"omg could you please please please write headcanons or scenarios of cool dude friend Hisagi being poor gloomy Izuru's wingman? Like say Izuru likes a person but can't approach them due to his emo demeanor"
Omg, yes! Hope these are okay.
-I for whatever reason imagine Shuu in a band for this one. Nothing gets you points with a crush more than knowing someone in the bands.
-He plays at the bar they frequent. So, he will add Izuru's haikus to his lyrics.
-It's easier for Shuuhei to talk to someone when he's not romantically interested. So, making Izuru look good is no problem.
-Shuuhei will buy rounds of drinks for the group, including his own SO. This way it will make everyone more comfortable. Shuu will have his own SO pick Crushes brain and talk Izuru up as well. Nothing like girl bonding, right?
-Once Izuru has some liquid courage, he's able to talk to talk to his crush. Of, course they hit it off. Crush is pretty shy too. Turns out, they have been waiting for Izuru to make a move.
Shuuhei's guitar strummed along with an upbeat pop-punk song as he jumped around the small stage. Izuru was lingering towards the bar, nursing a drink when he saw his crush. Not expecting to see them in this dive bar, he began to panic. Shuuhei could tell from the stage that his friend was freaking out. A quick scan of the crowd told him why.
Once his band finished their set, Shuuhei packed up quickly and left the stage. Whispering a quick explanation to his SO, he made his way to Izuru and bought the two of them a shot.
"What's got you all frantic?" Shuuhei took the shot of whiskey, grimacing at the burn. Of course, he already knew the answer.
"They're here. Crush is here! What am I gonna do? I can't talk to them!" Izuru ignored his drink and began to panic.
"First, take this shot. Then we're going to take another. SO is talking to Crush right now. Making you look good." Shuuhei grinned as the bartender brought their second round over.
"Is…is that a good idea?" Izuru took the shot and ran a hand through his hair.
"Of course, it is. Those two get along, right?" Shuu clapped his hand over his pessimistic friend's shoulder.
The two left the bar and made their way outside. Shuuhei pulled a cigarette out and lit it, puffing smoke into the night air. Sure enough, SO and Crush were sitting outside talking.
"Hey, that was a great set." SO stands and embraces Shuuhei.
"Yeah…I liked the lyrics." Crush blushes as they join the conversation.
"Oh? Izuru writes them." Shuuhei admits. Crush smiles and the four make their way inside where there are more drinks waiting for them.
"I didn't know you write." Crush beams after a few more rounds.
"Yeah, I have a few in the Seireitei Communications," Izuru admits, sheepishly.
"Look, they're talking!" SO, pulls at Shuuheis arm to get his attention.
"And all it took was two shots and a chu-hai." He laughs.
"What a lightweight." SO muses.
