Summary
Picks up in the car after the Suwa family showdown in Ep.12.
They have been partners for years, and they still are. They're just a different kind now, I guess? After making the drastic (and arguably psychotic) plan to leave the hitman business, Kazuki and Rei are forced to make a huge life transition. They have to become normal people. As they work together to adapt to this new and confusing life they find themselves developing new and confusing feelings as well. A continuation of what the anime set up, they are just two "best friends" trying to find a way through their mental illness, past trauma, and their everyday lives together. Unless, maybe there's more to it than that?
I wanted to dive into their near future but also elaborate on their past. So every chapter I am trying to include a current event and a related memory.
CW: mentions of suicidal ideation, mental illness, panic attacks, descriptions of trauma

Bookmarker's Notes
you're on chapter 6 (forgetful ass)
also op idk if u can see this but ur fic bangs so far
i don't really read a lot of longfics so i was hesitant to start this, especially bc u didn't tag a dynamic despite the fic being marked as explicit, cause i can be kind of a picky eater when it comes to the dynamics, but you've managed to hook me on the emotional beats so well that i don't even care who tops anymore i just want them to hold hands or something my god
so like yeah good job <3 -

Summary
In another life, the silence that lurked on the other side could have been anything: a cloaked assassin, a huddling of mafiosos, anything and everything seeking to prove that the bullet lodged in his shoulder wasn’t enough to keep away from the clutches of the family that threatened to take away the life he only just began to live. But now, all it simply meant was that Kazuki had already taken Miri to school, hadn’t come back, and left all the cleaning to him.
Two scenes set a couple of years into their retirement, where Rei and Kazuki spend their days inching towards leaving the apartment behind for good. When their right to live in peace is cast in shadow by their still-uncertain future, Miri's boundless optimism shines a light that empowers them to move forward despite their doubts and uncertainties.

Summary
Kazuki walks the corridors of the Suwa Estate with his shoulders back and head held high. Holds close the little dignity he can salvage. It’s hard to gain respect when everyone sees you as little more than the boss’ bed-warmer. He endures anyway.

Summary
Rei’s thumb followed the path of his jaw to his chin, fingers curling beneath his pulse point as he traced the edge of Kazuki’s lower lip. By reflex or by design, Kazuki’s lips parted, a flash of pink tongue wetting skin and leather. Slut.

Rei returns home from a solo mission. Kazuki isn't pleased he had to stay behind, but Rei has something that will distract him.Set in the timeskip between episodes 8 and 9. A vague follow-on to Taste Me, Drink My Soul but can be read as a standalone. PWP!

Summary
“I want you to feel something. Fuck, Kazuki. Anything.”
Rei strained against him again, and Kazuki felt the pit inside him grow darker, a sadistic edge of bitter satisfaction as he kept his partner pinned to the floor.
“I’m feeling something right now,” Kazuki’s voice dropped an octave, low and breathy as he brought his face closer to Rei’s, watching the pinch between his brows as he increased the pressure on his wrists.
“Good,” Rei exhaled, hot breath against Kazuki’s cheek, “Then fuck me.”
~~~
Kazuki is feeling Miri's absence like a wound. Rei isn't above playing dirty to try and bring him back to himself.Set during episode 11. PWP - Can be read as a standalone!

Summary
“For me?” asks Rei, furrowing his eyebrows. Why is he getting a surprise when it isn’t even his birthday?
Kazuki unbuttons the second from the top button on his white shirt, lifting one side up for Rei to take a peek at the black lace draping around the skin of his chest for a whole second before promptly buttoning it up again. A sudden flush runs through Rei’s body. Kazuki is currently wearing the lingerie Rei bought underneath the expensive suit he’s wearing, and when the realization dawns on Rei on what’s waiting for him at the end of the evening, Kazuki is already smirking, looking devilishly handsome for the night.
“Can we skip dinner and get to the best part?” suggests Rei, and he’s dead serious too. Kazuki simply laughs it off.
-----------
OR: It's Kazuki's birthday, and they're getting nasty.

Summary
Kazuki was just using Rei's place to crash while he got his life together. That was all it was - a mutually beneficial arrangement. He got free rent, Rei got in-house laundry and food.
Except, maybe, that wasn't what kept him around.
Maybe Kazuki liked being with Rei, and maybe Rei liked having him around too.
But those kinds of thoughts were dangerous for an assassin.
And that was before they got the kid.

Summary
A compilation of one shots of missing scenes from Buddy Daddies. I try to be as canon compliant as possible in this series, but may include headcanons and whatnot. In this series Kazuki and Rei do eventually become a romantic couple (because that’s how I personally interpret their relationship) but some of the fics are QPR compliant too so if you’d rather interpret them that way, that’s fine by me!
These are not written in chronological order of any kind, but I will make sure to say in the notes of each fic approximately when it’s supposed to take place and try and keep the series in rough chronological order as well. I may also include prequel/sequel fics in here. Each fic also works as a standalone, so you don’t need to read all of them for each one to make sense.
I also have some Buddy Daddies fics that are not a part of this series. Those are just kind of stand alone one shots that I more focus on being fluffy and fun and less on staying super true to canon. AANYWAYS. I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Rei never had a problem with killing people. He had put a bullet through far too many heads to count and not once has his heart ever faltered with mercy for any of them.
But this was Kazuki, and not even the cursed ichor of the cold-blooded killer inside Rei could compel him to pull the trigger. Was that mercy too? If they had been strangers, then perhaps so. But this wasn’t mercy, no. It was love.

Summary
When he looks back to this co-parent, his friend, Rei feels a sudden surge of emotions running through his veins. “I don’t feel like me. I don’t even know who ‘me’ is.”
Kazuki’s voice comes out barely a whisper. “Oh, Rei.” He grabs his uninjured hand and squeezes. “You’re so many beautiful things wrapped in one.”
Or; in which more of Rei’s unprocessed trauma rears it’s ugly head, and his life is turned upside down. Again.

Summary
He doesn’t want to go back.
That’s just a fact; a fact he had known right from the moment he was asked (ordered) to. Still, his wants have so rarely matched what he must do, that they barely register anymore; they don’t matter after all. Go back to the mansion, continue the family line, carry on with the Suwa legacy--
There’s just no way around it.
The sooner he comes to terms with what he must do, the better. But as he sits at the table, slowly and methodically eating the birthday banquet that Kazuki and Miri prepared for him--
For the first time in many many years (perhaps in forever), Rei realizes he just can’t .

Summary
“Come on,” Kazuki repeats, sliding his hands down his arms, until he’s holding Rei’s hands. “Bed,” he repeats, gentle, comforting. His hands are warm, just as the rest of him and Rei finds himself thinking of the kisses they shared not so long ago. Bed, he thinks and he’s suddenly dizzy with the possibilities of it.
Is it too soon for that? he wonders, as he allows Kazuki to lead him out of the office. They haven’t quite discussed what’s this thing between them, although it’s evident enough how much they care for one another: Rei did take his father down for the chance to keep his little family.
In which Rei & Kazuki continue to navigate their relationship, try to raise their daughter well despite neither knowing what they're doing, while also being in charge of a criminal empire.
Somehow, the last one is the easiest bit.Series
