Cw!!: Mentions Of Injury, Nicotine Addiction/ Smoking

cw!!: mentions of injury, nicotine addiction/ smoking

banri worries me soooo much he’s such a silly guy <33 like? this kid’s forearms were constantly peppered with tiny nicks and scrapes for 4 straight years of his life. during his first year at mankai his hands, specifically his knuckles, were always bruised. he still has scars. there’s a big one that traces a line across his right shoulder blade. his sister dressed that one. she didnt say anything when he shuffled into her bedroom, and he didnt say anything when she started crying. she never told on him. he didnt have to ask her not to. that scar is the one that healed the best.

first year at mankai, omi almost wanted to cry when he saw this little kid who reeked of tobacco when he snuck back inside at 4:15 am. how he had habit of going to lifting an arm to cover his face when someone yells. how he flexes his hand in a strange way when he walks past someone holding a knife, even a black rubber prop. practically all of akigumi have noticed something that scared them. juza. how often would he’d bite his tongue, keep secrets without being asked, because he knew banri trusted him to? this high school boy who set his jaw when the movies they watched had fight scenes in them. how he set his jaw in the same way when watching a romantic one. how he postures his shoulders different when he goes out with izumi, or the younger kids. hell, even with azuma and tsumugi. banri who always walks smack in the middle of a hallway so he can see if someone is rounding the corner on any side. [taichi has developed a habit of tapping the toe of his slipper into the floor every now and then when he’s walking around late at night. as much as he doesnt want sakyo to catch him, that split second look banri gave when taichi accidentally snuck up on him, that unsettling mix of fear and reflexive anger and intensity. god. he’d take sakyo over that any day]. when banri offers his jacket to izumi when she forgets hers, he knows she doesnt miss him quickly emptying his pockets. nor does she miss the light scent of tobacco that mixes with his expensive ass cologne. he is grateful while they’re outside she only gives him a look when she pulls up the collar of his jacket. its the wordless ‘we’re going to have this conversation. you aren’t getting out of it. later, after dinner. i’ll find you, don’t worry.’ and he gave her a look when she said she still felt her hands reflexively go into her pocket for her lighter every now and then.

she helped him quit. bless that damn annoying woman, his director. she helped him. and, of course, in the weirdest way settsu had ever heard. izumi offered to buy his cigarettes from now on. she’d help him cut down. he just had to swear to only smoke the ones she bought. he kept his word. she kept hers. by the end of year 2 he was done. and he pretended not to see when izumi got teary-eyed as he handed back the last handful of loosies.

Post-show Blues(Sakuya x reader)

Summary/preview: “Sakuya here! You have post show depression? Hey, it’s okay, I can help. Would you mind coming into my arms for a sec?” Enjoy a fluffy oneshot I wrote because my show ended and now I’m sad!

Notes/tags: Sakuya Sakuma/reader, Actor!Reader, GN!reader, fluff, comfort, oneshot, Drabble, can be interpreted as platonic or romantic you choose

You shuffled to the door of Sakuya and Citron’s room, coming to a halt as you knocked on the door. It was nearly 2 am, and your head hung low, the nervousness you felt spiking when you saw the doorknob turn as Sakuya poked his head out.

“Oh, hey, what are you doing here?” He asked, fully opening the door for you.

“I, uh, couldn’t sleep.” You simply stated, faking a sheepish smile.

You were an actor, after all.

The truth was actually a lot sillier than the fact that you couldn’t sleep. The run of the show you were in had finally ended, and it was beginning to feel as if your life had lost some of its meaning.

Sakuya smiled at your false reasoning, happy that, from his perspective, at least, you were doing okay.

“Well, if that’s the case, you’re always welcome here, no matter what. Citron’s actually out tonight, so it’ll just be the two of us if that’s okay.”

“That’s perfect, actually.” You replied, still keeping your smile plastered on your face.

Sakuya led you into the room, shutting the door behind you as he turned on a small lamp. He then climbed up the ladder to his bed, gesturing for you to do the same.

You went up, slightly worried about the weight limit, but it seemed like it didn’t matter to Sakuya.

Laying down next to him, your faces within close proximity, you couldn’t help but blush. If you leaned in any further… now wasn’t really the time for that.

“So”, Sakuya started, a low tone to his voice, “do you mind telling me what happened? Other than not being able to sleep, of course.”

His smile was warm and welcoming, ready to accept anything, no matter how odd. Your eyes filled with tears once more, nervous to say anything.

“Nothing, just bad sleeping habits is all.”

“Are you sure? I can see your tears, so something must be wrong.” Your eyes widened, and you were suddenly hyper aware of what your face looked like.

You blinked, allowing the tears to fall.

“Dammit…” you muttered. Sakuya held your face, gently swiping his thumb across your cheek to wipe the single tear away.

“Will you please tell me what’s wrong? I’m not going to say anything to anyone else about this.” He whispered, trying to reassure you.

You took a deep inhale, then sighed out, remembering the reason you came to him out of everyone else in the company.

If anyone would understand it would be him…

You mustered up some courage, then finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

“It’s just some post-show depression. It’s nothing, really, but it’s still hard for me. I’m gonna miss doing this production.” Sakuya’s eyes widened, then softened with understanding before pulling you closer to his chest.

“I know the feeling. It’s always hard to lose what took over your life for a long time, and most of the time, you never get to see the cast again. It’s hard, I know, but that’s what makes Mankai so special. You still get to have these people near you, and even without Mankai, you’ll probably stay in touch with your cast. I used to get really bad post show depression, but since I came here, it’s never been as hard as it used to be. I’m not going to tell you to just get over it, nor am I saying your feelings aren’t irrelevant or not valid. I just want to give you some exciting hope for the future with us, and I hope you’ll stay for years to come.”

The more he talked, the more reassured you felt, and the more tears began to flow.

You cried and cried, snuggling deep into Sakuya’s shoulder as he rubbed your back and whispered kind words into your ear.

Who knew that simple things such as “I’m proud of you” and “You did great, now you can rest until the next one” could make you feel so happy and warm?

Sakuya shifted onto his back, gently readjusting your body so he could hold you on top of his chest.

You found yourself finally drowsy after a good cry, and you snuggled into his hold accordingly. He tightened his grip on you, giving you a reassuring squeeze before planting his lips onto your forehead.

The kiss lingered for a moment, allowing you to both drink in the comfort and tenderness the moment held. Sakuya finally released his lips, beginning to toy with your hair.

“Good night”, he whispered, “I’ll see you on stage soon.”

Request from @starnightsthings: Can I request a romantic Banri x reader confession and possibly a first date?

So, I actually finished the confession scenario and had it fully edited before I realized you asked for a first date as well, so I ended up just doing the confession, I’m so sorry!! Please enjoy this!

Request rules

When Banri asked you to meet him behind the school, you were surprised to say the least.

The two of you had talked a few times, sure, maybe done a few group projects together, but it was rare that you were together alone, and outside of class, no less.

That, and your feelings for him were a bit hard to hide when it was just the two of you.

But still, why this? Yet, despite your doubts, you complied with his request, and after classes got out, you met him behind the B building like he asked in the text he sent you.

The sight that greeted you when you got there was even stranger than the text.

You were met with Banri leaning his back against the wall, the wind flowing through his hair, giving the impression that he had walked out of a shojo manga. Hell, add some rose petals and you’d be all set.

Although, one thing about his stance stood out. He held something in his hands, and he seemed to be playing with it endlessly. Not too odd, but given that he was kind of a stuck-up douche, it was a little questionable to see him nervously fidget with something.

You didn’t get too much of a good look at him before he noticed you, though.

“Oh, hey, you made it.” He greeted, quickly stuffing the object into his back pocket.

“Yep. What’s up? It’s a little weird that you’d want just me, so whatcha need?” you asked as casually as you could.

Banri took in a deep breath through his nose.

“Well, you know that coffee shop that opened on Veludo recently?”

“Yeah, I’ve been meaning to go there, why?”

“We’ll, the Autumn Troupe’s rehearsals are slowing down a bit, so I was wondering if you’d wanna go with me? Y’know, on a date?” he asked, his voice was ever so slightly shaky.

“Oh.”

It took a moment for you to fully process his words.

“Wait, like on a romantic date?”

“Yeah, like that.”

Banri’s appearance was cool, his expression never faltering, and his calmness never fading. If only you knew how nervous he was, and that was on top of trying to to burst out with affection and teasing due to your cuteness and charm.

It took a moment for you to reply.

“Um, sure. That sounds fun.” You replied, your volume slightly lower than normal.

You had the same false demeanor Banri did. Sure, you seemed fine, a little nervous, but overall fine, yet your heart was the opposite. You could practically hear it thundering in your ears, and your brain was caught in a doozy over the thought that the guy you’ve liked for months now actually likes you back.

“Oh, and,” Banri interrupted your thoughts, “I grabbed this for ya. You know, ‘cause it’s cute. Like you.”

From behind his back, he pulled out the object he was hiding.

A single cosmo flower.

You took it, quietly thanking him.

“Yeah, you’re welcome. I had some of the gardening club gals help me out. Apparently it’s supposed to symbolize things falling into place and fate ‘n’ all that. Thought it suited us.”

Finally, for the first time since the conversation started, Banri smiled.

And while you admired the flower, he took the chance to give you a quick kiss on the forehead.

You looked up at him, unaware of what had happened.

Then it hit you.

Ohhhh my god what do I do?!? You tried to remain calm, but the way your face reddened quicker than you would have liked gave everything away to Banri.

“Heh. Cute.”

wHAT.

Somehow, everything he did after that damn kiss flustered you, and you couldn’t do anything about it.

So, without even thinking, you plopped your face into Banri’s chest, turning the tables as he felt his own face heat up.

Thankfully, however, he gingerly placed his arms across your back, slowly pulling you closer.

“I love you.” you whispered into his chest.

“Love you too, dollface.” he whispered right back.
