Ren Amamiya:
He knew about your little gaming adventure the moment you asked him if he could help install an emulator on your (frankly, dying) laptop.
He had to stare at the reddit post on how to download a game that hadn't even been released yet. He was a tiny bit confused, if you wanted the game that badly, then he wouldn't mind dropping a couple yen to buy it for you.
But then came the 'Switch 2' problem. And how lags would be less prominent if you buy a whole new console. So he was more than happy to pirate the game for you.
And after restless nights (it took him like, thirty minutes at best), he's filling his boredom by staring at you get whisked away in yet another cozy world-building game!
That was before he found that that the Tomodachi's don't really do much half the time. And the fact that you only have time to play quite late at night. Eventually he just leaves you to it, only checking in on your creativeness every once in a while.
About a week has passed, and you were once again laying on his bed. Your laptop in front of you on his mattress, and a controller in your hands.
And wow were you in the zone. Bubbly sound effects flooding the attic while he tinkers away in his workbench. The occasional robotic voice saying the most ridiculous thing would make him chuckle every once in a while.
An hour passed, maybe three. And he was finally done making the hundredth lock pick, setting it all down in one pile by the side. He turned his chair around, met with you laying on your stomach, flat on his bed. Your focused eyes staring intently at your screen. You haven't been talking at all within those three hours.
He let himself get a bit curious. Standing up and making his way towards you. You didn't even notice how close he was before you felt a heavy weight land right on top of you. The front of his body pressed right against your back.
Instinctively, you brought your hand up to his face, ruffling through his hair, you pulled away right when he started to lean into your touch. He's gone way too long without your attention, and it was making him a little bit hungry.
"You busy?" He murmured softly. Tired eyes shut, avoiding the brightness of your screen. You nodded lazily. "Super busy."
"Yeah?" He asked you, amused. Leaning his head further into the top of yours.
"Mhm." You nodded. He heard a few buttons being pressed again, before he felt a nudge on his cheek, opening his eyes to your finger poking his face.
"Look." You told him gently, voice showing to be just a little bit lethargic. "Look what I made." Though, the enthusiasm was still there. Much like a child wanting to show their friends their drawings.
His hands slid down to your hips. Squinting and trying his best to focus his gaze onto your screen. What he saw was absolutely adorable.
"Is that me?" He said as he saw the very cute version of him. His mii had a shiny whites in his eyes, and you drew his messy hair perfectly. A few strands coming out here and there. His glasses being the exact frame that he was using right now.
You nodded enthusiastically, admiring your creation.
"It's cute." He states, a smile already forming on his face.
"Cute?" You said in mock offence. "He is absolutely adorable!" You said defensively. "Look at him!" You pointed straight at him, who had suddenly stopped in the middle of the road to play with the maracas that you gifted him.
"He's.." a bit stupid, he fears. "I'm much better."
You rolled your eyes at him, "yeah but, I don't see you calling me 'the chosen one,' now do I?" You burst out laughing when you were met with his dumbfounded face.
You took an item from your inventory, grabbing the greatest looking item you could find. Before dropping it on his lap. "Okay, now watch."
And he did. He watched as that mini version of him danced around once again, jumping up and down while flowers flew out of his head. 'Wow! Thank you, The Chosen One.'
It was either the name he called you, or the funky robot voice that he put one. But Ren -- the real one-- started to burst out laughing. Dropping his head to the crook of your shoulder and smiling impossible wide.
"See." You said plainly. Giving his mii little head pats. "You should start calling me that if you want the attention I gave mini you."
"Okay, first of all, I do not sound like that." He started to tap on your screen, clawing at that stupidly cute guy. "And second of all, dear Chosen One.."
To which you smiled in a form of ego boosting. "I would not react that happily if someone gave me a box of tissues."
The both of you shared a laugh once again. "Then I guess I'll just have to replace you.
He laid his head back down on you. "Absolutely not."

Ryuji Sakamoto:
Have you ever read 'If you give a mouse a cookie'?
Well, if you give Ryuji the endless power of creating his own world where he's able to make anything, and make them say anything, and make them call you anything, and can name them anything. Then you can already guess where this went.
It's just chaos. Utter and complete chaos. You enjoy a little drama in your island, but dear god. Ryuji's file was just full and full of some next level soap opera bullshit.
"And then, Tung Tung started crushing on you after the both of you started talking about 'rizzing up the huzz.'"
It was concerning how he was still excited while talking about something so stupid. And just the fact that it was him talking about it, did make it a teensy bit funny.
"And I kept on telling you that talking to him was a horrible idea, but then you totally defied me! Which y'know, is totally whatever I guess because you have your own rights and you have the right to make your own decision--"
"-- and because my character is literally just a character." You cut him off. "And also, you made fucking tung tung sahur in your file, I don't think you have any right to complain."
He narrowed his eyes suspiciously. Staring right at your screen.
"Hey.. you and I are dating in your island, right?"
You paused, trying your best to subtly hide your device from his eyesight. "Yep!"
Yeah, he knew you were lying. And you knew he knew, especially with that loud ass dramatic gasp that escaped him. Causing you to roll your eyes in annoyance.
"You're cheating on me now??" He slams his hand over his heart in disbelief.
"No!" You tried to stifle a laugh, "now why would I do that?? That's sooo ridiculous I would never!" You exclaimed theatrically. Hurriedly attempting to exit out of your game.
"Show me, then." He quirked an eyebrow at you. Both hands now on his hips as he looked at you suspectingly. Slowly making his way towards you. You scurry to exit the game entirely.
Ryuji looked like a spider in the corner of your room. Practically crawling towards you, eyes narrow and locked on your face. Your face that was very obviously stiffling a laugh.
"Oh nooo." You mumbled weakly. "I accidentally deleted it, whoo--"
Without warning, he jumped on top of you. Landing right on top of your torso. Scrambling to grab the console away from your arms.
"Hey!" Kicking your feet on the mattress, using all of your might to try and shove him off, but to no avail.
"Ya' can't even delete the file ya' dimwit." His grin impossibly wide on his face. Managing to grab it off of you. All while you remained laughing.
"What the hell!?" He yelled out the moment he saw your characters. "You're pullin' on my balls aren't ya??" He turns it towards you. "Gojo??"
By this point, you were already laughing hysterically.
"You married Gojo?"
"I didn't marry no one! These things have a mind of it's own!" You pointed at the game accusingly.
He scoffs in disbelief, "first you cheat on me in my island, and then you cheat on me in your island?? To Geto's boyfriend no less?" He shakes his head. "Love really is dead." He sighs.
You hit him on the chest. "Oh my god Ryuji, you're soooo dramatic." You say that, but you're having so much fun right now it's ridiculous.
"You know what." He unlocks your device, devilishly eyeing your island with that grin that told you how he was up to something. "I'm making you and him related."
"Nooo."
"Matter of fact, you're related to everyone except for me."

Yusuke Kitagawa:
You insisted that he play it with you. Telling him that the amount of creative freedom and customisation would make him explode in happiness.
However, he's not much of a fan when it comes to digital art.. especially on his barely put together laptop since you insisted that he shouldn't have to waste nine thousand yen on a whole new switch, and then spend a couple more yen on the actual game. .
And every time you asked, he shook his head. "I'll paint many, and many portraits of you, dear. Why would I need to draw you on a video game?"
Yet you persisted. Begging him to just play with you for ten minutes. And then he can continue to do whatever it was that he was doing (he was already drawing to begin with).
Finally, he reluctantly agrees. Clumsily using your trackpad and pressing a little bit too hard in the middle of the square.
"This is horrible!" He grumbled in annoyance. Moving his finger up, then down, then back up once again. "There's no blending in this, no cross shading or glazes-- how is this game so well-known amongst people our age?"
You found it adorable, really. Such a serious artistic boy was so serious about a silly little game. "Yusuke, it's famous because of the simple drawing mechanic."
You tapped on his shoulder, grabbing the controller from him and moving to your item inventory. "Look! I made pot gummies!"
He just stared at you.
"And then I made a pack of Marlboro's. And then a good can of beer. And then-- and I'm really proud of this one--" you spoke as you scrolled through the list. Yusuke only sighing in disbelief as you went on. "An ipad with Ao3 on it."
He began to stand up from his chair.
"Nonono." Grabbing him by the shoulders and forcing him back down. "You are going to make something, and you are going to enjoy it." Pointing at him angrily.
He sighed once again. "It's no use to, I can easily bring in my canvases and paints and I'll make something so beautiful that it could never compare to that digitally made portraits."
You nodded along animatedly, "uh-huh, uh-huh. But what if I told you." Scrolling through the menu and clicking on the 'Residents' button. "You can draw people."
"But it's difficult to draw on this mouse-like thing." Pointing at your trackpad. A sad pout forming on your face.
"Well, lucky for you, I have a nice, new drawing tablet." Opening your drawer and pulling it out.
You watched as he merely stared at the screen. The typical and basic default mii staring back at him.
"So then.. I can draw anyone, yes?"
You nodded once again.
"Alright then," he turned his neck slowly towards you. "I will ask you to stay right beside me, if I want to embody your very essence towards this singular, small portrait."

Goro Akechi:
"Remind me what these things are for, again?" Akechi eyed down the fugly mii of him that you made. Cringing when he saw that mini version of him do a little dance that he would never do. "They aren't even accurate."
You rolled your eyes, "well duh. They're literally small tomodachi's, they're way too stupid to be accurate." You gave the mini Akechi a tuna fish.
The real Akechi's eyes widened, perhaps in frustration. "He's jumping up and down from a fish! That's nothing that I'll ever do." His hands landed on his hips angrily. Absolutely scowling at the blushing.. thing.. who had flowers floating around it's head.
"It's not even a type worth fawning over for god's sake!"
Snickering over his dramatic flair. "It's either that or you get a box of tissues."
"Do not refer to it as something that's on par with me." His head snapped to meet your eyes. Offence very clearly plastered on his face. "That thing is not me, it wishes that it was, but it's not."
"Hey now, he has a name, y'know." You moved your controller to click on him, dragging him to another avatar that looked a tad bit familiar. "Maybe this Akechi is a little bit nicer to Y/n." You emphasised by landing him down to that smaller version of you.
He rolled his eyes. "Ridiculous." He muttered. Moving his head away from your screen. "Such a meaningless game." He was truly about to make his way out. Truly.
But when he heard your giggles and feet kicking, he couldn't help but grow curious. Peeking a slither of his eye to catch a glimpse of what you were giggling to.
And of course, it was of a scene of mii Akechi confessing his love to mii you.
"Y/n. I would like to spend the remainder of my life with you!" The annoying, grating robot voice of little him was piercing through his skull.
"Oh, Akechi, I would love to spend the remainder of my life with you as well."
First off, your voice was a lot better than that. And second of all, his actual confession was a lot more romantic than whatever the hell that was. Could the mii set up a picnic on an apartment rooftop with fairy lights and a tent? Yeah, he didn't think so.
He scoffed at the image of mii him and mii you walking off together.
"Aren't we just so cute?" You gushed, showing him the screen from your hands.
"No." He answered bluntly, "we." Pointing at the space between the both of you. "Are much cuter."
You opened your mouth, closed it, then opened it again. Searching your mind for something to say about how he was acting.
He noticed immediately. "You have something you need to say, I presume?"
"Babe.." you were on the verge of bursting out laughing. "Are you..." setting your controller down. "Jealous of my game?"
He stammered. "No! That's ridiculous. Why would I be jealous of the game I paid for." He raised his voice louder.
“I literally pirated this.”
“Well— I boguht you the controller.”
“It was like, second hand for 5,000 yen.”
An embarrassed flush creeping up his ears. "I'm leaving." He made his way to the door.
"Good bye." Shutting the door behind him as he left the room. With his cheeks heat up and all pink.
