I openly admit the hint for this pairing was me soapboxing. Seriously, though, can you name more than half a dozen Togafuka fics where Togami is in-character? Thought so. Hating Toko's infatuation with him is a core character trait, that is not something you can get rid of in less than ... say, 25,000 words.
Your Honesty
Toko Fukawa hated empty compliments. Supposedly "nice" people saying "kind" things to her just to get her to shut up. Anyone with a brain would see this condescension for what it is and for all her flaws, Fukawa had a brain.
Which is why it was so refreshing that the very handsome, rich and intelligent Byakuya Togami spared her such pleasantries and saw her for the barely-human creature she was. Only someone who truly cared about her would be able to be as honest with her as he was.
Truly, he was the peak of men.
His affection and honesty gave her strength, motivated her even in the trying times of being locked in a school with other girls and boys who were "looking to murder her in cold blood", as she would describe it, or when rescuing Togami from a bunch of insane children.
With this inspiration, anything was possible and her results showed that. A filthy, useless vermin and all-around disgusting pig becoming the (joint) hero of Towa City. All thanks to Togami and the devotion he inspired in Fukawa – at least that is how she would describe it.
She knew she would follow and obey him forever.
Alright, the final double drabble will come tonight and since only Kirihina remains, a hint would be pointless.
Thank you for reading and enjoy the Switch releases if you have purchased them.
