A/N: I'm so happy to see everyone enjoying the first chapter!!! I hope you guys enjoy this new chapter!!
The loud alarm clock blared next to his futon, breaking the silence in the apartment. A large hand emerged from beneath the blanket and smacked the device off.
He pulled the blanket off his face as he lay still for a few moments, staring blankly at the off-white colored wall next to him.
The apartment was quiet… Too quiet, not a lot of commotion around him or next door, just the steady whir of the fan rotating overhead.
With a grunt, he pushed himself up and kicked his futon aside, then walked to the bathroom to do his usual morning routine.
The place wasn't much to look at. A cramped one-room apartment with a kitchen squeezed into the hallway near the entrance, and a bathroom barely large enough to fit someone his size.
Taiju flushed the toilet as he pulled his pants up. He squeezed past the sink.
THUNK—
“FU—mphf…” He bit down on the curse; hopping on one foot as he grabbed his throbbing toe. As if that wasn’t enough, his shoulder bumped the doorframe, causing him to nearly trip; luckily, he caught himself just in time.
He took a sharp, deep breath. “…One of these days…” he pointed at the bathroom, “…I’m tearing your ass apart.”
Aside from the crampiness, the apartment was an empty husk, but it was cheap and close to school. That was enough for him.
He ran a hand through his messy hair as he groaned. Other than his pinkie toe, his muscles still ached from yesterday’s incident, especially where that punk had swung a glass bottle at him.
He dragged his feet into the bedroom to change into his school uniform. After, he slung his bag over his shoulder and made his way to the kitchen; he checked what was in the fridge.
Inside was a bottle of water, half a carton of milk, and a half-eaten chicken sandwich from the convenience store he’d forgotten about three days ago. He sighed and grabbed the water. "Guess this will do," he muttered.
He headed to the door, slipped on his shoes, grabbed his keys, and stepped outside. After locking up, he went downstairs to join the other students walking to school.
***
As usual, male students filled the sidewalk on their way to school. Laughter, complaints about homework and quizzes, and after-class plans buzzed around him, but Taiju ignored it all.
He just sipped his water as he followed the flow.
Just another normal day… or so he thought.
When he reached the school gate, something felt off.
A group of girls in matching uniforms stood near the entrance. They clearly weren’t from his school. From their uniforms and the fact they were girls, they must be from the sister academy a few blocks away.
A few students tried to approach, but the girls ignored them. It was obvious they weren’t here to chat.
They weren’t waiting for a boyfriend or a friend. Instead, they scanned the crowd, clearly searching for someone.
Taiju took another sip of water and kept walking.
Not my problem, he thought.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, one of the girls spotted him. Her eyes widened, and she pointed. "There!" The girls all turned toward him, moving quickly to surround him. "What the—!" He stumbled and almost tripped over one of them.
Students nearby stared at the commotion. “Hey, isn't that Shiba?”
“Why is he surrounded by girls?”
“Did he get a girlfriend?”
“Nah, there’s like 10 of them”
“Maybe a cheating scandal?”
Taiju’s eye twitched.
The girls ignored the growing crowd. One stepped forward, adjusted her glasses, and looked up at him. With Taiju’s height, it was a long way up for her.
“You Taiju Shiba?”
“...I am”
One of the girls cheered, “Oh, thank god it’s him”
The group erupted into excitement. “Ugh, do you know how long we’ve been standing out here? Like, three hours!” the gyaru complained, with her hands on her hips.
The smaller girl looked at her, confused, “Sumi, it’s only been an hour–”
“Still too long!”
Taiju groaned and rubbed his temple. "Look, I’m not in the mood to hang around and chat. What do you want?"
The chatter instantly died. The girls exchanged glances before the same girl with the glasses spoke. “We were ordered by our president to bring you to our base.”
Taiju blinked, “...Your what?
“Our president…”
“What president?”
The gyaru spoke up with a grin, “The president of our gang, duh.”
Silence.
The surrounding students had already begun walking into the building, resuming their normal routine.
Taiju gave the girls a hard, long stare.
They stared back at him.
“...No.”
The girl with the glasses frowned. “Huh!?” The gyaru's eyes widened in disbelief, and she stepped past the other girls. “You can’t just say no! Our president specifically asked for you!!!” Her sharp, high-pitched voice screeched.
“Just did; send your boss my regards.” He shoved his way past the girls and reached the school entrance.
The gyaru screeched her complaints, causing the students walking by to look at her like she was crazy. The other girls watched him like they were waiting for a certain sign.
“Sumika..” The glasses girl spoke.
“Come on, Unoka! We’re not gonna let him walk—!?”
“We’re not… Don’t let me remind you, this is your task; I'm just supervising… So if you fail…”
Sumika looked at the girls; some of them had that spark in their eyes. She groaned as she twisted her blonde curls, “I didn't want to resort to this, especially since I just got these nails done…”
“But im not doing dishes duty again!” Sumika stopped twirling her hair as her face darkened, “Ladies’”
The girls immediately straightened. Unoka sighed, already knowing what was going to happen as she mentally prepped herself.
“Go bag me a fox.”
That one command shifted the atmosphere; in a blink of an eye, Taiju felt someone hold his waist from behind. Taiju let out a sharp gasp, “Huh? What the—!?”
Before he could even react, two more girls lunged at his legs, making him stagger as the sudden halt threw him off balance, causing him to drop his water bottle. Unoka walked over to yank his school bag back before Sumika zoomed up and, with two girls crouched down, she used their backs as leverage to high-jump to him as she hooked the back of his neck. “NOW!”
The world tilted. For the first time in a long time, Taiju was found plummeting to the ground. “ACK—!” The impact knocked the breath from his lungs.
The surrounding students gasped.
“No way…”
“Taiju got his ass owned by a bunch of girls…”
“Guess he really ain’t as strong as we thought?”
He overheard the other students talking down to him, and he’s not gonna lie, it truly pissed him off. He still hasn't recovered from losing to Toman and disbanding Black Dragon, and now he’s getting his ass handed to a bunch of girls. He breathed heavily as he tried to push himself up, but before he could do that 3 girls piled on his back, and the other two sat on his legs.
“Stay down!!” One of the girls cried. “God, he’s way heavier than he looks!”
The smaller girl grunted, “What are you talking about!? He looks exactly that heavy!”
Taiju's face was beginning to turn red as he slammed his palm against the ground; the concrete cracked slightly beneath the pressure. The girls immediately panicked as he got up. “Um, captain, he’s getting up!”
Taiju’s right eye twitched, and a vein bulged on his forehead. To hell with the fall; the humiliation hurts more than the fall, considering he was a 6’5 buff man losing to a bunch of girls half his size. “GET. OFF.” His growl sent a chill through several spines,
“Or what…” Sumika checked her nails. “I asked nicely… You said no.” She placed her foot on the back of his head and pushed down. His face met the pavement. “What did ya expect? Me to leave you alone? Sorry, no can do.” She stepped back. “Hope you understand.”
A teacher ran outside. “What are you girls doing here? It’s forbidden for females to enter an all-boys academy!” The commotion finally drew the attention of the staff. Students began to scatter as the teacher pushed through the crowd. Once he was at the center of attention, his irritation was quickly replaced by confusion at the sight before him.
Unoka glanced down at Taiju. Despite the girls pinning him down, the tension in his body was obvious. Though she must be fair, she was taken aback by how they managed to get him to the ground. She then turned her attention to the teacher and bowed, “Apologies for the disturbance, but we were ordered here…”
Before the teacher could reply, Unoka had already turned to the dogpile, “Sumika, that’s enough. Get them off of him…” Sumika didn’t spare a thought to argue as she signaled the girls off him, but as the girls' weight lessened, Taiju didn’t spare a minute, shooting up to his feet and lunging at Sumika. Not caring if his uniform was wrinkled or if his hair was a mess. His pride was tainted, and that is something he can’t let slide.
“AAH–!”
“CAPTAIN!”
“SUMI!!”
She was hanging in the air as he held her up by her collar. “Hey, I’m sorry, put me down!!!” she struggled as she held onto his forearm. The teacher intervened, “Taiju Shiba, put that young lady down this instant!”
He said nothing, just gripped her collar tightly. He stared at the frightened girl, really contemplating if smashing her face into the ground would be worth getting suspended or worse.
“Shiba-san…”
Unoka walked up to him as she reached into her blazer and pulled out her phone. “Before you do something you might regret, please take a look at this.” She pressed something on her phone before turning around to him. Taiju turned to the phone; his eyes widened. It was a CCTV photo of the alley he was walking out of as he headed back to Sakamoto.
“How the hell did you get this?”
Unoka shrugged, “We have access to resources most people don’t. Now our boss wants to talk to you regarding that incident… Whether you come or not is your decision, but I must warn you, she does not accept being ignored twice. So please, Shiba-san…” She deeply bowed, “For the sake of all of our sanity, please follow us to our base…”
Taiju looked at her. Then the teacher ran to his side, forcing him to let go of Sumika just as the school bell rang; he reluctantly dropped her and said, “Fine, after school… I’ll go after school…” He snatched his bag from Unoka, who had forgotten she was holding it. He walked into the school, mumbling to himself that “it’s too early for this bullshit” while the teacher was scolding the girls to head back to their school.
—
Sumika caught up, walking side by side. “Unoka… You think he’ll help us? I mean that dude was a total jerk; he ruined my uniform!” She whined, trying to smooth out her shirt.
Unoka typed a few words into her phone: “Not sure,” She admitted. “But given what we saw in the CCTV and his behavior, I’d like to believe we might have a chance.” She closed her phone and put it in her pocket before turning to Sumika. “Until then, we’ll just trust what Xia and Fei have planned.”
Sumika groaned dramatically. “Seriously? I think the exact opposite,” she pouted.
“Ah!” she grabbed Unoka's arm, “Earlier, I saw you took his bag.” Unoka glanced at her with a smug look on her face. She grabbed Sumika’s wrist, removing her hand from her arm. “I did”
“Why?”
“What else? You said it yourself. It’s obviously going to refuse even if the boss asked, so I put a small tracking device in his bag. Basically a true Plan B.” Sumika stared at her for a second before bursting into a squeaky laughter. She slammed her hand into her back, nearly knocking Unoka's glasses off her face. “PFFT—! Damn, Unoka! Didn’t expect that coming from you!”
“…Your hands”
Sumika immediately retracted her hands.
Unoka clicked her tongue as she fixed her glasses. She sighed, “I just don’t like chasing people.”
As they proceeded walking, Unoka perked as if something came up, “oh yeah, Fei told me to tell you, you’re on dishes duty”
“WHAAAAAA”

⊹₊ There had yet to be a morning where waking SANO MANJIRO didn’t test your patience.
“Mikeyyy…” you murmured, rubbing the last traces of sleep from your eyes as you lightly shook his arm. his only response was an absent-minded hum before he turned away from you, burying his face deeper into the pillow in a silent refusal to leave the comfort of the bed.
“Mikey, wake up. It’s morning…” you pushed yourself upright, steadying yourself with a light grip on his arms as you peered down at the slumbering blond. before another gentle lecture could leave your lips, his hand found your arm and, with effortless ease, guided you back onto the plush mattress.
in those matter of seconds, the young man was looming above you, his sleep-rumpled hair splayed in every direction, his eyelids still closed, and and his lips faintly parted in the lingering haze of sleep.
“Five more minutes…” he murmured drowsily before unceremoniously collapsing against you. his face disappearing onto the warmth of your chest and before you could protest, his hands instinctively reached for your breast, tenderly kneading the soft flesh.
a quiet, involuntary hum escaped your lips, causing the blond to stir in his sleep. his eyelids remained closed, though the subtle twitch of his brow portrait that he’d heard you — through his lingering drowsiness.
again, he squeezed — with a bit pressure this time, brows knitted together as he cupped and pressed one of your clothed bosoms to his face, aggression building up ever so lightly.
a short sigh left your lips again, this time hitting a spot from the blonde latter. his whole body jerked up right, sleepy eyes fluttered open — staring intensely into yours then falling back to the soft flesh he was holding. an irk mark appeared on his forehead, his hand making its way to your hand to place it to the visible bulge on his pants,
“That’s five more minutes for you.”
⊹₊ TAKASHI MITSUYA was beyond grateful to have you in his life. for once, he had someone to lean on — someone he could always rely on. especially on early mornings when he’s too busy distracting himself from the urge to hit on you with his raging morning boner.
“Good morning, love,” you greeted, your eyes still fixated on the pan. mitsuya hummed in response, leaning against the countertop behind you with a sleepy smile. “Thank you as always, baby.” he murmured causing you let out a quiet laugh in return, flipping the food.
“If you’re really grateful,” you teased, eyes staying on the pan, “come here and kiss me.”
he huffed out a laugh, “Stop teasing me, baby.”
“Am I?” you grinned, mumbling to yourself whilst the silver haired pursed his lips together, an eyebrow raising.
“…and you know my body well enough.” he added, irises follow on the curve of your body from behind — not long enough before his irises averted, staring on the ground, a tint of redness appearing on his cheeks, just right below his eyes.
“Do I?”
“Ive wronged you twice then.” he said, another quiet hum escaped your lips, drawing another amused chuckle from the silver-haired man. drawing himself closer to you, he snaked his arms around you waist — left hand pulling you closer to the warmth of his body whilst his hand turned the stove off.
“I hope you’ll allow me to make it up to you,” the warmth of his deep voice lingered against your ears, sending goosebumps dancing across your skin.
“You’d better make it worth my while, Mr. Mitsuya.”
⊹₊ He was never much of a morning person — HAITANI RINDOU preferred everything at night. mornings, on the other hand, only left him irritable or too groggy to do much after a good night’s sleep. he liked his mornings slow, peaceful, and uninterrupted.
“Let’s sleep more.” rindou murmured drowsily, keeping you on his arms, chin on top of yours; locking you in place to prevent you from removing yourself from the warmth of the bed.
“I have to make breakfast, Rin.”
The purple head replied with a hum, maintaining his position — eye lids drifting shut. your brows furrowed in disbelief a you glanced up, only to find your husband sleeping peacefully, looking as though he didn’t have a care in the world.
“Let… me… go,” you huffed, struggling to lift the arm draped over your waist. after the futile attempt, you gave up on the option, now squirming your way out of his arms.
An irk mark appeared on rindou’s forehead, tightening his arms that are hugging you.
“Stay still.”
His order was stern yet a feline smile crept on your lips on the thought of finally getting a reaction from the jellyfish haired latter. you squirmed your way out once more, determined to escape, freezing in place when you hit something hard from your behind.
“You seem to be testing me.” again, your gaze drifted upward to your lover. his brows knitted together an irritated crease formed on his forehead — eyes already meeting with yours.
his hips jerked upward, his hard length desperate to locate the heat of your clothed crotch. biting on your lower lip as you released heavy breath when your husband desperately grind on you.
“What’s wrong?” he uttered, a wide grin making its way on his lips.

I've decided to pair you up with.........
RAN!
stupid haitani brothers I hate u guys!!!(rindou is my little munchkin gawd)
your sense of style- and your pink hair caught his attention.
Honestly though Rindou pointed you out and Ran went up to you and stole all your attention.
every time he sees you with a new makeup style he is sooo excited and has this stupid smirk on his face before complimenting you.
Ran is more chill and laidback so it works that you have a bubblier personality than him. he needs someone to keep up with him also.
(bonten but every timeline works too) Ran would die for someone like you, eps if people think your a bimbo and you AREN'T... like yes underestimate them and get your ass handed to you.
he brings you to see concerts too. he loves watching your face light up when he does anything for you.
PLAY A SONG FOR HIM, he'll fake faint, and be alll dramatic, but he genuinely thinks it's the sweetest & cutest thing ever.
