What's this I hear about the Asanos actually being brothers and pretending to be father and son? If you've got some interesting ideas, spill 'em! (I can already sense the angst)
oh god what have I sparked now
I actually didn't think too much about it, I just found it a "haha funny" what if scenario.
But now that you mention it, I find it an interesting concept to explore tbh.
How they got into this mess is the question. And also if Gakushuu is aware of that or not. For the sake of angst, let's make him not be aware of it. :)
If we go by what is most likely canon, I can see that the parents had died not long after Shuu was born so Gakuhou would take him in since back then he still wasn't like his current self. They pretty much behaved like father and son, although he wanted to disclose their actual relations when he was old enough. And of course the day never really came as he broke down at that point. After that it didn't really matter to him.
Another story possibility is that he actually took him in when he broke down. He wanted to have someone he can personally teach to become strong and ofc his younger brother was the perfect candidate for that. His parents were quite old at that point and, unaware of his intentions, let him take care of him. Then he manipulated him so much to the point that he believed his actual mother died. The lack of pictures could be explained by Gakuhou's coldness and rationality after breaking down, so Shuu didn't question if further.
Funnily enough, that would make that one scene where the principal mentions the baldness on Gakushuu's mother's side all the more hilarious. He practically dissed himself too, but ofc Gakushuu wouldn't know that.
Also, I believe it would make their uncanny resemblence make more sense since they share both parents and are likely to end up looking a lot similar.
--
Going a bit out of canon possibilities, I could apply this to my fan interpretation as well. I made the Asano family be like a giant cult and Gakuhou someone who managed to escape. Through an accident, he would be able to save his brother as well. To cover up this up, he would lie that this is his son and not rise suspicion.
That's basically all I have for now, if you want more or want to add-on feel free to do so!
B5 fashion headcanons
When you are so invested in one headcanon that you have to share it with the other characters.
A continuation of this post, but now featuring all of the Big Five!
Gakushuu Advent HC #3
Although he isn't all that sentimental, he still keeps little trinkets from people in a tin box.
Some of these include:
-A letter of appreciation from one of his elementary school teachers. It makes him feel like his work is.being appreciated.
-A badge that Kevin gave him. It's from his hometown.
-A picture of him and his mother. It was taken when he finished first grade and his Father didn't show up, so she went instead.
-A friendship bracelet from Ren. He had it ever since he was seven years old.
-A ticket to an amusement park. The B5 went there on their last summer vacation in high school.
Can I request some Shuu hcs? Anything is fine. 💙
Ok thats out of the blue. 😂
But sure!
I'll try my best to stay on the positive side!
- During his final high school year, his entire class surprised him with their own firework display just for him. It literally made him cry.
- Even years after he moved to the US, Gakuhou sends him gifts for his bday, usually some small not even expensive stuff. They havent truly made up, but Gakushuu appreciates the others dedication. His favourite is def a knitted scarf that Gakuhou made himself cause he wanted to prove how he is also great at handcrafting stuff.
- Bc he isnt used to naturally smile, he always practices it in front of a mirror but makes sure his father doesnt notice. He would get teased about it otherwise
Inspired by @averagerekikinnie 's Itona cherish post. Thought why not make it for my boy as well.
