Also welcome back and hope you had a good break 🕺

PART 1 - PART 2 - PART 3

You were a person who held your words and promises, and just like you had promised, you took it upon yourself to tutor and watch after Sanemi-senpai's younger siblings while your senpai was working his part-time job or studying for his own upcoming exams.

His younger siblings were absolute angels. They were kind and polite, a little wild, but otherwise they acted very well. It all reminded you a little of how you used to help your classmates with their studies back then, when you were just a kid.

So, your senpai introduced you to his younger siblings, Genya, Teiko, Hiroshi, Sumi, Shuya, and Koto. You were a little nervous at first, fearing that his siblings shared their eldest brother's temper, but they were angels, honestly.

Teiko, Hiroshi, Sumi, and Shuya were easy to teach, and little Koto was a kind and cute little kid who clung to you like a koala bear clung to a tree. Not that you minded, he was very light and cute.

Only one who had harder studies was actually Genya, the second-oldest Shinazugawa.

It made sense that his school stuff was harder than his younger siblings', as he wasn't much younger than Sanemi or you...

But damn, this kid was super smart! You had never seen anyone adopt the calculation method you showed him so quickly, and he was very hardworking, just like his older brother.

So once Teiko, Hiroshi, Sumi, and Shuya were done with their homework and tutoring classes, they spent their time doing what they liked, while you taught and tutored Genya with his more advanced studies.

"Wow, Genya, I'm impressed!" You nodded as Genya finished the calculations you had given him in record time. The young man nodded as he handed the paper for you to check for any mistakes or such.

"T- Thank you..." He thanked you in such a small voice, "Do you do these calculations often...?"

"Every day," You replied, "Though most of them feel pretty useless in normal everyday life. But dang, you're smart one Genya!"

"You're..." He nodded slightly, humbly, "You're really smart also."

"I have to be," You replied as you checked the answers on the mock exam you just held for him, "I don't have any money, so I need to work hard to keep my scores up or risk being kicked out of the school."

"Ah, you're the same as us..." The young man nodded, and you frowned slightly...

"Yeah..." You nodded, "I guess we are the same in our own ways..."

There was a small silence between you two... But then you smiled and put the mock exam down before Genya.

"You got full scores!" You gave him a smile and a thumbs up, "You're going to nail the real exam when it comes!"

"T- Thank you!" Genya smiled, and what a sweet sight it was.

"You're welcome!" You glanced at the clock and noted that it was getting late. Sanemi-senpai should come home any minute soon...

"I'd better get dinner started..." Genya muttered as he got up, but you quickly stopped him, "I can cook something for you all?"

"You can cook?" He asked, and you nodded, "Yeah, it's like second nature for me."

"But you don't need to, you already tutored us-!"

"Feeding you guys won't bother me," You said as you walked past him, heading to their kitchen, and Genya quickly followed after you.

"I- I don't know if there is any food in the fridge-!"

You opened the fridge, and sure, they didn't have much, but they had enough for you to whip up something for them to eat and fill their tummies with.

"Just give me a second and get your stomachs ready!"

You left Genya no room to argue, and instead, he went to see what his siblings were up to. They had some instant noodles, but you wanted to make it a little healthier for them, so you picked a bag of frozen veggies and proceeded to stir-fry the veggies and noodles together.

It took a short moment, but during that moment, you managed to cook something to eat, and with that moment, the Shinazugawa family was sitting by the table, waiting for food.

"I'm not sure if it's good enough..." You said as you served the meal to the table, "But it's somewhat healthy at least?"

"Ooh, looks so good!" Teiko and Sumi smiled as they helped themselves with serving, followed by the boys filling their plates also. You watched them eat, nervous if you had made enough food for everyone...!

But it appeared to be enough, and they even left some leftovers!

"Thank you for the delicious meal!" They all thanked you, and you were stunned, "Wow, was that really enough for you?"

"It was!" Hiroshi and Shuya nodded, and you looked, and there was at least enough for a person or two.

"There is still some left..."

"Can we wrap it up?" Sumi asked, and you blinked, slightly confused, "For later?"

"Knowing our mother and brother, they haven't eaten yet again!" Shuya exclaimed, and your eyes widened as you realized that they had left food for a reason.

"Of course!" You nodded with a smile, and you put the rest of the noodles and veggies on two separate plates before putting them into the fridge.

"Alright, I think it's time for me to head home myself," You said as you glanced at the clock on the wall and you headed towards the apartment's entrance.

"Ah, thank you for tutoring and feeding us!" Genya quickly thanked you with a deep bow, and you smiled, "It was nothing! You guys are honestly so nice and super smart also!"

"Will you come back again soon?" Teiko asked from around the corner, and you smiled as you nodded, "Yeah! It's my pleasure being here and helping you guys!"

"Bye bye!" Little Koto waved at you, and you happily waved back at him as you left. Honestly, while your Sanemi-senpai was pretty scary, the rest of the Shinazugawa family were rather sweet. You wouldn't mind tutoring them in the future.

Later, once you were long gone, Sanemi made his way home late at night. His younger siblings were already sleeping, and he was both tired and hungry.

So he headed to see if there was anything in the fridge for him, and he saw the stir-fried noodles and veggies on a plate. He grabbed a plate without hesitation and put it into the microwave to heat it up, and once warm, he absolutely devoured the meal.

"Brother...?"

Sanemi flinched as he looked and saw his younger sister Sumi rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Sumi..." Sanemi frowned, "You should be sleeping. It's school night."

"You're eating...?"

"Yeah," He nodded, "This is delicious. Thank you."

"Your friend made it." She said, and the young man's eyes widened, "They fed you?"

"Yeah, it was really good." Sumi smiled, "So we saved some for you and mom."

"I..." Sanemi was speechless, both by the kindness of his own family and yours. You had no reason or obligation to feed his family, and yet you had done so.

"Go to sleep." He ordered, and the young girl nodded, "Okay... But be kind to them, okay? They were really nice to us."

"I..." Sanemi swallowed his pride and nodded, "I'll thank them, so don't worry."

"Thank you, brother." With that, Sumi headed back to the bed, leaving her brother fuming as he felt in debt to you.

But wasn't this what it was to be a Hashira? To be there for each other, and when someone needed help? Feeling in debt didn't settle well with Sanemi's stomach, but he couldn't deny that you had seriously helped him and his family.

Pt.1 (making it a story…hopefully) (ALSO not movie accurate!!) (will be based in modern time rather than the 90s/00s)

Pairing: Rafe x reader (strangers/enemies to lovers)

(Face claim: Jessica Alba)

Warnings: language, mentions of the word ‘rape’ (due to a part in the book I reference ‘heroes’ if you haven’t read it, I kinda recommend, I read it for my gcse and it was one of the better books I did for English 😭)

-❂❂❂-

It was the beginning of summer, life was great. Even greater for Rafe, new place, fresh start. Moving from California, to Outer Banks was a big change. Well, it was nice for him. He hoped the people… mainly girls… were different from the fake basic girls in Cali.

It was his first day of school, as for you, it was a normal day of school.

You were in your stone grey Toyota gt86, blasting your rock chick music. As the car next to you blasts white chick music. You rolled your eyes at the basic taste of music.

You pulled off as soon as the light hit green. Driving over to the high school.

Once on you had parked up, you got out of the car. Grabbing your tote bag from the back seat you closed both doors and locked your car. Putting your keys into your bag. You adjusted the straps on your shoulder.

Rafe was already there, talking with his ‘tour guide’. The guy, Jake, went through the basics. More specifically the basics of what group of people was what. The ‘jocks’, ‘popular girls’, ‘cowboys’, etc.

That’s when Rafe spotted you from afar. You walked over to your small (preferably) friendship group. Sitting with them on the small brick wall.

Rage’s attention went from you as Jake patted his shoulder and chuckled. Rafe asked “who’s that??” Jake replied “that, my friend, is Y/n Y/l/n… no point in going for her, man.” Rafe’s eyebrow raised “why not??” Jake answered “dude, she’s like got a huge attitude and kinda a bitch…” Rafe scoffed “you probably said something to upset her or some shit, that’s why..” Jake shakes his head “all I’m sayin’ is, watch out for her, man.”

Rafe’s attention was back on you. The way your hair naturally curls, the way your white band tee hugged your chest nicely, the way your long black skirt hugged your curves in all the right places. The way the slight showed just the right amount of thigh that it would be a nice view; but doesn’t dress code you. The way your docs topped off the outfit nicely. Edgy, but modest. You had different style to other girls in the school. And Rafe, for the first time, wasn’t complaining. He never thought he’d be into girls that didn’t wear dresses that practically suffocated them. Or girls that didn’t wear skirts that showed half of your ass. You were different, a good different.

The bell snapped him out of his thoughts. Shit, he has class, he looked over to you one more time to see you walking away with your friends.

-❂❂❂-

You sat in class, the teacher spoke “so? Did anyone even bother to read heroes??”

A girl raised her hand, “yeah, it was so romantic…” you rolled your eyes and remarked “romantic? Larry raped Nicole, so Francis went on a mission. Then it was wasted cause he didn’t even get to complete the mission cause Larry shot himself. Then Nicole and Francis didn’t even reconnect officially… hardly a love story..”

The teacher spoke “thank you, Y/n… didn’t need the summary but thanks…” you crossed your arms and leaned back into the plastic chair “why can’t we read better books by better authors… like Emily Brontë, or George Orwell, even Chuck Palahniuk, maybe even Steven Ki-”

Your teacher spoke “alright, we get it, you say it every time, and I always say..” you mocked “I can’t do a single thing, it’s the school that picks, not me..” your teacher nodded “exa-” the classroom door opens.

Rafe walks in, he gave a small smile “wha’d I miss?” You look over your shoulder. Looking him up and down “discussing the fact this school picks shitty books rather than actual interesting ones…” he smirked when he heard you speak “great.” He left the class.

You looked to your teacher, they spoke “office, now” you place your books in your tote bag and put it over your shoulder. You gave a small smirk to your friends as they subtly cheered for you. As the completely agreed with your argument.

You walked down the hallway, Rafe leaned against the lockers on his phone. As you walked past he looked up, “Y/n… right?”

You turned on your heel and faced him “who’s asking?” He chuckles softly “I’m uh, Rafe… Rafe Cameron…” you nodded “I know, you’re Ward’s son, right??” He raised an eyebrow. How did she know?

You quickly added “my dad is in the same company as the one your father joined. He told me they chatted and mentioned that you’d be joining here…” he nodded “oh right… yeah, uh where you headin’?”

“The office, once again, the English teacher never likes me.” He chuckled as he walked over to her “why’s that? You smarter than her?” You shrug “wouldn’t say smart, I just have good taste in book unlike her or the school…” he nodded. Shoving his hands in the pockets of his slacks “so… mind if I walk with you?” You shook your head “I don’t mind. I wasn’t going to the principals office anyways..” he smirked “bad girl, huh?” You playfully rolled your eyes “more like, the principal is fed up of me going to her office… so here I am, roaming the halls for the next…” you look at your watch “..ten minutes”

He nods, you walk side by side. Rafe didn’t know what he was feeling. He wasn’t intimidated but felt almost shy. He couldn’t describe it, you look the type to rip people’s head off if they bark back at you. But honestly… that was hot in his eyes.

-❂❂❂-

It was currently lunch, you sat on the bleachers with your friends. Eating lunch and talking about anything and everything.

Rafe sat with Jake and a few of Jake’s friends. Rafe clicked almost instantly with Topper and Kelce. They’re both interested in golf, partying, girls, etc. So naturally they clicked.

Rafe would glance over to you from time to time. Topper chuckled “hey, if you keep lookin’ she’s gonna see, dude” Rafe rolled his eyes “fine with me.” The guys chuckled.

Kelce asked “hey Top, Y/n friends with your sister, right??” Topper nodded then sipped his can of Pepsi. Rafe looked to Topper, “wait seriously??” Topper put tossed his can in the trash “yeah, dude, she’s over my place quite a lot.”

Rafe’s ears perked, over Topper’s place quite a lot?? Damn…

He then looked back over to the group to see his sister, Sarah, walk over and sit with them. He watched as Sarah and you talked and laughed. He thinks to himself ‘if she’s friends with Sarah, that means she might come over our place? Oh. My. God’

-❂❂❂-

It was an hour or two after school, you sat on the couch. Your Marshall headphones resting on your head as you listen to music and read.

You hear footsteps approaching, it was your father. He holds an envelope to you. You pulled your headphone down, resting them around your neck. You opened the envelope and gasped “no way!” Your dad asked “what is it??” You answered “I got in! The art and music college we talked about! I got in!” He smiled “really?! Congrats, sweetie!”

Your younger sister (who’s completely opposite to you, full glam and girly, made you wanna gag) came downstairs is a slightly shorter than usual dress. Your father asked “and where are you going??”

Your sister, Gabs, replied “there’s this boy, his name is Brooks” you rolled your eyes “you mean the not so good looking guy who is a huge idiot??” “Shut up!!” Your sister looks back to your dad “he asked to go to the movies, go I pleaseee go daddy?” Your dad shakes his head “absolutely not, you know the rule. No dating till you graduate” Gabs rolls her eyes “please!” He replied “no, end of discussion.”

Gabs argued “this isn’t fair, Y/n gets to go out but I can’t??” You fake laughed “good one, Gabs.” Your father added “same rule applies to her.” You looked over to Gabs “and by the way, I’m not looking for anyone, not interested in a single soul…”

Gabs huffed, your father walks away. You crossed your legs on the couch and rested your now closed book in your lap. “So, where were you actually going? I assume you just lied to dad…” Gabs whispered “a party…” you lightly scoffed “you know you’re too young for those parties, especially with Brooks..” Gabs rolls her eyes “I’m only two years younger than you, quit it.”

Your father re-enters, “new deal, Gabs can have a date-” Gabs squealed and smiled. Your dad added “-if Y/n gets a date.” Gabs smiled drops. “What?! She won’t date! Daddy this is unfair!”

You grabbed your book and stood up, heading over to the stairs. Your sister complained “daddy! She won’t date at all, she’ll be buried and not have a date! C’mon!” You chuckled “good, I’ll keep it that way.” Gabs stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at you “you’re so selfish, you know that?!” You chuckled and walked down the hallway upstairs and to your room. Gabs huffed in annoyance.

If you date, Gabs can date. But you don’t wanna date anyone, do you? Not now, not ever… maybe that can change… maybe it’ll stay the same… who knows…

Not sure…I thought I posted this here…
