Disclaimer: I do listen to the whole song a lyric is from because I'm Like That and I want all the vibes to match
Okay, Hozier (❤️) first-
"Every time I'd burn through the world, I'd see
That the world, it burns through me,"
Shisui wasn't expecting to meet his Soulmate in Kirigakure, let alone when said Soulmate was in the middle of going missing-nin and definitely not when Shisui, fleeing the pack of Hunter-nin chasing him out, was neck deep in S-Rank mission protocol.
Kisame was of the water, deep and unfathomable as the sea and as tremulous as a storm.
Shisui danced like a flame, sharp and hot and mesmerizing, uncatchable and unquenchable and as cheerful as he was wicked.
They were opposites, natures and villages and futures. It was impossible, to pass and never know.
But they stared into each other's depths and-
Shisui's grin stretched wide, savage and gleeful. "Hey, Soulmate. Need a ride?"
Kisame's answering smile was sharp from more than his teeth and his grip, as he grabbed Shisui's offered hand, was unhesitatingly resolved.
(Kisame burned into Shisui's soul, searing warmth that hurt so good as it cauterized his bleeding wounds. It was Kisame that fed the flames in his chest, that urged him onwards, onwards, onwards-
And Shisui, it was into Shisui that Kisame threw the last of himself, and it was Shisui that pulled Kisame's head beneath and it was only to Shisui that Kisame would surrender it all and drown)

Mambo no.5
"A little bit of you makes me your man~"
Comedy/Humour, Shisui/Anko, Anko/Genma, Shisui/Anko/Genma
Shisui and Anko were absolutely not friends. Sure they'd known each other since they were arrogant little shits, they pulled off ridiculous shenanigans at work together, and they were each other's first kiss but- not friends.
Genma was definitely friends with both of them. Shisui was his Squadmate, one of the closest people in his life, and they knew each other inside out. Anko was his drinking buddy, they crashed at each other's places, they swapped poison recipes - fuck 'clan secrets'/traitorous sensei - and they were closer than most people got.
Friends absolutely didn't get plastered every Friday night, didn't bodycheck strangers making a move on one of the others, and they definitely didn't start necking in the middle of the club. Once would've been a mistake, every single Friday for two years? That was pathological.
"You lot are perfect for each other, just never get anyone else involved." - Raidou

I've just realised that maybe Mambo no.5 was connected to this last one but- well, who's gonna stop me now? You'd have to catch me first, I'm like a whippet
ANYWAY ITS TOO LATE
"Clan prodigy in love with his spouse? These tips for cultivating matrimonial and intervillage harmony will shock you!"
If you'd asked anyone before this which Clan they'd have looked to for romantic advice, the Uchiha would've been very low on anyone's radar.
Oh, they were dramatic and ridiculous, everyone knew that, and they also felt things deeply - the yowling cat fights over the smallest things and the nature of their Dojutsu attested to that - but they were also deeply, deeply awkward. They didn't socialise much, if you wished them a 'good morning' then they'd stare at you like you'd flashed them in the middle of the street, and the less said about the academy trench-warfare against their crushes, the better.
And yet-
"Sorry, Takiyo-san! I was too keen for my order!" Bright, addictive laughter rang out over the clamour of the marketplace, before the familiar figure - black curls and an Uchiha fan emblazoned between broad shoulders - jumped from pavement to rooftop.
From that vantage point, it was easy to watch as Shunshin no Shisui pressed a carton of fresh karaage into his husband's hands before pressing in even closer for a kiss.
"It's so romantic," a young woman down the street sighed with her girlfriends. "Imagine being swept off your feet like that, like something from a fairytale! The Sandaime could barely speak at the wedding, he was so happy... and to retire so soon afterwards, it's like he finally trusted our village to younger hands again!"
AKA
Shisui, after a lifetime of dealing with the Uchiha Elders, had no confidence that the Sandaime and Council would be useful in ensuring intervillage peace. Guess he'd better marry the Sarutobi's wayward Heir instead.
Asuma didn't expect for an Uchiha with the cutest dimples to track him down in the Capital and propose marriage. That his smirk, as he explained exactly how Asuma could fuck over his father and the Elders, was annoyingly attractive was just a plus.
Who knew matrimonial and intervillage peace was just an endless game of "fuck you" to the haters and delighting in your partner in crime!

I got carried away but...oh well! Thanks for playing!
