Princess Pino’s Birthday

My fic for the Edens Zero Big Bang, to go with @i-write-fanfics-to-procrastinate ‘s lovely artwork. Have some Weicca, with a side of Weisz-Pino Brotp.

~~~

“Oh, but you have to come to my birthday party, Mr. Weisz! Say you will, pleeeeeease?”

Weisz chuckled at the memory as he finished buttoning up his shirt.

‘A personal invitation when there’s already an open invitation to the public,’ he thought. ‘I’ll never understand that kid.’

He’d been in the middle of designing a new piece of tech with Hermit when the Princess of Granbell Kingdom burst through the door.

“Mr. Weisz, Miss Hermit! You know what next week is, don’t you?” she spun around the lab as she shouted, skillfully hopping around the machine parts and workshop debris like a bunny.

Hermit turned away from the blueprints in front of her, smiling wide. “I sure do!”

“No? What’s next week?” he raised an eyebrow in false confusion.

“It’s my birthday! I’m turning eleven, remember?”

“Eleven already? Geez, you’re ancient!”

Pino pouted briefly, before her excitement took over. “I’m gonna have a biiig party!” She spun on her toes with her arms out. “Everyone will be there, it’ll be so fun!”

“Really? Everyone, huh?” Weisz asked.

“Yeah. And that means you and Miss Hermit, too. You’ll be there, right?” she asked, clasping her hands together.

Hermit smiled. “Of course.”

Weisz feigned reluctance. “I don’t know. We’ve got a lot of work to do here.”

“Oh, but you have to come to my birthday party, Mr. Weisz! Say you will, pleeeeeease?” she begged, tugging on his arm.

Weisz looked at the giggling princess and couldn’t pretend anymore. “Yeah, sure thing, kid.”

“Yay!”

Weisz straightened his collar as he thought about having to socialize for hours on end.

‘Eh, I’ll find a way to ditch and go back to work.’

Just as he began to regret accepting Pino’s invitation- he was never not going to make an appearance at the party, but he should’ve at least been smart and not given her any expectations- his thoughts turned to a certain Nobleman’s blonde daughter.

’At least she’ll be there.’

Weisz watched in the mirror as his face rapidly turned pink. Then he shook his head, clearing that thought from his mind as he walked out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~

Happy meowed indignantly.

“Too bad, cat! You need to get off Pino’s present so I can finish wrapping it.”

The blue feline grumbled at being moved from his chosen spot. Not one to be inconvenienced, he took his revenge by walking across Rebecca’s hands as she tried to wrap the handmade bow, nearly tearing the paper in the process.

“Get. Off,” she said firmly, tossing him to the floor. He grumbled and sulked out of her bedroom and towards the sun room in defeat.

Rebecca finished wrapping and tied a ribbon around it. Sighing, she walked over to her mirror and fidgeted with her bangs.

‘I wonder how long it’ll be before Weisz tries to ditch the party,’ she thought, chuckling to herself.

Looking at her reflection, Rebecca realized that, in messing with her bangs, she only succeeded in pushing them too far to the side. She combed through them with her fingers, reshaping them over and over again, to disappointing results.

Rebecca groaned and shook her head, resetting her bangs. Opening her eyes, though, she found that they’d fallen more towards the center instead of pushed to the side, and her curly hair was half-draped over one shoulder.

She took her hand away and stepped back to look at her full reflection. The pin in her ash blonde hair matched her dark blue halter top and detached sleeves, and with her new bang style, black jeans, and boots, she liked the ensemble even more.

‘I wonder what he would think.’

The thought had her turning her head away from the mirror and her cheeks blushing bright red. Her hand moved to fidget with her bangs again, but she forced herself to stop in time to avoid ruining them.

Before she could let her nerves ruin something else about her outfit, Rebecca grabbed Pino’s present and left for the castle.

~~~~~~~~~~

Homura stood in the hallway outside the royal bed chambers, her back and shoulders perfectly straight, waiting for the Prince and Princess to leave their rooms for the party. Her red and orange shirt was in pristine condition, no wrinkles or creases to be found.

The bedroom door to her right opened and Prince Shiki stepped out, adjusting his wrist cuffs.

“Allow me, your Highness,” Homura said as he stopped next to her.

Wordlessly, Shiki offered her his wrist. As she fixed his cuff, she stared at the shape of it, the Crest of Granbell Kingdom: a heart with a dot in the middle, resting soundly in the crevice of two horns. It clicked into place and she stepped back.

“Thanks, Homura!” Shiki said with a bright smile. “You ready for the party?”

“I am prepared.” She nodded, clasping her hands together in front of her.

“‘Prepared’ makes it sound like a mission, not a party,” he chuckled.

She nodded again. “Duly noted.”

“I like your shirt.”

Homura stiffened. “Thank you,” she said, semi-monotone.

“I really like the ocean waves at the bottom.”

A blush rose on Homura’s cheeks, getting brighter the longer Shiki focused on her outfit. She brought her hand up over her mouth out of habit.

The sound of a door down the hall opening interrupted Homura’s embarrassment. It was Princess Pino’s bedroom door, and she came bounding down the hall at Shiki.

“Hi big brother!” she yelled, tackling him.

Shiki caught her easily. “Hey Pino! Happy birthday!”

“Happy birthday, your Highness.”

“Thanks!”

“Princess,” a smooth voice spoke from down the hall. “You need to get dressed for your party.”

It was Witch, the “Shield” of Granbell Kingdom and the Princess’s personal guard. Her long, green hair was tied back in a loose french braid that swung lightly behind her as she walked.

“Okay, Miss Witch!” Pino said, releasing her brother from her iron grip.

“Hello, Prince Shiki, Lady Homura.”

“Hey, Witch,” Shiki said with a small wave.

“Good Morning.” Homura nodded.

“Come, now, Princess,” she said softly, her hand placed gently on top of Pino’s head.

Pino nodded and spun around, waving to her brother. “I’ll see you at the party!”

He smiled. “Sure will, kiddo.”

“Yay!” she clapped her hands together, smiling brightly as she ran back down the hall.

Shiki looked back at Homura and met her eyes.

“Let’s go.”

~~~~~~~~~~

As Pino ate her curry burger breakfast that morning, she couldn’t sit still; kicking her legs and bouncing in her seat, it was enough to catch her grandfather’s attention.

“Excited?” King Ziggy asked.

“Mhm! I can’t wait!”

Ziggy smiled as she took the last few bites of her food, jumping out of her chair and running to the door. Witch, who had been standing diligently in the corner, followed her to her room.

“Alright, Princess. It’s time to get ready. Your guests will be arriving soon,” she said, gently closing the door behind her.

“Are you excited, Miss Witch? Everyone’s gonna be here!” Pino jumped backwards onto her bed.

“Inviting the entire Capital City to the castle for a birthday party is sure to have interesting results. I look forward to it.”

She sat up. “I thought it would be cool for everyone to see it! And it’s more fun with more people, anyway. It’s such a big place, but there’s never anyone here.”

Witch smiled. “Your kindness and consideration for others is admirable, Princess.”

“Thank you!”

Her head snapped to the side at the sound of voices in the hall, looking at the door before leaping off her bed and running out the door. Witch sighed in amusement and followed after the rambunctious birthday girl.

“Hi, big brother!” Pino yelled, launching herself at Shiki.

He caught her easily as he and Homura gave their ‘Happy Birthdays.’ Witch smiled at the scene. She’d always appreciated the bond the two siblings shared.

“Thanks!” Pino said.

She hated to ruin the moment, but time was of the essence. “Princess,” she spoke as she walked down the hall towards them. “You need to get dressed for your party.”

“Okay, Miss Witch!” Pino said, letting Shiki go.

“Hello, Prince Shiki, Lady Homura.”

“Hey Witch.”

“Good morning.”

“Come now, Princess,” she said calmly, resting her hand on top of her head.

She spun around and waved to her brother. “I’ll see you at the party!”

Shiki smiled. “Sure will, kiddo.”

“Yay!” she clapped her hands together, smiling brightly as she ran back down the hall.

“Princess, you need to focus,” Witch lightly admonished her as she followed the bouncing girl into her room.

“I’m excited!”

“I know,” Witch hummed in amusement. “But it’s almost time for you to be ready for your guests.”

Pino skipped to her wardrobe. Witch stood behind her as she flung the doors open, trailing back and forth in front of it, examining her options.

She chuckled at the ecstatic princess marching in front of her wardrobe, looking at each article of clothing with a critical eye, like a general to their soldiers. An illusion only enhanced by the contrast of her spinning on her toes to turn around when she got to either end of the closet.

“I got it!” Pino said, grabbing a white and blue dress shirt and matching skirt, black leggings, short brown boots and a yellow necktie with a heart on it.

“An excellent choice, Princess,” Witch said.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Okay! We’re all gonna play hide and seek!” Pino said to the silent crowd below her. “You’ll all hide in the castle and the courtyard, and I’ll find you!”

The people exchanged tiny whispers and confused glances, the slightest murmurs of which drifted up to the balcony.

“Participation is mandatory,” King Ziggy’s deep voice silenced the crowd’s whispering, paired with a serious look in his eye, before looking back at his granddaughter and returning her bright smile.

“Okay, everyone, go hide! And good luck!”

Rebecca reached forward and grabbed Weisz’s wrist as he started moving.

“You’re coming with me,” Rebecca stated. “What? Why?”

“Because I’m not gonna let you sit somewhere you can easily be found just so you can say you participated. You’re going to actually participate. Play like you wanna win.” She dragged him towards the hall.

“Rebecca!”

She ignored him.

“Rebecca, wait!”

No answer.

“Seriously?”

Still nothing.

Weisz groaned. “Fine.”

Only then did Rebecca turn around and acknowledge him with a satisfied smile.

“Good. Now come on, I know a good place to hide.”

~~~~~~~~~~

“Shiki and I found this place years ago. I don’t know what it was supposed to be, but it never gets used anymore.”

Weisz helped her move the tapestry, behind which was panelling nearly indistinguishable from the wall it sat in. Rebecca pushed on it, then slid it to the side.

Behind the panelling was a dark tunnel that stretched beyond where the light reached.

“I’m coming to find you!” Pino’s gleeful voice sang from the PA speakers.

“Come on, let’s go,” Rebecca said, stepping into the tunnel.

Weisz rolled his eyes and followed her.

It was a tighter fit than he had expected; the tunnel was narrow, only a few feet wide, and Weisz was almost too tall to fit inside, with only an inch or two of clearance above his head.

“Great hiding place you picked here, Rebecca.”

“Yeah, I remembered it being bigger,” she said as she settled her back against the wall. Weisz leaned against the opposite wall.

“Now what?” he asked, turning to face her. He froze when he realized there was only about a foot of space between them, maybe less. With nowhere to go to widen the gap, he was glad it was pitch black in the tunnel so Rebecca couldn’t see the bright red blush he was certain was spreading across his entire face.

“Well there’s nothing to do but wait for Pino to find us or the game to be over.”

“Yeah, which is exactly why I wanted to get found quickly and then go back to my workshop.”

“Boo hoo. It’s not so bad. It’s not like we have to sit in silence or anything,” she said.

“Won’t voices coming from inside the wall be a dead giveaway?”

“Oh? I thought you wanted to be found quickly.”

He couldn’t see Rebecca, but the tone of her voice told Weisz she was raising a smug eyebrow at him.

“Shut up. You’re the one who wants to take this seriously,” he said, turning his head away from her.

Rebecca chuckled. He turned his head back, staring at the place he assumed her face was, conjuring her image in his mind.

“So, what’s it like working with Hermit?” she asked.

“It’s fine. She gets on my nerves a lot, but I think it helps in the long run that we piss each other off. Spite is one hell of a motivator and source of inspiration.”

Rebecca chuckled again. Weisz’s heart skipped a beat.

“Yeah, you’ve always been like that.”

“Like what?”

“Not a people person.”

“What’s so great about people?” he asked sarcastically.

“There’s a lot to like when you’re not being shy.”

“Wha- I’m not shy, I’ve never been.”

Rebecca snorted. “Okay.”

“I’m not!”

“Even when we were little, you would rather play with machines than kids your own age.”

“Well machines tend to be more interesting and less talkative than people.”

“That’s a sad life, Weisz.”

“Shut up.”

Rebecca laughed again, louder than before, and Weisz thought that he might just be able to listen to that sound forever and never get tired of hearing it.

“Hey,” she said when she calmed down.

“Hm?”

“Do you remember when we first met?”

“Of course I do. You wouldn’t leave me alone until I played that stupid game with you, Shiki, and Homura.”

“Oh, bull! You wanted to play, you’re just a shy boy who couldn’t admit it.”

“I was not.”

“Whatever, tsundere.”

“What the fuck does that even mean?”

Rebecca burst out laughing again. “It means you’re shy as hell.”

Weisz groaned and rolled his eyes.

“Toasted marshmallow boy.”

“I hate you,” he chuckled.

“And the way you acted around Homura is the textbook definition of a tsundere with a crush.”

“I never had a crush on Homura.”

“M’kay,” she said, her tone very clear about how little she believed him.

He shook his head and rolled his eyes again.

“I didn’t, but whatever.”

“You’re kinda cute when you’re in denial, y’know.”

The air in Weisz’s lungs evaporated and he struggled to breathe, nearly choking on his sudden lack of oxygen.

“You okay?” Rebecca asked. Weisz imagined her raising her eyebrow.

He cleared his throat. “Y-yeah.”

The calm in the air was replaced with a silence nearly as thick as the darkness they sat in.

‘Cute? She didn’t mean it like that, though.’

It was Rebecca’s turn to clear her throat. “So, um… yeah..”

On the other side of the wall, distant footsteps were walking down the corridor towards their hiding spot. Though the tunnel was still pitch black and silent, Weisz could feel Rebecca’s tension; He was surprised to find he was a little tense, too.

“There’s no way she’ll find us,” Rebecca whispered confidently.

“If that’s even her.”

They waited with bated breath, listening to the footsteps grow louder as they moved down the hall towards their hiding spot.

They stopped breathing entirely when the footsteps did, just on the other side of the wall. The lack of noise in the hall only made their breathing and racing hearts seem louder.

Weisz glanced in Rebecca’s direction; though they couldn’t see each other, he knew that she was looking at him, too. His racing heart surprised him, and he didn’t know if that was because of the possibility of being found, or because Rebecca called him cute.

It could’ve been either, and he decided not to look too deeply at the implications of the latter.

Eventually, the footsteps on the other side of the wall moved on, going further down the hall and away from their hiding spot.

Weisz and Rebecca let out a collective sigh of relief when they couldn’t hear the footsteps anymore.

Rebecca chuckled quietly. “You’re so into this.”

“Shut up.”

The sudden light was blinding.

“I found you!” Pino’s voice sang from the entrance.

“What? How? We heard you walk down the hall!”

Rebecca’s indignance at losing a children’s game was only irritating to Weisz because he was indignant, too.

“Oh, that was Witch. I knew this tunnel was here, Shiki showed me forever ago. So I decided to trick you!” Pino explained, as bright as ever.

“An excellent idea,” Witch said proudly as she walked back towards the tunnel. “Truly worthy of a Princess.” She patted Pino on the head.

Rebecca groaned and Weisz made his way out of the cramped and dark tunnel, stretching as he did. He wasn’t sad to put it back behind the tapestry where it belonged.

“Damn,” Rebecca sighed as she stepped into the hall. “I was hoping we were gonna stay hidden for a little while longer.”

‘She just wanted to win the game,’ he reminded himself

“You wanted to stay hiding in that tunnel with Weisz?” Pino asked.

Her question was innocent enough, but there was something about it that Weisz didn’t like; the tiniest glint in her eye, the smallest twitch of the corner of her mouth.

‘She’s always been too clever for her own good.’

“I-I wanted us to be the last ones found! Or at least as close to it as possible. I really thought we were gonna get more mileage out of that hiding place,” she said, dejectedly crossing her arms over her chest.

“Well everyone I found so far is going back to the ballroom. Grandpa said the food would be set out, so you can eat now.”

“And suddenly I don’t mind losing so much.”

Weisz chuckled at Rebecca’s obsession with all things edible. “You do that, I’m gonna go back to my workshop.”

“You don’t wanna stay?” Pino asked, her eyes widening. “You’re not hungry or anything?”

“Look, kid, I told you, Hermit and I have a lot of work to do. I’ll make another appearance later, okay?”

Pino’s expression completely redefined the phrase ‘turn that frown upside-down.’

“Okay! But you have to promise.”

Weisz chuckled and rolled his eyes. “I promise.”

~~~~~~~~~~

A few hours later, Weisz made his promised reappearance in the ballroom. The crowd seemed a bit thinner, though not by much.

He scanned the room, looking for Pino, and found her playing with city kids her own age near the kitchen doors. Moving towards her, he stole a mini biscuit off the table to pop in his mouth.

It was at that moment when Pino looked up and saw him, running over to him as best she could through the thick crowd.

“You came back!”

“I told you I would. Didn’t you believe me?”

“Of course I did! But I’m still happy you’re here,” she said, with a bright smile to match.

Weisz patted her head. “Well, I guess I can stay for a while,” he said, feigning reluctance. “You go back to your friends over there, they’re probably more fun to hang out with than me.”

“That’s not true at all! Oh, but I should, we were talking.”

“Go on, kid. You can hang out with me whenever you want.”

“You mean it?! I can come hang out with you and Miss Hermit in your workshop, too?”

‘Opportunistic little shit.’

“Eh heh… Only if you be careful around the equipment. And only if we’re not too busy.”

He had a strong feeling that, even with these vague guidelines, he’d just bitten off way more than he could chew.

“Yay! Okay, I’ll see you later, Mr. Weisz.” With a final wave, she made her way back through the crowd to the city kids.

Weisz shook his head. In doing so, he caught sight of Rebecca, chatting in the corner with Homura and Shiki. Even at this distance, her smile made his heart skip a beat. Immediately following this heart anomaly, it became way too hot for comfort in the ballroom.

It wasn’t until he stepped out on the balcony that he could breathe and relax. The cool dusk air was soothing, and the view of the sun setting over the city, casting it in a golden glow, was not one to be missed.

‘What’s wrong with me?’ he thought. ‘Why am I so focused on Rebecca? Do I… Do I really-’

“Hey, Weisz,” Rebecca’s voice spoke from behind him, interrupting his train of thought.

He jumped slightly, his shoulders hunching up. He forced them back down in an attempt to look normal and unaffected. “Hey.”

She moved to stand beside him, tapping her fingers lightly on the railing as she did. Her back was ramrod straight, much more rigid than normal.

‘Why do I know that?’

The implications were adding up, and Weisz wasn’t sure if he was prepared for the final solution.

When she spoke, her voice was quiet “I, um…” she cleared her throat. “I… had fun.. t-today, um…”

Her eyes were closed tightly, her tension palpable in the air that occupied the space between them. It was somehow both too much space and too little.

“Uh, yeah, me too. Surprisingly.”

She hummed in amusement. Another tense, awkward silence followed. No matter how hard he tried, Weisz’s shoulders wouldn’t stay down and his muscles refused to relax.

Rebecca took a deep breath, leaned her head back, and groaned at the sky before bending over and laying her forehead on the balcony railing.

“Why is this so hard?” she muttered, just barely loud enough for Weisz to hear.

The question wasn’t directed at him, but he responded anyway. “What is?”

She stood up. “I-” she sighed, scratching the back of her head. “I just- I… likeyou.”

She spoke quickly, and her voice was barely above a whisper, but her words had Weisz’s shoulders hunched all the way up to the moon that was just starting to appear in the sky all the same.

“What?”

Rebecca turned her face away from him and gripped the rail in front of her tightly. “I… oh, come on, don’t make me embarrass myself again.”

Weisz couldn’t form a coherent thought or sentence even if he wanted to. Somehow, his brain was working in overdrive and also stalled at the same time. He could just imagine the smoke coming out of his ears.

“I- ... um…”

“Just say ‘thanks, but no thanks’ so we can move on already, okay? We don’t ever have to bring it up ag-”

“I.. think I like you, too.”

Rebecca’s eyes widened and a bright red blush spread across her face; Weisz knew he had a matching expression.

“Think, or… or know?” her voice gave away her vulnerability.

“I… think I know.”

Rebecca chuckled once. Then again. Soon enough, she was laughing even louder and more brightly than she had been in the tunnel, which dragged a small chuckle out of Weisz.

“Sorry, I don’t know what was so funny about that,” she said when her laughter subsided.

“Neither do I, but at least it’s not as awkward anymore.”

She smiled, then tugged at her lips slightly with her teeth. “Did you mean that?” she asked, her voice back to being small and vulnerable. “About… a-about, y’know..”

“... Yeah. I-... you’ve been on my mind all day, and… now that I think about it, kind of… everyday? I- I mean… like, I…” he sighed, releasing the tension in his body only for it to return almost immediately. “I know what you meant about this being hard, now.”

She hummed in amusement. “Yeah, but… it’s out there, now, right?”

“Y-eah.”

“Hey, Weisz.”

He glanced over to see her looking at him, biting her lip slightly, eyes darting back and forth. “Hm?”

She nodded to herself, took a deep breath, stood on her tiptoes and pressed a light kiss to his cheek.

His eyes widened so much, he thought they might just pop out of his head. His shoulders hunched up to an all new height, and he found himself unable to look at Rebecca out of sheer embarrassment.

“Uh, I… uh..” he mumbled.

Rebecca chuckled. “You’re cute when you’re flustered.”

Weisz just leaned down and hid his face in his arms on the railing. If he added together all of the embarrassment he’d suffered throughout his life, he was certain it wouldn’t even be half as much as what was making his body curl in on itself at that moment.

“Shut up.”

~~~~~~~~~~

Later That Night

“Happy Birthday, Pino!” they shouted as the Birthday Princess blew out the candles on her cake.

The crowd of citizens had cleared out of the castle nearly an hour ago, and of the few close friends that remained, Rebecca was the only one who didn’t either live or work in the castle.

“Thanks!” She said, the same bright smile she’d been sporting all day still shining. “And thanks for letting me invite the city into the castle, Grandpa, I’ve never played a game with so many people before!”

King Ziggy patted her on the head. “Of course, Pino. It was a grand idea.”

“It was pretty fun,” Rebecca said. “Even Weisz had fun, didn’t you?” she added, taking a sip of water.

“Not even a little bit,” he said, a half-smile on his face.

“Not even hiding with Miss Rebecca was fun?” Pino asked. Her words were innocent enough on the surface, but for the second time that day, Weisz felt what the little princess was really saying, and, for the second time, didn’t like it at all.

Rebecca choked on her water and his shoulders hunched up for what must have been the hundredth time that day.

“Not. In. The. Slightest.”

“Awh, that’s too bad,” she said, though he could see the slightest sarcastic curl to the corner of her mouth. “Did you at least have fun in your workshop?”

“Yeah, machines are more fun than people any day.”

“I can still hang out with you and Miss Hermit in the workshop sometimes, right?”

Hermit looked at Weisz with one eyebrow raised and a smirk. She would never mind an interruption from the energetic princess.

“Only if you do what I said earlier. Do you remember?”

“I have to be careful around the machines and only when you’re not busy, right?”

“Yep. Too bad we’re busy all the time.”

“That’s no fair, Mr. Weisz!” Pino pouted.

“Don’t worry, Pino, you can come see us whenever you want,” Hermit said. “Though I don’t know why you’d wanna hang out with Weisz, but you’re always welcome.”

“Yay! Oh, but Mr. Weisz is really cool, and he always talks to me even when he says he’s busy.”

“Aw, you have a fan,” Rebecca teased him quietly.

“Shut up.”

A few notes before start.

This fanfiction was written for the initiative created by EdensZero-BigBang, in partnership with WaterLock, who made the color that inspired the fanfic.

Warning: Some scenes are set in chapter 83 of the Manga, but many events have been changed.

Enjoy the reading❤️

~~~~

Friends and enemies.

The spaceship rushed faster and faster against the other, hitting and hurling it away violently. With that also everything for which he had fought so far was thrown away.

All he had to do was overcome the last obstacle that separated him from his goal, but someone, somewhere -or rather, in front of him- had decided that he could not reach that. At least, not at that moment.

So it was that Shiki saw his last hope vanish, ending up helplessly watching his dear and faithful spaceship crashing... on the floor of his dear and faithful spaceship....

He had lost! Again!

The blonde wasn't just good only at videogames, and he was learning it at his expense - not that he was an ace anyway, in chess as in any other game - that it was not convenient to challenge Rebecca, ever.

Even Hermit had never been able to defeat her, which was all to say.

"I won! Do you know what that means?"

The girl's voice made its way into his ears, awakening him from the contemplative state of defeat, which mostly saw him staring at the gray floor of the Edens' relaxation room, more precisely the portion that housed the scale reproduction of Edens.

Shiki knew what it meant, especially because he had proposed the pledge to be paid in case of defeat.

A month of guaranteed videos for the young B-Cuber, in which obviously he would not have simply been watching. Oh, no really!

He should have completed all the challenges proposed by the fans in the comments.

Over time, the girl's popularity had grown a lot, and the number of followers continued to rise, surpassing the threshold of the million people. Too bad that most of them liked to see people grappling with the most horrible things ever. From spiders to grasshoppers to cockroaches. They were really strange!

Over the years, the young Demon King had learned about various aspects of the human soul, but it still eluded him how people could feel satisfied in seeing such requests fulfilled.

"L-Let's do another o-one! I-I won't l-lose it!"

The dark-haired boy stammered, already trembling at the idea of what he was going to meet.

In his mind, the question of why he proposed that pledge to pay reigned domineeringly, finding one, only, answer: He was really sure of winning.

He also trained with Sister! He never forgot her "teaching methods". Never...

But he was determined to take the win. He would never have allowed anyone with more than four legs to get close to him!

If this was not a valid reason to get tortured by Sister...

The blonde was about to accept, sure to win the next time, when a jolt threw the table on the floor and, consequently, the chessboard, which crashed emitting a loud thud, followed by those, a little more recent but equally violent in the fall, the pawns that the two were busy moving just before.

Edens' alarm went off, causing them to get up from the sofa where they had just "fought" to rush to the control room, where the Stars were already intent on identifying the threat.

Radars finally signaled the huge ship approaching ever more threatening. The Edens' crew -to which, in the meantime, Homura, Weisz, Pino and Moscov had joined in the control room- positioned themselves in the various points, all ready to fight Beliar Gore once again. The King positioned himself on the central position of the room, flanked by Pino, who analyzed the situation, reporting any changes in the enemy's Ethere. Rebecca quickly went to command the ship's right cannon, and Homura to the left. Weisz replaced Witch at the controls of the shields, while she went, accompanied by Moskov, to one of the rooms of the ship, the one where Kleene rested, still in a state of unconsciousness, supervised by her brother. That cursed had not wasted time showing up again, but they would not have allowed him to bring her back on that ship! Shiki in particular had made a promise.

~~~~

His henchmen were about to cut Weisz's arm, with such a deep wound he would have bled to death in a short time, but that sadist wanted to see him suffer more than he was already doing. Shiki could only look helplessly, tied like all his friends, whose eyes were streaked with tears. Was that really the end of the demon king and his companions?

The weapon was about to fall, directed towards the blond's right shoulder, ready to impact, leaving him in a sea of blood and pain, amid the amused laughter of Drakken and his men. But the blade never met the boy's skin...

The arm of what should have been his tormentor was held still by the hand of Jinn, who had silently approached him, stopping him just in time.

The men of Drakken would have surrounded him immediately, if a too strong wind had not pushed them far. He had activated his Ether Gear to repel anyone who wanted to approach him, while the weapon that was supposed to inflict so much pain on Weisz ended up being impressed by the wind in an unknown point of the room.

At the brown-haired man, obviously, didn't like it, and the finger -which he had already placed on the trigger- slipped to fire a shot that would have been lethal to the Demon King, if the bullet had not been sucked of by nothing, or rather, by the Kleene's wind.

Drakken lunged for Rebecca, intent on grabbing her, but she and Weisz disappeared into a whirlwind created by Kleene.

Jinn had approached Shiki, freeing him, and then quickly returned to his sister, who was beginning to accuse the malaise of the battle, while Drakken had designated her as the new target of his fury.

Jinn hurled him away with a violent wind, while Kleene fell into his arms, now unconscious. No matter how hard she tried to show herself, the girl had already felt the exposure to that damned clasp, which was all, except a simple accessory. Damn Drakken!

But he would tear his sister out of his hands now that he had finally found a worthy ally in the Demon King.

The first time they had met, he had the feeling that he had finally found the right person. He hated to admit it, but he could not defeat Drakken, and for the sake of his sister he had had to surrender to the idea of simply standing next to her, without being able to free her from that monster. Now, however, that boy could help him finally free Kleene.

Meanwhile Drakken found himself at the feet of the Demon King, enraged by all the tears shed by his friends. In short, a disturbing black cloud enveloped the dark-haired boy's body, who had sent every friendly purpose to the devil, looking at him with all the hatred he had never felt in his life.

The black cloud soon dissipated, and what came out of Shiki had only a vague appearance. Long black horns rose at the sides of his head, with fiery red Ethere strands running through them, as his eyes were red, and the Ethere flowing on the marks on his face and arms.

Of Shiki's clothes only the pants remained, torn in large part, while the uncovered bust let Ethere's lines flow on the sculpted muscles of the black-haired boy. Drakken barely had time to get up, showing his mocking grin, that a gravitational vortex created in the room, sucking everything in. Jinn used the wind to protect him and Kleene from getting sucked in, while Drakken disappeared into the vortex, ending up who knows where in space. The objects that had begun to fly around the room fell to the floor as the vortex closed. Drakken was defeated, at least for the moment...

~~~~

Berial Gore rammed Edens while the latter, after a first moment of being attacked, promptly reciprocated. The ships began to fly crazy in that piece of Cosmo, trying to hit each other, avoiding attacks. The King soon got tired of that scoundrel who wanted to hurt his new friend, unconscious for days, and decided to end DJ Zombie's reign of terror once and for all. He had been magnanimous the previous time, but the damned had not understood that he would never allow him to hurt Kleene, like all his friends. They wouldn't cry again!

Witch and Moscov had reached Kleene's room, where Jinn jumped to attention, positioning himself to fight. From the noise and the tossing of the ship, something was happening, and he would protect his sister at any cost.

He almost didn't hit Moskov on the wall -Witch had dodged in time sensing Ethere's rise on the other side- and Jinn stopped his attack in time.

He owed it to them if Kleene had a survival hope after all.

~~~~

On Edens the stars were busy facing enemies. They had believed they had defeated them, but they had been deceived, and now they found themselves at a distinct disadvantage, a few steps away from defeat. By now even the smallest hope that the situation could be reversed had faded but, as if the Mother had listened to their prayers, two vortices open in the middle of the control room, where the enemies had managed to push them, putting them in a tight spot. From the first came Rebecca and Homura, who rushed to support Weisz, now almost passed out from the enormous loss of blood, while the blonde rushed to grab Happy, who came out with Pino from the second whirl. The cat transformed, allowing the blonde to shoot on enemies.

Homura joined her after putting Weisz safe, while the stars took advantage of the distraction of the enemies to go on the counterattack. Before long they won, returning to the ship's controls, while Sister took Weisz to the infirmary. They witnessed the disappearance of Drakken in Shiki's gravitational vortex, while Edens, with the latest maneuvers, landed on Belial Gore to bring their King back.

The dark-haired boy returned to his appearance, with his clothes intact, smiling at Jinn.

"You know? You're a very good friend!" He told him. "Do you want to join us?" He proposed to him while the latter looked at him in amazement. It was true that she had helped him, but in reality, she had done it so as not to miss the chance to save her sister, how could that boy smile at him after Kleene had captured two of his friends, and he had practically handed him to Joe? As they looked at each other, Kleene barely opened her eyes, focusing on the image of her brother and dark-haired man facing each other, as the voices and footsteps of Sister and Rebecca approached. Jinn barely had time to notice that she closed them, returning to the darkness.

The intruders were brought to the Belial Gore while Shiki waited for a response -he hoped positive- from Jinn. Meanwhile, Sister, who had examined everyone's health with her own sensors, approached Kleene with a worried expression on her face. "She needs treatment, and quickly! The Ethere in her body is running out!" Those words startled Jinn who, only for the safe of her sister, agreed to follow the King on Edens. Once everyone got on the ship, the Belial began to tremble and the stars hurried to set the course, making Edens fly, from which everyone saw the dematerialization of the enemy ship.

Drakken was not yet completely defeated, they knew this, but at that moment they could only resume their journey, the real showdown was still far away.

The days passed, and Kleene was saved in extremis by Sister, who had reestablished the levels of Ethere in his body, while the Demon King had promised Jinn, now his friend -without he openly accepting his friendly proposal- that as long as they would be been on Edens nobody would have touched Kleene. In the meantime she, out of danger, rested without opening her eyes yet. At least, she was no longer taking any risks.

~~~~

Sister checked Kleene's values, which fortunately, despite the confusion, were stable. Moskov was on watch, along with a Jinn whose eyes moved around them, careful to scrutinize any threat. Daichi was the one who worried him most, with all those liking about torture, and if Drakken was there then he was there too. He could not allow them to hurt her, and he would not allow it, if they managed to penetrate the ship's defenses they would find him and -he had to admit that the idea was beginning to like him, not so much, but he was no longer indifferent to him- his friend Shiki.

Edens dodged a purple ray from Belial, launching a similar one, but dark green in color, from the cannons commanded by Homura and Rebecca. The charge of the cannons was much less than half, but avoiding being hit, at least they would not have been weakened, so every time the ship dodged a shot the crew could take a breath of relief, but they had to find a way to beat that damned once and for all. The King was determined to keep him away from his friend, and in a hard voice ordered what to do, while keeping his eyes on the Edens main screen, which reported the image of the enemy ship, that worm would no longer hurt her. The members of his crew remembered having seen him so serious in the face very few times, and all when some of his friends were in danger, infusing them with the strength and lucidity to fight alongside him, they were proud of their King, and happy to fight together with him for the protection of what was also their friend, although there had not been time to clarify this point with the direct interested. Weisz examined the structure of the enemy ship, looking for some weak points to use to their advantage. They had few resources and would have to make the most of them, hoping that their enemy, at least a little, would be affected by the battle, if they wanted to win it. A succession of attacks kept Rebecca and Homura busy, while Hermit tried to infiltrate the Belial control system, unfortunately without success.

"My King, the ship's energy is decreasing drastically!" Witch became alarmed while, at the controls with Weisz, she instead examined the state of Edens. Attack after attack, the ship weakened more and more. "We have to use that Witch!" Hermit said instead, and the two stars looked at each other nodding, maybe it was the only way....

"What are you talking about Hermit? Witch!" Shiki alternated the look between the two confused. What were they talking about? What was there that he didn't know about his stars yet?

But there was no time for explanations, because yet another enemy attack managed to hit the right side of Edens, throwing the crew members ashore due to the shock that the ship suffered, while Rebecca and Homura did not wait, counterattacking immediately. The stars quickly got up and returned to their place, and Hermit typed something, incomprehensible to Shiki and Weisz, who had just got up and appeared on the central screen of the ship...

Moscov and Jinn had found themselves on the ground -Kleene would have done the same if Sister had not prevented it by keeping her in bed, after having warned Ethere that had struck Edens approaching- not understanding what had happened.

"Moscov! Come here, stay next to Kleene!" she called him back and in a moment he was beside her, while Jinn got up too.

Then the star headed out of the infirmary, running who knows where...

"Ready for Unison Stars mode! Activation between three...." Hermit recited, almost like a formula, while Sister ran into the control room, reaching the other stars "... two...." and three they put one next to the other ".... one...."

A green light enveloped the stars, spreading across the hall, and then the whole Edens. "Unison Stars active!"

The cannons fired without the two girls doing anything, and the ship approached the enemy high, the Belial's shots crashed on a green barrier that had covered the ship, without causing any damage, and before they could dodge it Edens hit the ship violently. Belial was thrown away with a gash on the left side, and the entire crew on the ground, while Edens stormed her with shots without stopping, already preparing for a further attack.

Joe was in serious trouble, maybe for the first time in his life -and he had lived really long- and was too weak to cope with it. He was in a bad way and could not help but give orders, remaining seated and motionless. He had come out of the last fight with the Demon King badly -and he had to thank any divine entity, maybe The Mother, for being miraculously alive- and he made enormous efforts ti do everything, but he wanted her....

He wanted Kleene and, even if absorbing her would not have helped to save him from the end, now really close, he was too thirsty for power to think clearly...

Edens threw herself again on the Belial, when a red vortex created itself out of nowhere, interposing between the two, making the Edens' race slow, and both crews -meanwhile Rebecca and Homura had joined the others in the control room- looked amazed which appeared when the vortex dissolved. An imposing black ship, almost as big as the Belial, was there in front of them. Other enemies, or valid allies? This was the question that lodged in everyone's minds, and both crews found themselves united in the same question.

"Drakken, you're under arrest, surrender, it's over!" and while everyone was wondering who the voice that had just sounded was -only knew it was a woman- the brown laughed, laughed maliciously, perhaps even scaring his own crew for the halo of madness that emanated his eyes. Meanwhile Homura recognized in the voice that of the woman he had met on Digitalis, the one who had taken his place... Amira....

"What the hell is he doing here?" she exclaimed snapping her companions, but the voice returned to attract their attention... "You are surrounded, there is no need to object!" he announced as other eddies formed, revealing to their eyes a series of ships identical to the first, all with cannons aimed at the Belial. Was that finally the end of Joe's empire?

It was the general thought as the chestnut found himself a gun aimed at the base of the neck, which made him stop laughing, to look at the person who had dared so much... "Heard? Give up!" Laguna intimated him by making the cold barrel of the weapon adhere to the chestnut's skin, and Drakken's henchmen watched the scene silently, unable to move. "Traitor!" Joe whispered, unable to believe that the brat could have played the double game, and even more to admit that he was so blind. "I'm not a traitor, I've never been on your side!" he exclaimed in a satisfied smile.

If there was one thing he was good at, besides turning people into water, it was infiltrating, and this thanks to the training of the GIA. The reinforcements arrived quickly in the control room of the Belial and the crew had to surrender, while they handcuffed them and then took them away. Meanwhile, all the inhabitants were detained for simple interrogations, the GIA had already prepared a program to transfer them to another planet, waiting to decide what to do with Belial.

The stars collapsed on the ground, leaving the ship's controls exhausted by the effort made, and were immediately taken to the infirmary, while the spirits calmed down.

It was really over, DJ Zombie would no longer terrify anyone, and after the necessary explanations, the crew, still dazed by what they had learned, went back to sailing the Cosmos...

~~~~

Amira and Laguna were agents of the GIA, which had been following in Joe's footsteps for a long time, and were preparing to arrest him when he followed and captured them. They couldn't send the plan upside down, but when Laguna understood Jinn's intentions, Kleene managed to sneak away to monitor the situation from headquarters. They had to change their plans, keeping an eye on Edens, confident that Drakken would return to the attack, and they were not disappointed. Laguna had never really been in the service of Drakken, infiltrating the ranks of the enemy, communicating every detail to his bosses.

~~~~

They were still contemplating what they had come to know when Moscov came running into the room, motioning the crew to follow him to the infirmary, and what a surprise it was for all of them, once they arrived, to see Kleene with her eyes finally open while, dazed, she he looked around asking his brother what was happening. "Good morning!" was the voice of Sister, who, together with Witch and Hermit, was standing at the door, finally waking up her too.

The King could only smile as he got his stars back in shape, as well as his new friend. But there were still many things he wanted to know, first of all how the ship had entered. Sister, Witch and Hermit would explain everything to him, but for the moment he just wanted to enjoy the newfound tranquility...

"Shiki, we had a game to play if I'm not mistaken..." Rebecca mockingly reminded him "... unless, you already want to get to work and make friends with some grasshoppers...." she grinned, while the King trembled.

"C-Come on... I-I won't lose this t-time...." The others laughed, and each returned to their occupation. Sister visited Kleene again, making sure she was okay. Witch and Hermit in the control room, checking the status of the ship. Weisz and Homura instead followed Shiki and Rebecca to watch the game that would have marked another defeat of the dark, ready to enjoy some comic scene starring him and his enemies. Those yes, unlike the others, would always have been unbeatable for the Demon King.

Everything returned to normal, while the ship was heading towards Bluegarden, the planet closest to them, to allow the crew to refresh themselves before leaving again for the Mother. And who knows how many enemies still would have to face, for the moment, however, Edens was wandering the Cosmos, enjoying the peace just returned.

The end.

At least, until a new adventure will begins. And there will be adventures, new friends and enemies. Word of the oracle of the Sakura Cosmos.

Quick Notes: Chapter 84

Before we start, I’d like to mention how glad I am that Tulsi Gabbard actually got a delegate yesterday. I’m not normally overtly political in these posts, but I’ve been called a Bernie bro multiple times over the past weeks, among other things. Let’s go!

This might be one of my favorite Rebecca covers in the series. It fits thematically well with the chapter while clearly not being a part of it.

I’m kicking myself for not picking up on the last chapter ending a week after Shiki died.

Next time on Capitalist Strawman of the Day: Sibir’s dead and people are worried about how his debts will be paid back.

Fun fact: the leg Pino has broken off is the same one that needed to be replaced when we first saw her. I’m not in pain, you are!

“They tell me that my other friends are safe.” Note: her other friends don’t include Happy or Pino, both of which clearly aren’t safe.

“I now lack emotion, with the exception of one: fear.” So you’re Drakken Joe’s ideal young person.

Also, Rebecca can no longer feel love. You either get the reference or you don’t.

“Forget the past.” You act like this hasn’t been a week. Heck, this kind of thing would take years to get over. I get that Laguna’s supposed to seem nice, but come on.

“There are surveillance cameras in this room. But we didn’t put any in the bathroom. We’re not crude.” Somehow, villains show more restraint than Mashima expects his audience to have.

It’s good that we’re getting some explanation about Rebecca’s Ether Gear and Drakken Joe’s plan. But Cat Leaper feels like too convenient a name to have for Rebecca’s to randomly have. Something’s up here...

On a related note, this story telling mode of cutting between present and past and only seeing Rebecca’s thoughts in the shower is freaking annoying.

I get their plan, but it’s dependent on her being able to activate it, despite all the emotional torture she’s been put through and barely knowing how to use it at all.

I’m gonna need to start a petition. If Shiki x Rebecca’s going to be the popular ship for this fandom, can we please come up with a better ship name that Shicca before the anime drops?

Oh look, another problem with this plan: it activated in the one room you’re not monitoring her in. Couldn’t you add “blatant vouyerism” to the list of evil things you do?

I’ll be disappointed if Rebecca’s Ether Gear doesn’t glow blue. Her channel literally translates to blue cat. This is too easy.

I’m fine with the arc reset, provided this actually fundamentally changes the arc into one of two things other than actually taking on Drakken Joe.

The goal is for the EZ crew to escape the planet before Drakken Joe can catch them.

Rebecca has to go through this arc, trying to avoid this bad ending. I don’t know if I want Rebecca to go through something like that. (up to 3:41)

I’m saying this a lot recently, but this arc lives or dies by what Mashima does next. We might be in for one of his best arcs yet or one of his worst. For now, I think this might be one of my favorite chapters to talk through. This series really is shaping up to be something special.

Before you go, a great new opportunity has been afforded. Kodansha has teamed up with Humble Bundle yet again to bring us a deal to get all the online volumes Fairy Tail, Rave Master and Edens Zero all at once. If you pay at least $20 for the whole bundle, you get Fairy Tail S and Mashima’s Playground thrown in. Check out if you’re interested, especially if you haven’t read Rave.

See you!

Argyle n aftercare yes omg!!! That’s the only time that I’m really touchy and I just know he would be down every time 🥰🥰

I'm glad you liked my headcanons :)

I've always thought about Argyle as being super clingy with his partner!! It's even kinda canon since we get to see him with Eden in the show and how absolutely smitten he gets when he first sees her

So it's only logical that he's like this, only ten fold, with his partner

Here's some more headcanons about Argyle and aftercare <3

Argyle headcanons - Aftercare

NSFW IMPLIED, MINORS DNI

God where do I even start with this man and aftercare

He's not one to be super super rough during sex in the first place, but even then, he's still super sweet after

His number one goal is to make sure you're comfortable and okay! He wants to make you feel good after sex too, not just during it

One habit he's had since the first time, he'll always admire you after

it doesn't even feel entirely sexual? Like sure, it is, you two just banged, but he's genuinely so happy and smitten with every aspect of you, he can't help but stare after sex, like all the time

This admiration involves a lot of light touches, mumbled praises, soft kisses all over your body, and definitely a lot of moments where he literally just forgets what he's doing because he's so in love

when he falls in love, he falls super fucking hard. It's why he has like ZERO filter from day one of you two dating

even from before you two dated, he just always had little to no filter

and after sex is definitely not an exception

he also makes sure you're feeling comfortable. he'd blow your back out then ask you how you like your eggs.

he gives into just about any demand that you have after you two are finished

little thirsty? he's running now to get you some nice ice water. hungry? he'll make you literally anything you can think of and put his own little stoner munchie induced twist on it. just want to cuddle? oh he is more than happy to make that happen

assuming you'd wanna be the little spoon, he'd practically engulf you in his arms. arms wrapped all the way around your waist and his face nicely tucked in the nook of your shoulder. lots of little kisses coming from him, and especially a lot of affection and praise from him too.

he's such a sweetheart. he'd sit there mumbling like "you're sure you're okay? yeah? you seem cold, c'mere" before pulling a blanket over you two and absolutely covering you in kisses

if you wanted to be the big spoon? he's definitely not against that. he doesn't mind laying with his head right on your chest (bare or covered, he's not picky) and just runs his hands up and down your sides. it's not even in a sexual way either, he just thinks you're pretty

in conclusion, argyle is a SWEETHEART.

Highlights of 2021

Fruits Basket The Final Season

this show deserve to go out with a bang especially my OTP becoming canon 😭

Yes Kyoru is my ship Kyo deserves to be happy 😭

Eden’s Zero

Seeing one of another Hiro Mashima’s masterpieces becoming an adaption ever since Fairy Tail was wrapped up in 2019 and confirmed we are getting a 100 years quest adaption.

Seeing my boy Shiki getting adapted was mostly the highlight but 10/10 in both eng and jap both Takuma Terashima and Sean Chiplock were perfect for Shiki’s voice.

also its confirmed we are getting a season 2 of this it was literal teased at the end of the final episode which leads in one of the best arcs in this manga.

Eren from Attack on Titan Final Season Part 1

Although I’m not clearly a big fan of the manga’s ending I just hope MAPPA will change it to fit the story but I love how much Eren has grown since well Season 3 Part 2, we get another timeskip 3 years and Eren is 19 now so basically he’s an adult and we see him alot different now.

Turns out Eren has so called betrayed the scouts and take the fight to the people across the sea this time otherwise they would of made a move and its clearly Eren they are after cause of his founding titan power.

Well Eren is not really a scout anymore he’s gone rogue and now leader of the Yeagerists he even turn his back on Mikasa and Armin but I know he was trying to protect them by pushing them away cause all he wants is freedom for him and for the people inside the walls.

Both Bryce Papenbrook and Yuki Kaji sounded great as Eren in the final season.

Eden: BLEACH [1]

ZERO / BLEACH (here) / TWIST / REVERSE / DYE / RED

“I have been loved,” she said, "by something strange, and it has forgotten me.” -Djuna Barnes

++++

Do not give your heart away.

The scrying bones’ warning lingered in Sakura’s head. She shambled through her morning routine, bumping into door frames and buttoning her shirt up wrong. She stood in the doorway to the kitchen, just staring.

Madara stood by the stove, wincing as he sipped his too-hot coffee. He made a sweeping gesture with his finger. The pancakes in the pan flipped- perfectly golden brown.

He finally noticed her and clicked his tongue.

“What are you? Five?” he nagged as he gestured at her crooked shirt. Sakura followed his gaze. It took a second for her to realize what was wrong. She turned around to rebutton her shirt. And then her gaze fell on his face.

“You’ve got an eye booger, Papa,” she pointed out.

Madara rubbed his left eye.

“No. The other one.”

He rubbed the other eye.

That made her smile a little.

Madara sniffed. “Get the syrup. You want orange juice?”

He turned away from her. And then he stiffened when he felt her hug him from behind, her hands clenching tightly into the front of his shirt.

“You’re acting weird. What’s wrong with you?” he wondered, twisting around to look at her. But she only held on harder, burying her face against his back.

They just stood there. Not speaking. She had no idea what expression he had on his face.

“I’m fine, Papa,” she finally croaked, her voice shaking.

“You’re…” Madara sighed. “You’re a really shitty liar.”

Madara finally managed to pry her off him to finish making breakfast. They sat across from each other at the smooth wooden table. Madara scrutinized her as she cut her pancakes into little squares. Her chin jerked up when she heard him mutter “ah, shit”. He had poured maple syrup into his coffee.

As Madara set the glass bottle aside, Sakura suddenly remembered another day just like this. Only laughing and reading texts from her phone. On a day just like this. One of the many she had seen in that long dream.

Sakura looked down at her plate. Her knife and fork still held in her hands.

“Not hungry?”

“Huh?” she mumbled, looking up again.

Madara was staring at her again, his maple-flavored coffee pushed to the side.

“You want something else?” he asked her, already twisting in his chair. He flicked his finger to open the refrigerator. The jars of pickles and other condiments jingled together with the movement. Madara begin swishing his finger back and forth, pushing around some bacon and a carton of eggs. He found some yogurt and a carrot.

“No. No, I’m… It’s good,” Sakura said, spearing a piece of pancake and popping it into her mouth. It was fluffy and sweet. Just the way he had cooked them for her since she was 8.

Madara turned back to her, still frowning. He made a sweeping gesture and the fridge door closed behind him.

“Maybe you should take a day off today. Shisui can cover your appointments,” he suggested.

Sakura shook her head.

Work was dependable. It would keep her mind off of things.

“I need to brew more sleeping draught. They say mine tastes best,” she insisted.

Madara’s lips thinned. But he nodded. Because he always let her do what she thought best. He was wonderful that way.

“You’ll be home early, right?” he asked. “I’ll make something good.”

“Yeah. I don’t have any plans,” she said.

On her way to the dream shop, she left Gaara a message and said she wasn’t feeling well. He seemed worried and asked when they could reschedule. She didn’t reply. She blocked his number instead.

The store was already open when she arrived. Sakura felt a faint hum in the air as she rested her hand on the doorknob. Bells chimed as Sakura stepped into the shop. The dreams sat on the shelves glowed white for a moment when she stepped inside. Then they faded back to their natural colors.

Her eyes fell on Shisui who leaned against the counter, his elbow on the register. His eyes widened when Sakura rushed forward to throw her arms around him.

“Woah! What’s up with you?” he demanded. But he hugged her back. Shisui might have been the only Uchiha in history who was a fan of physical affection. She squeezed him a little harder. Laughing, Shisui patted her back. But when she didn’t laugh in return, Shisui’s laugh faded.

“Hey. Did something happen?” he demanded.

“I’m just… just really happy you’re here,” she replied, pulling back enough that he could see her smile. Shisui tilted his head to one side, searching her face. Slowly, a smile appeared on his face too.

“Alright, Sakura. Good to see you too.”

Itachi received a similar welcome when he came downstairs. His client’s nightmare resolved, he left the woman to get some sleep. As soon as he appeared, Sakura barreled into him with a hug too. Itachi gave Shisui a questioning look over her head. Shisui shrugged in response.

Soon, it was time for Shisui to get ready for his morning appointment. He ruffled Sakura’s hair as he headed for the creaky stairs. Itachi put his coat on to go buy some coffee as soon as Sasuke arrived at the shop to watch the counter. Sasuke waved a lazy hand at her when she told him that she would be in the back.

A while later, she heard the door creak open.

“That’s alder, not peppermint.”

Sakura stared down at the bubbling cauldron. The light green leaves sat in her open palm. She blinked a few times. And when she lifted her chin, she found Sasuke leaning against the doorway. He held out a paper cup of coffee.

“Sorry, what?” she finally said.

He wrinkled his nose at her. “What’s up with you?” he wondered. He crossed the room to snatch the leaves out of her hand. He placed the correct ingredient in their place.

“You’re being weird,” Sasuke then added, scowling as he scrutinized her face.

That was fair. She had thrown her arms around him in a huge hug the minute he walked into the shop. Sasuke was not big on physical affection. She knew that. Still, he tolerated the hug for a few seconds before he was shoving her away.

“I...uh... sorry,” Sakura mumbled. She tilted her hand. Let the leaves drift down, landing in the hot potion. She stirred the liquid three times. Banged the spoon against the side of the cauldron for luck- just the way Madara had taught her. She accepted the coffee and opened the lid. Little dots of cinnamon drifted on top- just the way she liked it. Itachi never forgot.

Sasuke’s expression softened. “Is everything okay?”

Sakura closed her eyes. Trying to gather her thoughts.

“Um... I’m not sure,” she confessed. When she opened her eyes, she had an idea.

“I could use some family time. Should we ask Shisui and Itachi to get dinner?” she suggested.

Sasuke’s eyebrows rose as he thought. He looked up as he thought it over. And then he nodded. “Yeah, I should be free this weekend. Let’s ask.”

Itachi had taken a job a part-time job at the police’s Demonology Division last year. Some people called them demon hunters, which was, according to Itachi, “both wrong and ignorant”.

He mentioned this again when they all met on Saturday. Shisui popped a piece of broccoli into his mouth and chewed too hard. When he met Sasuke’s gaze, they rolled their eyes together. They had all heard this speech about a hundred times before.

They all knew that Itachi’s job was more about gathering information on demons and cataloguing them. Sometimes he had to go out and catch them too. But even then, it was more about rehabilitation than capture. After all, demons were just rogue spirits who had failed to uphold a contract.

Sakura threw Shisui a pleading look.

Taking pity on her, Shisui cleared his throat. “Okay, enough about that, Itachi. Why don’t we talk about something more important?”

He cocked an eyebrow. “Like how Sakura’s date went the other day?” Shisui suggested instead.

Itachi’s eyes slid over to Sakura. Then back down to his carton. He picked through the contents with his chopsticks.

"Date? Was he nice?” he asked. He looked up at Sakura.

Chin sunk into her turtleneck, Sakura shrugged.

“I didn’t see him. It’s whatever,” she mumbled.

It was Sasuke’s turn to shoot her a look. He snorted.

“Whatever?” Sasuke repeated. “You wouldn’t shut up about it before it happened. What do you mean ‘whatever’?” He leaned over to peer into Itachi’s carton of food. Itachi tilted it toward his brother, but he kept his eyes focused on Sakura. Sasuke fished out a piece of baby corn and popped it into his mouth.

“Did something happen?” asked Itachi.

“I’m not gonna see him, okay? So just drop it!” Sakura snapped.

Sasuke dropped another piece of baby corn, chopsticks fumbling. He looked from Itachi to Shisui.

Shisui scratched his cheek. “Oh. Uh... Guess you really mean it,” he tried to laugh.

Itachi’s forehead wrinkled. “He didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

Sakura shook her head. “Just... I don’t want to see him again. Drop it.”

Shisui held his hands up. “Alright. Dropped,” he agreed.

Itachi got up to choose a movie. He and Shisui debated a few before they settled on a newer film.

As the opening scene lit up the screen, Sasuke nudged Sakura with his elbow. She glanced at him.

‘You alright?’ he mouthed.

Sakura nodded.

Halfway through the movie, Sakura felt pressure building up in her temples. Mumbling an excuse about going to the bathroom, Sakura slipped out of the room. She stumbled down the stairs. The wood creaked under her feet.

“Papa?” Sakura called.

There was no answer. And for a moment, she felt the same sense of panic rising in her throat. But then a silvery-blue water spirit flitted out of the bathroom. It hovered over to Sakura, landing on her collarbone.

“In the library, little one,” it squeaked. And maybe it felt Sakura’s heart pounding because it tilted its head.

“Why are you fearful?” it questioned her.

Sakura pressed her lips together. She shook her head, mustering a smile.

“It’s nothing. Thank you,” Sakura replied before she continued down the stairs. She pushed open the door that led to a spiraling staircase that wound down and down. She blinked when she emerged in the spacious library. Leaning against the balustrade was Madara, an old book in his hand. He lowered his glasses, letting them dangle from the chain around his neck.

“What is it?” he asked.

When Sakura massaged her temples, he indulged her with a smile. He reached for her with his free hand. The tip of his finger touched her head. He yanked. The tangled threads of magic unraveled and then exploded, showering down like little bits of confetti. Madara batted them away with impatient waves.

“What’s the face?” he then demanded.

“Nothing.”

“That’s not a ‘nothing’ face. What’s wrong?” he insisted, closing his book now.

Sakura kept her mouth shut. But she wormed her way under his arm, wrapping her arms around him. Madara blinked. And then he heaved a sigh.

“You really don’t change,” he muttered, patting her back a few times.

By the time she made it back upstairs, she had missed a few important scenes. Shisui offered to rewind it for her, but Sakura refused, settling on the floor beside Sasuke. She grabbed a pillow, hugging it against her chest. Trying her best to focus on the bright colors that flashed across the screen.

The next day, at the dream shop, Shisui cornered her in the break room behind the stairs. Coffee in hand, Sakura muttered “good morning” to him, ready to squeeze past. Instead, Shisui took a step to block the door.

Sakura stared at him now. “What are you doing?”

Shisui stared right back.

“What’s going on with you?” he demanded.

Sakura blinked. Looked at her coffee. Then up at him. “I’m… drinking coffee?”

“You’ve been acting super weird. Is…” Shisui lowered his voice, ducking towards her, “Did something happen to you that you don’t want to talk about?” His eyes darted around.

Sakura hesitated.

He was right, in a way.

She had seen something she didn’t want to talk about.

Madara’s neck bent at the wrong angle. Beside him, Gaara with a hole in his chest, his hand still clinched around Madara’s arm. Blood creeping across the floorboards, so deep red that it was almost black.

If she thought about it too long, all the smells and sounds of that scene returned to her. She shook her head, trying to banish the memory.

“Just… had a nightmare. That’s all,” she answered.

Shisui’s expression softened. “Oh. Must’ve been pretty bad. I’ll come check on you tonight. I’ll sleep over, okay?” he offered.

And just because she wanted to stop talking about this, Sakura nodded.

That night, Sakura closed her eyes and found herself at the entrance to the dream world. The purple door seemed a little bigger than usual. When she rested her hand on the wood, the places she touched glowed softly. Warm. As if reassuring her. The tangled vines that edged the door shifted a little too.

The corridor was long. And as she walked, she passed doors that were dim and dull. If she tried to reach for doorknob, there was nothing there.

It had taken a few visits to the dream world for her to remember to ask Madara why that was.

“The doors only open if the person is alive. When you die, so does your door,” he explained, lowering his book. Never impatient that she had interrupted his research.

It made sense. The Uchiha family was old. Many people had come and gone over the years- many of them brilliant magic users in different ways. She wished on many occasions that she could meet these people. Just to talk about magic theory with them. Just to understand what kind of thought process had led them to their breakthroughs.

But dreams were tied to the soul. And if there was no soul, there was nowhere to tether those dreams anyway.

Sakura found her door. A minty green, shimmering a little. When she reached, the crystalline doorknob appeared in her hand. She twisted. Pushed. The door to her dream opened up so naturally.

Shisui joined her a little while later. He found her casting a particularly complex dream. He ducked out of the way when Sakura extended an arm, and a bottle went sailing across the room to reach her hand. He stood in the doorway, watching the colors and sounds meld together. There were snippets of laughter. The smells of garlic and soy sauce. A song that sounded familiar.

“Is this… from movie night?” he realized as he stepped inside the room now.

He watched her pull all the swirling sounds and colors together. Her magic squeezed around them, a translucent mist that bent reality around the dreams. As she clenched her hand, the magic contracted too. It applied pressure and heat in all the right ways until the dream condensed into a single crystal.

“It’ll make a nice dream for someone,” she said softly, plucking the crystal from the air. It was another rose quartz. The walls of her room in the dream world were already filled with them. But she couldn’t help it. Dreams about family and friends were her favorite to make. They were always warm. And it was nice to know that this warmth could be used to help someone else- even if just for one night.

“So…” Shisui took the crystal from her hand. He turned it around, examining the gleaming facets. “You wanna talk about this nightmare? Need me to untangle something for you?”

Sakura snatched the crystal back. She tossed it into the air. It hovered for a moment, then found an empty spot on the shelf and slid into place.

“Papa’s better at untangling nightmares than you are. It’s fine,” she replied, a little snootily. As expected, Shisui’s expression crumpled with disgust.

“Ugh. You’re so attached to him. It’s gross.”

She didn’t get mad. She knew he was only half-serious. And as if to prove it, he smiled at her.

“You sure you don’t want to talk?” he asked one more time.

She nodded. “Yeah. I was just being silly… letting something like that get to me.”

Shisui made another face. “It’s not silly,” he insisted.

And because time flowed strangely in the dream world, they heard a distant beeping noise. They fell silent, straining to hear it.

“Is that your alarm or mine?” Shisui wondered.

“I… think it’s… mine,” Sakura guessed.

“Alright then. See you later,” Shisui said. He waved once before the room began to dissolve all around them.

When Sakura opened her eyes, she was lying on her side, one of her arms thrown over her face. Her phone beeped on the nightstand, demanding her attention. She groped around until her finger made contact with the screen. The beeping stopped.

She lay there in the half-darkness of her room. A few slivers of light leaked in through the blinds. But it would be so easy to close her eyes and drift back off to sleep.

She heard creaking footsteps in the hall. Madara’s bleary, uneven footfalls thumped down the steps. And then she heard a drawn-out grunt.

“What the hell are you doing in my house?” Madara demanded.

“Ugh. Shut up, old man!” snapped Shisui. And then he yelped.

Sighing, Sakura got out of bed to go intervene before they hurt each other.

After a good night’s sleep, Sakura felt more like herself. She buttered a slice of toast, humming a little. Madara scrubbed a hand over his face.

“Feeling better?” he inquired.

“Yeah.”

He gave her a clumsy pat on the head as he went to pour himself more coffee.

Shisui let out a huge yawn. Eyes barely open, he shoveled spoonfuls of cereal into his mouth.

Sakura rubbed the back of her neck. And then again.

“Papa, I think my tag is scratching me,” she grumbled. Sakura leaned over, pulling her hair to the side.

Madara paused. And then he snickered. “Still such a kid,” he teased her. But he reached over and tucked the label of her shirt back in place.

“There you go, kiddo,” he then said. And then the gentleness was gone as he turned his gaze to Shisui.

“Hurry up and get the hell out of my house,” Madara ordered.

But Shisui, who was used to this by now, completely ignored his uncle as he poured himself another bowl of cereal.

Sakura laughed when Madara transmuted Shisui’s cereal milk into orange juice. And then she laughed even harder when Shisui turned Madara’s stubble bright orange in retaliation.

In that moment, with the autumn sun spilling in through the kitchen window, everything was alright.

Back again with the costume designer talk -- Yes, I agree with the mischaracterization of all the characters in s6. It felt like last series' plots and endings had been thrown out the window. While watching s6, it felt like a different show all together. Everything that made every character unique was gone. Was there any reason as to why Edward was gone? Also, you stated that Matty likes Victorian and gothic culture. What are other characters' interests? I know Alo's are nature/punk; Rich: metal

Totally. I think series 5 got a lot of backlash from older fans who no longer felt like the characters were relatable and were very vocal about that fact on Twitter, and so they decided to go completely in the opposite direction because maybe people would like that instead. And I think that’s a real shame, because like I’ve said before, I think series 5 is some of the best, tightest writing that Skins ever did. As far as Edward goes, I think he left to work on Secret Diary of a Call Girl. My impression is that he was trying to balance both jobs in 2010 and then felt like it was too much. Katie Newham, who took over, was Edward’s assistant costumer, so I think he assumed that she would be able to just pick up where he left off, which ended up totally not being the case (and which is what makes me think she comes from a styling/costume construction background as opposed to a costume design one).

Canonically in terms of interests, here’s what the characters like:

Franky likes “making stuff,” The Catcher in the Rye, The Little Prince, Clockwork Orange, Graphic Novels – Dark Knight, Manga - The Rose of Versailles, Arcade Fire, Burial, Crystal Castles, Nirvana, Corpse Bride, Seven Samurai, Let Me In, Bad Santa, Spirited Away, Vertigo, Harold Lloyd!, Dexter, The Walking Dead, Battlestar Galactica, and taking photos.

Alo likes his weed, his van, his dog, Youth in Revolt, The Dharma Bums, The Velveteen Rabbit, Blitzen Trapper, Wolf Parade, Dog is Dead, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's, Fruit Bats AND Filthy filthy filthy filthy filth. Borgore, Excision, DatSikk, Funtcase, 16 Bit, Into the Wild, Grizzly Man, Where the Wild Things Are, East of Eden, The Jungle Book, Backdoor Sluts 9, The Hangover, Ninja Warrior, Party Down. Summer Heights High. Babestation. South Park. Family Guy, Lookwell, porn, and Victorian porn.

Rich is mostly defined by what he doesn’t like: he doesn’t like pop music, Simon Cowell, beautiful people, Radio 1, ITV, rapping, beatboxing, middle-class wankers, racism, sexism, Death Cab For Cutie, The Smiths, religion, Downton Abby, Tracy Chevalier, nu-metal, Empire magazine, Kerrang (wankers), drum machines (except when carefully used in Grindcore or Cybergrind – see Cutting Pink With Knives and Noism), synthesizers, Beth Ditto, public displays of affection, the city centre at the weekend, trance, techno, house, dubstep or any music made by skinny white people with computers, Kanye West, JLS, any show about fucking cooking or cooks, townies, chavs, narcissistic politicians, teachers, the song ‘Wait and Bleed’, the second solo on ‘Master Of Puppets’, artichokes, JK Rowling, any film or tv show with fucking vampires or zombies made after 1986, Glee, Glee, Glee, Glee, Glee, Glee, Glee. He does like metal (”ugly, angry music which you’d probably hate because you don’t understand it”), Atlas Shrugged, American Psycho, The Illuminatus Trilogy, Slayer, Napalm Death, Black Sabbath, Raging Speedhorn, Noism, Atari Teenage Riot, Venetian Snares, Behold The Arctopus, Godflesh, Cathedral, Sleep, Sepultura, Pantera, Soul Fly, Slipknot (2nd album only), PPK, Anal Cunt, Pig Destroyer, Jesu, Sunn 0))), James Plotkin, Earth, Brain Donor, Chrome Hoof, Hair Police, Mayhem, Wolves In The Throne Room, Burzum, Wolf Eyes, Ec8or, Dark City, Split Second, Blade Runner, Near Dark, Braindead, Halloween, The Thing, The Fly, and Alien.

Mini likes “Shopping. Shoes. Sushi. Sex. (”yes, always in that order.”) Sour apple martinis, putting effort into her appearance, Diana, Princess of Wales, Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, yoga, Pilates, fashion, fragrances, dubstep, Katy Perry, Harry Potter, Twilight, Dreamgirls, Grease, Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, The Hot Chick, Legally Blonde, Clueless, Mean Girls, Crossroads, Inbetweeners, Misfits, Come Dine With Me, Party Wars, True Blood, Gossip Girl, 90210, The Hills, and ANTM.
