"may you never forget me!"

𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒.

before i continue, i need you to keep in mind that astrologically, mars and pluto are treated as two of the most intense planets to have as a ruler, so keisuke being a scorpio just. makes. sense to me.

MARS : named after the roman god of war.

aggression, drive, survival instinct, courage, willpower, libido, grit, loyalty, protective instincts, ability to stay calm in crisis.

what it rules in you: how you go after what you want, how you defend yourself, how you handle anger, how you compete, how you act under pressure.

mars in scorpio is not loud and impulsive like aries which is where you guys love to box him into, mars in scorpio is more observant and strategic but still relentless when it’s 100% sure of the move it’s gonna pull.

not so pretty side : revenge driven, paranoia, holding grudges.

PLUTO (modern ruler of scorpio) : named after pluto/hades, god of the underworld.

transformation, obsession, intensity, control, taboo, endings/beginnings, psychological depth, resilience, healing power, emotional bravery, ability to rebuild after devastation.

what it rules in you: where you feel compelled, where you can’t do “surface-level,” where you shed a skin and become someone else, how you deal with power, fear, and trust.

pluto in scorpio is basically scorpio’s signature: x-ray vision for people, magnetic, “all or nothing.” type of mindset, scorpio-pluto energy wants truth even if it’s ugly, and it doesn’t fear the dark, it uses it. (gonna explain that later ik it’s sounds so corny.)

once you look at his character astrologically, his personality stops looking like “haha he burns cars when he’s hungry and can’t write!” comic relief you guys seem to love using. he’s far from impulsive in the empty-headed way people like to box him into.

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘, 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐒𝐄𝐓, 𝐄𝐓𝐂.

ok so we all know his unfortunate stereotype is chaotic adrenaline junkie, impulsive, punches without confrontation.. blah blah blah, right? once again, this is based on what i’ve seen in the manga and spin-off. along with scorpio traits that actually apply to him as canonically as possible, so i’m going to try not to be as biased as possible even though i’m deeply in love with him :

so scorpio energy isn’t about acting without thought. it’s about acting after a decision has already been made internally. keisuke doesn’t do anything casually. once he decides something matters, he commits fully, and that level of commitment gets mistaken for impulsiveness by people who don’t understand how he operates.

he isn’t chasing adrenaline for fun. he’s responding to situations as if they carry real consequences, because to him, they do. he doesn’t treat things lightly, he doesn’t half-engage, and he doesn’t leave room for “maybe.” when keisuke moves, it’s because he’s already accepted the cost of that decision. that’s why his actions look extreme from the outside. not because he didn’t think, but because he already did.

okay, let’s base him into the kind of guy that loves fights, being an adrenaline junkie, punching-first type. wouldn’t a guy like that brag about his wins? about how his punches are described as a wrecking ball? -kojiro hishi after getting punched by KID kei mind you :3. isn’t that’s usually how characters like this are written and expected to act? loud, proud, obsessed with reputation? but guess what! keisuke canonically isn’t proud of being in a gang, and he doesn’t romanticize delinquency at all. we literally see this when chifuyu keeps bringing up toman and how cool it is, and keisuke gets visibly annoyed, shuts it down, and changes the subject.

he just wants to be friends with chifuyu, not admired for being in a gang.

although this could be seen as him just disliking posers since i’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time he’s had a guy gush over a “motorcycle gang” to him and asked to join, but there’s a specific thing he said later on in the chapters that imply that he sees toman as a necessary structure, not an identity or something to brag about, and this is where him being a scorpio just adds to it.

now let’s start talking about this in astrology terms! so scorpio is tied to pluto which deals with survival, power dynamics, and the things people rely on when “clean” or respectable options don’t exist. scorpio’s aren’t concerned with image, praise, or how something looks from the outside, that’s more leo or libra territory. scorpio cares about function, what something does, who it protects, and what it costs to maintain it. if something is ugly, dangerous, or morally gray but necessary, scorpio will still choose it without trying to make it look pretty. (which he literally did lol, he came up with the idea of creating a gang to protect his friends and make them feel like they belong somewhere.)

“maybe a motorcycle gang isn’t something to be praised for, but there are times when people who can only survive in such a place can meet others and grow. kazutora was like that.”

the only thing that matters to him is that it gives him a way to protect the people he’s loyal to and have a place where they feel like they belong. he doesn’t defend it as noble, and he doesn’t pretend it’s admirable (besides the fact that he got to do that with his friends.) he accepts it for what it is. that’s why he doesn’t really fuck with being only labeled as a captain of the first division and only ever refers to himself that way when he’s threatening someone.

i feel like authority to him is something you pull out when it’s useful. it’s literally just how gang members talk to other gang members. you don’t see keisuke walking around like “i’m a captain of a gang!!!!!!” like chifuyu lowkey would. because to keisuke, that’s being a poser.. and he does not fuck with posers.

his hatred of posers and fake loyalty ties into him being a scorpio as well. scorpio is extremely sensitive to authenticity, especially when trust is involved. keisuke doesn’t care about loud declarations or people trying too hard to prove themselves. when chifuyu was practically begging to get into toman and pushing to become his right-hand man, keisuke genuinely didn’t care, if anything, he thought he was being a dumbass. effort without substance means nothing to him.

what actually mattered were chifuyu’s actions throughout the manga. he consistently proved that he could handle pressure, consequences, and the weight that comes with being keisuke’s right-hand man and being part of toman at all. keisuke didn’t trust him just because of his dramatic loyalty speeches. hell chifuyu was practically sobbing in front of him, going on about watching his dad die for someone he didn’t even know and wanting to sacrifice his own life the same way, and keisuke’s reaction was basically 😐.

what earned chifuyu a place beside him wasn’t a sob story (sorry fuyu ily) it was consistency. keisuke watched and tested him, and he saw that his dedication didn’t fall apart when shit got serious. once chifuyu proved he could stand firm under pressure instead of collapsing under it, that’s when keisuke understandably trusted him.

this is also why keisuke trusted takemichi almost immediately. takemichi isn’t impressive on the surface, but he can tell takemichi was genuinely trying his best for the sake of toman’s future, and the willingness to stand firm even when it hurts. that mattered more to him than strength or reputation. once someone shows they can be relied on, keisuke trust settles in.

also!!! if keisuke really were the reckless, impulsive dumbass people like to paint him as, no one would trust his judgment!! but when he brought chifuyu into the executive meeting against yotsuya kaidan, nobody seriously questioned it besides a simple “who’s this guy?” and tbh that says everything. there was no concern that chifuyu might be a liability, because if keisuke vouched for someone, that was enough (mitsuya’s words).

that level of trust doesn’t come easily from a scorpio, it seemed like everyone knew keisuke wouldn’t just bring anybody into a situation that serious, especially not someone who could jeopardize him or the gang. he would clock that immediately (cough kisaki cough) the fact that his judgment went unquestioned proves that the people around him understood exactly how selective he is, no matter how wild he might look from the outside.

the biggest thing people miss is that what looks like keisuke’s “reckless” tendency to act alone. bloody halloween and going after kensho by himself isn’t recklessness at all. it’s self-erasure.

keisuke repeatedly chooses to take on pain, risk, and blame alone because pluto-heavy scorpio energy doesn’t treat suffering as something to avoid, it treats it as something that has to be carried. in astrological terms pluto is associated with crisis, endurance, and transformation through loss, which is why astrologers often describe pluto-dominant people as those who cannot bypass suffering, they have to go through it. pain in this framework isn’t impulsive, it’s necessary, and often the cost of staying in control.

which makes me think about how keisuke might be a control freak, and i’m not talking about the type of control freak where he’s nit picky and bossy etc, but leaning towards more emotional? so scorpios are associated with emotional containment and self regulation, that means scorpios tend to control situations to prevent loss, betrayal or irreversible damage. they get more controlling when it comes to preventing shit from going down and taking the hit rather than egotistical control.

scorpios are pretty paranoid and overthink over everything, constantly worrying about the “what if’s”, so they try to control everything so the what ifs wouldn’t happen.

that mindset explains why keisuke consistently puts his own life second. to him, protecting kazutora’s future over his own safety and walking into danger without backup aren’t careless decisions, they’re very well thought out. in keisuke’s mind, if something is going to go wrong, it should fall on him and no one else. someone has to absorb the damage, and he consciously chooses to be that person.

this is also why his behavior gets mislabeled as impulsive when it isn’t. he isn’t unaware of the risk, he’s fully conscious of it. but pluto-scorpio energy doesn’t prioritize self-preservation first, it prioritizes containment of harm. choosing danger isn’t about thrill-seeking, it’s about making sure the consequences stop with him.

he’s very much capable of stopping others from acting rashly because he understands consequences, he just chooses to absorb those consequences himself later. (stopping chifuyu from going after kensho’s ass kissers then later on tried to go find kensho himself without telling chifuyu and ryusei.) keisuke isn’t impulsive with others, he’s just ruthless with himself.

his real flaw isn’t acting without thought, it’s refusing to let anyone else share the weight. once he decides something is his responsibility, he locks everyone else out, even when doing so puts him in danger. that’s not “ooo chaotic”. that’s someone who has decided their own safety is expendable if it means protecting the people they care about.

so when keisuke comes across as intense, intimidating, or frightening, it isn’t because he’s cruel or unstable. it’s because scorpios never soften themselves to be easily understood. he acts without hesitation. from the outside, that looks like he’s being reckless and an idiot, from the inside, to HIM, it makes sense. and when you start viewing him this way, his personality stops being a joke and starts looking like someone who lives by loyalty, purpose, and conviction, even when it costs him.

enough of that.. let’s talk more about his personality on the lighter side!

he’s respectful!! and mindful of his surroundings!! he takes certain boundaries seriously. him yelling at chifuyu and ryusei for being loud in a hospital is such a good example. you’d expect someone who’s loud, impulsive, and constantly chasing stimulation to cause chaos everywhere, but he acknowledges that there are places where you behave, and he knows exactly where that line is.

he’s also famously terrible at texting. its not alarming that he doesn’t respond to your texts. i genuinely think he’s the type of guy who forgets his phone exists and then just shows up at your door if he has something important to say.

another thing people overlook is how much he trusts his friends judgment. like… enough to look stupid for it. fuck you mikey and draken oh my god. making my baby look ridiculous.

him being interested in becoming a detective is also extremely scorpio-coded.

he is a hothead though. that part is real and i’m not gonna try to “he’s misunderstood!” that 😭. scorpios are known for having a low tolerance for repeated annoyance, it’s not that they explode instantly, it’s that they expect you to get the message the first time LMAO. bother him twice about the same thing and you’re fucked. most of his friends know exactly how far they can push before backing off.

lowkey the type of guy that expects you to read his mind, if you don’t do it within … 10 seconds he’s yelling at you LMAO.

scorpio trait : he’s type to hold grudges, if someone fucks this man over he’s genuinely never letting that go. also the type to hold grudges FOR you, he has a massive problem with the forgiving and forgetting.

this gets mentioned a lot here, but he genuinely has an insane radar for fake people. when a scorpio doesn’t trust someone for “no reason,” believe them. it’s rarely random. they pick up things anyone else could miss. they might not explain it well, and they definitely won’t justify it to make you comfortable.

he’s the type to trust his gut, leaving everything to his instincts.

i think i’ve also mentioned this multiple times here but he’s an insane lie detector, small meaningless lies, a persona your performing, even if he has no idea who you are, trust me when i say he caught on. (he wouldn’t call out if he doesn’t feel like it, he’s most likely to play along.. but keeping it in mind that you’re words are untrustworthy.)

also he’s the type to have really good memory! scorpio’s are known for remembering everything that carries emotional weight. moments like tone shifts, things people said once and forgot about, promises, patterns, etc. keisuke remembers what matters. that’s why he catches fake people so fast and why he never forgets who showed up for him and who didn’t

i feel like he has trouble communicating his feelings, since it’s a scorpio trait. scorpios feel deeply, but they don’t translate emotion into words easily. it’s not that they don’t know what they feel, it’s that saying it out loud feels pointless to them. keisuke especially communicates through actions first. protecting, showing up, taking responsibility, staying. that’s how he communicates. when it comes to actually verbalizing what’s going on inside his head, he shuts down or deflects. he’d rather act than explain. rather take the hit than talk about how much it hurts.

it’s not an unknown fact when i say that keisuke’s unpredictable, none of his actions make sense to anyone but himself and he prefers it that way.

i feel like he’s also the type of guy where he reveals what’s safe to reveal, not a fear of being vulnerable, cmon, he’s a blunt guy. but more as in he’s a private person. he’d come off as an open book but if you really think about it.. you don’t know shittttt about him. he’s the type of guy to know everything about a friend down to their grandma’s name but that friend wouldn’t know anything about keisuke much.

scorpios have high standards and high expectations for people so they tend to get disappointed often, and i very much apply that to keisuke bc yeah, he does, that checks.

he’s not the type of guy you should go to for advice if you want some wisdom.. he would get mad FOR you. (“my resolution? air strikes. bomb them. bomb them.. keep bombing them, bomb then again, and again.” after you told him about a bitch that crossed you.)

BONUS because this is too cute not to include. his mom being kind of spiritual is such a fun detail into the spin off manga, she made him and chifuyu rearrange the apartment for “better luck” after he broke his arm. it’s so cute how keisuke just went along with it even though he thinks it’s ridiculous. (which makes me think that him with a spiritual s/o would be such a fun dynamic.)

𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐓, 𝐁𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆.

“i wasn’t trying to run from my past. but i didn’t know how to face it.”

sigh.. this topic crushes me, we all know guilt is one of the biggest things keisuke carries, this is undeniable when it comes to his character bc that shit was literally on your face, you cannot “haha dumbass who burns cars” yourself around it.

my favorite ones are in a letter from baji, where we get to see a bit more of his pov after the incident. when mikey tells him, “don’t worry about it, baji. it’s not your fault,” while he’s overwhelmed with regret, keisuke still couldn’t forgive himself. “if only i had stopped him back then.” even with mikey explicitly telling him he isn’t to blame, keisuke refuses to let it go.

this becomes a clear flaw in how he processes responsibility, and this is where his scorpio traits line up: scorpio is a fixed water sign, and fixed signs are known for persistence, holding on, difficulty letting go, and internalization rather than release, so when something happens, scorpio energy doesn’t process it by “moving on” like mutable signs or “acting it out and forgetting” like cardinal ones, it keeps it, storing emotional events instead of moving on.

and scorpio is one of the few signs willing to go to emotional depths that other signs actively avoid. a lot of people sense where the pain and the fear is and stop there, because they understand that if they go any deeper, something in them will die. scorpio doesn’t back away from that. scorpio goes there anyway. it faces the fear head-on because it understands that transformation requires destruction first. that’s part of its strength. scorpio knows that to get what it wants (which is always something deeply meaningful and important to them) it has to confront what hurts instead of staying where it’s safe.

combined with pluto’s rulership, which emphasizes irreversible events, loss that can’t be undone, and consequences over intentions, this creates a mindset where outcomes matter more than excuses. and by excuses, i mean the context keisuke never allows himself to use. that he was twelve. that he didn’t want to steal the bike in the first place. that he didn’t know it was shinichiro’s shop. pluto doesn’t care about that. in his mind, something happened, he was there, therefore he’s implicated.

so basically keisuke’s guilt comes with the fact that he was present. the way he carries the incident with kazutora suggests that in his mind there must have been something he missed or failed to prevent.

and one thing that i see most people brush off is the fact that even when keisuke didn’t wanna steal the bike, he still went along. his loyalty runs deep enough that it overrides caution, and when shit goes down, he turns the blame inward rather than outward like kazutora did.

that pattern lines up with scorpio’s tendency to take ownership of emotional fallout instead of deflecting it, processing guilt through control, containment, and emotional self-regulation, and his way of reacting is by taking ownership and attempting to prevent recurrence. that’s where guilt turns into self-sacrifice, refusing to forgive himself, attempting to “make up for it,” choosing punishment over moving on, that’s scorpio’s control mechanism.

mars as scorpio’s co-ruler explains why this guilt doesn’t stay abstract. mars governs action, response, taking responsibility physically, and doing something about the problem, so scorpio guilt often turns into behavior like self-punishment through risk, over-responsibility, or physical and behavioral atonement rather than self-forgiveness.

so instead of letting himself be absolved when mikey reassured him that it’s not his fault, keisuke tries to compensate by protecting kazutora’s future over his own life and repeatedly putting himself in danger. these are his attempts to atone. he treats suffering as something that has to be endured to balance what can’t be undone. that’s why this guilt never really resolves. scorpio doesn’t process pain by talking it out or rationalizing it away, it processes it by carrying it forward and changing behavior around it. keisuke never gives himself the grace of context or age, even though he was a child at the time. he frames the outcome as a personal failure and spends the rest of his life trying to make up for it, even when the guilt he’s trying to repay was never fully his to begin with.

and just to be clear, this isn’t saying scorpio equals trauma or guilt by default, or that astrology excuses behavior. it’s simply describing how, when guilt exists, scorpio processes it in this specific way.

𝐊𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄.

before i start this, do not come to me crying about a scorpio that cheated on you or broke your heart, there’s multiple layers to a scorpio, there’s that “developed scorpio and undeveloped scorpio” bs and also other dominant sign in their chart that might’ve explained why they were a whore in the relationship! but in this context.. keisuke would neeevverrr cheat or betray you in any way.

ugh, i love a complicated man.. when it comes to love, keisuke doesn’t express it softly. in his chart, love is experienced deeply but expressed through actions rather than words. i can imagine his love language being quality time and acts of service.

scorpios don’t do casual love or be the ones to love bomb. they’re committed for the long term. for keisuke, the way he loves isn’t words of affirmation or big displays. it’s undeniable loyalty, putting himself between danger and the person he cares about. (uhh.. clearly!)

to him, loyalty is the foundation of love. i know you guys might be sick of me constantly mentioning loyalty here but im so very serious, when i tell you that being loyal means everything to keisuke. attraction, chemistry.. that “spark”, it all comes 2nd to “will you stay when it’s bad?”

another thing about scorpios is that they’re stubbornly persistent when it comes to staying with a person, even when that person is bad for them emotionally. a scorpio will stay until they hate you. no matter the arguments, no matter the misunderstandings, no matter how exhausting it gets. nothing will stop keisuke from chasing after you until you give him a reason he physically cannot justify anymore. and that reason is almost always betrayal. you’d have to cross a very specific and serious line for him to finally let go. which.. in a way i see it is both a good and a bad thing.

keisuke will endure a toxic relationship for way longer than he should if it means staying with you. love makes him stubborn in a way that’s almost frustrating to watch. i can easily imagine him being blinded by it, which is wild considering how quickly he clocks fake people. he’ll read everyone else perfectly, but somehow won’t clock the fact that he’s been poking a dead horse for months. he’ll keep trying, keep pushing, keep convincing himself that if he just tries harder, it’ll fix itself.

and the thing is, sometimes no amount of loyalty, attraction, or shared history can save a relationship. sometimes it just doesn’t work. but keisuke doesn’t accept that easily. he’s the type to keep chasing after you to “fix it,” even if every conversation turns into an argument and nothing actually improves. to him, walking away feels worse than staying miserable, because staying means he hasn’t given up yet.

this kind of persistence comes from the same place as his loyalty. scorpio doesn’t detach cleanly. it holds on and refuses to release something it’s already invested in. for keisuke, letting go isn’t just ending a relationship, it’s admitting that something he committed to failed. and he will fight that reality until there’s nothing left to fight for.

off track kinda but i need to say this, in a relationship with keisuke, there’s a couple things you shouldn’t do if you don’t wanna push i’m away, don’t lie to him, don’t go back and forth, don’t drag him along, don’t lead him on just because you’re attached when you’ve already checked out of the relationship. keisuke isn’t asking for perfection. all he expects is consistency, honesty, and emotional reliability. that’s it. he’s not high maintenance.

the moment you start contradicting yourself, shifting your stance, or keeping him around out of comfort while you’ve mentally moved on, you’re done. not because he can’t handle conflict, trust me that man will tell you shit to your face if he needs to, but because he can’t handle instability. once he realizes that what you say and what you do don’t line up, something in him shuts off. cause now he can’t trust you anymore.

for someone like keisuke, inconsistency feels worse than a clean ending. he can endure arguments, long rough patches. what he won’t tolerate is being emotionally jerked around. break trust, break honesty, or break reliability, and you’ll just lose him completely.

oh my god scorpios are SO fucking good at disappearing without a trace, completely gone from your radar.

also, i feel like in a relationship, keisuke is far more comfortable being the one who protects than the one who is protected. love, to him, isn’t about being leaned on emotionally. it’s about being solid enough that someone else doesn’t have to fall apart.

ok let’s get to the fun part, how do you get keisuke to fall in love with you?

first of all, keisuke does not give a fuck about what you look like. your clothes, your weight, your teeth,, literally nothing, he’s not shallow at all. just be real with him. like actually 100% real. don’t worry about saying the wrong thing, stuttering, being awkward, or pissing yourself because he’s scary looking. he doesn’t care at all and he’s not really judgmental in a way you think, at least not towards women. what he does care about is authenticity! don’t be a poser. don’t try too hard to be in his circle. trust me, he’ll notice immediately and it’ll turn him off just as fast.

he’d fall for someone kind, honest, imperfect, sincere, and selflessly loyal. someone consistent. someone who isn’t all talk. he does not fuck with empty promises! if you say something once, he will remember it. and if you don’t follow through, he will also remember that. his memory is insane. every little thing you say gets stored somewhere in his brain.

that being said, i’m not saying he’d fall in love with an oversharer. he doesn’t need someone spilling their entire life story on the first hangout 🙄. he likes people who are layered.. and complicated. show him that there’s more to you than what’s on the surface. he loves a little mystery to solve. god once he realizes you have secrets, he’ll be all over you trying to understand every part of you. in a “you’re interesting and i want to know more” way.

scorpios also tend to test people, but not in a calculated “ok time to put you through a psychological exam” way. it just happens naturally. he’ll notice how you move. do you keep things private or do you like to chatter? do you stay respectful when you’re upset? do you mean what you say? do you stand by your word? do you switch up when other people are watching? and confidentiality matters a LOT to him. if you tell your friends everything, screenshot your convos with him, gossip about him or his friends, you’re done. he’ll keep you in the “fun” category and you will never become “mine.”

don’t chase him either. don’t fish for compliments. don’t constantly ask “do you like me?” or “what am i to you?” but also don’t be passive. do not act nonchalant, i’m begging you. be clear. show interest without begging for it back. keep your dignity. let him see that you want him, but that you’re not desperate for validation.

also don’t copy his personality. matching energy is fine, mirroring him completely is not. he wants you, not a watered-down version of himself.

he’s naturally pretty guarded, so don’t ever expect him to be open and welcoming during the talking stage, or friendship even. but he’s really good at making it seem like he’s not guarded, you only notice when you start really thinking.. do you know keisuke as much as he knows you?

if you’re wondering “how do i show him i could be loyal?” don’t show him? hello? you’re being performative. he does not fuck with “btw i did this for you.” show you’re loyal to him quietly. defend him when he’s not around. don’t entertain disrespect about him. keep your promises. show up when it’s inconvenient. remember what matters to him. make him feel like the bond is protected even when he’s not watching.

do NOT play hot and cold with him. playing hard to get is not a “challenge” to scorpios. do not show him that you’re unreliable. if you say “i’ll call you later,” literally call him later. don’t flake. ever. consistency is attractive to him. mystery is fine, unreliability is not.

and finally, DO NOT try to control him. ever. ever. he doesn’t soften himself to be loved, if you don’t love him the way he is.. fuck you? first of all? but also don’t be weak, don’t fold just to be liked. he likes someone with a backbone, he will literally fuck with you a little just to see if you stand your ground. have an inner authority, know who you are, and don’t bend yourself into something smaller for him.

that’s how you get him. not by being perfect or hot and have big tits. but by being real, consistent, and solid enough that he can trust you without having to question it.

before anyone asks me this, he’s neither a titties or an ass man! he’s personality! i’m dead serious! 🙄

also.. getting him to like you is not like being deployed in iraq i promise he’s just very selective 😭

and now let’s get into why wakui picked him for best boyfriend! before anyone says “it’s out of all of toman 🙄” and yet he beat your “perfect” boys mitsuya and hakkai. and draken who grew up with women all around him..? huuuhh…

once again this goes with him being a scorpio ruled by pluto and also him as a character.

1. he would literally die for you. literally. like actually. like deadass. your safety matters more than his own. he doesn’t weigh risk the way other people do when it comes to someone he loves. his instinct is protection, always.

2. there’s a constant sense of being seen. he doesn’t run away from the ugly parts, doesn’t flinch when things get messy or uncomfortable. he’s the kind of guy who understands you in ways you haven’t even fully put together yet. you never feel invisible with him.

3. he listens, oh my gosh he listens so well. he remembers everything you liked, even if you mentioned it once and forgot you even said that to him.

4. he’s such a yearner.. but not in the way you think.

a pluto ruled scorpio yearn for emotional closeness, once they’re in love, there’s a constant pull toward their partner, wanting to understand them better, wanting to feel emotionally in sync, wanting to be the person their partner comes back to at the end of the day.

that one meme where it’s like “i wanna be inside my partner so deep our souls get intertwined,” keisuke cannot be more serious. scorpios want to be near you, involved with you, folded into your life.

scorpios also yearn to be chosen back, not reassured constantly, but known deeply and stayed with. they want to feel like the bond matters as much to you as it does to them. inconsistency hurts them more than they admit.

he’s also the type of guy who would try so fucking hard for your parents validation. because to him it means access to you more personally, and being more involved in your life permanently. there is genuinely no bigger heartbreak to him than your mom disliking him.

what makes him an almost perfect boyfriend is how seriously he takes the bond. he doesn’t treat love as entertainment or convenience, he treats it like a real responsibility. once you’re his, you’re 100% protected.

he’s the kind of partner who notices when your mood shifts before you say anything, who positions himself between you and anything that might hurt you, physically and figuratively. the kind of partner that remembers your boundaries and enforces them even when you’re not around. he’s loyal in a way that never makes you question where you stand, because his actions make it clear.

conflict doesn’t feel like a threat to the relationship with him, it feels like something to work through, because he doesn’t scare easily when things get real.

and ugh.. keisuke does not need you to be easy to love.

you could genuinely be a nuisance to him. absolutely fucking annoying. needy. insecure. asking for reassurance every five seconds. spiraling over dumb shit. and the funny thing is, in a relationship with keisuke you realistically wouldn’t even need that reassurance, because that man is solid as a rock. he’s not going anywhere.

but even if you are like that, even if you feel unlovable, exhausting, or too much, he would never pull away, he’s not the type of guy that gets scared off by your “mess”. he doesn’t love you less when you’re inconvenient. he loves you through it. he’s the type of guy that makes you realize you were never as hard to love as you thought.

and what really gets me is that he doesn’t just “tolerate” you during those moments (even though he wouldn’t see it as tolerating). he shows you over and over again without even trying that you’re still chosen. that you’re still wanted. that your worst days don’t suddenly make you disposable. his consistency is what does the healing. no words of affirmation can compare to that, just the fact that he stays exactly the same with you even when you feel like you’re falling apart. keisuke loves in a way that teaches you you’re worth loving. not because he says it, but because his behavior never changes when you’re difficult, insecure, or convinced you’re too much. and once you experience that kind of love, it’s hard to settle for anything that feels conditional ever again.

BONUS : if you’re in a relationship w him expect him to demand to have your location open 24/7. he’s not the type to check it every 5 minutes, it’s more for his own peace of mind, just incase you’re ever in trouble.

i’ve talked about this in my account before but i’m gonna talk about it again idc.

if a scorpio has ever flirted with you, you’d know exactly what i’m talking about when i say that he’d stare at you.

he doesn’t smile at you during it like other people would if they caught someone staring at them, his eyes doesn’t dart around or look you up and down either, scorpios hold the stare directly at your eyes, more-so your soul. i’m sooo serious. it’s so intense that it’s enough to make you uncomfortable under their gaze.

scorpios aren’t the type for pick up lines and cheesy shit, if a scorpio likes you, they’d ask about you, try to get to know you more, focus on you. he’d be so attentive to everything you say, ask follow up questions, remember small details about you like which soda flavor is your favorite or how you like your coffee etc.

if you two were hanging out with the gang, he’d pull you away from them for a more intimate and private moment. doesn’t have to be because he has something important to say, it’s more “you wanna go grab coffee right now?” or “you wanna get outta here for a bit?” he’d constantly seek one on one time with you.

eye contact. eye contact. EYE. CONTACT.

scorpio’s also make themselves known to you, in any way that seems appealing to you. (example : if you like confidence, he’d come off as more direct towards you. if you like being teased, he’ll build a connection with you over that.)

also, mars’s rulership in scorpio is very “if i want it im gonna have it” energy, so trust me when i say that if keisuke has his eyes set on you, he WILL bag you.

𝐊𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒.

i’m only gonna go through kazutora, chifuyu and ryusei. i feel like in the series those are the only bonds that have shown to be “deep”. not saying that his bonds with the other toman members weren’t deep, but i just prefer talking about those three more.

KEISUKE AND KAZUTORA’s friendship started off with keisuke pointing out the fact that kazutora’s friends were using him, kazutora started being in denial saying that it was only a coincidence that he caught them like that but keisuke could see right through that even with him being so young (i think they were 11 at the time?). which just proves just how observant keisuke is right off the bat. even after kazutora punched him for talking about his friends like that, keisuke still found him admirable. “i don’t know anything about you, you’re a stranger after all. and you’re stupid, a trash to boot, it’s funny though, i don’t hate someone who gets his body beaten up for his friends, that’s why.. lets be friends, without any interests.”

and even on their first day being friends, keisuke went ahead and made sure kazutora had a nice birthday. even if it meant turning the whole town into a “rage room”. which might not be ideal realistically.. but it cheered up kazutora!

as they got older, keisuke’s loyalty to kazutora only got stronger. after everything that happened, keisuke made a choice to shoulder the blame and protect kazutora’s future, even if it meant destroying his own. to keisuke it mattered more that kazutora still had a place to come back to. that’s the core of their friendship. keisuke didn’t abandon kazutora when things got ugly, and he doesn’t resent him for the damage either. he chooses him again and again. even when it costs him his reputation, his safety, and eventually his life.

that’s keisuke for ya! being keisuke’s friend was the greatest thing that’s ever happened to kazutora, and i wholeheartedly believe that.

KEISUKE AND CHIFUYU’s friendship is way different than his with tora’s and i hate when people compare those two, or saying some bs like “keisuke killed himself for kazutora instead of living for chifuyu”. and it’s just so ridiculous cause that was not keisuke’s thought process at all.

when they first met, chifuyu was just some first year who helped keisuke write a letter to kazutora.. and yet keisuke still stepped in to defend him from third years over something small. that already tells you what keisuke values. not someone’s strength but their sincerity and kindness. “oh you let me cheat off your homework? who do you want me to kill?”

before you start.. i’m aware that chifuyu absolutely came off like a try-hard. talking nonstop about toman and wanting to join, ass kissing, etc. normally that kind of behavior would’ve had keisuke clocking someone as a poser immediately (which he did! he called him a poser.) chifuyu should’ve been written off right? but keisuke let him linger.. in a violent odd way but still!

not because chifuyu’s impressive, but because he was so very consistent, and annoying.. and persistent (his words not mine pls). but chifuyu didn’t shift his attitude depending on who was watching. he didn’t crumble under pressure or suddenly backpedal when things got rough. keisuke tested him the only way he knows how, and chifuyu stayed exactly who he was through it. A+ for fuyu!

in some way, i think that’s why keisuke kept pushing him away. chifuyu was too earnest, too willing to believe in people and comes off as naive. and keisuke didn’t want someone like that dragged into his mess. “you’re so persistent, and so annoying, chifuyu… please, abandon me.”

and yet keisuke trusted him with everything. before bloody halloween, keisuke wrote him an unfinished letter and left it with chifuyu, putting the fate of toman in his hands alongside takemichi.

“i don’t believe that the toman of today is rotten. i know without a doubt the soul of toman… of the gang the six of us established and nurtured since that day… is still alive today.”

keisuke believed toman still had a future because of people like chifuyu and takemichi. because they represented something untainted. something that could keep growing instead of being swallowed by the past.

“from that day on, i started writing letters which was really unlike me, and then.. some guy appeared on the other side of that letter.. and showed me the answer. like an abandoned cat, chifuyu, who rejected everyone around him.. grew little by little through interacting with the first division.. earned everyone’s trust.. and became a man who could lead them.”

chifuyu represents proof that keisuke’s sacrifices weren’t meaningless. kazutora is tied to the past keisuke could never undo. chifuyu is tied to the future he believed in, even knowing he wouldn’t be there to see it.

and that’s why comparing them never works. keisuke didn’t choose one over the other. he carried them differently, because they meant different things to him.

KEISUKE AND RYUSEI’s friendship is so very important to keisuke’s character as a whole. without ryusei there wouldn’t be the keisuke baji we saw in the tokyo revengers manga, and “bloody halloween” would’ve happened very differently. ryusei left a big lasting imprint on keisuke, even if most fans barely register him as a character.. his presence fundamentally affects keisuke’s mindset.

once again, this is another case where keisuke takes someone selflessly loyal under his wing.

during the fight between toman’s first division and yotsuya kaidan, ryusei takes a flying knife to the thigh to stop kojiro from killing keisuke. and keisuke immediately doesn’t read this as ryusei “saving” him. he recognizes it as something much.. relatable. ryusei clearly wasn’t protecting a guy he doesn’t know, he was trying to stop his best friend from crossing a line he could never come back from. ryusei chose pain for himself over the irreversible consequences that would’ve destroyed kojiro’s future.

keisuke understands that choice very very verrryyy well.

ryusei understands that the kojiro he once knew is gone, warped by the abuse he suffered under kensho, and yet he still stood beside him. “the place where i should’ve belonged… is painful to be in.” that line alone says everything about who ryusei is. he knows staying hurts. and yet he stays anyway.. not just by loyalty, keisuke encouraged it without realizing. without keisuke’s influence, ryusei might’ve not tried to save kojiro, and without ryusei’s influence, we wouldn’t really have the keisuke we know and love now.

when the police arrived and kojiro ran without looking back. keisuke, despite barely knowing ryusei, picked him up without hesitation. “you tried to save him, didn’t you? it’s hard to do that, isn’t it? well, i don’t know anything about you guys, but… if you still want to be in a biker gang after all this, we’d welcome someone like you.” he saw the same instinct at work. choosing to bear the damage so someone else doesn’t have to. taking responsibility for someone’s future, even when it costs you everything.

and that’s where ryusei and kojiro’s friendship starts to mirror keisuke and kazutora’s. both ryusei and keisuke are willing to destroy themselves if it means protecting the person tied to their guilt. both believe that if someone has to bleed, it should be them. watching ryusei “betray” him and chifuyu to save kojiro reinforces something keisuke already believes deep down. sometimes loyalty looks like turning against everything else to protect one person.

that moment plants a seed in keisuke’s mind, enough for him to make that same choice for kazutora.

ryusei also plays a seemingly small but meaningful role in keisuke’s life. he notices keisuke spacing out a lot, “i don’t know what you’re holdin’ on to… but if you’re not comin’ up with an answer thinkin’ about it so much… then how about you talk to someone about it?” and that nudge is what leads keisuke to start writing letters to kazutora, which is how chifuyu met keisuke :3 wowww butterfly effect!

ryusei’s role in keisuke’s life is so important to me, he validates keisuke’s instinct to carry the burden. he shows him that choosing pain to protect someone else isn’t senseless. and he quietly encourages keisuke to confront what he’s been holding onto instead of letting it rot inside him.

also!!! keisuke with friends in general is constantly misread. he always comes off as the immature, impulsive, loud one in group settings, especially in different types of medias where the whole gang is together (fanfics, art, etc) but when you actually pay attention, he’s pretty quiet. observant. he listens way more than he talks. he’ll let everyone else yap while he watches.

you can see this really clearly in the spin-off. he’s not dominating conversations or trying to be the center of attention. he hangs back, and only speaks when he has something to say.

keisuke isn’t a hard character to understand, and i wish more people knew that :( although! i love every depiction of him and im no stranger to ooc keisuke, i love him as a bully even though he would never, i love him as an adrenaline junkie who burns cars even though he’s more than just that.. but yeah. #stoptheboringkeisukestereotype!

“Are you and [____] using protection?” 

The ravenette choked on his instant noodles. Ryoko paid no mind to her son fighting for his life, merely standing with a laundry basket of wet clothes on her hip, expectant. It was so casual you would’ve thought she asked if he took out the trash. Once his airways were cleared of the processed food, Baji croaked, “Hah?”

“You better be. Don’t think a baby’s gonna get you out of university, Keisuke.” She replied, borderline threatened, as she made her way to the balcony. 

Baji spluttered, “What the hell are you talking about?!”  

“Don’t curse at your mother!” 

“Well quit saying crazy shit!” 

He swiftly dodged a clothes pin aimed at his head. Unfortunately, he wasn’t quick enough to miss the balled up, damp shirt that came soon after. Hitting him square in the face with a small thwap! Baji growled under his breath before peeling it off his head, fixing his mother a half-hearted glare. 

She ignored it, going about her business as she spoke, “I have eyes. You two aren’t exactly as subtle as you think.” 

Baji stiffened. He cleared his throat. “…Don’t know what you mean.”

Ryoko raised a brow. Then, like a rabbit out of a hat, she presented a pair of crimson red lacy panties. “I should assume these are yours then?” 

His eyes widened in horror. Like a bat out of hell, Baji shot up from his chair, sending it backward onto the floor. Borderline diving for the garment, he was unfortunately a second too late, Ryoko snatching it back and turning to hang it up with the rest of the laundry. She then turned with a knowing grin, crossing her arms whilst he stood there, dumbfounded. 

There’s an uncomfortably long pause. 

Baji eventually deflated, eyes jetted elsewhere in embarrassment. “It isn’t even like that…” 

She rolled her eyes. “Unless I raised a panty thief, I suggest you tell your mother the truth.” 

He nearly choked once more. If possible, one would be able to see steam shooting out his reddened ears. Baji sighed heavily, then grumbled out, “Alright fine, we’re a thing, whatever, no big deal.” 

“And?” 

“...And using protection. We ain’t stupid.” 

With a pleased hum, Ryoko continued the laundry. “Never said you were. Just wanted to make sure.” 

Eyeing her warily, Baji’s shoulders raised a little. “You’re not mad?”

Her brows scrunched, “Mad? I’m relieved. I was worried the only thing in that thick head of yours was delinquency and giving me gray hairs,” he squinted, mildly offended. “And for it to be with a lovely girl like [____], I couldn’t ask for a better daughter-in-law.” 

Three strikes, he’s out. Baji’s biggest op was oxygen at this point, keeling over whilst trying to keep his lungs intact, tears welling in his eyes from just how visceral his body’s reaction was. His mother finished hanging up the clothes, acting none the wiser to her son’s predicament as she daydreamed about the wedding day. “However. I don’t want any more funny business under my roof, Keisuke. Got it?” 

She bonked his head in passing, leaving him to struggle between a head and chest ache. 

Later that evening, you received a text message from the ravenette. After finishing your everything shower, you thought he was about to cancel, only to read it and find it was much worse. 

‘Good news: Ma’s happy we’re dating. Bad news: She knows we fucked in the house.’ Attached was a photo of your panties, sticking out like a sore thumb in the midst of all the other items. 

Yikes. Maybe tossing those god-knows-where in his room wasn't the brightest idea. But it wasn't your fault! Being in the moment, the last thing you were thinking about was neatly setting them aside to pick up right after fooling around under the sheets. Safe to say...you won't be visiting for quite some time. You'll keep your head down if you see her around, avoid walking past their door by scaling down the building like goddamn Spiderman if you must. But, that plan was immediately thwarted when you received another text.

'Also...she invited you to dinner. And she ain't taking no for an answer.'

Double yikes. You closed your eyes in resignation, inhaling deeply through your nose.

Well. At least you get to thank her in person for washing your clothes.

If you didn’t pass the Mama Miya test, you were OUT. 

GONE. 

EVICTED.

Without question, ATSUMU and OSAMU would drop you like a bad habit if their mother didn’t fuck with you. Because what kind of demonic energy do you carry to make such a nice lady dislike you after the first impression? Some may accuse her of being a toxic boy mom, stiff-arming any girl that tries to get with her precious baby boys…

*Loud buzzer sound* WRONG. 

She wants nothing more than for her boys to find love, to be loved, to love so hard it makes them sick with it. However, that doesn’t mean she’ll sacrifice her expectations for a pretty face that knows how to spew pretty words just for the sake of impressing her. Be anything less than genuine and you would be voted off the island in seconds. She can smell bullshit from a mile away, and they will happily bust out the febreze. 

So you can imagine how absolutely elated they were when you passed with flying colors. 

You were polite, showed up with homemade goodies, complimented her home, and were genuine about it. She could tell based on how you gushed over the curtains she got for a steal, even sharing some of your etsy shop recommendations in case she wanted more items like those at a reasonable price. Mama Miya was pretty much sold at that point. 

Unfortunately, things were about to get complicated. 

When her sons pulled her to the side to have a private conversation while you helped yourself to some tea in the living room, they decided that now was a good time to drop the bomb on her. 

“I beg yer finest pardon?” She blinked, utterly flabbergasted. 

They shuffled where they stood, feeling like a couple of foxes caught in the hen house. It wasn’t until Atsumu nudged his brother in the arm, harshly mind you, did the awkward silence end. Osamu glared at him before giving a long sigh. “Look..we know it sounds bad-” 

“Oh, did ya now? Mm. Can’t imagine how one would come to that conclusion.” She sarcastically cut. They winced. “I mean, honestly, ya may share a face, don’t mean ya should share a partner too. Call me old fashioned but this is a horrible idea.” 

“t’s not like we haven’t thought this through, Ma. If she ain’t comfortable with the idea, we ain’t gonna force it.” 

“And then what? You’ll flip a coin, see who gets dibs?” 

Peeking around the corner, she stiffened when your eyes caught each other’s. You, oblivious, waved happily while holding up your teacup. “This blend is really delicious, Miya-san!” 

She waved back with a strained chuckle, “Thank you, sweetie, have as much as you’d like!” Ducking back behind the corner, her smile instantly dropped as she sternly gazed at her knuckle-headed sons. “That poor girl don’t deserve whatever silly game ya both are playin’ at.” 

Atsumu finally decided to speak up, a little defensive. “It ain’t like that, Ma. We wanted ya to meet before we took it any further.” 

Mama Miya crossed her arms. “And how far are you plannin’ to take this exactly?” 

“Y’know ‘samu and I never usually agree on anythin’. But…we both like this one. A lot. And we agreed that if ya liked her too, then we would leave it up to her to decide. Whether it’s one of us, both of us or neither of us…we just need to make sure ya approved of her first…” 

If looks could kill, she would be standing in front of twin caskets. She quietly worked her jaw, brows knitted tight as she tapped her foot. The twins waited with baited breath, hearts pounding in their chest. If she truly felt uncomfortable with this whole ordeal, then they wouldn’t hesitate to just call the whole thing off, despite it paining them to think that meant letting such a nice girl like you slip away, all because they’re too stubborn to let the other have you. One internal battle later, Mama Miya deeply exhaled. 

“I adore her.” The twins perked up, metaphorical ears pointed high as identical smiles slowly began to form. “But. I still think this is a horrible idea. So don’t come cryin’ to me if this blows up in yer faces.”  

Atsumu was the first to wrap her in a tight hug, littering kisses across the side of her face. Osamu joined soon after, smothering the other side with an equal amount of love. Mama Miya may’ve looked annoyed, but there was no denying the endearment hidden beneath her eyeroll. “Alright, alright. Quit yer smotherin’.” 

“Ya love it.” The blonde declared, nuzzling his nose against her cheek. She merely exhaled once more, shaking her head. 

Osamu pulled away, smile softening as he muttered, “Thanks, Ma.” 

She smiled back, cheekily. “Oh, wouldn’t thank me so soon. ‘m gonna show her all yer baby pictures.” 

Both their smiles dropped. They clearly didn't think this all the way through.

A/N: This is a little shitty and short, I’m still trying to get back into the groove of things pls bear with me 💔

——————

Mikey

- He actually isn’t afraid of spiders, but will scream anyway for fun with you when you spot one.

- Half expects you to do deal with it as he doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal.

- But then you make him take one of his nasty flip-flops off and squash it. (I just know his flip-flops STINK)

- Unfortunately you almost pass out from the stench. :(

Draken

- Very nonchalant about it. And he does side eye you for screaming over a teensy spider.

- Type of guy to say ‘it’s more scared of you than you are of it’ and it gets you so annoyed.

“Y’know, you’re bigger than it, and that spider’s more scared of you than you are of it.”

“Apply that logic to grenades then as well.”

- Walks away until you make him come back but he refuses to kill it so he grabs a cup and some paper.

- It’s a-okay until he DROPS IT.

- Thinks you’re overreacting when you make him piggyback you Mikey-style any time you enter the kitchen. But he also starts wearing his slippers more often around the house..

Mitsuya

- Well we all know he’s a sweetheart about everything, so he’ll quite happily take it outside for you.

- He’s done this a million times for his younger sisters, he’s not afraid.

- He even goes the extra mile and searches up ways to ward spiders off for you.

- It’s all fun and games until one of those flying spiders happen to come in one day and you’re both freaking out.

- He does NOT fw them.

Baji

- Will laugh at you at first for being scared of a little spider until you start bickering with him over it.

- Rolls his eyes but he squashes it for your sake anyway.

- But he squashes it with his bare foot.

- “Jeez, why are you so dramatic?”

- “Keisuke, that’s actually VILE.”

- He didn’t want to get his slippers dirty so he does it with his foot which he claims is easier to clean..

- Honestly he doesn’t care. Will act like your fear of them annoys him but he actually doesn’t mind it, and he certainly doesn’t mind the affection you give him after. :)

Pah

- Won’t admit it but he’s a little scared of spiders too so he’ll be hesitant.

- You two also start bickering, until you have a good idea.

- Pochi could kill it!

- Unfortunately Pah would rather kill it himself than let his precious Pochi do that :(

- But he does get rid of it and he does expect extra compensation in kisses since you suggested Pochi kill the spider (how could you).

Chifuyu

- Sees this as his chance to shine and have his shoujo manga moment.

- “Don’t worry, honey, I’ll deal with it!”

- Takes this very seriously, and tries to find out what type of spider it is. It was a long and tedious process.

- He captures the spider under a cup and then goes to the library with him to get an encyclopaedia on spiders and how to identify them so he can deal with it ‘in the most efficient way possible for you.’

- By the time he comes back, the spider has somehow escaped.

Ran

- You wake him up from his sleep so he can get the spider for you and he’s not happy.

- He gets YOUR shoe and tries to smack it but it runs off onto the floor and under the sofa/couch.

- “Look, it’s gone.”

- “Ran!”

- “Let’s just both go back to sleep, the spider is gone now, baby.”

- Much to your dismay he goes back to bed and expects you to go back to sleep with him. (It’s 2 pm)

Rindou

- He’s a little iffy about spiders. He doesn’t like their legs or how fast they can move.

- “Why don’t we both kill it?”

- “Rindou, I can’t do that.”

- He sighs as if he’s doing you a massive favour and grabs a bug spray.

- He would squash it but he doesn’t want to clean up the spider blood that smooshes onto the wall.

- Does expect to get free passes to blast music around the house since you usually don’t let him. And a kiss or two (he wants three).

Sanzu

- Looks at you with the most blank face ever when you ask him to kill it.

- You can’t tell but he actually does care a lot about what you’re afraid of and he’s already making a mental note to research ways to ward them off in the future.

- Grabs the spider with his bare hands and starts to rip its legs off.

- “Sanzu, what the fuck.”

- “It’s scaring you, so I’m dealing with it.”

- He genuinely doesn’t see the problem and throws the legless corpse into a random bin outside.

- Thinks he did a very good job.

Izana

- Thinks you’re stupid to be scared of them, they’re minuscule and mostly harmless.

- He used to have a ‘pet’ spider when he was in the orphanage with Kakucho so he doesn’t care that it’s even there in the first place until you say something.

- Kills it with no qualms and tries to hand you the corpse.

- “Izana, I don’t want it! Go throw it away!”

- “It’s a token of my love.”

Kakucho

- He’s so patient with you and has no complaints about killing a spider for you.

- He’ll listen to pretty much anything you say, so he’s the one to kill any other bugs in the house for you.

- So he does it without question and goes back to whatever he was doing, but with his arm slung over your shoulder.

- “If you want me to do anything else, just lemme know.”

- “Kakucho, you are an angel.”

Kazutora

- He is SO confused on why you’re even afraid of something as tiny as a spider. In his mind they’re harmless and they get all the other little bugs like flies, so why wouldn’t you want to leave the spider?

- Like Draken, he doesn’t kill it and grabs a cup and some paper but complains about it the whole time.

- “I don’t even see why you’re scared, it’s nothing.”

- “Stop being mean, ‘tora!”

- Will stop complaining once he sees it’s bothering you and he’s the one giving kisses after.

- “You forgive me yet?”

- “Already did ‘cause you got the spider.”

Shinichiro

- Sees it as the perfect opportunity to show off his manliness and strength.

- He basically begs you to watch him take the spider out.

- “Honeybun, watch me do it!”

- “I’m watching, Shin..”

- Squashes it with a shoe whilst making eye contact with you.

- “Did you see how I killed that thing?”

- “Yes, I did see.”

- “Did I look strong?”
