement.
“Very well mortal! I accept your bargain.”
Hajime takes entirely too long in Gundham’s opinion to pack an overnight bag, but he departs and Gundham prepares for the mechanics arrival. He already ensured Hajime’s personal abode was sealed (Hajime locked it) and that Kazuichi would not be suspicious of the changes dwellings (Hajime wrote a note explaining). Now he only had little left to disguise his aura and appearance. The borrowing of Hajime’s night shirt and pants and pulling the shades down in the guest room shall do the trick.
And now, with infinite patience, he awaits his prey.

THH Boys proposing and wedding headcanons
Yay!! Not only do I have a husband, but today I received a message from the most blessed anon saying how much they adore byakuya and my writing, so I found this one to do for them!! This one goes out to you!!
update: hey guess what's up it's me posting again sorry I've been partying. can everyone whisper under their breath "mod souda and the guitarist he likes are going to go on a date" thank you i miss my husband i want to see him again. manifestation.
currently playing: massage asmr videos on youtube because i'm obsessed
✯✯✯✯✯
-Mod Souda
✯✯✯✯✯
Byakuya Togami
❤ When he proposes, he makes it something magnificent. I imagine it will be either at an elegant ball somewhere in royal Europe, else somewhere more local, but it has to be somewhere where he is one of the main attractions, and somewhere royal n elegant.
❤ Not that he worries about you saying no, he is actually 90% positive you will say yes. The 10% is if he spontaneously combusts before the day comes.
❤ Byakuya is not going to go down on one knee for you.
❤ He is instead going to lean into your ear, holding you and looking at you as if you are a deity, and ask you politely. You've almost never heard his voice so soft.
❤ You almost doubt his intentions. Is he being hyperbolic? Is this some way the high society talks?
❤ The engagement party is very traditional and very expensive. You are the center of attention almost the entire time, it got a little frightening, especially when some of the attendees have like 100,000x your salary.
❤ Imagine that ring though ohhh my god.
❤ And the wedding can literally be anywhere but he asks that it's an inside wedding and that the place looks baller asf. But you can pick the city / country. If you're indifferent, then his family will probably enforce that it takes place in a shrine, and he'll go along with this.
❤ Beyond his usual black suit, I think he will wear a light gray one with black underneath, just to make the distinction.
❤ I know most weddings are invite only but this one is literally invite only like no +1's or anything and you gotta show your invite before you sit down.
❤ He will fly your family [birth or otherwise] to come and attend, and he will pay for seamstresses and shit to make them the most beautiful outfits.
❤ He high-key wants a theme, but he is going to be like "oh yeah, my lover requests that..." as if he isn't the one with the idea. He doesn't want to appear as a bridezilla even as the groom (is that just, an asshole?).
❤ He scolds the seamers a lot, I feel like this is just a given.
❤ I don't think there are any recordings of the wedding, and the wedding photographers are only for like the posed photos, not the actual ceremony, and maybe the reception.
❤ Live music!! Very traditional music.
❤ The wedding lasts a long time and at first, it was very serious, having minimal smiles, but once everything went on, it became very joyous. It became a celebration.
❤ There were flowers all over the head table, and every time you see those flowers anywhere else it reminds you of your wedding.
.
Hagakure Yasuhiro
❤ He will sit inside, whether a building or a car, and watch the fire from Omizutori festival, seeing it from the distance. He takes it as a bit of good omen.
❤ He will worry about it like HELLA and he will rely on his mom to calm him down.
❤ His mom has a very important part in this entire thing. She is giving him the most advice she can possibly give and she is trying to help him to the best of her abilities. Sometimes she has to grab him by the shoulders and shake him.
❤ He will be getting down on one knee for you. He will not be making eye contact with you because that's too scary. He will also probably speak too quietly at first.
❤ I think he's do it either at a shrine or some other place he feels he is most comfortable.
❤ The engagement ceremony is simple, it's just his mother meeting some of your closest people, whether it's your family or those you consider your family.
❤ His mother is so like happy with this entire situation, even if it's not too obvious. I feel as if if you've been hanging out with his mother then you can really notice how more delighted she seems about the situation.
❤ The wedding has colors of neutrals. I feel as if it's going to take place in a forest, like a thick forest.
❤ His hair will be tied up and it'll look so cute!! He'll have his little glasses on, too.
❤ A lot of fairy lights, the wedding site is going to have beautiful golden lights.
❤ He isn't too worried about things such as catering or music, so you can come up with ideas on that.
❤ He wants a dance floor, though. He wants somewhere where the two of you can share that stereotypical romantic moment.
❤ The dining room table is stacked with movies that involve weddings. He just wanted to see what the average wedding is portrayed as. Studying, almost.
❤ Give him a bunch of kisses because goodness is he so anxious.
❤ ^ This is mostly because he wants to look dressed up. Plus, Togami is gonna be there, too, and he doesn't want that guy to make him feel insecure about his dressing.
❤ After the wedding, alone in a room with you he will just sit down, pull you into his lap, rest his face against your back and start to cry.
.
Hifumi Yamada
❤ The proposal will be surrounding something that you like. He listens to like everything you say and keeps mental notes of things you like and don't like. This is mainly because gift-giving culture is something he takes very seriously, obviously as a fanfic creator, but it proves to come handy.
❤ Do you like amusement parks? He will propose to you there. Do you like hiking? Any sports? Anime conventions? National parks?
❤ And the ring will be whatever color you want - he doesn't care about social rules when it comes to your happiness.
❤ Tbh I think he'd let you pick out the ring.
❤ But as he is proposing he is so so so worried about whether you'd say yes or not. It's not about if you love him, it's about if he thinks you consider him someone you'd want to spend the rest of your life with.
❤ He tries to be kind, and considerate, and even a person you'd consider a husband, but there is always an insecurity about what you might be secretly thinking about him.
❤ When you say yes, he gets more excited than you.
❤ His engagement party is shared with his sister and those close to you. His sister is very much like him, though she is a lot friendlier to strangers.
❤ The actual wedding he will like beg to have anime influences, and it depends on your answer.
❤ He loves you so much that if you say no, he will respect it, except not really because he's gonna sneak something (like a anime girl pin on his tux).
❤ He highkey wants some aspects to be pink, because that's almost his comfort color. He turns to Princess Piggles in time of need.
❤ Pink table cloths maybe.
❤ Tbh knowing him like, listen, you could rent out a room at an anime convention right and have the wedding there, and there will be his fans there to support you guys. That is a plausibility.
❤ He just wants the wedding to have a sense of community. He's had a hard time interacting with people, especially when it comes to telling if they're being nice or not, so having a group of people who he knows wants to be there for him is all he asks for.
❤ And also he wants to see you dressed all formal. He's gonna make that the image that appears on the back of his eyelids.
❤ I don't think he knows how to dance so the First Dance will be interesting.
❤ But no matter what, he is going to have such a blast during that mf wedding like he is so happy to be there with you.
❤ He might start wearing a badge that says I'm married.
.
Makoto Naegi
❤ His idea of a proposal is a classic one. He wants to go classic incase he gets bad luck from trying to think out of the box.
❤ It'll probably be under a cherry blossom tree, or even a mistletoe if you're a fan of Christmas.
❤ He will take your hands in his and tell you how important you are to him and how special you make him feel.
❤ He is always affectionate, but those words were a little too affectionate for him. When he got down on his knee you finally realized what it all was for.
❤ He was actually a bit nervous around you saying yes.
❤ Actually as he was proposing to you Kirigiri was lurking like in the shadows from far away.
❤ The engagement party is very traditional and very expensive. You are the center of attention almost the entire time, it got a little frightening, especially when some of the attendees have like 100,000x your salary.
❤ Pretty ring!
❤ He doesn't have a set idea for a wedding, but he has fantasized about getting married to you since he's fallen in love with you so he has some idea.
❤ He's kinda a push-over though so your opinion overweighs any of his.
❤ His suit is going to be a pale color! Not black.
❤ And he wants you to invite as many people as you like. He wants to meet all of your friends and family (and he will be nervous as shit as he does so).
❤ He wants you to meet all of his friends, too! You've been a handful of them, but the Hope's Peak graduates are always all over the place internationally.
❤ He is the one that crafts the menu and organizes the playlist.
❤ Maizono is in the back of the ceremony just recording it on her phone.
❤ ^ She'll perform a song for the two of you, too.
❤ His friends literally liven up the wedding so an insane level. There is never a second where there isn't something going on. The distractions give enough time for you and him to exchange a few kisses.
.
Ishimaru Kiyotaka
❤ He is literally pissing himself crying at trying to plan this.
❤ He is planning everything about the day, and he swears if something even goes the littlest bit of wrong he's going to have a panic attack.
❤ It's at a shrine. He helps you go up the steps and the entire time he is like shaking. You can tell he is obviously going to piss himself.
❤ Every "what's wrong?" gets combatted with him dramatically brushing it off.
❤ Nothing is wrong, he says. Everything is going right.
❤ His hands are shaky. More than anything, he is worried you're going to say no, and he is worried that you don't want to live your life with him - a nuisance.
❤ He rehearsed what he is going to say. He speaks it clearly - he is good when it comes to things like that, rehearsed speeches.
❤ He is not very slick about his intentions, though. You catch on, and to you it's the matter of whether you let him finish or not.
❤ The engagement party is very traditional and very expensive. You are the center of attention almost the entire time, it got a little frightening, especially when some of the attendees have like 100,000x your salary.
❤ Puts his entire life and soul into that ring.
❤ He wants the wedding to be at a shrine. He thinks it's a beautiful location, and he wants good fortune to come to the two of you.
❤ The suit is one the two of you will pick together, and this is just because he was too nervous to pick something you didn't like. The two of you went suit shopping together.
❤ His family monitor who you invite. Backround checks and the such are mandatory.
❤ But whoever you invite are 100% coming to the wedding, and his family can ensure that.
❤ The wedding stresses him out, and you'll need to reassure him and remind him that the two of you have luck on your side.
❤ "Everything will be okay."
❤ And everything was okay! Nothing bad happened, which he is more than happy about. the reception.
❤ His family enjoyed the wedding, which is another major plus for him. That was something that stressed him out, too. The positive appraise and the fact that they sent your family off with smiles and pleasantries is something that hammers in the fact that his life with you is going to be perfect.
.
Mondo Oowada
❤ Ishimaru is in his ear telling him to do something fancy and not something whimsical, but that just isn't who he is.
❤ When he proposes to you, it's like when the two of you met for the first time. He was so anxious, he was fidgeting with his own fingers, and he could hardly control the levels of his voice - he was blushing and yelling.
❤ So yeah, it's just like that ^.
❤ A lot of "so fucking uhhhh".
❤ It's either a stolen ring or like a lifesavers.
❤ He will propose in the darkness of the night, maybe under a streetlamp in a place for from the city. He's not the type to get down on one knee. He's going to hold your hands and ask with an unsure voice.
❤ Zero eye contact. Zero eye contact.
❤ When you say yes, you need to give him a big hug. He deserves it so much. Free him.
❤ The engagement party would probably be skipped, which is something completely not a casual decision, but he is settling with letting you visit his brother's grave with him.
❤ The two of you have a reserved seat for him at the main table, too.
❤ A lot of the detailing stuff is very timid, he doesn't care about what the wedding looks like as long as you are happy and as long as it's not in hot weather.
❤ The ring is something he does put consideration and time into btw like he wants it to be gorgeous. That ring is how people are gonna know that you are his.
❤ Yeah he's kinda against an outside wedding like that shit is gonna annoy the shit outta him with the weather and bugs and stuff.
❤ His suit is something he takes seriously, too. He wants to look dapper. Maybe a low ponytail if he's feeling affectionate enough.
❤ Omg tin cans tied to the back of the bike.
❤ He is going to be hella nervous to meet your friends. It's gonna be like, almost as nervous as he was to propose to you.
❤ He wooulldd prefer if the wedding was themed more dark colors, or if the music he likes played. He'll sneak something in.
❤ His gang will be attending and that just adds to the whole aesthetics of the place.
❤ If some of them are in bands he's going to let them play.
❤ He's surprised at how long weddings last. He thought he was just going to put the ring ons and eat and get it done with.
❤ He has such a fun time hanging out with you in the formal clothes. He feels like a prince.
.
Leon Kuwata
❤ Would probably propose in front of a bunch of people.
❤ I think naturally he's going to be nervous about it, but that doesn't mean he isn't confident in your relationship. He knows you love him, so that means you'll marry him, right?
❤ Thank god the answer was yes.
❤ I literally cannot imagine him doing it anywhere else other than his games.
❤ Which can be a bit embarrassing for you but hey. Romance.
❤ He proposed with such passion and belief, it was impressive. He put so much love into those words and that ring.
❤ Engagement party very sweetening. Kanon isn't too happy but.
❤ The thing he is worried about is picking out the perfect ring.
❤ He is going to try to do something different with his hair. One of the attempts is to pull it back but he doesn't find much appeal in that. Taming it is kinda hard.
❤ Leon in a black suit with a cute red bowtie. He might have a goodluck flower on his breast pocket too.
❤ Can one of the wedding photos include his guitar.
❤ He's picking the wedding music and it's not going to be wedding appropriate. He also tries to be very formal but after like two hours he loses the ability.
❤ There are many photos and recordings of the wedding. He wants to remember every second of it, it's the most beautiful thing to him. (And he likes looking at the photos of you the most)
❤ After awhile he's going to treat the wedding as if it's a party. This is either going to be the funnest shit or the most stressful shit.
❤ "Please don't hurt yourself Leon."
❤ Stands on a table to make an announcement.
.
Chihiro Fujisaki
❤ The proposal is going to be a cute little program. He is going to watch you interact with it, and he's going to have a shy blush on his face the entire time, waiting with anticipation for you to reach the end.
❤ He will lean on your shoulder, too.
❤ He is going to cry out of happiness, too. The joy and excitement will be incredibly overstimulating.
❤ He waits to buy a ring until after the proposal. He wanted to wait until you said yes.
❤ When the two of you are engaged, he sleeps so close to you that you feel as if when you wake up, he'll have melted from the body heat.
❤ The engagement party is very casual. It'll be a small event, especially since he doesn't want to be around too many people at once. He is going to be extremely kind to all of your family.
❤ Whenever people ask how he proposed, his eyes light up as he explains his entire thought process.
❤ For the wedding, he ties his hair back. The amount of compliments he gets really helps with his confidence, and he spends a long time making sure that people will look at him with admiration in their eyes.
❤ He is going to need help picking a suit though because he doesn't have like any experience in that sort of thing.
❤ One of the sentences in his vows is relating to being secure in the fact that he will not hesitate to protect you. He's always worried that he is too weak, but now everything feels at ease.
❤ He really wants a neutral-colored theme. He likes the casualty mixed with the professionalism. He wants the place to be friendly and calming yet not straying enough to be considered a party rather than a wedding.
❤ There is not going to be a lot of people.
❤ Oh my god imagine how excited and happy his dad is going to be. His dad has always been a sweetheart to you and he is the weddings number one supporter.
❤ ^ He cries during it.
❤ The wedding isn't going to last longer than it needs to. The two of you will have a bunch of fun after the ceremony no matter what, though.
