Batarou Week: Day 2 - Awkward

Badd never wore hats. Ever.

So when he came home with a baseball cap tightly over his ears, Garou immediately knew something was up.

“What’s with the hat, Bat?” he asked, standing in front of him to block his hasty walk down the hallway.

“Nothin.’ Just tryin’ something different. Scoot.” He took a step to the left, but Garou mirrored him.

“Is the ‘something different’ acting weird and suspicious? Because if so, I want to commend you on a job well done.” Grinning, he reached out with a quick hand to try and snatch the cap, but Badd bent backwards before elbowing him into the wall and taking two quick steps past.

“I’m serious,” he snapped. “I ain’t in the mood.”

That just made Garou’s smile widen. He may as well have said, ‘Come at me.’

Before Badd could close the door to the bedroom, Garou slipped inside in pursuit, and Badd picked up his bat, brandishing it. Oh. He was serious. Perfect. They hadn’t sparred in weeks, and Garou’s muscles were itching for it.

“I am not fuckin’ around with you, Stretch,” Badd warned, lightly knocking his hand back as he shot in again, sending a singing twang through his knuckles.

Garou licked his bottom lip. “Keep it up, and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing.”

He zipped in once more, driving Badd back, and a few more feints had Badd’s knees hitting the edge of the bed, sending him falling back onto it. He wasn’t done, though, because when Garou pounced on him, he rolled, dropping the bat and grabbing Garou’s wrists to pin him.

“A’right,” Badd growled, dark eyes glaring from under the lip of the hat. “Ya had yer fun. We’re done, hear me?”

“Had? On the contrary. I’m still having fun.” Quickly, he pulled his hands over his head, bringing Badd with him to drop him down just low enough that he could lean up, catching the brim of the hat with his sharp teeth before tossing his neck back, taking it off and getting a first look at what was underneath.

Badd’s hair was...different. The sides had been shaved extremely short into a high undercut, and the top was messy, nowhere near long enough for a pomp. The strands of it flew up in all kinds of directions, like a small, angry, dark fire.

“Oh,” he finally remarked, dumbly. 

“Go on, fucker,” Badd snapped back, letting him go and rising, crossing his arms over his chest. “Get your laughs in. Not like I give a shit.”

Garou got up off the bed, silently, walking slowly around him. The longest part at the top trailed down the back of his skull, something like a short mohawk.

“Tony was sick, so there was this new guy, and I was so damn tired from that monster last night, I just...I nodded off.” Gods, Badd was actually pouting. It would have normally been enough to send Garou into hysterics. “So, c’mon. Let’s hear it, yeah?”

But Garou didn’t feel like talking anymore. Instead, he pressed himself to Badd’s back and gave the side of his head a long, slow stroke with his cheek, closing his eyes as the tiny hairs softly brushed his pale skin. It felt amazing, and he did it again, carding his nails through the longer strands on top. Yup, just enough to grab, which he did, making Badd shudder, the tips of his ears turning a deep red.

“Well. You were right. I am surprised.” He said it with a deep rumble in his chest, dragging his teeth across the back of his neck. “Can’t believe you tried to hide this from me.”

“To be fair,” Badd breathed softly, voice dropping, “this wasn’t ‘xactly the reaction I was anticipatin.’ And it’s gonna grow back out so...don’t get attached.”

Garou pushed him forward back onto the bed, and this time Badd welcomed his immediate attention rather than dodging it. “Don’t ruin the moment, ass.”

Batarou Week Day 4: Role Reversal

Okay, so, first time ever writing OPM fanfiction, let alone batarou fanfiction. I originally wanted to draw this, and I still might, but I wanted to at least submit another day on time, so here we are. I’m...not sure how happy I am with this, as it started out strong, but then I kind of went downhill imo. BUT I FIGURED I’D SHARE IT ANYWAY BECAUSE I WANT TO GET BETTER DANGIT. I tried to incorporate Day 1 in here as well, so I hope this counts? Regardless HERE WE GO!

“Oi, Badd! I’m back!” Garou called, slamming the door shut behind him. The ex-hero hunter was greeted with silence in return, causing him to pause. He walked into the kitchen and set the grocery bags down on the counter, before wandering into the living room. The room was empty, save for Tama who was sleeping on the couch. Garou narrowed his eyes, wondering where the hero could have gone.

Garou had been living with Badd and Zenko a little while after his defeat by the “Caped Baldy”. At first, he had just been joining the siblings for meals, and eventually Zenko had asked why he wasn’t just living with them since he was always at the house anyway (Of course, she didn’t know that he technically had been sleeping over in Badd’s room) but he had officially moved after that. That’s when things started to get easier. He had a roof over his head, food in his stomach, and a boyfriend that he actually really cared for with a little sister who was a force to be reckoned with. To put it simply, Garou was content. The only issue he had was that whenever he went out, Badd had insisted he wear one of his old jackets and a beanie so he wouldn’t be recognized. It just made him feel ridiculous, but he put up with it (mostly because of the look Badd would give him when he wore the leather jacket).

Garou snapped out of his reverie when he heard a thunk from Badd’s room. He walked down the hall, and heard another thunk along with a girly, demanding voice that he recognized as Zenkos.

“Zenko? What are you doing…” Garou opened the door to the room he and Badd shared, and froze at the sight before him. Zenko looked over at him, her hair was brushed back, and she was wearing a red shirt and black skirt. She held a baseball bat over her head, ready to strike down the ‘monster’ in front of her, who was wearing Garou’s outfit, along with a pair of white cat ears on his head and a claw on one hand from last years Halloween costume.

“Garou! When the hell...heck did ya get home?” Came the flustered question from Badd, whose face was slowly darkening the longer Garou stared at them.

“I’m practicing how to defend myself!” Zenko answered Garou’s original question. “Haiji was saying that girls couldn’t fight monsters because we’re too scared, and I wanted to prove I could tomorrow. I was going to ask you to help me, but Big Brother said you went to buy groceries, so I did the next best thing!” The little girl planted the bat down in front of her. “Now that you’re back, can you help me? I thought if I dressed Big Brother up like you it’d help him feel more like a fighter, but it’s not working.” Zenko gives Badd a sideways glare, and the hero rubs the back of his neck, avoiding all eye contact from both his sister and now humoured boyfriend. Garou lets out a chuckle.

“Sure, but how about we put the groceries away first?” Garou says, and Zenko jumps up to help, skipping down the hallway. Garou turns back to Badd, who’s taking off the glove and ears.

“And what do you think you’re doing?” Garou asks, and Badd gives him a look.

“What do ya mean? Yer gonna help Zenko out, so I don’t need ta wear this,” a gesture at the claw his (badass) attire “anymore, so I’m takin’ it off.”

“Oh no you don’t. Zenko wants to practice against fighting monsters, and I’m going to be training her.” Garou says, and Badd raises an eyebrow, clearly not following. Garou smirks deviously, walking over and squatting in front of Badd. He places his finger under Badd’s chin and tilts it upward. “If I’m training her, then we’ll need a monster to fight.” Badd glares at him, and Garou give him a biting peck on his lips before he stands up right to go help Zenko with the groceries.

“Yer a dick, ya know that?” Badd gripes, standing to follow his sister. Garou just grins in response. “Don’t get your hopes up stretch, this ain’t ever happening again.”

“I don’t think so, those ears look flattering on you.” Garou laughs as Badd huffs and storms down the hallway in embarrassment.
