New Deadly in Love teaser below… here are my best speculations.
MC will have to walk through a maze using remote vocal guidance from the ghouls. It looks like they’re using some sort of map to guide her, but I don’t think the anomaly would make it that simple. There has to be some sort of catch… maybe certain sections of the maze are not on the map. As she gets closer to her time limit, the maze fills up with water. If her heart rate elevates, the water level rises quicker. It looks like the same goes for the ghouls as well… if their heart rates rise, then the maze fills up faster. If she drowns, everyone loses. It seems like the method to the game is for everyone to stay as calm as possible so that their heart rates don’t spike.
This doesn’t appear to be the game/challenge from the last teaser we got of MC in the cage, so this must be another challenge entirely.
I just wonder whose vitals would be beating like crazy. I want to say Alan because I know the man would be stressed. But at the same time, I think Sho would be able to help him calm down. Ritsu might talk a lot, but when it's game mode, I think he locks tf in and remains calm in most situations, he has the heart rate of a trained sniper.
Meanwhile, I like to believe Haku and Elias as having such low resting heart rates that medical staff would check the monitor twice just to make sure they're still alive.
I was trying to think about the same thing, but I honestly have no idea who would be the most calm, and who would be the least calm. I can really see it going in any direction. I think I am worried about MC’s heart rate increasing the most out of everyone. The poor girl has already endured enough.
If the ghouls’s heart rates elevate, I don’t think it would be from them panicking for MC’s life; in my head, the most plausible scenario would be their heart rates elevating from arguing with each other about what to do, what directions to give MC, who should play what role in guiding her, or something else adjacent to that. We know the anomaly’s goal is to sow so much distrust between everyone that they end up turning against each other. Teamwork, agreeing to work together, that’s likely going to be the biggest challenge.
Warnings: I needed to do something low effort today and I was inspired by @/bunnis genshin list! Just a simple ranking from 1-10 for each man~ might continue ~
Haru trusts you, there's no doubt about that. But he does fear he doesn't get enough time with you and that it'll burn you out and when something better offers to come along you might take it without feeling like you're in a relationship. But Haru never talks about it, so he overcompensates when you do have time together just so you always come back. That's how you keep a good customer~
Towa: 10000000000000/10
This man fluctuates from 0 to 100. Some days, he doesn't care as much that you're hanging out with someone else for a while. It's when people touch you, ruin your beautiful scent with their own and try to take away the beautiful dandelion from his hands. You don't get to make a wish, buck-o, that's his job. Towa doesn't hide it either, he's all impulse and will probably headbutt someone if they say the wrong thing. Yes lightning is effective too but a headbutt is personal.
I genuinely think he would kill over this if it got out of hand. Be careful.
Ren: 8/10
Hi, my name's Ren and welcome to my insecurity dungeon where I keep all my thoughts about you leaving me. Especially for your way cooler and kinder friends who definitely treat you better than I ever could. But I'll never tell you any of this if I can help it because that'll scare you away, which would just lose you, but not telling you will make me colder and probably lose you anyways - either way it's a self fulfilling prophecy. There's a whole door over here just for Sho, yeah, that one scares me the most. Please stop hanging out with him -
Welcome to tdbk where we have insecure men after insecure men. He's no better unfortunately, with all those back thoughts swirling around his mind at any given day there's bound to be a few about you being too chummy with the other men here. There are men he trusts, those he knows he has enough control over usually or knowledge of their respectable bounds. But others? Not so much. It's not a lack of trust in you, darling, my beautiful perfect darling, it's just the world is a terrible place... And people who make pacts with demons aren't the most up and up of society.
Haku: 0/10 or 4/10
I'm caught between Haku genuinely doesn't think anything of it and knows you're fine to him just keeping everything on the surface seeming chill but wanting nothing more than to flip Tohma for even touching you like he has a right to. Trying to show him up on his own territory? Nuh uh.
It's more likely just 0 or 1 out of 10, where he hears you're out late with the boys and just goes send me a pic, have fun pookie.
Zenji: 1/10
Not 0. Because unfortunately much like Rui, Zenji cannot touch you and while he's extremely comfortable with you and your friendships, not even thinking anything of it, his jealousy stems from a lack of touch. He wants to touch you, longs to hold your hand even for a little while with his head on your shoulder, his envy is so shameful, stemming from the moments he sees others touch you so causally... If only that were him...
You step into the bar.
The loud music, the smell of alcohol, and wisps of smoke wrap around you instantly.
This was the last place the victim had been seen alive.
She was close to one of the employees here.
You were tasked to talk to him while the rest of Vagastrom collected information elsewhere.
“Excuse me–”
The bartender turns.
You almost gasp at the familiar face.
Tomoya.
You immediately look away, pulling your collar up to cover your face. Your heart pounds through your chest. It’ll be a problem if he recognizes you.
“What can I get you?”
His voice is flat. Disinterested. The same as before.
“Uhhh… Can I speak to… the owner?” You purposefully pitch your voice slightly higher. The last time he saw you, you were a man.
Silence.
You don’t look up, but you feel it. His gaze. Lingering. Studying.
Did he figure it out?
“And what business do you have with him?”
“I have questions. About a friend.”
A pause.
“Boss,” Tomoya calls over his shoulder. “Someone for you.”
He leaves just like that, disappearing behind the back door.
You sigh in relief.
A large man with a gentle smile walks up to you.
“What’s up?”
“Hi. I’m sorry to disturb you but I wanted to ask you about her.”
You show him a picture of the victim.
His expression darkens. He must’ve heard the news already.
“Alright. Should we speak outside? It’s a bit loud in here.”
You nod.
___
The owner takes you through the employee backdoor.
The alley behind the bar is starkly quiet.
The man leans against the wall, lighting a cigarette.
He offers the pack to you.
“Want one?”
“No thank you.”
Instead you pull out your notes.
You start with the basic things. How they met. How close they were, when he saw her last.
He answers them all with ease.
Then you shift,
“It seems you are aware of her death,” you say carefully. “How did you hear about it?”
The question seems to linger.
He exhales slowly, smoke curling between you.
“Funny thing…” he mutters. “I was gonna ask you the same thing.”
Your grip tightens slightly around your notebook.
His eyes flicker toward you. No grief. Just hollow.
“People like you always show up after.”
You swallow.
“...After what?”
He smiles. Too wide.
“After someone sees something they shouldn’t.”
Your stomach drops.
He straightens, dropping the cigar from his fingers.
“She wouldn’t stop screaming…” His voice distorts– 5 voices overlapping— no fighting against each other.
“So I made her quiet.”
His shoulders jerk violently. You step back immediately.
His arm splits, not cleanly, like it’s forcing its way out from beneath his skin.
Purple veins crawl up his arms. His neck. His eyes.
Spreading, pulsing.
His shadow stretches against the long alley wall– wrong, irregular, inhuman.
The door slams open behind you.
Great. The last thing you needed was a random witness.
“Oi.” Footsteps. Calm. Unhurried. “What the hell is that?”
Your eyes widen.
"T-Tomoya?"
He doesn’t wait for an answer. He steps out in front of you, hands still in his pockets.
“You have to go back inside. Now”
“And what’s a scrawny kid like you gonna do?”
You hold his arm, trying to pull him back from danger.
But it’s too late.
The anomaly lunges.
Tomoya clicks his tongue, pulling one hand free.
He swings— and something follows his movement.
A jagged, violent streak tears through the air.
The same color as the ink etched into his tattoo.
It SLAMS into the monster.
The impact echoes through the alley.
The anomaly staggers, then falls to the ground.
Its body glitches– flickering between forms.
Like it can’t decide what it is.
Tomoya freezes.
He stares at his hand.
“...What the hell was that?”
He seems just as surprised as you.
The anomaly starts to move, letting out a broken sound.
You grab his hand.
“For now, we run.”
The two of you dash past the anomaly.
The alley trembles behind you. A distorted, broken roar echoes.
It’s coming.
Fast. Faster.
You stop abruptly.
Tomoya nearly crashes into you.
“What the—”
You stand in front of a vending machine.
“Just a second,” you mutter, hands shaking as you punch in the code.
“Are you seriously trying to get a drink right now?”
You tap your school card.
Beep.
The machine clicks open.
Not to drinks. To something else.
A hidden entrance. A galaxy beyond it.
“What... is this?” he breathes.
The roar echoes again. Closer now.
You grab his hand.
“Come on.”
You pull him inside
___
The Galaxy Express hums softly beneath your feet.
Both of you sit.
Silence stretches between you.
Where do you even start?
Finally, he speaks.
“So,” He leans back slightly, “You’re that guy from the host club.”
You stiffen.
“Or should I say… girl?”
You sigh.
“Yeah.”
“I knew it.”
“I guess my disguise wasn’t good enough.”
“It’s not just that.”
He leans in suddenly. You flinch.
He inhales lightly.
“Your smell.”
Your face heats instantly. You shift a few inches back, covering your neck.
“D-Do I smell bad?”
A short laugh escapes him.
“No.” He slumps back into his seat. “It’s nice.”
You blink.
“...Nice?”
“Yeah.” He shrugs. “Like flowers.”
Your heart skips.
“My sister uses the same kind.”
Flowers. Kyklos.
This day is eerily similar to the day you were cursed.
Haku also held your hand as he stepped into the galaxy with you.
He took you to Darkwick. And you never left.
Your fingers tighten in your lap.
Guilt creeps in. You dragged him here.
You were so focused on surviving, you didn’t think ahead.
“I… I’m sorry.”
“What for?”
“For dragging you into this.”
You don’t elaborate. You don’t need to.
He studies you for a moment.
Then sighs.
“It’s fine.”
“You don’t understand,” you press, your voice dropping. “If you stay… your life might—”
“I’ve already lost what mattered.”
You go still.
What about your sister?
But even you’re not brave enough to ask that.
He looks at his hand, the one that struck the anomaly.
Flexes it slightly.
“...If there’s even a chance this place has answers,” he continues, almost a whisper now, “I’m not walking away.”
You hesitate.
“...Even so. If you want to leave, now’s your chance. I’ll do everything I can to help.”
He watches your eyes. The sincerity. The tension. The guilt.
Then stretches his arms across the backrest.
“You always this serious?”
You frown.
“This is serious.”
“Yeah. I know.”
A small pause.
His gaze drifts back to his hand, his thoughts clearly elsewhere.
He shakes his head.
“Yeah. Not leaving.”
You sigh, pinching the bridge of your nose, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
A faint scoff.
“I won’t.”
A beat.
“...I’ve got nothing to go back to anyway.”
Before you can respond—
The train slows.
“Meow, meow, meow. You’ve arrived at Darkwick Academy.”
“Darkwick Academy, huh?”
Tomoya stands before you do.
There’s no hesitation in him now. Only curiosity. And resolve.
He glances back, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.
listen, i've only been playing for about 2 months...i don't know what happened...he hit me like a truck. its almost a little unappreciated because i've always been a Sasuke waifu but he's really bout to push my mans off the #1 spot. 😵
Tbh, I think every single one of them would be a DILF once they age, but just take this with a grain of salt.
𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐧, 𝐌𝐢𝐨, 𝐒𝐡𝐨, 𝐓𝐨𝐡𝐦𝐚: 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲
I don't even think I need to explain these 4. They age like fcking fine wine, just in very different ways.
Tohma might grow more like a classic gentleman and hmm, cunning and sly. I just know he'd piss off so many people. The monocle stays, or he switches to some glasses. Uhmm, mhmmmm, delicious.
I can imagine him reaching that age where he no longer needs to raise his voice because somehow every word coming out of his mouth already sounds like a threat. Like he'll smile politely at you while absolutely ruining your entire argument in three sentences. The type of man who walks into a room and everybody suddenly remembers they should probably sit up straight. 😭
Also, imagine the silver streaks. JUST IMAGINE. Not fully gray, just enough to make people feral. The type of man who would be reading a newspaper while drinking tea and look like the final boss of a political conspiracy.
While Alan will be the beekeeper age type, iykyk. Like a sturdy ancient tree, like a brick wall, like a bear. Uhm hmm. Uhmmmm, dayum.
I think Mio and Sho will fall into this same category because they do a lot of labor work, so they likely would grow their bodies out to be more sturdy. Yeah. We have the bear dad squad here.
The thing with Alan is that I don't think he'd even realize he's attractive. That's the dangerous part. Bro would be carrying 50 kilograms of equipment like it's nothing while asking if everyone remembered to eat lunch.
Meanwhile, people are staring 👁👄👁
Mio and Sho belong to that "can absolutely carry their child under one arm and six grocery bags under the other" category.
The sturdy dad build. The practical dad build.
The "I can fix your sink, your roof, your emotional problems, and your tax paperwork" build. 😋🤤
Bear dad squad. Bear dad squad. Bear dad squad.
𝐇𝐚𝐤𝐮, 𝐉𝐢𝐧, 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐚: 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥
I can imagine Haku, Jin, and Taiga having that commander DILF energy once they hit that certain age, iykyk 👀
Like Jin as Mr. Kamurai, as the president. Hair slicked back with his suit and tie, and I hope he could regain his charisma at some point. I can imagine some glabellar lines on him 🤤 With age comes wisdom type sht.
He's the type that becomes more attractive because he finally grows into himself.
Imagine him in his late 40s or early 50s. Hair slicked back, perfectly fitted suit. A face that clearly shows he's lived through some sht.
The glabellar lines are there. The smile lines are there too, enough to make him look experienced. Like every wrinkle comes with a story.
There is something insanely attractive about a man who no longer feels the need to prove himself.
Haku as the head priest of the Shinto shrine once he takes the position. Imagine him wearing those hakama and haori, walking around doing his job at the shrine and meeting his guests. Uhmmhmmmmm 😋
He's peaceful. Imagine visiting the shrine and seeing him sweeping the grounds in the morning.
The sunlight, the traditional clothing, the calm smile.
The fact that he remembers everybody's names.
The fact that children immediately trust him.
The fact that old people love talking to him.
The fact that he somehow always knows exactly what to say.
Mr and Mrs Kusanagi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taiga because imagine. I SAID IMAGINE.
Y'all remember what he told Ritsu and Romeo at the end of SS1, right?
The fact that he'd be in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Organized Crime Department, or more specifically, the criminal department.
I can imagine him in his 40s, in his uniform, solving cases, kicking ass, and capturing criminals 😋🤤
The gray hair. Let's talk about the gray hair.
Not fully gray, just enough. A little bit near the temples. A little bit mixed into the back. Suddenly the man gains +500 aura.
Like excuse me???
Imagine him standing over a crime board looking exhausted because he's been awake for 20 hours trying to solve a case.
The sleeves rolled up. The stare of a man who has seen too much.
OMFG
And then Alan shows up because Tactical Anomaly Special Forces got involved.
Alan and Taiga working together. Alan carrying heavy equipment. Taiga carrying the entire investigation.
DILF DUO
I AM LOOKING RESPECTFULLY 👁👄👁
𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐬, 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐮, 𝐙𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐢, 𝐉𝐢𝐫𝐨: 𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞
I like to imagine Subaru is still elegant, but he has some crow's feet and barcode lines now. It just adds more highlights to his aging beauty. He's aging well.
Honestly, Subaru is the definition of graceful aging.
I don't think he'd ever become rugged or particularly intimidating. Even in his 40s and 50s, he'd still have that elegant, refined appearance. The kind of person who somehow always looks expensive no matter what he's wearing.
You know those people who can wear the most normal outfit imaginable and still somehow look like they're attending a luxury event?
Yeah. That.
The crow's feet around his eyes would honestly make him prettier. Every smile would look warmer. Every laugh would look more genuine.
I also feel like he'd be the type who ages slowly enough that people don't notice until they compare photos from twenty years ago.
Then suddenly everybody is like:
"Holy sht, when did he get even more handsome?"
Zenji.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. OH. OH. OH. OH. OH.
I can imagine all types of things for him.
He still has his long hair and unfortunately for you, oh, he looks way way way way hotter and more attractive the more he ages and the longer he grows his hair. Ayayaya.
The thing about Zenji is that I genuinely think age works in his favor.
Some people peak in their 20s. Zenji looks like the type who starts entering his final form at 40.
The long hair stays. The smile lines deepen. The bunny lines appear. The face gets slightly sharper. The confidence increases.
I can absolutely imagine him growing a subtle goatee too.
Not a huge beard, Just enough to make people stare for a concerning amount of time.
I don't think he'd even change that much. He'd just become a more powerful version of himself. Like a Pokémon evolution.
🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥🥵
Same with Zenji, Jiro also has bunny lines.
Maybe wearing glasses makes them stand out even more. Attractive af now.
Imagine him aging with that mole around his mouth too.
OMFG LET ME FCKING LICK IT!!!! 😛 I'm sorry.
Anyway.
Jiro is one of those people whose attractiveness comes from familiarity. The more years pass, the more comfortable he becomes in his own skin.
The glasses. The smile. The mole. The little facial lines. The relaxed posture.
Everything starts working together. He's just... pleasant, comfortable and reliable.
AND dangerously easy to develop feelings for.
The type of man who remembers exactly how you take your coffee.
The type of man who notices when you're tired.
The type of man who remembers small details from conversations that happened 6 months ago.
Tbh, I can't quite imagine Elias yet.
I think he'd stay younger than his real age, though yeah, his melanin would also fade slightly. The smile lines and glabellar lines would be slightly clearer now.
Uhm hmm.
Elias is weird because I feel like he'd somehow still look young, younger than he should.
The type of man where people keep guessing his age wrong.
Like there's no way you're fifty. What do you mean you're fifty. Explain yourself.
I think his smile lines would become his defining feature. Because Elias smiles a lot. So naturally, age would leave evidence of that.
Haru. He'd definitely have wrinkles, but they're subtle enough that people tend not to notice.
But I can imagine Haru losing some of his hair, like a receding hairline.
He's still a gorgeous old man though 😻😻😍😍
Haru would probably be the least concerned about aging.
Everybody else is panicking.
The wrinkles appear. He shrugs.
The hairline starts moving backward. He shrugs.
The man simply refuses to care. And somehow that confidence makes him more attractive.
I can also imagine him becoming one of those older men who look incredibly soft and approachable until somebody actually challenges him.
Then suddenly you remember why he's Haru ehhehehehehehhe
Rui would be kind of the same.
He ages fine and keeps his body lean and fit.
The type that still gets every eye on him every time he goes grocery shopping.
Loves gardening. The gardening makes him even more powerful.
I'm serious.
Something about a mature man who spends his mornings tending flowers and plants is unfair.
The rolled up sleeves. The gloves. The little smile when talking about plants. The knowledge. The patience.
The fact that he absolutely knows the scientific names of every flower in existence.
Leo annoyingly stays younger for his age for quite some time.
He's no longer cute, of course. But he's still good looking in some way because he likely knows how to take care of himself.
Leo is that one guy who reaches 50 and still somehow looks 35.
Everybody hates him. Respectfully.
The skincare routine must be studied by scientists.
The genetics must be investigated.
Because what do you mean you barely aged???
Even when he grows older, he'd still keep that youthful energy.
Like the type of person who still keeps up with trends.
Still tries new things. Still gets excited about hobbies. Still has that spark.
You look at him and immediately think: "Damn. Life hasn't beaten this man yet." (Let me handle that)
𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨, 𝐉𝐨: 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐞.
Holy shit, absolutely cinematic because the older these two get, the hotter they become.
Especially Romeo. I can imagine the crow's feet he has just making his eyes even prettier, and his smile growing even deeper and more seductive than when he was young.
Damn.
In my language, there is this idiom:
"The older the ginger, the spicier it gets; the longer the wine is aged, the richer it becomes."
Yep. That's Romeo. That is EXACTLY Romeo.
Because Romeo is already attractive when he's young.
You know how some people become more charming with age?
The smile lines get deeper. The crow's feet become more visible. The confidence grows. The patience grows. The emotional intelligence grows.
Suddenly, every conversation feels like he's flirting even when he's absolutely not.
The older version of Romeo feels less like a pretty boy and more like a man people accidentally fall in love with.
I also think he'd become calmer. Romeo somehow still has enough charisma to make people forget what they were talking about halfway through a conversation.
I can imagine him laughing more. And every single smile line would make him even more attractive.
Same goes for Jo.
Oh, he's beautiful. He's already beautiful.
The issue is that I think Jo would age in a way that makes him look even more elegant. The type that comes from experience.
Uhm hmhmmmmm 😋🤤😋
We even have MILF (Mother I Like to Fry Rice For). No because imagine Jojorin twenty years later.
The older Jo gets, the more I think he'd develop that quiet confidence. The kind where he doesn't need attention because attention naturally comes to him.
That combination of beauty and reliability?
And if Romeo and Jo are ever standing next to each other?
I'm sorry. Nobody else in that room matters anymore.
They're stealing all the attention. They're stealing all the aura. They're stealing all the oxygen.
I don't make the rules.
𝐑𝐞𝐧: 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐝?
But his body is so sturdy and built so well?
Like, he also does a lot of labor, equal to the amount of time he lazes around watching movies and playing games.
Yeah, he just grows solid in some way.
Ren ages into a dad. And somehow that's exactly what makes him attractive.
The man is built like somebody who can carry furniture by himself. The man is built like somebody who can fix things around the house. The man is built like somebody who can pick up a sleeping child without waking them up.
The fact that he looks like somebody you can always depend on.
I can imagine him getting broader with age too.
The type of man who gets approached and hit on even when people know he has a family already.
BACK THE FUCK AWAY. THE MAN IS TAKEN.
Ren probably wouldn't even notice. Somebody is literally flirting with him.
Ren:
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Sorry, I was thinking about what to cook for dinner."
The type of man that would be too absorbed in taking care of his babies to even care about anything around him.
A bit oblivious. A lot oblivious, actually.
I can imagine him showing people approximately 6 hundred photos of his children. Nobody asked, he's doing it anyway.
The moment he becomes a father, his entire personality becomes:
The posture of somebody who knows exactly where he belongs.
And somehow he still has enough of that youthful face left that people underestimate him.
The younger lawyers look at him and think:
"Oh, he doesn't seem that intimidating."
Then he starts talking.
"...."
Because Ritsu feels like the type who would only get more articulate with age. The years polish him like sharpening a blade.
The type of man who can destroy your entire argument while sounding completely polite 😭😭😭
I can also imagine him growing a beard eventually. Not because he particularly wants one. Because he's tired of people assuming he's younger than he actually is.
Like sir is 48 years old. Has enough legal experience to write textbooks. Has won more cases than you've had birthdays.
And somebody still asks if he's the intern. At that point I'd grow the beard too.
Attorney Ritsu Shinjo 🤤
No because tell me that doesn't sound expensive.
The older he gets, the more he starts looking like he belongs in one of those paintings where a powerful nobleman stares at you from across the room. And somehow that's hot.
I don't make the rules.
𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐊𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐨
I think they age just fine like typical dads, but what makes them attractive now is that they have this air of experience around them, iykyk.
Lucas is a gentleman. We all know that. Of course he'd grow even more attractive with age.
Actually, I think Lucas would be one of those people whose attractiveness becomes easier to understand as he gets older.
When he's young, you notice the appearance first. When he's older, you notice the person.
I can imagine Lucas becoming incredibly charming in his 40s and 50s.
The type of man who makes everybody comfortable around him. The type who can talk to anybody.
The gentleman aura only gets stronger and the smile gets warmer.
The older version of Lucas feels like the type of man your parents immediately trust.
Your grandparents trust. Your dog trusts. Your children trust. Everybody trusts him.
That's attractive af.
But y'all know what makes Kaito attractive when he grows older?
The way he takes care of children. And how his kids trust him with their hearts.
No because seriously. That's his strongest weapon. His heart is the strongest weapon he has.
Yk how when children are in danger, they'd call out the name of the person they trust most?
I can imagine your child calling for Kaito if they feel unsafe.
And Kaito immediately rushing over with pure parental instinct.
I can imagine him becoming one of those dads who always has snacks, tissues, medicine....
The type of dad who remembers every school event. Every birthday. Every little achievement.
The type of dad who still listens when his children talk about their interests. Even if he doesn't understand a single thing.
The older Kaito gets, the more he becomes the definition of safety, comfort, and home.
Because I feel like Yuri would look younger for his age but still old enough because ahahaha, he's the academic weapon.
Of course he'd look older because of, well... Academics, yk.
The thing with Yuri is that I don't think physical aging would be the first thing people notice.
The first thing people notice is the academic aura.
The "this man has not slept properly in fifteen years" aura.
The "I accidentally rewrote an entire research paper at 3 AM because I found one sentence unsatisfactory" aura.
The "please stop giving yourself more work" aura😭😭😭
I can imagine him still looking relatively young than expected.
Stress starts showing up in tiny ways.
Maybe some faint lines around his eyes. Maybe slightly more visible smile lines. Maybe that permanently tired look that every academic eventually unlocks as a special achievement.
But somehow it works.
Because the older Yuri gets, the more he starts looking like one of those professors students accidentally develop a crush on.
You know exactly what I'm talking about.
The professor who walks into the lecture hall carrying 3 books, a laptop, 3 notebooks, and somehow still remembers every student's name.
The professor who starts explaining a topic and suddenly the entire room is silent because everybody is genuinely listening.
The professor whose office hours somehow become life advice sessions.
The professor who looks mildly sleep deprived but also weirdly wise.
That kind of attractive, the dangerous intellectual kind.
I also think age would make Yuri calmer, he is more comfortable with himself.
The type of person who has stopped worrying about whether people understand him. The type who knows exactly who he is.
That confidence is doing half the work already. 🤤
Now Lyca is weird. Because I genuinely think he'd age ridiculously slowly.
The type of man who reaches forty and somehow still looks thirty. Reaches fifty and somehow still looks forty.
Like excuse me? What is your skincare routine? What ancient forest spirit did you make a deal with? Explain yourself immediately😭
I think he'd be somewhere between Ren and Sho. Like, they all do labor work.
But somehow I don't think Lyca would bulk up the same way. He'd stay lean and solid.
The type of strength that's built through years of physical work rather than training.
The type where you don't realize how strong somebody is until they casually move something that should require 3 people.
I can also imagine him becoming one of those older men who spend a lot of time outdoors. The sun. The wind. The fresh air.
Everything starts coming together.
And unlike Ren's "dad" energy or Sho's "bear" energy, Lyca feels more like... How do I explain this?
The reliable village man energy.
The guy everybody goes to when they need help.
The guy who somehow knows how to fix everything.
The guy who doesn't talk much about what he's done because helping people is just normal to him.
That kind of attractive sneaks up on you.
You're watching him carry heavy equipment and suddenly you're questioning things.
I also think he'd keep that youthful feeling/spirit for a very long time.
Like even when he's older, there's still something energetic about him.
If y'all want him to resemble Neros a little more then sure. You can absolutely imagine him fitting the classic DILF archetype.
𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚, 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐄𝐝
I mean. Do they even age? Can they change their appearance? Or does Ed forever stay the twink he is? Idk.
This category is difficult because I'm not even fully convinced these mfs obey the laws of aging.
Let's start with Ed. Because unlike the other two, I can actually imagine Ed getting older.
And unfortunately. Unfortunately. The man ages like fine wine too. 🤤
Because Ed already knows he's attractive. The type of person who can walk into a room and immediately attract attention without even trying.
He'd be fully aware of the effect he has on people. That smug little confidence? Still there 😭😭😭
I can imagine him aging into one of those incredibly attractive older men who somehow become more popular with age.
Like how is that fair? How does that even work?
Oh boy. Shion is hard. Really hard.
Because whenever I try to imagine older Shion, my brain immediately starts producing images that look like they belong in a fantasy novel.
I think he'd get sharper. The cheekbones become more defined. The features become more striking. But somehow also more unsettling.
In a good way 👁👄👁
Because no matter how old he gets, I think there would always be something about him that reminds you he's not entirely human.
Or at least not entirely normal.
Imagine a mature gothic merfolk. That's basically where my brain keeps landing. Long hair. Sharp features. Elegant posture.
The kind of person who looks beautiful from a distance and vaguely dangerous up close. The type of beauty that makes you stare. And then immediately question whether staring was a good idea.
Towa. Bro. BRO.
I genuinely cannot imagine Towa aging.
I am trying. I am really trying.
Every time I attempt to picture older Towa, my brain just gives me...
Towa. That's it. Just Towa.
Maybe slightly taller. Maybe slightly different haircut. Maybe......😭
I feel like he would somehow reach age 50 and still look like he reached age 30.
Everybody around him is aging. Everybody around him is developing wrinkles. Everybody around him is becoming more mature.
I don't know if he'd become more handsome.
I don't know if he'd become more distinguished.
I don't know if he'd become more attractive.
The closest thing I can imagine is that he becomes calmer maybe....
For Jiro, Subaru, and Kaito, ( if you wanted to add others you can )
You know how Jiro and Subaru both of moles, right? Especially Jiro. And Kaito has a lot of little freckles on his cute little face?
What if they were paired with an Mc who loves to kiss those features? Every moment and opportunity they have to kiss his moles / freckles will always be taken! Kissing every mole in sight and counting each freckle for every kiss given?
I feel like Kaito would be insecure about his freckles so maybe this would make him proud that he has them, Jiro not thinking about them whatsoever, and I imagine Subaru has been complemented on that more next to his eye before!

Yeah this is adorable 🥹 for research purposes I had to be like "okay pretty boy let's see you up close 🧐🔎" on every ghoul to see if anyone else has them (≧▽≦) Shion should count too, right? And I know what Ed's marks are but.. I'll indulge myself 🤫
If I missed any of them having moles do let me know maybe my inspection wasn't enough! Anywaysss

he doesn't even seem to know what you're doing at first?
maybe you just feel like kissing that spot, no big deal right?
but he's observant and can't help but notice how frequently you've been doing this
so eventually he does ask what your deal is
when you tell him it's the mole on his chin you're kissing he's just like "oh, right. Why are you doing that?"
like he doesn't even acknowledge having it but to be fair, he does need to wear a mask so can't blame him
and now you have to explain to him how pretty you find it and how much you like it
and he doesn't really understand of course. Will literally start explaining to you what moles are in detail
but that's fine, he doesn't stop you from kissing it either you can keep going!
in fact he learns to make sure not to forget to lower the mask more so that the mole is visible whenever you see him
there's just some kind of warmth blooming im his chest when you giggle while kissing it and he finds himself.. craving more
but you know what would be even better? Kissing his scars, imagine that.. but I feel like I need to end it here otherwise this will get nsfw (≧▽≦)

poor guy literally freezes the first time you're peppering his face with kisses
cause like he doesn't mind but what is going on, did he die and go to heaven???
does not ask at first though, what if it really is a dream?
after a few times though, it's hard to contain his curiosity
so when you explain it's the freckles on his face that you're kissing he freezes again..
his freckles? you actually find them cute?
you're not messing with him are you?
I recommend kissing him silly to shut down any of his insecurities bubbling up
when you start counting each freckle, accentuating it with a small kiss, he literally melts
it's how gentle you're being, how you're looking at him like he's the most precious guy in the world
he cannot believe his luck, maybe he really did die already!
now whenever you see him you just can't stop yourself from "greeting" every single freckles of his too
and oh how he loves the mornings now, it makes his days so much better and it works wonders on his confidence too!
please never stop

let's just say he was not expecting this
somehow the feeling of your soft lips on his skin like that feels much more intimate than a kiss pressed to his lips
not sure how to respond so he just blushes all over, trying to find the courage to ask why you're doing this
please don't torture this cutie and explain it yourself cause he will not blush any less no matter how many times you do this!
when you compliment the mole under his eye saying how much more handsome it makes him look his eyes widen
you broke the man. Do something. Fix him it's your fault! *runs away*
okay jokes aside he just lets out a small shy chuckle
he doesn't want to sound full of himself or anything like that but.. a few people did compliment it before, he says
hearing it from you feels entirely different though
it makes him feel seen, really seen, like under the microscope. But he doesn't mind when it's you
you notice with time how it seems to relax him whenever you kiss that spot
so it's a great "tactic" to catch him off guard and pull him out of his overthinking when it happens!

you're interrupted immediately
why are you even putting your lips on his face? it makes him shiver
what.are.you.doing. explain.now
he doesn't look like he understands your sentiment honestly..
when you praise how pretty his moles are and how it really adds to his look he straight up laughs he might just carve them out and gift you on your birthday
how.. thoughtful and romantic, right?
anyways. stop doing that.
actually don't. actually, yes... actually...
can't make up his mind cause this feels so foreign to him, what is that exactly
affection? that sounds disgusting who came up with that what's the purpose even
he says that but you notice how he eventually stops pushing you away
he still grumbles of course but deep down it makes his chest feel so tight it's starting to get addictive
but don't you dare to bring his attention to it, you never know what might happen with this one. Literally!

Edward Hart
❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥
is intrigued the moment you place the first soft kisses to the marks on his neck
he's always attentive when it comes to your affection after all
teases you of course, it's Ed we're talking about, asking if you're trying to undo his transformation with your little kisses
saying that you might need a little more than that.. basically his version of "keep going don't stop"
it feels so nice he's going to enjoy it shamelessly. Since you're offering, why wouldn't he?
depending on how you look at this, the downside could be that's he's always so smug about this, exposing more of his neck to you like a cat expecting more affection
this is perfect. don't ever stop
well if you do he's just going to start ask for it himself, he knows how to get his way and is not embarrassed of it
since you like the marks so much, maybe you'll let him give you matching ones? wouldn't that be just cute?
oh relax he's just joking.. or is he? (he is unless you really up for it)
+ if you don't have enough of my yapping here's small bonus little scenes for each guy cause I couldn't help myself 😔

"Good morning," you greet Jiro, not with a kiss to his lips, but to his mole on his cheek.
He's used to it by now.
"Good morning. I noticed this is your preferred form of greeting recently. Do you like kissing it more than other spots?"
"Depends," you tease, tugging him a little closer by grabbing his tie, "what are the other spots we're talking about?"
"My lips," he says, straight to the point. That's Jiro. "I'd like it if you kissed my lips too."
Your teasing falters, momentarily surprised by his honest request. But who are you to refuse him?
❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･
"One... two.." you hum softly as you cradle Kaito's face in your hands, peppering his face with kisses just like every morning.
"Keep going. I mean, it's best to say if they're all here just in case, right?" The ghoul laughs nervously as if afraid of the moment ending too soon.
"You're right," you giggle, pressing a quick kiss to his nose, "you're so smart."
You continue your counting, eventually reaching the last one of his freckles. You're about to pull away, when Kaito reaches up to stop you.
"Can you maybe.. double check today? Just in case," he asks hesitantly, having no idea what his adorableness is doing to your heart.
❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･
"Subaru, I can almost hear your thoughts. Please stop," you sigh softly as you sit beside him.
He's been stressing non stop today, and seeing him anxious like that was breaking your heart.
"I-I'm sorry it's just that-" he stops immediately when you suddenly use your little trick.
Kissing the mole under his eye.
"Yeah? What's on your mind?" you hum softly, placing another kiss, and his face reddens almost immediately.
You can see the tension in his shoulders slowly melting away as you continue your gentle caress, while he finally confesses what's troubling him so bad.
❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･
"I told you to stop it already. It's disgusting," Shion protests without actually making any effort to push you away as you kiss the moles under his eyes.
"But I can't help myself," you coo teasingly, "they're so adorable!"
Shion scoffs at your blatant try. But still doesn't move away.
"It's so gross. Your lips are warm."
"That's because I'm a living being. Of course they're going to be warm," you huff.
"That can be changed," he suddenly smiles, dangerous kind of mischief dancing in his eyes. You know what he means.
"Yeah? And who will then give you your dose of those gross little kisses you hate so much?"
You can see you outsmarted him this one time, though he doesn't acknowledge it with words, settling for a frown.
❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･•┈┈┈❥･
"Keep trying, dear. Who knows, you might just undo my transformation with this eagerness of yours today," Edward teases.
You huff at him, running a finger over the marks on his neck you just kissed before nibbling at them in retaliation.
But he only lets out a delighted, breathy chuckle, exposing more of his neck to you.
"Oh, did you change your mind? Now you're just marking your terrority?"
"Shut up. You're much more handsome when you're not being so smug," you throw at him.
Edward knows when to stop. He smiles, giving you a fake apologetic look and urging you to continue. And you do, unable to free yourself out of the charm of his crimson eyes staring straight into your soul.
⋆.𐙚 ̊ Party people, I'm on a roll with those grid thingies now, so I made a tkdb murder case version 🔍! I let a randomizer decide the roles to surprise myself and OMG why is that so accurate with Tohma, Alan and Jin, I'm crying 😭😭
Also Subaru the true murderer, alrighty??? 👀 Always watch out for the polite model students, pookies ...
I won't tag anyone this time since I don't want to spam you, but if you're still up for another version, give this one a try with a picker wheel and let me know your results! 🤭
And of course feel free to tag, share and reblog however you like 🩷
How would the ghouls react to PC wearing their dorm uniform ? I've thought about this too much for my own good. No pressure
Thanks for the prompt! I'm guessing you mean the uniforms they get at the opening ceremony and not just the colored pin/tie (although that gave me an idea, stay tuned). Hope you like this!
Jin -
How to make this man’s heart swell. Jin has a territorial personality. Seeing you in the blue that makes you look like one of his (subjects) people makes him feel secure in his relationship with you. He’d stand a little taller than usual and suddenly gets the need to take a walk with you for “exercise” and totally not to parade you around, flaunting that you’re his.
Tohma -
“You look very nice.” He’d make it sound like a platitude, but he truly means it. He already considers you as one of the people in his circle, especially since the two of you spend hours in the vault taking care of Frostheim’s internal affairs together, but seeing you dress the part would truly seal the deal. He’s not one to help others if there’s nothing in it for him, but he’d feel inclined to take care of you when you’re dressed like that.
Kaito -
“Are you finally joining Frostheim? With me?” Tears stream and snot drips down his face. Even after you tell him it is just for a mission, he’d relish in the fact that you are matching. He’d try to sneak away with you during the mission to go on a “date” in your “couple’s outfit.”
Lucas -
“What is the occasion?” … “It suits you very well, PC. You should wear this more often.” Your fancy Frostheim skirt is more cumbersome than your uniform one, so he watches out for you even more. Think opening doors, getting utensils for you at the cafeteria, and carrying your bags.
Alan -
Would feel uncomfortable. “You don’t belong here. It’s dangerous.” He’d send you home to get changed. As he’s fixing up a car later that day though, he’d let his mind imagine how it’ll be like if he were a normal guy and you can sit together in class, side by side, and walk back to the dorms together.
Leo -
Starts streaming as soon as he catches sight of you. He’d come up to you talking like you did all this just for him. Showers you with sweet compliments for his viewers. When he’s done though, he’d mock you. “Why are you dressed like me? Are you in love with me or something? Ew, please don’t. I don’t want to be involved with an NPC.” As if he didn’t just force you to be involved with him for a 20 minute stream.
Sho -
“Senpai? Is there a mission?”He wouldn’t compliment you outright, but he might compliment the clothes. Might hyper-fixate on one article so he’d have an excuse to keep looking at you. “That jacket looks really aerodynamic.” “It’d probably let Bonnie go even faster. Want to test it out?” If it is for a mission, he’d actually stand up to Leo if the vice-captain opposes him being partnered with you.
Haru -
Might actually cry. He’s probably the one who got you the uniform, and he takes it as a green light to get you to help with some of the tasks around Jabberwock. Of course, he’d customize the uniform so it’ll accentuate your… features. Haru keeps his eyes narrow so you can’t tell which way his pupils are pointing.
Towa -
Very pleased that you match. During the day, he’d drag you everywhere with him because you are twinning, and twins do everything together. He’d even drag you across the mud because Haru cannot complain about him getting your actual uniform dirty now. At night, he tells you how adorable you are. He’d note how the clothes don’t make the person since he’s very strong but you still look so weak in the jumpsuit.
Ren -
Confusion. Why would you voluntarily wear something like that? He makes a disgusted face at you and yeets away as quickly as he can because this probably means you’re meeting up with Haru, and Ren is not about to entertain “that clown.” However, the next time he has to put on his own jumpsuit, he’d feel less bad about it and his own situation. But then he’d stand in front of the mirror in his green get-up and wonder why he doesn’t look nearly as cute as you in it.
Taiga -
Might mistake you for a Sinostra student. He’d have an even harder time trying to remember who you are since he’s not used to you wearing those clothes. When he finally comes around his memories, he’d pull you into his lap to play poker as usual. He doesn’t have much of an eye for fashion anyway, so he wouldn’t act much differently than usual.
Romeo -
“Huh. You finally don’t look like you walked out of the dumpster.” Takes you to his office to take a good look at your outfit. Will give a few critiques (obviously), but also will help you fix up your fit. By the end of the day, you are ready for the Met Gala. He might even pamper you a little bit, doing a face mask with you and dabbing some serum onto your face. You’d feel like a million dollar purse poodle, but you’re his million dollar purse poodle, and he’d personally make sure you look the part.
Ritsu -
Boy’s elated. Takes it as a sign you are committing to Sinostra and bringing them the Laurel Crown as his business partner. The fact that you look stunning in it is but the fine print of this whole thing. However, if you’ve ever met Ritsu, you’d know he pays close attention to fine print.
Subaru -
Tea party! He’d quickly put on his own robes if he isn’t in them already and bring you to Hotarubi’s terrace with some fancy daifuku and tea. “You look very nice, PC.” He finds eye contact a little easier that day. In fact, he keeps his eyes on you the whole time. Despite his social awkwardness, the beauty and grace you extruded while in those robes spoke to his kabuki culture and had him enraptured.
Haku -
He was probably the one who tricked you into putting on the garment with the Fox Robe. “Now we look like a couple,” he’d say with a wink. He’d do this around the time of the spring festival so now you ‘have’ to go visit it together otherwise it’ll be such a waste of a good opportunity. Walks under cherry blossom trees so he can pick petals out of your hair for you. Oh no! There’s too many people here. Better hold hands so you don’t get lost!
Zenji -
“You look like an absolute doll, my dear!” Walks/floats in circles around you like a satellite, taking in your new look from all angles. “You look like the first flower that blooms after a harsh winter! You breathe life and hope into the hopeless!” Non-stop poetic(?) compliments accompanied by a biwa. Expect to have your ears burning by the end of the day.
Ed -
“This reminds me of the gothic era. I must say though, you manage to pull it off better than most of the children I saw back in the days.” There’s a video playing on his tablet, but he’s watching you instead as you go about cleaning his room. Might actually remember to warn you about mysterious liquids in his room so you don’t soil your clothes.
Rui -
You were supposed to look ghoulish and scary in your Obscuary get up, but Rui still finds you super cute. Then again, he finds you cute even when you’re just breathing. Takes a million pictures together. “PC, this just calls for a romantic walk through a graveyard. They say fear makes the heart grow closer!” He’d insist you stay over for the full Obscuary experience. You’d wake up to a full spread of breakfast and another Obscuary outfit hand tailored by yours truly.
Lyca -
“You’re wearing more fur than usual. And more purple. Hey! Are you joining our house?” Lil pup would be so excited but try to hide it beneath his scowl. Since he didn’t get placed into the same house as Subaru, he really wants a friend as a dorm mate. Since you are human, he’d also be happy that Obscuary seems less like a place for creatures.
Yuri -
“Don’t think you can become the assistant of the great Yuri Isami just because you are dressed like that.” Despite what he says, Yuri would take you around Mortkranken, showing you all the specimens and teaching you how to use the machines. “You better come back here tomorrow immediately after class so you can put some of what you learned to good use. You’d better not waste my efforts!” Oh, and you better wear that outfit again too. You’re supposed to wear lab attire in the lab, after all.
Jiro -
“Take it off.” What he meant is for you to put on the patient gown so he can conduct his examination. The patient gown is basically your Mortkranken uniform any other day since that’s all you’re in whenever you go there.
