Hi!
I really enjoy reading your fics! If your request are still open can i request a bonten ran x reader. Reader is at the club with her friend but the thing is she is really insecure about herself. Her âfriendâ are honestly toxic towards her. Ran keeps looking at reader and she notices but also one of her so call friends does too. The friend gets jealous and wonât stop saying how ran is looking at her. Ran finally decided to make a move on reader but the friends her off by beginning to talk to him. Obviously ran outs her back in her place and starts talking to reader. Sorry if itâs too long. Feel free to ignore if itâs too much!

It was interesting to write fluff for Bonten Ran though.Â
I hope you enjoy it đ
Title: I Saw You
Pairing: Reader x Ran
Summary: You went to a club with your childhood friend only to catch the attention of a well-known crime syndicate member. | Genre: Fluff |Warnings: Some Angst, Toxic friend | Words:Â 4.1K
Putting on the clothes you picked up for yourself earlier has proven to be an even harder chore than the shower you took or the makeup you put on a while ago. Your heart simply wasnât in it to go out tonight, and until the last few minutes that you had to leave, you prayed your friend would call to cancel. It wasnât nice to wish for such a thing, you knew, but you couldnât help yourself.Â
Your friend was someone you shared history with during the time, you were younger, and you lacked a bigger friend circle. Not much has changed since then, but you would like to think you did find people who were just a better fit for you, especially after your friend found herself other friends and a boyfriend ultimately leaving you behind. It hurt a lot at first to be on your own like that, but over time, you found a few good friends and didnât dwell on it too much.Â
When you met your friend a day ago and got the chance and reminisce about those few moments, you had to spare on the street, it was really nice and fun. You were close for so long as kids and shared many good memories from that time. You didnât hesitate much to agree to meet today and catch up more, but when your friend suggested a night out in the club, you really wished you had.Â
Clubs, especially as fancy ones as the one she took you to, werenât your scene. The only reason, you forced yourself to go was because you were never certain how to avoid such things once you agreed and because she was your childhood friend.
A part of you wanted to keep reminiscing about those good times you shared, and another part felt sympathy when she confessed her boyfriend broke up with her after falling in love with her former best friend. It seemed like she was going through a lot, but one chuckle and savage âLooks, like you, still dress like you did when we were kids, huh?â comment later, and apart from those good times you shared as children, you started to recall other instances when you would beg your family to lie whenever your friend came to ask you out to play or was glad when she was gone for a week because she went to visit her grandparents.Â
Sheâs just hurting, you told yourself as you tried to start the topic of your shared past or her recent heartache to vent, but she hushed you and looked away leaving you nursing the coke you ordered surrounded by strangers behind some table inside some loud club.Â
Your eyes lifted up to look around the place and for a moment you thought you caught a handsome man looking at you as he leisurely passed the table almost stopping at one point to prolong the moment and watch you.
Heat immediately hit your face, and you were certain, he noticed as he calmly smiled at you his downturned purple eyes making his face look softer now.
Your self-awareness caught up to you and you cast your gaze down. You werenât ever one to draw the male attention, and even if you did, you never really knew what to do with it.Â
But it felt really nice to feel admired for a second by the man though.Â
When you gathered some spare courage and look up again, the man was sadly gone, and you felt a part of you was honestly disappointed by this.Â
More time has passed and your mood was properly dropping. A few men showed up by the table trying to ask your friend out, ignoring you most of the time, but she always declined, âOh, you donât have to worry about me. You can go dance with them and have fun.â Even if it would suck even more if you were left on your own, you would feel bad if your friend was wasting a night because of you.
She laughed as if you were being ridiculous, âDonât be silly. Why would I bother with those third-grade losers when he hasnât stopped looking my way once since we got here?â
Your eyes blinked as you were surprised by her words. Due to your shyness, you didnât really remain looking at anyone for too long, but you still thought you would notice someone staring for too long, âWho?â
âHaitani Ran,â said your friend like it should have been obvious adding a mocking sound after the name at your ignorance, âHe hasnât stopped looking at me since we got here. Heâs not subtle about it at all.â
She turned away from you, and you followed the direction she was currently facing away from you.
There were a lot of people present in the club tonight, but even still, it was rather obvious, your friendâs interest lay solely on the VIP table that was set on a platform height above the others giving its occupants the perfect view of the club and everyone there. The table was full just like your own.Â
There were mostly men engaging in sipping their drinks while talking with maybe two women in revealing clothes that seemed to be the eye candy to a certain large and old-looking man.Â
For a moment, you were still unsure, of who your friend meant by the name she gave you, but then your eyes were met with someone elseâs.Â
You blinked and looked away momentarily embarrassed that you got caught, but when you looked again, you found the man was still keeping his gaze on you with something like a calm smile playing across his face. You realized because of that smile it was the same handsome man who stopped by your table earlier.Â
Your heart speeded up and subconsciously, you ran your palms over your clothes as if trying to iron out the wrinkles while once again pushing your gaze toward your lap feeling all too self-aware of his profound gaze, âUh, w-which one is he?â
âOnly the most gorgeous one,â said your friend and as if it should have been obvious before she fixed her dress to reveal more cleavage.Â
After a moment she sighed almost longingly, âThe man in the expensive purple suit with light purple and black hair.â
You blinked and lifted your eyes again realizing she was talking about the man, you previously caught eyes with. It surprised you how much the realization left you disappointed and down. It had to mean you merely mistook he was looking at you before and was probably eyeing your friend the entire time. It made sense your friend caught so many menâs interests tonight, and she was truly a stunning and attractive woman with confidence in herself, unlike someone like you.
âUh, heâs good-looking,â you agreed and turned to your friend to offer her some support hiding your true feelings as best as you could, but she quickly rolled her eyes at you, âHeâs hot and one of the most powerful men in the city thatâs what is he is. No one would dare to cross or humiliate me if I was the girlfriend of Haitani Ran.â
You blinked confused and alerted upon hearing that before you looked at the man again. He was still pretty far along with his friends or business partners, and it was obvious they had to be important people to be seated in the VIP zone, but it wasnât until your eyes lowered from his face that you caught the real reason why your friend said what she did.Â
You swallowed feeling your heart speed up for a different reason, âH-hey, is thatâŠisnât that tattoo the symbol of the Bonten?â Everyone in the city and their mother knew about the most ruthless criminal syndicate that gained power a few years ago and slowly took over the city and soon would probably control the entire country too.Â
She seemed pleased that you noticed, âYes. Wouldnât it be perfect revenge for my ex to see me with such a hot and dangerous man?â
You couldnât believe what she was saying and feared she might have planned something far worse than the petty revenge of who ended up the winner in some relationship feud.Â
Taking a deep breath and gathering your thoughts you looked up only to find the man saying something to the other man and standing up all the while looking in your direction.Â
Your heart speeded up again because even despite what your friend said about him eyeing her all night, you found your eyes hypnotized by his as he didnât seem to want to allow you to look away.
âLeave us,â hissed your friend startling you enough to look away from the man and at her confused not just by her words but by the fact that you seemed to have shared a very intense eye contact with a member of the most dangerous gang around, âW-what?â
âHeâs coming over,â she said looking annoyed that you didnât seem to understand, âHe probably doesnât want to sit around and hit on me with my keychain friend around, donât you think?â
Her words hurt a lot, but at that moment, they didnât hurt as much as they could since you were still partly shaken by what was going on.Â
Still, you got to your feet and mumbled a weak goodbye, but only managed a couple of steps away from the table before you felt someone very gently put their hand on your lower back.Â
You turned to look at the person surprised. You were never one to appreciate new touches from strangers, but this person touched you so gently that it was almost like he simply kept his palm close enough for you to feel his warmth rather than the real feeling of pressure.Â
Whatever thought you had run inside your mind over some stranger touching you immediately vanished as you found yourself face to face with the enigmatic and dangerous Haitani Ran whose name you only knew because your friend planned to let him hit on her.Â
Everything about him was even more beautiful and breathtaking up close. The shape of his purple eyes made him look far too relaxed and calm, but the intensity of his gaze on your face was in direct contrast with such feelings.
Your lips parted, but you couldnât form any words just yet since you were too stunned to have such a man, this close to you all the while watching you as if he didnât want to look anywhere else.Â
He was still smiling at you calmly, but being able to see his smile meant you could also have a good look at the Bonten symbol tattooed over his throat making you remember just who this man really was.
You stepped a bit away from his reach fixing your purse ready to leave when you felt him lean closer to your head and raise his hand to your arm although he never once actually let his palm touch you, âDonât go yet. Please.â
Your heart missed a beat and then speeded up monstrously fast as you heard his velvet voice say so close to your ear.Â
You watched him lean away to look at your face so confused yet tempted by those words alone simply because no one, especially someone as handsome as this person, ever looked at you in a way they really wanted you to stay in their presence as Haitani Ran did just now.Â
Just then your friend came from behind the man and stumbled sort of into his side, âOh, excuse me,â she giggled all too loudly, âYou know you shouldnât bother my friend. Sheâs already leaving to wake up early for her job tomorrow. Sheâs not fun like that,â you heard her say, and not for the first time tonight averted your eyes feeling all too insecure and humiliated by her recalling it wasnât all that different when you were younger.
âI, on the other hand, have all the time-â
âYou should use that time, to think why youâre such a shitty friend then,â said the man with a completely different voice than the one he used on you not a moment ago causing you to look back up.Â
He was looking at your friend, but nothing about his gaze spoke of calmness, âYou should never call someone a friend unless you plan to be completely loyal to them.â
Ran smirked then, but there was nothing kind about it before he leaned down toward your friendâs ear and said something to her you couldnât hear over the sounds of the music around you.Â
Your friendâs face went very pale, and her eyes widened with pure horror before she turned around and went back to the table snatching her purse and quickly rushing past you without a single word.Â
You should have gone after her, right? It was the right thing to do. The nice thing to do, but shockingly you found your feet planted against the floor simply looking at the man who just scared her off.Â
âW-what did you tell her?â you asked as the man stepped closer to you again, almost enough that your bodies could touch, but somehow still maintaining distance.Â
His wild smirk softened again, âI simply told her how I treat people who are disloyal to me.â
You swallowed and felt unsettled imagining what it could mean coming from someone associated with a crime syndicate like Bonten, âWhat do you want from me?â
It was a fair question, even if it surprised you, you managed to ask at all. This man was dangerous, and maybe you had a chance to run away from him, but at the same time still having his eyes on you, you couldnât help but stay in place. And despite your anxiety, you couldnât help but think it wasnât fear that was making you.
âI saw you when I first walked in,â he confessed and took a proper look up and down your body, âYouâre very beautiful. Extraordinary,â he played with the word with his tongue, âI never see women like you around here.â
It made sense; you werenât the type for these gatherings.Â
You pointed behind you and admitted, âMy friend took me here.â
Ran grinned upon hearing your words, âYou could have mentioned that sooner. I would have been nicer to her knowing I had her to thank to be able to talk with you.â
His purple eyes were still very much planted on your face, and despite what he said, you couldnât really believe it. You werenât approached often and certainly not by men like him.Â
âCan I buy you a drink and take you someplace quieter to talk?â he said seemingly with all the relaxed confidence in the world causing your face to feel warm and your palms to sweat. It should have been alarming to have someone like him interested in you, but you couldnât help yourself but feel only your usual self.
âMen like you usually donât want to just talk,â you found yourself saying weakly.
Ranâs calm smile became edgier as his eyes never once left yours, âAre you an expert on men like me, darling?â he asked mocking you and making you feel embarrassed and nervous again for a whole new reason.
You couldnât really answer him though, so you remained quiet as you looked away only for him to lean closer to your face again in a way that forced you to look back at him, âIf you know men like me so well, do you believe we can keep our word?â
His closeness was almost unbearable, and you had to remind yourself he was a dangerous man because the alternative was to get far too excited and invested in his obvious interest that you still found hard to fully believe yet.
Still, you gave him a small nod and watched his smile return as his velvet voice said, âThen you have my word I simply want to talk.âÂ
You realized immediately you fell into a trap but found it hard to care all that much. It was overwhelming to be the center of attention of such a man, but at the same time, it wasnât as horrible as you would have imagined.Â
You nodded again and when Ran leaned away motioning where to go, you did so almost immediately, all the while feeling the presence of his hand close to your lower back as he followed you.
For the first time ever in such a crowded place, no one knocked into you. In fact, it seemed everyone went out of their way, to make sure, they werenât even close to you.Â
The man who seemed to be watching over the elevator nodded and pushed the bottom for you while you waited. It was surreal and more than just a bit hard to process.Â
Panic kicked in. Were you really planning to go somewhere with a known member of a crime syndicate, you just meet? You didnât really tell any of your friends you went to this club, and they didnât know your old childhood friend so who was to say anyone would ever find out what happened to you if you were to never make it home?Â
Your heart sank and the fear must have shown across your face because Ran leaned closer to your ear and comforted you, âItâs alright. You have my word remember? I just want to take you somewhere nice and quiet to talk. May I?â
Your eyes moved to his face as he leaned away. Despite the red flags and overthinking it was hard not to believe him.Â
In the end, you allowed the elevator to take you up into a hallway and then found yourself up on a balcony looking over the beauty of Tokyo at night.Â
âOh,â you breathed out in awe over the beautiful sight, you rarely got to see before you felt the cold wind hit your body on places your clothing didnât cover.Â
âHere, take this,â said Ran and offered you his jacket almost immediately putting it across your shoulders and smiling at you, âBetter, darling?â
âYes,â you admitted and looked at him as he came to take a place beside you leaning against the balcony ledge, âI like to come here and think sometimes. It clears the head to look at things from a higher perspective, donât you think?â
The night air hit your face making it easier to breathe.Â
You nodded feeling pleased as you were truly grateful to be away from the loud music, the smell of smoke, and alcoholic behavior, âIt feels much better here.â
The city below you was noisy too, but at the same time, it felt rather peaceful since it was just you two up there.Â
You couldnât help but glance at your companion at the same time he turned to look at you as well, âDo you know who I am?â
He reached out his name for you to take, and you watched it for a moment too long before you finally did accept it.Â
Almost immediately he brought it to his face and almost gave you cardiac arrest by pressing his lips eagerly against your kiss marking it in some way as you could feel the heat of his lips even when they leaned away to say, âMy name is Ran.â
Your heart was beating all too fast, as he finally let your hand go and it fell back to your side.Â
You nodded after a few seconds of trying to compose yourself, âM-my-,â you found yourself pausing as you didnât want to say the friend out loud again, âThe person I came with told me, and I noticed your tattoo,â you said and pointed to his throat smiling a bit unsure, âIâm y/n.â
Ran grinned looking delighted, âThatâs really your name, isnât it?â
You felt like you might be blushing from embarrassment again, âOf course, it is. Why wouldnât be?â
He shrugged his shoulders and laughed a bit, âThere was always an option for you to lie to me. Now, I can use it to find out things about you.â
You looked over the ledge again feeling like maybe you should have been worried, but with how calmly he spoke about it and how nice it was up here, you felt a lot of your anxiety and usual insecurities shrink.Â
âOr you could simply ask me those things like an ordinary person,â you suggested and offered him a tiny smile to show him you were teasing him slightly.Â
He seemed to like that because he laughed some more and leaned closer to you, âAlright, please tell me something about yourself. Besides that, youâre very beautiful and have poor taste in friends.â
âNot all of them,â you quickly felt the need to defend yourself, âI just know her for a long time. Itâs hard to sometimes untangle yourself from such a person when you focus on the good things you went through.â
âBut it cannot last,â he said, âNot when you evolve from that person, yet they stay the same.âÂ
You nodded agreeing as you knew for a while now that your friend acted rather toxic toward you and not just tonight, âYes.â
âThen perhaps enough about her,â said Ran, and with all the ease and time in the world, he reached toward you and brushed your hair aside ghosting his fingertips over your face, âTell me about yourself already, y/n. I can hardly wait.â
Your heart skipped another beat and despite the possibility of all of this being some sort of trick to deceive you or hurt you, you believed him.Â
You spoke a bit about yourself. It was tiring at times since you were never one to brag, so you tried to keep it factual, but it seemed Ran took it upon himself to overpraise your every smallest achievement as if it was something that you should have gotten an award for you.Â
You never had anyone so thrilled about the things in your life as he did by knowing you for less than a day, and you couldnât help, but feel delicate warmth and thrilling heat spread across your body at his behavior toward you.Â
It felt far too enjoyable to have the attention of Haitani Ran all to yourself like this.
You talked for what felt like far too long only to stop once exhaustion kicked in and you yawned.Â
He moved closer to you and got you to gasp as you felt his hand reach into the pocket of his jacket to check the time all the while grinning at you, âRelax, darling, you seem far too tired for anything like that. And Iâm a man who prefers long hours of rest. The time we had left wouldnât be enough for either of those things.â
Your face must have been scarlet as you looked away. It was unsettling how nice he could be with you one moment, only to switch to such flirty and suggestive behavior the next.
âI want to see you again,â he said after you realized how late it was and that you really needed to get home and get rest before work tomorrow, âCan I call you?â he asked before he grinned, âBut you should know I will find a way to meet you regardless your answer.â
That sounded almost like a threat except he made you feel so good while saying it, you nodded and even accepted his offer that his driver would take you home.Â
Ran took you to the garage by a back entrance so you wouldnât have to go through the loud and smelly club again all the while once again keeping his palm against your lower back warming you through your clothes despite the delicate touch.
Right before you were about to get into the backseat, he took your hand into his again and kissed it on your opened palm.Â
His eyes had a mischief spark inside them as with a calm smile he stated, âI promised you to just talk tonight. But you should know, I wonât be able to make such a promise next time we met, darling.â
You couldnât bring yourself to say anything to that other than get inside the car and wish him goodbye feeling that if he stopped you or suggested kissing you tonight, you would very much so let him regardless of who he was or any promises.Â
The next morning, when you got to work, it all felt almost like a dream except your former friend didnât stop trying to call you and the giddy feeling inside your stomach and uncontrollable need to smile wouldnât let you go.
Once you came home, you found a large bouquet of your favorite flowers, something you also mentioned last night, waiting for you in front of your door with a surprisingly tame offer for dinner tomorrow.
You bit your lower lip and pressed the card against your lips still smiling mentally already accepting feeling braver than ever and good about your decision.
KoniecÂ
A.N: Thank you for taking the time to read it. I hope you enjoyed the story, and that you are well. Have a nice rest of the day đ
Just as I think that this canât get any worse, I am always unpleasantly reminded that, yes. This can get worse. (x)
đșđđđđđđ: đŻđđđ đđđđđđ đđ đđđ đŻđđđđđđ đđđđđđđđ đđđđđ đđđ đđ đđđđđđđđ (đčđđ đđđ đčđđđ đđ đ đđđđ đđ)
They would be attentive and jealous brothers, Ran would be the most careful, he would protect you from everything and everyone and would always be suspicious when someone approaches you, while Rindou is the most affectionate, always giving you attention and trying to be a good brother.
Ran almost always buys you gifts, like his big brother, he knows you better than anyone else, so he always presents you with the things you like the most. Rindou doesn't usually give you many gifts, but he takes you to several fun places, parks, malls, stores, among other places, he always lets you buy whatever you want, in addition, he buys several sweets for you to eat (Ran always steals your ice cream to annoy you).
As the eldest brother, Ran strives to make up for the absence of your parents, so he treats you and Rindou like babies, always looking out for your well-being and preventing you from getting into trouble, even though Rindou and him do. part of gangs, they keep you away from it, neither of you would forgive each other if something happened to you, like your brothers, both are responsible for you and love you very much.
During the night, knowing Ran's heavy sleep, you and Rindou go to the kitchen to make snacks, being careful not to wake him up, you spend a lot of time in the kitchen eating and talking. Rindou always listens carefully to what you have to say, he is really interested in the subjects you like, in addition, he usually talks about how his and Ran's day was, because you don't accompany them when they are with you. other gang members.
Ran loves doing different hairstyles in your hair and the three of you often wear similar hairstyles and clothes, in addition, Ran likes to buy clothes for you, sometimes the three of you go to expensive stores and he lets you choose whatever you want, Rindou also likes to fix your hair, sometimes he spends hours petting it, he always says that your hair is beautiful just like his and that makes him very happy, Ran always compliments you and says how much he loves your brother and Rindou, you really are the most important things he has in life.
Both of them taught you how to fight, they think it's very important that you know how to defend yourself if they're not around, despite knowing that it's very difficult for someone to want to mess with you knowing that you're part of their family. Despite this, they worry about your safety, so they are almost always around.
Hi!! It's my first time sending a request so I hope this is understandable enough! Could I request bonten (it doesn't have to be all of them!) with an s/o who's an idol? Thank you!

Being an idol was always your dream, ever since you were little. Through much trial and error, getting made fun of and bullied, and lots of nights wanting to give up, you had finally achieved your dream. What made everything worth working for your dream was your fans, boyfriends, and all the support that everyone gave you, granted being a popular idol had it's downfalls but there was always a positive.
đđȘđŹđŠđș adored your singing, he loves your voice in general, but if he had to choose it'd be your singing. He made sure to listen to every song you published and proudly parades around whispering the lyrics while he listens to the song, Mikey loves being able to listen to songs before you release them and give you his honest opinion about them, he often helps you fix something about a song you didn't like. Now it's no secret Mikey loves to nap, it helps him escape from reality for awhile, this being said anytime mikey and you both have free time, he'll ask you to talk to him while he falls asleep. You could vent about how rude people are and mikey can happily snooze away like a kitten.
đđąđŻđ»đ¶ is your biggest fan girl, and when I say biggest, I mean it. Sanzu is always buying your merch and will proudly wear any shirts, makeup, hairclips, literally anything sanzu will gladly wear it if you asked him too. He will happily be a model for your clothes as well, doesn't matter if it's a bra, panties, socks, he will agree to wear it and model for you. Sanzu will always make it to your shows, livestreams, and fan gatherings. He won't make himself known at the most conventional times but at least he shoes up right?
đđ°đŹđ°đŻđ°đȘ is always making sure the company and people you collaborate with will benefit you and won't screw you over. He listens to every worry you have when a big event is coming up and he's instantly making sure you'll be ok. Kokonoi does keep track of your shows so he knows when to show up. Kokonoi isn't a fan of big crowds but he'll happily support you from VIP seats and often times from your livestreams while he works.
đđąđŹđ¶đ€đ©đ° adores when you have a new dance routine to show him. It doesn't matter what he's doing, he could be asleep at 5 am but happily wake up to see what new dance you came up with or learned. He'll never tell you this but he often practices the dances himself when he's alone, Kakucho gets tired after like three minutes so best believe this man thinks your incredible for being able to do an entire dance. Kakucho is almost like a mother when your at shows, he'll wait backstage with water, and a snack. Please don't reject him or his heart will actually break, you found him literally pouting once when you said you didn't need a sip of water.
đđąđŻ has literally no shame in him supporting you. He crested a fan account for you, granted it's super cringey edits and edited photos of you but he's proud of it too. Yes he is learning how to make proper and better edits, also please tell him you like the edits, he will cry and give you the silent treatment if you say you don't like them. Anytime ran says that he's dating you while talking to other fans at your concerts literally no one believes him, and he gets real petty about it too. He'll purposely call you over to wherever he is and won't stop kissing you just to rub it in, that he is dating.
đđȘđŻđ„đ°đ¶ loves how excited you get when you have new costumes to show him. He takes a million photos and videos of you, if you ever looked at rindous photos, 93% is just you. He just thinks your the most perfect thing in the world and wants to capture every moment of happiness you share with him. He is stingy with the photos and fights with everyone about why he has to send the photos to them. Rindou has such a mean resting bitch face that anytime he's out with you, everyone is so hesitant to ask for photos, like they honestly think rindou is one of your body guards.
Title: Habits
Pairing: Shinichiro x readerÂ
Summary: You ask your crush and childhood friend, Shin, to quit smoking for a month to some interesting results. | Genre: Fluff | Warning: none | Words:Â 2.8K
âSHIN! SERIOUSLY?!â you snapped at your childhood friend while covering your nose with one hand and frantically waving away the smoke from his cigarette that got close to your face with the other.
The dark-haired man glance back at you and grimaced with the cigarette between his lips, âSorry.â
He leisurely took it out of his mouth and put it out against the back of his shoe while you tried to find a bit of air that wasnât compromised by the disgusting smell, âYou really need to stop.â
âItâs just a bit of smoke,â he said looking his typical relaxed and amused self.
âIt kills!â you shot back heated since it wasnât the first time, you two had this discussion about Shinâs less-than-safe habit.
He grinned, âYou say that like you care.â
If he wasnât smiling in his typical boylike charming way, those words would sound horribly accusatory, and even if you knew he was just teasing you couldnât help but soften upon hearing them, âShin, I mean it. Itâs not good for you. I donât want you toâŠdie young.â
His relaxed look cracked a tiny bit.Â
He knew you cared.Â
You knew one another since before kindergarten. You were always in each otherâs life one way or another. Even when life drifted you apart, you still remained friendly before you re-established your old friendship for good a couple of years ago.
He offered you a delicate look, and you knew he was thinking about all those things you told him about how you lost people from your life. One way or another.
âIâll be fine. I donât smoke around the little ones,â he tried to brush it off again. True, he was decent enough not to smoke around Emma, Mikey, or even Izana and made sure his smoker friends like Takeomi did the same, but you still hated that he smoked all the same even more so when he said, âIâm not hurting anyone else-â
âHurting yourself is more than enough, idiot,â you mumbled now feeling annoyed over having the same argument over and over again.
You started to walk ignoring the young man.
It took Shin a while as he was probably thinking about what you said before he caught up to you and put his arm around your shoulders startling you a bit.
Your heart started to pound like crazy feeling the warmth radiating from his body against your own even through the layers of clothing. You could only hope your traitorous cheeks werenât red enough for him to notice again. You barely made it out of the last situation similar to this by lying you had a fever.
Shin grinned at you, âStopping seems like such a hassle.â
âHave you at least tried it?â you asked hoping being annoyed with him would busy your body from reacting in such a way to him. Even if the smell of cigarettes twisted your stomach enough to make you throw up, your heart was like Shinâs presence.
The real hassle was having a crush on your childhood friend, you thought knowing that those words could never leave your lips. You figured if he liked you, he would have said something by now, or at least initiate something. He might have been unlucky with girls in the past, but the young man was really straightforward about such things shamelessly commenting other women on the street even if you were around. Not that he would know he was making you jealous because you would never confess and risk your friendship becoming awkward.
âNot really. I was once really low on money, but even then, I managed to get some from beating up these punks,â he said looking awfully proud, and you pulled at his cheek rather harshly causing him to yelp.
âYeah, and I ended up nursing your stupid wounds, and using all my cute band-aids on your sorry ass.â
He got your hand away from his face and stepped away from you to brush his wounded cheek, âTrue, but at least it looked like I had a cute girlfriend. For a moment, I was the real King.â
âIdiot,â you mumbled again brushing your arm feeling disappointed over the lack of his warmth, âIf you never really tried to quit, why not give it a go now? You would be surprised how much money you would save.â
You started to walk again. At this ridiculous rate, you would never make it to Wakasaâs gym before dark.
âMaybe,â he said before he chuckled, âMaybe not, I spend quite a lot on you, donât I?â
Your cheeks flushed, and you managed to look away embarrassed at the last second before he was by your side no doubt grinning like a lovable idiot.
âItâs not my fault. Iâm a poor uni student,â you used a weak excuse. It was true, Shin made it a point to take you out for dinner or lunch whenever he had the time always paying before you even had a chance to pull out your wallet. It was big and little things like these that caused your pathetic heart to beat like crazy and your face to turn into a tomato because of the former delinquent.
âI donât mind,â he said, and it sounded so sincere, you couldnât help, but look at him if only to catch that sweet look in his dark eyes.
The guy couldnât score a date to save his life and yet here he was practically charming the pants off you.
You cleared your throat, âB-but to the main topic. You should try it. At least to see if you would be able to go without it for a month.â
âFor a month? Be realistic,â he grunted a bit and put his arms behind his head like he was a kid again causing you to smile almost remembering the two of you walking home from school before you went to middle school. Those were simpler times when you considered all boys stupid. You still did, but it didnât change the fact that you wouldnât mind if this stupid one was yours.
âItâs not that long,â you said and crossed your arms.
âA week maybe.â
âA month.â
âTwo weeks.â
âA month!â
âWhat will I get if I manage?â
You frowned and looked back at him confused, âA better-improved health? More money? Not smelling like an ashtray?â you asked listing the obvious. He had to know it was a horrible habit, right? âItâs really hard to be close to you when you talk. Your mouth smells so gross even now,â you waved your palm in front of your nose as if to prove your point. It was bad. At times when Shin was his absolute best and sweetest causing you to die out of a cardiac arrest or crawl into his lap and kiss him just once because of what a beautiful human being he was, that gross smell always pulled you back to the reality.
He glanced at you for a moment, and you almost felt bad for saying it like that, but it was true, perhaps, one of the few reasons, apart from being sane, that you didnât try to do something reckless about your crush was because the smell was just too awful to bear.
The look on his face was unreadable for a moment, and you could tell he was thinking, âAlright, what will you give me if I manage to go smoke-free for a month.â
Your eyes widened, and you felt your throat go dry, âW-what? What the hell do you mean what will I give you?â
He grinned stepping far closer to you than before causing you to catch wind of the disgusting cigarette smoke, âWhat will you give me if I manage not to smoke for a month?â
You felt so embarrassed, but at the same time, you couldnât help but grin back at him when he was looking at you like this. No matter how silly you felt about your little crush, Shin always made it impossible to not want to be around him, âYouâre horrible.â
âCome on,â he laughed, and you took a step back taking the lead again, âAnything you want,â you said without thinking, âNow, letâs go! Wakasa will kill us if we keep him waiting again.â
âAnything I want, hm? Sounds promising,â he tossed it out there as casually as he did everything else causing a shiver to run through your body. You hoped he was just teasing you the way he always did. You were certain, you wouldnât be able to survive if he was being serious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Â
You were definitely impressed to see Shin work his hardest to quit smoking. He seemed more stressed at times, obviously craving it, but he didnât lose his personality completely acting his usual self toward you. It was both a blessing and curse for your weak heart though.
You noticed Shin spent more time chewing gum or eating sweets probably to keep his mouth busy as well as working odd hours in the bike shop no doubt to take his mind off his habit. But in general, it was going rather well for him. So well, that when he stepped closer to you while taking you out for lunch about two weeks in, you found yourself flushed because of how good he smelled up close without the always lingering cigarette smoke mixed with his body scent.
âWhat?â he asked confused by your sudden stiffness, and you couldnât think of any decent lie, so you decided to go with the partly truth, âNothing, you just donât smell like an ashtray anymore. ItâsâŠdifferent.â
He grinned and pulled you even closer against his chest making you sweat.
If he ever found out how much more attractive I thought he was now, he would never let me live it down.
It was frustrating. Even if you would never go back on your words because you genuinely wanted Shin to stop and not threaten his health like that, you still feared you would act recklessly if he kept up. There was only so much a young woman like you could endure when crushing on her childhood friend.
Once the actual month mark passed, Shin called you over to the shop to take you out for dinner like he usually did if he wasnât eating with his family, âSo how do I smell?â
You felt nervous walking closer to him even if he was only wearing his work clothes since currently it seemed no matter what he wore or set it had the same lovesick effect on you.
You still grinned though, âLike motor oil and sweat.â
âRude, but fair,â he admitted, âIâll shower real quick, so you donât have to be embarrassed by me.â
âIâm not,â you mumbled and went to sit down until he returned.
âI passed my one month,â he said with a shit-eating smirk across his face, and you couldnât help but roll your eyes, âYes, yes, so what Iâm paying for dinner?â
âNah,â he assured you and walked you out before he locked the shop.
You bit your lip. You knew how much it cost him to stick to his word and quit. It wasnât easy to stop when he was addicted as he was even if he remained his relaxed easy-going self most of the time.
âShin,â you said and waited for him to look at you.
His dark eyes were calm and pretty that evening making it both a treat to look at them and extremely hard at the same time, âYou did a really good job. Iâm proud of you, alright? I know it wasnât easy. YouâŠyou always find a way to impress me, and it means a lot to youâŠdid this when I asked you to.â All of it was true. You could count the number of times people did something this big for you because you needed it or asked them to on the fingers of your right hand. And most of those things were achieved by Shin anyway.
He always delivered on his words.
He watched you for a moment before his lips curved into a happy smile and his eyes softened making your knees go weak, âThanks. Iâm glad I managed. I could tell it bothered you quite a lot.â
You nodded, âIt did. I would hate for you to get sick and the smellâŠwell, I told you it was really awful.â
He stepped closer to you almost to the point that your chests were touching, âItâs much better now, huh?â
You felt your cheeks warming up again, âUh-huh.â
His bright smile faded a bit, but only because it became somewhat softer, âEven my mouth?â
Involuntarily the innocent question caused your eyes to move to his lips. That was a bad decision because it immediately jumpstarted your heart and caused chaos inside your mind.
Weâre really close, huh?Â
 âWell⊠sure?â you said unsure about what was the question anymore all too focused on the shape and color of his mouth. You couldnât help but think he had really pretty lips.
âHere, have a taste,â he said and suddenly you felt his warm palm against the back of your head pulling you closer.
Your eyes widened, and your palms pressed against his chest unclear whether you were planning to stop him or just have a place for them to settle.
Right before your lips would touch, you blurted out, âShin?â
Everything stopped, but not in a good way, as the dark-haired man stepped away and hid his face away from your gaze, âShit, sorry, IâŠIâm sorry. I thought it would be cool.â
You blinked surprised, as he started to scratch the back of his head, âNever mind, forget I did that. IâmâŠsorry.â
You snatched his hand and brought it away from his hair, âIt was cool.â
Your eyes met, and your face caught on fire all over again, âWellâŠit was pretty cool, uh, but why?â
âI like you,â he blurted out obviously shocked he had as he tried to look away again.
The most beautiful flower started to bloom inside your belly, âYou do?â
He nodded still not meeting your eyes, âYou always looked so disgusted and annoyed because of the smoke, but when I stopped, you seemed more willing to have me close. I figured I would give it a shot. Pretty stupid, huh?â he tried to pull his hand out of your hold, but you didnât let him.
He finally glanced at you, and you tried to hold his gaze as best as you could, âNot as stupid as being into you even when you smelled like an ashtray.â
His dark eyes widened in surprise and immediately the familiar smile appeared across his face, âReally?â
You grinned less embarrassed than you thought you would be knowing he felt the same. The ridiculous wave of happiness washing over you, âYes, I like you too, Shinichiro.â
He suddenly took his hand from your hold and cupped your face with both of his hands, âThen let me be cool just for once.â
âI always think youâre cool,â you confessed feeling too wired in the heat of the moment to deny it.
He smiled at you adoringly while still holding your face, âReally?â
You groaned at his eagerness and how silly it must have all made you look, âYouâre embarrassing me.â
He grinned, âGood, I like it when your face is all red.â
âHey-â before you could finish his lips were on yours. His mouth was soft and warm to the touch. Although you wouldnât have expected it from someone who acts so relaxed and carefree most of the time, Shinâs lips were demanding forcing your mouth to yield to his and parting to take him deeper. Once you let him his tongue ever so slightly moved across your in an electrifying slide.
Daydreaming about your crush as often as you have, you knew you would like it regardless of if Shin was a good kisser or not but given the sensation, he sparked inside your belly that reached all the way up to the roots of your hair and fingers of your toes.
By the time, he finally broke the kiss earning himself a breathless moan that escaped your throat, you found your hands had once again found a place on his chest lightly touching him.
You blinked several times trying to catch up to what just happened while Shin offered you a grin. Instantly, you smiled back at him feeling far too happy for your own good.
His palms let go of your face in order to take hold of your waist barely touching them, but still causing you to shiver.
âSay, what will you give me for another month without smoking?â
âIdiot,â you mumbled but continued to smile feeling far too pleased at that moment, âHow about you wait and find out?â
His dark eyes and bright smile revealed his amusement and happiness before he once again pressed his lips against yours.
Koniec A.N: Thank you for reading đ Have a nice day đ
MIKEY: *STARES DEEPLY TO YOUR SOUL UNTIL YOU LEAVE*
SANZU: DAI YU MAZAFAKKA!!!
(DIE YOU MOTHERFUCKER!)
KAKUCHO: NO I KENTTO
(NO I CANâT)
KOKONOI: ^SHOWS OFF HIS BRITISH ACCENT^ starts talking about Britainâs economy.
RAN: DESUPAITO OVU MAI GUTTO RUKKUSU, I KENTO AKUZUARY SUPIKU INGURISHU
(Despite of my good looks, I canât actually speak English.)
RINDOU: WATTO IZU INGURISHU?
(WHAT IS ENGLISH?)
TAKEOMI: Ignores you.
MOCHI: æ»ăă«ăč (Die piece of shit)
honestly, whenever anyone (*cough* my parents *cough*) brings me back to reality from my daydreaming of a perfect life with my favorite anime characters, I always become so tired and stressed
LET ME HAVE A PIECE OF PERFECT LIFE EVEN IF IT'S JUST IN MY DAYDREAMS, LET ME BE HAPPY AT LEAST THERE PLS THANK YOU
BONTEN MEN and LOVE headcanons
(sad in Mikey's and Takeomi's, pretty dark in Sanzu's)

MIKEY: he's afraid of falling in love. afraid he's gonna hurt the most precious person to him so he shuts himself behind many walls and doors, on a thousand locks, hiding himself from everyone. he doesn't believe he's able to fall in love anymore and even if he is, he'll always be afraid of hurting them.
RAN: believes in "love yourself, only then anyone will love you". he probably claims he doesn't believe in love at first sight, but actually that might be exactly the way he'd fall in love. he might tight his significant other close and then let go and then it's gonna be like that over and over again, just because he's never actually fallen in love and he doesn't know how to make it right.
RINDOU: is very self-conscious because of his brother. if he ever falls in love, he'll be always afraid you'd leave him for Ran (pls, tell him you'll never do so (but only tell the truth, because Rindou hates being lied to and can always tell when someone is lying to him)).
KOKO: doesn't think he can fall in love ever again. even if he let go of Akane, he's just not ready to fall in love with anyone else, therefore he practically gets married to his job, working as much as he can. but if he falls in love ever again, it's gonna last long and he'll be very attentive towards his significant other and their interests.
KAKUCHO: doesn't believe anyone can fall in love with him, though at the same time is eager to be loved. once someone says they love him, he'll hold them dearly (but he will let them go, if their significant other ever tells them their feelings towards him have changed).
SANZU: doesn't believe in love. his life led him to believing only his king deserves his dedication and that everything else isn't worth his attention. he's probably gonna look like at a bug at anyone who ever mentions they like him, because they aren't his king, therefore he doesn't need to give his admiration to them. (he'll probably end up being the most toxic boyfriend out of all, sometimes sweet and caring, and sometimes a mental abuser)
MOCHI: if he ever falls in love, he's gonna treat his significant other as an equal to him. he's never gonna raise a fist on them, treating them as the most precious person in the whole world. he's trustworthy in every single aspect.
TAKEOMI: is afraid of falling in love and being a bad dad. he's always haunted by the reminder of how bad of an older brother he was, that's why he's afraid of being a bad dad, that's why he's afraid of falling in love. that's why he promises himself to not fall in love ever (just as Mikey does).

12:13pm â haitani rindou
rindou feels distraught.Â
you were acting weird, and he couldnât point his finger on it.Â
sure, you still indulged him in his music jamming hours, his nightly kisses and cuddles, even picking out which top he should wear, even if it was the same shade of beige (âthe other is cream!â heâd argue.)Â
but lately, you seemed to stop initiating touches with him. and he hates it.Â
he would understand if you were having a terrible day, heâd even encourage you to share how it went with him, so that you can vent it out.Â
but it seemed like something else was bothering you and he couldnât help but think it was because of him.Â
by the fourth day of you acting strange, he forces you to sit down on the couch with his arms wrapped around your frame.Â
âuh⊠rindou?â you asked, breaking the silence that enveloped the both of you for the past thirty minutes.Â
âhm?â âcan you let go of me now?âÂ
rindou shook his head. ânot until you tell me whatâs wrong.âÂ
you blinked in confusion. âcome on, baby. we both know somethingâs worrying your pretty little head.â you sighed, not even bothering to hide it.Â
if your boyfriend was anything, it was stubborn. and neither of you would be moving from the couch until youâve opened up. and you canât even lie about it, rindou would always know.Â
âiâve been thinkingâŠâ âabout?âÂ
â...about how one day⊠you might uh⊠you might⊠find someone better than me and leave me.â you say, voice progressively going quieter.Â
you felt rindouâs arms around you still, a tense atmosphere surrounding the both of you for a solid fifteen seconds before rindou lets go.Â
âseriously?â was all he said, and he makes you face him. you let out a small nod, not wanting to seem over dramatic.Â
you were waiting for a response from your boyfriend, not expecting a bellowed laugh to escape him as he drags his palm down his face, not believing the situation.Â
the next thing you know is rindou taking your cheeks into a hand, squishing them together, your lips puckering up as he pecks them quickly before letting go and standing up.Â
âbaby.â he breathes in, readying himself for the message he was about to deliver.Â
âiâm even lucky that i have you!â the shift in his tone was enough for your eyes to widen in shock as you sat frozen while your boyfriend stood infront of you.Â
âiâm literally built like a twig, my hair looks like a fucking wig that kids thought it would be fun to color with a blue highlighter and my glasses are scratched.â you watched as he slowly started flailing his arms around to emphasize his point.Â
âyouâre probably going to be the first and last partner iâll have and i love that you have confidence in me that i can pull.â he continues, âi really do, but i really canât.âÂ
your lips were subtly quirking into a smile but rindou pays no mind as he proceeds with his rant.Â
âno oneâs going to look at me and go âbro, i wanna date himâ. i donât even know how you put up with me half the time!â the hand movements rindou was making looked ridiculous but you couldnât even get a word in because he wasnât done yet.Â
âiâm lucky that you even looked in my direction. literally, what do you mean âleave youâ?â his fingers bent to imitate air quotes before he rolls his eyes sarcastically.Â
âwhere the fuck am i gonna go? fucking 7/11?â with the last comment, you bust out laughing.
rindou softened up once he hears the laugh that he loved so much escape your lips, your eyes were closed as you let out those sounds of joy.
you yelped once you feel rindouâs body weight on you once more, the force of it made you take a lying position on the couch with his head on your chest.Â
âiâm not leaving you, youâre stuck with me and i am never letting you go, okay? so stop that shit. i love you and only you. okay, babyâÂ
âokay.â
âfucking 'leave you' or shit, bro, youâre the only one who actually wants me.âÂ
âokay, rindou, i get it.âÂ
âyouâre lucky your ass is cute, because that brain of yours doesnât function well sometimes, huh?âÂ
âRINDOU!âÂ
note: haha. simp!rindou. i love simp!rindou so much... i love rindou... haha.... (i need help)
