THE END — i’ll make up an ending, or post the ending if i’ve written it

okay so. the thing you gotta know about me is that I have many (many) WIPs in the backburner going on at all times, so you get two :V (untitled so far because that's just how I roll~)

1) 2.43 Seiin Boys' Volleyball Team, Oda/Aoki future fic:

Then again, it’s Aoki; he trusts him to have his back, just like how Aoki trusts him to lead the way and take them somewhere they’ve never been before. Together.

He can do it.

“Seriously, how obvious do I gotta be?” He gives their joined hands another swing and risks a glance up, meeting Aoki’s open expression head on. “Aren’t you supposed to be the smart one?”

That earns him a quiet huff of laughter. “I guess,” Aoki shifts his gaze away, voice gentle like he’s revealing a secret. “Then again, I've never been this terrified of getting it wrong.” It tingles, where Aoki’s thumb brushes across the back of his hand, and he can feel Aoki’s fingertips tremble, just a little.

He can’t help it—he rolls his eyes, bumping into Aoki’s side with a fond rush of exasperation. “Well, you don’t have to worry about that.”

“I don’t, huh?” Aoki looks at him with tender eyes, his usual thin smile softened by affection. 

He squeezes his best friend’s (boyfriend’s!) hand, tugging Aoki along the winding streets of Kyoto at dusk, “Not with me.”

(this scene is the second thing i’ve written for this fic... i still gotta plan out the stuff in-between to give my boys their happy ending (well. happy beginning)

it’s just... odaoki is still going strong in the interlude chapter of the college arc of 2.43! i love the volleyboys)

2) JJBA: DiU, Okuyasu and family

“Tch. Go live your own life, brat.” Keicho clicks his tongue, turning away from his little brother with a parting wave. “And watch your ass when you get back, Okuyasu.” I’m proud of you. Stay safe. 

“I will.” Okuyasu says from somewhere behind him. “Anyway, it’s Josuke I’m worried about right now,” he sighs, somehow anxious and stubbornly fond at once.

Then all Keicho hears is the echo of Okuyasu’s uneven footfalls in the darkness, sprinting further and further away with each passing second. His baby brother’s going home to people who care about him, who love him, who’d be there for him… 

Good. Fuckin’ finally.

(tbh idk if this is the ending? might have a segment set in the future where Okuyasu and Josuke are living together, since the first segment of the fic features Josuke’s feelings about Okuyasu’s depressing house... 

if I do decide on ending it with the future segment:

“Aww shit, gotta run!” “Aren’t you forgetting something?”  “Uh…” Josuke taps his lips impatiently. “Where’s my goodbye kiss, bro?” Oh, right!  “Have a quiet night, yeah?” Josuke murmurs as they break apart, squeezing Okuyasu’s shoulder. Okuyasu rubs the back of his neck. “You know it ain’t up to me.” Then again, the number of bizarre violent incidents in the area have been slowly petering off through the years; Morioh’s been kept safe thanks to the Stand users in town, who are numerous in number and territorial by nature. “Good luck with grading.” “Yeah, I’m gonna need it.” Josuke makes a face. It’s a cute look on him, but then again, Josuke’s always cute. Okuyasu gives him another peck, this time on the cheek, before pelting out the door to catch the bus that’ll take him to S Town for his shift at the hospital. Sometimes he still can’t believe how lucky he is, that a swell guy like Josuke likes a guy like him so much. But hey, firsthand experience shows they’re an unstoppable duo, just like Simon and Garfunkel.  And if there’s anything he’s learned over the years, it’s that a guy like him ain’t such a bad thing to be, anyway.

Tonights Chapters:

Duwangs: Lets Go Get Some Italian Food! VA: Final Orders From The Boss! (And Onwards)

oh man, jojos... i gotta go with the best boys from beautiful duwang

• when or if I started shipping it

oh! i got the exact moment when i liveblogged my way thru DiU

• my thoughts

honestly? i was invested in their dynamic the moment josuke healed okuyasu during their fight and oku returning the favor by using the hand to let josuke rescue koichi. okuyasu is a rare and precious treasure and i just want him to be loved and happy!!

the two became Best Bros in no time after the nijimura brothers arc, and they’re so affectionate with each other??? just casually holding on and draping themselves across each other, shooting the shit together...  they’re both really loving kids who care about and support each other! look at josuke comforting his pal! they go on lunch dates together!

the fact that josuke and okuyasu show up practically everywhere as a unit is a big plus, and it helps that we see them interacting across a range of different situations—from being enemies to goofing off to being in life-threatening situations together—they constantly have each other’s backs! 

(real talk: i bawled during the final confrontation with Kira)

tldr: I’M GOING DOWN WITH THIS SHIP

• What makes me happy about them

okuyasu pulled through and avoided death!

• What makes me sad about them

lmao they never showed up outside of part 4 and then the world got retconned...i’m not bitter or anything

• things done in art/fic that annoys me

i'm not sure... i guess i’m not too keen on dramatic misunderstandings and both parties being plagued by insecurities that lead to the stagnation of their relationship? not that they gotta shout their love at the top of their lungs, just that i tend to prioritize fanworks where they’re reasonably secure in their solid friendship, and i prefer misunderstandings to be more humor based rather than drama based

also i guess stuff where they don’t really feel like bros in order to emphasize the romos feels a bit weird? i know they’re boyfriends but remember, they’re brofriends first

• things I look for in art/fic

domesticity! the duality of being little shits and good-hearted boys! okuyasu being loved and supported by his friend group! touching on oku’s unusual family situation is also good. (for all that stuff about okuyasu “being dumb” it takes a resilient kid to deal with all the shit he went through, and i really loved the detail about him choosing to save his money in the bank...)

also i dig teens being teens, so earnest but clumsy with their feelings, and being dense in hilarious ways  (like... one of them thinking they’ve already been dating for a while and the other gearing up to confess on an Epic Romantic Outing they’ve painstakingly planned? great and hilarious.)

• Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other

n...no???

• My happily ever after for them

just...keep living life together, protecting and supporting each other... i like to think they eventually get married

• what is their favorite non-sexual activity?
