Blossoming Relationships with CSM Characters
Disclaimer: I wanted to use all of my fics to be a story (which I'll still do), but I decided to change Denji's story a bit to be less depressing for him. He deserves it.
Also! Please give me recs that you want to see!
At the beginning of your relationship, Makima will need some time to get used to a more genuine perspective on romance since her ideas are either directly ripped from movies or are things sheâd do to manipulate people
Wanting this relationship to be a positive one (and taking initiative), she forced herself ignore everything sheâs taught herself. This is where sheâll take on a new method of learning romance; watching people irl. She wouldnât do this herself, sheâd use rats and birds to observe couples in public for a more âappropriateâ standard
She wouldnât tell you this at first (why would she), but you would notice a few habits sheâs suddenly picked up that donât sit right with you, calling you nicknames that were never established, giving pda early on, etc.
Youâre nosy as can be so you ask her (politely) why sheâs being so weird (affectionately) with your relationship. Makima decides to be upfront and tells you everything to your utter bemusement. Luckily for her, you take it well
After that, the two of you discuss a bit more about relationships and what youâre comfortable with at the moment. Since Makima doesnât really have a pace to go at (I mean look at her) so you both decide to follow your pace and things go smoothly, with Makima slowly feeling her lifeâs mission shifting away from chainsaw man and to someone else she can adore

You and Reze go on your first official âdateâ, though you two havenât quite admitted your feelings for each other. The two of you have eagerly wanted to get the chance to confess but nerves always got in the way. Not this time
Itâs at the train station where the two of you meet before heading straight to the local mall. Reze isnât on to buy a lot of things but she loves looking at different stores. While walking around, you find gacha machines and you both play it, earning keychains that you both keep as souvenirs
A few hours later, youâre dropping her off at her train station, finding the date to be the best time youâve had since coming to Tokyo. Before you could say goodbye to her, she surprises you by giving you a kiss on the cheek right before waving goodbye and walking through the gate
The next day you visit her at work, same time as usual and Reze is waiting for you, a cup of your favorite coffee ready just for when you arrived. You two sit down together and thatâs where you both confess to each other, her boss doing his best to watch without being noticed
From that point on, you and Reze spend almost every day together, you visiting her at work and her visiting you at home as you study. The two of you go on dates once a week and she always finds a way to gift you little trinkets for you to collect. Every time she gives them to you, the further away her mission becomes, and her life in Japan almost seems permanent
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being students, the two of you spend a decent amount of time studying, which mainly consisted of you visiting her at home and affectionately annoying her as you both did homework. You would often slow the process down so you have an excuse to have dinner with her, usually your treat
When it comes to planning dates, youâre the one who does the heavy lifting (though you never mind). To your surprise, Asa decides to surprise you by initiating, asking you to go to a museum with her (obviously you say yes)
You meet up at her apartment as usual and head to the museum. In Asaâs typical fashion, she talks a lot about the exhibits in the museum while you listen and ask her follow up questions. Occasionally, you throw in a joke question, causing Asa to sigh, though itâs with affection
Before leaving, you drag her to the gift shop while she watches you gush over the plushies and keychains. Grabbing matching couples plushies, you show them to her exclaiming, âThis is usâ to which Asa blushes again her will. Even if she isnât very expressive about how she feels, you know she loves the plushies as she happily takes home one of them after you buy them.
As she makes it home and gets ready for bed, she reflects on the day and feels her love for you deepen. Lying down, she holds her couple plushie in her hands, feeling its softness. She thinks that itâs almost time to come clean about Yoru, you deserve to know the truth after all
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having no relationship experience, Aki is surprisingly quite prepared for being with you. In the early days, he asks you about your comfort level in the relationship and does his best to adjust for it. Heâs quite the cautious guy when it comes to decision making
As for dates, heâs always coming over to your place to cook dinner with you. He doesnât dare to introduce Denji and Power this early (probably a smart call). He chooses to cook for you since itâs cheaper (and tastier) than going to a restaurant, but you canât complain
Three weeks in, he takes fewer weekend shifts and chooses to instead spend them with you, usually following your whims. Whether itâs watching a show, doing arts and crafts, or cleaning, Aki wants nothing but to spend time with you doing anything
When Aki develops the courage to introduce you to Denji and Power, he gives you a bit of a prep talk, saying how much of a handful they are and thatâs heâs kinda stuck with them. Meeting the two of them, you get along with them amazingly, to Akiâs relief (and a little bit dismay)
Since then, Denji and Power and constantly asking demanding for you to come back and spend time with them. Thankfully you also find them endearing and spend a lot of time at Akiâs apartment, being a great friend for Denji and Power and further earning more of Akiâs love and motivating him to bring you into the Hayakawa family
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
No one is as excited to be with you as Denji is. From the moment you tell him that you like him too, he does whatever he can to be the best boyfriend to you. Youâre aware of his less-than-ideal background so youâre not too surprised when heâs a bit unpredictable
Youâre a student and are quite used to finding Denji waiting for you outside of school once itâs over. The students you know look at him with disdain due to his unruly appearance, but that doesnât matter; youâd claim him as your boyfriend with a smile on your face any day
Looking at the time, you notice Denji isnât quite off the clock yet, so you shoo him off to take care of it and keep him out of trouble. This becomes part of your daily routine so youâre used to it
When at home, you wait for Denji to arrive so you can begin cooking. You have been taking it upon yourself to teach Denji how to cook and despite being a little clumsy, heâs a quick learner since he memorizes everything you says
After you two are done cooking, you take a picture of the results, noting his progress. You two decide to watch your favorite anime as youâre trying to catch Denji up. Listening to you talk about the show, Denji watches happily as he slowly feels a sense of normalcy in life, spending this time with you.
