๑｡‿♡⁠˖༚⑅   that one fateful morning in frostheim started early, especially for Kaito. he rolls out of the bed, his body limp and unrested. he brushes his teeth and eats his usual breakfast. having put on the already so familiar uniform striped blue, he attaches a shiny cobalt brooch to it, and lingers in front of the mirror fixing up his hair. not a thing is out of the ordinary morning routine for him, he tells himself, but there is something eerie going in behind the scenes – a chill, tingly feeling spreading out in his chest. his mind's plagued with the thoughts of you...

he barely got a wink of sleep last night, as if under some kind of spell – whenever he closes his eyes, his mind involuntarily wanders back to the day you met – hiding in that cramped little closet. it's true that he hasn't once passed up on an opportunity to assist a damsel, in distress or not really, but he claims that with you, it was completely different and all the more meaningful!

there was some kind of invisible bond that formed between you and him, immediately making him trust you, enough to spew shameless lies about his condition to the sketchy Luca guy who almost ruined his knight in shining armor act! to bring his demise even closer another obstacle – in the face of none other than Romeo Lucci appeared on his way to rescuing you and leaving a remarkable first impression of a reliable and trustworthy guy... yikes! he almost teared up in frustration that day.

after all, he didn't have his hopes up – he never does, rejection is less painful if he plays it cool like that. But much to his own astonishment, you didn't turn your back at him! which only served to solidify his belief in you being practically made for each other...

it's all in the past now. there were many other extreme, dangerous and memorable events to come after your meeting. he still can hear the ugly, contorted voices of those slender, pale creatures screeching in his worst nightmares, that you faced on you very first mission together! he only accepted to participate in it because of your presence, mind you. not anywhat regarding his cowardice and jumpiness, you stayed by his side. and by your own fault, he didn't even notice how attached he's become to you. a class without you is nothing but naptime worthy, food in the cafeteria is bland and flavorless if you're not eating there with him, homework sheet is just a bunch of letters without any sensible connection lest you stay after class in the library to do it together...

but now, not a thing will get in his way! even if that thing really wants to. you're not busy with any missions with other dorms, and that's an extremely rare occasion since your obtaining of the position as an inspector. Kaito was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even feel the walk to the cathedral where you resided – as if his legs brought him here by themselves. the air after the sunrise was crisp, the skies were clear, minus a couple of clouds stretched lazily across the horizon, and the birds chirped soundly in the nice quiet of the day's early hours. the scenery was peaceful and serene, taking a toll on Kaito's mood. he sucks in a breath through gritted teeth, for a couple of seconds unable to gather enough courage needed to knock. the second his knuckles met the smooth surface of your door, he hears your sweet voice ringing out from the inside – "coming!"

you open the door without any second thought, already having expected him to come pick you up for classes. one look into your eyes, still a bit hazy from sleep, and his frame of mind is lightened, as if the gloom he felt in the morning was never there in the first place. . ｡⁠☆

he walks by your side, and his thoughts turn to fantasizing that you aren't just going to class and he isn't simply escorting you to the main building, but instead you two are taking a romantic stroll while everyone is still cozy in their beds. it's only this early into the autumn – the leaves are still vivid green and the grass is lush and full of life. Kaito awkwardly coughs into his fist to clear his throat, – "the weather today is kind of nice, right?" – his voice cracks in the end of the sentence. embarrassing. you don't comment on it, perhaps you didn't notice? only humming in agreement, you turn your head to take in the picturesque landscape. he can feel a little bit of his heart melting away.

he keeps sneaking glances at you in class. professor Nicolas is talking somewhere in the background, like an old TV's static electricity hum. he doesn't listen, nor does he want to when he's so busy admiring your visage. gentle, warm sunlight pooled into the room through big windows, filtering through your hair, beautifully highlighting your lashes. your eyebrows are knitted together loosely, you're struggling to keep up with the lector's pace and note all the most important information down in your notebook. you're so determined, responsible, scholarly for your sake! the qualities that he'll never get to have but will never cease to appreciate about you, he sighs dreamily. he wants to reach out, to touch your cheek, like a child would try to catch a fleeting sunny bunny – that's a good thing that Luca no-show'ed today and isn't occupying the space between you, but he stops. his hand barely twitched on his desk.

after the lessons are over, he takes you to the mystery diner. he wasted a lot of time winn.. – earning! the money to take you out somewhere nice. can you really say it was a waste when your smile beams so brightly, though? you situated at the table in the corner, further away from the others – not that there were much others but you and Ren in there, but... who cares! after the dark-haired man took your order of two coffees and returned to his post at the counter, not taking his eyes off the phone in his hand, you two sit and chat idly for a bit. not really chat, – you made a mental note of how Kaito was quieter than usual today, but chalking it up to him simply being tired, you rambled about your day. even after your drink was placed in front of you on the table, you only paused to take a sip once, before going back to your speech. he can't help the dopey smile stretching across his features, – you were really hyper today, how cute... good for him, because he didn't have to make silly things up to fill the silence, he thinks back to his weather remark in the morning.

you make your way out of the diner, the door closing behind him with a subtle click, when the sun's already setting for the night. air is still warm, despite the cooler gusts of wind creeping up under your clothes in shivers. you stood on the path without motion, breathing in the pleasantly moist air. Kaito offered to walk you back home – after all, it's dangerous to amble around alone during the night! he was already about to start walking, before he felt you carefully brush the back of your hand against his. blood rushed through his body, as hot as molten lava, shotting up to his face and the very tips of his ears in seconds. he turns to face you, hoping that the thin veil of dusk sinking in will aid him in concealing how red his face become. "you don't mind?" – you ask him oh so sweetly, and he feels how he's about to implode, rapidly nodding his head. you let out a content, barely audible sigh, and start a leisurely pace along the pathway, almost dragging him when he stumbles over his own feet.

the voices of students hanging out outside in academy's courtyard have died out, and the birds seem to have went to sleep early today too – because there is only him, you and the crickets, invisible in the grass. he holds your hand, which is really warm and soft, he thinks, and he feels his own palm grow clammy. now's the moment that he waited for so long! he lightly tugs at your hand, and you gaze back at him. heck, you're even more enchanting now in the pinkish hues of sunset.

"I, uh..." – he trailed off. he even wrote cue cards not to stutter too much! time to man up for once, Kaito, he mentally shook himself by the shoulders. "I wanted to tell you something", – his tone comes out unexpectedly firm.

you tilt your head to the side, your eyes widen slightly in curiosity. he feels trapped under your watchful gaze, with no backtrack options available now when your expression is so intent, as if nudging him to just spit it out already.

he swallows a thick lump in his throat, "I... I really like you, [name]!" – he did it scared. when you slightly recoiled from him, as if in confusion, placing a hand on your chest, he quickly scrambles to add "I mean, like, like you, you know?!"

there is a few moments when nothing happens, when you don't respond with a confession of your mutual, undying feelings for him. moments that feel like eternity. eternity of hell and deathly torture for the poor blond. you let go of his hand and let out a breath that you didn't know you were holding. he feels his confidence break, his ego shatter, and the ground beneath him open up it's maw – ready to swallow him whole. his blue orbs wavered with tears, and you noticing it found your words quicker – "I... Kaito. I'm sorry, but I can't say that I feel the same way about you."

the most important day of his life... is ruined! he was so presumptuously sure that this time is different – that your bond with him is special and not like any of those other girl's that he used to chase, but look at him now. still a shaking coward, a pathetic excuse of a knight in shining armor that he strove to be for you. he can feel his lower lip starting to tremble – now he only had to break down crying in front of you to drive the point home.

but much to his astonishment, you didn't turn your back at him. your warm palms reach his shoulders, –"but it doesn't mean that we can't stay friends, right? I mean, if you want to..." – now it's your turn to waver. "I really treasure our friendship, Kaito." – your voice goes quiet.

he lets out an ugly sob before pressing his face into the crook of your neck and crying, crying, crying all the pent up emotions out, completely dropping his usual boisterous attitude. there's no bravado, no his usual screaming and jumping, only a boy confused and lost in his feelings, thoughts, and intents; his inflamed consciousness barely registered you reassuringly stroking his back and pressing your cheek to the top of his head.

after a while, he dares to lift his head to look at you, – he's sure that his appearance is so horrific right now, all disheveled, with puffy red eyes and tears along with snot still running down his face – but he doesn't see a single hint of disgust or repulsion in your expression – you are wearing a kind smile instead. he breathes out a strangled "sorry", his throat feels extremely sore. "so, what do you say?" – you inquire, but there's no pressure in your voice. it's as gentle as ever. – "friends?"

with great effort he finds the strength in himself to actually return the smile, albeit meekly, and respond to your question – "friends."

if anything, what's happened only brought you closer. he can't even blame himself much for reading his feelings for you as romantic, when in the past he would've just dug out his own grave and died because of his self-consciousness. the only way to growing into something better is through pain – or at least that's what they say, right?

you jokingly bickered at the porch of your home while you couldn't find your keys, both your silhouettes blurring into the darkness. you let him stay the night – you sleep in the same bed and he doesn't even say anything about it, collapsing from exhaustion. maybe you'll tease your best friend about it tomorrow. or maybe you'll spare him? you can only know when you wake up in the morning the next day, you think, as you flip off the switch on your bedside lamp. ˖⑅~๑‿｡ ⁠.̮⁠ ｡`

Alan Mido as your older brother :3

proofread ✔️

๑｡‿♡⁠˖༚⑅ ever since the very first time Alan saw you, he knew that his new goal in life would be to become the best older sibling anyone could ask for – one look at your tiny face, your eyelashes fluttering sleepily, coddled in a thick blanket, was enough for him to be instantly enamored, once and for all.

being constantly present by your side as you grew, he wanted to spend every free minute of his time with you, living for how your eyes would practically sparkle with amusement when your cool older bro would teach you to play cool games that only big kids know.

or whenever someone even as much as tried to pick up on you or make a joke about some aspect of your appearance, he would immediately jump in to protect you! not being afraid of getting a bloody nose and bruises after. because in his perspective, no matter how Independent and capable you claim to be, you still are just a kid, puffing up their chest after solving a tough problem on their quiz.

he used to be very physically affectionate, whether it be hugging you, picking you up, or patting you on the head or your back all the time. you were to expect a pat of approval after you clean your room, eat your breakfast, put out the laundry, and just whenever he felt like it, to be fair. sometimes it got really annoying with how no matter how old you grew he still treated you like a little child! you'd furrow your brows and pout your lips, dodging his hand whenever he reached out to you, and Alan would playfully chase you around the house, giggling. little did you know that you'll grow to miss those times.

since the whole pact-dante-darckwick thing happened, physical contact with him became nonexistent.

being convinced that he's a monster he distanced himself from you, all in the name of protecting you and your wellbeing from his own self. he feared that you might have grown to be disgusted by him, or even worse, be afraid of him – these thoughts would linger somewhere in the back of his head, like a bothersome fly that he can't just swat away.

... but before you know it, whenever there is a chance, you are already standing in front of the ice cream vending machine at the shimbashi station, ready to prove him wrong.

despite how much older you both grew, your relationship remained unchanged at all the main points. walking you through the dorm that he'd become the captain of, he once announced to you, pride swirling inside of him, like water lapping at the borders of the glass at your amazement, (sigh), just like when you were kids – he couldn't really keep up his gruff and cold facade around, being perfectly aware of how Leo won't miss the opportunity to tease him into oblivion about it later, he ranted about the most mundane things that have happened lately.

well, at least as much as Alan Mido can rant, being a man of very (emphasis) few words, he can sound pretty awkward. if you're willing to listen, he'd be happy to tell you all about the missions he went on, with one condition – only the lowest ranking ones and only in family friendly details. he doesn't want to rid his lovely little sibling of sleep with all the gore and filth that he has had to witness, duh! all is worth it for you to look at him with the same admiration as in the past... he might tear up just a bit at the thought. he gets nostalgic really often.

being a darckwick student has steeled his mind and hardened his heart, so he might not be as affectionate and frank, but he still likes spending time with you. whether it's you lounging on his bed with your phone while he gets ready for the day in the morning, sitting around in the garage while he's tinkering the guts of some car – you might not understand a single bit of what he's doing so you're just yapping about something the he half-listens to, or joining him for his evening jog, trailing somewhere beside him, trying to keep up – he appreciates your presence in his daily life. it's so peaceful like this, that he just might get back to his responsible older brother role and find himself (lovingly) nagging you about having three proper meals a day, going to bed on time, moving around more to stay healthy, etcetera etcetera.

even when he's not around to nag you in person, he would still show that he cares by shooting you a text saying only two words – "stay safe". he even learns how to use emojis! specifically to send a little smiley face after as a signoff... ˖⑅~๑‿｡ ⁠.̮⁠ ｡`
