shin asakura

oblivious scale : 7 . shin’s obviously got some insider info on what you’re feeling, but he’s surprisingly oblivious. i feel like he’d feel suupppeer guilty for reading your mind— that and he always gets distracted whenever he has a chance to hear any important thoughts that could give him an idea of how you feel about him. next time, for sure, shin thinks— and the next time he’s already fighting back the urge to bash his head against the wall in both nervousness and embarrassment, then the opportunity slips away.

hc : constant hand-brushing . shin reeaallly doesn’t mean for it to happen, and he knows that you don’t either— because he can literally hear the way your thoughts stutter and stop for a moment as his fingers lightly brush against yours. he thinks it’s just soooo cute !

hc : all of your favorite things find themselves in your hands . he knows exactly what you want and what you like. ‘oh man, that keychain is so cute.’ you think to yourself— and in the following days, shin is suddenly holding out that exact same keychain for you with flushed cheeks.

kei uzuki

oblivious scale : 4 . he most definitely knows that you have some type of feelings for him— kei can understand that much. but either way, he still feels just a little unsure about this all. like, how does he know his mind isn’t playing tricks on him? but he thinks that look on your face is pretty sincere.

hc : constant eye contact . uzuki doesn’t even mean for it to happen. his gaze just naturally meets with yours! sure, he sometimes glances over to your on purpose, but other times it sort of just.. happens.

hc : lingering . the man really likes being close to you, he realises. so it’s only natural that he’s just a little hesitant to leave your side. “bye, uzuki.” “bye, (name).” and the two of you just stand there in silence. and once you finally do walk away from him, albeit a little hesitantly, he stays standing for a few seconds. uzuki stares, dazed, before he finally leaves too.

nagumo yoichi

oblivious scale : 1 . nagumo deeeeffiiinittleyyy knows. he probably knew even before you did! he only feels a little doubt sometimes, but they quickly wash away when he catches a subtle glance from you.

hc : spontaneous visits . he can’t help it! he just wants to be with you allll the tiimmeee. so, don’t be surprised when you hear knocking on your door and nagumo standing there, covered in blood and smiling widely.

hc : casual touching . now, nagumo’s not overbearing at all with his touching at all. sure, he likes to pat your head or your shoulder, maybe hold your hand or poke at your cheek— but he never touches you enough to cross the lines of.. whatever you’ve got going on. he thinks it will stay this way for a while. holding hands but never intertwining fingers. patting your head but never stroking your hair. poking your cheek but never caressing it.

heisuke mashimo

oblivious scale : 9 . this one shouldn’t be too surprising. i mean, this is heisuke we’re talking about. however, he’s surprisingly perceptive at time— but he just doubts himself. you smiled at him? that definitely means you like him, right?! wait, no.. you’d never like a guy like him..

hc : doodling . heisuke isn’t sure how he’s supposed to make a move. the man spends a few days thinking, his thoughts rolling around his head like little marbles as he bashes his forehead against a wall. he doesn’t know what to do!— until he gets it. he finally thought of something. he’ll draw you a portrait! however, when the picture finally finds it’s way to your grasp, you’re not sure if this is supposed to be a threat or a compliment. it’s the thought that counts, so you give heisuke a beaming smile— a smile that makes him want to draw one million more pictures for you if he gets to see that smile again. so, every now and then, heisuke shyly hands you a little paper— or piisuke brings it to you!

extra : doodling . additionally, he likes to draw on your hands. his warm hand grabs yours, the other shakily holding onto a pen. you agreed to let him do this, so it’s okay, he reminds himself. the end product is a little wobbly, but cute!

hc : acts of service . heisuke doesn’t have the funds to buy you expensive and lavish items, so he’s decided to compensate for that by becoming your personal dog. okay, not actually. but he overhears you saying you’re tired? do not worry, heisuke is already on his way to give you a piggy-back-ride! need water? he’s scrambling to share his water bottle with you!

natsuki seba

oblivious scale : 3 . natsuki is pretty sure that he’s got a pretty firm grasp on what you feel of him, judging by the way you linger in his workshop, occasionally asking about him or bring him something. but what if you’re just being friendly? he sighs, figuring that dwelling on it will do no good.

hc : sweet sharing . one thing that the two of you have made a tradition is for you to bring him something sweets sometimes when he’s busy in the workshop. at first, he was a little confused— why is this random person coming here with sweets for him? are they poisoned? but once he realises you’re a friend of shin’s, he guesses you’re probably not the type to do that. so he had some of those for the rest of the day— and just like that, you started to come by more often. he wonders where you get all these sweets from. one day, though, he decides to do something. “(name),” he calls out for you as you move to leave. you glance back at him curiously. “yes?” “stay. let’s share.” natsuki offers, gaze shifting away from the weapon he’s working on and meeting with yours. ever since then, you both share these sweets together.

hc : metal flowers . natsuki is obviously good with metal and stuff like that— so it’s obvious he’d use his skills to impress the person he likes. he works for a few nights, perfectly crafting some roses from metal. he didn’t really feel like buying an actual bouquet— because those wither rather fast— so, he settled with these. he binds a small strip of metal into a bow around the stems of these flowers, and a small, proud smile graces his lips.

gaku

oblivious scale : 0 . gaku absolutely 100% knows about how you feel. he can tell by that little sparkle in your eyes whenever he’s around.

hc : casual closeness . you’re just casually sitting on a couch in the hideout, humming absentmindedly to yourself as you scroll through your phone. that game looks cool, you think. d just as you write down a reminder to buy that game, you feel a figure slide onto the couch beside you. his (very nice and delicious) muscular arm resting on the back of the couch, his forearm just barely brushing against the back of your head. you swear that you feel a chill down your spine. you snap your head to look at the offender— a man named gaku. he just stares blankly, before his lips curve into a lazy smirk. heh. he knew you’d react like that. the man’s definitely not shy to get close. standing behind you, his breath gently fanning over the back of your neck? daily occurrence at this point. linking his arm with yours when he feels like it? easy. resting his chin on your shoulder? why are you so fidgety? oh, why are you getting so flustered when his hand reaches for yours?

hc : annoying touches . gaku thinks you’re really funny when you’re startled. he first realised this when his hand accidentally latched onto the hood of your jacket and tugged you down a little. you yelped, turning around and blinking back at gaku. that’s how he fell in love with these reactions. ever since then, he’s found great pleasure in tugging your hair lightly, pulling you back by the hood of your jacket, pulling your shoes off when you’re sitting down, and other things that he’s noticed you react to. he just gives you a nonchalant shrug when you confront him about it— but the subtle flush on the tips of his ears, and the almost unnoticeable curve of a smile on his lips betrays his enjoyment.

shishiba

oblivious scale : 0 . shishiba knows. he knew since the start.

hc : walking home . the first time you two walked home, it was a rainy night. raindrops were pouring, and the skies were dark and cloudy. you’re way too close to home, so you’d feel bad catching a bus or or taxi. shishiba gives you a side-glance, taking note of your contemplative expression. “i have an umbrella.” he says, his gaze shifting away from yours. “let me walk you home.” shishiba adds, clearing his throat softly. and with that, you both started to walk home together more often. or to the nearest train station, bus stop, etc.

He definitely puts a lot of effort into reading you. He wouldn't read her mind to learn about your thoughts and feelings. He feels that's too invasive. So he'll just hang around you as much as possible to figure that out.

Once he figures out what you like, you'll notice them around you more. He'll hand you snacks you liked, offer to take you to places you randomly mentioned. And soon enough, he'll essentially become a charm that foreshadows some small pleasure in your life!

Does that mean he's smooth about it? No. He'll definitely have a piece of candy you like, stuffed in his pocket or something, while you take a walk and ramble. All he's thinking is how good you look and sound as well as how how gift it to you without looking like a complete loser.

Does he still make a complete fool of himself? Yes. Absolutely. He totally nails it!

He'll probably gather the courage to do it when he's dropping you off. He'd stop you and hold out his hand with the gift. Something will be muttered about how he saw it around and thought you'd like it. He saw how excited you were while talking about it and wanted to see that sparkle again. His gaze will be everywhere but your face with a bored expression. His cheeks are hot as hell and he hopes you don't see it.

"Hey, so, I saw this during one of my breaks. It seemed like something you'd like, so take it."

Anyway, he's such a cutie-patootie when he's in love. Would recommend both for love and entertainment! But the tsun moments kinda ruin the whole vibe. It does get better with time!

Yoichi Nagumo

He's one who plays the 'deny' card. He'll go so far to convince himself that you're just, another one of his interesting playthings that'll bore him once he's done playing.

So when he spends his time watching you — either from hidden vantage points or acting as other random civilians— or when he finds himself visiting you more whenever he has an actual gap in his schedule, he realises that yeah, you're stuck for a while.

So, he decides to do what he does best— be a pest present body! He's everywhere! At your job, your apartment, your favourite hangout spots. You'd think he doesn't have any hobbies!

Wrong! You're his hobby ♥︎

But seriously, he's like your shadow-bodygaurd. Always around. Too close to feel random, but too far to be caught.

"[Name]! Wow! What a coincidence! I didn't know you came here to get [insert your exact coffee order]!"

He's very flirty and playful. Because of how many jokes and pranks he plays, it gets very difficult to tell when he's playing and when he's speaking from the heart. Sometimes he'll confess his feelings and then play it off as a joke. Other times, he'll confess, then leave you hanging.

He'll definitely get down on his knee, grab you hand with the most lovesick smile possible and hit you with a:

"[Name], I've loved you for as long as I can remember. Please do me the honour of going out with me. I'll show you how a real man treats a woman."

You're either impressed or you're not. Either way, it definitely startles you. And he does it at the most random times too! While you're talking about something, even in the middle of crowded streets! Oh, he loves doing it in crowds. It's just the way everyone stops and stares at you both— all in anticipation for your response. That awkwardness you feel is honestly so cute to him!

But if you're that against it, he'll minimise the frequency and crowd numbers.

Now, we know that he's not exactly for Sakamoto's retirement and lifestyle change. But, with you, he actually considers it. There are some nights where he'll stay up alone and entertain the idea. Thing is; he's vocal about it too! He is totally not against telling you dreams! In the most Nagumo way possible....

"Say, [name], darling. What do you say, I quit my job as assassin and we get married. We could even run away together and live happily ever after! You can still work and I can be your perfect house-husband! Or we could stay home together. I've got enough cash stashed away from my business with the Order to keep us safe and comfortable—"

"What do you mean 'no?' Was my offer not appealing enough? Do I need to list off my qualities as a husband to you? I can cook, clean and make sure you're absolutely satisfied! Both in and out of bed— Ow! Don't hit me!"

Though, yes, he will dilly dally, he'll definitely get things done. Even if he doesn't act like it, you're a priority in his life. He's even willing willing put you above his duty to the Order!

Patience is key with this man. In every joke, there's something earnest in it— if you know how to look at it. That being said, the pranks can be annoying. Expect the unexpected. And then doubt him at every turn.

Heisuke

It starts out as him thinking you're the second coming of god. So he basically worships the ground you walk on.

This happens for literal months before he's at Sakamoto's, gushing about you before Lu just goes, "Sounds like you have a crush on [reader]." Before going back to work. Then it all clicks!

He's such a fool! He's constantly following you around, laughing and complimenting you. He would clumsily try a few acts of service or gift making. It's sloppy, most times out of 10, but its the effort that counts!

He's another one who seeks out Sakamoto for advice. Does he pick up everything the older man is putting down? No. Be for real. But he's got the spirit and it shows!

He definitely talks to Piisuke about you. They'd be sitting somewhere while he's feeding his companion and rambles about you.

"Piisuke, did you see [name] today? They were so cute! Oh, you like them too, huh? That's even more of a reason to love them.

You know how he feels. Ignoring how blatantly obvious he is about his crush— with his beet red face in your presence and his constant stammering — he isn't verbally discreet either. You have 200% walked in on him talking about you to Piisuke.

Speaking of his conversations with his feathered companion, he has also fantasised about marrying you one day. And he's not quiet about it either. He can already hear the wedding bells and see his picture-perfect wedding with you. All the while he does this, there's this stupid grin on his face while he quietly giggles to himself.

You're practically his god, in a sense. You make him want to be an even better man for you! He literally holds off on proposing to you/ asking you out. Literally rambles to Piisuke how he'll get a well-paying before he even considers asking you out.

"Oh, [name]? Of course I wanna make them mine! But they don't deserve to be stuck in a dump with some homeless bum like me... So I'll be better!"

Overall, he's a clumsy fool in love! Anything and everything he does is filled with so much love that it's almost sickening!

Shishiba

Honestly the best out of them. He clocks it the quickest and accepts it. It mostly has to do with the fact that he's very nit-picky about what he likes and dislikes, so figuring that you fall into the former category didn't prove too difficult. It just came down to how high up the list you are. He very quickly learns that you're surprisingly high up.

He basically treats you like a princess. Random gifts just showing up at your door, at work, or even handing them to you himself, lavish meals— especially dinners— just on any random day. Or, if he's feeling particularly calm, he'll take you to some ramen restaurant in a far corner of town. Sometimes it's multiple times a week. Don't worry, he'll also provide you with suitable attire every time.

"Oh, dear, I have somewhere to take you tomorrow night. You don't need to worry about anything other that showing your pretty face to me, kay? I'll take care of everything else."

I'd say he's very obvious with his feelings. He'll call you pet names. And even when he does use your name, it's said with such care, like it'll shatter if he doesn't give you the reverence you deserve.

If you ask anyone, they'll just say that he treats you like a sacred treasure— something precious he keeps under lock and key. Which, to be fair, you are. The logic behind it is; if he sees value in you, how long is it going to take before someone else does too? He's not dumb enough to wait and find out.

God forbid anyone gives you any issues! He will make sure that person never gives you trouble again! If you catch my drift...

He'd never get mad at you. In his eyes, you can do no wrong! It stems from a lot. It's the fact that he thinks you're perfect. It's also the fact that he thinks you're perfect. That being said, he can't fault you for anything. Any and all mistakes— including the ones involving his meals and onions— will be gently corrected. A lenient hand on your back, a soft voice and comforting words is all you hear from him.

"Oh, no, [name], dear. You can't mean to think I'd hate you for this. Putting onions in my soup was a complete accident. You're still my perfect angel."

Much like how he only sees the best if you— which is all of you— he only want you to see the best of him. You'll never see him crash out or get violent with anyone. As far as you're concerned, he's just a kind-hearted man who's always giving and treating you like you're made of glass.

Every time you say this, people look at you weird. They genuinely think you're either crazy or talking about a whole other Shishiba.

The Order believes you! Somewhat. Especially Osaragi!

Just a gentleman all in all. Even with all his render gestures, you'll never quite shake off the feeling that there's something he's hiding from you. Whether you're into that is up to you.

Gaku

Mr man is genuinely oblivious. He can tell that you're special. He thinks you look better, smell better, your voice is prettier that everyone else's and you make him feel all funny. But he just shrugs it off, thinking he's 'bugging-out' or something.

"They're making me feel weird. Did they poison me without me noticing? Can't be."

But when the abnormalities reoccur, he finally decides to ask someone about it. It's then that he's able to put these strange feelings into words. He's not all that sure about what love is, outside platonic and familial, so give him a minute to figure things out!

Following his conversation of enlightenment, he'll just hang around you. It's both because he likes being around you. But it's also because he wants to understand you and the feeling you give him.

He also helps you out a ton. Carrying groceries? Don't know why you're putting so much strain on your muscles when he's right there! In fact, he'll even unpack them for you. Just sit tight and look as ethereal as you do.

He keeps you close when he's gaming. You're either next to him or in his lap. Occasionally, he'll rests his head in your lap. Just in general, he'll have you close to him. His favourite position is when you sit between his legs with his head on yours or your shoulder— depending on on your height— with his hands over his lap with his console. He'll just play over your lap in silence.

People have definitely noticed his sudden closeness to you. And they never shut up about it. When they don't, they just quietly stare at you with knowing looks. In your case, you think that he's just like this by default because of how nonchalant he is while he does. Because of how relaxed he is in your presence, he just assumed it's normal. Would he pull this with anyone else? Nope. Not in a billion years.

"What do you mean? There's nothing weird about how close I am with [name]. I like them, so of course I'd want to keep them close."

He actually shares his games with you. Don't be surprised when he invites you to a quiet day where you just game and cuddle all day!

Overall, he's really cute and helpful! People actually think you're dating because of how close you are. Again, it's up to you whether that misunderstanding bothers you. He's just a little slow, but he's got the right spirit.

Tenkyu

This man is annoying! He'll barely even realise that you're growing on him until he notices how bothered he is by your discomfort. For whatever reason, he's automatically scrambling to fix whatever issue you have.

"Huh? [Name], are you crying? Shoot! Don't cry! Hold on, we can go do something fun—"

Now, you'd think he's psychic with the way he just shows up with want you want before you even realise it! You don't know whether to be impressed or terrified.

In the same breath, you don't have many bad altercations with people anymore! Anytime someone wrongs you, that person rerurns a day later, on their knees in tears in front you or doesn't return at all! The specifics behind why this is the case are unknown to you, but you'll attribute it to your guardian angel.

Like I said, he deeply cares for you, even if he won't realise or admit it. That being said, he's always around you.

He also makes people think you're dating. Except his is purely unintentional. He'll take you to meet everyone close to him and introduce you as 'someone special.' People give you both funny looks, but carry on with your day.

"Hey, guys! I've got someone really cool for you to see! Meet [name]! They're really previous, so be nice, 'kay?"

He also takes you to cool spots. He finds an abandoned building with a great view; it's mere weeks before you know about it. There's a spot in the middle of a forest that looks like it came straight out a fantasy novel? You're about the be the mythical royalty at its centre!

Overall, he's a cute sweetheart. He's oblivious to how couple-y you seem, but it doesnt seem like he minds either way. He's just happh to be around.

Gozu

He's so chill about it. No drama, no complications. He clocks it and locks in.

Basically no one will be able to tell the difference. Especially you! He treats you like a really close friend, at best. Sure, his touches linger.

If he sees you just out and about, it doesn't doesn't take him a second to decide to go up to you and sling an arm around your shoulder. Next thing you know, he's like that for the rest of the conversation.

"Yo, [name]! It's been a minute. Mind if I chil here for a bit?"

He's honestly such a vibe! You both both fit checks together. We'll ignore how it's most him just him checking you out and calling you pretty the whole time. (He genuinely believes you're gorgeous in everything you wear, so you can't blame him.

"Oh! That one's cute. Do a quick twirl for me. Mhm, yup! Keep this one on."

He's another one that makes people think you're dating already. Okay, maybe not dating per se. But y'all are way too close to just be friends. They definitely think something is going on. He's too close and you're too comfortable with it.

On that same note, he'll ease you into it. He'll just show you how good a boyfriend he can be for you, should you say yes.

He actually won't mind if other guys approach you. I'm fact, he'll take it as another opportunity to show off how much better he is. On that same note, he kinda feels the other guy. Like babe, you are fine shyt. He agrees. He'd hit on you too, ngl!

"Ehhh. Soild shot. [Name] doesn't go for guys who say stuff like that. 6/10. Don't try again next time."

Like I said, it's honestly the calmest thing ever. You'd barely be able to tell the difference. Though, if you do, youve just known him long enough to figure that out.

Natsuki Seba

He's not in denial. He's not in acceptance. He's just slow.

It'll take him a while to piece together that you're special to him. And even longer still to understand what that means for him. Point is: the process takes anywhere between a few months to a year.

When he's taking extra breaks during his work to see you or subconsciously prioritising all your technical needs above his work, nothing says to him that it's anything weird. If anyone else was dumping extra work on his already overflowing plate, he'd coldly turn them away. You, however, can give him double the work and he'd do it without question.

"Seriously, [name], you don't have to worry about it. If it's bothering you that much, you can bring it me. I'll take a look at it. I have time."

Anyway, he is an unintentional sweetheart. Got a problem with your phone? Don't bother with those cell phone repair shops. Bring it to him. Instead of waiting a whole few days to fix your technical issues, you'll just have to wait till te end of the day. At latest! If he has extra time, he might even add an extra feature for you!

Other than that, he's always showing off. Every time he makes a new invention or gadget, you're the first to see and test it. Once, he actually had one of his gadgets locked up so no one would be allowed to take a peek before you got to.

"Nuh-uh. None of you can take a peek. I still need [name] to see it in perfect condition first."

For someone who is very particular about schedules and workloads, he seems a little too lenient with you. The fact that he's lenient, period, is astonishing enough! There's always time in his day for you and only you. (And his brother, but that's beside the point.) He takes more breaks in his day. And ehen when finally clocks out, he actively seeks out your presence too.

He definitely keeps you around more. It has gotten to the point where there is a designated spot for you in his workspace. It has a comfy chair and some of your favorite snacks too! How he knows what you like? Not even he can answer that. So let's call it his 6th sense, kay?

Overall, a solid guy! You don't know how he feels about you. Because quite frankly, he doesn't know how he feels about you! So you both just think that he sees you as a treasured friend. So, it's an experience.

a/n: Never call yourself a Gaku enthusiast, you're the Gaku enthusiast to me pooks 😌 (Might just make an anon list. Lmk if that's something yall would be into 🤔)

I sadly realised that a lot of them felt the same, so I actually had to delve into specifics so it wouldn't just be copy paste all the time

But on the Tenkyu thing, again, I haven't read the manga yet. So I struggle with manga characters, since I don't know much about them and will have to rely on other random clips, screenshots or character analyses. That being said, I know what it's like to like a show/ character, then go online and find nothing on them. So I'll do me best for you!

Bro, people kepe asking for me to write on manga characters! Is this a sign to ACTUALLY read the damn manga???

SHIN ASAKURA —

Shin is not used to the change at all. His first thought is prioritizing getting you back. But looking at you now, sleeping in the sun, he starts to wonder if that’s what you really want. Your thoughts are stranger now, harder to read. Sometimes they only appear as images, and the voice in your mind is much quieter. 

Lu is not alarmed at the change at all. In fact, she takes the opportunity to chase you around, trying to pet you or hold you. Shin chastises her to be more careful. She doesn’t offer any good advice on how to turn you back, either, and tries to get you to drink alcohol. Good thing you're still a human inside, or else that could have gone badly. He finds Sakamoto next, but he’s just as useless, only patting your head in silence.

While he’s at the counter focused on thinking, you jump next to him. He looks at your eyes. They’re the exact same colour as when you’re a human. He has to admit you turned into a very cute cat. He looks at you.

”Meow.”

He doesn’t get what you want, but he eventually reaches forward to pet you. 

You leave fur all over him when you lie on his lap. He misses talking to you on breaks, but you still accompany him, tail swaying leisurely and letting Hana pet you, or playing with Piisuke when Heisuke comes by. You seem completely.. unbothered, at least for the time being. He takes a deep breath and tells himself to relax. 

Admittedly he gets worried when he loses sight of you for the first time. He knows typical cats need their sleep and alone time, but he frets that perhaps some assassin took you. Why would an assassin take a cat in the first place, he doesn’t know, but he can’t help but worry anyway. He gets so relieved when he just finds you sleeping or hiding somewhere in the shop or returning from a walk with the Sakamotos. 

Rating: 8/10. He plays with you and gets you back to human form quickly, and you get lots of attention from the employees of the store. 

YOICHI NAGUMO —

He finds the temporary change so cute! You could be stressing out about it and he wouldn’t even care. Loves randomly picking you up and taking you along his merry way or assaulting you with pets. You know the videos where the owner pets their cats more aggressively each time? That’d 100% be him. He just likes teasing you too much!

He buys you all types of cat toys to see if you’re interested in them. Maybe some feline instinct. He waves it in front of you while you’re trying to nap. You don’t seem to be reacting. In fact, you’re rather annoyed at him. But your hissing doesn’t seem to drive him off. But as he places the plastic mouse closer to you, that’s when you strike! You promptly severe the string and fruitlessly throw the mouse at him. Alright, no toys it is. 

Canonically rich. Buys you a lot of luxury cat food. You seem hesitant eating it, so he buys you food both humans and cats can ingest and handfeeds you. Even if he’s a menace, he still wants to make sure you’re healthy and have a full belly to sleep with. 

He knows he eventually has to find a way to revert you to human form again. He busies himself with that when you’re sleeping. For the time being, when you’re awake, he wants to enjoy the time harassing his cute cat partner. 

He certainly doesn’t trust giving you to any of the Order members. Nor does he think any of them would agree to catsit in the first place. If he’s too busy, he opts to drop you off at Sakamoto’s Store, where Hana is more than elated to give you pets. Returns and sneaks up on you [if even he can surpass your now heightened cat senses] and picks you up, ignoring your irritated meows. The best way to get back at him is to scratch his clothing. 

Rating: 6/10. He gets you good food and makes sure you’re alright, but his relentless petting and teasing will drive you up the wall. 

UZUKI KEI —

The predicament is awkward for him. Kashima might know a way to get you back to human form, he thinks, and tries to prioritize that first.

He doesn’t want you to follow him around on his organization business. Sure, the chances of an enemy targeting a cat is slim to none, but there’s a chance for falling debris, or an accidental slash—… and the sight of him with a cute cat following him really diminishes the cold, calculating killer thing he has going on. 

For the time being, he leaves you with Haruma or Kumanomi, who is equally puzzled at the predicament but more than happy to follow his orders or have a cat companion for the day. Gaku seems like the type of person to forget you were there and abandon you, so she’s the only one to trust in this situation. 

He’s not even used to receiving or giving affection while you’re human, so he’s not sure how to approach it when you’re.. well.. a cat. You’ll have to approach him and somehow get it through that you want pets. Meow a lot or lean against his legs, and he eventually hesitantly rubs your head and chin. 

If you really want to follow him while he does his dirty work, he’ll make sure you follow closely. It’s a comical sight to see for the renowned Slur to have a cat following him like a lost lamb, but why does it matter when all the people who witnessed it are dead anyway?

After a bit, he tolerates it and gets used to the predicament. He doesn’t mind giving you a few pats if you approach him. He still wants the entire thing to be over as quickly as possible. He finds out that as cute as you are as a cat, he prefers you as a human much more. 

Rating: 7/10. Given time to at least adjust, he gets you what you need and gives nice pets.. he’s just mostly unsure what to do. 

GAKU —

The situation doesn’t bother him that much. Eventually, someone would find a way to return you to human form. For the time being, the largest loss suffered is someone to play video games with. 

Lets you sit on his shoulder like a Pikachu or on his lap to watch him play games instead. You fall asleep quite easily, and your claws dig into his skin when you try to get a closer look. He doesn’t care that much. You leave cat fur all over him by the time he’s returning to the others. Kumanomi scolds him, so he opts to play shirtless instead when you’re with him. In the end, Kumanomi is still annoyed, but now you have two things to look at when he games, so what is there to complain about?

He doesn’t discourage you following him around for his job. You just have to be careful. Stand too close while he’s fighting and someone’s body soars through the air and almost smashes you into a wall. 

The fright was huge, but at least he comforts you with some snacks. He’s not sure what to feed you. You don’t seem happy with the idea of cat food— you were still a human in there, after all. He settles for sharing some of his chips with you. 

He’s not very protective over you when you’re a cat. He lets you go for walks or leave the area to explore. So long you return by nightfall he’s content with being alone for the day. Internally he does find that the lack of your company feels strange, and quietly makes sure you’re nearby when you return. 

Rating: 8/10. A surprisingly good cat owner. Lets you do what you want or spend time with him. Just try to avoid tripping him up if you must follow him to a fight. 

HEISUKE MASHIMO —

He finds you so cute! He’s good with animals since he has Piisuke. 

He has trouble finding you stuff to eat. He goes to Sakamoto’s Store and shares a bun between the three of you. His friends from the store are certainly puzzled over the predicament, but it’s good that he has companions he can entrust with you. 

For the most part, he wants to keep you close to him. He carries Piisuke on one shoulder and tries to carry you on his other. However, carrying a bird on your shoulder is much easier than carrying a cat. When he gets excited or sprints somewhere, you have to dig your claws into his shoulder so you don’t fall. He only notices a few minutes later and apologizes with lots of head pats. 

The first day or so he gets you, he’s very worried about you and wants you to be with him at all times. Maybe it’s just something about your smaller, cuter form that he frets you’ll get lost somewhere. He’s no better, but at least he has Piisuke to help him, which you don’t!

You probably strayed off to explore or fell asleep under a thick bush and after an hour or so he’s panicking and bawling his guts out thinking you must have got hit by a car or taken by a stranger thinking you were a stray. Piisuke finds you rather quickly and you have to accompany him until he can finally tell himself that you’ll be fine and you need your own alone time too. 

His excitement is admittedly endearing. He’d want to show off to everyone how cute his partner was as a cat!

Rating: 8.5/10. Fun to be around, not too stressed out about the situation and good with pets. His enthusiasm with you can be a bit overwhelming. 

NATSUKI SEBA —

Treats you pretty well, actually.

When he first learns about your predicament, he’s just like “Oh, damn.” He’d work to find a way to revert whatever happened.. but isn’t against the idea of having you as a cat for a day or two. 

For the time being, he doesn’t mind having you beside him while he works on his projects at the JCC. So long he’s not doing too much heavy work, he enjoys the quiet company.

Gives you a few pets from time to time and is smart enough to consider what foods you’d want to and can eat. 

He doesn’t even mind if you leave too much fur on his clothing, whether it be from sleeping on his sweaters or on his lap. He thinks he can just brush it off afterwards. Turns out cat fur has a knack for getting stuck on everything possible. It takes a thorough wash just to get it off. 

Mafuyu judges him when he sees him with too many strands of thin cat fur all over him. While Natsuki’s not that bothered by the idea of being covered in fur, Mafuyu, who is cleaner, does, and at first avoids you like the plague. Your fur is left everywhere, and it ends up getting on him anyway, so he reluctantly gives in and pets you too. 

It can be pretty boring when he’s busy, so he doesn’t mind taking you to the weapons research laboratories too. If the school happens to have anything against pets, he tucks you into his suit and turns you invisible. Easy. So long nobody moves the suit off the ground or questions why there’s a lump on his chest. 

Rating: 9/10. He’s not a bad cat owner and has no qualms with you leaving for a few hours to explore or you getting fur on him. 

OSARAGI —

Thinks you’re too adorable internally! 

She quietly picks you up and goes about her job. She didn’t think you’d have too many problems with her job. Unfortunately, the crashing of stone and the quick movements she makes when fighting are much more startling with your heightened senses. Everything scrapes at your ears and nose. 

Once she finishes with one of her jobs, she looks over only to notice you sitting at the side, looking traumatized. She only stares blankly, wondering what could have gotten you like this. 

Osaragi decides the best way to calm you down is to buy you lots of snacks. She makes a pit stop at a convenience store and presents you an array of food to choose from. It’s rare for Osaragi to share her food without her own terms, so you should be grateful, even if you can only stomach one or two bites. 

Probably unintentionally babies you with a blank expression. It is canon that she’s rather childish at heart. Takes you everywhere like a little furry companion. Eventually, it does hit her that she’ll need you to return to human form sooner or later. She likes you as a human too, so she has nothing against the idea. 

Although I think she’d typically want you by her side, she does let you off her radar throughout the day so you can nap or have some time to yourself. 

Rating: 7.5/10. Treats you pretty well, but she should be more considerate of your cat senses or how terrifying it must feel to be carried while in a high stakes fight, debris and blood everywhere.

Shin

He's really obvious about the fact he like you, like reallyyy obvious

Puts extra effort into every little action he does so you think he's cool(he's really not),if you two met in the JCC he'd make sure his entire routine for group assassination missions is basically flawless.

Can't help being curious about what you thought and tunes into your thoughts and has to pretend his face isn't growing hotter by the second as he walks back in line, your inner thoughts of admiration replaying in his head.

Has at least one person(Mr Sakamoto) who he talks to endlessly about you, if he was still an assassin he'd have found it unbearable but now he sits blissfully with a ramen cup in hand as Shin talks away, when his mind wanders to young love and then eventually his wife, Shin snaps at him to pay attention.

Knows a lot about you (most without you knowing but sh), sometimes he just comes up to you and reminds you of something you're about to forget or a question too niche for him to ask and you're like "huh?" and he just blinks at you before going "huh-?"

Takes a deep breath and does that silly shake thing guys do when they're about to run when he's determined to talk to you, ends up folding anyway because he's geeked you asked to eat with him today.

Does the absolute most to keep you out of danger, at the JCC and at the shop, enemies seem to be popping up from anywhere now he and Sakamoto had dropped from the ranks and he didn't want you wrapped up in that.

Cannot flirt, he cannot and it's so embarassing, it's sweet when he tries though, the moment he sees you trying to hold your laugh he just gives up and holds his flushed face as you double over laughing. At least you said he was cute(internally.)

I can imagine you two in his or your room on a hot day, the windows wide open and the fan is blasting in your faces as you split twin popsicles, he thinks you look beautiful even as you sweat profusely and fan your face with your hand.

Nagumo

So annoying, to the point it's almost driving you mad, makes every excuse under the sun to come see you, be it day or night. People often ask how you deal with his unprecedented visits and you can only drag out a sigh and shrug.

Terrible gift giver but it's clear he tries, hands you a beaten up rubber duck and looks at you expectantly when you're not immediately ecstatic (cause what??). He'll explain like some expertise in the science of you that he saw you cooing and feeding ducks one day in the summer five years ago. You look down at the small colourful bird and decide it's actually quite cute, it can go in your random trinket box.

Naturally touchy guy, an arm around your shoulder is not a rare thing but one thing he does get nervous about is holding your hand. Yes he could hold you against his chest for ages as you read out something to him but the idea of holding your has his head in his hands as he squats on the floor.

Would love it if you liked his stupid jokes but would love it even more if you made it your goal to absolutely despite them. He finds the dynamic quite funny. Actively enjoys seeing the way your face crumples up when he cracks a joke at the absolute worst time, something dumb about grannies as the both of you are still panting and painted in blood in a care home of all places.

Not that jealous or possessive but will feel left out when he notices you're hanging out with someone a bit more than him. Will insert himself between you and this new person, mostly unaware he's acting on self preservation to keep himself in your sights.

Shishiba

He's so calm and collected all the time, the concept of him liking someone and that person possibly being you had never crossed your mind and it probably never will.

He likes to praise your work ethic a lot, "Looks good." , "You cleaned them up yourself?" You just nod back with a smile and he's convinced he made the boldest move in the books.

Would want to make absolute certain you like him before saying anything life threateningly risky. Pretty traditional with it, asks you out to eat after work and lets you choose the place. Insists he pays because he earns more than you but he just wanted to treat you. Has a list on his phone of the places you two enjoyed the most and pins them on Maps in case you want to go again.

The type to stare daggers into you while you're busy talking to someone else, when you're done talking he's still looking your way and waits for you to acknowledge him. Sometimes he announces himself, sometimes he'll just walk up beside you and hands your new assignment over which honestly startles you at times.

Wish he could've met you under different circumstances, wherever you're in his line of work or not. He'll never be truly satisfied with the way things are, constantly weighing the options.

For now he's enjoying watching you enjoy your favourite snacks and his heart warms when you offer him a generous bite.

Kashimo

Doesn't know what he's feeling towards you, the only thing he knew was his loyalty to Slur and you were gradually changing that one situation at a time.

It started when you'd apply ointments to where his body disconnected even though he was literally designed to be able to be broken and put back together with no effort. But you put in that effort, insisting he should let you and it'd be beneficial in the long wrong, he liked to believe you.

Often shows up to your cubicle at work just to say good morning then walk away, not even waiting for you to respond. You find it oddly charming and he just likes hearing your giggle as he leaves the office.

He believes you're also one of those people whose never done anything worth damning in their entire life. You're so kind and considerate of him he couldn't even fathom you doing anything wrong. Sometimes he hopes he's still capable of dying just so it could be alongside you, doesn't understand what that means fully though, it's just an ideal.

Likes it when you hold his arm, patting it slightly as you give some feedback on the latest mission. Doesn't understand the point in it but is far from complaining, he enjoys your attention and doting words.

Doesn't like to hold delicate things, like cats he really likes them but has a lingering fear he'd accidentally hurt the small thing. Instead he likes watching you hold these fragile things, pointing to them and you pick them up with a questioning look on your face, he makes a motion for you to scratch it's ears, he's pleased when you do.

(Y'all know like those slime stimboard monkey vids💀💀)

He considers you to also be delicate, so you'll never catch him making a move to touch you even though sometimes his bones ache to, he's fine with the brief touches you give him he couldn't ask for anything more.

Heisuke

He's also helplessly down bad for you, instead he tries his best to be helpful to you but you always seem to one up him in that area, especially when you let him crash at your place. Like a true angel.

Doesn't bother with pickup lines he's tried them out and they're not really his thing but sometimes he says something so heartmoving you pause all together. When he notices your reaction he's completely oblivious he's successfully shot his shot, "Pfft look at ya face."

Piisuke loves you because he does, it's like their brains are interlinked. The bird will catch small sight of you and immediately rush over to perch itself on your shoulder and snuggle its beak into your cheek, it hurts but how could you say no. Heisuke already knows that whenever his small partner did this you were likely around, so he's walking up to you bashfully and taking Piisuke back (he's secretly setting the two of you up.)

Showers you with compliments and praise likes it's nothing, words of affirmation is definitely one of his top love languages on hopefully getting you to like him back. But the moment you reciprocate, admiring his terrifyingly precise sniping skill he's so flushed and hot and fumbling his words he just has to slap a hand over his mouth. Needs a minute before he's chucking softly, his hands smoothly over the rough build of the artillery as he thanks you.

The forgetful sort but not when it comes to you, suddenly he remembers everything. Sometimes he comes to you to say something he needs to remember because it's so much easier when it's your face and voice he remembers reprimanding him.
