Awww, thank you so much anon!!

The creepiest Sleeping Beauty ever, oh my god, I love it. If Yashiro wakes him up with a true love’s kiss because, that’s what it is, true love? And Satoru is just like “wow, no.” AaaAAAAaaa

Not pushy at all, anon!! I was struggling a lot with the latest chapter of Origin Story (huge chunks got rewritten... several times over) so it just took much longer than it should have. I’m also on tumblr less as a platform overall, so I’m generally more active on twitter!

I don’t think Yashiro would take him out of town unless Sachiko was gone for the weekend herself, since it would be too risky. Satoru’s probably saying he’s hanging out with friends or going to a club, with the money going into a separate account he has. I feel like a lot of Satoru disappearing or being evasive can be chalked up to teenager-dom.

It’s two-fold, really! The first is that Satoru is literally from the future -- so he knows who is going to be targeted, and in what order. In that sense, it looks like Satoru is “predicting” his movements -- that’s what Yashiro thought it was, anyway. After seeing how Yashiro operated in the future (framing him, attempting to kill Airi, etc) plus going through multiple 1988s, he did manage to get a really good idea of Yashiro’s MO.

The other part is that Yashiro and Satoru both have a “hole in their heart.” The first scene of the show is Satoru discussing how he feels empty, how he’s scared to look at his own mind. That feeling pushes Satoru to want to save people. Yashiro, on the other hand, has that feeling too -- but it drives him to kill. That’s what Satoru meant by “I am the only one who understands you,” and why he’s able to predict how Yashiro will act (for example, not actually letting Satoru die on the rooftop). 

I think he would become different, eventually. The difference being that Satoru would be the one initiating the consensual relationship. Which means Satoru reached out to him and is willing to stay by Yashiro’s side -- unless Yashiro does something. So there’s a kind of calculating reason why he would tread carefully at first. Having Satoru willingly stay is a lot easier than the alternative. I think that would eventually morph into genuine affection.

That said, I do really want to write a version of that Kensato rejection prompt showing how Satoru and Yashiro got together, in an AU where Yashiro isn’t a killer and they actually, y’know... date.

♡(｡- ω -) Thank you, anon! Yeah, Satoru is someone who feels deeply and strongly but rarely ever actually cries. I think the only time we actually see him cry in the series is when he sees Kayo again as adults, and when his mother made him dinner after he initially got sent back. It really takes a lot, huh?

I feel like, generally, Yashiro would probably get a kick out of it. I think he would enjoy seeing Satoru’s emotions on his sleeve, especially if Satoru was crying while being defiant, for example. Just that contrast of “he is so upset, but he’s still fighting” would probably be appealing.

From my understanding of demisexuality, I think you can say that, yes! That said, I can’t see Yashiro forming a strong emotional bond with anyone but Satoru, either.

Happy now belated New Year, anon!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
