NEVER THERE 𝜗𝜚 ࣪˖ ִ𐙚
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
husband!chuuya x f.reader
SYNOPSIS: you only get to see your husband, chuuya, once a day, which is late at night when you're about to go to sleep. the next morning, you always wake up to him gone.
TW: slight angst, but dw, it'll be fluff at the end, might be a few grammar mistakes
NOTES: fun fact: a lot of these oneshots are based on my c.ai chats <3
Btw I never specified if the reader was taller or shorter than Chuuya, so you can just imagine it urself. ^^
Tumblr media
You heard the door unlock, revealing a redhead mafioso, who peaked his head into the room. He let out a sigh and stepped through the door, running a hand through his hair as he set his hat onto his nightstand.
"Doll, did you wait f'me again?" Chuuya asked and crossed his arms.
There you were, sitting on your guys shared bed with your phone in hand. You were playing mobile games while waiting for your beloved to return home after a long days worth of work.
"Yeah. It doesn't feel the same when you're not here next to me when I sleep." You replied, averting your gaze with a slight pout.
Chuuya let out another sigh, but couldn't help but chuckle and smile warmly at how cute his wife was. He quickly showered and changed into his bedtime clothes before getting into the sheets next to you.
Resting your cheek on your husbands toned chest, you let out a breath of contentment before closing your eyes. The sound of his steady heartbeat and the warmth of his arms was soothing for you, which was perfect to help you sleep.
"How was work today?" You asked with a yawn, trying to keep yourself awake.
"Fine. I had to fix a smuggling deal that one of my stupid subordinates messed up." Chuuya sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
You laughed, then snuggling closer to the redhead. You let out another yawn, to which Chuuya noticed and ran his fingers through you (h/c) hair. "You're tired, doll. Go to sleep now."
You shook your head in protest, blinking your eyes. "Nuh-uh! I want to spend more time with you, so I need to stay awake."
Chuuya shook his head and pressed a gentle kiss against your forehead. "Sleep now."
"But I-"
"No buts."
You sighed, closing your eyes to let your sleepiness consume you. Before you could final succumb to your slumber, you looked up at Chuuya with tired eyes.
"Will you be here next to me when I wake up?"
Chuuya could only bite the inside of his cheek and shake his head. "No doll, I'm sorry. I have work tomorrow."
You nodded and closed your eyes. "I love you, Chuuya."
"I love you to, (Name)."
Tumblr media
The next morning, you woke up per usual to Chuuya not next to you. You let out a sigh of disappointment and stretched, then moving your feet to over the edge of the bed. You unplugged your phone from your charger and noticed a note and a red rose sitting on your nighstand.
You took the letter and read it, smiling in the end. The letter said:
'Dear (Name),
I'm sorry I can't be there to greet you in the morning. I promise I'll make it up to you next time with a bunch of presents, love, and kisses.
I love you.
Your husband, Chuuya.'
Though the letter was sweet, you couldn't help but frown in disappointment. That's what he would always say when you brought up the fact that he was never there for you. Pushing the thoughts down, you got up from bed and headed to your office to start working.
Usually you stayed home, due to the fact you were a stay-at-home wife, and partially of the fact you also worked from home. It was only those one times you went outside if you wanted to go shopping.
One work was finished, you went to the kitchen to make dinner and clean up around the penthouse. Once again, you ate dinner alone and left leftovers for Chuuya to eat once he got home. You then got ready for bed and got under the covers, bringing out your phone and began to wait till Chuuya came home.
Another hour passed, and Chuuya was still not home. You let out a sigh and laid sprawled out on the bed, starfish style. Bringing your arm up into the air, you stared at the hand with a ring wrapped around your ring finger. You chewed the inside of your cheek and rested that hand on your chest. You yearned for Chuuya's love, and missed him dearly.
Just then, the door to the bedroom unlocked, revealing the redhead who walked inside with a tired expression.
"Hey, Doll. I'm back." He greeted you with a smile.
"Welcome home." You replied and sat up.
After Chuuya was done with getting ready for bed, he got under the covers with you. Chuuya let out a sigh and wrapped his arms around you, pressing a kiss against your forehead.
"I missed you." Chuuya told you.
You stayed quiet for a moment before responding. "I missed you to. But, you're not going to be here next to me when I wake up..."
Chuuya frowned. He felt a twinge of guilt in his heart and began to rub your back apologetically. "I know, I know. I'm sorry, (Name). You know how my boss is."
Suddenly, Chuuya heard sniffling. He watched you sit up from his arms and bury your face into your hands, beginning to cry. Chuuya felt his heart shatter to see you sobbing because of him. Chuuya sat up quickly and rubbed your back.
"(Name)?" He mumbled quietly, his soft voice laced with concern and worry. "Hey, what's wrong, baby?"
"I-I'm sorry. It's just that— I miss you so much, Chuuya. I only see you one time a day because you always come late from work." You sobbed and wiped your tears. "But every time I stare at my ring, I have to keep reminding myself that I have a husband! But it feels like I don't, because you're never here!"
Chuuya didn't know how to reply, and only felt his guilt increase from hearing your pain and yearn for his love. Chuuya cupped your cheek, turning you face towards him. "(Name), I—"
"Am I pushing you away? Am I to clingy? Is that why you're spending so much time at work instead of at home with me? Your wife?" You interrupted Chuuya, sniffling again. "Is your job really more important than your wife? Do you still love me?"
Chuuya's eyes widened when he heard that last question. He quickly brought you into a tight hug, burying his face into the crook of your neck. "No, I still love you! And you're not pushing me away, (Name)—"
Chuuya took a deep breath before continuing. "You're not pushing me away, love. I would never allow that to happen, because you're the most important woman in my life. I love you far to much to ever let you go. It's just... it's my job."
"But wouldn't Mori understand that you have a wife at home? You're not just some mindless pawn for his use! You're your own person, Chuuya!" You argued, tears streaming down your cheeks. "N-No, I'm sorry. I understand that you're doing this for the both of us. I understand that you're working really hard to have a roof over our heads..."
"(N-Name), don't just brush if off like that," Chuuya stammered, cupping both of your cheeks. He let out a sigh before pressing a kiss against your lips. "I'll see what I can do, alright? Just... please don't cry. I can't bare to see you like this."
You nodded and laid back down in bed with Chuuya, wrapped in his arms. You sniffled again and wiped the left tears on your cheeks, your eyes puffy and red. "I'm sorry, Chuuya. I just don't want you to overwork yourself."
"I know, Doll. I understand where your pain is coming from, I really want to do something about it." Chuuya replied and brought your closer to him, pressing a kiss against your forehead. "I love you, (Name). Don't think to much about it, okay?"
You nodded once more. "I love you to, Chuuya."
Tumblr media
The next morning, you stirred from your sleep, blinking your eyes awake and looked to your side. Frowning to see that Chuuya wasn't there, you got up and ran a hand over your face.
'Don't be such a bad wife, (Name). Chuuya is doing this for both you and him. At least appreciate what he's doing.' You told yourself and got up from bed, making your way to the kitchen to make breakfast.
As soon as you left the bedroom, the smell of eggs and bacon wafted through the air, tingling your taste buds. You breathed in the smell, licking your lips as you approached the kitchen. You peaked around the corner, your eyes widening to see Chuuya standing at the stove with a apron that said 'Kiss The Cook.'
"Chuuya?"
Chuuya jolted and turned around, quickly turning off the stove and smiled at you warmly. "Morning, Doll."
You teared up, smiling as you ran towards Chuuya, crushing in a hug. "Agh! W-Why are you crying?" Chuuya frantically asked, wiping your tears away with his thumb.
"N-No, it's happy tears, Chuuya! Happy tears!" You repeated, laughing at his misconception.
Chuuya smiled and cupped your cheeks, giving you a morning kiss. "You're such a crybaby." He teased and flicked your forehead.
You whined and held your forehead, pouting as you looked up at Chuuya. The two of you laughed it off in the end. Chuuya wrapped his arms around your waist and you wrapped your arms around his neck. The two of you connected lips, the kiss strong, passionate, yet gentle at the same time.
After a few moments, the couple broke the kiss and smiled at each other. You rested your forehead against Chuuya's, eyes closed as the two of your soaked in the moment.
"I love you, Chuuya." You whispered.
"I love you to, (Name)." He replied, pressing a kiss against your forehead.
"Soo... Kiss the Cook, eh?"
"Shut up!"

EMBARRASSMENT 𝜗𝜚 ࣪˖ ִ𐙚
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
dazai osamu x f.reader (gakuen au)
SYNOPSIS: reader is sitting alone at lunch, a certain bandage for brains decides to sit with them.
NOTE: so like... i'm back <3
Tumblr media
Embarrassment is always a feeling that would kick you in the backside every time it got the chance to, which is probably most frequently.
Take class today, for example. Your classroom was taking a 'surprise' quiz from your teacher which, by the way, you are totally going to fail because you didn't understand half the shit the questions said. You didn't know why, but the melody from 'Symphony' kept ringing through your brain. This resulted in you having to read the questions over and over again.
Before you knew it, half the class was already finished with their quiz. And on top of that, you were hungry as hell. Probably to the point where you could eat your test paper. While trying to focus on your test, your stomach began to grumble loudly. It sounded as if a battle horn was being played. And get this, the whole class was quiet! Everybody turned to you with a questionable look, while some people giggled or snickered.
Sinking into your seat, your face began to heat up from embarrassment. That is, until you were saved by the loud ringing of the bell. Students fled from the classroom with their friends to their well-deserved lunch break.
You let out a sigh of relief and sat up from your desk, grabbed your bento box, and made your way to your normal, lonely bench for lunch.
You're used to sitting by yourself at lunch for the most part. People come and go from your table, yet you remain the only one that stayed. You sat down, opened your bento box, whispered a quick prayer before beginning to dig into your meal. God, how you've been waiting for this the whole day.
But before you could even take even a bite from a piece of food, a voice interrupted your peace. "Hey, you're (Name), right?"
An irk mark appeared on your forehead as closed your eyes in annoyance. You were about to eat, and someone interrupted you before you could even take a bite! Man, how disrespectful people can be.
You turned the voice and was in the process to give them a piece of your mind before your eyes widened to see none other than one of the most popular kids, Dazai Osamu. He's loud, sociable, and most definitely handsome. He's also often described as the class clown and player in your grade.
You looked around, wondering if he was talking to somebody else who's named (Name). There had to be someone else in this school name (Name), right?
"Me. You're talking to me?" You asked, pointing at yourself as you stared at brunette, dumbfounded.
Dazai could only laugh at your clueless expression, a smirk tugging on the corners of his lips. "I think so. Unless your name isn't Mai."
"Nope, yeah! That's me! Sorry. It's not everyday when the one of the popular kids at this school talks to me, y'know?" (Name) chuckles awkwardly, rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment about the stupid mistake she made. Of course he was talking to you! His gaze was literally directed onto you. This was your one chance to make a good expression, and you already blew it.
Dazai raised an eyebrow before snickering, then letting out a laugh. "You're funny! Mind if I sit here?"
You motioned to the spot beside you. Dazai scooted next to you, causing you to blush at the close proximity he created. You cleared your throat and stuck your hand out for Dazai to shake.
"I'm (Name), by the way. Though, you already know that because..." You stopped halfway before you could say anything else in attempt to save yourself from embarrassment. You expectantly failed and cursed under your breath.
Dazai smiled at your flustered and embarrassed expression. He found it cute. He noticed the hand you pulled away and grabbed it, pulling it back and shaking your hand firmly.
"No need to stop! I appreciate the reintroduction." Dazai chuckled and let go of your hand.
"R-Right."
"Anyways, about the quiz today." Dazai started and rested his cheek in the palm of his hand, his elbow propped onto the table. "You seemed to be having trouble on it. It's pretty easy, to."
"I'm just a bit... distracted." You replied, looking away from Dazai. You didn't want him to think you were stupid because the melody of 'Symphony' was one of the many things that lived in your mind rent free.
"You must've been hungry by how loud your stomach growled in class." He added.
"Don't even start with that!" You wailed, burying your red face into your hands.
Dazai laughed. "We have those times, don't sweat it. Plus, I'm pretty sure everybody was feeling the same way to." You still were embarrassed from the situation, though you picked your face up from your palms and continued to eat your lunch.
You and Dazai continued to chat through the lunch period, laughter filling the area as he told jokes and teased you. Though it embarrassed you mostly, you couldn't help but laugh along to it.
"Hey Dazai, how come you decided to sit with me?" (Name) asked and closed her bento box.
"Hm? Why did I?" Dazai recalled and cupped his chin with his point and thumb finger, thinking. He then smirked and leaned closer to you. "You looked lonely, after all. Plus, I thought you look pretty cute all flustered."
You blushed at Dazai calling you cute and how close he was to you, which caused you to smile in a giddy way. Just then, your guys conversation was interrupted by the school bell, informing everyone to get back to class. You sighed and stood up, smiling at Dazai.
"Thanks for sitting with me." You thanked the brunette, and to which he nodded in response.
A silence engulfed the conversation. Beginning to rock your heels back and forth, your lips pursed as you then muster up the courage to say the next thing. "Would it be crazy if we maybe hang out after school sometime? Maybe go to the arcade and get some ice cream?"
Dazai blinked his eyes, registering the information. A small blush dusted across his cheeks as he then smiled. "Yeah, sure. How about this weekend?"
"Cool, cool, yeah of course." You replied in a chill tone, but your inner self was actually screaming and jumping up and down with excitement. "Uhm, I'll catch you later, then!"
You backed away, bumping into a trash in the process. You quickly caught the bin before it could topple over, and smiled awkwardly at Dazai before running off.
The brunette held his hand to say something else, but it was to late. He let out a sigh and chuckled, shaking his head and stuffing his hands into his pockets before approaching the same door you went through.
'Silly girl. Doesn't she remember we're in the same class?' He thought to himself and walked inside the building.

"ੈ✩₊˚ HEALING THERAPY!~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"ੈ✩₊˚ chuuya x fem! reader
SYNOPSIS: Chuuya comes home all bloody and bruised from a mission, and is too tired to care for himself. Luckily, [Name] is there to help him.
NOTE: second one shot,, once again, get distracted easily and this probably took me a day or two (or maybe more) to write this. btw, srry if the kiss part wasn't good enough for you- i'm not used to writing much, teehee ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
enjoy this mess of a one shot <333
Tumblr media
THE FULL MOON had peaked to its highest. The black abyss of the night sky was decorate with the twinkling balls of hot gas known as stars that looked small from far away, but are much larger in space.
A temperamental redhead shivered under the cold night winds as he reached the apartment that he and his girlfriend lived in together. Jumbling the he keys from his pocket and cursing at himself for almost dropping it in annoyance, Chuuya unlocked the door and pushed it open, revealing a cozy and comfortable decorated abode.
"Welcome home, Chuuya!" [Name] called out from the kitchen. Chuuya grumbled in response and took off his shoes, walking towards the kitchen while massaging the back of his aching and sore neck grumpily.
[Name] turned to Chuuya to greet her loving boyfriend properly, but instead shrieked and backed away when she realized how crappy he looked. A bead of sweat dripped down [Name]'s cheek as she observed Chuuya's appearance. Splotches of thick crimson fluid stained all over his body, making him seem like a serial killer. Bruises and clean, straight blood lines cut through the shorter mans skin as he gazed at his girlfriend tiredly.
"Yikes! You look like absolute shi-" Before [Name] could finish her sentence, Chuuya interrupted her by laying his head on her shoulder and wrapping his arms around her waist, bringing her into a tight hug. [Name]'s expression softened, then turning into a concerned one while she rubbed circles on Chuuya's shoulder blades comfortingly.
"Tiring day?" [Name] asked Chuuya, seeming to know what the situation was. Chuuya nodded and tightened his grip around [Name]'s waist, making her jolt from the lack of personal space. "Alright, alright! I get it. Let's get you cleaned up, love."
[Name] took Chuuya's hand into hers, intertwining their fingers together as she led Chuuya to the living room and sat him down on the couch. As [Name] turned away to grab disinfectant, cotton balls, wipes, and bandaids from the bathroom, she felt Chuuya's hand grab her wrist, pulling her onto his lap.
[Name] blushed and tried to squirm from Chuuya's grip, only for Chuuya to tighten it, refraining [Name] from moving. [Name] groaned in annoyance whilst she tried to push away from her tired, clingy boyfriend. "Chu, I'm trying to help you, but you're not making this easy. Let me go please?"
Chuuya grumbled in response but reluctantly let go of [Name], allowing her to run to the bathroom quickly to retrieve to medical supplies. When [Name] finally returned, she knelt down in front of Chuuya and took out a few baby wipes, beginning to clean the blood splotches on Chuuya's face. Next, [Name] dabbed a cotton ball in disinfectant and raised it towards Chuuya's cuts.
"It might sting a little, love. Just hold on a for a second, I'll be quick." While [Name] cleaned Chuuya's wounds, Chuuya hissed at the stinging feeling. Once [Name] was done, she patched Chuuya up by placing SpiderMan and Barbie themed bandaids over his cuts.
Because Chuuya trusted [Name] more than anybody else in his life, [Name] is possibly the only person who could care for Chuuya this easily without him complaining about how he didn't like to be babied.
Chuuya deadpanned at the Barbie and Spiderman bandaids that covered his cuts as he looked in the mirror before hopping into the bathtub to clean his body. "We seriously didn't have anymore bandaids?" He asked.
"Hm? Oh no, we did, but I just chose those bandaids because I thought they'd look cute on you!" [Name] cooed at Chuuya with a bright smile tugging on her lips. An irk mark grew on Chuuya's forehead while the corner of his eyes twitched in annoyance from [Name]'s response. Nevertheless, he ignored the feeling and hopped inside the bathtub, soaking up all the suds.
[Name] walked inside the bathroom and giggled at how adorable and innocent Chuuya looked, as if he was a little kid playing in the bathtub. Lastly, [Name] grabbed Chuuya's clothes and tossed them inside the hamper.
With a fluffy white towel wrapped around his neck, a fresh and clean Chuuya dried his hair as he walked into his shared bedroom with [Name]. There, he found [Name] sitting on their shared bed while playing uno... with a stuffed animal?
Chuuya blinked in confusion as he watched his girlfriend place down a her last card, which was plus 4 card down, then cheering in victory. "Take that, you little shit!" [Name] cursed at the stuffed animal as she jumped around.
Chuuya laughed and sat down next to [Name]. [Name] scooted closer to Chuuya and laid her head on his chest as she began to settle down for the night.
"Y'know, for my first girlfriend, you're pretty weird." Chuuya commented along with a chuckle.
[Name] laughed along with Chuuya and peppered a kiss on his cheek. "Yet you still chose to love this weirdo."
Chuuya smiled, cupping [Name]'s chin with his fingers and gently pulling her face towards his. Chuuya leaned in and kissed [Name] once more, this time on the lips. [Name] blushed and wrapped her arms around Chuuya's neck, leaning into the kiss as her eyes slowly fluttered shut.
The two eventually pulled away, panting for air because of their passionate, heart-felt kiss. Chuuya and [Name] pressed their foreheads together, smiling warmly.
"Yeah, and it was the best decision I've ever made." Chuuya whispered.
The two lovers then fell asleep peacefully that night in the comforting warmth of each others arms.

"ੈ✩₊˚ OPPOSITES ATTRACT~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"ੈ✩₊˚ — 15! dazai x fem! reader (royal au)
SYNOPSIS: Prince Dazai is bored as he sits in the royal garden. His curiosity peeks when he hears a rustle in the tree leaves. Who might that be?
NOTE: first one shot, and i've been distracted for more than 5 times. enjoy this mess of a one shot. <33
Tumblr media
AFTER DIPPING HIS pointer and middle finger into the cold waters of the architectural fountain in the royal gardens, he then drew little doodles with his damp fingers on the concrete ledge. Prince Dazai sighed in dismay as he picked up his head and looked around the beautiful garden, observing the abundant and fragrant flowers that had just bloomed as it swayed with the springtime breeze.
Although the enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature were pleasing to guests who came to visit, it wasn't enough to satisfy the boredom of the prince.
Much to the Dazai's boredom, his curiosity was struck when he heard a rustle in the large oak tree, which made a few leaves gracefully fall from the branches and onto the grass. Dazai picked up his head and gazed at the tree, spotting to find if there was a small critter in the branches.
Dazai did not see anything, but yet the trees leaves kept shaking, peeking his curiosity. The prince had decided to walk towards the tree and investigate further. When Dazai looked up into the trees leaves and branches, he tipped over and stumbled onto the healthy green grass with a small gasp when a girl about his age dropped down from the branches, startling him unintentionally.
"Oh, hiya Prince Dazai!" The girl greeted her prince with a bright smile and waved at him, a slight warmth growing on her cheeks from being active.
Dazai gazed at the girl in front of him that somewhat acted like an animal in his opinion. [E/c] eyes and [s/c] skin that had specks of dirt sticking to her cheeks, [h/c] hair that was tied into a ponytail and had a few leaves sitting in it, and not to mention the dirty clothes that she was wearing, which did not seem to be sewn with the finest material.
Dazai could easily tell this girl was a peasant, a commoner. Or in a more positive way, a residence from the village.
Compared the newly dubbed peasant girl, Dazai was much more cleaner and had clothing that was obviously skillfully sewn with the finest material in the land.
The prince's eyebrows furrowed at the girl who acted so casual with him. Who does she think she's talking to? As a lady, she should act more respectful with proper etiquette towards the prince who is next in line to the throne of the kingdom.
Dusting himself off, the prince stood up tall and cleared his throat. "What are you doing here in the royal garden... peasant?" he asked, hesitating in a way as he looked at the girl in a judgmental way. "A lowlife commoner like you wouldn't be in an elegant place like this."
The girl pulled herself back up onto the branch so she was sitting upright and jumped down, landing in front of the prince with a crunch from the leaves under her feet. "I help my mother with cleaning in the palace. But since she doesn't need my assistance right now, she suggested to go explore in the gardens!"
Dazai hummed in response and held his hands behind his back, seeing that the girl didn't take his insult personally. "I see, so you're the maids daughter. And how may I address you, miss peasant?"
"The name's [Name]!" [Name] exclaimed in a pep tone, raising her hand up as if she was called on the teacher to introduce herself to the classroom. [Name] then stuck out her hand, expecting for the prince to shake her hand.
Before [Name] could speak up again, her [e/c] eyes widened in surprise, a pink hue of blush spread across her cheeks, and a bead of sweat dripped down her forehead as she watched as Dazai took her hand gently, raising it up to his lips and placing a light kiss on the back of [Name]'s hand.
"W-What are you doing?!" [Name] yelled in a flustered way, snatching her hand back and holding it, as if Dazai gave her hand a disease.
Dazai raised an eyebrow and dropped his arm, tilting his head to the side in confusion. "Just a gesture of politeness, is it not? To kiss a ladies hand when you greet them? That's what my etiquette instructor had explained to me."
[Name] looked down at the back of her hand where Dazai had kissed it and blushed, laughing awkwardly and giving the prince a crooked smile. [Name] rubbed the back of her neck in embarrassment, understanding how differently her and Dazai were taught how to greet one another.
"Ah, I see..." [Name] trailed off and averted her gaze away from Dazai. "Sorry, it's just that people in the village usually greet each other with a friendly handshake!"
[Name] gazed back at the prince and smiled brightly, taking his hand and connected it with hers, then shaking it positively. The prince blushed at the sudden actions of the peasant girl who acted so kind and casual with him. Her burst of energy overwhelmed Dazai, but oddly made him feel comfortable with her.
Dazai nodded in response to [Name]s explanation, retracted his hand, and dusted it off. "Uhm, right. Changing the subject, may I ask for your age, miss [Name]?"
"I'm 14!" [Name] beamed with a bright smile. "By the way, you don't need to call me miss. It makes me feel old," [Name] giggled lightly to herself.
"Understood." Dazai firmly spoken and rubbed his arm, his gaze falling to floor, unsure about what to say next.
"So... do you wanna be friends?" [Name] suggested out of the blue in such a nonchalant way. Dazai's eyes widened to [Name]'s request. It had been a very long period of time in which Dazai had a real friend. Ever since his mother had died from an illness, his father prohibited Dazai to go outside of palace grounds since then.
Hesitantly after a moment of thinking, Dazai answered [Name]. "Sure..."
[Name] squealed in excitement and was just about to attack Dazai in a bone crushing hug when she heard a voice call out for the princes name. [Name] looked over Dazai's shoulder, spotting one of his many butlers searching for him.
"Oh, it's Hirotsu..." Dazai mumbled to himself while pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. He then sighed and walked towards his butler.
"Ah, Master Dazai. Your father is requesting for your presence." Hirostu informed Dazai with a slight bow in respect. Dazai nodded and followed Hirotsu to the palace large doors. Before Dazai entered, he gazed over his shoulder, waving to [Name] before walking inside. [Name] smiled back at Dazai and returned his wave, although it was more energetic than his.
As Dazai walked with Hirotsu through the palace halls, you could only notice a faint smile tugging on the corner of his lips. Perhaps the prince grew a fondness towards the commoner who's called [Name].
And so the story begins of a friendship (or maybe more?) of the prince and the peasant girl. Dazai, who has been confined in the palace walls most of his life with the addition of more grand, rich, and lavishing lifestyle, and a stoic, blunt personality. [Name], who has lived in the village her whole life and struggles to help provide with her mother. Despite the dirt on her shoes, her energetic and happy personality could always keep Dazai and others hopeful and entertained.
Although the two are complete polar opposites, they say that opposites attract, am I right?
