#I really hope kou gets his memories

[elizabethzoopzoop986]

Quick question for those who understand the lore more than me:

Who gets to remember things in the new time? Like i know it’s probably just like the main cast but seriously Akane says here:

But I feel like on this logic Nene shouldn’t be able to remember because in this timeline she shouldn’t have any super natural connections. So why can she? And on that note why can Nene see LET ALONE touch supernaturals in this timeline?

I mean I get she’s the main character so therefore she’s kinda gotta but still it doesn’t really make much sense. Like on Akane logic because Amane doesn’t have any supernatural powers in the new tl he shouldn’t remember but he seems to??

Honestly idk pls give me answers

[slayfics]

Hello! I'm just so inlove with your writings, especially the Muichiro's mansion series! I know that you probably have a lot of requests- but if it's okay I would like to request when Muichiro's tsugoku (the reader) visits him at the butterfly estate after the fight with Gyokko? Take your time please I don't want to rush you! :)

You visit Muichiro at the Butterfly Mansion after his battle with Gyokko.

It seemed to take forever but finally, Shinobu had left on her nightly patrol and the other Butterfly Girls were exhausted from helping the injured Demon Slayers all day. This gave you the perfect time to slip into the room where Muichiro was staying.

You had been trying all day to sneak in and see him but were always stopped by someone who yelled about giving him space to rest. You understood that he needed rest, but didn't they understand how badly you needed to see him?

Just a peak at him being alive and breathing was all you needed to finally get some rest of your own. You hadn't slept for a second since you had heard what was going on in Swordsmith Village.

You quietly crept into the room hoping not to wake him if he was indeed asleep. To your surprise, his eyes were wide open and they immediately flashed to you once you entered the room.

You slid the door closed and came closer to the bed.

"I'm sorry did I wake you?" You asked.

"No..." He rubbed his eyes, "You came to visit me?"

"Of course, I have been trying all day to see you but Miss Kocho was a bit strict," you explained.

"I see," he said, eyes hazy. He must have been drowsy from whatever medicine he had been given but it seemed he was fighting sleep.

"You look exhausted Tokito, I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb you I just... really wanted to see for myself you were alright. I was so worried. I'll let you rest now though." You said and turned to leave the room.

"No!" He said, hastily. "You didn't disturb me. I'm glad you came, will you please stay?" he said. You were taken aback by the Hashira's request and studying his expression further, something appeared to be off with him.

"You are alright aren't you?" You asked, concerned about the Hashira's downcast appearance.

"I- I remember everything now... from my past. I seem to have uncovered my memories."

"That is amazing, Tokito!" You cried out. "What do you remember? What was your past like?"

Muichiro didn't respond, instead, he turned to the other side of the bed facing away from you. A few silent moments passed. You weren't sure if you should leave or not, you began to slowly shuffle out of the room when barely above a whisper Muichiro asked, "Will you hold me?"

Concern overwhelmed you for the Hashira but you wasted no time crawling into the bed and wrapping your arm around him. You made sure to be gentle to not upset any of his injuries. Upon placing your arm around him you realized the rapid rise and fall of his chest and silent tears that damped the bed.

Mucichiro was crying. You held him a bit tighter, as tight as you felt comfortable doing with his injuries. Suddenly you felt foolish for asking about his memories. Whatever was in Muichiro's past was severe enough trauma to cause his brain to repress it. Of course, the memories he had uncovered were not pleasant ones.

"Whatever you need Tokito, I'm here for you," You said, reaching for his hand and squeezing it.

"Thank you," he mumbled, words he recently remembered how to use.

Thank you for the request and always supporting my fics! I really appreciate you! Getting love from a fellow writer always warms my heart just that much more~

Meeting someone who doesn't exist

[ ONE-SHOT ] [ Hanako, Yashiro & Kou ]

[ Toilet Bound Hanako-kun / Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun ]

I saw something similar to this happening in two of my favorites stories and I was like fuck off, I'll write about it!!

I enjoyed writing this SO MUCH!!! I hope you enjoy reading it too ❤️

One day an interesting aparition started to wander around the school, no one really knows from where it came from or how long it has been here, not even the supernaturals knows about it, even the leader of the seven misteries were surprised the first time he saw you

Hanako, as the leader of the seven, has to make sure you wouldn't be here to cause problems to humans or supernaturals, so when he finally noticed you he started making his research, aproaching you in hopes to solve this peacefuly (and dragging Yashiro and Kou with him). Words more or words less, Hanako was very clear with his intention to know you better, mainly your name and your reason to be there, however he encounter a problem that he would never guess it could happen, you cannot answer his question because you don't know the answer

All of them were surprised by your answer but tried to help you remeber, is normal to ghosts to don't remember about their previous life as humans so they just assumed it was that (or wanted to believe that it was that), is more likely that they end up dragging you around the school in hopes that something, anything could bring you memories (honestly, it was more Kou and Yashiro's idea), they drag you all around the school, the classrooms, the clubs, even where the borders are but nothing was of use, you couldn't remeber anything, you couldn't even remember your name

The whole situation was not only weird but also suspicious, deciding to move forward more cautiously all of them (mostly by Hanako's hand) started to drag you with the supernaturals in hopes that they could be of help, even just an advice could be of use. When the options began to run out they opted to even try to search for your book with Tsuchigomori, but it was usless since you don't know your name; as last resource they visited the first mistery, asking their help in an attempt to know more about your past, but they couldn't help neither because you don't have a past

In a attempt to be able to solve the confusing puzzle you are, Kou had even resorted to ask Teru for his help, making him promise that he won't get violent with you (or Hanako) right away before even letting him meet you, Teru accepted only because his brother asked him and for how he talked about you he actually wanted to know you (because he wanted to make sure you weren't just hiding your intentions and be a threaten), but the moment Teru finally met you he was completely taken aback, he take a full moment to watch you closely, trying to comprehend you, but at the end his conclusion wasn't better than from the others, according with Teru you shouldn't be even here, you weren't human but you weren't a supernatural neither, you simply aren't anything, even when they can see you, talk to you and even touch you you just don't exist

No matter what they do to try to help you or find out more about you, the more they try the more strange the situation turns to be, they can't help to feel completely worry about you, specially when you don't seem too bothered by it, yes, you may be surprised by everything and worried at first but no matter what else you find out there is always the feeling inside of you that tells you that it is okay, you don't have to afraid since this is the way it should be

At some point, and thanks to their help, you did finally was able to understand that you being here was an error, some time ago you had given up to not only your life but your complete existance, you had been completely erradicated from the world for a greatest good, something that, in your eyes, was totally worthy of the sacrifice you were doing and you don't feel any kind of regret about your decision, even if at this point you don't remember anything about it and you know you shouldn't even be there you were at peace about it

Hanako was completely confused, he didn't undestand at all, Yashiro were terrified by the posibility of you don't existing and even being an error your presence, and Kou couldn't just bring himself to even accept that fact, it was too much to process for the poor guys, and yet seeing you take this situation so naturally was even more confusing. They couldn't just undestand nor accept the fact that you shouldn't exist

How could you say that you don't exist or shouldn't be here when they can see you and touch you? You had even became their friend! All this time that all of you were trying to trying to find answers you had share a lot, you were having fun, getting all confused and worried together, and all of that wasn't a lie, you did laugh and worry with them, you talked and shared a lot with them, you can't just came and say that you shouldn't be here now

By trying to help you (and probably try to cope with the shock) Yashiro bring out the thought that since you are here then you exist! even if the world refused to aknowledge you they can see you and that is more than enough for them to know that you exist, so with that it mind Yashiro, followed by Kou and Hanako, were now determinated to give you a new life, to aknowledge your existance, and the first step to do that was giving you a name

TBHK chapter 110 spoilers

What could Mitsuba's yorishiro be, from the most likely to least likely to me

Kou : so this is the main theory, Kou himself could become Mitsuba's yorishiro. It would make sense, since he's basically the only thing Mitsuba truly cares about, and also the only person to truly care about Mitsuba as he is right now. It would also make sense since becoming a yorishiro would probably turn him into a supernatural, and Kou has been considering to become a supernatural for a while now, but we didn't get any news on that since a few chapters. It's even possible the "way for a human to become a supernatural" Natsuhiko told him about was actually to become a yorishiro, so maybe this is all part of a plan by Natsuhiko. Why would he want Kou to become Mitsuba's yorishiro, I don't know tho – we don't have enough clues on this yet. If I had to make assumptions now, I would say it may target Teru and/or a bigger plan more than Kou himself and Kou is just being used here, but who knows really

Kou's keychain : Mitsuba's keychain was destroyed, yeah – otherwise, it would've certainly become his yorishiro. But Kou's keychain is still intact. So maybe Kou's keychain can become Mitsuba's yorishiro, since it's an object related to Kou – similar logic as for the first option, it's something Mitsuba cares about

Sousuke's mom : she was there unconscious when Natsuhiko attacked Mitsuba, and Mitsuba seemed to be curious about her. It's a possibility she will become his yorishiro, but it's less likely than Kou, because Mitsuba doesn't have any real memory of her and doesn't even consider her as his mom, but as "Sousuke's mom" since he's not the real Mitsuba. We can still note the possibility, it will depend of the events happening I guess

Nothing : it's still possible Mitsuba isn't gonna get a yorishiro and die (I hope no) but it would be more interesting for the scenario if he gets one so I don't think that's very likely, unless they go for the tragedy route and remind us how the penguin keychain would've been his yorishiro but it didn't and now it's too late

Kou's picture : this one is even less likely but I saw this theory and I think we can still note it. This is the picture the first Mitsuba took of Kou when they met. It was important to him as he said when he took it. However the actual Mitsuba doesn't care about photography so it's not very likely the picture is gonna be his yorishiro. If anything, I think it's more likely to be a hint about how Kou could become his yorishiro, since back then he took a picture of "something important to him" and Kou is the only think from his past self that stayed important.

Something else : of course it could also be something else I didn't think about, but I don't have any more real idea there, or at least not anything that makes sense to me

[musicalmoritz]

Do you have any theories about the next chapter? I can’t believe it’s already coming out next week!!

Kou is gonna enter his villain era, trust. We’ve seen him increasingly become more selfish through knowing Mitsuba and we know that he’s willing to go to extremes to protect him. He’s going to want to stay in a world where Mitsuba’s wish is true, he’s alive and happy. Kou pretty much has everything he wants in this au, everything we saw him desire in the Red House arc. I have a feelings he’s going to want to keep those things, though he might be brought back to reality when he realizes he loved a different Mitsuba in the original universe. That Mitsuba still needs him and he should accept that Sousuke is gone. But he’s lived a whole life with Sousuke in this universe so I’m not sure how well that will work, unless he fully gets his memories back

But I’m getting ahead of myself, I doubt that will happen immediately. I hope the Red House shows us what Teru subconsciously wants the way it did with Kou, so we get to see what the “dream” is he talked about having in that one chapter. I’m primarily concerned with the Minamotos lmao. I doubt we’ll get the full Yugi lore until the end of this arc, so for now I’m just hoping for good character development/exploration. That’s my main area of interest anyways

I tend to be excitedly nervous when new chapters come out ever since the slap scene sparked so much discourse. That truly was this fandom’s 9/11 (wait can I make that joke today??). And I know I’m gonna have to hear ppl complain no matter what, like c’mon guys, let this arc cook. Personally I really like this arc so I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next

[hanako-san]

I was reading your post about: "Kou here is half right and half wrong" and I didn't understand the part about yorishiros. So if Amane is really dead then why is Tsukasa looking for him. I'm not trying to offend your theory, I just wanted to go into more detail if you don't mind, because to me the idea of ​​Amane already being dead seems quite interesting.

I don't feel offended. Sometimes I write unclearly, so I'm not surprised that you didn't understand it. Such misunderstandings are often perceived negatively. I'm glad not this time.I'd be happy to explain more what I meant. It's not a problem for me.

I meant that

Amane as a teacher is responsible for the rumors about Tsukasa to bring him back. My theory here is that it's possible that he remembered Tsukasa at some point in his adolescent life, or as an adult, and planned to introduce his younger brother,or he remembered it all the time, but he had no way of bringing it back.

I'm sure Amane knows that no.1 wanted to get rid of his younger brother. Basically, they wanted to erase his existence. This was the true purpose of this world.

Amane has a plan and has found a way to find his own brother. Look at that sly smile with confidence. I think he knew it would work.

Amane's plan succeeded and brought Tsukasa in because of the rumors he was the author of. He's not looking for him anymore, he found him in my opinion.

Amane doesn't appear in the future, only in the past and shows himself as the spirit/ Flashback(?) of yashiro and it is known that he disappeared, so in my opinion, after bringing Tsukasa to this world, Amane committed suicide again, making Tsukasa his yorishiros for the second time.

Amane as a ghost/memory(?) reveals himself and proposes rituals to the students so that Tsukasa will have someone to play with, which he should do. Tsukasa is just having fun later. When Amane was a teacher the rumor was still alive after his disappearance it still happens because Amane doesn't let this rumor die in my opinion.This also helps Tsukasa exist and lead the mess into this world.

Kou only stated a fact, but his words should be taken the other way around. Tsukasa is Amane's yorishiro. Yorishiro is the most important thing/person belonging to mystery in school. Amane before this world said that no wish is valid when Tsukasa is not with him. No.1 wanted to separate him from his brother and destroy him. No wonder Amane wants to destroy this world and it would be very like him after bringing Tsukasa after the rumors to die a second time and make Tsukasa his yorishiros for the second time.

It's also possible that Amane could have regained his supernatural powers after his second death to make Tsukasa his yorishiros for the second time/or it's possible that he was always supernatural but couldn't use the powers because it just didn't work. This world is controlled by number 1 and has regained its power after another suicide.

I hope I explained it well now.Thanks for the question.

Diabolik Lovers CHAOS LINEAGE ー Subaru [09]

Monologue

Taken there by Laito-kun,

Subaru-kun and I headed for the living room,

where everyone else had already gathered as well.

I thought that Carla-san,

wanted to talk to me alone,

but perhaps that is not the case after all.

While Carla-san looked somewhat surprised,

when he saw Subaru-kun,

he did not seem to particularly mind his attendance, as he began to speak.

Carla: ーー It should be obvious what I want to talk about.

Quite some time has passed since we welcomed Eve into our manor, but I have yet to experience any developments towards becoming the Supreme Overlord.

Eve does not seem to show any changes either.

I am fairly positive that the path towards becoming Supreme Overlord will open to us once she has fully ‘ripened’ as Eve, but her blood still smells as foul as ever.

I do not notice anything different about her either.

Yui: ( I’m pretty sure I smell bad to him because Subaru-kun sucked my blood. )

( That’s why a Founder such as Carla-san perceives it as ‘foul-smelling’. Seems like he has forgotten all about that though. )

( He can wait for me to ‘ripen’ all he wants, my blood will never be delicious to him. )

Carla: At present, we have not been able to obtain any new information on the Supreme Overlord or Eve, while the situation remains stagnant as well.

However, I can only assume that the other Houses will continue their assault. In which case, we must make a move forward as well.

That is why I have decided that I will keep Eve by my side in hopes of triggering some kind of evolution.

Subaru: Wha...!?

Yui: Eh!?

Carla: Do you understand, Eve? From today onwards, you shall start living in my room.

Subaru: Oi! Why are you decidin’ this without our approval!?

Laito: So that means you’ll keep her all to yourself?

Kou: Carla-kun, you’re so lucky~

Azusa: If Carla wants to become the Supreme Overlord, that might be the quickest way to do so...

Carla: Yes, exactly.

While I am taking a chance by betting on a method which has zero evidence backing it up, as long as we do not have any clues, I believe I have no other choice but to test out all possibilities.

It is my destiny to rise to the top and govern over the Vampire race, and to do so I will do anything at my disposal to become the Supreme Overlord.

Yui: ...Ugh.

( Anything as his disposal...I guess he’s so obsessed with the title because he’s a Founder? )

( Even if he doesn’t remember, he might still be the same person deep down, just like Subaru-kun was. )

Carla: Subaru, do you understand? From this moment onwards, your supervising duty has been officially revoked.

Subaru: Cut the crap...So in other words, I gotta hand her over to you?

Carla: What do you mean? Eve was never yours to begin with.

*Rustle*

Subaru: Not in a million years. I’m not lettin’ you have her.

Carla: I beg your pardon? Could it be that you are after the title of Supreme Overlord yourself?

Subaru: Supreme Overlord? I don’t give a damn ‘bout that shit!

I mean, you’re over here obsessin’ over that stupid title like a fool but do you even know what the title holds?

Carla: ...Excuse me?

Subaru: As soon as you realized her blood tasted bad to you, you should have started by askin’ yourself the question whether you’re even Vampire at all.

Yui: ...!

( Don’t tell me, he’s going to reveal to everyone that their memories have been altered? )

( And that my blood tastes bad to him because he’s a Founder and not a Vampire... )

( I guess that might be a good plan. If we address it to everyone right now, it might bring forth some kind of change. )

Carla: What are you saying all of a sudden?

Subaru: You heard me. You really don’t feel as if somethin’ is off ‘bout your current self?

Like how you’re actin’ as our ‘older brother’, or what exactly you’re fightin’ for.

Carla: Hmph. Such an odd thing to say. I simply cannot understand where you are getting at.

Yui: ( Carla-san doesn’t seem shaken up. He must be very confident that he’s a Vampire. )

Subaru: Once again, I really think you should be a lil’ more doubtful of your own memories and this fucked up World!

*Thud*

Carla: ...

Subaru: ...Laito, Kou, Azusa. Her blood smells sweet to the three of you as well, doesn’t it?

Laito: Guess so.

Kou: Yeah, it makes me thirsty.

Azusa: Yeah, me too...

Subaru: Did you hear that, Carla? Seems like you’re the one who thinks her blood is disgustin’.

Carla: ...And?

Subaru: That’s because you’re not a Vampire like we are! You’re a Founder!

Carla: ...I was wondering what you would come up with.

Oi, Azua. Do you understand what Subaru is trying to say?

Azusa: Well...

Laito: Ah, could it be that Subaru-kun has fallen in love with Eve~?

Kou: Ah, I get it now! Subaru-kun doesn’t necessarily want to become Supreme Overlord, but he just wants Eve all for himself~

Carla: In other words, you have been blinded by Eve? Are you trying to confuse us?

Subaru: ...Che. It’s no use. It doesn’t seem like he’s willin’ to listen to what we have to say.

Yui: Yeah...I don’t think any of them sense anything strange about their own memories right now.

Subaru: Fuck!

Carla: Either way, I understand very well that you do not intend to let me have Eve.

In which case you leave me no other choice. I will simply have to take her by force then.

*Cling*

Subaru: He drew his sword...! Step back, Yui!

Yui: ...!?

Carla: Subaru. It is not too late just yet. If you obey and hand her over, I shall forget about everything you said just now.

You are still my younger brother after all.

Subaru: ...But I’m not? I thought a Founder would know better than to continue spoutin’ such bullcrap.

Carla: Come again?

Subaru: You’re not gettin’ her!

*Woosh*

Carla: Hmph. I cannot believe you would be as impudent as to throw a knife at me...I suppose you truly want to bare your fangs at me.

ー Carla strikes him down

Subaru: Kuh, you...!?

Carla: You shall learn that the punishment for betrayal is a big one. You fool.

Subaru: Who’s the fool here, huh!? Is this the best you can do now that you’ve forgotten ‘bout your own identity as a Founder!?

*Clang*

*THUD*

Carla: ...Ugh.

Subaru: Damnit! This won’t work!

Yui, let’s run! Now’s our chance!

Yui: Yeah, Subaru-kun!

Monologue

After clashing swords with Carla-san,

Subaru-kun managed to fend him off for just one moment.

Using that opportunity, we grabbed hold of each other’s hands.

And dashed off just like that.

Away from this fake familyーー

ー The scene shifts to a cave

Yui: ...Hah...Haah, haah...

Subaru: ...Haah.

*Thud* 

Subaru: ...It doesn’t seem like they’re comin’ after us. I just hope nobody saw us flee over here.

Yui: I wonder why they won’t come after us...?

Subaru: They might be shaken up. 

Even if they don’t believe any of what I said, I’m pretty sure Laito and the others also had their suspicions about the taste of your blood.

Yui: Now that you mention it, while the two of you were fighting, all they did was watch from the side.

Subaru: Since he didn’t order them to attack me, Carla might have been somewhat in panic as well.

I can never tell what that guy’s thinkin’ though.

...I just hope we can rest up a bit here.

Yui: ( Ah! There’s blood seeping through his shirt! )

Did you get hurt perhaps...!?

Subaru: It’s just a scratch. I’ll be fine as long as I rest up a little.

Yui: But it looks really painful. It won’t stop bleeding either...

The wound might have opened up from the sudden movement! Show me!

*Rustle*

Subaru: Ah, oi! Cut it out...!

*Rustle*

Yui: ーー Aah, I knew it. The fabric’s drenched in blood.

Your old injuries must have opened up again.

Subaru: Most of them were almost fully healed, so it’s no big deal.

Yui: ( That’s a lie. The wound’s wide open again. His stamina has surely gone down as well. )

Subaru-kun, suck my blood. Even if it won’t heal them, it should help you feel a bit better, right?

Subaru: I can’t do that. I won’t be able to control myself once I get started. I’m just not confident in my ability to hold back right now.

Selection

→ It’s for your sake (♡)

Yui: I’ll be fine. You haven’t sucked my blood in a while.

I want to do something for you. I want to actually do something for you as well, rather than always be the one getting protected.

Subaru: ...

Yui: So please let me do anything I can?

Subaru: What are you sayin’...? Don’t come cryin’ to me afterwards.

→ That’s fine (🖤)

Yui: That’s fine. Even if it kills me...

Subaru: Idiot, what are you sayin’...!? I won’t let that happen.

Yui: But if it’s to save you...

Yui: Don’t worry. I’m begging you, Subaru-kun. Have my blood.

I don’t want you to have to suffer all alone. As your girlfriend, I want to share the pain with you.

Subaru: Haah...You really are unbelievable. Always sayin’ the most outrageous things.

Well, I guess I can’t protect you if I don’t do somethin’ ‘bout these injuries. Now’s not the time to be sayin’ such things. 

Am I really that much of a loser that I can’t even hold back? I’ll show you that I’m perfectly capable of controllin’ myself.

*Rustle*

Subaru: ...I’ve made my choice. You’re ready for it as well, right?

Yui: Yeah, come here.

*Rustle*

On certain CGs, little black roses will appear on the screen. If you click on them, you get an extra line of dialogue.

“You’re shakin’. Are you alright? Don’t endure the pain and just tell me if it hurts, ‘kay? ...Although I might not be able to stop, even if you ask me to.”

“Nn...Haah...What makes your blood so incredibly sweet and hot?”

Subaru: ...Don’t go faintin’ on me ‘cause it feels too good, ‘kay? Don’t leave me alone. Hah, nn...Phew.

Yui: Nn...Aah...

Subaru: ...Nnh, nn...Hah...

*Rustle*

Yui: Ah...

( His fangs are sinking deep inside me... )

Subaru: ...Nn, kuh...

Yui: ...Ah, Subaru-kun...

Subaru: ...Haah...Your blood...It really does taste sweet.

Yui: Nn...You can have some more.

( Please, may my blood...help soothe his pain. )

Subaru: Idiot! Don’t entice me with those sweet moans! I seriously won’t be able to stop!

Yui: I don’t mind, if it’s you...

( I mean, he’s sucking my blood so gently, making me feel good... )

( My body feels hot, like I’m floating...Almost as if I’m dreaming. )

Subaru: But I do mind. I want to treasure you even more than I treasure myself...

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: And? Did it help you feel better?

Subaru: Yeah. I’m in a way better mood than before as well.

Yui: You did manage not to suck too much after all. I had faith that you would be, you know?

Subaru: Listen, don’t you think you’re bein’ a little too carefree now? My thirst hasn’t been quenched at all. 

Yui: Eh? Is that so? Then I don’t mind if you have some more...

*Rustle*

Subaru: Idiot! Why are you exposin’ your skin!? I said it’s enough!

Yui: R-Really...?

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: ( I don’t think he needs to hold back though. )

Subaru: We can’t sit here like this forever, can we? We have to discuss what we’ll do next.

Yui: Yeah, you’re right.

Subaru: Carla will definitely come for us to steal ‘Eve’.

Even without his original memories, he’s still got a big-ass ego, and he’s got his sights set on becomin’ the Supreme Overlord. 

Yui: Carla-san is a Founder, so in an actual fight, he’d be a force to be reckoned with.

Subaru: Yeah. With his memories gone, he didn’t seem to try to use his Founder powers.

Yui: Those are linked together?

Subaru: Beats me. I think it’s just that you need to have an awareness as a Founder, or else you won’t think of tryin’ to use them, right?

But we’re up against four people. Founder or not, if I try to face them head-on, I’d stand no chance.

Yui: ...I’m sorry.

Subaru: Hah? Why are you apologizin’ out of the blue?

Yui: I mean, if you hadn’t protected me, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt so you would have had an easier time facing them...

Subaru: Idiot. If I hadn’t taken that bomb for you, my memories wouldn’t have returned, right?

So don’t apologize. How am I supposed to react when the whole reason I ran away was to keep you safe? 

Yui: ...Yeah, guess you’re right. Then let me thank you instead. Thanks.

Subaru: Yeah. Don’t ever put the blame on yourself again, ‘kay?

Yui: ( Fufu. He really is so kind. )

Hey, I wonder how big this cave is?

And how far have we made it?

Subaru: Good question. It honestly might be safer to try and find shelter at one of the other Houses rather than running far away.

Yui: But the other Houses are also out to get Eve...They’re after me, right?

Subaru: The Orange House...won’t work. We only just faced them after all. I’m pretty sure Ayato is still enraged about it.

We could try to head back, puttin’ all our hope on Laito rememberin’ everythin’ but the chances of that are pretty slim.

Yui: Then...

Subaru: Reiji always knows how to keep his head cool, so we might just have a shot at the Scarlet House.

Shuu’s over there as well. If we play our cards right, they might just shelter us.

...Well, they might not take my words seriously.

Yui: That’s not true, Subaru-kun. You’re actual brothers after all.

Subaru: You say that, but our family has always been different from the Mukami’s or the Founders.

Yui: ...Even so, I’m sure that you’ll connect somehow. Don’t worry. Let’s have faith in the power of family! (1)

Subaru: The power of family, huh...? Don’t make me gag.

Yui: But...

Subaru: I know! It’s not like we’ll get any further by hidin’ in here.

I guess we can go see Reiji. Off to my shitty older brothers.

Yui: ...Yeah! I’ll follow you anywhere.

Subaru: Yeah, I know.

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー 

Translation notes

(1) Literally she says ‘genuine bonds/connections’ but that sounded kind of dry in English, so I went for a less literal but more natural-sounding translation.

[diabolikpersonals]

aaaaand ruki cl endings!

euphoria end:

In the church, Karl Heinz explains that this was all a test, and when Ruki asks “ok can you please stop the test now” Karl Heinz is like lmao no. show me that you can surpass me first. It might be impossible for Ruki because he’s a former human, but Karl Heinz says he approves of Ruki in a certain way, and he just needs Ruki to show that he’s capable of seeing his plan through…….or else, Karl Heinz will take Eve back.

Ruki tells Karl Heinz he owes him a debt of gratitude but he won’t be doing that. He can’t give up Yui OR turn his blade against Karl Heinz. Karl Heinz is like “awww, that’s cute, but check this out” and there’s this terrible magic sound and blood splatters across the screen and Ruki’s like “GUAAAGAGHHH” and I’m thinking “oh no did I actually get the bad end???” and Karl Heinz is like “pick up your sword, pussy” (he doesnt say that last part)

Ruki stands up, all covered in blood, and says that he probably isn’t the right person for Yui. He messed up Karl Heinz’s plans too. But he still doesn’t wanna let her go ;-; um, but he still doesn’t want to fight Karl Heinz, so Karl Heinz is like “die like a dog then” and blasts him. He tells Yui he’ll let Ruki live if she comes with him. He wrecks Ruki’s shit a third time and I imagine he is a blood stain on the floor at this point.

Yui’s about to say she’ll go with Karl Heinz, but Ruki stands up (?! what a trooper) and hugs her. He wants to stay with her to the very end ;-; He thanks her for choosing him, and Yui says there’s nothing to thank her for, she just fell in love with him, simple as that. They kiss and it tastes like Ruki’s blood.

………but again, if you’ve seen some other endings, you know where this is going, right? Kissing in the church is actually the key to leaving this place, so the whole world disappears into whiteness. They wake up in that room in Eden and all of Ruki’s injuries are gone. Karl Heinz is like lol congratulations!! Since Ruki and Yui chose each other in the face of death, they’ve proven their love is real. He’s like “Well, I really thought it would be one of my sons, but the future is full of surprises. peace!” and he disappears..,, giving me no time to strangle him

Anyway we go back to our regular lives. Kino is still a mystery. I imagine Shin acts awkward every time he sees Ruki from now on. We see a nice, familiar scene of the Mukamis being rowdy at dinnertime. Yuma suggests rukiyui should just get married already. Ruki absolutely intends to do that, so kou’s like “whoaaaaa okay this is getting steamy, let’s leave” lmao. When they’re alone, Ruki tells Yui he no longer has any doubts or hesitations about loving her. Before this, he thought he could just keep running away, but now he feels like he can stand his ground and face people like Karl Heinz, and defend the fact that he loves her.

labyrinth end:

Ruki kept Yui to himself even though he didn’t have the qualities to become Adam, and that’s basically betraying Karl Heinz. He’d rather run away with her than face this fact. Karl Heinz lets him run and he’s like “fine, run forever. you can stay here till you make a new choice.”

While they’re running, Yui wakes up in the church again. She’s right back where she started, and Reiji, Kou, Laito, and Ayato are there too. oh my god did I just get timelooped???? tell me I got timelooped

Yui basically plays the general prologue again and chooses the Orange house in hopes of meeting Ruki. He’s there, but he doesn’t remember her anymore!! we totally got timelooped!!! fuck!!!!

Back in Eden, Karl Heinz is talking to himself and he says he’ll rewind this story as many times as it takes for Ruki to figure his shit out. But we gotta do this quick, because the soul can only handle so many repetitions before it breaks down.

Ruki (memoryless) stabs Yuma in the heart and kills him, then the shock gives him his memory back and he freaks out. Yui wakes up in the church AGAIN. The church bells ring AGAIN. She STARTS OVER.

And so it repeats over and over. Sometimes they make progress, sometimes Ruki kills his brothers, sometimes Yui dies. Ruki starts having dreams about past iterations; nightmares where he stabs Yuma’s heart and cuts Kou and Azusa to pieces. His hands feel like they’ve really done it. She tells him it’s all a bad dream and hugs him, but he says “This time you’ll be killed. I don’t know how, but I can see it.” Then he’ll take his sword and kill himself too.

Yui screams no, it’s just a bad dream!! And she hopes she wakes up soon ;-;;;;;

[ayayumastan]

Diaboys (+Yui) Ideal Vacation destination •3•

•Yui grew up so sheltered, she barley saw anything in Japan X-X. So I think she should visit Mt. Fuji first, you know, get to know see the main attraction of her country. She definitely has dreams to travel the world tho.

•Shu does NOT travel. Too much effort. But if he did I think somewhere very secluded. I really like the Idea of him in Greenland, but it might bring back some traumatic memories… (the girls that get it, get it). So maybe and Icelandic Island, or somewhere in the Scottish highlands (can someone please draw Shu chilling with Nessie X-X).

•Reiji is fluid in German so I think he should visit the alps, but the Austrian ones. With all due respect I don’t think my man can handle north Germany X-X (as a German who’s das lives in north Germany, but grew up in the south. I know). I also have a headcanon, that Reiji is very good at skiing. Not sure if he can understand Austrian alp dialect (my grandmas from there so again. I know) but I believe in him

•Ayato would probably be somewhere warme. To do all the water sports and stuff. I really like the Idea of him in Mexico

•Kanato CAN’T go anywhere too warm or sunny. I think Switzerland, the mother of chocolate (let’s not talk about where chocolate is ACTUALLY from). Swiss chocolate just hits different

•Laito goes to Greece. It’s just right.

•Subaru is also not a travel man, but I like him in either the Netherlands or New Zealand. I can’t explain it just feels right

•Ruki would probably go somewhere in the Caucasus area, like turkey or Armenia (yes I know turkey isn’t actually Caucasus area, but I forgot the English word for it). Like I totally think he would explore the remains of Troy (if it really was troy) and go to archeological sights. I also like the idea of him in west Africa for the same reason.

•Yuma would go to a small village in Calabria (I hope that’s also what it’s called in English, but anyways it’s in south Italy). He would have his own little garden there and gets along great with the locals, despite not speaking a word of Italien.

•Kou has traveled the world, since yk he’s famous. So I think he’d go on a wellness retreat on a mountain in Nepal, or to live with yaks in Mongolia.

•Azusa would either go to the middle of the Saharan desert or to Siberia. No in between. I like him more in Siberia tho. Fun fact: my fathers from a little city in the very VERY west of Siberia, and I’d just think it’s cute if he went there :3 (I’ve literally never been there, even tho I’d really like to go. I just know my dad was born there)

•The Tsukinamis travel together. No other option. If it were up to Carla (which it mostly is) they take a tour around Europe. If it were up to Shin, they’d go somewhere tropical, and very much not Europe, like maybe Kongo or somewhere in South America.

•Kino goes to Korea. Again I can’t explain it, it just makes sense. I won’t specify which Korea… because he would just go to both

[dixbolik-lovers]

hello love your work can i request kou kanato and ayato roleplaying the weak human and their partner is the strong vampire and they like it hope you get better soon

Kou

Because of the memories it brings back, it's hard for Kou to let himself be fully helpless— even with you, there's a sort of lingering nervousness that never fully fades. But in a way, that fear just makes it all the more arousing when you have him pinned. It's more realistic this way, he thinks, feeling his whole body tremble when his struggling gets him nowhere. You'll go back to your proper roles soon enough, but while this lasts, while you're marking him up as yours, it's fine to pretend like he really is at your mercy, this time. He still whines about how rough you are.

Kanato

While Kanato would usually prefer more of a doll-like role when it comes to being at your mercy... this sounds entertaining, as well. Kanato can't take being handled roughly, but going limp in your arms while you do as you please with his body works just fine. And even though your teeth can't properly pierce his skin, just the feeling of you sucking deep, stinging marks into his throat leaves him whining and arching into your hold. He'll be sniffling back overwhelmed tears before long, fighting the urge to move so that he can remain your perfect, pliant, oh-so-cooperative prey.

Ayato

There's something unfairly exciting about having his usual situation completely reversed. With potions (stolen from Reiji) to make his body weaker and yours stronger, for the first time, Ayato gets to experience what it's like to be pinned. When it finally sinks in that he can't fight back, feeling even the scrape of your dull teeth against his neck sends a shiver through him that's almost embarrassing. Sure, this was his idea, but it wasn't supposed to be this hot. Expect lots of squirming and protests when you bite him, even though the flush on his face betrays his enjoyment.

[ariicandy]

Hello hello~! I hope today is going well for you! I know i requested a fic from you already buttt i was wondering if i could get a teru minamoto relationship hcs? (maybe you can also include how the reader doesn't believe much abt supernatural stuff?) fem reader plspls! (●’◡’●)

╭⌗♡ Teru Minamoto Relationship Hcs!!∿⌇

Tryna change on plain basic titles I’m still working on your hanako request just need more motivation bc its kinda long but trying my best. Hopefully i did teru good for u, my mutual n others who like him ^^

✰— dating the most popular, most crushed on by almost everyone, guy at school. I sure hope your in for all the glares and stares, the jealous girls, but that aside, he’s super sweet with you!! He would send you those small faces that warms your hand like a kiss being blowed to you, or a loved-sick smiling face because he can’t stop looking at you?? You get it??

❥⸝⸝ he’s really sweet with you and wants to show you off not caring what others think of your guys’ relationship, they dont bother him because he got you, it bothers him that you take those awful things into your head. :((. He will reassure you whatever nonsense people make about both you and him or just you, that person will never be heard again bad talking about you guys ever again. Teru doesn’t play when someone he loves takes the criticism in a bad way affecting them, they’re a goner.

✰— If you don’t believe on the supernatural, he wont argue with that since his believes that the supernatural are never good only bringing harm to the world/others. So he doesnt mind you not entirely believing it, he probably thinks it’s the way you were raise not knowing from your parents keeping that knowledge away from you to not scare you as a kid.

❥⸝⸝ teru might talk about you with kou and tiara, kou has to listen to all his rambles what a great amazing lovable and adorable girlfriend you are. Tiara thinks from all the talks on how beautiful and gorgeous you are to make her older brother so deeply in love, like head over heels maybe, that he misses you every second you aren't with him or near him. Once kou had brought you over to introduce to his siblings, tiara was all over how pretty you were and ever might ask you to make her as pretty you are! Kou would be shock that its you! He has seen you but never a thought about who you were, he accepts you quick with tiara too for making their older brother so deeply in love for someone to care, enjoy and share memories with them! <3

[amyyythestarry]

Plz Mitsuba confuses the heck out of me.

Multiple days he wishes he wasn’t lonely, wishes he stays in everyone’s memory, wishes to be a normal human being, wishes to be with his friends forever and ever, wishes to exist and live.

Then one day he wakes up and decides he wants to get exorcized…

LIKE IT’S SO FKING CONFUSING, why did he come to that conclusion, how did he come to that conclusion??

He couldn’t have to just woken up and chosen masochism, couldn’t have just grown suicidal over night, right???

Now he wants to die, after all of that wishes for things to be better for him, wishing to be a human and to live and exist in the near shore, have friends, ect ect ect.

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO BE PAYING TSUKASA FOR THIS SHT BRO. 😭

SERIOUSLY, AFTER ALL OF THIS TIME WHEN TSUKASA WANTED MITSUBA’S WISH TO BE GRANTED, AFTER TRYING TO MAKE HIS DREAMS COME TRUE, Mitsuba wants to throw that all away????

It does not add up.

Tsukasa tried to get Mitsuba to stay in everyone’s memory, with little specific details from Mitsuba so he had to work with what he could do ( Because he isn’t a genie ). Then Mitsuba changed it so suddenly to “I want to have friends,” so Tsukasa figured he wanted to be friends with Kou. Then that whole thing didn’t work so he made another Mitsuba, hoping his wish would come true that time, Mit2uba wished to be human, Tsukasa tried making that come true giving the whole Picture Perfect arc, BUT THEN Mitsuba 2.0 started to rethink reality because of Kou and they broke out of the fake world.

I really can’t think of any other instances where Tsukasa tried granting Mitsuba’s wish, but heck that’s a lot to even do with little to work from because even after his wish becomes more specific, he keeps changing it.

And really, the only one who sees problem with this is me, Tsukasa doesn’t care that Mitsuba keeps changing his mind, he just wants to help make his dreams come true, no matter how many desires Mitsuba has. Because he’s extremely tolerable, patient, he believes people should have whatever they desire, there are no limits ( But somehow he claims he’s only wanted one thing, only ever had one wish granted ), which is realistic giving fking Mitsuba. He knows the desires are just gonna keep coming in, and he doesn’t care, he’ll tend to them.

It’s not a problem, though, it’s realistic. Humans are gonna keep wanting, and supernatural are professionals at dreaming and wanting things ( But ones like Hanako just don’t want to admit it ). I’m really just saying that I could never have as much tolerance and patients with Mitsuba as much as Tsukasa has.

Even with Hanako/Amane. Amane as a little kid wanted to be better, he wanted to be healthy like Tsukasa so he could live a normal and untroubled life. Tsukasa granted that wish, with none of that benefitting him because he then was trapped in the Red House, only to figure out that Amane was going to die sooner than intended, at 13. Throwing away all of Tsukasa’s efforts.

But still, Tsukasa still doesn’t mind all of that, he still wants to see what Amane most desires, just like how he is with Mitsuba.

I could never, as soon as they come up with another fking wish I’m quitting my job. 💀

I wonder what Tsukasa would think and do if Mitsuba announced to him that he wanted to disappear ( Or, if that was just a thought for that moment, and he doesn’t really want that???? ). How could he make that wish come true? Make Mitsuba disappear. Canonly, Mitsuba says he doesn’t want to go down meaninglessly ( I hate him, now he’s being too specific ), wants to be exorcised my Kou ( FOR TOTAL MASOCHISTIC REASONS YOU CAN’T MAKE ME NOT BELIEVE THAT ).

But I’m really frustrated that he doesn’t come to Tsukasa for that. Tsukasa is and always will be the one to grant his wishes, Kou can’t do that as Tsukasa can ( I still love Kou don’t give me wrong, he’s trying his best ). Now, Mitsuba’s just totally closed off from Tsukasa, he doesn't want Tsukasa to figure out he has anymore wishes, he doesn’t want to give in to his desires like Tsukasa wants him too.

I don’t know, I feel like Mitsuba is just being a pVssy, he’s gone too deep in these wishes and desires, why is he stopping now? Why does he want to disappear so suddenly?? ( If anyone knows plz let me know I cannot figure him out )

Conclusion, everyone needs to appreciate Tsukasa.

( This also goes into the thought ‘what would they think if Tsukasa were to disappear?’ Would Mitsuba’s desire to let go be stronger, would he break down, would he pretend that everything’s fine, would he hide from the fact that Tsukasa wouldn’t come back, OR would he give in to all of his desires afterwards because Tsukasa wanted him to, as a type of coping mechanism??? )

Questions, questions.

I really want this whole Clock Keepers business to be over with so we can get to Tsukasa and Mitsuba ( Mitsu’s yorishiro and yorishiro Tsu ).

I swear it’s gonna be Tsumitsu in the future.

[slayfics]

Hi, I just want to say I love your work so much and was wondering if you could write a oneshot of Muichiro overhearing reader singing to themselves but they're shy about their voice so they don't really sing around people

Muichiro catches you singing.

Muichiro was out on his nightly patrol of his designated area and you were working on making a meal. You had finished your mission faster than expected so you thought you would surprise Muichiro with a fresh meal once he returned.

You were sure you had another hour or so before he showed up so you took your time to carefully prepare the food. You began to hum to yourself as you gathered ingredients.

As you began to cut and get more lost in cooking your humming turned into singing. You loved to sing but only did so when you knew you were alone. You didn't think your voice was bad, but you felt incredibly shy to share your voice with anyone.

As more time passed, you found yourself singing even louder preparing the meal. You were singing your usual comfort song, a lullaby passed down through your family. Right when you were about to get to your favorite verse a voice behind you asked, "What song is that?"

You jumped, taken by surprise, and spun around to see Muichiro right behind you. Your face flushed at realizing the Hashira had heard your singing.

"You're back early!" You stated, catching your breath from the surprise.

"Yes. What song was that?" He asked again.

"An old lullaby," You responded, still feeling embarrassed he had heard you.

"Will you please sing it again," He asked, eyes wide.

"Oh um- I don't know- my voice isn't that good and-" You mumbled making excuses but Muichiro cut you off.

"Your voice is beautiful and something about that song I vaguely remember... will you please sing it again?"

Your face flushed again at Muichiro's compliment and you found it hard to turn down his request. Muichiro hardly remembered anything from his past so you knew how much it meant to him when something started to spark his memories.

"Ok... but don't look at me-" You compromised.

"Ok," Muichiro said, covering his eyes with his hands.

A smile spread across your face at how adorable the Hashira was. He could have turned around or gone into the other room but instead chose to cover his eyes with his face. Something about his actions were oddly charming.

You began the song again as you finished preparing the meal. Muichiro stood in place with his eyes covered the entire time until the song concluded.

"I'm finished," you said, indicating he could remove his hands from his face.

You looked at the Hashira as he brought his hands down and noticed tears had formed in his eyes.

"I think my mother used to sign that to me," he said.

Awe this was such a wholesome request! Thank you for sending it in! I hope I didn’t make it too sad for you at the end~

“Nostalgia.”

In attempt to jog his memory, you take him to all his old favorite spots, indulging him to take photos of the mesmerizing scenes. He feels something about you, but still can’t quite remember you. He feels attracted to you, but doesn’t understand why as he claims not to know you. After a while, you gave up, but it was then that he thought of trying to comfort you. But the second his fingertips brushed the warmth of your arm, it all came flooding back.

Warnings: a bit angsty, some ooc parts, cursing (if you squint really hard), mentions of bullying, flashbacks of memories you had with Mitsuba, etc,.

(A/N) : hope you enjoy!

Prev. >> Next

“(Y/N).” A voice called.

“(Y/NN).” It echoed.

You didn’t recognize this voice.

“It’s almost time (Y/N).”

You heard a horrible squelching noise, followed by a scream. But it wasn’t just any scream.

It was your scream.

Images of Mitsuba getting killed all over again flashed in your mind.

“No, no.” You cried in a hushed tone.

“Wake up.”

You shot up from your bed, panting softly and trembling. You ran a shaky hand through your (H/C) locks, biting your lip to stop yourself from sobbing.

You checked the time.

4:27 a.m.

Sighing, you laid back onto your bed. You draped your arm over your eyes, still trying to calm yourself down.

“You’re okay.” You assured yourself.

“It was just a nightmare.”

“He’ll be okay.”

“Nothing bad’s gonna happen to him.”

“It wasn’t real.”

You kept mumbling, reassuring yourself that he was okay.

“(Y/N), you okay in there?” Your aunt called from the other room.

Had you woken her up?

“Yeah! Just gonna go grab some water.” You croaked loud enough for her to hear.

“Okay.” She replied.

Sighing, you got up from your bed, quietly going down the stairs.

You grabbed a glass, filling it with water.

“What if he’s not okay.”

“Is something bad going to happen to him?”

“He’s not gonna disappear again right?”

“Why doesn’t he remember me?”

Your mind was plagued with thoughts, and it wasn’t until you felt the cold water spill down your hand and wrist that you realized. You took a few sips of water before heading back upstairs. You sat the glass on your nightstand, getting back under the covers and going back to sleep.

.

.

You were woken up by another phone call from Kou, followed by shout from your aunt.

"(Y/N), hurry your friend is here!"

You groaned, pressing "decline" on your screen.

"I’Il be down in a minute." You hollered back, going to your closet to get dressed.

You grumbled, slipping on your clothes. You quickly brushed out your hair and splashed your face with cold water to wake you up really quick.

Giving yourself one last look in the mirror, you nodded—somewhat satisfied that you didn't look like a total mess—before rushing downstairs.

Kou was on the couch, just kind of sitting there.

"Hey I'm almost done, let me just slip on my shoes and we can head out." You say, hurrying over to the door to grab your shoes and slip them on.

"You're not gonna eat anything?" Kou asked, standing up.

"Nah I'll be fine." you answer "besides we can't be late.”

Kou narrowed his eyes at you, before sighing.

"C'mon, if you hurry I can probably whip something up for you really quick." He says heading for the door.

“Really? Kou’s famous cooking? I’d love to.” You joked.

“Hurry, or you won’t be able to eat ‘Kou’s famous cooking’.” He quoted you.

.

.

After Kou made you some breakfast which was undeniably delicious, and you got to school—Kou had ran off to go get something because he forgot it, but you already knew he was going to go look for Mitsuba.

You sat monotonously in your seat for your first class of the day, only half-heartedly listening to the lecture the teacher was giving.

Ring, ring, ring.

Students flooded out from the classroom, hurriedly to get to their next class. You, however, seemed to be in no rush. To be honest, you were stalling. Why wouldn’t you be? You were going to see your dead friend and try to make help him remember you.

You were nervous, and had every right to be. It wasn’t until you realized Kou was dragging you out somewhere that you snapped back into reality.

“Wait, wait, wait! Are you sure this is a good idea?” You asked frantically, already unsure if you even should try or not.

“Relax, (Y/N). It’ll be fine. I’ll be watching you two from a distance so if anything goes wrong, I’ll swoop in and help you out okay?” He assured, pulling you by the arm towards Mitsuba.

“Okay.” You agreed hesitantly, still nervous.

Seeing as through you were nervous, and obviously a bit uncomfortable, he said;

“If you don’t want to, we can just step back a bit and not. I’m not gonna force you into anything.”

You looked at him, then at a distracted Mitsuba in the distance.

You had to do this. This wasn’t a “I’ll do it later” kind of thing.

You needed to do this.

“It’s fine, I want to do this.” You confirmed.

He gave you a brief nod before going back to leading you him. Kou finally came to a stop, pushing you forward a bit so now you were face to face with the pink-haired ghost.

“Um.. hey?” You greeted awkwardly, shifting around uncomfortably.

“Hey.” Mitsuba replied, eying you.

“I’m gonna head to class, I’ll ask for your work so you can do it later. See you!” Kou hurriedly said, shooting Mitsuba a quick look that said ‘don’t you dare do anything stupid’ and ran off.

“So..” you say, clearing your throat after a few moments of silence.

“So?” He repeated, crossing his arms.

You felt like crying again, he looked the same from before.

Before he had died.

“Uh.. here I think I know where to start.” You say, reaching to grab his sleeve.

“Woah start where you pervert!” Mitsuba yelped, pulling his arm back.

Your lips quirked up in a smile, you missed this. Missed him.

“Aren’t you the pervert for thinking I’m going to do something to you?” You retorted with a smirk, leaving Mitsuba speechless.

“Hey! You’re just as much of a pervert if you already know what I’m thinking! You think you can take advantage of me just cause I’m a cute little ghost—?” He babbled, a bit flustered.

“Get it all out of your system yet?” You asked, crossing your arms.

He thought of something to say, he even opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. You smiled.

“Good, let’s go.” You hummed, grabbing his sleeve and dragging him away.

.

.

“C’mon Mitsuba! I got you something I think you might like!” You giggled, dragging Mitsuba with you.

“H-Hey! What’re you gonna do with me! Don’t think of trying to take advantage of me! I know I’m cute but still!” He practically wailed as he struggled to keep up with you.

You smiled, over time you found his attitude and remarks quite endearing.

“Okay close your eyes.” You instructed.

“What? I’m not gonna close my eyes. You’re probably just waiting for me to close my eyes so you can have your way wit—“

“Mitsuba.” You urged. “Please?”

He pouted, muttering something along the lines of “you’re lucky I love like you”.

Reluctantly, he closed his eyes.

You waved your hand in front of his face once, then twice. Once you confirmed he wasn’t peeking, you smiled and rushed over to your backpack to grab him something, a gift.

“Okay, now open them!” You giggled.

He peeled one open, and then the other. His eyes gleaming with joy when he saw what was in your hands.

A handmade scrapbook.

Sure, it was a bit messy. The letters were slightly crooked, stickers scattered and plastered on the front cover, bits of dry glue were sticking out. But to him it was perfect.

He stayed silent for a moment or two, just staring down at it once he took it from your hands.

“If you don’t like it just say so.” Your voice broke him out of his trance.

He smiled, but it wasn’t one of his cocky smiles.

It was genuine.

He shook his head, and huffed.

“It looks terrible!” Quickly adding “But I’m gonna keep it anyways so don’t ask for it back!” when he saw you reaching to take it back.

You smirked, “Just admit it, you love it.”

“What?! Of course not! It’s just not worth throwing out.” He insisted.

“So you love it.” You playfully teased with a smile.

“N-No!” He stuttered with a flushed face.

But his smile from before was enough to tell you, that he liked it.

.

.

You and Mitsuba were currently sitting near the stair case that led to rooftop.

“I gave this to you for your birthday before you..” You stopped yourself, instead opening the scrapbook that was very worn down.

You had managed to snag it from his house when they allowed you in.

Inside, were various pages of him and you together.

At the beach, sleepover’s, first and last day’s of school, of mesmerizing scenery you both took on your adventures together.

“Did you photoshop this? Are you that creepy?” He mumbled.

He felt something, like a pang in his cold lifeless heart, telling him that yes, he knew you.

But he didn’t remember you.

You ignored him, pointing at a picture of the school garden.

“You took this when I went out with you so you could take pictures to enter in some competition.”

He stared at them, then looked up at you. Maybe now he remembers who I am, you hoped.

But to your dismay, he gave you a confused look.

“Nope, nothing. I still don’t know who you are.”

You sighed.

“Let’s try something else then..”

.

.

“Hey Mitsuba?” You called.

“Yeah?” He hummed, he had been recently working on a new photograph for a project.

“You busy?” You asked, pulling up a chair and sitting by him.

“What? Can’t you see?” He asked sarcastically, before noticing the slight drop in your expression.

“Sorry.” He sighed “But yeah, I am.”

“With what?” You asked, placing your chin on his shoulder so you could better see what he was working on.

Shocked, and a bit embarrassed, he hid his laptop’s screen from you.

“None of your business!” He exclaimed with a flustered face.

You smirked.

“I bet you’re editing something perverted, aren’t you?” You teased, playfully poking his side.

His face flushed more, as he went on a ramble; “You think me, the cutest and sweetest boy you’ve ever met, could be capable of doing something like that? You’re the pervert then! What are you thinking of?”

You shook your head with a smile.

“I’m just kidding ‘mitsu. Calm down.” You say with a chuckle.

He huffed, going back to work. He hadn’t noticed he stopped preventing you from seeing his previous project, and what you saw made your face flush.

It was a picture he had taken of you two, you both were smiling, at an old sleepover of yours. You distinctly remember that night, so vividly.

As the last night you slept over.

.

.

Mitsuba looked at the picture in his hands, his cold ghostly touch contrasted against the warm feel the picture gave him.

“Huh.” He hummed, narrowing his eyes down at the picture.

You wait hopefully, for any sign that he remembered you, but when he just looked up at you confused, you sighed.

“Still don’t remember me?” You asked, thought it was pointless since you already knew the answer.

“Yeah.” He answered, his voice sounded a bit timid, honestly feeling a bit bad.

He knew what it felt like to be forgotten, so he kind of knew how you felt.

You sighed, letting your head fall forward hitting the wall. You stayed there, maybe for a second or less. Then suddenly, you perked up.

“Fifth time’s the charm right?”

.

.

“Where are you taking me?” He asked, looking around as if trying to identify his surroundings.

He opened his mouth to say something, but you quickly interrupted him.

“Just, be patient.” You sighed, clearly tired as it was already starting to be sundown and you still had no luck.

You lifted up a branch, to show some secluded area.

“Are you gonna kill me?!” He yelped, trying to pull his sleeve back from you.

“Can’t kill what’s already dead.” You hummed, revealing a hidden staircase that also led to the rooftop.

“Then what are we doing here?” He asked.

You sighed.

.

.

You had barely gotten out of your first class, exhaustedly dragging your feet to the nearest staircase. And that’s when you heard it.

A loud yelp, that you would’ve assumed was a girl’s if it weren’t for the slightest hint of masculinity in it. You rushed to see a pink haired boy, dressed in the elementary uniform. There were a group of kids, one of them was presumably holding what looked like to be the boy’s camera.

“Give that back!” He shouted, jumping up to attempt to reach for it, only to get shoved down.

Kind of frozen in shock, you didn’t know what to do. But you knew you couldn’t just turn around and leave him to their torture.

So you shouted what literally no logical person any normal person would.

“Hey!”

Really? Hey? What the hell was that gonna do?

They turned their focus onto you, a shocked look on what seemed to be the ‘leader’s’ face.

“What’d you say?” The guy scoffed, tossing the camera to one of his friends—making Mitsuba yelp again as he thought they’d drop it and it’d break.

Not wanting to back down, you stood your ground.

“Don’t you know what ‘hey’ means?” You asked sarcastically, glaring at them.

You were glad that you were at a far enough distance that they couldn’t see how your legs were trembling slightly in fear.

“You have some nerve—“ he started, but never got to finish.

“Like you’re one to talk. Picking on someone just cause! You must be really insecure of yourself to stoop that low.” You unintentionally retorted.

His ‘friends’ snorted, and he turned around to glare at them. He whipped back around to look at you, walking down the stairs. Slowly, or at least that’s what you assumed. Because it looked pretty intimidating to you. Like a snake staring down at it’s prey.

“I’m going to give you one last chance to turn your pretty face around, and act like you didn’t see anything.” He warned, and even though you were scared, you kept on a calm façade.

“And if I don’t?” That seemed like such a dangerous sentence, you gave a quick glance to the boy, as if trying to send him a message of some sort.

He gave you a look that told you it all if you didn’t, he didn’t need to use words.

“Fine.” You huffed, turning around to ‘leave’.

“That’s what I thought.” He scoffed, and just as he let his guard down and left to head back to the boy, you slammed your shoulder hard into his, unintentionally of course, but it made him stumble.

You quickly ran up a few steps, helping the boy up.

“Give me that.” You demanded, snatching it from one of his friends who was clearly stunned.

“Why you little—“ and you knew you had no more time to think, you grabbed the boy’s hand and ran.

You ran as far away as you could until you knew you were safe. You both ended up in the room for the photography club, panting heavily from the running.

“Are you,” you coughed “you good?”

“Yeah..” he managed to choke out as he desperately tried to catch his breath.

After a few moments, and when you finally caught your breath, you realized you were still holding his camera. You cleared your throat.

“I uh.. I think this belongs to you.” You say, handing the camera to him.

He smiled warmly at you, taking it from you. He looked down at it, before mumbling something inaudible to your ears.

“Huh?” You asked.

“My name, it’s Mitsuba.” He explained.

You smiled back, “Nice to meet you Mitsuba.”

“I’m (Y/N).”

.

.

The place you took him to, was the the place you first met him. You smiled, though it looked even more hopeless the more he looked at it. He gave you a puzzled look.

“You sure you’re not trying to have your way with me cause I’m such a cute ghost boy.” He asked, a little too seriously—flashing you his cocky grin.

Your smile faded, and you sighed, flopping down on the grass below you. You rested your head on your knees.

“You know what, I give up. I give up that’s it. It’s pointless anyway.” You whispered barely loud enough for Mitsuba to hear.

You couldn’t risk talking louder than that, you were scared your voice would crack. You laughed, but it didn’t sound too happy. Actually, it didn’t sound happy at all. It sounded pained, and it felt like someone stabbed Mitsuba right through the heart when he heard it.

“Hey,” he whispered, kneeling down with you.

“It’s okay.” He tried to assure, though he was looking around uncomfortably, unsure of what to say to comfort you.

“It’s not okay. How could this be okay?” You sobbed, finally breaking down.

You looked up at him, and when he saw that teary look in your (E/C) eyes, that’s when he broke.

He didn’t say anything else, only hugging you. Assuming that would be the only reasonable thing to do. But when he touched you, he suddenly tensed up. And a wave of emotions crashed over him, threatening to drown him.

He remembered you.

He smiled brightly, and you gave him a look of ‘what the hell?’ and ‘how could me crying make you happy?’.

He finally remembered you.

“(N/N)?” He called.

Your eyes widened in surprise, and without hesitation, you jumped in his arms.

“Oh my god! (Y/N) it’s you!” He practically squealed with how happy he was.

You sobbed into his shoulder, happy that he finally remembered you.

It took till 7:45 p.m. the whole school day, but god was it worth it. You hugged him tightly, and he patted your back awkwardly, but still welcomed your embrace.

“Hey! Just cause I’m cute doesn’t mean you can touch me however you want.” He joked, trying to get you to stop crying and maybe laugh a little.

And he succeeded, earning a wet chuckle from you.

“I’m not interrupting anything, am I?” Kou asked.

Mitsuba glared at him, as he thought his presence spoiled your guys’s moment.

You wiped your tears and laughed, it cracked a bit, but it was a happy one nonetheless.

“What’s up Kou?” You greeted, sitting up.

“Your aunt told me to come get you, I let her know where you were since she was worrying that you weren’t home yet. C’mon.” He says, smiling.

You looked back at Mitsuba, giving him one last hug.

A hug that Mitsuba swore made his heart flutter, though he’d never admit it to anyone of course. No matter if they were living or dead. Your hug felt warm, the first time he felt anything while he was dead, he was happy as you draped your arms around his neck—before letting him go and standing up.

“I’ll see you tomorrow?” You asked, wiping the last of your tears with a smile.

“Yeah.” He agreed with a smile of his own.

“Hate to break the moment here,” Kou said, “but your aunt just texted me if I found you yet.” showing you his phone screen.

“Shit we have to go then, bye ‘Mitsu!” You rushed, speeding out with Kou.

“Bye!” He shouted after you.

.

.

BONUS!! sorta..

“You know you’ll have to be careful, right?” Mitsuba heard Sakura’s monotonous voice echo, making him jump slightly from the unannounced presence.

“Geez you scared the crap out of me!” He yelped, sighing in relief when he realized it was her and not him.

“Did you hear me?” Sakura repeated, to which Mitsuba only let out a confused ‘huh’.

“You know what’ll happen if Tsukasa catches wind of this.” Sakura warned, genuinely worried for the dead photographer.

His expression dropped, contorted into a petrified one. He’s always thought it was thunder that scared him the most, but clearly he hadn’t met Tsukasa.

“Yeah..” he mumbled, reasonably unenthusiastically.

“Then, since you know the possible consequences, be more cautious. He pops out of no where sometimes.” She said with a sigh, shaking her head.

“Okay.” Was all he managed to mumble.

He couldn’t risk anyone or anything hurting you.

Especially not Tsukasa Yugi.

(A/N) : WOOOO I finished. My hands are so tired but I can’t stop writing. I can’t help but think I’m rushing this story a bit, but then again it’s only the 3rd chapter so maybe not? I’m trying to make it as much of a slow burn romance so lmk if it feels like it’s going too fast even though act II is literally just trying to help him remember Kou and finding him all over again and you don’t actually get to be with him till like act V(five). I’m tired so I think I’m just gonna crash sleep for a bit before I have to go to some college program. Hope you enjoyed it!! If not tell me and I’ll try to fix it.

Kou Mukami 07 - Chaos Lineage

At long last, here's the remainder of Kou's Chaos Lineage chapters!

I want to give a BIG thank you to @46snowfox for allowing me to use their Spanish translations as a base for me to get these out faster. I didn't just copy and paste from one language to another, I redid a majority of the translations myself to make sure it made sense in English.

As usual, ***I do not mind if you use my translations as a base for another language, I just ask that you credit both 46snowfox as the original translator and myself as the English translator if you do!***

You can find Kou's previous chapters in @tournesolia's masterlist linked down below!

https://tournesolia.tumblr.com/

PLACE: Forest

Azusa: When I returned to the mansion, I was surprised to learn that Kou and the others were in the dungeon ... ...

Kou: I'm sorry I scared you. I thought that Subaru-kun would recover his memories if he suffered some sort of a shock.

Yet he didn't end up remembering anything.

Yui: (I think that the shock we suffered when we recovered our memories was something a bit different though ... ...)

But I hope that today we can make some progress.

Kou: Yes, today's goal is to collect information, I'm sure it will work out well.

————————————

Yui's Monologue:

–- If we cannot recover the memories, then we must find some way to leave this land.

After talking about it, we decided to investigate this place further.

Because the information we could get in the mansion was very scarce and since Kou-kun and Azusa-kun were worried that I would remain there alone, the three of us decided to go out together.

————————————

Azusa: It's good that we managed to get out of the mansion safely ... ...

Kou: For real, since Carla-kun has no openings and Laito-kun is too observant.

As for Subaru-kun ... ... Well, he was pretty easy to avoid. He had a hard time getting out.

Yui: Hey, where are we heading now?

Azusa: The church and the other mansions are ... ... in the opposite direction.

Kou: When we went out to do some scouting, we didn't come through this area.

So we thought that if there was something, then it must be around here.

Azusa: It would be nice if we could get out of these lands or be able to ask for help ... ...

Yui: That's true. Even though I'm walking here I am unable to recognize this place.

Yui: Where did they bring us? ... ... And, just who did it?

(That's right, I don't think this happened naturally, someone must have kidnapped us.)

Kou: When talking with the others, we came to the conclusion that someone altered our memories and brought us to this place.

I don't know who it was, but it puts me in a really bad mood.

Azusa: Yeah ... ... it doesn't make me happy ... ...

Kou: If we want to get out of here, then we can't miss today's opportunity. We must collect information, no matter what kind.

Yui: You're right. I don't think we'd be able to escape the mansion multiple times after all.

Azusa: It's alright for us to search but ... … but I don't think we can relax much ... ...

If we're late to return, Carla-san might notice ... ...

Kou: That's the most dangerous. We have no choice, let's hurry up. With that being said, M-neko-chan?

Yui: Eh?

*He moves closer and picks her up*

Yui: Kya!

(H-he picked me up ... ... !)

Kou: We're faster, so you have to make sure to hold on tight so you don't fall off.

Yui: Y-yes ... ...

*She grabs onto him*

Kou: Alright! Let's get going!

*They start running, time passes*

Azusa: Phew ... ... We've walked quite a bit ... ...

Kou: We should be leaving the forest soon. Ah, hey, look!

Yui: (There's an opening between the trees. Is that the forest's exit?)

(If we go there, it's possible that we will find something!)

PLACE: The Edge of the Miniature Garden

Kou: Eh ... ... ?

Yui: What ... ... is this ... ...

Azusa: It can't be ... ...

————————————

Yui's Monologue:

-- There must be something beyond this point.

Within my chest were high hopes for it, but what lay ahead was an endless cliff.

And no matter how far we looked down, all there was was an invisible abyss.

No matter how hard I squinted my eyes, I couldn't see another side as the horizon was vague and blurry.

I never expected to see such a sight with my own eyes.

All we could do was stare at the storm in a daze, speechless.

————————————

Yui: The fact that this cliff has no end means that ... ...

The land we are on is like some kind of isolated island in the middle of the air ... ... ?

Azusa: So then ... ... we won't be able to go out ... ... or ask for help ... ...

Kou: It was impossible to imagine that a place as rare as this could exist.

Just where are we ... ...

Yui: That's ... ...

Azusa: ... ... ... ...

PLACE: Forest

Kou: ... ... ... ...

Azusa: ... ... ... ...

Yui: (Not even in my dreams would I have thought that this landscape would be what we would find when we came out of the forest.)

(Due to shock, these two haven't talked much ... ...)

(... ... Just what is this place?)

Kou: ... ... Was it really that naive to think that we would get some kind of information?

In the end we only found that cliff.

Azusa: But ... ... we already understand what this land is ... ...

I'm sure ... ... that this is a world unknown to us ... ...

Even in the demon world ... ... there was no place like this either ... ...

And in the human world there would be a big fuss if there was a place like this ... ...

Yui: ... ... ... ...

(A world separated from the rest and where no one can intervene, it's as if it were ... ...)

It's like a miniature garden ... ...

Kou: ... ... A miniature garden ... ...

Yui: Ah ... ... Sorry, I said something weird.

Kou: No, I thought so too.

Anyway, let's get back to the mansion. If we don't hurry Carla-kun is going to --

*Rustle*

Kou: ... ...?! Someone's coming.

Yui: ... ...

(Is it Carla-san or the others? Or is it someone from another family ... ...?!)

Yuma: Oh, I finally found something similar to a path ... … Wait, it's you guys?!

Kou: Yuma-kun?!

Azusa: Why are you here Yuma ... ...?

Yuma: That's my line. Why is Eve here? ... ...Though the reason doesn't matter.

*He draws his sword*

I was just bored, I didn't think we'd end up meeting out here.

I don't care if it's two against one, come at me!

Kou: Yuma-kun ... ...

Yui: (For the Yuma-kun with altered memories, Kou-kun and Azusa-kun are enemies ... ...)

(At this rate, just like with Ruki-kun they are going to-–)

Yui: Please Yuma-kun, drop your weapon! We want to have a talk with you!

Kou: M-neko-chan ... ...

Yuma: A talk? You're saying that to lower my guard, aren't you?

Yui: That's not–-

Yuma: It's fine so just come at me. No matter what, I'm coming either way?

Azusa: Yuma ... ...

Kou: There's no way I can fight against Yuma-kun ... ... !

Yui: (Kou-kun, Azusa-kun ... ...)

( ... ... I have to think of something. I have to think of a method so they don't fight.)

(Yuma-kun doesn't want to talk. What should I do to convince him?)

(... ... I know.)

Yuma: They're not even going to bare their weapons? Then that means I can take Eve right?

Kou: Anything but that!

Yuma: Then hurry up and grab your weapon!

Yui: Wait!! Don't fight here, Yuma-kun.

You can take me!!

Yuma: Huh ... ... ? Huuh?!

Kou: Wha- ... ... ?! Are you serious?!

Azusa: T-That's right. If you do that, you're going to ... ...

Yui: I'll be fine. Since I'm Eve, I'm sure that they will not kill or do anything cruel to me.

Besides, we have to avoid fighting with Yuma-kun no matter what, and risk hurting each other.

Kou: Still ... ... There's no way I'd allow that!

Nothing guarantees that they won't hurt you. If ... ... If they do something cruel to you, I'll ... ... !

Yui: Kou-kun ... ...

Azusa: I'm also against it ... ... We don't know what could happen, so we can't hand you over ... ...

Yui: ... ...Thank you. But no matter what, you guys can't fight Yuma-kun.

If you did that, I'm sure you'd never get over it.

I'll be fine! Besides, if I stay with Yuma-kun there is a chance that I will recover his memories!

Kou: So that's ... ... your choice.

... ... Understood.

*He walks over to Yuma*

Kou: Hey Yuma-kun. Take me too.

Yui: Eh?!

Yuma: ... ... Huh?!

Yui: You want us to take you too ... ...

Selection:

————————————

-> You can't do that ♙♡

Yui: You can't do that! You could be put in danger ... ...

Kou: So you can put yourself at risk, but I can't?

I love that kind side of you, but I won't give in either.

I know you're thinking of me.

But it's the same for me ... ... No, I think of you even more.

————————————

-> Thank you ♟

Yui: (I did say that but ... ... Truthfuly I'm actually scared. Since they don't have their memories, I don't know what they could do to me.)

(Kou-kun will also be coming ... ...)

Thank you ... ... But is it really okay?

Kou: Of course! Even if it was against your will, I wouldn't leave you alone.

Yui: Kou-kun ... ...

————————————

Kou: Besides, just like you said, there's a chance we'll get Yuma-kun back.

Even if it's a bit dangerous, I'm determined to go.

Azusa: Then I too ... ... will go with you ... ...

Yui: Azusa-kun ... ... !

Azusa: I feel the same ... … as Kou ... ... Even if you ask me not to, I will definitely follow you ... ...

Yui: Yeah ... ... !

Kou: So, now that that's settled ... ...

I ask that you to take us away, Yuma-kun!

Yuma: ... ... Are you for real ... ... ?

*They start walking, some time passes*

Kou: Hey Yuma-kun. We've walked quite a lot. Haven't we reached the Scarlet mansion yet?

Yuma: Shut it. We're almost there, so keep quiet and walk.

Kou: Kaaaay. Aahh~, he got mad.

Yuma: Damn, what's wrong with them? There's just no way ... ...

These guys are following after me without an ounce of caution.

I'm glad I caught Eve, but this is definitely weird ... ...

PLACE: Forest Stone Path

Yui: (We've been walking for quite a long time now, aren't we there yet? This is starting to get difficult.)

(I feel like I'm far behind compared to the others.)

(There's a great distance between Yuma-kun and Azusa-kun ... ...)

Kou: Are you okay M-neko-chan? Aren't tired?

Yui: (Ah, did Kou-kun noticed that I was having a hard time?)

No, I'm fine. This is nothing.

(Although instead of using a rope to tie my arms, Yuma-kun used ivy ... ...)

Yui: (It doesn't bother me when I walk.)

Kou: I see, that's good. But let me know if it gets hard for you, okay?

Yui: Yes, thank you. I'm sorry I worried you.

Kou: Don't worry about it! After all, we're a very lovey-dovey couple!

Because of that, it's normal for us to worry about each other, isn't it?

I love you so much. So much so that I'm always worried about whether or not you're going through something bad?

That's why I have to touch and examine you like this.

*He starts touching Yui*

Yui: K-Kou-kun! Don't get clingy to me at a place like this ... ...

Kou: It's fine. It actually makes you happy, right? Also, by doing this ... ...

*He comes closer to her*

Yui: Kya ... ... !

Kou: Fufu, are you nervous? Your face is all red, how cute.

Even though this isn't the first time I've done this, you never really get used to it.

Hey, I'm sure we'll arrive at the Scarlet mansion soon. Can you walk a little more?

Yui: Yes I can! Thanks for cheering me up.

Kou: You're welcome!

I'm sure everything will be fine. Bad things don't last long. Isn't that right?

Yui: (Kou-kun ... ...)

Kou: When I'm with you I can think like that. That's why let's do our best together without giving up.

Yui: You're right! When I'm with Kou-kun I feel like I can do anything.

(That's why I'm not going to give up. We'll definitely get out of here!)

character(s) - bokuto x kuroo x gn!reader

cw - gn!reader, poly, food, bad pet names, kissing, mental health (not super explicit??), soft

authors note - ayy the first thing i’ve written in literal months!! i’ve had this idea for a while and i hope you guys like it. i wrote this with a gender neutral reader in mind but if i fucked up somewhere let me know and i will fix it!!

word count - 853

When Bokuto woke up, he knew it was gonna be a bad day.

His head hurt and he still felt tired even after sleeping 8 hours, and he couldn’t make himself even get out of bed.

Hidden in the darkness of his room, he went back to sleep.

⨯ . ⁺ ✦ ⊹ ꙳ ⁺ ‧ ⨯. ⁺ ✦ ⊹ . * ꙳ ✦ ⊹

You were immediately concerned when during your first class, Koutarou’s seat remained empty. Your older boyfriend almost never missed school, even when he was sick. 

You almost smiled thinking about all the times you and Tetsurou had to force Koutarou to rest.

But the fond memory didn’t banish your worry.

You sent a quick text to Koutarou asking where he was before you had to put your phone away for class.

During lunch, you sat down in your normal spot with the volleyball team, immediately asking Akaashi, “Do you know where Bokuto is?”

Akaashi looked up from his food at you. “Hello to you too, Y/n.”

“I’m sorry. Hello, Keiji. Do you know where Bokuto is?”

He took another bite of his food. “No I do not. He wasn’t at morning practice today.”

Your heart dropped to your stomach. Koutarou almost never skipped practice unless he was really sick. You nodded, “Thank you,” and sat down to eat your lunch.

⨯ . ⁺ ✦ ⊹ ꙳ ⁺ ‧ ⨯. ⁺ ✦ ⊹ . * ꙳ ✦ ⊹

The school day was over, and Koutarou hadn’t responded to your message. Sighing, you dialed Tetsurou’s number.

Immediately you heard a cheeky, “Hey, darling.”

Hearing his voice immediately made you calmer. “Hey, Tetsu. Have you heard from Kou at all today?”

You heard shuffling on the other end. “No I haven’t. Is everything okay?”

You took a breath. “No, he wasn’t at school today and Akaashi said that he wasn’t at practice, and you know he never skips practice and I-“

“-Hey I know you’re worried, but I’m sure he’s fine. I have practice right now so I have to go. I’m sure it’s nothing, but if you’re this worried, maybe you can go over to his house and check on him. I can come over after practice, okay? Love you!”

You smiled, feeling more at ease, “Love you too.” You hung up.

The walk to Koutarou’s house felt longer than it usually did, but you blamed it on the nerves. Reaching the door, you knocked and it opened to reveal Koutarou’s mother.

Her eyes lit up once she saw you. “Y/n!” She pulled you into a hug. “Kou has been a bit, er, down today, I’m glad you’re here.”

“Thank you, Bokuto-san,” you said. “Is he in his room?”

She smiled, “Yes he is. Is Tetsurou also coming?”

You nodded. “He has practice right now, but he’ll be over after that.”

You continued to talk to Koutarou’s mom, before making your way upstairs. 

You knocked lightly on the doorframe. “Hey, baby.”

A muffled noise came from under the mound of blankets and comforters.

You walked over to the bed, sitting on the edge and gently stroking his hair. “What’s wrong?” you asked.

Koutarou whined, burying deeper into the covers. “I dunno, I just woke up and everything was so overwhelming and my head hurt and I couldn’t get up and-” His honey golden eyes filled with tears.

“Oh, love, don't cry it’s alright,” you said, smoothing his hair and stroking his cheek. “I’m gonna stay with you today if you’re comfortable with that. Tetsu has practice but he said he’d come over immediately after, although it might be a while.”

Not having the energy to respond, Koutarou nodded and grabbed your wrist, lightly tugging. 

You threw off your blazer, and got into bed, allowing Koutarou to bury his face in your neck and let out a sigh of relief. You pressed a kiss to the top of his head and he relaxed even more.

You gently scratched his scalp as he fell asleep.

⨯ . ⁺ ✦ ⊹ ꙳ ⁺ ‧ ⨯. ⁺ ✦ ⊹ . * ꙳ ✦ ⊹

It had been a few hours, and Koutarou was still asleep while you scrolled on your phone.

“Knock knock.”

You looked up to see Tetsurou leaning in the doorframe. You smiled at him, before holding a finger to your lips and tilting your head at Koutarou. He nodded, setting down his school and volleyball bags, and removed his blazer and tie.

As gently as possible, he sat down on the other side of Koutarou, and leaned over to kiss you. Although he was asleep, Tetsurou also kissed Koutarou’s forehead. Koutarou shifted in his sleep closer to Tetsurou.

“Was it one of those days?” Tetsurou whispered.

You nodded.

Tetsurou gently ran his fingers through Koutarou’s hair, softly humming. Eventually, Koutarou stirred.

He blinked, looking around the room, before his eyes settled on Tetsurou. He seemed to perk up, and turned to snuggle into Tetsurou’s chest. Tetsurou softly laughed, and kissed his forehead again.

You smiled, at your boys, settling down behind Koutarou so he could be surrounded by the both of you.

“I love you guys,” Koutarou whispered.
