Mutsurie being happy? If that’s ok? My heart still hurts

GUYS. I WILL NEVER NOT CRY FOR MUTSURIE. 

– Urie was probably forced into confessing by Touka. Emboldened that Touka snagged Kaneki by asking “are you a virgin,” Urie writes out personal and awkward questions to ask Mutsuki and weighs each one.

– He finally settles for “are you open to dating other men.”

– Mutsuki is very taken aback, but sweet. “Of course.”

– Urie: *face beet red* “I AM TOO.” *voice cracks* 

– Mutsuki: “U – Urie?”

Urie: *panics* “Oh fuck me”. *realizes* “WAIT not like that! I didn’t mean it like that! I just meant – I like you – maybe -” *ducks from an apple Touka sends hurling across the cafe* “okay not maybe – I really like you!”

– Mutsuki is stunned. “Are you…asking me out?”

– Urie nods. That’s about all he can manage.

– Mutsuki’s heart beats so happily he fears exploding. He’s leaning closer and closer to Urie, trying to see if Urie is sincere, if he’s real, if this is really happening…

– Touka sees both of their distress and casually approaches to inform Urie that coffee is free for them both, so Urie better have a nice date planned for this evening.

I’m so so happy you’re feeling at least a bit more okay ♡. Can you maybe write something where Uta’s ex girlfriend and Yomo have a chat and she blurts out that she “totally knew Uta was into him”?

“How long did you take to realize you had feelings for him?” Uta’s ex is a lanky woman in a slinky dress, with exotic makeup and more glitter than the sun. Very much Yomo’s opposite.

“Uh…” Yomo mutters. His face turns red.

“Aw, you’re adorable,” she coos. “I’m really not mad, Renji. I’ve got my eye on others, don’t you worry.”

Yomo rolls his eyes. “I am not worried.”

“Then answer the question!”

Yomo yanks his coffee cup to his mouth and chugs. “Shortly after I came to Anteiku.”

She blinks. “That long, huh? Before I was dating Uta.”

“Yup.” He shrugs, as if it were nothing. “I never tried to interfere, I promise.”

“I know you didn’t Renji.” She pokes his nose.”You’re an honorable sort.”

She sighs. “Well, I suppose that’s why you did interfere. In a sense.”

“Huh?”

“I totally knew Uta was into you!” she blurts out. “It was obvious. I felt like I was holding you two back, a distraction so he could avoid his feelings for you.”

She snaps her fingers with a satisfied smirk. “And after all these years, here I am, finally winning our last argument.”

Yomo chuckles, partially with relief, partially with amazement. Uta loved him back then, too? How much time have they wasted by not allowing themselves to live? 

Well, they won’t waste anymore. 

“I’ll take officiating your vows as proper payment,” she adds, sending a thrill through Renji’s stomach.

Life is good to live. 

How would you suggest trying to write characters from Tokyo Ghoul, this is something I struggle with, especially with Uta

Okay but to be FAIR Uta is an enigma, even for his bestie/husbando Yomo, so you’re not alone there. 

It depends. I take any and all insights into their characters revealed by the manga, and sometimes I like researching any psychological roots of their idiosyncrasies. And sometimes I try to imagine what kind of background they’d have to turn out the way they are. 

Other suggestions: What’s a situation that might startle the character? Make them question their life? Make them angry? Sad? Happy? What would it take for them to fall in love? What would scare them? 

If you don’t know, make it up yourself. And roll with your ideas until it suits them.

You can be as creative as you want. 🙂
