Pineapple Sushi 33+35

33. Baby Fic + 35. Bathtub Fic

We’ve been talking about this as a concept back and forth for awhile but, once I actually got to writing it, this came out quite a bit more morbid than I was expecting. Oh, and Kiragi’s a toddler instead of a baby. Anyway, here we go.

---

A light knock on the washroom’s door caused Lilith to look up from her book. The door creaked open and Takumi poked his head in. “Hey, Tik-Tak.” She greeted warmly.

“Hey, Blue Bi-uhhh, what are you doing?” He cut himself off when his eyes went to the book in her hands.

“Uh...reading?” The blue-and-red-haired woman responded.

“What about Kiragi?” The archer’s face creased in worry.

“Well,” Lilith began casually. “First I shampooed his hair, then I washed the rest of him. After that, I changed the water so he could splash around without getting soap in his eyes. Then, I guess he fell asleep.”

“What?! Fell asleep?!” All color drained from Takumi’s face and he darted over to small bathtub they’d had made for their son. Lilith stood and crossed the room to stand next to him. A pair of reddish-brown eyes looked up at the two of them.

“Huh, I guess he didn’t fall asleep.” Lilith thought out loud. “I should probably get him out, though. Dinner’s going to be soon and you know how he gets when he’s hungry.” She rolled up her sleeves and made sure she had a towel handy before she reached into the water to pick up her little boy. 

Kiragi began shivering the instant he left the water. “C-cowd!” He exclaimed.

“I know, I know.” Lilith cooed as she wrapped the towel around her son. “Let’s get you nice and dry and then you can wear some warm clothes, okay?” She brushed aside his hair - the same shade of blue as hers - and pressed a kiss to his forehead.

“O-otay...” He replied, teeth chattering.

The blue-and-red-haired woman looked to find her husband looking at her in complete disbelief. “What?” She asked nonchalantly.

“He...didn’t...drown?” Takumi asked, stupified. He held out his arms when Kiragi called for “papa” to take him and hold him against his shoulder. Kiragi quickly began to tug on various parts of his father’s spiky collar the moment it was in arms’ reach.

“Well, of course, he didn’t, you silly man!” Lilith pecked him on the cheek. “Silent Dragons can’t drown. Don’t tell me you forgot about the time Corrin hid from Azura at the bottom of a pond.”

27 LiliTaku

27 - Camp

“Lilith…” Takumi quietly called out into the night. He could just barely see the silhouette of his girlfriend’s head poking out of her bedroll by the light of the rapidly dying fire. “Lilith, are you awake?”

The draconic girl yawned and answered. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m here.” Her voice was tired but clear enough for him to know he didn’t wake her up.

“I just wanted to say that, um…” Was it just him or was his bedroll getting warmer? “You were great out there, today.” 

“…Huh?” There was a rustling noise. Likely her turning in her bedroll to face him.

“I’ve never seen anyone spot a rabbit from that far away before.” Takumi elaborated, awe clear in his voice. His thoughts drifted to how ruthless of a hunter she was earlier in the day.

Lilith snorted and then let out a long string of giggles. “You dummy. Did you forget that I’m an apex predator?”

“N-no! Not at all!” He very much so did. Even after all the times they fought side by side during the war, it was hard for him to see his cute, sweet, snarky girlfriend and the 900-pound dragon that so often fought at his side as one and the same.

Pineapple Sushi

Who is the most affectionate? Lilith. She’s even more attention-starved than Takumi is so she needs lots of cuddles.

Big spoon/Little spoon? Takumi is big spoon, Lilith is little spoon.

Most common argument? Probably Takumi having bouts of emotional unavailability.

Favorite non-sexual activity? Tie between shogi and hunting.

Who is most likely to carry the other? Takumi. Lilith’s better at carrying him than he is at carrying her. Dragon stronk.

What is their favorite feature of their partner’s? Non-sexually: Lilith thinks Takumi’s darkish eyes are dreamy. Takumi likes Lilith’s hands. They’re small and a combination of both soft and calloused. Sexually, Lilith likes his arms. Takumi is a leg man.

What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other? Lilith starts being really indecisive in whether or not she wants to spend all her time with him or keep her distance. Takumi becomes really mindful of when he’s being kinda prickly and is constantly admonishing himself for doing stuff to intentionally push people away (whether the intent is conscious or sub-conscious is case-by-case)

Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate? Lily or Blue Bird for Lilith. The first is just going off her name, the second is because she’s got a lot of blue going on and apparently the Fates cast thinks Lilith’s Astral Dragon form looks like a bird? Tik-Tak for Takumi. Again, going off his name.

Who worries the most? Takumi, despite any insistence otherwise.

Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant? Takumi, remembering that Lilith always orders the salmon (preferably over some type of pasta if available)

Who tops? Takumi and he’s real nervous about it. Mostly about hurting her.

Who initiates kisses? Lilith. She also has zero hangups about PDA.

Who reaches for the other’s hand first? Takumi. He really likes holding Lilith’s hand.

Who kisses the hardest? Takumi. Lilith loves it, even though it surprised her the first dozen times or so.

Who wakes up first? Lilith, on the occasions that Takumi actually sleeps all through the night instead of waking up with nightmares and is unable to fall back asleep.

Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer? Lilith

Who says I love you first? Lilith

Who leaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?) Takumi. The meat part of her lunch is usually something Takumi caught and the note is a little story of the hunt (if she wasn’t along for the ride)

Who tells their family/friends about their relationship first? Takumi collapses on a couch in one of Corrin’s office and regales him (and Leo, who was in the middle of a meeting with Corrin before Takumi barged in) with the tale of how he kissed her.

What do their family/friends think of their relationship? They both have a lot of friends and family so I’ll keep it brief and not mention everyone.

Lilith: Corrin and Azura are both happy for her, but Azura secretly worries if she’s up to the task of dealing with Takumi’s volatility. Elise is super happy and excited because now they can have “girl talk” and gossip about boys. The maid sisters are almost the happiest for her out of everyone but Elise exists. They always thought she seemed so lonely so knowing she has someone that close in her life eases their worries.

Takumi: Ryoma tells Takumi that he’s proud of how much he’s matured and that he can always come to him for relationship advice and it is incredibly awkward. Hinoka jokes that “who would fall for him” but then says she’s happy for him. Sakura is also happy for him but kinda worried because of any potential falling outs that may happen with Lilith if the two break up. Hinata is probably the happiest for Takumi out of everyone. Oboro is also happy…somewhat. She tries not to let her envy/unrequited love sully her view of either Takumi or Lilith.

Who is more likely to start dancing with the other? Takumi but only if they’re unquestionably alone. Lilith never had any sort of traditional royal court childhood so she’s untaught in the finer things like dancing or the arts so is kinda embarrassed about starting it herself, even if it’s just the two of them.

Who cooks more/who is better at cooking? As a hunter, Takumi puts great effort into marinating and smoking his catches. He makes really good bear jerky.

Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines? They have contests, going back and forth seeing who can say the cheesiest pickup line without interrupting themselves with laughter.

Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during inappropriate times? Lilith’s a prankster so she might if she’s feeling particularly mischievous. She’ll do it unironically in the middle of summer, where fertility is at its peak for dragons.

Who needs more assurance? About equal. Both are very traumatized and with a lot of hang-ups and emotional damage.

What would be their theme song? Shiver by Coldplay

Who would sing to their child back to sleep? Lilith absolutely loves being a mom and this is one of her favorite mom things to do. Takumi isn’t allowed to do it instead of her but, between being able to get more sleep and seeing how happy it makes her, he wouldn’t want to take this away from her.

What do they do when they’re away from each other? Takumi keeps little notes so he can tell her about everything that happened while they were apart. Lilith makes little doodles of animals she sees so she can tell Takumi about them. She also does little prayers before bed, hoping he’ll be able to sleep all the way through the night without her.

One headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart: Takumi is even more inconsolable than Corrin is when she dies in Birthright. Except, instead of breaking down crying, he’s crying while yelling about going on a murderous rampage and “paying those Nohrian bastards back in full for what they did to her.” At this point, Hans was already beaten in combat but not quite dead yet. Takumi just starts beating the shit out of him to the point where Oboro and Hinata have to pull him off him.

One headcanon about this OTP that mends it: Takumi being really worried about being a good dad before Kisaragi is born but then proceeds to be a really good dad to not one but four children. At some point in all this, Lilith tells him “See? Nothing to worry about.” before telling him that she’s pregnant again. Probably with their third or fourth child.

LiliKumi

Who said “I love you” first: Lilith

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background: Takumi. Lilith’s is both of them together

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror: Lilith. Takumi would forget his own head in the morning were it not attached to his neck.

Who buys the other cheesy gifts: Takumi doesn’t buy cheesy gifts so much as he does give Lilith a lot of furs.

Who initiated the first kiss: Takumi

Who kisses the other awake in the morning: Lilith. She’s an early riser.

Who starts tickle fights: Lilith. Takumi has learned the hard way that taking a dragon by surprise is a really bad idea, even if they’re in “human” form.

Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower: Lilith

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch: Lilith.

Who was nervous and shy on the first date: They both were. Takumi acted brash to try to cover up how nervous he was. Lilith was blushy and quiet.

Who kills/takes out the spiders: Takumi kills them, Lilith takes them outside.

Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk: If she were actually capable of getting drunk, it would be Lilith. She’ll slowly get herself worked up over the course of about five minutes before she starts crying because she misses him. Takumi could be gone for literally ten minutes and she’d still end up like that.

🖊 Pineapple Sushi kids

Ah, yes. Time to finally reveal these rascals. If I had the foresight to bring my sketchbook with me to Ohio, maybe I would have finally done some concept art after getting this. This is going to be in bullet point format since I don’t feel like doing my ultra flowing descriptions.

Other relevant ships in these following headcanons are Azurrin and LeoSaku. Anything left unspecified is left to reader interpretation because I…kind of don’t give a shit about, like, 60% of the Nohrian and Hoshidan royals. 

Lilith-specific Kiragi headcanons + General Headcanons

Kiragi has Lilith’s hair without the fade to red

Excited to be a big brother. Kind of reckless so he’s not a very good influence but he’s so kind and earnest that it kind of balances out

As a consequence of being a dragon, Lilith!Kiragi is a lot testier and more stubborn than any other possible version of himself but those are by no means defining personality traits.

All very close in age. Kiragi is 2 years older than Tabitha who’s 3 years older than Suzanoh who’s 1 year older than Yoru

Everyone has Valla Prince(ss) (which is functionally identical to Nohr Prince(ss)) and its promotion Valla Noble (Swords, Dragonstones, & Lances) as their reclass option

Tabitha (2nd oldest)

She’s short. Very short. Like, shorter than me short, which is short as hell.

Has pinkish-red hair, like a combination of Aunt Sakura and Aunt Hinoka.

Has gold eyes like Lilith

Tends to be a worrywart and feels responsible for keeping her brothers out of trouble

Better at wrangling her idiot brothers than most people (only people better are their parents and Uncle Corrin)

Very much a bookworm and loves learning. 

Those last two things combined make her Uncle Leo’s favorite. 

Good leadership skills. Looks up to Uncle Corrin and Aunt Azura a lot, more than her brothers with the former.

Dark Mage is her default class (except her outfit’s actually sensible) and Dark Knight is her canon promotion

Out-of-universe naming convention was wanting something Biblical/Abrahamic to go along with Lilith

No in-universe naming convention yet

Suzanoh (3rd oldest)

The tallest. Not saying much as his parents are both pretty short but he’s at least taller than both of them and his siblings.

Dark brown hair like Uncle Ryoma and his paternal grandfather

Also has gold eyes like Lilith

Super serious on the outside. Developed a “no nonsense” personality even as a child

Frequent urge to cause mischief despite being so serious

A more subtle troll you will never meet

Really good with numbers and logical thinking. Good with tactics and logistics.

Monk is his default class and Great Master is his canon promotion

In-universe naming convention is after one of Takumi’s ancestors, the namesake of the Great Wall of Suzanoh

Out-of-universe naming convention is after Susanoo, the Shinto storm god

Yoru (Youngest) (aside from some Silver Scale OCs, he’s my most developed OC by no small margin)

Is also short, but taller than his sister

Platinum blonde/near white hair like Uncle Corrin

Has brown eyes like Takumi

Is a total Mama’s Boy

Very quiet and introverted. Even in the company of people he’s close to, he can go literal hours without saying a word.

Very timid. Scared of pretty much everything. Grows out of his fear eventually but he’s still a bit timid as a teenager/adult

Oddly enough, despite being afraid of so many things, he really likes bugs.

Looks up to Aunt Azura more than his siblings.

Takes singing lessons from Aunt Azura but she’s one of the handful of people he’ll actually let hear his singing 

Ridiculously high emotional intelligence and is really good at helping other people with their emotional problems.

Is a non-combatant. But, hypothetically, his default class would be Ninja and Master Ninja would be his canon promotion.

In-universe naming convention is that he was born in the middle of the night under a full moon and Lilith wanted his name to be symbolic of that

Out-of-universe naming convention is that Yoru means night.

This started out as a crackship and now I ship it seriously. I blame you.

20 LiliTaku

20 - “mom”

This is more Lilith and Corrin talking but Takumi’s definitely mentioned.

“You’re pregnant again?” Corrin asked, dumbfounded. He shakily set his teacup down, unsure if he could trust himself to not spill it.

“Takumi did say he wanted a big family.” Lilith replied nonchalantly between taking bites of the cookie in her hand.

“But Susanoo’s barely 6 months old!” Corrin blurted out. 

“I know what I’m getting into.” Lilith’s unconcerned attitude continued. “Besides, I have more experience with children than you do, at this point.” She gives her brother a smug look from over the rim of her teacup.
