A/N: Adding yet another fandom to the mix, Iâve been trying to branch out, and get more comfortable writing for things even if Iâm not super deep into the fandom just yet
You first meet him in Shibuya when he suddenly talks to you, heâs bright, playful, and completely ignores your confusion, slipping into your space like itâs the most natural thing in the world
Even when you try to brush him off, he keeps talking, teasing, and smiling in a way that makes it hard for you to actually leave
After that, he keeps appearing (too often to be a mere coincidence) every time you question it, he shrugs it off with a grin and calls it fate, never giving you a real answer
Being around him is strange at first, heâs cheerful and clingy one moment, then distant the next, his tone dropping just slightly, his expression becoming more sharp when he thinks you arenât paying attention
You notice the shift early, but you donât confront him about it, and that alone is what makes you different from other people heâs met
Instead of trying to figure him out, you just treat him the same no matter how he acts, and that unsettles him more than anything
He starts seeking you out on purpose after that, pulling you along into his routines, his spaces, his life
He teases you constantly, calling you cute, leaning in too close, testing your reactions just to see how far he can push you. Itâs playful on the surface, but thereâs always something more observant behind his eyes
Over time, the physical closeness becomes natural, his hand brushing yours, his head resting against you, one day you take his hand without thinking, and though he laughs it off, his grip becomes just a little tighter
People start assuming youâre together before you ever talk about it, and he never corrects them, when you bring it up, he deflects like always, but thereâs a rare hesitation underneath it
The moment things change isnât dramatic, it happens when heâs unusually subdued, his usual energy dimmed as he mutters that staying close to him wonât end well for you
From there, the line between ânot datingâ and âdatingâ disappears without either of you clearly defining it, he just starts acting like youâre his, and somehow, you donât argue
Being with him is inconsistent in a way that only makes sense once you understand him, heâs bright, affectionate, and teasing, dragging you through the city and sharing sweets with you and other days heâs quieter, keeping you close in a way that feels more like self reassurance than his usual playfulness
Despite how easily he flirts with others, it never feels the same; thereâs a clear difference in how he treats you, even if he never says it outright
You become one of the only people who sees both sides of him, the bright, careless persona and the colder, more guarded reality underneath, and instead of pulling away, you stay
And even if he avoids putting it into words, it shows in the way he keeps coming back to you, choosing you in all the quiet ways that matter more than anything he could actually say
Hihi!!! I hope youâre having a great day!!! May I request Jakurai wedding headcanons? Stuff like how heâd feel before and during the ceremony getting married to reader that type of thing!! Feel free to delete this and thank youuuu <3
Ahh...I love this so much! âď¸
Also, I'm sorry im like, so many months late...Enjoy!
Jakurai Jinguji Wedding HCs!
Jakurai would very much be hands-on with helping you plan stuff for both of your weddings.
"Why the long face?" Jakurai asked you softly. "Its just...The dress I want is a little over budget, I'm looking for something similar to it though." You answer him back as you continued scrolling the catalogues.
"Get it then." He spoke and planted a kiss on your head, "It's our special day. I believe we can afford to be selfish for a bit." He smiled and walked away, "If you really feel you want something else, then that's fine with me too, as long as youre happy." He added before walking out.
Tasting food with him would be a bit challenging. He'd probably tell you to get what you think the guests would like, and you'd have to remind him it's both of your weddings.
HE WOULD BE A CRIER. I firmly believe he would cry by the altar as you walk down. Hifumi and Doppo beside him would also tear up and pat our beloved doc.
His vows will be very thought of, he's not like those guys you see in tiktok that just says crazy stuff, he would make youCRY from how much his vows come from the heart. (LET ME KNOW IN THE ASK BOX IF ANYONE WANTS A FIC OF THIS?? OMG?)
At the reception, you will have to genuinely hold him back from having any kind of alcohol please, make sure no one switches his drinks đ
After the wedding, you two just sit on the couch of your shared home, talking about the whole day, then you decide to get out of your formal wear. He helps you take off your dress. He obviously admires you more before he does, complimenting you the whole time.
I hope I did this in character for Jakurai... I enjoyed doing this! đâ¨ď¸
May I see Jyushi and y/n showing each other's plushies? đĽşđ§¸
Absolutely! What a cute request. I hope I have fulfilled it to your liking~
Jyushi Aimono x Reader

Synopsis: showing each other's plushies during Jyushiâs regular crying session.
Jyushi was crying again and of course it was Kuko's fault. Hitoya had to call you to comfort him because he had been crying for the past hour and wouldnât stop.
"What did you say now?" you asked the red head.
"Nothing serious!" he replied. "Argh! I just told him I'd make bacon out of his pig and he started crying!"
"...Pig?"
"...Yeah? The stupid stuffed toy he carries around him?â
The two of you stared at each other.
"You've never seen Amanda before?" Kuko asked you, even more confused than you were. "I was so sure that he'd show you out of all people... ugh, whatever."
He stormed out of the building, leaving you on your own. You sighed and continued on your way to where Hitoya and Jyushi were.
â(Y/N), sorry, but could you comfort Jyushi for me? Itâs already been an hour, and I feel like you could do better to console him.â
âYeah, sure, no problem,â you said. Nowadays, itâs you who has been consoling Jyushi. When you first met him, you would have never guessed that he was a big crybaby due to the persona he holds up. However, you didnât care. If this was the real him, youâll continue to love him nonetheless.
âThank you, (Y/N). Iâll leave you to it.â
Hitoya left the room as you crouched down. Jyushi was sat on the floor, his eyes spilling with soft tears.
âJyushi~â you soothed, patting his arm in reassurance. âKuko told me what he had said to you. He was joking, you know? He wouldnât cook your pigâŚâ
Jyushi sniffled. He heard this all from Hitoya already, but hearing you say these things caused him to worry less. He had taken a liking to you after all, and your presence alone made him relax a bit.
âBut Iâm not sure what this pig plushie is⌠Kuko said that you carry her around with you everywhere. Was her name Amanda? Iâve never seen you with her.â
Jyushi was quiet for a moment. Then he nodded and said, âMhmm⌠I thought youâd find it weird if I showed her to you⌠hic⌠so Iâd hide her away whenever youâre nearâŚâ
He pulled out Amanda that he hid away in his lap. She was just a normal pig plushie that was decorated with a green ruff around the neck, buttons for eyes, and a black and red jester hat.
âPlease donât make fun of meââ
âAww, sheâs cute!â you squealed. âShe fits your aesthetic so well!â
You gave Amanda a boop on the snout.
Jyushi was surprised by your reaction. âEh?â he uttered.
You continued, âThough, Iâm confused why youâd think Iâd make fun of you, Jyushi. Iâm not Kuko. In fact, I have a plushie of my own that I carry with me in my bag everyday too!â
You fished through your bag, pulling out a little bear plushie. It was brown and fluffy, wearing a little smile on its face, but the most prominent feature of your plushie was its sparkly eyes.
ââHi, Iâm Mr. Sparkle!ââ you said in your teddyâs voice.
Jyushi was astonished. He stopped crying at how shocked he was to find out that you, his crush, also carried a plushie around. He didnât expect you to be the kind to bring one wherever you went too! You were just like him!
âNow the two can be friends!â you chirped. ââHi, Amanda, Iâm Mr. Sparkle.ââ
He was beginning to laugh.
ââHello there, Mr. Sparkle,ââ Jyushi greeted with Amandaâs voice.
You were glad he had stopped crying. You watched him giggle happily as he played along with you and your plushie. His smile warmed your heart. You wanted him to smile like this more often than to see him cry.
As he was about to say something, you made your plushie peck him on the cheek, making a little kiss sound effect with it.
â(Y-Y/N)?!â
âWhat?â
âW-What was that?â
âHmm?â you giggled, pretending to be oblivious. âOh, you mean this?â
You kissed him on the cheek for real this time, causing his face to instantly heat up.
"I like it better when you smile," you said.
"(Y-Y/N)..."
You took his hand in yours, making him stand up. As your fingers intertwined with his, you suggested that the two of you take pictures of your plushies together in the streets of Nagoya.
"Mhmm!" he agreed, a big smile spread across his face. "Let's do it!"

the cute drunk rosho headcanons have inspired me, would you be able to write some headcanons / a fic for a drunk sasara being clingy and overly lovey-dovey towards his s/o? like i can see him being clingy and calling his s/o stupid cutesy pet names when not drunk, but i feel drunk sasara would dial that up to 100 lol! it can include the other members of dh if you want, either works for me!:) ty !!
Sasara the cuddly drunk! â¨
Ahhhh~~~~ Sasara is too playful and needs to constantly emphasize how much she loves you! Of that I am sure! đHe would also drop a lot of cheesy lines because he just isn't ashamed to say them. I totally agree, I feel that this writing does not do it justice and I should write one more
Sasara x Fem reader!
° You were leaving work quite tired, the fact that it was Friday and that you could see your boyfriend earlier than planned would restore your spirits. He had told you that he would go live and you were invited to the studio. So you search your cell phone for the program to see if it had already started.
° You discover that he is not alone, it seems that it was an interview with the entire division, to yourself you think if Rei should be there or not but hey, it didn't matter anymore. The questions flow and even though you try to be on time you think you could only see the end.
° You're already in the studio, you get them to let you in and get behind the scenes. Meanwhile, the boys are participating in a game of questions and answers, whoever loses must have a drink of alcohol. Again you wonder what kind of program they are participating in.
° The one who loses the most is Sasara, just because Rosho was paralyzed a while ago and Rei didn't want to drink something so cheap. You stop counting when she reaches the eighth glass, luckily the presenter decides to end the game and greet the spectators, allowing the participants to say goodbye as well. "Ahhh, I hope my sweet cupcake is seeing me somewhere" he Says when it's his turn.
° at that moment you wave your hand and he sees you, smiling like an idiot he returns the greeting by blowing you a flying kiss, using his other hand to make a heart with his thumb and index finger. Fortunately the program ends there, but not your shame.
° "My beautiful bunny, I'm so happy you're here!" He runs to you catching you in a hug spinning you around with him, giving you a loud and exaggerated kiss. That only means one thing, and that is that he is drunk.
° "Aren't you happy too? Don't you say hello to me? You don't love me anymore? I love you! My little squirrel " He pressed you tighter against him with each question, preventing you from answering "Hello honey, I love you too" but that didn't He reaches for it, he wants you to show it to him, so escaping from his grasp, you hold both sides of his face, depositing a tender kiss on the tip of his nose.
° "Do they have to do all that in public?" Rosho is more flushed than you are, making you aware of the looks people are giving you there, some whispering and looking in your direction. Far from feeling any pressure, Sasara speaks with your hands still on her face "obviously it must be like this, everyone must know how much I love her, she is the queen of my heart" rub her forehead with yours while squeezing your hands keeping them on that place.
° "hey! You're saying some very corny things" despite that, you laugh with him. "Ahh ~~ I can't help it, not when you look at me with those eyes" he is about to kiss your eyes but you stop him with a hand on his lips. "You can't act like that every time you drink!" He complains murmuring something you don't understand and still kisses your hand repeatedly until you take it out of his mouth.
° "No! If my sweet bear talks to me like that I could die..." he dramatizing he throws himself on the ground fanning himself, you're about to say something but he gets up at great speed, staggering a bit. Without telling you anything, he picks you up princess-style, running through the halls of the studio, upon reaching one of the dressing rooms he opens the door and closes it behind him with his feet.
° "Now there's no one⌠can you do what you always do? Come on, don't get mad, sweetheart" he pouts, twisting his head, with you in her arms, he leans against the door, sliding until he sits on the floor. "Won't you give me anything?... Nothing?... Please?" His eyes open slightly questioning you with sincerity and the faint blush that covers his face dazzles you
° That look is your weakness, you can't say no when he's like this. "You're a complicated little devil" placing your hand on the nape of his neck you kiss his jaw and it's just what he wanted. Laughing at having achieved his goal, he gives you a smile from ear to ear. "S/o, tell me something nice" you pretend to think just to make him nervous "you are so whimsical⌠my cute cuddly kitty, you have such a dazzling smile, do you want me to give you a treat?" Giving a little cry he laughs out loud shaking his legs moving you too, of course he wants it.
° Caressing his head with both hands, he ruffles his hair in all directions placing sporadic kisses on his cheeks. He responds to your touch by twisting his head closer to your fingers, craving more of your touch. Interrupting your attentions, he pushes your back into the floor, positioning himself above you on all fours.
° "ahhh~~~ you're my sunshine and I'm a sunflower! I can't live without you" you can't tell him how embarrassing his sentence was because he begins to fill your face with short kisses, fighting against your hands that try to stop him, he makes his way In the same way, making use of his strength, he also places his lips on your hands. Your body contorts under him, his kisses tickle you and surrendering to his affection you embrace him bringing him closer to you.
° He can't take it anymore, squealing as he continues saying ridiculously romantic phrases for you, demanding that you do the same for him. "S/o say I'm a good boy, say I'm your boy" you sigh and roll your eyes before complying with what he asks. "You really are my light, you are the star that guides my life" and he attacks again with his kisses, making sure to make them outrageously loud. Laughter escapes from both of you equally resounding like music in the room.
° he gradually he stops to watch you. Your eyes are closed and your cheeks are flushed from laughing so much. Seeing you like this makes him feel satisfied, moving back a little, he sits between your legs, hugging one of them using it as a pillow.
° "Goodnight, sweetheart" he says, stirring until he is completely comfortable, preparing to really sleep, but he opens his eyes an instant later "you didn't kiss me goodnight" you leave a kiss on the tips of your fingers and bring them closer to his lips, he delightedly receives it, catching your hand to intertwine with his.
° You're tempted to let him rest for a while, but a knock on the door startles you "hey lovebirds, there's a taxi waiting for you downstairs" It's Rei who's speaking and it's only then that you realize that everyone probably heard your embarrassing words and declarations of love . Little or nothing mattered to the scoundrel who slept so peacefully at your feet, but you couldn't get angry with him. You were just as drunk on the love of him.
BONUSES~~~~
° He don't let go of your hand all the way home, resting his head on your shoulder looking for you to continue with your pampering.
° Despite appearing to be in high spirits, he falls asleep instantly upon lying down. In the middle of the night and for no reason, he would wake you up so that you could hear him continue saying corny things "My love for you is so intense that even if you were reincarnated as a flower, I would be able to find you." You are not sure if he is still drunk but he is cloying when he wants to.
could i perhaps maybe request hypmic hcs for ramuda, doppo, jyushi, and gentaro with a s/o who is very anxious and shy but also very exciteable and energetic ?? :D (its totally ok if not, and take your time !! thank u for your wonderful writings<3)
Hypmic shy s/o who gets energetic
Doppo Kannonzaka
I think it mixes pretty well.
He's relatively quiet, and he appreciates that you're more reserved and also having a mutual feeling with him,
and at the same time when you're with him, you somehow can also pull him out of his comfort zone, in a good way!
You're like Hifumi but moderate, and he's super grateful. I mean, Hifumi and Doppo are already the great friend dynamic, but with you, he somehow feels more confident and more open to express himself in a more... calmer way.
In a way he won't overreact. But at the same time, he will admit that he's gotten used to you being excited when going out on dates with him, or just- like- yeah-
JUST BEING WITH HIM DJDHDGJDGJ-
Doppo's not gonna lie, he feels a little more confident in himself knowing you're excited and happy about going out with him and spending time with him.
Also he finds you just so endearing like- <333
Ramuda Amemura
Ramuda thinks you being shy but energetic is so cute!!
He loves it when you get shy and flustered when you're surrounded by his endless and open affection all while hugging him too.
But whenever he shares with you that he wants to go on a date with you, or when he made a new outfit for you to try out,
you just go, "Wait really?! Oh my gosh, I can't waittt!!! HGHJDGDGD AHHHHHHH- IM SO HYPE- IM SO HYPE- IM SO HYPPEEEEE-"
Awwwww!!!
He just wants to kiss you, and hug you, and squish your cheeks, cuddle, all that fluffy shit-
You're just so cuteeeee!!!
HOW CAN HE NOT?????
Ramuda laughs, peppering kisses all over your face as you giggle coyly but gleefully as he smiles cutely and genuinely at you.
You're just so adorable! <3
Gentaro Yumeno
Calm man and his shy lover, he finds you and him as a pretty cute trope~
He'll be all soothingly affectionate, smooth (and truthfully genuine although he's sus-) with his loving words as he smiles in amusement, watching attentively with a teasing gaze as you're reduced to a shy, blushing mess.
"D-don't say it while people are watching..." you whispered timidly. That just makes him want to coo you even more, s/o-
But he loves it whenever you get excited when you go out with him or read his new novels.
Just seeing you get bubbly and hyped cracks a smile on his face.
He's glad you enjoy spending time with him, and also looking forward to his written works.
Maybe he should write a new novel that's similar to both of yours relationship just to see you have that sudden epiphany and blush tenfold.
He's gonna be pretty cheeky about that- <3
Jyushi Aimono
He's so thankful-
Oh my god-
You were one of his close friends that continued to stick with him and soon became his lover- oh bless you-
Even if you're shy, you've never failed to make him smile and be genuinely happy.
I mean, at least you share the mutual feeling with him when you both get nervous,
but most importantly-
HE'S SO- SO HAPPY YOU GET EXCITED WHEN YOU WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM OR HEAR HIS SONGS (with the group but- I'm sure he's got his solos-)-
HE'S SO HAPPY- HE CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW OVERJOYED HE IS WHEN HE HEARS YOU BEING ALL HYPED-
CHEERFUL-
AND GENUINELY LIKE DJDJHGDD-
OH MY GODDDDDD-
He will faint from your constant hype and support for him- seriously- <3
Summary :Â Matenrou go to an amusement park and have fun. Mostly.
Words : 2,906
Warnings : vomit mention, doppo typical ramblings + worries, getting a bit overheated , platonic or romantic - whichever you want.
A collab with @wolfm2540 , we switched every paragraph.Â
âHey hey, Doppo, look at that giant roller coaster!! Letâs get on that one first!!â
âIt looks tall⌠what if we fell off⌠knowing me Iâd probably break the ride somehow and weâd all fall and get hurt and it would be my fault like alwaysâŚâŚ. Iâm so uselessâŚ.â
âDoppo-kun, youâre doing it again.â
Matenrou had just pulled into the Adventure Land parking lot. Jakurai parked the car while Doppo continued his self-deprecating ramblings. Hifumi was oblivious, staring at the rides and practically jumping up and down in his seat, which is probably why Jakurai wouldnât let him ride shotgun.
Hifumi was practically bouncing as he waited for the doctor to unlock the car. He tumbled out, standing back up completely unbothered and running over to open Doppoâs door and drag him out, much to the otherâs dismay. Jakurai slowly got out with a chuckle, searching his jean pockets for a hair tie; it was hot, and he didnât want to get sweaty from his hair on his neck. âYou two,â he called to his bickering teammates, who turned their heads so fast you could hear Doppoâs neck crack. âGet the sunscreen, Weâre going to be out here for a while.â
They grabbed their backpacks and walked towards the entrance. Hifumiâs face lit up as he saw the sign. âAdventure Land, letâs go Doppo-chin!â His voice was as vibrant as the cartoonish letters. Doppo was still hunched over, his hands stuffed nervously in his hoodie pockets. Jakurai was somewhat concerned with the otherâs choice of clothing, given that sweater weather was long over. He sighed and smiled as they entered the park. These two never ceased to amuse him.
Hifumi ran right after to the line for a roller coaster that had long since spilled out of its desired area and into the walkways, completely forgetting Jakurai telling them all to get sunscreen. Doppo looked to Jakurai with a mix of worry and pleading - whether it be âCan i go home?â or âcan i go on something elseâ, the doctor was unable to tell. Either way, it was clear the salaryman didnât want to go on the towering road coaster. After looking over to Hifumi, though, clearly their chances of getting out of the ride were 0, as the host was bouncing around with a large grin on his face, not even bothering to check if the others were with him.
âUmmm, senseiâŚâ Doppo looked concerned. âDo you really want to get on this thing?â Jakurai looked down at him and gave a sad smile, then patted his head. âIâve never been on a rollercoaster before, though I'm more nervous than excited. But look at Hifumi. That silly grin of his makes it worth it, donât you think?â Doppo looked at his friend, loud and boisterous as ever, and the concern on his face melted away when he saw how happy Hifumi was. âYeah, youâre right, sensei.â The line moved forward.
Doppo felt himself shaking, though he tried to swallow his fear. It would be fun, or at least it was supposed to be.. But what if the ride broke? Then him and everyone would die and it would be entirely his fault. Doppo made a small noise in his throat and leaned onto hifumi, resting his chin on the hostâs shoulder. Jakurai wasnât having the best time either, he could feel his stomach lurching even though they hadnât even been on the ride yet, and probably wouldnât for another 10 minutes.
The line lurched forth, nothing in the trioâs demeanor changing very much. Finally, it was their turn to get on. Doppo looked ready to faint. Jakurai was trying his best to conceal his nervousness, but was obviously terrified. Hifumi was as oblivious as ever. âHmmm, these seats only take two people. Sensei, do you mind if I ride with Doppo? That way he calms down a bit, hehe! Want him to have fun, too.â Jakuraiâs eyes widened for a moment. âUm, that sounds fine, Hifumi-kun. I will ride alone.â They buckled into the seats. It was time.
Doppo shuddered as the announcer came on the loudspeakers, explaining the rules. Jakurai was frantically trying to tie his hair up into some form of bun so he doesnât wack a poor soul behind him, and hifumi just watched the other rides, planning out where they would go next. Suddenly the ride lurched forward, and started its slow trek towards the top of the hill. Doppo grabbed onto hifumiâs arm, already biting back a screech.
âWhen is it gonna drop⌠when is it gonna drop? Hifumi! Is it gonna drop yet?â Hifumi just laughed. He looked way too excited. Doppo repeated his question (something of a mantra, at this point) as the ride kept climbing. There was one last click as the ride suddenly dropped.
âAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!â
âHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!â
â...â
Doppo was dying. Literally dying. But it was somehow enjoyable? His stomach felt like it was dropping onto his feet, the wind was forcing his eyes shut, and his neck was whipping around violently. But it made him feel alive. Maybe thatâs why Hifumi enjoys these rides so much...
Hifumi couldnât keep himself from laughing. The thrill was a high he could never get tired of, flinging his hands in the air with an excited scream as the cart rushed down another hill, then a loop, bringing them upside down then right side up right after. Jakurai felt sick to his stomach, but he supposed that was intended to be part of the fun. Feeling adrenaline pulsing through his veins as everything moved far too fast, even he couldn't help from giving a laugh or startled noise.
Hifumi kept laughing. It was kind of scary, actually, given that nobody else on the ride was laughing like that. Oh well, heâs always been eccentric. The ride continued, more ups and downs and flips, until it finally reached the end. Jakurai had a headache. It wasnât as bad as he expected but somehow still very unpleasant. Though he did feel a bit of the thrill that Hifumi must have been looking forward to. âHa...haha. That was sort of fun.â Doppoâs hair was a mess of red and curls, thanks to the wind. There was a slight smile painting his face. Hifumi was somehow still laughing as they got off the ride and back onto the ground.
âHey, doc! You can pick the next ride!â the older man almost sighed with relief, knowing if Hifumi had his pick they would certainly end up on something his stomach couldnât handle. He hummed, eyes scanning all of the rides. âWhat about that one?â he points to a building with bright and cheerful letters spelling out âBUMPER CARSâ . Hifumi jumped up to get a clearer view, then nodded eagerly. âIt looks fun!!!! Câmon, Doppo-chin!â Hifumi grabbed his roommate by the sleeve and started to drag him, with Jakurai in tow. On arrival, they noticed the line was incredibly long here as well, mostly consisting of children, save for some teenagers and adults holding the hands of young ones. âAh.. have I picked a childâs ride?â Hifumi giggled, âyea, yeah, it's meant for children, but what does it matter!! It'll be tons of fun.â âThe cars are too small.. Weâre gonna get stuck.â Doppo pointed out grimly. âNonsense!!!â Even with how loud the amusement park was, Hifumiâs loud voice turned some heads, but he didnât mind at all.
Doppo was intimidated by all the children staring. Jakuraiâs long hair and Hifumiâs personality didnât help keep them out of the center of attention. He grabbed onto Hifumiâs shirt as they shuffled into the building. The ride operator simply stared at them. Jakurai tilted his head and asked âIs there a problem?â The poor teenager looked scared. These three eccentric individuals trying to enter his kiddy ride were scary. He shook his head vigorously and led them to the cars. âHahaha, Iâll take this pink one! Which are you choosing Doppo-chin?â âUhhhhâŚâ âChoose the green one!â âOkayâŚâ Jakurai was, perhaps, a bit embarrassed, but he was the one who chose the ride after all. He sighed and hopped into the most inconspicuous car, the grey one.
The small cars were beyond uncomfortable for somebody of his size, even hugging his knees to his chest didnât keep the contraption from digging into him rather painfully, and people had taken to staring at him. The other two didnât seem to mind, talking about something while they waited for the ride to begin. It did, and soon there were people blending together, laughing and screeching as they maneuvered the battle grounds. Jakurai recognized the laughter of Hifumi as his golden hair popped up above the other heads, heading straight for Jakurai, who sat unmoving, unable to reach the steering wheel due to his legs blocking the way. Hifumi hollered triumphantly as he hit the car, then yelped as Doppo rammed into him, looking determined. This continued until the ride ended, and the two younger remembers quickly left their cars and ran over to help their leader get out, which was a bit of a struggle.
Jakurai felt the childrenâs eyes burning into his back as they walked away. No wonder Doppo seemed so freaked out in line⌠Now that his stomach had settled down, the doc realized he was hungry. His teammates probably were, too. âDoppo-kun, Hifumi-kun, shall we get something to eat?â âYeah, Iâm soooo hungry, sensei! Where do you wanna eat, Doppo?â Doppo jumped back. âYou- youâre asking me!? But what if I pick somewhere with lazy workers and they donât make the food right⌠then weâll get food poisoning⌠and weâll be too sick to ride anything else⌠and itâll be my faultâŚ..â He kept rambling, as usual. Jakurai sighed, grabbed Doppoâs shoulders, and shook him violently back into normality. âAh, thanks sensei.â Jakurai chuckled. âSo, anywhere in particular you want to eat?â âNo⌠not really. Letâs just let Hifumi choose.â Doppo didnât realize the implications of his words until they had already left his mouth. Hifumi was surely going to choose someplace ridiculousâŚ
âYay, yay!! Thought yaâd never say so, Doppo-chin!â Hifumi scouted the booths, trying to find something with a menu theyâd all like. He had intended to make their lunches, but Jakurai had said it might be more fun to try the food there. Finally, he settled on a barbecue, set under a blue canopy, with a somewhat large amount of people chatting while they enjoyed their food. The group walked over to the tent, peering at the menu. Jakurai quickly decided on a steak, but Hifumi couldnât figure out if he wanted the chicken or salmon, and Doppo couldnât figure it out at all, not to mention that the heat was causing his appetite to shrink, so he just decided t mooch of some of what hifumi got.
Hifumi practically skipped towards an open seat, Doppo and Jakurai following behind. It was getting hot. Perhaps steak wasnât the most refreshing option. The Doc let his thoughts wander as he watched his teammates bicker over trivial things. Times like these were nice, relaxing and getting to have fun together. He hoped they could have this opportunity again soon. Doppo and Hifumi stopped their catfight when the waiter came by with the food. âHahaha, this salmon is gonna be so delicious! Here Doppo-chin, have a bite!â âWait-â Doppo was cut off as Hifumi shoved the fish in his mouth. âIs it good? Do you like it!!?â âBLEH! Hifumiiii, donât do that without asking!!â Jakurai let out a loud laugh, and the other two stopped to look at him. After a pause, they laughed, too. Matenrou was having a good time, indeed.
Jakurai stood, smiling. âWell, shall we all return home? Weâve gone through all of the rides.â Hifumi shook his head, âI wanna try out some games!! Can we?âJakurai gave a fond sigh; itâs not like they had anything else to do tonight. Hifumi took that as a yes, grabbing both of their sleeves and dragging them over to a game where you had to get rings on the neck of glass soda bottles. There were large stuffed animals hanging above the bottles, fluffy with cute faces. Hifumi got a large bucket of the rings to split, and Doppo winced at the obnoxious price.
âHere we go, Doppo-chin! Huzzah!â The ring clattered around the bottle necks before hitting the ground, leaving a pouting Hifumi and unamused Doppo with one less ring. âUm, my turn, I guessâŚâ Doppo tossed the ring halfheartedly, not doing much better than Hifumi. They needed 5 to win. There were only 8 left. âAwwww, Doppo-chin, we both missed! Thatâs, like, so unfair!â Doppo tsked at him. âStop being so loudâŚâ HIfumi was ignoring him already, mind focused on the next toss. âAlley-oop!!â He emphasized the last syllable as the ring left his hand, soaring through the air before dramatically landing on a bottle neck. âHaha! Hahahaha!! Did you see, Doppo-chin? I landed the ring, didâya see, didâya see?!â
Doppo was being shaken back and forth by a grinning Hifumi, his hands gripping his sweater sleeves. âYes, I saw, I saw! Now please stopâŚâ Jakurai picked up a ring, holding it between his slender fingers and examining it. This couldnât be harder than killing people, he thought while giving it a toss. It failed, falling quietly. Jakurai looked at it with a blank expression for a few moments, then stepped back to let the younger two take control. Somehow, between the two of them, they managed to get the needed amount, and Hifumi picked out a large polar bear, hoisting it over his shoulder with a laugh. "Let's each do our own, then meet back up here!" Neither Doppo nor Jakurai wanted to upset him, though they both just wanted to return home, but then Jakurai saw an octopus that reminded him of Hifumi, so he went to get it, and Doppo wandered off the other way, just looking for one that seemed easy.
Doppo sighed, not wanting to be left alone. He shook his head and kept walking before he found what seemed like an easy win. The sign read âGuessing Game!â; the attendant had to guess your age within 2 years, weight within 10 lbs, and birth month within 3 months. If they were wrong you won a prize. The only difficult part would be talking to the attendant⌠while Doppo braced himself to approach the game, Jakurai was trying his hardest to win the little octopus plush. It was invertible, two wildly different expressions on each side. Just like Hifumi with and without his jacket. This one seemed a bit easier than the bottles, a simple game of basketball. Jakurai was tall. Basketball should be easy enough.
It took 10 tries. 5,000 yen, all to get the stupid yellow octopus. Jakurai almost felt ashamed of himself as he walked to find the others. It didnât take long, Doppo was at a guessing game, failing rather horribly. Hifumi was on what must have been his 5th, judging from the various prizes littering the ground next to him. He was trying to get a goldfish currently, playing a game similar to the one they had all done together. Jakurai was silently hoping he didnât get a goldfish, since they seemed rather annoying to take care of and usually died quickly. Luckily, he failed, the last ring falling to the ground. Hifumiâs pout was visible even with his back turned, shoulders drooping.
Jakurai decided to intervene before Hifumi wasted all his money (and their time). âCome, Hifumi-kun, letâs find Doppo.â Hifumi gave an enthusiastic nod as he scrambled to pick up the various prizes. Jakurai raised an eyebrow and helped him carry a few. The two walked off, a purple-haired doctor with a polar bear on his back and a blonde host with various little creatures in his arms, to find Doppo. It didnât take long to find the salaryman, his anxious aura almost visible in the air around him. He had lost the guessing game. Apparently he was too easy to read⌠he hung his head and sighed, turning to go find Hifumi and Doc. He walked a bit before looking up; there were his two friends approaching him, quite the site with all their spoils of war.
âAhhh.. seems youâve had a lot more luck than meâ Doppo mused, looking them all up and down. âYep! and this stuff is heavy.. let's go home!!â there was a unanimous agreement, all of them tired and done with what they wanted. They got comfortable, tossing the prizes in the trunk, and settled in for the ride. It felt longer than the way there, though perhaps it was due to the fact that they had eaten, so more bathroom breaks were inevitable. The moon was out and glowing when they arrived home at their shared apartment. Hifumi ran and flopped onto his bed, yelling at the others to follow. âIâve got to wake up early and leave.. I donËt want to wake you two in the processâ Jakurai hesitated, standing awkwardly in the room while the other two changed into nightclothes. âCâmon, doc! Itâs no trouble, weâll fall right back to sleep after anyways. âyeah..â So Jakurai sighed and joined them, and they all fell asleep in minutes, tired from the dayâs adventure, but also excited to do it again one day.
