In BBM AU, do you think the ‘rivalry’ between Yata and Muna started gradually or was it loathe at first site? Are the rest of the clansmen confused why the blue king and Homra’s vanguard seem to have a heavier beef than they do with their counterparts? Is Fushimi getting tired of his brother stealing Misaki’s attention?
Kinda a mix of both I imagine, Yata definitely didn’t start out intending to hate Saruhiko’s big brother (and I bet he actually gets on well with Taishi) and Munakata is very happy his cute little brother has his first best friend, so initially they’re both predisposed to at least tolerate each other. Yata gets weirded out immediately by Munakata though, I think it wasn’t really dislike there at the start but more Yata finding Munakata very uncomfortable to be around and absolutely slotting Munakata in his mind as ‘Saruhiko’s weird brother.’ Yata doesn’t quite hate him at that moment, it’s more that he doesn’t want to hang out with him and he also finds it kinda annoying how often Munakata tries to insert himself in Fushimi’s life, isn’t there a limit to how much a guy can dote on his kid brother. I feel like it doesn’t graduate to loathing until Fushimi joins S4, when Yata finally realizes I knew I always hated that guy and like in canon considers Munakata to be the one who ‘stole’ Saruhiko away except in this case Yata thinks of it as Munakata being way too attached to his brother and not wanting to let Saruhiko live his own life (not necessarily realizing that Fushimi had other reasons for leaving Homra).
Meanwhile on Munakata’s end I could see him insisting he does not dislike Yata Misaki at all, while Fushimi stares at him suspiciously. Munakata would perhaps admit that he is slightly jealous, because before Fushimi had a friend he probably spent a lot of time with Munakata and now he’s suddenly got a new friend who he’s always hanging around with instead. Of course Munakata is a mature child, he would never be upset that his baby brother has a best friend, like any mature and reasonable person he’s simply going to look into this Yata Misaki’s background to make sure that he is a suitable companion for our Saruhiko. It’s perhaps a low level dislike until Munakata goes to college and hears Fushimi moved out to live with Yata and Munakata suddenly feels very vindicated for having always had his suspicions about that person. From that point on Munakata is perfectly comfortable treating Yata as the bad influence that swayed Saruhiko to the side of further bad influences (such as Suoh Mikoto). Post-ROK he and Yata have something of an unofficial truce for Saruhiko’s sake but it’s very clear to everyone else that these two have some kind of beef going on and everyone also can probably tell the reason why — except Fushimi, who doesn’t get why those two keep having issues with each other, there must be some commonality he’s missing that they’re always fighting over.
Fushimi has trouble sleeping and nothing is working. Somehow in bicker he ends up in a headlock and hey(!) Yata’s new biceps are actually pretty comfortable.
Drifting off to sleep in Yata’s rock hard biceps, sounds good to me :D Imagine this is fairly soon after they’ve moved in together and Fushimi has to get used to sleeping with someone else in the same room, to say nothing of the same bed. Yata offers to sleep on the couch for a while until Fushimi gets used to it but Fushimi stubbornly refuses, he’s not a kid he can sleep with someone else in the room. Yata decides if Fushimi says it’s fine he’ll trust to that and for a few days it seems like it’s working, Saruhiko seems perhaps a bit tired but he always looks like that so no reason to feel worried. One night though Yata wakes up in the middle of the night to get a drink and realizes there’s a soft glow from the other side of the bed, he leans over to find Fushimi wide awake doing work on his PDA.
Yata immediately gets upset, I told you to tell me if you couldn’t sleep. Fushimi is being all stubborn, muttering that he can sleep fine he just…doesn’t want to and anyway he can get a nap in during the day between missions. Yata is absolutely not accepting that, Fushimi needs sleep and Yata will go sleep on the couch if that’s what he needs. Fushimi grabs Yata’s shirt and says it’s fine, they can both sleep here and Yata’s making a big deal out of nothing. Yata’s like you’re always like this, I’m not letting you be unhealthy and not get sleep, so one of us is going on the couch. Fushimi still refuses and they end up squabbling a little, Fushimi is weak from lack of sleep so Yata’s able to get him in a headlock. Yata’s like so now will you let me go sleep on the couch so you can get a full night’s sleep and Fushimi drowsily says no…this is fine. Yata’s all ‘Saruhiko?’, worried he like cut off Fushimi’s oxygen or something, but no Fushimi is already falling asleep with Yata’s biceps for a pillow. It’s kinda weird but hey, if this gets him to sleep, and Yata carefully lays back down with Fushimi still in a light headlock. After this imagine they realize this is the only way Fushimi sleeps, not even necessarily a headlock but somehow entwined with Yata: sleeping on Yata’s abs or against Yata’s arms, or between Yata’s legs with his head on Yata’s thighs, and it makes Yata feel a little flushed but if it lets Saruhiko sleep he’ll just have to endure.
Yata and Munakata are low key forced to spend time together for “Saruhiko’s sake” rumors go around that the Yatagarusu is the blue kings sugar baby.
At least now no one is calling Fushimi the Blue King’s sugar baby anymore, so that’s a plus kinda. Imagine maybe Fushimi gets injured somehow and Yata and Munakata have to work together to coordinate his care. Fushimi keeps trying to work through his injury so in an attempt to placate him Yata impulsively says he’ll help out at S4 if it will get Fushimi to rest more, unaware that Munakata was standing behind him at the time and of course Munakata is immediately like ‘oh, is that so?’. So now Yata has been roped into basically being Munakata’s errand boy, since he can’t handle all the paperwork and information stuff that Fushimi usually deals with Munakata has him going out on all kinds of missions instead. Afterward Munakata still expects to be debriefed so Yata has to stand there miserably in the middle of the office recounting what just happened. Yata hates it but he’s powering through for Saruhiko’s sake, in any case he also figures he should at least try to get along with Saruhiko’s annoying King if he and Saruhiko are going to keep being a thing.
The S4 rumor mill quickly comes out in full force though, everyone knows about Fushimi’s injury but no one knows about Yata promising to help out in order to let Fushimi rest so to everyone else it just looks like Yata is spending a lot of time in S4. On top of that Munakata has agreed to pay Yata for his time (since he has to take time off his actual job) and the pay is not insignificant so Yata has been spotted grinning like an idiot as he looks at his paycheck, thinking maybe all this was worth it. He spends a lot of time in Munakata’s office too and one member stopped in the other day to find Munakata doing a puzzle of Yata’s face. This definitely has people wondering if Homra’s Yata Misaki has become the Blue King’s sugar baby, like clearly that’s the only explanation here (the alphabet boys are a little more skeptical though, listening to a description of everything that Munakata’s been doing and what Yata’s been up to and Doumyouji innocently wonders isn’t that just Captain bullying him though).
Yata gets hit with a strain an honestly nothing seems wrong. Everything goes well, he and Fushimi have a great date, maybe getting handsy, and then Fushimi goes south which is when it’s discovered Yata’s dick is now manga censored (‘lightsabors’ are popular but if there is one that you find particularly hilarious, go for it !)
Imagine Yata and Fushimi have a date planned for that night, Yata’s pretty excited and just has to make it through the day without anything weird happening. This is of course when he’s asked to help with a Strain hunt, they don’t actually know what the power is but Yata should be careful. When he gets hit by the power Yata is immediately panicking, like come on this is just what I don’t need, do I have a tail or am I speaking French suddenly just tell me what happened. The Homra guys look him over but he’s fine, nothing is different. Maybe this particular power also only kicks in during certain…steamier times, so even when Yata stops at the bathroom to check himself over fully everything looks okay. Yata can’t believe he got hit by the one Strain who’s a total dud, like are we sure that guy even was a Strain. Since everything is fine he decides not to tell Saruhiko, Fushimi will just tease him about it and Yata doesn’t want to hear how he was stupid for letting a Strain get the jump on him.
Yata heads out for his date with Fushimi, a little nervous because what if whatever the Strain did shows up on the date. It goes normally though, they go out for Chinese and talk all evening, Yata asks Fushimi back to his place to play video games and they get to cuddle on the couch. Yata even gets bold enough to start undoing Fushimi’s pants, Fushimi smirks and starts unzipping Yata’s pants as well. Soon they’re on top of each other making out, Fushimi’s pulling off Yata’s boxers and then he suddenly stops. Yata pulls away a little, breathless as he asks what’s wrong. Fushimi is just like ‘….Misaki’ and Yata says okay I should maybe tell you something that happened today but I swear it was nothing weird, Fushimi gives a soft chuckle and says oh so it was a Strain. Yata’s all yeah but nothing happened to me…I don’t think so anyway…and Fushimi promptly adjusts himself and points down at Yata’s crotch, where Yata’s dick is now pure white and glowing like a light stick.
Yata’s like what the fuck that was normal this afternoon and Fushimi starts snickering, Misaki sure is…lit up with excitement. Yata’s like this isn’t funny, probably worried like he can’t even really see it anymore, what if it disappeared or something. Fushimi takes an experimental handful and smirks when Yata sucks in a breath, looks like it’s still there and it appears that it still ‘works’ too. Yata’s like we can’t do it this way, I can’t do this without being able to see it, it’s too weird. Fushimi thinks it’s pretty amusing though, wondering if it would still glow if he put it in his mouth. Yata’s like that’s gross and Fushimi doesn’t see how, he’s done it before, and Yata’s like yeah but this time it’s all weird and shiny. Fushimi decides to try before Yata can stop him and maybe the Strain power likes to fluctuate a little, when Fushimi puts Yata’s dick in his mouth it’s suddenly not lit up anymore but there are little black lines everywhere. Fushimi has a little trouble getting his mouth around it because that little black line keeps hovering by the head but it doesn’t taste any different. When he stops though Yata’s dick goes back to glowing, it seems like more experimentation is required. Yata can’t believe Saruhiko intends to experiment with his cursed dick but Fushimi doesn’t see why not, think of it as research on Strain abilities Misaki.
KamaFushi Saruhiko says he finds body hair and gross and Kamamoto gets insecure and shaves it off and Saruhiko hates the result. Please give back his blond peluche
Kamamoto already shaves his facial hair when he’s in summer mode, doesn’t Fushimi suffer enough D: Fushimi is probably the type to be fussy about facial hair even if he likes it, like when Kamamoto kisses him Fushimi will complain about Kamamoto’s beard scratching him. Fushimi is of course all nice and smooth and maybe one day Yata’s like teasing him about it, why not try to grow some stubble Saruhiko. Fushimi clicks his tongue and says he doesn’t like body hair, it’s annoying and gross, unaware that Kamamoto happens to be just around the corner listening in. This makes Kamamoto a little concerned because he’s a pretty hairy guy and he always felt like Fushimi was more enthusiastic when Kamamoto’s in winter mode versus summer but maybe that’s just because Fushimi likes a little more chub to cuddle in.
The next day Kamamoto shows up at the bar completely shaved and everyone is totally staring, it just looks wrong for winter Kamamoto to be all smooth like his summer self. The Homra alphabet are wondering if this is like a new sign of spring, maybe Kamamoto’s shaving early, but it’s still February so that’s kinda early. When Fushimi sees him imagine Fushimi just staring for a moment and then clicking his tongue. Kamamoto thinks Fushimi should like it but Fushimi is clearly displeased, he won’t say it out loud but he keeps touching Kamamoto’s chin and chest and looking annoyed, grumbling that it’s not as soft as usual. Kamamoto sheepishly says he figured Fushimi didn’t like the hair, since he was always complaining, and Fushimi clicks his tongue again because how dare someone listen to what he actually says and not just interpret what he’s thinking instead. Fushimi also won’t straight out say that he likes the hair but he does mutter at Kamamoto not to shave this early, it’s bad enough in the summer, looking bothered enough that Kamamoto has to smile as he’s like so you do like it when I’m hairy. Fushimi huffs but gives a reluctant nod and Kamamoto has to promise not to shave when he’s in winter mode again, in fact maybe he can keep the beard in summer too.
Would fem Mikoto have a buzz cut since she's a lioness...
I wonder if people would still see Mikoto as a lioness if she’s a woman though, because lionesses actually do all the work in the pride rather than lying around and sleeping like the male lions do. Since male Mikoto has short hair I kinda like the idea of fem!Mikoto having a super long wild mane of hair instead, she doesn’t bother to style it or even brush it so it’s just totally all over the place (but imagine Totsuka or Anna like to just sit and brush her hair occasionally too). It makes her look more like a male lion and that somehow suits her, after all she’s not proactive enough to be a lioness.
Maybe she does end up chopping it all off one day, like Mikoto’s hair gets cut when she’s burning some guys and the next day she just shows up at the bar with a buzz cut. Kusanagi is openly staring and Totsuka bemoans the loss of Queen’s beautiful hair, though this one isn’t so bad either (less for Totsuka to have to dye, and he likes rubbing Mikoto’s head because it’s all soft and fuzzy now). Anna walks over and just stares upward, Mikoto wonders if Anna wants a haircut too and Kusanagi immediately vetoes that because we are not giving Anna a buzz cut. Totsuka thinks Mikoto looks more like a proper lioness now and Kusanagi decides that’s good timing, because they’re out of quite a few things and he just so happens to need someone to do a grocery run. Mikoto was going to take a very important nap and just stares at Kusanagi as Kusanagi hands her a list and some money, Totsuka says a good lioness needs to hunt for her cubs as he puts an arm around Anna’s shoulders. Mikoto decides maybe she’ll let her hair grow back out after all, if it gets her out of chores.
Yata waking up in a panic and wondering where the Sarumi baby is (there is no baby- Fushimi is about to kick him out for asking about stupid things)
Yata having a very vivid dream where he finally manages to get Fushimi pregnant and they have like four kids who all look like various flavors of Saruhiko. Except then they have some kind of emergency and Fushimi has to leave Yata to watch the kids, Yata is fine with that because he’s a great dad after all. But suddenly he can’t find the kids, they all went to play hide and seek and even the baby is missing from its crib, how could he lose the baby, Saruhiko will kill him if he doesn’t find the baby. Yata’s running around wildly checking every corner of the house, all the kids are gone and the baby is gone and he’s trying to call Fushimi in case Fushimi took the baby but the phone won’t work.
Then Yata’s alarm suddenly goes off and he sits up in a panic, where did the baby go seriously Saruhiko tell me you took the baby to work with you. Fushimi was up late with work and is extra cranky this morning so he isn’t particularly pleased at Yata waking him and asking about a baby. Yata’s really insistent though, shaking Fushimi as he says the baby is missing what are we going to do. Fushimi slaps at his hand and is like I threw the baby in the river, Yata’s super panicking now because what do you mean you threw it in the river and then he stops like wait a second. Fushimi is still glaring at him and Yata laughs sheepishly, oh right we don’t have a baby, that was a dream. Yata apologizes for waking Fushimi up, that was pretty stupid of me wasn’t it and Fushimi grumbles that it was. Yata laughs again and slides off the bed to go get dressed, but then as he’s walking to the door he hears Fushimi behind him ‘You want to have a baby…?’. Yata’s like well I mean I might if you did, I mean, it would be cool to have one…slowly trailing off. He can’t quite find the words to explain that in his dream he knocked up his boyfriend multiple times so he just quickly makes a retreat to go get dressed, leaving Fushimi still lying there in bed processing the whole ‘Misaki wants to have a baby with me’ thing.
Trans Yata worried about sex bc a lot of ‘mainstream’ stuff shows FTM as bottoms and he’s not certain about that. He tries to get into it and it’s not bad but it does make him a little dysphoric in the aftermath. Que Fushimi buying straps/ paying for bottom surgery
Sugar daddy with a government job Fushimi paying for his boyfriend’s bottom surgery, Yata has it good XD I could see Yata having issues with this because he probably doesn’t really know much about sex except the basics and he kinda assumes that being a trans guy he’d ‘have’ to be on the bottom, there’s no other way around it. Fushimi assumes Yata likes it when they do it that way, since Yata doesn’t tell him to stop or anything and is enjoying it in the moment, but then afterward Yata will be kinda dysphoric and depressed afterward. Maybe Yata even stops initiating sex because he just isn’t really enjoying it this way and of course Fushimi is entirely taking this the wrong way, thinking he’s done something or that Yata specifically doesn’t want to have sex with him and that makes him start avoiding Yata and probably expecting that Yata’s going to break up with him any moment now.
Yata thankfully has matured enough to realize when something is bothering Saruhiko and tries asking him straight out, Fushimi grumbles that isn’t it Yata who wants to say something. Yata’s all confused and Fushimi clicks his tongue, Yata’s the one who’s been avoiding him not the other way around. Yata realizes what it must have looked like to Fushimi and imagine him getting all red as he mumbles that it isn’t Fushimi, it’s him, he doesn’t like….being the bottom. Fushimi looks at him like he’s an absolute moron and is like why didn’t you say something idiot, you’re the one always yelling at me for not telling you things. Yata says well it’s not like they can do anything about it and Fushimi gives him a look like he’s just said the most worthless thing ever, all really you are a virgin aren’t you, that you didn’t even bother to figure out other ways. This is all new information to Yata and just imagine him getting redder and redder as Fushimi rattles off all the possibilities like they sell straps in all different sizes, in the same tone he would use when reading out a report at work. He also mentions he could just pay for Yata’s bottom surgery if it’s that big an issue, still in that same flat tone as if what he just said was no big deal, and then he stops because Yata is suddenly giving him this worshipful look. Yata can’t believe that Fushimi would really pay for something like that and now Fushimi is the uncomfortable one, shrugging and looking away as he mutters that sure he can…if it’s for Misaki, he doesn’t mind paying for it.
Fushimi’s completely hairless or at least smooth enough that when Yata hooks up with him he’s suprised to see that it all went straight to his groin (not that he’s complaining)
Fushimi absolutely doesn’t shave either, he’d be a wild forest down there. Yata didn’t expect it either, imagine even Fushimi’s lower stomach is all smooth so there’s like no warning at all until Yata gets Fushimi’s pants off. Really Yata just assumed Fushimi was somehow naturally all smooth, like even when they were younger and Yata briefly tried growing a beard to look cool — he got some slight peach fuzz and Fushimi teased him for it — Fushimi’s face would be totally clear even without shaving. Similarly I can see Yata having kinda coarse red hair on his arms and legs, Yata figures real men are hairy and rugged. But Saruhiko is all delicate and pale so it makes sense that he wouldn’t have a lot of hair, it just wouldn’t suit him to look like that.
Yata assumes this must be the case for Fushimi’s entire body, completely smooth and bony and soft, and then he gets Fushimi’s pants off and there’s just a mess of deep black hair down there. Yata’s first reaction is honestly probably ‘this is why you need to wear underwear Saruhiko, it’s gross like this’ and Fushimi clicks his tongue all you do realize some of us bathe ourselves entirely right, we don’t all smell like sweat constantly like some people. Yata huffs at that but he’s also kinda fascinated by this one hairy spot on Fushimi’s body, idly touching the coarse hair. Fushimi acts like Yata’s being weird but imagine he likes it, feeling Yata’s hands right above his groin touching all the hair and occasionally ghosting against his skin. Yata grins, looks like Fushimi has a fuzzy spot he can pet after all.
Fushimi’s daughter suddenly asks Fushimi about her ‘other dad’ and he’s confused. She says that while she doesn’t have very many memories she remembers his smile and red hair and how he always took care of them when they were sick.
Imagine this as the version of the AU where Fushimi ends up adopting random orphaned small child right around the point where Niki dies, like just before he and Yata move in together. The kid was pretty young and even with studying how to handle a child Fushimi was still struggling a lot until he and Yata start living together, Yata all shocked that Fushimi has been hiding a kid all this time (“What do you mean you found her, what the hell Saruhiko did you just kidnap a kid” and Fushimi getting all indignant and clutching the kid, I found her so I’m keeping her, like it’s a puppy). Between the two of them they're able to raise her pretty well together but then when the betrayal happens Fushimi takes the kid with him. Yata can’t really say anything about that, knowing full well this was Saruhiko’s daughter more than his — so to speak — but it’s still something of a double blow, losing both his best friend and the kid he’s come to love.
Fushimi and his daughter start living at S4 and he does his best to keep her away from all the betrayal mess because he figures even though he’s messed up it doesn’t mean she has to be. Imagine she was just getting to the talking stage when the betrayal happens and she babbles about Yata a couple times, looking around curiously, but after that she stops even mentioning him. Fushimi probably secretly hopes she’s forgotten about Yata anyway, so she won’t have to be hurt by Yata being gone and he won’t have to worry that he’s given his kid some of his trauma, Fushimi was fine with breaking things off with Yata before he inevitably got left behind but he doesn’t want his kid feeling like she was the one being abandoned by a parental figure.
Then one day imagine she’s like coloring a picture and she just idly pipes up wondering what happened to ‘other dad.’ Fushimi freezes, maybe for a moment even thinking she’s remembering her actual parents and what if she did have parents looking for her after all, what if he has to give her back and here’s another precious thing broken, and then she says she remembers someone with red hair. This doesn’t really lessen Fushimi’s tension any though, as she says other dad had a happy smile and he always took care of her when she was sick and he took care of dad too, he made the yummy food with the pineapples. Fushimi’s immediate thought is probably to lie and say that was a dream but he can’t quite bring himself to do it either, Niki was a guy who lied to his kid all the time and Fushimi swore he wouldn’t be like that guy at all. Fushimi just says that person ‘isn’t here anymore’ and his daughter looks up him, wondering why other dad went away. Fushimi laughs bitterly under his breath and says I made him go, his daughter can’t quite hear him and just looks at him curiously. Fushimi tells her not to worry about it, distracting her with some toy or oh look Uncle Hidaka wants you to tell him about your dolls better go catch him, hoping that since she’s so young she’ll just forget about that person who won’t ever come back to Fushimi’s side again. (And then post-ROK when Yata and Fushimi make up one day Fushimi hesitantly brings her over to see Yata and immediately she points at him and says ‘it’s my other dad!’ all excited.)
Hey Ridia <3
I am currently very hyperfixated on ancient Egypt.
And I got an idea.
Imagine the HOMRA boys in the old Egypt. Like maybe is Mikoto the pharaoh and Yata is the privat soldier guarding Mikoto. What if Kamamoto is the main cook. And Totsuka is like the main wife (husband) of Mikoto.
Wouldn’t that be so cool?
I really love your blogs btw!
Imagine some delegation coming to see the pharaoh, expecting to meet Mikoto’s many wives and instead it’s just Totsuka waving happily at them from behind the throne XD Mikoto’s main job is definitely to lounge on comfy seats while his vizier Kusanagi handles all the regular affairs of state, Mikoto can’t be bothered with that kind of thing. Mikoto mainly takes action whenever enemies threaten his kingdom, riding out on a chariot and defeating all attackers in combat. It’s said that he seems to burn with flames when he’s attacking someone and many of his subjects suggest that he’s an avatar of the sun god himself. Mikoto doesn’t particularly care about those rumors, he just happened to end up in this position so he’s going to defend it for as long as he’s able. Kusanagi does his best to make sure Mikoto appears to be a tough but fair pharaoh, often advising Mikoto on when to grant mercy but also letting him do as he pleases when dealing with things like condemned criminals who are dragged before the pharaoh for judgement. Totsuka meanwhile is also in something of an advisory position but no one except Mikoto’s closest confidants are really aware of that. Officially Totsuka is considered simply an official in charge of Mikoto’s harem but in practice he is basically the great royal wife and fully in charge of the household. Mikoto doesn’t actually have any other wives but occasionally other kingdoms will send their daughters in hopes of securing diplomatic ties with a royal marriage. Totsuka will happily receive them, show them how to do some important hobbies, and then find them a job within the household if that’s what they wish to do, but the only one who actually receives visits from the pharaoh is Totsuka himself.
The rest of the Homra guys are part of Mikoto’s direct retinue, probably working mostly in guard positions. Yata is a newly minted Captain of the Guard and extremely proud of it, though he’ll also loudly declare that Mikoto doesn’t even really need a guard because anyone who would try to assassinate him would be easily defeated anyway. Imagine at one point Fushimi also worked as a member of the guard, having joined up with Yata, but Kusanagi quickly realized that Fushimi’s talents could be better spent elsewhere and Fushimi was put in more subterfuge-oriented positions, spying on their enemies and gathering information. Kusanagi’s not particularly pleased when Fushimi ultimately deserts and goes to some other kingdom, having lost an important member of Mikoto’s subordinates and also perhaps being aware that their kingdom is often beset by enemies and any of those people gaining Fushimi could put them at a distinct disadvantage. Kamamoto is Mikoto’s head chef, the only person who can be 100% trusted to cook food for the pharaoh that will be free of poison. I imagine Anna being some kind of priestess, maybe rescued from a group of slavers or something who believed she had powers granted by the gods and could directly commune with them. She was offered as a gift to the pharaoh and Mikoto proceeded to break her chains and burn the guys who brought her, unofficially adopting her instead so that no one could dare touch her.
fushimi is most definitely the jealous one of misaru but i like to imagine misaki only ever gets severely jealous when it comes to specific people; ESPECIALLY munakata.
at first fushimi is flattered cause wow, i’m not the only one jealous anymore and misaki actually wants me etc etc, until it actually gets kind of annoying, “no misaki captain didn’t just only call me in, it’s the entire team. no it’s not favoritism i’m just the only one who can do this. yes he’s touchy, but he’s touchy with everybody please don’t report my boss for sexual harassment. hidaka? he’s affectionate like that with everyone—akiyama??? he serves me coffee cause he’s the only one who makes it how i like—“
cue him suddenly realizing this is misaki’s reality dating fushimi’s jealous ass and he kind of starts to feel pity. kind of.
I could definitely see Yata having his jealous moments with S4, especially Munakata. Yata already kinda doesn’t like Munakata anyway, because Blue King and I think even with knowing that this really is Fushimi’s King Yata can’t entirely silence those feelings of ‘this is the guy who stole Saruhiko away.’ On top of that Munakata’s personality is probably the exact type that Yata doesn’t get along well with, like Yata’s so straightforward while Munakata loves to hide his meanings and it’s harder to be sure what he’s really thinking. And then after all that Yata will see Munakata interacting with Fushimi and always being in Fushimi’s personal space and he can’t help but feel a spike of annoyance every time, like why is this guy doting on my boyfriend anyway. Imagine him finding out about the whole ‘Captain’s favorite’ thing too and how much it immediately spikes his jealousy, like he overhears an alphabet boy talking about it and Yata’s like wait he’s what. Yata was supposed to be waiting for Fushimi to finish work but instead he finds himself storming right into the office instead, where Munakata is leaning very close over Fushimi going over some report. Yata immediately reaches over and grabs Fushimi by the arm, Fushimi looks at him all curiously and Yata’s all gruff like you’re done right, aren’t we gonna go out. Munakata is smiling all pleasantly as he apologizes for taking up all of Fushimi’s precious time, touching Fushimi’s shoulder as he says they can continue this tomorrow, and Yata nearly slaps his hand off. Fushimi is just looking between them both blankly, trying to figure out what’s going on here.
Afterward Fushimi asks Yata what that was all about and Yata grumbles that he just doesn’t like that guy, why was he getting so close to Fushimi anyway. It takes Fushimi a moment to realize Yata’s acting jealous and he smirks, telling Yata that he doesn’t have anything to worry about with Munakata, Fushimi much prefers to be with Yata anyway. Yata gives a sheepish laugh, maybe he was being silly anyway. But the feelings don’t go away and sometimes Yata even finds himself getting jealous of some of the other alphabet boys too, like why is Hidaka smiling at him like that (knowing that Hidaka smiles at everyone like that) and why does Akiyama always bring him coffee (because Fushimi will kill Doumyouji if not properly caffeinated). Munakata is definitely still the main focus of his jealousy though, imagine S4 and Homra doing some joint mission and Fushimi is in charge of the debrief. Munakata is leaning over his shoulder and suddenly Yata just puts himself between them, glaring at Munakata while Fushimi sighs. It’s not like he doesn’t enjoy knowing that Yata’s being possessive, it’s something he’s probably even wanted for a long time, but if Yata could keep it in check while Fushimi is working that would be nice. Of course then imagine when everyone’s going to do their parts of the mission Yata goes with the Homra guys and they’re all chatting and being close and Fushimi finds his hands itching for a knife. Even so he can’t help but sulk a little, probably telling himself that it’s different when he’s being possessive of Yata, he’s not letting it get in the way of the mission or anything, this is a totally different matter than all the trouble Misaki is causing with his petty jealousy.
Going through the big brother munakata tag and got so into my feelings about saruhiko having a proper family. Like imagine he did some dumb shit and he's about to get into trouble and his first reaction isn't apathy, it's. Oh shit mom and dad are going to be so worried. Or maybe when he can't figure something out, saruhiko immediately thinks he should ask reisi even if he'll be annoying about it. Just. Saruhiko catching himself thinking of the munakata family like any other kid with a normal family would.
Imagine the first time he finds himself thinking like a normal kid with a normal family, just the pause it gives him. His new best friend Yata wants Fushimi to stay overnight at his place and Fushimi’s immediate response is well I have to ask my parents first and then he just pauses, Yata staring at him curiously because maybe it’s not okay after all. Fushimi shakes his head, muttering that it isn’t a problem at all, not really sure how to explain the realization that this is the first time he had a ‘normal family’ moment, that once needing to ask permission from parents was a completely foreign thing and now suddenly it just comes to his mind as normally as breathing. And then maybe later he’s out with Yata another time and realizes that he’s running late and for the first time Yata’s not the one to suggest calling parents to let them know he’ll be late, Fushimi remembers it all on his own. It’s like Fushimi himself suddenly becoming aware that there are so many things normal kids would know that he doesn’t but now he’s actually learning, it isn’t strange to him to think about calling mom to say he’s running late or asking his dad to help him with something (and even thinking of them as ‘mom and dad’ is probably new for him, not ‘that guy’ or ‘that guy’s wife,’ not just people he’s obligated to live with, but his mom and dad). And even the totally new experience of having big brothers, trying to study and finding a particularly hard problem so he thinks he should just ask Reisi, or needing Taishi’s help because he got a knife stuck high up in a tree (he was practicing gardening, really) and Fushimi can’t reach it. It’s a strange feeling to think that maybe he himself is by extension becoming ‘normal,’ Fushimi’s not the unwanted child or the child without a proper home, he’s not notably different from everyone else around him now, he’s not just this one island surrounded by regular people who wouldn’t understand, he finally has this actual regular family and it turns out that isn’t so bad after all.
i think its cute how fushimi basically knows all the metrics about misaki; like his height, weight, etc. while misaki knows all about fushimi’s habits and preferences. like they both know way too much about each other than normal friends should, but in different ways
I feel like it fits very nicely into their personalities though, what each one remembers about the other. Like of course Yata wouldn’t be able to figure out things like Fushimi’s height and even if Fushimi ever told Yata his blood type Yata would probably forget immediately. But the more personal things, those Yata remembers. He’s probably one of the only people in the cast who knows the entire laundry list of what food Fushimi doesn’t like, having cooked for him so often when they were living together. Yata’s not good at memorizing things but he knows Fushimi will sulk and not eat anything at all if Yata makes even one thing he doesn’t like, so Yata has a whole mental list to remind himself that Fushimi won’t eat vegetables and Fushimi hates raw fish and Fushimi doesn’t like things that are too spicy or too sweet. He also knows all Fushimi’s eating preferences on the good side too, that Fushimi will eat meat and he’ll eat pineapple and he likes vanilla ice cream and grape soda with 0% fruit. Yata knows a lot of Fushimi’s habits too, like how he’ll stay up too late if you don’t make him go to bed and he’ll try and do things even when he’s sick unless you wrap him up in blankets and tell him to rest.
Meanwhile of course Fushimi doesn’t remember the small emotional things, he doesn’t really know what food Misaki likes other than ‘pineapple’ and ‘stupid healthy crap he keeps trying to make me eat.’ All of his ideas of Yata’s favorite shows or manga are probably solely based on stuff he vaguely remembers Yata mentioning in middle school. But he immediately remembers Misaki’s birthday and Yata only needs to mention his blood type offhandedly once and Fushimi has it memorized (imagine Yata getting hurt when Fushimi’s still in Homra and he needs to go to the hospital, the nurses asking if anyone knows Yata’s blood type and Kusanagi sheepishly trying to explain why he doesn’t and then Fushimi pipes up from behind everyone). I feel like Fushimi would probably be the type to remember important dates too even if he doesn’t realize at the time that they’re important, like Yata couldn’t guess the day he and Fushimi talked properly for the first time in the school bathroom but Fushimi knows it immediately, why would he have forgotten that. Fushimi isn’t good at figuring out what emotional things should be important enough to remember but he always unconsciously collects information and never forgets it, so of course he knows anything about Yata that involves easy to remember numbers and dates and blood types.
what if there was someone who was flirting with Misaki that only Saruhiko was aware of.
IE
Alphabet: relax, no one wants your man
Random behind them: *clearly wants his man and is showing it off*
Imagine there’s like some random guy who works with Yata and hangs around him a lot and who is absolutely crushing on him, and somehow basically everyone is completely clueless about this except Fushimi. Like normally Fushimi would be the last guy to notice romantic feelings, he barely managed to handle his own like he has time to bother with anyone else’s. But this random coworker keeps chatting with Yata and everyone else is like yeah, Yata made a new friend, what’s wrong with that, and Fushimi is silently plotting ways to get this guy fired because how dare he encroach on Fushimi’s territory. Yata probably assumes this is just Saruhiko being overprotective as always, he gets annoyed when Yata spends too much time with the Homra guys so this is just more of that, totally oblivious to Fushimi’s general raging jealousy.
Yata’s probably not even mentioned his boyfriend to everybody at work for that matter, it doesn’t really occur to him and anyway he’s so used to the rest of his friend group being like ‘you mean you weren’t already dating’ that it doesn’t actually think he needs to say anything. After all, Fushimi picks him up from work a lot and it’s kinda weird that his one coworker is always extra friendly when Fushimi shows up and being really chatty with Yata the whole time but that’s probably nothing. Fushimi meanwhile is completely unable to be normal about this, imagine him muttering under his breath all the ways he’s going to get that guy fired or arrested or something, how dare he smile at Misaki. The rest of S4 will overhear him whenever they’re like on patrol and passing Yata’s workplace and they assume Fushimi is just being too attached again, like I doubt anyone wants your man, and behind them Yata’s coworker keeps trying to get into Yata’s personal space (and in fact imagine one day one of the squad members has to stop into Yata’s workplace for something and finally sees the flirting with his own eyes, like okay never mind Fushimi-san someone absolutely wants your man and we gotta make sure that doesn’t happen).
Love that you own the yatagarasu shirt. Can u post pics of other apparel merch you own? I want a reason to lose my marbles in mercari...
I posted this picture as part of my larger collection post previously so I’ll just add it again since I already put the hoodies in storage for the summer (I don’t have a lot of closet space because I have too many lolita dresses so I store some clothes in storage bins in the basement between seasons):
The long hoodie is from a collab with Daily Dream Closet, the S4 one was official merchandise. The three shirts are part of a collab with the brand Avail, as mentioned in my previous post I have the Yata, Fushimi and Munakata shirts.
These are the only official clothes I have, though I do have a bunch of accessories also. Outside of what’s in my collection post I’m happy to report I did finally find the Super Groupies Scepter 4 earrings!
There were other clothing collabs with Super Groupies that I skipped due to sizing concerns/price (the first Sarumi one they released was a normal hoodie with an itty bitty S4 logo on the hood and I wasn’t paying that much for a hoodie that barely has anything series related). All of these show up occasionally on Mercari or Suruga-ya, but you definitely need to be patient.
Bonus: I also have a special Scepter 4 skirt but it’s one of a kind because I made it myself 🥰
