#makitori

feb 15

they looked so friendly in their class photo… (well, kiyoka did, at least. Lol) and even outside of that, I think they’d just naturally get along and become close due to similar interests and traits. Can you imagine?!!?there was so much of their past lives we never got to see

Makoto Tachibana and Aiichiro Nitori's playlist, because the cutiepies deserve it as well as the Makoai fandom. Collaboration with Rika who made the art cover (check her tumblr http://staycreepyrika.tumblr.com/ she's awesome).

immediately begins to shimmy when maroon 5 comes on : Ai would dance on anything and wouldn't be ashamed, not one bit. It makes him happy and cheer him up, when he dance his excited mood is contagious and he often manage to drag Makoto in this, even though his boyfriend is a lot less creative and expansive.

wakes the other up at 3am demanding pancakes : Ai would if he was really tired or sick and didn't have the energy to leave the bed but still needed his dose of sugar. Makoto would obviously oblige because after all it's rare and his boyfriend never take advantage of his kindness. Also in a mpreg AU, I bet Ai would eat a lot and anything he can find, Makoto would be so worried about his pregnancy and his comfort that he would do anything for him. Of course if Makoto asked this from Ai he would do it, but he never because letting Ai all by himself in the kitchen is a bit too risky. 

sends the other unsolicited nudes : unless they are drunk it's not very likely that any of them would do this. Maybe once or twice when Makoto goes to uni and Ai is still stuck at Samezuka, they would try to have sexphone or exchange nudes. But they would be so mortified and panicked at the idea of anybody finding them or sending it to the wrong person accidentally that they would quickly stop. 

brags about knowing karate even though they never made it past yellow belt : They're not the kind to really brag but maybe Ai to "intimidate" Makoto as they start to play fighting or if his boyfriend try to tease him. 

comes to a complete halt outside bakeries/candy shops : Makoto, he have a terrible sweet tooth and would like to try every single pastry he can find. In front of a bakery he look like a kid and Ai find it endearing so he yield and let him go in to buy something.

blows sarcastic kisses after doing ridiculous shit : when they blow kisses it's never sarcastic an always discreet. But maybe Makoto as he notice Ai devoring his shirtless body with his eyes. 

killed the guy (also, which hid the body) : They accidentally killed the guy while trying to save him and then messily hide the body while panicking and sobbing rivers

wears the least clothing around the house : Makoto is a bit too prudish even around his boyfriend so mostly Ai ? He likes to have his legs uncovered so often wear shorts or undies. And since he's sensitive to heat he would surely only wear the undies in summer while Makoto just stay shirtless. It leads to lot of sexual tension and hot rushed sex. With the fan on or under a cold shower of course. 

Who has the most nightmares ? Ai. Because he think a lot about a lot of things and it bother him even in his sleep. All his numerous worries appear in his dreams and since he's also super creative his dreams are really, really messy and rich (I'm in psychology motherfucker, I know what kind of dreams a worried + creative person can have). Makoto have nightmare after seeing scary movies or living a scary experience and it's always related to the source of his fear.

Who steal the blanket ? Ai. Ai love to make a warm nest of cover around him while sleeping and Makoto always have to sneak in this nest when he wake up in the middle of the night.

Who pays for the food the most when they go out ? They like to take turn, it's the one who programmed the dinner and invited the other who pay so it's more fair. But since Ai's family is wealthier than Makoto's one and that Mako have siblings and so have to share some of his money with them, Ai pay a bit more often than him.

Do they enjoy dancing ? Ai is a bit self-conscious and don't want to look inexperienced and Makoto is really clumsy so they don't dance often. But the last school festival before Makoto left for university there was this big bal and it seemed really romantic and all so Ai decided to learn to dance with Rin (who learnt when he was in Australia because Lori loved to dance and always took him as her Partner) so he could dance with Makoto without ridiculizing himself. Unfortunately Makoto still walked on his feet once or twice but it was really funny for the both of them. So they decided to practice together and now they dance casually, without caring one bit about what other think about them. Though they prefer slow and romantic easy dance.

Do they ever trade clothes ? It's quite hard for Makoto to fit in Ai's clothes, the only thing he can borrow is this gigantic scarf Ai made himself. It's huge, purple, fluffy and deliciously warm. As for Ai, he love to steal Mako's clothes to get comfortable at house. He also borrow his sweater and Makoto love how too big for him they are, he find it incredibly cute and arousing to see Ai in his clothes. Of course Ai noticed and once or twice wear them outside, just to see Makoto melt in a puddle of embarassment.

Do they ever go swimming together ? ....ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME THE ANIME IS ABOUT SWIMMING SO YES THEY DO !...Hum...But outside practice yes they like to swim in the ocean, Ai helping Makoto to relax and forget his phobia. Ah and they like midnight bath too, Ai sometimes steal Samezuka's pool keys and they have a romantic nightly date.

Do they ever cook together ? Ai asked Makoto to teach him some recipes since he's novice in cooking. So yes they do and it often end up with Ai being incredibly flustered because Makoto is pressed against his back to supervise him and he can feel his breath on his nape and his large hand grab his own to guide him and his scent, and his voice in his ear and...and...And once the pressure was so great that Ai threw an egg at him, telling him to "stop teasing him so much and being so irresistible you egghead !"

Do they enjoy a good round of thruth or dare ? While they enjoy playing and hanging out with their friends, they know it's extremely risky to play truth or dare with Nagisa and Momotarou. They're both too nice with the other player (even if Makoto's manipulative side resurface from time to time when he's allowed to submit someone to truth) and too sensible and flustered when the other give them dare or truth. Nagisa often ask trash and intimate question to them both and Momotarou dare them to do embarassing stuff. Once they teamed up to annoy the couple and dared Ai to kiss Rin. Makoto know Ai had a slight crush on him before and is particulary jealous of Rin, so when Ai submitted and kissed Rin (on the cheek) he stormed out (booze helped the dramatic reaction) and stay pissed off at everyone until the morning after. Since then they refuse to play anymore.

Do they enjoy pillow fights ? A lot, a pillow fight is almost inevitable when they make a little party with their friends and spend the night at Haruka's house. But since Ai is a bit childish and playful, it happen that he randomly throw a pillow at Makoto. Especially when this one study for too long and don't even hear Ai when he call him for dinner or something. It's a good way to make him jump out of his cloud of thought and provoke him. When Makoto receive a pillow and see Ai muffling a laugh in front of his surprised expression he can't help but respond to the war declaration. It always end up with one of them thrown on the bed, the other straddling him and trying to placate a pillow on his face. But in the end they cuddle in bed and Makoto is a lot more relaxed.

Do they give each other nickname ? Well usually they call each other Ai and Mako. Ai like to tease and call him Mamakoto when he's fussing over him or someone or also "my big bear/beast". In return Makoto like to call him "baby seal" since Nagisa declared Ai's animal was a seal, despise Ai prefering ducks, and "duck". Beside this they use all the cheesy panel : babe, love, sunshine, sweetie...They love to use those.

Have they ever gone skinny dipping ? Yep. More than once. Why do you think Ai steal the pool's keys at night ? And it always end up with sloppy make-out session in the pool. Actually it began when Ai asked Makoto to train him a bit and decided to try this trick that Nagisa whispered to him. It was super effective...

What do they like when going out for food ? Ai like to try a lot of different food and way to cook. They often change of restaurant. Makoto love to go on some coffee and try pastries, he have a really sweet tooth. Of course Ai doesn't mind indulging him and often going in those kind of shop. When they order food over the phone they take something like pizza or sushi or yakitori.

What movies do they enjoy watching most ? They're both really into action/adventure movies as well as fantastic/science-fiction. Ai like discovering new universe and is really imaginative and Makoto like movies with action and humor. But they also watch some documentaries from time to time, especially the one on animals or society problems since they're also quite intelligent and interested by culture stuff. And they use to watch animes every day

Do they have any favorite food places ? Like I said they tend to change often because Ai's tastebuds need to be stimulated. But Makoto especially love this little bakery/pastry shop near their house so they go here often.

Favorite food ? If I remind correctly Makoto love sweets, especially chocolate. Ai love them as well but have way more open tastes and quite like spicy cooking.

Favorite ice-cream ? Chocolate for Makoto, Vanilla for Ai. Perfect combo.

How was their first meeting ? The first time they really talked to each other was when Rin was invited to an afternoon on the beach with the Iwatobi club. Since Ai was a bit down and anxious (exam period or something) Rin and Seijuro (who invited himself) dragged him with them. Ai and Makoto eventually talked to each other when Rin and Haruka competited over something and they disagreed on who had won the competition (I remember there was something like this in one drama cd, Mako and Ai were bickering over dumb Rinharu competition). After this they were both a bit annoyed with each other and sulked. But Mamakoto motherly instinct won when he saw that Ai forgot his sunscreen and was turning red. He even proposed to rub his back with it and after this they apologized to each other (quite embarassed now that they realized how dumb they were) and spoke quietly until the two group parted.

Who kissed who first ? Ai. They both really wanted to kiss the other and confess but Makoto took too long and Ai cracked up one day. They were at some summer festival, the mood was so romantic it was sickening (walk under the blossoming trees at night or some shit), they were even holding hands (because Makoto is a bit scared in the darkness) and glanced at each other nervously. Makoto suddenly leaned down but then Nagisa called them from somewhere and Makoto seemed to realize what he was about to do. He tried to back up but Ai was like "no freaking way in hell I waited too long for this shit, no back up now mister" and dragged him down before kissing the life out of him. After this he was really flustered and embarassed, even more when Nagisa found them and catcalled them.

Who made the first move ? If the first move as in "who showed first he was interested" I would say none and both. They both slowly grew up to love each other and even if they didn't say anything they knew there was something between them. They were already being touchy and adorable with each other so when they finally understood that they were both interested in more than friendship their attitude didn't change much. They finally decided their relationship was official when one night Nagisa stole Makoto phone to send "do you want to go out with me ?" and Ai answered "OMG YES !" and then was mortified when he discovered it wasn't Mako who sent this. But eventually Makoto really asked him out (all timid and sheepish even if he knew what Ai would say) and Ai said yes again but a hell less loudly.

What's the relationship like ? Sweet. Terribly, horribly, disgustingly sweet. They're always tender with each other, always taking care and making sure all is right, always smiling and cuddling when they're together, always making up pet names, always bickering over dumb things but then apologizing profusely and making up quickly, always getting excited over the same ridiculous things, always being super embarassed when someone tease them, always so done with their team and kindly mocking their friends, always being a fucking adorkable sweet couple. The only flaw would be that they both lack confidence and always need to be reassured, always need the other to tell them they're good enough, always wonder why the other choose them. But they comfort their lover about this with lot of sweet terrible kisses and love.

What do they like most about each other ? Makoto love Ai adorkableness. Like every weird habit, every ridiculous reaction, he loves it. It's like his drug, his cute dorky drug. He also love how determined he can be about anything, he never give up on something important to him and he's so brave even if he's sometimes not strong enough. Ai love how Makoto is a big softie. At first he was a bit intimidated by the mountain of muscles but now he know all the sweetness hidden inside. He love how Makoto can be strong and reliable and also scarred of the most ridiculous thing and so shy when teased. He love how caring he is with everyone even if sometimes people doesn't deserve it.

What are the dates like ? They think they're quite discreet because they're not as loud as Nagisa and Rei or bickering as Haru and Rin but in fact people notice them way more. Because without realizing it they're always keeping skin contact, they're always giving the other the most tender smile, they always show so much sweetness through their words and acts. When they share a drink, a snack, a dinner they always end up making the other taste their dish or drink from their own fork/spoon/glass which is quite shocking in japan if I recall correctly (sorry if it's not true but I think japanese don't like to share their cutlery). When they go to movies they always end up completely glued and tangled, sometimes Ai even climb a bit on Mako's lap. When they go for walk they always hold hands while talking and laughing. When they spend an afternoon at the beach Makoto always end up doing cliché things like lifting Ai in his arms in the water or coming out of water and lying his cold body on top of Ai's warm one to produce a cute surprised reaction. Brief they're always terribly sweet and in their own bubble of happiness, not even noticing how everyone always notice them.

What was their most romantic date ? A picnic on the hill above the sea at night on the Iwatobi's summer festival. They were eaten alive by mosquitoes and they struggled to find a nice quiet place and Ai's kimono almost fell apart (thanks to Nagisa and for Makoto greatest hidden shameful pleasure...) but they ended up cuddling an lying together while the cheap village fireworks were shot.

Who cleans the most ? Well both, they don't like dirty places, Ai only tend to let his mess here and there. But never things like food or dirty clothes.

Who is the messiest ? See above.

Who's most clingy ? Both. Both are super clingy. Like the moment they're in the same room they glue to each other and never stop making contact unless they're forced to. Makoto is particulary clingy when scared and Ai doesn't really mind having his boyfriend hiding in his back, his arms thrown around his shoulders.

Who is most motherly ? Mamakoto, why do you even ask ? Ai is caring but not in this kind of motherly way. Mamakoto always make sure his hatchlings are well fed and covered and patched up and warm and happy and he can't stop worrying about their well-being.

Who's the most possessive ? It's quite a hard one...They're both quite not confident so they don't like seeing their boyfriend interested by someone else. But they don't want to act possessive and annoying either so they never say anything even when someone take their bf whole attention. But inside they are as much possesive as the other. Even if they keep it inside, it show on their face. For example once one girl was flirting openly with Makoto and Ai was standing here, doing nothing, just waiting for Makoto to refuse the girl advances. But the upset expression on his face totally betrayed him and everybody noticed how hard it was for him not to jump on Makoto and scream "he's mine back off fake hoe !" And when guys hit on Ai, Makoto stay a bit aside, preferably behind Ai for a more dramatic dimension, and you can see on his face all the hate and menace in the world hidden in a tense fake smile and generally the guys back off all pale face and trembling hands

Who gets jealous easiest ? See above for how they deal with jealousy and how possessive they are. But about which one become jealous more easily it's definitely Makoto. Ai is quite innocent and doesn't always notice when people are being flirty and not friendly. But Mako know better and doesn't trust any guys who approach Ai too close, even his friends sometimes. One day he almost pushed Rin in the pool because this one pinched Ai's waist saying that he lost some weight.

Who has the best table manners ? They were both raised just fine thank you. Ai is always really scared of giving a bad impression and Makoto is the very picture of the well-mannered gentleman. Only with their friends they sometimes eat with their hands or let some juice or sauce slid down their chin (even if Ai always lick Mako's one instinctively...).

Who was the one to propose ? Makoto. Because Ai did all the first steps in their relationship and he wanted to finally show some guts and do something really risky and romantic. But he messed up his proposal anyway and threw the classy romantic part through the window. Ai didn't mind actually, the minute Makoto accidentally let the ring fall out of his pocket he jumped on him and gave him a "yes" make-out session

Who stressed more over the wedding planning ? Both, but Ai was more excited and busy taking care of everything while Makoto tried to play it cool but was sweating with anxiousness. He already messed up the proposal, what if he messed up the wedding too ?

Who decorated the house ? Ai was the more determined and excited to do it but Makoto participated too. If he hadn't they would have ended up with more furniture that they could fit in the house. But Ai tried his best to make the house comfy and warm and colored while Makoto took care of all the technical aspect

Who does the cooking ? Makoto is used to since he have a big family with younger siblings, he's used to help his mother and he's good at cooking. But Ai love to learn and try his best to cook from time to time, even if it end up with lot of burns and an extremely messy kitchen

Who is more organized ? Makoto. No hesitation. As for house organization if he let Ai deal with it there would be such a mess that they would never see the color of their floor. 

Who's the cuddler ? They both are big cuddles whore. When Makoto come home from classes or work and Nitori is here, usually on the couch working on some drawings and designs (cause Ai is a designer for anime/manga/game/magazine in my future headcanon), he let himself fall on it, head landing on Ai's knees. Then Ai proceed to pamper him and drown him in cuddles. Ai ask for cuddles in any occasion, he just like to touch Makoto and share a tender embrace, he love to fall asleep cuddled together or watch tv in Mako's arms

Who's the big spoon/little spoon ? Makoto for obvious height reasons. But sometimes they move in their sleep and Mako wake up with a koala glued to his back

What's their favorite non-sexual activity ? Actually they love to play games (video or board games) and spend a good amount of time competiting over one everyday. They also like to go for walk together and feed the stray cats.

Who come home drunk at 3AM ? None of them. Or both of them if they actually went out with their friends. Makoto is a really light weight and Ai not (weirdly) so Makoto quickly get drunk and Ai is always trapped between Nagisa and Momo who try every kind of alcohol on him to see how much he can take. When they both come back home drunk they either end up sleeping on top of each other fully dressed, either begin a heavy sloppy make-out session in the hall.

Who kill the spiders ? Makoto doesn't really like spiders but don't want to kill any living being. Ai doesn't mind them and release them outside so Makoto will relax. They only killed one once but it was because it fell on them as they were doing the do in the shower.

Who falls asleep first ? It depends. If Makoto is really stuck in a novel he can stay awake long after Ai (who can fall asleep even with lights on), until this one awake and turn off the light while mumbling to Makoto to go to sleep. If Ai have some work to finish he can't go to bed before it's perfectly perfect (he's really passionate in his work and can't neglect it even not a bit), even if he work past midnight. In this case Makoto will wake up at some point, go to the living-room, take the papers off of Ai's hands, drag his ass to bed and trap him under him so he won't flee and stay awake any longer
