[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over
Exhausting yes, but now Iām thinking about Suo actually enjoying his two hour train rides. Because thatās probably the only time heās alone and doesnāt have to worry about looking after other people. He reads a book. He studies his languages. Maybe he actually naps. Feels safe enough to eat a little snack bc heās alone and thereās no one he knows around to see š
Suo losing his peaceful train commute time when he goes back to Bakoku-Gai š
Summary: Three times Suo says āI love youā in a language you donāt understand and the one time you return it in one you both do.
WĒ Ć i nĒ (Mandarin) - The first time he says it, it had been after dinner at Porthos. He walked you home. You looked at him in confusion, before you could question him, he kissed you, leaving you too stunned to remember his words.
ģ¬ėķ“ģ (Korean) - The second time he told you. It was as you were laughing at Sakura's and Sugashita's squabbling. He has said it so quietly, you thought you might have misheard him.
Anh yĆŖu em (Vietnamese) - The third time he used a phrase you didn't understand, you were in the middle of apologizing for dropping a canister of his favorite tea. You were in a rush making dinner for him to take home and you hadn't noticed the canister close by.
You always packed him food home, hoping he would eat it. You didn't know why he didn't eat when he was around others but you hoped that he would on his way home. You even packed enough for several people.
You assumed he would share with his family. He took your hand and kissed your fingers, noticing the burn marks from your hurry. He whispered those words, before you could question him, he helped you cook the remainder of the meal with a smile.
I love you too - You told him right after the fight with Red Chanpuru had concluded. You waited for him back in Makochi. He came back bruised and wounded, and changed. A heavy burden off his shoulders. He tried to speak before you covered his mouth with your hand. You whispered the words to him. His eye widened. You wiped the tear that escaped. The kiss you two shared was one of healing and reunion.
His smile was so soft in the latest chapter I had to use it as a banner š„¹šš
I did some searching online on the different ways to say āI love you,ā in Mandarin, Korean, and Vietnamese but if itās wrong please let me know so I can change it. šš„°š
@hettyoon, I think youāll enjoy this one a lot š„°š„°šš I offer you fluff š¤²š¤²šš
i have an idea for a wbk oc/yumeship (with suo, obviously, i mean heās my baby and i love him)
oc also grew up in bankoku-gai, and her father was in RC.
now, depending on (hopefully) upcoming information on how RC treats its kids will determine a lot of actual backstory stuff for her dad but the rough idea rn is if iām right that the kids there are run into the ground and used to keep the city under control, then her father would be open with her about that and do his absolute best to keep her out of it.
yk what? instead of a dead mom, lets make oc his adoptive daughter. had he not found her, sheād be in RC.
how she met suo will also depend on his (hopefully) upcoming backstory, but if he was also alone at a young age they stuck together until her dad found her and the RC took suo in. they stayed close no matter what, so much so that she followed him to furin (under the promise he made her make that she would also keep her identity under wraps). sheās seen how it runs him into the ground and how it drains him and how much responsibility he holds and it frustrates her, so she writes music about it.
the only solid thing i have right now is 1 their relationship is incredibly close and they unconsciously have relied on each other all these years. 2 she sings!! underground rebellious music against the RC if itās unhealthy/toxic practices and generally societal criticism if the RC isnāt as bad as we think it is. and yes, sheāll sing in multiple languages (though she doesnāt know toooo many) and sheāll use the different linguistic characteristics in each one to her advantage in songwriting w the themes and stuff.
Just realised that maybe Red Chanpuru used to offer money to parents to give away their children to them for training and the reason they're getting less kids but also have less money is because since Suo stepped up as officer he refuses to endorse that practice, having formally been one of those kids.
Suo desperately pushing the class rep role onto Sakura in the early chapters is so much funnier now like when everyone was expecting him to be the obvious choice he took one look at Sakura and said oh thank god. a sacrifice
The affectionate "Sunfei-Nii", the referral as sir as well. Him praising the kids for training hard.
The way they said when they're 15 they'll also get to support Red Chanpuru, Suo's smile looks strained, because of course he's 15 and an officer and likely joined younger and whatever is up with Red Chanpuru it doesn't look like he's too excited for the kids to join
"don't forget to study, too!" How ironic from someone who just had to drop out of highschool.
Oh sweet boy, I know you had to grow up too fast and we're never really allowed to be a child, we're going to bawl during this arc.
I apologize in advance on behalf of all the parentification theorists that saw Suo's distance from proper socializing and his own emotions and went "I know what you are."
We're going through it right now, and will likely continue to be for the foreseeable future.
