Headcanons of Rakuzan in a haunted house
I haven't graced the tl with headcanons in a while, so I'm back by popular demand. This one was a suggestion from @japeneselunchtimerush, so thank you for the inspo, Aura! I'm just gonna go person by person since idk how else to format this.
Is probably the most excited about going to a haunted house out of everyone
Comments on every scary decoration on the exterior and interior of the house and talks about how cool they are because he's not actually here to get scared (he's a big adrenaline junkie and doesn't fear stuff like this)
The moment they walk into the haunted house, he's skipping around and yapping the whole way through, so much so that his running commentary takes the edge off the other Rakuzan members
Because of his boundless energy and enthusiasm, he is the one who leads the pack and protects his friends from jumpscares
Whenever they run into scary actors like zombies or clowns, he either stares at them with sparkles in his eyes or he just straight up laughs in their face if they're not convincing enough to him
Eventually, he becomes friends with all the actors, and he high-fives all of them on their way out of the haunted house
He agrees to go to a haunted house, but something he'll never tell anyone is that they do sometimes freak him out
Once they get to the house, everyone tries to rely on him to go in front because he's big and bulky, but deep down, Nebuya is lowkey scared, but doesn't know how to tell anyone without seeming like a wimp, so he just keeps quiet
Once the jumpscares start happening, though, he progressively gets more scared until he's hiding behind the rest of them trying to save himself
And he is definitely a screamer and a runner so the moment he thinks he's in real danger he's fucking BOOKING it
All the scary actors in the haunted house have the most fun scaring him because of the juxtaposition of his appearance vs his reaction
Once they leave the haunted house he vows to never enter another one again
The most openly terrified of haunted houses in the group
When he finds out they're going to one he begs his friends to pick literally any other activity to do for Halloween and they all say no (Nebuya only says no to protect his image tho)
He already starts getting uneasy from the outside of the house and constantly hides behind others so he doesn't have to go first
The moment the jumpscares start happening, he grabs for someone (probably Akashi) and screams like his life depends on it
He's also another favorite of the scary actors for that reason, since he's an easy target. It doesn't take much to freak him out and they love it
Once they're out of the haunted house he makes everyone pay for subjecting him to it by going out to eat at a restaurant of his choice
Has never really entertained the thought of going to a haunted house before but once Hayama comes to him with the idea, he's all for it and considers it a team bonding exercise (much to Mibuchi's dismay, who hoped Akashi would try to shut it down)
Since he only has experience with haunted house activities from the Teiko festival, where it was put together by a bunch of middle-schoolers, he was interested to see what a haunted house experience would be like put together by actual professionals
Just like Hayama, he's also taking everything in, like the decorations, the music, and the special effects. He even has his own comments here and there, theorizing about what he thinks the blood on the wall is made of, or how much time the staff spent putting up cobwebs
He doesn't really get jumpscared by anything because cheap horror leaves him relatively unfazed. But he does like pretending that there's something behind his friends to see how many of them would scream
Once the scary actors come out to chase them, he tries to calm his friends down by reinforcing it's not real ("It's okay. The chainsaw can't actually hurt you because they removed the chain." "SEI-CHAN YOU ARE NOT HELPING.")
To everyone's surprise, he says he enjoys the haunted house even though he wasn't scared at any point and says they should go again next year
Hates the idea of haunted houses, not because he's scared but because he thinks they're lame. He thinks it's even lamer to go with the rest of his team
Once they're there, he's already deadset on complaining the whole time, saying that he doesn't even know why he agreed to any of this and that he wants to go home and read (and yet he still showed up to an event that wasn't mandatory, soooo)
He's not impressed by any of the scary decorations or special effects, claiming that they're not scary at all and that he doesn't understand who could possibly be terrified of something like this (but then he sees how Nebuya and Mibuchi react and he retracts his statement)
He also gets a kick out of scaring the rest of his teammates by pretending there's something behind them, just to hear them scream. It's the only time he enjoys himself throughout the whole ordeal
When the scary actors come out to chase them, he's still not scared and is just annoyed since most of the group is pushing and shoving him out of the way to escape the room
Once it's all over, he still declares it a waste of time, but then goes speechless when Akashi thanks him for coming anyway
Okay, that's all from me today. I hope y'all enjoy, and Happy Spooky Month! 🦇🎃🍬👻
