Rintori Week 2017 Day 1: Childhood or and Future First part is essentially Rintori trought the two series. The second part is a mix of my various headcanon: - Rin go to Australia for training - They have a long distance relationship - They skype A LOT but isn’t enough - During his second year at university Ai decided to go to Australia - They live together in Sidney - Rin realizes his dream to go to the Olympics - After that Ai and Rin got married - Years after they adopt a child - And eventually they come back in Japan.

Headcanons about Ai’s family
RinTori Week 2017 Day 5: FRIENDS or FAMILY
We know nothing about Ai’s family, but I have had strong headcanons about it for a while now! Aaaand as a huge RinTori shipper, I’ve also imagined how Rin fits in. Feel free to discuss these with me if you’d like.
The family
parents are still together
one older sister, no brothers (Ai’s name translates to first son of love)
a dog
both pregnancies were highly expected and appreciated
warm and loving people
…of course there’s some bickering too, tho
can get a bit too caring (read: nosy), which frustrates Ai sometimes
like ZERO PRIVACY
not super rich but wealthy enough to send their son to Samezuka High
they all try to eat dinner together as often as they can
everyone calls Ai by his full first name (which means the nickname Rin uses feels extra special to him)
Mother
the most loving mother in the world
Ai shares a lot of her facial features and her hair color
keeps reminding Ai about the importance of valuing oneself
worries a lot and has perhaps coddled Ai a little bit too much, hence Ai’s tendency to be shy and get scared easily
but Ai has recently started acting more independent, not wanting to bother her with his problems because he knows she would worry too much
was a bit worried about Ai starting competitive swimming at first because “honey, I just don’t see you as a competitive person, are you sure about this?”
still cheers Ai on and is immensely and loudly proud of him
…sometimes to the point of being embarrassing
was endlessly happy to hear about Rin because “oh I’m so happy you’ve found someone you love”
like, really, really happy, crying-tears-of-joy happy
immediately tells Rin to call her okaasan/mother
Rin is a bit intimidated by her at first because she talks a LOT
but Rin gets used to her bubbly personality soon, partly because it reminds him of how Ai acts when he’s in talkative mood
Rin doesn’t even realize it when he eventually starts calling her okaasan/mother
Father
calm, laid-back nature
but can also be strict and a bit scary when he doesn’t like something
supportive of Ai’s swimming, has also done sports when he was younger
tall-ish and traditionally masculine
but has never tried to force Ai to be manly in the way he is
didn’t even blink at the “dad, I think I’m gay” talk with Ai
has taught Ai to never suppress his feelings because feelings are good
Ai acts a lot like his father when he becomes the captain
at first Rin finds it hard to talk about anything else except swimming with him
but they end up in surprisingly close terms, they like hanging out
Rin subconsciously sees him as a father figure
Sister
three years older than Ai
they don’t look that much alike, as she takes after their father while Ai takes after their mother
except for the hair color, they both have their mother’s hair
more independent and loud by nature than Ai; the sass master of the household
she used to be really protective of Ai when they were kids because Ai was very shy and would easily get teased by other kids
now that he’s older, they tend to bicker often because Ai wants to be independent and doesn’t always appreciate the way she “just shows she cares”
…meaning she lovingly teases Ai a lot; her favourite subject is cute boys because it gets him flustered
but in all seriousness, if anyone actually bullied Ai she’d kick their asses in a second
tells Rin to treat Ai nicely OR ELSE
never skips a chance to remind them to use a condom
which Ai gets really embarrassed about at first and scolds her for butting into their business, which she only laughs at
but she keeps doing it until the boys just learn to ignore it
(although Rin totally asks her to lend him a condom once when he forgets to buy some; he does it secretly from Ai though because the poor boy would probably die of embarrassment if he knew)
The dog
a female brindle cairn terrier
a very terrier-like personality; brisk and bright
was adopted to the family around when Ai was three, so she played a big part in Ai’s childhood
has always been closer to Ai than to anyone else in the family
…which makes Ai sad about missing out on spending time with her while he’s away in high school
always runs to greet Ai first when he visits home
in the back of his mind, Ai is constantly worried because the dog is eventually aging while he’s gone and he dreads the day he’ll have to go home without seeing her there

Summary: Rin and Ai are finally together, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still idiots who think about erections too much. Sequel to my rintori week 2016 fic, Ai, That’s Gay.

The Coming of Summer, Day 1
@rintoriweek-2017
Day 1 - Childhood // Future
There was a place, just barely inside the castle grounds, where the prince would go whenever he didn’t want to be found. The first time he’d gone, the palace had broken into an uproar searching for him, until he showed up still sniffling and angry, for dinner. He’d earned a scolding and a week’s confinement to the castle walls, but his hiding place had remained a secret. Years and years and lifetimes disguised as years later, there was only one person who had ever found him.
“Thought you might be here.” The branches that covered the little entrance to the bower lifted aside and a knight came crawling through, his livery bright in the gloom under the branches. The prince didn’t answer. “C’mere, Ai,” said the knight, opening his arms.
Aiichirou crawled across the space that had seemed so much bigger the first time he’d found it, climbing into Rin’s lap and closing his eyes as arms wrapped around him and pulled him close. He allowed himself the tears he had kept stifled since the conversation with his mother that morning. “Rin, I-” he sobbed. Rin shushed him gently with a kiss or seven peppered across the crown of his head.
“I know,” he said. “The captain briefed me a few minutes ago. It’s going to be okay.”
“How?” Aiichirou wailed. “How is any of this going to be okay?”
“The same way it always is,” Rin replied. “I’m going to see you through it.” When Aiichirou didn’t answer, Rin sighed and reached up to pluck a barely-formed flowerbud from the branch above them. He held it in front of Ai with a smile. “Remember the first time I found you here?” he asked.
Aiichirou sniffed and accepted the bud with a smile of his own. “That was the day I asked my father to assign you to me,” he said.
“When they bloom, I’ll make you another crown. And you can preserve it and keep it in your weird little collection, and every time you look at it you can remember that I will always be your most loyal subject.” Aiichirou closed his eyes and hummed under his breath. A pale blue light and the scent of rain filled the little bower. When it faded away, Aiichirou held a single, perfect bloom in the palm of his hand. He sat up on his knees and tucked it into Rin’s hair.
“I don’t want a subject,” he said seriously. There were dried tears on his cheeks and pine needles in his hair and the truth of who and what he was hung heavy across his shoulders. “I have thousands of subjects. The future will come when it comes, but in the meantime, let me pretend.”
So he did. Rin let Aiichirou pretend there were no physicians, no advisers calling for political unions, no throne waiting for its next occupant. In the bower on the edge of the palace grounds, they pretended they had all the time in the world.
RinTori Week 2017 @rintoriweek-2017 Day 3: POLICE OFFICER & PHANTOM THIEF or PRINCE & KNIGHT
The first batch of the amazing pictures we got last weekend in Popcult Helsinki! I’ve cosplayed Ai many times before but now my OTP dreams came true as I finally had Rin-senpai as my companion. ♥
We got to photoshoot in an actual former prison, which was an incredible location!!! Stay tuned for more, we will probably spam a lot.
