A/N: Featuring some prompts suggested by my followers & answering questions!
Warning: some NSFW content
How old are Kazuya and Daitou? What do they do on their birthdays?
I imagined both to be in their early to mid 30s.
Kazuya is used to spending his birthday with others. As a kid, all the brothel girls would get him a cake and celebrate before work hours. Now he probably just takes his buddies out for drinks. Although he doesn't forget to bring something nice for the ladies that raised him.
Daitou has no clue when he was born, nor any recollection of a birthday festivity. So Boss came up with the idea of celebrating on the day he was found. He used to take Daitou out to a nice restaurant, just the two of them. Afterwards Kazuya took over the role and then, well, Reader. So now it's up to you. :)
Would Daitou every be okay sharing with Kazuya?
That's a good question and I've been wondering about it, too, given the love triangle request.
As the story stands, I suspect not. Daitou claimed Reader and he can be very possessive. He has few things he cares about in life, but those few things are his and his only.
Additionally, I think there would be a lot of jealousy and resentment coming from both sides. Kazuya is good looking and charismatic and so Daitou would constantly worry you'd prefer someone like him instead. On the other hand, Daitou is insanely strong and no one could ever stand up against him, so Kazuya would be paranoid about not measuring up as a man. Given Daitou was the one to ask you out, he probably has that childish clinginess of finders keepers. Kazuya can have anyone else in this world, but Reader is specifically for him.
Only way I see this working out is if Reader gets closer to both and no one has made any claims yet. So it'd be a mutual agreement of "You like Reader, I like Reader, I suppose we have no choice but share".
Hello Ozz!! My friend recently told me about a game trilogy called Yakuza! I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but it made me think of yandere!yakuza. How would they feel about the game? Would they think its accurate, or would they disagree with it?
I think the boys would very much enjoy the game idea. Hell, Daitou is very similar to the protagonist if you exclude the murderous tendencies. As to whether they'd play it...
"You got to be kidding me", Kazuya would say, looking at you incredulously. "Am I not already working as a full-time yakuza? Why would I want to spend even my free time collecting debt and chasing thugs? Come on, (Y/N), be serious. I'd rather just hang out with you."
Daitou would probably give it a try and end up being amused by the unrelated minigames.
"Am I misunderstanding something, (Y/N)?" he'll ask, a little miffed. "Is this how you hit your enemy?"
"Yes?"
"It's just a punch. Is this all I have?"
"What...What else would there be?" you probe, mildly afraid.
"I don't know, knifing their throat? Shooting them? Crushing their-"
"It's not that kind of game", you conclude, patting your boyfriend on the shoulder.
If it's alright, I wanted to ask what would Daitou's reaction be if reader asked him if he ever wanted kids with her?
He would be absolutely shocked. Not because he doesn't want to have children, he just never, ever considered it. Hell, having a partner was already kind of a stretch in his head.
Might even be one of those funny misunderstandings again. He'll go quiet and furrow his brows and Reader will think he's entirely against it. She'll drop the subject, dejected, and just tell herself it's fine either way. But Daitou continues being aloof and at some point she'll break down and nervously ask him why he's been so upset. She didn't think the topic of children would be such a sore spot and regrets asking in the first place.
Turns out this dumbass just started ruminating on the idea all by himself, to the point of tackling unnecessarily specific, nonexistent issues.
"I just can't come up with names."
"Huh?"
He'll search his pocket and pull out a bunch of crumpled notes.
"Best thing I have currently is this, for a boy. It's my favorite microwave meal brand."
Ngl, I'd be in love with daitou's tattoos and would want to see All Of Them. They're so interesting! And I wanna touch em.
You hand Daitou another tissue.
"How did you even catch a cold in the midst of summer?" you ask, somewhat incredulous.
The yakuza man lets out another hearty sneeze.
"I guess I stood in the rain for too long, heh."
A raspy chuckle escapes his mouth. Indeed, last night had been storming and he'd been tasked to discard the bodies from a recent gang fight. Less hassle with the police that way.
Obviously, he can't tell you that, especially since Kazuya gave him a proper scolding last time he was too generous with the gory details. "What's the matter with you? Why don't you just hand her a bone saw and ask her to hold the trash bags, too? Fuck's sake..."
"Don't worry too much about me, miss (Y/N). I've had worse." He smiles and turns slightly, pointing behind with his thumb. "After my back piece, I thought I was going to die!"
You raise your eyebrows.
"The tattoo? How would that make you sick?"
"I've had all my stuff done the old-fashioned way. Everyone in our Family has been going to the same artist for longer than I've been around."
Daitou raises his hands and gestures the act.
"You use a thin bamboo tool with a needle at one end. Like woodblock carving, y'know? One swift move. Takes a lot of skill, 'specially for linework. It's actually less painful this way, although it's much slower compared to a machine.
Now here's the thing, back in the day pigments were made in a way that caused immune reactions from the body. So for a day or two after your tattoo, you'd have high fever, lethargy, stuff like that. They've improved the formula since, or so I hear. Our old man refuses to switch. 'What? Ya scared of a little heat? Yakuza tattoos aren't for everyone, go back home if you can't handle it, punk!', he likes to say. It's like a manly thing for him, y'know.
My back tattoo, that one took the longest. After the final session, I had the worst fever of my life. Couldn't get out of bed for days!"
He ponders for a moment and grins.
"What's so funny?"
"Would've been nice to know you back then, miss. Just havin' you here makes me feel better already, hehe."
Hello Ozz! Me and my roomate just finished your yakuza series and we really loved it! Funnily enough, my roomate really likes Daitou while I actually like Kazuya a bit more. It got me thinking, what if two roomates moved into the apartment? Then both boys would get their share.
Yandere! Yakuza AU where two broke student Readers (you and your bestie) struggle to find a cheap apartment close to university. You finally stumble upon a suspiciously accessible place, only to discover it's rented out by the local yakuza Family. You turn to each other with a knowing gaze: a deal's a deal. You both sign without hesitation.
The ridiculously affordable apartment isn't the only thing too good to be true. Kazuya was the first one to break the ice, ears perking up at the knowledge that two cute foreign students just moved into their housing. Even more shocking is that one of them seems to be acting all flirty with his friend, Daitou. Which is a miracle in itself: Daitou is one scary bastard. Last time his eye lingered one second too long towards one of their female workers, she ran away in tears. And here he is now, laughing and chitchatting with some college youngster.
Jackpot, the blonde tells himself, lighting another cigarette.
"Hey! No smoking indoors", you shout, noticing the offender. Your friend agrees with you.
The man sighs and shrugs, shoving his pack back inside his coat pocket.
"What was the saying? Prepare for trouble, and make it double?" he remarks jokingly, approaching the group.
Yakuza reacting to Y/N reading The Way of the House Husband for a starving soul?
Daitou is intrigued by the idea and asks if he can borrow the first few volumes. The next day, he comes to return them. "Didn't like it?", you question him. Quite the opposite. He finished everything, and went to the store to buy all the volumes to date.
He is terribly amused by the plot and likes to imagine it's just how your married life would look like. If only it'd be this peaceful for the both of you, too. He smiles fondly at the thought, squeezing the blood out of his shirt. As he puts his tools away, he realizes a droplet had made it to the cover of the manga he was reading. Damn it! He'd been flipping through the pages while waiting for the latest interrogation to die.
Kazuya may tease you about it. "Oh, is that the kind of stuff you like, (Y/N)? You want a househusband?" He'll pretend to ponder the possibility with a grin.
You like showing him chapters you consider funny, and sometimes ask him if the depictions are realistic. "This actually reminds me of something that happened to one of our underlings", he'll begin. You listen to his story intently, and once he's finished, he'll ruffle your hair, chuckling at your focused expression. "Maybe I should reach out to the mangaka to give them some inspiration, huh?"
Boss finds it funny, and might go through some pages just to have something in common to talk about with you. You wonder if he finds it puerile or inaccurate, but an entirely different discovery is made: he's terrible with household chores.
"Wait, is that how you do the laundry?" he'll ask in genuine shock, staring at the panels.
"You didn't...know?" you retort, raising your eyebrows.
"Wow. I'm learning a lot of things."
He laughs and flips another page. You suddenly realize why he's banned from using a kitchen or why his help is always denied when it comes to menial chores.
How would the Yakuza characters react to the idea of having children?
You may think of Boss as old-fashioned, but he's seen a fair amount of depravity back in the day. Before gambling was deemed illegal in Japan, he'd owned several casinos in big districts like Ginza and Kabukichō, and consequently spent a lot of time in various parlors. Unlike many of his men, however, he never really cared much for adult entertainment. In his drunken rants he used to say that women would be his downfall, and no one would want to be involved with him, anyways.
He might be into you calling him daddy, although you should expect a lot of dad jokes to go with it. He's a silly old man like that. Could be interested in shibari, because it takes a lot of patience and skill and he'd probably enjoy taking his time and gazing at you after each knot. It's quiet and intimate, and he gets to tease you about it afterwards, especially if it's an arrangement to go under your clothes. "What's the matter, (Y/N) love? Tongue tied?"
His recurring humor around his age makes you wonder if he'd even be interested in children. When you finally bring up the topic, Boss is very casual about it. "Sure", he'll say with a grin, "whatever the missus wants." You suspect he's not taking you seriously, but after settling you on his lap and having a hearty laugh about it, he'll conclude, this time with confidence: "Have a look outside this room. See all those rascals? I raised them! Ya think I can't handle a bunch of kids?"
Daitou can be surprisingly (and unintentionally) kinky, especially if you encourage him to. He'll apologize the day after for being too rough, even if you tell him it's fine and you quite literally asked for it (See ). Overall, though, I'd say it depends entirely on you. He can be dominant or submissive, according to your wishes. You can go all out with him, he's sturdier than most and takes great pride in it. If you're into more extreme hobbies like knife play, you're certainly in good hands.
Daitou lives in the moment and hasn't really planned too far ahead. Such is the life of a yakuza: you never know when you might lose a limb or more in the next gang fight. He's therefore quite surprised by your proposal of having children in the future. Is it even something realistic for someone like him? On the other hand, it's hard to refuse that enthusiastic smile you're flashing at him each time the topic comes up. "Do you, uh...", he begins one day while looking at baby toys in the store. He fidgets with his prosthetic eye nervously. "Do you really think I'd make a good dad? Heh."
Kazuya can be quite kinky and loves teasing you in public about it. Last time you were hanging out with him and his underlings, you happened to pass by a park bench you'd recently used during your nightly strolls together. "This location is familiar", he'll hum with a smirk. "Isn't this where we...ah. Nevermind." Despite your frequent protests, he always struggles to keep his mouth shut. Can you really blame him for wanting to brag to others? You're an undeniable catch.
"Kids?" he repeats with a raised eyebrow. Good question, although something he's considered many times already. What, you thought he wouldn't notice your curious glances whenever some woman walks by with a baby stroller? He pretends to ponder your suggestion and declares after a long moment: "Well, you'd certainly make a great milf, and I obviously can't have anyone else do the honors." He picks you up with a mischievous grin on his face. "When do we start?"
