i want to study you

Summary:

A half-chat, half-text fic, where Ajax is a foreign student who desperately wants to learn Japanese from Scara, while the latter grows to learn more about himself and his own culture with Ajax's help, and where Yae Miko is assisting Ei to reconnect with her son while Scara finally gets to know what home feels like.

Chapter 1

Notes:

i got the idea for this fic after i spent a year in a foreign environment as an exchange student, so every cultural shock and experience is very real and personal! i really wanted to share what i've learnt about culture and how it affects us with as many people as possible, so i decided to make a fic about it (that's why i had to specify the nationalities of the characters)! i hope you'll enjoy!

btw, it's very important to mention that the way i view characters is heavily impacted by my favourite artists, so if you wanna know how i imagine ajax and scara you should absolutely check @_sonagee 's, @oililylou 's and @wiistef 's works on twt if you don’t alredy know them!!

I HAVE ONE MORE WARNING!!! the work might seem very, very silly at first (because it was supposed to be silly originally), but then everything gets quite serious (bc i started taking this fic seriously ._.), so if you're also looking for a fic with a thoroughly thought-through plot, this work might actually be the one (it's still silly at times and i don't claim to be a genius plot-maker, but i try my best)

enjoyyyyy!!!~~

23 april (7:21 pm)

scara:
um
i think my mom has a girlfriend??

kazuha:
i'm not a girl

scara:
fuck you
that's not funny anymore 

kazuha:
so it was funny at some point?

scara:
I HATE YOUUU

heizou:
EXCUSE ME????
don't you wanna elaborate??

scara:
what's there to say even?

heizou:
why do you think she has a girlfriend???
isn't she homophobic or something??

scara:
she was??????
idk she's been too happy recently
she's never happy

kazuha:
you take that after her

scara:
i will tell your dad you smoke

kazuha:
i will tell your mom you kiss boys

scara:
i don't think it'll be a problem anymore

kazuha:
scara admitted to kissing boys caught in 4k

scara:
and i DO NOT kiss boys

kazuha:
too late, screenshot stored securely in a hidden folder, will be used later for blackmail 

heizou:
scara 

scara:
right right
so, there's a colleague of hers
she's been picking mom up in the mornings first and they would go to work together 
but then mom started inviting her further in than just the threshold, so at some point we started having breakfast altogether
and then a few days ago i overslept as all of you might know

kazuha:
you say it as if you don't oversleep every two days

scara:
you don't sleep at night, you're one to talk

kazuha:
i visit more classes than you do

heizou:
debatable

scara:
who cares?? we're graduating this year

kazuha:
don't remind me...

heizou:
will there be a continuation?....
' and then a few days ago i overslept as all of you might know '

scara:
right so
i knew mom was going on a business trip that day, so she didn't go to work in the morning and when i woke up i heard some shuffling in the hall and then the door closed, so i assumed that she left, that's why i decided to get out of my room
and that's when i saw my mother making out with said colleague right by the door

heizou:
OH GOD
did they notice you??

scara: 
i don't know x_x
i tiptoed to the kitchen and after a few more secondss of shuffling and whispering both of them left and i pretty much didn't talk to mom since then

kazuha:
why didn't you tell us earlier if it happened a few days ago

scara:
i was wrapping my mind around it...

kazuha:
how's that going
not too good apparently

scara:
not good...

heizou:
i don't see what the problem is though??
okay, your mom has a girlfriend, so what??
i mean knowing your parent has a partner who's not biologically connected to you might be difficult to accept at first, but is that really that surprising that your mom has a love life going on

kazuha:
especially when your mother is so hot

scara:
you don't like women

kazuha:
i respect them

scara:
you have not heard of respect 

heizou:
it's the same as having a boyfriend, isn't it??

scara:
heizou you don't get it
how did your parents react when you came out?

heizou:
well, they were stunned at first
then they were very mad at me, but hey, have you seen me
they had to accept it eventually

scara:
you see??? now i understand how your parents felt
it's like my own mother kinda came out to me
i can't fucking believe it even 
and you want me to accept it already??

heizou:
but what's so hard about it?? you're not even homophobic
you know kazuha and i are gay and you're fine with it

scara:
it's different!! i know kazuha since high school, and you came out to me on the second year of uni
i had plenty of time to ponder on it

heizou:
you pondered on it?

scara:
well 
not for too long, after all i did think you two were dating each other 

kazuha:
lol

heizou:
don't you dare lol about our situationship

kazuha:
i get scara actually 
when i found out he was straight i had the same reaction

scara:
now why is that

kazuha:
do you ever look in the mirror?
twinkinator 2000

heizou:
lmao true

scara:
what did you call me
i'll beat you to death
with a mud block
tomorrow, 7 pm, my place
bring your laptop, we're playing minecraft
heizou bring yourself

heizou:

kazuha:
gotcha

i forgot to remind you in the evening 

scara:

kazuha:

the foreigners

scara:

kazuha:
nope
if you don't come, there won't be enough natives 
and the teacher would kick our asses

scara:

kazuha:
you're gonna be fine
it's purely a one-time speaking club
you just need to talk to them, that's it

scara:
you know how bad my english is

kazuha:
scara, they're learning japanese
speaking english is prohibited during such events

scara:
:// alright 

kazuha:
there's just this thing

scara:
what....

kazuha:
i think i might be late

scara: 
why is that

kazuha:
father asked me to show up at his office to help with some shit after classes
and you know how he is, there's no way to convince him to have things my way when he's already made a decision 

scara:
i know
okay....
promise you'd still be there
i have no clue how this thing works

kazuha:
me too, scara

scara:
how tf did you even sign us in?

kazuha:

scara:

kazuha:
