I finally got chapter 8 of the Barks before the Bite out heheh I hope you like this! Tome plays a bigger role here

The Barks Before The Bite

This is like the calm before the storm I think...

PLS tell me ur seririt thoughts and feelings. im torn between wanting them to be like. Normal and then the other half of me realizes that i think they could Never Be Normal. god. they could be nothing they could be everything. to me.

RIGHT?

I feel like, Ritsu could totally pretend to be normal, and Serizawa could possibly maybe actually be normal, but even if they did that at the same time they could not be normal.

Ritsu I feel would be strategic, thinking 12 steps ahead, judgemental, putting up a facade, if he was actually interested in Serizawa it'd be some sort of extension of his brother complex or gate fixation on Reigen or some kind of disgust gone wrong...

Ritsu sees an adult who perhaps is paying attention to him, has a lot in common with his brother, and is trying to fit in

Serizawa sees a kid who is acquainted with all the important people in his life, is seemingly the most perfect normal upstanding citizen, and has a lot of complexes about his self worth and powers and family and stuff

I think Serizawa would not tread carefully on that, he'd be blunt and not realize that Ritsu is a hedgehog with his spikes out

Serizawa's bluntness and cluelessness and lack of boundaries and lack of common sense and lack of supportiveness vs. Ritsu's introvertedness his subtleties and insecurities and politeness and need for support

You know how Serizawa straight up abandoned Reigen on their way to ???% ?

I want Serizawa to accidentally thoughtlessly abandon Ritsu when Ritsu needs him the most and Ritsu is used to not being helped but he's also crushed and he's battling with that

My fic is going in a terrible terrible direction though, it is going to be a dead dove darkfic
