#[ before he started working at shin mikado academy ]

[causalitylinked]

    ...Thank goodness he ended up reaching her in time; otherwise, Mikan might have flown into the air before landing in a bloody heap along the road the same way his late brother had. Now that Kakeru had ensured she was safe, however, he would expel a relieved sigh he had long withheld from past his tightened throat. Of course, he'll report the assailant to the police later, but for the time being, he'll extend an arm out towards his young charge while bending his knees slightly forward.

    "Don't worry about it, Mikan-chan... I'm just glad you're safe. Do you need help getting back up?" Kakeru then questions, allowing concern to seep through his voice. "You aren't hurt, are you? I swear... kids these days can be so cruel." As he speaks, his lone eye would soon shift from her teary-eyed gaze down to the leg that had slammed against gravel. Truth be told, he wanted to inspect it right away, but that would require for Mikan to stand first; therefore, he'll continue dangling an outstretched palm towards her.

(yank) [ from kakeru! maybe he could have pulled her away from a speeding car or something? tbh, i like the idea of him being school doctor at her last school prior to her transfer to hopes peak, but i also don’t mind you going the AU route of him being the school doctor at hopes peak! ] @causalitylinked

her   heart   knows   she   cannot   feasibly   be   that   clumsy.   some   of   it   was   with   purpose,   carefully   orchestrated   delineation   of   feminine   vulnerability   :   never   under   the   commination   of   danger.   danger   that   grows,   elevates   itself,   all   the   risk   of   bruised   knees   and   broken   bones,   cracked   rib   cage   impious   to   any   and   all   tenderness   laying   within.   as   such,   it's   become   anticipated   for   mikan   to   take   an   unexpected   tumble,   ankles   hooking   onto   an   outstretched   foot   waiting   for   the   lamb   to   wander   into   the   dark   forest.

this   time,   it's   when   she's   (   lilting   and   tentatively   )   on   the   sidewalk,   absently   gripping   the   wrist   of   her   right   arm   with   the   fingers   of   her   left,   rubbing   her   thumb   against   her   forearm.   a   method   of   self   -   soothing,   near   indiscernible   to   the   outside   world   /   she's   learned   her   lesson   from   playing   with   her   hair   and   shaking   out   her   hands.   so   perhaps   mikan   is   not   entirely   surprised   when   she   feels   hands   (   unfamiliar,   unkind,   unforgiving   ;   an   enemy   she's   never   known   )   form   against   the   small   of   her   back,   weight   pushing   her   into   the   erotic   moans   of   the   cars   speeding   past.   disenthralled   from   the   weights   of   the   world,   her   eyes   clench   shut,   preparing   herself   for   what   was   to   come.

(   what   was   to   come   was   the   sharp   yanking   of   her   arms   and   body   backwards   away   from   the   road,   exasperated   yelp   forced   past   mikan's   lips   before   she   could   fathom   what   was   happening.   )

the   face   that   focuses   in   from   the   blur   of   her   adjusting   eyes   is   not   one   she   entirely   anticipated,   the   face   of   .   .   .   no,   certainly   that   couldn't   be   one   kakeru   hasegawa.   a   face   she   hasn't   seen   for   at   least   a   few   years,   not   since   she   escaped   the   unkind,   teenage   girl   -   laden   clutches   of   lapis   lazuli   girl's   high   school.   it   takes   just   as   long   for   mikan   to   realize   she'd   inadvertently   tumbled   onto   to   the   sidewalk   after   having   been   yanked   backwards,   roseate   scrape   of   gravel   against   her   knee.   heavy   without   the   knowledge   of   her   assailant,   mikan   nevertheless   offers   her   former   school   doctor   a   tentative   grimace.

❝   awawawa   .   .   .   hasegawa   -   san,   i'm   s-   so   sorry   this   is   h-   how   we   meet   again   !   ❞   desperate   attempts   to   stifle   the   tears   threatening   to   lick   at   her   eyes'   corners.

sdra2 boys reactions to a first kiss from their s/o-

Here you go! These turned out a bit longer than expected haha (plus I almost forgot Hajime aaaaaa)

.........

Teruya

The former merchant was grieving over his friends again, but as much as he tried hiding it--he knew he couldn’t keep it bottled up around you. So he just let himself curl into your arms, clutching the goggles of a certain pilot.

He felt childish for crying like this, though you didn’t judge him, nor the tears that soaked your shirt. Instead you held him close, running a hand through his hair. 

Teruya found that talking about the good memories--as good as any memories of being trapped in the academy could be--with the pilot helped ease his troubled mind. Plus you were curious about his friendship with him.

“He seemed like a comedic guy,” you smiled softly. “A guy with a good heart.”

“Yeah, th-that was Haru alright..” He sniffled, sighing as he felt himself calming down. “Okay..I think I’m alright now. Th-Thank you for listening.”

"Of course, but hmm..I know what’ll cheer you up, Ruya.”

As he raised his head to look at you, what he didn’t expect was to feel you lips against his. But for a first kiss...it was so soft and sweet, just like you’ve always been to him.

You could see a blush on his face as you broke the kiss. He tried to speak, but could only babble random nonsense, to which you just chuckled. “You feel a little better?”

“Y-Yeah..I’m f-feelin’ tons better...”

.........

Yuki

“Are you..serious?” Yuki gawked, expecting you to laugh at his confession. “Y-You really like me that way, too?”

“Of course! And I’ll say it again if I need to.” Grinning, you took his hands and swung them side-to-side a bit. “I truly do like you, Yuki Maeda. So what if you’re “average”? There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Despite how much he wanted to believe your words, he was convinced that he wasn’t anyone special. His talent didn’t make him famous or rich or smart--who would wanna be with someone who was lacking in all three departments?

You could see his eyes starting to cloud over with doubt, but you weren’t gonna have any of that. Fortunately you had an idea that was either smart...or stupid. 

You didn’t care and just decided to kiss him right on the lips. He squeaked in surprise, immediately stiffening up, though it was just a peck and you quickly backed off.

Your face burned with embarrassment, but it got your message across..or so you hoped. “Now do you believe me?”

“I-I....I do..” Yuki stammered, his gaze travelling to your entwined hands. Though he shyly glanced back up at you. “C-Could you..uh..maybe do that again?”

........

Nikei

As you typed away on the computer, you could feel a lingering presence over your shoulder. But you didn’t mind it, knowing there was only one person who was allowed to barge into your office.

“Hey Nik-Nak.”

“Y-You’re seriously giving me a nickname now?” The journalist stammered, though he just sighed and looked at your computer screen. “Anyways..how’s the editing going?”

“So far so good. your dear Ultimate Editor is hard at work.” You kept tapping the keys. “But I noticed a lot more run-on sentences in this one. Looks like somebody’s had a little too much coffee today.”

“Oh please,” he huffed. “We both have very different definitions of “too much coffee”. And I think I know who stole the rest..”

“Sue me.” You joked, reaching up to pat his cheek, before you brought his head down slightly to kiss his other one. “Make some more if your heart desires.”

“..........”

“...Nikei?”

“...s-sure...imma go..uh....yeah. Bye.”

By the time you turned away from the computer, Nikei was already rushing out the door, clutching his hat to hide his face from view. But even in the dark you could tell he was blushing like mad.

How adorable.

........

Shinji

“COME ON, YUKI!! YOU GOTTA HAVE MORE FIYAAAAH THAN THAT!!!”

“He seems tired, Shinji. Cut him some slack.” You chuckled as you watched the two men train together. Poor Yuki was practically wheezing after the run, while Shinji just huffed and kept jogging around the park.

But eventually he made his way over to you and stopped short. “You should join us! Get your blood pumping!!”

“Do I have to?”

“Why not?” He grinned.

You really didn’t wanna run in hot weather like this, and the two seemed like they needed a break. 

So you came up with an idea--a sure-fire way to get him to listen to you. “Hey, Shin? I..gotta tell you something important.” You motioned for him to lean in closer, and he did so in worry, wondering what you had to say.

Though all he got was peck on the lips. It was the first kiss you’ve given him since you two starting going out, so it was quick but sweet. When you moved back you could see him staring at you, face growing beet-red.

“Now will you take a break...please?” You held his hands. 

For a while he seemed speechless--as though his brain short-circuited--before he finally found his voice. “W-W-Well jeez..why d-didn’t ya say so before?”

......

Yuri

“Oh, [y/n]~! I’ve figured out the perfect way to commemorate our first kiss!”

“You have? And what would that be?” You turned around to face the spaceman, noticing he had a box of Pocky. “O-Oh...the Pocky game?”

“What else could it be?” He laughed as he held out a stick between you two. “Since we’re both already familiar with it, why not get started right away~”

Seeing that there was no way out of this, you sighed and decided to agree to the game. You bit down one end of the stick while Yuri bit the other. 

Then you started munching away. Though at the last second, right before your noses could touch, you suddenly moved back, letting him have victory.

“Awh..there’s no need to be shy, my dearest.” He pouted, clearly disappointed. “I understand if you’re not ready yet but-”

However he was cut short when you pulled him by the tie, bringing his lips to yours. His eyes widened to the size of UFOS, though before he could properly react you broke the kiss, smiling as you munched the remaining Pocky you stole from him.

“I win~”

.......

Shobai

“You’re kidding right?”

“It’s like I said--nothing in life comes for free, sweetheart. If ya don’t already know that then..why are we even going out?"

“...we’ve been dating for-”

“You want a kiss? Better pay up.” As ridiculous as it seemed, Shobai looked dead serious about this “deal” you wanted to make with him. 

You didn’t think you’d have to actually pay to get a first kiss. But then again..this man made a living making bizarre deals, so you shouldn’t have been too surprised.

“Alright, if that’s what it takes.” You begrudgingly took out your wallet and opened it. “What do you want for-?”

However, you fell silent when you heard a snicker, and you looked to see his smug grin. But before you could question him, he suddenly leaned down to give you a quick peck on the lips, stunning you, though you tried to seize the moment and kiss him back.

He tasted like smoke, of course. It wasn’t the most pleasant, though your heart still fluttered even after you two broke the kiss. Only then did he notice your dumbfounded expression, and chuckled.

“You know, you can be real gullible sometimes...but that makes you kinda cute.”

.......

Mikado

“Hey um..Mik? Can I ask you something?”

“Oh anything, my dear moon~ Well...erm...there are some things I cannot disclose if you’re curious about Void-”

“A-Ah, nothing like that. I’m just wondering if...I were to kiss you....which side would you prefer?” You gestured to both sides of your face, looking at the wizard with an inquiring expression.

He hummed in thought. “You know..I’ve never had my first kiss before, so I’m not so sure myself. How about I let you surprise me?” The red eye on his mask winked, before he closed his real eye and sat still.

With a sigh, you decided to entertain him, approaching him. But when he opened his eye, you stopped short and huffed. “Hey, what happened to me “surprising” you?”

“Sorry, I was getting..impatient. Carry on.” Once more he closed it, soon feeling you cup the cheek of his maskless side. And he tensed up upon feeling you kiss the corner of his mouth. 

Redness dusted his entire face as he opened his eyes, seeing your smile.

“O-Oh...so that’s how it feels..”

.......

Hajime

“Hajime, it’ll only be for a second. I’ll be right back with medicine-”

“N-No..at least let me go with you..please..”

“You collapsed during training and you’ve been running a high fever ever since. You’re in no condition to walk right now.”

Despite your best efforts, Hajime continued to resist staying in bed. You didn’t think it would be this difficult to get him to stay put, but you knew why he was so upset.

He wasn’t scared of getting sick--he was scared of being abandoned while he was sick. It was a fear instilled into him thanks to his parents and doctors who just..gave up and left him to die, all alone.

That fear showed itself in full-force as he gripped your hand. “D-Don’t abandon me..” He sobbed weakly. “I can’t go through that again..I-I just can’t...”

Your heart ached when you heard those pleas. But as you wondered how you could calm him down...the first brilliant idea to pop in your mind was:

Kiss him.

And so you did, right on the lips, which you knew you’ll regret later. Though Hajime fell silent and looked at you with surprise. “...did you...?”

“Th-That’s..not how I meant our first kiss to go. But I promise you, Hajime..I’m not gonna abandon you.” You ran your fingers through his hair. “Not now, not ever, okay? I will always come back for you.”

His cheeks were more flushed, but he nodded meekly and relaxed back on the bed as you quickly left to retrieve the medicine.

And you kept your promise.
