Our Pin

When Darkwick allows you to choose one of the houses to join, how will they convince you?

Inspired by this ask/post.

Frostheim “Wait,” Jin grunts at you as you approach the door, done with his errands for the day. He tosses something at you which you barely manage to catch. When you do, you recognize the deep blue pin. “You’d be set for life with the connections you make here. Choose wisely.” Jin is a man of few words, but you’d hear most of Frostheim’s pitch from Kaito who basically begs you to join them. Lucas would come with a few logical points about why you should choose Frostheim, and Tohma would keep you so busy with tasks, you wouldn’t be able to visit other houses during your decision period.

Vagastrom “It’ll be pretty cool if we lived a little closer together, Senpai. I’ll cook for you every day.” Sho is the only one who’d want you at Vagastrom. Alan gives you a stern warning not to do something so dangerous. Leo’s existence alone convinces you to stay far away.

JabberwockThey use their fluffy animals to their full advantage. Haru takes you on a Cappybus tour to see all the cutest animals while Towa engulfs you in the most fragrant flowers. Ren might actually beg you to join them too since you are actually willing to do the chores. Towa gives you such a puppy look while Haru discreetly pins the orange brooch onto your lapel. Peekaboo lets out the saddest “Booo” when you leave for the day. How can you ever refuse them? 

SinostraRomeo had given Taiga a lecture on their objective just before you were scheduled to meet them, so the captain actually remembers who you are when you walk in. “Hello, Kitten,” he purrs as you come in with some documents. He somehow gets you strapped into his torture chair and is about to stab the brooch into your jacket when Romeo bursts in. “You’re supposed to convince her, not force her!” “Why? It’s so much easier this way.” Taiga spins his revolver before placing it on your temple. Ritsu steps in at this moment to quote some law that no one is really paying attention to. Taiga and Romeo get into such an argument that no one notices you slipping away and running for your life.

Hotarubi The three invite you over for tea. At the end of it, Subaru presents you with the amethyst brooch in an intricately carved wooden box. “We would love it if you would join Hotarubi, PC. Of course, we want you to make the decision you believe is best for you, but you should know you are always welcomed and appreciated here.” As Haku walks you home, he purposefully takes a scenic route through Hotarubi. He’d gently pitch his own house but reminds you they are here for you no matter what decision you make. 

ObscuaryWas unfortunately not one of the options available to you. Rui is quite relieved though. He isn’t sure how he can live constantly worried about touching something as weak as a human. He also knows he could never live with himself if something happened to you, and the risk of it increases so much more if you stayed in his dorm. Lyca is completely bummed though. He thought he had a chance to finally have a friend at the dorm. He does not understand why you can’t stay at Obscuary since he’s here and he’s human too. Ed thinks it’s a shame, but he is sure you’d visit often still.

Mortkranken“Humph! You should feel honored to even be considered joining Mortkranken,” Yuri gloats, dangling the brooch in front of you. “He desperately wants you to join,” Jiro deadpans. “Jiro! Can you shut it! I mean, I wouldn’t mind if you did since you are a very interesting subject.” Yuri’s blush isn’t fooling anyone as he shoves the teal accessory into your hands. Despite his shyness, he still keeps you around for another three hours helping him pipette. As you get ready to leave, he calls your name. “Consider it. You… You aren’t repulsive, at least.”

A/N: Thank you to those who sent in prompts. I'm sorry if I don't get to yours, but I will only be writing those that spark an idea. I don't want to write something bleh just to fulfill an ask. Thank you for your submission though!

[tearwolfe]

As an idol, Tsukasa's contract prohibits him from forming a romantic relationship with anyone. A star like him could live perfectly fine on his own, anyway. He was used to holding people at a distance.

Rui was no different. Their relationship wasn't real. It wasn't allowed. Their countless nights spent together visiting expensive shops and watching musical performances were just a bit of fun. Even if love was shared between them, they could never make it official.

As long as Tsukasa aimed for the stardom he so desperately desired.

It seemed that Tsukasa's arrogance would catch up to him. As much as he longed for Rui's embrace, it never dawned on him to reach out to Rui past that. Rui wasn't just some lovesick fanboy. And if Tsukasa were ever able to look past his own narcissism, maybe he would have realized that.

Tsukasa's vanity would be what severed the one true escape he had from his turmoil. Rui really did try his best to show Tsukasa to look past himself, to find enjoyment in life off the stage. He was naiive to think that he could fix Tsukasa, and naiive to fall in love with him.

Tsukasa's words were painful and Rui's patience was running thin. After his final words, Rui left Tsukasa in the street, cutting the string connecting them that he so desperately had tied.

Perhaps Rui would also find fault in his own failure to change Tsukasa with how his story ends.

NEXT

note: tsukasa and rui's argument is much longer, but more of the same, paraphrased, tsukasa being adamant that his status as a celebrity puts him on a higher level than rui. i just didn't want to draw 20 frames of their faces as they argued.

also, tsukasa is not intending to be fatphobic to rui. his point is that non-idols don't have to worry about what they eat, drink, put on their body, but since he's an idol, he can't just willy-nilly eat whatever. he unfortunately suffers from toxic idol diet culture and is not self-aware of this.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ @stellas-starry-stories13 request: toya, rui, and akito with a gf who loves children and babies? :3

thanks pookie <3

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Ofc!!! I actually had lots of fun writing it hihi ^^

I hope I didn't mischatactarize anyone cuz... I didn't real ALL events yet but... Yeah! Hopefully it's good!!

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ fluff

✧ I feel like Akito is not only bad but also gets annoyed by kids pretty easily... so you're like opposites!

✧ it's not like he intends to be rude, but he doesn't necessarily puts "good face" when he's taking to one

✧ but if he sees that you clearly have a soft spot for them, he'll try to at least not scare them

✧ though every time after you walk away from a kid, he'll usually complain about how much you adore those little humans

"Must you stop at every kid? And what's up with them randomly giving you flowers and rocks?! Tch... I can get you better ones if you really like them so much..."

✧ he MAY be a little jealous if he sees you spoiling kid with affections... even if it's clearly mother-like

✧ expect him to try nagging you or making up excuses for you two to go if you take too much time playing around

✧ also you're absolutely not allowed to stay alone with Ena... he knows damn too well she'll try telling you or even showing you pictures from when he was a child... And he absolutely CANNOT handle the teasing

✧ Toya actually really likes kids! It turns out differently but his calm nature usually helps him

✧ he may not be as energetic as you though but he'd still be down to play some calmer games with kids if you were asked!

"Hide&Seek? How about I seek then? I doubt I'll be able to run or climb as well as you two..."

✧ he's really sweet too~ maybe he's a bit of a spoiling type but still tries to keep healthy boundaries

✧ he definitely makes sure to include kids opinion and what they want. It may be consequences of his past... but at least the kids may feel included and not forced!

✧ if a kid ever comes up to you and gives you flower or rock, or whatever small present they found, he'll simply chuckle and tease you just a little bit about your encounter~

✧ and if you have a baby sibling, cousin or so that you often take care of, be ready for him to never turn down helping you! Especially if they're well behaved

✧ he may not know may not know everything but he learns quickly and certainly has his way with at least calmer kids! It's energetic ones that make him have troible catching up sometimes...

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

@bleachtheidiot @akitosheart @yulikesminori @toyaswif3y @miya-akane @toyaslove @stellas-starry-stories13 @sucodelaranja86 - come get your cookie lover~

✧ Rui is a crazy man. He may even be called childish! So as you can expect, he's most likely good with kids

✧ and it's not only energetic ones! He has soft sides for his too Hello? Are you lost? moment

✧ with calmer kids, he's definitely more gentle and speaks softer. Especially if the kid is lost or something...

✧ but he won't mind if the kid is energetic either! In fact, it only fuels him!

✧ he adores how creative kids may be and will gladly join ANY games they may offer

"Y/N! Come here we need a princess! He'll be a knight and I'll be a dragon~"

✧ in short, he's really great for playing with kids! So it's sure that whenever you encounter a kid that invites you to join their game, most likely none of you won't turn it down and instead will put your heart into it! Gaining some weird stares from parents on the way but kids are having fun so.. oh well...

✧ he's not as good with taking care if them though... he doesn't have any siblings and he didn't took care of any baby in his past either...

✧ so if you're in care of one... he most likely won't help much with anything else than games... He even makes up excuses to avoid changing diapers...

Your Touch on My Skin

Tokyo Debunker

Rui x Reader

Tags: Fluff, slight emotional hurt/comfort, smut, frottage, clothed sex, oral sex

You sat in Mortkranken’s underground lab. It wasn’t the first time you were here. Yet, this time seemed more important than any other before. Maybe because this time wasn’t for you. While your curse has been dealt with. Your boyfriend’s remained. Well, not for much longer. After all, with years of research, trials and errors. The Mortkranken duo had claimed to have finally found the cure. When Yuri tried to actually explain what they had done, it was like listening to another independent language. 

So that’s where you found yourself. Anxiously waiting for a chance to finally hold Rui’s hand, hug him close, kiss him, and maybe some other things too. It was a long road to get where you two were. Even when he flirted with you back when you had just met. It was like an invite to get closer, yet as you started to get to know him better you realized it was but a front that he put on. To hide his pain and suffering. As you got closer, reaching out towards him, the colder he got, running further away from you. But you were persistent, even when he refused to look you in the eye, even when you had to appear at random times at the Obscuary dorm to catch him. Even after that, your relationship was rocky with him being unsure about his ability to stay beside you without accidentally killing you. 

Yet through thick and thin, your stubbornness won out in the end. And while it wasn’t the typical romance with holding hands and kissing in every corner of the Academy, you have been happy. 

Even now, as you waited anxiously, you were positive that even if this possibility turned out negatively, it wouldn’t impact your security in the relationship. Even if you could never touch him, even if he can never touch you, you wouldn’t want anyone else to share your life with. However, you also knew how  desperate he was to be normal again, to be able to share all the boring things together. 

When Jiro called you in later, you were both nervous and excited. When you looked at Rui, you could see the same emotions reflected on his face and in his body language. When Yuri put a little potted plant in front of him, you watched as he pulled one of his gloves off and hesitantly reached out to touch it.

When it didn’t immediately turn to dust, hope moved into his light, rose coloured eyes. Yet he still held onto the plant for minutes, maybe would have continued to hold onto it indefinitely if Yuri didn’t become annoyed and ordered you two out of his office. As you were standing before the Mortkranken dormitory you looked at him.

“Do you think we can try holding hands?”

He looked at you immediately, that you were afraid he might hurt himself. His mouth moved without giving out sounds. It was cute, so alien from his always chattering on to fill the space between you. Of all the flirting, that, while changed over time in your relationship, never ceased. 

“Are you sure,” he asked, unsure still. 

“Yup!” You reach out and gently reach to his hand, letting him pull back the second before you would touch. When he tentatively reached back, you clasped them together. Hearing him let out a quiet gasp, you let him get used to the skin contact he had been missing for so long and smiled up at him. 

“This is… great, honestly,” his voice was shaky, the flirt you had been introduced to at first was overwhelmed by the sheer emotions a touch can bring. You didn’t want to be in his stead for all those years, living without a touch, fearing even the thought. What it could be like. How it felt after to finally get the first drop of water in the desert. 

“How about we go back to your dorm,” you asked, seeing how he fared. He wouldn’t want the whole school to see him in this state. At his nod you started to pull him towards Obscuary. The day’s sun changed to the ever crescent moon of the dorm’s grounds. You led him to his room, the farthest from the other two’s in an attempt to save them from himself. 

As you settled down onto his bed, pulling him to sit down, you finally felt him relax, believing that it was all true, that he no longer had to be cautious of accidental manslaughter.

“What do you need,” you asked, squeezing his hand lightly. 

He looked at you, finally showing some of his bravado. The usual playfulness glinted in his eyes once again as he pulled you down with him. You landed squarely on his bed, half on top of him.

“Can I hold you for a while?” He pulled you closer, burrowing into you, as if trying to soak up as much contact as possible. 

“Sure,” you held him back, petting his hair slowly. It was just as silky as you have imagined. Like a well groomed kitty’s fur. You would love to play with it until Obscuary’s night turns into day again.

As you petted him, from his hair to his back, alternating between the two, you could feel as the tension left his body. He slowly fell asleep in your embrace. And as you watched his peaceful expression while clinging to you, you let the sleep pull you under too.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

You woke to the quiet whimpers Rui let out in his sleep, clutching you closer to himself. 

“No!!” He gasped out, waking himself and immediately pushing you away. 

“Hush, I’m fine, look,” you could guess his nightmare. It didn’t take an astrophysicist to guess it. You gently laid your hand on his cheek. It took a while for him to calm down and believe that he did not, in fact, kill you. When his breath normalized once again, he looked at you, resembling a kicked puppy if you were honest.

“I’m sorry to wake you up.”

“It’s fine.” You murmured to him and kissed his temple. His breath hitched but then he turned to you. Gently, still so very afraid, he cupped your face and brought you closer, your breaths mingling in the space in between you.

“Is this okay,” you heard him ask. You nodded and closed the distance between you.

It was just as magical as you would have thought when you were little and read the magical kiss that would turn a frog into a prince by breaking a curse. Well, the order may have differed this time. The prince has always been a prince, and the curse had to broken first, but one thing was the same. The love between the two people, in the fairy tales and here, in his bed.

As the kiss deepened he let his hands wander slowly, feeling you exist, not crumble at his mere touch.

“Can I touch you some more? I want to feel you. I wish to see you flush under my hands. Oh, how much I fantasized about you such, darling.”

Oh, you weren’t actually ready for the full attention you would get from him now. Not only his words, but his touch from now on. You might as well die here right now from happiness and embarrassment. While you weren’t unfamiliar with each others’ bodies, touch will be a new factor. You couldn’t even count how many times he talked you through your orgasms. If all those words will be paired with his touch now… You might as well combust now!

“Yes,” you answered back, also taking the liberty to run your hand down his back and grabbing his shirt. As he helped you out of yours, you also stripped him. You felt his back under your hands, his muscles that he developed by literally always being in motion due to his excess energy, the smooth skin that was near feverish hot in his aroused state. All the small details you couldn’t memorize until this day.

And he did the same with you, starting out at your belly, featherlight touches that were on the verge of being ticklish. Up to your shoulders, down on your arms, where he interlocked his fingers with yours. Then his mouth took over, following the invisible path that his fingers made before.

As he reached the underside of your breasts, he stopped, nudging your bra.

“Can I take this off?” You nodded at his request and lifted yourself up to unclasp it. As it fell away, the cold air making goosebumps rise on your skin. He softly cupped one in his hand while leaning over you again as you laid back.

“Fuck, baby you are perfect. Fit so good in my hand,” he whispered into your mouth, drawing you into a kiss. He caressed the skin, circling your nipple with his thumb, squeezing you periodically. With his hands moving so, your breath became heavier, arousal pooling in your stomach and small moans slipped into the kiss.

Not one to leave him unattended to, you caressed down his back before your hands changed course and found his erection. He gasped into your mouth and instinctually thrust into your hand.

“Not playing fair anymore, huh? Let me explore you some more too.”

He lowered his head to play with your breast, placing gentle kisses on the underside, biting into the flesh to mark you as his. When he reached your nipple he sucked on it, playing to his heart’s content with his tongue, fanning the flames in your body, drawing out gasps and moans. His hand wasn’t rest either, pulling your leg up, he settled in between them to reach you better.

It was better than the fantasies, you would bet it was better than any toys or anyone else, just because it was him playing your body like an instrument. A willing one for sure. You lifted your hips to get a sliver of relief to your hot pussy while also stimulating him. You pulled him into your breasts more, threading your fingers through his hair to encourage him.

“That feels so good, Rui,” you told him when he looked up through his eyelashes. You bucked your hips, trying to bring him pleasure, grinding on his erection the best you could in this position. 

After finding the position completely ridiculous to stay in, you rolled him with a push to his shoulder. You let him lean back against the headboard, then promptly straddled him. Grinding down onto him, his hands clutched you closer and pulled you down into him more.

“You look so beautiful above me, as if you were made for me.” He pulled you down harder, thrusting his hips up as you grinded on him faster. The room was hot, the chilly air replaced by your breaths, the rising body temperatures. The silence broken by your moans, his grunts and the noises your bodies produced while chasing pleasure. 

“You feel so good, Rui. So good for me.” You pulled him into a filthy kiss, picking up the pace, then rasped into his ear. “I love you.”

Going by the sounds he made, it wouldn’t take long for him to orgasm. You couldn’t blame him, you didn’t fare any better. After the time you spent without his touch, after the time he spent without any touch. As he clutched you harder and his movements became erratic you let him twitch under you. Heard his gasp, which ended in a soft moan. It was intoxicating, bringing him pleasure like this. If you weren’t completely soaking your panties until now, well this would have totally made it so. Whether his slacks were wet from your arousal or his own cum? Probably the mixture of both. Which was totally hot.

He looked at you, somewhere between shy, irritated, and apologetic after he came down from his high. 

“That was unfair,” came the pouting complaint.

“That was hot. You looked so sexy. And felt even better,” you praised, showering him with a myriad of kisses. 

“What about you?” He pulled you closer, as if wanting to swallow you whole. He rested his head on your shoulder, biting into your skin, leaving a mark. He soothed the slight pain with kitten licks, all the while staring into your eyes seductively. 

“I’m fine.” You petted his hair, letting him know that it wasn’t a need to go out of his way for you now. It wouldn’t be the first time you went to sleep with arousal still brimming in your veins. It was nice to be able to do something for him. 

“Nah. Let me taste you some more tonight,” he kissed the words into your skin. When you nodded in consent, he laid you down, making a home for himself in between your thighs. His hands trailing up your legs. You let him undress you completely, only your black tights stayed on you, giving you a debauched look even before he touched you down there.

He placed your legs on his shoulder as he licked you in a long stripe. You let out a gasp at the new stimuli, no one has ever done this to you yet. He dived in with enthusiasm, tasting you to his heart’s content, licking into you, flicking your clit with his tongue before sucking it into his mouth to play with it. The feeling was indescribably good, it lit your body on fire with each flick and suction. 

“You taste divine, dear.”

He looked up at one of your louder moans. Licking his lips slowly, so seductively, tasting your slick even more. It shined on his lips, and down his chin, letting you know just how much you were producing, how fucking much he turns you on. He let his thumb take over his tongue’s work, putting pressure onto your clit and circling it. Making you positively purr at his attention.

“I found the perfect recipe for a night to remember…” He flicked your clit, making you cry out at the feeling, he knew just how to fan the flames in your veins to bring you to your peak as fast as the Galaxy Express travels everywhere.

“It starts with you. Ends with you. And has nothing but you in between.” He kissed a bruise into your thigh with each sentence, marking you unrecoverably as his. His to cherish, to pleasure, to dote on. “Preferably in my bed. Riding my tongue, my fingers, my cock.” 

You were so close already, as he leaned back down playing your body as he wished you saw the end line in all its glory. When he added his finger to the mix, inserting it into you, trying to find your G-spot, one of your hands shot out to take his free one, interlocking your fingers. When he crooked his finger, he found it with a precision of someone who played with your body countless times before. The double assault was too much, his mouth on your clit and his fingers in you. You tried to warn him, trying moving your hips away, but he followed you as if you were the first pond of fresh water in a desert. Given the futility, you let your body take over. Your free hand found his hair, pulling him even closer  to your pussy if possible, trying to feel all of the pleasure at once. Your voice must have been loud enough to wake the dead.

As you fell, his hand remained a link to the real world while you rode out your orgasm. When you got back to your sober, if orgasm - doped mind, you let go of Rui’s hair, letting him straighten up. 

“Sorry,” you apologized immediately. It wasn’t in your plans to strangle him! 

He chuckled. And when you met his eyes, he looked satisfied, his lips red, and slightly puffy from all the kissing and other activities, and if you thought he was wet from you before… He licked his finger, tasting you some more before he wiped his face. 

“I wish to do this everyday. Seeing you fall apart so beautifully for me is addicting,” he told you matter of factly, gathering you in his arms and getting up. “Maybe I should take you in the bar next. Up on the counter, so I can always remember when a patron annoys me.” He walked towards the bathroom to clean up both of you. You swatted his shoulder playfully, leaning into his embrace, letting yourself be pampered a bit.

“You will first take me back to your bed and fuck me properly.” You nuzzled into him, feeling sleepy once again. You were sure that after the bath that Rui no doubt will pamper you with, you will fall asleep in his arms. And he will sleep in yours. After all, there was no rush, you had all the time now. You could enjoy each other whenever, wherever, and however long you wished to. It was a sweet knowledge. Sweet as the kiss he placed on your lips as he lowered you into the tub of hot water, following you in afterwards. 

“Deal.”

I wonder if the PJSK characters ever notice the players actions. Wouldn’t it be so wonderful?

On her way to the store, Kanade notices a tiny flicker of Sekai Sprinkles™ flickering from her phone. She thinks nothing of it, only remembering when Mafuyu comments on a new fish swimming around the aquarium and freshly mended cracks on the mirror. The way the Sakai seems to hum with a comforting whisper, almost enveloping them all in a gentle embrace every time they arrive. Fresh blankets and pillows piled around the stage, boxes of bottled water and non-perishable snacks always fully stocked. Nobody knows who keeps everything maintained, but they always know exactly which flavor of cake to get for Ena’s birthday, and the fabrics and jewels Mizuki needs for every new costume they make.

Ichika sometimes thinks she sees a figure darting through the halls of the school Sekai. Shadowy, always out of reach, but not quite malicious. It seems to watch her sometimes, listen to her conversations. Nobody knows who it is, or maybe nobody is willing to fess up, but they all agree that the Sekai’s halls have been more well kept since they started appearing. Desks polished and shining, boards clean and uniform, CDs organized and instruments always in peak condition. Little additions seem to sneak their way in along with the cleaning sprees, small chibi stickers of the band members and vocaloids finding their ways onto everyone’s equipment. Saki adores them, but Shiho is just a tad more skeptical. Honami supposes it’s endearing, if not a little terrifying.

During a performance in the stage Sekai, Minori sees a lone white pair of glow sticks shining amidst the ocean blue like a glimmer of sunshine reflecting off the waves. She does her best to find the audience member, but they fade away into the crowd in no time. Haruka whirls her away, laughing as she finally catches up to Minori and tells her to take a break. A few new songs had appeared in the Sekai for them to listen to, playing gently over the speakers scattered around the stage. A few beanbag chairs had also been placed comfortably around the backstage area to give everyone a place to lounge around and relax. Sometimes Airi wonders where everything comes from, but Rin and Miku always seem to deflect her questions. Sometimes, Shizuku would catch them acting strangely, waving or winking to the empty air around the Sekai. Stranger still was when the Sekai seemed to hum back at them, Sekai Sprinkles™ flitting around their fingers like curious fireflies.

Tsukasa, even though he’d long accepted that he would never know everything about the Wonderland Sekai, always seemed to startle when random music began to blare across the stage speakers. New CDs appear in the audio office at least once a week, new songs and parts arranged and compiled neatly for their performances. The mood always seems to match whatever play they were performing. Melancholy and slow, fast paced and goofy- by this point the group had at least one song for every occasion. The growing stock of songs came with new shelving, installed in the operating office of the Wonderland Sekai. Emu would always take out several songs at a time to listen to or pitch to the others, bringing paper and pencil to illustrate her visions. Corresponding props tended to appear behind the stage, blueprints and machine parts scattered across the floor in an arrangement so chaotic yet so organized. Typical for for Rui. All of them agreed that something was strange, but nothing ever seemed to happen. If there was a force in the Sekai, at least it seemes… Passive, if not supportive. Nene always swears she can feel something watching her as she sings to the flowers, a sound almost like applause floating through the air whenever she falls silent.

Kohane has started noticing new art around the street sekai, pictures and art of VBS sprayed around the walls. Nobody seems to know who’s responsible, but they all agree that the art is pleasant, if a bit strange sometimes. She’s also heard some new music playing when she visits the Street Sekai cafe, continually asking Meiko about it. Kohane wonders where the music comes from and how Meiko finds out about it, but all she receives in response is a wink and a drink placed in her hand. In fact, she and the rest of VBS have all noticed that there always seem to be some questions none of the vocaloids have answers to… or don’t want to answer. Miku herself, despite trying her best to hide it, can sometimes be seen murmuring into the walls somewhere quiet in the endless sidestreets. It’s mostly Akito who finds her, noticing a flash of teal during his walks around the Sekai. As soon as he draws near, Miku always seems to know, spinning around and pulling a grin onto her face as she herds him back to the cafe. An mentions seeing something similar as well, but the two of them mutually agree that it’s… probably nothing to worry about? The Sekai is full of confusing things, they all know that. Toya often talks about doors he’s found around, padlocked and chained shut. Every time he goes near, tries to investigate, someone comes along to distract him. The twins, yanking his hoodie off with a coordinated attack and running away with it. Meiko, asking him to test a new pancake recipe with her. There’s always something about them, an oddly jittery energy in the glances they shoot back at the doors. He’s never had the heart to fight back, even when he noticed Sekai Sprinkles™ flickering and falling from the doors, shadowy hands waving at him from the tiny cracks between frame and door. Still, despite the horror of… Strange limbs appearing, there was something warm about them. Supportive. An would see them waving from audience seats sometimes, dark human figures flickering in the empty cafe seats. As soon as she stepped off of the stage, they would vanish, fading away with a clap or even a toothy smile. Once, one of them even… blew her a kiss? She’d walked around in a confused daze for the rest of the day.

[pjsk-writin]

♡ LONG TIME CHILDHOOD FRIENDS - Akito Shinonome, Rui Kamishiro, Tsukasa Tenma and Mizuki Akiyama x Reader

Akito:

Akito's childhood was neither here nor there, so you both faced a lot of problems together

Any time something went down in his family, he would immediately go to you, not saying anything as he simply wanted to be in your company

When you end up moving away, he's not sure what to do with himself, but he tries to forget about you

Of course he doesn't, he still remembers your favorite color and favorite snack when you were young

You end up bumping into him while he's doing a street performance. You both met eyes as you were walking, and the shock of seeing him again makes you freeze

He's distracted for the first time, barely able to remember his set list as he keeps his eyes on you. There was no way it was you, right?

Immediately afterward, you both run to meet each other, and he can't help himself from hugging you. "When did you get back here? Ah whatever, I'm just glad to see you again."

Rui:

Rui's childhood was...something, to say the least. You were his best friend and he stuck to you like glue

You were with him as he started to get into robotics, encouraging his schemes and plans even when other kids started treating him as a weirdo

Your departure from his life shatters him, but he tries to move on as best as he could

He never moves on. He gets reminded of you all the time, and it kind of breaks his heart.

However, it all changes when you of all people come up to him after a WxS performance. Granted, he didn't see you in the crowd, but you recognized him

You went to tell him how good he did in the show, but he found himself bewildered to be face to face with you again. He almost cries, but he hides it as he embraces you

"Oh my god, it's you..." He whispers, still in shock as he pulls back to smile at you, "I've missed you so much." You spend time catching up with him afterwards!

Tsukasa:

Growing up, Tsukasa had quite the childhood. You were one of his only friends he had growing up

You stuck with him throughout elementary school, helping him as Saki went to the hospital, but you were forced to move away once you both grew older

He promised that he'd find you again one day, and kept a little charm you both made once close to his heart

He never backed down from a promise, and made sure to keep looking out for you even as the years passed

Finally, finally, one day, he saw you walking around Phoenix Wonderland. He recognized the charm you had almost immediately, and practically screamed your name

You were surprised to hear your name in the middle of an amusement park, but when you saw the man currently barreling towards you, it all made sense

He tackled you in the tightest hug he could, already excitedly talking your ear off as he looked you over, his eyes sparkling brightly. "I told you we'd see each other again!"

Mizuki:

You had stuck with Mizuki through a lot, they had been through a lot growing up after all

You had been with them before middle school and through the first year of it, however you both had been separated after you were forced to move

They were extremely upset about losing you, and they would always find themselves missing you on the loneliest of days

As the years passed, they never expected to see you again. It had been way too long, there was no way...

But, when they were out at the mall, they saw you from a random shop and almost dropped everything they had bought in their haste to see you

They called your name out, and you turned to look at them, surprise evident on your face. You both embraced, and you comment they seem happier, especially with how they've changed

They can only smile wide, squeezing you tighter in a hug as they looked down at the ground. "I think I'm even happier now that you're here."

Differentiating the "Black Robes"

For folks who didn't catch it on their own playthrough or (or watch-through) of FF7 Rebirth, here's a quick breakdown of the apparent nature of the people in black robes seen throughout both this game, and previously in Remake.

This differs from OG canon, where everyone in a black robe was a Sephiroth Copy, but in the FF7R timeline they appear to be broken into three "types."

SPOILERS BELOW — READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

NO NUMBER TATTOO means this is a G-type SOLDIER suffering from degradation. These people are terminally ill. Degradation sets in within five years of enhancement [see Note 1 below], and accelerates very quickly without aggressive treatment.

Known G-type SOLDIERs: Roche, Azul, Rosso, and Shelke Rui. Population: over 100.

A ONE- OR TWO-DIGIT NUMBER TATTOO indicates S-type SOLDIERs in the throes of Reunion. These people are not terminally ill, based on dev comments confirming that S-type SOLDIERs don't degrade, but they have a cellular leash that is being constantly yanked on by Sephiroth/Jenova. Without Reunion taking place, most of them would presumably live long, fairly healthy lives. [See Note 2 below.]

Known S-type SOLDIERs: Zack Fair, Kunsel, Luxiere, and Broden. Population: presumed fewer than 100.

A TATTOO STARTING WITH "SC" confirms these people are successful Sephiroth Copies. Failures do not receive a tattoo. They may or may not be terminally ill, contingent upon which type of SOLDIER they were prior to the procedure to make them into a Copy, and the leash on their own cellular makeup is much stricter, much more direct, and gives them a clearer concept of where to go and what to do.

Known Sephiroth Copies: Roche (successful), Zack Fair (declared failure), and Cloud Strife (declared failure). Population: 4 subjects in total, plus 2 known failures.

Tattoos don't seem to be applied at the time of enhancement, since none of the SOLDIERs in Crisis Core have them, but it's possible that early inductees like Broden were marked when they survived the treatments; this seems likely, as Broden's tattoo is in a slightly different typeface than the tattoos of others in his "type."

I didn't include Sephiroth, Genesis or Angeal under known members of their given types, as they were never normal humans and were not enhanced using one method or the other as teens or young adults. Those who are Jenova babies from birth don't count. I also didn't include two members of DeepGround due to the fact that they canonically cannot actually be G-type SOLDIERs based on the lore of how the two of them were made and how they function in general; they may be G-type on paper, but they are not G-type for the purposes of this analysis.

Lastly, I'll admit that this breakdown may appear to be slightly inconsistent during gameplay, but this seems to be due only to the reuse of models between black robed individuals, presumably to take stress off the dev team. I'm fine with this, obviously, no crunch is good crunch. As far as I can tell it's pretty consistent in full cutscenes, though, so I'm sticking with it until the third game proves me wrong.

—

NOTE 1: The timeframe for degradation is based on Roche suffering from the condition prior to his becoming a Sephiroth Copy, which is visible in the fact that he has a handful of incongruously pale streaks through his hair prior to the procedure; an attempt to cure this is presumably the reason he volunteered to work with Hojo in the first place.

According to the Remake Ultimania, Roche joined SOLDIER after the Nibelheim Incident, so he's only been in the program for five years at the most; this timeframe also allows us to recognize S-type SOLDIERs, as they've been in the program for significantly longer with no known ill effects (e.g.: Kunsel has been in the program since at least 2000, but is mentioned by name and indicated to be at headquarters in Remake, showing that he's still on active duty in 0007; this wouldn't be the case if he were suffering from degradation, so he can't be a G-type.)

NOTE 2: The capacity of S-type SOLDIERs to live fairly normal lives with minimal major health issues is proven by the existence of Broden, who identifies himself as a SOLDIER but was certainly part of Project 0; he and Mildred left home as teenagers and wound up with Shinra, but Mildred doesn't know the name of the project into which he was conscripted, only that it was "top secret."

Combined with the apparent age of both characters in-game, this indicates that Broden took part in the project before SOLDIER was even SOLDIER, putting him as one of its earliest successful operatives, probably enhanced sometime between 1983 and 1985 based on the timeline provided in the First SOLDIER Battle Royale opening cutscene—hence why his number is the lowest shown on a person in a black robe in the entire game. This puts him in his forties at the youngest during the Crisis, and he functions just fine (albeit with some other issues we can assume were caused by the enhancement procedure being imperfect at the time of his enlistment) until Reunion starts to call him toward the end of 0007.

[bitter-me]

hi can i request wxs with a reader who bakes a lot, and often surprises them with fresh pastries? if you dont wanna write all of them just rui or emu is fine! 😊

It Only Takes a Taste

Wonderland X Showtime | M. Reader

----------

"You remind me of a girl I once knew.."

----------

Tsukasa Tenma

Will praise your baking skills like there's no tomorrow.

You once make star-shaped sugar cookies for him and he cherishes that thing like it's a real star.

100% brags about having someone who has amazing baking skils

If he sees you baking in the kitchen, he'll help you and you don't have the right to say no. I mean just look at him! Don't you see how he shines brighter than the freaking sun at the thought of baking with you?

The face he makes every time he takes the first bite is always priceless. His eyes practically sparkle.

Also suggested that you should open a bakery, claiming that, "with your skills you'll definitely become a famous baker in no time!"

Rui Kamishiro

Will tease you for giving him a surprise pastry.

Definitely eats them as a snack as he builds his inventions and draws his blueprints.

Either that or midnight snack. Let's be honest, he probably only gets 3 hours of sleep at best with how many inventions he makes. Not to mention those ideas of his.

If he ever catches you baking, it can and will turn into a flour fight. Honestly it'll probably be a war that ends with the kitchen being all messy.

Jokingly say "My compliments to the baker." although he truly meant it.

Nene Kusanagi

Will act all shy because she never has anyone give her anything and a surprise at that?

Definitely eats them as a snack while she plays her video games.

If she sees you baking in the kitchen, she'll try her best to help you. Cooking Mama style. Do the Mama accent and you either get a laugh or a jab in the gut.

She either groans or giggles as you make a Minecraft reference while making a cake/cookies.

She probably suggested you make foods from different games/shows. For example, cookie cat from Steven Universe, butterscotch cinnamon pie from Undertale, the cake from Portal, etc etc.

One day you surprised her by making bacon pancakes from Adventure Time for breakfast and her face lit up.

Emu Otori

Congratulations, you've officially become her favorite person.

Will ask you directly if you have any pastries with you. Who can blame her? It's delicious! And if she could she'll eat it all day everyday!

If she sees you baking in the kitchen, she'll be super excited at the thought of helping you. Imagine a child who wanted to help their parents cook/bake with stars in their eyes, yeah, that's her.

Will also suggest you to open a bakery.

Gives you a small kiosk in Phoenix Wonderfully because she thinks that everyone should try your pastries and it would definitely, absolutely, 100%, guarantee, make everyone smile with just a single bite with how delicious it is.

----------

Another day, another show, another successful day for the troupe.

"You guys did wonderful today, a total of 246 tickets were sold." [Name] stated, looking through the clipboard in his hand.

He's been friends with Tsukasa since childhood who have found joy in the world of theater although not being talented in either singing or dancing, [Name] has become their manager. He's quite grateful for such an opportunity. After all, what's a troupe without a manager?

His carrying nature made him the perfect manager for the troupe and they can't ask for a better manager.

"246 tickets!? That's a lot!" Emu cheered, it's only been a few months since they all started their path towards their dreams and to think they've already made such a progress. "Of course! It's only expected that people wanted to see our show! To see a star!" Tsukasa claims as he smiles proudly at their achievement.

Nene merely smiles as she watches the group being happy at their rising to stardom. "So manager, what's on our schedule for today?" Rui asked curiously.

"Why don't we have a break? It's been a long day."

.

.

.

As the group have a small break, [Name] left to grab something before long he returns with....

"Cookies! You're the best [Name]!" Emu cheered, her eyes sparkles the moment her eyes locked on the small container in their manger's hands. "When did you have the time to do this?" Nene asked.

[Name] puts the container on the table, smiling softly as he watch the group enjoy the cookies he made. He had always enjoy baking and surprising them with fresh pastries had easily became a hobby of his. "I managed." He replied, taking a seat next to Nene.

"Hmm~ You should open a bakery! These are delicious!" Tsukasa compliments as he took another bite of the cookie. "Fufu~ as expected of our manager~" Rui chuckles, eating the pastry with a cheshire grin.

"Honestly, you don't have to.." Nene says, nibbling on the cookie. "But I wanted to~ plus seeing your guys faces every time I gave pastries are always a joy to see~"

Their manager's baking skills had never failed to surprise them. They look absolutely adorable and they're really delicious! The first time he does this, they thought it would just be a one time thing but as time passes. [Name] continues to give them copious amounts of pastries.

They're forever grateful for their manager, not only for the pastries, but for his whole support.

It won't be long until their little theater troupe would make it big and they have their manager to thank them. Who knows? Maybe [Name] might actually start a bakery with Wonderland X Showtime promoting it? Killing two birds with one stone, no?

shinonome akito

when he walks into your room for the first time he literally just stands there in the doorway like 😦

he’s so flustered seeing all the posters and plushies of himself situated around the room 

he can’t stop smiling when you enthusiastically take him by the arm to give an impromptu room tour

like he tries to act all calm and indifferent but inside he’s just whwhsnjhdwkh

​​he reluctantly admits the plushies are cute, but when you offer him one, he awkwardly refuses

and then you go to put it back and he’s like “hey, wait, I was joking!” and wrestles it from your grip

♪ "You really went all out, huh?" he frowns, but there's a playful glint in his eyes. Deep down, he's touched that you've dedicated your room to him. 

He tries to keep up the act, shooting you a sidelong glance with a half-smile, but it's evident that he's struggling to keep his composure. His cheeks tint with a subtle shade of pink, and he's fighting to suppress the grin threatening to break free. It's a strange mix of embarrassment and flattery, seeing how much you appreciate him. 

“Come on, Aki, you know you love this!” you say.

Finally, he sighs, the corners of his lips betraying a genuine smile. 

"Alright, alright, you win. But only because it's you," he admits, his eyes softening. "I never thought my face would end up plastered all over someone's room. You really know how to catch a guy off guard."

You grin.

"But," he continues, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "I know a thing or two about catching someone off guard too." 

Before you can respond, he closes the gap between you, his lips meeting yours in a playful yet sweet kiss. As he pulls away, there's a teasing smile on his face.

 "Consider us even now.”

kamishiro rui

OML THIS MAN WILL NOT STOP TEASING YOU ABOUT IT

the moment he sees all of your merch of him he becomes cocky af

he would definitely make you more stuff to add to your room

he’ll try to redecorate your room a bit for you, putting up posters and hanging lights (under your guidance ofc)

secretly steals some of the plushies when he leaves because they’re cute 

 forces brings tsukasa over to your room just so he can see the huge collection of items

♪ “Oh? Looks like someone can’t get enough of me…” Rui giggles, placing a kiss on your forehead as his arm snakes around your waist. 

“Do you like it?” you ask excitedly.

“Why wouldn’t I? They’re all me, after all.”

You cross your arms at his arrogance, but can't help the smile that tugs at your lips. Rui had always been confident, but since stepping foot into your room, it seems to have grown tenfold.

He pulls you closer, his hand resting on the small of your back. "But you know what would make your collection even better?" he asks, a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Ooh, what?" you ask, intrigued.

"More of me," he says with a smirk, his gaze traveling to your bed filled with plushies. "Maybe a body pillow?"

“Rui!”

“Hm? I’m sure you would enjoy it.”

tenma tsukasa

tsukasa.exe has stopped working

after what seems like eternity of silence he just goes AHSAHSJAKAK (the typical tsukasa scream yk)

IMMEDIATELY gives you a big hug; he matches your energy so well

 if there's a poster with him in it, then he'll love standing in front of it and striking poses for your amusement

sits on your bed and pretends to be one of the plushies just to hear your cute laugh 

♪

“My eyes have been blessed by the sight of this glorious shrine! I am unworthy of such devotion, and yet, here it is!" Tsukasa dramatically threw himself onto the plushie-covered bed, hand over his heart.

"Tsukasa, you're being a bit—"

"Shh! This is my moment of gratitude!" He interrupted, eyes sparkling with mock sincerity.

"Okay, I'm listening," you said with an amused smile.

He clasped his hands together, looking up at the ceiling as if addressing the merchandise gods. "Thank you, [name], for bestowing upon me this sanctuary of Tsukasa. I shall carry the weight of this honor with the grace of a thousand swans and the dignity of a soaring eagle. May the Tsukasa vibes forever resonate in this hallowed space!"

You burst into a fit of giggles, unable to contain it any longer. Tsukasa, satisfied with his grand thank-you speech, looked at you while beaming.

As the laughter subsided, Tsukasa gently cupped your face, his fingers tender against your skin. He leaned in, closing the gap between you with a soft, lingering kiss. 

“Thank you so much, [name]!”

aoyagi toya

he takes in the room for a few moments before breathing out a soft “wow”

it srsly means SO much to him when his s/o is his biggest fan

he reaches out to touch some of the items, almost as if to confirm that it's real.

♪

Eventually finding his words, Toya turns to you with a soft expression and says, "Thank you. This... means a lot to me."

You smile cheerfully.

“You deserve it, Toya! You don’t give yourself enough credit.”

"You didn't have to go through all this trouble for me," he says softly.

You shake your head and pull him into a hug. Toya hesitates for a moment before returning the hug, a genuine warmth in his embrace. 

"You're worth every bit of trouble," you assure him, the sincerity in your voice echoing your unwavering support. "Seeing you happy and appreciating this makes it all worthwhile.

As you hold each other, he speaks, his voice muffled against your shoulder, "I just... never expected someone to believe in me this much. It's a bit overwhelming, you know? But in a good way. …I love you."

[ssruis]

One thing I like abt the rks dynamic is that Tsukasa is able to pretty consistently catch rui off guard… Rui is A Planner and part of planning things is being able to (at the very least) make an educated guess about how people will react to things. & I feel like he’s just kinda carried that over to how he views relationships (in that he’s very observant & knows what his friends are probably going to do). Side effects of developing a habit of people watching. Also he’s just a super intelligent genius I think he tries to think of all the possible outcomes of his actions (barring emotional ones. because he is stupid).

Tsukasa is definitely not an entirely unpredictable person but he does have his moments where he

1) says stuff that Rui clearly did not expect or realize (ie the card story from his twilight festival card where Tsukasa outright says that they’re worried about his health as a friend, not as a director + in pandemonium where Tsukasa says the trip is like a one off show and later points out that Rui should take more credit for his own growth)

2) or does stuff that Rui didn’t predict (ie insisting on doing torpe the pianist because it’d be difficult in dazzling lights + joining the disciplinary committee in his year up 2*)

Which I think is largely owed to Tsukasa being the opposite of Rui in a lot of ways, despite all they have in common. Very emotion driven vs logic driven (…ostensibly. Lmao)/open vs closed off/impulsive vs careful/following your heart vs following your brain*/“ok everything’s good now so I’m fine” vs tending to dwell on what could have happened**/present focused vs future focused.

Tsukasa is able to point out things that rui never would have realized and propose options that Rui never would have considered because he’s on the opposite end of things viewpoint wise. Also neat that this is kind of a continuing theme from the main story (tsk agreeing to Rui’s stunt ideas, literally chasing him down after Rui refused to rejoin wxs and making him watch a whole show Tsukasa put on to convey his true feelings).

*specifically in curtain call. Rui’s been a lot more emotion driven wrt wxs since then, but he does put a lot of thought into his choices before making them, whereas Tsukasa kinda just goes “this feels right so that’s what I’m doing.”

**referring more to ohe with Tsukasa recovering quickly & Rui thinking about wxs nearly disbanding pretty frequently, but Rui does dwell on his past a lot. “It was in the past so I’m over it” me when I lie. there are so many instances in this game of him thinking about his childhood or it being relevant to why he’s having an issue. Meanwhile Tsukasa is like “splendid! Confronting my past loneliness helped me get into character for thorpe! Ok I’m done thinking about it now”

[lovely-showtimes]

Hey could I req Emu, Rui, Tsukasa and Ena with a reader who has a pet raccoon which tends to be a little hyperactive and chaotic? Thank you! (Love your work by the way it's so Awesome)

♡ . pet raccoon.

characters - tsukasa, emu, rui, ena.

type - hcs.

a/n - thank you, nonnie!! <3 i've actually been looking for an excuse to write smth for ena, so i appreciate the request ^^ i hope you enjoy ~

Tsukasa is pretty wary of your pet

He appreciates it when you say it wouldn't harm a hair on his body, but... it's still a little disconcerting

Especially with how it zips and jumps all over the place! He's never seen such an excitable creature before

The amount of times he's eyed it from afar, glanced away, and then it's suddenly right beside him and caused him to jump are countless

"AARGH! H-How on earth did you get over here so fast?!" "Aww, Tsukasa! Look at how they're nuzzling you, they like you~" "I-Is that so..."

Emu, on the other hand, ADORES your pet!

Its soft little tail... its cute, small paws... its round, shiny eyes... it's just too adorable!!

The fact that she shares a similar nature with your raccoon means they easily bond and become a terrifying duo of mass chaos

(By which I mean, the two of them are determined to show you as much affection in the silliest ways possible)

Whenever Emu visits your home, she always makes sure to say hello to your raccoon too

"...And hello to you, Mr. Raccoon! Hehe, you're in such a good mood today~"

Sometimes you wonder if she's just here to play with your raccoon instead of seeing you...

Rui is extremely fascinated by your raccoon

How on earth could one little creature be so full of energy and excitement? He would love to study it. You will not let him

Your raccoon warms up to him immediately however, it's very cuddly towards him

In fact, Rui's the only person that can calm it down, other than you, of course

One of the most adorable sights you've ever come across is when you had briefly left your room to do something, only to come back to a very gleeful Rui and your pet snoozing in his lap

He also loves occasionally dropping random raccoon facts on you whenever it comes up to him

"Oh, hello there, little one. Say, did you know that a group of raccoons is called a nursery?"

Like Tsukasa, she's also wary at first

It wasn't uncommon to see her flinch away from your raccoon when it dashes around a bit too close to her, or for her to hide behind you

(She then immediately denies being scared of it out of embarrassment)

But she warms up to it eventually! Soon, her and the raccoon actually become pretty close, and she's not so jumpy around it anymore

Sometimes, though, it still catches her off-guard...

"AAH! ...Oh, it's just you, aha. Hello there..."

[istharoth]

Lost in a Dream [Rui? Rui. RUI ANGST]

Inspired by the song: Lost in California - Doyoung.

In which Rui finds himself in a dream, only the dream is a constant repeat of his life before Darkwick.

WC: 600

It's not often Rui can fall asleep. Nights in Obscuary are spent cleaning around the dorm or prepping for tomorrow's business at his bar. He has excess energy, much of which needs to be depleted but a human cannot go by without sleep.

He may have the curse of the Grim Reaper, he is a ghoul, an anomaly but he still feels like a human. Obscuary, the house of non-humans, a vampire exists and the newest addition is a werewolf.

He's a human.

Rui Mizuki is a human.

He stops in his tracks, eyes darting between his room and the room the Inspector had stayed at. He turns the doorknob, dragging his heavy feet towards the bed. He still has to clean up, he needs to get gloves from his room, he needs to prepare for tomorrow, he cannot sleep, he shouldn't sleep.

A ten-minute nap wouldn't hurt.

He closes his eyes, promising himself to wake up before he dreams. The dreams he witnesses are never his, only of the ones he's killed. He doesn't quite know how he'd go about seeing his dream.

He sees the sunset in the sky, and the red beach in the evening sky. He sees his younger self, just himself three years ago, before Darkwick. Before he was a ghoul, before he was cursed.

Back when he was only human.

He hears his cheery laugh, he sees himself hit his friends jokingly. He cannot do so anymore.

The hands of a skeleton wrap around his neck, not enough to choke him yet. More skeletons grab his limbs, others hugging him, unwilling to let go, some turning to dust as they touch him.

All of them he's killed with his curse. But his eyes don't leave his younger self.

The scene changes and he finds himself under the shade of palm trees in the bright sunny morning. He recognizes the place but he wishes he didn't.

Surfing is fun, he loves it. There's not a single thing more he loves than surfing. He hasn't gone in the past three years, since Darkwick. He misses the feeling of cool water under the hot sun, he wants to feel the rush of excitement of overtaking an aggressive wave.

He wants to fall off the surfboard again, fully trusting his friends will be there to catch him. They would rescue him, without putting their life on the line. He doesn't like this dream.

He can only watch his younger self, knowing the future that will come. The future that will crush his dreams and hopes. The future of never having a moment alone, the constant fear of being watched.

His desires will endlessly devour him. Before the demon could consume him. Before his curse would end him.

He thinks an hour would've passed. The dream repeats itself, it's unchanging. His ideal life would be this but he cannot endlessly dream.

He has to wake up. He has to leave. The red beach and evening sun are replaced by the chilly night and the half moon. He'll leave with his memories, the only things he can look back on here.

The skeleton wraps his hands around Rui's neck, choking him, but he doesn't feel anything. Only the dust of the skeleton blows into the wind. Even in a dream, his curse doesn't disappear.

A nap shouldn't have hurt.

Time. He doesn't have any. In the next year, as he leaves Darkwick, he knows he'll be killed. They've done enough research on him when he was locked in Ultio's prison. Enough for him to forget.

He's lost on this anomalous island, a place he's falling behind. A place where he doesn't know where he is.

"I want to be a human," He utters. The ceiling was blurry, the light from the chandelier hurt his eyes, and the silky sheets felt uncomfortable against his ungloved hands.

The light has lost its glow, he's going to soon fade out at the hands of no one but himself.
