M. Tokito

HCs: easily flustered, short s/o

—••

• At first, he doesn’t really notice nor does he care. He can barely remember your name on a good day, much less remember your age or your height. He sees you, and there’s maybe a faint tingle of recognition in his mind before the wind blows it all away.
• He does remember, however, your hugs. It just feels different. Whenever someone hugs him — usually Rengoku or Kanroji — he’s always the small spoon, the one being protected. But when you’re in his arms and you tuck your head in the crook of his neck, he feels strong. Like you’re depending on him to protect you while you’re vulnerable, and it makes him feel so weirdly pleasant that he can’t get enough of it.
• He also has this distant smugness when you turn to him for help in reaching something high up. He’s always getting teased by the other taller Pillars about being small that being the taller one for once gives him an ego boost.
• Not that it matters. He’ll forget about it, anyway: the butterflies, the warmth, the insistent feeling in his chest that urges him to close his eyes and smile and just bask in the moments with you. Yeah, he’ll forget, anyway, so why bother showing anything?
• The tune changes once he regains his memories and personality. It’s all normal until he sees you again, and as if the bottle he’s kept all his emotions in have cracked, his cheeks explode with warmth. Just seeing you brings too many emotions that he has to abort the mission and run away when your eyes meet his.
• The next time you meet again, he stares at you and, ignoring the nervous fluttering in his stomach, pats your head.
• “You’re so small.”
• Muichirou doesn’t even know why he said that. You blink up at him, stunned, before a flush of red coats your cheeks in embarrassed indignation. He watches you splutter in response, and he can’t help but think that that’s so cute. He pats your head again absently and smiles at you before pinching your cheek and walking off.
• You shrug it off as nothing, but that’s probably one of your greatest mistakes. The next time you see each other, Muichirou automatically pats your head like a child — he acts so angelic, but behind closed doors, he’s snickering at you because you’re so small. Doesn’t matter if you’re shorter by a hair’s breadth or you can barely reach his shoulder; he’s going to make fun of you about it.
• He doesn’t know why he does it. I mean, he does — it’s because you look so damned adorable that he wants to pinch your cheeks — but he doesn’t know why he cares. See, it’s just height. No big deal. Shinobu’s the smallest of the Pillars, and she’s an amazing fighter. It’s not like height matters.
• That’s what he says to himself. And others. When someone dares comment on your stature, he glares at them so hard they’ll probably have nightmares.
• “If you have time to look at Y/N then you have time to train. Get to work before I beat your ass.”
• No one teases his Y/N about it besides him. He gets irritated so easily even though you assure him it’s just harmless fun. He wants you to allow no one else but him to tease you about it — he wants to be special, dammit.
• You tease him about that. He’s just so cute when he gets jealous. Even more so because he’s so oblivious that he’s jealous. He just sulks and gets confused over why he’s sulking, and it takes you having to worm your way into his arms and hug him before he can feel better.
• He loves snuggling with you. Lazy afternoons when the sun is too hot, underneath the shade of a huge tree, idly folding paper cranes. He loves it when you curl up against him or even lay your head in his lap for a quick nap. He’d ask you for an actual cuddle if his heart didn’t threaten to combust whenever he thought about it.
• He uses you as a headrest. It’s probably his goal to be as annoying as possible to you, or maybe he’s just really happy to not be the smallest one (sans Shinobu, but Muichirou would never dare tease her about her height anyway). He comes out of nowhere and wraps his arms around you before resting his chin atop your head, smugly grinning when you react.
• One time you got annoyed at him and his antics. He pouted at you and, as expected, everything was back to normal. You just can’t resist those eyes. Muichirou abuses the hell out of this and often does cutesy things to make you goo in his hands.
• Muichirou really, really, really just likes getting a rise out of you. Maybe. He doesn’t understand that much why, but he supposes it’s because you look so cute when you’re all flustered and pouty about your height. When he learned you were older than him, he started calling you nee-san while blatantly flaunting his height to you just to see you fume.
• He must be a sadist, he thinks. But you just give the most entertaining reactions that he can’t help it.
• (He’s definitely in love, but Uzui’s having the time of his life watching the two of you bumble like idiots to intervene. Maybe Kanroji will tell Muichirou what love is, one day, when she finally has enough. Not yet, though.)
• You just wait until you have your growth spurt. Then you can tease him about his height until he gets his own growth spurt. Then you just either have to run away or resign yourself to your fate of having one Tokitou Muichirou constantly poking fun of you because he doesn’t know how to handle his own little crush.
