The first time Senku sees her, it's a picture swiped from a picture frame she claims no one will notice missing. It's a group photo, and her letter challenges him to guess which one of the four girls she was.
He picks her out instantly.
He doesn't know too much about her yet at this point, but from what little he does know, he's certain the girl who looks like she sleeps far less than was healthy was his Odie.
When he sends his response, along with a photocopy of the picture with her face circled in bright red marker, he makes the point to tell her that she should take more naps, joking that she looked worse than he did after staying up all night working on his rocket.
Hard to do when there's so much noise in my house.
He doesn't quite understand what that means until a few months later, during one of their first phone calls.
Im sorry but im feeling extra soft and feelsy today so Gen teaching Tsukasa how to slow dance?
I'm. Physically ill over this
It's such a small thing, really.
The moment is a blip in time, and yet it meant everything in the moment.
Gen was humming to himself a song from the old world that he missed while taking a brisk evening walk.
The moon was high, the sky was clear, and the world was at total peace.
He does a little spin, losing himself in the moment, and not even considering that anyone was watching.
But just as he finishes his twirl, he catches Tsukasa from the corner of his eye.
The two men greet each other politely
And though there is no real reason to remain together
They do so anyway.
Tsukasa asks Gen what song he was singing
Gen just shrugs and doesn't give a real answer, as is typical
"It sounded nice coming from you," Tsukasa said
Gen's face flushes
And dares to ask if Tsukasa knows how to dance
He admits that he doesn't
Reminding Gen that he'd never gotten the chance to do such things
It's a risk, but Gen offers to teach him
"Just for fun," Gen says. "I won't tell a single soul if you don't want me to."
Tsukasa considers it, then hesitantly agrees.
He wasn't sure he could be gentle
Even with Gen, the man he cared for
But he lets Gen take his hands, and pull him in
One hand rests in Gen's, one on his waist
Gen's touch on his shoulder is featherlight, yet heavier than anything Tsukasa had ever felt
Tsukasa thinks his heart might explode when Gen smiles up at him
It's a real smile
A rare sight from the mentalist
"I'll lead, my dear Tsukasa," Gen says
He's awkward and stiff compared to Gen's more fluid and easy movements
But he manages not to step on his feet
Or trip
Or otherwise embarrass himself
Gen hums his song, giving them a soft soundtrack as they dance together
At some point, Tsukasa gets more confident, and takes the lead himself
Gen praises him, but his words don't feel flowery or fake, like they usually do
Not when his voice is so soft
His eyes filled with such warmth
Tsukasa twirls Gen, pulling him in and dipping him low like he'd seen in movies
Gen's face is bright red
"My, my. Already an expert, I see~" Gen coos
Tsukasa chuckles, pulling him back up.
"I have an excellent teacher."
Neither of them moves, both letting the moment really sink in
Then they part, hands hesitant to let go of the other.
"Shall I walk you back to camp?" Tsukasa asks
"I'd be honored, dearest."
Tsukasa curses himself for not kissing Gen before leaving him
Anyway back to writing Senku getting killed
need to send you an ask to congrats you on your lovely brain for your horror ideas oh my days!!! so good :3
I'm glad you enjoy my nightmare fuel as much as I do :3
Siren anon here! Just wanted to say I loved your take on the request! Much better and clever than what I could had imagined so I'm very happy of your work! \(^o^)/
I'm so glad you liked it!!
Senku pulling an Odysseus-esque move and playing a mind game (like Gen taught him let's be so real) was so fun to me
I might do more with Senku and the siren...I'm considering it~
Hi so my nsfw headcanon for Senku is that he is ever so slightly, like really low-key sadistic. Overstimulating his s/o, enjoying the whines a tiny bit too much. Pinching their cheek a second too long and with a tad of noticeable pressure. Never hurting them, but maybe causing a little sting. He just loves the reactions, scientists do that usually, right?
(At least he gives me those slightly mad vibes when he gets all insane about terribly dangerous chemicals.)
I could see that, though he definitely doesn't want to actually harm his partner in any way for real, so every pinch and poke is carefully calculated.
Playing with different sensations is a thing for him, I think.
The family lore that just got dropped for me is insane I have to add this to my list of mildly traumatic experiences to write fanfiction about later
A soft thing for Dabi
It's in the quiet of night, so late that neither of you should be awake, that the words escape you.
"It wasn't your fault."
They're whispered, so softly that you don't even realize you spoke them aloud until his head lifts from your chest to look at you with tired, confused eyes.
"Hm?" He nuzzles his nose into your chin, peppering soft kisses into your haw.
"It's nothing," You say softly. He takes your words at face value, or at least he seems to. Whether it's because he's not fully awake, or because he just trusts you that much, you'll never be sure. He just lays his head back down, resting his head against your chest once again.
What would he think, if you told him exactly what you were thinking? What would he think, if you told him that everything that's happened to him to make him the way he is now wasn't his fault? That it wasn't his choice to be born, to have a father like Endeavor who treated him so poorly he snapped at such a young age. That there had been no reason for him to burn himself alive over and over again just to prove a point that never should have needed to be made in the first place.
It wasn't his fault. He'd been a child. He never should have had to endure any of it.
But, like always, you keep your mouth shut. You hold him tighter, kiss his head, and whisper that you love him.
Okay, so I saw a post on How Gen was originally supposed to be the one unpetrified instead of Suika. But how both Boichi and Riichiro Inagaki changed it to her because it will hit people more in the feels in an interview. Now I'm just thinking of the different possibilities of what if; one that kinda stuck is what if it was one of the cast s/o, like senkus, ukyo, Gen, Tsukasa or even Kohaku. Like bro the feelings it would be after those 7 years of being petrified and coming back to be the only one who came back
OKAY BUT WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME
The absolute heartbreak. It's one thing to have to make revival fluid on your own, it's another thing having to do it while your lover is trapped in stone.
Imagine the first day Senku wakes up, his eyes landing on his significant other who's seven years older now. The tears, the yelling, the hug.
I'm gonna go lay down and cry
Slow dancing with xeno-
That's the post.
What would the first thing you'd request from Senku, Xeno, Yuzuriha, Kaseki, etc. (whomever you find to be able to fulfill your desires)? Would you even request something, or would you feel too indebted? Or is there an amount of time you'd need to warm up enough to request something?
Oh this one is hard.
I think I'd need to have a good, long, sit down and cry over everything first, for sure.
As for asking for anything, I'm really not sure.
