They didn't start dating after Kamino but is when their feeling for each other start to grow to something else.
Kirishima realize it first, so he star flirting right away (live without regret, imma right?)
Bakugo reject him in every atemp because he doesen't know how to act when Kiri flirt with him, he gets all nervous and shit so he try to not think about it too much.
After the Eri rescue however everything change. He felt so weak, so unworthy he need to get that license or he could never be next to Kirishima again.
It take some time for him to realize his feelings, but he still did'n felt worthy so he consentrate in his intership and in training.
They weren't spending so much time together any more and they miss each other like crazy. So one day they made a sleepover in kiri's room and thats when it happened.
Oh boy, I have some angst in store for you today let me tell you. This poor boy has been through a lot.
Trigger warning for murder, taking care of babies, bl**d, and cl*wns
DICE...everyone liked the sound of that. Hanako gloated that it was like she was in one of those secret spy organizations like in the movies and, well Kokichi couldn’t agree more. He did sneak into a cinema once or twice so he knew a thing or two about evil organizations. Not that he thought he was evil, hell no, couldn’t be farther from the truth. But from Maki and Goro’s comments about stealing being evil it was kind of hard not to have that mindset.
So he went with it. Even practiced making evil faces in the mirror a few times. Practice makes perfect after all.
And would you know it the young boy actually loved having company. Sure Goro was quiet and always apologizing for the dumbest things, Maki scared the shit out of him, and Hanako cried for almost everything, but it was fine. Besides, Hanako taught him a really great trick to guilt-trip adults. All he had to do was cry. That easy. Just cause a scene and everyone would go to your aid. Plus with extra people they were able to get more things like televisions and game consoles. It wasn’t stealing, it was giving to orphans and that wasn’t evil...right?
However it really wasn’t an organization with only four people...in the movies they had more members. So once as Kokichi was sitting in front of the store he usually steals or guilt-trips people to buy from he sees something odd going on in the street. A woman carrying a bundle in her arms while another man chases her from behind. He seemed to have a gun in his hands, the woman was running for her life! A headache filled the boy’s head as a memory crossed his mind. He was smaller. A woman with black hair holding him. A man with purple hair knocking a gun out of the hand of a man pointing it right for him. Cringing at the slight pain Kokichi held his head. He didn’t know why he did this but he got up and chased the man.
His feet were not as fast as the man however and out of no where there’s a loud bang. Then a baby crying. Kokichi quickly hid behind a brick wall. It was a good thing he did too, since the gunned ban came out of the alleyway with a handful of cash leaving a crying baby at his wake. Should he dare look back there? He definitely wouldn’t like what he was going to see. Still he turned around slowly into the dark alleyway. The woman was face down in a puddle of blood while the baby cries brokenhearted and afraid beside her. Cautiously Kokichi approached the woman and checked for signs of life. There was none. Also for a second he could see the woman being that black haired woman carrying him in his memories which made him gasp and fall back.
“N-No...t-that’s not mama...” He consoled himself. She’s probably okay and will come back for him, after all the body was gone the next day, who’s to say an ambulance didn’t pick her and his father up and bring them to safety? Now they’re just looking for him! But this baby...what if something happens to it? It was much too young to take care of itself like he was. Ooooh but what would Maki and the rest say? He has to decide quickly, the sounds of sirens were coming closer and closer.
-------------------
“YOU BROUGHT HOME A BABY?!” Maki’s loud tone of voice made Kokichi jump and the baby cry even louder. “Yeah! It’s our new pet! Surprise!” Maybe if he pretends it’s a gift they won’t get so mad. He was wrong. Goro smiles politely, even if it was easy to see the baby just made more worry on him. Maki was very angry, angry enough to beat Kokichi to a bloody pulp and she probably would have if he wasn’t cradling a baby in his arms. Hanako was very excited though, jumping up and down to try to see the baby.
“Babies aren’t pets, dipshit.” Maki growled holding her temples. She does her best not to curse in front of little ones but by God was she in a bad mood. Even Goro could see the steam rising out of her. Maybe he should try to heal the situation a little bit.
“Now now, Maki. You did the same thing when Hanako was in danger.” Goro tries to put a hand on his sister’s shoulder before she pulls away. “That was different! You can’t just STEAL a baby! What if the parents find out? What if they find out about us?”
Kokichi was silent, he shows the blanket with a bloodstain on it.
“They won’t...it’s mom is dead.”
“D-Don’t call them an ‘it’! And what about their dad?!”
“I-I dunno! W-Why are you yelling at me? You’re scaring the baby!”
Maki quickly took the baby from Kokichi’s arms and examined them. Their cries getting louder and louder, the baby thrashed and moved. Finally Maki looks at the others, her eyes closed. “They need a diaper change.”
“W-What?!”
“N-No way am I doing that again! I already used to change yours, I’m not doing THAT again.”
“Ewww hehehe!”
“You don’t have to. You just need to get me some diapers and diaper cream. You steal from the store all the time, right?” Maki states, bouncing the baby on her shoulder. That oddly seemed to calm it down a little. How was she this gifted with kids? “Fine, but don’t let it barf or poop or whatever on our stuff. Hana, stay with Maki and help her with the baby. Goro, come with me.” True to his leader form Kokichi gives orders imminently and the rest follow. Perhaps what Maki said was right. Being a leader does run in his “jeans”. As ordered Kokichi managed to snag a bag of diapers and diaper cream as Goro distracted the workers as usual. Man Kokichi hopes he doesn’t grow much taller because stealing is way easy because of his height. At long last they arrive at the abandoned building they lived in.
“We got the-”
“Give me that.” Maki practically took the supplies out of his arms. She must be really desperate to stop the infants crying. Even Hanako was covering her ears. Swiftly Maki places the baby on a table and begins working. Curiously Kokichi looked over Maki’s shoulder to see what she was doing and then quickly regrets it, his face turning green and close to dry heaving. That was a horrible idea. Yet Maki seemed...unbothered by it? It was almost mesmerizing at how fast she changed them. Once she was done the crying...stopped?
“Did you fix it?” Kokichi asked, now feeling better from the peace and quiet without the baby yowling.
“Did you fix him. He’s a boy.” Maki corrects him as she cradles the child. “And yes. He’s fine now. Also his name is Kenji...” The baby quickly falls asleep in her arms finally making the place quiet.
“How do you know?” asked Goro tilting his head to the side. Maki simply shows Kenji’s tiny chubby arm to reveal a hospital bracelet on it.
-Kenji Date, DOB: 7/6/20XX, Paitent ID: 11037
So the baby was probably born recently given how close the dates were, maybe about one month old. Still Maki was looking angry with Kokichi, but didn’t do anything. “C’moooon you can’t stay mad at me forever can you? Look at this faaaace. It would be sad without my ultimate assassin friend.”
“Call me that again and you’ll be the next victim...” she warns, her eyes narrowing again. “But aren’t assassins and murderers different things?” Kokichi asks, honestly confused. “They’re the same thing, dumbass...” Well shit he didn’t know. Another awkward silence.
“I guess everything worked out in the end though. And hey! We can add more members with other orphans! Think of this, a whole network of orphans working together to protect each other!”
Maki shook her head. “That sounds like a cartoon...”
“But you’d watch it, wouldn’t you?”
“Fine, I guess so...but no babies okay? They’re really hard to take care of as it is.”
And with that promise, DICE gained more and more members. In about a few years the whole place would be practically crawling with orphans or kids who wanted to be away from abusive homes. In fact so many orphans had lived there that they even had to move some to upstairs rooms. And with more members came cool new stuff! More toys, books, games, anything they could steal they would. It was like running their own little orphanage. However they did have to have some other leaders in power too making sure the other’s stayed in line. Kokichi picked nine others to “co-star” as he put it in his operation. Of course Maki was one, so was Goro, but because he was immature only the tall kids get to be the co-leaders.
“But you’re shorter than all of them! How are you leader?” Hanako asked one day as everyone was making masks to wear for Halloween to play their usual pranks and to hide their identity. “Because I came up with this idea so, as it’s so plainly obvious to see, I should be leader!” Kokichi grins booping the girl on the nose. “Hmph! Well I thought only tall people could be leader so...”
“Nhyhehehe, oh Hana. Tell you what, if anything ever happens to me, you become leader okay?” He tips his leader hat and flaunts his cape as if he was trying to be dramatic. Though how dramatic can you be with an old baseball cap and a tattered old bed sheet flowing behind you? Hanako looked hopeful as her eyes sparkled. “I can have the hat and cape too?” Kokichi dramatically held the bed sheet in front of himself like a vampire would. “Any perks of being DICE leader you can have. But I won’t be leaving any time soon you know~”
As the children drew their masks, Kokichi starts the meeting.
“Hello my fellow crime syndicates! As you know, today is Halloween. We’ve been waiting for this day all year my friends. And finally it came!” The whole building filled with applause which made him laugh. Maki just shook her head. If he keep it up they’ll be found out but he kept everyone so...so together. “Now I know what you’re thinking...’why would we be making clown masks for?’ Well I’ll tell you! Bring in the boxes!”
Hoards of boxes came rushing in being displayed in front of all the children eliciting “oohs” and “ahhs” This was probably their biggest heist yet! Never have the kids seen so much stuff come in before, not even food. What sort of wonders awaited inside those containers? “Now, open!” The bigger kids opened the box to reveal the most amazing thing! Costumes and prank supplies covered the ground. This was the year! This was the year they have an actual, real Halloween! All the kids went forward to grab some stuff but the co-leaders organized them into a single file line to make sure everyone got a costume and supplies.
“Sorry, all the costumes are clown costumes but, hey that’s why I made you all make the masks!” Kokichi exclaimed. Everyone didn’t mind. This was a fun activity and now they had something they can do that normal kids with parents usually do! However Maki was the only one to speak up. “You got crates of costumes? How do you expect not to get caught?! You know they have security cameras, right?” Kokichi shrugged his shoulders and places his hands behind his head. “So? Look at their faces! Even Kenji and Hanako are smiling! Worrying about that stuff will just ruin the moment so just reeeelax a bit Maki.” It was true. The kids looked more happy than ever. But something inside her seemed like this was going to be a bad idea...
Once everyone was dressed they all hit the streets. Each child knew about their one rule: no killing. Their leader was against murder in any way possible teaching the children how horrible death was and how they should avoid it. All of the kids got a costume, as well as eight of the Co-Leaders, but Maki and Kokichi were left without one. “I don’t mind. As long as the kids have one I will just go as Kokichi Ouma for Halloween.”
Boy was this the most fun these children have ever had, With their clown suits and masks on their faces they made mischief in the city. Toilet paper rolls on houses, chalk graffiti on walls, water buckets on doors, the whole place was crawling with little clown gremlins causing mayhem in their wake. It was enough to make Kokichi proud. “Oh this is enough to bring a tear to my eye~!” The leader claims dramatically. Maki just rolled her eyes and said nothing, however she was happy to see the children having the time of their lives. However she stops as she was walking, looking like a deer in headlights at the televisions in a shop window. Kokichi waves his hand in front of her as to get a reaction. All she could do was point.
A newscaster on the screen started talking, a picture of a clown at his side, underneath the headline states: “Clown thieves hit the streets”. Kokichi could feel the lump forming in his throat.
“Good evening.” The newscaster began as he bangs his stack of papers on the table once to align them. “A group of pranksters? Or a group of kidnappers? A hoard of clown suit wearing children hit the streets today causing panic and anger across the city. We have no idea where they come from or what they want, but they continue to wreak everything in their path. We go live to our reporter, Michiko Nakajima.” The screen changes to a woman in a dress with a microphone in her hands. Kokichi could have sworn that the woman was behind him somewhere.
“Thank you, Natsumi-San. I am standing here on the very street where young Kenji Date was taken from his mother’s arms seven years ago. His mother shot dead in an abandoned alley. They couldn’t find the killer or the child’s body, however one clown who has been taken into custody had Kenji’s hospital bracelet in his pocket!” The screen shows a picture of Kenji, his mask off, looking sad and disappointed. The two leaders could feel their souls about to fly from their body.
“I like where I am! You’re not gonna take me to some stinky orphanage!” Kenji exclaimed on the screen as two men take him away. “Luckily the father was still alive to bring little Kenji back home to his rightful place.” The reporter finishes as it then cuts to a man who has red puffy eyes. It seems he had been crying. This makes Kokichi feel immense guilt rise up in the pit of his stomach. “I’m just happy I can finally see my son...these clown people took seven years of me getting to know him.” The man looks like he could break down at any second. “He won’t even call me ‘dad’, he just says ‘where’s Kokichi and Maki’ or ‘Kokichi will save me’!”
The name “Kenji” meant “an intelligent child” but also meant “ public prosecutor”. It all made sense in a way. Just like his own name, “Kokichi”, meant “little luck”. Right now he was having no luck. Maki was beginning to sweat too. From the corner of her eye she could see the news reporter and camera crew come closer. “This makes it even more curious. Years ago another child had been lost after his parents death. Kokichi Ouma, then three years old, was deemed lost as both his parents were killed by his father’s own gang. Another, Maki Haruwaka, the youngest of many children, killed her father in cold blood before leaving with her older brother Goro Haruwaka. Both these children have yet to be found, but law enforcement is still on the look out.”
Without warning Maki began to run. She knew this was a horrible idea! No one would even know their secret if Kokichi just did an inside Halloween party instead like they usually do.
“M-Maki wait-”
But it was too late, she already ran too far. He tries to catch her, but was stopped by a big brawny man who held him by the shoulders. Kokichi kicked and thrashed, but the man had no trouble taking him to where he wanted him to go.
“Maki!!!”
The newscaster looks back at the camera, obviously excited by this rise in the story she was reporting.
“We have word that we might have just found the lost children Kokichi Ouma and Maki Haruwaka! Could this be a clue to find more missing children? We will give updates as soon as they’re avalible. Michiko Nakajima, Tokyo news.”
I have many Thoughts about the Pie family
click the readmore if you want to here the somewhat coherent ramblings of the me
Cloudy Quartz is the daughter and only child of Clear Quartz, the heiress to a very successful mining agency. Her mother is very no-nonsense, and cares far too much about how others view her, seeing her daughter as a way to improve her reputation in the eyes of nobles rather than a person.
Cloudy was very resentful towards this lifestyle and often took any excuse she could to leave the house and see her friends, or anyone really. She had found a second family in a group of mares attending a nearby private school, among them being a very pretty pegasus named Hidden Treasure.
Hidden Treasure (Hidi) was an aspiring geologist and immediately took a shining to Cloudy, knowing her past and her ties to the industry. Cloudy was off-put by this initially, but quickly warmed up to Hidi, seeing that she was nothing but warm and kind to the people around her. Hidi quickly developed a crush on poor, clueless Cloudy, and although Cloudy reciprocated those feelings towards her, she didn’t know how to articulate it (internalized lesbophobia played a big part in this).
The two started dating very casually, more of a ‘friends with benefits’ situation than anything else as far as Cloudy was concerned just gals being pals. Whereas Clear Quartz never found out about the situation, Hidi’s family (consisting of two dads and a ton of siblings) practically adopted Cloudy, accepting her as their daughter and sister, and Cloudy had never felt so accepted.
Cloudy had made a decision, she loved Hidi more than anything and wanted to marry and start a family with her. She felt as if she would finally be happy but uhh nah. Her mom had found out about the relationship and Cloudy was now being sent to a neighboring rock farm to be married to a much older, recently widowed man with 2 daughters. She didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye.
Hidi tried sending letters when she found out what happened, but all connection was cut off by Clear Quartz. Cloudy was to marry the widow, Igneous Rock, and Hidi and Cloudy were to never see each other again.
Cloudy found out she was pregnant a few days after the wedding of her and Igneous, meaning it couldn’t be anyone's but Hidi’s. Whoops.
Img 1: Cloudy had tried to convince Igneous the baby was his, and Igneous was willing to believe it- up until the surprise twins were born, both with heterochromia and covered in feathers. Yikes. Cloudy spilled, saying she had a pegasus lover back home who she was with in secret before Igneous and herself were married. Igneous was disappointed, but was willing to raise the foals, despite knowing they weren’t his own. Not pictured: Limestone and Maud fawning over their new baby siblings.
Img 2: A polaroid of Hidi taken by Posey Poem, Cloudy and Hidi’s friend as well as Fluttershy’s mother. Fluttershy find’s this old picture while visiting her parents and see’s the uncanny resemblance to Pinkie. This is what jumpstart’s Pinkie’s journey of tracking down her true heritage that I will probably talk about in another post.
Img 3: Marble and Pinkie, past and present. Igneous and Cloudy made them wear these big cloaks to hide their colorful features and feathers (and in Pinkie’s case- wings) from the prying eyes of the rest of the community. They were only allowed to take them off when they were at home and no one outside could see them. This suppression causes long-term problems in both of them- but again I’ll probably talk about that in another post. Oh and I should also mention- they’re both trans, Pinkie being amab and Marble being afab. Limestone teases them a lot for “swapping genders”.
thank you for letting me ramble... sorry if this isn’t as coherent as my sleep deprived brain thinks it is.
