Could We Please Get Some Headcanons About Makoto And Futaba Finding Out Their S/o Is Academically Challenged

Could we please get some headcanons about Makoto and Futaba finding out their s/o is academically challenged and they ways they'd try to help, like methods they'd try to tutor them or motivate them to do better? Optional bonus points if it turns out their affection is the strongest motivator for their s/o. IE Promising a kiss if they pass the test and s/o aces it.

Ight, time for this stable P5 headcanon ask now. Not as long as my other asks but hopefully it's still up to par.

I put a reference to another Sega-published game in here somewhere, let's see who can spot it first.

Makoto Niijima

-Being the student council president it's not too hard to access your grades. You'd been pretty closed off about them so she decided to look for herself. Placing such importance on grades as she does, her heart nearly stopped once she saw what you were up to in terms of academics.

-At lunch the next day she approaches you and revealed that she knew. She tries to not show any sort of anger, but does make it clear you two are having a study session and you're not getting out of this.

-Once said session starts, it's not that hard for Makoto to pick up on the problem. You just can't seem to focus on studies for the life of you, even though you make it apparent to her you're really, genuinely trying.

-At least you're better than Ryuji in that regard, but that only leaves the question of what could overcome this issue? What would motivate you to do better?

-Well, you're her S/O, so an idea comes to mind above most others. It's probably weird but it just might work. She awkwardly suggests the idea of a kiss if you get an A.

-Little did she know when she uttered those words, that would wake the beast inside. All of a sudden the notes drastically increase in quantity, whatever questions she throws your way you stick to it and figure almost each and every one of them out, so many overdue assignments get done in just one session together.

-The next test comes and goes and you managed to get a 98 percent. Makoto is completely taken aback. Just one offer of a kiss as a reward and you turn around your grades at the drop of a hat.

-Well, she's a woman of her word...

Futaba Sakura

-Futaba got bored one day, so as a joke she decided to hack into the school system to see what everyone's grades were.

-When she got to yours however, she was thrown for a loop. They were...much lower than they should be for how smart she knows you are.

-The next time you see her, she reveals that she knows about your grades. She gently asks if you'd be interested in getting some help from her. Not hack the school system to give you straight A's, she knows you can get those scores if you just put your mind to it. You don't have the heart to say no.

-Eventually you hit a roadblock. No matter how hard you try, you can't just seem to properly grasp the material. Thinking you just need some motivation, she jokingly offers a kiss if you get a good enough score on the upcoming test.

-Super Saiyan mode activated.

-Futaba is completely shellshocked. The way you magically seemed to start popping off on all the questions that were likely on the test was unlike anything she expected. Did a kiss seriously motivate you that much?

-Apparently yes, because you get in the top 5 scorers for the test against all odds.

-One one hand, Futaba's super proud of you for turning your grades around just like that. On the other, she's lowkey embarrassed that you really were just that eager for a kiss from her.

-Well, she got this far. Too late to turn back now.

Doodoo anon here to say 2 things:

1. The misspelling is intentional.

2. Really sorry for making you uncomfortable and giving you a difficult ask. To be honest I just wrote it as a joke and didn't think you'd actually accept it. Hope I can provide better prompts in the future.

Well at the very least I know for a fact I'm not down with writing for Zdrada specifically. I felt a bit guilty at the thought of excluding her specifically because I know that despite my feelings towards her there ARE some people who still like her but I did need to give it a legit shot to know for sure. No hard feelings

I half to ask, as a Blazblue fan, how the hell do you all put up with the story? I just saw a Blazblue retrospective, and even though it mostly focused on the major bits, it was still enough to possible give Metal Gear and KH a run for their money XD.

Actually playing the games helps out a lot, though I wouldn't blame someone for not wanting to play through Calamity Trigger lmao, the way it tells it's story is pretty ass. Personally I watched Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift on YouTube and played Chrono Phantasma and Central Fiction for myself. Also just casually scrolling through the wiki is pretty fun and keeps me well informed.

Not an ask, but I noticed your Noel and Aigis ask could have happened in the bbtag universe.

Yeah I did realize that too, and I did point it out in the ask. I just felt that was kinda lazy and wanted to challenge myself a bit with it.

I thought nanase was the same age as everybody else, but I might have missed something in chronicles. Sorry.

Don't worry you're good. Unib lore ain't no walk in the park with how fucking long chronicle mode is, that's for sure.

Go fucking follow this guy, these headcanons are actually insane.

NOEL = VERMILLION

I .. II .. III circa 2198 for @nkn0va

I.

Noel has been a romantic all of her life- at least, all of it that she can remember.  Her poetry books are filled with references to the butterflies of gentle hand-holding, the warmth of a long walk or a sunset watched together, the feeling of finding a lost part of yourself in way your soulmate says your name.

This sappy, lovestruck side of herself is something she’s a little afraid to show you right away- afraid you’ll laugh at her, afraid it'll gross you out or scare you away.  But it’s so integral to who she is, it will color your relationship from day one.

You’ll catch her looking at you all the time with this expression of absolute awe.  It's one of the rare times she doesn't even look nervous!

Until she realizes you’ve caught her doing it.  Then she absolutely panics, stuttering in her rush to apologize or think of an excuse.

II.

She gets lost in thought, admiring the shape of your hands as you work with something or the melody of your voice and how it's always so comforting to her.

What draws her in most are your eyes. It’s probably one of the most obvious ways you can tell she’s falling for you. Noel struggles with eye contact in general, and early on she does try to avoid your gaze just as much as anyone else- but when you do make eye contact, she’s mesmerized. She can’t look away. Noel is someone who believes you can tell a lot about someone from their eyes, and yours drawn her in like nothing else.

Once the two of you are at a comfortable point in your relationship, she tends to hold eye contact with you a lot. She smiles, clearly happy to see you- sometimes giggling a bit- and then eases into this warm, loving expression as she forgets whatever you were talking about and takes a moment to just soak it all in. Her feelings for you. The feelings your presence gives her.

It’s a sanctuary for her. Your name itself is a synonym for peace.

Which is probably a theme of one of the hundreds of poems she’s written about you.

III.

Noel has been writing poetry about you since she first started falling for you.  If you ever found out about the tens of dozens of poems she wrote for you before you even started dating, she’d probably drop dead on the spot.

After you started dating, and after another dozen poems gobbled up her notebook, she bought a special notebook just to write about you and your relationship.  She probably splurged for fancy tinted paper, with a cute pattern and a color that reminds her of you.  It’s carefully organized, neatly decorated with stickers and some small doodles.  It would be a really cute anniversary gift for her to give you one day, but just like before, she’d never have the heart to actually let you see it.

There are a few things she writes that she does share with you, though. On rare, incredibly rare, occasion, like a special birthday or your first anniversary, she decides to give you a poem.

She pours her heart and soul into draft after draft, looking over each one to make sure it’s absolutely perfect… then collapses into tears at the thought of you actually reading it. Back to the drawing board.

IV.

She just can’t force herself to give you her work, no matter how hard she tries. The compromise she makes with herself is to send it to you anonymously. She doesn’t sign it, but the way it shows up on your door, windowsill, or desk on the day of your anniversary gives you a pretty big hint that it’s from her.

It appears alongside pressed flowers from her hometown, smelling of a perfume you might be able to recognize that she’s worn on a few of your dates when she really wanted to impress you.

Noel of course adamantly denies any involvement. She insists that she’s never ever ever ever seen that handwriting before, and that it couldn’t POSSIBLY be from her because her anniversary gift to you is this wonderful picnic she made for you!  So she’d never send you a letter!  L-l-let alone a l-lo-love p-p- ohhh, just stop asking!  Just drop it!!!  Please!

V.

You’re pretty familiar with her handwriting when you’re dating her. She may be scared to death at the thought of you seeing her poetry, but she writes letters to you often. This is partially brought on by her romantic nature and her love of all things literary.

You could be living in the same apartment together and she’d still leave you a letter every other week, left on your pillow or in your lunch bag or in the pocket of your coat. It’s something she likes to do when you’ve had a bad day or if you won’t be getting home at the same time.

VI.

But I did mention her personal preferences aren’t the only reason she ends up writing you so much. Chances are the two of you aren’t living together. At this point in her life, her work has to be her number one priority.

She’s a member of the NOL, an elite member of their fighting force no less, and serving directly under the Major Kisaragi. The intensity of her job and the ruthlessness of her superior(s) mean she isn’t exactly swimming in free time. She’s too afraid to even try to ask Jin for days off, positive he would shatter her hopes and somehow find a way to punish you, too, whether or not you’re in the NOL yourself.

If you manage to find yourself serving as a member of the 4th Thaurmaturgist Squadron alongside her, you'll be able to spend more time together. She'd likely end up your commanding officer, considering her rank and her time in the academy at Torifune, but she's a lenient commander in general and there's no way she could ever be strict with you.

VII.

More likely, though, is that Noel and you will not be serving in the same unit, even if you are a member of the NOL. If you're able to live in the same Hierarchical city, she'll make time for you on all her days off, and maybe you'd have a chance to move in together.

Though her work does drag her away some times. This is what leads her to write you so much. She can call you, and she does, but her favorite way to stay in touch with you will always be a heartfelt letter. She tends to get nervous on the phone.

Though somehow that's rarely a problem when talking to you… Actually, she finds herself unable to stop talking when the two of you are on the phone! She'll sit down to call you while she's having dinner and planning to get ready for bed soon, and if you don't keep a careful eye on the clock and stop her, it'll be one in the morning and she'll be falling asleep on call. It's pretty cute, but she really does need to be up in morning, and she has a hard enough time getting out of bed as is!

VIII.

Just how much she has to prioritize her work over you is a huge source of guilt for her. It almost crushes her some days.

Maybe one day, she’ll have the courage to tell you why- about the situation her parents are in, about her adoption, about how important it is that she repay them in this way. They saved her. They loved her. When she had nothing. They have to be her top priority right now, which means the NOL has to be her top priority right now. Even over you. It absolutely breaks her heart.

Because of this debt she feels she has to her family, she never intended to live for herself.  Like I said at the start, Noel has always been a romantic, in love with love.  But she never thought she’d find love for herself.  She views herself as plain at best, annoying to many, and unable to offer much, if anything, to anyone.  Yet somehow… you chose her?

She'll never understand why. Every day she's with you, she sees you as more and more incredible. Her low confidence leads her to idolize the people she loves.

She feels she couldn't possibly deserve all the patience you offer her. She's so busy with her job, she can't promise you a future, she can't buy you the kinds of things you deserve, she knows there are prettier and smarter women you could be with.

Yet you stay with her. Through all her failures.

She'll never have the words- and I don't have the words- to express how grateful she is for the way you love her.
