You know who I haven’t seen on this blog in a long time? The Uihai family! Do you have any fluffy headcanons to share?

– Hairu was as boisterous as Masanori when they visited Disneyland. Her favorite ride was the teacups. 

– Masanori preferred the swings, and Ui, the Haunted Mansion.

– Hairu then teased Ui about having a dark side.

– Ui vomited after the teacups, after he went on them over and over for Hairu’s sake.

– Hairu and Masanori have discovered a new addiction: cotton candy.

– Until Ui discovers that he’s addicted, too.

– The Uihai parents decide they cannot have it in their home. Because it’s dangerous.

– But every time Masanori sneaks it in (and he does, thanks to his many mischievous friends), they are secretly delighted. 

First kiss for Uihai ;)

It happened unexpectedly, because Hairu was always unexpected. 

Hairu was running along a fence, balancing with exceptional skill, and Ui was rushing below her. 

And then she slipped , and he tried to catch her – and accidentally found her chest in his face.

“I’m sorry!” UI squawked, stumbling backwards.

“For what? You caught me.” Hairu smiled and leaned forward, and then her lips were on his.

Ui froze, but just for a moment. Then he kissed her back with all the passion Ui Koori had ever possessed in his life.

Ryo planning to propose to Koharu but Ui and Hairu accidentally interrupt.

Based on @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”

Ryo draws Koharu closer as they stumble off the merry-go-round. 

“Even ghouls get dizzy,” he jokes.

“Apparently.” Koharu smiles at him, and his palms begin to sweat. Because there’s a ring in the back of his pocket.

He pulls her beside the ride. Gaggles of children race by, followed by their beleaguered parents. 

He wants that. He wants to be those parents. With Koharu.

“I, uh, Koharu,” he fumbles.

“What’s wrong, Ryo?” Koharu eyes him.

“Koharu! Ui won’t go on the teacups with me!” Hairu races up towards them. The cute woman Ryo wants for a sister-in-law.

And the brother-in-law follows her, shakings head. “I’ll throw up.”

“Us Uis aren’t made for spinning rides,” Koharu says with a grin. “But, Ui, you’ll get to slide into Hairu.”

“Do’t you want to slide into me?” Hairu pleads.

“I mean, I do, but I also don’t want to vomit on you,” Ui exclaims. 

“Pleeeeeease,” Hairu begs.

Ui’s shoulders slump. “Fine.”

His eyes narrow at Ryo’s hand, which is in his back pocket. “You look nervous, Ryo.”

“I’m fine.”

“Are you really going to send us away?” Ui threatens.

“Fuck off!”

“No!”

“What’s going on?” Hairu asks, puzzled.

Koharu gasps. “Ryo, you’re not -”

“Pretty sure he is!” Hairu claps her hands.

Ryo’s face is now scarlet as he drops to his knees. This is totally not what he expected, but with this family, unexpected seems the norm. “Ui Koharu, will you marry me?”

“Yes,” Koharu whispers before he even finishes his question. 

To go along with the Koharu and Hairu friendship scenarios, how about some Ryo and Ui ‘friendship’ scenarios?

Based on @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”

– The friendship begins as all true friendships do, with lots of taunts from Ryo and threats from Ui

– Ryo has definitely painted a bowl to look like Ui’s upside-down head. 

– Ui then threw human food in it. Just to annoy Ryo over what he cannot eat.

– To which Ryo responds with a remark about eating Ui’s sister…

– Ui.exe ceases to function for a while

– They find common ground over Ui’s attempts to quit smoking, of all things. Ryo is nonjudgemental and encouraging, and he doesn’t mind being around the smell of smoke whenever Ui relapses. 

– Ui asks Ryo to dispose of his cigarettes, and he gladly does.

– When Ui finds out Ryo’s life story, he gives him an understanding pat on the shoulder that shows acceptance and empathy. It means so much to Ryo, he considers mentioning his plans to marry Koharu. 

masanori kidnaps oscar the otter

Based on @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”

“Masanori, what is this?” Hairu holds up a brilliantly fluffy, well-loved animal her son has hidden under his bed.

“Nothing,” Masanori says evasively.

“It looks like Brooke’s missing toy.”

Masanori pouts. “It’s not.”

“Masanori, are you lying?” Ui asks sternly, coming up behind Hairu. 

Their child squeaks. “Yes.”

“Well, at least you admit it.” Ui sighs. “Hairu, can you call Brooke?”

“But I like otters! I wanna cuddle it!” Masanori grabs the animal.

“We can get you your own otter,” Hairu assures him. “But we don’t steal, Masanori.”

“Why?” Masanori frowns. “I wanted it more.”

“Are you sure?” Ui asks slowly. He’s never had someone ask why stealing is wrong before. He just assumed everyone knew that. 

“Yes.” Masanori sticks out his lip.

Ui chuckles. “Then…then you could have asked Brooke. I’m sure she’d let you borrow it, but without asking she thought he’d vanished and she was very worried.”

“Oh.” Masanori looks concerned, to Ui’s relief. Maybe he is breaking through, after all.

Kids. They make him continually question morality. 

ryoichi meets ui for the first time and ui is protective over his sister

From @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”

Ui glowers at this redheaded ghoul whose arm is casually draped around his sister. “Who are you?” 

“Ryoichi.”

“Do you have another name?” Ui winces. Wait. Not all ghouls do. He didn’t mean to be a complete asshole, just a mild one.

“Ryoichi Takeo,” Koharu says, smiling at her boyfriend. He brushes his lips against her forehead, and Ui growls.

“Koharu!” Hairu bounds outside, baby Masanori on her hip, waving them both in.  “Welcome!”

“Thanks!” Koharu scampers towards her nephew.

“Just a second,” Ui whispers in Ryiochi’s ear.

“Yeah?” Ryoichi grins. He can tell he’s pissing this brother off, but since all of Koharu’s stories involve her pissing him off, he’s honestly not sure how else to interact with Brother-Stick-In-The-Mud. 

“If you – if you try to eat her – I – I will make sure you die slowly and painfully. I’ll eat you,” Ui seethes. 

Ryoichi’s eyes widen. Just slightly. 

“Ui, I swear to God, if you actually said that eating line,” Hairu breaks in. “I’ll…I’ll take up smoking.”

Ui whimpers. “But I gave up cigarettes.”

“I didn’t,” Hairu says sweetly. “Shall I test your resolve?”

“No,” he says quickly. “Fine, fine, any wild friend of my sister’s is welcome.”

“We’re more than friends,” Koharu says. Ryoichi’s face turns as red as his hair.

Good, Ui thinks with another obligatory glare. 

Ui is afraid of spiders!

“Oh my god, get it away from me!” Ui bursts out, skittering behind Hairu. 

“Huh?” She looks up in puzzlement. “Oh!”

Hairu laughs at the spider gracefully descending from the ceiling. “I think it’s lovely.”

UI shakes his head. “One of you brave ghoul investigators, kill it.” 

“Nah,” says Hirako, leaning back in his chair. “Spiders don’t bother me.” 

“Are you crazy?” Ui hisses.

“I’m a child and you’re the adult,” Shio protests.

“I like it,” says Yusa.

“Ui, save us,” says Rikai.

Hairu rolls her eyes. “How about I capture it and take it outside?”

It’s weird, she thinks, as she coaxes the creature onto a paper towel. She’s showing more mercy to an arachnid than a ghoul.

She waves the captive spider before Ui, who blanches.

“Can we keep him?” Yusa asks.

“NO.” Ui shivers.

Would he shiver at me? Hairu wonders.

She turns to leave, onto to run into Arima. “Say hello to our spy, Arima!”

Arima scrambles back. “Get – it – away!”

Hirako chortles. “We’ve found Arima Kishou’s secret kryptonite!” 

I’m lowkey shipping Yusa and Niji after that little bit you wrote please may I ask for a confused Yusa asking Ui for advice?

Lol yessss I am too.

“Ui?” Yusa asks Ui a few days after the attack Tokyo. Kaneki Ken is recovering in Tokyo’s best hospital, and ghouls and humans are negotiating. 

“Yes?” Ui hesitates. He still feels guilty that he kept condemning ghouls in the presence of a half-ghoul like Yusa. He was so ignorant.

“How did you know you liked Hairu?” 

Ui stills. “Uh…You knew that?”

“You weren’t trying to get Arima back, but you trying for Hairu. Besides, Shio has been convinced for over a year,” Yusa admits. 

Ui colors. “Well, Yusa…yes, I love Ihei Hairu. It hasn’t even stopped with her gone.”

“What is love like?”

“Love is…” Ui sighs. “Well, it can start with a fluttering in your chest, or a tingling in your stomach. Or a realization that you are interested in spending the rest of your life with them. Or the desire to do everything in your power give them the best in life. Love can be like a lot of things.” 

“But what is it?” Yusa presses. He definitely gets heart flutters when he sees Niji, the rainbow ghoul who’s charmed even CCG’s staunchest.

“A deep, affectionate feeling for someone,” Ui says. “According to the dictionary. Magic, according to Disney. Drugs. Fire. Who knows.”

He wishes love was magic enough to raise the dead.

“Is this person a ghoul?” Ui asks with a knowing smile.

“It’s…yeah…” Yusa mumbles, his face red. 

“I think love is magic enough to give you a chance with them.” Ui pats his shoulder. “You’ll feel better if you tell her, I assure you.”

Magic. Somewhere, there’s still a part of him that thinks if Yusa can date a cute rainbowed ghoul, Hairu can return. 

More princess Niji! I miss her!

I MISS HER TOO!

After Kaneki goes into dragon-mode, Niji finds herself in the forest with Touka and the others. As soon as she sees Shuu, she lets out a cry and flings herself into his arms.

“It’s okay, shh,” Tsukiyama tells her, rubbing her hair as he hugs her.

As soon as Touka tells him what Kaneki has become, Tsukiyama collapses. Now Niji and Chie comfort him as best they can. 

When Itori appears to convince the remnants of Goat to fight humans, Tsukiyama hesitates. A part of him, too, wants justice for his family, and always will.

But then he sees Niji’s narrow eyes. She pokes him in horror.

He remembers Kaneki and what he would want. Squeezing Niji’s hand, he closes his eyes and screams: “SHUT UP!”  

When the ghouls arrive at CCG, Niji lets out a cry as soon as Yusa appears. Where are Shio, and Rikai? Could they – no, no, no!

Yusa sees her and stumbles towards her. She races up to capture him in an embrace, sobbing the names of their friends.

Ui’s eyes widen at this feminine kid who looks like a boy, who’s grabbing Yusa and comforting him beyond what Ui himself could manage. Finally, Yusa is showing emotion. 

“This is my friend Niji,” Yusa says to Ui. “Shio nicknamed her the rainbow princess.”

“And she’s my friend, so if you hurt her, I eat you,” Tsukiyama warns.

Ui nods. “It’s nice to meet you, Niji.”

She hisses at him.

“I’m sorry,” Ui blurts out.

“Me too,” she says then, crying again and reaching for him.

Ui is baffled, but sure. He’ll hug her. Maybe that’s what he needs, too.
