well well well...... an illustration depicting the veeeery last scene of my recent hexorcists fic, which can be found here if you'd like 🏹🦎!! um you may suspect that the pleasant and peaceful vibe of this scene which i have just mentioned occurs at the end of the fic is NOT what the vibe of the whole fic is. that is correct. it is largely the matoba torment nexus. but it ends like this so no one can get mad at me. cheers!!!!!

I was thinking a lot about how their friendship probs changed thru the years, i feel like they were closest while Shuuichi was still in HS and things probs changed as Shinobu defected and Shuuichi started acting, they probs slowly stopped seeing each other as much and distance grew. Something (like a big break) probably happened soon after this, but I love the thought of Matoba slowly growing his hair (bittersweet since its him preparing to take over the clan, and its necessity not choice), Shuuichi figuring out wtf is gonna happen in his life, yet still both teasing each other (with an air of tension and judgement as their paths diverge.)

Happy hexfest! (Theyre the same age for exactly 11 days <3)

i love that all of the conversations pre-canon matoba and natori have are just matoba like “we’re cut from the same cloth, you and me :)” (flirtatious intent) and natori is like “NO we’re NOT, and FUCK you for suggesting that”

fellas, do you ever just go up to the roof of a building at night to stare at a billboard ad with your special person in it?

I just had to use "kirakira" in the slogan because it's such a Natori thing (I hope the phrase is grammatically correct). The brand he advertises is sort of a mix between tom ford and killian, and I changed the design of the bottle like 4 times.

An apology would not be enough to make up for years of estrangement, and Shuuichi was nowhere near ready to confront this shift in their relationship with Seiji just yet, but...

After the matters in the old Miharu household were wrapped up, Shuuichi dropped a bottle of Royal Milk Tea and a box of Kinoko no Yama into his shopping basket during his next convenience store run, packing them in his messenger bag afterward. He has enough encounters now to remember the talisman painted onto Seiji's eyepatch, and so he slipped a replica as well into each of his jackets, even though he knew it was a longshot before the fabric would ever see the light of day.

Or: an honest attempt to rebuild a burned bridge, from Natori Shuuichi and the favorite snacks of a certain Matoba clan head that he carried around in his messenger bag, quietly waiting for their moment to shine.
