─「市香」─  " ah, i'm sorry, was i staring ? " the OFFICER didn't realize it until pointed out. a hint of rosy tint dusted her cheeks at the thought. dainty digits came to twirl around her chestnut locks, but the smile on her lips was genuine, as well as the spark in those olive hues of hers. " you seem happy today, ludger-san. and i like seeing your smile so ... " a pause. " sorry, was that too forward ... ? "

sharing a kiss in a heavy downpour of rain . ( ichika! )

─「市香」─  there were a few scary points of being a police officer. first, you, yourself, were likely to be in a dangerous situation that caused your loved ones to worry. that came with the job, actually, and something the OFFICER was used to by now. she reminded herself every single day just why she picked up the badge, why she held the gun, what would make her pull the trigger. it was something she had to drum into her mind repeatedly, so that when the time comes for her to actually pull that trigger, she would not hesitate.

                and second, the fear of your loved ones being in danger whether because of you or not. while she was not the first responders, that didn't mean she wasn't informed when there were URGENT MATTERS that needed their attention. ichika remembered picking up a call from one of the patrolling officers saying there was an illegally armed person causing a commotion. a good citizen was trying to protect the victims, and shots were fired.

                what grabbed at her attention was the NAME of the person who got shot from the incident, and ichika felt her heart dropped as she rushed out of the station, into the pouring rain even before the other could finish their sentence.

                and HE was there, being tended to by the medical team while the assailant was taken into custody. his white shirt was tainted with a patch of CRIMSON as she approached him. he seemed both surprised and not when she showed up, yet the officer felt waves of emotions running through her mind, her fingers were still shaking as the medical staff finished patching him up, commenting how he was lucky to have the bullet only graze his side. and — when she stood there before him, he was chuckling a little as if he hadn't just been in a DANGEROUS situation.

                how one wrong move could've taken him away from her permanently.

                without a WORD, her fingers grasped his unbutton shirt, and pulled him down for a kiss on the lips. she didn't care if the rain was dousing over both of them, or how others might have seen this. her mind, her thoughts, her focus, was all on him and him alone. that flood of relief which washed over her entire frame at the soft, cooler mouth that grew increasingly warm with each passing second. the droplets pouring above then was mixed with a few drops that fell from her lime colored hues. fingers gripped against his clothes as the rain splattered against their skin. she didn't care, however.

                " don't do that again ... " her voice sounded like a plead, the curtain of tears becoming more OBVIOUS than the heavy rain that fell around them. the sounds were muted, for some reasons, even how they were both getting drenched and should've taken proper shelter after. she didn't care.

                " never do that again ... don't make me lose you. "

─「市香」─  a construct's frame could be repaired, the damage and parts could be replaced.

                despite that KNOWLEDGE being something common, it didn't mean knowing it would put her mind at ease especially when she hated the thought of him getting hurt. the commandant remembered the tears that welled up in her eyes when she felt her wounds slowly disappearing in the middle of the BATTLE after the GRAY RAVEN was separated in an ambush. the gashes and injuries fading from her skin were then appearing on HIS features, one by one.

                it was a decision made for them to get out of that emergency situation, and to make sure she wouldn't lose too much blood that would endanger her health. now that they have returned to babylonia, they had to wait for the STAR OF LIFE to treat others before they could take a look at him as they viewed his damage to not be life-threatening. so seeing her wounds on him made it difficult for her to hold back the tears, especially when he took even more blows in order to protect her.

                " just because they could be repaired doesn't mean they don't hurt. " it was a FACT, and he would know better than anyone. her soft hands came over his mechanical ones, squeezing quietly as though she was trying to bite back the droplets threatening to fall.

                " i don't like it, seeing you get hurt. we're supposed to share the pain. i can take them, too, from you. "

[lunaetis]

─「市香」─  " nya ~ "

[lunaetis]

─「市香」─  bait, he said. as expected. there was no way she would be able to catch up with him if he didn't intend it to be so. the FEMALE OFFICER wanted to take a step back in caution, yet, seeing as he was unarmed, she allowed the distance between them to diminish and lime hues watched him carefully.

                " proposition ? that's why you led me here ? " despite her determination to capture him, there was a clear sense of CURIOSITY that brewed ever since this cat and mouse game of theirs had started. he's different from other criminals, and she had been wondering about his intention and goal. there was more to it than meet the eyes, she felt. lips thinned, but her gaze was held steadfastly to his person.

                " all those encounters ... you were testing me. " realization dawned upon her, but she didn't pull her hand away from his, not yet, at least. " i'm listening. "

“I thought you’d take the bait mademoiselle.” The masked thief spoke with a rather confident smile on his face before approaching the officer, good that she came without the partner because honestly Lupin was the only partner she’ll need. The one that CAN explore the place the badge would otherwise forbid her. “Now that you’re here I’ve got quite the proposition for you-” He spoke as he gently took a hold of her hand. “Or if you prefer we can simply carry on tonight with a little game of cat and mouse.”

─「市香」─  " g-gokudera-san ! h-here ! " with her voice raised, the police officer couldn't help cursing herself inwardly at how she wasn't able to keep her voice steady. that said, her hands were holding a box of chocolate with a cute little bow tied neatly around it. it should be self-explanatory as to what this was for, given the date she had decided to give him these. " i made them ... for you. um ... would you accept them ? " she had spent the whole night perfecting them, too, so she was quite proud of it, and was hoping it would be to his liking.

                " also, um ... could you wait until i leave before reading the note ? " the note she had poured her heart and feeling into was tucked under the ribbon, basically a love letter and a confession, but she didn't think she had it in her to stay while he read it, hence the request. she'd die of embarrassment, that was for sure !

@ofstarsandskies asked :

Ludger's VDay Application for Ichika your name: Ludger Will Kresnik your age: 22 your perfect date: I’m the sappy type, so a warm pot of soup while we’re snuggling close near our fireplace sounds pretty nice. But a quiet evening dinner on a rooftop at night is a close second.  make out in private or in public?: Private. I-I think my heart would explode if I started getting steamy in front of other people. do you like to cuddle?: Very much! I still do with my cat, but he doesn’t like it. tell me something about you: I won a baking contest once, but I got too nervous about using my name, so I entered under my brother’s name. It was kind of funny hearing people praise “Julius Will Kresnik”, the big brother who’d burn your water somehow.  why do you want to be my valentine?: I’ve always admired the way you carry yourself at work, especially when people are more critical of the police than ever. And when I finally talked to you, it made me appreciate you more. So... I know I need to be more forward for this to work! And asking to be your valentine’s a good step!

A VALENTINE’S APPLICATION. || accepting

─「市香」─  the OFFICER almost dropped the stack of paperwork she was carrying when she found an application placed upon her desk. if anything, even before reading it, the neat handwriting and how familiar it was ( given the countless notes he had left her before ) already told her WHO it belonged to. seated herself upon the chair, she then began to read. god, she was thanking her luck how no one was there within the room as they went out for lunch because she was feeling her face reddening with each line. aaah, this is bad.

                she did let out a small laugh at the mention of cuddle. the image of him trying to cuddle with the ROUND CAT while being rejected was actually quite an adorable picture to think of. and putting his brother's name in a baking contest ? she was holding back her smile at the thought.

                her heart was beating loudly inside her chest, but she couldn't help her eyes immediately catching his silhouette at the door. " ludger-san ! " her movement was QUICK this time, and her hand reached for his, squeezing his palm a little. he went out of his way to send her this, so it was only fair she made sure he knew how much he was appreciated, too.

                " ludger-san ... if it's alright with you, i'd love to be your valentine. "

Julius laughs to himself from across the office. "Gearing up for another 'save my kitty' mission, Officer Hoshino?"

─「市香」─ " just practicing to make sure i get it right ! " one would think she was joking, but it was actually something effective in drawing out lost cats. " the last time i did it, i think i drew out one of the neighbor cats and two stray cats. maybe i might have the gift of being a cat-whisperer ? "

[lunaetis]

─「市香」─  his words were soft, and the COMMANDANT was more or less unable to actually provide any counter to his rationale. she hated that fact, however. the fact that babylonia would sooner abandon a construct than a human commandant. so his reasoning, and his actions regarding the way he had utilized their soul-link in order to take all her injuries onto his own frame was on-point, to babylonia's standard. and ichika despised it, so, so much.

                " you — " he said it like it was weather, like it was something miniscule, the fact that he disabled his pain receptors. the commandant felt her heart tightening, and her fingers that were over his prosthetic hand squeezed just a little tighter. " i didn't authorize that — disabling the pain receptors ! you know i wouldn't let you do that unless absolute necessary ! "

                perhaps, that was the reason he did it without informing her. and out of ALL MEMBERS of gray raven, he was probably the only one who could override the commanding level in order to deactivate that part of his frame. she GRITTED her teeth, lowering her head slightly and fingers curled into fists. " doing that ... increased your chance of M.I.N.D. deviation ! you know that. it's dangerous — what if — " ah, the emotions. she could feel herself losing that grip, the control of her own feelings for him versus the goal to complete the MISSION.

                " i can bear the pain ... i'm also there to fight with you. i don't want you to take on everything alone. if M.I.N.D. deviation occurred ... it'd be worse. it's — " i could lose you. i don't want that.

-> he UNDERSTANDS the mortal aspect of the immortality provided by his artificial frame.

however, despite that knowledge, he CONTINUED to absorb every aspect of the damage she sustained. He understood how it hurt her to see the wounds disappear, paleflame plumes continuing to absorb every gash, every injury, marring her features. he SHOULD have been faster, faster in seeing the ambush, in getting Liv out of harms way before returning for her, the commandent who's every waking moment thawed the ice lingering around his HEART.

every moment on the evac he was aware of the encroaching darkness at the corners of his eyes, mental command after mental command turning off the pain receptors that laced beneath ARTIFICIAL skin. he understands why BABYLONIA does not rush to treat him, knowing if the need arises they would sooner override hyperreal or entropy than repair the damage he'd willingly taken onto himself. this body was expendable when it came to her.

"Better me to hurt than you Ichika" the words are soft-spoken, strained in a way that almost begged her not to blame herself for the state his CONSTRUCTED body was in. he can feel the phantom sensation of soft digits squeezing the mechanical joints, even as he leant forward to rest her head against hers.

" Don't. I disabled my pain receptors, you shouldn't have to bear this. "

❛ i’m just glad you’re okay. ❜ / yuzuru and ichika!

&. 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. || accepting

─「市香」─  the deeper they dug through, the darker things seemed to be. ichika remembered sitting in her own BED, reading through all the reports and information she managed to find within the database. she wasn’t sharp and witty like others within the agency, so she had to work twice as hard, if not thrice. the fear of something happening to her due to the COLLAR placed on her neck was one thing, but she wouldn’t forgive herself should anything happened to her younger brother.

                so they needed to put an END to this, as fast as possible.

                during her researching session and going through the archive of X-DAY incidents, she caught something rather VALUABLE. a link from the past to present day recordings ? she couldn’t be sure until she had checked it herself. maybe, she could bring this to the people at the AGENCY to look at.

                anxious as she was, the rookie leapt off her bed, ignoring the late night and leaving a text to AIJI that she was going to pay them a visit with something she found. perhaps, she really was CARELESS that she failed to notice someone lurking within the shadow. her footsteps quickened, now realizing she was being followed and the moment she realized was when her form was YANKED back forcefully, so much that it knocked the air out of her lungs.

                FEAR gripped her entire being, hand reaching for her weapon but then the form of that man was pulled back almost VIOLENTLY so. the next thing she knew, RED splattered from the person’s mouth from the impact of strong kick right into his face —

                the roaring of the STRANGER cutting through the night air and the back of someone familiar came into view had her mind pausing.

                “ sae ... ki ... ? ” was all she could get out, as her ASSAILANT immediately fell backwards, gathering his bearing and fleeing into the night before her friend could’ve landed yet another blow. her form was trembling slightly, feeling her own breath stolen by both surprise and ...

                — the realization that her collar was visible when he turned around and his eyes immediately beelined to her NECK. panic began to set in as he approached her, however, instead of asking her ANYTHING, his strong arms placed his coat over her, wrapping them around her form and his usual smile came into view.

                ❛ i’m just glad you’re okay. ❜

                instinctively, she pulled his coat tighter, attempting to hide the COLLAR that seemed to reflect the light upon the streetlamp nearby. she didn’t know why, but she felt chills running down her spine at the thought that HE would know what was going on. but ... did he not see it ? was that even possible ? words were stuck in her throat, and she was afraid to actually ask if he saw it. fingers gripped at his COAT, his scent that clung to the fabric brought a sense of comfort, of nostalgia, of safety and warmth. there were so many mixed feelings she had in her chest when gazing up at him. his demeanor ... it was somehow different. she just couldn’t put her finger on it as to how.

                “ you saved me. thank you, saeki. but what are you ... doing here ... ? ”

─「市香」─  the female officer had been staring at him without a word as he was reading something on his phone. seemingly she was contemplating something but hadn’t made a decision about it yet. carefully and subtly, though, she scooted closer towards the other, and before he could say anything, she leaned in to steal a kiss from his lips.

                “ i just wanted to do that. ” her own cheeks were dusted with light pink, but she was giving him an innocent puppy eyes look while her own heart was thumping a little. “ can’t i ? ”

@selfiestar​ asked :

with ichika's back to the soundproofed wall of the practice room, the actor's hands move skillfully, one pawing over her breast through fabric while the other has long since dipped beneath her skirt, hitching the fabric up over his forearm. and there he strokes, caresses over thinner material, firmly enough to feel that heat and the dampness against his fingertips. zen's lips, capturing his lover's again and again, are soft and passionate.

with his hand growing impatient, slender fingers hook into that last layer of fabric to drag it aside, now feeling that warmth and wetness in full. the middle finger threatens to press into her, focusing its attention at her centre, dipping in just enough to make his intentions known; maybe he's teasing, maybe he's just making sure her body's ready to accept it.

─「市香」─  she could hardly think straight with her own mind completely melting to his very movements. back rested against the wall, she unconsciously thanked her luck that the room was SOUNDPROOFED or else the soft mewl escaping her lips in between the passionate lip-lock would be heard by those passing by. his taste overtook her own, as cheeks deepened in color of crimson at the pleasure he bestowed upon her. her lithe form was literally shaking from ecstasy, so much that she had to grab at his shoulder to keep herself standing.

                “ zen ... hah — ! ” the sound of his name was interrupted by a sweet moan, followed quickly with her hips rising to meet his teasing digit that left her wanting more. ichika could feel her body BURNING, insides throbbing with desire as her own form responded to him the way he had taught her. soft tongue sought for his own, panting harshly against his lips. her own moisture coating his long finger. the realization of how much she was longing for him was sending her mind into heated mess.

                “ please ... ” a honey-dripped whimper, tongue parting from his own only momentarily. her hips rose, fingers clutching at his clothing, yet her own embarrassment prevented her from actually uttering the word out. deeper.
