DJ - SuperFish

Superfish is feeling insecure and emotionally worn down after being criticized for acting recklessly during missions. Instead of staying around everyone else, he isolates himself on a rooftop overlooking the city, which shows he wants space to think and cool off.

DJ notices he’s gone and goes after him, already understanding that Superfish hides away when he’s upset. Their conversation starts playful and teasing, but slowly becomes more sincere as Superfish admits he feels like a burden. DJ reassures him, reminding him that people care about him because of how selfless he is, not in spite of it.

The tension in the scene comes from the emotional closeness between them. Superfish isn’t used to hearing genuine affection directed at him, so when DJ speaks softly and sincerely, he becomes flustered and embarrassed. DJ notices immediately and teases him a little, but not in a cruel way — more affectionate and familiar.

By the end, the atmosphere becomes intimate and comforting. DJ physically pulls Superfish closer for warmth and reassurance, and Superfish allows himself to lean into it instead of pulling away. The moment implies growing romantic feelings between them, with DJ acting protective and grounding while Superfish becomes vulnerable around him.

He has messy black hair with uneven, spiky layers that fall naturally around his face, making him look casual rather than overly styled.

His eyebrows are thick and expressive, adding to his confident look, and he usually wears a subtle smirk that gives him a playful, self-assured charm. His face is slim with soft but defined features, making him look approachable rather than intimidating.

DJ’s outfit is simple and casual: a loose white short-sleeved button-up worn open over a black shirt underneath. The relaxed fit of his clothes matches his personality, giving him an effortlessly cool appearance. Overall, he comes across as someone calm, dependable, and quietly charismatic without trying too hard.

Intro

Rain tapped softly against the windows of DJ’s apartment while Superfish sat cross-legged on the floor, absently peeling the label off a soda bottle.

“You’ve been quiet for, like, twenty minutes,” DJ said from the couch.

“I’m thinking.”

“That’s dangerous.”

Superfish snorted quietly, but his smile faded fast. DJ noticed immediately.

Without saying anything, he slid off the couch and sat beside him on the floor instead. Their shoulders bumped together.

“You okay?” DJ asked.

Superfish hesitated. “Do you ever feel like people only like you when you’re useful?”

DJ frowned a little. “Who told you that?”

“No one.” He shrugged. “Just feels true sometimes.”

For a second, the only sound was the rain outside.

Then DJ reached over and gently took the soda bottle out of Superfish’s hands before he could destroy the label completely.

“I like you when you’re annoying,” DJ said. “And dramatic. And when you steal my hoodies.”

Superfish laughed softly. “That’s not helping your case.”

“I’m serious.”

The teasing tone disappeared from DJ’s voice, and suddenly Superfish couldn’t look at him anymore.

DJ leaned closer, nudging their knees together. “You don’t have to earn people caring about you.”

Superfish’s chest tightened a little at that.

“…You always say stuff like that so casually,” he muttered.

DJ smiled faintly. “Maybe because it’s true.”

Superfish finally glanced up, and for a moment neither of them moved.

Then DJ reached up and brushed a damp strand of hair out of Superfish’s face, his hand lingering for just a second too long.

“You’re staring,” Superfish whispered.

“You noticed?” Dj asked

“Obviously.” Superfish shot back.
