#tsu rambling in tags

[awiderangeofgreen]

Writing is going fine, why do you ask?

[edwardslostalchemy]

I know the situation in the manga is dire, but I'm laughing because when Izuku's and Shigaraki's memories are intertwining in the latest chapters, the first memory Izuku has is of Shouto during the sports festival saying he wants to be a hero, too. And then, we get to see his memories about him, Tsu, and nuisance working together at the USJ. And I mean. I'm not even sorry to make this about ships. Like Izuku thinking about Shouto first took me OUT, I didn't expect the first memory to be about Shouto, but I welcome it, I love it. Tododeku is thriving even with the crumbs. But I'm laughing because we get Shouto, we get Tsu AND dumb bitch. And that's really it. Like....it would have been perfect to have Ochako in there, too. But nope. Shigaraki thinks about Toga, Dabi, and Spinner, people he has relationships with, which is fine. Maybe the memories are random. Maybe they're not. But I just keep thinking about that scene from Mean Girls where Damian as Santa delivers the candy canes, gives one to Cady, several to Glenn Coco, anD NONE FOR GRETCHEN WEINERS. That's Ochako. She's Gretchen Weiners here. None for her.

I like Runaway to the Stars + Tiny Sapient Ungulates and I like HLVRV so I put them together. Enjoy your dose of weirdo creature versions of these weirdos. It was kinda a challenge stylizing them to fit our artstyle without losing the the charm of the original species designs.

Do not provoke us we WILL infodump to you about the lore we're working out in our head. The stickers on Bugferret!Doc's face are in fact inspired by @/cupidinyourcomputer 's design for Doc where he has a charm necklace.

Morosis [Bakugo] (Fluff)

(One-Shot 3/? in a collection of My Hero Academia Reader one-shots posted regularly once a month - sometimes more.)

Read on AO3.

Word Count: 967 words

Summary: While hanging out with Class 1-A at the mall, you and Bakugo end up standing beside each other, and he has a comment about a manga that you start arguing about with him.

Author's Note: I wrote this because someone on Quotev requested I write Bakugo x Reader, but it was inspired by this post on Tumblr. Hope you enjoy!

Morosis: (n.) the stupidest of stupidities

When the girls from 1-A invite you to the mall with them, you don’t expect it to turn into such a big affair. Whispered words and presented plans travel around until the entirety of 1-A walks together through the large building.

This arrangement both thrills and bothers you. While it’s true that being with the whole class allows you to send unassuming glances in Bakugo’s direction, it is equally true that Bakugo is, well, an asshole.

But dammit if he isn’t your type.

“(Name), where do you want to go first?” Mina rambles, her head twisting this way and that, eyes glowing as she settles into her element. “Ooo! We should go to Sephora first! They’ve released some new brands that look like they might work with my complexion!” 

“Sure, we can hit up make-up first. I want to check out some video games and the bookstore at some point, though.” You beam.

“Oh, yes! I have a list of books I need to search for.” Momo agrees.

You take note that Ochaco and Tsu linger behind, so you slow your pace so that you’re in the back with them. It’s important to you to keep surveillance on the group as a whole, always keeping a watch out for danger. 

“Were you wanting to look for a specific game, ribbit?” Tsu asks, side-stepping a toddler squealing happily towards a photo booth. 

“I’ve been meaning to look and see if the sequel to Dazzling Designer has come out yet. I’ve got 300 hours logged on the first game, and I wasn’t disappointed when I saw the trailer for the sequel.” 

“My favorite is Amphibious Adventures.”

“That fits.” You laugh, picking up a lip tint tester and swatching the color on the inside of your wrist. You crinkle your nose and then set it aside. 

“I like more casual games, ribbit. They don’t stress me out as much.”

“I can understand that.” You continue searching for a shade to your liking. “Do you like dating simulators, then?”

“Some of them. Others just aren’t made well.” Tsu shrugs.

 You carry on like this for some time, everyone helping each other find what they want or engaging in idle chatter while you ponder where Bakugo might have gone with his posse. He gives me sports store vibes. The image of Bakugo in a plaid shirt and mountain climbing gear suddenly plagues your mind and you smile to yourself.

Well, you thought it was to yourself.

“Ooo, whatcha thinkin’ about?” You jump at the sound of Toru’s voice. “Oops! Sorry, I didn’t mean to sneak up on you.”

“No, you’re fine.” You chuckle, tucking your hair behind your ear as you move on. “Did you find anything you liked, Toru?” 

“Nah. It’s hard to find much since I’m invisible.” As you start walking towards the door to wait on the others to finish up.

“Oh, yeah, that has to be frustrating.” You empathize.

You’re careful to keep control of your wandering thoughts afterwards, feeling successful since you dodged her question. But when you all start walking again, you can’t stop your eyes from searching for the Bakusquad. You think you catch sight of Kirishima’s red hair, but are promptly redirected when Momo gets giddy and guides the lot of you into the bookstore.

 The beautiful sight of colorful spines and the entrancing smell of leather bound pages calls to you like a siren song. Within seconds, everyone loses themselves to the luxury of lexicon around them, going in their own direction.

You head towards the manga first, hoping to find an affordable copy from your favorite series. You get distracted a few times with other titles that you’ve been interested in, but when you make it to your initial goal, Bakugo stands in front of the shelf.

You tense at first, but clear your throat and stand next to him, scouring the shelves for what you want. Even though he doesn’t say a word, you feel the heat of his presence beside you. Damn, if he wasn’t such an asshole, I’d ask him out. Since he’s minding his own business, you mind yours. However, when you reach for the book you want, Bakugo breaks the silence.

“Hmph. You read Music House?” He asks. Do his eyes soften?

“U-Uh, yeah.” You reply, shocked that he’s talking to you. Maybe he’s not as bad as he seems.

“Good manga, but I bet your favorite character is Hikaru, isn’t it?”

I take it all back. You frown at his comment.

“What’s wrong with Hikaru?”

 “Tch. Knew it.” Bakugo smirks, looking over the selection and grabbing a volume that’s several copies ahead of you in the series. “The only chicks that like Hikaru are the ones that don’t know a man when they see one.”

“Oh, yeah? Well who’s your favorite character, huh? I bet it’s Vesper!” 

“Duh, she’s a badass and not a weak extra like Hikaru!”

“But Vesper likes Hikaru…and Hikaru isn’t weak!” You growl out, stepping closer to him with a pointed finger on his chest. “In fact, he reminds me of you!”

“Me? That weak bastard reminds you of me? Are you calling me weak?!” He hisses, getting in your face.

“I told you, Hikaru’s not weak!” You ground out before shoving him one good time. “You’re not weak, Bakugo, you’re just oblivious. You wanna kiss me so bad, it makes you look stupid!”

  You don’t know why you said it, but when his hand grips your jaw and rough lips assault yours, you’re not complaining. Your eyes flutter and when you sway a bit when he pulls away, dazed as you look at him.

“Now who looks stupid?” He says with a cheeky grin and flushed cheeks.

And he leaves you dumbfounded in the aisle.

Are you gay for Todoroki?

Are you gay for Todoroki? by MyAngelWingsBleedInk

Uraraka took off her rose tinted glasses as she saw Todoroki brush lint off of Deku's shoulder. He blushed and happily thanked Todoroki and rambled about how he woke up in a rush. Todoroki listened attentively with a soft look on his face and enjoying every second. Before she would've brushed it off as just another interaction between the two. They were close after all. But this time her heart hurt because Midoriya looked so comfortable with Todoroki so close and Todoroki would never look at anyone but Midoriya like that.

Uraraka and Yaoyorozu looked at each other and realized it at the same time.

Oh yeah I should probably post my seasons analogy here huh. Peeling back the red winter things from 3rd life for a bit, you could easily assign a season to each of the four main factions (Sorry Scar and Joel, you guys are a wild card that I don't dare to touch) This was also like... Amidst conversations during the EP4 releases, so it doesn't really stand as true, but it's still fun to think about Spring - The easiest to assign, as the flower/shadow/castle alliance, whatever name you want to give it. I don't think this one needs a big explanation, but it is cute that "after every winter, comes a spring"... and behind every king, is a queen. Paralels, people, paralels! (But Sal you just said you weren't bringing up the red winter! Well Sal decided that Ren deserves to bloom, passing the curse of blood onto the next fitting bearer.) The smell of ripe fruits lures you in. Summer - Pearl and Scott's cottage home thing- A nice getaway from all the pain, surrounded by the heat of scolding lava and the rays of sun passing through the leaves, a reminder of an once carefree time. It's bittersweet, but as peaceful as it can be. But Creation only brought in two humans, not three. Autumn - Southerners I feel like autumn is the silliest of all seasons. Crushing leaves into nothing, laughing around as you get ready for school/work, inside jokes with a couple of beverages, as you watch the sun drop down... The cosy feeling of wooden floors, and exploration, adventure- ever-changing, yet everlasting. Things may not be okay, but at least you still have each other. Right? Winter - B.E.S.T , aka oh my god honey I'm so sorry they did you dirty like this. Having a castle made of Literal Snow kind of makes them fit into the category a bit easier, huh? But it's also the sense of unity the group carries that gives them this spot in my list- Always being there for each other, no matter what, but this time is not only for laughs and memories, it's for survival, for justice, for compassion. For the need of warmth, hand holding as to not fall into the hole. Also you can totally take people dying on these alliances as the decay of the seasons, making it an agglomeration of one dull, colourless world, where the only thing you can really trust is the red of your heart.

Dear Brain, why are you turning my KinnPorsche "seduce him in 7days" fic in a VegasPorsche fic?

Why?

How?

What is even happening here

[rosecoloredmuses]

An in-depth look at your muse.

—    basics.

▸     is your muse tall/short/average?

Tsubasa is a shorty mcshort pants at only 4′9″, but she was 4′3″ for the longest time due to me using centimeters in her bio without looking up how tall she’d be in inches.

▸     are they okay with their height?

Not really?? I mean, she can’t reach tall shelves and gets mistaken for being younger by adults on occasion. Her flat chest does not help her self-confidence issues either- 

▸     what’s their hair like?

Golden blonde and rather fluffy. She usually parts her bangs either in the middle or the right of her face. Her hair normally reaches to about her shoulders. However, when she transforms into Cure Swan, her hair grows to be slightly past waist length and lightens to a platinum blonde. It’s still soft and fluffy though.

▸     do they spend a lot of time on their hair/grooming?

Yeah, she spends a fair amount of time on her grooming. It’s nothing overly complicated, but she has some nice shampoos and conditioners along with soaps. She loves winding down at the end of a long day with a nice, relaxing bath.

▸     does your muse care about their appearance/what others think?

Yeah, she does. She’s someone who wants to be liked by as many people as possible as well as someone who just likes looking and feeling cute. She’s someone who finds her self-confidence boosted if she’s wearing a cute dress along with a cute hair accessory.

—    preferences.

▸    indoors or outdoors? Tsubasa likes the outdoors, mainly for the feeling of fresh air against her skin.

▸    rain or sunshine? She prefers the sunshine. It’s hard for her to go outside if it’s raining after all. And don’t get me started on thunderstorms-

▸    forest or beach? She loves the beach, mostly for the water and the opportunity to wear cute swimsuits.

▸    precious metals or gems? Gems, especially when they’re on a cute hair accessory!

▸    flowers or perfumes? Flowers! She doesn’t really like the smell of most perfumes.

▸    personality or appearance? Personality! It doesn’t matter how hot a guy is if they turn out to be an asshole.

▸    being alone or being in a crowd? She doesn’t like either but being alone scares her too much so she’d pick the crowd. She hates the noise though.

▸    order or anarchy? Order because anarchy is too unpredictable for her liking.

▸    painful truths or white lies? Painful truths. Tsubasa isn’t one for lying regardless.

▸    science or magic? Magic!

▸    peace or conflict? Peace.

▸    night or day? She prefers the day. Night makes her too sleepy.

▸    dusk or dawn? Dusk. She’s not much of a morning person either.

▸    warmth or cold? She much prefers warmth!

▸    many acquaintances or a few close friends? A few close friends, without a doubt.

▸    reading or playing a game? She loves reading! Especially romance and fanfics!

—    questionnaire.

▸     what are some of your muse’s bad habits?

She’ll hide her negative emotions out of fear she’ll make people worry about her. She has also ignored her gut feeling in order to help some people. As Swan, she imagines her attacks as much larger and more powerful than they need to be, making her like a Cure version of Megumin from Konosuba with more variety. Or, if you prefer a D&D analogy, she has above average Dexterity and Wisdom but rock-bottom Constitution. Expect either loud stomach growls or passing out after battle.

▸     has your muse lost anyone close to them? how has it affected them?

No, not really! Granted, she’s fourteen and written for a kid’s show. However, she did once have a Tragically Deceased Childhood Friend but said Friend was retconned to be alive once I realized that her being dead did nothing for Tsubasa.

▸     what are some fond memories your muse has?

One of Tsubasa’s fondest memories is when she first got Rina, her Shiba Inu. Another one is when she finally reunited with the rest of her friends from Tokyo after they were finally freed from their imprisonment within the Precure Graveyard. And a third one is when Megumi and the other girls accepted her as a part of the Happiness Charge Precure.

▸     is it easy for your muse to kill?

Heck no. Tsubasa is a textbook goody two shoes and would never kill anyone if she didn’t have to. She thinks taking a life is wrong except in self-defense.

▸     what’s it like when your muse breaks down?

Tsubasa wouldn’t make it obvious to the people around her. She’ll tell anyone who asks that she’s fine, but it’ll be said with a smile that doesn’t reach her eyes. She quickly leaves the room and bawls when she knows she’s alone. She’ll then try to calm down by reading a book or otherwise distracting herself so she can once again put on a mask of being “fine”.

▸     is your muse capable of trusting someone with their life?

Well, I think that’s a given. She trusts Megumi and the others more than anything else. In fact, she can be a little too trusting in others out of her desire to believe in the good of humanity, leading her to be easily tricked.

▸     what’s your muse like when they’re in love?

When Tsubasa falls in love, she does so hard. She already blushes easily, but she does so at the drop of a hat when the person she likes looks at her or touches her. Tsubasa will do anything in her power to make the other person happy; usually through making food and spending quality time with them. She finds herself to be extraordinarily protective of her partners-- hurt them and she will wreck you. Any villain who harms her beloved should be thankful she wouldn’t kill anyone.

in awe of the new bnha ep, so happy to see everyone chilling and being friends and just the chillness of hanging out im,,,,,,

[yurtletheturtlehenderson]

Although I'm a bit sad, that my boy Five didn't win, I love Diego just as much and I'd be honored to be on the taglist. Seriously I cannot wait for this rewrite and the description that you wrote gave me chills. So... yeah. Please add me to the taglist? Thanks, love you💜💜

Aww of course, I'd love to and thank you so much, that means so much to me!! 😪💞

I am actually quite surprised to say I'm a bit sad as well Five didn't win seeing as I felt going into this, but good news!! The plan I worked out in case he won might still be able to work here, and its more likely than not I might be able to squeeze in a really wholesome dynamic with the Reader and Five to like,, throw a bone to Five voters (and maybe a little bit myself lmao 🤭) since the vote between these two was so close... idk idk...

[prosecutors-gambit]

ok i finished my quiz im gonna talk abt how weird i find it when ppl make shippy art of ppl as the ponyo kids.

maybe its bc ponyo came out when i was also five so i watched it first when i was the same age as the characters but in my humble opinion what was between those two characters is not romantic. again they are five. like. sure ponyo says i love you to sosuke  and if i remember coorectly kisses him on the nose? but ily does not have to be romantic. i definitely saw ponyo as a younger sister to sosuke which i feel i have to authority to speak on as a younger sibling, so like, while you certainly can interpret their relationship as being romantic... i personally believe it’s more interesting as adoptive brother and sister. i also dont like either of ponyos parents so that also applies to my preference of sosuke’s mom adopting ponyo here

moving on to another aspect of it that makes me uncomfortable is like. everyone older than me (who is usually who i see making this kind of content) was also older than ponyo and sosuke from when ponyo first aired. and i understand that it’s a classic and a lot of people love ponyo but i think its just a little bit creepy to be making ship art of children ! just a thought. especially when you have always been older than those children if you get what im saying. 

which applies more generally too i think any kind of ship art of children is weird like when i was five i was learning the alphabet. when i was ten we had a school dance and it was called the glitterball because we were in FIFTH grade!!!!! maybe you should not be thinking about characters that age kissing

Tsuyu Asui is so cute...,,,

[argetcross]

Time Loop AU where, through a series of events and accidents, pro hero Bakugo kills Midoriya in the rubble of a villain fight at the inevitable end of the day. It's never Bakugo's true intention but no matter what Midoriya does, he cannot avoid his death at Bakugo's hands. It's only when the unexpected third party of one Todoroki Shouto begins to clue into the nature of these loops does Midoriya find a glimmer of hope to escape this tragic cycle.

khukjnkjb day two of drawing @awkwardmonodekugod hcs <33 this one was sm fun cause I got to rant about monoma <33 if you wanna read the quirk ramble its under the cut!!

"Copy is such a neat quirk, imagine all that you could do with it! Its the perfect quirk for a hero because of how versatile it is. You could always keep a piece of recovery girls hair on you at all times to help people who get injured during a fight. Can you copy all quirks? Like how Tsus' quirk is physical? and does it matter what you touch? like does saliva count?

You're gonna be such a good hero man! I bet you're gonna be really high ranked, especially with how pretty you are. You'll have to let me experiment on you and you're quirk in the future! With permission first, oh man am I so glad I got to meet someone with such a cool quirk! like wow, there are so many things you could do do, I mean, if you become close enough with enough pro heroes and future ones -aka us students- you'll always work well with them and their quirks.

Really relationships with other people are gonna be really important for you. OOOO and!! when you use a civilians quirk you'll probably become their like favorite hero because in way they were helping the heroes! You're gonna have to have a cool tag line, like "saving the day with your help" and point at a camera. okay, I admit that was kinda bad but, just imagine the promotional work you could do! you're quirk is so strong too!

How do you know how to use a quirk directly after you copy it? or do you just make a guess? and on a cellular level, how does it work? because quirks are apart of out cells and each one is individual so, do you just have a second set of cells that changes to match the quirk or does your current set of cells just temporarily adapt? and how does it work when you copy more than one quirk?

plus, wouldn't having more than one quirk like reck your body? so how do you manage that? and do you feel the drawbacks at the level or is it a higher level than the original quirk user? have you ever tried to use two of them at once? what's the most quirks you can copy? the most complex? your quirk is so cool I have so many questions-"

A little birthday ramble for my favourite jean man~

It’s my favourite characters birthday??? Woah! That means I gotta try and actually make something-

So here, have this rather rushed birthday edgejeanist ramble for my favourite lanky jeanist because I love them too much.

Tagging: @chaotic-trash-can @kouricaesar @kiriderp @theshisthings @chiggersmcnuggies :)

TW: none! It’s fluff!

*buzz*

Tsunagu blinked slowly, his eyes adjusting to the morning light as he woke up to see two silver eyes staring straight back at him.

*buzz buzz*

“Good morning~” A familiar voice cooed.

Startled by the sudden greeting, the blond man grumbled and opened his eyes to see Shinya facing him, head perched in his hands as he smiled at his sleepy husband.

*buzz*

“Hm.....good morning....” Tsunagu mumbled, stretching his arms out and plopping them back down over the duvet.

*buzz*

“What....uhhh.....buzzing...huh?”

The silver haired man chuckled slightly at the other man’s confused expression. “Messages, love. It’s 7am. A rather special day, too, might I add~”

A rather special day?

What?

Was he missing something?

Tsunagu now felt even more confused than before as he laid there trying to piece things together.

“Wha-” he started, before being interrupted by Shinya letting out a loud laugh and pulling him into a big hug. “-hmmph?”

“Hahah! Ahhh, you are so stupid in the mornings, I love you so much hahaha~” The smaller man snickered as he buried his face into the crook of his husbands neck.

The still-very-confused giraffe blinked. “Did- did you just call me stupid?!”

“Heheh...”

“Oi!” Tsunagu pouted, blushing slightly at the sound of Shinya’s adorable laughter. “Don’t make fun of me......I’m really confused, I don’t know what’s happening, and I’m worried now that I’m missing something very important-”

Shinya simply chuckled and rolled his eyes in response to Tsunagu’s weary mumbles.

“Yes, dear~”

Yawning loudly, Tsunagu slowly sat up and started to gather his thoughts. Did he have work today? Or was it his day off? He wasn’t sure. But he could definitely tell he was missing something.

“Love?”

“Hm?” Shinya hummed inquisitively as he also propped himself up, hooking his arms around Tsunagu’s waist and resting his head on the other man’s shoulder.

“What....what day is it?”

Shinya smiled and let out a small sigh.

“Tuesday!” He exclaimed brightly, his eyes sparkling mischievously as he toyed with his partner’s confused morning brain.

“Ah.....wait, no, I mean the date. ‘Cause it might- oh come on, Shinya, stop-” Tsunagu huffed, realising the smaller man’s intentions to mess with him even more than he already was. That little sneaky ninja....

Shinya simply chuckled at the taller man’s response and slid off the side of the bed, making his way to go and get ready for the day. “Heh...it’s the 5th of October....ring any bells?”

The 5th of October????

The 5th of October........

“Ah!” Tsunagu jumped up, accidentally startling the other man with his sudden enthusiasm. “It’s my sister’s birthday!!!”

Wow.

Shinya stood there for a moment before bursting into laughter, though trying very hard to stifle it. ‘Oh my god he’s a fucking idiot-’

Tsunagu blinked. “W-why are you laughing?”

The silver haired man shook his head and tried to keep a straight face, thinking incredibly hard about his response before simply settling with a small, “it took ya long enough!”, before turning to head out of the bedroom.

“I’m phoning Ai, gonna pester her until she answers me- wait, where are you going?” Tsunagu questioned, rapidly unlocking his phone and dialling his sister’s number while managing to completely ignore the various messages and notifications that he had received.

“Ahh, it’s getting kinda late, I need to go and wake Izumi up for school, I have work, and I’m pretty sure you have a morning patrol, do you not?” Shinya scratched the back of his neck as he made his way out the door. “Make sure ehe- ahEm- make sure to tell her happy birthday for me!”

“Ah....yeah you have a point....okay then.”

Tsunagu looked down at the phone, making sure it was ringing, and waited for it to be answered.

*click*

“Hello?”

“Hey, dumbass, happy birthday!! Hope you have a great day, love you lots!” Tsunagu sang down the phone, showing no hesitation to greeting his beloved sibling.

“Thanks, you lanky shit, happy birthday to you too! Sending love from all of us, have a great day yourself!” Ai chirped in reply. “Don’t get lost on patrol this time either, stupid, last time we waited for hours at mom’s for you to finally show up.”

Tsunagu blinked. What was that? “Happy birthday to me too?”

“Huh?”

That’s when he finally fully woke up and actually realised what a literal dumbass he was being. A massive idiot. No wonder why Shinya was acting so smug and snickering to himself earlier.

“Oh my fucking god-” Tsunagu covered his face with his hands as he wallowed in his own embarrassment. “Ai, I’m a fucking idiot, it’s my birthday isn’t it?”

The line went silent for about ten seconds before the woman on the other side erupted into fits of laughter.

“OH MY GOD!!! HAHAHA THAT IS FANTASTIC-”

“Ai...”

“AHAHA TSU FORGOT- AHAHAhA-”

“Ai, stop, it’s my birthday-”

“OUR birthday! You somehow remembered that it was mine and forgot that it was yours as well- we’re TWINS Tsunagu, we have had the same birthday for over 37 years!! Hahaha~”

“Yeah, yeah, okay, whatever....” the blond man sheepishly muttered as he continued to hide his face in shame. This was going to be a long day...

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

After what seemed like a while of embarrassment and one-sided laughter, Tsunagu ended up hanging up and threw his phone to the side, huffing as he tried to shake off how embarrassed he felt.

He sat thinking about the day ahead of him for a little while before noticing some hushed whispers and muffled laughter coming from behind the door.

Smiling to himself slightly at how adorable his husband and daughter were, he rolled his eyes, laughing as he opened the door to reveal two sneaky silver haired troublemakers staring up at him with big mischievous eyes.

“Gotcha~” Tsunagu sang, reaching down to tickle Izumi under the chin playfully.

“Wahhhh!! He caught us!!!” The small child exclaimed, giggling as she jumped into her fathers arms. “Happy Birthday, dad!!”

“Oh, why thank you, sunshine!” The blond man happily responded, twirling his daughter around as he exchanged a soft gaze with his partner, who was now leaning against the door frame with a cup of warm tea.

“So you finally remembered? Got that old brain woken up finally~~” Shinya teased, a sly grin spread across his face.

Tsunagu chuckled. “Hey now, you’re only a few years younger than me y’know! And I’m only a year older than I was yesterday, leave me be!”

“Ahh, sorry sorry~”

“You better be. You weren’t any help this morning when I was oh so lost and confused! Laughing at me, unbelievable!”

“Papa said you were very silly and forgot your birthday!” Izumi chimed in, sticking her tongue out at her taller dad as he ruffled her hair.

“Did he now?” Tsunagu raised an eyebrow as he looked back up at Shinya.

“Noooo......” the sly ninja pouted, winking at their daughter in a very over exaggerated manner.

“I see.....”

Sharing plenty of mischievous joy, the three of them laughed and headed downstairs to get ready for the day.

Watching as their child whizzed around gathering all of her school items, the two parents stood silently together, smiling at Izumi’s enthusiasm as she twirled around.

Shinya wrapped his arm around Tsunagu and looked up at the taller figure gently as he felt the other return the same action, smiling as he felt his face heat up, ever so slightly, and familiarly.

“Happy birthday, hon.” The smaller figure said as he leant into his husband’s warm embrace. “Love you.”

Tsunagu sighed happily in response, feeling his heart flutter slightly as he looked down at his small husband, before leaning down and pecking Shinya’s forehead and smiling as he rested his head gently on top of his. “Thank you, dear.”

“Love you too.”
