Mirio

It would be a disgrace if I didn’t use this pic

So you had been invited to a photo shoot for a pretty high end boutique to be one of the models

Were you stoked that this extremely prestigious brand wanted you on their front cover? Yes. Were you terrified as hell? Also a fat yes.

Mirio, being the adorable boyfriend he is, was hyping you up for it

“Your going to be amazing sunshine! Ya never know until you try, ya know?”

Even with him being your support, you still felt extremely self conscious

“I don’t know...I’m not a model, I don’t think I can do it-“

“Don’t talk so negatively like that babe! What if I came with you, would that calm your nerves some?”

Your practically melted into him, giving him the biggest hug everrrr

“Oh my god would you? That would make me feel so much better-“

“Of course babe! Wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it!”

So the day of, you came into the photo shoot fresh faced and pale as hell from nerves

They seperated you from Mirio, taking you to the makeup area and clothing area

You entered a room lined with extremely bright makeup stands and racks of clothing, your area in a small corner to the right with a mannequin wearing a certain set of clothes

You finally realized what you were actually modeling-and your mouth dropped

No wonder the asked you to model, being Mirio’s girlfriend-it was a sexy version of his hero suit

It was a skin tight leotard, the number “1000000” scrawled against your chest, a thick red cape draping against the back

Lemon colored glasses and thigh high blue boots completed the look, a huge gulp reverberating from your throat-

How the hell were you going to pull this off? In front of your boyfriend no less-

You pain stakingly got your makeup done and your hair, your strands pooled up like Mirio’s hair in the front and the rest cascading in bed head curls

You finally got the skin tight costume on, looking at yourself in the mirror-you felt nervous but-strangely calm-you didn’t look half bad, actually

A small smile graced your face as you walked out, your heels clicking against the floors as you walked into the photo shoot room

Now the question was where was your-

“Hey sunshine! Whoa, that get up looks great, looks pretty similar to something I wear dontcha think?” He was totally teasing you, his tone playful as he leaned into your blushing face

Suddenly your bravery was gone and you were a nervous wreck-your boyfriend was looking at you with hungry eyes, his orbs gazing over every exposed curve

“Mirio, you don’t have to look at me like that-“ you whined, feeling your cheeks burn bright red

“But I want to look at you like this babe,” he smiled, his voice dropping as he licked his lips- “you look absolutely delicious dressed up like that.”

Tamaki

“Oh cmon Tamaki, please come with us!” You pleaded with your nervous boyfriend, his brows furrowed in fear

It was the middle of October, and you and Neijire were planning to go to an early Halloween party in the middle of town

“I-I wish I could go bunny, I really do, it’s just-“

Tamaki was fiddling with is hands, his inky black hair cascading over his distraught face

He would love to go with you, but the thought of people, and dancing, and dressing up, and oh god what if they made fun of his costume-

You placed a kiss on your boyfriend’s cheek, sending him a reassuring smile

“No worries, Tama, I get it-just stay home and chill, I’ll make sure to come home a little early,”

“Oh-okay,” he obliged, watching you go into the bathroom to get ready

Tanaka decided to do exactly what you asked him to do-he watched some TV, ate some food, anything to calm his nerves as you got ready

After an hour or so, you emerged from the bathroom, walking into the kitchen in your full get up

Your hair was straight, see through yellow glasses covering your eyes. You wore a black leotard, the fabric hugging your curves as a beige cape draped around your thighs. Two purple belt laid against your hips, drawing attention to your plush thighs as your boots clicked around the apartment

Poor Tamaki practically choked on his cereal when you walked in-when you said you were wearing a costume, you didn’t tell him it was his hero suit!

Tamaki walked over a blush erupting over his face, “Y-y/n? W-what are you-wearing?”

You spin around, guilt pooling in your stomach as your eyes met your boyfriends flustered gaze

“I’m sorry Tamaki I should have told you! The party is “hero” themed, so I thought the best suit to wear was yours-do you...want me to take it off?”

Tamaki vigorously shook his head, his cheeks a fiery red

“N-no! Please don’t! Honestly, that’s the last thing I want...” he stuttered his shaking hands resting on your hips and pulling you gently to his chest

You had never seen Tamaki so bold-your eyes widened, your hands placed against his chest

“-but I don’t think you should go to that party tonight”

Bakugo

You ran over to Bakugo, your phone screen containing a pic of a cosplayer dressed up in full Bakugo hero suit, gauntlets and all

You legit shoved it into your boyfriends face, your face beaming- “look how cool this costume is!”

“Tch-Only I can wear my hero suit as well as me,” Bakugo scoffed, going back to eating his ramen

You looked at him distraught and disbelief- “Cmon, Bakugo, you had to admit it’s pretty cool-“

“Cool? He’s a fucking wierd ass nerd, making my hero suit...” Bakugo said under his breath, his eyes now glaring at his phone screen

You placed your hands on your hips- “So if I wore your hero suit, I would be ‘wierd ass nerd’?”

Bakugo chuckled harshly- “Yeah-but you couldn’t wear it, like I said, I’m the only one who can pull it off-“

Ha-if that fucker wanted to play, then you were here to win

You slammed your hands down on the table, your arms encasing a surprised Bakugo in between your arms

You gave him a wicked grin, making Bakugo’s crimson eyes wide with surprise-“Bet bitch.”

Y’all are so mean to each other 😳

You stomped out of the room, your mind now reeling-you had ZERO idea how to make his costume...

You quickly made a call to Mina and Momo, telling them about your predicament-Mina would help you design, and Momo would help make the materials

Both were extremely open to helping you, especially Mina-any attempt to destroy Bakugo’s overly high ego, she was down to do!

But she had a twist to your intial plan- “what if you did a sexy version of him! That’d show him!”

You weren’t exactly sure how that would do anything, but eh why not-if you could make him even more mad, this was the way to do it

Momo was hesitant to make such a lewd outfit, but you quickly reminded her of her revealing hero outfit

-she quickly agreed after that

Mina designed the “suit”-honestly it was just a bra with two orange X’s, bootie shorts with a grenade belt, and green ribbon connecting to the black thigh high boots

You complained to Mina about how uncomfortable the high heel was, which she responded with “Beauty is pain!”

You fought the urge to roll your eyes

How would Bakugo’s suit be complete without the gauntlets! You three had the hardest time with that-deifnitely spent a whole day watching 3 hours worth of cosplay tutorials to make those damn things

But after many hours of snacking, hot glue guns, and screams of annoyance, you three FINALLY had the costume finished-and you couldn’t be happier! It honestly made you feel so cool and powerful...especially those gauntlets-

no wonder why he wore the clunky things, they honestly were fun to wear

You decided to wear the outfit before Bakugo came home one day, your face smug as you waited for him to enter your shared apartment

You finally heard the click of the door, Bakugo wearing his usual baggy pants and shirt he wore when he came home, his shoulder holding his duffel bag full of things

“-Hey”, he welcomed you gruffily, not even noticing your attire

“Hey yourself-“ you replied, a shit eating grin on your face as you walked over to him.

He still wasn’t looking, too busy rummaging through his bag- “Am I still a wierd ass nerd?”

Bakugo looked up, and holy shit was he in for a sight

When you said you would make his hero suit, he didn’t take it that seriosuly- you? Make his suit? Psh like that’d happen

BUT IT HAPPENED

You looked-really good in it too-he deifnitely was appreciating the extra skin that was involved 😳

You smirked at his obvious surprise, his cheeks a fiery red as you did a small spin in the suit- “How does it look?”

Suddenly you felt pressure against your wrists from Bakugo’s hands, your back now against the wall as Bakugo drank you in with his piercing red eyes

Now it was your turn to be surprised-cause crap you didn’t expect that to happen

He was now in control of the situation and he knew it-he gave you a shit eating grin, making your blood feel incredibly warm

“-it looks decent...but I think it would be better on the floor”

Kaminari

“Mina no, I’m not-“

You were in shock, flabbergasted, confused-when did they have a intimates based off of hero suits?

AND WHY THE HELL DID THEY HAVE YOUR BOYFRIENDS SUIT

“MINA YES!” she squealed, giggling as she pulled your size out of the rack

The little outfit was pretty revealing- all it was was a white lacy bralette, with a short black jacket with white lighnting bolt decal and a short black leather skirt to match

It was honestly not your thing-it also just felt wierd to wear something like this-

“Your buying it and that’s that-you needed neccesities and this-“ she shook the outfit in your face, “is a necessity!”

The girl seriosuly shouldn’t be allowed to spend money-she stuffed the outfit in her full bag of clothes, bouncing over to the register as you followed her from behind

“I needed bras Mina, not lingerie!”

Yeah she didn’t listen

You finally got home, trying on your new outfits from your shopping spree when you fell upon the set shoved in your shopping bag

The little pink sneak

You pulled it out-it wouldn’t hurt to try it on, she did buy it for you...

You quickly got into it, admiring your body in the mirror-it was tight alright, but kinda cute in ...the skirt accentuated your legs, the bra was decently comfy, and the jacket pulled the whole thing together and made it a pretty cool yet revealing outfit

Just as you were testing out how much movement you had in the leather jacket,you heard the door open to the bedroom you and your boyfriend shared

“Hey babe, do we have any more toilet-“ Kamianri waltzed in, unknowingly oblivious to the scene before him, until he laid eyes on you

You never thought you saw the man blush harder-his eyes were wide with shock, his cheeks a hot shade of red as sparks of electricity flashed around his body

He obviously didn’t know how to react, and in his flusteredness, he somehow slipped on the floor, landing with a hard thud

“Denki!” You yelled out, scrambling to your ditzy boyfriend, “you okay?”

Kaminari gazed up at you, and holy crap he felt blessed- he had a full view of your exposed cleavage, a grin growing on his face as blood tricked down from his nose

“Oh no, Kami, you got a bloody nose-“ you scrambled to get him a towel, kneeling down to place it against his nose

He quickly swiped the blood away, his hands instead pinning yours against your back

“-Dont worry about that,” he grinned, his eyes a dangerous shade of yellow, “let’s worry about you babygirl...and where you got that little get up,”

Sorry for updating so late, been busy today

I finished Hashihime of the old book town 2 days ago, it was absolutely amazing, i think i'm gonna replay the first route again, it's just so good😭

I bought another bl game from the same publisher(?) And i thought they would have the same mc for each route but turns out the mc changes every route, i didnt know this and got attached to the first mc, needless to say, i am unable to continue with the 2nd and third route as i am too attached to mc, yes i have attachment issues, i'll probably play the game once my attachment to the mc is gone or sum, probably will take months if not a year or two.

I've bought Hashihime of the old book town, Royal Alchemist & Uuultrac so far, i'm gonna get Divine speaker next but after that, i feel lost on what to get, there really aren't many bl game that interest me, hashihime set my standards wayyy too high to the point i want to make a visual novel but remembered i'm shit at using softwares, plus i dont know if my art will turn out good. (And i have no idea how to draw backgrounds)

Alright so for the update of the date, we went to get some dinner, we originally wanted to go to a fancy restaurant as he suggested but then we decided to go to his place last minute, when we did get to his place, he got changed from his suit to a more casual wear and started cookin', he made some Spaghetti Carbonara for the two of us, he also brought a vase of flowers to the table, lit up some candles and turned off the lights, it was pretty romantic, i remember every single detail, his cooking was delicious as always, after we had our fill, i offered to wash the dishes as he already cooked after that he gave me some of his clothes to change into since i only wore formal clothes as i thought we would only go to a restaurant, and then go back to our respective places, he lent me a shirt and pants, we were almost the same height so it fit, i took a bath and so did he (seperately) , we then got on the couch and since he didnt have hashihime of the old book town on his computer or laptop, we decided to watch a gameplay of it on the tv, why did we do that you might ask, because i wanted him to see Professor's route, plus he was a bit curious, i was crying mid way through the route as the route was so sad😭, he saw me tearing up so he grabbed a tissue and wiped my tears, it wss kinda awkward since i never rlly got this treatment before...I thanked him and apologized for letting my emotions get the better of me lmao, he told me there was no reason for me to apologize and we continued watching, by the end of it, he was really heart warmed by the gameplay, by that time it was getting a bit late but since he didnt need to work the next morning, we stayed up some more, playing games, baking, ate snacks and made smoothies, IT WAS SO FUN😫

When we went to sleep, instead of me taking the couch, this time he told me to stay on the bed with him, I agreed as we have stayed in each other's beds together before, we cuddled each other to sleep, when i woke up, it was about 9/10am, he had already woken up before me, again preparing breakfast, we ate and he took me home not long after, i fell asleep in his car, i woke up on my bed, him on my couch, i fell asleep for about an hour, he said he had to carry me as he didn't want to disturb me, i was shocked he could carry me but then remembered i'm very light...

After that nothing really happened i was just busy throughout the day and almost falling asleep every second, sorry if this is too long, i was just so happy this all happened, i never had such fun in my whole entire life😭😭 applogies for typos anywhere, still pretty tired but unable to sleep for some reason,maybe it's too soon but i'm planning on initiating the first kiss next time we go on a date, should i invite him to a date a week from now? Or is it too soon? Any advices??

Man your really obsessed with games

Also that was too sweeet like form a movie and some , and no it’s never too early and not too late so go for it

[psycho-pass-saiko]

[Some time after their lunch date, Kogami pays a visit to his former superior for a small training session]

...

Kogami, entered the semi-abandoned base as she called “home” these days. The electric was on but was only enlightining the training place, which was placed in the center of the large room. Containing of a large tatami floor. Except the rink, there werent much furniture in this broad room. It felt as if he was in an aircraft shed.

He saw two figures under the lamp, moving back and forward. As he got closer to the figures, the one next the brunette was someone quite familiar.

‘’ Is that… me?’’

‘’Huh-..argh!’’ with a confused yelping, Akane lost her balance as the training robot kicked her legs from the ground, forcing her to fall hard on her chest.

Kogami, made a move forward to help the laying woman but Akane quickly recovered from her earlier state with a back roll, now was on her knees. She pushed a button of her watch on her left wrist, stoping the combat robot. Akane, slowly stood up while his gaze quickly checked her, if there were any injuries or such. She snorted, analyzing his look.

‘’ I am not a piece of glass, Kogami-san.’’

‘’Oh I am well aware of that,’’ He narrowed his eyes but now was more relaxed not seeing any visible injuries. ‘’just fine.’’

Kogami was next to a bench near the tatami she and her robot were on. He threw his backpack as if it was a piece of cloth. Bag fell into the floor after crushing the wood but he didnt care and sat on the bench.

He once again checked her from head to top. She was wearing a cotton pink tights and short sleeved t-shirt, some places were darker from the sweat of her efforts before his arrival. Her leg muscles were making their appearance through the thin fabric. When he saw her bending forward his eyes found hers.

“Is there something on my face, Kogami-san?” She said with a subtle grin on her lips. Kogami shrugged as she grabbed the water bottle just over the tatami, gulping down one or two sips. Kogami, leaned back putting his hands next to his body. He gestured the combat robot with a swing of his chin.

“What about it?”

Akane pulled the bottle from her lips, following his gesture. She cleared her throat before speaking.

“Oh, its just a hologram. You know to get better experince for the field.“ She walked towards the robot, which was designed as Kogami’s body with gym clothes, and tapped the head of the robot making a metalic clank sound . Kogami gave her a coy smile.

“I know its just a hologram. But why me?”

Akane didnt answered as quickly as she wanted. She sighed and combed her short damp hair with her fingers. “It keeps me on focus.” After her short sentence she touched to her watch again to make the hologram disappear. Now it was a plain robot standing in front of her.

“You mean, i keep you on focus?” Kogami continued on his flirty attitude to draw her in the corner. But the Akane he knew, the innocent girl who would blush about anything, was now nowhere to be seen. Instead Akane turned to him with a faint smile and answered honestly. “Yes. Yes you do.”

Kogami, a bit unready for this serious expression, stood up slowly on his legs. He reached to zip of his hoodie, pulling it down while he responded. “You could have said it earlier.”

He stepped on the tatami with his bare feet now his hoodie on his hand. He threw the hoodie like his bag to the bench earlier and turned right to face her fully.

Akane’s gaze wondered over him. He was wearing a black short sleeved t-shirt wrapping around his quite visible biceps, a grey sport pants a bit tight on his thighs. Her eye stopped a bit longer on his torso though. His cheeky voice guided her honey colored eyes to his own grey clouded ones. “One word and you could get the real one here. Also, i have the voice upgrade as well comparing to that mute useless metal garbage.”

Akane, not being able to contain her giggle, hide her lips behind her hand. “ Kogami-san, those combat robots are really useful.”

Kogami raised one of his eyebrows. “ You say so? I can crack open three of them, lets say, under 30 seconds.”

Now it was Akane’s turn to raise an eyebrow. “You say?”

Kogami, put his hands on his waist, leaning on his left leg. “Are you doubting me, Inspector?”

“Ex-Inspector.” She corrected him with that subtle smile again. Kogami wanted to face palm himself but he held back. Akane sipped one more time from her bottle only to throw it next to the bench Kogami’s stuff were. She turned to face him.

“Are you offering me a match, now, Kogami-san?”

Kogami shrugged, moving a bit closer to her. Now he was in front of her, half an arm lenght away. He could see the sweat drops on her neck slowly sliding down to her chest. He fixed his eyes on hers. “If it is what you desire.”

Akane, secretly gulped down, to drown the weird feelings came to her chest. The wild gaze of his grey shiny irises gave shivers to the back of her neck. She muffled an “idiot” beneath her breathe, making sure he didnt hear it. She was successful.

Akane turned to her left, opening her feet about a shoulder gap, taking her defensive standing. “So you want a rematch, if i remember correctly, i was the one who won over our small encounter years ago.”

As he also stood yet a bit bended forward, legs opened, hands in fists, Kogami looked at her. “ What? You didnt win that one-“

She is fast.

Before finishing his sentence about the fight they had years ago, in that abandoned building seconds before an explosion he protected her from, she attacked him gliding on the tatami.

She was a petite woman but as the years passed she learnt to use this to her advantage. She always knew her opponents wont be in her league mostly. So she trained herself with bigger and heavier rivals everytime.

Akane lowered herself more on her knees, dashed to his left side, to his less defensed part. Or she thought.

Akane caught Kogami with her well balanced level change and speed. She threw a punch to under his left arm directly into his chest. Her fist brushed over his shirt as Kogami also slided on the tatami to the front, blocking her attack. Akane without even taking a breath, she turned around her right leg to give a high kick to her opponent.

Kogami saw Akane’s leg before hitting his face. He swayed a bit on his legs, shaked himself to gain the balance and the sight back.

But Akane wasnt planning to give him the chance.

As soon as her left leg touched the ground, she attacked forward again. Her right punch blocked with his left hand, her left with his right. He was now full focused. He leaned a bit forward, still blocking her forceful fists with his forearms. “You could have been a bit kinder towards me. This will leave a bruise, i dont have a metalic face.”

Akane chuckled for a second, looking at his cheek already getting red. She stayed silent, grabbed his left wrist with her left hand pulled him towards herself and twisted his palm to ceiling, her right hand was also pushing his elbow downwards. This made Kogami grunt, as he was facing the floor on his half bending knees now.

Very well, she wanted this.

He threw his body forward into a tumble to release himself from her grabbing. He saved his aching arm from her ,now was behind her. As she was turning to her back, he grabbed her opened arm quicker than before. He raised it upwards, rising on his left knee to create a room for his right leg to kick the back of hers. His heavy leg found its target, making her to fall on her back. Still holding her left arm Kogami stood up. He gently twirled her palm to an unnatural state.

She grunted with pain and had to turn facedown on the tatami, to not get her shoulder dislocated. Kogami, standing over her, took a short breath before releasing her from his grip.

“You improved yourself fairly, Tsunemori.” he complimented her. And he was serious about every word. He knew she could fight and protect herself, but feeling it directly made a difference. Nothing came from her as a response so Kogami got worried if he went hard on her too much.

“Tsune- ugh?!”

To his confusion, Akane rolled over to her right side, mirroring his attack, she kicked him behind his knees. When his body lowered to ground she grabbed his left arm, raised her torso lifting up her waist and legs. She instantly caged his neck and head between her calfs, locking her feet with a twist. Kogami with a thud fell on the floor, eyes widened with shock. Akane hugged to his left arm, now he was in her steel like leg lock.

She arched her back, making the grip tighter. Kogami, growled in his chest, he grabbed her ankles with his free hand tried to open the lock. But it was, no wonder , in vain.

Before his vision got dark, he hit the tatami floor a few times, declaring his defeat.

Akane grunted as she losen up her grip around him. She pulled her legs back to herself, still layed down next to him trying to recover her breathing.

Seconds of silence past. Until both of them started giggling at the same time.

“ 30 seconds you were saying?”scorned him.

“ I might have been underestimated you a bit.” said Kogami now leaning on his arm, looking at her from up.

Akane turned her head to left to encounter with his soft gaze. “Biggest mistake of yours, i assume.”

Kogami, snorted looking at the ceiling as if praying to god. “ Thats for sure. Should i start counting the times you sent me to hospital room, Tsunemori?”

A rush of blood went to Akane’s cheeks. “ You were not obeying to my orders that time Kogami-san! I apologized a lot.” She stood up on both of her elbows, now same level with his face. Seeing a cheeky yet quite relaxed expression of him caught her off of guard.

“Yeah, you did apologize a lot. Should have been me who did all of it though.” His right hand reached over, slightly brushing away the hair that was hiding her eyes. With the sudden move, Akane held her breath for a time she felt like a year. Not changing his caring expression a couple more seconds, he watched her face in a dreamy look, just before standing up.

He placed his hands on the floor, taking a boost from it, stood up. He hold out his hand to her. Akane, grabbed his hand, realizing the size difference between them once more. Her cheeks got a bit more pinkier.

“You can kick a full grown-ass man from floor to floor, but a small act of chivalry makes you blush.” He chuckled with his hoarse voice. “ You are one of a kind, Akane Tsunemori.”

Akane, not knowing if she should pull her hand back, shrugged. “ Well, at least, i am the first statutory enforcer in the history.”

This stole a full laughter from his lips.

“ I didnt mean about that specific kind.” His smile reached to his eyes. Akane gave him an equal smile, as bright as the stars.

“So, what are we getting tonight?” She realized neither he or she released each other from their hand hold.

“Hmm, what are you in the mood for?” He asked walking together with her to the bench.

“Noodles!”

Kogami, smirked while grabbing his stuff with his free hand. His fingers entwined with her delicate ones.

“Noodles, it is.”

Summary: You go hiking on the mountain with your friends when suddenly you drift from the rest of the group. Desperately searching for them you stumble upon a handsome tall guy who was more than willing to help you out. What could go wrong, right?

★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★

You were currently desperately trying to find your friends in the thick forest. It was getting darker and you were getting more and more anxious. Earlier that day you and your friends had decided to go outside of the camping area and hike on the mountain.

"Come on Y/n we are not even going to go that high!" Elenor had exclaimed.

"Yes! Come one Y/n even Minho agreed! We promise we're gonna be back before sunset!" Felix had also exclaimed.

You couldn't help but follow your friends.

But you didnt expect for the forest to be so thick and hard to get around.

At some point the four of you accidentally split up when you thought you found the way out and drifted from the group.

You had no idea where they were or their condition at the moment. You had tried calling their phones multiple times but it was no use— the signal was horrible.

As you were walking you suddenly heard a bush rustling nearby and you slightly jumped at the sudden sound.

"Elenor?" You called out. "Felix?" Again no answer. Suddenly a figure appeared and it seemed like it was a male and a quite tall one at that. "Minho? Is that you?" You asked squinting your eyes and taking a single step forward before the figure walked towards you so fast that you quickly stepped back startled.

He then stood right in front of you, only a single step away, and he looked right into your eyes. He was intimidating to say the least. He was very handsome though.

His lips were plump and looked very red and kissable and he had this beautiful mole under his eye.

"I can help you find your friends. But you need to trust me and come with me." He said as he looked at you and raised a single eyebrow.

"What the fuck!? You must be out of your mind! I'm not 12 I know better than trust strangers." You said to him turning to leave but you felt a cold hand around your wrist and you gasped as you turned to look at him.

"I'm Hyunjin. You can trust me I promise." He said and his eyes were as if they were locked with yours. You couldnt tear your gaze away, as if he was hypnotizing you.

"Besides its getting dark and you're just going to get lost deeper into the forest. We dont want any wolf getting to you before your friends now do we?" He asked as he raised that same eyebrow in a cocky manner and you gulped.

"My house isnt far from here and I have a team of people who can go find your friends without any problem." He said as he let go of your wrist taking a step back.

"So what is it gonna be?" He asked as he stretched a hand towards your direction to take.

You sighed loudly as you looked away from him for a moment contemplating your decision.

"My name is Y/n.." you said as you put your hand into his larger one and he smiled before you both started your way to his house.

It had been some time since you arrived at his house and what he didn't specify was the fact that it wasnt a simple home but a freaking mansion that seemed as if it was from the 1850s. It had a beautiful exterior and an equally beautiful interior. He immediately introduced you to his "team of people" who you found out were hunters and usually hunted for meat once a few days so they knew the forest better than the back of their palms.

He then proceeded to give you a guest room to stay in and showed you the bathroom so you could take a shower and get rid of all the sweat and dirt on you.

After you were done with cleaning yourself you got dressed in some clothes you had in your backpack which were a pair of mid-thigh long shorts and a simple white tshirt which were the clothes you planned on wearing to sleep whenever you'd be back at the campsite.

As you were strolling around the top floor of the mansion you caught a glimpse of Hyunjin in his own room and he was changing out of his clothes. You knew you needed to get out of there and stop starring for gods sake but the moment you saw his arms flexing as he took off his white undershirt and revealed his abs you were stuck. You physically couldnt look away from the beautiful curves of his chiseled abdomen. He was godly gorgeous.

You felt your core clench around thin air as you just imagined his deadly sexy body over your own doing some very ungodly things.

"I know you're watching.." He said loudly so you could hear and you gasped. "This is your chance to leave.. if you stay..." He said turning his head and looking right into your eyes, "well.. you're gonna find out just how I treat people like you.." he said grabbing his belt and undoing it.

You were frozen in place not knowing what to do. You were so turned on and you hadn't had a good fuck in quite some time.

"Times up sweetie... come in or leave.. now." He ordered and you hesitated slightly before entering. He smirked and you saw... sharp teeth? What?

"You know... there's something that I didnt tell you before but you need to know if we are going to do this.." he said as he moved closer to you and you slightly cowered in fear. What was going on?!

He smirked at you and you caught glimpse of his sharp teeth once again.

He grabbed your shoulders and pinned you against the wall and a gasp escaped your parted lips.

"You know I'm not what I seem to be.. " he said as he showed you his teeth completely and you gasped again as you felt heat pool into your panties.

"O-oh..." was all you could manage to let out.

Suddenly he sniffed the air and his eyes grew wide as his pupils diluted.

"Did.... did you just get wet?" He asked as he looked from your slightly squirming thighs to your eyes.

You bit your lip as you shyly nodded.

"T-this is just s-so hot.." You let out barely louder than a whisper and he looked at you a bit shocked but also seemingly turned on.

"You know most girls screamed and ran.." He said and you smirked at him as you snaked your hands at the back of his neck pulling him closer— a sudden wave of confidence rushing over you.

"Well... I'm not like other girls.." You said in a breathy whisper as you moved closer to his lips.

"So what do you say Hyunjin... are you gonna show me what your vampire cock can do?" (I'm so sorry I cringed too)

You said against his lips as you placed a hand over his clothes member rubbing it through the fabric softly and his breath hitched in his throat.

"Hhmm.. You know this side of you is pretty fucking hot but I think you should be reminded who is the one in charge here." He said as he grabbed both of your hands and pinned them above your head.

He locked your lips together in a heated kiss as one of his hands travelled down your neck and to your chest, cupping one breast and massaging it through your clothes.

His moves were quick with undressing your body and you helped him get rid of his pants as it was the only piece of clothing in his body along with his boxers.

He pulled away from your lips to look at you and he groaned at the sight.

"I can't wait to devour this gorgeous body of yours baby." He said as he pushed you against the wall once again and kissed all over your neck until he found your sweet spot.

By the time he found your special spot you were a mess and suddenly you felt something sharp grazing your sensitive skin and you gasped.

"Can I?" He asked and you looked down at him gulping and nodding without a second thought.

He smiled widely and placed his fangs on your neck right on top of your sweet spot and at the same time moved his hand inside your panties –which was the only piece of clothing left on your body. The moment his fangs sunk in your flesh he started drawing circles on your clit to try and help you focus on something else than the pain. That in return made you let out a mix between a yelp and a moan and he groaned into your neck while sucking your blood.

"Fuck that was so hot.." He mumbled in your neck as he continued to devour you and finger you at the same time.

Even though the feeling of your blood leaving your body was weird and uncomfortable his fingers were so skilled that he did a great job with distracting you from it.

"H-Hyunjin~" You moaned and he hummed into your neck.

"Its t-too much.." You choked out as you started feeling dizzy. He quickly pulled away a bit of crimson running down his chin and onto his exposed chest.

"I'm sorry love, you tasted way too sweet.. I couldnt resist you." He said as he licked his cherry lips, his fingers not losing their steady pace for a second.

"H-Hyunjin, I-I need y-you~" You moaned out once again and he smirked wider looking into your hooded eyes.

"I know baby, I can feel it in your pants." He said and a shiver ran down your spine and your knees buckled but he was quick to catch you and pull you closer into his chest as he continued to work wonders inside your panties.

You were a moaning mess in his embrace and you griped his shoulders tightly as your nails dug into his flesh leaving angry red marks on his pale skin.

"You know I would love to see you cumming from just my fingers but I really cant wait to have my cock ruining you instead." He said as he pulled out his hand and quickly pulled you to the bed pushing you on the soft mattress and silky sheets.

He was quick to rid you of your undergarments discarding the piece of clothing somehwere on the bedroom's floor along with the rest of your clothes.

He quickly took off his own boxers and hissed when his member was finally let free from the tight restraints of his boxers. You gulped at the size of his cock you eyed it up and down. It was large, the girth seemed a bit too much to handle and his tip was an angry red and oozing with precum. You licked your lips as you lied back and spread your legs for him. He chuckled darkly.

"Angel, so good for me..." He said as he stroked your cheek with the back of his hand and his dark eyes were licked with your own hooded ones.

He grabbed his member in his hand and positioned it in front of your entrance slightly teasing it and getting your arousal all over his rock hard cock.

He slowly and steadily entered you bottoming you out. You sighed at the feeling of being stuffed to the brim and gripped his biceps tightly.

"P-please move.." You begged and he raised an eyebrow.

"Hmmm.. you're such a slut for my cock aren't you?" He asked and you gulped as heat rose to your cheeks and ears turning them into a bright red color. "So impatient.. I'm afraid that if you dont take what I give you you might not take anything at all sweetheart." He said and you gasped at that.

"N-no! You cant do this! I need you right now! Please move!" You begged as you thrusted your hips to get some sort of friction going on.

"Uh oh. Someone's being bad~" He mocked as he gripped tightly onto your hips pinning them down on the bed. He looked down at you with a sickly arrogant smirk on his face–he was enjoying this way too much.

"You know bad girls get punished.." He trailed off to see your reaction and decide whether to proceed or not.

"Go ahead master, do whatever you please with me. Tie me up, blindfold me, spank me do whatever you want but please move!" You choked out begging and he groaned at the thought of your ass up in the air, a bright red color and his handprint decorating it. He quickly pulled out and you were about to beg again thinking you did something wrong.

"Turn over, all fours." He instructed and you quickly obeyed.

He slid back inside you once again and both of you sighed in pleasure as the new angle gave you a whole new type of depth to explore.

He rubbed on your ass cheek lightly before landing a hard slap on it and you moaned at the pain mixed with pleasure wrecking your entire body. He slowly started moving finding a steady pace that had your thighs shaking from the pleasure.

"Do you like that angel?" He asked landing another harsh slap on your ass and you moaned. "Do you like being treated like the cockskut you are?" He asked and you moaned a breathy yes in response.

He licked up his pace and you couldnt hold yourself up anymore as the pleasure you were receiving was too much to handle for you so you rested your upper half on the mattress, this giving him an even better angle to fuck you even deeper.

"Hmm~ Such a good little slut knowing how to help me make her feel good.." He said as he spanked you once again.

Suddenly a particular thrust had you seeing stars as he hit your g-spot.

"Oh my gosh Hyunjin do that again! Right there!" You moaned out and he complied as he started hitting your g-spot over and over again.

"Ngh~ H-Hyunjin I-I'm gonna c-cum~" You moaned out a warning and in return, he smacked your ass once again.

"Rub your clit for me angel." He instructed and you did as told and suddenly you were coming without warning.

Moaning his name out loud over and over again and clenching around his cock, Hyunjin didnt last much longer, pulling out and releasing his seed all over your back and ass.

Suddenly the door opened and before neither of you could react—

"Y/n are you in her— What the actual fuck?!" Someone yelled and you gasped quickly turning around to look at the doorway.

"Minho?!"

Let me know if yall wanna see a part two with Minho and Felix getting involved ;)

Brooo!!! Tell me more about character design!!!

TYSM FO. R SENDIGN THIS BUBBY <3

ok so. i will tlak ab my science team bcs hyperfixation <3 they range from human passing to so very nonhuman but none of them are really human ! this is going under a cut because it is so very long

darnold is most human , he looks p mcuh normal but he consumes things that should absolutely kill him VXBSB.. hes around 5′7 , i draw him w a square-ish shape language bcs hes intelligent and relatively sensible but round corners cause hes v kind !! i hc he enjoys old-timey fashion so i give him a bowtie & suspenders under his labcoat ! he also gets dimples bc cute. 

gordon is p human at first glance but if u look closer he has slightly pointed ears and his canines are a little longer than average. he also has retractable claws like a cat , benreys like wtf didnt you say it was weird that i had claws ? and hes like nah its weird you cant retract them. also its barely noticeable but gordons hair moves veery slightly when hes emotional becayse heehoo. hes around 5′9 and has a relatively wide rectangle silhouette bcs hes hard-working and trustworthy ! post-game he mostly wears comfortable casual clothes like sweaters and knee-lenght shorts. dresses like a dad :^)

coomer mostly looks like a regular friendly old guy , but he has a buncha cybernetics hidden under his clothing bcs of course he does ! the extendo-arms are visibly metallic but his leg enhancements are mostly internal. hes 5′4 and has a v much circular silhouette ! friend-shaped !! he wears kind grandpa clothes.. shorts , hawaiian shirts , vests etc ! and yes he wears crocs <3

forzen is also pretty human-passing in terms of appearence , though he Can and occasionally Does subtly shapeshift.. and she also consumes things that would be so deadly to humans. like motor oil and rocks :) hes seemingly immune to bullets and has fangs but only sometimes. shes 6ft tall and her shape is p much square ! he wears an outfit v similar to his military uniform bc everyone was like dude get some new clothes wtf. so she was like FINE *buys near-identical red beret , fishing vest , huge backpack , camo pants and boots*

tommy.... WAY too tall 2 be human. hes 7′8. taller than gman. his silhouette is very tall thin oval :) round edges again bcs hes kind ! hes lanky but a lot physically stronger than he looks. he also consumes inedible things like computer keyboards. he has fangs , his eyes glow in the dark and he can use sweetvoice to a basic extent ! he also wears suspenders and bowties along w comfy baggy clothes like sweaters & chunky sneakers or crocs ! he also wears a lot of chew jewellery and he loves patterned socks :) he also uses a cane because being SO fucking tall isnt v easy on yr joints ! he uses crutches on worse days.

bubby is. also very tall but nowhere near tommy. hes 6′5 ! he has noticeably very pale skin & neat rows of pointy teeth (altho some are probably chipped). they also have almost-clawed fingers , v pointy shape language with a tall thin rectangular kinda silhouette. theyr not v physically strong most of the time so theyre pretty scrawny. his strength works on cartoon logic tho so he can be strong sometimes if it makes the situation funnier hebfhebr.. in-game he wears p much exactly the scientist uniform w no added stuff , but post-game hes like oh shit ! i casn do what i want now !! and goes out and buys a shitload of leather jackets and chunky shoes and gets so many piercings. awesome. the piercings & studs on their clothes also add pointiness to his design :^) oh and ! they use crutches because spending most of your life suspended in goo isnt very good for your muscles .

gman ! 7′5 so also inhumanly tall. he has pale greyish skin and is pretty clearly not human , he also has fangs & his eyes glow perpetually he Cannot Turn That Off. he doesnt necessarily eat inedible stuff but he has uncharacteristic reactions to foods , like alcohol doesny affect him at all but he drinks a pint of sparkling water and wakes up in a hollowed out tree stump in the woods at 4am 2 miles from his house. he can also teleport , make himself invisible for a limited time , levitate , and shapeshift ! he has a tall thin rectangular silhouette similar to bubby , but a little wider bcs hes more imposing & strong. when hes not in one of his 50 identical suits , he wears dad clothes also; hawaiian shirts & shorts and of course... socks & sandals.

finally benrey ! he4s so small. simply small as fuck. hes generally around 4′4 , but he doesnt really have a consistent height bcs hes constantly shapeshifting because he can. they also shift their weight occasionally and their hairstyle is never consistent at all. they have pale greyish skin , the face shadow ofc is permanent as are their eyebags , and he also just . doesnt have a nose. he can smell he just doesnt have one. probably has no ears either. he has a round silhouette but sharp uneven teeth & generally p messy hair , cause hes unassuming and laid back but Can fuck u up if he wants to. which generally they dont bcs they dont actually like being in physical conflict much at all. they use a wheelchair post-canon bcs dying does that to u <3 he doesnt mind tho , he and tommy deck it the fuck OUT w stickers. he wears casual clothes like hoodies and sweatpants ,  and has a seemingly endless hat collection... chullos , helmets , ball caps , beanies , you name it ! i usually draw them with a specific hat based on the situation , like im doing an animatic of the callmecarson spelling bee and benrey has a ball cap that says “im a keeper” with a pic of a bee on it. awesome

OK THATS LIKE ALL I HAVE tysm for letting me infodump BSKJKD... if u read all of this im proud of u <3

sapphires are a girls worst enemy ryan sitkowski x reader

+++++++++ Request from @ryansitkowskiswifey : "Can I request a Ryan Imagine? Maybe being jealous over him being around women?"

this was kind of vague and i just did the chris one like this so i changed a little bit but i hope its still good. i also wanted it to be the opposite of "diamonds are a girls best friends" by marilyn monroe because thats sort of what this idea sparked. hopefully its not too far off and i hope you enjoy!

"damn, where you going dressed like that?"

i said gawking at ryan in his pressed suit. he looked at me confused as he pushed his cuff links into the sleeves.

"why arent you ready?"

he asked and i raised a brow.

"ready for what?"

"what do you mean ready for what? get up, come on or we'll be late."

he pulled me off the couch and pushed me down the hall to our bedroom, there laying on the bed was a deep blue cocktail dress.

"wait, ryan, seriously, what is this for?"

he looked confused again.

"didnt i tell you the party was tonight?"

i raised a brow and shook my head no.

"absolutely not, im pretty sure i wouldve remembered a party invite."

he thought for a second, one hand on his hip and the other scratching at his beard.

"i could have swore i told you. but whatever, you need to hurry up and get dressed or we're gonna be late."

he handed me the dress before leaving the room so i could get ready. i looked over it before quickly going to the bathroom and doing my makeup. when it was done i slipped on the dress and curled my hair, pinning it back and spraying it with hairspray. i sneezed, making myself laugh a little bit before waving my hand in the air to get rid of the fumes.

"bless you!"

i heard ryan call from our room. i opened the bathroom door and stepped out, taking a new pair of heels from him and slipping them on.

"where did you get all this stuff anyways?"

i said standing up straight and taking his hand.

"from a friend. he said we had better look nice for this party or dont come at all, so he came in clutch."

i nodded as we walked out to the car.

"right."

i said as he started it, taking my hand in his again and pulling out of the driveway.

---

when we got the party i was a bit surprised. id never been to something like this before, a valet helped me out of the car, offering me over to ryan as he handed him the keys. he pulled me to the door, flashing his invitation to the man at the door and granting us access to the large hotel lobby. we walked in slowly, being immediately met with lots of people standing around, drinking alcohol out of crystal glasses and swaying lightly to the overhead music as they chatted amongst themselves.

"ryan what the hell is this?"

i asked, him tightening his grip on my hand.

"its a party y/n, look we just need to be seen by the host and then we can go."

i shook my head, drawing my brows together.

"we just got here and you wanna leave already?"

he looked at me confused.

"you wanna stay?"

i shrugged as we walked across the room to the bar.

"how often do we get to go out like this? im wearing designer for fucks sake."

i got a few nasty looks from people we walked past at my choice of language.

"fine we can stay for a bit but you gotta be cool."

i raised a brow at him as he asked the bar tender for two drinks.

"me, not be cool? unheard of."

he laughed a little at me as he handed me one of the glasses.

"right."

i shook my head and took a drink.

"im cool. sometimes."

"sure."

he touched my arm lightly.

"hey, im gonna go find the bathroom, dont go anywhere."

i nodded, watching him walk away from me quickly. i sat at the bar, sipping my cocktail and people watching.

"and whats a beautiful young thing like yourself doing here all alone?"

i heard as a tall, serious looking man walking up to me, ordering a drink for himself.

"oh uh, im not alone, my boyfriend just went to do something."

he nodded.

"boyfriend, he must be the one i invited cause im sure i wouldve remembered a creature such as yourself on the guest list."

i laughed a little but to myself, feeling a little guilty at the blush creeping to my face.

"yeah, his name is ryan-"

he snapped and pointed at me.

"sitkowksi's plus one! of course! he did say you were an eye-full."

i smiled at the thought of him complimenting me as such to someone else.

"thats sweet of you to say."

he gently touched my hand, leaning further into the bar.

"well it is true, he also said you look best in sapphire, and looking at the dress i sent him id say he chose well."

i slid my hand slowly away from him, taking a sip of my own drink.

"thank you kindly, i was a bit surprised at his choice of outfit but am thankful for it nonetheless. it really is beautiful."

he reached forward to push my chin up, making me pull away form him, my gaze darting across the room. i saw ryan, talking to a small group of girls.

"just as beautiful as you sweetheart."

i was starting to get uncomfortable. and watching ryan from across the room made me uneasy, not only was he not with me to stop this mans relentless flirting he was starting to get touched by the girls talking to him. i watched as they giggled to themselves, the three women touching his arms and chest as they flirted with him. i was a bit frustrated to be honest. i tapped the bar lightly, looking back to the host.

"right, um, if youll excuse me."

he grabbed my arm as i stood off my bar stool.

"going so soon princess?"

i looked down at his hand before looking up at him sternly.

"wouldnt want to ruin this pretty dress."

i said harshly, pulling my arm away from his. he looked a little disgusted at what i was insinuating.

"of course."

i nodded before walking off in ryans direction. i was fuming now, how dare he try to take advantage of me like that, even knowing i had a boyfriend. and not only that but those women were still flirting with ryan. i walked up to the them and ryan looked down at me with pleading eyes.

"hes taken."

i said rather aggressively, grabbing his hand and pulling him away from them.

"and we're leaving."

i started pulling him towards the front door.

"wait, babe? i thought you said you wanted to stay. i didnt even get to talk to-"

"i did, hes a gem, lets go."

he stopped, spinning me around to face him.

"wait, is this cause of those girls? they were just asking about the band."

i scoffed at him.

"yes, the girls, of course."

i rolled my eyes at him.

"then what?"

"your generous host was trying to get in my pants,"

i poked his chest.

"knowing i was taken!"

he drew his brows together.

"really?"

i crossed my arms over my chest.

"the girls were just the tipping point. i was trapped at the bar alone with creeper-mcgee and you were over there flirting with the gaggle of idiots."

i looked down at the ground trying to not let my anger turn to tears. he ran his hand gently down my arm.

"im sorry y/n, i didnt mean to make you feel that way. if you really are uncomfortable we can leave."

i nodded, stepping into him and wrapping him in a hug.

"going so soon?"

i heard his voice again, the host. i tensed my body before looking up, not letting ryan go.

"uh yeah Gio, sorry, we would love to stay longer but y/n's sick."

he lied, looking down at me and rubbing my back reassuringly.  the man reached forward, moving to touch me face but ryan caught his hand.

"ill have the dress dry cleaned and sent back to your office."

he said, looking deeply at Gio. the man just looked over me.

"dont worry about it. A creature like this deserves to own nice things, she should keep it. after all, she does look stunning in sapphire."

i wanted to vomit.

"how kind."

ryan said annoyed, letting go of his hand.

"hopefully ill be seeing you again young thing. and i hope you feel better, if theres anything i can do dont hesitate to ask."

i nodded.

"thanks but at the moment id just like to lie down."

he bowed forward.

"then i wish you both a safe trip home."

i watched in horror as the three women who had been flirting with ryan flocked to Gio, hugging to him like leeches. maybe he was trying to break us up but who knows.

"thanks."

ryan said, unwrapping my arms from his torso and taking my hand in his.

"ill be in touch."

gio said as we turned to leave, walking out the door that was being held and going straight to the valet.

"i never wanna go back."

i said quietly to ryan and he nodded, kissing my forehead.

"and we never have to."

he said taking the keys from the valet as they pulled up. he held the door for me.

"id also like to get out of this designer death trap."

i said, desperate. he looked down at me, disappointment written on his face from the events of the night.

"Walmart and McDonald it is."

i smiled up at him.

"thanks baby."

he closed the door and i watched him intently as he jogged around the car, sliding into the driver side and taking my hand.

"comfort here we come."

Next up is Bear Juan!

So this one is interesting for many reasons: Firstly, I get to look up what bear pride is. Secondly, I did not know anyone cared about this character. And thirdly, I get the challenge of drawing a murder victim. All of this will be elaborated shortly.

For those who don’t read all of blabbing, look forward to Lesbian!Maya on Sunday!…. A lesbian for fathers day… why not!

Normally I would write this bit right after I finish the Image ten add it to queue/drafts till I’m ready to post it. For this one I did it because I finished it late at night. Why? Because I managed to make this one in one day! I mean it took ALL day but I’m still proud since a) the others took around 3 days (I did work my job however) and b) I managed to make up the time I lost with Sebastian’s jacket that took way to long (since then I lost ALL of the time I saved but more on that next time). Well technically this took 2 days since I spent an entire day just planning his outfit but more on that later.

Now before we get to the nitty gritty I’m sure a lot of you are wondering the same thing : what on earth is bear pride? Well normally I don’t bother explaining the flags I’m using and what they mean, and honestly I really should. A lot of people didnt know what asexual was on the Edgeworth drawing and I’m fairly sure I didn’t even use the word, just the nickname “ace”. Soooo that’s my bad. Not everyone looked this up like I did when doing some soul searching so allow me to educate on this one! As far as my research goes bear pride is a subculture of gay pride for the love of burly men. You know hie gay men have the stereotype of being “feminine” whelp bear pride will have none of that. They are manly men who love other manly men! Kinda like the opposite of lipstick lesbian (more on that next time with Maya). So why bears? Well what’s more manly then a bear? Now I get the SLIGHTEST feeling that the person who requested thisbon  AA Amino requested it for the fact that Juan is known for bears (still embarrassed I didn’t pick up on that right away) buuuuuut I don’t know you or your life, nor do I really know Juan or his life. Either or I also couldn’t help making him a literal teddy bear just for the mental image.

Everybody on the same page now? Yes? Good! Let’s move on to the flag then! So this flag is a lot of neutrals and a lot if warm colours so in theory, while it does have one more colour ten the gay flag (and as we all recall THAT was a challange), these colours should all mix well. Because of this it was tempting to put ihim in a kinda manly lumberjack look (again canadian-ness bleeding out) but I juuuust did that with Phoenix and I didn’t want to be redundant. That being said, as soon as I saw that brown my brain went straight to leather jacket. So that’s what I googled until I found the right one. Easy peasy! It’s nice when a plan comes together! Also added a bear paw patch just for fun. Ok so, so far we have brown jacket, black pants, grey belt and in theory i could put white anywhere so that leaves us with yellow, cream and orange to fit somewhere. I’m fairly sure this part took the longest because I do NOT work with orange or yellow a lot nor do I wear them. I started looking into the bull fighter look because that’s the pun in his name but nothing really caught my eye that I could put under a leather jacket. I didn’t want to cheat and just look up “yellow pattern shirts” buuuuut I did. (Spoiler alert : I hate to admit it but I had to do that for the next project too). My feeling on the shirt I picked go up and down, I loved it when I picked it, liked it less when I out it under a jacket, now I like it more the more I look at it. *shrugs*. The only colour left to implement was the cream and conveniently enough Juan has a scarf in his design so BOOM, cream coloured scarf.

As for the pose… I had no clue. None. Zip. I’m trying to do a different pose for every one and this guy I was creatively bankrupt… then again maybe that’s what I get for limiting myself to just having characters stand around like morons. My solution to this was looking up “celebrity poses” and finding a man that isn’t removing his clothes and replicated it (sorry guys).

I was sure that I would have issues drawing this guy for one reason : he’s a murder victim. What does that mean? It means their are a very limited resources on him because he isn’t really given the oportunity to live. Victims in these games make victims essentially dead on arrival, made to be killed. At their conception is their death. Because of this thery’re really don’t NEED a lot of art on these guys. Especially THIS guy since he’s known for being in costume. The only images available are his mugshot, crime scene photos (in costume) and flashbacks. Now in theory I could use the anime but that has a different issue, being I promised my bro that we’d watch it together when it’s availiable in English but we can’t do that until he finishes the second game but we’re on Adrian’s first testimony and he’s frustrated because he doesn’t voice act the girls and he has school so we have been waiting for TWO MONTHS for him to finish school so we can marathon it and……. … … the point is I didn’t use the anime. The good news is I didn’t need too! I don’t know why I didn’t have trouble with his face but I didn’t. Oh well, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say.

… well I guess that’s it! Next time I’ll write this ahead if time and not on the fly. … BYE!

♥️ MY BTS WINGS TOUR IN ANAHEIM EXPERIENCE (04/01/2017) ♥️

SNEAK PEAK: The chaos in the morning for the official line to get the numbered wristbands. Soundcheck. Eye contact with Jungkook, Jimin and J-hope. BTS solos. CYPHER!!! Getting baptized by the holy J-hope. Throwing the two Mickey ears on the stage and making one of the most iconic SOPE moments in the history happen.

Enjoy~ :,)

OKAY so, I arrived there at 6:30am because I had P1 GA with soundcheck and there was already a line outside the venue with a security guard In front. At 7:45~7:50am (as soon as the security sent a go signal) EVERYBODY RAN!! I mean RAN!! It was absolutely insane and TERRIFYING!! The sound of foodsteps was so loud and the pushing was so bad that people literally fell and others just ran over them!! And this happened RIGHT in front of me! I was so scared and felt so sorry for those people! There were people falling head first, injuring their knees n legs literally drawing blood! I was just running and couldn’t see where because of the sun and I heard my friend calling out to me who was already in the line. She had to GRAB me so I wouldn’t get washed away by the TSUNAMI OF PEOPLE! Yes TSUNAMI!!! At this point I was terrified To death and thought “if this is just for the line how bad is it gonna be at the actual concert?!” And really wanted to trade for a Seated But I didn’t lol nobody with Seated wanted GA and that was completely understandable! Anyways, now we’re in the official line waiting To get our numbered wristbands (my number was 226) which wasn’t that bad. At the end of the day there were over a thousand people with GA Wristbands! Anyways, after the wristband there comes the merch line, again it was insane! In terms of length. I got sunburnt because of how Long I stood in that line under the sun! But thankfully I got my jungkook picket!! It’s huge!! At this time, it was around 1:45pm and they said the soundcheck people should line up starting at 2:45pm. I took this time to really hydrate myself since I heard people have fainted Because of dehydration. I drank 4 bottles of water! Lol 😂 but I mean I guess it helped cuz I didn’t faint. The security told the Soundcheck people to line up at 2:30 based on their numbers which was good and horrible at the same time. Their organization skills were 0!! After we lined up, they opened the doors and checked the bags and stuff and LET ME TELL U when they say the security is pretty strong..NOPE IT WAS NOT! THE SECURITY DIDNT EVEN OPEN MY BAG AND LET ME GO THROUGH!! Like wtf?? There was no picture/video allowed during the soundcheck. OH I FORGOT SOMETHING!! while we were behind the doors waiting for the security to tell us when to line up, WE COULD HEAR BTS PERFORMING INSIDE!! WE WERE LIKE shouldn’t we be in there?? Isn’t this the soundcheck we were supposed attend?? It was awful and sad af and we just chanted the lyrics from outside :,) one song I could clearly hear from outside was cypher and I was like :,,,,) I wanna be there! Okay now back to the Story: now were inside, all of soundcheck people had to stand on the left side of the runway towards the main stage. The view was great and people didn’t push at all!! They were standing still and everyone had enough space for themselves to breath and do whatever. We waited and waited until BTS came out!!! First was jimin! they were all in their sweat pants like they just came straight out from their dorm :,) No makeup no nothing AND JUNGKOOK WAS WEARING A CAP!! 😭 they all looked like college boys you see every day (BUT OF COURSE THEYRE MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL) jungkook looked much more slim than his pictures, idk if it was becuz of the loose clothing or what but he was slim. They all Kinda looked tired too. I held up the picket as soon as they walked in and Jimin came right in front of the stage where we were at AND JIMIN MADE AN EYE CONTACT WITH ME!!! When ppl say jimin stares at u when he makes eye contact THEYRE NOT LYING!! I screamed and jumped up an down so hard THEN came Yoongi! He was in all black and looked hot af! He waved at us shortly then went back to the middle of main stage And JHOOOOOOPE!! He’s literally a living sunshine!! He was so bubbly and smiley and greeted us with such energy and positivity all the pain In my body from the last 19 years went away :,) AND THEN JUNGKOOK OMG!!! When he stood in front of the stage where we were at, I held up the Picket so high AND HE SAW IT!!! HE MADE AN EYE CONTACT WITH ME AND NODDED SHAKEGSKAVDKA!!! My baby noticed me now I can die happily :,,) Jin was pretty attentive with fans too!! He made eye contact with as many people as he could and all Jin stans were living their lives!! Then Taehyung and Namjoon. They greeted us and started rehearsing. They only did three songs first was 21st century girl 2nd save me and I CANNOT REMEMBER THE THIRD ONE😭 (it might’ve been Am I Wrong) but we all did the fan chants and it was so loud and beautiful Tae was trying so hard to hold in his smile :,) It was good and then it was over… it wasn’t an hour or even half an hour :( it was around 10 mins and then they were gone 😭 Then we got out, waiting to get into the official line for the concert, we started at 5pm. THANKFULLY they really did go by the number policy and now everything was starting to feel a lot more organized so we all were happy lol. Fast forward to getting inside the venue again I really wanted to be in front of the extended stage but there were a lot of people there already so we ended up at the side of the extended. BUT the view was excellent!! We were in the second row and could see everything perfectly! Which was awesome~ when we were waiting for the show, a girl passed out three headbands (Mickey ears) to us and asked us to throw them on the stage at the end of the concert for them. I got the silver one, the one that was had Jungkook written on the ears and wore it on my head. The security told us that if we throw anything on the stage we will get kicked out, but I told the girl who gave us the headbands to not worry and I WILL throw it for them. It was gonna be at the end of the concer anyways and at that point nobody’s gonna listen anymore. […] its 7:55pm and we’re losing our shit!!! Only 5 more minutes!! They played Spring day mv and we all sang with it! It was beautiful :,) then was VCR AND THEN NOT TODAY!!!! LIT LIT LIT!!! So good!! Sooooo good!! Since it was on the main stage I had difficulty seeing them but it still was awesome!!! People really did the fan chants throughout the whole show Their solos were so nice, YOONGI’s SOLO MAN… it was beautiful! I get chills even thinking about it! I cried, really did cry Cuz I can really relate myself with that song and the experience he went through and just the feeling, the vibe of his performance was like Re-living that experience. It was beautiful. I was wiping my tears when jimin jk jin and tae came up on the extended stage for LOST!! I STARTED SCREAMING AND JUMPING WHILE MY FACE WAS STILL WET FROM THE TEARS!! Jimin came to our side and AGAIN MADE AN EYE CONTACT WITH ME!! LET ME TELL U!! JIMIN AND JHOPE MADE ALOT OF EYE CONTACTS WITH ME THROUGHOUT THE SHOW BUT JIMIN MAN… HE STARES AT U FOR A WHOLE 10 SECONDS! WHEN HE SAW ME I BLEW A KISS AT HIM LIKE JIN AND THEN HE LOOKED DOWN omg!! It was insanely good!! JUNGKOOK ON THE OTHER HAND… I HELD UP TWO JK FANS WITH A JK SLOGAN JUST TO GET A LILL EYE CONTACT WITH HIM THROUGHOUT THE SHOW BUT I GOT NONE!!! NOT EVEN A GLANCE IM SO SAD YALL, my arms were on fire for holding the slogan so high up for such a long time but NOPE!! He kept looking up at the Seated ppl :,,,,) I’m not sad (I’m dying inside) anywayyyyys Namjoon’s solo :,) ppl did the “WE LOVE YOU” and it was beautiful! Jin’s solo was STUNNING!!! And Jhope’s was….GODLY!!! He was smiley throughout his whole solo and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!! Omg I love him so much!! CYPHER YALL… C Y P H E R!!!! FINALLY I GOT BAPTIZED BY THE HOLY JHOPE!!! JHOPE BAPTIZED OUR SIDE AND YOONGI THE OTHER! I CANT BELIEVE I WAS PART OF IT OMG ITS UNREAL!! The whole show was fantastic but I was unable to record much SINCE I WAS BUSY TRYING MY ASS TO GET NOTICED BY JUNGKOOK 😒 but I recorded wings :,) fast forward the the end of the show when they were bowing to say goodbye and I took the chance! I removed the headband from my head and threw it on the stage!! I threw it so far but thankfully It didn’t fall. I was extremely careful when throwing it and making sure it didn’t hit any of them! Now, the headband I was wearing the whole show and threw it was the silver one and the girl gave me the other (black) To throw that as well WHICH ENDED UP ON SOPE’s HEADS!!!!!! JHOPE WORE THE HEADBAND THAT WAS ON MY HEAD THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SHOW!! CAN YALL HEAR ME SCREAMING??? AND YOONGI WORE THE BLACK ONE!! Out of all the plushies and stuffed animals on stage SOPE CHOSE THE HEADBANDS I THREW FOR THEM :,,,) IM TOUCHED!!! But the security did ask who it was and lol I played it cool like “did anyone really throw something on stage?? Smh” lmaooooooo BUT OMG THAT WAS AMAZING I FEEL BLESSED!! THANK YOU JHOPE THANK YOU SUGA!!! I love u guys so much!!! AND TO JUNGKOOK!!!! PLEASE DO LOOK DOWN SOMETIMES WHEN YOURE ON STAGE!!! THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE RIPPING HER ARM MUSCLES HOLDING UP UR SLOGAN JUST TO GET A QUICK GLANCE FROM U!! So please 🙏🏻 lol but all in all, it was an amazing experience and it still seems unreal to me! Now I’m really glad I didn’t trade for Seated cuz I was able to make one of the most iconic SOPE moments in history happen :,) Also, I feel weird asking this but, is it normal for someone to forget some of the songs they performed after the concert?? Becuz I literally can not remember I NEED U performance (which REALLY sucks since this song was one of my most favorite songs to see live!!) and BOY IN LUV and some of the other songs in their medley and that’s HELLA depressing :,) but thankfully I clearly remember all of their solos! I forgot to tell u this but JUNGKOOKS SOLO WAS COOL AF!!! The way they edited his performance and play/showed it in the background of him singing/dancing was so beautiful and epic! It was classy! And omfg don’t even get me started about JIMINS SOLO… I’m sure you all have already seen his lie performance so I’m gonna shut up now and leave lmao Thank you for reading my crazy experience and I hope and wish for those of you who haven’t seen them live to really get a chance and attend their concert!!! And don’t worry! You WILL see them live one day! Two years ago when I started liking BTS and was already head over heels for them, they had already announced their LA concert and it was too late for me to get a ticket and all the prices were so high I couldn’t afford it. I cried myself to sleep listening to Let Me Know while they were performing literally one hour away from me. But thankfully I did get a chance to see them at Kcon LA 2016 and their Wings Tour! So do not worry 😊 you all WILL get to see them one day! Hope u have a nice day ❤ BYE~!

i message K-dollasign

"i heard grandma M is here"

he replies "makes sense"

but intonates that he was not previously informed

i try to decode my father's message and K-dollasigns response

"makes sense"

he must be referring to Shutterbug's wedding

R: LOL

J: wait nuh man

R: lol

J: okay so i reach home, turn on my laptop

charge my phone

i frantically whatsapp my relatives

fb message uncle Macbook to get in touch w grandma

i try to search the internet for clues as to when this wedding will be

my sister says i should just ask Shutterbug if i can come

so i do that

uncle Macbook replies me with a different number to call, i call, get grandma

she says "no, no, no, you can't come to the wedding, the guests have already been counted and there's too many"

my heart sinks

i say, okay, well i can still see you today?

my cousin Carlton who wants to go to starbucks has arrived at my house

R: woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

J: i try to devise a plan with Carlton and grandma and my dad all talking at once to pick grandma up and she says something about not wanting to be stranded and i say we would never let that happen to her

the phone isn't working very well and at some point my father has the phone

i return to my whatsapp messages on the laptop and Shutterbug has replied!

"hey, we were overcapacity a few months ago, but there's some space now. if you can make it on sunday, please come"

i tell grandma what she said

"okay, but how are you getting there? and where are you going to stay?"

i had not thought of this second part

the wedding is in mobay

R: MUFUFUFUFU

on a beach

duh

just sleep on the beach and get dressed in someones room in the morrow

J: i quickly say "aunty Rose's"

and she has already said she's very busy today and the plan to see me nah work out

"see you in mobay then!"

okay bye grandma, i love you!

"i love you too sweetheart"

now i have to whatsapp aunty Rose and see if she will shelter me

and K-dollasign to see if i can drive with him

R: funny at points but not a bad day

J: Carlton still deh yah a try reach liguanea fi get some food

the story did not get resolved yet

lol

it wasnt a bad day just long af

R: wait what

J: let me try summarize

R: Well I mean, between Yanah's Healthy snack Crisis and the Wedding Snafu, I thought the day was sealed with you tryna get aunty Rose

J: I was also supposed to meet Pearl at starbucks for 3pm

when Carlton and i pull up to starbucks, Rose a walk up deh too

synchronicity

R: 'the hell? Starbucks is a spot now?

J: that's the culture of the company

im like baffled as to both my grandmother and father asking me if starbucks is an appropriate place to link and do work together

that's how they've been selling the place for at least the last ten years

i order a tall strawberry and cream frappe w coconut milk and Carlton is very excited to get a pumpkin spice frappe, no latte because he doesn't want to burn his tongue

yesterday Pearl showed me a video she edited featuring this black guy with ginger hair, Souffrant

Souffrant appears before us in starbucks and sits at our table

i'm supposed to edit my own video with Pearl's color correction advice, but i'm still trying to figure out my travel situation

before we went to starbucks, we walked to tastees and my mom replied to my frantic messages about grandma and the wedding with "ur not paying attention to what i tell u"

there's like a whole thing where i'm trying to get my cousin Jazz's number to ask if i can go from kingston to mobay with him because K-dollasign is unavailable.

aunty Rose says of course i can stay with her and of course she has Jazz's number

resolve dat, so mi have a place to stay and a drive

there are several unrelated phone calls that need to be made but mi still nah no credit, so i borrow Souffrant's phone

then the next chapter is me, Carlton, and Pearl trying to walk to sov after i finally finish editing my video.

i take some really dope shots of the sunset

pause for incoming illustration

R: i mean

sure

make hay

all of the birds with 1 stone

J: -picture of sov-

R: this is sov

dark

but its sov

J: it's the golden sunset reflecting off the walls

then we all go to kfc and then i try look for some shoes to wear to the wedding, but then mi nuh even know if it's really a beach ting, but never fear, my likkle sister is here to whatsapp me the link to the wedding info website the couple set up!

it's a garden brunch affair ting

so we think to go to lee's instead of payless and when we reach back in fronta payless di people dem close

so now i will go to the thrift store tmrw to cop a whole new fit from the dress to the shoes.

when i reach home my father is going to the airport and grandma (dad's mom, not the one i was tryna see earlier) asks me to come with them which i would have done anyway.

driving back from the airport, grandma's bajan soca music continues to play in the car, but it seems louder now without dad's voice. i try to talk to grandma about herself. i ask about high school. she says, "do you expect me to remember 50 years ago"

i'm like yes of course

she said

"well

i was head girl"

of course! i say

and she was also in charge of sports such as running

the drive back home is very slow because grandma cant really see in the dark

when we finally reach home and i lay inna mi bed, mi wonda why mi so tiyad

and now i know why

thanks for tuning in, this has been an appreciation for the life we live, by Jeana like jeans pants

totes forgot the best part where K-dollasign pulled up on Carlton and me in traffic when we walked back to the plaza to get to the car

then another man pulled up on us and Carlton cuss me jokingly bout how i know everyone and we probably see someone else weh mi know

#fabulous

R: like bloodcleet jeans pants

yea, cause clearly you're a superstar

beer people, links and visits

Kid: (approaches, stroking her cheek) "On what?" stocking: well, normally i just wear white and blue striped undies, but sometimes i like to wear black silky undies for... special occasions~ *she traces a finger up his chest* Kid: (blushing a bit, but even voice) "Black is always a good color." (takes her hand, kissing it) "I love your striped white-and-blue, by the way." stocking: hehe~ Kid: (smiles) "You are beautiful." (rests his hands along her shoulders) "I love your style." -later- Patty: (in Kid's suit) "Symmetry is key." liz: still cant find your spare clothes, eh? Patty: "Nah. I went into the shower, pop out--boom! Gone! I asked the maids, but they said they didn't take them. Who the hell steals clothes in this house?!" stocking: morning guys. liz: hey, but really, you literally have the same exact outfit in your closet. Kid: "Good mo--" (eyes widen) "Patty?" Patty: "But I like that outfit! I swear, if someone messed it up, I'm gonna wring their neck!" (turns, looks at Kid--and imitates his two-finger pose and usual frown) "Hello, Kid. How is this symmetrical day treating you?" Kid: (clutches Stocking's hand) stocking: *chuckling* Kid: "F-Fine. You, um...said you could not find your outfit?" liz: she literally has one just like it in her closet! Patty: (pouts) "Yeah, it was my favorite, too! I was in the shower, someone stole my clothes, and I had to skip out of the bathroom in my towel." (gestures) "So I popped into your closet and took one of your suits!" (glares at Liz) "I said it was my favorite! I am superstitious like that! At least if I put on one of Kid's suits, I might get some of his good luck!" Kid: (whispers to Stocking) "Some luck..." stocking: *sweats* Patty: "I swear, if there is one alteration, one tear in my sweater and shorts, that person is getting an ass-whooping! And don't even get me started on my favorite hat--who knows what sick pervert might be doing with that?!" Kid: *sweating more* stocking: um.... Patty: (studies Kid and Stocking) "You two have a good night's sleep?" stocking: you bet. slept like a rock last night. Kid: "Yep. Sleep." (sweating more, wiping his forehead) "Just sleeping. Sleep, sleep, sleep..." Patty: "..." (leaning forward at Kid and Stocking, studying them) liz: ?? Kid: "...The...suit looks good on you...Right, Stocking?" stocking: yeah, it sure does! Patty: (smirks) "Oh, really?" (looks at Kid) "So, you don't mind if I keep it?" Kid: "N-No! Take it! It's yours!" Patty: "Do I have your permission to...cut off one of the sleeves?" Kid: o_o liz: he has thousands of them just like it anyway... kirika: DO IT FOR THE VINE! Kid: "I CONFESS! I TOOK IT!" Patty: "...Ah ha! J'accuse!" *Phoenix Wright stance* liz: when does she speak french? Patty: "Been practicing!" (realization) "If you took my clothes, though, did you also take my bra and panties?" Kid: "What?!" stocking: no! Kid: "I-I-I didn't! I didn't find any bra and panties when I stole your outfit!" Patty: "Then who did?!" Kid and Patty: (looks to Liz) "Ideas?" liz: *shrugs* *mewling is heard someplace* kirika: *sweats* Kid: "Shh...What's that sound?" kirika: nothing! Patty: "Kirika? You hot? Do we need to fix the A/C again?" kirika: its nothing im fine! stocking: is... is that a cat? Kid: (spots ears) "What on earth?" Patty: (rushes towards Kirika) "Are you hiding a kitty-cat? WITH MY UNDIES?!" *a small kitten is nestled in patti's undergarments* Patty: "...Well, a pussy in my undies is--" Kid: (slaps hand over mouth) "No." kirika: s-shut up! *blushing* Kid: "You brought in a cat? Why didn't you just tell us?" kirika: she's a baby! i couldnt just leave her out there on her own! i-if you tell anyone i'll kick yer ass! Kid: (holds up his hands) "No problem there. But in the future, tell us: I certainly would not have objected if you explained to me first..." (looks at the cat) "I know they can be messy, but I do want to overcome...some of my symmetrical tendencies." Patty: "Aw, she's so tiny! You didn't see her mama anywhere?" kirika: ....... Kid: "Oh...Well, our first step is to bring her to a vet. Tezca had recommended one to us--I hope they are accepting new patients." kirika: ... i guess... Kid: "Stocking, please make sure the cat is warm. We'll take her over as soon as I get a vet..." stocking: ok... she's doing good so far. Kid: (on the phone) "We'll be right over." (hangs up) "Let's get going to the vet." -later- stocking: she's in good health. kirika: *sigh of relief* Kid: (smiles) "Is the kitten ready to return home?" kirika: i think so. Patty: (back in one of her usual outfits) "So why won't you give me back my cowboy hat?" Kid: (frowns) "Drop it, please." Patty: " 'Kay! Kirika, what you gonna name the kitten?" stocking: i spilled juice on it by accident. we need to wash it off. kirika: i was thinking 'Mocha'. Kid: (laughs a bit at Stocking's remark, whispers) "Good save." Patty: "Hmm...Neat name, Kirika!" (leans down, quietly looks at Mocha) mocha: mew! *she seems pleased* Patty: (hugs Liz and Kirika) Kid: (puts an arm around Stocking) -later, on the day of the school trip- Kid: "You all have your tickets?" -they all do- tsugumi: i cant wait to introduce you to my family and friends back home! Meme: "It'll be great to see where you grew up!" Anya: "And I've been studying my Japanese!" (struggles to say "Kon'nichiwa") "Cone-itchy-wah!" mio: werent you already to japan, senpai? i mean, you showed up there and brought me to death city. tsugumi: pretty close. ao: perhaps we can visit my grandmother at the old shrine. Meme: "But Mio, not in Tsugumi's neighborhood, though." (puts finger to her chin) "Um...Tsugumi, am I forgetting something?" mio: i got your ticket for you. Meme: "Ah, thank you, Mio!" (pats her head) -where is the first stop on the trip? mana: <ok where did we end up?> *looks at her map* <SHOWTARO YOU IDIOT THIS IS TOKYO NOT TOYKYO!!> Shotaro: <Ha ha ha! I had the silly map upside-down sorry!> chie: *sigh* *facepalms* stocking: excuse me ma'am? *ahem* <do you know where Sakurao ryokan is?> chie: <Sakurao? sorry, dont think i've heard of it.> Shotaro: <I could help! I'm great at directions! Right, Mana?> mana: *glaaare* Shotaro: (smiles, ignorantly, then looks at Stocking) <See?> *bwhamp* Shotaro: <Ouchie> sayaka: ACK! my luggage opened up! Crona: "Here, let me help you..." --Black Star stares at Shotaro-- Black Star: "Um...Does this dude look familiar to you?" sayaka: ...... maybe he's you and tsubaki's son from the future? idk. Crona: (rolls eyes, putting more of Sayaka's items into suitcase...) "How did you fit a sword in this suitcase?!" sayaka: ack! i didnt intend that! Crona: "Who doesn't realize they packed a sword?!" Harvar: "..." (hides his luggage behind his back) sayaka: i did bring my soul gem, so it must have come outta there. liz: amazing how security isnt doing anything about it. guard: <we see shit like this all the time.> Kid: (smirks at Stocking) "At least when you bring swords, they're carry-on." (points at her legs) Patty: <Yeah, those metal detectors keep going off when we weapons go through them.> (realizes she just spoke Japanese--and sees the subtitles under her) "Huh." soul: ......... mana: ???? <whats with you?> soul: uh....huh? stocking: she's asking whats wrong with you. soul: n-nothing, its fine. Kid: (observing Soul) Black Star: "You sure, bro?" soul: y-yeah. Black Star: (studies him) "Say...Isn't Mrs. Albarn still around here in Japan?" soul: beats me..... i think... nevermind... Black Star: "..." (pats his shoulder) "Yeah." chie: <well, since most of you dont seems to understand us, we'll have to switch to what is commonly refered to as the universal language. aka.> english. Patty: <Everyone in the world speaks English!> (smacks the side of her head) "Sorry. I was stuck on Japanese." Kid: "So, no idea where our hotel is? I assume we will have to check with Information..." liz: dont mind my sister, she's a bit... well. just herself i guess. mio: whats with all the stuff you have harudorin? tsugumi: just some stuff im dropping off at my house Anya: "That is quite a number of items to constitute 'just some stuff.' What is it all?" tsugumi: souviners and stuff mostly. -later, after being brought to the ryokan- Patty: "Oooo, very traditional looking...Props to whoever made this choice!" -soon, everyone is brought to their rooms- Black Star: "Who has which rooms?" -soul and patti, meme and ao, anya and mio, tsugumi and liz, sayaka and homura, madoka and chrona, mami and tsubaki, kid and black*star, stocking and shinra, arthur and eternal feather- eternal feather:.... *sigh* Arthur: (seductive grin) "Hey..." shinra: dude. not here, not now. Kid: (grunts) "This is not the roommate I wanted..." Black Star: (frowns) "Would you sit down? The room is symmetrical enough--you can stop checking the fibers on the mats!" -and so- soul:........... Patty: "...Soul?" soul: yeah? Patty: "I'm sorry if this is awkward being your roomie. Anything you need me to do, just ask." soul: no worries... its been a while since i got to have a roommate........i just.... that girl at the airport.... Patty: (turns over on the bed, looks at him) "What about that girl?" soul: she looked just like maka.... but with shorter hair.... Patty: (frowns) "I...could see that...You miss her, huh? A lot" soul: of course i do... she was my partner, after all.... sure we squabbled a lot, but at the end of the day, i still cared about her.... Patty: (laughs a little) "You two really did fight a lot..." (sad eyes) "I don't know how much you miss her...but I miss her, too...She was always kick-ass, was kind..." (sniffs a little, approaches Soul, hugs him) soul: she sure was..... Patty: (pats his back) "Soul? Is there anything you want to do here in Japan? For Maka's sake?" soul: just, try to enjoy myself. Patty: (smiles) "Okay...We should start that now." (lets go) "Think we can get a drink somewhere in this hotel? Some saki?" soul: i think you mean sa-ke. but i dont think you're allowed to have alchohol. -elsewhere- eternal feather: *reading* Arthur: ("She hasn't looked at me at all..." clears throat) eternal feather: ?? Arthur: "So, what're you reading?" eternal feather: just a phrase book. Arthur: "I thought you _were_ Japanese." eternal feather:............ *she calls him a jerk in Vietnamese* Arthur: "Sorry, what was that?" arthur: *she just ignores him* Arthur: "...Whatever. I'm going to bathe..." eternal feather: *sigh*.... (thinking: i wonder if i could learn more about hiro this way....worth a shot, right?) Arthur: (enters changing room) -after that- eternal feather: so, you're hiro's cousin, right? Arthur: "Yes." (smirks a bit) "Heh heh heh..." eternal feather: o-o..... so... does he have any hobbies? favorite shows, anything like that? Arthur: "..." --A Good and Bad Conscience pop up on his shoulders-- Good!Arthur: "You should tell the truth: a shining knight does not deceive a lady!" Bad!Arthur: "But a knight has to have fun once in awhile--lie your butt off!" Arthur: ("...What should I do: tell the truth, or lie?") -just be honest here.- Arthur: "Well, Hero likes martial arts movies. He practically has Bruce Lee's films memorized." eternal feather: ah. Arthur: "He always has to go to the convenience store to get food for everyone else, but really, he's rather cook his own meal--since he's, you know, all on his own." eternal feather: i thought he was living with his parents and sister? Arthur: (shrugs) "Sometimes, he's on his own, home alone in the house." eternal feather: i guess. Arthur: (smirks) "Why are you so keen to know about Hero? Thinking about making him dinner and having a night-in watching Jackie Chan films?" eternal feather: *blush* i-i just... want to know about his interests. is that so wrong? Arthur: "No. Not wrong at all." Arthur: "But talking to me won't help you as much as talking to him yourself." eternal feather: i guess.... *she sighs* y-you wont tell him this, will you? Arthur: (smirks) "How much you willing to pay for my silence?" eternal feather:.... nevermind.... *she goes to bed* Arthur: "Jeez, alright. I'll keep my mouth shut." (turns off lights) "Night." -the next morning- shinra: *with a red bruise on his face* ow... stocking: i wanna change rooms. Black Star: "...I'll switch. But what happened to you?" shinra: she woke up and started screaming and hitting me. Kid: "Stocking?" (approaches her) stocking: *she hugs kid tightly* i forgot we werent sharing a room....do you hate me? Kid: "No, I could never. But you must apologize to Shinra." stocking: s-sorry for beating you up. shinra: i-its cool. hurts like hell, but its cool. Black Star: (slaps Shinra on the back) "Come on, dude. I'll help you move your stuff into my room." Kid: (hugs Stocking) "It's okay. You're okay." -so they do some exploring around town- Black Star: "Helloooooooooo, Tokyo! Woot!" Kid: "Good work undermining the 'ugly American' stereotype, Black Star." soul: so, where to first? Kid: "Tokyo Tower?" stocking: that sounds great! Black Star: "A view of the city from its highest point--the best place for a god to stand above all! Come on, Tsubaki!" -and so- tsubaki: the view is just breath taking... Black Star: (silent, just smiling) Patty: "Where's our hotel at, Sis? I can't see it from here." liz: its so huge... Patty: "Well, if the hotel's so huge, why can't I see it?" stocking: i think its over there. Patty: (turns) "Oh! I didn't even look that way! Thanks!" Meme: (sighs content) "It is a great view." Anya: "Is this really as high as this building goes? I thought it would be taller." tsugumi: its pretty high up though. mio: *green in the face* too high up... Meme: "Mio? Um...Let's walk back a bit..." (holds her hand to guide her away from the view) mio: can i go back down now? Meme: (smiles) "Of course. Let's head to the elevator..." Anya: "Best let the tower's staff know, too." -later- liz: so where to next? Black Star: "Get a snack or an early lunch? I'm sure we could find a decent restaurant." tsubaki: i think there's someplace around... oh! how about there? Patty: "...I can't read that sign. What's it called?" tsubaki: 'Shirosaki restaraunt and sushi bar' Kid: (opens smartphone he got in Japan) "It has good reviews, and it is affordable." (smiles) "Well, lunch will be on me." stocking: neato! Patty: "Say bye-bye to your food budget, Kiddo! Come on, Black Star!" Black Star: "Eat Kid out of all his money! Yahoo!" Meme: "Mio, are you okay?" mio: yeah... a bit better now... Meme: (smiles) Anya: "Will this food be authentically Japanese, or only kinda Japanese?" tsugumi: about as authentic as it gets. Anya: "I hope so." (opens menu) "Um...Could you translate for me?" tsugumi: of course. what looks good to you? Anya: "I would like a sushi that fills me up quickly, with a lot of flavor. Meat or vegetarian--whatever works." -after lunch, shopping time!- Kid: (shakes his wallet--and only a moth flies out) "Thank goodness for a DWMA credit line..." Black Star: "Charisma Justice comics everywhere! So many to buy!" (hugging manga) stocking: oh my gosh! they have all the hottest lines, Raku-Chan, Fruity nyan nyan, fangblade. the whole works! Kid: (smiles) Patty: "Look at the arcade! Who's up for DDR?!" stocking: *raises her hand* Meme: "Oh, that'll be fun! Come on, Mio!" tsugumi: there's a purikura booth! Anya: "Pure what-a?" tsugumi: pu-ri-ku-ra. its really cool. its like a photo booth, but you can customise it with stickers and stuff! Anya: "Well, I could be convinced..." (blushes, takes Tsugumi hand to lead her to the booth) ao: i'll come as well. Anya: (frowns) "Oh, joy." Kid: "Stocking, which song are you coming to play on DDR?" stocking: lets go with this one. Kid: (smiles) "Good choice..." -later- Kid: "Wow." stocking: phew. Kid: "Heh. You still have great steps..." stocking: i've been practicing. Kid: "At the arcade?" stocking: at the arcade, at home. Kid: "Let me know the next time you want to compete--I'd love to play." stocking: sure~ Anya: (looking at photographs) "Should I have added more stickers?" tsugumi: i think it looks cute. stocking: can we get a turn>? tsugumi: sure! Kid: (smiles) "After you." -so they go in and take some pics- Kid: "I wonder how they turned out." stocking: they're so cute! Kid: (smiles) "Yes...and they only accentuate your cuteness." stocking: hehe~ Kid: (hugs her from behind, pointing at one photo) "I like that one the most. I haven't seen you smile like that in a long time..." stocking: *she smiles and kisses him* oh look at this one! *she points to one of kid kissing her cheek with heart stickers on it* Kid: (smiles...kisses her other cheek) -later- Black Star: "So many comics...food...Man, I should be in Japan more often. I'd probably be the King around here." tsubaki: maybe. Black Star: "Emperor Black Star! Hey, every emperor has to be a DWMA grad anyway--I COULD BE RULER OF JAPAN!" soul: oh boy. Kid: "Japan under Black Star...I would move out." Black Star: (frowns) stocking: so, now what? Kid: "Perhaps a walk through a park?" stocking: sure. --At Shinagawa Park-- Kid: (sees the children playing in the park) stocking: oh look. *she points to a karaoke stand* why dont we go there? Kid: (nods) "Let's." -and so- Kid: "Which song were you considering?" stocking: how about this? -pop drop candy- Kid: "Catchy." (smiles) -stocking sings along- Kid: ("The voice of an angel...") soul: ok, my turn. -kagerou days- Patty: "Yay, Soul! Woo!" -later, back at the hotel- Patty: "Soul should sing more often!" Kid: "Indeed." (holds Stocking's hand) stocking: so..... whos up for some ghost stories? liz: nope! Patty: "Yep!" Black Star: (raises hand) "Yeah!" stocking: who's up first? --Lights flick off-- --A flashlight turns on-- ???: "I'll go first..." liz: EE! --The flashlight shines to reveal it is Meme-- Meme: "Bwa ha ha! I have a tale to make your skin crawl!" mio: oh boy. Meme: "I will tell you of the Red Cloak, the charming man who corrupts young ladies, dragging them to their graves..." tsubaki: ooh. liz: Q~Q Meme: "The Red Cloak is a man, sharply dressed, who visit social gatherings. He's the man in the corner booth at the bar. He's the handsome gent across from you on the bus. And he sits beside you..." stocking: *she looks at kid* Kid: (gulps, holds her hand a little more tightly) Meme: "His voice is smooth. His features are delicate, but his build is muscular. He is one hot body." Patty: "Oh, that's hot..." Meme: "But he is facing a conundrum: he is heading to an event, and he is not sure which tie goes best with his suit. He shows you the ties: one is red, and one is blue." Meme: (shines the flashlight on Liz) "Which color do you choose?!" liz: i dunno. Meme: "YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE, ELIZABETH!" liz: uhh red? Meme: (buzzer sound) "Wrong answer! He was hiding a switchblade underneath the red tie and cuts your throat! Pick again!" liz: *gulps and holds her neck* BLUE! Meme: (buzzer sound, twice) "Now he chokes you until your face turns blue and you die! HA HA HA H--" Anya: (grabs flashlight from Meme, lightly taps it on the top of her head) Meme: "Owie...Anya, that was mean." Anya: "Stop scaring the coward: you know how sensitive she is." liz: so im basically screwed either way... Meme: (takes the flashlight back) "YES!" Anya: (takes back the flashlight) "Stop that! *sigh* Who else wants to play?" Meme: (frowns, sighs) "Mio, you liked the story, right?" soul: i'll go. this is the story of a family. a father, a mother, and a child. soul: they were a relativly normal family, until one day. the father accidently killed the mother in a drunken rage, and buried the body in the cellar. he told the child his mother was on a trip. soul: days came and went without any problem. eventually, the father asked why the child never asked his mother. and the child said this…. soul: 'but papa, mama's standing right behind you.' Anya: (hugging her knees to her chest) liz: EEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!! Meme: o_o Patty: "AAAAAH!" stocking: freaky. Black Star: "Tch. That's the best you got, Soul? I could tell a way scarier story..." --Black Star takes the flashlight-- Black Star: "There was a man who ran a burger restaurant. He had so few customers that he had to throw out the rotten meat at the end of each day--and that smell always attracted dogs to the dumpster..." tsubaki: ?? Black Star: "Tired of his life, tired of his failed business, tired of everything, this owner got fed up--and he shouted at one stray hanging around, 'Beat it, you damn mutt!' And the dog looked back...and in the shadows the owner could see there was something wrong about this dog...freaky about this dog..." Black Star: "This dog...HAD HIS FACE!" soul: dude what the fuck?! Black Star: "Looked just like him! Exact same eyes, exact same nose! And the dog had his voice when it shouted, "Leave me alone!" liz: Q~Q Black Star: "The owner stepped back! He tried to say something, anything coherent! But all that came out was one sound: 'WOOF!'" madoka: i dont get it... Black Star: "Shocked at the sound of his own voice, he fell back! And he saw, in the rain puddle next to him, THAT HE NOW HAD A DOG'S FACE! All he could do was howl into the night, as the face-stealing dog sprinted off with the face of him that he stole! BOOOOoooooOOOOO!" Anya: (frowns) "Yeah, not impressed." Patty: (muffled voice) "I thought it was good. Right, Sis?" ao: i think i know one. this is a story my grandmother told me and my sister when we were children. Anya: (rolls her eyes) Meme: "Oh?" -a few stories later, it was kid's turn- Kid: "Oh, um...I'm not sure I can rise up to the level of these stories...but I do know one..." (looks to Stocking) stocking: what is it? Kid: "The story of the kunekune. That's Japanese for twisting, turning, meandering. They say that you should never look directly at the kunekune, or you will be driven insane." soul: oh? sort of like a kishin? Kid: (shudders) "No, not quite like that. Its power comes from being at a distant...so that its vague shape drives people insane trying to determine just what it is..." sayaka: creepy. Kid: "If you look to the horizon, you can see it: it's like a white squiggle--rather asymmetrical, too...But it is too indiscriminate to really refer to it as having a human form. Some witnesses have said it is in the shape of a child. Others said an elderly person. Some said even a bestial form." liz: TT~TT Kid: "People who have seen this apparition have similar symptoms: face become pale, sweating, trembling...they start to speak in a voice not their own..." Kid: "In the worst cases, the person collapses onto the floor--and laughs. Just...laughs. No one is ever the same after seeing the kunekune." mami: so, who's next? Kid: (hands the flashlight to Stocking) "Care to have a go?" stocking: ok. sometimes, while walking home late at night, you will come across a woman. she looks like any other woman, but is wearing a surgical mask, or a scarf. Kid: "..." stocking: sometimes, this woman will come up to you and ask. 'am i pretty?' if you say yes, she will remove the mask and reveal her mouth has been split at the ends, giving her a smile from ear to ear. she will then ask 'how about now?' Patty: o_O Kid: (shudders) Black Star: "Dude..." stocking: if you say no, she will kill you. if you say yes, she will give you a smile like hers. the best way to deal with this is to say you have someplace to go. she'll let you be on your way then Anya: T_T Meme: (clutches Mio) "Creepy..." mio: well i got one. and this is a legit true story too. Meme: "..." (squirming) Anya: (raises eyebrow) mio: after hanging out at the mall in my hometown, i decided to take the bus back home. as i rode, more and more people got off, until eventually, it was just me and the driver. Meme: (sweating) mio: he didnt know i was still on the bus, so he drove up into the mountains. and as he drove, he opened up his mouth........... Meme: (clutching Tsugumi) mio: he opened his mouth..... AND BEGAN SINGING THE PRETTY CURE THEME SONG AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS!! --Everyone screams-- stocking: thats it? mio: it was weird! the guy was, like, 70 or something! eventually when we got to the bus station he found me and had my mom pick me up. Patty: (shuddering, clutching Liz) "Creepy..." mio: okkkkk boyle, you wanna go? Arthur: "Very well...This story is called...the Ogre." --It's exactly what you expect his story about be about-- -elsewhere- maki: i dont know why, but i think im gonna kick arthur's ass when he gets back from the trip -back in the ryokan- Arthur: "And that is how I valiantly defeated that beast and claimed victory for the Princess!" mio:................ Kid: "...You just told a story of sword and sorcery, not really a ghost story." Arthur: "Every story I tell is about knights! That's my motif!" shinra: i got one thats really creepy. Crona: "R-really creepy?" mami: do you want to get something from the vending machines? Crona: (nods) -in the hall- mami: how are you holding up? Crona: (smiles) "Better. Thank you. You're...very kind." mami: *she smiles* ah, here it is. so what would you like? Crona: "Something with a little chocolate?" mami: hmm. oh. how about a kitkat? Crona: "Oh, they have those here?" mami: mmhmm. they also have green tea flavored kitkats as well. Crona: "I-I hope we can buy some before we leave..." mami: *she buys a few* here you go. -back in the room, patti is telling her story- Patty: "I shall tell the tale of Shirime. Have you all heard of it?" liz: its not a 'cursed' story is it? if it is, skip to another one. Patty: "No, no--it's really cool! It's a ghost with no face, and a huge eye coming out of its butt!" liz: ...........what...... Patty: "A samurai was walking to Kyoto, when someone in a kimono stepped out of the shadows to block his path. The kimono man asked for a moment of the samurai's time." Patty: "The man turned around, dropped his clothes, and bent over--revealing a big honking eye coming out of his butt!" Patty: "And the butt-eye glowed! Like a flashlight shining out in the night!" -silence- Kid: (slaps hand over his face) Patty: "Ha ha ha! Pretty gross, huh?" sayaka: AND THEN A SKELETON POPPED OUT! liz: *SCREAM* Patty: "Hey, no one asked for you to add to my story! It was perfect on its own!" sayaka: sorry~ *sweatdrop* anyone else got any stories? Black Star: "Tsubaki? You got one?" tsubaki: well, there is one, though im not sure if it counts as a 'story'... Kid: "Well, let's here it." (holds Stocking's hand, whispers) "Some of these are really scary..." tsubaki: there's an old shrine behind my home, the nakatsukasa family shrine. its a very old building. it's been around as long as i can remember. my father always told masamune and i to never go inside. Black Star: (serious face) Patty: (quiet) tsubaki: sadly, thats all i really know about it. but it always really scared me. Black Star: "...You going to your home while we're here though, right?" tsubaki: yes. but we really shouldnt go in that building. Black Star: (nods) "Okay...But maybe your dad could be a little more honest about whatever it is why he doesn't want to go..." Patty: (whispers to Liz) "Black Star should totally go inside the shrine." liz: no! -later- Kid: "Everyone going to be okay sleeping? Liz? Crona?" Crona: (shaking a bit) "S-Sure..." liz: Q~Q Kid: "Liz? Maybe we should stay up with you for a bit..." liz: o-ok.... stocking: *she smiles* Patty: (hugs Liz) -later- stocking: *asleep between kid and patti* liz: *sleeping aside patti* Patty: *yawn* "This is nice, Kid..." Kid: (smiles) "Get some sleep, Patty." Patty: *yawn* "Love you..." Kid: "I love you, too. Good night." Patty: (snoring) Kid: (falls asleep) \kiiiiiddoooooo~\ Kid: (tossing) "Wha--?" -silence- Kid: (in dream) "Who's there?" -a figure is huddled up in a corner of the room- Kid: (awake, sees the figure...but can't quite sense a soul there...) "H-Hello?" -the figure turns back. it looks like you, but with 5 black lines running from the top of the lip to the chin. its teeth are bloody. it is holding a limp and near lifeless stocking, who is twitching with a blank, wide eyed expression- Kid: (eyes wide) "No...Not again...You get out of here!" stocking:? k...ki.....id..... *her neck is bloody* Kid: "Stocking!" (gets up, rushes to her) "Let go of her!" \she is mine.\ Kid: (seizes Stocking, cradling her from the Mad!Kid) "No, she is not!" stocking?: *choking on her own blood* Kid: (hyperventilating) "Stocking, no, no, no..." (puts his hands to her neck, trying to stop the bleeding) "Patty! Liz! Call an ambulance!" -they arent there- Kid: "Someone! Help!" stocking?: *a gurgling sound rattles from her throat as her eyes roll back* Kid: (he can't feel her soul...) "No." (he falls over her. Silent. Then he starts sobbing.) "Stocking." stocking?: *her skin begins to decay and turn to dust, leaving only bones* Kid: (gasps, then lets out a wail) -the body lay lifeless for a few moments, before it springs to life, letting out a demonic scream and sinking its needle like teeth into kid's neck- Kid: (shrieks, slapping at his neck, feeling blood seeping out of the teeth marks) ???: KID WAKE UP! Kid: (eyes break open as he screams and throws out his hand to grasp at something) stocking: kid? are you ok? Kid: (clutches Stocking in a hug) "Thank God...I thought you were dead." stocking: ??? Kid: "A dream. I dreamt you were dead...And..." (cries) stocking:........ *she strokes his head* ssshhhh... its ok kid.... im here... Kid: (crying) "Stocking..." stocking: *she kisses his forehead* i love you kid. Kid: (his sobs only rise in pitch; he clings to her, trying to calm his breathing) liz: breakfast ti- kid?! stocking: shhh. he had a nightmare... liz:....kid..... Kid: (buries his head into Stocking's chest, trying to hide from Liz) stocking: its ok kid.... its going to be ok... Kid: "How can you know that? How can you know it will be okay? What if--it happens again?" stocking: its going to be ok. i'll always be here for you. Kid: (silent, but calmer...) "Th-thank you..." -later- Kid: "..." stocking: ...... *she holds his hand* Kid: (slight squeeze) "I...want to do something to calm down..." stocking: like what? Kid: "I think I'll relax in the bath...maybe tonight. But I also...Stocking? When we were in the park, and saw those children playing...I felt happy because I thought...I thought about you and me..." stocking: oh? Kid: "I want a future, Stocking. I want to live. I want to live for you, for any children we would have. And I...I can't do it if I am...like I am afraid." (looks at her) "How do you keep going?" stocking: ...... Kid: "How do you keep staying alive?" stocking: its..... hard to say really.... Kid: "???" stocking: s-sorry. i dont usually have those kind of thoughts. Kid: (nods) "I mean more so depression and feeling dread...fearing the next bad thing that will happen." stocking:...... -later- Patty: (hugging Liz) "Kiddo..." liz: he's...doing better now... Patty: "He still looked pretty bad...Sis? Is Kid going to get better?" liz: im sure he will. Patty: "..." (sniff) stocking: *she's holding kid* Kid: "..." (his breathing has calmed) "Thank you." stocking: did you want to do anything else in tokyo? we're going to be going to the next stop tommorrow... Kid: "I was thinking of two places. The Meiji Shrine, and the National Museum." stocking: m-meiji?! Kid: "Stocking? What's wrong?" stocking: meiji as in..t-the chocolate company~?! *her eyes light up* Kid: "...Well, I meant the shrine. But we can also visit the chocolate facto--" stocking: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!!!! liz: gck- ...m-my ears... Kid: (hair blown back) "So...we'll go to the chocolate factory, then..." stocking: yay! Kid: (smiles) "Go get dressed..." -and so- Kid: (looking at Stocking) o_o stocking: what? Kid: "You're glowing. It's like pure happiness radiates off of you." (holds her hand) "You are beautiful." stocking: *she smiles and blushes* Kid: "Let's go. I think the walk will do good for me, and the factory...Well, I think you're going to be pleased with it"' stocking: ok. --They arrive-- Kid: "Ready to enter?" stocking: yes. Kid: "Okay..." (pushes open the doors--and hit with the scene of chocolate, which again knocks back his hair) "Again? Really?" stocking: *joyful squeals* Kid: (still smiling, as they enter...and they approach a platform, overlooking the factory's workings...) stocking: *drooling* Kid: (looks down from the platform to see...) "Is that a canal? Full of chocolate?!" stocking: am i dreaming? Kid: (smirks) "I could pinch you...": stocking: oh~? Kid: (gets closer to her to look over the platform) "Oh, believe me, you're not dreaming..." (smirks) "...unless you're asking..." stocking: hehe~ is there a gift shop? tell me there is. Kid: (nods) "I already called a delivery service to ship anything you buy back home for you..." stocking: ..... I LOVE YOU!!! Kid: (smirks) "Is that you, or your candy-fetish talking, Miss Pheles?" stocking: *pouts* making fun of me are ya? you're so meeeean! Kid: (brushes his lips along her pouting ones) "I like your candy-fetish..." stocking: i like cakes and desserts too. Kid: "Sweets for a sweet person..." stocking: hehe~ Kid: (looks at the river of chocolate) "Am I going to have to install something like that in the Mansion?" stocking: its not _that_ extreme, haha. stocking: but its tempting~ Kid: (whispers to her) "Imagine swimming in it..." stocking: yeah.... the downside is it'd be a pain to wash out of my hair... Kid: (nods) "Showercap, maybe..." stocking: maybe~ Kid: "Or a chocolate bath...just up to your shoulders..." stocking: you'd have to clean me of then~ Kid: "Sounds...tasty." -later- Kid: "Is that enough chocolate? I think there’s still a few bars in the back corner--expired chocolate." -later- stocking: so this is the shrine, huh? Kid: (smiles) "Peaceful." stocking: its nice. Kid: "Yes...I can hear the wind brushing along the tree branches..." stocking: *she listens* Kid: (inhales, exhales...meditates on the sound of the wind) stocking: *humming* Kid: (listens to her humming..."What is that song?") -that night- liz: so where's the next stop? Patty: "Kid and Stocking coming along?" Kid: "Of course. Did you think we'd pick up and go elsewhere?" soul: its a class trip, remember? Patty: (pouts) "After the lovebirds went off on their own, I thought they had eloped or something at the shrine." Kid: "Wh-What?!" stocking: *angel chop!* Patty: "Ouch!" (small halo forms over her head) "Man, I didn't want to die like this..." (falls back into Liz's arms) x_x liz: you're not dead yet! Patty: "Send my body to Artie. Stuff it and keep it next to his bed..." *Gak!* Arthur: 0_o Kid: "...Right. So, how about Nara?" tsugumi: i have a book here about the sights. i could.... soul: she better not tsugumi: *snicker* i could.... NARA-rate it for you! Meme: -_- Anya: -_- Patty: "...Stocking? Hit her." mio: oh my god. stocking: *facepalms* tsugumi: come on, that was a good one! sayaka: i liked it. Black Star: "...Oh! Now I get it! Ha!" tsugumi: see, some people appreciate my jokes! Crona: "...Um...what is in Nara?" mio: ask tsugumi, she can nara-rate it for ya. tsugumi: gagantous! shinra: gaga-what now? Meme: "We...still don't know." Anya: "It's like a nervous tic..." Crona: "Um, Tsugumi? Please tell me about Nara." -the next morning, after they all gather their things and head for the hotel in nara, tsugumi shows chrona the book- Crona: "Deer?" tsugumi: a whole park full of them. you can even feed them! Crona: : ) eternal feather: so where is the hotel? Kid: "Close to nature. It's the Nara Hotel." stocking: ooh. mio: oh man, i think i saw this hotel in 'another'.... *shudders* Kid: "The Imperial suite...traditional decor...Japanese rooms...Wait, what do you mean 'Another'?" mio: its a horror anime. also really bloody. sayaka: yeah, i never finished it... not after the umbrella scene....*shudders* never run down the stairs with an umbrella. Kid: "I don't usually." (clears throat) "I trust we will have better room arrangements this time." (looks to Shrina) shinra: what.... WHAT?! Kid: (cringes) "Sorry! I didn't mean to stare. I just meant that...Um..." (smiles) "Who would you like to room with? Whoever you want..." shinra: im down with whatever really. Kid: (nods) "Stocking? Will you room with me?" Stocking: of course.~ Kid: (smiles) Patty: "Me and Sis!" sayaka: dibs on soul-brother! soul: heh... Crona: "M-Mami?" chrona *she smiles* ok. Anya: D: "Why?!" Arthur: o\\\\o "I-I-I...I'm okay with this. Yeah. Sure." Meme: (pouts a bit, looking at Mio...) ao: aw, how cute. tsugumi: ^^; homura: guess it cant be helped. Kid: (leans against Stocking, resting his head on her shoulder) Patty: "Deer! I saw a deer!" tsugumi: ahh! so cute! Anya: (rolls eyes a bit) "So many on the castle's grounds..." Black Star: "Magnificent beast of nature! So graceful! So beautiful! Good for you, you deer!" Kid: "Stop sticking your head out the window, Black Star!" mio: kinda scraggly lookin....but cute i guess... Meme: "Oh, we're approaching the hotel..." -after everyone settles into their own rooms- Kid: (seated on floor in traditional Japanese room, looking out open door to porch) "Peaceful." stocking: its really nice. Kid: "Is this room okay? Some people aren't used to Japanese rooms and want something more Western..." stocking: i dont mind. my dad loves this stuff. Kid: (smiles) "Have you gotten him a souvenir yet?" stocking: a few actually. i got him this. *she holds up a figurine of a girl with dark hair and wielding a sword* i also got him this. *a kokeshi doll* Kid: "Apt. That's very kind of you to get something for your father...I'm not sure Father will like my gift." stocking: what did you get him? Kid: "A bonsai and some new clippers to go with it. And the largest box of Pocky I ever saw." --Meanwhile, in the Death Room-- Lord Death: (staring up) "It's 20 feet tall!" yumi: *adjusts her glasses* wow. -back at the hotel- Kid: "I'll have to think of something else for him..." (lies on floor) stocking: you ok? Kid: (smiles) "Yes. I just don't want to disappoint Father...or anyone else..." stocking: im sure he'll love it. Kid: "Thanks..." (stares at the ceiling) "Stocking? What would you like to do while we're in Nara?" stocking: well, what all is there? Kid: "Numerous temples, the imperial palace, the primeval forest, museums, hot springs..." stocking: hot springs sounds nice. Kid: (nods) "Yes. I think that would relieve some tension..." (winces, rubs his neck a bit) stocking: *she smiles* Kid: "Do you feel tense?" stocking: i would like to relax with you, if thats ok~ Kid: (smiles sweetly) "Always." -later at the onsen- Kid: "Ah...So warm." stocking: this is nice. Kid: (looks at her) "Indeed. You feel your muscles relaxing?" stocking: yeah. Kid: "Do you...feel awkward? I mean, being here with me?" stocking: no. if anything, i feel very comfortable. Kid: (smiles) "I'm happy to hear." (offers his hand to her) stocking: hey kid?.... liz told me that on the trip here....you had a nightmare where i dumped you. is that true? Kid: (frowns) "It's true." stocking:..... *she kisses him* well, thats never gonna happen. dream me is a bitch. i love you, ok babe? Kid: (stares--then laughs) " 'Dream me is a bitch'?" (laughs a little more, holds her shoulders) "I love you, too." (draws her in for a hug) stocking: *she hugs him* you're the most amazing guy, i'd have to be an idiot to pass that up! Kid: "No, please don't say that." (pulls back a bit) "Stocking, I want us to be the best we can, for ourselves and each other. I would never want you to be in a relationship if you felt uncomfortable with me. I love you too much to hurt you like that.” stocking: well, im perfectly comfortable with you, so dont worry about that, ok? lets just focus on happier things. Kid: (smiles) "Okay." (rests his hand along her waist) "This feels perfectly comfortable, too. And happy." stocking: hey kid? Kid: "Yes?" stocking: *she dives under the water then comes up behind him and glomps him* SNEAK ATTACK! Kid: "Ah!" (falls face-first into the water, with Stocking on top of him) stocking: hehe~ Kid: (still under the water, not moving) stocking: kid? you ok? Kid: (while she's distracted, he turns over to face her, his hand cupping one of her buttcheeks) stocking: O////////O ah! Kid: "Hee hee...Very shapely." stocking: kya~! Kid: "Should I let go?" stocking: *blush* well, if you want... or did you want to move your hand a little.... higher up~? Kid: (smiles) "Gladly..." (moves his hand a little higher up) stocking: almost there~ Kid: "Where do you want it, love?" (keeps moving up, waiting to know where she wants his hand...) stocking: i'll give you a hiiint~ they're soft and round~ Kid: (smirks) "You forgot 'beautiful,' too..." (rests both hands along her breasts) stocking: ahhhh~ that feels so good kid... Kid: (massages her breasts, while stroking her nipples) "Stocking..." stocking: *she sighs contentedly, blushing* Kid: "Is this good?" (tickles left nipple with the tip of his finger) stocking: a-ah~ Kid: "Or maybe this...?" (leans up, and kisses the top of her right breast) stocking: *she moans softly* Kid: (kisses down her breast, until he reaches her nipple) stocking: oh-ohhh~! Kid: (feeling himself grow harder at her sounds; he licks along her nipple, as his other hand continues to play with her nipple) stocking: d-do you want to move this to our room? Kid: (looks down, nods) "Yes." -later- stocking: *laying in his arms, panting* ahh.... i... forgot how good that felt.... Kid: (panting as well) "Yes...Thank you. I needed that..." (laughs) stocking: hehe~ *she kisses him* t-thanks for being gentle with me.... i think im g-getting better.... Kid: (smiles) "I'm glad..." (kisses her forehead) "You are getting better..." (smirks) "...in many ways. That mouth of yours..." stocking: *blush* y-yeah... Kid: (blushing, too, and sweating nervously) "Stocking? How am I with...my mouth?" stocking: hehe, you're quite talented, especially with your tongue~ Kid: (blushing, nervous smile) "Th-Thanks...I still feel like an amateur at all of this..." stocking: yeah... i-its been a while. Kid: (serious) "Too soon?" stocking: n-no. i was ready now so.... *she smiles* nevermind. Kid: "No, what were you going to say?" stocking: i was ready for sex, so its perfectly fine. Kid: (smiles) "I'm happy that you were ready." (kisses her forehead) "Stocking, I follow your lead: whenever you are ready, please ask." (hugs her) stocking: so what did you want to do tomorrow? Kid: "I heard some of our friends wanted to visit the petrified forest to see the deer and hard wood." stocking: *snickers* b-but yeah, the deer are adorable arent they? or rather... a-deer-able?............wow that was awful. Kid: "Oh, that is a bad pun..." (lightly strokes her lower back) "You should be spanked for that one..." stocking: oh~ Kid: "Should I...?" stocking: i-if you want~ Kid: (smirks, rubs along her backside...then gives a light spank) stocking: ah~! Kid: "How does it feel to be the *butt* of the joke...?" stocking:...........*she bursts out laughing* Kid: (blushing a bit) "Too corny?" stocking: its cute. like you~ Kid: (blushing) "Th-Thanks..." (hugs her) "Stocking? I love being with you, here in the bedroom or anywhere else. I love you." stocking: i love you too. *she smiles* Kid: "What now? Have something to eat? Get some sleep?" (smirks) "Or do we need another bath to clean up?" stocking: *yaaawn* Kid: "Sleep it is..." *Yawn, then kisses her shoulder* "Good night, Angel." -the next morning- Kid: (murmuring a bit in his sleep as he wakes up) stocking: morning handsome~ Kid: (smiles) "Morning, beautiful..." (strokes a hand along her cheek) stocking: you hungry? Kid: (nods) "This hotel has an excellent breakfast." ((I think this real-life hotel does serve breakfast--not sure what, though)) -later- tsugumi: aww, they're so cute. *she's feeding a deer* Kid: "Mmm..." Kid: (holding up food to deer) "P-Please? Don't slobber on me?" -it sniffs and nibbles the food- Kid: "G-Good deer..." Patty: "Hey, Bambi? Can I ride you?" liz: i dont think thats a good idea Patty: "Oh, come on--it's not like I can get arrested. We're like diplomats or something!" Police Officer: "You even attempt to ride that deer, and I'll lock you up for decades." (stares at Liz) "And you, too." liz: lets just go over here. *picks up patti and walks off* Patty: (slung over Liz's shoulder) "Bye, Officer! Don't tell customs how much stuff we're bringing home!" Kid: "Stocking? Look at this deer...She has a marking there..." stocking: oh? *she examines the mark* Kid: "Angel wings." stocking: woah. cool. *she takes a picture* -a buck ends up headbutting arthur in the crotch- Arthur: (shriek, as he then falls to the floor, clutching his Crown Jewels) Anya: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Patty: "Get ice! We must save his glorious baby-parts!" guard: we'd arrest him for attempting to ride the deer, but it looks like he's been punished enough. *cringes* shinra: *snaps a pick and chuckles* --Meanwhile, in Fire Brigade HQ-- Tamaki: "Hey, I got a text from Shinra--" Tamaki: o_O leonardo: what is it? Tamaki: (breaks out laughing) "Best. Day. Ever!" ("But now he'll never be a father...") -back in nara- Kid: "Well, while doctors tend to Arthur's...injury...I am interested to see the forest." Black Star: "Tsubaki! This deer is like the Will inside of you! He's not going to get all pissy at me, is he?" stocking: yeah. do you know what fashion trends are popular in nara? tsubaki: ^^; Kid: "Well, you cannot go wrong with an authentic Nara kimono. Care to visit some of the shops?" stocking: sure! --At one kimono shop-- Kid: (already dressed in a dark blue kimono) "Hmm...I am pleased it closes in the front, for the sake of symmetry." stocking: *in a purple and black kimono with a crane design* looks nice. tsubaki: *in a floral patterned green kimono* i think this will work. <thank you very much, ma'am.> Kid: (blushing at Stocking) Black Star: (in a bright blue kimono) "Ah, I can feel the wind between my legs...Neat!" soul: *he went for red* mami: it looks nice, chrona. *she went for a light blue with a flower petal design* Crona: (in black) "I-I hope so." Ragnarok: "Tch. Some color..." Ragnarok: (whistles at Mami) "Nice flowers." mami: ^^; Ragnarok: (smacks Crona) "Say she looks pretty!" Crona: (blushing) "M-M-Mami? You look...nice in that...kimono." (nervous smile) mami: *she smiles* thank you chrona. Crona: (sweating nervously) -later- Kid: "Nara really is beautiful...peaceful..." (holds Stocking's hand) "...intimate." stocking: *she smiles* Kid: "I suppose now is time for dinner." (sees some snow falling outside) "There's a Teppanyaki around that will warm us up." stocking: snow? already? y-yeah that sounds good. Kid: "Stocking? Are you okay?" stocking: yeah, just surprised from the snow. i thought it was like...summer now? my internal clock must be messed up. Kid: (blinks, looks outside again...then frowns) "Patty?!" Patty: (standing over window, sprinkling salt outside) "Had you going, huh, Kid?!" Kid: (slaps hand over his face) "My internal clock is worse than yours, Stocking." liz: *sigh* so what now? Kid: "Still up for dinner?" soul: sure. sayaka: yep! Black Star: "Yummy!" -and so- Patty: (clapping her hands for the chef's performance) "Bravo!" stocking: woah! Kid: "Impressive." Black Star: "Dinner and a show--good bargain." shinra; so what are we all getting? Kid: "I'm interested in the Kobe beef." soul: i'll try the okonomiyaki. Black Star: "One of everything." tsubaki: ^^; i'll have some udon. Patty: "Okonomiyaki!" sayaka: i'll have the okosana lunch. Crona: "Just udon." -after lunch- Black Star: "BuuuuuuUUUUUUUUrp!" stocking: yummy~! Kid: (pats napkin) "Delicious." homura: any idea on what to do next? Kid: "There are museums, shrines, shops, parks...What would everyone be interested in visiting?" liz: maybe check out some shops? Patty: "More souvenirs! I want to get a little deer figurine for Lord Death!" soul: i think i'll get some more postcards. Kid: "Father asked me to get him and Azusa new kimonos. I want to find something else for him." Black Star: "I'm going to help Arthur kidnap a deer." stocking: oh look at this! *its a small statue* tsubaki: black*star no! Patty: "Neat, Stocking! Buy it!" -later- Kid: "Do you think Father will like this? He hasn't played music in awhile, but I thought he'd appreciate this lute." liz: sure. Patty: "Maybe your dad will write some new songs. It's been awhile since he did that, too." stocking: he does that? Kid: "Yes. He has a really good singing voice." Kid: (smiles) "He used to sing me to sleep..." stocking: ah. Kid: "What did you buy, Stocking?" stocking: this fan. Kid: "Neat. Any writing on it?" stocking: just a picture of a mountain. Kid: (nods) "Liz? What did you buy?" liz: i got this. *a hair pin* Patty: "Cute!" (a thump emanates from Patty's suitcase...and she starts to sweat) liz: patti.....open the case. Patty: (sweating nervously as she opens--and a buck springs out, leaping over Liz and knocking Kid to the floor) Kid: "Omph!" liz: h-how?! Patty: "I just wanted one!" Kid: (clutching his chest) "Ow!" Deer: (breaks through paper walls, heads down the hall) -later, after the bail is paid- tsubaki: well, my home isnt too far from here. im sure my parents will let us spend the night. Kid: (large bandage over his chest, glaring at Patty) Patty: o_O "Nara prisoners are weird...One wanted to buy my kidneys..." sayaka: *healing* feel better kiddo? Kid: (nods) "Thank you." sayaka: C : tsubaki: <excuse me sir, could you take us to sunrise village?> Black Star: (carrying four persons' luggage) driver: ah, of course. -and so, they arrive in the village- Crona: "What's your home like, Tsubaki?" tsubaki: it's a rather rural area. Patty: "Are there deer?" Kid: (glares at Patty) tsubaki: occasionally. Black Star: "I hope your parents have enough room. Otherwise, we're stuck in close quarters." tsubaki: i think that's the estate now! Kid: (frowns) "I will have to offer recommendations to your parents for a redesign. It's not symmetrical at all--" tsubaki: *glare* Kid: (sweating) "I'll...wait for them to seek my invitation to advise." (hides behind Stocking) stocking: hehe~ Meme: "What are your parents like, Tsubaki?" tsubaki: well, they're nice i suppose. *sweatdrop* Anya: (noticing her nervousness) "Compared to, say, my parents?" tsubaki: i cant say for sure, i've never met your parents, anya. Anya: "Did they keep you locked in a castle for almost a decade, where your only source of entertainment was some sharp-toothed pianist with a sour disposition?" (glances at Soul) soul: *SWEATS* tsubaki: no! they're nothing like that! Anya: "Hmph. Good. I would hate to have parents more obsessed with rules than amusement." (smirks at Soul) soul: *huffs* Kid: "I just hope we get decent sleep. _We gave up an excellent hotel room all because one frustrating person--_" Patty: (glares) -they are now at the door to the property- Black Star: "Do we knock? Ring a bell? Throw a rock at the window?" servant: *tending to the garden* .... !!! <ah! lady tsubaki! you're home? i shall alert lord sanjuro at once!> Meme: " 'Lord Sanjuro'?" tsubaki: my father. servant 2: <you may enter> -they enter the building- Black Star: "Duuuuuude..." mrs nakatsukasa: ah, my child. *she hugs tsubaki* Anya: "Hmph. Quaint." tsubaki: *she hugs back* tsugumi: she looks just like an older tsubaki. Black Star: (blinks) "Oh, me? Um, yeah. I just tend to stick to the English." (holds out a hand) "Black Star, ma'am." mrs nakatsukasa: ah i see. well, make yourselves at home. my husband will be with you shortly. *she smiles* Kid: (bows) "We appreciate this, Lady Nakatsukasa. I am sorry for this imposition." (grabs Patty by the neck, pulling her down into a bow) Patty: *Ouchie!* soul: hmm? *he listens in* ???: <yes, ever since your son's passing, lady Oichi's mental state has...rapidly declined.> Mr. Nakatsukasa: <"I understand that. Please, we are trying our best--"> soul: ?? ???: <i know. even though their marriage was arranged, she loved him very much. now for my main concern. some of the servants who went into her quarters....they have not come back out. i've even heard screams at night.> Mr. Nakatsukasa: (almost to himself) "...It's happening again, isn't it?" mrs nakatsukasa: *knock knock* <sanjuro, tsubaki is here with her friends.> Mr. Nakatsukasa: <"Friends"? Hmmm...This may be advantageous...We will return to this in a moment. Excuse me...> --Sanjuro exits-- Sanjuro: (holds out arms to Tsubaki) tsubaki: ah! father! *she hugs him* tsugumi: um, he- *ahem* <hello sir.> *she bows* Kid: "Thank you again, Lord and Lady Nakatsukasa. We are most satisfied with the sleeping arrangements." tsugumi: *looking at pictures* ..... *she spots one, of two young children in yukatas* ... !!! ah! tsubaki: hmm? oh, that's a picture of my grandfather and his sister when they were children. Meme: "They look happy." tsugumi: i know who that girl is! mio: oh? Anya: "You do?" tsugumi: im not sure if i can believe it...n-no... this is definatly a picture of my grandma when she was young! Anya: o_o Meme: (gasp) "It's like a plot out of a tv drama!" tsubaki: now that i think of it, my grandfather did mention that he had a sister who left for the city... Anya and Meme: (clutching hands, crying) "A family reunion..." mio: you guys are weenies. -_-; ao: oh! so its similar to black*star and myself then? Black Star: "That's...an odd coincidence." -later- Patty: (holding up a family tree chart) "And that's how we know that we are all technically each other's cousin. Thus concludes my lecture. Thank you." Sanjuro: "...You have made some odd friends, Tsubaki." tsubaki: ^^; Black Star: "Don't judge us too severely, Mr. Tsubaki's Father--we're still some kickass warriors!" shinra: *looks at the line between the drawing of him and arthur, with a line pointing from arthur to shinra that says 'secretly has feelings for'* PATTI WHAT THE HECK!? Patty: "Well, why else do you obsess so much about him if you don't have bow-chika-wow-wow feelings for him?" shinra: THAT'S NOT HOW IT IS!! Patty: "But that's hot! Don't ruin this fantasy for me!" Sanjuro: o_o tsubaki: why dont we get some fresh air, father? ^^; Sanjuro: "Yes, let's..." (shudder) Patty: "???" mio: jealous, hepburn? Anya: *blushing* "A-About what?" mio: your boyfriend having the hots for a dude? Anya: "HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" (awkward silence) "Oh, go back to your girlfriend..." shinra: ok im confused now. Meme: (smiles, hugs Mio from behind) "Yeah, Mio, I'm confused, too." (smirks) "Who's your girlfriend?" shinra: w-wha?! i-i dont know what you're talking about! Meme: (still smirking) "I meant Mio's girlfriend. Or do you have one too, Shinra? Maybe you are cheating on Anya?" Anya: o_O mio: O////////////////////////////////////////////O *faints* ao: i think by 'anya's boyfriend', wakabe-san meant arthur. Meme: (holds Mio's limp body) "So cute." shinra: IT WAS ONE TIME ON ACCIDENT I WASNT GETTING OFF TO IRIS I SWEAR................. O________________O Anya: "I AM NOT DATING ARTHUR! I--" (hears Shinra) "WHAT THE HECK?!" soul: *laughing* way to dig your own grave kusakabe!! tsugumi: *GASPS* miss anya! language! Anya: (slaps hand over her mouth, practically crying in embarrassment) Black Star: "Dude, cursing in Mr. and Mrs. Tsubaki's Father and Mother's house? What is wrong with you, Princess?" sayaka: .................... i ship it. Crona: "Which ship? I've lost track..." -outside- tsubaki: it's been a while. Sanjuro: (looking at the sky) "Yes. Is it so different from how you remember it?" tsubaki: not by that much... do you think... i made the right choice about masamune? Sanjuro: "...I don't know. What do you think he would have done had you not...not...?" tsubaki:..... im not sure.... i dont think i want to know.... Sanjuro: (holds her hand) "He is still with you. Tell me, do you sense him, within your soul?" tsubaki:.... *she nods* just a little, but yes. Sanjuro: "Then he is still here. And that's going to have to be enough." tsubaki: *she nods* i could never tell oichi-nee.... she'd probably hate me... Sanjuro: "She...would not understand. It is not your fault..." tsubaki: *she hugs him* ........ Sanjuro: "Your mother and I love you, Tsubaki. A parent always loves their child..." tsubaki: *she smiles* Sanjuro: (pulls back) "You and your friends will need your sleep. How long will you be here?" tsubaki: we might be here for a day before moving on to the next stop on our class trip. Sanjuro: "Stay as long as you desire." (small laugh) "You have surrounded yourself with some real weirdos." tsubaki: and this isnt even all of them. Sanjuro: "Tell me, are students at the DWMA as loyal as those weirdos in there seem to be?" tsubaki: *she smiles and nod* as loyal as they get. Sanjuro: "That is all a parent needs to hear." (stands up) "Get some sleep, Tsubaki. And welcome home." -the next morning- Kid: *yawns* stocking: zzzzzz~ Kid: (reaches to check the time on his phone) "Hmm...Stocking?" stocking: *yaaawn* hnnn gwuuh? Kid: *Yawn* "It's almost 8. I thought Tsubaki's parents were serving breakfast..." *Yawn* "...at this time." stocking: ah, right! -at breakfast- Black Star: (holds up empty plate) "May I have seconds, please?" (wide grin) Kid: (smirk) "On our best behavior, are we?" tsubaki: ^^; mrs nakatsukasa: coming right up. *she smiles* Black Star: (smiles happily) "I see where Tsubaki gets her cooking expertise!

Kid: (sees the slide) "Want to?" stocking: oh hell yeah! Kid: (helps her out of pool, as they climb up to the slide) "Is it one at a time on the slide?" stocking: looks so.

Kid: "Has that happened to you before?" stocking:.......... *excalibur face* Kid: (sighs) "Something we have in common, then." stocking: ....... *bluuuuuuuuush* Kid: (kisses her forehead) "I can't wait to use the pool back at the Mansion.

Kid: (frowns) "Would you hate me if I was thinking about them, too, when you were with that child at the pool?" stocking:.... *bluuuuuuuuuush* Kid: (blushing, too) "I just...thought you looked natural dealing with a child..." stocking: really? i didnt really notice. Kid: "You seemed at ease. Have you...ever babysat?" stocking: nope. Kid: "Maybe...when we get home, we can try to babysit? It could make us used to parenting..." stocking: i guess. Kid: (smiles) "I think you will be a great mother." stocking: *she smiles* Kid: (lays a hand over her stomach, rubs lightly) stocking: *blush* Kid: (kisses lightly along her lips) stocking: mmm~ Kid: (slides hands along her sides, lifting up her shirt...) stocking: ahhh~ Kid: (pulls off her shirt, tossing it towards the door...)

You won't believe--" (shirt lands on head) stocking: O__________O Kid: D: Black Star: "Hey, what the--" (pulls off shirt...and gets an eyefull) "...Uh...Hi." stocking: ./////////. *trying to cover her chest* Kid: "WHY DO WE BOTHER TO LOCK DOORS WHEN YOU JUST KICK THEM DOWN?!" Kid: (summons cloak, covering Stocking) "GET OUT!" Black Star: "O-Okay!" (dashes away) Kid: "...I am so sorry." stocking: i was about to throw one of my swords at him.... Kid: "The next time we see him...Sigh...I'll call the hotel to have the door replaced. Or to have us moved." stocking: *she sighs* your cloak feels nice. Kid: (smiles, blushing) "I'm glad..." stocking: *she snuggles into his chest* Kid: "S-Stocking? We...have the door wide open. I love f-feeling you, but we should do something about t-the door..." homura: *sigh* let me. *in the blink of an eye, the door is fixed* you're welcome. Kid: o_o Kid: "W-Where were we?" stocking: *she kisses him on the lips* Kid: ("Oh...that's where we were...") (returns the kiss) -after a while, she falls asleep in his arms- Kid: (strokes her hair..."She will be a wonderful mother...a wonderful wife...") *Yawns* (carries her to their bed) stocking: zzzzzzzz Kid: "Good night, love..." (pulls sheets over them, letting his cloak remain over her, as he falls asleep by her side) -back at the harudori house- mio: zzzzz *drooling* Meme: (next to Mio, hugging her in her sleep) Anya: (tossing in sleep, groaning) "N-No..." tsugumi: hmm? a-anya? Anya: (wakes up) "S-Sorry...I can't sleep well." tsugumi: do you want some warm milk? that usually helps me feel better. Anya: (nods) -and so- tsugumi: here you go. Anya: (smiles) "You're very kind, Tsugumi." tsugumi: *she smiles* did you want to talk about what was bothering you? Anya: (frowns) "A lot has gone on the last few days...about what I want and...some jealousy." tsugumi: oh? Anya: "Of Arthur...and of your friends here in Kyoto..." tsugumi: ?? Anya: "I mean, you have your friends...and Ao. And Meme and Mio have each other. And I look at Arthur, and I feel...I feel...confused. tsugumi: confused? Anya: "...He is kind of attractive...but obnoxious. He has a...decent physical appearance. But his personality is aggravating. I feel repulsed by him...and...confused." tsugumi:..... C: Anya: -_- "Don't look at me like that. Just advise me: what should I do?" tsugumi: well, i guess you have an aesthetic crush on him. by that, its what you said; you think he's good looking. but if his personality is too much of a distraction, i wouldnt recommend it. Anya: (nods) "That makes sense. I will not be pursuing...But his body is still on my mind...Those abs...Unf." tsugumi: ......... C: Anya: (frowns) "That smile is really annoying...What do you do when you feel distracted?" tsugumi: what do you mean? Anya: "When you can't get an attractive person off your mind? What do you do to focus on anything else?" tsugumi:............................................*steam comes out of her ears* Anya: "Tsugumi! Wh-What's wrong?!" tsugumi: i-im ok. Anya: "O-Okay." (blushes) "Maybe we can discuss this another time...like not in your parents' house." tsugumi: good call. -the next morning- soul: so where to first? Black Star: "Dudes! Dudes! Manga museum! There is a manga museum in Kyoto!" Black Star: (sees Stocking--blushes, turns away) stocking: *glaaaare* sayaka: OHMYGOSHYEESSSSS Black Star: (hides behind Tsubaki) Kid: "So...Manga Museum?"

Meme: (chuckles) "Now you have more decorations for your bedroom." tsugumi: .////.;;; Anya: (slight smile, looking at the outfits in the manga) "Very decorative..." -later- Black Star: "All I'm saying is that, they have exhibits for Oda and the other big names--but none for Okuda? What the heck?" sayaka: *shrugs* oh well, maybe someday. Patty: (holding a stack of manga) "So much reading to do...Kid, let's get this stuff mailed when we get to the hotel!" stocking: well, my dad's now got some new stuff for his collection. Kid: (stares at Stocking's collection) o_O "Does your father have an entire room just for this collection?" stocking: i wish i was making this up. hell, its more like a library sized room. Patty: "Does he keep his manga in plastic bags so the value doesn't depreciate?" soul: and i thought sayaka was the mega-weeb. sayaka: ^^;;;; stocking: *shrugs* i doubt he'd be parting with it anytime soon. Kid: "At least I know what to get your father as a welcoming gift...Actually, when is his birthday?" stocking: he says its a secret to those outside the family. ask your dad, but i doubt he'd tell. Kid: (nods) "Understood. Well, the next time we have dinner with him, I'll get him something." stocking: *she smiles* Anya: (blushing) "Um...Could we...talk a walk at the cherry tree canal, the Philosopher's Walk?" tsugumi: that sounds nice. Meme: (nods) "Mio?" mio: s-sounds fine. Anya: (smiles) "G-Good." Arthur: (to Shinra) "What's up with them?" shinra: *shrug* Kid: "If we are going along the cherry blossoms, perhaps we should be in kimonos? It may make for good photography opportunities." stocking: sounds good! Kid: "Let's bring the souvenirs back to the hotel and change there. Tsugumi and others, we still have your kimonos there with our luggage, so you can change there, too." madoka: i here theres a park with monkeys in it someplace. tsugumi: ok! i already dropped most of my souvenirs off at my house. Crona: (slight smile) "Do you feed the monkeys, or just watch them, Madoka?" madoka: i think you get to play with them, according to the tour guide. Crona: "Th-That's good." Ragnarok: (pops up) "One monkey gives me a stink-eye, I'm kicking his ass!" mami: *tiny chop to raggy* no. Ragnarok: "Ouchie!" Kid: "Well, let's get to the hotel and change..." -students changing, please be patient- Kid: (adjusting his kimono) "Fashionable..." stocking: you look nice. *she smiles* Kid: (smiles at her) "As do you." -and so- Kid: (adjusting the camera at the tripod) "Move in a bit closer, everyone." liz: ok. say 'fuzzy pickles'! --Everyone but Black Star: "Fuzzy Pickles!"-- Black Star: " 'Fuzzy' what?" Kid: (snaps) liz: nice! -liz takes a few shots with her phone- Kid: (holding hands with Stocking in a photo) sayaka: *has a pic with madoka with peace signs and a smile* Black Star: (grabbing Soul in a bear hug) -a few photo ops later- Anya: (smiles at photos on her phone of Meme, Tsugumi, Ao, and Mio) mio: *frowns* stupid glasses shine.. Anya: ("My family never got out for these trips much...It's nice to be with friends.") "You look fine, Mio--stop complaining." Meme: "They make you look smart." mio: 7////7; Meme: ("So cute." smiles) Anya: "I'll text these pics to you, and to your emails..." madoka: ah! i think i see the monkey park now! Crona: (actually clapping) "Yay!" mami: that sounds like fun. Kid: "We still have more than enough room on the camera for more pictures." Patty: "Let's get going!" -and so- ao: they're so cute! Meme: "Hee hee hee..." Black Star: (staring at a monkey) "Hang on--I can totally beat this guy at a staring contest." tsubaki: *she smiles* Kid: (points) "Stocking, look! She has a baby." stocking: awww! --The baby monkey yawns-- stocking: hnnng! Kid: (looking at surprise at that noise) "Um...?" stocking: *blush* s-sorry... cute overload. Kid: (smiles) "I'm familiar with a cute overload...whenever I see you." stocking:... o///////o Kid: (kisses her forehead) stocking: hehe~ --Monkeys keep running around, as Patty and others snap pics-- Patty: "Could you monkeys just sit still?! I want a decent pic of you!" mio: um.....theres a monkey on my head. Meme: o_o homura:.... *snaps a pic* Patty: "Neato!" (photographs repeatedly) mio: 7///n///7 Anya: (chuckles) "Excellent..." mio: T-T Crona: (tries to offer a snack to the monkey atop Mio's head) monkey: *eats it* Crona: (smiles) "So cute. Aren't they, Mio?" mio: maybe... Crona: (holds out arms to the monkey to get them off Mio's head) monkey: *climbs on* mio: *she holds onto her glasses* Ragnarok: "Tch. Stupid monkey. I'm so much cuter..." staff member: ah, that's mochi-kun, he's very friendly. mochi-kun: *sticks tongue out at raggy* Crona: "Hee hee." Ragnarok: "RAWR! Stupid money! Stupid monkey! You poop-flinging jerk!" -later- Ragnarok: (pouting) "I still smell like monkey poop." mami: are you ok, chrona? Crona: (in their usual cloak) "Y-Yeah. I got most of it off my kimono...I will have to get it clean, though." mami: *smiles* Crona: "Mami? Thank you for being so kind." -elsewhere- Patty: "What's the pool like at the hotel, Stocking?" stocking: theres a slide. there's tubes where the fish swim through too. Patty: (smiles) "Neat! That should be fun! I was thinking of getting Black Star there..." -later- Kid: (tapping fingers) stocking: you ok? Kid: (smiles) "Yes. Just thinking how the photos came out...and what to do next." stocking: maybe we could check out harajuku? Kid: "I would like that. What will be there?" stocking: wait, we were there at the meiji shrine. then... how about osaka? Kid: "I would like that. Oh, what about the Namco Arcade?" stocking: yeah! Kid: "Hee hee..." (kisses her cheek) "You still haven't seen what a whiz I am at Mrs. Pac-Man." stocking: you're so on! Kid: "Like Donkey Kong?" stocking: wrong company, but yeah! Kid: "Hee hee..." (kisses her other cheek) stocking: ^^ Kid: (smiles) "That baby monkey...was adorable." stocking: it was. Kid: (rubs her hand) "Do you think...our kids would like video games?" stocking: maybe. Kid: "I hope they would...because their mother would be a great teacher." stocking: hehe~ Kid: "And their grandfathers would be such nerds to them." stocking: oh yes. Kid: (laughs) "Imagine Azusa as a grandmother." stocking:... oh boy. Kid: "She'd probably have them memorize multiplication charts at age 2." --Meanwhile, in Death City-- Azusa: (staring at an unopened home pregnancy test) "..." -back in the hotel- Kid: (rubs her hand) "I don't know what the future holds. But I hope we have children..." stocking: yeah me too. Kid: (quiet for a few moments...) "Are you hungry?" stocking: yeah. Kid: "Room service? Hotel restaurant? Or head somewhere else?" stocking: i dunno~ Kid: (opens the room service menu) "The hotel restaurant has some items room service doesn't...But room service is quite good." (points to the dessert menu...and then folds it out, revealing an even longer list) stocking: *squeeeeeee* Kid: (chuckles) "Room service, then?" stocking: hell. fucking. yes. Kid: (smiles at her) "Hell. Fucking. Okay." (kisses her nose) stocking: hehe~ Kid: (picks up the phone, as he puts a hand along her waist) "Room service? Please send up..." -later- Kid: (pats his stomach) "Satisfying." stocking: huehuehue~ Kid: (sees some whipped cream left on the plate, scoops it with his finger) "Say 'ah...'" stocking: aaah~ Kid: (passes his finger along her lips, waiting for her to lick the whipped cream) stocking: *she sucks on his finger for a few moments* Kid: o\\\\o "Delicious?" stocking: oh yes it is~ Kid: (chuckles, as he kisses her lips) stocking: mmmm~ Kid: (slips out of his jacket, still kissing, then wraps his arms around her) "I love you." stocking: i love you too, babe~ Kid: (smiles, kisses lightly along her neck) stocking: ahhh~ Kid: (whispers in her ear) "The door is repaired, and I had hotel staff reinforce the bolts...But as we are in the living room, should we retire to the bedroom?" stocking: sounds good~ -and so- stocking: *panting* Kid: (kissing her hip) "Was it good?" stocking: ahhh o-oh god yes...

(kisses her, as he strokes a finger along her slit) stocking: *she moans into the kiss, shuddering to his touch* Kid: (as she moans, he lets his tongue slide across her lips to touch her tongue...as he lets the tip of his finger slowly enter her) stocking: a-ahhhh~! Kid: "My Angel...Tell me what you want." stocking: p-please~ make me yours for the night. Kid: (smiles) "Of course...I have two surprises for you." stocking: o-oh? Kid: (slides his finger out of her, bringing it to his mouth to suck for a moment) "Delicious...I had room service bring something..." (turns, as he reaches under the bed...) stocking: oh~? Kid: (wiggles his bare butt at her a little before he comes back with Surprise #1) stocking: *drooling* Kid: (emerges...with a can of whipped cream) "I told the staff we would need another can for dessert."

Kid: (licks along her chin...as two of his fingers ease into her...) stocking: *she sighs in delight* Kid: (kisses down her neck until he reaches her right nipple...licks slowly as he quickens the pace of his fingers in her) stocking: ah-oh-oh kid!! Kid: (his other hand now teases that right nipple, as he licks her left nipple and maintains the pace inside of her) stocking: ahhhh~ Kid: (lets the tip of his tongue lick her nipple) "So tasty..." (massages her right breast) "What do you want stimulating you down there: my fingers, my tongue...?" stocking: y-your fingers feel good down there, but do what you like. Kid: (smiles) "Then why change a good thing?" (kisses into her neck, biting lightly there; his fingers continue to thrust into her, massaging her walls) stocking: nnnngh~ Kid: (licks where he bit...uses his free hand to spray whipped cream between her breasts) "Are you delicious, Stocking?" stocking: you tell me~ Kid: (smirks, as he licks between her breasts, scooping up the whipped cream...His lips are coated with the cream) "You certainly improve the flavor..." (brings his creamed lips to her lips) stocking: mmmn~ Kid: (his tongue reaches hers...now he has three fingers inside her, his pace now fast) stocking: *her hips buck in response* Kid: "You're almost there?" stocking: s-so close~ Kid: (smirks) "Why should I let you cum, Stocking?" (returns his mouth to her nipple, licking along the edges as he maintains his pace inside of her) stocking: nnnnh~!

Kid: (nods, kisses her forehead) "I will stop whenever you wish. You don't even have to say it--you can punch me if necessary...even kick me..." stocking:..... *she hugs him* Kid: "Thank you for sharing so much with me..." -the next morning- Kid: *Yawn* stocking: zzzz.... --Stocking's phone vibrates-- stocking: ?? *she picks up* yeah? *YAAAAWN* Patty: (text) hey i know what blackstar did to u and kiddo. then this happened at the pool last night (pic attached) stocking: ?? *she looks at the pic* --Black Star lost his trunks on the slide, with a view of his bare bottom while Liz can be seen in the back laughing-- stocking: *snicker* oh kiiiiddoooo~ looks like karma has taken place~! Kid: (yawn) "Wha--?" (eyes widen) "You know, of all the bare butts I wanted to see when I woke up, that one was at the bottom...so to speak." stocking: *she chuckles* aaand saved to blackmail. Kid: (smirks) "You're so bad..." (kisses her shoulder) stocking: hehe~ Kid: "...Stocking? I just want you to know that...Do you remember those pics of you, naked, that you texted me?" stocking: *bluuush* y-yeah? Kid: "I deleted them about a week after you sent them." stocking: why? Kid: (taps her phone's screen) "Would you want those pics getting used as blackmail, by someone who could hack my phone?" stocking:...... *she tears up* Kid: (sits up, holds her) "Stocking? What's wrong?" stocking: n-nothing... just remembering things from the past... Kid: (serious) "Stocking...Was this about those students who hurt you?" stocking:.... *she nods and silently cries* Kid: (holds her, stroking her hair) "I refuse to hurt you, Stocking. And I want to do everything possible to make sure no one hurts you..." (kisses her forehead) "Did you want me to keep those photos?" stocking:.... i-i understand what you're trying to do, and i appreciate it. Kid: "I appreciated those photos--you shared them with me, I valued them, and you looked so...enticing. But...we were just dating...I didn't know whether I should keep them. Did I do the wrong thing? Should I have kept them?" stocking: dont worry kid, i could always send you more. Kid: (smiles) "So don't delete those? You trust me not to let someone else get their hands on them?" stocking: you could save them to a disc drive or something. *shrugs* Kid: (laughs a little...then realizing something) "Do you still have that...'dick pic' I sent you?" stocking:....... C: Kid: (smirks) "If you send me a naked pic, then I should return the courtesy..." (pulls out his phone, removes the bedsheets from both of them, revealing he is already hard...and he snaps a pic) "And...send." (texts dick pic to only Stocking) stocking: *bluuush* i-im still a bit nervous though... Kid: "Then don't. Take your time, however long that takes. And consider that pic of me a freebie..." (kisses her cheek) "I hope you like it. Maybe you want a different one..." (hands her his phone to let her snap a pic) stocking: actually, i think i'll go for the real deal... *she bends down and licks the tip* Kid: (eyes roll back a bit) "Ah..." stocking: *she smirks and begins rubbing him off slowly* Kid: (nods) "Just like that..." (hums with pleasure) -she continues this for a while until she starts to slide it into her mouth* Kid: (letting his fingers go through her hair) "Your tongue..." (groans) "I'm so close, Stocking...Play with my testicles..." stocking: *she hums and rubs his balls* Kid: "Yes..." (guides her head to take in more of him) "So close..." stocking: *she snares her tongue around him* Kid: (gasps, grunts, as pre-cum develops) "I'm going--I'm going to..." (grunts as he begins to cum) stocking: *she laps it all up* Kid: (lies back on the bed, panting) "Your mouth is a treasure..." stocking: *she licks the last of it up* mmn~ Kid: (draws her up so that she straddles him, as he kisses her lips) stocking: *she slips her tongue into his mouth* Kid: (moans, his hands reaching for her buttcheeks) -later- Kid: (calm, relaxed, holding Stocking's hand) liz: well you two lovebirds are awfully close this morning. Kid: (smiles) "It's...a good morning." stocking: you got that right~ Kid: (blushing a bit) Kid: "Er...I think we were playing video games at the Namco Arcade today before we depart for our next city, yes?" mio: yes please! Meme: (smiles "So cute.") Patty: (shoveling another breakfast pastry in her mouth) "Let's get goin' then." Black Star: (frowns at Patty) Black Star: (pouts at Tsubaki) tsubaki: *sweatdrop* Kid: (smirks at Black Star) "Did you like the view, Tsubaki?" tsubaki: w-wha?! Patty: (practically choking on her own laughs) Kid: "I heard there was a...full moon last night." Black Star: (grinding his teeth) soul: come on man, lighten up. stocking: come on babe, be nice. he doesnt like being the.... 'butt' of the joke! Black Star: "THAT STUPID SLIDE SCREWED ME OVER!" (points at Soul) "No one saw you bare-ass naked out there!" -later- Black Star: "I'll just have to beat someone at a game...STOCKING! I CHALLENGE YOU TO ANY VIDEO GAME OUT THERE!" stocking: alright then. how abooout... this one? Black Star: "...What is it?" -it was bubble bobble- -and so- Black Star: "Fffffffffff...." stocking: hehe~ Kid: (applause for Stocking) Black Star: (marches to Tsubaki) "I am mortified..." tsubaki: *pap pap* Patty: (snaps a pic of Tsubaki encouraging Black Star) Kid: (kisses Stocking's cheek) "Congratulations." stocking: thanks hun~ Black Star: "Hmph. Come on, Tsubaki--let's play a game..." tsubaki: ok. Black Star: (plays Galaga) Patty: (grabs Liz's wrist) "DDR, Sis!" -later- Patty: (panting on the floor) "14 rounds was too many..." liz: phew. Kid: "Have fun, Love?" stocking: yeah. you're pretty good at those shooter games. Kid: (smiles) "Just an application of real life to the game. I don't suppose your father has arcade machines in his house?" stocking: try a whole room full. Kid: o_o; "...Impressive. No wonder you are so skilled." stocking: hehe~ Patty: (sitting up, still catching her breath) "Does...Does your dad let people play them? Or does he want the machines to be in mint condition?" stocking: thats part of an 'exclusive membership'. Patty: (frowns) "So, what do I have to do to be in this 'exclusive membership'? Is Kid in it?" stocking: i'll see if i can get you in~ Kid: (smiles) -later, in akihabara- Black Star: "What's in Akihabara?" mio: its essentially the manga and anime merch capital of japan. Black Star: o_o "YAHOO!" Kid: (whispers to Stocking) "Looks like he's forgotten about the pool mishap..." sayaka: look! there's a maid cafe! Anya: o\\\\o ("Squee!") stocking: *whispers to kid* i bet you want to see me dressed like a maid, dont you 'master'~? Kid: "..." (nosebleed x8) liz: !!! kid are you ok?! Kid: (slaps hankie over his nose) "J-Just humidity...Ha ha ha!" (blushing at Stocking) stocking: well, i could also be a nurse, or even a bunnygirl. Kid: (blushing, whispering) "...How would you respond if...when I was finding our new toys, I saw those outfits for sale?" Patty: "Ladies, I think we all should go to the maid cafe and dress up! And the boys, too!" -and so, everyone joined in on a cosplay photoshoot- Anya: "Too short..." (tugging at her skirt) shinra: *in a maid costume* ./////. Arthur: "How did you convince us to dress like this?!" tsubaki: *office lady style* oh. Black Star: (lifting up his skirt up and down, exposing his boxers) "Really comfortable, though..." soul: .///////////////. *dressed like a school girl* Patty: (sexy nurse) "Nice skirt, Soul!" (flips up his skirt) Kid: o\\\\o "...I'm a bunny girl...And these fishnet stockings are chaffing..." liz: *in a red dress* Meme: "Very pretty, Liz!" (dressed as a cowgirl) stocking: *nosebleed* *she's wearing a devil girl costume* mio: this is embarrasing.. why do i have to wear a stupid plugsuit? Meme: o\\\\o ("...I am so...um...") "It looks...fine, Mio." madoka: *just wearing a cardboard box over her clothes that says 'gundam'* eternal feather: *muffled speaking from her hello kitty mascot suit* homura: *in a rilakuma kigurumi* Crona: (dressed in shining knight's armor) "Um...Excelsior?" Arthur: -_- "Are you kidding me?!" mami: *she smiles* its cute. *she's cosplaying satsuki kiryuin in her normal mode* Crona: o_o Ragnarok: "...Wow." Kid: (hands cupping his crotch, given...how tight his outfit is) "...Can we just get these photos done already?" sayaka: ok. fuzzy pickles everyone! *cosplaying sailor mercury* --Everyone but Black Star: "Fuzzy Pickles!"-- Black Star: "...What?" -as the picture comes out- Kid: (looking at Stocking...and covering with his hands more) tsugumi: awesome! *she was dressed like a magical girl* Anya: "Hmph. Of course you pick a magical girl..." (blushing at her outfit...and Arthur's...) stocking: you look adorable kiddo~ Kid: "Th-Thanks?" Patty: (leans towards Shinra in her sexy nurse outfit) "Need someone to take your temperature, cutie?" shinra: .////.; Kid: "Um...Why is there a bill for 'costume purchases'? Who bought costumes?" sayaka:..... *raises hand* Patty: (raises hers--and Liz's) Anya: (keeps her hand down...the liar) liz: hey! Patty: "I bought yours for you, you ingrate!" sayaka: iiii bought everyone else’s. Meme: o_o ("Mio's plugsuit...") (passes out) mio: s-senpai get a hold of yourself!! homura:..... (thinking: you perverts.) Patty: "Hang on--I was in a nurse's outfit!" (slaps Meme's face) "Wake up!" -later- Meme: (sipping water) -a few days of the trip later and they were finally able to return home- Kid: (chuckling a little) liz: phew, finally back home. Kid: "Yes." (still laughing) liz: whats so funny? Kid: "N-Nothing." ("Good thing I shipped Stocking and my...'toys', or else getting through security would be awkward.") kirika: *she doesnt even look up from her handheld* yo. -mocha is sitting on top of her head- Patty: "Mocha! Kirika!" (runs over to hug them) kirika: geh! hey! jeez... so, ya guys get me anything? Kid: "A little bit of everything: some culture, some food, some games..." Patty: (holding up stuffed monkey toy) "Eek eek!" kirika: neato. liz: well, i'm gonna unpack, then im going to take a shower. kirika: *smirk* i know somethin you dont know~ Patty: "???" Kid: "What?" kirika: go ask pops. Kid: "He's here?" kirika: in the deathroom. Kid: "I'll walk over, then." -and so- Kid: "Father?" lord death: yes kiddo? whats up? Kid: (smiles) "We're back home..." (walks up, hugs him) lord death: *he hugs him* hey son! how was your trip? Kid: "Some surprises, but I feel like life is getting back to some stability. How were you and Azusa while we were gone?" lord death: *sweats and blushes* um.... Kid: " 'Um'...?" Azusa: "Sweetie, we have to--" (stops) Azusa: o_o "Kid! Um...Welcome!" lord death: *sweats more* y-yumi could you tell him? im too nervous! Kid: "...Hi? Um, Father was about to tell me something...Father? What were you going to say?" Azusa: "...Kid? Why don't you sit down?" Kid: (seats himself at chairs that Lord Death summons) "What is it?" lord death: *blushing* Azusa: "...Kid, do you...I mean, you know that we love you very much. Right?" lord death *he nods* Kid: "Yeeeeeees...Father, this isn't another secret that's going to make things awkward between us, is it?" lord death: of course not! it's gonna bring us together! Azusa: (nods) "We...got back from the doctor, and..." (starts crying a bit) "OH, jeez, this is harder than I thought..." Kid: (panicking) "You're not dying, are you?!" Azusa: (shakes her head, but still struggling to spit it out) "We're...I'm...p-pr-pregnant." Kid: "..." lord death: *blushes* --Meanwhile, at Gallows Mansion-- --EARTHQUAKE!-- liz: WHAT THE HECK?! Patty: (runs out of the bathroom in a towel) "What the hell?!" -meanwhile- cafe master: ??!?!? -meanwhile- gopher: EEEEIE!!! -back in the death room- Kid: (collapsed on the floor) lord death: o-o; Kid: "F-Father? Is that you?" lord death: hey kiddo, its gonna be ok. you're juuust fine. Kid: (remembers what just happened) "WHY DIDN'T YOU WEAR PROTECTION?!" Azusa: "Kid!" lord death: .///////////////////////////. Kid: "And birth control?! Why didn't you--" Azusa: (slaps Kid across the face) lord death: easy now. Kid: (stunned) Azusa: (furious, holding back tears...stands up and marches out of the room) lord death: now now everyone, lets just calm down and take it easy. Azusa: (turns back) "You two talk. I need to calm down." -lord death follows her- Azusa: (crying) "He hates me." lord death: now thats not true, he's just.... im sure he's just shocked. Azusa: "Are we doing the right thing? Did you...want another child?" lord death: *he hugs her* everything will be fine. it will all work out. Azusa: (trying to compose herself, even as she cries) "I'm fine..." (trying to push back) "Just hormones. That's all, right? Just...Just..." (puts her hand to her stomach...and cries) lord death: shhh. there there... would you like some tea to help calm down? Azusa: (a hand over her mouth, but she nods yes) -later- stocking: coming! *she opens the door* oh hey kid, whats up? Kid: (staring at his feet, looking paler than usual) stocking: kid?...come on in. i'll get you some coffee. --He stares at the coffee on the table-- Kid: "...I screwed up." stocking: whats wrong kid? -she sees the bruise on his cheek- stocking: !!! kid! you're hurt! Kid: "...Father and Yumi had news...I-I didn't take it well." stocking: whats wrong? Kid: "...They're having a baby." stocking: !! kid... Kid: (shakes his head) "I...was upset." stocking: i can understand, sorta. Kid: (crying) "I asked...why they didn't use birth control..." stocking: *she hugs him* ........... Kid: "She hates me." stocking: im sure that isnt true. Kid: "She slapped me in the face. I think that's proof..." stocking: !!!! Kid: (sobs) stocking:....... do you want to spend the night? Kid: "C-Can you call Liz and Patty to--to let them know?" stocking: o-ok... -later- Kid: (curled up, but not crying anymore) stocking: *she's stroking his head* Kid: "Why did I say that?" stocking: its not your fault, you just wanted them to be safe. Kid: "Or was I afraid of...being replaced" stocking: ...... you arent being replaced kid... Kid: "...I thought things were getting back to normal..." stocking: shhh..... Kid: "...How do I apologize?" stocking: ...... -the next morning- Kid: (sniffles, coughing, sneezes) "Super." stocking: you gonna be ok? Kid: (blows his nose) "Is there school today?" stocking: yeah.... *she puts a hand to his forehead* christ, you're burning up... Kid: "Ugh...I-I should go back to the Mansion..." (tries to stand...and buckles) stocking: *she catches him* you need rest mister. i'll have one of my dad's servants look after you. Kid: "O-Okay..." -at school- liz: ..... Patty: "Man..." -after school, stocking stays behind- Azusa: "Miss Pheles?" stocking: yes ma'am? Azusa: "...Hi. How are you?" stocking: i'm doing good Azusa: (nods) "Have you spoken with Kid?" stocking: yeah, he's resting at my place as we speak. Azusa: " 'Resting'? Yes, I heard he was ill..." (sighs) "I blame myself." stocking: ....i heard you and kid had a bit of a falling out, huh? Azusa: (nods) "His father...God. He's taking this worse than I am...Look, let's stop dancing around this: you know I'm pregnant with his child, yes?" stocking: *she nods* Azusa: (groans) "Of course he did...Sorry, I didn't mean anything by that: I just meant of course he would share with...well, his family." stocking: *blush* yeah... he's not angry at you. he's just.... *sigh* he worries about you guys. Azusa: (adjusts her glasses) "I appreciate his concern, just not how he expressed it...Could I...Do you think...I mean...*sigh* If I visited your apartment, would he be willing to speak with me?" stocking: well, he's really sick right now... Azusa: "Please?" (removes her glasses) "I really have to speak with him." stocking: *sigh*....ok. Azusa: "..." (hugs Stocking) -and so- Kid: (blows his nose) "Ugh..." stocking: kiiid! im back! i got some stuff for you. Kid: (smiles) "Thank you." stocking: *she opens the door* i see claude's gone home. Kid: (nods) "He was very considerate." stocking: oh, there's someone here to talk to you. Kid: "Oh?" (sees her) "Oh." Azusa: (enters) "Hello." (pulls a chair up to him, sits down) "You look awful." Kid: o_o; "Um...Hi." Azusa: (looks at Stocking--with shiny eyeglasses) stocking: *gives them a look that says 'patch this up you two'* Azusa: (frowns, turns back to Kid) Kid: (terrified of both of them) stocking: its ok kid. Azusa: "I will not apologize for slapping you: you were truly awful." Kid: D: stocking: miss azusa!! Azusa: (removes her glasses) "I will not have you or anyone else shame me for what I did or did not do. The fact is that your father and I have discussed having children for some time, we made a decision, and we pursued it." Kid: "...Okay." Azusa: "We had been trying for a year now." stocking: .... Azusa: "We were seeking advice from our doctors, checking on our health, trying various posit--" Kid: o_0 Azusa: (stoic) "...Anyway." stocking: 7-7; Azusa: "Your father and I love each other. We wanted a child. I am pregnant." (takes Kid's hand) "And you are our child...if you will let me be your...mother." Kid: "..." (sniffs loudly, cries a little) "That's all I want..." Azusa: (crying too, pulling Kid in for a hug) "Okay...Can we just pretend that you didn't say what you said, I didn't slap you, and we were just happy that I'm pregnant?" Kid: (laughs) "Yes." stocking: *she smiles* Azusa: (pulls back) "Good...because this pregnancy is already a nightmare. Do you have any idea what it is like having a shinigami inside of you?" stocking: .///////////////////////.;;;;;; Azusa: "...If I ask whether you two are using protection, will you slap me?" Kid: (shakes his head no) stocking: the worst i'll do is chop you on the head. Azusa: (smirks) "You'd hit a pregnant woman?" stocking: n-no! Azusa: (looks to Kid) "Feel better?" Kid: (shrugs) Azusa: (pats his head) "We'll make you some chicken soup, like my mother made." (stands up) "Come with me, Miss Pheles." stocking: yes ma'am. Kid: (still surprised, pulls out his phone, texts someone...) Azusa: "This recipe will need some spice..." (opens cabinet) "Do you have anything beside sugar?" stocking: i have cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla. Azusa: (groans) "Good thing I bought some while I was out..." (removes some cayenne and hot pepper) "If you are going to prepare a meal to remove a cold, you need spices." stocking: *cringes* y-yeah... Azusa: "Cut the chicken, steam it, and I'll prepare the noodles and spices..." (As she finishes with each spice, she sets it on Stocking's shelf) "Keep these spices and use them later." (eyeglasses flash at Stocking) stocking: suuuure ma'am. Azusa: "What was that?" stocking: of course! *she smiles* Azusa: "Good..." --The meal is completed and served to Kid-- Kid: (stares...the soup is bubbling) "Um..." Azusa: "Eat it." Kid: (chuckles nervously) "Maybe I should let it cool a bit--" Azusa: "EAT IT." Kid: (panics--practically eats it all in one spoonful...then his face turns red and fire explodes out of his mouth) stocking: o-o;;;;;;; we maaay have to work on your nurturing skills. Azusa: "What are you talking about? He's sleeping like a baby now." stocking: *looks at kid* Kid: x_x (passed out from heat exhaustion and slamming the back of his head against the bed's headboard) stocking: o-o;;;;;;;;;;;; -later- Kid: "I think my tastebuds all committed mass suicide..." stocking: *she rubs his back* Azusa: "I will leave you two to it..." (leans down, kisses Kid's forehead) "I love you." Kid: (blushing) "Y-Yeah. I love you, too." Azusa: (nods, smiles at Stocking) "Keep an eye on my child, Miss Pheles." stocking: see you later then. also, you can call me stocking outside school. Azusa: "..." (blushes) "Then call me...Yumi." (hurriedly) "Goodbye." (scampers, slams the door behind her) Kid: o_o stocking: *she chuckles* well then. that was.... something, huh? Kid: "Yes..." (stretches) "But that soup really did get rid of my cold. What did she put into it?" stocking: cayenne and hot pepper.... *gags a bit* Kid: (chuckles) "I think you may have to memorize that recipe, for my next cold...Stocking? Thank you." stocking: *sigh* its disgusting, but at least you feel better... and no problem, babe... Kid: "I'd kiss you, but I don't want you to catch whatever virus the soup didn't...or taste those spices..." (whispers) "But sometimes, a little spice is needed in a relationship..." stocking: *blush* y-yeah... Kid: (yawns) "I think I better get some more sleep..." stocking: yeah. i'll sleep on the couch tonight. Kid: (frowns) "I'm sorry..." stocking: its ok. you need your rest. Kid: "I'll make it up...(Yawn)...to you..." (closes his eyes) -next morning- Kid: *yawn* stocking: morning kid. feeling any better? Kid: (stretches) "Much. Thank you. I feel like 8 million dollars..." Kid: "How...was the couch?" stocking: decent. Kid: (frowns) "I will make it up to you." stocking: *she smiles and hugs him* Kid: (returns the hug) "I better shower." -at school- Kid: (squirming) stocking: you ok? Kid: (nods) "Just...haven't spoken with Father since..." stocking: want to speak with him after class? Kid: (nods) -later- Kid: "Father? I want to--" o_0 lord death: yes kiddo? Kid: (keep calm, keep calm keep calm keepcalm) "That's...a lot of books." lord death: why yes, some of these were from when your mama was having you. Kid: (picks one up...and sees her name inside it) "Yes..." (sits beside Lord Death) lord death: it's been a while, and i need to relearn everything. Kid: "You will. You'll do fine." (smiles) "I have confidence in you." lord death: *he smiles* and someday, if you and stocking ever decide to have little ones of your own, you can use these. Kid: (nods) "...I'm sorry." lord death: oh? for what? Kid: (tearing up a bit) "For insulting you and Yumi...I'm happy for you both. I just...reacted badly." lord death: shhh. there there. its quite alright. Kid: (hugs him...then laughs) "I'm going to be a big brother..." lord death: you sure are. Kid: "...How far along is Yumi?" lord death: we just found out recently. Kid: (sighs) "This is a big change, Father." lord death: i know. Kid: "But...You will be an excellent father...as always." lord death: *he smiles* Kid: (hugs him) "I love you, Father." lord death: i love you too, son. Kid: (smiles) "Father? Would I...be a good father?" lord death: im certain of it. Kid: (frowns) "I still have a long way to go, and I don't think I'm ready right now...but I have been thinking about children much more lately." stocking: yeah. say! maybe when the baby is born, we can babysit as practice? Kid: (smiles) "Would that be okay, Father? For us to babysit my future sibling?" lord death: why of course! Kid: (smiles at Stocking) "Babysitting...That's going to be a challenge." stocking: im sure we can manage. Kid: (nods) "Yes. Father, is there anything we can do right now to help you and Yumi?" -later- Kid: "What now?" stocking: not sure. Kid: "It has been a long day, so perhaps we should get or make dinner." -kid's phone rings- Kid: (picks it up) "Hello." nygus: kid, you're needed at the city gates, its an emergency! Kid: "We'll be right there!" (hangs up) "Stocking, to the city gates! Where are Liz and Patty?" liz: we're here. -and so- Patty: "What's going on, Naigus?" -at the city gates, a woman is standing there. she seems badly wounded- Kid: (trying to stay calm) "Where are the healers?" nygus: on their way. woman: i-im going to die.... Kid: (approaches the woman) "No, you are not...Stay with us." (to Naigus) "What medical care have you administered to her?" woman: does it matter? im going to die either way! i-i dont care what you do to me but....p-please... Kid: (to Naigus) "Administer care, now." (to the woman) "Please, let our first aid attend to you. What did you want to say?" woman: m-my baby! please! if anything, just save my baby! Kid: (eyes widen) "W-Where is your baby?" liz:...... k-kid.... look at her.... Kid: "...Oh." (to Naigus) "Get Stein and any OB-GYNs on retainer, now." woman: *she falls to her knees and coughs up a glowing yellow substance* nygus: jesus. GET A HAZMAT TEAM IN HERE, STAT! Kid: (trying to sense her soul...) "What on earth...?" -later- spirit: *sighs* the baby is fine, but.... there was nothing we could do for the mother. Kid: (can barely keep eye contact) "...We should have been able to..." nygus: she was infected with clown blood. spirit: aka, those freaky madness mutants asura summoned? Kid: (frowning) "...Asura did this to her?" spirit: either that or a clown... *he sighs* Kid: "...Spirit? Naigus? Can we use that substance from the woman to track a Clown?" spirit: sadly, no. Kid: (shakes his head) "There has to be...What will happen to the baby? Who will tend to them?" marie: i'll look after her. Kid: (nods) "Thank you...A child without a name..." marie:.... christa. that's what i'll call her. Kid: "...That's beautiful." marie: shh, its ok sweetie. Kid: "Marie? Is there anything you will need?" marie: i'm gonna need a place for the baby to sleep and stuff! !!!! yuuummiiiiii~ you know what this means? Yumi: "...Please, no..." marie: our babies, are gonna be besties! :D Yumi: (aggravated groan) "Super." -the next morning- Kid: (sitting before a book...) liz: what'cha reading there? Kid: "More so looking..." (It's a photo album of Kid as a baby, along with photographs with him and his father and mother) liz: *she nods and looks* you have you're mom's face....s-sorry. Kid: (smiles) "No, no, it's fine..." (rests a hand on that photo of his mother) liz:.....*frowns* Kid: "What's wrong?" liz: you were pretty lucky to have such a loving mother... Kid: "...Yes..." (rests a hand on her shoulder) "I want us to be that home for you, Liz..." liz: *she smiles and sighs* i cant..... what happened today... with that woman.... it keeps replaying in my head... Kid: (nods) "I am scared for Christa." liz: i think she's in good hands.... Kid: "I know...but when she learns about her mother..." liz: ................. *she rubs her stomach* ........... Kid: "Liz?" liz: ?? s-sorry... just remembering something... Kid: "Something you want to discuss?" liz:..... *sigh* a year before we met you, i- *she sighs*....... i had a child. Kid: "...Wow." liz: yeah.... but i wasnt able to take care of him and patti, so i had to give him up for adoption.... i must be such a shitty parent... Kid: "..." (pulls her in for a hug) "You provided a life for that child. You gave that child a home. What more can a parent do?" liz: i-i guess.... but sometimes i really miss him... Kid: "Do you wish you could meet him?" liz: *she nods* Kid: "...Have you ever contacted the adoption agency?" liz: *she shakes her head* Kid: "...I hope, in the future, when you are ready, that you do. I think you need...to know about your child." liz: yeah... Kid: "...I'm sorry. If I had known I..." liz: its fine kid. Kid: "..." (nods) liz: i feel a little better now. Kid: (smiles) "Liz...I hope you consider this place your home...and that...you find the family you want." liz: thank you kid.... for everything you've done for me and patti. *she hugs him* Kid: "And for everything you both have done for me, Father, Stocking...Yumi..." liz: *she smiles and falls asleep* Kid: (smirks. "It's morning, and she's asleep...I better carry her to her room...") -at school- Kid: (staring at nothing...) stocking: i take it liz caught your cold today? Kid: (frowns) "Something like that." Kid: (sighs) "She...had a difficult conversation with me." stocking: oh... is everything ok with you two? Patty: (realizing...and keeps quiet...) Kid: (smiles) "Yes, they are. Just...something that came up that is deeply personal to her from the past, and was difficult to discuss." stocking: oh..... i understand. Kid: "...Stocking? Can we start shopping for Yumi and Marie's children?" stocking: yeah! that sounds great! Kid: "Great!" (reaches down, slamming down a huge catalog) "I've been going through every baby catalog and--Just look at all the cute outfits!" stocking: woah. Kid: "Squee!" (blushes) "Um..." (clears his throat) stocking: well you seem excited. Kid: (shrugs) "Y-Yeah...Just excited to be working on a project that doesn't involve monsters, mass murderers, or someone walking in on us..." stocking: yeah, haha. *sweatdrop* Kid: (gasps) "A giraffe baby's onesie--!" Patty: (glares) "DIE..." stocking: easy girl. Patty: (fuming) "Giraffes must die...If you two ever dress your baby up like a giraffe, I'm reporting you to the cops." stocking: jeez. Patty: (pouts) "Fine. I won't call the cops on you...only because you'll probably be a great mother." stocking: ^^; Kid: (smiles) "Yes, she will..." (kisses her cheek) stocking: *bluuush* l-lets just get to class. Kid: (grunts as he lifts and carries the big-ass baby catalog) "Co-ming..." Patty: (helping him carry the book) "What's our first class?" stocking: *she checks her class schedule* hmmm... Kid: "Is it math? Literature? Home ec?" stocking: looks like math. Kid: "...Will you be okay with that?" stocking: *sigh* i've been getting better. Kid: (smiles) "And you'll keep getting better..." Patty: (holds up a graphing calculator) "Just need your little cheat-sheet..." stocking: ?? Patty: "Some of the tests don't allow calculators..." (hides the calculator, reveals her watch) "That's why this calculator watch helps! And no teacher has caught me yet! Ha ha ha!" stocking: oh my god. --Someone snatches Patty's wrist, ripping the watch off of her-- stocking: what the hell?! Azusa: (eyeglass flash) "No cheating in the classroom. You'll get your watch back at the end of the day..." (smiles at Stocking, Kid) "Good morning, Kid, Miss Pheles..." (walks into the classroom) stocking: busted. Patty: o_o "At least I didn't wear cheat-sheets under my clothes..." soul: *glaaaare* Patty: "...Hi, Soul! You wearing your sexy boxers today? And cheat-sheets? Please say 'yes'!" Kid: (facepalm) soul: ............ Patty: "Just sayin'." (clicks tongue, aims finger pistol at him) soul: *rolls eyes* -at lunch- soul: yeah, i think this will work. *puts some papers into his bag* Black Star: "What're you doing, Soul?" soul: just prepping for my job interview after school today. Black Star: "Job interview? Where?" soul: the Megalo-Mart. y'know, that big grocery store that opened up last year? Black Star: (nods) "Stipend not covering the bills?" soul: just trying to make a little extra cash. Black Star: (smiles) "So you can buy me a kickass birthday gift?!" soul: heh, maybe. blair said the experience might do me some good. Black Star: "You need a reference? I can write you the best letter, man." -a few days later- soul: morning guys. Kid: "Good morning. How are you, Soul?" soul: pretty good. Black Star: "How's the job?" soul: doing pretty good. they pay's decent enough, thought my coworkers are... rather interesting. Kid: "Oh? How so?" soul: well, you know that akabane kid from the ALT classes? he's working there too. there's also some other people.... and then..... *excalibur face* there's that dickbag, patrick. Black Star: "So, you've been stocking shelves with those jerks?" soul: well, most of the others seem pretty decent. for the most part. but that patrick guy.... just... eff that guy. Kid: "What do you have against Patrick?" soul: where do i even begin with this guy? first off, the guy smells like a literal toilet. he's a complete asshole to his coworkers and to the customers, he's just disgusting to look at, he's literally just horrible. Black Star: "What, he doesn't bathe or something?" soul: not that im aware of. that and.....his 'gas attack'.... *urk* makes me sick just thinking about it. Kid: o_o "Is...Is this even a real person?" soul: i have no idea anymore at this point. the only reason this guy hasnt been fired yet is cause....i heard he's mafia. Kid: (frowns, sighs) "No matter how we try, organized crime keeps a hold of this city..." soul: i'll keep you posted. -a week later- soul: fuck! Black Star: "Dude?" soul: its been a long week, and grossman's been getting worse. Black Star: "...Hey. Do you know how this guy gets home? Which route he takes?" soul: no, but i'm gonna have to tonight. my boss kiiinda asked me tooo 'take care of the mess' as it were. stocking: *whispers* contracted murder?! Kid: (chokes on his drink) soul: that's not all, this guy? he was supposed to have died 3 years ago. Kid: "...Is he a zombie?" soul: dont think so. more like some ghost with physical form. stocking: ghosts you say? well, i happen to be an expert on ghost hunting. i shall help you on this task~ Kid and Black Star: (look at each other) Black Star: "Um...You two okay on your own, or should we come with you?" soul: we could use back up. -that night- Kid: (watching) soul: ok, he's walkin home, tread slowly. Black Star: (in a fedora and a trenchcoat) "How come I'm the only one who wore a disguise?" stocking: *throws out the fedora and gives him a sunhat* Black Star: "Hey!" stocking: shh. soul: ok move. Kid: (nods, follows) -they arrive at a house- Kid: (looks at the address) soul: ok. there looks like a tree leading to the attic. stocking: allow me. *she summons her wings and flies up to the window, cutting it open and entering, tossing a rope ladder down* Kid: (smiles) "My angel..." soul: ok. -they climb up- Black Star: (picking up the rear) soul: ok, now what? Kid: "I'm not sure I can sense this Patrick...I sense a few other souls around here..." stocking: *she looks around* there's a toolbox. be ready to arm yourselves. Kid: (frowns) "Why didn't I bring Liz and Patty...It's not like my clothes turn into weapons..." soul: here. *hands him a screw driver* this should help for now. Kid: "A screwdriver. Oh, joy." Black Star: (pulls out a wooden mallet) -so they sneak down, to where grossman is gorging on something- Kid: (grimacing at the sound, whispers to Stocking) "Since when do ghosts eat?" stocking: unless he was given physical form.... which i think is the case... Black Star: "A ghost in a skin-bag? Weird...What is he eating?" stocking: not sure.... ugh, the smell is awful.. Kid: (smells) "Ugh...Is it meat?" grossman: *BRRRRAP* ugh.. what the hell? stocking: ......... !!!!!! *she tenses up* Kid: (stands alongside Stocking) grossman: wait a sec, aint you that bitch from the private school? yeah, i think you are. stocking:........... grossman: dont give me that look you slut, you know you loved every fucking second of it. Kid: (inhales) "Stocking...Is he..." stocking: ........... *she nods silently* Kid: "...Soul? Black Star? Block the exits." grossman: i kept the pictures, gott'em riiiight here. soul: y-yeah.... grossman: why dun i refresh your memory sweetcheeks? stocking: !!! \make him suffer\ Kid: (already behind Grossman, slams his fist into the back of his neck) grossman: gahk! what the he- Kid: (kicks into Grossman's back, intending to stomp his foot down to pin him...) grossman: agh! the hell're ya doin you shi- Kid: (shoves his foot down, pinning Grossman) "Retribution must be doled out." (looks to Stocking) "What should be done with him?" stocking:....... hell's too good for you. *she slams her swords into grossman, until he's cut up to shreds. her expression doesnt change* Kid: (and seeing her attack...something returns to Kid's eyes: shock) "Stocking?!" stocking: *she then cuts grossman's soul in half, causing it to fade*............................... Kid: "Stocking?! What have you done?" stocking:.............*the house vanishes, leaving an empty lot* i want........to go home now..........*she falls to her knees* Kid: "..." (leans down, and holds her) "Okay..." -later- stocking:....................................... Kid: "Stocking?" stocking:........ *trembling* Kid: "Stocking, I'm sorry." stocking: its not.....y-your fault.....am i a bad person? Kid: "...If it were me, I would have done the same. I am pretty sure I would." stocking:...... t-thanks for burning those pictures.... Kid: "Of course." (hugs her) "Stocking, I will always love you.” stocking:...... i just wanted him gone..... Kid: (nods) stocking: ............ -the next day- soul: well, work's doing much better now. Kid: "...Good." stocking:..... im glad.... i'll have to come in.... Kid: (nods) -a few days later- Kid: "..." stocking: you ok? Kid: (forces a smile) "Yes. You?" stocking: kid. i can tell when you're faking it. whats wrong? Kid: "...You destroyed his soul...and it made me remember..." soul: ??? Kid: "...Do you know what I did in the Book?" stocking: ??? Kid: "...Pandora made me see a vision of you...and I-I-I..." stocking:........ *she hugs him* Kid: "I wrapped my hands around your neck...and I killed you..." stocking:................ Kid: "So when I expressed shock that you killed that man...I understand why you did it...and I have no reason to judge when...when...I am willing to destroy absolutely everyone. And that scares me." (looks at her) "I was scared of you when you killed him." stocking:...................... Kid: "I'm sorry. I just have never seen you look like that before." stocking: i... i felt like i wasnt in control of myself... Kid: "Neither was I...which I think, in some very depressing way, means that my experience in that...hell has made me understand parts of myself..." (moves Stocking's hand to his heart) "I am not any one thing...I am not fully evil or good. I am only me." stocking:....... *she leans into him* Kid: "I'm sorry, Stocking..." (holding back tears) "I'm sorry for what you have been through." stocking: at least....he wont bother me ever again.... Kid: (nods) "Yes...How do you feel?" stocking: scared... but i feel safe with you... Kid: "Likewise...I love you." stocking: i love you too kid. Kid: "...I think...we could both benefit from talking about this...with someone..." stocking: maybe a therapy session? not like couple's therapy, more like one does one session then the other does the other session right after? Kid: (nods) "I want that." -after therapy- stocking: feeling any better? Kid: (smiles) "Yes. You?" stocking: yeah... so what now? Kid: (holds her hand) "I would like to get something for Christa...and that can help for buying for Yumi and Father, too." stocking: sure. mall? Kid: "???" -the store reads: Bundlebug- Kid: "Bundlebug? Odd name..." stocking: its a baby clothes store. Kid: (looks in the window...and squees) "Such tiny clothes!" stocking: *she smiles as they enter.* Kid: (holding up a dinosaur baby t-shirt, smiling widely) stocking: how cute! oh! look at this one! *its a duck onesie* Kid: "Adorable!" (holds up a stuffed tanuki doll, assumes a gruff voice) " 'Hello there, Baby! I'm a tanuki!'" stocking: *snickering* clerk: ah, excited about being parents are we? Kid: (blushing) "Oh, we're not--I mean, I'm not pregnant--I mean--! She's not--!" stocking: its for our teachers. Kid: (nods) Kid: "One of them is my step-mother--I mean, she's not married to my father, but--Um..." clerk: ah, i see. those kigurumi style onesies are really popular, we also carry styles in other animals, like rabbits, cats, elephants, you name it! Kid: "Stocking, which do you think for Christa? Maybe the rabbit?" stocking: oh this puppy one is adorable! Kid: "Oh, I think that should be the one to get her!" stocking: ^w^ Kid: (gathers a few more baby items for Christa) "We'll be taking these, please." clerk: alright then. Kid: "Anything else to buy, Stocking?" stocking: maybe some things for yumi's baby? Kid: (nods) "If we got a puppy one for Christa...maybe a cat one for my little sibling?" stocking: *she nods* Kid: "And I think the baby will need some toys..." (picks up a giraffe stuffed animal) "Um...maybe not that one..." stocking: hmm. how about this? *is a little panda* Kid: "Yes!" stocking: hehe~ Kid: (picks a few more outfits) "So cute..." -later- Kid: (giddy smile) stocking: you seem excited. Kid: "Just...pleased to get something for Christa and Baby Death." stocking: yeah. Kid: "St-Stocking? I...was wondering..." stocking: hmm? Kid: "We're...past 18 years old now, yes?" stocking: i think so. Kid: "But...do you feel like we are adults? Like, mature, independent persons?" stocking: i think so. Kid: "...But how do you know? I worry that I'm not very mature." stocking: lets just take it a day at a time. Kid: (nods) "Okay." Kid: (holds her hand) "I think you are mature..." stocking: *she smiles* Kid: "I guess I'm still thinking about children...It feels like maturity would be the state of being able to tend to a child. I'm not sure when I'll be ready for that." stocking: *she holds his hand* its always good to get in some practice. Kid: (nods) "I wonder how Marie and Christa are doing...It may help to see a parent in action." stocking: want to visit them? Kid: "Yes." -and so- -dindon- marie: oh, hey kid, stocking, come in! Spirit: (playing peek-a-boo with Christa) "Where's Uncle Spirit? Here he is!" christa: :D Spirit: "Where's Uncle Spirit? Here he is!" (giggles at Christa) "So cute." Spirit: (spots the guests...) "Oh, Kid, Stocking, hello! How are you?" stocking: i see you've made friends with her pretty quick. Spirit: (smiles) "Yes...She is so happy." stocking: *she smiles* hey there, look what i got you~ Kid: (shows some clothes to Marie) marie: awwww they're so cuuute! Spirit: (holding Christa) "Look, Christa--isn't that a cute doll your Aunt Stocking got you?" christa: magu magu! Spirit: "Yes, Christa--tanuki!" christa: *she hugs it tightly* ^w^ Kid: "How is Christa, Marie?" marie: she's been doing well. spirit's been visiting a lot. Kid: (sad smile) "Yeah?" ("...A father who wants to be a father again...") marie: yeah. Kid: "What's it like, Marie, to tend to a baby?" marie: well, its a lot of work, but its more than worth it. Kid: (nods) "I imagine that is what Father and Yumi feel." marie: yeah. Kid: "How have Christa's doctors' visits gone?" marie: they've gone well. she's in pretty good health. she doesnt seem to be infected with clown blood. Kid: (frowns) "I...worry when Christa is old enough to learn..." marie: i worry too... christa: *crying* Spirit: "Marie, where's Christa's formula?" marie: its on the counter! Spirit: "Thanks!" (puts the bottle to Christa...) Kid: (studies how Spirit is feeding, noticing the angle and paying attention to Christa's breathing and speed of consumption) christa:  :D -when she finishes, she hiccups and giggles- Kid: "So cute..." Spirit: (patting Christa's back to burp her) Spirit: "Stocking? Did you want to hold Christa?" stocking: eh? well, i guess its ok. *she holds her* like this? Spirit: "Support her head a bit more..." stocking: ok. *she does so* is this better? Spirit: (nods) "You're a natural." Kid: (blushing as he watches Stocking) christa: *tired crying* stocking: shhh, its ok... *she rocks the baby and hums* Spirit: (crosses his arms, nods approvingly) -soon, the baby is put back in her crib.- stocking: the nursery looks really good. marie: thanks to gen and sid, yeah. Kid: (nods) "I'm happy how much DWMA members help each other..." marie: we're like a family, in a way. Kid: (holds Stocking's hand) "Yes... -later- Kid: (sighs) liz: you ok, kid? Kid: "Yes. Just thinking about...children." liz: ah..... Kid: "Yeah...Stocking and I met with Marie and Christa today." liz: how are they? Kid: "Well. Marie has kept Christa healthy and happy as any baby can be..." liz: thats good to know. Kid: "..." ("Do I ask her, or let it drop? I just can't believe she's a parent...I wonder where her child is now...") -that night- lord death: hey kiddos, how's it going? kirika: eh. Kid: (smiles) "Father! Hello!" Patty: "Hey, Lord D!" lord death: so how are you all doing? kirika: same as usual. mocha: mrow. liz: alright. Patty: " 'Kay." Kid: "Better. How are you and Yumi?" lord death: quite excellent. *he smiles* actually, much more than excellent. Kid: "Oh?" lord death:.... *bluuush* oh no! im too nervous! come on LD, keep your cool. Kid: "Father, just tell us. You have a receptive audience." lord death: *inhales* yumi and i are getting married! liz: whu-whu-WHA!? kirika: about goddamn time. Kid: (smiles) "Congratulations!" Patty: (raises hand) "Flower girl, right here!" lord death: *blushing+flustered reaper noises* Kid: "How did you propose to Yumi?" lord death: *sweats* Kid: "Well, she obviously accepted. So, how did she react? Where is she?" -meanwhile at marie's place- marie: *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* Yumi: "Please, don't deafen me--I am pregnant." marie: sorry, but ohmygosh im so happy for you!! Yumi: (smiles) "Thank you." (hugs her) "I...have not felt this happy in a long time." marie: *she pulls out a big, big book* well i've been keeping notes from watching wedding shows on TLC so... Yumi: o_o; "Please tell me you do not watch Bridezilla..." marie: naawwww, i have seen stuff like 'say yes to the dress' and stuff. Yumi: "Okay..." (pats her stomach) "I hope we can find one, seeing as I'll be...bigger." marie: C: Yumi: "Do they make maternity wedding dresses?" marie: we can get it custom~! Yumi: "...When can we try out dresses?" marie: first thing tomorrow! Yumi: (smiles, blushes) -the next day- Patty: "What's on the agenda today, Sis?" liz: well yumi asked us to help her pick out a wedding dress. Yumi: "..." lord death: are you alright? Yumi: (adjusts her glasses) "Fine, thank you. Just thinking how much work is ahead of us." (picks up a heavy book effortlessly, then lets go--and it slams hard. It is labelled "Wedding Plans") lord death: ooh! *he puts on his glasses* Yumi: "Yes, I spent most of yesterday afternoon making checklists of what we will need and preliminary plans for where to host the wedding..." (opens the book, revealing thorough, complicated lists of all details) "This is only a rough draft, so I apologize at how unprofessional it may look." (There are also charts, diagrams, illustrations, and photographs) (As well as the dietary needs of most of their likely wedding guests.) lord death: this is quite detailed. if i didnt know any better, i'd think kid wrote all this. no offence, dear. Yumi: (smiles) "I take that as a compliment." (shows an example seating chart) "I imagine as head of the DWMA, you will want to invite everyone. However, given the sheer size of the organization, I am concerned whether there is a venue that could actually house all members." lord death: perhaps, but considering how the death room can expand in size, i think it could be possible to squeeze everyone in here. Yumi: "Excellent." (kisses him on the lips) "You are excellent at changing sizes." lord death: *blush+steam* Yumi: (organizes papers) "Well, I have an appointment with Marie and others to pick out a dress. When will you be measured for your tux?" lord death: soon possibly~ Yumi: (frowns) "Do not procrastinate. I do not want you at our wedding in a T-shirt and shorts." lord death: worry not dearest. *he kisses her forehead* this is something i will take very seriously. Yumi: (smiles) "Excellent. Well, I will see you later this afternoon. Goodbye." (turns to depart) -later- Yumi: (overly ruffled dress that someone picked out for her) "...I look like a baby doll." stocking: hmmm. yeah, that really doesnt seem to work for you. Patty: (frowns) "I thought it'd be cute! Marie, what would you have Yumi wear?" marie: well, i think perhaps something sleek, maybe a mermaid style? Yumi: "Well...that could be good." Patty: "So, like, a mermaid tail and fins?" liz: i think she means like this. *she shows a pic from a magazine* Patty: "...Can we still dress up Azusa like a mermaid?" stocking: *sweatdrop* Yumi: "...I will go change now. Please keep her under control..." --One costume change later-- Yumi: (enters) "So..." marie: eee! its perfect! Yumi: (blushing) "Is it?" Yumi: "I mean, you said that about a lot of dresses, Marie..." liz: yeah, but this one really suits you. Patty: (thumbs up) Yumi: "...Will he like it?" stocking: why dont we ask~? Yumi: (blushes, waves hands) "No, no, no! The husband-to-be is not supposed to see the bride in her dress before the wedding!" stocking: ah! you're right! sorry~ but yeah, i think he's going to like it. Yumi: "...I will buy it, then." (assumes professional demeanor) "Marie, as my bridesmaid, I will need your help: I will require something borrowed, something new, and something blue." Patty: (opens mouth, pulls out a wad of blue bubblegum) "I got the blue!" liz: the dress is new, so dont you mean something old? Yumi: "Ugh, I am stressing out over this..." liz: its ok, everything’s gonna work out at the end. Yumi: "No, not until I have everything in order. I still have not finished the seating chart, the meal options, the proper flowers, the honeymoon, the music--" (stands still--then puts a hand on her stomach) "And...this one." marie: thats why you have us. *she smiles* liz: (thinking: she really is like kid...) Yumi: "..." (sniffs, holds back tears, stands up straight) "Thank you. Please let staff know I will buying this dress. I will pay for it with my account. Let me just change..." Patty: "Hey! We still need to try out our outfits! What color should we wear for our bridesmaid outfits?" liz: hmm... well, 'something blue', am i right? Yumi: (calling from inside the changing room) "Yes, that is the slogan. Do you think we can find a blue that looks good?" -and so- Yumi: "Hmmm..." liz: well? how does it look? Yumi: "Hmmm...Good shade...Very attractive on you, Elizabeth." liz: thank you. marie: blue like a clean soul~ Patty: (tugs at the dress) "What do you think, Stocking?" stocking: i think it looks really nice! Patty: "I'm not a big fan of blue. I was hoping for something with sequins and blinking lights." liz: *sweatdrop* Yumi: (puts a hand on Patty's dress) "It looks wonderful on you, Patricia. Could you please wear it? For me?" Patty: (frowns) "Fine..." Yumi: "Anything else we need, Marie?" -later- Kid: "I wonder how Stocking and the others did today..." liz: we're hoooome! we got the dresses taken care of. Kid: "Ah, welcome home! How do you like the dresses?" stocking: they're great, but you're just gonna have to wait to see them~ Kid: (smirks) "I was afraid you would say that..." (reveals a covered dish--removes the cover to reveal...) "I had the chefs create this decadent chocolate cupcake, with the finest frosting possible...but if you won't show me the dress..." (covers it) "I'll give it to someone else..." Patty: "Oh, that's cold, Kiddo." stocking: Q~Q \depriving her of the sweets she loves? you're such a terrible boyfriend. she probably hates you now~\ Kid: (hums as he walks away, trying to ignore the madness in his head... "I can hear you, but I'm not listening...") (...then Kid looks over his shoulder to see whether Stocking took the bait...) Kid: ("I mean, I'm only teasing her...right?") stocking: *she's eating it* Kid: o_O "THAT WAS MY BARGAINING CHIP! How did--I mean, I was holding the plate, so how did you steal from it?!" Kid: (uncovers the dish...and Patty is under it.) Patty: (waves) liz: o____________o how the.... you know... at this point its the norm for her.... Patty: "Yep! I am beyond your comprehension!" Kid: (pouts) "So now I'm going to have to wait until the wedding to see you in that dress?" stocking: kiddo, kiddo, kiddo~ when will you learn? nothing, and i mean nothing, comes between me and my sweets~. also yes. Kid: (frowns) "Darn." (walks by her) "I'll just have to wait to see you in that dress..." (whispers in her ear) "and get you out of it..." stocking:.......... *stoic face+nosebleed* Patty: "Stop doing that to the poor girl! We can't afford more blood donations!" liz: -_-; Kid: (wiping Stocking's nose) "But isn't she just adorable like that?" stocking: what? bleeding from the nose? *she paps his head* how meeeean! Kid: "Ouch!" (pouts, rubs his head) "I meant that stoic look on your face..." stocking: ................. *she tugs his cheeks* Kid: "Hey!" (grabs her face and tugs) "How do you like that?!" stocking: ah! *she whimpers* \see what you have done? you've gone and upset her! you disgusting, abusive, pig\ Kid: (covers his mouth) "Oh, no...Stocking, I'm sorry!" (approaches her) stocking?: *smiles* drop dead you bastard~ Kid: "...What?" -stockings begin crawling out of the floor and grabbing onto him- 'go die' 'i hate you!' 'kill yourself' 'disgusting' 'worthless' 'scumbag!' Kid: "This isn't happening..." (doesn't move) "This is just a hallucination...This is just a dream. Yes? Right?" (laughs nervously...then screams in panic) liz: kid?!? Patty: "He's shaking! Is he having a seizure?" Kid: (cowering) "Don't move...I could hurt someone..." stocking?: theres a knife in the kitchen.... get to work. i'll forgive you when your dead~ Kid: "...Okay..." (stands up, and walks towards the kitchen...) stocking: ??? *she follows kid* Kid: (approaches the knife drawer, removes a knife...) stocking: KID WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! *she runs and tackles him, knocking the knife away* Kid: "I just was doing what was asked! I thought if I took the knife, that you would tell me that was enough!" (crying a little) "Wasn't that enough?" stocking: why would you even do something like that? Kid: (crying) "I don't know..." Patty: (takes the knife away, placing it back into the drawer..."Better lock this...") stocking: kid. look at me... im not angry with you... Kid: "...I didn't know what to do...I needed to do something to wake up from the dream...and I thought...if I took the knife, something--someone would stop me..." stocking: ........... *she kisses him* im here now.... ok? Kid: (whimpers, holds her) -later, she lays next to kid in bed. they decided not to tell yumi and lord death of the incident- Kid: "...Thank you." stocking: no problem kid.... i love you, ok? no matter what the voices in your head tell you, i love you. Kid: "...I want to get better. It's not fair to you..." stocking: ......... *she strokes his back and head* Kid: "I want to purge those voices...It's just not fair to everyone else..." stocking: i know.... but we're here for you. Kid: (nods) "I believe that..." (turns over, hugs her) stocking: do you....w-want to put you face in my chest?....sorry.... Kid: (blushes a little, nods...approaches her) stocking: *she pulls him in close* you ok? Kid: (nods) "Better...I'm sorry to repeat myself, but I want to get better...You don't deserve to have to deal with someone like...me." stocking: ...... *she kisses his forehead* Kid: (holds her...slowly falls asleep) stocking: i love you kid. Kid: (Yawns) "I love you, t...Zzz..." stocking:...... *she smiles and slowly drifts off*
