I fell face-first into the Lauren/Hiraga-shipping side of pixiv. Thank you, Japanese side of the fandom, for coming through for me in my hour of need.

Some of the fanworks seem to play up Lauren's dark side quite a bit? Like, not just "Lauren is awkwardly attracted to Hiraga and he's rather frustrated by it and that adds to his abrasiveness", but more, hm, slotting him into the yandere character type.

And... I can kind of see that. I mean, if you're going to turn the id on full blast, why not. He IS a criminal after all, might as well make use of that character background for kink purposes I GUESS.

ESPECIALLY because yesterday I stumbled across someone saying that he looks and kind of acts like Shuu Iwamine from Hatoful Boyfriend (or at least Shuu's human form, anyway) and I just. [/SCREAM]

THEY DO

HE DOES

And I mean, well...

-Long hair in low ponytail
-Spectacles
-Lab coat
-Kind of misanthropic
-Genius
-Bioterrorist
-Extremely questionable person In General

Except Lauren is not a partridge. And has not decapitated anyone and done questionable things with their head.

...As far as we know. (It's VME, you can never be sure.)

I will not be able to get this out of my head I Swear. But, yes, the superficial similarities makes it easier for me to imagine that particular kind of creepy-evil Lauren for this particular pairing, haha.

Aaaanyway. Those evil!Lauren fanworks are rather appealing, but to me the more likely scenario is just Lauren coming off as kind of creepy and weird (in a failed seduction attempt), and meanwhile Hiraga is oblivious. (Though Roberto might notice. If he happened to overhear their conversation or something. Of course he would notice. It might be Cause For Concern.)

I... SHOULD... go do something more productive than this, probably.
