Takao - Tumblr Posts
How has no one talked about a coffeeshop AU with Takao and Kai? It would totally work out so well.
Imagine Takao working at a cat cafe while Kai stops by every day to play with the cats (and to spoil them ofc)
Takao works at a cat café with Rei and Max. He mostly works with Max at the drink station up front while Rei checks up on the cats and works on the food.
Kai moves into the small town they live in. He is instantly drawn to the cats on the cat tower by the window. He orders a plain black coffee and stays for an hour to play with the cats before leaving. His order stays the same and he does the same routine.
Takao is very curious about him. He is confused by his order and a little disgusted that he orders it all the time with nothing else. He is a little annoyed by him and his rude mannerism.
In the end, he's in love with how gentle Kai is with the cats and really hopes he is able to adopt one.
Takao often tries to start up conversations with him at the counter, but is often ignored. Kai only really engages in the conversations about the cats and it usually is him nodding or acknowledging his existence.
Kai slowly falls for him as he keeps trying to get to know him. No one has tried as hard as Takao to know him.
Well, one other person but they are dead. Kai is haunted by the loss of Yuuya and being around cats calms the nightmares. He still beats himself up over Yuuya's death and closes himself off from everyone to make sure they don't die like him.
After Takao falls over because he went to work ill, it triggers Kai's trauma and really frightens him. It takes Rei calming him down and Max taking care of Takao for Kai to really admit he likes the cat café and Takao.
This motivates Takao when he recovers and brings the two closer. He realizes right then and there that it is not a simple crush anymore, but he's really in love with Kai and wants to be the one to listen to his past.
I introduced a hunger games inspired story for the Bladebreakers and I'm going to dive into the marriage of Kai and Takao. (hinting/brushing over the other details that were in the last post just in case it was not someone's cup of tea). Read the previous post for all those details.
To briefly summarize, Takao and Kai are officially recognize as lovers due to the survival game. This is a marriage that cannot be broken until death.
I love thinking about this so there will be a lot to unpack.
Takao and Kai have to do official marriage ceremonies in both of their countries. Ceremonies are just for show and tradition. They usually have no meaning behind it.
For Kai, his family gives them matching back tattoos and then they are buried under snow afterwards. There is a certain meal they eat too and then they have a grand drinking party since Kai is officially the ex-heir now. They have to sleep in separate rooms.
For Takao, they are blessed by all family members and drink sake. They eat a lot of good food together to ensure they live long together. This is very strict because they have to eat the same foods at the same time. They sleep in the same room, but not together.
Takao is overjoyed at visiting Russia since he has never left Japan before and interested in tattoos since they are not allowed in his family. This is the exception since they are marriage tattoos. Takao does not really like a lot of the foods, but eats it just to please Kai's family. He gets a little homesick because of how badly he is adjusting to Russia. He does not know Russian, Kai's family only know a little bit of Japanese, and Takao cannot speak English too well.
Kai is not happy to see his grandfather and do the ceremony, but wants to enjoy his time with Takao, his cousin Yuriy, and cousin Iwan. Bryan and Sergei accompany them since they are their soulmates (due to the games). He quickly picked up the language barrier with Takao and tries his best to translate.
Yuriy is now the official heir since Kai is marrying an foreigner and he is marrying a Russian like Bryan. This is not common, especially for people close to Hiwatari clan. Tala's blood is the closest to Voltaire which makes him next in line, giving him more enemies than friends.
Takao actually gets along best with Yuriy and Bryan. They call each other by their English names Tyson and Tala, but before they leave, they start calling each other Takao and Yuriy because they get along that well. Bryan only lets Yuriy call him by his actual name and that is only at certain times (like when he's mad lol).
He is visited by his extended family like Brooklyn. Kai never really liked him, but Takao tries to get along with him despite his quirks.
Family friends (who may or may not have weak blood to them) such as the Justice Five, F-Dynasty, BEGA League, Barthez Battalion, the Zagart Family, and Boris. Boris is close to Voltaire (some say they could be having an affair), but he does not work at the main branch often anymore since the children of the main branch started taking on more roles. Yuriy and Iwan do a lot of the jobs now.
Takao gets along with a lot of them pretty well, accidentally having to spend a lot of time with Brooklyn, Mystel, and Garland (much to Kai and Yuriy's displeasure). He is pretty extroverted and did not know how to say no to the 3 powerful people in the family.
Takao really likes hanging out with Zeo, Julia, and Raul, much to Kai's quiet delight because they're the only good other family members. Kai is pretty protective of the 3 since they are often discriminated by other members. Yuriy particularly likes hanging out with this group too if he does not find his cousin Iwan or husband Bryan.
Wow, I talked enough. Next time I will go into how Kai takes in Japan (and ultimately stays there forever).
