Work Text:
Tomioka Giyuu:
- He'd had his suspicions, but when you told him that you'd been cutting yourself, he was still surprised.
- He would ask to see what you had done, and would show you how to properly dress your wounds. The way you had been doing it previously left you at a serious risk for an infection, and that wouldn't be any good.
- He would let you cry as long as you wanted/needed to, hugging you the whole time just so that you would know that he was there for you and that you aren't alone, no matter what your brain might try to trick you into thinking.
- Having experienced depression himself, he had a general idea of what you were going through, but encouraged you to talk about your feelings regardless, because suffering that burden alone wasn't going to help anyone, especially not you.
- He would wrap you up in blankets like a little burrito and roll you around on the floor, because he knew that even if you tried to, you wouldn't be able to keep a smile off of your face.
Kochou Shinobu:
- She would thank you for telling her, and she would mean that sincerely- it meant a lot that you were able to confide in her like that. Even if she didn't really understand why you would do that to yourself, she wanted you to know that it would be okay, and that she wasn't mad at you, not even a little bit. It took a lot of courage for you to be able to tell her that.
- She would make you breakfast in the mornings, so that you could get off to a good start. She would also want to eat lunch and/or dinner with you. Even if it was in complete silence, she just wanted to be near you so that if you needed to talk, she would be within earshot.
- Regardless of the cost, she would be willing to pay for any and all professional help you might need on your way to get better.
- Random car drives because looking out the window had always been something soothing for her personally, and she hoped that you would be able to enjoy it too, especially when she drove down less-traveled roads with pretty scenery.
Shinazugawa Sanemi:
- When you told him that it was actually you who had been inflicting all of those wounds upon yourself, he would be incredibly shocked and acting upon nothing but pure instinct, he would grab you in a hug, holding you tight to his chest.
- It hurt him to think that you had done, and might still be doing, that to yourself. Was it because of him? He knew that he wasn't the best at showing his feelings, not even to you, and it pained him to think that your self-harm may have been a result of his actions.
- Even though he didn't particularly like doing it, he would sit through stupid, cheesy comedy movies with you, because he loved the way you smiled, and he just wanted to see you smile again, because he loved you so, so, so much, even if he wasn't good at showing it.
- When he found your razors, it was an intense internal struggle for him to not throw them in the trash right away. That was your decision to make, and it was one you would make on your own time. It wasn't up to him.
- He would invite you to go to the gym with him, because he personally found it soothing to spend a few hours running on a treadmill, lifting weights, and beating the ever-loving shit out of a punching bag.
Iguro Obanai:
- Constant head pats. Almost every time you turned around, his hand would be petting your hair reassuringly.
- He would buy you all of your favorite snacks so you could have something to munch on whenever you were feeling down.
- He would have Kaburamaru spend a lot of time with you whenever he couldn't, and the little white snake wouldn't mind at all. He liked the way your hands felt as they stroked his pale scales.
- He would take you on walks in the park or wherever, and sometimes would take you on long train rides to the ocean or a forest, because he found nature soothing and hoped that you would feel the same.
- Lots of silly faces. He loved the way you burst out laughing when he crossed his eyes.
Tokitou Muichirou:
- He would buy you boxes of colorful Band-Aids to put on your cuts so that they would hopefully brighten up your day. There's nothing like an unexpected splash of color to bring a smile to your face.
- Whenever he found bubble wrap, he would stash it away so that whenever you weren't feeling well, the two of you could pop the little plastic air pockets. It was hard not to smile whenever you smashed them. Sometimes he would even put them on the floor so that you could stomp around and enjoy the satisfying little popping noises.
- Sometimes you would find little sticky notes with messages to you on them, in the most random, unexpected places. The shower curtain, the outside of a box of cereal, even on the inside of one of your socks, because he liked surprising you. And each and every one of the little pieces of paper had something inspiring or cute on them, just because.
- He would try his hardest to be more expressive about his love for you, because he secretly wondered if it was his fault for not showing more affection towards the one he loves the most.
Kanroji Mitsuri:
- Tears would be literally STREAMING down her face before you even got the chance to finish talking to her, and snot would be dripping from her nose. She would grasp your hands in hers because it hurt her so much to think that you had felt the need to hurt yourself, and that you hadn't told her until now. It's not like she was mad at you, not at all, she was just worried because she loved you more than there were stars in the sky, and she wanted you to be able to feel comfortable telling her things like this.
- After the fact, she would grab you in a huge bear hug and stay like that for hours, until one or both of you needed to move.
- She would buy you rainbow markers to draw on yourself instead of cutting, and always complimented you on your newest doodles. Even if she couldn't tell what they were, they looked a lot prettier than all those cuts. She wouldn't even mind if you drew on her too, because she just wanted you to be happy.
- Passes for petting zoos so that you could go whenever you wanted for as long as you wanted, because playing with all the bunnies and ducklings could lift a sorry soul like nobody's business. That, and it was so fun to feed them, wasn't it?
- If you so much as mentioned being hungry, she would drag you to a nearby bakery, convenience store, or restaurant and let you order as much as you wanted. It made no matter to her, because she ate a lot anyways, and would always try to feed you.
- She would also ask if you wanted to help her make mochi, because it was her favorite food, and who better to make it with than her favorite person in the whole wide world?
Rengoku Kyoujurou:
- While he couldn't understand why you would do that to yourself, he wanted to be someone that you could rely one, because he loved you and didn't like the idea of you being in pain, self-inflicted or otherwise.
- He would buy you notebooks with cool covers so that you could write down your feelings, and would even have a bonfire with you so that you could crumple up some of the papers and throw them into the fire, and afterwards the two of you would roast marshmallows and the like.
- On that same note, he would watch proudly as you disposed of your razors, because that was a huge step towards getting better, and afterwards he would take you to go get ice cream or whatever you wanted.
- He wouldn't mind letting you play with his hair, even going out in public and totally rocking the new style. If anyone asked, he would cheerfully say that his significant other had styled it just for him, a broad grin across his face.
- And, of course, he would run around the kitchen in sock feet with you, laughing as your feet slid against the smooth flooring, but always catching you before you slipped and slammed into something, because he didn't want you to get hurt.
Uzui Tengen:
- He couldn't stand to see you hurting like that. And when you asked him if he didn't love you anymore because of it, he told you that if anything it had only intensified the already strong feelings he harbored for you.
- He was just glad that you were able to let him know. In his book, that was already a step in the right direction, and he made sure that you heard this.
- Constant encouragement and kind words.
- Seeing as how he was already a pretty big fan of listening to music, he would hold spontaneous dance parties just for the two of you, his Bluetooth speaker blasting out songs by your favorite music artists. It was pretty hard to be sad after two straight hours of dancing to your favorite songs.
- Even if he wasn't always able to be by your side, someone was, usually Hinatsuru, Makio, and/or Suma- he wanted it to be very clear that you weren't fighting this alone, that he would always be there for you, even if he wasn't physically by your side.
Himejima Gyoumei:
- He would be grateful that you had worked up the courage to tell him, though he would still be troubled.
- Lots of prayers; he would pray for you constantly, and even gave you a set of rosary beads. Even if you didn't use them whilst praying, you could still fidget around with them to take your mind off of those unwanted feelings.
- Even though he couldn't physically see the results of what you'd done to yourself, he knew that it must hurt, so he bought you ice cube trays in fun shapes so you could rub them against your skin in place of a blade.
- He would let you wear his clothes whenever you wanted, even though they were much too big for you. As long as you were happy, then so was he.
