When a Character Is Grieving Someone They Never Got to Say Goodbye To

✧ They talk about the person in past tense… then correct themselves. Then stop talking entirely.

✧ They touch things that belonged to the person like they’re fragile, sacred, about to disappear.

✧ They hoard the last voicemail, last message, last anything. Play it. Don’t play it. Just knowing it exists hurts enough.

✧ They leave something untouched, an empty seat, a half-packed bag, a coffee order that isn’t theirs.

✧ They get irrationally angry when someone else seems to be “moving on.” As if forgetting is betrayal.

✧ They don’t let themselves cry all at once. It comes in pieces. Like they’re afraid too much grief will drown them.

✧ They over-apologize. For being quiet. For being distant. For not being okay.

✧ They become hyper-aware of time, dates, anniversaries, time zones, the exact moment everything ended.

✧ They get superstitious. Ritualistic. As if doing things "right" might reverse something.

✧ They smile when they talk about the person. But it’s brittle. And it never quite touches their eyes.

The contrast between Kaito's dynamics with Shinichi and Hakuba respectively is so important to me you don't understand

Shinichi/Conan doesn't know who KID is under the mask. I doubt he even knows who Kaito Kuroba is outside of him being Toichi Kuroba's son and maybe some childhood interactions. To him, KID is just a criminal, more honor-bound and considerably less deadly compared to the ones he usually catches, but still a criminal at the end of the day. But maybe the thought that Shinichi doesn't know Kaito Kuroba (that even if he drops the KID act, if he starts to act more like his civilian persona around him, he wouldn't know any better), gives him a false sense of security. Maybe it makes him feel more free to be careless around him.

(Deep down, however, he knows he's given out enough that if Shinichi ever does meet Kaito Kuroba, his secret identity would disintegrate almost immediately.

Sometimes he thinks that might not be so bad.)

Hakuba, meanwhile, does know who KID is under the mask. He sees his civilian self almost everyday in class. He's seen him as the prankster magician who annoys the rest of the class with his antics. He knows he's childhood friends with the daughter of the inspector in charge of putting him behind bars. Hakuba knows him as Kaito Kuroba. But he also knows him as KID. Hakuba, while he doesn't have evidence, already knows his secret identity. And that is exactly what makes him a threat. Which is why he can't let his guard down around him. The least he can give himself is plausible deniability and if he slips up in his act, either as KID or as Kaito, that plausible deniability would be gone.

(Deep down, though, he recognizes how Hakuba is still so civil with him despite it all, that, even with his determination to capture him, Hakuba still cares about him as a fellow classmate (as a friend).

And if that makes him slip up sometimes, well, who could say?)

Teru Minamoto we understand you

Do you think he'd feel better if I gave him these

He'd make this face

Ideas to Show Secret Pining

"Why don't you join me?"

"I'll give you a ride, don't worry."

*does something they don't like* "What? I like it."

*immense staring at every chance they get*

*thinking of their crush while listening to songs*

"You said you liked it so I brought it for you."

*finds ways to spend more time with them*

*friendly bullying intensifies*

"I'm looking forward to seeing you there."

"Are you gonna be there?"

"How about we sneak off, just you and me?"

"Why don't I cook for them? What's their favourite dish again?"

*aggressive google searches about how to propose to your crush*

"I'll join those dance lessons, maybe then she'll notice me."

*hopeless around them*

*failed flirting attempts*

*increased compliments*

"My problem is that I like them a little too much for my sanity."

*gets jealous* "So, are you seeing them or something?"

"Are you okay?" // "Completely okay!" (definitely not okay)

*tries to sabotage their crush's date*

*gets into trouble so they can be scolded by their crush*

"I want you to come with me, please?"

Thank you for your services 🙏 Have a peek at some Akane angst for your troubles

Hello, one of the like. 5 fellow koukane shippers on Tumblr, I'm writing a koukane future au kind of in a scenario where they failed to reverse the severance so Aoi and the supernaturals are still gone and 7 years have passed before Kou and Akane reunite for the first time

The temptation to make this into a multi chapter slowburn is growing stronger and stronger so maybe you have some ideas on what sort of shenanigans 22 y/o law firm intern Akane and 21 y/o small diner owner (and kind of single parent to Tiara) Kou can get up to as they slowly fall in love? :D

Failed severance immediately makes me think of angst: Kou dreams of being an exorcist no longer being achievable. Akane still carrying his watch around, maybe taking care of potted plants in honor of Aoi. Classmates not knowing who they are grieving, and such, but its been 7 years, I doubt either would talk about the severance...

hyugyu I'll try not to go full angst, here are some ideas:

It's been 7 years. Akane would be a bit intrigued/horrified that Kou looks a lot like Teru now, he is not a kid anymore. He can't help but stare when he cook cause it feels wrong.

If Teru is dead in this AU, (I can't help but worry when you said Kou is alone in raising Tiara...) then seeing their resemblance could make Akane find it hard to look at Kou in the eye. He feels guilty or tired or something near Kou at first.

Akane using his knowladge to let Kou know of some obscure civil law that would allow Kou to get some government money to support him and his sister, so that Kou doesn't have to overwork.

Kou giving Akane little treats after a hellish day at the firm and Akane associating his small diner with comfort.

Kou probably does 'delivery' to his close friends, so he can add Akane to his delivery list. He probably get intimidated by his firm at first but starts to look forward to it after a while, Akane is just always so annoyed/overworked, and he alwyas lit up when Kou have enough time in his own work to brings him a nice snack.

The severance aniversary making them gloomy. Usually they stew in their own misery but when together they focus on how the other is miserable and try to cheer each other up instead. May end in frustration, may end in an emotional, if very awkward, heart to heart.

Kou worried Tiara is alone a lot and Akane trying to make Kou trust his neighbours to help look after her since he isn't in an exorcist family anymore, there are no secrets. Kou really hates the reminder his family is no longer of exorcist, so the talk eventually scalates to "She can have a sleepover at my place if you're too tired to babysit. I got some books she can read while I organize papers."

Akane claiming he'll Kou be be less overprotective of Tiara and accidentally becoming protective of her too.

Nene realizing what's up and trying to play cupid to distract her own lonely grieving heart and because she genuinely want her friends to be happy
