SAKURA HARUKA (taekwondo+karate reader)
"HEY! Your fights in front of you so start looking with your head! Stop ignoring me!" Sakura’s booming voice yell, throwing hooks left and right that spin past your ears as you duck in an attempt to leg sweep him.
Your eyes are focused on the way he’s two little mismatched hair strands bounce as he’s sporadically jumping. If you could pause him midair, you’d swear you’d see them form some sort of heart shape… But wait- maybe that’s just you? Before your thinking gets ahead of you, your tuning back into the angry ball of black and white launching himself towards you.
Leaping over your outstretched leg he instead compromises the missed opportunity to punt you by rotating on the ball of his foot, leaping back as he roundhouses you aimlessly-
Straight to the gut.
The whole of his body powers through the 360 spin and sends you straight to the ground as your caught off guard.
…
“Holy shi- ow, ow, woah, okay did not expect that. Sakura that one really hurt man…”
“Oh crap- wait your not actually hurt are you?! Wait what am I even saying I’m not worried or anything! Your just, well, are you-“ before Sakura could finish his nervous stammering you smirked and let out a satisfied huff as you popped up in a sudden jerk of motion, swinging your own body around before sending your own one-of-a-kind 360 spin.
“Wha- Hey! That’s cheating you cheater!”, he’s scrambling for words as he backs off, ducking under your flying foot into a crab walk as he kicks from below.
“You started it! Catch up Saku, or eat my dust!”,
Your grinning as you turn around to land your back kick, taking keen steps back as his flushed red face pummels towards you in combat. His ears are strangely glowing in a red and pink closer to the moniker of his name rather than their usual pale complexion…
Honestly, is his face always that red when he’s fighting people? And is his nose supposed to be that scrunched up as he’s fighting people? It could really give the wrong impression…
It doesn’t seem like he’s not too worried about the state of his flustered face at the moment though, his conveniently paying extra attention on how to kick you off your feet (pun intended) as he lands an agonizing axe kick down the top of your x-crossed arms.
Much to your surprise, the blow hits.
Sending you tumbling down as your knees bend from the pressure and practically snap you down onto dusty grounds of Bofurin’s courtyard.
“HAHA! I’ve got you now idiot! Stop getting distracted next time and- Woah!? Hold on are you okay?! Shit, I didn’t overdo it again, right? Wait hold on is this another trick-“, he’s off into his own world again.
“N-no… That one definitely hit that time… Ouch… Hey Sakura can we stop here, please... I might need a bruise check…” you mumble, heaving a small sigh of exhaustion, which only proves to hurt you more as your side aches. That 360 spin really did a number on you, didn’t it…
Before you lift yourself up and steady Sakura’s already frantically running towards your pre-prepped med kit.
…
Before long the both of you are propped and sat against a tree’s forgiving shade away from the blazing Japan sun as your poking at the bruises that had started developing over each other.
“Oucch… H-hey not that it hurts or anything but go softer with that ointment dumbass!” , there he goes again, putting on his tough guy act whilst still looking adorably goofy as his affection radar goes off. Really, it should be a crime to have such a big personality and be one of the strongest people ever.
“Saku, I’m watching your body have a visceral reaction to the medicine, it hurts. Calm down, I’m trying to care for you so chill out dude. Your acting as if I'm strangling you to death.... Jeez..."
Looking up from his restless leg bouncing his eyes are still darting wildly to anywhere and everywhere that wasn't on you. Your gaze probably isn't helping his own anxious emotions, knowing for sure that he's noticing your pause in swabbing his abdomen with soft cotton and sanitization fluid. Maybe his little fearless kitten act sparked the connection in your brain, out of pure unleashed confidence that seemed to have come from nowhere you ask,
"Hey, Sakura?"
"Huh? What is it now?!"
"You are so stinken adorable you know that?"
"HUH?! W-what the hell is that about?! Are you crazy?! What the hell did my punches knock the sense out of you are som-"
"Your so annoying dumbass. I'll do it myself."
Before he's jumping to his feet, your grabbing him by his cheeks, which by the way, are soft and squishy and are so perfectly molded into your palms, and his eyes, his pretty little eyes, their shining like new marble, and oh my goodness- oh my gosh-
Your kissing him.
You've just kissed Sakura Haruka.
And this time for sure, your a hundred percent sure, that he is not supposed to blush with his full face and body. But the way his lips are so sweetly clasped around yours and the way his surprise melted off his stiff stone cold body as he leaned in and closed his eyes (thank goodness... it would have been weird if he kissed with his eyes wide open too), really swept you off your feet. His hand is practically grappling with your own hand as he's pulling it down and lacing his fingers with yours off of his cheek, when finally, it seems he's reconnected the puzzle in his brain.
"Y-you, I-, what-, wh-what. What. The. Hell. Was even that?!!"
SUO HAYATO (freestyle wrestling)
"Listen... All I'm saying is being all sly and hinting never gets you anywhere Suo", rolling your eyes, you glance over at Suo.
He's busy whistling to one of the stores radios. Once more flashing his annoying little grin as he accepts an apple from the store owner.
"Who said I was being sly? I've got nothing to hide! I'm not sure what you mean dear", bowing as he accepts the saccharine apple he nods his head in approval. Grinning, his eyes, or is it eye? Pirate man over here might not even have more than one... Before side eyeing you, watching you groan at his antics.
"Suo you are quite possibly the most conflicting man I've ever met... You know what I mean. Like just now! You called me 'dear', what sort of friend does that?" grumbling, you snatch the apple out of his clasped hand.
Chomping on it in one clean bite, crisp juice running down the side of your lips. Sweet, and cold, perfect for the warm summer weather.
"Hmm?... You consider me a man? Wow! What an honor [name], truly I couldn't ever ask for a better friend.", before your answering, he grasps at your hand. Sneaking a glance at you as he cheers,
"Not everything is about being blunt and forward [name], mmm, if I had a say, maybe you're too aggressive!", lacing his fingers between yours. His fingers sweep them up past his own body, intertwining your body in front of his.
"My apple!", but-
Oh gosh, oh wow, is the Japan heat getting hotter or is it the heat radiating off of you?
Your standing stunned, turning around to glare at his sudden theatrics, only for him to snake his other arm around your waist. Pressing your bodies together. The apple now long forgotten on the dirty ground.
He is really, really, way too good at this...
Leaning into your ear, pressing his body into yours, his arm sits around your waist as he grabs your other wrist. Pushing it away as you try to strangle out to punch him.
"Suo I swear-"
"Wouldn't you say [name]? Not everything is about strength is it..." his lips press against the canal of your ear. Whispering softly into your ear. His grip lets loose before he pounces down, dropping as you swing-
"Suo you absolute fucking brute-",
"Aw come on... Is that the best you can do? Are you really even trying sweetheart?" Palms facing outward, thumbs neatly folding in, Suo mocks you.
He's smiling all innocent like, -gosh you could just kiss that smirk off him- toying with you as he hops over your shots. Bouncing up to your knees, you hop towards him, shoving at his shoulders angrily.
"Whoops! Looks like your hands slipped dear!", tilting on the front of his foot, he sweeps the side, pushing your outstretched hands past his shoulders.
"Goddamn it Suo come here!"
Taking a single leg shot, you knee flies past his right foot. Grappling at his knee as you finally clasp around his leg. Lifting it up in one swift motion. Palming the back of his knee downwards, watching as he falls-...
Back into a flip.
Landing gracefully on his toes, bouncing up and down, he smiles. Launching at you, he spins, flying upwards as he lands the axe of his leg downwards. Eyes widening as you tumble past him, loosing his moment you abandon your technique.
"Now you've done it brat!"
Reaching out hands wide, you wrestle him down by the waist. Tightening your grip before he somehow slips, crashing harshly into the hardened dirt of the towns shopping plaza.
"Ow-... Ouch... Okay that was totally not deserved", you grumble, opening your eyes from the impact, looking down.
"Well, this is interesting... Hello sweetheart", oh god. He's underneath you.
His smiles lost, his eye making contact with yours as he shifts awkwardly underneath your weight.
Oh gosh- He's gorgeous. Wait- How has his eye patch not shifted at all? Is it just permanently glued to his face?... What if-
Get a grip [name]. Suo is right under you. And right now, he is awkwardly watching you, oh wow, his eyes... They're really reflecting the light now...
"Well, I do suppose you deserve some closure after that little stunt..." painfully, he's avoiding eye contact now, shifting his gaze conveniently to whatever was more interesting behind you.
"So... Do you... Mean it like that?"
Regaining himself, he chuckles,
"Like what?", and in one swift motion, he grasps at your wrist, flipping you over.
Oh god. Now you're under him.
"You- I- You know what I mean!"
"Mmm? Are you a child? Please, do tell?"
"Never fucking mind!-" you snap, glaring at him as you puff your cheeks, kicking your feet as you try to get up. God, he was such a lost cause.
"May I kiss you?"
"What-"
"May I?", he's really uncharacteristically quiet and forward now... He's gotten all serious, looking at you in longing. His eyes are watching your own surprised shock.
"I don't know?! Yes? - Maybe? - Where did this-"
Mwah.
His lips just pressed perfectly against yours, warm as they molded against your own. Sweet and faintly tasting like ginger and some sort of biscuit; had he spent his morning trying out new tea cakes again? They taste really good on his lips... Maybe you should ask-
Focus! He's kissing you! Get a hold of your stinken self [name].
His hand finds its way to the side of your cheek, stroking gently against it as he licks across your lips.
Only to abruptly stop and shoot upwards to his feet.
"What? - Suo why did you-"
"We're in public! I shouldn't have done that... Really how improper of me... How shameful" he shakes his head, patting off his hands on his BoFurin pants as he covers his face with his hand.
"I can't imagine if one of the townsfolk saw us... Truly how shameful"
"But- Suo-", your reaching out. Is it weird you desperately want to continue?
Continue what?...
But before your grabbing for him you notice a small dusting of red spread across his usual teasing face.
Oh my.
He's embarrassed.
You're sure to soak in this memory like a blooming bud. He is never living this down.
"Suoo..." you smirk, watching as he frowns and mutters to himself. Cursing himself for his impropriety maybe?
"Look [name] I apologize, that was so very rude of me. I just... You were there and I couldn't hold myself back. Really what kind of man does that-"
Mwah!
You peck his cheek. Smiling.
What happened to adulthood Suo?
Kiryu Mitsuki (muay thai+kickboxing (video footage of reader))
"Come on Kiryu, I swear, put some effort into this... You're killing me!", grumbling as your shins make contact with air, yet again.
Kiryu sways his knees, -gosh, like an old grandma he is- as he flips your leg up and away. Eyes widening in surprise as you flip over yourself. Tumbling backwards in full force against his tai-chi.
"Come on, come, on, come on, dude! Just a little push Kiryu! Then we can finish training!" you yell, scrambling up on your feet as you switch your legs in a twin kick.
Just as quickly, he sweeps them off himself, swaying with your momentum.
"But this is so tiring... And it really isn't cool to sweat all the time..." he mutters, yawning as his hands, palms outwards, retracts.
"Kiryu! [name]! Hurry up and finish sparring! You should both be tired by the end of today! Try harder! Fight faster! You kids need to-", Hiragi yells, spitting out at you both as his forehead wrinkles. It really is so weird how his face looks forty at the age of 17- has he always had sharp jawlines? Weird-
"Now who's the one not focusing [name]... You heard our senior... Put some effort in!", is he mocking you right now?
The absolute nerve of the punk.
"Why you- Come here you lazy piece of gum!", now you're really frustrated, throwing punches as you level change. Kicking at his shins and elsewhere as you watch him sway against your movement.
Damn those old Asian grandmas who taught him tai-chi.
"You stupid sly little brat! Where is your energy! Are you some perma-frozen over nutjob?!", he's got this stupid lazed smile as he sways against you. Nudging your attacks with barely any effort left and right. It feels like moments before someone finally butts in, both you and him dancing around maniacally, taking over the whole of the tatami mats.
"Aww... Is our little Saenchai getting pumped up? What happened to all the silly antics [name]?" Suo teases, pompous little him standing straight hands behind his back as he walks up. Having finished his own sparring against someone else.
"Shut your mouth Suo! Come here and show me you can beat this asshat before you talk to me!" you yelp, panicked as Kiryu suddenly grasp onto your shin, pushing you out.
Only for you to thankfully slip into a tumbling square off.
"Eh? Wow [name]! You were so quick with that one! That was so cool!..."
The nerve of the kid. "Come on [name]~ Open up your eyes! Watch him! The more you let your emotions effect your body, the more he uses it against you!~" Suo grins, backing off as Kiryu stops mid swaying block to whine,
"Heyy...! That's not fair!... That's cheating now Suo! Not cool at all!"
The unfortunate thing about Suo, is that regrettably, he's worth listening too...
As you slow down and pace yourself, bouncing up and down, you watch Kiryu copy your pace, sleeves bouncing lightly as their way to big for his body.
One strike, to the leg.
He grabs it and flips you over again.
Another fist to his face.
Watch as he backs off and shoves it past you.
Finally, watch as his arm lifts up to follow yours in a pass to the side. And land your kick straight to the side of his gut.
"Eh?- Woahh!-" he slips and falls on the hard wooden mats.
"That's it you two! Finally! Hurry it up and clean off!" Hiragi yells, pinching his forehead in disgusts as Kiryu chuckles and palms off the dust on his crisp trendy uniform.
"My, my... Now that was certainly the improvement [name]!" Suo chuckles, helping Kiryu to his feet.
Man, those two would really be the death of you.
...
Watching as he licks a piece of yellow custard off the side of his lips, the cool air conjures up puffs of white smoke. Tasty little breaths of air escape his lips as he huffs a small sigh.
"Mann... I wish they didn't make us train during winter. It's way too chilly for this [name]..."
"Your custard bun is piping hot Kiryu, finish feeding your stomach with cozy treats before you talk about how cold it is dork!" you grumble, flicking his forehead lightly.
"Ow!... That really hurt. You know hurting people isn't a trend, right? You're so uncool [name]..." he mumbles, taking a nibble at his pastry again, watching keenly as the steam wafts up into the air. A sweet vanilla scent wisping into your own nose as you scoot in closer to him on the bench.
"Mm? What's with the sudden closeness? Are you cold too?" he raises one of his pretty green eyes, looking at you so naively as you glare back.
He looks absolutely kissable right now...
His lips are perked up and rosy pink as the rest of his face is. Pink hair frizzed up a little more wildly then usual as his earmuffs puffs the strands out. His cheeks are so warm looking, and quite honestly, invitingly holdable.
And then you're realizing you've been staring too long.
"Oh shut up Tsuki- No wait I meant Kiryu-" you panic. Turning your glance quickly away from him as his eyes widen in shock. Pupils dilating.
"Eh? No wait! What did you call me just now?...! Let me hear it again!" He's held down his steamed dessert now, leaning into you more as if you weren't embarrassed enough.
"Come on... I liked it. Let me hear it one more time please..." he mumbles, shying away as he looks down at his pastry.
"What- What did you just say?"
"Hmm? I liked it?..."
"It didn't make you uncomfortable?..."
"Nope... Not at all... Actually, it sounds really cool coming from you."
"Don't-... Lie about stuff like that-" you mutter, huffing embarrassment. It would be really nice to drop dead right about now-
"But I'm not?... I don't mind at all...", he's whispering, watching his tone carefully as you look away. Ignoring him in an effort to gather yourself.
"Hey... Listen to me [name]..."
"Heyyy..."
"[name]?"
When all of a sudden your face is getting pulled over back to him.
Cheeks pressed against the chill of his own finger tips.
"If you won't listen to me, then I'll have to kiss you..."
"What- Kiryu, let me go- Your being childish!" trying to rub your face away, he lets go easily, much to your dismay.
"I'm only acting like how you were... Now will you listen?"
"Hm... Fine-"
"May I kiss you then?"
"What?-"
"May I?"
"You're absolutely fucking crazy Tsuki'. Yes- Yes you can dumbass"
He's quick to plant a quick chaste kiss on your cheek.
"You fucking missed!"
"Eh? Did I really?... Be patient love..."
With one more quick sweep, his lips plant against yours. Wetting them between as he cups your cheek. Hot steams of smoke bouncing off the both of you against the winter air.
His tongue rolls over your bottom lip in quickness, soft touches against your cheek as he rubs his thumb up and down your cheek bone. Comforting you as he scoots in.
What's left of his pastry drops to the floor as he takes a hand to the back of your head. Peppering kisses around your mouth, leaving you gasping for air in the momentary escape.
"I guess... These are for bruising my hip earlier..." he smiles, lifting up to look at you through your fluttering eyelids.
He only lets you huff in annoyance before attacking your poor neck next.
