I was reading Obey Me headcanons about how the boys react after a fight, and it got me thinking about how the A3 boys would react after a fight.
And I realized that a good chunk of them probably wouldn’t have a fight in the first place, let alone a dramatic one that led to radio silence. I’ve never written A3 before, so this is more just a thought Drabble than a fic or real set of headcanons.
Spring Troupe - 1/5 likely to fight.
Sakuya - how could you fight with this innocent bean? Like seriously, I can’t picture anything that would lead to actual yelling or storming out of a room. He’s just not that type. Any argument is going to be resolved before anyone leaves the room, and it probably won’t get past “tense discussion” anyway.
Masumi - Izumi once said something vaguely negative to him and he basically went catatonic. It’s not healthy, but he has no boundaries and I doubt he’d ever fight with you. About you, over you, sure, but never WITH you. The only thing I can see happening is you getting mad because he threatened someone you were talking to. Or maybe he’s just way too into your space. But just ask him nicely to stop and he would.
Tsuzuru - grew up in chaos. You think fighting is his first response? Reason and rationality is his first response. If he can keep his cool when one brother is screaming, two are fighting, one is trying to jump off the roof to see if he can fly, another seems to have gone completely AWOL, and dinner is half-cooked and literally on the stove there is NO WAY he’s going to let a simple disagreement derail him. If there’s a fight, you either caught him at the ABSOLUTE wrong time, you did something awful, or you wanted to pick a fight. Or you want him to go to bed on time and take care of himself - but he’d probably appreciate that you cared, all while ignoring the advice. It’s more likely it’s a serious disagreement, and you both need a few days to think before you talk again.
Itaru - yeah, no. There’s gonna be massive fights here. Go nuts. Maybe he forgot you had a date because he was streaming. Maybe you accidentally tripped on the power cord to his console and cost him a game. If you cut into his gaming time, or, heaven forbid, wreck his kill streak or keep him from ranking, there WILL be shouting. There may be silent treatment (or maybe he just got caught up in his games and didn’t realize it’s been 36 hours since you walked out of the room). Whether or not he reaches out to you first is anyone’s guess.
Citron - you have to spend your energy figuring out his idioms and that takes away from fighting energy. He can talk circles around you, so good luck having any kind of argument. Any problem you have with him isn’t REALLY a problem because it’s what they do where he comes from! He didn’t understand the customs! It’s almost impossible to be mad at someone so determined to be cheerful.
Summer Troupe - 3/5 likely to fight
Tenma - There’s gonna be fights, and it’s probably gonna be because the tsundere can’t get his emotional act together. But he’d be just as quick to apologize and/or send flowers as he is to take offense, because he’s not willing to be without the person who sees him as HIM. Fights are like gunpowder in this relationship - explosive, but over quickly. How much damage they cause is anyone’s guess.
Yuki - Oh boy. Oh no. This boy goes from “sass king” to “cut you to the bone with words” in a quarter of a second. Push his buttons wrong, and he will completely destroy your soul. He’ll feel bad about it later, but his words cut so deep they go beyond drawing blood. It’ll take a couple of fights for him to start reigning himself in, once he realizes the damage he’s doing to you and the relationship. He’d be the first to reach out, but not with an apology. Just a request to meet and talk. Apologies would happen in person.
Muku - how could you fight with this innocent bean, part 2. No fight would ever leave the room because the moment you got angry with him, he’d start hating on himself and blaming himself. Again, very unhealthy, but you’d have to be REALLY mad to just walk away and leave him like that - and if you were that type of person, you wouldn’t date him in the first place. Once you’ve calmed him down, you REALLY need to have a discussion with him about self-esteem and maybe finding a therapist.
Misumi - Okay, what are you going to argue about? Whether or not a particular item is triangular? Maybe you got mad at his lack of self-preservation. Again, I don’t see anything with Misumi actually becoming an argument. He tends to be too laid-back and strangely reasonable to fight.
Kazunari - He’s got an artistic temperament, so fighting is a possibility. But I don’t see any fight lasting too long, or devolving into the silent treatment for two reasons: 1 - he’s really impulsive and 2 - he can’t stand being ignored. I would say if things got heated and you stormed out, you’d be bombarded by texts within the hour, no matter who was at fault. If that didn’t work, he’d start vague-posting about you on Instablam, sad-face selfies and all. Anything to get you to talk to him.
Autumn Troupe - 3/5 likely to fight
Banri - “Well, fine! Fuck you too!” Banri is easily the most volatile member of Mankai, so a relationship with him runs the risk of any disagreement escalating into a full-blown fight. Just ask Juza. The kind of fight where one person storms out, slamming the door as hard as they can. Banri is also petty af, so if you’re not talking to him, well, then he’s not talking to you! For awhile. Like Kazunari, he cannot stand to be ignored. I assume the best way to get him to talk to you again is to provoke him into it. Chat up everyone in the troupe while politely ignoring him. Politely talking to him if necessary. Basically, play him like a fiddle. He’d hate it at the time and respect you for it later.
Juza - Another one I can’t see fighting, really. He’s spent his life trying to AVOID fights. He also assumes everyone finds him scary, so finding someone who really likes him? You fighting with him would devastate him, especially if you followed it up with silence. I can’t decide if he would go radio silent in the depressive “well, guess they broke up with me” way, or if he’d text you every hour or so to see if you’re talking to him again yet. Whatever it was he did wrong (and he’s pretty sure it’s his fault, even if he doesn’t understand it), he’d rather fix it than finish breaking it.
Taichi - he doesn’t want to fight, doesn’t set out to fight, but it’s really hard for him to have a calm discussion when he’s riled up. He doesn’t ever stop to think before he jumps into something, so he says rash and stupid things without thinking about the consequences. Then he blows up your phone trying to get you take him back. So he’ll fight, but he’ll regret it three seconds after you walk out of the room.
Omi - He’s worked long and hard to make sure he’s got control over himself. He’s got a violent, angry past and he’ll be damned if he lets who he was into his current relationship. There is no fighting. There is calm, if tense, discussion. If you’re mad and want to yell, he’ll wait calmly until you’re done. But he’s also team “how could you fight with this bean (part 3)” because he’s just so nurturing and easygoing.
Sakyo - Oh boy. Oh no. (Part 2). You have shaken the wrong hornet’s nest if you want to fight with Sakyo. He doesn’t WANT to fight. He’s too old for these adolescent displays. If we can’t talk like adults, then let’s wait until we can. At least 95% of the time. But pushing the wrong button or getting him at the wrong time is a mistake you wouldn’t repeat. He’s always remorseful when that happens, and his trouble with emotional situations makes his apologies come out sounding stilted and fake, but if you meet him halfway things will be fine.
Winter Troupe - 1/5 likely to fight
Troupe note - this entire troupe is Psychological Damage, The Troupe.
Tsumugi - How could you fight with this innocent bean, part 4. Definition of cinnamon roll. Any walking away after an argument is a cool down period, not a silent treatment. He’s just so mild and inoffensive; I can’t see him getting angry unless something was so serious it was legitimately relationship-breaking.
Tasuku - The only one of this troupe I see willing to fight in a relationship, and I kinda feel like very little matters to him enough to get INTO a fight. But if something did, he would absolutely have a hot-tempered argument about it. You would definitely have to approach him first to fix anything - while he claims he wants to do better after what happened with Tsumugi, his first instinct is to just cut out anyone who causes him that kind of emotional pain. I can see him drowning himself in his work to avoid having to think or feel and if he’s too busy to contact you, well, he will when he has the time. Except he never has the time.
Hisoka - This man could never summon up enough energy to bother arguing with you, let alone sustaining resentment afterwards. Fights take two people, and he’s just not interested. You want to talk? Find him later.
Homare - Any fights with Homare would likely come from him saying something completely insensitive. You can address it on the spot, but if it hurts too much and you need to walk away to regain your emotional balance, he’s another one who would be devastated. He’s already had one beloved walk out of his life because of this; he can’t take another. You would probably find handwritten notes and poems slipped under your door the next morning - snippets of poems, apologies, requests to meet. He’s got too much pride to beg, and he can’t give a specific apology because he doesn’t really understand what said wrong, and what he really wants is a chance to talk calmly so he can both apologize for hurting your feelings, and so you can explain what went wrong so he can UNDERSTAND. The confusion about what goes wrong is like a kind of blindness, and he can’t stand it.
Azuma - Another one that’s impossible to ruffle or rile up. An argument might happen, and it might even end with “let’s take a day or two to calm down and think and meet up on Wednesday to talk” but even then there’s daily texts. Checking in, good morning, good night, hey let’s try this crepes place. He refuses to allow silence, because he knows what silence from loved ones is like, and he absolutely won’t stand for it. So the texts might be small and surface, but he will not relinquish contact with you. Not for anything.
