QUIET TIMES

QUIET TIMES

16:27, Tuesday

The scratches of your pencil flooded your mind as your eyebrows scrunched in deep thought. The current assignment for school had been more grueling than anticipated.

Frustration hit as you took a small break to clear your mind.

Mid-exhale a loud knock at your door alerted you. Your parents had gone out for their anniversary leaving the house to you.

Cautiously approaching the front door you peaked out the hole to see none other than Shinichi Okazaki.

「Why are you here, Shin?」

「To see you, of course!」 He flashed his most innocent smile and shook the door knob.

With an exasperated sigh, you reluctantly opened the door for the boy, 「Thanks!」

Throwing yourself on the couch you stare over at your new guest. 「Why are you actually here?」 You ask once again.

Turning to you with a mischievous glimmer in his eyes he parts his lips, 「Help me dye my hair.」

Scoffing softly you smirk, 「That’s all? I thought it’d be more drastic.」 He threw his head back dramatically, 「So are you gonna help or not?」

「Sure.」

Giddily pulling out two boxes of hair dye from his pocket he strutted towards the bathroom. 「Well? What’re we waiting for?」

16:45, Tuesday

The snap of the protective gloves alerted Shin whom had just taken an—unpleasant—seat on the bathroom tile. 「Alright you’re hair is pretty light already so we probably shouldn’t let the bleach sit in it too long.」

Sighing deeply, 「Just make sure my hair doesn’t turn brassy.」, he leaned backwards onto your legs.

Fully mixing the color concoction together you set it aside in exchange for bleach. Unwillingly sniffing it as you applied it along Shin’s hair.

「Tingly.」 He snipped as the bleach settled. His comments died down as the time went on and his hair lightened. The timer softly ticking away.

Sitting in blissful silence his eyes wandered to your unfinished homework. 「Yikes, so glad I don’t have to do that.」 He snickered as you glared at his unhelpful comment. 「Don’t look at me like that, take it as a compliment, you’re smart!」 Dropping your glare as the timer for his bleach went off.

Shinichi instinctually following behind you, the both of you made your return to the bathroom. 「I think one round of bleach is fine, but, are you sure you want this blue color?」

「Yeah, it’s gonna look nice, if you don’t mess it up of course.」

Grabbing the sky stained bowl you cut your eyes at him, 「You’re hilarious.」

Lathering his hair in blue the slouching of the dye rang through your ears.

The peace ensued as you both let the dye sit. A comforting silence rather than awkward.

Having the timer go off a final time you began to wash the excess dye out of Shin’s hair.

「Sick bowl cut, Shin.」 You slyly snickered at his wet hair. 「I look good regardless.」 He immediately retorted simultaneously spiking up his hair.

「Anyways—thanks for the help! The ladies will love this.」

「Anytime! Now go on, the women are getting impatient can’t you hear it?」 His brows quirked in confusion.

Taking on a higher pitch you whined, 「Oh Shin get over here with that Sonic hair of yours! My money is waiting!」

「Shut up.」 He playfully pushed you away.

Hello! Seeing as you are a fellow Leo fan I wanted to ask how you felt about Leo's new Tekken8 design. Personally, I find it very cool! Leo looks amazing in red!

I fucking LOVE Leo’s new design it’s very striking and iconic I want their jacket so badly and ur right Leo looks amazing in red‼️

Don’t hate me for not including majority of TRAPNEST I just despise most of them😭

AFFECTION HCs

Gender Neutral Reader

Within the first week of getting together Leo is kind of distant in terms of affection

Don’t get me wrong they’re grateful for you and love you A LOT but bro’s lost like their entire family 💀

They need time to get adjusted to having someone so close again

When that first week passes they’re stuck to you like a magnet

I get the feeling that they’re really into quality time

Just being near you is enough for them

Hope you like to travel because Leo is constantly on the move looking for answers

Leo’s gotten used to sleeping alone so they won’t take up much space in bed

You’d have to physically hold them in place to not have them on the VERY edge of the bed

Doesn’t care for PDA that much

Just an occasional hand holding or arm on shoulder but nothing serious unless you initiated first

Prefers hugs to kisses

Leo wears gloves majority of the time but their hands are naturally cold(trust me bro)

If you’re shorter than them they’ll rest their head on your shoulder/head

If you’re taller Leo’s fine if you lean on them

Leo would burst into tears if you made them breakfast for any reason even if it’s a daily thing

Would be ecstatic if you cheered them on during the tournament

ofc unless you’re also participating

Appreciates it if you aid them with investigating their mother’s death(why wouldn’t you)

As much as Leo loves taking you everywhere with them they wouldn’t bring you spelunking with them

Shit is dangerous as hell stay outta the caves🗣️‼️

Brings you back rocks though and pictures

Will make chores a two person thing

It’ll be faster together after all

Would let you wear anyone of their jackets if you wanted

Has made it a habit later in the relationship to share EVERYTHING

Like you go out to eat you’ll just get one food item and share it

Excluding certain items like pizza that deadass can’t be shared unless you rip it in half💀

They’ll go with you to do anything

Wanna go feed ducks? Sure!

Painting class? Why not!

Rob a bank? Well, that’s wrong but—okay!

Leo just wants to make you as happy as you have made them ⛹️💨

CONVENIENT CATASTROPHE

Fem Reader

Oh boy!🤡

When you mentioned wanting some snacks during your weekly movie night to Tyler he was LESS than thrilled to have to go outside

But you’re his girlfriend so how could he possibly deny you your snacks

So here he was standing like a disappointed dad at a soccer match as you scanned the aisles for your movie ammo

Now how this plays out all depends on how many people are in the store

If there’s like two or three you get your snacks and get back to the movie marathon

If it’s packed then shit is goin down💀

For the sake of drama there’s a cluster of people here

The line is long as hell to check out at the counter and this one dude is holding everyone up over a ripped twenty

Bro would NOT let this go either

“Seriously, dude? You’re holding up the line.”

“Shut up bitch you’re holding up the line!”

“That doesn’t even make any sense.”

The constant back and fourth between the you and the customer irritated Tyler to no end

“Just leave.”

Though words didn’t seem to make much of an impact as the man kept rambling on about how they should accept the ripped bill

One last rejection too many and the man grabbed his items and walked out without paying

“Sir!”

Deeply sighing at the pitfall of simply going to get snacks Tyler passed his singular can of Cola to you before taking off after the man

Returning conveniently right as you reached the register with all the stolen items in his grasp

“How courageous of you.”

“We’re never coming here again.”

At least you got your snacks but you also got a free trial of Tyler’s ability to hold grudges as you’ve never returned to that store for movie nights again

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — More than half a million people in Gaza — a quarter of the population — are starving, according to a report Thursday by the U.N. and other agencies that highlights the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The extent of the population’s hunger eclipsed even the near-famines in Afghanistan and Yemen of recent years, according to figures in the report. The report warned that the risk of famine is “increasing each day,” blaming the hunger on insufficient aid entering Gaza. “It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza. And at this speed.” ... At the start of the war, Israel stopped all deliveries of food, water, medicine and fuel into the territory. After U.S. pressure, it allowed a trickle of aid in through Egypt. But U.N. agencies say only 10% of Gaza’s food needs has been entering for weeks. (Dec. 21, 2023 | Source)
