Idk how many people here know Hypnosis Mic but I’ve been obsessed with this series for over a year, and the movie’s coming to North American theaters!!! I bought tickets the second they went live😅 so to celebrate I’d like to share my Jiroshi fic I wrote a while back!
“AIMONO! Aimono, where are you?! Can you come back?! I just wanted to talk to you! Why’d ya run away?!”
“J-Jiro-kun! Please, go away; don’t look at me!!”
Jiro turned the corner of the street and looked around, sweat dripping off his forehead. What did he say to offend Jyushi? Did he hurt him somehow? He adjusted his cap and squinted his eyes, trying to narrow down where Jyushi could be.
“Aimono, if you’re upset, can ya tell me instead of running off like a- WHAT THE FUCK?!”
Jyushi’s voice yelped for a split second as Jiro’s vision begin to clear. Under the moonlight, he could make out a massive figure cowering behind one of the tallest buildings in Ikebukuro. Shining blue eyes filled with tears nervously stared down at Jiro, who looked up completely dumbfounded. Jyushi, who has only stood at 6’1 just a moment ago, had now grown to gigantic size. Jiro couldn’t even begin to estimate how big he was, but he wanted to guess around 50ft.
“J-Jiro-kun, I’m sorry, I-“
“Jyushi, how the FUCK did you get so… gigantic?!” Jiro shouted. He took several steps away from his now giant friend. Jyushi seemed absolutely mortified as he clutched his stuffed pig in his arms. Tears threatened to spill from his eyes as he inched back, trembling.
“I didn’t want you to see this… I t-told you I had to go…!”
Jiro jumped back as a giant tear fell to the ground, splashing him. He quickly panicked and grabbed his jacket from around his waist, holding it out. “Stop crying, man! Here, j-just use my jacket! Can you tell me what the hell’s happening?!”
Jyushi reached down, taking Jiro’s jacket and wiping his tears. Jiro flinched instinctively as massive digits lowered close to his body. Jyushi noticed this and pulled back, softly dropping the jacket on the road. Realizing how his behavior was making him jumpy, Jiro paused, took a deep breath, and rubbed the back of his neck.
“Look, man… I don’t get what’s goin’ on, but I’m assuming this is why you sometimes take off without warning, right? If you don’t wanna tell me what’s up, I get that too. Do… you need me to go away?” Jiro asks, confusion prominent in his words.
Jyushi stopped crying and quickly rubbed his eyes, mascara staining his cheeks. “Please don’t go away, Jiro-kun! I’m sorry, I should’ve told you before… please don’t leave me alone.”
“I won’t,” Jiro softens, his tone still a little shaky. “Aimono, can you tell me what happened to ya?”
Jyushi nods. “I’m a size shifter… so I can get really big or become human size. When I feel strong emotions, I automatically grow bigger. I’m so sorry, I wanted to tell you for the longest time, but I didn’t want you to freak out… or call me a monster.”
Jiro shifts awkwardly, not knowing what to say. On the one hand, he was scared out of his mind. His friend could become a giant at will, which was terrifying. On the other hand…
“You kidding, dude? I think that’s totally badass,” Jiro responds, playing off his fear as awe. Jyushi’s eyes widened as he glanced down.
“Yea, dude! How many people do ya know who can change their size at will? You’re freaking huge, but that’s crazy cool. I wish I could do that; that way you’d have a buddy to hang with. We could go sit on top of the temple in Nagoya, or we could go hang out by the lake like it’s a pool.”
Jyushi’s frown slowly went away as he stopped clutching Amanda so hard. He gently leaned down to Jiro’s level, his hand bigger than a car. Jiro hesitantly approached, looking Jyushi in the eyes. He wasn’t particularly good with tender moments, but he knew Jyushi needed someone to simply be there for him right now. Jiro places a hand on Jyushi’s finger and gives him an awkward smile.
“Jiro-kun… you’re very kind,” Jyushi whispers. Jiro chuckles, feeling small in Jyushi’s presence. He grabs Jyushi’s finger and pats it. Jyushi gently curls his digits around Jiro and lifts him up, sitting with his knees drawn to his chest. Jiro can feel his heart race as Jyushi gently gazes into his eyes. A soft blush forms on Jiro’s face.
“Y-yo, dude… personal space.”
Jyushi pauses, then quickly realizes what he’s done. He sets Jiro down on his knee and blushes. “S-sorry! I didn’t mean to-“
“I’m not… sayin’ ya did anything wrong,” Jiro responds. “It was actually kinda nice.”
Jyushi leans his face down to make eye contact with Jiro. Jiro rubs his neck and turns to Jyushi. With a quick grunt, Jiro swiftly kisses Jyushi’s cheek and turns away. Jyushi’s face goes brilliant red as he begins to fumble with his words.
Jiro smiles as Jyushi turns to bashfully avert his gaze. He softens, and brings his voice to a whisper. “Just promise me… will you keep this a secret?” Jyushi asks.
