*Takemitchy decides to play matchmaker for Kisaki. He just didn't realize the affect you would have on some of the other Toman members.
*Guys being pervs..
*Slight smut??? Not really but yah?
If Takemichi had ever told himself that he and Kisaki would end up best friends.. Well, past him would think he had gone nuts.
But here he is..
He and Mikey worked so hard to keep everyone safe, alive, and on the right track. Takemichi himself worked so hard to keep Hina alive. And somehow made it possible that someone who once was his enemy now saw him as a brother.
But Takemichi noticed a few things during his hangouts with his best friend. Kisaki's eyes still lingered on Hina. No it wasn't the same as before, that crazed possessive Kisaki was dead and gone. (Though his smart mouth still survived)
This was different..
Now that he thinks of it, he only catches Kisaki staring when he and Hina are showing public displays of affection. His gaze would soften and linger until the light in them dimmed. His face would slightly drop as he looked away and tried to find something to distract himself.
Kisaki was longing for a relationship.. He was the only one who didn't have that special someone to call his own.
Everyone in Toman has or had started dating. Even Mikey's had a girlfriend or two. Draken and Emma were dating. Kazutora casually goes out with girls. Even Baji and Chifuyu go on double dates with different girlfriends here and there. (Sadly they can't keep one. But they can't really be sad when the next girl is usually prettier than the one before.) Pah was in a committed relationship, Peh was also... Smiley and Angery were dating purple and pink headed twins. Sanzu had 2 girlfriends... and one boyfriend.
Yeah that one confuses him too...
---------------
"What's your type Kisaki?"
The four eyed smart ass looked up from his phone. Hanma was trying to get under his skin by sending a bunch of those "Forward this to ten people or you'll get hit by a truck." chain messages.
He was already annoyed. "What?"
Takemichi shrugged. "I'm just curious. What do you want in a girlfriend?"
He thought for a minute before shrugging and going back to blocking Shuji. "I don't know. -- I guess I like them sweet and caring. It'll be nice if they can handle my sarcasm and someone who isn't an annoying dumbass."
Takemichi nodded. "Ah. Cool."
Kisaki put his phone back in his pocket. "Anyways. I'm hungry, you?-- I'll buy it."
Shit, you didn't have to tell Takemichi twice. "Let's go--"
But as they started to walk towards the train station to find somewhere to eat. "Kisaki?"
"What?"
Takemichi smiled. "I'm going to find you a wifey."
Kisaki just raised his brow and snorted. "Shut the fuck up. Where do you want to go eat?"
Michi huffed."Geez attitude. Now I want something expensive."
Tetta walked ahead. "Keep talking like that and I won't need a girlfriend. You already sound like one."
".... You wish. Asshat."
Kisaki mocked him. "GeEzZ.."
-----------
Geez indeed...
Takemichi was running out of hope. Well, to be honest. He didn't have much to begin with. He could probably count the girls he knew on one hand. And at least two of them were taken, one being his own girlfriend and the other Draken's.
This was a bust!
The bell to the convenience store door rang as he walked in. There was a meeting in a few minutes but as usual, Takemichi had a hunger that needed to be satisfied.
He had plenty of time.
He grabbed his favorite orange juice. His hand hovered back and forth over the sweet buns that caught his eye. Melon or Chocolate? Melon or Chocolate? Melon or--
"Are you going to take the strawberry one? If not, can I squeeze by to get it?"
That voice-- he swore it sounded familiar-- His eyes landed on a face he thought he'd never see again.
"Y/n!!"
You jumped before you blinked at the guy blocking the entire aisle. "Takemichi?!"
You both didn't hesitate to go in for a hug!
He wasn't sure how you were brought into his and Mikey's journey. You just showed up one day and then you were gone. They met you at a younger age, but by the time you all reached elementary. Your father was transferred to a job in the States.
He missed you for a long time. And once in a while Hina brought you up and got sad all over again--
OH MY GOD! HINA!!!
He pulled away! "When did you--? Why are you here?! Hina! We need to go see Hina!"
You laughed. "My father got a promotion after all these years. They asked if he'd be willing to come back to Tokyo. My mother packed us all up before he got a chance to deny it. She said she felt safer here than where we were. We just moved into our new house this morning."
Takemichi dropped everything and dragged you with him to the meeting. He caught you up with everything that happened. How he and Mikey ran a gang called Toman together. How Hina was also a part of it along with the old crew Akkun, Yamagishi, Takuya, and Makoto.
You were shocked to hear about it but weren't really surprised. Takemichi had always been brave and rowdy. Even if he fought with tears in his eyes. The biggest surprise was when he lead you to a motorcycle and handed you a helmet. That was something you REALLY didn't expect..
When you arrived to a shrine that they supposedly had their meetings at-- Only one foot was able to plant onto the ground before your balance was thrown off.
It's a good thing who ever caught you was able to keep you upright.
"I can't believe it!! Y/n!! I missed you so much!!"
It was Hina... Takemichi may have let her know already. He just couldn't help it-- this was big news!
Hina's yelling then alerted Mikey. He peaked over everyone and saw you when Hina finally pulled away. "No shit.. Is that?"
Draken turned with furrowed brows. He's never been able to meet you before. Kisaki just happened to see all the commotion as well.. He was curious and walked after Mikey. What had Takemichi done now? What stray has he brought to a meeting this time?
Why was Mikey hugging the stray?
Takemichi saw his best friend and smiled. "Kisaki! This is Y/n--"
Takemichi has never seen Tetta like this. It was almost like those cheesy romance movies that Hina and Chifuyu liked so much. All it needed was the lovey dovey music, and pink background with little hearts popping out of Kisaki's head.
The way his mouth hung before you introduced yourself to him. The way his smart ass was stumbling over his own words.
This was great! He was so going to tease him about this later!
Your phone rang--Shit! It was your mother. You were supposed to get yourself something to eat then return home to finish unpacking.
Mikey pouted. "Draken will take you hom--"
Takemichi hit Mikey in his gut. "Kisaki? You mind taking Y/n home? It's getting pretty dark. She shouldn't be alone--"
Kisaki didn't even complain?
Mikey hit Takemichi back twice as hard when the two of you walked away. "What was that for?"
Takemichi was on the ground fighting for his life. "He likes her Mikey! Kisaki actually got nervous around someone!"
Mikey scrunched up his nose. "Ew." He put his hands into his pockets and sighed. "A kids meal says it won't last.."
------------
Oh but it did last...
Takemichi was over the moon when Kisaki causally mentioned that the two of you went on a date. Then another and another.. A kiss at the end of a previous one made it official!
But even after weeks had passed.. Months even.. Kisaki was still quiet? He didn't gossip or mention you around the others. Just him?--
Until one meeting--
"Who the hell is that?"-- Baji's eyes were on a figure walking up to the shrines parking lot. "Did you get a new girl already Tora?"
Tora looked up from his phone. "No? I'm still with Mika-- Why?"
Chifuyu snorted. "Mika? I thought your new girlfriends name was Miva?"
Kazutora looked down at his phone. "Shit! I've been calling her Miko... No wonder I'm blocked right now.."
Takemichi rolled his eyes. Fucking dumbasses...
Baji tilted his head. "She's cute. And coming this way?"
They looked at Mitsuya who shrugged. "Nobody I know.. Maybe a friend of one of the girls?"
Kisaki walked past everyone without a word. He didn't even see them-- His eyes only on you as you walked up to him with a little wave and smile.
(Baji) "Fucking four eyes has a girl?!"
Tora was flabbergasted. "I thought him and Hanma were butt buddies!"
(Chifuyu) "No offense to Kisaki but Ew... why him?"
Everyone froze when you looked over Kisaki's shoulder. Takemichi pinched the skin between his brows. These two didn't know how to fucking whisper for shit!
You gave them all a wave and they all turned dumb. Slowly waving back with out of sync "hey's" and someone actually mumbled "I'm single..."
Takemichi huffed. "Will you horndogs stop?! She's obviously taken!"
------------
They didn't stop...
Kisaki didn't bring you around much. And when you did show up he had you meet him in the parking lot. He dragged you away as soon as the meetings ended, no one could introduce themselves to you... No matter how hard they tried..
But that didn't stop them from talking about you when Kisaki wasn't around. From how cute you looked that day to when they thought they saw you out and about..
Then the subject started changing... How nice your body looked. How they wondered what you sounded like when-- was Kisaki even man enough to take care of you in that way? You must be around for the money he had.. Kisaki came from a well off family.. That must be it! Why else would a babe like you want anything to do with the nerd!
But what they didn't know was, even though Kisaki was an academic genius, he was no saint...
A closet pervert.
Only Takemichi was close enough to see his browser history. Not even Hanma knows what Kisaki was into--
But Takemichi knew he was a gentleman first. He'd never force you to do anything you didn't like. And you were a tough girl, you'd definitely kick Kisaki's ass.
But again.. that didn't stop the guys from trying.
Baji sat back. "I'm telling you. You should have seen the way this girl bended for me."
Pah snorted. "She can bend like Mikey's crazy straws for all I care. How was her throat game?"
Tora shook his head. "No, No.. Did her ass jiggle when you hit it from the back? That's the best part!"
Sanzu hummed. "None of that matters. How did she sound? The way they moan can make or break it."
Hanma nodded. "I've been with girls who sound like dying cats. I walk out with my pants still around my ankles and my dick sad-- fuck that."
Mistuya shook his head. "You're all horrible -" he looked around to make sure none of the girls were around. "Was she a squirter or...?"
Baji shook his head. "No slip and slide..."
Mitsuya waved him off and went back to his phone. He wasn't interested now..
Draken and Takemichi sat back and just listened.. They didn't tell their stories like the others-- Only because they never asked..
But Takemichi could see this was all a ploy. They wanted Kisaki to talk...
He stayed quiet as he sat down on the steps. His eyes glued to his phone as a text message from you came through.
Perfect.
Now was the time to put their plan into motion.
Baji laid his cheek on his palm. A fake ass pout on his stupid face. "Shit. My bad Kisaki-- This kind of talk isn't for little boys."
Takemichi could see him breaking. They've been chipping at the stone wall he built around you since the first day they all laid their eyes on you.
Kisaki shrugged. "I don't care. And I'm not a LiTTlE BoY.. I'm literally 18.."
Hanma smiled, his mocking tone was a full force wrecking ball.. "Aww poor baby. No need to get offended.. There is no shame in being a virgin Tetta. You'll get there one day."
This was how it's been going for the past few months. Takemichi could see Kisaki gritting his teeth--
His phone went off and he let out a sigh of relief. Hopefully you said something to put him into a good mood.
"I'm not a virgin, asshole. So you can all shut up about that shit. It's annoying."
Tora and Baji flew back and started laughing. Pah was holding his stomach trying not to dolphin laugh in Kisaki's face. Sanzu snorted and tried to cover it with a cough that sounded like he actually said "liar"... Even Draken made a slight face of disbelief.
Mikey walked up with a bored look. "Who's a virgin? Kisaki?-- Guys that's enough. Kisaki just isn't ready to get his dick wet yet. It's okay buddy--"
The walls crumbled.
Kisaki slapped Hanma ( who was giggling like a school girl.) on the back of his head.
"All of you shit heads, shut the fuck up. I've only been in a relationship for a couple of months and I bet I already had my dick wet more times then you all have combined."
If Takemichi had pearls he'd be clutching them. Why couldn't he cover his ears when Kisaki started his angered rant.
×××××××××
It was like he was dreaming...
Was it too early to say he was in love? This had to be love or some type of twisted obsession.
The world revolved around you for all Kisaki knew. He thought about you every waking minute. And in his dream? They were only of you.
The way you smile at him, your pretty eyes.. So doe eyed that it hurts.
How soothing your voice is, even when you call him over the phone it makes his heart skip a couple of beats..
How when he's being an ass or accidentally says something sarcastic. You don't cower or get angry with him. You hit him back with something twice as hard-- so much so that it actually inflates his ego a bit.
Your always careful and actually use your brain.
When he's going on about his day, stressful or not, you sit there and listen. You give him good advice that he didn't even think of.. Sometimes you just hug him tight and kiss his face. Usually he'd be annoyed with such close contact but you? He was starting to think you had some type of magical powers or something.
Just you being close to him had him in his feelings. It was something he wasn't use to-- but he liked it..
Then when the small kisses became longer... They became more heated with roaming hands--
He didn't think he'd ever look at a person and think they were too good to be true.
You just being you was already perfect. But when it came time to take the relationship to the next step?
If Kisaki believed in heaven, it would be your body and your sounds.
The way your eyes water when your close. Fat tears rolling down your cheeks as he kissed them away.
How could someones body feel so soft and warm all over?
The way you cry out his name fried every single nerve in his body. How your little whimpers and moans sent electric tingles up his spine.
The way his muscles contracted in pleasure when your nails dug into his skin and he fucked you into the mattress.
A mattress that for sure needed to be thrown out really soon. He really needed to invest in waterproof bedding.
How you would gush for him. His favorite was when you were on top. Letting his tongue fuck your weeping hole as his nose tickled your clit. The way you pulled his hair and grinded your pussy against his face. He didn't care if he could breathe, he didn't care if your thighs felt like they could crack his skull when you came. This was a good way to die..
Did he mention that he liked you on top? He'll say it again.. "She's so fucking angelic."
He means it.
Your skin glittering with sweat. The way your hips roll and bounce has him curse under his breath. The way his mouth waters when your tits are bouncing right in front of his face.
And the toys...
That was something that had Kazutora almost falling out of his seat. Baji actually fell and took Mitsuya down with him..
He wasn't one for toys.. not really.. Anything done to give your body pleasure should be done by him-- Buuut. He'll admit... The way you fuck yourself with the (ur fav color) dildo the two of you picked out together has him wishing you'd let him touch you.
He wasn't ashamed to tell them you had him whimpering for you. On his knees between your legs, his own nails digging into thighs as you squirted all over his bed and himself. He wasn't embarrassed to tell them his eyes watered as he pleaded to you just to let him have a taste, just to feel you-- "please, please, please, I'll be good-- I promise!"
He was proud to let them know you LOVED it when he treated you like his own personal fuck doll. You'd ask for more, harder, faster-- as he rutted into you from behind. Your back in a nasty arch as your ass bounced and rippled when he--
×××××××××
"Kisaki?!"
Draken almost told whoever it was to fuck off. He didn't mean to get invested but--
(Baji) "Oh shit--"
Sanzu patted down his hair. "How's my hair?"
Hanma rolled his eyes. "Looks like shit" (as he rolled up his sleeves and tried to flex his freakishly long arms.)
Mistuya was turning pink and Mikey didn't want to look your way. He couldn't look at you the same now..
Tora wasn't blinking... Pah had his hands in his lap.
Takemichi felt weird... This wasn't right!
Kisaki stood up but Mikey stopped him. "Where do you think you're going?--"
Baji nodded. "That can't be it, right?! Give me some more details!"
Kisaki clicked his tongue. They all looked like starving puppies-- He hummed. "Nah."
Son of a bitch!
They watched him walk up to you. Your cute fucking outfit-- What was under it? More importantly how will they be able to ever see what was under that?
Kisaki kissed your cheek and grabbed your hand. You gave everyone a quick waved-- like zombies they waved back, all foaming at the mouth with their thoughts of you.
(Tora) "How much do you wanna bet they film some of the shit they do?"
Hanma shook his head. "They definitely do... You can't let seeing someone that pretty, in such a state go to waste."
Everyone agreed... Some silently.
They needed to figure out a way to get their hands on Kisaki's damn phone!
people don't recognize tokyo revengers for what it really is.
i feel as though people don’t speak enough about ’love’ in tokyo revengers. i understand tokyo revengers for what it is as an animanga: angsty, dramatic and filled with action. i am aware of the kind of animanga tokyo revengers is, but i truly wished it was spoken about more how much of a love story tokyo revengers is.
there is so many different examples throughout the animanga that showed genuine love. whether or not it was platonic, familial or romantic, there are so many different kind of relationships throughout the series that i feel aren’t spoken about enough for how they truly are and are unmistakably overshadowed by the angst of the series.
like, takemichi and mikey for example. they were destined to meet since they were mere first graders, as shown when takemichi was given the time traveling power by shinichiro at a young age. whether you ship them or not, they are soulmates, platonic or romantic. takemichi’s mission went from saving hina, to saving his friends, to being unable to stop until he saved mikey. he abandoned his own wedding and got himself murdered solely to see mikey once more so that he could save him. even as his last words were spoken in the kanto arc after being stabbed with a katana by mikey, he still solemnly swore that no matter how many times it took, he would save him, mikey, the man who killed him in that timeline.
or, like draken and emma. it was obvious from the early animanga that she was in love with draken, and did things in desperation hoping that he would notice her, recognize her want and need for him. emma died believing that draken didn’t love her, and draken died thinking about emma and his friends as his final thoughts. the entire time, draken reciprocated her feelings despite his obliviousness to her advancements on him.
you could also use kakucho and izana as a good example. again, whether or not it is platonic or romanticly the way you view them together, i believe they were still meant to be. i feel their trope was overshadowed, the fact that kaku never supported or believed anything izana did or wanted was good, but did anything he wanted without questioning because he’s devoted to him. it’s so different from most tropes, and that i truly enjoy about them. izana died to save kakucho, his ’servant’, because kaku was the only person he felt he could truly consider someone he loves and cares about, as the only person he truly has in his life being him. kaku died thinking about being together with izana again two years after the incident.
or the haitani brothers and the kawata twins. the haitani brothers are always together, always going as to ’match’ each other in some sort of way and to stand out from the rest. the way ran screamed rindou’s name in the tenjiku arc when angry was about to hurt him showed genuine concern and fear for his little brother. smiley was worried about angry because he knew he would cry, even if smiley wasn’t there. they are brothers, they care about eachother most in the world. they come in duos and shouldn’t be seperated.
even kisaki and hanma can be used as an example of love, whether romantic or platonic, either way. even if it was silly, hanma’s interest in kisaki grew more with each event that happened. the way hanma cried for the first time when he saw kisaki’s death showed his genuine care for him, even if kisaki saw him as only a pawn for him to use.
mikey and baji, draken and mitsuya, pah-chin and peh-yan, kazutora and baji, chifuyu and baji, izana and shinichiro, akkun and takemichi, kokonoi and inui. i could list so many more duos that are undervalued for their love stories, platonic, familial and romantic alike.
fuck, shinichiro literally killed someone in desperation just for things to be better in the original timeline, to see emma again, to see mikey smile.
there is so many fantastic examples of true and genuine love in tokyo revengers and i wish it wasn’t so ignored and overshadowed by peoples beliefs, headcanons, views and just the general angst of the story of tokyo revengers.
i truly wish it was spoken about more of how tokyo revengers is more than just an angsty action story about takemichi, who time trvaeled to save his former love and gained new friends on the way.
it’s more than that. it’s a story about love, family and hurt. and that alone needs to be valued way more than it really is in the fandom.
and i know that this can be seen as ’my own opinion’ and ’my own belief’, and i can accept that for what it is, because it is my opinion and my belief on tokyo revengers. but if you just payed attention to see these things you would realize it too.
tokyo revengers is a story about love. yes, it includes angst, action, fantasy and more but it is an overall story about love. more people need to realize that.
