An Okami-Style Joshua for @ariphyll! I don't know him but apparently he's a jerk which means I'd like him.

Fic idea I probably won’t ever write but plagues my brain

Instead of getting sent to Shinjuku after being shot, Joshua somehow sends Neku back in time, tricking Shibuya’s UG into accepting his soul into the Game again because he technically hasn’t played it yet at that point.

The catch? It’s the game that Joshua first played, as an actual player. If Neku wants to get back to life and back to his time, he needs to ensure Joshua wins the game and becomes Composer, so he can send him back.

This is of course easier said than done, as Neku knows things he shouldn’t, and makes himself look very suspicious to Josh- especially since he sought him out to team up. A fun inversion of their original dynamic, with Josh not fully trusting Neku, and Neku having to hide things from Josh in order to avoid screwing with the timeline.

As they work together and Neku learns more about Josh though, and his reasonings for wanting to become Composer, Neku starts to feel conflicted about whether he should actually help Joshua, or whether he should encourage him to win the game and come back to life. He knows this could potentially ruin the timeline as he knows it, but he can’t help feel like he’s helping Joshua make a huge mistake, and he isn’t sure if he can make himself sit idly by while he does it.

Of course, he knows there would be major consequences to altering the timeline like this. He would never have to experience the Reaper’s Game, but that would mean he’d never meet his friends, might never grow or change as a person. He doesn’t want to give that up, but he isn’t sure what the ‘right’ thing to do is in this situation. And Mr. H isn’t particularly helpful either.

Also if Josh does become Composer and send Neku back you could have the fun implications of a stabilized time loop where Joshua seeks out Neku to be his proxy because of the time they spent together in his own Game.

It’s Joshua knowing that he’s exposing his entire ass by doing this: Mr. H now knows just how important Neku is to him, and now it’s very likely Neku will see sides of him he’s long since buried. He will be vulnerable to Neku and will have no way of shielding himself from it, because he won’t even know that he needs to. Knowing that he’s risking upending their reality by allowing Neku to alter the timeline if he so chooses. And doing it anyway, because he’s willing to risk all that if it means he can save the person who saved him, who trusted him, who Chose him.

It’s Neku knowing that the easiest way out is to just help things play out the way they’re supposed to, that the simplest way to get back is to help Josh become Composer and let him send him home, but struggling to just do that. Because he sees Josh’s isolation and loneliness and determination to put himself in a position where all of that will only be exacerbated, for years, and he sees himself having been capable of making those same choices. And now he is the opportunity to stop Joshua from making a mistake, but is it his place to stop him?

And what will he be losing if he changes the timeline? Is he willing to risk his growth and his relationships to save someone who reminds him so much of himself, to try and save the person who brought him and his friends back when he could have easily chosen not to? And even if he isn’t, can he really just sit idly by and watch someone he still considers a friend throw away their life for something he knows will make them miserable and disillusioned on the long run?

New Shoes With a Fashionable Twist!!

Current fashion says camo shoes are in, but the pattern should be vertical, not horizontal. Father approves since he's done this before when he first started wearing his odd rainbow gloves. But now he shifts the pattern himself... will Haz pick up that too? Hmmm.

Inspiration below.
