Hi, lovely! ♡ I hope you have a great and wonderful day! I found your blog a few nights ago and well, I really liked your writings. They're really intriguing (even if I only read the MHA ones since it's the only fandom I know ><).

OH! Also, I saw your matchup event, and I think it's really cute and adorable. I'd like to have a matchup if it is alright with you ♡♡

For the match-making deals, I choose tarot card matchups, love fortunes, and potions! For the potion, I'd like Innocent Love potion please ><

For the matchup questions

1. She/her

2. I'll describe it heheh. I dyed my hair red since I was in high school. My hair is long and wavy. I have dark brown eyes with double eyelid. My skin is light. Ah, I also have crooked teeth. They're my insecurity hahah but I don't have the chance to fix them yet :(( For my outfit, well, I go with my mood that day! Some days I wear simple shirt with simple jeans, the other days I wear shirt with long skirt or a dress. I am 167 cm!

3. Hmm, while I'm fine with both, I love boys more!

4. I'm in my early twenties!

5. I want a partner who can accept me for who I am, who won't change me to "fit" the society standards. I like someone who I can talk to. I love good listeners, yes. But I also want to hear their thoughts. I want to know what they think, what they feel, what are their dreams, their opinions, their feelings, their stories-- I love listening to others as much as I love sharing my thoughts to others. I also, mm, well... I'm not a romantic. I'm awkward. I don't mind someone who is not a romantic, but I also don't mind if they're romantic. The thing is-- what I expect from my partner is that the knowledge that we will always have each other. That I have you, and you have me, and we're in this together. Life is hard, but at least I know you will always support me even if I fail, I know you will hold my hand and never let me go through this alone, and I will do the same to you. Oh, one more... I am a bit possessive ahahah, so... I think I want a partner who only sees me and me only. No other people in the frame. Well! Those are... the qualities I want from my partner.

6. I love hydrangeas and sunflowers!

7. Endeavor, Mineta, Present Mic, AFO, all MLA members (Geten, Skeptic, etc), Stain, Muscular, Mustard, Moon-whoever it is, Spinner, and Compress (can't see them as potential partners ahahah).

8. Oh, I don't mind! I have some favorite villains in mind-- like Dabi and Shigaraki.

9. My Hero Academia!

Thank you so much, Abella! ♡♡♡

Fortune Teller Match Maker 🔮 Anime Matchups 💘

Wow I’m honored you like my MHA fics, thank you for your support. I don't think they're my best written works but I certainly enjoyed writing all those fics. You’re more than welcome to send me a matchup. I'm so happy you like my writing. It was fun doing a matchup for my hero academia. Also there's no need to be self cautious about crooked teeth, no one has perfect teeth, I'm sure you look perfect the way you are. You have a wonderful day too, lovely follower of mine.

My Hero Academia

Abella smiles at your first fortune telling request, a crystal ball reading. She is sure you'll enjoy the reading as it reveals who your potential true love is.

"This will be romantic, take a seat at my table and we'll begin."

You take a seat on a stack of square shaped cushions in front of her round purple table. She waves her hand over the table and you see a puff of pink smoke. After the table is cleared up and her hot pink crystal ball appears at the center of the table she is ready. She is seated across you on a round orange stool.

"For my reading to be more accurate I'll either need to hold your hand or place my hand on top of your own."

Nodding in understanding you hold out your hand to her. She begins the reading, placing her hand on the crystal ball. You notice the hearts across her face begin lighting up pink as does a huge rose shaped symbol on the ground surrounding you two. Your red wavy locks of hair float in the air as does Abella's curly hair. You feel a strange pull on your soul but thankfully Abella's hand is reassuring.

"I see... your lover wasn't who I expected. However I see he would treat you very well." She opens her eyes as her crystal ball glows a bright pink, revealing an outline of a male with spikey hair.

The crystal ball shows you an image a male with spikey black hair and cold blue eyes. He is covered in burn marks and stitches from the waist up, including his face. He is in his early twenties.

"Your true love is Toya Todoroki but he also goes by the name Dabi."

"Dabi is on the path of darkness at the moment but I see if he were to fall in love with you he would better himself and hold your words in high regard. He too doesn't want a partner judging him for his looks nor ideals so he'd return the sentiment you. He makes a great match with you for this reason. He also won't change you to "fit" the society standards, as he too doesn't fit the norm for societies standards. He too desires the type of partnership you're looking for as he isn't romantic himself. He wouldn't mind your possessiveness either."

You're surprised to be matched with someone from the league of villains at first but after hearing Abella's words you understand why.

"Dabi would discover a new path to his life with you at his side. He has many ideals about the society we live in.. I feel like you'd understand him better if you heard his reasoning. He also faces many traumas I think you should also understand seeing as he took the path the darkness for all these reasons. You're not judgmental and Dabi would respect you for it. There's a path to love for partners with a deep trust in each other."

You take in all her words, processing everything. After a moment you understand why you're paired with Dabi a bit better. Abella snaps her fingers again and the crystal ball and the glowing symbol on the ground are gone. The hearts on her face are no longer glowing either. She asks you of your next request and she's intrigued by what your tarot card reading will be like. She snaps her fingers and you notice her tarot card deck on the table. She begins shuffling. She lines them up for you so you can choose two cards.

Once you've chosen she shuffles them again and her hearts on her cheeks begin glowing as does her pink deck of cards. You notice the cards floating out of her reach and they circle around you two individually. The rose symbol on the ground appears again and your cards are glowing, she pays no mind to all that transpired as she begins with your first tarot card by flipping it over with a polished nail.

The first card reveals a pink image of a couple holding a cup in their hands while facing each other. Above them is a floating winged being. The couple is looking into each others eyes. The image looks peaceful since they both wear flower crowns.

"Two of cups, the card represents commitment, a balanced relationship, and love. You will have a healthy relationship full of love and understanding."

She looks to your next card allowing you a moment to take in all her words. The next card she flips over shows a king on a throne with a beard and frown, holding a scepter.

"The Emperor. In love this card reflects a very sturdy male figure and may suggest the presence of a long-term partner."

Her reading made you think back to Dabi and what the relationship between him might be like. You think back to the other details in his background before Abella asks you for your next request. She appears to be happy knowing you're interested in one of her potions since only a handful of people request them. She goes to the shelf of potions to ask you which one you prefer. Her eyes widened at the one you chose. She respects your courage.

She waves her hand over the deck and it disappears in a puff of pink smoke. The pink potion you request, 'Innocent Love' is a soft light pink. The bottle is a clear pink and rectangular shaped. The lid has two swans forming into a heart.

"This potion will give you the courage necessary to talk to your true love with your heart on your sleeve. Meaning you might reveal your innermost feelings for them."

Abella left out the part where your true love might return your love for such courage. She knew you would figure it out eventually. Your dark brown eyes widen but you agree to drinking the potion. You feel like the added courage will be necessary for someone in the league of villains. Perhaps you'll be able to help Dabi in the process.

"Very well, consume every last drop of this tiny bottle. It should be very helpful but do remember the potion can only take you so far. You'll need to do most of the work. Love works in many ways and who you're matched with needs a lot of it for you to succeed."

You understood her words and drink the potion. It didn't make you feel any different. It had a berry taste but also a taste of coconut milk and a sweet flavor you couldn't pinpoint. Abella leads you to the center of her tent to summon portal for you. The hearts on her face as well as the rose symbol on the ground surrounding you two are glowing pink. The portal at the center glows a white.

"The portal will lead you to your true love. I must warn you not to call him by his real name. Only address him as Dabi. You'll really need to prove your trust to him. Be careful and don't be disheartened if it doesn't work out. Love needs time and effort from both of your ends. Good luck to you."

You leave after her parting words. The portal led you to a port outside the city. It was an odd location but you don't think too much about it since you're thinking a lot about Dabi. You wonder what would be the best way to talk to him and you settle on simply talking to him both casually and carefully. Best not to address his position in the league of villains. You decide to wander around.

You head toward the dock when you notice Dabi injured not too far away from you. He is clutching his side in pain. You decide to go to his side to help him. He's against the wall with plenty of injuries along his body. It was a bit crazy seeing him in person but your main focus is him. His tall figure leans over your short one. You're thankful you decided to wear plain jeans and a simple shirt today, they're getting covered in his blood.

He is too tired to care you're helping him. He's glad a hero didn't stumble across him. He is in no shape to escape nor fight. You lay him down on the ground and use a handkerchief to wipe off his blood from his face and waist. He fell asleep beside you with his face on your delicate knee. You adjust him so his head is on your lap. You didn't want to leave him alone like this. You stay with him until he wakes up.

When Dabi woke up he was surprised with the situation. He's thankful he managed to escape the hero he had to fight off but he is surprised a random person would help him given his reputation. You ask him if he's okay or needs any help. He looks to his wounds to see you covered them with ripped parts of his trench coat and your shirt. You see the confusion in his blue eyes, wondering what could be going through his mind.

"Why did you help me?"

"I couldn't leave you here injured, could I?"

"You easily could've."

"It's not right to you."

He laughs knowing its far from the truth but deep down he's grateful since you did help him. Not that he would admit it. You introduce yourself and he simply tells you to call him Dabi.

"Will you be able to walk?"

"Not likely. Don't expect me to go easy on you if you call the police on me."

"I won't. I'm trying to help you."

He looked surprised by your answer but said nothing else. He thinks about how you stayed by his side and used your lap to lay his head on.

"You were unconscious for two hours." You explain looking at his bruised hands.

"Two hours?" He thought back to the fight with a grimace on his face.

"Do you need my help getting else where?"

His eyes widened. You're willing to sneak him back to his hide out despite his reputation in the villain league? You're no regular civilian. You must be genuinely concerned for him. He decides your help would be better than nothing. You're also not willing to call the police. Even if you did he would simply kill you. He tells you a secretive path toward a hiding place near his hang out, a.k.a his living space.

It took about an hour but you managed to get him to the location. On the way you got him to talk to you. You both had nice talk. Surprisingly he wasn't against talking to you. By the time you got him to his destination he decided he wanted your presence to be longer by asking you on a date. He took a vial he got from the black market to heal his injuries but he did so while he went into his hideout. When he went back to you he wouldn't say how he healed his injuries. All he would tell you is how it's a secret.

He ends up taking you to a nearby harbor in the city with a hoodie on. You two continued your pleasant discussions with one another. You learned a lot about each other and even talked about Stain for a moment. About his ideals and how you understand the league of villains are after their purpose for a reason. You also explained to Dabi why it is you helped him. He was pretty thankful for your generosity and selflessness.

"Not everyday I'm saved by a pretty girl." He said nonchalantly.

He made you blush but you compliment him back since he had a smile on his face.

"And it's not everyday I help someone so handsome."

He laughed, admiring the compliment. He pointed out your bloody shirt since it was torn at the bottom from when you used it as a wrapping for his wound. He told you he thought it was awfully considerate for a stranger. You explain how you couldn't leave him behind again.

"Thanks, sweetheart. Ya know it's been a long time since someone looked at me without judgement. Your the first in a while, aside from the others in the villain league."

"Given your reputation I'm sure you must do a lot of hiding. I think people don't think about walking in the shoes of someone else's footsteps."

"It would be nice if others would consider that but in this shit society we live in, it will never happen. Heroes don't help others."

"I think a lot of them lose sight of what's important. I think I can understand."

"Everyone is out for themselves in this world. I know how it is." Dabi looks over to you thankful for your understanding.

Your brown eyes are in deep thought. You look so beautiful to him as he's admiring you thinking. It's nice talking to someone who understands. After much more discussion Dabi is relieved you turn out to be a good date. No one wants a genuine connection with him.

He admired all your features as you talked. How your long wavy locks made your red hair look so beautiful or how your fair skin brought out your red hair more. Your smile and crooked teeth as you smiled never looked more beautiful than it did now. He admired all the details of your lovely appearance.

"Ya know Dabi I know we are at a harbor but talking to you made this one of the best dates I've ever been on. I think the more I get to know you the more I come to realize how admirable you are."

Your sincerity was simply very attractive to him. He felt his heart rate go up and goosebumps littered his skin. He grinned remembering you mentioned the desire for a partner who wouldn't judge you nor have expectations of wanting you to fit into societies standards. He could very well see himself having the desire to be at your side. Before he could give you his thoughts you continue to talk. The potions affects are revealed as is your inner thoughts.

"Most of all I want to know what you think, what you feel, what are your dreams, opinions, feelings, stories--The thing is-- what I expect from my partner is that the knowledge that we will always have each other. That I have you, and you have me, and we're in this together. Life is hard, but at least I know you will always support me even if I fail, I know you will hold my hand and never let me go through this alone, and I will do the same to you."

Even for someone such as Dabi was touched by your words. He was surprised but it certainly charmed him. The desire for companionship, a partner at his side. You're very sincere. To fully express your desires of him made his own heart sink with desire for you. He thought he would always be shrouded in darkness but it's now he realizes somewhere along the lines he too also has a want for love. He wraps his arm around your shoulders. Though shorter than him he still made you feel comforted in his soft touch. He realized how his desire for love, no you, made him feel. How he would love nothing more than to receive your love in return. A promise he makes you as your brown eyes look deep into his sapphire eyes.

Before you realize, he kisses you after such a promise. You return the promise with your own kiss. Afterwards he smiles and you two sit in comfortable silence enjoying each other's presence. Afterwards Dabi explains he'll have to go soon but he wants to make sure your safe. You explain the location you wish to return to, downtown. He walks you there and he promises you another date. You head toward Abella's tent so you can thank her. In her tent she is filling her nails. You greet her and she smiles, greeting you in return. She stood up to talk to you.

"I take it your evening went well from the look on your face."

You tell Abella about how well it went. She is happy for you and expresses how she hopes it continues to go well but you should also understand Dabi needs time before he reaches the path where he betters himself for you. You understand due to how the date with Dabi went. Abella then heads over to her planter to pick you a flower. She returns to you holding out a purple hydrangeas for you.

"This is for you, they represent abundance, elegance and royalty. For your relationship with Dabi it means understanding. I believe after all I've told you, you understand this very well."

You tell her how you do understand and you appreciate the gift. She hugs you before you leave, telling you she hopes your path to love goes well. Purple hydrangeas signify the want for deeper understanding, which you and Dabi showcase very well. It's deeper meaning impacting you both for you two will certainly understand each other very well in the foreseeable future.

Side by Side

Summary: You wandered into Red Grave City to warn the “Legendary Devil Hunter” of a certain… negative shift in the area’s energy. It was an energy you knew to be demonic, and it grew stronger by the day. But on your way to meet with the intermediary, a noisy bird caught your attention. A noisy bird that would bring you to a frail man on the brink of falling apart.

Rated M • Female Reader • Before the Events of DMC V• Under the Cut • Part 1  •  Part 3

“People who come asking for demon extermination… most of them tend to either lie or exaggerate,” Dante began slowly, fiddling with his fingers. “I’m not that petty to get mad about it every single time. Lie if you want to, I’ll kill that demon regardless…” The devil hunter paused. “But you’ve got to pick better names for stories you come up with, you know?”

A deep shiver went down your spine causing you to flinch. This aura is overwhelming. From the moment you entered the building, you could smell that the man wasn’t purely human, but you never would’ve guessed this was how strong his demonic side was. From your peripheral, it appeared V was feeling the same chills as you.

“It’s fine if you doubt me,” V said after a moment. “It will become apparent once Redgrave is demonised.”

You released your tension through a sigh as Dante seemed to calm himself back down, though you couldn’t help but notice his expression of disbelief. This demon--Vergil--must have been one he’s encountered before.There was little point in speculating though, you did what you came to do and delivered the warning as did V.

Turning around, you noticed him staring at a picture of a woman on Dante’s desk. You quirked your brow as he grimaced and walked away from it with a “tch.” What a strange man.

“Thank you Dante,” you turned to the Devil Hunter once more and gave a short bow. His blue eyes only glanced at you before he nodded in response. “Let’s be off then,” you quietly said while taking V by the arm.

A brisk wind blew past as you exited the building. You shuddered and rubbed your arms to warm them up. V placed a hand on your shoulder. It was done a bit awkwardly, but there was a warmth and comfort to it that made your expression soften. “I’m staying here in Redgrave,” you declared.

“As am I,”  he reciprocated.

“We should stick together then, hm?” You laughed, “Or is that too forward of me?” The suggestion did seem to genuinely surprise the man.

“I don’t think I’m particularly great company.”

“I’m not sure that I know what good company is anyways,” you shrugged.

“You can obviously see that I’m the best fucking company,” and with that, Griffon was once again nestled in your hair. You reached up and used your fingers to ruffle his feathers a bit. Huh, they’re actually quite soft.

“Yes Griffon, I am aware that you are the epitome of camaraderie.” Even in the dark, you could see V roll his eyes.

“See, Shakespeare? This is the type of compliment you should be giving m--”

V shoved his cane in the bird’s mouth. “Not a chance.” He then said your name. The amount of people who ever knew your actual name could be counted on your fingers, so your heart lurched a bit at the sound. “Let’s stick together.”

“Mm,” you agreed. “It’s a shit place, but I did manage to scrounge up some extra cash and afford a motel the other day.” Griffon made a sound as close to a whistle as his strange beak  could make and promptly received a flick in the eye from you.

“What the fuck was that for!” He squawked.

“Oh you know goddamn know what that was for,” you pointed your finger in his face. A candid chuckle came from V, and it warmed your cheeks up. “Amazing, I didn’t realize you could be that cute,” you patted him on the back. Before he could respond, you began to walk towards the motel. “It’s this way,” you beckoned. And so he followed. Even Shadow decided to manifest, perhaps even shape-shifting, demon cats like to stretch their legs.

The trip wasn’t a long one and you were soon unlocking the door. Griffon and Shadow busted in before you could even step past the threshold.

“What a luxury!” the chatterbox exclaimed. You were thoroughly amused watching him fly in circles, even Shadow began to circle for a comfy spot on the bed.

“Welcome to my humble, temporary abode. Considering that this place probably isn’t… the most cared for, I understand if you want to keep the shoes on. I have a feeling you’re a little sensitive about mess considering the burger situation earlier today.”

“While I don’t relish being called sensitive, I suppose you’re not wrong,” V sighed. You also realized that the room was rather small, big enough to fit only the bed and a little bathroom with a cramped shower. There wasn’t even floor space.

“Aaand it looks like we’ll all be sharing the bed,” you looked away sheepishly. “But first, I’m going to shower. I reek like residual demon blood from holding you.”

“I’ll go after then,” he nodded. “I probably smell worse than you.”

“Yeah, you absolutely do,” you glanced over your shoulder. Judging by the eruption of laughter from Griffon, someone found your comment to be amusing. You began undressing as you made your way to the bathroom, eventually shutting the door behind you.

The hot water hitting your skin eased all the weird feelings inside of you. This was the longest amount of time you spent with someone in years. Not only was that a cause of unease, but V was also an eccentric character. There were moments where he was near impossible to read--not to mention his connection to the demonic entities and a deep understanding of this emerging problem.

You ended up sitting down as you worked on washing your hair, but you decided against showering too long since you had another person waiting to clean up. After toweling off, you changed into a t-shirt and shorts that you luckily brought. You knew once your head hit that pillow, you’d be out for the night. A lot had happened. “You’re free to shower V,” you let him know upon walking out of the bathroom. He observed you with a strange look on his face, which made you realize that you were holding the dagger from your boot in your hands. “Ah, I keep this on me for obvious reasons.”

“It’s quite intricate,” V noted as he began to get up, and he was right. It was ornate with a hilt of blue and gold. “I’ll try to not be too long.” You waved him off and jumped onto the lumpy mattress, being careful not to puncture the bed. It shocked you that both Shadow and a chatty bird like Griffon appeared to be sound asleep. That’s kinda adorable. You took your half of the bed, tucking yourself in and getting as comfy as you could in that room. Consciousness left you swiftly once your eyes closed.

You found yourself lying in a patch of dewy grass, groggy and with a pulsing headache. Turning your head, you saw vicious flames destroying a beautiful home. “What a shame,” you murmured as you slowly rose up from the ground and massaged your temples. You hugged your knees and watched the dance of orange and red with the sounds of crackling. Funny how fire was so utterly destructive, yet full of the warmth you reluctantly craved.

A scent assaulted your nostrils. It was a scent that could only mean demons. You whipped your head around to find the source. There were demons of bone, carrying scythes… and there was a boy with white hair getting surrounded by them. “Oh shit!” You began to sprint as fast as your body could take you and began to pull paper talismans from your pocket.

The scythe was coming down and even from a distance, you could see the boy’s face full of fear. “No fucking way,” you yelled and slapped down the seal. The demon’s body concaved and turned to dust. You took the little boy by the shoulders and searched for wounds. A bloodied cut on his forehead stained some of his silver hair. You wore bandages around your hands to hide some scarring, but what did it matter at that moment. Tearing it off, you quickly got into taking care of the bleeding. Luckily it was small and quick to heal up and away. He also didn’t appear to have any other physical injuries. You picked up his little, shivering body. “We have to go,” you urged and brushed his bangs back.

“I can’t go,” he sobbed out, though you could see he was straining to remain strong. “My mom and brother are going to come out. I have to wait for them.” You turned once more to the house. It was consumed by fire and black smoke. There was no way anyone was coming out of there.

“We need to get you to safety okay? I’ll go grab them after I ward the demons away from you, okay?” The boy’s blue eyes, stained with fear, bored into you until he finally nodded. “I’ll keep you here so you can see.” And with that, you grabbed your dagger and sliced open your palm. You gently placed it into the dirt and began to recite words from a language long forgotten. Rays of divine light began to surround the boy.

But it would not be finished. Your body collapsed before you could close the gap, and you could see demons lurking to exploit that whole. You attempted to reach forward and finish what you started. The boy called out for you, afraid of all that was going on around him. Your fingertips nearly touched until your limbs began to disintegrate into puffs of dark clouds.

“Live.”

Your eyes snapped open and your chest pounded. What an awful fuckin’ dream. You examined yourself, relieved to see that all your body was fully intact.

“What is it?” A jolt of adrenaline shot through you until you remembered you were not alone in the room.

“Oh... V. You scared me,” you mumbled sheepishly, “I forgot you were there.” You flopped back down onto the pillow. He offered a groggy apology that you waved away. “Not your fault, I’m just a little on edge from a dream.” You buried yourself deeper into the covers but couldn’t stop shivering, so you slowly inched closer to the inside of the bed.

V, who noticed the movements, looked at you strangely. “I’m really fucking cold,” you explained, slightly embarrassed. “Just trying to mooch a little more of your body heat without throwing myself onto you.”

“I know a sure way for you two to get warmer real quick,” Griffon mockingly crowed from on top of the bed frame. You swiftly reached your hand up and plucked out one of his feathers. “Shit! I’m just saying!” He pecked your hand away so you couldn’t grab another feather.

“Just be quiet already,” V grumbled. There was a pause in the room. “I don’t care if you get closer,” he eventually offered in the darkness of the room. It was an offer you took immediately and soon enough, the two of you were packed side to side under the blanket. Both of you were stiff from the unfamiliar contact, but if you were honest with yourself, it was nice. Sharing the warmth with another person was something you always yearned for as a child. Perhaps Griffon understood the sentiment because he quickly plopped himself between your heads.

Lucky for you, you were still exhausted, so the awkwardness of the situation didn’t prevent you from passing out yet again.

There were no more dreams that night. You woke to dried drool on your chin, messy hair, and V sitting up and reading his book.

“Rise and shine princess!” Griffon chirped.

“Ugh, please don’t give me a headache upon waking up,” you groaned, earning a cackle from the demon. After stretching in bed for a bit, you finally stood up.  “I can already sense that I look disgusting, I’m gonna clean up.”

It didn’t take long for you to do the basics of brushing hair, washing your face off, and brushing your teeth. What did take time was re-bandaging select areas of your body--a hand, a calf, your abdomen--lest you get even stranger looks from people. It was impossible for V to have not seen though while you undressed the night before and while you slept. In fact, you took note that he was actually considering the bandages and clothes you were wearing, as if he noticed something.

“Do you have something to ask me about?” He considered your question for an irritatingly long time. “Just come out with it,” you rolled your eyes. “I don’t care.”

“You have a lot of scarring and markings all along your body,” V commented.

“Indeed I do.”

“I don’t understand why you hide it,” he shrugged.

“I’d prefer not to attract the stares of others with scars and tattoos that mark a treacherous past.”

“Scars indicate power and strength.”

You couldn’t contain your burst of laughter. “If only others thought like you! With the amount of shit I got going on, no one would try to fuck with me!” V let a smirk out as well. “But hey, how is your body feeling today?”

“Weak, but that’s normal,” he clearly spited that fact.

Making your way closer, you put a hand on his chest. “Your energy is a lot more stable than it was when I found you. But it could use some support. Can I help?”

“I’ve always loathed the help of others. I hate this sense of powerlessness, but I don’t wish to die,” V stated. You took that as the go-ahead. With a deep breath, you once more began to pour pieces of yourself into the man. The stone within the ring you treasured shifted from blue to white, as it was so intricately intertwined with your life.

You could feel V shift underneath you. “I’m sorry, this must be uncomfortable for you.”

“It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt, and I will do what it takes to survive. I will endure whatever till that demon is gone.” You hummed in understanding.

“Your body should be good for now,” you pulled away.

“Thank you,” V said softly while retying his shirt.

“Hey, thanks from the whole gang! If Shakespeare dies, we die too!” By the grimace on V’s face, you presumed that Griffon revealed a bit more than he would’ve liked.

“Well, along with the rules of the quid pro quo I laid out, I suppose I should say something that my life is linked to, yeah?” Those dark green eyes looked at you inquisitively. “If this ring here shatters,” you put your hand out to him so he could see, “I’m donezo.” The sentence came out rather matter-of-factly and without feeling despite it being about your demise. “Aaand if you wish to know more about that, you gotta let me know something,” you winked.

“I’ll let you know when I think of something,” V replied competitively.

“You two or oh so interesting and all, but what hijinks are we up to today?” Griffon butted in.

“What does the little chicken wish to do today?”

He narrowed his eyes at you but ignored the jab. “Those cheesy circle things,” he declared.

“Pizza?” You tilted your head.

“Yeah, that! Pizza!”

You turned out your pockets to see how much money was left. It was a couple dollars and some rogue coins. “It appears that we’ll have to go ‘earn’ some money again.”

“You mean fucking some more people up?” The little bird seemed quite excited at the prospect.

“There’s that, but there’s probably some less damaging routes we can go.”

“Boo.” Griffon said before dissipating.

“We’ll need to find a shitty bar first,” you told V and began tying your boots back on.

“Why a bar?” He didn’t seem to relish the idea.

“I know they’re full of scumbags, but those scumbags are also dumbasses who don’t know how to keep their money safe. Trust me,” you added.

“So you’re proposing that we steal,” V replied skeptically.

“Oh I’m sorry, is that too lowly for you?” The man’s expression tightened at the taunt.

“Whatever,” he waved away whatever argument was about to begin. “Lead us and do what you will.”

The two of you walked out of the room back into the sun. The search for a trashy hangout was afoot. Small talk ensued between you and V, but nothing all that engaging. It ended up falling into a silence--not that you minded. The walk wasn’t too long anyways, cesspool bars were always aplenty in the back alleys of cities.

“That one.” You pointed to an “establishment” called The Cat Trap. It featured the name in neon pink lights and the sexy silhouette of a woman. The face V made was if you just shoved a sour lemon in his mouth. “There will be plenty of disgusting, drunk men to take from. My only hope is that there’s enough money to justify entering such a filthy place.”

A deep, dramatic sigh came from him, “Let’s just get this over with so we can eat.”

“Give me your arm. It’ll look better if we appear to be together.”

“Are we not together,” he questioned.

“Shut up,” you punched him in the shoulder. “You know I meant together together.”

V gave you his arm with a sigh, which you promptly looped in your own. “You fade into the background and take money however you can,” you instructed. “Maybe even use bits of Shadow to help out.”

He looked to you then began to lead the way in. Lo and behold, it was a dimly lit, dirty looking bar. It was a little surprising how many people were there despite it being daytime. How lucky.

Almost immediately, a man who reeked of alcohol stumbled towards you. “Hello, there sweety. Looking for a good time?” He gave you a wink with his already half-lidded eyes.

“I’m sorry,” you gave a half-assed apology, “I’m not here alone.”

“I don’t see anyone with you,” it was gross watching him look you up and down.

“V, come over!” He drew towards you with a confused expression. “As you can see, I’m with my boyfriend.” A total lie, I’ve never had a boyfriend.

“Boyfriend? That scrawny guy?” he slurred rather loudly and tried to size him up. “How about you come with me instead, sexy? I can show you a much better time.” The patron groped your ass. You gave him the sweetest smile you could before decking him square in the nose. It made an audible crunch and you looked in disgust at his blood on the bandages around your hand.

“How vile,” you scowled and unwrapped yourself, dropping the dirty cloth on the man. “You should feel truly blessed that I didn’t break your hand off.” You juxtaposed the deadpan tone with a pleasantness. “Let us be off, darling,” you said while turning on your heel and taking his hand.

“Hah!” Griffon burst out into laughter once the coast was clear for him to re-emerge. “Who knew you were such a hardass. You should teach Shakespeare a lesson or two!”

“I would rather not kill him.” V made no effort to hide his glare. “I jest, I jest!” You threw your hands up in submission. “How much money did you get though?”

He shuffled through an array of bills. “Enough.”

“Let’s go get this tweety bird his pizza then.” Pleased by your response, Griffon decided to perch on your shoulder. All of you agreed upon getting takeout instead of sitting in an establishment, and you were grateful that it was take-and-go at the shop you found.

The group of you found a deserted alley and rested against the brick wall. “The two of you probably want to eat first, huh?” With a sigh, you opened the box and fed Griffon with one hand and Shadow with the other. It was… cute--other than the demon cat’s slobber getting all over your hands.

“You’re far too nice to them,” V seemed to chastise you.

With a shrug, you responded, “I’ve always loved animals. They aren’t nearly as shitty as people, even demonic pets like these little guys.” Were it not for the bite of pizza in his mouth, Griffon surely would have complained that he was called ‘little.’ “Alright, it’s my turn to eat.” You made sure to thoroughly wipe your hands before digging into what was left. “Oh yeah, sorry for calling you my boyfriend,” you said between bites.

“Can’t say I particularly cared. Unfortunately it didn’t keep him away.”

“Mhm,” you hummed through a mouthful of food.

The day ended unceremoniously, nothing of consequence happened and the night went much like the night before. Only a couple days passed until the Qliphoth began to take root in Redgrave, and May 16th finally came. It was time to regroup with Dante.

Fortune Teller Match Maker 🔮 Anime Matchups 💘

Hey and yes you sent in your matchup info correctly 💓 thanks for wishing me a happy birthday and I hope you like who I paired you up with. Also your patience is much appreciated.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters

You tell Abella your first request. She wasn’t expecting your choice since she’s been doing tarot card readings or palm readings all day.

“You wish for a tea reading? This won’t be what you expect but I assure you it’s a ton of fun!” Abella walks over to her round table gesturing you to follow her.

Before your eyes the fortune teller waves her hand over the table. In a puff of pink smoke the items gathered at her table disappear, leaving behind a girly heart printed white teapot. The teacup wasn’t what you expected at all. It’s pink but has peculiar designs on it. Specifically on the inside of it.

Abella asks you what if you have a preference for the flavor of the tea. When you answer she blushes due to the meaning behind roses. She thinks it’s very cute and romantic, she looks forward to this tea reading very much. She waves her jewelry covered hand again and another pink puff of smoke appears, this time it is smaller. When it clears up you notice it’s a full leaf loose rose petal tea container.

“Using rose petal tea will be so exciting! While I’m preparing your tea I have a question for you to think about.”

You remember what roses symbolize with a smile of your own and then concentrate on Abella. You start thinking of possibilities for your question while you’re seated on the stack of square shaped pillows at her table. The hearts on her face light up a pink neon.

“I'd like for you to think of a question. One about romance. It must be clear and concise. A romantic answer is what you seek. I can tell."

You think about your question carefully. While you're doing so Abella places the rose petal tea leaves inside the tea pot. Soon you're served your tea cup in front of you. Abella instructs you to contemplate your question while sipping your tea. The tea must be the perfect temperature while you do so. Abella made sure all goes accordingly. The hearts on her face are glowing while her eyes are closed. You finally decide on a question. She is reflecting on her intentions and begins transferring her energy into the tea leaves.

"I would like to know about my current path towards true love." Is the question you're currently thinking to yourself.

You leave a tablespoon of liquid in the cup while thinking of your question. Abella gently picks up the teacup and saucer. She uses her left hand to swirl the tea left to right three times. Slowly the fortune teller carefully inverts the cup over the pink saucer. She closes her eyes for one minute, you notice the hearts on her face are glowing so it was intentional. Once she opens her eyes she rotates the cup three times again. She turns the cup upright, positioning the handle south. 

She obverses remains of the tea leaves inside the cup. The aroma was very pleasant. She reveals an image of a cat appearing scattered around the teacup. Abella looks to be happy for you.

"This is wonderful. It means you will be lucky no matter what you choose. This image of the cat is associated with luck. Whatever it is you were questioning to yourself I can say you'll have tremendous luck in it."

You're happy to see both an image of a cat and the tea reading given to you. Abella reminds you to be careful despite your luck but she does see many good outcomes for you in the present. Upon your next request you ask her for a love fortune.

"A Love fortune? I’ll gladly detail what type of romance you’ll get with your true love. I also tell you a bit of your future with them too.” She waves her jewel covered hand, causing a puff of pink smoke to appear.

You sneeze from the cloud, but once you open your eyes the teapot and teacup are gone. The center of the round purple table is a hot pink crystal ball. Her hands rub over the crystal ball and she closes her eyes. You're being surrounded by a huge pink rose on the ground. The crystal ball starts glowing pink.

"For this fortune I'll need your hand but if you like I'll simply place my hand on top of your own."

Understanding her instructions you grab her hand. She goes back to close her eyes but now the hearts under her eyes appear to be glowing again. You feel a light pull on your body but Abella's hand is reassuring. For some reason you feel a bit frightened, almost as if you were to let go something bad would happen.

"I see... your true love. He fits all the qualities you see in a man. He is loyal, kind, creative, fun, and brave. Most of all his bravery and kindness shines in his person."

On the crystal ball an image is slowly appearing. An image of a young man with spikey purple hair. His eyes are soft matching in color with his hair. His smile reflects a kind soul.

"Your true loves name is Yugi Muto."

You observe the gentle soul, noting how he is creating a game from the looks of it. You're happy he suits all the attractive qualities in his person you look for in a romantic interest.

"Your romance with him would be very sweet, he would treat you like a princess and would be extremely gentle with you. It would be a loving relationship from now to the future. I see clear romance with a future to someone such as him."

You take in all her words with understandable joy. Now done with your fortune she removes her hand from the hot pink crystal ball that is no longer glowing. You notice the rose symbol that was on the floor is gone.

"Now that we know who your true love is, how else may I help you?"

You ask for a perfume. She looks over to the shelf behind her full of perfumes. You ask about the one titled, 'bouquet of roses'. She grabs a hold of the perfume you asked for. It’s a small clear heart shaped bottle with several red roses painted on it, the lid if round looking as though it’s a jewel.

“This perfume will lead to a passionate moment if you two are truly feeling love.”

“How much do I use?”

“All it requires is two sprays. Anything more will have no affect but I will warn you the perfume is a strong smell so save your nose from over doing it.” She giggles thinking back to her naïve teenage customers using the whole bottle.

Nodding with understanding you spray yourself a couple times. The perfume is very luxurious it’s scent wafts into your nose making you think of a rose garden. Rose petals, a hint of vanilla, and a hint of milk chocolate is what you smell. The scent is so welcoming it makes you feel more confident and passionate for love. Abella stands beside her table and gestures you to stand as well.

You notice she’s closing her eyes and the pink rose symbol on the ground appears again. At the center a white portal for you appears. The hearts on her face are glowing the same color as the symbol on the ground. She’s smiling fondly, knowing what a wonderful evening you’ll have.

“This portal leads to your true love. Now that you know who he is and I’ve given you quite the assistance you’re sure to catch his attention. If it doesn’t work out don’t be disheartened. Love has a crazy way of finding you and there’s plenty of other opportunities for romance if you don’t happen to find it tonight.”

You tell her you appreciate her words before entering the portal. When you open your eyes you’re in downtown of Domino city. It’s starting to sunset but you notice there’s a lot of people out. There’s plenty of people dueling. Must be some sort of event. After wandering around you realize the event is for a charity. The duelist with the most points gains $100 per one-thousand points earned. The money earned goes straight to charity for homeless children. Points are earned from wins of duels.

While you’re wandering you notice the king of games isn’t far from you. He had won a duel but unfortunately he’s surrounded by three unwanted young men. They want to take his duel disk from him since it has the points listed in the duel disk itself. They want to have the glory and reputation that comes from being number one ranked duelist for the charity.

You can’t stand for this to happen, not when Yugi raised so much money for the work he did. Plus duel disks and decks are expensive he shouldn’t be robbed for doing such a selfless deed. He’s still surrounded and his collar is roughly tugged harshly as he’s lifted off the ground. You hope the luck Abella told you about is accurate. You’re about to put it to use. You put on your best act and scream as loud as you can. You point at the men.

“Help!! There’s a group of men with weapons! One of them have a gun!”

Your yells caught the attention of many passerby’s coming to your aid. The three young men immediately run away. Yugi is giving you a very thankful look. He didn’t think anyone would help him. You walk up to him and help him off the ground. He’s so thin and light you accidentally use too much strength and pull him a bit too close to you.

“Sorry.” You say as you step back.

Yugi is blushing especially because he could smell your perfume. It was nice and he’s never been so close to a pretty girl before.

“No need to apologize. It was an accident. Thank you for saving me back there. I don’t know what I would’ve done.”

“Your welcome.”

Yugi introduces himself to you, expressing more of his gratitude. You also introduce yourself and ask about the charity event. He begins to explain how he put together the event with the creator of duel monsters himself. Yugi wanted more awareness to starving children and how he wanted to help others in need. Mr. Pegasus agreed to the idea and helped arrange it.

You two eventually find yourselves talking for hours. Yugi showing you his deck, summoning your favorite duel monster for you. He even bought you a treat. While you’re both eating he’s shyly asking if you’d like to go on a date with him. He’s been dueling all day and already raised more than $500,000. You choked on your food realizing why those men wanted to rob him so bad. You agreed to it since you’re having such a good time.

Yugi enjoyed discussing games with you, a few of the projects he’s made with his own games, hobbies, and other fun topics. He feels so relaxed around you. He feels himself blush every time he smells roses from you. It made him think how you must be as beautiful as a fairy.

During the date he takes you to a park awkwardly holding your hand, it was very sweet. He’s so bashful and shy. It was so cute how he talked to you throughout the date. While you're watching the sunset you notice Yugi is smiling fondly at you. He then looks to your conjoined hands thinking about how lucky he is. You think back to many of Yugi's stories how he saved his friend Joey and how his best friend has saved his life as well. Yugi surely does show all the qualities you're looking for. You thought it was so brave of Yugi to be courageous enough to risk his own life for his friend.

You gently squeeze Yugi's hand while you're deep in thought. Yugi decides to find his unwavering courage again and express how much he enjoyed your presence and the date. He tells you how beautiful he thinks you are and how he thinks your heart is equally as beautiful.

"I think tonight has been the best day of my life. Meeting you that is." Yugi adds after all the lovely compliments he's made about you.

You look over to Yugi with a huge smile across your features. Yugi thinks you look so beautiful. You two start leaning in for a kiss before you know it. You two kiss ever so passionately. You're very fond of him since he's so very kind and selfless. He's proven how worthy he is as a date and more. Yugi thinks of you in high regard as well. The kiss became very romantic.

Afterwards Yugi must part with you but he promises you another date. You two quickly make plans for your next date before parting ways. When you hugged Yugi you accidentally hit his duel disk and his points went up by five times the amount. Luck is certainly on your side because in the future Yugi will be rewarded by Pegasus to an exclusive restaurant with anyone he'd like to join and he'll ask you to join. You decide to visit Abella to thank her. Her tent shouldn't be far away. It's dark out and dinner rush. She might not be busy.

Upon entering her tent you're greeted by her. She is holding a watering can, she's pleased to see you. You greet her and begin telling her about your interaction with Yugi. How well the date went and how you're thankful for her help.

"It's wonderful how well your afternoon went with Yugi. He sounds like a nice date I know in the future you both will continue to enjoy your dates together."

As you're talking to the fortune teller she walks toward a planter. She tells you how happy she is it worked out with Yugi. She picks a flower and offers it to you.

"This is for you my friend. This flower means wonder and enchantment, and love. I hope you have a good night. May you and your true love find happiness despite the trials that come along with relationships."

"Thank you so much." You tell her as she hugs you.

You wave goodbye before leaving her tent. You look forward to your next date with Yugi. You're smelling the rose while you're thinking about him. It reminds you of his lovely eyes and hair. Abella is smiling knowing the future you'll have with Yugi will be wonderful. The lavender rose representing so much since its hue is associated with love at first sight. For you and Yugi the rose represents the special love that caught both of your attention.
