Home Headcanons
A/N: Happy VERRRRRYYYYY Late Birthday to Amy @animeomegas. NGL I had ideas when you sent me your request but then I sat down to write them out and they all abandoned me. But I made you collages that fit the vibe I am going for to make up for it. Request: "Could you maybe pick a few Naruto Omegas and describe how you see their home with alpha? Like size, interior design style, amenities, any details that you always imagine for them. I love reading about how people design spaces for fictional characters. Just bullet points, no prose." Warnings: mentions of abuse, poverty, death
Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto's home evolves the longer he is with his Alpha. The very beginning of moving in together opens Naruto up to a new life he hadn't been exposed to - one outside of poverty. He, even without his Alpha, is comfortable but he didn't realize that comfortability meant he no longer had to 1) hoard possessions, 2) get used to going without, and 3) use things until they were beyond fixing. Everything Naruto brought into the home was decades old, in disrepair, and beyond saving and it took months before he could part with any of it in favor of getting new items - something he never had before.
Once Naruto overcomes some of his poverty trauma, the home becomes a mix-match of things that do not work but somehow do. You both buy things that you like and figure out how to make it work. He wants his home to be A HOME and not something from a magazine cover. He wants it lived in, where everything sparks joy. He also likes having the ability to change things as he likes and still prefers DIY over buying new.
The home is always a little messy but he keeps his home clean because he is used to taking care of what he has so nothing breaks or tears. There is a ball of laundry on the floor but there are no disgusting dishes hiding under the bed type shit.
You decide to buy a medium-sized home with an emphasis on bedrooms because you had discussions of children. Naruto really wanted a big house in the beginning but whenyou both toured one, he realized just how...disconnected everything felt. Even the open concept plan were too spacious. It made him feel like everyone would be too far away even if he could physically see him.
Loves colorblock accents on the walls and on decor items. Also loves weird looking furniture or furniture that is made of things people normally dont make furniture with. (Think - a side table made using records and metal dowels or old glasswear used as a chandelier)
Naruto also gets a lot of stuff as gifts and souvenors. He's made so many friends in different places that when he travels, he always comes home with something reflective of his destination. The house is maximalist not because of you spending money (even though you both like to buy cool things) but because he gets a lot of presents. This reflects...all over the house. You have a weird stature watching you poop now. Congrats.
He has a nook of your home that is dedicated to all his old things. He has some sentimental items from back when he had very little that he doesn't want to get rid of but they are bare bones. He also keeps mementos of your relationship (pre-moving in together) there.
Ceiling hammock. That is all.
Absolutely hates blinds (the white ones that go up and down) and yes, it is because he always gets them wonky or tangled. He wanted to replace all the doors with bead strands because they were shiny but you veto-d that with a quickness.
The nursery is the only room in the house that is somewhat less chaotic looking. There are lots of colors but they are softer and everything is a lot more purposeful. Naruto got a lot of advice from other parents about what he should do there and he is very strict about keeping it less chaotic.
Neji Hyuuga
Clean girl aesthetic but home edition. Clean lines. No overpowering bright colors. Open concept. Neutral. Kind of boring but its very calming and incredibly organized. He wants all the hard furniture - tables, dressers, cupboards, cabinets, etc to be sturdy and all the soft furniture - couches, chairs, rugs, etc - to be the softest and comfiest things you've ever felt.
He does not want to buy things and have to replace them so you both budget to get the best top quality items that last 30 years. He is infinitely grateful that his mate let him take over the majority of the decorating because he goes nuts when it clicks that 'oh, all of this new life is mine. I have autonomy and control.'
Neji is fanatical about the way his bedroom looks and feels. Due to years of trauma, he has his bed hidden surrounded by moveable walls that he can close and open at will (or with chakra.) Before kids, he only has all the walls closed. After kids, he keeps the wall closest to the door open so they can see him and he can see them.
The only things he lets go of are his pup's bedrooms and their bathroom. He had to come to terms with the fact that they will grow into their own people with their own tastes and they deserve what he never got as a kid - a personalized space thats just for them. As long as they keep it clean, he's fine. (He 100% gets excited when they want him to go shopping with them because while it may not be to his taste, he is great with decorating and matching their growing tastes)
You surprise him with a mini jacuzza bath built off the master bathroom when he went away for a mission for two months and he wants you to fuck him in it like twice a week. (Lives for the 'prince being bathed by their servant' roleplay). He didn't know he wanted one until he got it and its his favorite part of the house XD
A slut for furniture with compartments and small cozy nooks.
Hates clear tiny, peek-a-boo windows. If they are frosted, its fine. He wants floor to ceiling windows whenever and wherever possible. Loves the natural light they let in.
Takes pride in the outside of the home as much as the inside and obsesses over his pond. He likes to mediate and practice new jutsu there.
Loves a home renovation project so his home started off as a one bedroom apartment-type building because he and his Alpha were broke-broke when they moved in together and it has expanded into a fucking manor. Man said "I deserve luxury" and his Alpha said, "Yes my love."
Overall, his home is a reflection of his freedom to choose but also a reflection of his need for stability. It is a home that started from nothing and was given life by love, just like him.
Chouji Akimichi
His home is on Akimichi Clan land, a wedding gift from the clan to Chouji. The original plan was for you and Chouji to live in your apartment for another year after the wedding to save money to buy your own plot on clan land and build a home but the clan surprised you with the home a few months before the wedding. You did not tell Chouji because you had your own wedding gift to add onto it in mind.
Like most Akimichi, his kitchen and pantry are a focal point in his home. He was very specific in what he wanted and what he needed when you were discussing your furture home. The kitchen is large and spacious so he had the space to cook. The pantry is more of a walk-in closet than anything because Chouji loves to collect different ingredients from around the world and he needs the space.
The kitchen leads out to the backyard, where you designed and built a huge barbaque and cook-out area as his wedding gift. When the clan told you about the house, you began your own construction when the kitchen was done. You made sure to give it a different vibe from the inside. Chouji in the kitchen is different than Chouji on the BBQ and no, you will not elaborate.
Everything in the home is reinforced to hold an Akimichi. They are a big people. A dense people. A people who can and will make themselves bigger, sometimes just for shits and giggles when they have a little too much to drink. Their homes need to fit them. There is nothing short of a catastrophic event that is going to take the house down.
Chouji's nest area is different than his shared bedroom with you. The nest is in its own room and is shaped similarly to his pup's/pups' beds, except bigger. Its a two-level bed with stairs, curved and lined with dense stuffing and sturdy cushions on both 'floors'. The bottom area has shelves that store his heat aids and supplies. The top area is used mainly for storing back up blankets, pillows, and sheets since his heats get messy.
The pup's/pups' room - in the nursery and childhood years - start as being very whimsical in design. The beds are built into the wall and act as a sleeping space and a small play area. If any of the pups are Omegas, it also makes for a great 'first nest' area, with curved areas and hidden nooks. The rooms are also filled with all sorts of learning toys alongside several numerous large plushies.
Speaking of pup rooms, they have their own section of the house. There is a hallway that leads from the main room that lead just to bedroom doors. Chouji is Oma-shaped and he wanted at least three pups. Its in the opposite direction of your master bedroom and Chouji's nest room -for obvious reasons.
Every room has some color in it but not a lot. He likes his spaces to be calming - like Neji - but still a little colorful - like Naruto. The bathrooms are basic because he doesn't see why they need to be decorated. People aren't hanging out in there. They are in there to shit, shower, shave so why???
Fucking hates subway tiles - the white and black ones. You had to redo one of your bathrooms after a pipe burst and when the contractor put them on the table, Chouji immediately shoved them back into his bag with prejudice. He also hates mirrored surfaces - especially if they distort the reflection.
There are an abundance of random snack hidey-holes fucking everywhere. Behind paintings, in the storage ottomans and baskets, under beds, between cushions, in at least one drawer in every room. Snacks everywhere. Its very convienent.
Kankuro
The homes in Sunagakure are very different than in Konohagakure - in that they are closer together, rounder, and dusty as hell. Beehive looking ass buildings. They also look like they have hallways that link buildings together. It also looks like the housing options are either condos, duplexes, or apartments. No actual independant standing homes. As such, Kankuro and you live in a three-ish story condo.
Because you live in the desert that has sandstorms, there are not many windows. Maybe one on each floor. Not a whole lot of natural light coming in. This works well because the desert is hot and the less sun inside, the cooler the inside stays. The walls are also very curved - which might just be a stylistic choice but who knows?
The condo is very open but yet it gives the feeling of it being underground. You can see the first floor from the second floor and vice versa. There is a staircase on one side that connects the two floors. The third floor is technically an attic but it was pretty big and - when you renovated it - became a liveable, useable area. This is where you banished Kankuro's puppets to.
You were not about to have Kankuro's puppet's everywhere in your new home. You saw the state of his apartment - with random ass body parts everywhere - and decided that you were going to turn the attic into his workshop. Kankuro protested until he saw what you had done and proceeded to immediately make it the creepiest place you've ever been but hey, at least there aren't eyeballs sitting on the coffee table.
Kankuro does not give a fuck about decorating. As long as every room has the basics, he does not care. His home before you was a mixmatch of furniture that he was given from random people. The only thing he is particular on is his puppet work station. You cannot get him to choose anything to save your life and he will complain every time he sees you eyeing the homes and garden section of the store.
Because the home is technically just a building mostly made of solid earth, much of it is just one solid piece that has nooks and crannys carved into it. The bathroom is no exception. Everything is either straight lines or curved edges with no in-between but everything is a single solid smooth surface. You have one of each. They both look weird for different reasons. One of them has two different style bathtubs in it - an above ground and an in-the-ground. You don't make too much of a fuss because Kankuro likes to have sex in there more than any other room so....
You comissioned a vanity for Kankuro for his birthday so he would stop leaving his face paints everywhere in the bathroom. Its quite simple but it has three mirrors and many drawers. He sticks to purple for the most part but he has used other colors for different events. Its his favorite thing he's ever gotten from you (besides the mold of your dick. )
Kankuro's nest is wherever he wants it to be. It could be in the middle of the living room or in the kitchen or in his workshop, etc. He doesn't like having a dedicated space for his nest much like he doesn't like wearing clothes when he is home. He figures 'this is my house. If I wanna nest here (or be naked), then I can and no one can tell me no because this is my house.' However he does have a indoor hammock that he uses a lot as a nest spot.
The bedroom is...reflective of your sex life and thats all I'm going to say and you probably should never let anyone in there. Keep it locked always. The tamest thing in there is the LED sign that spells out SEX that Kankuro, the troll that he is, turns on to tell you he wants to fuck.
Kakashi Hatake
This man JUMPED at the chance to move in with you. All you did was mention your lease was ending and he was handing you a key to his family home. (Yes he had been carrying it in his pocket trying to figure out how to give it to you without making it weird....he made it weird anyway) He had avoided the house for so long but he was ready to face those ghosts as long as you were there with him. He wanted to reclaim it.
After a LOT of clean-up and some renovations, the home shaped up quite nicely. Its only a one story, one bed-one bath because fuck you if you think he's inviting people over XD. Nah this is yours, his, and the dog's space. No one is invited. (Gai doesn't count. The man comes over whether he's wanted or not and he was a part of the deal when you got Kakashi)
He specifically wanted to expand the backyard so the dogs could have space to run and play so you bought a patch of land behind the already established backyard to extend it. He got a little crazy with the privacy plants so you now have a small forest around your home. TBH this just means he can walk around with no mask and no clothes in front of the windows.
Speaking of dogs, a lot of the furniture doubles as dog beds. Dog beds everywhere. It looks like y'all collect them at this point. (And for why? The dogs end up in your bed anyway)
A reading nook doubles as a nesting space for Kakashi. For heats, Kakashi will nest in the bed but for other things, he will curl up in his reading corner and relax. He reads things other than Icha Icha but one of the bookshelves is soley dedicated to it and its on display because 'fuck you this is my house and if I wanna display my porn, I'm gonna' - said Kakashi but in nicer words. (When he feels vulnerable and you aren't around, he will put up a hanging curtain and hide)
Kakashi favors cool tones and graviates towards blue and that shows throughout the home. He originally had no interest in decorating but he wasn't about to let you go alone (because no, he needs to be with you at all times like the worlds biggest tick) so he went and it became very apparent very quickly that he had a preference. Everything he picked - at your prompting - was matching a white, grey, light blue-green sort of color scheme. Its calming for him so you went with it and incorporated your own stuff with it.
The bathroom is bigger than the bedroom and this is on purpose. Kakashi comes down from subspace after sexytime the easiest when he's being washed so the tub and the shower are much larger than normal since it has to fit two people a lot of the time. Kakashi also lives a life of constant "bruh I'm so tired I will pass out in the living room covered in filth unless someone takes me to the bathroom" moments and its infinitely easier to deal with a large bathroom.
He hates floor to ceiling windows and any furniture that is L-shaped. Something about too much sun and too many unnecessary corners. He also really hates that there are so many drawers in the kitchen but like....the counters came with them. (yes you have to keep him from shoving everything into one drawer)
The bedroom is pretty standard. A bed. A rug. Two dressers. Some pictures on the walls. A small writing desk. A bird perch on the window for messenger birds. But there is one thing that looks like it belongs but it is not what it seems. An armoire. Now, many would see it and think "oh more room for clothes" and they would be wrong. That is the sex armoire. It holds all the kinky funtime toys that Kakashi likes. (And yes, that thing is locked down more securely than Area 51. It only opens for you and Kakashi.)
Kakashi does have a memorial place in the yard for the people he loves that died and a wall inside the house for all the people he loves that are still alive. He needs the two spaces to be separate and as far away from eachother as possible. The backyard memorial is a small patch with a bunch of stones with people's names on them with a bench next to it. He sits there and talks to them sometimes. Its easier for him to be open and grieve in the comfort and privacy of his home, with his love and mate, than do it alone at the Village's Memorial Stone.
