The Only German I'll Ever Be In Love With

now what rlly pmo abt the blue lock fandom is when people say that rin and sae are similar in personality or if people give those two the same reactions to things, because they are VERY different people.

sae is a completely nonchalant guy. he’s more or less emotionless around most people, and he doesn’t really get mad or even slightly irritated unless someone gives him random physical affection (shidou). he’s rude because he says whatever is on his mind, no matter how rude it is or how much “erm actually” energy it gives, although sae also isn’t afraid of complimenting someone as he complimented Isagi at the end of the u20 arc. basically, sae has a pretty dry personality.

rin is similar on the outside, but certainly not the inside. rin tries to be nonchalant in order to imitate sae, but rin is the least from nonchalant. he gets mad easily, he’s got the emotional maturity of a child, and speaks rudely even though it usually isn’t what he actually thinks. rin knows that isagi is just as good as he is, but he always says something rude at isagi out of insecurity and to imitate sae. so to sum it up, sae is just a dry asshole with not a whole lot of brightness to him. meanwhile, rin pretends to be nonchalant but is the opposite.

rin has anger issues and emotional management issues, and sae just has issues in general.

i'd lowk be a bop in blue lock bc like WTF do you mean men like THEM reside in an area?

"sit down shrii-" IM FUCKING SAT.

rin itoshi x reader ( café barista AU ☕️ ༘⋆ )

──★ ˙🧷 ̟ !!

ᡣ𐭩 notes: hi so i’ve been thinking about barista!rin itoshi all day long and i just HAD to do this. the idea of him being all grumpy and silent behind the counter but secretly losing his mind every time you walk in??? the silent little acts of affection?? the way he would never actually say anything at first but it's just so obvious if you pay attention??? ughh i just couldn't resist okay. anywayyy, please enjoy this very specific soft headcanons of rin ♡

──★ ˙🧷 ̟ !!

໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who deadass looks like he hates everyone when he's behind the counter — perfect poker face, radiates “don’t-talk-to-me-unless-necessary” energy — but would literally turn into an awkward mess every time you walk in & smile at him.

໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who somehow always ends up at the register when you arrive — even if it’s not his shift — just so he can take your order personally.

໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who glares at his coworkers if they ever flirt with you too much — absolutely vicious silent death glares over the espresso machine.

໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who accidentally makes your drink prettier than everyone else's — little foam art hearts he insists are just "part of the set menu design."

໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who always remembers your "usual" — but if you ever try something new, he quietly copies your new order after his shift just to understand what you like.

໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who lowkey practices how he’s going to ask you out — probably while wiping down the counters or steaming milk — but chickens out every single time because you smile too brightly and he forgets how words work.

໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who finally — finally — manages to mumble, "Next coffee’s on me. And, uh... maybe after my shift ends tomorrow... let’s go on a date?" while studiously refusing to meet your eyes.

my two favourite things together 😭💕

kazutora and mikey content... i used to pray for times like this🙏

this is giving sanzu vibes ngl..

pov you and sae's daughter pranks that she has a boyfriend when really she's just playing love and deepspace, featuring overprotective rin. word count: 1k. itoshi sae x f!reader and you're married

"I have a boyfriend."

There's a beat of silence, two, as your daughter stares at Sae. He barely glances up from where he's making two hot cups of tea at the kitchen counter. "Okay."

"Dad, I'm serious."

He nods, tea leaves carefully strained in his hand. "Okay."

"Is that all you have to say?"

He watches as the color seeps into the water, and offhandedly wonders whether this conversation really has to interrupt his tea-making. She could be interrupting an event. Or an interview.

"Is there something I'm supposed to say?"

"I don't know?? Like — Who is he? What's his name? Does he treat you well?"

"Who is he. What's his name. Does he treat you well."

His deadpan tone clearly doesn't entertain, as his daughter all but collapses onto the kitchen counter.

"Y'know, this is why nobody likes you."

"Your mom likes me." It's true. Probably. There's two cups of tea on the counter, after all. You'll at least love him when he hands you one.

"I heard mom call you a frigid bitch with her friend the other day."

"That's nice of her."

Steam billows into the air as Rin swipes down the stairs and pads through the kitchen, frowning at the sink before rolling his sleeves up, soap bubbling up the sponge that froths in his hand.

And like the little fox she is, she sets her sights on a new target with a wicked grin.

"Rin-niisan,” there’s an airy, sing-song tune to her voice, but all it grants her is a vaguely annoyed look. Even she’s surprised at his lack of danger sense, like maybe this man needs to be studied. “I have a boyfriend."

A plate slips in Rin's hand, clanging on its descent. "Ha?"

He flips around, hands still elbow-deep in the sink. "What? What are you telling me for?" He juts his chin out to Sae. "Say something."

Sae just raises an eyebrow that earns a tch from Rin. The sink turns on, then shuts off, then turns on again, as if exposing how Rin's mind runs.

"Bring him over."

It sounds like a perfectly innocent statement, except for the way Rin's voice lowers, his gaze turned cutting behind his fringe.

That has both Sae and your daughter straightening. "He's probably just a kid," Sae reassures.

"Doesn't matter." A plate screeches as it's dropped into the drying rack. "Bring him over."

Sae thinks he just watched his daughter regret the entire conversation in one fell swoop. Maybe she shouldn't have brought it up, if just for the mysterious boyfriend's preservation, or the sanctity of his ego before Rin hits him with his intent-to-kill.

"What's going on?" Your slippers slide across the tile, the tell-tale sign of a savior.

"Your kid has a boyfriend." Rin lectures quickly, as if there's finally a real adult here to handle the situation.

"What?" You almost trip as you skid across the floor, and Sae moves to stabilize you with ease.

"What did you say?" You turn to Sae in a hushed tone that everyone can hear.

"I said okay."

You blink at him. He blinks at you back.

"Okay?"

Your daughter swings her phone to point at Sae. "I told you you're supposed to say something."

"It's fine," you wave his nonchalance away, "I'll set the precedent then. What's his name? What's he like? Does he treat you well? Wait, you told Rin before me?" You turn to Rin, "What did you say?"

"Rin wants to kill him." Both Sae and your daughter say in unison.

Rin shrugs in your direction. "At least I said something."

"I knew it was coming." Sae hits back easily.

"You knew?" You ask with a tone like it's an allegation and Sae wonders if maybe this is the time to give you that tea. "What are you, some kind of prophet? Tell us the lottery numbers next."

"She's been smiling at her phone. I figured she'd tell us when she was ready."

"And you didn't think to tell me?"

"Okay! No murder, no boyfriend!" Your daughter claps. "This was all a prank! I was just joking!"

There's another clank into the sink as Rin groans. At this point, Sae's not sure if the dishes will make it past this conversation.

"Then what's on your phone?"

"I started playing this otome game — Look! It even has an introduce to the parents function!"

Sae takes the phone from her hands as she shows you both, which she allows disgruntledly.

"Mm. He's very polite." He hands the phone back to her.

Rin looks over your daughter's shoulder, hands still dotted with soap, then scoffs. "So a virtual boyfriend? He doesn't even look real."

You raise your eyebrows at him. "I think that's the point. I used to play one of those too."

"You. Played a game with a virtual boyfriend." It's almost a question, Sae's hand sliding across the countertop. "Was this when we were dating?"

"Oh, so that you react to?" Your daughter huffs.

"I think a 'virtual boyfriend' is a little much. I played a video game."

"A dating video game." Your daughter wiggles her eyebrows at you. "That simulates dates." She looks at Sae pointedly. "It's immersive."

Her magic works on him a little too well, because subtle concern fills his face. "How immersive?"

You give him an incredulous look. "He's not even real."

"Give it to me." Sae makes a give-it-here gesture to your daughter's phone, which she of course responds with by holding it closer to her chest. Because she's a teenager. Her phone is sacred. "What else does he say?"

"You know what, dad. I suddenly have had a change of heart. I think we should aaall pretend I didn't say anything."

Rin almost snorts, the kitchen towel flung through his hands before being put meticulously back over the handle. "You should've thought of that before."

"I'm just tryna lighten the mood out here! Jeez, you're all so serious."

"Rin almost went to jail for what you just said." You jab.

"Or your parents could've gotten divorced." Rin bats back.

"Nobody is getting divorced." The side-eye Sae gives Rin is lethal. "Don't joke about that."

Oh. That reminds him. He takes both mugs and hands you one.

"Wah, thank you!" You get on your tippy-toes as you press a kiss to his cheek, your smile so wide it makes him give you a shy little upturn of his mouth back. "I love you."

Sae turns and pointedly looks straight at his kid. She rolls her eyes.

credits to tangerinedarker on ao3 for calling sae a frigid bitch in their various fics, i thought that was hilarious and it lives in my head rent free HAHA

in my mind reader called her friend to tell them after bachira texts her “how’s your frigid bitch of a husband” bc in tangerinedarker’s chat fic bachira was the one that came up w the nickname :D

carpooling with your boyfriend—itoshi sae—has got to be the most interesting thing in the world.

there’s a silent sneeze coming from the man beside you—you barely noticed it was even a sneeze in the first place until someone pointed it out . . . someone being your boyfriend’s younger brother.

“you don’t sneeze like that!” rin exclaims in surprise.

from your perspective, all you can see is the way sae’s head turns to rin. however, all rin can see is the glare of death coming from his brother’s eyes telling him to shut up. there’s a twinge of curiosity brewing up in your throat that you just have to spit out.

“what does he mean?” your question is directed to sae but before he can turn back and answer it, rin is already answering. “big bro normally makes the whole house jump when he sneezes . . .” he pouts, sinking back into the plush seat—probably jealous you didn’t have to experience a whole ass earthquake, so unfair!

surprise shocks right through you in amusement. “really?” you urge him to elaborate on the subject, the look of betrayal is a glint in sae’s stare. “yeah! it rings throughout the house,” he explains and you’re on the verge of laughing but also dying by the hands of sae.

what should you do . . ? test your luck, of course!

“how?”

a familiar annoyed groan comes from sae before he starts massaging his temples like he has the worst migraine in the world. “. . . don’t even.” two words he spoke and two words rin didn’t listen to as he confidently re-enacts his brother so-called ‘sneeze that can cause an earthquake’.

and then the laugh you were holding finally rips through you—you swear you see sae slightly smile but it doesn’t stop him from feeling annoyed and betrayed,

“you guys suck.” sae grumpily grumbles.

sticky note. siblings love embarrassing their siblings . . . DO YOU GUYS SEE MY VISION I’M GIGGLING ( loud sneezer!sae . . . )

I HAVE A BIGGG HEADCANON OF RAN BEING SUCH A FAN OF DESIGNERS, BUT SPECIALLY YSL.

HE WOULD WEAR ONLY GLASSES IF THEY WERE YSL. HE WOULD MODEL JUST IF IT'S FOR YSL. HE WOULD WEAR HEELS OY IF THEY WERE. HE LOVES YSL.

HE'S LITERALLY SO FINE OMG.

THIS COULD BE PERFECTLY RAN IN BONTEN. WHERE DID MY CLOTHES GO??????????

rin doesn’t realize that he stares at you a lot in class. or just in general. he sits right next to you, and prior to him dating you, you’d notice turquoise eyes just… piercing into you nearly all the times and you have to do your absolute best to not notice.

it didn’t help that he’s not very expressive and seems to always have an rbf. you’ve barely talked to the guy, did you do something to piss him off? did you accidentally bump into him and not say sorry? you did say thank you to him when he passed you back your dropped eraser, right? right?? RIGHT???

as you’re trying to accumulate reasons as to why itoshi rin is just staring so deeply, harboring into the depths of your soul, all he’s thinking about is your new hair-clip and how it pretty it looks on you.

Had this in my drafts since the 16th of August
