“Take care of me?” Takayuki echoes, back against the couch as he rubs his hands down his face. “It wasn’t that bad...”

But it’s always that bad when there’re kids involved. He might’ve solved the case, but hoping to find an eight year old often comes with the caveat that they’d be alive somehow.

WE’VE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF YAKUWA IDEAS LOL. but. you know even when they get along they still have the petty childish arguments, especially when they really start to ~trust each other, hence all the highlighting in friends and enemies. LOL. dangerous for each other / to others is really more in the sense that taabou can’t stay away from kuwana getting tangled up in pubsec’s shit and drags his friends in with him... though honestly, that AU where taabou ends up helping kuwana kill is still out there up in the air if we ever wanna do that... kuwana watching while his killer husband is his muscle... come ON

uhhhh soulmates aus would be fun so i italicised that. we already know they’re soulmates metaphorically so that’s no surprise HAHAH. i like to think the secret relationship happens maybe while kuwana’s still on a tight leash w/ nabe; taabou doesn’t tell even kaito that kuwana’s out there doing his job for kanagawa PD, and kuwana wasn’t supposed to visit anybody but he did it anyway, and they’re trying to find as many openings as possible to be close to each other... something something feeling taabou’s hands on him makes yuu kitakata feel real and seen... something something taabou will take a while before he stops worrying kuwana’s going to blow himself up one day... long distance is also bc my man kuwana goes off the grid for work often but yknow............

i think these idiots are mutually touch starved but taabou has an additional hunger that he’ll just never get over. unstoppable force (how much taabou wants him and isn’t afraid to say so in no uncertain terms) meets immoveable object (how much kuwana thinks he doesn’t deserve it, but how is he supposed to tell him no). i also think he would never pressure kuwana into something more normal but wouldnt be scared to bring it up either?? that he thinks about it sometimes???? and if kuwana tells him to shut up/stop then he’ll be quiet, because he knows innately when it is kuwana’s teasing and when he’s being serious

ALSO i’m remembering that one AU idea where one of taabou’s baito in his law school years is professional dom and he was with yuu kitakata but i don’t know if i talked about this with you or if i dreamt that i did LMFAO SO.

THIS IS A MESS OF A POST. BUT CONSIDERING WE ALREADY HAVE STUFF GOING WITH THEIR DYNAMIC I DON’T FEEL SO BAD ABOUT IT HAVING NO COHERENCE AT ALL TAKE IT AND GO LMAO BYE
