That arrangement has been fine, really, it's not Gen's fault Senku caught feelings, though Gen would say it's not Senku's fault he caught feelings. But if this was the only way they could have the other..... It'll be fine. Really.

One night after being revived in South America, Gen pulled Senku away from the fire and the rest of the KoS, Senku thinking Gen pulled him away from the others, for some naughty time, makes a quip with a smirk "Mentalist you've only been revived for two days, don't tell me you're already getting needy"

Gen huffs a laugh and the frowns. "No that's not it."

Senku's smirk drops and his face turns serious. "Are you okay?"

"it's nothing bad, and I wanna start off by saying, you don't have to do anything or help or anything."

"Gen, what is going on?"

"I'm..... I think I'm pregnant. Actually I'm pretty sure I am."

Millions of thoughts race through Senku's head but they all felt like static.

Gen took Senku's silence as disappointment.

"I'm sorry Senku-chan." Voice small and broken. "I know our whole arrangement was so you can have someone to fuck and relive stress, so you don't need to do anything, but I wanna keep it. Besides you still have so much work to do, a child would just slow you down."

"Gen, I'm not gonna let you do this on your own."

"I think it's best if I do. Senku-chan I..... I love you and have for awhile, before all this started and raising a child together would be too much. I'm sorry I know it's your kid too and you have a right to be in their life, but I just can't......" Gen trailed off as he began to cry.

This time though Senku is so deep in a project that not even Gen triggering the fire alarm in the house gets him out of his tunnel vision.

Gen: Fine I give up! Guess I'll take Mozu-chan up on his offer to go skinny dipping~~~

Next thing Gen knows the whole house is on lockdown, no way out and Senku is wrapping his arms around Gen's waist, nibbling on his ear.

Senku: oh no would you look at that, we are trapped inside the house. I was only working for an hour and you act as if it's been days. And bringing Mozu up no less. You want to be punished? 😏

He just shrugs and puts it in the small waste bin just inside the door that has various other threats of the same kind.

Senku: My Mentalist, I promise I'll keep it as simple as possible. Besides, it's not like you can do it, you still blush when we make love. 😏😏

Gotta write 121 and I write 212

Gotta write abc and I write bac

The plant leaves a large seed behind and Gen loses all his feelings for Senku, now having a very neutral relationship with him.

Senku was the one to help Gen, not wanting to lose the mentalist, but now things feel wrong. He kept the seed and decides to plant it.

Quickly, it starts to sprout and grow. Flowering and blooming in beautiful white flowers, growing taller and taller. Senku takes care of it very carefully. Thinking back on his relationship with Gen and coming out full of regrets.

To his surprise, the plant grows into a small tree. It seems to grow faster and faster the more of his love for Gen he poured into it. And then, the tree bears a single fruit. Juicy and beautiful.

Senku plucks it with care and smells it. The scent is sweet. Gen would love it, he is sure.

He gifts it to him, even if they relationship is not great since he removed the seed.

Gen accepts it and eats it, juicy pouring out on his chin. Gen eats it and it's like everything clicks back into place. He thanks Senku, full of love again, a pure reciprocated love.

He smiles, Senku smiles.

Everything is right again.

This is like yeah BEST hanahaki au EVER!!!

It's has the angst that typically comes with hanahaki, and the removal of the roots/seeds and the loss of feeling.

And then and then!!!

There's HOPE!!!!

AND LOVE IS REQUITED!!!!!!!

Holy moly you and ignies brains 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Obvious disclaimer that you shouldn't have wild animals as pets.

But like, cheetahs are the only large cats that keepers will do free contact with. Hell, even most small cats don't get free contact. (Because small cats can be VICIOUS. They'll have a baby pallas cat wearing thicker gloves than when handling an owl. Because small cats can just be vicious.)

Like I think the only other cat at our zoo where I've seen free contact with was servals? Because I know they've used servals in shows to demonstrate their natural jumping ability. But I know servals can sometimes have a mean temper as well. Meanwhile they'll do the cheetah run and afterwards put the mic by the cheetahs and it's just like an engine with them purring. It's fascinating to watch when the message in every other large animal is "no free contact because it's dangerous even when they're born in captivity".

Okay, so I have started season 2 of Laid-Back Camp, this means return to me brainrotting about SenGen on cozy camping adventures.

Gen decided to go on a little autumn camping trip. It was spontaneous. Mental and emotional exhaustion from his job and his awful manager. He needs peace and quiet, away from people.

He finds a camp ground still opened and buys everything he thinks he'll need. When he arrives there, all his stuff still has the price tag.

He struggles to build his tent, taking a while to get it working and stable, reading the instructions over and over. Then he lays about his low camping chair, his low folding table, water and snacks and sits down, just breathing and watching the cloud floating in the distance, totally zoned out.

As the evening comes, another person has set up nearby. He blinks, realising he didn't even notice them. A young man with blond hair with green tip. He's setting up an expensive looking telescope near his tent.

Gen rubs his arms, it's starting to get cold with the sun setting slowly. So he gets up and goes to get firewood to make a campfire.

He puts the pile of wood down in a nice spot for a campfire, as well as a bucket of water he got from the nearby water point. Just in case. He gets his lighter and tries to get the fire going, but it's not working. The wood is dry, what's going on?

As he's trying again and again, the telescope guy walks over and says he saw him struggle and asks if he needs any help in a flat tone.

Gen looks over, nervous, trying to hide himself under his bucket hat and is like "Um, it just won't start."

The other man looks at his set up and clicks his tongue and says "Yeah, log won't start on their own. You need a fire starter."

Gen looks at him dumbfounded. Was that something he needed to buy?

The other sighs and is like "Wait here, I'll get you something" and walks away toward the trees, looking around a little, picking up things on the ground, before returning with a handful of pine cones.

He crouches near his firewood and starts to rearrange them, explaining how he needs to keep it airy so the oxygen can travel between the long, then puts the pine cones under and explains in far too much details how they an use pine cones as a fire starter.

Gen listens, between completely absorbed and zoning out into another realm. But he understands what he means. Pine cones are easier to burn and they burn long enough to light the wood. Got it.

The nice stranger lights up the fire for him and gives him a few pointers to keep it going.

Gen thanks him with a rare sincere smile, tired but grateful.

The other boy picks his ear and is like "No problem. I'm Senku, by the way."

Gen feels his throat tightens and he's like "I'm, um..."

"Asagiri Gen, I know," butts in Senku. When he sees his eyes widen with a hint of fear, he shrugs. "I'm not here to bother you. Guess if you're here, it's because you don't want to talk about your career."

The mentalist feels relief flooding him. "Thank you for your understanding."

Senku nods curtly and gets up, doing a half way and walking back to his own tent.

Gen sits back down in his chair, looking up at the fire slowly coming to life. He sighs, his breathe slightly fogging up.

He glances at the boy setting his telescope, still, and looks up at the sky, coloured in pinks and purples.

Must be a nice place to stargaze. Far away from light pollution.

Everything is quiet, peaceful. Nobody bothering him. Nobody pushing him to keep moving. Nobody to tell him what to do for two days.

It's everything he wanted out of this trip. He should be happy. And yet, hot tears silently slide down his cheeks.

Poor Gen though. 😭😭😭
