Itto Arataki X Reader - Tumblr Posts
Currently thinking about writing an Itto x reader fic. A friends to lovers oneshot white tedious pinning and yearning. It’ll be chalked full of flowery scenes and descriptions, to help sell just how deeply in love they are with each other. I’m talking details about both POV’s thoughts of “oh but they’d never like me like that”. I imagine the gang is there like “Just get together already for archon’s sake!!”.
Thinking about laying in a field of flowers the two of you found after tumbling down a hill during a race, starring at the way his platinum hair reflects the light of the sun in such an ethereal manner. How despite him being an oni he was always so gentle when he cradled you in his large arms. How he stares back at you with all the fondness of the world, as if you hung the stars in the sky just for him, and honestly? If it meant him looking at you like that, with those eyes? You would.
Thinking about you playing genius invocation TCG against him. He keeps losing, of course he does, but that doesn’t stop him from claiming “you have beginners luck” or “he was just warming up”. He can’t help but admit defeat in his own mind. What a rare thing for a prideful man as himself, but you where just perfect, smart and pretty and caring. Obviously you would win. But he doesn’t say that, that would be such a weird thing for you best friend to say right?
Thinking about Itto getting jealous when someone flirts with you when you’re walking through the colourful streets of Inazuma City. This guy thinks he stands a chance compared to “the one and oni Itto”. Obviously your oni was the better choice! It’s even in the title he gave himself ,your oni! This rando was nothin’ compared to him. Then the thought hits him that.. maybe all you were was friends, just friends. But when you shuffle closer to Itto in discomfort from the other man, he knows that even if you don’t choose him.. he’ll always be there for you.
Thinking about Itto being more instinctive around you and that’s when you know he’s caught: hook line and sinker. He starts gifting you little trinkets, a flower or rock he found. He starts purring when you nap together, starts acting even more cocky than usual if it’s to show off his strength. He’s trying to provide for you, and in the animalistic part of his brain he’s showing how amazing of a mate he is.
They go out on a date in the end. They get their happy, fairytale ending because what else would I write reader inserts for other than to live vicariously through them?
Something about longing for a romance in a romance story scratches my brain in that perfect way.
Should I write this?
Arataki Gang Hcs
• I head-canon that the Arataki Gang all live / constantly visit Granny Oni. Like her house is pretty much their hideout
• Granny probably makes them snacks while they’re beetle fighting
• Granny Oni definitely loves Kuki like a daughter
• Major family dynamic
• They started getting in trouble with the tenryou commission on accident but now they’re kinda’ trying to annoy them on purpose.
• They totally host mini beetle fighting and TCG tournaments between the members.
• For sure have movie nights at least three times a month.
• They all chip in to by pizza and snacks for movie night.
I honestly love this group so much <3
you complete my heart, literally.
you make half a heart with your fingers and ask them to complete it.
cast: diluc, kaeya, itto, childe, xiao, and childe.
warnings: none, i thought i should mention.
// DiLUC RAGViNDR! was confused by what you were doing in front of him. he bit his glove off and copied your actions, when he realized what it made. his red face looked away, as your fingers gently touched, much to your own excitement.
// KAEYA ALBERiCH! chuckled to himself and lazily lifted his hand. instead of completing your heart he gave you a thumbs up. you frowned, to his amusement before he finally copied your action. pls give him the thumbs up back.
// iTTO ARATAKi! became giddy at the sight of you incomplete heart. he rushed to your side to place his half to complete yours and insisted on taking a picture, one he’d show off to every poor soul he saw.
// XiAO! genuinely did not understand. he stared at your hand with his usual stoic expression, wait for an explanation. when you explained he refused, face red, and insisted it was a demon thing.
// CHILDE! pretended to not understand what you were doing. he blinked and shrugged going back to his papers. if you don’t stop he’ll look up at you and study your expression, mainly to embarrass you so you’d stop and when you do he’d say, “hey, i didn’t get to finish it yet.”
