yuzuki hayato with a boyfriend
been obsessed w this anime lately, it's the most wholesome thing ever hdgdhdhddh figured i'd show some love to hayato, he's been on my mind since i started watching <3
remember during the fireworks mikoto asked hayato what would happen when he got a girlfriend?
little did he know his older brother sort of had one already - well, a boyfriend, that is.
the both of you had met in high school, being in the same class
slowly, you had gotten to know each other, passing notes during classes and sneaking glances when no one was looking
soon enough, you asked him out and he accepted!!! much to your surprise
but rest assured, he likes you very much
it's his first relationship, so please be gentle with him
he's very hardworking, and selfless as seen from his years of dealing with his brothers
it's reflected in the way he always asks you were you want to go first during dates after school, or how he offers to tutor you in the subjects you're weak in, despite his own heavy workload
you guys barely get anything done during these tutoring sessions anyway smh
he's too distracting so you just end up staring at him the whole time
you weren't too sure what his parents thought about two guys dating, so you both decided it was best to keep it a secret
but as with every secret gay relationship, it never ends like the movies and you both agreed to end it on amicable terms
it was sad, sure, but...that's life, isn't it?
as you both went into college, you kinda just. stopped contacting each other. and it was fine. you were okay to leave your relationship as nothing but high school sweethearts.
so imagine your surprise when years later, you walk into the staff room of the high school you've been posted to on your first day as a teacher, and see your ex-boyfriend.
"oh. my. god. HAYATO????"
as it turns out, he had been at that high school for a while now, but it was his first time taking a class
the first thing you noticed was that he was a very, very tired man.
when you got closer to him, it was only then did you learn of his current family situation
it just increases your admiration for him
how does he manage to juggle handling a new class, and taking care of 3 brothers all by himself? no one knows
so you made it your goal in your new job to help hayato out as much as possible, to lessen his burden
you can't help it, you've never really gotten completely over him so this was the perfect chance to show him how much you care
you need to force him to take constant breaks, otherwise he'd probably pass out from exhaustion one of these days
technically he already has cough gaku in ep 3 cough
but it's no secret that he's not good with relying on others
it's impossible to ask him how you can help directly, instead you try to discreetly do some of his work for him, like preparing the exam sheets
this doesn't escape hayato's watchful eyes, he immediately notices
"[name], did you do this for me? thank you, but i can handle it myself. you already have so much work to do..."
"hayato, i want to help! just let me. please."
"shhh. just let me take care of it."
he gets butterflies whenever he's around you, and he doesn't know why.....surely he's more mature than this, getting flustered over some guy he dated in high school.
it seems like you weren't the only one with lingering feelings
eventually it gets to the point where it's hard for the two of you to focus on your teaching jobs properly when it's clear as day to all of your colleagues that there was a lot of mutual pining going on
like...the tension in the staff room is so thick it's suffocating
you were the first one to confess (again)
with hayato being so busy, he can barely find time to even consider romance, so he just pushed those feelings aside and buried himself in his responsibilities, hoping his feelings for you would just subside
the fact that you were able to make a little place in his heart and stay there is so, so special
so he accepted, of course. thank god. it would have a taken a long, long time for him to make the first move.
boyfriends! for the second time. <3
WHEW that backstory took longer than i thought....onto your actual relationship
i can definitely see him being the sappy type, he just doesn't show it outright.
since the both of you are busy the whole school day teaching, the only time you really get to spend together is during lunch breaks
he tries to show his love subtly, like waking up early so he can pack a homemade lunch for the both of you to share
it's times like these you feel truly blessed to be dating him, we all know he's an amazing cook since he had to learn so many recipes to feed his brothers
he's definitely very easily flustered
so pda in the staff room would have to be limited to a quick hug or kiss between periods, otherwise he can't focus on teaching
you guys go home together after finishing the work day at school, sometimes you would go to his place
and trust, the first time you did, hayato spent the whole previous day worrying about it and briefing his brothers that someone would be coming over. he runs that family like the navy
"tomorrow...someone will be coming over when i come back from work. please behave..."
immediately, they all catch on. hayato hasn't had someone come over since before their parents passed, so this must be someone special
minato: "who?? your girlfriend??
immediately, they all make that ooooOOOHHHH sound that siblings tend to make, much to hayato's embarassment.
"shut up....." he mutters, head in his hands. he desperately hoped they wouldn't say anything too weird when you were over.
you were already kinda familiar with his brothers from when you went to his house a few times during high school, but it was strange seeing them all grown up
unexpectedly, they did remember you.
minato: "hey, isn't this your friend from high school? you mean you guys are dating now??" he bounces up and down excitedly.
"the truth is...we were dating back then. we reunited since we both teach in the same school. it's complicated."
mikoto had an uncharacteristic smirk on his usually stoic face. "i knew it all along. you guys were too close to be friends..."
"you're kidding me." hayato groaned.
getting along with them is a must, hayato can't bear the thought of his favourite people disliking each other
thankfully, they all warm up to you very quickly. it's heartwarming to them that their brother found someone who makes him genuinely happy
he's basically dedicated his whole life to taking care of them, its what he deserves
one time on the weekend, gaku caught you lurking outside the house looking for a way in
"oh! gaku! don't worry, i'm just...helping your brother with....work...stuff."
but really, it was just an excuse to come surprise hayato
it doesn't really take long for gaku to catch on though, i mean, he's literally 6 years old and lowkey a child prodigy so like
overtime, they started to see you as an older brother figure as well
the first time hayato mentioned this to you, you wanted to cry. it means so much to have his family's acceptance
the first time you offered to help him out with family matters, he looked at you like you were crazy.
"absolutely NOT. you're not even part of the family, how could i burden you with my own troubles?"
"i'm not part of the family...? :<"
"you know i didn't mean it like that....i mean-"
"don't worry, i'll be part of the family legally soon..."
unfortunately for hayato, minato had overheard this conversation and gleefully proclaimed to his brothers that hayato was getting married soon
they hope it really happens, though. ♡
