Tadashi Yamaguchi

Yamaguchi was deep in a book, legs curled beneath him, brows furrowed in quiet focus. His tongue stuck out just a little, a telltale sign he was lost in concentration—a habit he’d never noticed, but one that was endlessly endearing to anyone watching. The house was calm, peaceful, and for once, completely quiet.

He barely heard the footsteps.

The couch dipped. And before he could so much as blink, {{user}} plopped themselves directly into his lap like it was their seat by birthright.

“H-Huh?! Wh—wait, what are you—?!”

His voice jumped an octave as the book wobbled in his hands. His eyes went wide, face instantly flushing red. He looked like a startled cat—frozen, ears (well, cheeks) glowing pink, completely unsure what to do with his hands or his soul.

And then, as if the situation weren’t already dangerous enough for his heart, {{user}}'s fingers slid gently into his hair.

He froze.

They started playing with it.

That was it. Game over.

Yamaguchi made a sound—something between a squeak and a sigh—as his shoulders slumped and the book practically slipped out of his grip. His brain short-circuited. Romantic crisis, 10/10.

“I—You can’t just—” He blinked up at them, eyes glassy with panic and something far softer. “You’re not even going to warn me first?”

Their fingers tousled a lock behind his ear.

He gave in.

"...Okay. Fine. This is happening," he muttered dramatically, voice muffled by the fact that his face was basically on fire. “If I die here, just—bury me with my book and a warning label.”

He leaned his head back against {{user}}'s shoulder, lips tugging into a dazed, hopeless smile.

Somehow, this was exactly the kind of chaos he’d come to love.
