Can you rank the boys (kiridai, haizaki and imayoshi) on how much they're into christmas - Who loves it & Who hates it?
honestly, i can’t imagine that any of them are all that into christmas cause a) i doubt that any of them are christians (statistically, 0.12 of the eight of them would be christian - guess that 0.12 would be yamazaki having had an identity crisis for 2 days), and b) none of these fuckers have an s/o to do christmas-y activities with on the 24th, like is the usual japanese thing.
but, if i had to order them from most to least into christmas:
furuhashi - likes learning recipes for western christmas foods
the rest of the kiridai team - couldn’t care less about christmas but do like hanging out (with furuhashi) on the 24th and talking about how much they hate couples. also have plotted how to kill santa many a time, and their plans are getting increasingly elaborate (and realistic)
imayoshi - also couldn’t care less, may meet up with susa on the day but otherwise doesn’t do much. did enjoy telling his sister that santa doesn’t exist but unfortunately he could only do that once.
haizaki - despises christmas. spends it sat in in his dark, empty living room cursing anyone who’s ever dated anyone. probably gets drunk. (in the meantime, his mother is having a lovely time doing community things, and his brother is with a girl laughing about his deadbeat younger bro)
Brief KnB drabbles please. Mayuzumi, Fukui, Sakurai, Wakamatsu, and Haizaki are seated in the crowd as their s/o is about to perform (could be athletic/musical/dance). How do they react when their s/o blows them a kiss before she starts? (If there's a character or two that you cant write, i understand)
ooooh i love this request i’m gonna write for all of them :)))) but i’m adding a wink because i think that just makes things better :3 hope you enjoy !!
- pocky
under the cut for length :)
Fukui would go to any performances that you’re a part of but let’s just indulge in the headcanon that his guilty pleasures are musicals. That’s actually how you two met, he had gone to a musical you had made your debut in and he just absolutely had to get to know who after singing and acting and dancing your heart out. He loved the passion that you displayed. But that’s beside the point; as the curtains rise and the music of the opening song starts, you blow a kiss in his general direction, knowing where the seat you’d saved for him was located, and a sassy wink before diving into your character. Fukui knows himself, and he knows his limits, but this type of cuteness is really testing his boundaries! He brings a hand up over his heart and clutches at his chest, fighting back a teary eyed smile. This girl is just too damn cute for her own good, he thinks to himself.
Haizaki would definitely be at one of your sporting events. He thinks the power and prowess you exude over your opponent is extremely attractive, dare I say hot, and he enjoys watching you play. One of the main reasons being how good you look in your uniform and how good you look when you’ve got determination in your eyes. Haizaki’s all there for it. So when your team takes to the court/field, and you find him in the stands, pucker your lips and cover your mouth, he’s not really prepared for it. He loves it. But when you throw in that wink before turning to focus on the matter at hand, Haizaki’s already thinking up ways of making you sweat later that night.
Mayuzumi is pretty much down for anything, but he just doesn’t really like to…be around other people. That being said, at the opening night for your musical, he’s seated all the way in the back, and it’s quite hard for you to pinpoint where exactly he is. You whisper something to your producer, a request for permission of sorts, and they nod at you. As the curtains are rising, you make an announcement: “I’d like to dedicate my performance to my loving and introverted boyfriend, whom I know is somewhere in this stadium, avoiding everyone. Hope you enjoy the show, Mayu!” and you finish it off with a kiss blown in all general directions. Mayu cannot stop the widening of his eyes and the movement of his hand over his mouth. He is so astonished by your boldness, he doesn’t know what to do with himself. Honestly, after the musical, he probably won’t allude to it. It will probably go unmentioned unless you bring it up. But he ain’t mad.
Sakurai leaves his stereotypical apologetic attitude in his seat as he stands up and claps for you as you prepared to begin your performance. He had never felt so bold. You had invited him to one of your dance performances, and of course he wanted to come, he’s the sweetest and most considerate boyfriend in the world and does everything he can to support you. As the curtains rise over you in your ready position, along with the rest of your team/crew, you look out cheekily into the audience, knowing where Sakurai had been sitting when you left him to go backstage, and wink. Sakurai had to literally cover his mouth to keep the staged noise at the back of his throat from escaping, but his body could not be stopped from standing up and clapping. A guest next to him, tugged on his shirt and hissed at him for him shut up and sit down, and that the show hadn’t even started yet. There, Sakurai remembers who he is, and bows as he starts to apologize profusely to the guest, along with the rest of the audience members around him.
Wakamatsu has two great loves: you and basketball. So when you invite him to your game on opening night, he is already there. He’s absolutely 100% here and ready for it. What he was not ready for, was the kiss and wink you threw in his direction as the teams were being introduced and your name was called. Now, Wakamatsu isn’t totally helpless, and he can be smooth sometimes, so he makes sure that you see him catch the kiss you blow him and doesn’t forget to throw one back. However, Wakamatsu no longer has the sweet competition of basketball on his mind. He’s only really able to think about the sweet competition that might take place after. Not might, must.
honestly i struggled with this, cause haizaki’s the kind of person to graduate high school with absolutely no plans for life
he doesn’t have anything he particularly cares about; he doesn’t have any role models who might have inspired him
his father has been out of his life since he was young; his older brother is just a worse version of shougo (i hc that he’s been in and out of prison since he was a teen); and, judging by how he treated alex, haizaki and his mother have a very poor relationship
haizaki needs a whole lotta therapy and some love pass it on
anyway
he never even considered going to university, so upon graduation, he’s just unemployed, relying on his mother to support him as he spends his days either wandering around the town aimlessly, fruitlessly trying to pick up girls, or slumped across the coach, with beer in one hand, the tv remote in the other, yelling at the basketball players on the screen
(cause sure he “doesn’t like basketball”, but it’s pretty much all he knows - it’s the only thing he’s ever committed to)
(also haizaki’s the type of mf to convince himself that he hates basketball, as an excuse for why he doesn’t check out the local street ball park, to prevent anything that might make him happier from entering his life)
his mother tries to convince him to look for employment, but all it results in is his getting aggressive with her so she leaves him be
he only starts to look for a job when he gets bored
the problem is he’s not got any proper qualifications and most people that meet him don’t like him, so he’s restricted to finding ‘low skilled’ temp jobs that need people with some muscle
we’re talking mostly construction work, dock loading/off loading, possibly the occasional gig as a bouncer/security guard (only if he doesn’t have a criminal record by now though, and these jobs never last cause he gets into fights even when he’s just supposed to be escorting people out)
yeah it ends up being *gig* *long period of unemployment* *gig* *even longer period of unemployment* etc
he just has no interest in anything that he does, and he’s not disciplined enough to work for the sake of working
plus he doesn’t get along with most of his colleagues
he tried working as a factory worker once and quit on his first day cause it was just so boring for him (he really needs work that uses his body)
managed as a delivery guy a little longer until he got very aggressive with someone after they started getting at him for being a little late
he ends up with three potential paths
if he gets his shit together, he might manage as a bouncer, or police officer, or potentially (depending on how desperate the prison system is in japan) a prison guard
if he stays as he is, his best bet is getting more regular and higher paying construction gigs
if he gets worse (likely if his brother gets more involved in his life),
ooooooh can i request a lil scenario? or anything really! where haiza feels really needy for attention from his s/o and his s/o just teases him with "you wanna kiss me sooooo bad it makes you look stupid"
i saw your “anything really” and just lost the fucking plot
affection with haizaki is a tricky subject, as all, True Men know, the only acceptable form of intimacy is doing the do or making out - stroking the inside of thighs can also be permissible, but it’s on thin fucking ice
on the other man, this man is so fucking touch starved, that half of what he considers lust (when someone brushes his shoulder or something) is literally just wanting someone to pat his head or something
(his mother hasn’t touched him since he was like 13; the closest his brother gets to affection, physical or otherwise, is punching him in the stomach)
hence, in a relationship, haizaki’s major thing is pulling moves: pretending to yawn and then wrapping his arm around your shoulder (an old move but this man has no one to learn from), stealing kisses in public and other forms of pda that might irritate an s/o, kabedons probably, etc
in general, man’s big on pda cause he can play it off as just trying to rile you up
which makes being affectionate indoors hella tricky
also cause there’s no sly/sexual way of asking for someone to kiss your forehead and hold you tenderly, like your mother should have, except your mother was dealing with your dickhead brother at the time, and said dickhead brother made he hate everyone in the family, specifically all males, cause none of the men in her life had ever brought her any form of happiness, including her children-
sorry went off on a tangent where was i
realistically your best bet of giving him attention is indeed using the “you wanna … so bad it makes you look stupid” line
he’ll get grumpy about it, maybe even shove you a lil, but later on, when he’s distracted by whatever y’all are doing, give him a kiss on the cheek, or a head massage, or something like that
the trick is being casual about it; as long as neither of you mention the affection, haizaki doesn’t have to defend why he’s letting himself be touched affectionately
for the record, that applies to when y’all are asleep too
if you ever wake up in the middle of the night and shou’s the little spoon, never ever mention it again
just continue hugging him, and letting him pretend (when he rises in the morning) that he was the big spoon the whole time
Hi! I hope you're well! Can I ask Haizaki with a best friend (like Aomine and Momoi) but they're attracted to each other and one evening for some reason they start kissing and finally understand their true feelings?
It can be a scenario or a headcanon, whatever you're comfortable with!
I'm sorry if my English is not good enough but it's not my first language!
Thank you a lot! 🌸 😊
(presuming this is haizaki x fem!best friend; haizaki falling in love with a male best friend would be a whole ‘nother kettle of fish)
man this is the epitome of the “i hate when you’re playing around with other girls,,, bc i want to be the girl you’re playing around with,, except i don’t want to admit it” trope
honestly this friendship would have been rocky for a while, ever since puberty - mostly due to haizaki just not knowing how to behave around members of the opposite sex
but, over time, it would be the only friendship of haizaki’s that would remain constant, so the friend would be the one ‘consoling’ (it’s not really consoling if haizaki refuses to accept his own emotions) haizaki over time
so it’s not surprising that haizaki ends up developing feelings for them: and it might just be the first relationship haizaki gets into where there’s more emotions, on his part, than just lust
anyway, let us retract a few steps to the Evening
haizaki and you are hanging out at his place (cause no one’s ever there), maybe watching a film (aka you’re trying to watch, and haizaki’s just making inappropriate comments), maybe sharing takeout (which haizaki ordered beforehand - it’s mostly foods he likes, but maybe one which is your favourite, but who knows whether he ordered it on purpose or whether it was a lucky guess)
and then presumably y’all get in an argument or something (gotta have that heated tension), and that’s when you spill your emotions
and haizaki responds, in his usual sensitive and not at all one-track-minded way, by just slamming his lips on yours, and grinning smugly over how he always knew he was irresistible
the rest of the night is spent with a lot more of that - particularly the smug haizaki stuff - with the film long forgotten, and with you feeding haizaki the remnants of the takeout, and with haizaki sprawled across you because man’s touch-starved, and the more physical contact the better
when his mother comes home at around midnight, she’s greeted by the sight of the two of you asleep on the couch curled up together like you used to when you were children
it’s the first time since childhood (ironically, also with you) that haizaki’s slept with a girl without sleeping with a girl
Due to statistics, it is said that serial killers have a history of animal abuse/fascination of the dead... Not to ruin any... bodies day, but who in kiridai or your outer spectrum of preferred bad boys could be alternatives to this statistics? Short question; Who the hell tortures cats and dogs just for fun growing uo?
tw animal cruelty
in the normal knb universe, i can’t imagine any of them torturing animals (or being serial killers either - even hanamiya). the closest it could get to that would be haizaki/nash throwing stones at stray dogs, or furuhashi watching a beetle struggle on their back, or watching some insect or another breathe their last breaths.
if you were to put them in a darker au though, this is the kind of shit i’d expect them to do:
hanamiya: dissecting the body of the neighbour’s cat, which he killed with a poison of his own creation (side note: it takes a lot of experimentation on various pets before he makes one that works well, that is slowly and painfully)
imayoshi: constructing elaborate puzzle/cages/traps, leaving food outside them, and watch the insects inside struggle to get out before they die
furuhashi: holding mouses silently by the tail over fires and watch them struggle to get free, rolling slugs in salt
hara: pouring gasoline on stray animals (especially cats) and setting fire to them
yamazaki: in a moment of weakness, when he’s overwhelmed and there’s a dog barking in the background, grabbing a baseball bat and crushing its skull in
haizaki: it starts with beast and ends with iality - i’m not going into any more detail than that
seto: wouldn’t do anything personally, but would happily watch others engage it animal abuse without putting up a hand to help out the animal in question
nash: enjoys aggravating animals caught in traps (often, not always, sets the traps up himself). sometimes that’s not enough, so he takes up beating stray dogs and enjoying just how weak they are against him
(side note, if you wanna see some more 'darker' asks, try out, i can offer:
Hey..sorry to bother you. But may I ask for hcs about what kind of music the boys enjoy listening to? Stay safe and I hope you're doing fine. Your blog is amazing.
Hanamiya Makoto - classical stuff, but the kinda mad classical stuff, think 10 minute long pieces with “devil” in the title, because hanamiya can and will air violin to them until his hair’s a mess, all the while imagining himself as the major antagonist of a film. he listens to those instrumental “pov: you’re a villain” playlists but not ironically.
Furuhashi Kojiro - he doesn’t mind silence, frankly he often prefers it to having music playing, but, if he had to pick one genre, it would be enka. when he’s listening to it, he closes his eyes, and even sways a little bit as if waltzing, getting all intense like he’s moved to the very core by the line “i have always loved you” (to be fair, it’s a very moving song) - and man he loves listening to the more traditional style of japanese singing. It’s something about the Old Times TM.
Yamazaki Hiroshi - good old fashioned japanese hip hop, think something like scha darr para’s “B-BOYブンガク”, and sometimes english-language hip hop too. the combination of these is the reason that his english pronunciation of phrases like “check it out” and “on the microphone” is flawless, but shit whenever he says anything else in english. used to practice the raps at home, and went through a phase of saying “hajime-yo” instead of “hajimemashite” which he’s remains embarrassed about, but he still has dreams of making it as an underground rapper.
Hara Kazuya - rock’s his favourite by far, and that includes pretty much all the subgenres of it, though he tends to lean more towards the indie/punk side of it. especially loves songs with good drums, which he then practises at home, before morning practice, so he can wake the whole house up. discovered sea shanties once and listened to them for a week straight. also knows the lyrics to a weirdly large number of patriotic war songs, from various countries, but he’s not sure when/where he learnt them.
Seto Kentaro - likes more complex music/interesting (think academically)/sophisticated music, as in long and slow guitar riffs which would have been hellishly difficult to play (something like funkadelic’s “maggot brain”), instruments with so much emotion they sound like people, or music which fuses elements from different cultures. for obvious reasons went through a major jazz phase.
Haizaki Shougo - wishy-washy with his music tastes, and doesn’t have any favourite songs, but usually can be found listening to rap, rock, and punk. except occasionally he finds himself enjoying really cheesy pop with lovey-dovey lyrics (the type that 12yo girls listen to, and then fall in love with the idol who sung it, convinced that the lyrics mean he’s single-handedly keeping chivalry alive). of course, haizaki’ll never mention this interest to anyone. he’s refuses to admit it to himself too.
Imayoshi Shouichi - rather than liking a single genre, he has a favourite song in most genres, none of which he’d ever tell anyone about (if you asked, he’d 100% deflect). generally speaking though, none of the music he listens to is particularly intense (he likes hearing himself think, and stuff like heavy metal doesn’t really allow for that), also his favourite songs all have something unique about them. the only exception to this is his collection of hella obnoxious jpop songs, which he studied feverishly, just so he can quote the lyrics in a Mysterious and Wise way to really piss wakamatsu off.
Nash Gold Jr - like hara, mostly listens to rock, but nash listens to the more hard rock/metal end of the spectrum. has liked, at some point, every angry boy TM genre out there, from angry and/or motivation rap, to a brief phase of alternative rock, then to industrial metal, cause, as it turns out, rammstein is far better at pumping you up during a work out than fall out boy.
tw: aphobia (internalised and otherwise); toxic masculinity; (mild) sexual harassment and objectification of women
It starts when Haizaki’s in his first year of middle school, when he’s with his older brother, running errands for their mother (for a change).
“You see that chick over there?” says his older brother, as Haizaki chucks a chocolate bar into the shopping basket (what’s the point in agreeing to buy groceries if you don’t get a little something out of it). “She’s so fucking hot. Man, I’d like to fuck her, cum all over her- Hey, Shougo are you listening?”
Haizaki has been busy deciding whether he should get himself another chocolate bar whilst he’s at it. When his brother elbows him, he glances up at the woman in question - she vaguely looks like his teacher from a while back, with that permanently pissed off expression on her face - and then back down at the chocolate.
“I’m listening,” he replies, blatantly not.
“Guess you’re too young - has puberty not hit you yet?”
His brother’s voice twists into a mocking tone - his laugh is like that of a playground bully’s.
Without thinking, Haizaki snaps, “I’m past puberty. Fuck off. She’s just boring - I see girls like her all the time.”
His brother laughs again, and slaps Shougo’s shoulder.
“If you say so, kid,” he grabs himself a chocolate bar too - now there’s three in the shopping basket, “but, next time you’re chatting with your friends - if you have any, make sure you know how to act. Or else you’ll embarrass yourself. Sex is what being a man is all about.”
The woman looks in their direction. The older Haizaki brother makes a thrusting gesture with his crotch. Her cheeks go an angry red, and she storms off. Judging by his brother’s chuckle, Haizaki presumes that her reaction is a good thing.
That’s the thing about Haizaki Shougo; he’s a good learner, and he’s quick to adapt. Not long after the grocery store event, he gets reported to the headmaster for being overly sexual to the female students (wolf-whistling, straying hands, making ‘jokes’ that are nothing of the sort), and telling one of his female teachers that he’ll only listen in her classes if she strips for him. His mother is furious with him on the way home - he’s been suspended for a few days, and the only reason he hasn’t been expelled is that the headmaster understands that Haizaki’s at an age where his hormones are all over the place.
“’Boys will be boys!’” his mother quotes when they get home, as Haizaki stands awkwardly in the doorway, “all you boys will be is the death of me. Hormones are no excuse for your behaviour!”
Her rant almost convinces him that there’s no real reason to do what he does - his hormones (he worries) are still very much dormant - but, before he can start to contemplate his behaviour, his older brother (who is actually expelled from school - always one step ahead of Haizaki - and is probably going to drop out high school soon anyway) interjects,
“Hey, he’s growing up. You should be praising him - Shougo’s finally becoming a man-“
Their mother then starts yelling at him too, for being such an awful influence, but the diversion of her attention gives Haizaki enough time to disappear up to his room, and lock the door behind him - the way his older brother does when he’s watching porn.
Coincidentally, it’s his older brother who introduced Haizaki to porn too - not directly, but Haizaki saw it on his computer when he was borrowing it to play video games. It’s porn which introduces Haizaki to the thrilling and shivering tension that is getting off. It’s the first thing he thinks of when he gets home, chucking his homework on the growing pile of late sheets and assignments.
And he’ll watch practically anything, no matter how violent (though he stops short of brown showers; even he can’t get off to that), because, regardless of the content, he gets that feeling of release at the end. And it’s when he cleans up the sticky white liquid that he feels most like a man. Most like his brother.
The tricky part only comes when his brother starts pretending he gives a shit about his younger brother’s life. When he starts asking questions like “any of your classmates sexy?” or “who’s your favourite porn star?” Really, Haizaki doesn’t particularly care about people - he just likes getting off; even the concept of sex doesn’t massively beguile him.
But he can’t tell his older brother that. Instead, he says something about how all pussies look the same - so who cares about the girl attached - and his brother tells him never to say that to a chick, or she’ll slap him, so Haizaki says that “it’s more entertaining when they fight you”, and his brother says “you sick fuck” but laughs, to emphasis that it’s not an insult.
The only problem is that, back at school, people are starting to sleep with one another. Not everyone, but very much Haizaki’s crowd. And that makes Haizaki’s life a little trickier, cause he’s real good at talking about porn, but real bad talking about actual girls, and all he can say is that these girls are nothing like porn stars, so how could he want to fuck any of them? His companions (not many) take that as meaning that Haizaki’s into older women. And he can’t correct them, because otherwise they could get suspicious that he’s gay - and he’s not, but there’s definitely something wrong with his head, since his hormones still haven’t started acting up.
So, just to shut them, he decides he’ll fuck Kise’s girl. (If she’s Kise’s girl, then she’s definitely hot, aka definitely the type of girl he should be fucking).
And they do fuck. They fuck in her bedroom, when her parents are away, but it’s still awkward as shit cause it feels like her teddy bear is staring at Haizaki’s naked body the whole time. So, when Haizaki finally cums, when he yells out ‘fuck’, what he really means is ‘why won’t this bear stop fucking look at me’ and not ‘this pussy is so fucking tight’.
He doesn’t know what he was expecting from sex, but it’s definitely not this.
There’s something so repulsive about her face now, as he’s staring at her from the distance, like his head and his dick are connected to two different bodies.
“We should do this again,” she murmurs, running her hands down his chest.
“Nah,” Haizaki swallows, makes his voice so gravelly and uninterested (like he imagines his brother would, in a similar situation), “you weren’t good enough.”
At school the next day, she starts crying and screaming at him - which solidifies the rumours that he’s a player, and brings him a whole lot of respect from all the guys in his class, because not only does he have sex, but he’s also had so much of it that he doesn’t even care about it anymore.
“It’s just sex, right?” says Haizaki with a cigarette in his lips, in high school later on, “it’s no big deal.”
The first year he’s talking to has his eyes wide, like he’s realising just how big the gap is between himself and his senior - after all, Haizaki would never get embarrassed asking out his crush, and Haizaki would never get a hard on in the middle of a presentation, and Haizaki would never wait for his girl to say that they should ‘make love’. Hell, Haizaki never even uses the phrase ‘make love’; he just says ‘fuck’, like all the other cool guys.
What the first year doesn’t recognise is that Haizaki only doesn’t use the phrase cause he’s convinced that love and sex are worlds apart (if they’re not, then Haizaki will never love someone - and that thought depresses him, even if he pretends it doesn’t). And Haizaki only says ‘fuck’ because that’s the word his older brother used, and all Haizaki wants to be is his older brother.
But the first year better never recognise that, thinks Haizaki, as he lets a girl suck him off (staring at everything but not her face) because then he’ll see Haizaki as Haizaki sees himself: a joke.
