sano “mikey” manjiro
mikey was ranked one of the top three worst boyfriends and husbands for a reason
he forgot dates, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
mikey didn’t even realize that he had forgotten your anniversary until he got home and saw you waiting for him with dinner on the table
you were wearing that black dress that he really liked and had even spent an hour working on your makeup
you refused to speak a word to mikey that night and slept with your back turned to him, which was how he knew that you were really angry
you woke up the next morning to the sound of the fire alarm ringing and the smell of burnt toast
“mikey, what are you doing?” you asked tiredly
with a nervous smile, mikey told you that he was trying to cook you breakfast as a form of apology for missing dinner and forgetting about your anniversary
although you were still angry at him, you could tell that mikey was being sincere, and you eventually forgave him
the following week, mikey took you out to your favourite restaurant for a proper anniversary date
ryuguji “draken” ken
draken only forgot about your anniversary because he was really busy with work
it was actually inui who reminded draken of his anniversary with you
“hey, draken. isn’t today your anniversary with your girlfriend?”
realizing that inui was right, on his way home, draken panickingly drove to the nearest flower shop and ordered their most expensive and extravagant bouquet
he also stopped by your favourite bakery and bought you your favourite dessert before hurrying home
“babe, i’m so sorry i forgot about our anniversary! you know that i’d never forget unless-”
“unless you were busy?” you guessed with a slight chuckle. “yeah, i kind of figured. no worries, i’m not angry or anything. we can go on a date this weekend or something”
hearing this, draken sighed in relief before giving over your bouquet and dessert
“babe, you’re the best,” was all that draken said before he kissed you
mitsuya takashi
impossible
mitsuya would never forget about your anniversary
but if he somehow did forget, he would immediately try to fix this problem
the moment you got home from work, mitsuya wished you a happy anniversary before telling you to get ready for dinner reservations
because everything was so last minute, he had called in a favour with the twins to book a table at their ramen shop
he told them to decorate the table to the best of their abilities, much to smiley’s annoyance
surprisingly, the table was beautifully decorated with flowers and string lights
your anniversary date went by perfectly, and you and mitsuya shared some mochi ice-cream for dessert while enjoying one another’s company
a few days later, mitsuya gifted you a handmade scarf as an anniversary present after he had remembered you talking about how cold it could get on your commute to work
summary — you have always been jealous of emma, and now you know it was with good reason

The apartment was in complete disarray. Broken picture frames that showed a once happy couple now hazardously decorated the floor, and the living room’s coffee table had been violently overturned sometime during the fight. You didn’t know how this argument started, but insults and pointed remarks were carelessly being thrown back and forth with no regard for the feelings they hurt.
You stood there in absolute anger as you stared at Draken with a matching glare. He had never looked at you with such harshness in his eyes before, and for once in your relationship, you felt nothing but contempt for the man standing across from you. This wasn’t the man you fell in love with. You wanted to believe he was only a stranger wearing the mask of your loving boyfriend.
“Why are you acting like this?! I already told you that I’m not cheating on you! I’ve just been busy at the shop!”
“You really expect me to believe you after weeks of cancelling dates and not properly answering my texts or calls?!” you shouted in disbelief, the sound of your own voice grating and unpleasant to listen to after all your previous screaming. “S-stop lying to me! Just tell me the truth! I thought you said you loved me!”
Draken’s response was immediate, and there was no hesitation in his voice. “I do love you, Emma!”
The sound of her name rang out clearly and tauntingly. You froze, staring at Draken in shock as whatever feelings of anger and resentment you had in that moment quickly dissolved, leaving you confronted with a somber realization. Emma, Emma, Emma. Her name kept repeating in your mind like a broken record player. Emma, the name of the wonderful person that you never got to meet. Emma, the name of Mikey’s sister and someone that you had always been subconsciously jealous of. Emma, the name of Draken’s first love.
You remembered when you had been first introduced to Draken’s friends. You recalled Mikey’s cold, judgemental glares and the looks of sympathy that Mitsuya would send your way when he thought that you wouldn’t notice. You had initially been confused by all of this, but you still put on your best smile whenever you greeted your boyfriend’s friends. After all, you wanted them to like you. It was only after you had unintentionally listened in on one of their conversations that you learned the reason for Mikey and Mitsuya’s odd behaviour.
“Who the hell does she think she is? Ken-chin was supposed to be with Emma, not her!”
“I know, but it’s not her fault, so stop acting this way, Mikey. Besides, Emma would’ve wanted Draken to be happy.”
“I know, it’s just-”
“I know, I know. I miss her, too.”
When you had eventually asked your boyfriend about who this Emma person was, you were taken aback by the subtle yet sincere smile on Draken’s face as he went on to explain who Emma was. Emma was Mikey’s younger sister that had tragically died during one of Toman’s conflicts with another gang. As you continued to listen, you were surprised by how Draken spoke about Emma with such wistfulness in his voice and expression. From that day on, he would always reminisce about Emma. And while you tried to convince yourself that it was fine because she was a beloved friend, you still couldn’t stop your heart from hurting every time you saw the genuine adoration and love in your boyfriend’s eyes as he spoke about another woman.
“I remember how Emma, Mikey, and I would always go to this crêpe shop.”
“Oh, I got that for Emma’s birthday once.”
“Women like this kind of jewellery, right? That’s what Emma used to tell me.”
Emma. It was always Emma. The more she was mentioned and talked about, the more you began to resent this person that you had never even met before. It was unfair, but you hated her. Were you not good enough? Were you just a replacement for Emma? Did Draken ever truly love you? These questions and thoughts always floated about in your mind and taunted you, and today you finally got your answer.
Locking your arms around yourself in a comforting manner, you were no longer able to meet Draken’s gaze as he quickly realized what he had just said. When he tried to reach for you, he was only met with the heartbreaking reaction of you immediately taking a step away from him.
“I think we need a break,” you tearfully declared, trying your best to keep from breaking down. “I don’t know if I can continue with this relationship anymore.”
With that last sorrowful remark, you hastily left Draken’s apartment without another word, leaving him to contemplate over his absolutely stupid mistake. Once you were gone, he let out a scream of anger before violently kicking the coffee table once more. Why? Why did he have to be such an idiot?! Why did he even say Emma’s name?! Tired and unable to care for anything anymore, Draken fell to the floor.
“Today wasn’t supposed to be like this,” Draken mumbled, tears falling down his face as he retrieved an engagement ring from his pocket, the very same ring he had been working so hard to save up for. Today was supposed to be the day he finally asked you to marry him.
Did he love you? More than anything, Draken loved you. He loved you so much that it sometimes hurt to even think of his life without you. He loved you, and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you, but you didn’t know this. And maybe you never would.

hanma shuuji
after weeks of trying to convince your boyfriend to meet your parents, you and hanma were now standing in front of your parent’s house after having been invited over for dinner
you were understandably nervous, and you couldn’t help but throw a worried glance at your unusually calm and quiet boyfriend
despite hanma not caring about what your parents thought of him, you still wanted your parents to like your boyfriend
yet before your anxious thoughts could spiral out of control, you felt hanma gently take a hold of your hand
“stop worrying, we’ll be fine,” he said while sounding uncharacteristically serious and resolute, and you had no other choice than to believe in his words
dinner with your parents was surprisingly uneventful, with hanma perfectly acting the role of the ordinary boyfriend
it wasn’t until your parents began asking questions that you started to feel cautious and wary, unsure of how hanma would respond
“so, what are your plans for the future, hanma-kun,” your mother questioned with a stern look on her face, trying to test him
“i don’t really know, ma’am,” hanma answered truthfully, ignoring the unreadable expression that she was now sending him
“well, that’s unfortunate-”
“but i do see your daughter being a part of my future, so i don’t intend to let her go,” your boyfriend continued, shooting your parents a subtle smirk. “no matter what anyone says”
it took a moment before your parents began to chuckle in amusement, and your mother turned to look at you with an impressed smile
“i think you found yourself a fine young man, darling”
“i think so, too,” you replied happily
mitsuya takashi
when you had finally decided to introduce mitsuya to your parents, you knew that you didn’t have to worry about your parents not liking him
after all, mitsuya was a kind, respectable, polite, and caring boyfriend, and you often joked that he was perfect husband material
he always remembered your birthday, dates, and anniversaries, bought you presents that reminded him of you, and made you genuinely happy
you were certain that your parents would like mitsuya, but you didn’t think that they would be so easily won over by him
somehow, over the time frame of one meeting, mitsuya had inexplicably charmed both your parents
they were constantly complimenting him and asking him questions about himself, and you were starting to think that your parents liked your boyfriend more than you, their own daughter
“mitsuya-kun, have some more food. i don’t want you leaving this house hungry,” your mother insisted
“and tell us more about your future plans. you said that you wanted to become a fashion designer, correct?” your father asked with a curious smile. “isn’t that a difficult career path?”
“i don’t think so, sir. i believe in myself and my abilities,” mitsuya explained thoughtfully before shooting an adoring smile in your direction. “besides, how can i fail when i have my beautiful muse right next to me?”
mitsuya’s response was simple yet romantically heartfelt, and it had your parents falling for his charms once more
you later left your parent’s house with a cheerful smile on your face, happy to know that your parents approved of your boyfriend
ryuguji “draken” ken
when your parents had asked to meet your boyfriend, you were somewhat apprehensive about their request
your parents were rather traditional people, and it was clear from your boyfriend’s appearance and fashion sense that he was the complete opposite of traditional
you were worried that your parents wouldn’t like him, that they would force you to break up with draken
you were honestly expecting dinner with your parents to be a complete disaster, and draken had to constantly reassure you that everything would be fine
the second you and draken stepped into your parent’s house, your parents were already glaring at your boyfriend despite his polite greetings and accompanying gift basket
conversations were initially dull and monotone, but your parents quickly realized that they were wrong about draken, and they soon began to laugh along to his humorous jokes and stories
seeing your normally reserved parents laugh like this, you supposed that your boyfriend was right to think that the two of you would be fine
“draken-kun, was it?” your father asked with an apologetic smile. “i must say, my wife and i were rather judgmental of you when you first showed up at our door. we now see that we were wrong, so we want to apologize for our earlier rudeness”
“yes, my apologies, draken-kun,” your mother agreed with a solemn nod. “you’re quite the respectable young man. thank you for being there for our daughter and supporting her when we cannot”
“yeah, i’ll always be there for her,” draken declared sincerely, lacing your fingers together from underneath the table. “she’s my whole world”
and as you tried to fight back the flustered smile that threatened to appear on your face, your parents both knew that they had nothing to worry about in regard to your relationship with draken

ryugiji “draken” ken
“how long do we have to wait for?” your boyfriend asked tiredly, staring at the time from his seat at the table
“about five minutes,” you mused from the seat next to him
“wake me up in five minutes, then,” draken requested, sleepily placing his head onto his arms before quickly falling asleep
you could only chuckle as you silently agreed, lovingly gazing at your attractive boyfriend as you waited for the timer to ring
the more you stared at him, the more you started to notice and admire his sharp, handsome features and subtle imperfections
“i love you, ken,” you mumbled, leaning down to kiss draken when he suddenly awoke in confusion
“what the hell’s burning?”
it took you a few seconds before you processed his words and realized what was happening
“the apple pie!” you shouted, about to run to the oven when draken protectively stepped in front of you and made his way over to the kitchen
“you forgot the timer, didn’t you?” your boyfriend stated more than asked, cautiously throwing the apple pie that was currently on fire into the sink and extinguishing it
your apologetic smile was the only answer draken needed, making him sigh in exasperation as he turned to you with a glare
“you’re so lucky that i love you,” draken remarked, sighing once again as he got his keys from his pocket. “all right, let’s go buy something from that bakery that you like so much”
draken had no time to react as you unexpectedly wrapped your arms around him, staring up at your boyfriend with a cheerful smile
“i love you, too,” you happily responded
“yeah, yeah,” draken replied, a light blush and amused smile on his face
matsuno chifuyu
“chifuyu, how much salt did you add?” you asked your boyfriend as you pushed away the plate of chocolate chip cookies in disgust
“a teaspoon like you told me to,” chifuyu answered with a disappointed frown. “i-i don’t know where we went wrong”
mirroring this sentiment, you could do nothing but sigh as you helped chifuyu clear the kitchen and put away various baking ingredients
once you were finished, you couldn’t help but glance at your disheartened boyfriend as he washed the dough-covered bowls and spoons from today’s failed baking attempt
“what’s wrong, chifuyu?” you asked gently, locking your arms around his waist and placing your head on his back in a reassuring manner
“nothing. just feels like i wasted your time,” he mumbled in frustration. “it was my idea to bake cookies, too. took us an entire hour, and i ruined them”
“chifuyu, we could be staring at a wall all day, and i’d still have a good time because i’m with you”
“who are you, me?” chifuyu playfully scoffed in response to your awful flirting
you decided to ignore your boyfriend’s teasing, humming a random song as you waited for him to finish washing the dishes
“damn teaspoon, where did i go wrong?” chifuyu questioned quietly, indignantly glaring at the offending spoon in his hand
looking over his shoulder, your initial confusion was soon replaced with sudden understanding and total amusement
“chifuyu, that’s a tablespoon,” you explained while trying not to laugh
“yeah, i know. isn’t teaspoon short for tablespoon?”
“chifuyu, it’s teaspoon as in t-e-a, not the single letter”
“oh,” was your boyfriend’s flustered response as you began to loudly giggle, no longer able to contain your laughter. “well, that explains a lot”
mitsuya takashi
“wow!” luna and mana remarked, their eyes completely focused on the plate of colourful macarons on the dining room table
seeing this, you couldn’t help but chuckle as you assembled the remaining few macarons that you and mitsuya had been working on before he left to finish cooking dinner
“nee-chan,” mana quietly spoke from the chair beside you. “when can we eat the macarons?”
“after dinner,” mitsuya immediately replied from the kitchen. “i don’t want you three ruining your appetites. dinner should be ready soon, anyway”
“after dinner,” you repeated with a smile, shooting your boyfriend a look of amusement
“okay!” the two girls agreed, patiently waiting for their brother to finish cooking as you put away the plate of macarons for later
“you know, nee-chan. i’ve noticed that nii-chan only makes fancy dinners and desserts whenever you come over to visit,” luna mused absentmindedly, failing to notice the subtle look of panic that was now present on mitsuya’s face
“r-really?” you asked in total surprise, glancing over at your blushing boyfriend
“does that mean if nii-chan marries her, nee-chan could live here forever, and we’ll get yummy food, too?” mana added
“that’s right!” luna cheerfully confirmed. “don’t deny it nii-chan, i’ve seen your wedding dress designs”
and while luna and mana began to happily converse about your and mitsuya’s future wedding and marriage, you couldn’t help but start to smile at the thought of actually marrying mitsuya
“m-maybe sometime in the future, okay?” your boyfriend said nervously, trying to appear calm and indifferent. “babe, c-can you help me bring these to the table?”
with a hasty nod, you hurried to help mitsuya, your boyfriend unable to meet your gaze as he walked past you to place some of the food on the table
“sometime in the future, huh?” you quietly whispered to yourself, fighting back another lovestruck smile
sano “mikey” manjiro
baking with mikey included you having to pay more attention to your disastrous boyfriend than to the actual dessert that you were trying to bake
if mikey wasn’t busy making a mess of the kitchen, he was busy testing your patience by eating all the ingredients meant for the cake
“mikey, stop eating the frosting!” you demanded as you threateningly glared at him. “how am i supposed to decorate the cake for tonight’s party if you keep eating it?!”
your boyfriend only pouted in response, reluctantly stepping away from the bowl of frosting before moving to stand next to you as you huffed in annoyance
“babe, relax. the party isn’t for another two hours. we’ll have plenty of time to make more frosting if we run out,” mikey tried to reason with a grin
“you mean i’ll have plenty of time,” you retorted before letting out a tired sigh. “sorry, i’m just stressed. we haven’t seen everyone in a long time, so this party needs to be perfect”
humming in understanding, mikey decided to finally stop bothering you, choosing to stay out of your way as he watched you skillfully cut up the strawberries needed for the cake’s decoration
“by the way, you have some frosting on your face,” mikey stated
“where?” you asked with a curious tilt of your head
“right about here,” he replied, leaning closer to gently kiss you
pleasantly surprised, you made no effort to reject your boyfriend’s act of affection as he stealthily gathered a few strawberries from the bowl before breaking away from you
“okay, i love you. bye. call me if you need any help!”
realizing what had just happened, your cheeks began to heat up in embarrassment for falling for such a trick
