How their division teammates are effected by your breakup - headcanons
Ichiro, Sasara, Jyushi
Ichiro
Jiro and Saburo still ask of you. He hasn’t told them that you’re never going to go to one of Jiro’s football games again. He doesn’t have the heart to tell Saburo there’s never going to be another chess rematch between you two.
Seeing the effect your presence had on his brothers is almost too overwhelming to bear. He feels guilty not telling them of your break up, but he knows he’d feel even guiltier if they knew it was his fault they’d never see you again.
When the two call out to you in the streets, excitedly yelling your name as Ichiro internally cries in the background- you look away. Seeing the excitement in their eyes die out and hurt settle in at the realization is one of the worst things Ichiro’s ever seen.
Sasara
Rosho looks at him and guilt from years past resurfaces. Sasara’s reaction is all too similar to one of years past. Denial of pain, overcompensating with humor, and binging of harmful habits. Rosho can’t help but feel helpless. He can’t even be mad at you, after all he did the same to Sasara once before.
Rei sees Sasara and feels partial guilt for playing into his bad habits. He doesn’t know how to comfort him other than offering to pay for drinks or a meal- so they go out more than they already did.
When he’s drunk, Sasara spills it all. The hurt, the pain, the old happy memories. Rei and Rosho wonder if there’s hope for you two to rekindle your love, all so they can see their friend smile once more.
Jyushi
Hitoya is the one that immediately notices his change of behavior. No matter how much effort he puts into his Chuuni persona, the underlying message of his words is clear.
He tries his best to cheer him up, just like he did before. He tells Jyushi stories of his own romance troubles but it only seems to remind him of old memories. He takes Jyushi out to places, but again it just reminds him of things he used to do with you.
Kuko wants to confront you for breaking his friends heart- Hitoya having to physically hold him back from stomping to your house and challenging you to a rap battle. Both of them just hate seeing Jyushi this way, and want to do everything they can to help him feel just a bit better.
Bonus
Dice notices that Gentaro doesn’t tease him as much ever since you broke up with him. Maybe it’s a win that he’s not being exploited just to get some cash- but it’s odd seeing the eccentric writer solemn and distant. Ever since you left, it seemed like Gentaro forgot how to have fun with life.
Samatoki’s stubbornness is the biggest source of pain for Jyuto. Samatoki grumbles whenever he sees something that even reminds him of you- which unfortunately is a lot of things. Which were once associated with fluff and happiness- now linked with bitterness of a love lost. It makes Jyuto’s job much, much more difficult, much to his annoyance.
Ichiro makes a small comment about Jiro not staying out as late anymore. Saburo follows it up saying that he noticed Jiro stopped making such large lunches for school. It makes Jiro stop eating, pausing as he thinks of an excuse. Of course, his brothers didn’t know of his secret romance. And they didn’t know of your secret break up either.

“Here you are ma’am. Thank you for stopping by! You picked some lovely flowers.” Jyushi smiled brightly at the old woman as he handed her her bouquet of flowers.
She smiled back at him. “Such a nice boy! Thank you for helping me!”
His smile never faltered as she left the flower shop and he gave a self-satisfied sigh when she was gone. As he started to wipe down the counter, his coworker slid up next to him.
“You’re such a nice boy, Jyushi!” Kuko cooed, pinching his cheek.
Jyushi pouted. “Kuko! Stop being so mean to me!”
“Leave him alone, Kuko.” Hitoya, their manager, yelled from the back room.
Kuko rolled his eyes. “You people are no fun.” Setting himself down on the stool behind the counter, he asked, “So, do you have today’s flowers all picked out and ready?”
Jyushi felt his cheeks burn hot at the mention of the special flowers he set aside once a week for a very special customer. Almost a year ago, you started coming into the flower shop with a giant encyclopedia. After a couple of weeks of trying to talk to you but being too shy, Jyushi managed to learn that you were studying botany, specifically flowers, and were taking notes on the different flowers the store had. So he took it upon himself to help you out. Every week since then, when you came in with your notes and dazzling smile, he would hand you a flower and spew out facts about it from the research he did during the week before your visit. It soon became his favorite part of the day, not that he would ever tell you that.
Nodding, he pointed to a wrapped bundle of white flowers. “Yep. I have magnolias already prepared for today.”
“Magnolias, huh?” Jyushi nearly jumped out of his skin, seeing you at the counter, your smile almost blinding him.
He nodded again, a bit more bashful, causing Kuko to snicker before leaving the two of you alone to talk. “Yeah. Magnolias. Did you know that the flowers bloom before the leaves appear on the plant?”
Your eyes widened and you quickly jotted the fact down. “I do now! Seriously, Jyushi, what would I do without you? With your help, I’ll be able to become a professional botanist and work with flowers everyday for the rest of my life.”
“That would be wonderful.” He couldn’t help but smile. You always get so passionate and excited about your future. Your optimism always wore off on him, not that he minded in the slightest.
Taking one of the flowers from the small bouquet, you held out your hand. “May I borrow the scissors, please?”
After Jyushi handed them to you, you cut the stem shorter and tucked the flower behind your ear. Little did you know, but the cheeks of the boy in front of you exploded in pink. Did you even know how cute you look right now? You looked like some floral goddess. His heart skipped a beat.
“You look so pretty.”
Both of you were speechless, but Jyushi was panicking. He didn’t really say that out loud now, did he? Please tell him he didn’t just embarrass himself in front of you! He would never be able to live this one down! His life was effectively over.
However, you laughed. It was a pretty sound that seemed to make the sun shine brighter and the flowers around you both began to glow. “Aw, thank you! You’re pretty handsome if I do say so myself.”
Again, his cheeks darkened. “Oh, ah, thank you.”
Jyushi’s heart jumped into his throat when you gently took his hand in yours. He looked at you confused, shocked, and desperate, while you just grinned softly. It was then he thought, perhaps your heart was beating just as fast as his at this exact moment.
May I see Jyushi and y/n showing each other's plushies? 🥺🧸
Absolutely! What a cute request. I hope I have fulfilled it to your liking~

Synopsis: showing each other's plushies during Jyushi’s 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 wouldn’t 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?”
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.
“(Y/N), sorry, but could you comfort Jyushi for me? It’s already been an hour, and I feel like you could do better to console him.”
“Yeah, sure, no problem,” you said. Nowadays, it’s 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 didn’t care. If this was the real him, you’ll continue to love him nonetheless.
“Thank you, (Y/N). I’ll leave you to it.”
Hitoya left the room as you crouched down. Jyushi was sat on the floor, his eyes spilling with soft tears.
“Jyushi~” you soothed, patting his arm in reassurance. “Kuko told me what he had said to you. He was joking, you know? He wouldn’t cook your pig…”
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.
“But I’m not sure what this pig plushie is… Kuko said that you carry her around with you everywhere. Was her name Amanda? I’ve never seen you with her.”
Jyushi was quiet for a moment. Then he nodded and said, “Mhmm… I thought you’d find it weird if I showed her to you… hic… so I’d hide her away whenever you’re near…”
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.
“Please don’t make fun of me—”
“Aww, she’s cute!” you squealed. “She fits your aesthetic so well!”
You gave Amanda a boop on the snout.
Jyushi was surprised by your reaction. “Eh?” he uttered.
You continued, “Though, I’m confused why you’d think I’d make fun of you, Jyushi. I’m not Kuko. In fact, I have a plushie of my own that I carry with me in my bag everyday too!”
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.
“‘Hi, I’m Mr. Sparkle!’” you said in your teddy’s 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 didn’t expect you to be the kind to bring one wherever you went too! You were just like him!
“Now the two can be friends!” you chirped. “‘Hi, Amanda, I’m Mr. Sparkle.’”
He was beginning to laugh.
“‘Hello there, Mr. Sparkle,’” Jyushi greeted with Amanda’s 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.
“(Y-Y/N)?!”
“What?”
“W-What was that?”
“Hmm?” you giggled, pretending to be oblivious. “Oh, you mean this?”
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!"

im gonna hold myself back and only request 2 things,,,but like actually getting caught with a fem s/o during sex by their teams with jyushi, sasara, and gentaro ueueueue -rei boobie anon
Jyushi, Sasara and Gentaro getting caught with a fem! s/o during sex
Today there is a whole parade of NSFW requests in my askbox💀
femreader, teasing, oral (receiving +giving), skull-fucking, rough sex, mention of crempie, semi public sex;;
NSFW UNDER THE CUT
;MINORS DNI;
-Nah because this man would be ashamed for his whole life.
-Such sensitive crybaby, he's really attentive to any small sounds usually, but when he gets into his 'dark' mode AND also gets a little naughty with you at the same time, Jyushi doesn't hear anything. Cause now, lady of the night, he's ready to open the depth of his bosom and show you how easily his sinful dirty demons would make you lose your pure mind.. (That's a direct quote from him.)
-Ok but poor boy will forget all his funky pompous words pretty quick when your games with him get too wild, and there's just emptiness in his head with only one thought about finally cum, cum inside your clenching pussy that makes his legs weak from its tightness.
-And despite the fact that he prefers to do such things in his bedroom, sometimes when you visit him in his dressing room after a concert, he's taking you right here, too excited and full of emotions after a successful performance.
-And oops.. One time Jushi forgot he also invited Kuko to his concert too, or maybe he was ignoring this fact, being sure a vulgar monk would not ever try to get here. But not today, and Kuko is already in the corridor backstage, opening the door just to see how his teammate fuck you almost like a rabbit in heat..
-All of you three freeze for a moment before Kuko swore loudly and slammed the door, trying to forget what he just saw. Never in his life would he have thought this softie can do things like this! Hell, maybe he's tripping?
-You try to catch your breath, slowly realizing what just happened, but the feeling of Jyushi's dick twitching inside you more than usual didn't let you concentrate on anything else.
"Forget about this, my sinful princess… Mm, this tickling situation is just making us.." - he mumbled, really trying to come up with at least something in his mind but ended up whining on your shoulder. - "Just let's continue, s/o, I want to cum so bad.."
-Not really a fan of such things so after he gets in his casual mode would probably cry for the whole day and night, too ashamed to look both in your and Kuko's eyes. Probably would go to his temple just to sincerely apologize and start crying again…
-Yet if you tease your boyfriend a little about this situation, asking if he's closed the door properly this time, he would get aroused more quickly, letting you have control and just being a soft bottom.
-Ahh such a two faced man, actually!!
-Like yeah, always so goofy and everything, it sometimes looks like have zero thoughts in his mind, especially a naughty one. Yet when actually this man loves to get wild and you know this better than everyone else.
-It's actually even hard to say where you're doing this more often - in his house or in his dressing room. Starting with this shit about how your cute smile always cheers him up before the performance and ending with a flirt like: I'm so jealous of your heart right now, because it's pounding inside of you and I'm not…
-So helping your boyfriend to relax with his cock deep in your pussy is one of your favorite things to do. You both quickly get too carried away and absolutely not thinking about where you are and what risk you have.
-And ahh, poor silly Sasara, he absolutely forgot that today after his show DotsuHon will visit him for some important conversation!! Well, but can you really blame him when he pressed his face between your thighs like this, almost torturing you with long and slow thrusts of his tongue..?
-Not even trying to control your voice, you didn't even realize how loud you can be but when your blurry eyes shifted to the opening door, a wild smirk on Rei's face tells you everything.
-Where's Rosho? Well, of course he also was hearing you both so prefer to stay outside, when Rei is just peeking to tease you both and enjoy your shocked faces before closing the door back with a small 'Oopsie.'
-Too ashamed now, you tried to cross your legs and stop your boyfriend, yet he just grasped your hips, speeding up.
"What's wrong? Didn't know how loud you were..?" - Sasara chuckle, tickling your folds with hot breath. When he stops joking and talks with you like that, it always is so.. exciting.. - "I fucking hate how this old fart look at your sometimes.. So let him know you're only mine.."
-Ok but Rei would probably tease him about this, telling that he thought his teammate's favorite drink is a cream soda, not your pussy. And despite Sasara acting all flustered and giggling awkwardly, he does feel some pride arising in his chest. Mm, maybe next time you two should be caught up when you do something more interesting..?
-He doesn't want to make you uncomfortable, but if you would let everyone (well or at least Rei) see your cumming face, when you only can call your boyfriend's name and sob uncontrollably, then it would be just great..
-Well, Dice already caught Ramuda once with his onesan, so it's now Gentaro's turn, huh?
-Despite your boyfriend always acting all mysterious and incomprehensible, like he's the only one who notices all the details and can fool people around him, sometimes even he can get too carried away.
-Losing all his attention to the real world as your body is the only thing he sees now, as he just keeps groaning how good it feels to be inside you, while pounding you into the wall with a fast thrust.
-So for the first time it was just an accident, when Dice almost broke into his teammate's house, screaming about winning a small amount of money from bets and casinos. Oh, how bad that exactly at this moment you were on your knees in front of your boyfriend with his cock deep in your mouth as he was almost skull-fucking you.
-Okay, this time Dice got everything much quicker than in the same situation with Ramuda, stormed out back on his street with even more red face than you both have.
-Will Gentaro stop? No, he still wants to cum, and the way the hot walls of your throat clench around him just makes him tease you about this situation a little.
"Mm, I'm glad you didn't even try to pull away when you noticed him.." - your boyfriend coo, patting your head in some pitiful manner, and you clearly can hear mockery in his tone. - "You didn't mind showing him how good you can make me feel, do you?"
-But why did I say 'for the first time'..? Cause there surely would be another accident like this, but now Gentaro would leave the door of his bedroom open on purpose, playing with you knowing damn well his teammates would be here soon. It's like a new game for him - if he was capable of seducing you till the time they would be here? In which exact pose they would have caught you both?
-After you get caught for the first time, he suddenly feels some new kind of amusement in his chest, and wants to experience it again. To see your surprised face again, as you cling to him closer in a weak attempt to cover your body. Oh, just how delightful this sense of power you give him in such moments.. Gentaro probably can get a little bit addicted.
-Of course would try to tease you in Ramuda's workplace too, stroking your thighs more firmly than usual or place quick playful kisses on your neck when these two didn't see it. Well, he can't just start fucking you right here, but at least your boyfriend will make sure to bring you to the point where you would try to drag him back home for some private time.
-Or maybe he would even be capable of pushing you to try something new and get a little naughty in the darkness of a dead-end alley..?
a/n: based on the merch lol. i did see a lot of fanart of the characters wearing them, so i got a bit inspired~
kuko
he most definitely just cackles, so loud, when he catches you wearing the hairclips with his face on it. oh man, this was too amusing. you actually bought that? and kuko is still too loud in his laughs when you pout and try to defend yourself. they were cute! or maybe a bit creepy.. either way, you just had to get them! his cackles, even when he’s teasing you, bring about butterflies.
but kuko is also a bit cocky. just the tiniest bit. there’s a shit-eating grin that tugs on his feline lips, a pretty shine to his fangs. so you like him that much, eh? wanting to show your support for your boyfriend. well, that’s pretty cute of you. and they did look cute on you! even if he does end up teasing you about it (it’s all in good fun). but hey, they suit you~
jyushi
aw, he gets a little flushed when jyushi catches you wearing his hairclips. there’s a cute ‘eH’ that leaves his lips and a stunned look to him, a pretty warm flush to his cheeks as well. but he’s also mega thrilled, all the more. the mere thought that you love jyushi so much and want to show your support for him moves his tender heart; it’s enough to bring tears to his eyes! (and maybe he does get a bit teary-eyed, being the softie he is).
you look so cute! jyushi would squeal. the way they clip your hair to the side, and he can see your forehead! adorable; even amanda thinks so! there’s definitely a bit of a glimmer in his eyes as jyushi admires you in his hairclips. his heart skips a beat, and he feels all the butterflies. aw, you wanted to wear hairclips of him (even if he whines a bit about how they didn’t make him look good).. they totally should make hairclips of you so jyushi can wear them around too, he thinks. he wants to match you~
hitoya
well, he’s in total disbelief the moment hitoya catches you in hairclips of him. he’s.. staring, that’s for sure. god, you actually bought that? he asks, a bit of an exasperated sigh to him. though i suppose that was more of a rhetorical question than anything. they’re a little hideous and perhaps even on the creepy side (the second thought that goes through his mind is if this can be considered libel against his image lol).
and hitoya doesn’t quite get it when you try to defend yourself and say that it’s cute. cute? he takes another look at them. yeahh.. he doesn’t get that. but, as long as you’re happy, hitoya thinks. and well, maybe he doesn’t quite like to admit, but it definitely moves hitoya a little to know that you love him and simply wanted to show your support. even if it was in the form of ugly hairclips. they even look a little.. cute on you, the way they expose your forehead and clip your hair to the side. not the design though.
Warnings: none, just a little bit of tears but a lot of love.
° "What's wrong?..." you ask, looking at him with great concern. It had been circling you ever since you sat down at the desk. Giving you intense looks but saying nothing, playing with the sleeves of his clothes.
° "Did someone say something bad to you again?" He didn't answer either, he just stood there hunched over looking at the floor. "Whether it was Kuko or Hitoya, you know they always do but they love you just like I do" he shakes his head silently, leaning a little closer, raises his hands near his chest and keeps them there.
° "Who was it then? ... A bandmate?" He shakes his head again and you run out of options. He continues without answering, with slight spasms similar to holding back a cry.
° Pulling back a little, you open your arms and invite him to sit on your legs, patting your thighs. He practically throws himself on top of you, hugging you tightly, he bends over as much as he can in your lap because he wants you to hold him completely, he needs that containment.
° Hiding his head in the crook of your neck you can hear how he controls his breathing, caressing his hair with one hand and with the other on his waist you think it could be "something happened to Amanda? " You whisper against his ear resting your head on his head "No.."
° "So you just want cuddles?" That's when he breaks down and can't hold back his crying, you feel her tears wetting your clothes, while her chest rises and falls uncontrollably "oh no, no honey don't you have to tell me yes? But don't cry" you pull her face out of hiding and you hold it with both hands on either side of his cheeks. Clearing your eyes of his bangs you stare at him waiting for him to stop, but he doesn't.
° You wipe the tears with your thumbs "My fair knight must stop yes?" You bump your forehead against his "Mmm" he says, closing his eyes and forcing himself to stop crying. "It's… it's that… some children in the street called me a crybaby!" His chest heaves again and he sobs. "I…I'm not…am…" he can't finish his sentence because because of keeping crying he now hiccups.
° "Of course you're not a crybaby! You're just sensitive my love" Your answer doesn't convince him but he stops a bit and you kiss his eyelids. After that he himself wipes his tears. Caressing his legs and holding them at the same time so he doesn't fall.
° "ready?" Although he stopped crying, he still has that sad face that under your gaze begins to blush quickly. "Now if you want pampering!" You laugh at how obvious it is but he cuts you off by kissing you and grabbing your shoulders to keep you still. You allow him to kiss you until he's done.
° As they separate, he looks at your face smiling at you "mmm... now..." instead of speaking, he points to your lips and his. Asking that you be the one to kiss him and you don't make him wait.
° This cuddle session lasted a few more moments, your legs were starting to get tired from holding him, but you just couldn't stop, not when he had that sad and needy attitude at the same time.
My God, I've been thinking for a while, in a scenario, where the Reader is a single mother, and her son is Jyushi. The scenario events you can choose :) if you could make him at an age it would be cool (I think Jyushi is a cute baby) 😇

A/N: This one was so cute! I wrote it so that the reader is a single parent and Jyushi is their 4 year old kid just going to school for the first time! I hope this is okay since I know you said baby but I wasn't sure how to write a scenario for a baby haha but I hope you enjoy~
⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙
“Hey buddy, how was your first day of pre-school?” you asked, reaching out to ruffle the hair of your four-year-old son. Jyushi shyly smiled up at you and nodded as he slowly walked to your side.
“It was okay,” he said in a half-whisper. You reached down to hold your hand out and Jyushi took it, using his free hand to grab tightly onto his backpack strap.
“Yea? What did you guys do?” you asked, waving goodbye to his teacher and mouthing a ‘thank you’. She smiled and waved back at you, reassuring you that all went well that day.
You had been nervous to drop Jyushi off for his first day of school. Since there was nobody else around to help you take care of him, it really had just been the two of you together. You couldn’t remember the last time the two of you were separated aside from a few hours of day care, and although it was nice to be able to schedule work again to do a full-time job, you had been worrying about leaving him at school.
Despite your fears though, it seemed to have worked out alright. Jyushi had been crying when you dropped him off, but he seemed okay now so something must have gone right.
“We did some coloring…and puzzles,” Jyushi mused, as if he were deep in thought. You nodded down at him and hummed along.
That morning, you had dressed Jyushi in his favorite blue shirt and a nice pair of jeans. Now, those clothes looked worn out, and you could tell they were a bit dirty, most likely from when the kids were running around during recess. He patted his clothes down in place and you smiled at his tendency to make sure he was still put together.
“Well that sounds like a lot of fun!” you exclaimed, stopping at the crosswalk. You looked down at your son to find him staring up at you with big blue eyes. “Did you make any new friends?” you asked, your voice softening a bit. There was something in his gaze that looked almost sad and it hurt your heart to think about him being in any amount of pain.
“No…not really,” Jyushi responded with a small sniffle. You pulled out a tissue that you had stuffed in your jacket pocked for this exact reason and squatted down so that you were just a bit taller than eye level with your son.
“It’s okay, baby. I’m sure you’ll make new friends as the year goes on, okay? This was just the first day,” you reassured him, wiping away at his eyes and nose before pressing a kiss onto his forehead. He looked like he could burst into tears at any moment, and although the crosswalk was green, you took another moment with him.
“Okay,” he sadly said, turning away from you. You held back the urge to throw your arms around him, wanting to wrap your arms around him protectively and never let go. It was so difficult to send him out into a world of hurt and pain, knowing that you could keep him with you at home and not have to worry about any of that.
But you didn’t want that for Jyushi either.
You wanted him to grow and learn, to make friends and go through the ups and downs of being a kid and eventually being a teenager. You knew that it was going to be difficult but you hadn’t exactly known just how tough it was going to be until now. So you pressed another kiss to his cheek and took a deep breath.
“Jyushi,” you said, making him turn towards you. “I promise you that by the end of the week you’ll have a new friend,” you declared. His eyes widened a bit in excitement, and you couldn’t stop the smile from growing on your lips.
“Really? I’ll have a new friend?” he asked, hopeful and with innocent, child-like wonder. You nodded to him and reassured him that he would, watching as his mouth twitched slightly. “What if no one wants to be my friend?” he asked, his eyes dropping a bit. It was amazing how expressive he could be for such a young kid.
“You will. I’ll make you a friend myself if I have to,” you said with determination. Your sewing skills were a bit lackluster, but if Jyushi hadn’t made a friend by the end of the week, you were sure you could stitch him something small and cute to be his new friend. Maybe a stuffed bear or a stuffed dog.
Or perhaps a stuffed pig.
“Pinky promise?” Jyushi asked, very seriously as he held out his tiny pinky to you. You had to stop from awing in cuteness at the small size of his hands as you nodded and held out your own, much larger pinky and wrapped it around his.
“Pinky promise,” you told him, shaking on it. After your pinky promise, Jyushi seemed to perk up quite a bit and excitedly walked the rest of the way home with you.
You were happy that he could be his loud, dramatic self even if it was just with you. There wasn’t a doubt in your mind that he would make friends, if not now then maybe later in life and that they would be true friends that would stand by his side, supporting him and making him feel confident enough to do anything he wanted.
And you were certain that you would be there to support him right alongside them every step of the way.
