"See? It looks great on you!" Her laugh was a messy giggle, the cocktail already working it's magic, making Renas cheeks flush as she closed the cap on her red lipstick. That gave Hayato an idea.
"Okay, new game. If I win, I'll kiss you all over and you're not allowed to wipe it off until tomorrow." His voice was half a whisper, a faint note of rum in his breath. He really didn't care much for the red lipstick she put on him. He was a man of his words and he had lost their last little competition. This was her prize. Him in her red lipstick.
Her cheeks flushed more and she seemed to deliberate before she nodded.
"Deal." She said confidentally and he was unable to hold back a grin. Oh he got her now.
"You're on!"

Soooo I got great news! I got a sort of job offer from the theater I work at to take over a new childrens group, which I will be paid for. It's not much, but this is the first time I will be able to make money on my own without my mothers financial influence. So I decided to celebrate by treating myself to some art!
I traced a picture from a Manga I am currently infatuated with (My Love Story with Yama-kun at Lvl 999) and while drawing it made me think of this scenario. Drunk, engaged Hayarena, spending a night in with drinks and little games. And yes I know I just talked about Rena cutting her hair, but the decision to add the rings was last minute and by then she already had long hair. In any case, Hayatos rings after his vongola gear upgrade are a bit hard to discern but I tried my best to come up with something. And yes, Rena is wearing the Igorevich ring as a memento of her family and past.
I never posted it on time but it's pride month meaning it's indulge myself month, so here have some Hayarena Reborn! Now! AU
After not being able to give Hayato her chocolate on Valentines day (as far as she knows) she still hopes that on White day she might receive something. So she does her best to make herself look especially dashing.
Making sure her girls are especially defined, putting on make up, some jewelery, prettying up her uniform- It was supposed to be the day she wows him. But of course things do not go her way. As soon as she gets to school she is halted by Kusakabe for violating SEVERAL dresscode rules and is being taken aside to fix herself. By then she is already late to greet Gokudera. She had to severely "downgrade" by taking most of her jewelery off and making her school uniform look more standart. So she hopes for a chance during lunch time.
She prepared a a nice lunch for hayato, all she has to do is meet up with Gokudera and give it to him. She still looks good, she still got this. But of course, she doesn't account for Masha, who sees her chance to expertly and sneakily cause havoc. As a girl is about to empty a bucket out a the window, she is reprimanded toi properly empty it in the washroom. But Masha manages to throw a baseball towards the girls hand so she loses hold of it and the bucket empties out on the students beneath the window. Rena isn't the only one hit but she def gets quite dowsed in dirty water. Before Tsuna andd co can turn their heads Masha quickly clings to Gokudera and turns him away, making sure that in her time of need Rena is still alone.
Aaaah, I've already had enough of today...
"Dima." Immideatly on call, he appears and puts a coat around her before he picks her up and disappears, bringing her back home to their apartment. She showers, puts on her most comfy clothes and just falls onto bed. Dima is on full alert and while Rena rests he catches Sasha before the guy can bother Rena. When he sees Gokudera approach he at first also thinks of stopping him but then doesn't. Gokudera rings the bell and Rena, curious how someone could even do that with Dima on lookout, gets up to open, only to immideatly feel emberassed, since she looks so... plain. Still, Gokudera gives her a piece of candy, saying that his sister wouldn't leave him alone until he gave her something. It's just a curtesy, nothing more. Still. it means the world to Rena.
Send me a character and a number to see how they accesoirize
This was sooo fun to do and also agravating due to a certain someone COUGH Hayato COUGH anyway! I hope you enjoy the answers! and again thank you thank you thank you for sending something in!
TW: OC x CANON (aka HayaRena)
2- Renas phone with screensaver and background
Rena always has notifications for her theater groupchat and an app that alerts her of planetary alignments. Girl is someone who always has 19 notifications and popups but rarely deals with all of them because she keeps them up as a reminder. I didn't wanna draw it but she also has her homescreen set to a big calender where she keeps track of rehersals and performances.
8- Renas favourite item
A musicbox her grandmother gifted her before she passed. It plays two tunes. Tschaikovskies Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies and Tschaikovskies Swan Lake theme that can be switched between by pushing one of two buttons. She keeps it hidden in a box, but sometimes when she is alone takes it out. Dimitri used to sometimes wind up the musicbox when he noticed she couldn't sleep and it always helped her calm down.
9- One of Renas jewelery
A small pendant Hayato bought for her at the culture festival when she noticed she was too short on cash. Since it was also the night they had their first kiss and began dating she holds it very dear, even if technically she gave him the money back. The thought counts.
Hi Lou!! Tbh, I'd love to ask you...all of the selfship questions, but I'll be nice and say 1-4 uwu for Gokudera! [Unless you're cool with answering them all 👀✨️]
Just for fun selfship ask meme
Thank you so so much for sending this in! ... 3... months ago orz I am so so sorry for answering so late, I hope waiting for my answer was worth it QwQ
1. does your f/o have any special nicknames for you? what are they? do you have a favorite?
Gokudera isn't exactly super openly affectionate or romantic. He is pragmatic and when he is romantic it is a rare, but genuine moment just between them. While he doesn't have a special nickname, he does sometimes call Rena "tesoro" (itl. treasure) and has refered to her as a sun or glowing star, though never to her face.
2. do you and your f/o share any hobbies? what are they? do you see one another as rivals, collaborators, something else?
Rena and Hayato are competitive spirits and often get into little competitions with each other that usually hold either no stakes but their pride, or chores and small gifts. It's never harsh enough that Dera becomes seriously upset over a loss (he actually really appreciates that she can give him a run for his money), but it's also never completely trivial. These competitions can range from who gets to a place first, to directly facing off in a video or card game (especially with poker and other games where you have to keep your reactions in check Rena usually has the upper hand due to her knowledge in acting and directing, being able to pick up on the subtlest of changes in Gokuderas demeanor, who still has a hard time keeping his emotions in check).
Interestingly enough when it comes to hobbies they diverge a bit. Rena loves to be creative, her work at the theater is incredibly fullfilling to her, so she spends a lot of time going to see different plays and reads new pieces. Hayato is also very creative, but his creativity leans more towards the engineering and constructing. In that they are supportive with and towards each other, but don't necesarily always partake in the others interest. However they both are interested in the supernatural, with Rena being a scaredy cat that is mostly into mythology and the occult while Hayato is more interested in cryptids and extraterestrials. Hayato likes going ghost hunting or cryptid hunting and once in a while he can persuade Rena to tag along though not without promising up and down that he won't scare her on purpose and that he'll protect her if anything does happen.
One hobby they do participate in together is movie nights. They switch up who picks the movie and each one of them has a chance to veto a pick. They both enjoy watching all kinds of movies and talk about them, dissecting story, special and practical effects, character writing and acting, directing- they can both contribute their own knowledge to these talks which are even more enjoyable to them than the movies themselves.
Small picrew I edited depicting them watching a scary movie.

3. do you have any songs that remind you of your f/o? a playlist? what do they think of it, if you’ve shared it with them?
Okay so I USED to have a playlist but I deleted it orz, tho there are two songs I def remember associating with this ship which is
Cinderblock Garden by All Time Low and Perfect by Topic and Ally Brooke
4. where are your favorite places to go with your f/o? what’s your favorite part of that place, or the time you spend together there?
When it comes to favourite places to be at then there come only 3 to mind. First is Renas apartment. It's a small 2 room flat with an open kitchen, a big livingroom with a narrow balcony and a small bedroom. It's cozy but not claustrophobic and Hayato stays over a few times. After a very eventful day it's nice to flop onto the sofa and watch a movie together.
Then there is one of Renas favourite cafes. It's in a sidestreet of the city, rather small and has a bit of a maritime country-chic flair with exceptionally good coffee and cake. They don't usually house big groups or many people so it never feels cramped and or overwhealming when it comes to the surounding noise.
Last but definitely not least is the westpark. It's close to the Residence where the Neo Vongola stay in italy and is often place of performances by Renas theater group Mosaico. It's a nice small park with one half of the park being mostly greenspace for people to chill on and the other being a bit more groomed, layed out and romantic with benches and grenery tunnels.
(Thinking specifically about the passages I personally know, here, here, and here, plus a well kept flower garden park as depicted here)
In general: anywhere where it's not too full and too loud is a nice place for them to hang out.
