“Did you see me, Y/N!? I was up there! On stage!!”

“That was SO amazing, Sakuya!!”

Hours of you watching and helping him practice with his script with the river and the sunset behind you two

You being there when he breaks regarding family matters after special holidays or birthdays

“We will… always be best friends, right, Y/N?”

“Until the end of times and more”

Sakuya treasuring your friendship so much, thanking having you by his side

 -

Tsuzuru

Best friends with Tsuzuru means he knows you inside and out. No secrets allowed.

You message each other so you stop procrastinating and he stops overworking

“Are you my dad, Tsuzuru?”

“Want me to smack you, Y/N?”

You sometimes arrive at the dorm and find out he’s sleeping after writing a new script. 

You smirk. It’s drawing time

“Y/N, I SWEAR!”

Movie marathons. So many movie marathons. Tsuzuru enjoys spending time with you like that, just a relaxing night with nothing to do. Best time of the day

 Throwing movies, books and old references at each other that no one else understand

Calling you late at night because he gets anxious about life in general. Appreciates you trying to talk about other stupid things so his mind wanders

“Thank you for being there”

“Where else would I be, you silly”

-

Masumi

Ah, friendship with Masumi. What you needed to get a place in heaven

Just kidding. Everyone is shocked when they see how easy it is for you and Masumi to talk to each other? No one can believe how comfortable he’s with you

You two are those type of people who did not expect to be friends with each other, but somehow, there you are

He rolls his eyes every time he sees you in the dorm though

“Get out”

“Make me”

Masumi pretends he doesn’t want you there but in reality he doesn’t know what he’d do without you.

You stealing his headphones and he just sighs and allows you saying you better not break them

Helping him to try to involve himself with others and also smacking him when he starts crossing lines with his no-filter attitude

“…thanks” Masumi sometimes blurts out of nowhere. And you grin, because you know he isn’t the best at expressing himself and you really appreciate those honest moments.

-

Citron

He’s the enthusiastic cheerleader best friend. Whenever you need him to be, he’ll be there two days earlier, with handmade signs at hand and a vuvuzela.

Citron running to show you something new he learns enthusiastically because he wants you always to be proud of him

Loving how he mispronounces words, so you sometimes not correct him because it’s just fun

“But Y/N didn’t say it was bad to call other people ‘my bitches’”

“Well, it IS, Citron, make sure to tell them”

You two probably walk around Veludo Way, watching people and making up stories from what you can gather at first sight

Citron loving hearing you talk. It calms him and somehow fills him with a nostalgic feeling.

He also likes how he can be serious with you and you will take him seriously at any moment, leaving jokes aside

“We are the most besties, are we not, Y/N?”

“The most”

-

Itaru

Being Itaru’s best friend means he’s subtle he thinks he is, but gets extremely defensive of your friendship from others. He comes home from work and you are talking or laughing with someone?

How could you

“Oh~ I guess now your best friend is Banri, uh”

“Itaru, please”

Gaming. So much gaming.

“FUCK YEAH, TAKE THAT, Y/N!”

“ITARU, HEADPHONES, REMEMBER?? YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME DEAF!”

Making fun of his immaculate appearance outside and the homeless look he has inside the dorm like a must.

Distinguishing his real smile from his fake one

Being there when he was at a loss point and getting so happy when he calls you to tell you he had found a new passion with theatre

“It’s good to hear you happy with yourself again, Itaru”

Itaru smiling softly as he hears how you will be there every time to record him, whether it’s allowed or not.

He’s glad you are his best friend

And that’s it for tonight. Next troupes will be up soon! 💕

Edit: 

🔆 Natsugumi best friend headcanons 

🍁 Akigumi best friend headcanons

Who is that?

He stumbled when he saw his dear director hugging you. He still hadn’t hugged her.

“You are so big Y/N…! Wow look at you.”

Izumi released the grasp as she moved around, looking at you up and down. You laughed at her enthusiasm “Izumi-san, it’s been less than a year since we saw each other.”

“And yet you look so different! It’s-“

“Director.”

You both turned to see the Hanasaki student standing next to you two.

“Masumi-kun! Didn’t see you there. Already back from school?” Masumi didn’t answer, frowning in silence in your direction “Ah, let me introduce you to Y/N! They were my neighbor in the area I lived before coming to Mankai”

“Hi there” you waved at him. He kept silently looking at you. Was he okay?

“…anyway, they are going to be living in a rental house close to our dorm. Please be friends with them, okay?”

“Izumi-san I’d like to remind you I’m starting my major this semester. I’m not a kid” Izumi stuck her tongue out playfully to you. You rolled your eyes amused.

The spring member saw all the luggage you had brought. So you were a friend of director’s, uh. He yawned. You didn’t look like competition, so he decided he didn’t care “Director, let’s go to our house”

“I’d appreciate you didn’t phrase it like that, Masumi-kun.”

“Member of your theatre company?” she confirmed your suspicions. You two had talked a bit about what she was up to whenever Izumi came back home to visit her mother. She had also been the one to mention the rental house near the dorm for you to move in after all.

“I’m going to go home later” Izumi explained while putting a hand on your shoulder “I met here with Y/N to help her move.”

“Me too.”

“Sorry what?”

“I’m helping too.”

                                        -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

“A major in vocal performance, that’s amazing! I am so happy you made your hobby turn into your dream. You have a great voice.” Izumi exuded genuine joy as you all headed to your place. “Do you still work on your music mockups? You used to have many”

You looked with the corner of your eyes how the boy just walked next to Izumi in silence, not really trying to take part in your conversation. Maybe he just wasn’t the talking type…? You decided not to pry. He had really taken a big part of your luggage, after all.

“Y/N?”

“Ah, sorry” you laughed, taking notice of her enthusiasm “Yes, well, If I find the time between lectures and work! I’m almost done, I hope. Heard there’s this famous company that accepts demos from new singers to promote themselves.”

“That’s so cool! I’m sure they’ll love you.”

You smiled. It felt good to see Izumi again after so long. She had always been like an old sister, supporting you as you grew up. You would always be grateful for her.

A few hours later, because it took longer than expected, Izumi ended up inviting you to have dinner at Mankai, much to Masumi’s luck.

                                            -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Weeks passed by as you finally got used to the whole aspect of living alone, not that there was much to do. Izumi kept telling you to come a few times a week to eat at the dorm and you had grown fairly confident in your control over the washing machine.

As a whole, your daily routine had also become easy to follow, however, something was up.

You had many trial demos in your apartment. Many. But nothing struck you enough to send it to that company people were all about, so you kept making more songs, hence, your stress.

You were starting to think it was because you had become too used to your sound that it started sounding bad “Maybe I should…” Having just left the station to head home from university, you noticed the quiet spring member stepping out of the Veludo music shop. You stopped walking, an idea forming in your head.

“Masumi!”

Recognizing your voice, the boy sighed. Every time you greeted him or asked how he was doing over dinner, Masumi found himself unable to push you away due to your relationship with Izumi.

“Ey! Sorry if this is sudden but I just remember Izumi-san telling me you liked music?” you mentioned as he left the store with you behind him.

“So.”

“Well! The thing is, I’m a singer. Or, well, an aspiring singer. It used to be a hobby but it grew on me you know.”

“Didn’t know”

You raised an eyebrow “We talked about it the day you helped me with my move, remember…? I’ve talked about it with everyone having dinner too.”

He shrugged, not bothering to answer.

“Anyway, I recalled Izumi-san telling me you have good taste in music, so I need your help with something”

He stopped walking and looked at you.

                                      -.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

“Don’t you have friends to review your songs?”

“I do, but what I need is the opinion of a stranger that could as well tell me what to change and that…” you turned to point him as you opened the door to your apartment “…is where you enter.”

“Remember to-”

“Yes, yes, I promise to tell Izumi-san you helped me.”

He sighed, entering in your place. He hadn’t paid attention the first time, but it wasn’t that bad. Your room was filled with CDs. You had a microphone set and headphones standing in the corner, most likely to record yourself.

“What do I need to do so I can leave.”

You punched him in the back angry, could he get more impolite? “I want a few of my songs to be approved to promote myself but I’m not sure which ones, so I want to hear your thoughts. Easy right?”

Masumi sat on your bed as you prepared the room. He was only half paying attention when he heard you singing.

He hadn’t expected you to sound like that. He focused on your voice, low-key admitting you had a pretty good balance. The concept of the lyrics wasn’t that bad either. After you finished, you took off your headphones and looked at him, seeking opinion.

“So you really are trying to become a singer.”

“Want me to punch you again?”

Masumi shrugged “It was okay” he got up but was forced down when you pushed him “Hold on, Reynold-kun, I really need more than that before I send this in.”

“Reynold…?”

You looked at him as you sat on your study chair. By his confused look, he didn’t know him “Music critic? Famous for his sharp tongue? You guys would be twins!”

“Don’t call me that.”

“Then just tell me your opinion about my piece.”

You saw him frowning and although you kind of imagined at this point, you discovered that Masumi did not have a filter whatsoever. He started talking, spending a few minutes giving his thoughts. You whistled unconsciously as you grabbed a pen from the desk and started notes “Didn’t think about any of that…”

He leaned on the edge of your bed “Can I go now?”

“Do you mind if I ask you to come in a few days after I change some things?” you looked up at him.

“Don’t.”

“I’ll go to the dorm then” you shrugged. You had to admit he had impressed you “You ever thought about studying music? You have a good ear.”

He looked around the room. Truthfully a small part of him thought it hadn’t been bad, although he wouldn’t admit it “…never thought about it. Also, don’t come to the dorm.”

“Too late, Omi-san already sent me the menu. Your parents might disagree?

“I just need director.”

“Eh~” you smiled at him, your hand resting on your chin “But I didn’t ask that.”

For some reason, Masumi’s stomach twisted, a weird sensation running ”Stop smiling like that.”

                                       -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Over the next weeks, although mainly forced, Masumi saw himself spending more and more in your house.

At first, he had been uncooperative, not even with Izumi’s help. However, he soon discovered had lots of tracks from different types of music, many new. And so, while you corrected your songs, in exchange, you let him listen to the CDs. He had tried to take them home so he didn’t go that much, but you disapproved the idea of separating yourself from your precious discs.

He wouldn’t say it out loud, but it also didn’t bother him as much as he thought.

“Masumi do you- ah, are you going to Y/N’s place?” Tsuzuru looked at his roommate as he crossed paths with him in the entrance.

The student stopped before opening the door, unable to contradict him “…keeps bothering about their demo unless I go…what do you want.”

“We were just going shopping. It’s okay, I’ll ask Sakuya or someone else, say hello to Y/N for me.”

Tsuzuru had to hide the smile that grew on his face as the high schooler walked out of the dorm to yours.

Whenever you came to Mankai to have dinner now, the whole dorm had noticed how you had been able to enter his world fast. Well, as far as fast was in terms of Masumi’s walls.  

“Tsuzuru-kun? Did you ask Masumi-kun to come?”

“He left to go to Y/N’s”

Izumi smiled when she heard the reason. It really had been a gratifying surprise when she saw how many conversations Masumi initiated with you. Mainly about music yes, but that wasn’t all. Over time, he seemed to have grown comfortable with you. The biggest changes were moments when he would still meet with you even though Izumi was asking for people to accompany her somewhere. They were rare of course, as Masumi still trailed behind most of the time, but they were there.

Izumi knew Masumi wasn’t conscious of it yet, but something inside him was changing, and you had become the key.

Here you would find:

Citron- No further questions needed, he loves it and needs more space for all the cute merchandising he has (where did he found the money for them, you don’t want to ask)

Taichi- He has the time of his life watching with you! You both are usually commenting on everything that happens in the episode. Sometimes even trying things to see how they would turn in real life.

Itaru- Okay, all the games that turn into anime? He’s seen some even BEFORE you. You got angry but he watched the together with you again.

Kazunari- Insert one hell of an amount of fanarts here. He sometimes asks if you even would want to go to the comicons together.

Homare- He would never say no to being exposed to anything art related (even more if you suggested it!) turns into big critic-review mode whenever you two end a series or specific episode.

Banri- Here comes the known-it-all. You end up bickering about which turn is too decided what to watch, however, that’s just because he loves teasing you. He’s usually fine with anything you put.

.

 Then follows the ‘Daily watchers’ group. I think they very enjoy watching it but even more if you asked them to do it together (more time to be with you!) They sometimes miss things so they are grateful you fill them in with information. Sometimes, they even suggest staying in the dorm to keep up with the new season of anime starting, usually having somewhat of a preference for genres but allowing you to educate them around others.

We would have the following:

Sakuya- He’s pretty chill with whatever you end up choosing to want, enjoying them all wholeheartedly. Whenever someone in class mentions a new anime he runs to talk to you about it excited of how you would react and starts planning when to watch it.

Misumi- He’s delighted whenever you tell him you found an anime he might like. Hugs you from behind and hums as you both watch that series. Also, competition to see how many triangles you find in an episode at least once per series.

Muku- You and Muku could be the expert couple regarding shojo anime. Gushing and enjoying time watching it allow you to relax each other’s company. Friendly discussion whenever you two don’t agree with the main pairing.

Hisoka- To your surprise, Hisoka gets engaged rather easily in whatever anime you decided to watch, leaning on your lap or shoulder.

Tenma- He was a bit skeptical first, but he’s starting to become closer to the ‘hardcore!’ group as time passes. Whenever he’s out working, he calls you and you both watch it in a conference call.

Tsumugi- His students usually give him tips when he mentions an anime you might like to watch. He comes home and you two discuss to watch after dinner

Yuki- He tends to look at how the character dresses but ends up getting absorbed in the dynamic of the episode even more than you “I thought you didn’t appreciate why the lied to their families” “Changed my mind, now shush”

Tsuzuru- In a huge family like his, he’s super familiar with many animes and references so he would gladly accept watching both old and new ones. They also help him a lot to get new ideas for the plays so it killing two birds with one stone

.

 Finally, we have the ‘Casual but curious!’ group. I would say they had never had much contact with anime but enjoy it with you because it means cuddling time and because seeing you simply happy watching or reacting makes them smile too. After some time they might even start asking you to put more different genres to watch together.

Here we would find:

Masumi- He accepts mostly because he loves how you rest in his arms as you two watch the TV. However, at some point he starts asking you to go with him to buy that CD from the last anime you watched together. He now has collection.

Azuma- Loves seeing your reactions change so fast as the episodes progress. He would usually prepare some drinks to have and relax watching your favourite series with you.

Omi- Even though his siblings and he himself watched anime when he was younger, he never really kept watching it as he grew up, however, he fully appreciates whenever you start explaining things to him he forgot. He usually prepares some snacks too.

Juza- He relishes any time he has with you, doesn’t matter what you two are doing. Most of the time you two usually get together and enjoy watching episodes after he finishes acting practices or if you both don’t have anything after school.

Tasuku- Not a problem if you ask for an inside-date bingeing anime. Sometimes he frowns at whatever is going on as he gets lost a lot though “Did that person start glowing up in the middle of the basket court?” “Yep”

Sakyo- Surprisingly ok although it wasn’t in his plans, he always follows the story of whatever anime you guys are watching with a rather critical eye and you find it hilarious. He blushes when he notices it.
