Headcanon: Roommate!Rikuo Sakurauchi

• ok so this story begins with you
• a broke ass aspiring actor
• working part time as a waitress in a small café
• who needs a place to stay
• luckily for you-
• there is an ad in the newspaper
• which contains info for an apartment that's surprisingly in your pay range
• so you go in for an interview
• and meet the most beautiful boy you've ever seen
• like srsly is this dude a celebrity?
• he has such nICE SKIN
• you hadn't expected to get a callback
• but you did
• and YAY new roomie!
• you learn his name is Rikuo Sakurauchi
• and he's an aspiring composer
• HE'S AN ARTSY GUY TOO
• at this point, you're just trying not to fall too hard for the guy
• at first, he was kinda intimidating
• until you saw him playing something at like six in the morning
• it was like the first week you moved in and you two were still awkward-
• you clapped after his performance cuz WOW
• and he saw you & was all blushy blushy
• that's when you realized this dude was just a softie in slanted disguise
• he's literally the sweetest
• he offers to buy all the groceries & just asks what you want from the store cuz he was on his way anyway
• he also does a lot of the cooking
• he's kinda like your wife
• not that he is, cuz you're not rlly a breadwinner
• you barely make rent sometimes
• cuz your job kinda sucks
• he ALWAYS comes by the café
• bringing you anything you want
• be it a drink or a snack
• ok maybe not a wife
• he just a hardcore mom
• he also graces you with his lovely voice when you're feeling down
• he always shows you his compositions first
• cuz Rikuo actually rlly prizes your opinions
• and you feel so happy for that cuz
• wow, he cares about what you think?
• you're both very supportive of each other's professions
• you're like his no.1 hypeman when it comes to preparing compositions for producers-
• and he helps you out with paying for acting classes and headshots
• he's your no.1 fan
• also, such a photographer???
• you might as well be a model with how many photos he takes of you
• and they're all like amazing?
• not only you, but like everything - his angles, his focus, etc.
• Rikuo's a natural photographer
• if he wasn't so into composing, he'd make bank with his skills in photography
• however, he's a songbird if anything else
• AND YOU LOVE IT
• sometimes, y'all do a silly duet for fun
• he's so fun to karaoke with
• you may not be the best singer but he always makes it fun
• he can be surprisingly silly
• Rikuo's also rlly gullible tho
• so you always prank him
• and he falls for it every single time the poor bby-
• and the one time he pranked you back you felt so proud not even mad like-
• cuz his pranks almost 100% always fail
• but he's trying
• Rikuo & you have a lot of midnight talks
• that last for a helluva long time
• sometimes, you think that he might be your soulmate
• cuz you & him connect on a deep level
• y'all just understand one another
• celebrations with this dude are liitt
• you didn't expect him to be so good at drinking-
• he went thru like 2 bottles and was still able to stand & pass off as sober
• you, on the other hand, are a lightweight and passed out after the first half of the first bottle
• he takes extra care of you when hungover lol
• and when ur sick
• you try to return the favor when he's also not feeling well
• y'all just take alotta care of one another uwu
• the support is r e a l
• when he got recognized by a big time corporation, you literally tackled him into a hug
• and he literally lifted you off the ground when you told him about getting a big part
• he has this YT channel for his music, and all his viewers ship you two
• cuz he vlogs on the side-
• even his friends ship y'all
• yousuke & chikato love you
• and ship y'all
• like FedEx lol
• ok sorry-
• but yeh-
• your relationship is jst what everyone aspires
• as cliché as that sounds
• you two think highly of one another
• however,,
• all great things must come to an end
• you had to move for a part in this big movie ;;
• it was gnna be your big break
• but that meant you had to leavveee
• you two went into espresso depresso mode
• so much hugging
• and he usually doesn't hug man-
• but damn how could he not?
• he'd miss you a lot
• and so would you
• the last week, all you two did was spend time together
• whether indoors or outdoors
• he was the one who took you to the airport ;;
• and said goodbye last
• cuz ofc you & chika tagged along
• he hugged you for a long ass time
• or that's what it felt like
