Uramichi -

One of his first impressions of you was how easily drunk you were.

You were a new hire, and the opportunity to get drinks hadn't come up yet. However, at the mandatory company get together Derekida lowkey threatened upon his workers to arrive at, he could already tell.

You were really pretty, anyone with eyes knew that. Uramichi thought hed be stupid not to know you were beautiful. But a thought hed never had before appeared in his mind as he looked down at you. You were stumbling around, cheeks flushed and turned up in a wide, pure smile, he honestly thought you were cute.

It made sense now, of course you were cute. But you had this almost mysterious personality, maybe it was a mix of you being a new face and Uramichi's anxiety, but seeing you in this light made the possibility of getting to know you brighter.

Uramichi, partly confused by his own feelings, was surprised when he looked forward to and started suggesting after work drinks.

Multiple, probably a lethal amount in total, of drinks were downed by urahara, utano, and none other than you.

He was so ready to observe your carefree actions. Work was stressful, it was calculated. You're there to do one job, do it right, and if you can manage to do it quick it may be just a little easier. You don't have the time to truly be as much of yourself as you can outside.

But instead, he felt Usaharas grating, irritating, agonizing voice right in his ear. He could smell the beer from his breath as he said so casually, with a sloppily slung arm across his shoulders,

"So, Uramichi ~ You've been the adamant one for post work drinks since (you) has come around. Whats with thaat ? Huh Uramichi ?"

He tried to tell him off, but he kept sluring,

"Huh ? Huh ? Huuuuh ?"

With a solid punch to his right cheek, Uramichi focused his attention away from the man childs whines and cries and back to you.

Your eyes were clearly set on the situation, noticing uramichi look back, you accidentally caught his eyes for a brief moment while trying to avoid being caught staring in on the conversation. You quickly looked away and brought another beer down.

You felt yourself get warmer, the atmosphere and sounds buzz in your head while your eyes dragged over to Utano.

She was once again complaining about her boyfriend, how every sunday, on her one off day, shed go support his shows, and even so he wouldnt man up and put a ring on her finger. It was a rough listen. Genuinely your idea of hell, failed comedian boyfriend of five years is ROUGH.

It just got worse when she suddenly turnt to you, full throttle on interrogating you.

"What about you ?!" She slurred, however, to you, slurred was basically normal for the pace the world seemed to be at. Everything was so dizzy, and you felt so hot under winter's sharp bite.

"Um.. no.. I dont have a boyfriend or anything." Usually you were more confident, but the spark under your skin and glimpse of Uramichi watching you made you freeze.

"Whaaat ? Seriously ? You've gotta be atleast talking to someone or interested, a person like you isnt just alone !"

Before you could defend yourself, Uramichi loudly coughed. His eyes went dark, a telltale way that even you already knew meant he was about to go on a depressive dialogue.

"Noww, just because someone isnt devoted to their love life doesnt make them hopeless !" His eyes narrowed, like a snake ready to suffocate it's prey. "Some of us just dont have the time or havent thought that much about it, Utano."

She sighed, forgetting how much of a loser Uramichi could actually be. "Fineee, whatever, all im saying is they're too fine for no one to be interested in them."

Uramichi just grinned while trying not to burst a blood vessel. "Yea Uramichi~" Usahara seemed to have regained consciousness. "Better be quick or she'll be snat-" And there was about another twenty minutes of no Usao-Kun.

You just smiled, and let your head fall against Utanos shoulder. "Mmmm so tired." She looked down at you genuinely ready to help,

"Ready to go home ?"

Your eyes slowly traveled across Uramichi. He looked great in casual clothing, his well trained body undeniably catching the attention of more people than you. Usano wasn't wrong, but you decided that night everyone was underestimating Uramichi Omota.

"No." Your eyes bore straight into Uramichi's, even though you were talking to Utano. "What about you, Uramichi ? Are you dating anyone ?"

Apparently just the words "Uramichi" and "Dating" together worked as a sleeper agent on Usahara, his blonde dyed hair immediately bouncing up and tilting back to make room for his large and loud laugh.

He wheezed, whimpered, choked and coughed before getting the memo that he was the only one laughing. "..ah."

But before Uramichi had the chance to properly concuss the man, you smiled back at him. "Don't worry. It doesn't make you hopeless." Your words were slurred, your eyesight sloppy, cheeks flushed and hair messy. But he swore, you looked like an angel, and he could hear the pure and genuine intent behind your words.

Oh.

He couldn't wait to see you when you weren't wasted. But he definitely wouldn't mind seeing you like this again either.

Kumatani -

He likes drinking but rarely ever gets drunk, or doesnt show it if he is.

You on the other hand, LOVE drinking, and always get drunk.

Hes usually good with others alcohol, I mean, the way he acts with Iketeru is just adorable.

Issue is.. you're much more aware than Iketeru, and actively are seeking alcohol.

And being friends long enough, he eventually learned the easiest control with you was damage control.

Routinely, he ordered your usual for you, (saw a bartender flirt with you once and it lowk traumatized him) and stayed with you throughout the night to make sure you didnt buss it down at the company party.

but everytime, you'd drink a bit too much, and cling to him tighter, or ask him to stay with you longer. his heart dropped everytime, his restraint getting thinner everytime you held him and looked up at him like he wasnt just your best friend.

so everytime, hed drink down shot after shot, even though it might as well have just disappeared after it went down his throat. But still, if he looked at you for too long, he felt a strange intoxication rise from his chest to his ears. so, for now, looking at the bottom of the shot glass would be okay.

Usahara -

If you took a shot for everytime he said "i wish i was funny" while drunk, youd still probably wouldnt be drink.

But, he would have already draken another two beers, and would be just all the more fucked up.

Really hes his own worst enemy. Drunkenly confessed to you in college, didnt remember in the morning. Now years later at Together with Maman, he still asks you out every drinking night after a few beers.

Kumatani and Uramichi think hes not as drunk as he acts when he asks you but whos to say.

Way too clingy. Fell asleep on your thighs at Kumatanis and got kicked out. Broke boyfriend hug in public bars 💔

Utano -

I mean, after she complains about her boyfriend so much.. of course you wonder if you could do better

Honestly, the question wasnt if you could, it was if she would let you. The bar is in hell, literally just dont be unfunny and broke. Buy that girl a ring !!

It started when she once clung to your arm and cried, "You would be a better partner !! I should just marry you instead !!"

Everyone kinda just blinked. No one on the show was emotionally stable but this is something new for sure.

You hummed, praying there wasnt any blush on your face. She was just drunk and.. probably didnt mean it. But still.. its a cute thought. You rubbed her back lightly, soothing her from her mood swing. "Sure."

Bonus : Iketeru -

Iketeru never drinks. Why ? 🍙

I mean, as long as you arent a crazy violent drunk then whats wrong with being drunk ? ^_^.. all the time

But honestly, doesnt really mind if you have heavy drinking habits. As long as he doesnt have to, why would he care ? Half of the time hes 🍙 anyway

Uramichi

you met Uramichi when he came into the digital planning department after being sent to invite you to a work party.

You were talking (arguing) with Kikaku about some new toy design when he walks in, though the conversation continues

Uramichi is surprised when you get Kikaku to retreat and stop his yelling. Uramichi is intimidated by you, and yet he finds himself drawn to you at the same time

After talking to you he realizes you’re actually a very kind person. You just don’t take Kikaku’s shit and he respects you for it

He seeks you out at the work party and spends the entire evening talking to you. You’re so drawn to each other and find it super easy to have a conversation last hours and you were both sad when the party comes to an end

He surprises himself when the words “would you like to get dinner sometime” leave his mouth. But he’s even more surprised when you say yes. The rest is history

Despite what some may think, he’s not great at communication.

He’s been so used to handling his own problems that it doesn’t really occur to him that he should talk them through with you.

But, all you have to do is bring it up once for him to realize his mistake and correct it. It’s a bad habit, and it’ll take some time to break it, but he does his best because he wants to be the best for you.

Just because you’re dating doesn’t mean his depressive episodes will go away. He’ll have his days when all he wants to do is curl into bed and hide away from the world.

On these days, be patient with him. Give him his space but remind him that you will always be there for him

He’s for sure very playful with you. With other’s, he often comes off as quiet and closed off. But around you, he’s smiling, laughing, actually enjoying himself.

He’s a bit touch starved. Between his childhood and his unsuccessful love life up to this point, he’s never received much physical affection.

Because of this, he’s attached to your hip almost constantly. He’s always touching you in some way, whether it be his arms wrapped around your waist or your pinkies interlocked.

He’s not very big on pda though. He much prefers to leave his physical affection at the house. unless no one’s looking lol

You take a lot of evening walks. The quiet street, the cool night air, and his warm hand wrapped around yours. Yep, those are your favorite.

He’s the type that enjoys cuddling on the couch. Whether you’re watching a movie or sitting in silence, he doesn’t care. he’s with you, that’s all that he needs.

Mitsuo

You met him at the store when buying cat food

You were mumbling to yourself, trying to decide if you should get chicken or shrimp when Mitsuo walks up beside you to pick something up

He overheard you talking to yourself and ended up suggesting a food brand, which ultimately led you to talk about your new cat and show him pictures, which he thoroughly enjoyed

After that, you would bump into each other in the pet section every now and then until one day he just blatantly asks you out

He loves to take you fishing. Even though he’s the one who puts the bait on the hook and takes the fish off cause it grosses you out

No one does emotional support like Mitsuo. Anytime you’re upset about something, he’s right there beside you with his arsenal of things that he knows will make you feel better

There is absolutely no hiding your feelings from him. He’s perceptive, and when your mood shifts even a little, he notices. And there’s no point in lying or brushing it off. He knows, and you know he knows

He’s actually amazing at communication. He knows when to speak and when to let things be. And while he typically doesn’t speak on things, it’s different with your relationship. He knows how crucial it is and he doesn’t disregard it.

He’s mild when it comes to physical affection. He likes to cuddle, but it if starts to get too hot, he’s the first to untangle himself from you lol

When he makes out with you though? whew

He doesn’t mind pda, but he’s not super obvious about it. he’ll hold your hand around others just fine. but expect him to steal kisses the moment people look away

Despite being a usually quiet and reserved person, he’s very open around you, especially in private

You are required to watch every man-eating salmon movie at least once lol

Speaking of man-eating salmon, it makes him laugh. It’s one of the few things that makes him genuinely chuckle like a goofball. His laugh sounds like heaven

You two definitely start fostering cats. It accidentally started with 1, and then it turned into 3, and then into 5

You’ll go back and forth on the pros and cons of possible adopters, which will sometimes turn into silly, unserious arguments lol
