tsukishima during school would keep his writing utensils in his pocket. like pant pockets, sometimes jacket and hoodie pockets. they fall out all the time and he still puts them back in there . and the sound of a pencil clattering to the ground is associated with him. what an idiot
kei and i play tetrio. isagi and i play league. rin and i play prince of tennis otome. denki and i play ddr. OH MY GOD L AND INPLAY 4x4x4 TIC TAC TOE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
having a hater boyfriend is everything to me actually. not only do i get motivation to do things but also the more i do so the more i unfotrunately impress and endear myself to his absolute dismay
also the nickname "hiel" comes either as a self appointed nickname or out of spite from his own nickname. he says something about how i do everything BUT "aid" so he took out the "aid" sound from "adriel"
hiel im so sorry but i pattered over immediately could i pretty pretty pls know more abt your cowboy yaoi au with that blonde beanpole? :3
omgomgomg im absolutely in love with. this au. so so so so much. ok
ok so cowboy4cowboy. except technically neither of us are cowboys. follow.
names are still being workshopped. but. colby "kei" houston. and adriel "hiel" walker.
KEI
- from a privileged/relatively wealthier family. ran away from it but more on that later
- anyway he's educated because of it
- so rather than an actual cow wrangler, he's a cowboy secretary of sorts. manages entries, organizes draws, calculates payouts
- he keeps with the getup anyway so people don't bother him. uses the rep to his advantage
- his horse mildly dislikes him
- he ran away from home because his brother left him to travel and to see the sights of young america. he thought kei was smarter and more capable of taking care of the family business, more capable than he ever could be
- kei doesn't know this and heads out, out of hurt, out of betrayal, out of rebellion
- news flash !
- he doesn't know how to handle himself in the real world. sure, he knows how to write letters and such, but he can't start a fire without a match, doesn't know how to cook for a damn, and his income gets spent on food for his horse and himself
- he'd been handling barely alright for a while until .
HIEL
- outlaw
- depending on who you'll ask they'll either say there's a bounty on his head because he's tried and failed to rob a bank, or that he's a terrible, terrible cheat at cards and everyone hates him for it. enough to shoot at him, apparently
- been on the road. jack of all trades, been living on his own all his life, lots of moneymaking skills picked up along the way
- trans !
- immigrant !
- (important to story!)
i try to settle down in a town but eventually there's a. HEY. HEY YOU. and shit. i gotta run again. fucking book it. steal some poor fella's horse getting the fuck out of there. except i feel really. really. really bad about it. so i turn right back around and haul the horse's owner (and when i do, i panic because he's hot) up on the horse behind me before speeding off to god knows where
"we have to go!! quick, they're right on our tail!!"
"WE? I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO THE HELL YOU ARE!"
lkfjdsla and so i basically kidnap this guy on accident. the nickname 'kei' comes from when he was so pissed at me for doing so that all he said to me was. "'kay. mm. 'kay." and it stuck because that's how he talks to all our employers that we do odd jobs for on the road
he's pretty much forced to endure me my entire journey west because by the time we lose whoever's tailing us, his face is already associated with mine, and mine is on wanted posters everywhere. whoops.
lots of travels and stuff that i'm not. ready to delve into. which is all in halo's brain. lots of story and plot and emotional freak nasty that i would not have the brains to think of myself. just know. that. its peak
anyway, eventually we do find a town that doesnt recognize us. some old farmer wants to make his own journey to the coast so he can see the ocean before he dies. so he sells his ranch to me and its all but a few of what i've got scraped up but its mine and im finally not on the run anymore
and kei almost wishes that i still need his horse and need to bring him with me on my travels. but its over now.
i give him a small bag of coins for everything i put him through.
"i'm real sorry, kei. i'd give you more but i blew everything i got on this farm-"
and there he sees his in. his voice gets stiff and he says, "then i'll wait. here. until you've paid me back everything i'm owed."
and it takes like four full bags of straight gold for me to realize that he's here to stay LMAOAOOOAOAOOA. and his horse fucking LOVES me btw
she lets me on with such ease. kei always says, "oh, she doesn't like going over-" and then stunned silence when she lets me maneuver us through whatever needed LMAOAOOAO. his picky, snobby, bitey horse (like father like daughter) is snuggling at me. and kei is so pissed !!
"just needs a little sugar, loosen right up."
".."
"catch more flies with honey, y'know?"
"what about the flies you catch with glue. i'm held hostage."
"ah. well."
