sakuya sakuma
3/10
precious baby sweetie pie boy honey bun sugar plum-
he would suck at doing my hair im sorry-
like he would try his best
does his research and everything
but he just sucks at it.
but he's so passionate about doing it right
so ill keep letting him do it because i don't wanna see my son sad 😥.
masumi usui
7/10
surprisingly ( not that surprisingly ) good at.
but he's only good if izumi asked him to do it.
he wouldn't even look at my hair otherwise.
but in the case of izumi asking him to do it, he does a pretty good job.
he does all his research and everything.
i think he’d be perfect at some knotless braids.
i also think masumi is a bit of a perfectionist ( even more so when izumi asks him to do something ) so it’s gonna take FOREVER to get done.
he’s the type to restart the entire braid if it looks even slightly crooked.
not only that i feel like he would pop me with a comb if i move too much.
tsuzuru minagi
5/10
he’d definitely be better at simpler styles ( like a twist out or something similar ).
can not figure out cornrows or any sort of braiding to the scalp for the life of him.
( he like me fr. )
he's actually really gentle with my hair and tries not to pull too much lest he damage my hair.
he's also my go-to choice for help on wash day.
tsuzuru is so gentle and thorough with it that you woulda thought i got a new scalp by the time he's finished.
itaru chigasaki
4/10
i would only go to him if i was desperate pt 1.
that man is not touching my hair at all.
itaru's problem is that he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
it doesn't matter how many times you tell him how to do it or how many times he looks it up, he just doesn't get it.
which is fine by him, he hates doing my hair.
if he can't get it done in under five minutes, he ain't doing it.
citron
6/10
surprisingly ( actually surprisingly ) good at it.
you wouldn't think so, but he's a great option when it comes to doing my hair and my main hairdressers are not available.
he would be good at the slightly more complicated styles, but nothing too intricate or he will struggle.
citron's also really good at being gentle with my hair and not pulling too hard on it.
problem is he's very antsy and can't stay put for very long so it would take like a week to get some box braids done.
chikage utsuki
no/10
no.
no no no no no.
absolutely not.
the idea of chikage being in the same vicinity as my hair is enough to want to shave everything off.
*PS this may be a little bit OOC, my first time writing anyone in spring troupe
Sakuya
Sakuya’s embraces are always so warm and full of love, his eyes sparkle when you let him know that you just want to even be close to him.
If you’re feeling sleepy, he’ll start reading over his lines for an upcoming play softly while you lazily play with his hair.
He does tend to ask questions while you guys are keeping each other company. Asking if he’s hugging you too tight, if where his hands are currently are okay, if you’re too warm, too cold, etc etc..
It’s the sweetest sentiment but to calm his nerves planting a kiss on his cheek will immediately stop him in his nervous tracks, burying his face in the back of your shirt in embarrassment.
Sakuya for the most part likes to be the big spoon, hands interlaced with yours while you face away or towards him.
Sakuya’s pretty shy about being the little spoon, as he gets flustered but feels immensely loved and cared for if he is.
Masumi
Masumi is very protective of you while the two of your are in each other’s presence, it only accelerates if you two were to be in each others arms.
He always makes sure your close to him, that you fall asleep first so he can admire you in a constant light.
Constantly twirling his fingers softly through your hair, gently pushing stray strands behind your ear to get a better look at the face he loves so much.
Masumi loves showering you in compliments when you two are this close, whispering to you how much he appreciates you and loves you, his words making you flush in embarrassment.
Besides that, he’s not much of a talker while cuddling, instead it’s comfortably peaceful and quiet with him. The small actions that Masumi does, like pulling you in closer or pressing tiny gentle kisses across your face is how Masumi enjoys this tranquil moment with you.
He shoots death glares at anyone making a noise near you incase you wake up from it. Keeping your peace is his #1 priority.
If you wake up before him he most likely has a tight but comfy grip on you even in his sleep. His arms snug at your waist and face buried in your shirt.
Mumbles “five more minutes” half awake and hugs you tighter. If you had somewhere to be, you definitely don’t now.
Tsuzuru
Tsuzuru, although deathly tired, will always somehow be awake much later than you could no matter how messed up your sleep schedule is.
He’d apologize for not being able to spend enough time with you being swamped in work by making you a cup of coffee or tea when you wake up. He’d know how much a warm cup of caffeine would be godsend to him.
If you show up to his room at 2 AM he’ll beg you to go to sleep, being the biggest hypocrite in the world in that moment.
He promised that he’d stay with you for the time being and then get back to work, but exhaustion would get the best of him as he falls asleep against you.
Before then, he’d fight it through small talk, but once he starts descending into cutesy compliments and pet names he’d never say wide awake to you, he’s out mere seconds later.
But during the day, the poor sleep deprived boy will not hesitate to take a cat nap while curling up next to you.
Wordlessly he keeps you in his arms and rests his head at the crook of your neck. So close his breath tickles your skin.
He doesn’t mind. Relaxation is easy for him when it comes to you.
He’s almost immovable when he’s unconscious and your arms will probably go numb cuddling with him during the day. It would take a literal bulldozer to pry him off of you.
Citron
Citron physically dives into your arms, giving you a deathly tight squeeze, excited to be in the same space as you.
Citron enjoys holding you on the couch while you lay on top of him, his hand on the small of your back and letting your rest on his chest.
He hums constantly in excitement of the time he’s spending with you.
But please don’t let him fall asleep. He is an absolute menace and will sprawl over you, taking up all of the space while snoring loudly.
Citron loves talking to you while you two are this close. Often giving you a small massage while asking you how your day’s going excitingly, wondering if you had done anything new to your hair or a new skincare regimen, his hands trailing around your head and face while asking.
Most importantly, he’s an amazing listener!
He loves this especially when you two haven’t seen each other for so long, these moments he will find difficult to have to part again when needed. Even if it’s to go to the kitchen and find a snack or drink, his touch will tend to linger.
Itaru
“Itaru can you please come to bed with me” “Not now Y/N the boys online need me” “ITARU-”
Although this man is genuinely never near a bed, he still makes room for you to snuggle up against him while he’s playing any sort of video game.
It gives him control to not completely rage while you cuddle up next to him, asleep or not, he has a bit of restraint around you when you look so peaceful.
Loves to cuddle up next to you while watching a movie, with tons of food and drink on the table in front of you both.
His arm around your shoulders as you lean your head against him.
Itaru definitely spoils you a little when it comes to these intimate moments. Swallowed under blankets and pillows and snacking on your favorite foods with a movie you both enjoy.
It’s impossible to not fall asleep within the first couple of minutes. Itaru loses all focus when he sees you sound asleep, completely forgetting about the movie, the food getting cold and the drinks warm. At this moment you’re the only thing that matters to him.
Chikage
He would definitely tease you at first of the idea of wanting to cuddle, but give into any sort of request you had in mind regardless.
“Well, whatever helps you sleep at night” “Really? That’s what you need? Alright then, come here”
Such a filthy liar about only holding you for your benefit, and it shows in his body language.
Chikage’s constantly tending to you, his fingers trace gently down your arms, eyes locked on you watching your reaction and every move. Any sort of hint of negativity he’ll switch what he’s currently doing.
But when you smile at home, it was insanely difficult to hold in his satisfaction.
He’d rather die than to admit he wants to receive your affection either, so in a way this sort of doting is almost a diversion.
Yet he fell weak to your warm embrace either way. He let his guard down the closer you got to him.
Clasping his hands between yours, planting a small kiss at his fingertips, it made him so embarrassingly weak.
Any form of affection that you gave him seemed to come by surprise. It was a pleasant one, nonetheless, and he made sure to cherish it.
🌸Buys you the basics: chocolate, flowers, and a small stuffed animal
🌸He also makes you breakfast, although it doesn’t exactly turn out…
🌸“Ah, I didn’t think you’d be up this early!! I tried to make breakfast for you… oh, you don’t have to try and help fix it, it’s fine!”
🌸Boy didn’t even know what hit him when you started picking up the burnt food, throwing it away, and starting a new dish.
🌸“Thanks for that. Oh, give me a sec… here! Happy Valentine’s Day, dear!”
🌸He has this dazzling smile on his face when he hands you his gifts, and you’re almost in tears with how happy and proud he is of himself.
🌸You ignore setting up a new meal in favor of trapping the sweet boy in a bone-crushing hug and a kiss on the forehead as thanks as he blushes
🌸“Oh, and I got you one more thing…”
🌸He softly whispers as he gives you a small peck on the cheek, releasing it with a loving smile
🌸“Hehe. I love you.”
Masumi
🎧Don’t try and tell me he wouldn’t put a bow on his head and say that he’s your present
🎧“Oh, you’re finally here. As you can see, I’m your present this year, so use me how you’d like.”
🎧Boy is so surprised when all you really want from him is just some cuddles and kisses
🎧“Just that? Hm, at least it’s better than nothing. Just keep in mind that I want some affection from you too, okay?”
Tsuzuru
🖋️Genuinely forgot about Valentine’s Day
🖋️So when you go to give him a new notebook, he asks what the occasion is.
🖋️“Hm? Oh, you bought this for me? Thanks, sweetheart, but you didn’t have to. Is there any special reason you did this? You know my birthday isn’t until April, right? Oh. OH. Oh nononono I fucked up.”
🖋️He promptly sets down everything he’s doing and sits you down on the couch to cuddle.
🖋️“Hey, no, come here. You’re not going to take care of me today, you do that every day. Today’s about you now, so get in here and I’ll order some food for us. What do you want?”
🖋️After the initial squabble, you decide on something to eat and hold each other close on the couch, with very few words in between the small kisses Tsuzuru placed around your face.
🖋️“I told you I’d spoil you with kisses back on POCKY DAY. Pocky day! That was in November and I never followed through! You’re getting them now, so you’re gonna sit still and let me spoil you a bit. It’s the least I can do with how horribly I’ve been doing lately.”
🖋️Just a very chill Valentine’s Day, and it was very enjoyable.
Itaru
🎮Got you a game specifically so he could play with you, the little shit.
🎮He sits you in his lap, turns on the console, and hands you a controller
🎮When you ask what he’s doing, he only replies with a “You’ll see.”
🎮He boots up a two-player rpg, and he tells you that he plans to finish it with you in one go.
🎮So that’s how you end up spending your day, but of course, Itaru being Itaru, there’s a bit of a catch.
🎮Every time you enter a particularly hard spot or boss battle, he starts kissing you all over to make it ten times more difficult than it already was.
🎮“Hm? You didn’t think I sat you here for no reason, did you? Heh, but you still wanna stay. Don’t tell me you’re enjoying this, right?”
🎮Evil bastard man I love him
Citron
🍋Waking up on Valentine’s Day with him was, well, a surprise to say the least
🍋“Good morning, darling!”
🍋You were fighting for your life as you tried to sputter out a reply, but struggled due to the rose petals that had been thrown all over you.
🍋Apparently, Citron thought it was a good idea to stand over your bed until you woke up, then shower you in flower petals as a romantic gesture.
🍋Although the sentiment was appreciated, the exposition was…iffy.
🍋“Oh, so sorry! I didn’t realize you would have struggled with this so. No matter! I made you food! Come see, come see!”
🍋You groggily got out of bed to trudge to the kitchen to find a spread unlike anything you’d ever seen.
🍋“Tada! I made food from my country for you to try! Do you like it?”
🍋Now it was your turn to make Citron struggle with a bone-crushing hug, showing just how happy he made you.
Hello! can I have some uhhhh Citron, Kazu and Banri with a very romantic partner? They give the boys flowers and make little surprises for them and just shower them with love basically? They deserve it. Thank you!!!
Yes we can? this was so cute??
THANKS TO YOU! 💕
Citron, Kazunari and Banri with a romantic s/o
Citron
This man adores PDA and is more than comfortable receiving such attention from you in front of the rest of the dorm.
Loves getting compliments from you and hearing you say I love you – the further you are from him when you say it, the faster he’ll run to wherever you are to attack you with hugs and kisses, screaming it back at you.
There’s a lot of you playfully jumping on him and Citron just twirling you happily around. He enjoys the way you grasp your arms tightly around his neck while laughing, resulting in making both of you fall from the force of the twirls.
He practically burst with joy when you ask him for a dance or start singing with him at the top of your voices at the most random times. It makes his chest full and loves how alive it feels to be with you no matter where you both are.
In order to help him get better at Japanese, you write little love notes and put them where he can find them unexpectedly, like in his wardrobe, his pockets, etc -Sometimes he gets over-enthusiastic and starts looking for them on purpose or asks you personally to make more.
You like to gift him flowers. It started as a tradition to bring them during closing nights but it’s now become something you do when you visit, especially when his face lights up when you appear with them without prior notice- he’s particularly fond of jasmines.
“What does it say Sakuya? You must tell me fast!”
“C-citron-san, if you move me that much I won’t be able to read!”
“Oooh I see, sorry!”
Sakuya chuckled and focused once again on the small, pink paper. “Let’s see, this character means life so…” he gave a brief translation,
making Itaru whistled not too far from them.
“I can't believe you can keep a straight face after that insulin shot." The gamer shook his head entertained, his mind still focused on his mobile. He needed to use his last lp before he had to leave it for the next few hours. "Congrats, both of you."
“Yes, Y/N’s notes always make my heart squash!”
"You mean squeeze."
Masumi scrunched up his nose after he took a sip from his water bottle. “I too can write things like that for director.”
“Masumi can we please not start again…” The playwright begged, finishing his stretches on the floor- They were all supposed to start practice soon enough after all. He stood up and sighed, taking away sweat with a towel. “Anyway, I can’t decide what’s more surprising, Y/N-san deciding that was a good place to hide it or you being able to find it behind all those props.”
“It’s the power of our love!” Citron sang, twirling as he got closer to the university student, patting him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry Tsuzuru, you are a good writer!”
“Why do you have to phrase it as if you are sorry for me?!”
"Now that I know the meaning there is something I must do. Tell director I’ll come in a jet!”
“You wanna say in a- and he’s gone. To no one surprise.”
“I’m sure he will be back in a moment." Sakuya walked to Tsuzuru, starting to stretch too. "Citron-san likes to keep all of Y/N-san’s notes in our room!”
“I can’t believe they have actually stuck with the whole flowers and notes thing for this long, uh.” Opening the door, Chikage walked into the room smiling. He didn’t need to ask to get the gist of the situation out of that last sentence. "Yesterday I saw him and Tsumugi planting another pot I guess was from them."
Sakuya giggled. As his roommate, he knew firsthand how much Citron enjoyed all affection he received from you.
“I guess they really are made for each other!”
The door opened a third time in that small amount of time with Izumi, her head turned to the hall even after she arrived in the middle of the room. “Um, does Citron know we have rehearsal? I tried to call him from the other side of the courtyard but he was too fast to-”
“I too can give you notes and flowers everyday for the rest of our lives if you want me to.”
“Whoah, Masumi-kun too close! What are you…? Ah, did Y/N manage to get notes in the practice room again?”
"Who else?"
.
.
"Already-? Citron those are for you to casually find!” on the other side of the line you pressed for the elevator to come, half surprised, half-amused at your boyfriend's antics. “If you look for them it’s almost like a treasure hunt!”
“But treasure hunts are so much fun Y/N! And everything you write makes my heart squash!”
You couldn’t help but feel a bit proud at the excitement in his voice, exactly like the first time he found your first note a long time ago. “I believe it's squeeze, but in any case I'm glad to know.” Upon entering the elevator, you selected your floor. "Were you able to understand everything?"
"Oh no! Sakuya helped me, you choose sometimes very difficult characters!"
A laugh escaped your lips. "Sorry, sorry. Anyway, as much as I love hearing you after such a long day I thought you guys were starting rehearsals today. Did something happen?”
“Yes, I forget time with you moves too fast!” Citron chuckled. He leaned on the wall of his room, still moving the note between his fingers. “We have practice. I still wanted to call you.”
There was a moment of silence after that which made you stop before you walked into your apartment. “Citron?”
“When I look at you, I see the rest of my life in front of my eyes.” The spring member read out loud, his eyes softening at the sight of your handwriting. “I too see the rest of my life in your eyes, Y/N.”
A few cars sounded in the distance on the streets. Giving without expectation sometimes lead to also receiving without limitations, yet actions like those always took you off guard.
Soon, a laugh of pure joy escaped your lips. "You know, I really love you, Citron!" you finally answered, a ticklish sensation going through your body. He gasped from the other side.
“Non non, I love you more!"
He really made you happy didn't he.
Kazunari
Has absolutely no problem in returning all your affection just as openly as you do!
Because you know Kazunari enjoys trying and experiencing new things, you have this cute bag filled with possible activities to do on your dates. Whatever comes out from his blind pick is what you two do and oh my god he loves it.
There’s a lot of sneaking up to latch on him, which has pretty much become one of his most favorite things. Having you suddenly appear in his field of vision with a back hug or a kiss every so often without prior notice puts him in the best mood.
Loves any pick-up lines or endearment nicknames that you throw at him to death -the cheesiest the better-, his eyes literally light up and doesn’t wait long to proudly call himself any of them.
Receiving good morning and good nights’ messages is the absolute norm between you two as well as exchanging supportive stickers before a play or an important deadline. He likes to read them a few times and save them before quickly replying back.
You like to gift him matching phone cases where each of you has a half and when put together they become a full picture. They go from drawings to actual photos and Kazunari is always so hyped over how cute you two look my heart.
Wrapping your arms around his back, you rested your chin on Kazunari’s shoulders before giving him a peck on the cheek. “How’s my favorite boy!”
“Woah, Y/N!” he chuckled as he caught you in his arms. “What’s up? I thought you had a meeting today!”
“It ended early,” you took his hand and intertwined your fingers with his. The campus was still full, students running quickly from one class to another. “Hinata told me you guys also finished earlier so I decided to hurry and let you know now.”
“Mhm? Let me know what?”
“Hehe...” You smiled knowingly, placing two tickets in front of him. “Chaaan!”
“What’s this?~” the summer member stopped from walking any further and turned the tickets around to read its content, eager to see what your excitement was about. You waited, a funny feeling spreading all over your body at the sight of his jaw-dropping slightly and the astonishment in his eyes.
“So… what do you think?”
“You- are so brutal!” Kazunari stared back at you in amazement, making an effort to take away his eyes from the tickets. “No way this is-!”
“It is!” you couldn’t help but cut him, taking one of his hands with yours and jumping enthusiastically. “I was going to going to give it yesterday as a surprise, but the sibling of a friend can’t go so they gave one to me too, so... here it is!”
“Man… you are the best!” he launched to shower you with kisses, making you squeal in delight. Tickets for the event had been sold out too fast for him to make it with all the final around the corner. "This is unreal."
You took his hat and placed it on your head proudly. “Nothing I wouldn’t do for my boyfriend’s cute smile. I think I wasted half a year’s luck on this, but! it is the exposition of the year. I thought it would be a good idea for inspiration too. How is your project doing?."
Kazunari sighed smiling, still on cloud nine. “II want to leave the main parts done before the actual rehearsals. I’ll need spare time to make our poster and webpage after all.”
“I imagine you are all excited for the new play.”
"You bet!" The university student nodded, lifting his arms to stretch as you both finally walked out of your university. “After our last tour and with this new addition? We are totally ready to make everyone fall in love again with the summer troupe!”
“That wouldn’t be half bad. I would love to fall in love with you again.” You laughed amusedly, moving to wrap your arms around his torso.
“Says the one who makes me fall in love everyday.” He winked. His phone suddenly buzzed. “Yuki-chan?”
“Hello Yuki-kun!” you greeted as your boyfriend took the call. There was a sigh from the other line.
“I thought you two didn’t share classes. How come every time I call you are…? Anyway, it doesn’t matter- Muku is calling the others. Director just told us villager C finished the script so we are preparing for a meeting. Were you two going out or something?”
Kazunari opened his mouth but you were faster. “He’ll be there in a bit! I promise I won’t keep him for long!”
“I’m going to hold onto that- uh? No, hack, I like to talk alone- of course I’m talking to him, he’s with Y/N.” the designer sighed frustrated on the other side of the line. “Anyway, don’t be late McExtrovert.”
“See you all in a bit!” the blond finished the call, visibly excited. “Sorry, Y/N-pyon. I feel like our time somewhat keeps decreasing because of me.”
“Don’t be silly! I wouldn’t want it any other way,” you nudged him. “You have been looking so bright lately? I love it” you kissed his cheek.
He shook his head amused. “I sometimes feel like you are too cute. Give my heart a break!”
The comment made you laugh. “Well, I’m Kazu’s number one fan forever no matter what, so I gotta live up to the title. Just remember to take a break every now and then, Mr. McDreamy. I know how you get.”
It was still baffling to the summer member to be able to receive as much love, care and devotion as he felt he did from you, even more than he had ever imagined.
He really was Kazunari Miyoshi- no walls on sight when he was with you.
"Your wish is my command."
You chuckled. You took his hat off your head, putting it on his again and smiled. “Good.” your hands cupping face before kissing him.
Banri
He is so cocky about it.
Every time you say I love you so brazenly Banri pulls you onto him, his face resting on the crook of your neck and placing a kiss there no matter who is around.
You tend to remember little things about him -a place he liked, how to make his favorite coffee, or getting that new CD he couldn’t find- he is taken back. He says things outloud without paying much attention so when he notices you actually take the time to learn about him... yeah, he is the type to pick on you while genuinely complimenting you.
Fully enjoys hearing you talk about how awesome he is. Whenever you come cheering on his plays he's always looking at the rest of the troupe with a smirk like ya see that?
Banri doesn’t really have a problem with PDA, so if you give him a peck in front of others he will probably grab your waist and kiss you for longer just for the heck of it. He also really likes it when you lean on him or sit in his lap- the weighted down feeling comforting him.
In general he’s pretty affectionate. Maybe not as vocal as you, but he lets you know how much he loves you.
Banri’s hand traced shapes onto your arm as he flopped next to you, still sweaty from the performance. His hand slowly traveled up from your arm to your face, gently cupping your cheek, so unusually engrossed in the feeling of your skin underneath his fingers that he almost didn’t notice your eyes fluttering open.
“Yo. Took ya a while to wake up.”
Your eyebrows pinched together in confusion, looking around the now empty theatre and trying to get used to the light. You didn’t need to look at the time to know they had probably closed by now. “Did… I fall asleep?”
“Like the dead. You sure took our play to the core, uh.” He stood up from the seat, offering his hand to help you. “Matsukawa saw you and called for me. Why the hell did you stay? I thought you had class tomorrow mornin'.”
“Yeah well- it was your first play as a new troupe, I wanted to see you before I left.” You smiled standing up. At this point you knew premiers always ended quite late with everyone making adjustments and discussing things between the staff and the actors, but you didn't mind waiting. You noticed your boyfriend hadn’t changed from his costume yet. "How is everyone? Is Azami happy with how he did?”
“I guess. He was just now yappin’ at Sakyo-san for not followin' correctly the make-up remover steps. The others are changin'.”
“Bet you are tired from all that jumping and fighting.” You mentioned as you both walked up the stairs towards the main entrance. “I was at the edge of my seat the whole time.” Banri scoffed visibly proud.
“'Course it was awesome. We even spent more than usual takin' photos after the play. People loved the whole makeup thing an’ all.”
“I can imagine.” you agreed while putting on your jacket. Autumn troupe always had fans waiting afterward to get autographs and exchange quick greetings before going backstage. “You know, you were a pretty handsome zombie hunter.”
He sighed, running his hand across his hair. “Gotta say, it felt real cool back there. Glad you could make it."
Your arms were soon tight around his torso, giggling up at him. “Well, can I get a goodbye kiss from the oh-so-best zombie hunter before I go?” Banri raised his brows and smirked, before leaning down to you. His fingers ran over your jaw as he tipped your head back and sealed his lips over yours. His tongue speared into your mouth, making you sigh content.
“What the hell.”
“Oh-" you broke the kiss and turned your head towards the voice, recognizing it instantly. "Azami! Congrats on your first full play!”
“A-chan, did you find- ah, Y/N-chan! I didn’t know you were still here! You saw us?” Taichi waved from other the end of the hall energetically, his make-up already removed. After all the hard work it seemed like he still could do another full play without problem. "Ban-chan, Sakyo-nii is looking for you!"
“That old man...” Banri grumbled annoyed with you still smiling in his arms. Meanwhile you put your hand in an O shape to make an echo. "Of course I watched it! You guys were super cool!”
Even from where you stood, you could absolutely tell how the youngest addition becoming more and more flustered. He pointed at you two indignant. “What the hell are you two doing in a public place!”
“What do you mean?”
“Those two were- you guys were-!”
“Breath man, it’s not like we were fully makin' out in front of you or anythin'.”
“Wha- don’t shit with me!”
“Sorry Azami, we’ll be careful next time!” The tone of your voice however made it clear you didn’t regret your actions, still not letting go of Banri either. Azami groaned embarrassed and left the scene back to their changing room, followed by a confused Taichi after saying goodbye. You chuckled.
“Azami is cute.”
“If you say so.” He glanced at you, not fully understanding how you considered the other boy’s actions as such. He stretched his neck. “Anyway, if you wait I could walk you home.”
"It’s fine. You go directly to rest after you get to the dorm, I’m happy now that I got to keep you a bit for myself,” you patted his chest. “See you tomorrow at uni? I’ll bring some tasty coffee from that shop we went to last week.” Banri stared at you in silence for a few seconds before flicking you in the forehead.
“Ow! Why? You were only supposed to say yes!”
He rolled his eyes, but held you tighter. Sometimes he didn't know how someone so... you, had decided to stay with him. He was pretty perfect, sure. But he had gotten a bit of the harsh reality after Mankai. You really were the better part of the relationship.
The slender muscles in his forearm flexed as he bent to bring himself nearer to you, purple eyes closing in order to kiss you once again. Today's tension somewhat disappearing almost instantly. When you two separated he squeezed your right cheek. It was warm. “You write me when you arrive, got it?”
“Only if you promise me to rest a lot.”
The autumn leader nodded lazily at your instruction as he opened the main door for you to step out. Your casual last peck and "Love you!" were not missed as he followed your figure walking humming until he lost you in the busy street, everyone heading to their respective homes.
The actor looked up at the almost dark sky, seeing a few red leaves falling from the trees coloring the path-typical of the season- a slight tingle in his lips left behind by yours.
He sighed, finally heading back inside to change with a content smile.
Hey! If that's okay could i request Citron being friends with a chaotic reader? And like, some how they manage to drag everyone in their dumb shenanigans?
Once Izumi left them alone 2 minutes to answer a phone call and then walked in on them doint that one challenge where you have to climb on your friend, Tsuzuru and Sakuya were freaking out, Itaru was recording the whole thing while Chikage and Masumi were just watching but they were both amused.
it is super okay to request, i love checking my inbox! i love citron with all my heart and i actually remember making a request to another hc blog that’s real similar to this- this can be read as romantic or platonic, but either way you and citron are close!
btw, here’s the video from the ask. trust me, it’ll make a lot more sense if you watch a bit of it.
word count: 1245
tags: gender neutral reader, platonic, a little a crack
summary: Izumi takes a call! Masumi makes a Tiktok! Tsuzuru takes an Aleve! Anything is possible when Citron and Reader put their minds to it.
Izumi and Matsukawa craned their necks over the phone.
Despite being on speakerphone, Tetsuro was as silent as ever. Or quiet? Izumi couldn’t tell. Why’d he call her again?
“Those set dimensions sound perfect,” Matsukawa said. “Oh, but what’s the transition in Act 2 going to look like?”
Right. Thank god someone knew how to talk with Tetsuro on set design.
Izumi watched the call time tick by the second as Tetsuro… talked? Was he even making a sound?
Matsukawa slapped his knee. “You’re so funny!”
Izumi looked at him like a student taking a scantron test only to realize all the answers were C. He nodded along to nothing. “Exactly like that, yeah.”
Izumi tugged on his sleeve. Should I be taking notes? She mouthed.
You’ll get it sometime, Matsukawa mouthed back.
Silence.
“That’d be great.”
More silence.
“Uh-huh?”
The phone crackled.
“Got it! Yep, no worries here! We’ll see what we can do. Thanks, Tetsuro!”
Even more silence.
“Ahahaha! No, you hang up!”
Silence to no one’s surprise.
“No, you hang up!”
Izumi sneezed a little.
“No, you hang-“
Izumi snatched the phone. “Bye Tetsuro.” She smacked the hang-up icon before Matsukawa could get into a cycle.
“Tetsuro says he’ll have the set done and transported to the theater by the end of the week,” Matsukawa chirped.
Izumi sighed in relief and ran a hand through her hair. “Great. Sorry about cutting you off, Matsukawa, but Spring Troupe’s in the middle of a runthrough with Reader and I don’t want to leave them be for too long.”
“Why’s that a problem? Reader’s a responsible coach.”
Izumi trudged along the hall and to the rehearsal room. Matsukawa followed suit. “75% of the time, yes. The other 25%? Citron’s there, and as talented as they both are they enable each other like no one’s business.”
“They still get along, though. I can’t imagine it being any worse than Banri and Juza.”
Izumi clasped a hand over the doorknob and turned. “I guess you’re right.” The door clicked open. “At least they don’t waste time trying to grapple each other.”
The first thing she saw- and really, how could she not see it- was Tsuzuru toppling into her. She stumbled but caught him with crossed arms.
“Director,” he whimpered. His face was turning blue. “Please help.”
“Huh? What’s going on- oh.”
Man, Izumi thought as she took it all in, a little too exhausted to react. I really need to stop inviting irony into my life like this.
In the center of the room was Citron, hands pointed out and knees bent, which wouldn’t even be strange, except for the fact that Reader was plopped on his shoulder, flailing to grab his side. “Welcome back, Director!” Despite Reader’s sandal smushing into his cheek as they swiveled underneath his arm, his voice projected just as clearly as ever. In any other situation she would compliment him on that, but there were more pressing matters.
“Why is Reader climbing on you like a bug.”
Reader’s hair brushed the floor as they yelled, “Koala, actually.”
“Why are you still on him?!”
“It’s a thing,” Itaru called. He sat on a table and turned to Izumi, face half-obscured by a purple phone. He pointed the camera to her. “It’s for Masumi’s Tiktok. Say hi.”
“Masumi has a Tiktok?”
“It’s for you.” On cue the youngest of Spring Troupe sidled next to Izumi. “I missed you.”
“I was outside for two minutes.”
“Two minutes too long.”
“Wow! Literally no one answered my original question.” Izumi changed the subject like a pro. “What’s going on?”
Itaru looked downright offended. “I said it was a thing!”
“What does that even mean?!”
“It is a trend! Like a meme,” Citron said.
“Coming through!” Reader hefted themselves up his back, and Itaru snapped the camera back to the duo. Citron wobbled and Reader nearly went careening.
On the sidelines, Chikage cupped his hands around his mouth. “Tighten your abs!”
“Are you squawking to me?”
“Talking, and yes, I’m gonna fall-!”
“Et tu, Chikage?” Izumi said, betrayed. “C’mon. I thought you were responsible.”
He shrugged. “It’s good Tiktok material.”
“Do you have a Tiktok?” Masumi asked. “I’ll like every video you post.”
“I’m taking an Aleve,” Tsuzuru announced. He took an Aleve.
Izumi toyed with the idea of asking Tsuzuru for one.
…Nahhhh. It wasn’t headache-inducing yet.
All the while, Sakuya teetered behind Citron, arms outstretched like he expected Reader to fall at any minute. In his defense, they almost did seconds ago.
“Aren’t you worried?” He said. “That looks scary.”
“It is like a trust fall,” Citron said. “I trust Reader, so they will not fall.”
“And if I do, I’m taking him down with me,” the acting coach affirmed.
Sakuya nervously laughed. “That’s really great and all, but I’m a little concerned. And I think Tsuzuru’s about to pop a blood vessel.”
“He’s right!” The scriptwriter cried. He sat in the corner of the room, curled up and buried under his hoodie. “I can’t pop a blood vessel, my health insurance doesn’t cover that!”
“Do not worry, Tsuzuru! I am strong and steady like an Ancestry!”
“Like a tree,” Chikage corrected. “Ancestry.com does have a tree, but it’s not the one you’re thinking of.”
“Wide legs!” Reader’s voice strained as they inched lower. “I’m going through your legs!”
Izumi’s jaw dropped. “Are you insane? You need to stop!”
“Let them have this,” Matsukawa said.
“You’re still here? Wait, don’t egg them on!”
“You have 10 seconds left,” Itaru reported.
“Do a backflip,” Masumi encouraged.
“Huuunnnggghhh,” Reader groaned.
Reader did not do a backflip. Their face poked out upside-down between Citron’s legs, red-faced as blood rushed to their head. They grabbed his thigh, fabric curling under their fingers as they heaved through the space. Izumi could see them tremble, until she couldn’t. There was a thud, and then there was Reader, flat on the floor.
Sakuya squeaked and held out a hand. “Oh, my gosh! Reader, are you okay?”
“We were so close,” they gasped, trying to catch their breath. “We were so close and for what.”
“My Tiktok,” Masumi whispered, clearly in mourning.
“Dw, I got it.” Itaru waved Masumi’s phone in the air, already playing back the footage.
Masumi immediately brightened. “Oh. Okay.”
“Tsuzuruuuu,” Reader whined. “Can I have an Aleve?”
“Are you kidding? Of course. That was so stupid. What were you thinking?”
“I asked for an Aleve, not a lecture, Dad.”
“It was fun while it lasted, Reader!” Citron crouched down and laid next to them while they swallowed the pill. “I think we could do the full challenge next time.”
“There is no next time!” Izumi cried. “That was dangerous!”
“But it was funny,” Chikage defended.
“You’re kidding me.”
“It was really funny,” Masumi agreed.
“Super funny,” Matsukawa said.
“Oh, hey, Matsukawa!” Sakuya greeted him with a smile as he opened up Tsuzuru’s box of dinosaur band-aids and stuck a Stegosaurus onto Reader. “I didn’t know you were visiting us today!”
“I didn’t either, but I’m glad I did!”
Citron dug through the box and slapped on the first one he saw, a cherry red Brachiosaurus with the neck bent into a heart. “Look, Reader, we match!”
“Aw, that’s cute. See, I told you I’d take you down with me.”
“Please don’t use all my band-aids, I’m not made of money.”
Izumi looked like she was about to cry. “I’m never leaving you seven alone again,” she said. 🍋
❤️ hello! may i request 16, 26 and 30 for Citron? (ive been reading your posts for a while and i really love them!)
Citron:
16. ♥ Do they have at least one bonding activity they devote to doing with their partner exclusively?
Citron likes when you come down to the market with him, introducing you to all the ladies who he had made friends with during his time in Japan. He liked going to the market with you, having you hook arms with his as he shows you all the stops along the way he liked to make before he ended up going back to the dorm. You see that Citron has quite an adventurous route when he goes out but you expected nothing less, only growing flustered when the ladies started to dote over the two of you and gush on about what a cute couple you made.
26. ♥ What do they love most about their significant other?
Citron loves that you are unapologetically yourself. Even around him you had always stayed true to your personality rather than putting up a façade to trick him into believing you’re someone you’re not. Your genuine personality is something he had always admired and he thought you were very cute from the start, holding the faces you made whenever he spoke up about your cuteness near to his heart.
30. ♥ Would they leave the person they love if it meant saving their life/giving them a better chance at life?
Citron is the type who has learned to cut off his emotions when it comes to hard decisions, able to make them even if he can only keep said emotions at bay for so long. He would never want to give up on your relationship so easily, as though it were just some passing thing and as though you weren’t a person who would be permanently nestled in his heart, but he would do what he had to when it came to assuring your safety.
can i request headcanons for citron and azuma with a reader who's fond of spicy food (almost like chikage)? you can choose whether it'd be platonic or romantic, i trust your tastes!!! thank you in advance, ily ^_^ <3
@tomicito You beautiful angel... You will get both and it will be damn romantic, because you deserve it!! So here, have this and my love as well!! *shoves everything to you!*❤️❤️
❁ “Taste this, (y/n)! It’s super spicy!” Said your boyfriend as he held up a spoon full of spicy curry in his hand.
❁ He loves to feed you! It will always make him smile to see you eat the food he enjoys too!
❁ You two even go buying spices in different shops (sometimes Chikage, Izumi and Guy join you)
❁ Those dates are the best dates, because you would try different spices, hold each other’s hands and just be happy beings in love (≧∀≦)
❁ He loves to cook with you so much!
❁ Some other times, Citron would ask Omi to cook something nice for him so he could surprise you with your favorite spicy food!
❁ (Juza once ate it by accident, thinking it was something sweet but no... Spicy Cookies are not sweet at all!!)
❁ Citron even tells you many times, that your future children would love spices too and he was like 1000% sure of it!
❁ Sometimes you thought he would be kidding about this whole “future children” thing but nope... He is totally serious about it!! He wants to have many kids with you!
❁ He even has names for them!
❁ They aren’t good names... Just saying... “Jalapeño” and “Shrimp Sushi”...
❁ But other names were... Okay, I guess. It reminded you of his family like “Clementine”, “Bergamont”, “Mandarine”, “Seville”, “Trifoliata” and the best one “Cara (Cara Navel Orange)”
❁ Always know, that you are stuck with strange children names written on paper and hanging around your pin wall...
❁ “You still love me, right?” “Of course, my spicy boyfriend.~”
Bonus:
❁ “Spicy boyfriend? Ohh... I didn’t know that you wanted-“
❁ “NOOOO! I meant like in... We both like spices and I... Citroooon?! What are you doing?!”
❁ The dear boy misunderstands many things, but no matter what, he will always be your favorite sweetheart!
☀️ Azuma loves to feed you, just like Citron!
☀️ Just seeing your happy face, eating one of your favorite foods, makes his heart beat faster.
☀️ His lips are often lingering on yours, tasting the spiciness from your red and soft lips.
☀️ “Tastes good!~ I should always try it with you.”
☀️ “Stop it, Azuma... You make me blush....”
☀️ Thankfully he likes spicy food too. Of course not as much as Chikage or you, but he would eat them for you!
☀️ He would always chuckle at your reddened cheeks that looks like fresh tomatoes.
☀️ He loves holding you in his arms, while you rest your head on his chest.
☀️ Azuma would always accompany you, whenever you want to try something new.
☀️ Spicy food tastes totally great with a cup of sake, which is why he sometimes drank one, if you’re okay with it!~
☀️ He even tries to find some new spices for you and asked many if his costumers he’d met before he became an actor.
☀️ That’s why you often got new ones!
☀️ You can find them either in the kitchen or on your desk with a small sweet letter.❤️
☀️ On some occasions, you want to feed him, which makes him always tease you!
☀️ Nice reminder, that you could blush around him a lot... And that’s not because of the hot spices...
☀️ Hand holding while walking through the streets and window shopping!
☀️ It’s always fun to have him on your side!
Bonus:
☀️ “Ohh, that tastes well, (y/n). It’s as hot as you. But know that I think about it... You are hotter.” And then that damn wink he gives you!
☀️ “S-Stop teasing me... We are eating, Azuma...!”
hi there, would it be okay to ask for first kiss headcanons for the spring troupe please! and thank you!
Spring Troupe - First Kiss HCs
—
Sakuya
Sakuya’s performance had taken your breath away, pride swelling in your heart at how much your boyfriend’s acting had improved since you’d met him. Now, you grinned widely as he approached you, awaiting him backstage with a well-arranged bouquet of congratulatory Roses, Tulips and Daisies (Tsukioka had helped you pick them out; he’d always smile fondly whenever he saw the two of you together, your combined zeal was infectious).
You’d stepped forward and kissed him full on the lips, and when you pulled back, he’d flushed giddily and wobbled in his upturned, ‘deer-skin’ hunter’s boots. You couldn’t help but giggle at his reaction, but he’d laugh with you in joy, bumping his nose against your own in an little Eskimo kiss. You’d had to remind him not to be so affectionate he’d crush the flowers, and it was as if he’d barely noticed them in favour of you. Still, he was obviously chuffed to bits that you’d come to support him, and he hoped to himself that you’d always be there, filling his heart with warmth.
Masumi
After evening practice, Masumi usually liked to find somewhere suitably comfortable around the dorms’ lounge to doze off. You’d noticed him on the sofa, a little lopsided, with his headphones’ cables tangled around his neck. He’d been working so hard lately, what with the next Spring play coming up...
Gently, unwinding those two rubbery cords and laying a soft (you’d almost considered a forehead kiss, but any kiss from you was sure to wake Masumi up), fluffy blanket across his sleeping form, a pair of arms wrapped around your waist, and you fall into him all too easily. He opens his eyes a crack, groggy, and nuzzles into your hair, “Mm... Don’t go... (Y/N),” he’d mumble. All Masumi felt like doing was falling into a sleepy daze with you, as his lips found your own, and you kissed him back. It was far too comfortable not to fall asleep in his embrace, perfectly content.
Tsuzuru
He’d been holed up in his room for a long while. Surely he must’ve have gotten hungry by now, right? It is at this point where you get up to go check on him; while you don’t want to disturb his creative process, especially at an important time, you also know there will be no process if he dies from lack of any proper nutrients. A glass of water with some buttery toast had been your offering of choice, knocking softly on his door, and well aware you wouldn’t receive a response, you slid inside. Ah, there he was...
In his dim, murky abode, he sits with his back to you, his only current movements the quickening tap, tap, tap of his nail against the wooden desk. Then, as if he suddenly was struck by lightning, he’d return to frantically typing out hunks of stage prompts and witty dialogue. It was a cycle, you’d notice. You come closer, he smells of coffee and fatigue, but when he notices you he still manages a soft smile. It’s not intentional; he’s simply always felt so comfortable around you. So he, still distracted, leans over to quickly peck you on the lips in gratitude, as if he already subconsciously views your fledging little relationship as something more, like you’d been married for years. You’d been a little shocked, flustered even, but you’d left quickly, trying to ignore the pink tint to your cheeks. When he comes fully to his senses, he buries his head in his hands and groans. Oh no... He’d have to make it up to you, that was no way to go about things! At least you’ll have an excuse to kiss him properly next time, won’t you?
Citron
To be with Citron often meant to be whisked away on all sorts of outings, and this time, idyllic, fields of insurmountable green spread wide before you both, dotted by specks of vibrant colour, waving in the cool spring breeze. Japan’s natural scenery could be breathtaking — it was a sentiment he had expressed to you on many occasions — yet only now did you feel this wonder as he did, threading your fingers into his, connecting palms and smiling at his elated grin.
So you proposed a fun kind of game; an obvious excuse to go dallying through the long grass. You were quite sure he’d win, but still, you bunched as many cloudlike dandelions in your hands as you could fit, only straightening when you felt a gentle tap to your elbow. Had he really gathered 100 in such a short amount of time? No, he’d used all his time weaving daisies into a circlet. You couldn’t feel so annoyed at him when he set it atop your head, stroking your hair fondly. “Ah, (Y/N), you look as if a Prince/Princess!” If it came from Citron, it must be true. You could nearly feel Muku’s sparkling eyes all the way back in Mankai as he took your hands in his own and twirled you, pulling you in again for a sweet kiss.
Itaru
Taruchi’s S/O just had that magic touch, it was the only explanation why they’d given him 5 SSRs in a row each time they drew for him. You, this godly being, had even replaced Sakuya as Itaru’s lucky charm. I’m impressed. Either way, he’d gotten caught in a difficult situation; the next Spring and Summer joint training ‘camp’ would take place in somewhere that had Wi-Fi, but the poor man didn’t have enough gems to bulk draw in the new gacha yet! Well, it was more that he’d busted his wallet on other games, leaving him unable to whale buy more of them until his next pay-check. It was up to one single draw, and you were going to be the key in his master plan...
You’d come to give Spring and Summer a sendoff, having rustled up a couple of snacks for the journey with Izumi (non-curry flavoured). Itaru had been somewhat troubled on how to get your blessing if you weren’t going to be there, Sakuya’s draws just hadn’t been the same... Either way, at the time you’d been chit-chatting together on the sofa, when at some point the conversation veered onto the topic, and he’d gotten the idea. It was a good opportunity to tease you, as he suggested you give him a ‘good luck kiss,’ so that you’d work some of your magic on his own draws. You, however, were no coward, so you took him right up on that... He hadn’t expected you to actually do it, to be fair, you’d honestly managed to take him by surprise! Of course, he got his SSR after that, the one that reminds him so much of you...

Thankyou for the ask, Anon! Sorry for the long delay... •~•
