*comes back from the dead*
That's so sweet of you, tbh.
ANYWAYS- SO, ALLOW ME TO RANT! It's not completely thought through, just a draft for now.
Aiko is my oc. She has a lot of faces, really. And it depends which version I am using, but if I use the normal original version, then:
She's a parent to an adopted kid. Personally, she's 32. The adopted kid is sixteen. She's had her for six years already and is trying her best to support her. As Aiko is a character in the One Piece universe, they naturally have devil fruits. She's had an unfortunate time and ate one. Long story short, she became nocturnal.
And in the high school au, she's nocturnal too and has problems with nutrition deficiency. Like, she has to eat a LOT, in order to process enough nutrients, in order to not develop any illnesses. She doesn't take a lot of pills, due to not wanting to make her liver work over time to break them down. Why is she nocturnal tho? Well, sun allergy. And reaply, just genetics.
Anyways, the girl is kind of supposed to represent me, ehe and she is a little troublemaker, but not enough to land in the boarding school called...Impel Down. (Yeah, high school Au of One Piece)
Aiko herself, works at night or late noon. Goes to the gym very early, before falling asleep for the day. And usually, when she's there, there's also this other guy, Shiryu, and they sometimes greet each other.
Shiryu, however, looses his job (just like in canon) because he regularly bullied the teens (in canon he killed the prisoners for funsies). But unlike in canon, he doesn't go on dwath row, he just becomes a jobless loser.
That way, he has to stop going to the gym, cause obviously...he can't afford it.
Aiko eventually notices his absence. Doesn't do a lot, nothing actually.
The one who notices that he lost his job, is the girl. She's friends with a few of the real troublemakers in the boarding school. She herself doesn't go to the boarding school, she got to know them through the internet.
How he and Aiko meet, idk yet, but she eventually gets him a job as security somewhere (saying that his..uh...physical aggression...can be of advantage, so long as he is not put on a team). Which is how he became one of the securities in a very shady business. But hey, job is job. I think I'm gonna make the very shady business a company and the company will belong to Blackbeard. She does not give him any more than that, not a sleeping place either, wtf? She and her kid are both female and also, he's a TANK and his grin is kinda dirty ngl...
EITHER WAY-
that doesn't end there, as Aiko gets somewhat entangled in their business. She and Shiryu meet again. Somehow forced to interact.
More interaction is forced.
They both learn to trust each other through the course of three seasons. The kid documents and comments on everything.
It does not end with marriage. They're not married. Worse.
They will have a relationship so emotionally intimate and physically casual intimate that it is difficult to pin down if they're both 'just' on the same wave length or something romantic is going on between them. (I love it when romance only comes after getting to know each other. Like, first emotional and physical intimacy without sexual intent. That's the closest form of your souls intertwining, imo. THEN, romance. I love it weird. Like, both staring at each other with an unamused face, people around them thinking they're short from a disagreement, and it's actually just them being so lost in each other's eyes that they forgot to turn off their resting bitch faces.)
(PHM was kind of an inspiration for that. The relationship between Grace and Stratt. Admittedly, I never watched or read it, but my entire feed is full of it, and I really really love their dynamic. And the asexual representation of him. I think it really fits him.)
And the girl will not be sure if she's gonna get a dad, too (catch them all~) or if they'll fuse some day. She annoys him to a great degree, but much to everyone in his vicinity's surprise, he's patient with her. Perhaps because she isn't bratty about it. Or because Aiko would slime him out. It is....an open theory.
Thx for reading! I LOVE ranting about my ocs!
