Twin I NEED more aib fics 😛😛😛 literally anything bro 😛😛
𝝑𝝔 dating headcannons for aib — arisu, chishiya, niragi
director's note: will do! i miss the aib hype, should've written when s3 came out 🥹, non-borderland au!
arisu ♡ loves you like his coffee, light on the bitterness because overall he just wants to be loved too.
arisu is quite a clingy partner (if you couldn't tell already), but gosh was it amazing to feel appreciated every once in a while.
he is also very much so into praise & encouragement, loves to hear you tell him he's doing a great job, gives him the energy to keep going!
takes you out to fancy restaurants & begs his dad for the money to do so (father gives in due to... i guess the fact his other son got a partner before his eldest did.)
if you play games, trust that he will gift you things on the regular; it's just his thing. loves to see people call you an absolute money spender when they see you and your boyfriend's matching skins...
spoiler alert he paid for all your matching sets and it very blushy about it.
might not seem like it, but is the yapper of the relationship. loves to nerd out so much please he'll fall even harder if you listen (or even nerd out with him!)
has glasses with prescription but stopped using them due to getting bullied, if you like him with them on, best bet you'll find him tomorrow with them on while cooking you breakfast
(eggs and bacon, yes he was lowkey scared of the oil)
makes you guys do the classic couple trends that concern games to post on social media
chishiya ♡ loves with small smiles, hand gestures, and nudges rather than words. he does not speak too much, but he speaks enough.
chishiya loves silently, like his words are very much not needed with him, not with the many gifts he gives whenever he gets to (which is most probably all the damn time.)
his job always makes sure that money is never a problem not with him, and it never will be. so if ever you buy anything with your own card he's already sending you more, just check your balance!
you don't even have to ask, but he'd much rather you drain the hell out of his pockets than make you lift a finger. genuinely hides your wallet in a cabinet too tall for you to reach so he gets to pay when you guys get to go out on a date.
always waves to you, even after you two date because hey, he loves knowing you stay with tradition. yes waving is his way of saying i love you to you, and only to you.
the only person to ever physically touch him like hugs or whatever without being immediately being elbowed in the guts is you, he never liked it until you both started to cuddle.
literally does all the corny couple shit to make you fluster because... he feels like it. no deeper reason than that, no easier place to do it if not in private.
chishiya is an acts of service man, no doubt about it :)
niragi ♡ found it hard to accept that he actually liked- no, loved you at first. yeah he's liked a person or two before, but no one was quite like you, good was he insanely in love with you, he hated himself for it.
lets absolutely no one touch you but him. hates whenever he's just getting you two something to eat and all of a sudden prince charming over here thinks you're single?
very touchy to add on, has an arm around your waist, or on your lower back at all times! cannot handle not getting the point across to people who believe they could have a single chance.
he knew your favorite flavors like the back of his palm, actually, he knew your favorite... everything. flowers, flavor of ice cream, where you loved to hang around, animal, just ask him and he'll answer, but not without a scoff leaving his throat. "not like i care" or whatever that bullshit is.
has a huge thing for kissing your body. not even to suggest, he kisses your knuckles to greet you, and pecks your collarbone to drop you off safely at your doorstep.
also, can i just headcannon really quick: i believe he still is a nerd by heart, and the main reason why he fell in love is the kindness that still shines from you within when he talks about his interests.
you're asking questions? asking what he likes about it? what got him into it in the first place? he will propose right now with your favorite album in hand.
hiiii, can i request some fluff with niragi (cus theres hardly any written about him n it’s a struggle for me😭) anyways, i think anything would be good, whether it be bf headcanons for him or a short scenario, just anything pls im begging u 🧎🏻♀️💔
Would you say yes?
Niragi x Reader
Summary: You meet your boyfriend for the first time since the games started. Niragi arranges a dinner for you and has a talk about the future of your relationship when the games would be over.
A/N: We need more Niragi fluff so bad. I'm always sobbing trying to think what i have to write on the search bar to find any fluff.
♤♧
Niragi hadn't seen you in several days. At first, he had counted the days since he had lost you. One, two, three, four… But so many things happening around him, he had lost count. He was sure that you were dead, killed by one of the games if you even had been here at all. If you were alive, you should be here with him right now, by his side, but you weren't. Why weren't you with him?
Niragi took his anger to others, becoming more violent and menace than usual to deal with his emotions. He wanted to blame someone for you being gone. He experienced awful mood swings where one moment he was all chill and chatty, but the next moment he wanted to shoot the brains out from a person standing in front of him if they even glanced at him the wrong way.
The last time he saw you was in the crowded streets of Tokyo when you told him you'd go use the bathroom nearby. Niragi let you go inside alone, obviously he didn't plan to join you in a women's bathroom. You never came back. Niragi had gone to the bathroom where you went later, but you had been nowhere to be found. You had vanished into thin air.
Niragi was now standing by the pool at the Beach, talking with Aguni when Hatter appeared to the pool, though not alone. He had three new people coming after him. Niragi's heart stopped for a second when he recognized one of the three, his legs becoming weak under him.
The most gorgeous woman he had ever laid his eyes on was currently looking directly at him.
"Y/N?" Niragi breathed out when he looked at you with wide eyes, looking like he had just seen a ghost. Were you real or was he just extremely dehydrated, starting to see things?
You were frozen on your spot, not expecting to actually see him again.
Niragi dropped his rifle on the ground and hurried towards you, pushing one or two people out of his way. He instantly wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a suffocating hug. You didn't remember when was the last time he hugged you so tightly, desperate to keep you from floating away from him.
You were here, alive. Was this a dream after all? No, he felt your body against him, you were real. You had to be. If it was just a dream, he never wanted to wake up.
He pulled back a little, taking your face into his hands, making sure it was really you.
You put your arms around his neck, pressing your lips against his. He instantly kissed you back, sneaking his tongue inside your mouth. His hands were back on your waist, tightening his grip on your hips.
"Get a room, you two," Hatter shouted. When you glanced at him, he had a grin spread across his face.
"Mind your own fucking business," Niragi yelled over his shoulder.
He was about to pull you back into his arms to another kiss, but you put your hand on his chest to push him back.
"You heard the man," you grinned. "We'll need to continue that in private." He was already taking your hand in his, about to pull you inside but you didn't move from your spot. "Not now."
"Come on, baby," he whispered and lifted his hand on your cheek, brushing your skin with his thumb. "I missed you. I missed you so much."
"I missed you too," you smiled. "But it'll have to wait."
♤♧
Hatter had assigned a bedroom for you, but Niragi insisted that you'd be staying in his room. There was no way he'd let you out of his sight anymore.
Right now, you were taking a nice, hot shower. God, how much you missed having a proper shower, you had felt so dirty and nasty for several days.
Niragi had disappeared somewhere, vaguely saying he had something he needed to do and would be back soon. He wouldn't tell you what, which felt suspicious, but you didn't put too much thought on that.
You stepped out of the shower, wearing only your towel wrapped around your body. Before you managed to do anything, there was a knock on the door. You approached the door and opened it without another thought. Niragi stood in front of you, hands behind his back. He looked at your figure from head to toe.
"You always open the door half naked for people, huh?" Niragi asked with an angry expression on his face, eyebrows raised up. He pushed himself past you and closed the door before anyone would manage to walk past your room in the corridor, but keeping one hand behind his back. "I could have been anyone, you know. I don't want other men see you like that."
"Calm down," you sighed and rolled your eyes. "It was nobody else now, was it?" You tried to look past him what he was hiding behind his back, but he dodged your curious look by turning his body.
"What's going on?"
He pulled a single red rose behind him, offering it to you.
"I came to ask my girl for a date, of course," he answered, like it was obvious and you should have been aware of his plans. You took the rose between your fingers, blush rising on your cheeks, along with a flattered smile. "I know it's not your favorite flower, but that's all i found right now."
"It's perfect, Niragi, thank you." You pulled him closer by the collar of his black-and-white shirt, taking his lips on yours.
He eyed your half naked body up and down once more, not being very subtle, until returning his gaze back into your eyes. "You know, I'm extremely tempted to just rip that towel off, toss it on the floor and carry you into the bed but let me be a little romantic here, okay?"
"So, a date, huh?" you asked, not sure if you heard him correctly. "Where on earth did you plan to take me out here?"
"It's a surprise," he said. "Now come on, get dressed up."
"What's the theme, hm? Fancy, casual, bikinis or what?"
"Wear whatever you'd like," he answered, but then pointed a finger at you. "But no bikinis right now."
"You sure?" you grinned.
"Clothes on, now," Niragi demanded.
"I like when you're all bossy."
"Y/N," Niragi repeated, no tone of joking in his voice. "Now."
"Okay okay, jeez."
♤♧
Niragi had arranged a nice little dinner, just for the two of you, he had even lit some candles to be fancy. It had been a while since the last time he took you on a proper date, but whenever he did, he made sure to put effort on it. Being here right now, you had kind of limited options what you could do on a date.
When you had both finished eating, Niragi turned a lot more serious now.
“Y/N, I… I have something I’d like to talk to you about,” Niragi started, suddenly feeling extremely nervous.
“Alright, what is it?”
"We haven't really talked about our future."
"What do you mean?" you asked, brows furrowed.
"Our relationship, you know," he continued. "We've been together for five years and being here, every day a new chance to die, has made me think things."
Niragi took a deep breath and got up from his seat, taking your hand and pulling you up as well. He brushed your knuckles gently with his thumb, having a vulnerable look in his eyes when he looked at you.
"When we get home, i'll propose to you, if you'd like," he suggested.
Your heart started beating faster, shock flowing through your veins. Propose? Getting married was kind of whatever to you, though deep down a part of you did want to get married some day. You just hadn't imagined that Niragi would truly want that so you hadn't given it too much thought.
"Wait, really?" you asked, making sure you hadn't misheard him.
"Only if you promise to say yes because i don't think my ego is able to handle rejection very well," he stated and swallowed the lump in his throat. "Would you? Say yes, i mean?"
You smiled. "Of course i'd say yes, idiot."
He let out a relieved sigh and pressed a kiss on the top of your head, smiling against your hair and pulling you tighter against his chest. He held you like that for a moment, not saying anything in a while.
"You've changed, you know that? While being here," you pointed out.
"Is it a good or bad change?" he asked, a little unsure.
"Well, i'd never want you to change to someone else but it feels like a good one," you assured him. "You're more… serious, I think."
"In our world i was never afraid of losing you but now i almost did," he admitted. "It made me think things a little differently."
You couldn't help but smile, feeling butterflies storming inside your stomach.
"I'll take you on more dates when we get home than what i did before," he promised and put his warm hand on your cheek. "I know i took you for granted. I want to do better, Y/N."
"Niragi, you're too hard on yourself," you comforted him.
"Be honest," Niragi whispered, furrowing his eyebrows. "Do i make you happy?"
"Of course you do," you confirmed, cupping his cheeks in your hands. "I wouldn't be here if you didn't, now would i?"
"Okay," he smiled.
♤♧
Back in your bedroom, you changed into more comfortable clothes, stripping yourself until you were wearing only your underwear.
Niragi came out of the bathroom, taking a step back when he saw you in only your bra and panties. He automatically scanned your body from head to toe with his eyes. You leaned your hand against the wall, the other resting on your hip. He took a deep breath through his nostrils, clear lust in his eyes.
"You like what you see, hm?" you grinned and stepped closer to him, only a small gap between your bodies. You rested your hands on his shoulders, slowly sliding them down on his chest.
"Oh, you have no idea," he smirked.
"Come on, show me how much you've missed me," you whispered, almost coming off as a whine.
Niragi pushed your hands away, picked up a t-shirt and pulled it over your head. Your jaw dropped a little, shock and confusion filling your mind. He had always taken your shirt off, never putting one back on you.
"Niragi," you said slowly. "Is this a way of saying 'no' to having sex with me? Are you ill?" You put your hand on his forehead to see if it felt hot.
"Y/N, i'm not-"
"First you were ready to almost strip me by the pool and now you're not, huh?" you asked, crossing your arms against your chest. "And you’re saying that women send mixed signals to men."
"I think we should just rest tonight, that alright with you?" he asked, rubbing the sides of your body with his hands.
You narrowed your eyes and after a few seconds you took his head roughly in your hands, starting to yank on his hair and pull his cheeks to act as if you tried to rip his skin off.
"Who are you and what did you do to my boyfriend, huh? Come on, take the disguise off already, you filthy impostor," you commanded, making Niragi laugh as he tried to push his hands away from his face. "Don't start bullshitting me and say that you'll want to wait for marriage before having sex with me again. In that case i'll have Hatter marry us."
“You don’t have to worry about that,” Niragi promised and without a warning, he picked you up bridal style in his arms. He looked into your eyes. “I just want to hold you tonight, alright?”
The sweet look on his face made you feel all giddy and warm inside. You didn't see this side of him often, if ever. This gentle and handling you like he'd break you if he held too tight.
Niragi put you down on the bed, sitting next to you. You moved to sit between his legs, laying your back against his chest. He wrapped his arms around your waist, resting his hand on your stomach. His nose was buried in your hair, making him smell his own shampoo since there had been no other option for you to wash your hair with.
"Um," Niragi mumbled. "We talked about getting married but…"
"But what?"
"What about kids?"
"Kids?" you repeated, now pushing yourself up to properly turn around and face him. You looked at him with wide eyes and for a second he regretted bringing it up. "You want kids?"
"Well, um, you see. I didn't tell you but… i saw a dream about it once," he explained nervously. "You were there, teaching a little toddler to walk. I don't remember all of it. It just made me think and, well, i liked the idea. I think i'd like to have a kid with you some day."
"For real?" you asked, a wide smile spreading on your lips.
"For real."
You turned around to sit on his lap, straddling him with your knees on both of his sides on the mattress. You put your hands on his shoulders, rubbing them slowly.
"You don't want to start now, hm?" you asked, biting your lip.
"Tempting," he smirked. "But i think it'll have to wait for another time."
You looked shocked. You were literally grinding on his hips wearing only your underwear and he was still saying no?
"Did you come close to death in one of the games and suddenly found God, now wanting to devote yourself to him for the rest of our time here or something?" you asked, raising your eyebrows.
Niragi pushed you backwards, making you collapse on the mattress. He crawled on top of you, your legs wrapped tightly around his waist. He pinned your arms on the mattress next to your head. You tried to resist, laughing, but his grip was too firm for you to escape.
"Trust me," he said with a low voice, the tip of your noses almost touching each other. "Normally i'd never refuse but tonight i just want to keep you close to me."
"You're actually serious?" you asked, thinking what kind of switch had been turned around in his head to make him so soft.
He pushed a strand of your hair out of your face, the loving gaze in his eyes filling your stomach with butterflies. He pressed a kiss on your forehead.
"I'm serious about you, Y/N. You know that, right?" he asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"I know," you replied. "I'm serious about you too."
"Good. It'd be really awkward if you weren't," Niragi sighed, relieved. He pressed one more gentle kiss on your lips.
You giggled, and he laid down on the bed next to you, pulling you back on his chest.
"So, how many kids were you thinking about having, hm?" you asked. "Because i've planned to have atleast five."
Niragi sat up in full panic. "Now hold on a second, i said i'm open to have kids but i'm not going to buy a fucking bus to be able to drive my kids to school," he argued.
The image of Niragi driving children to school early in the morning was one of the least realistic thoughts you could think of. Looking at him while he acted the way he did around other people, it was hard to see him as an actual father. Although, you saw sides of him that nobody else could ever see and you knew he'd make a good dad.
"I'm kidding," you giggled. "There's no way i'm pushing more than two babies out of me."
"Don't scare me like that," Niragi sighed, holding his hand against his chest as if he was on the edge of a heart attack, and laid back down on the mattress.
Both of you laid there on your side, bodies facing each other. You were quiet for a moment, just losing yourself into each other's eyes.
"You'd make a good dad, though," you smiled.
"Yeah?" Niragi mirrored your smile. "And you'd make a damn good mom."
You eventually fell asleep in each other's arms, blanket pulled over both of you. Niragi held you close against his chest, giving you no way to escape his hold on you. You were the first to fall asleep, the heat of his skin warming you up just the right amount.
Niragi stayed awake later than you, brushing your hair with his fingers. He had gotten you back, you were there again with him. He had never thought that someone would love him just the way he was enough to agree on marriage and spending the rest of your life together. It felt surreal.
And having a child with you? Niragi didn't know if he would make a good father but the idea of him raising a child with you warmed his heart. He'd try his best to be good.
For you.
If someone asked him about getting married and having a child, he would have laughed at their face how stupid thought that was. That life wasn't meant for him at all. But now? Imagining that life with you? He suddenly wanted that.
"I love you," Niragi whispered against your hair, but you were deep asleep.
Hello, can I request a one shot of Niragi x reader, where they have been a couple since before arriving in bonderland but the reader noticed the big change in Niragi's attitude which makes her want to get away from him and then help chishiya and kuina to steal the cards
ꔫ ⸝⸝ summary: you could tell niragi changed when you arrived at the borderlands. afraid he'd hurt you, you wanted to hurt him first.
ꔫ ⸝⸝ pairing: niragi x gn!reader
ꔫ ⸝⸝ genre: very light angst
ꔫ ⸝⸝ warnings: niragi, vague mention of blood, lmk if anything else.
ꔫ ⸝⸝ word count: 388
A/N: hope this is okay! I forgot how ugly niragi was in the manga when I was looking for a banner LMAO.
It was barely noticeable at first. The way Niragi acted; how he changed when he realized what world you found ourselves in.
He was far more impulsive than he used to be. He was smarter in the other world, he actually had a little bit of sense.
Why did he have blood on his clothes? Holding that rifle everywhere he went?
He was almost unrecognizable. You weren't sure who you were looking at when you both settled to the beach.
Psychologically, you knew. He needed people to be intimated by him. He refuses to be bullied anymore.
But you know what they say: "The bullied becomes the bully."
It was sad to see him like this. Acting out of line and purely intrusive. He wasn't the same.
Sometimes you wondered if he really was the same, just not masking his true intentions until now. Until there were no consequences.
Distancing yourself was easier than you'd like to admit. You barely spent any time together anymore, but you knew you needed something else to do.
Chishiya asked you before. Asked you to help him to steal the cards, you were close with Niragi after all. He hoped you'd distract him.
You denied at first. You told him it was because you don't think you'd be much help. But now, you think it was because you couldn't betray him. Not yet.
But walking down the hallway with a walkie talkie stuffed in your back pocket, Niragi and the other militants just a few feet away.
If they'd get caught, you'd be afraid of Niragi finding out you were in on it too.
He's far too stupid, now. He wouldn't think you would do that, right?
But you had the first hand view to Chishiya ratting them out. He knew you wouldn't say a word, because if you did, everyone would know you were in on it too.
You were a bit frustrated when Chishiya turned out to be untrustworthy. But not for the reasons you convinced yourself of.
Not because he could hurt the others. Not because he just betrayed everyone to your face.
But because you wanted to see the look in Niragi's eyes when he put the pieces together about you distracting them.
To see the new way Niragi would look at you, betrayed and possibly hurt.
A/N:lmao this is nearly the end of the first season yet I've been writing this story for YEARS???
Prev | MasterList | Next
Neither of you stopped, weaving in and out of burnings, over and under rubble as your feet carried you as far away as possible. Ignoring the chance you were dragging yourself into more danger, you let Chishiya guide you.
“In here!”
It was a small hardware store, the windows were already broken and the shelves raided, no doubt for weapons but luckily hidden behind the counter was a set of stairs. You tripped up them still holding each other's hand. As much as you desperately wanted to slump against the floor and let your lungs replenish the mass amounts of oxygen that you had depleted due to your impromptu sprint you knew that safety wasn’t guaranteed.
“Help me get this across the door.” You gesture to a solid filing cabinet. Mustering up the last of your shared strength you locked yourselves in. Bullets wouldn’t get through metal that thick.
The windows thankfully hadn’t been smashed but there was no heat.
This wasn’t like the home Chishiya had made.
“Did you get hit?” Chishiya asked through a pant. “How is your arm?”
“Fine.” You check to make sure. “What about you?”
He lifts his shirt before nodding. “It didn’t reopen, it’s okay.”
“What the fuck was that.” You drop your head against the wall. “How did he find us.”
Chishiya pulled off his backpack, handing you a bottle of water. “I think he knew people would be heading there to join the game.”
You stilled, the bottle clutched in your hand. “The game Kuina and An left to join?”
“Yeah probably.” He takes another swig of the water before recapping it and putting it back in his bag. “Why?”
“What if they got shot?”
He shakes his head. “Trust me Kuina is like a leech, she won’t die.”
“But what if-“
“Stop worrying about them.” He cuts you off. “They weren’t the ones that just nearly got shot to death, it’s okay to care about them but you have to prioritise yourself. Stop being irrational.”
“I’m not being irrational, I'm worrying about a friend.” You explain through gritted teeth.
He stares at you blankly. “Do you think Kuina would want you to worry in this way?”
You hate how he makes a good point.
Kuina would be angered at the thought you were worrying about her when your own life had been in danger. “No, she wouldn’t.”
“Then forget about her for a while. It’s okay to do that. It’s okay to care for yourself.” He assures you. “We need to figure out where we are.”
You peek out of the window, dropping back into your previous position when you see nothing. “I didn’t see any signs as we ran, it’s too dark.”
He agreed. “We will have to wait until the sun comes up but whatever is going on, I think this is coming to an end.”
“You think the games are nearly complete?”
He sounds sure. “I think that we have nearly won every card we need.”
“I hope so.” You wish. “I don’t think either of us will fare well against another game.”
“We should rest.” He manages to find a blanket and a cushion, laying them down on the floor. “You sleep first we can take it in turns, I’ll wake you up in a little so we can switch.”
“Are you sure?” You eye the makeshift bed. “You’ve just come out of a game one that was no doubt exhausting, mentally if not physically. I’m okay you want to sleep first.”
“No, it’s okay.” He declines the offer. “You get some sleep, I'm going to try and see if there is anything useful here, just let me know if I make too much noise.”
“Okay.” You agree, laying atop the blanket. “Goodnight.”
“Mhm.”
Despite his warning about making noise you don’t hear anything, it was hard to drift off at first. Your mind ran a world of its own as it had you picturing the masked gunman shooting down the door any second but eventually, the adrenaline you’d worked up burned out and you were left depleted and exhausted.
This time there were no dreams, just a void.
“Hey.” You felt yourself being sat up.
“What?” You grumbled, still disoriented from your nap. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s been a few hours.” Ah, it was time to switch.
You sit up, huffing as you brush the stray hairs out of your face. “Okay you sleep, I’ll take watch.”
“Okay.” He agrees, slipping onto the mat you’d just moved from. “I found a spare wrench, it’s against the wall.”
“Oh that’s good.” You yawn, leaning against the wall opposite Chishiya. “Sleep.”
“Goodnight.” He mumbles.
It didn’t take him long to fall asleep, it made sense though. He hadn’t exactly had time to rest after his game and it was unlikely he had managed to eat anything.
That was another pressing matter - food.
You quietly looked around, sifting through drawers and cupboards. Most of it was no good, perishable foods that were so rotten they looked as if they had been there for a millennia.
At this point they probably could have been.
It was hard not to wonder what was happening in the real world, if time passed different here then how long had you been gone? Years? Months? Days? It felt as though you’d been here for at least a year but it was probably something more like a few months.
The sun was already rising, it seemed as though some days night lasted forever, an unending darkness accompanied by a few hours of dull sunshine but some days it was the opposite, a hot sun with little reprieve found in the minimal hours of darkness that coats the city.
Today seemed like the latter.
You peered over the windowsill, the city as always was dead but you took that as a positive rather than a negative, you dropped back to the floor with a thud.
It was probably weird to watch Chishiya sleep but it wasn’t as though you had a variety of things to keep you entertained, you missed the small house and all of its perks. You forgot, even for a few days, what it was like to have absolutely nothing in a world where there was no permanency.
Your life in the real world - if it could be called that - had grown dull. There wasn’t much variety in the things you’d do, you were lonely and had grown accustomed to living alone but you missed how permanent things were. You had a home you could return to, you had a job, you had people you’d interact with, the sun rose and set at a normal time, you could go to stores and not worry about the shelves being empty.
Nothing here was permanent, not even the people, that’s what hurt you the most.
From the corner of your eye you saw an object stutter in the sky, you scrambled up, your heart racing in preparation to run.
Only to see something that, for once, provided you comfort.
“Chishiya wake up!” You slap his chest.
He jolts up, body rigid. “What?!”
“Look!” You point out the window at the mass ball of flames falling upon the city.
“Is that the blimp?” He squints. “It’s the king of spades. If I’ve worked it out correctly and I’m sure I have, that means after Kuina and Ans game finishes there’s just one game left.”
“What one?” You ask, a part of you relaxing at the blimp crashing into the ground.
“The queen of hearts.”
“We should go.” He stands, brushing his clothes off.
You quickly pack up, both taking a few sips of water and halving an oat bar before setting off.
The journey to the final blimp was thankfully a short one, the game stationed relatively close to the hardware store you'd hidden in the day prior. It made sense, you were practically in the heart of the city.
“Is that-“ You were shocked to see so many familiar faces. “Arisu? Usagi?” You called out.
They both turned to you at the same time, eyeing Chishiya cautiously before approaching you. “You’re alive?”
“Clearly.” Chishiya scoffs under his breath before turning to you. “I’ll be over here.”
You nod as he walks away. “How are you both?”
Arisu smiles although it’s strained. “As well as can be, are you going to play?”
“No.” You shook your head. “I have enough days on my visa.”
Usagi shrugs. “We played a few, I think we all just want this to be over.”
“You can say that again.” Arisu laughs. “Heart games are never good.”
“They aren’t.” You agree, the memories of your own horrifying experience with the card were always on your mind. “Have you seen anyone else?”
“Like who?”
“ An? Kuina?” You ask.
“Not for a while.” Usagi answers. “I saw them both after we split up at the train station they were doing okay.”
“We were staying together.” You explains. “Only for a few days but they both had to leave to join a game.”
“The Queen of Clubs?” Arisu questions.
You make a noise of affirmation. “How did you know?”
“I saw the blimp pass over, I also saw it crash.”
If the game was over and they weren’t here that could mean….
“Didn’t you say you were staying together?” Usagi seems to notice your train of thought and intervenes. “Did they know you were coming here?”
“No.” You purse your lips. “We were hiding out at a small house type hut but the king of spades turned up and quite literally blew it up.”
“I’m sure they are fine.” Usagi rubs your arm. “They probably went back there first.”
You truly hoped that was the case.
“Thanks.” You smile at her. “Is there anyone else here?”
The atmosphere around you turned into something solemn.“Tata…he passed away during a game.”
“How?” You weren’t close with him but he wasn’t a bad person.
Arisu looks at you with unbridled guilt. “He died helping us win.”
“I’m sure he wouldn’t regret that choice.” You reassure him, it was never easy when you were the reason for someone’s death even when you weren’t directly involved in it. “I’m glad you’re both okay.”
“Likewise.” He doesn’t make an attempt to smile, you can understand why. “I think the game is starting.”
You look back to find the gates surrounding the large building open, something they hadn’t been when you arrived. “I’m gonna go get Chishiya.”
He seems to have the same idea as he walks towards you. “Happy?”
“Just peachy.” You retort sarcastically. “Let’s go.”
“Without us?” You could scream as you turn back to see Kuina and An walking towards you, both worse for wear with various cuts and bruises littering their pale bodies.
“Fuck.” You curse as you run towards them, your arms wrapping around their waist as you help them stay upright. “Chishiya!”
He understands and wraps Ans arm around his shoulder. “You owe me, both of you owe me.”
“Stop complaining.” You hiss at him. “What happened to you two?”
“We won our game but it was hard.” Kuina says tiredly. “I need to sit.”
“Here.” You help them both slump down against the set of stairs beside the building. “You’ll be okay, you will. Chishiya do you have anything to help?”
He looks at the pair before grabbing your hand and pulling you aside. “I’ll be honest. I don’t think they are going to make it.”
“Don’t say that.” You felt the colour drain from your face. “You can help them.”
“There’s too much blood.” He shakes his head. “It will be pointless.”
“Chishiya please.” You bat away your tears. “I can’t lose them.”
He groans but pulls the bag off his back. “What one first?”
“Her.” An nudges Kuina. “She has it worse.”
“Take this.” Chishiya shoved a small bottle of cleaning alcohol into your hands. “Clean as much as you can. I’ll deal with Kuina.”
“What happened?” You glance at Arisu before tuning back to An.
“They were in a game.” Your voice wavers as you carefully dab at the large gash on Ans leg. “We need to finish this and get out of here, they need a hospital.”
“Usagi and I have decided to play.” He informs you. “I’ll do my best.”
You hear him turn away. “Arisu?”
He turns back to you. “Yeah?”
“I know you can win this.”
You watch as he and Usagi disappear inside the building, both of them limping as they go, clearly sustaining their own injuries.
“Hey?” An croaks.
You turn your attention back to her. “Yeah?”
“It’s okay.” It takes her far more effort than it should to brush the tears away from your cheeks. “It’s okay.”
Summary: A rare moment of tenderness lying in bed with Niragi.
Word count: 1.4k
Warnings: implied abusive behavior, referenced smut
A cold breeze blowing through the open window chills you enough to make you scoot closer to the warm chest pressed against your back. Part of you wonders if that’s the reason why the window stayed open tonight but you let go of the thought quickly. It’s hard to focus on anything but the little content sigh the man behind you lets out.
Niragi is far from perfect - hell, far from decent - but he’s making progress. Slowly. In moments like these you can almost imagine your relationship is normal.
His arms tighten around your waist, pressing you even more into him. Bare skin touches skin. It makes you shiver, sensitivity lingering after your previous activities. More than that, though, it reminds you of a movie scene you’ve seen ages ago.
A blind woman touching a sleeping tiger.
Why can you relate to her so much at this very moment?
You let go of the thought. Instead, you turn around with a chuckle and nuzzle into his neck. The closer you are, the safer you are. He presses a kiss to your temple. Lately, you’re only seldom reminded of the feeling of the muzzle of his gun against that same spot.
“You seem to be in a good mood,” you note, running your hands over the muscles on his back.
“I am,” he replies. It’s indeed rare to see him like that - relaxed, walls lowered enough that you can forget they are there.
“Why?” you tease. After a moment of hesitation, you decide it’s safe enough to kiss along his collarbone, and so you do. While you don’t doubt he has enough strength for round two, it seems possible that tonight he would allow you a moment of intimacy deeper than that. Still he tenses a little, a reflex. It always happens if your touch grows soft and caring. There is a progress nonetheless - to start with, he no longer threatens to break your arm if you touch him like that.
He scoffs in response to your question.
“I have the perfect little toy next to me. We had an amazing sex and now I get to keep you like this,” he squeezes you tighter, “Is there any reason why I shouldn’t be happy?”
Toy, huh? You haven’t heard that one in a while. Maybe he wanted to remind you. Or himself, who knows.
You smile against his skin. Deciding not to burst the bubble of serenity by reminding him that there’s no guarantee either of you would survive tomorrow, you just keep kissing down to his shoulder.
“There might be,” you murmur, concealing the amused teasing as best as you can behind a serious tone. It’s easy to trick Niragi like that. He likes to jump to conclusions when it comes to your relationship. Insecure enough to expect you to turn your back on him even if it’d cost you your life at the very least.
“Like?” he tenses further under your touch, trying to push you away to look at you. Fortunately he controls his strength and you manage to stay snuggled against him by hugging him tightly.
“Hmm… well, you’re not the one cuddling with the hottest and deadliest man at the Beach. And you don’t get to kiss him,” you demonstrate by tracing your lips back up to his neck, “and touch him,” now that he’s calmed down you can once again stroke across his back and sides, “and tell him that you love him very much.”
Your mouth follows the outline of his windpipe, kissing up his neck to his lips, to which you’re so generously granted access. The tension remains in his muscles. It was to be expected. Soft praise and attention always make him uncomfortable, confessions of feelings even more so. And he knows no way of reacting to that feeling other than violence and threats. Fortunately it seems like he’s finally understood that you won’t tolerate that kind of behavior towards you.
“Careful,” Niragi warns instead. It isn’t soft, not exactly, but you appreciate the effort he put into making the word not seem like a threat.
You smile into the kiss when he connects your lips again. It’s the slow kind of kiss that you love, lips melting together, tongues sliding against each other languidly. You play with the ball that pierces his flesh, careful not to hurt him despite the wound being long healed.
“Why?” you whisper as you pull away for air. You see the way his jaw clenches just as he notices the spark of uncertainty in your eyes. He tries his best to relax again.
“I don’t want to hurt you tonight,” he whispers back after a moment of consideration. A thought crosses your mind, wondering just how fucked up your life has gotten that you actually consider it a sweet sentiment. He’s looking straight into your eyes as if searching for approval. You wonder if anyone’s ever seen him like that.
“I appreciate that,” you hum softly, reaching out to play with his hair as you kiss the corner of his mouth. Every moment with him really feels like living with a wild tiger. You can never be entirely sure that he won’t take your life in the next second. All it would take is one little misstep.
Perhaps you like the danger, crave it even on some unconscious level. That’s the only explanation you have for staying with him this long. Even as you tangle your fingers into his hair, combing through it with care, you think of the wild beasts you’ve encountered in the various games.
His eyes are closed. You have a theory that it’s so that you can’t read them. Yet it’s obvious Niragi’s going through some internal war. As you stroke his hair, running your hands through it carefully and massage his scalp, you think that just maybe he’s getting used to it. Used to this kind of touch that leaves behind comfort instead of pain.
He’s never told you about his past but it’s not exactly hard to guess it couldn’t have been easy. Or maybe you just want to believe his actions and behavior could be if not justified or excused then at the very least explained by the conditions that shaped him.
Thinking about the ancient history, the old world, your hands find their way to his face.
It comes as a surprise to you that you’ve never thought of wrapping them around his neck instead.
One of your hands slides down to his cheek, tenderly cupping it, while the other strokes above his eyebrow. Eventually your finger bumps into the metal ball there. It’s a strange contrast. While the one in his mouth is nice and warm, this one is cold, chilled by the midnight air. You smile a little and he must have heard it because he asks you what’s so funny - you tell him. He shakes his head.
“You’re the only person who would wonder about that, you know?” Niragi kisses your forehead. You smile, surprised that he hasn’t yet told you to stop. Maybe this is a test. You feel like you’ve already tested his patience a lot tonight with all your gentle touches. It makes you feel strangely proud of him and grateful to Niragi that he accepted as much of your love as he did tonight.
But you can’t tell him that. If you told him you noticed the progress, the little changes so that your relationship at least resembles something healthy, he would cover back behind his walls, throwing all the progress out the window in the process.
You decide to push your luck instead. There’s something you wanted to do while you had the chance. Shifting higher so you’d reach his ear, you begin kissing a path from his lips across his jaw. Occasionally sucking on his skin, you make your way to his ear. The increasing strength of his hold on you does not go unnoticed. You bite his earlobe lightly.
“It’s true, even if you don’t like it. Even if you don’t feel the same way. I love you,” you squeeze his shoulder. A sign that you’re done for today. That you’re ready to respect him as a predator and a killer rather than being respected and tolerated as his partner again.
That little squeeze is probably enough of a reassurance that his jaw relaxes again and he sighs deeply through his nose, angry but holding it together. It’s almost adorable.
You nuzzle into his chest, an allowed and welcomed gesture. It gives him an opportunity to hold and protect you through the night. Besides, with an ear pressed against his heart, you can pretend it’s beating so fast because he’s feeling a whole different emotion than fury.
as sweet as he is, so are arisu's kisses. his lips are shy at first. he doesn't really know where to put his hands so most likely he'd wait for you to place them on your body. or not. maybe you didn't want that. oh, that was okay with him. and when you press your hands against his chest or cup one of his cheeks, he can't help but open his eyes during the kiss in surprise. but he's soft, and gentle, really careful with every move his lips make.
he never kissed anyone before yet when chishiya kissed you he seemed to know what he was doing. he doesn't need his hands to be on your body to show dominance. at first he might seem to be a little motionless, but he's just analyzing your pace, your intensity, how you like to focus on his lower lip, and how your hands want to touch him but did not dare to do it, so he'd be the one taking your hands and placing them on his chest. he matches your kisses so well. if he's feeling frisky he'd take one of his hands out of his pocket and caress your cheek with his thumb while kissing.
kuina knows how to give a good kiss. maybe a little shy using her body but she knows how to do it. her lips taste like cherry thanks to the gloss she uses, and they're always so soft and ready for yours. she loves having her hands on your neck, not choking you, just resting there. lip bites. oh yes. she'd do it to break the kiss and catch some air and in the middle of the kiss just to trap your lips with hers again the second after.
kyuma's kisses are slow but passionate, very sensual. he knows what he's doing, he knows where to put his hands, he knows where to touch you. his kisses are really wet and there's a lot of tongue in them, but he knows how to use it to not make it awkward. his hands would be on your cheeks, helping him to deepen the kiss if that's possible, his body really close to yours.
niragi is rough. a lot of tongue in his kisses as well. his hands all over your body but one of them always ends up squeezing your cheeks during the kiss as a gesture of dominance, or pinching your chin with his thumb and his index finger. he doesn't care if you can't keep up with his lips, because the kisses he gives you are for his personal pleasure.
she's such a cutie. usagi closes her eyes before you kiss her, just waiting for your lips, and she's nervous but the moment you kiss her it's all gone. slow kisses in which your breaths mix easily, and her hands look for a place to rest. it could be either on your chest, enjoying your heartbeat against them, or tugging at the root of your head. she'd apologize afterward if she had gotten carried away and was too rough.
Hi may i ask for a niragi dating headcannons? Thank you (^-^)
Btw, I love your work
A/N: Thank you so much ☺️ I’ve been wanting to write for you all sooner, but my laptop charger decided to stop working, so I’ve been a little restricted with working and basically did this on a different computer because it’s literally impossible for me to type everything on my tiny phone screen 💀 Anyways, enjoy!! Requests are closed now but I’ll be able to answer every one that’s come in for you in the meantime 🤍
Warnings: Mentions of suggestive stuff (hickeys ☺️) and violence… is Niragi a whole warning himself lol
Quick note: These headcanons are personalised slightly since I absolutely hate how he acts with Usagi (you know what I mean 😐) so let’s say he’s more of a decent person than how he’s portrayed in some scenes 😅♥️
🖤 Dating Niragi Includes… 🖤
🤍• Aaaaghhhh it’s the strutting bully in black and white who is almost as crazy possessive with you as Banda would be 😵💫 have fun, because once he notices that you didn’t shy away in disgust from his bold flirtatious advances and returned his attention back at the Beach, take him, boy’s yours 😂
🤍• These headcanons are typically set in Season 2, but before the fire and Niragi’s presumed death when it all burned down, with time and privacy, you somehow found the soft side of the victim-turned-bully who desperately wants you to believe that he’s a powerful, intimidating bad boy.
🤍• Jealous jealous jealous 💀 especially with Chishiya; if the smug blonde looks at you for a moment too long with that raised brow and observant eyes? He gets Niragi’s rifle shoved into his face with a barrel of insults and threats. Because deep down, he’s still vulnerable and doesn’t want anyone turning your head or seeing that he’s not done fearless trigger happy guy, he’s just Niragi.
🤍• And if you end up telling him when you’re alone that you only want Niragi, he has to a take a second to not cry. 🥲 Still, when it’s not just you two together where he lets his walls come down, he’ll persist on showing off by declaring how he dedicates his wins in games to you or something. All the survivors nod in confirmation with wide eyes at you when you question it in amusement.
🤍• He’s not one at all to back down from PDA, since subtlety is not Niragi’s strong suit, but if you’re not comfortable with him leaving massive hickeys for the world to see and his tongue down you’re throat in wide open public… yeah, okay, a roll of his eyes but he’ll tone it down and keep an arm slung around your shoulder.
🤍• He likes you playing around with his rifle, which is a wonder, since anyone else who gets too close to it has it snatched away and pointed right in their face 😅 but Niragi’s surprisingly quiet when it’s just you two in your room, him sitting behind you and playing thoughtfully with your hair, or guiding your hands absentmindedly, while you look over the weapon’s triggers and material. Occasionally his head drops in the crook of your neck with a tired pout and he gets fed up of your attention being on it instead of him, which could lead to… well, him having your full attention 😉
🤍• But after the Beach burns down and Niragi’s presumed dead, it leaves you to stick with Arisu and his group while you stay quieter than usual, watching the colours of lovebites fade from your skin over the days and your mind drifting to the cocky bastard who you’ve seen cling to you at night, neither of you saying a word about it but just letting it happen. Being the only comfort to each other, the only person in possibly years that Niragi’s let, in or even loved.
🤍• So when you see him at that evaporation game, or threatening Chishiya and Arisu with his gun, it’s a wave of relief and tears that makes him forget what he’s doing and hold onto you like he’d never let go again 🥹 he keeps saying he’s sorry, over and over, cradling you so tight you have to tell him that you can’t breathe
🤍• However, because of what happened at the Beach, he’s now terrified all over again about you hating him because of the burns on his face, so when you assure him that you don’t care and that you’re only glad he’s still alive, he’ll get that urge to break down and cry again 🥺
🤍• He’s still as arrogant and headstrong as he was before in games and with people, but a little weaker. You’re basically his nurse, cus the dude spits blood 😶 and him being him teases about that, but really, he wants to make sure he’s strong enough to carry on and get you both safe back in the real world, where he can look out for you instead of the other way around, and be a proper kind of couple
🤍• Niragi is increasingly protective now too, since he already lost you once. There’s no way he’ll let it happen again, and it’s hard to convince him to let you do things in games without him doing it all for you with you behind him. He means well, obviously, but it can be a bit overbearing sometimes 😅
🤍• All in all, once Niragi’s in love, he’s in love, and he won’t let you go. He’s actually a really great, passionate lover, all violent cray-cray traits aside - they’re never directed at you anyway, never - and there won’t be a day that goes by where you can’t tell.
🤍• I might have to write an imagine about this now 🥹 gotta love Niragi 💕
