unedited not proofred yakumo x edmond filth written on my phone

warning : heavy mentions of oviposition/breeding kink, roughness, feminization(?) of edmond, yakumo uses his snakes during sex, and also yakumo is pent up and edmond pushes his buttons, they're in love, background morvay x eiden

______________________________________

yakumo isn't sure how much longer he can last with things being the way that they were.

it's nothing to do with anything sir edmond has done; quite the opposite, yakumo greatly appreciates the company of someone less... abrasive and loud and touchy, while he cooks dinner for everyone in the mansion, but...

well that's just it--he doesn't know. eiden has tried to tell him more times than he can count that his crush on the vice captain-and, to a lesser degree, his lust over him-wasn't exactly a secret. the vice captain himself was probably the only one unaware, which... could explain why edmond felt comfortable enough to be bending over like that as he helped wipe up some flour yakumo had gotten in the ground.

stop staring, stop staring, stop staring--no matter how many times he says it ti himself, he keeps looking back over. it's not his fault sir edmond has... hips, like that, that he could stuff so full of eggs and cum and--

"wh-uwah-!!" just in time for the stew in front of him not to boil over, he was rushing to reach out and lower the heat, breathing out all shaky and relieved. really, he can't take much more of this. his only hope at this point was that edmond wouldn't notice how rock hard he was as he stood in front of the stove.

"...? yakumo? you seem tense. ... were the others picking on you again?" ... edmond's always been so kind, soft, with him-and yakumo can't ever understand why, but it only makes his heart swell and his cock throb harder.

"n-no!! no, no, it's-i-it's nothing, sir edmond, i'm just, ahh, oh-um-i'm a little tired today!"

whether he accepts the answer or not-edmond doesn't press further, just watches yakumo's actions, wary that he might hurt himself-but he's never been the type to outright show his worry for someone, so yakumo would be none the wiser either way.

and another comfortable silence falls over them as yakumo works. well... comfortable on edmond's end, probably not so much yakumo's. every time he moves he remembers how tight is pants are and every few seconds he can't help but look over at edmond and--

"that looks painful, yakumo. shall i... go alert that fraud in the dining room that you have an, issue that needs tending to?"

yakumo's immediate reaction is a shameful one, he grimaces and shames his head over and over and gets legitimately teary eyed, "oh-ah, that's-sir edmond i'm so sorry-i just, you were-and i shouldn't have stared at you like that, i-i'm such a, gross pervert, i'm sorry--"

"... i, i had thought you might be thinking of, h-him, not, myself,"

yakumo wants to flee the kitchen and never leave his room again. of course sir edmond didn't know-and now of course yakumo had messed that up too.

and he starts to-he shuts the stove off completely and turns to scurry off with his head down like a baby, but he's not expecting the the gloved hand suddenly wrapping around his wrist.

"... yakumo-"

"s-sir edmond i'm so very sorry, th-this is so, i'm so gross, i-i'm a pervert, i know, i, ah, perhaps you could, get mr. eiden to come finish cooking, i-"

"yakumo-"

"i-i didn't mean to be disrespectful, i-i didn't even mean to stare when you were bending over!! i-i shouldn't have, i should have looked away, i should-"

"your snakes, yakumo."

yakumo yelped as the sound of hissing finally hit his ears, finally registering the dark mist swirling all around him, the snakes slithering out in midair over his shoulders and around his waist, orange eyes glowing and sinister as ever. goodness, he can't stand himself-even with mr. eiden's help in regulating his essence, he still couldn't ever control himself for more than ten minutes.

... but, before he can even try to start forcing himself to calm down all on his own, the gloved hand wrapped around his wrist trails up to his face, and then edmond brings his other hand up to hd the other side, and... yakumo can't handle it, the gentle way edmond always looks at him-him and eiden both were so very kind to him, and for what, when he was such a disaster, he never understood.

"you are not gross. nor are you a pervert. please refrain from saying such things about yourself in the future."

"..." yakumo has to reluctantly turn his head away from edmond's hands so as to not sully his gloves with tears, "... i-i'm, i'm sorry sir edmond,"

"it's not," edmond's face started to get all flushed, "... it's not, th-the, worst... thing, yakumo. you're much nicer about these things than that charlatan getting his dick sucked in the dining room."

yakumo wants to pout about edmond bullying mr. eiden--but he listened silently for several seconds and... unmistakably, he could hear his and mr. morvay's ah... voices. noises, rather-faintly, but, he can. "... o-oh,"

... it feels pathetic, but that was all he could get out. now that he's settled down a little, he just feels... awkward. he's still painfully hard as he stand there after all, and he doesn't want fo trouble sir edmond with this when he knows his work as vice captain must have already been stressful enough, and...

and, edmond's lips feel so soft and--

yakumo startles at the realization that in some ditch effort to pull him out of his thoughts, edmond had kissed him. the vice captain's lips are so... gentle, and he tastes like vanilla, and yakumo feels like he's on fire the longer the kiss goes on, the longer he returns it. he needs... well, he actually doesn't know. does he just want to kiss him? does he actually want to bend him back over and pump him full of eggs and cum until he needs to be carried around the mansion?

it's quite the dilemma. yakumo would be happy to carry him around and have someone so strong and cool and collected depend on him like that, on one hand--

"y-you don't need to think so much, yakumo," ... edmond's so horribly embarrassed, but even someone as anxious as yakumo can see that he's eager, too, "... you're an animal, are you not? i'm not made of glass. we both know the, w-way you look at me, so... just... d-do, do whatever you..."

he can't get the rest of it out, but-yakumo can take the hint, for once in his life.

... sort of.

as much as he nods at what edmond said, and insinuated, he... couldn't move. neither of them seemed able to until they just did.

there's a flash of hands undoing zippers and fiddling with buttons and pushing apart robes--one minute they're clothed and the next they simply aren't, skin warm to the touch as yakumo unwittingly backs edmond up into the counter.

and yakumo's so sweet, so considerate, even as his mind grows ever hazy, gentle as he rushes down to seal their lips together and tangle his forked tongue with edmond's normal one, busying one of his hands with reaching down between their bodies and trying to seek out edmond's hole, which--

... feels, stretched, already.

"... that, the, the fraud came and, bothered me at work," edmond mumbles, a grumble against yakumo's lips, "so, you... needn't, um, bother with your fingers, yakumo. i'm sure you don't want to. please, don't restrain yourself right now, i-i don't, i want you to, release yourself. unless i should really go and join those two at the table to, fulfill my--"

edmond cuts himself off with a squeak as one of his legs is hiked up nearly to his chest, scrambling to find balance against the counter behind him in time for yakumo deliciously long cock to start greedily, frantically pushing its way inside of him.

"i already-have to share mr. eiden with everyone else in the house, i won't share mr. edmond too-" yakumo can't tell if he's speaking to himself or to edmond as he starts fucking into him with completely reckless and wanton abandon, hardly even caring to quiet himself when he knows mr. eiden is just in the other room getting his own cock serviced anyway.

and it's not like edmond can help himself either-try as he might to bite onto his finger in some feeble attempt at holding back, a snake comes over yakumo's shoulder and darts forward to coil around his wrist and pull it away from his mouth. with yakumo grabbing his other free hand just to hold it, edmond is left powerless and only able to scream as yakumo, the sweet man that he usually is, the man that would cry if he bumped into someone, absolutely bullies his cock up into his ass and his guts, over and over and over and over.

"mr-mr. edmond is-not-allowed-to-be with-anyone--else-"

it's as if the more riled up yakumo gets himself, the more snakes appear out of the shadowy essence resonating from his back-and all of them are striking at edmond's bare skin, littering him with amazingly painful bites and marks that edmond just knows will last forever, the only way it'd get any better was if his uniform wouldn't inevitably cover them all.

... that thought was an embarrassing one-he was vice captain of the knights, he shouldn't want to show that off, but alas.

"not-even-the fraud?" edmond finds it in himself to quip that much back at him, and he's thusly rewarded by an especially sharp thrust of yakumo's hips and even sharper slap against his thigh.

"stop--thinking about anyone else besides me!! i'm the one fucking you, edmond!!"

it's shocking to hear yakumo... not addressing him with the utmost politeness and respect that he usually does. not to mention he's never snapped at anyone like that, let alone... him.

it makes edmond's cock throb like you wouldn't believe.

delirious with need as he is, edmond decides he'll push yakumo's buttons even further, "you're the one-nhh, god-fucking me? and-and exactly what else are you going to do? is that really it? that's a bit pathetic, don't you--"

... yakumo pulls out, and for the brief second that he stands there, empty, hole closing around nothing, edmond thinks he might cry.

but then he's being positively manhandled, dragged and yanked away from the counter to instead be pushed up onto the kitchen island instead. it's horribly cold against his heated skin, but yakumo is clearly in no mood to seek out a bed for them, as he clambers his way to get back up on top of them. the island is made from stone, granite-not that they were worried anyway, but it was in no danger of budging under their combined weight anyway.

and then edmond finds himself being folded. his knees touch his chest and yakumo's cock shoves its way back inside of him and now, at this angle, in this position, he's all but forced to watch as it creates a bulge in his stomach, clear as day as yakumo makes short work of continuing to rearrange his insides.

"i'm-going to make you-carry around my eggs--" yakumo's feral and hissing at him at this point, drooling down onto his chest, "you'll be so, so full that you'll need me to carry you around, and then, then--then even mr. eiden will never get to you-only me-me--"

there's knocking at the kitchen door. neither of them are in any state to care.

"... just clean up when you're done, jeez..."

eiden's voice is the last thing yakumo even wants to think about, let alone hear. he does wait, though, for his footsteps to retreat away from the kitchen before something akin to a snarl is tearing its way out of his throat.

"can't-let him-see you like this-you're, you, i-you-"

"spit it out already," edmond manages, somehow, "say it, please, say it-"

"you're mine."

the first time yakumo says it, he's hesitant about it. as much as he's implied it, actually speaking it seems like he's crossing some kind of boundary.

but underneath him, edmond keens, head thrown back, and he nods, over and over and over like it's all he's ever wanted to hear his whole life, and that does it.

"you're mine, you're mine, you're mine," yakumo chants it, once more, twice, three more times, "edmond-sir edmond is-all mine-not even mr. eiden can have him anymore, i won't, i won't allow it, i won't allow it, i need sir edmond all to, m-myself, n-no one else could carry my eggs like he could, no one, no one,"

now he's just rambling, but he's not even aware of it, nor does he care to be. he lets everything there is out of his system, words laced with absolute filth dripping from his forked tongue about how deeply he desires for edmond to be his, his wife, his mate, his whore, his... everything, anything, just as long as he's his.

it's to the point where yakumo can't even hear anymore, only feel, and ever greedy, he wants to feel more and more and more, nails scraping the surface of the nice granite counter beneath them as he watches edmond writhe and twist and scream underneath him, watches him paint his own chest and stomach with cum. everything else was already too much, too intoxicating, and now yakumo's nose is filling with the smell of him and his essence?

the onslaught of it all jumbling together and assaulting the senses yakumo still has about him makes him let out a raspy, pitched scream of his own as he forces himself as deep into edmond's ass as he can get, eyes fixated on the bulge in his stomach as he shudders and twitches and... cums. heavens, does he ever cum-the already present bulge in edmond's stomach only grows and swells more.

though... it's in the proceeding moments, as they stay like that, that either of them start to regain any consciousness.

"... ahhh..."

yakumo takes a moment to assess the... damage, so to speak. edmond's covered in teeth marks, all over his neck and chest, his wrist bruised from the unrelenting grip of the snake that'd been wrapped around it before.

but edmond looks so contented, sated, almost happy, even, blissful.

"is... is what, j-just happened, a-alright, sir edmond...?" yakumo gulps, "i-i'm terribly sorry if i've offended or hurt you in any way--"

... this time, when edmond shuts him up with a kiss, yakumo actually obeys.

"Hello hello! I would like to request Louis Amamiya and Default!Male Protagonist (seperate) Mocha biscuits please! <Relationship headcanons please with a human s/o who dearly loves them and had even asked them to drink their blood from their neck at one point if they need it? Many thanks~"

Hi-hi~! Sorry, we don't write for Default!Male Protagonist, as we lack the information to really feel comfortable writing for him. As for writing for Louis, thank you so much for requesting for our best boi!!! He deserves all the love and headpats in the world.

Your mocha and biscuits for Louis Amamiya from Code Vein are served!

Louis Relationship Headcanons

First off, he's going to feel like he doesn't deserve someone as wonderful as you in his life.

But you won't let him get away with saying that and always remind him of all the reasons why you don't care about the notion of whether he "deserves" you or not and love him anyway.

Each time you do, he'll get a tiny bit flustered and shy, and he'll get a warm feeling in his heart.

But at the same time, a pang of worry and guilt will continue to rest in his mind.

Given time, however, he can feel those feelings fade, just a bit.

Louis won't see you as below him, despite you being a human.

Still, he will worry for you, as humans don't have the physical capabilities that a revenant holds.

You'll be able to notice it in his hesitance to bring you along on missions, and when you do, he'll keep a closer eye on you.

If you do prove to be a great fighter or thinker anyway, he'll be a little less cautious.

Still, it won't be able to leave Louis' mind that if something happens and you get severely injured or die, you won't be able to come back.

And if you aren't a fighter, he'll be extremely hesitant to bring you into any potentially dangerous situation.

Louis will also not want to act too overprotective or make you feel like he's controlling you.

So unless you try or want to do something that could end up being really dangerous, he'll only strongly advise caution.

He's afraid of losing you, he's afraid of losing his memories of you.

But each time, you always remind him that you'll stay with him as long as you can and that if he does forget, you'll still be there for him.

When you're back at the base, he'll often be working on something, but will always try to take some time to spend with you.

Sometimes, these moments are just talking about whatever comes to mind.

These conversations can be anything from small bits of chatter to excited rambling over a book.

And the way his eyes light up when he starts talking about a favorite book is literally the most precious thing in the universe and must be protected.

Normally, he's quite calm and speaks in that manner.

But when he's excited over something you can hear it in his voice, he'll speak just a tiny bit faster, Louis will have this adorable smile.

AHHH I THINK I JUST TURNED MYSELF INTO A SIMP.

But oftentimes, they'll be rather quiet.

He'll hold or close, sometimes just thinking or even reading a beloved book.

Either way, Louis will cherish any time he gets to spend with you.

When he's around you, everyone nearby can sense the companionship between you both.

He'll always be just a bit softer and gentler with you.

Of course, everyone is going to bring it up, just to tease him. And boy does he get flustered easily...

At first, when Yakumo mentions how he looks happy when you're around, he'll try to brush it off.

But Yakumo can and will leave him a blushing mess.

And if you're nearby and are easy to tease, he'll leave you both incredibly embarrassed.

It really doesn't matter if you're in a relationship or not, Louis will get flustered if people bring up both your... romantic intentions.

Still, he's just adorable when he's flustered, so you don't particularly mind.

If you ever ask him to drink your blood, he'll refuse.

Louis doesn't want to hurt you, moreover, the taste itself is different, addictive.

He doesn't want to risk it if he doesn't have to.

Either way, he really does appreciate the sentiment, and will always let you know how much he does.

If there is a time where he risks joining the lost without your blood or if you tell him you would really like him to, he'll hesitantly drink from you.

But only if you are completely okay with it.

He'll pull you in close to him, more carefully than usual.

The moment that he senses any nervousness, pain, or anything like that, he'll pull away.

He'll be rambling out apologies as he puts an awkward distance between the two of you.

If you don't calm him down, he'll speed walk off as fast as he can without outright running and will probably avoid you for the next few hours.

And of course, Yakumo is going to be groaning in the background.

If you happen to be in a dangerous location, he'll stay close to you, but you can practically hear the gears turning frantically in his head.

If it goes off without a hitch, he'll pay close attention to not drain too much blood from you.

The entire time, you'll be able to feel how tense he is against you, as he's afraid of losing control.

A.K.A. he's afraid of losing you or scaring you away.

Once he's finished, as long as you're in a safe environment, he'll likely want to stay in the same position.

He'll be rather quiet, mulling over what just happened.

Once he's snapped out of it, he'll go to find bandages as well as supplies to make sure it doesn't get infected.

He'll ask to take care of the wound himself, as he was the one who inflicted it.

As Louis does so, he'll thank you for doing that for him.

The first time, afterward, he'll be a little more cautious around you and will be mentally checking in on your wellbeing, making sure there were no aftereffects.

And he won't ever ask you to do so again, but secretly, he really enjoyed the feeling of being so close and doing something so intimate with you.

When it comes to affection, you can really see it in the way he looks out for you.

If he sees something that reminds him of you or knows you'd be interested in, he'd be sure to tell you about it or give it to you.

Each time, you'd find him searching your reactions, looking to see what sorts of things interested you more than others.

Half the time, he wouldn't really do this consciously, even after you start dating.

But either way, he'd be doing it anyway.

And another thing he'll do after you're in a relationship is to generally be touching you in some way.

It makes him feel close to you and reminds him that you're there.

Often, he'll sit closer to you, or even let you use him as a pillow.

Did I mention he's the absolute best pillow one could ask for?

He might be reading something aloud to you, talking, or just thinking and you end up falling asleep on him.

It'll take him a moment to notice, as he's probably wrapped up in what he's doing.

But when he does, his heart is going to melt.

How?!?! How are you so adorable?!?!?

The entire time, he'll be careful not to move, and would definitely sneak a few glances at your sleeping face.

He literally can't help himself.

Louis will also gently stroke your hair.

No matter what it's like, he loves it, and it really calming for him. If he needs to wake you up, it'll be gentle.

He'll probably lightly shake your shoulder and softly call your name a few times.

If you're a deep sleeper, then he'll progressively get more forceful until you're awake.

And if he falls asleep on you, it's probably because he's managed to overwork himself again, and needs the sleep.

As much as he mothers over everyone else, he'll often find himself neglecting his own needs.

So he'll need you to remind him to actually take care of himself.

If you do, then he'll be eternally grateful.

Still, if he does fall asleep on you, he'll actually be pretty quiet.

He might snore ever so slightly and it's actually pretty cute when he does.

Louis also likely gets nightmares.

When he's in a nightmare, he'll thrash around or cry out names in his sleep.

And at worst, he'll cry.

At this point, it is best to wake him up.

Once he's awake, he would thank you and would likely delve back into dark thoughts.

He'll probably either want some space or would be extra clingy.

It really depends on the dream, so it can go either way.

Overall, he's best boi and best bf, 20/10 would recommend.

Literally, who gave him the right to be so precious?!

Comfort and Harmony (Kurama x Reader)

Word count: 4.365 Pairing: Kurama x Female!Reader Genre: Comfort Fluff, family, romance, mild sexual themes (teasing) Rating: Teen (lots of sexal teasing) Summary: This oneshot is related to the „Poltergeist Movie“. If you haven't seen the movie, you may not understand why Kurama is acting the way he does. After the events with Yakumo and his underlings, Kurama fell in some kind of depression. The memories of his deceased friend Kuronue haunted him more like he wanted to admit. Kurama never showed any sign of weakness or mental breakdowns, but now, that he has human emotions, he occasionally suffers from them without realizing. After not seeing him for two weeks, you decided you pay him a visit and look how he is doing.

You were worried about Kurama. After the events with the Netherking, King Yakumo and his underlings, Kurama seemed to stopped interacting with his friends. According to Yusuke, he wasn't at school either, and he didn't really answered calls from them. The memory of his old friend Kuronue must have torn painful wounds, you knew that from the moment after Kurama had defeated the Netherlord demon, who had disguised himself as Kuronue.

For a long time you quarreled with whether you should visit him at home, at the Minamino house, or whether he would rather have his peace and leave him alone. After all, he didn't just avoid his friends and lover for no reason.

After school, you didn't want to think about it anymore and tried to distract yourself from worrying. But then you noticed that you had gone to the Minamino house by yourself when you stood in front of their front door.

"Okay, that's almost creepy .. His house is in a completely different direction than mine and I'm sure I didn't go in that direction .." you mumbled to yourself and closed your eyes before  a smile escaped your lips. "Well, then I can make sure that he's okay when I am here anyway."

You took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell. It was not your first visit there and you already had a mother-child like relationship with Shiori. To be honest it wasn't difficult to build such a close relationship with such a lovable and warm-hearted woman like Shiori.

Said woman opened the door a few moments later she smiled warmly when she saw the visitor.

“[Y/n]-chan, what a nice surprise that you are coming to visit us again. How are you, dear? “ Shiori asked warmly and pulled you into a motherly hug. You smiled and hugged her back before loosening up and scratching your cheek.

“I'm fine, thanks for asking. Hopefully you too. I'm here because I wanted to see Shuuichi .. He doesn't come to school anymore and .. I just wanted to see how he is doing. " You explained. Shiori's smile fell slowly, the condition of her son was troubling her too.

"Shuuichi has been acting really weird for two weeks ..", Shiori began and looked at the ground. Two weeks, yes that was exactly when the Yakumo thing came up. "He hardly comes out of his room, doesn't eat and stares absently in front of himself .." she explained and you saw how hurt Shiori was about the mental absence of her son. You put your arms reassuringly around the older woman's shoulders and smiled confidently at her.

"That is why I am here. I'm going to kick Shuuichi in the butt so that he can at least eat again. Don't worry, Shiori-san. Shuuichi has had a lot of stress in school and with his friends lately. He doesn't mean it that way, really. " You spoke softly and hugged Shiori again. It was like Shiori was your own mother.

“Thank you for your comforting words, dear. It's just, I've never seen Shuuichi like that before. And that just worries me. " She sighed.

“Me too, believe me. Can I see him? " You asked.

“You don't need to ask permission. He's in his room. That he hasn't left in days. As I said, he doesn't even touch the food, which I put in front of the door .. "

"You know what, don't bring him food today. Just cook as usual and set the table for Shuuichi and me. I'll make sure he comes down.“ You promised her with a smile and that calmed Shiori down again when she nodded gratefully and smiled.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Really."

As Shiori moved away for you to come in, you greeted Hatanaka and Kokoda, Hatanaka's son, as you made your way to Kurama's room. If he didn't want to see you, he could still say it in your face. But now it was important to see how he was doing, when even Shiori was already very worried. That wasn't a good sign ..

In front of his room, you knocked so gently that Kurama probably thought you were his mother.

"I'm not hungry, mother." He answered slightly monotonously and you sighed softly. That was really not the Kurama you knew and you didn't want to leave him in a state like this. Without further hesitation, you opened the door to his room and stepped inside. Kurama, lying on his bed, jumped a bit when the door opened. "I said, I-" his sentence stopped when he didn't see his mother, but you. "...Oh sorry. I thought you were my mother. "

You smiled a little and carefully stepped closer.

"I'ts all right. Please forgive me for showing up unannounced, but .. We are all really worried about you. "You spoke. "Yusuke said, you haven't been to school for weeks and your mother said that you hardly ate anything." Your words became quieter and softer when you looked into his face. He looked unhealthy pale and the glow of his emerald green irises was gone. "Kurama, it is really not a good thing that you distance yourself and try to escape your depressive hole on your own."

Kurama was silent as he listened to you. Did he really looked depressed? He hadn't noticed that at all.

"I'm not distancing myself." He tried to defend himself.

“You do. You even avoid your family and ignore our messages completely. " You contradicted him directly.

"Because I need time for myself?"

A low sigh escaped you. Who could have guessed how stubborn this fox could be when he wanted to? Without saying anything else, you stepped closer until you were right in front of his bed. Then you put your arms around him and pressed him against your body.

“Then why doesn't get your condition better when you're alone? Don't fool yourself, Kurama. Being alone is the last thing you need right now. " You spoke softly and hugged him even more to your body. Kurama allowed you every touch, there was so much trust between you two. After all, that's how it should be in a relationship. The fox sighed in defeat and inhaled your scent deeply.

"Thanks." He said after a short moment of silence.

"For what?"

"That you are so persistent and always go your way." He explained and pulled away from you as he caressed your cheek and smiled slightly. That expression on his face looked much better and you smiled too.

"I have to be persistent because you never admit that you need us." You countered teasingly and were glad that you were able to lure your fox out of his reserved condition. Kurama laughed barely audibly and fell back on his pillow. Then he made a wave of his hand that signaled you to lie down next to him. He didn't have to tell you twice, of course, and you snuggled against his chest as you laid down in bed with him. There was a pleasant silence for a moment, until you spoke up again. "Kuronue must have been a very close friend."

“Yes, he was. We were like brothers. ”Kurama explained with a sad smile. You noticed his broken voice and gently stroked his cheek, trying to comfort him.

"Would you like to tell me more about him?"

"What do you want to know?" Kurama asked, surprised that you were so interested in his old friend.

"How did you meet? What was his personality? How long have you been friends? Things like that. ” You listed and Kurama nodded.

"That could take some time," he warned.

"That doesn't matter, I don't intend to leave you anytime soon." You waved your hand and Kurama chuckled softly before he breathed a short kiss on your lips.

"All right."

And so Kurama began with his stories from his past. How he met Kuronue when they were both still children and had lost their parents in a war. You asked him if demons had "children forms", which he answered with a "yes" and you giggled cutely when you imagined Youko as a child.

"What's so funny?" he asked and squeezed your shoulder affectedly as he held you close.

“Funny is the wrong word. I'm just imagining what you looked like as a kid. With your cute little fox ears, the short tail, shorter white hair. Really lovable and adorable. " You admitted, still giggling. You already saw his Youko form at the Dark Tournament.

“If you put it that way now, it almost sounds as if I couldn't be taken seriously. But I take that as a compliment. At least you don't know how I looked as human child. ” Kurama mused.

"Um, I do. Shiori has already shown me some photo albums. "

"Eh? When? Which?"

Kurama's surprised exclamation was just so cute that you had to laugh again.

“Back from your kindergarten days. You were really cute. And then I saw pictures when you were 14. You are not recognizable at all with short hair. “ You spoke and Kurama smiled.  “I can reassure you, there weren't any embarrassing pictures."

"There are no embarrassing pictures of me."

"And what about the 'shaving accident' when you had to go to kindergarten with a bald head?"

"... how do you know about it?"

"Hahaha."

"At least I didn't think there were monsters in my closet until I was 13." he teased back now and you blushed a little.

"H-Hey, first of all because you're a demon and second, you didn't had a stupid big brother who told you horror stories and even hid in the closet at night to scare me to death."

"Touché"

You both looked at each other and then shared a laugh. It was so good to see him laughing again.

Kurama went on to tell how he and Kuronue had gone on missions together and how the two were constantly endangered by Youko's spontaneity and carelessness. The expression on his face was priceless when you said that you can imagine that he must have been a chaotic as Youko.

It actually took some time before Kurama's stories were exhausted and he closed his eyes. He hadn't talked so much about his past in a long time.

“I hope it wasn't too difficult to tell me all of this. The last thing I want is to open more wounds. ", You apologized and averted your gaze, feeling a little guilty. You really hoped that your curiosity did not cause him to fall deeper into the hole of depression again. A warm hand on your cheek brought your face back in his direction and you saw him smile genuinely.

“To be honest, I also thought that it hurts to talk about it, but .. I have to say that I feel much more liberated now. It was so good to tell our stories and refresh my memories. I am not sad, [Y/n]. I am happy. Happy about the memories that I regained of my old friend again and happy that I could talk that off my mind. " He spoke softly. You smiled and leaned your head on his.

"See? You just needed someone to talk to."

“No, not 'someone'. You are exactly the person I needed without realizing it. So .. thank you for coming here. " He whispered and pulled you into a gentle and innocent kiss. You closed your eyes and returned the kiss just as lovingly, until the lack of oxygen caused the two of you to break away from the kiss. You leaned forehead against forehead and Kurama hugged his you close.

"No need to thank me. I wanted to show up earlier, but Yusuke and Hiei advised me against doing so. They said you needed this break to collect your thoughts. "

"Yusuke said something like that?" Kurama asked incredulously, causing you to laugh again.

"Let's say Hiei said it."

"I see. I really needed time for myself, but .. I didn't realize how much I would miss you during this time. "

"Oh? A phone call would have been enough and I would have been with you immediately. " You teased him and played with one of his strands of hair.

"Maybe I wanted to see how long it would take until you couldn't take it anymore without me?" He teased back and his hand caressed your clothed bum shamelessly.

"As I said, it only took me so long because of Hiei. If it had been up to me, I would have shown up on the first day you were absent. " You pouted. Kurama smiled. He wouldn't have thought it was possible, but you actually managed to lift him out of his cloud of sorrow. "Can you do me a favor?" You asked then.

"Anything you want," he said, caressing your cheek lovingly. You leaned into his touch and sighed blissfully. Oh, how you had missed this closeness to him in the past two weeks.

“Are you coming downstairs for dinner? I told Shiori to cook for both of us and that I will definitely bring you downstairs. With or without your consent, so better say yes. " You warned with a wink, whereupon Kurama's smile only broadened and softened.

“Of course I'll come with you. Even if I would like to see how you 'force' me. " He said and saw you grin.

"Oh. No you don't want to. I can assure you of that, fox. “ You whispered resolutely and then got up from your cozy, cuddled up to your boyfriend in bed, place,. “Dinner should be ready soon. Let's get down there. "

“Today is Friday, mother always does something more elaborate today. She probably have just started cooking. ”Kurama commented.

"I know. That's exactly why we're going downstairs. You can finally talk to your stepfather and stepbrother again and I'll help Shiori in the kitchen. “ You answered and when you saw how Kurama opened his mouth to say something, you cut him off. “And no, Kurama, I will not allow myself to be talked out of helping. I kind of invited myself to dinner. So it is the least that I can do and help Shiori with the cooking. ”You said and Kurama just smiled silently. He knew that if his girlfriend got something on her mind, he got stuck with arguments. And in that case he would be the last one to forbid you to integrate into his family.

The young couple left the room and came down the stairs, when Shiori heard two sets of footsteps and ran from the kitchen to the living room, which was adjacent to the stairs.

"Shuuichi ..!" She shouted and smiled in relief when she saw that her son seemed apparently better.

"Sorry for bothering you, mother." He apologized and hugged his mother tightly. Shiori shook her head in understanding.

"The main thing is that you are better. I am so glad that you are back on track. You looked so terrible the last few days .. So pale, as if the spirits of life had left you. "

"What? That bad? " Kurama asked, shocked, before Hatanaka laughed gently and put his arm around his son-in-law like a companion.

“Yes, my boy. But as I can see you had a very good therapy from this phase. You look great. “ he agreed. Kurama smiled and closed his eyes.

“I'm sorry for all the grief. But you're right, I actually had the best therapy you can imagine. " He spoke and looked at you, making you avert your gaze in embarassment and playing with one of your strands of hair.

"Ahaha. I'll go into the kitchen and help Shiori with the cooking. "

"Dear, you really don't have to. Basically everything has already been prepared. "

"I still want to help."

"Alright."

Kurama smiled contentedly when the two women disappeared towards the kitchen and he stayed in the living room with Hatanaka.

"And we can also make ourselves useful and set the table."

"Yes, stepfather."

Kurama smiled again and looked into the kitchen. Shiori and you laughed together and talked lively. He was so happy that his loved one and his mother got along so well. But then again ... Was there anyone who didn't get along with Shiori? She was downright an angel. The dearest person on earth. Only such a person could eventually change his demonic beliefs.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

During dinner you sat between Kurama and Shiori, next to her Hatanaka and Kokoda rounded off the table on the other side to Kurama. Everyone talked freely and Kurama seemed to have finally found his way back to his friendly nature.

Under the table, his hand wandered inconspicuously next to him while he was eating and gently took your hand to give it an affectionate squeeze. You looked under the table beside you and smiled as you looked up at Kurama and looked into his happily vibrating irises. You two lingered in this rigidity for a moment until Kokoda blinked and looked under the table.

"Can't you two keep your hands off each other for 5 minutes?" Kokoda asked amused and Hatanaka scolded his son with clearing his throat. Kurama and you blushed because you were caught and looked into the smiling faces of Shiori and Hatanaka. Despite this situation, Kurama did not let go of your hand.

“There is a lot of catching up to do. We haven't seen each other for 2 weeks, ” the redhead smiled, slightly cheeky.

"And whose fault is that?", You asked teasingly, which made Kokoda laugh.

"She owned you, brother."

"It would be unfair if I were always the winner in the relationship."

Kurama's quick-witted answer made you open your mouth a little indignantly in shock before looking at Kurama's smiling face. He winked at you to make you understand that it was all just kidding. But of course you knew that beforehand.

“Shuuichi, don't be so complacent. Of course you are the winner in this relationship. After all, I'm a good catch. " You said jokingly, whereupon Kokoda patted his brother on the shoulder in a friendly manner.

"Your girlfriend is really on fire, Shuuichi." He said with a grin.

"Indeed." Kurama agreed with his stepbrother and pulled on your hand, which he held the whole time, to pull you close with a little more force. Now his lips were on your ear and his voice was deep and low so that his family could not hear what he was whispering in your ear. “Without you, this dinner  would be pretty uncomfortable. But the mood is so harmonic and relaxed. Thank you, my love. " He whispered in your ear and you suppressed a blissful sigh before putting your arm around his head to move so that this time your mouth was at his ear and you could whisper back.

“It's just because you have a really great family. With them you can just laugh and feel good. Believe me, we are all happy that you’re back to being the old Shuuichi we all love. So no need to thank me. "You breathed in his ear and Kurama's smile turned into an almost embarrassed grin.

"Awww. Get a room, lovebirds. " Kokoda said, until he was scolded again by Hatanaka. Man, this boy could be even more annoying than Yusuke with his comments. This two would certainly get along well.

After this incident, the rest of the dinner was quieter and everyday things were talked about. Kurama thanked you for being so prescient and for telling Shiori a good excuse that explained his condition. He could never told her the truth. It was almost frightening to him how well you could adapt to the circumstances of his family and almost automatically only call him Shuuichi automatically when you entered the house. He often had to interrupt Yusuke or Kuwabara when they wanted to adress him as Kurama in front of his mother, because they had simply forgotten that Shiori knew nothing of his true identity.

"The food was really delicious, Shiori." You said then.

“Thank you, but actually it was partly the food that you helped with. So you basically gave yourself a compliment. " Shiori replied, laughing gently.

"Heh. I was just helping you out. I can't come close to your culinary skills. " You laughed and saw Shiori get up to get the dishes. "Stay seated. I'll take care of that. "

“Oh no, you are a guest. I shouldn't have allowed you to help in the first place. There is no way I could let you do the dishes. " Shiori sighed with a guilty conscience.

“I don't mind! The food was so delicious and you can treat yourself to some rest. After all, you have to cook and run the household for three men who are always hungry. I bet nobody will help you from this lazy himbos! " You snorted in a „not serious“ tone and pointed to the men.

"That's not true. Kazuya helps me a lot and Shuuichi also does what he can. Kokoda also has his household chores, which he does, thanks to Shuuichi. " Shiori explained with a smile.

"Really? Okay, then I didn't say anything. But I still do the dishes. I can always relax and pursue my thoughts, " You explained further.

"If you don't take mother's help, may I help you with the dishes?" Kurama's voice was soft as he put his hand on your shoulder and brushed down a few stray strands of hair. A tender smile was reflected on his lips.

"Oah, please no sex in the kitchen. That's so unhygienic. " Kokoda groaned annoyed, but he continued to grin when the couple turned away from each other, blushing.

"Of course you can. But no roaming hands." You warned and Kurama chuckled as he followed you into the kitchen. Shiori and Hatanaka looked at each other and laughed heartily.

"They are so cute together."

"Indeed. I'm so happy that Shuuichi has finally found someone who makes him so happy. "

"Yes."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

In the kitchen, you hummed happily as you washed the dishes. You really enjoyed Kurama's family. They were so warm and harmonious and you already felt like a member of the family. Above all, however, you were infinitely happy that your Kurama was back to normal and no longer isolated from everyone.

“It would be the best if we give Yusuke a call and tell him that you are feeling better. Otherwise he'll bomb me with countless messages tomorrow and want to know how my visit went. " You chuckled.

"Mhm. Or we just keep our cell phones off and just enjoy the next few days as a couple? ” Kurama suggested instead, which elicited an embarrassed smile from you.

“A tempting idea. But it's not fair for our other friends. They're very worried about you too. Please. ” You said then and Kurama couldn't help but put the towel, he was holding to dry the dishes, aside and put his arms around you from behind to hold you tight.

"Alright. A short feedback can be set up. But after that I would like to be undisturbed with my girlfriend for a while. Or do you have any objection? ”He asked and began to nibble on your earlobe. You stopped your work and closed your eyes to gasp softly.

"No, I haven't," You replied softly, whereupon Kurama grinned against your skin and kissed your neck.

"Good .." he breathed and his hands went under your shirt to caress the bare skin underneath.

"S-Shuuichi .. Not .. here." Your protests were quiet and uncertain. Kurama started sucking on your neck while his hands went to your breasts and gently squeezed them over your bra. "Your family could hear us .."

"Then you shouldn't be so loud, huh?" Kurama purred in a deep and erotic voice that left no room for discussion. You bit your lip as he put his knee between your legs from behind and used his knee to grind and rub at your crotch. His fingers flicked your clothed nipples and his mouth was hot and greedy between your neck and shoulder.

"N-No .. We can't …" it was rare that you resisted against such intimacies. In fact, you never had any objections. "... I don't trust my mouth ..." You explained afterwards.

Kurama kissed your neck gently up to your ear before looking at her questioningly. "I find your mouth trustworthy." He smiled and took your earlobe into his mouth to suck on it. You sighed and slowly moved away from him before turning around and looking deeply and apologetically into his eyes.

"You do not understand this. I'm afraid ... that the name I'm going to moan won't be Shuuichi. " You said very quietly and Kurama understood now. He smiled understandingly and pulled you into a gentle hug before kissing your forehead lovingly.

"I understand. Thank you for your care. " He whispered against your lips before giving you a gentle kiss.

You smiled gratefully and laid your head on his shoulder. "It's fine. Maybe we'll find a soundproof room here. " You smirked jokingly. Kurama glanced at you with an illegible face before lifting you up in his arms. "Wh-?"

"The bathroom is soundproof," he grinned.

"… Seriously? .." You laughed and put your hand  over your forehead when your redhead only smiled innocently at you. "And the dishes?"

“Let's foist them off to my stepbrother. He's been neglecting his duties lately anyway. Just like me in .. certain other things. " He whispered and kissed your lips gently. You blushed after realizing what he meant and just giggled happily as Kurama carried you past his family with a laugh and asked Kokoda to continue the dishes.

You disappeared up the stairs to the bathroom and were not seen again that evening.

Everything was the same again.

[eyes-of-heimdall]

Hello! I don't think anyone has asked this for a head canon yet, but could you write a head canon about MC being tiny? What would be Yakumo's and Louis' reactions?

[I don’t think I’ve had that appear on my blog yet, so I can do this! However due to recent update that my area has been infected, it took me some time to get this going so I’m so sorry if it isn’t as good as it could be!]

Yakumo with a tiny MC

 Oooh with how tiny you are, he can’t help but to always want to pick you up! Yakumo is a GIANT and in comparison to you, he finds this too adorable and always enjoys having you in his arms! Not to mention how he has to look down at you when you try to be threatening to him, which makes him smile even more!

If he wanted to tease you? All he has to do is put your favorite snack just barely out of reach or hold it above your head and the cost of getting it down would be a kiss on the lips. If you actually needed help getting something down though, he’s there for you immediately, asking if there’s anything else he can do for you.

In fights however, seeing your tiny frame dashing between enemies and leaving carnage or wielding a weapon potentially twice your size to level lost, the pride he would feel would cause him to nearly burst but if something happened to you? Be prepared to see a whirlwind of anger and rage at someone hurting you

He would definitely enjoy being the big spoon, loving how perfectly you seem to fit into his arms as he’s de-stressing from a long day’s mission. If you snag clothing from him for bed? He would be in love with how you look wearing his clothes and he may even ask you to wear them more often

Of course, once you two have settled down and you’re falling asleep, he holds you closer, calling you his personal teddy bear that he can’t sleep without. When you give him a sleepy laugh and ask him to call you that more often, Yakumo is more than willing to do so.

Louis with a tiny MC

Louis is fairly short in comparison to some people at base, standing at about 5′9. So with you being tinier than him? Even he couldn’t help but to find you adorable. That is, until you sat on his lap or snuggled up to him in bed. Then you would get a blushing mess who you can’t help but loving

Though he too would have fun with you being such a tiny person. Louis would occasionally poke fun at your height in a lighthearted and fun manner. From gentle taps on your nose to forehead kisses when you’re playfully angry, Louis is one who would just make it hard to be truly angry not because you can’t be but because his style of poking fun is so sweet that you just feel good about your size.

He would also be big on giving you even more cute nicknames than usual, all of them referring to how cute you are, partially because of your size, especially since even he would seem to engulf you in his arms when he’s holding you.

Stealing his shirts would garner a response of his face being dusted pink and him stammering out how cute you look in his clothes because this absolute nerd never expected you to steal his clothes. Add in the sight of his clothes being dresses on you and you have a recipe for a lot of embarrassing thoughts from him

Louis, for being the calm and collected one, would lecture you if he sees you coming back injured from fights and when partnered up, he would make it his goal to try to make sure that you don’t take any unnecessary damage because he knows that if you take a nasty hit, while he would be focused on getting you to safety; he would be more reckless and kicking himself over letting you get injured when he could’ve blocked it or at least taken it for you

Lastly, after a hard day, Louis wouldn’t care if he was the little spoon, big spoon or just has you under his arm; the comfort he feels when he knows you’re safe is like no other feeling. It’s as if the stress and worry of the world is off his shoulders and seeing your tiny body curled up against his in your sleep makes his heart race a little bit more.

[Translation] Tsukihana Kagura Cast Presentation: Botan (ROCK DOWN)

We’re even closer to the last pages of the pamphlet. Good news though, I managed to get all the message coasters, so after infinit0 is posted, I’ll also post the messages. They’re gold

Anyway, here’s Ryota’s Rock Down translation~! Please don’t repost/retranslate/reuse this translation. Likes and reblogs are appreciated!

Nation: the affiliated country’s name Flower name: the name as a dancer Dance technique: the name of each person’s characteristic dance Dance props: the name of the tool used while dancing (there are cases when none are used)

Onoda Sho

“Why, hello there. Would you like to dance with me?”

Nation: Botan ※chief

Flower name: Zekka (Exquisite)

Dance technique: Mantenkou (The Best Kind of Happiness)

Dance props: No props

He is a beautiful young man who has a very relaxed smile. He looks like he’s unreliable at first glance, but don’t be fooled by his appearance.

He is a strong man who is able to subdue any sort of fight, dispute, and trouble that occurs in Botan, the City of Pleasure, by just lifting one finger.

His one worry is that his message of peace can’t seem to reach the people who are uneducated, untrained, and ignorant.

He himself doesn’t have any ulterior motives. As long as the other party is capable of understanding, he will show them the utmost kindness. He is brilliant and beautiful, truly someone fitting to be Botan’s face.

Kujikawa Haruto

“Ah, I hurt my finger.”

Nation: Botan

Flower name: Tsuchigumo (Grownded Cloud)

Dance technique: Yakumo (Clouds Overlooking Everything)

Dance props: Sword / Nameless [Excalibur]

He is an orphan who was raised under harsh circumstances in Botan’s red-light district. After some unexpected turn of events, he was saved by Sho and Gaku.

Even now, among Botan’s Great Six (Sho, Haruto, Reiji, Ayumu, Gaku, Ruka) he is adored and loved as their youngest member.

Normally, he doesn’t show much expression on his face and he doesn’t complain. There was a time when the others assumed that his body couldn’t feel pain, but it turns out that he was raised to keep his pain to himself.

Thanks to the guidance of his acting older brothers, his personality has improved considerably. He loves sweets, so if you give him some, he looks expressionless but is very happy deep inside.

Interview with Onoda Sho (ROCK DOWN)

Q. Please tell us about the highlights of this stage play and your impressions or story behind your partnered dance.

We do a very romantic dance. The music is really very beautiful. It is sorrowful and delicate and I think that dancing with the long sleeves convey that kind of feeling accordingly. It’s one of the dance’s highlights, I’d say? As for behind-the-scenes stories… Ah, after the lessons were over, Haruto invited me out to eat in a very businessman-like fashion and then we went to go eat some steaks (laughs). We both ate our fill together ♪

Q. In Tsukihana, all 12 nations have their own specialties, but if you could come up with a new specialty for your own country, what would it be?

Steamed buns. 

Because the costumes give off a very Chinese feeling, too.

Q. Lastly, leave a short message for the fans.

ROCK DOWN’s nation is called 'Botan'. The actual botan flower is said to be the King of Flowers, but it really is just a world filled with very beautiful costumes. I truly wish that you would enjoy this beautiful and magnificent world of Tsukihana Kagura ♪

Interview with Kujikawa Haruto (ROCK DOWN)

Q. Please tell us about the highlights of this stage play and your impressions or story behind your partnered dance.

I’m doing my best with the pair dance even though I jammed my finger. I’m joking. I think that the top priority is to watch the performance so please do see us, okay?

As for behind-the-scenes stories, all of the rehearsals have been very fun. We go out to eat regardless of unit divisions. It’s fresh and very fun. We practice and encourage each other, too. I’ll do my best so I can eat delicious food.

Yeah~.

Q. In Tsukihana, all 12 nations have their own specialties, but if you could come up with a new specialty for your own country, what would it be?

THE SWORD [EXCALIBUR].

Q. Lastly, leave a short message for the fans.

WELCOME!! THIS PERSON HERE WILL GUIDE YOU TO TSUKIHANA KAGURA!! (Yes, please!)

Amaha Reiji

“Reckless guys won’t be popular, y’know?”

Nation: Botan

Flower name: Hayato (Great Falcon)

Dance technique: Sharaku (Unconventional)

Dance props: Sword / Inscription: [Basara] (Unhesitant)

He is the young master of the largest inn in Botan. He is an attractive man who has a reputation of absorbing himself in his indulgent pleasures, but it’s all just a façade.

The truth is that he is the Staff Officer of a Vigilante Group that watches over and stops the troublesome things that happen in Botan.

If the surface beauty of the City of Pleasures is Sho, then Reiji is the hidden leader.

He keeps his job as a secret from his childhood friend Ayumu that he in turn gets scolded for always going out at night.

Tachibana Ayumu

“I love dancing. If it’s possible, I want to dance forever.”

Nation: Botan

Flower name: Adzuma (Dame)

Dance technique: Gyokufuyou (Wild Lilac)

Dance props: No props

He is a popular dancer in Botan. He practices fervently every day so that he can become a Flower Dancer, but his body is actually frail so he ends up being bedridden for some time.

Reiji is his childhood friend. He has complicated feelings towards Reiji whose dance seems more eye-catching compared to his own even though Ayumu is the one who works as a professional dancer.

Seeing him apprehend Reiji in the middle of the city for his nightly escapades (when in truth, Reiji is just serving as the Vigilante Group’s leader) is a famous sight in Botan.

He really loves sweet things and his recent interest is going to tea houses with Haruto, who he treats as a younger brother.

Interview with Amaha Reiji (ROCK DOWN)

Q. Please tell us about the highlights of this stage play and your impressions or story behind your partnered dance.

To be honest, I thought that the pair dances we did in general before this was already tough, but this one begs to differ. As you all know, I’m far from being hot-headed when it comes to things like this, but when you have someone who says “You can still go on, can’t you?” right beside you, then of course I’m not gonna lose (bitter smile). Okay~ Ayumu, once more from the start.

Q. In Tsukihana, all 12 nations have their own specialties, but if you could come up with a new specialty for your own country, what would it be?

Takoyaki 

I just feel like eating some today (laughs).

Q. Lastly, leave a short message for the fans.

I think that people wearing traditional clothes look good, but actually wearing one makes me feel so confident. Is it because I’m Japanese? I’m really excited to wear traditional clothing with a slight fantasy touch to them!

Interview with Tachibana Ayumu (ROCK DOWN)

Q. Please tell us about the highlights of this stage play and your impressions or story behind your partnered dance.

It seems like the Tachibana Ayumu in the Tsukihana Kagura world is also struggling with his very awkward self, isn’t he? (bitter smile) Even so, he really loves dancing and it makes the real me want to cheer him on, too. On top of the stage, it is Reiji who dances gracefully and I who dances gallantly. I guess I could say that’s one of its highlights? Please look forward to it.

Q. In Tsukihana, all 12 nations have their own specialties, but if you could come up with a new specialty for your own country, what would it be?

Foot bath.

Q. Lastly, leave a short message for the fans.

Firstly, my hair is long again, isn’t it? (laughs) We use model wigs for the stage, and it is one transformation to look forward to. I’ll devote myself to make it look as if I’ve become one with the flowers in this traditional costume, too. I will be in your care.

Oguro Gaku

“Hey, you there. It’s dangerous beyond that point, you know? It’s best not to be reckless.”

Nation: Botan

Flower name: Shiragi (Tender Gossamer)

Dance technique: Kokuryuukin (Wild Peony)

Dance props: Hand fans / Inscription: [Kakushu] (Eternal Patience)

He is a young host who takes care of the women in Botan. It’s not rare for him to get involved in skirmishes around the city so he is very strong.

He is gentle and warm towards everyone so he’s very popular. However, he has sworn not to fall in love and cross that line with the women he entertains at night. In a sense, he’s only next to Reiji for being very famous for making women cry.

He is really great at cooking and hopes to have his own shop someday.

Nadumi Ruka

“The only one who can stop me is myself!”

Nation: Botan

Flower name: Himuka (Sunshine)

Dance technique: Hourakumon (Southern Gate)

Dance props: Demon Mask / Inscription: [Ashura]

He looks young but he’s actually one head of the Vigilante Group. He’s actually very strong and manly.

He doesn’t change his attitude towards anyone regardless of gender or age and is always very true to himself. This is the reason why he is praised and called “Aniki!” by his subordinates.

He’s actually very popular with girls too but he’s too dense to notice. Which is why he’s always complaining and saying “I wish I was as popular as Reiji~”

He met Gaku one night after he got into a fight, and ever since then, they’ve become the closest of friends.

Interview with Oguro Gaku (ROCK DOWN)

Q. Please tell us about the highlights of this stage play and your impressions or story behind your partnered dance.

There’s one part that’s pretty easy to understand. It’s Ruka and I doing backflips together! I really didn’t imagine that we’d do it, and we’d only talked about maybe doing cartwheels? But the talk somehow ended up with us saying we can do backflips so we ended up doing it for real in the actual performance. I’m not merely saying this to brag, okay? It’s really happening (laughs). I’ll do my best so that people who meet us for the first time will end up wondering who we are.

Q. In Tsukihana, all 12 nations have their own specialties, but if you could come up with a new specialty for your own country, what would it be?

A small restaurant called “Gaku”.

Q. Lastly, leave a short message for the fans.

It’s a bit unusual, but I have a lot of scenes with SolidS’ Dai-san and Procella’s Kai-san. We still haven’t reached that part in rehearsals, but I’m already excited about. Now then, I wonder how it will turn out~

Interview with Nadumi Ruka (ROCK DOWN)

Q. Please tell us about the highlights of this stage play and your impressions or story behind your partnered dance.

It really burns a lot of calories! The way Gakkun and I make an entrance is so full of action, so we spin around, we do kicks, we do sword tricks, and all that.

It’s a very busy dance! (laughs) But I don’t really dislike it, and I’ll do my best to make it the flashiest scene ever!!

Let’s do thisーーーーー　＝≣(((つ・w・)つ

Q. In Tsukihana, all 12 nations have their own specialties, but if you could come up with a new specialty for your own country, what would it be?

A crepe shop called “Botan” 

I bet that the crepes in Botan will be flowery, too!

Q. Lastly, leave a short message for the fans.

I feel like the new entertainment halls nowadays is similar to Botan? I’ll do my best to protect Botan’s pretty ladies and gentlemen! Everyone, come and play at Botan, too, okay~? ☆

Earliest Memories

It was a cold winter night as The Yakumo family made their way through the snowstorm. Yakumo Hiro had just picked up his daughter from her mother’s house. Her mother Ito Amari asked if she could spend one more night with their daughter before she would return to Tokyo in the morning. Although Hiro and Amari weren’t married they were still civil and in love so of course he told her yes. They took her car while his drove ahead with the driver. 

Hiro noticed the storm was starting to pick up. He glanced in the rear view mirror to see his daughter asleep on the back seat. “She’s asleep finally” his voice was deep. Amari glanced back and smiled softly seeing her all comfortable. “I want to have her when she’s not in school” she told him, frowning and looking ahead. Hiro glanced at her. “Then you’re giving up your custody for her during the school year?” he asked, his voice straining to stay calm. “I rather not.” she commented, her voice turning cold. 

He took a deep breath trying to stay calm. “Sakura won’t be able to visit you during those times. She travels with me learning the business” he commented. “Hiro. Sakura will not be a Yakuza leader like you. She will become a proper lady” she told him. Hiro’s voice got a little louder. “Over my dead body. Sakura will break the curse of the Yakumo clan and take her place in the underworld” he stated, having already planned his daughter's life the moment he found out he was going to a baby girl. His knuckles were turning white while gripping the steering wheel. 

Sakura was in the back seat lying down trying to stay quiet. She had woken up from her father’s stearn loud voice. At nine years old she was slightly used to her parents fighting. She did miss her spending time with her mother but she was used to living with her father. “It is too dangerous for Sakura to live with you without me there or a bodyguard.” he shot at Amari. Amari got quiet. “I don’t want to fight with you” she finalized with him. An awkward silence filled the car. 

To break the awkwardness, Sakura sat up and looked out the window. “Daddy are we almost home?” He glanced at the rear view mirror and was surprised she woke up but he also knew that he was slightly loud so it would make sense that he would wake her. “Another twenty minutes baby and we should be home” he told her. Sakura didn’t respond but was glad to hear the kindness she was used to her father’s voice. 

The nine year old looked out the window and noticed how dark it really looked. Flecks of white snow passed by quickly. “Why is it so hard to see outside?” she asked expecting either of her parents to answer. “There was supposed to be a snowstorm tonight. I’m sure we will reach your home before it starts” her mother assured her daughter calmly. 

 Slightly scared, Sakura moved to the middle seat of the car. Her father noticed and chuckled. “It's okay Sakura. It’s just a small storm. This is nothing” he told her but regretted it the moment he said it. Her mother was looking out her window when she felt it as well. She turned towards the father of her daughter. “Hiro?” her voice was in a mere whisper so Sakura couldn't hear the panic in her voice. He mouthed the words, “Black Ice”. Amari’s eyes widened. She wanted to look at her baby but knew that would scare her. She looked ahead to possibly find somewhere they could pull over or drift to a stop. But it was useless as it was all pitch black ahead. Hiro cleared the next streetlight despite running the red light. It was late so there weren't too many cars on the road. 

They were coming up to another red light when Amari saw the 18 wheel big rig heading towards them. “Hiro.” she said a little more sternly. Hiro looked over towards where Amari was staring. He frowned. Amari saw the look on his face and her eyes softened. “Sakura-chan,” her mother called to her sweetly. “Yes mommy?” the little girl responded never noticing what was going on. Her father took this moment to quietly unbuckle himself. “You know that despite Mommy and Daddy fighting all the time that we love you very much right?” her voice sounded a little desperate. “Of course I know that Mommy!” Sakura perked up. This little girl knew how loved she was and hearing her parents tell her how much they loved her always made her happy and excited. Hearing the excitement relieved her mother and she closed her eyes accepting what was coming. 

Her father set the car on cruise control to head straight at 64 kmh. He looked at the woman who birthed his miracle daughter. The woman he had fallen in love with when he was younger. The only person who stood up to him. “I love you” he told her and climbed into the back seat with his little girl. He braced her against his chest. “Cover your ears baby. Don’t open your eyes. Don’t forget how much we love you” he whispered to her. His body covered her body. Her head placed carefully against the center of his chest. 

The little girl covered her ears and tightly closed her eyes. But it wasn’t enough. The truck saw the car too late. The driver slid on the black ice. The top of the car was completely cut off by the trailer sending the family flying onto the street. The truck’s cab hit the light pole killing him on impact. Ito Amari, Sakura’s mother, flew into a snow back already dead. Sakura and her father flew out the back broken window. Her father held as night as possible despite the glass landing on him. They slid on the ice. Hiro didn't let go of his baby while she screamed in fear. What killed her father was his head slamming against the black ice. Still even dead he didn’t let her go. 

Yakumo Hiro’s driver, Nakama Kai had just arrived at the main house of the Yakumo Yakuza. He had parked the car away and entered the compound. He was greeted by his twin Nakama Bai. “Where is Hiro-sama and Sakura-hime?” he asked his twin. Kai looked back towards the gate. “They should be here soon. “Ito-sama wanted to come over for the night so they took her car,” he explained. Bai looked up at the sky as the snow started to fall faster. “I hope they all get home soon. The storm is starting to pick up” he commented. Kai nodded. 

At some point Sakura’s head hit the black ice but thanks to her father holding her and protecting her, he had softened the impact causing the girl to only pass out. When she came to her father's head was against her chest. His hand still held her head as much as his large hand could. The little girl groaned as she woke up finally. 

She tried to move her head to see what the situation was. Her chest felt heavy and looking down she saw her father’s head on her. “Daddy?” she asked him, moving her hands a little shaking him. “Daddy wake up” she whimpered. He didn’t respond. She kept shaking him calling for him but he never responded. She was getting cold. “Daddy please wake up” she cried. 

Unable to think or do anything was when she heard her father’s phone ringing. She quickly found it in his breast pocket that was lying flat on the ice. She pulled it out and answered it without even checking the ID. “Hello!? Hello?” she cried into the phone. A warm familiar voice answered. “Princess?” “Kai-san! Kai-san we were in an accident. Daddy isn't moving. I can’t see Mommy” she broke down crying on the phone. “Okay Princess. It’s okay. I’m on my way to you okay Princess. Bai and I are leaving right now don’t worry we are coming for you” he told her quickly. “Wait Kai-san don’t leave me” she quickly cried but he had already hung up. Sakura fumbled with the phone trying to call her father’s second in command.

Kai had hung up on Sakura only because he needed to dial 119 letting them know about the accident. He informed them about a child being alive and the other two people who were supposed to be with her at the time. They assured Kai that they would look for the accident as it sounded like it was a big one. But Kai wasn’t just going to leave the little princess behind like that. No, he looked at his twin. “Our princess needs us” he told him. Bai nodded and they both quickly went to the car. 

Sakura was starting to get cold. She tried to cry more but her tears had ran out. Her voice was hoarse from crying and her throat hurt from calling out for her mom and crying. The cold air was taking an effect on her and she wanted to sleep. “Daddy?” she whimpered once more but still he hasn't responded. 

She lied back ready to close her eyes when she saw lights of red and blue flashing in the distance. “Ah Kai-san” she muttered wanting to fall asleep. The lights got closer and the little girl struggled so hard to stay away. “Hang in there little one” one of the men told her going over to her. “Stay awake” he said, getting on his knees and looking at her. “Can you tell me your name?” he asked her. “Sakura” she muttered. “Yakumo Sakura.” He nodded as he looked down at the man that was lying on top of her. “That's Daddy. He hasn’t woken up yet” she told the EMT. THe man checked Hiro’s pulse but there wasn’t one. “Alright Sakura-chan I’m going to move your dad now so I can check you out” he told her. She simply nodded. 

The EMT moved her father’s body off the little girl. It was painful as Sakura cried out weakly. The EMT was confused why she cried out when he saw her legs. They were crushed. The bones looked like they had caved in on themselves. The first responder was shocked. He pulled out a small sedative out of his bag for her. “Here you go Sakura-chan. This will help with the pain” he told her. She nodded; she was in too much pain to fight against the needle. He administered it then went to go talk to his partner. 

The two of them stood near the back entrance of their ambulance. “I found the reported nine year old female. She had a male with her in his early 40s no pulse.” he told his partner. His partner frowned. “I have a male in the truck cab 50s deceased and a female in her late 30s deceased as well” he shared. “Let’s get the nine year old to the hospital at least and leave the bodies to the police who should be arriving at any moment’ he told his partner. They nodded together and pulled out the stretcher. 

“I gave her a light sedative to help with the pain but it looks like her legs are crushed. She has a weak pulse and needs surgery now” he shared as they pushed the stretcher towards her. Sakura looked up at them and tried to sit up. “No no Sakura-chan don’t get up we got you” one of them assured her. She shook her head. “I can’t feel my legs” she whimpered. “It’s okay” they tried to reassure her as they lifted her up on to the stretcher. The little girl whimpered a little. 

As they were moving her back to the ambulance was when the police showed up. Sakura being a child and not knowing what her father did for work wasn’t afraid of them. Instead she was crying for her father. “Please we can’t leave Daddy behind” she cried trying to reach for him. She had her father’s cell phone in her other hand. The EMTs didn't have the heart to tell her of her parent’s conditions. Instead they chose to save the little girl’s life rushing her to the hospital first while the police dealt with the accident and bodies. 

 Sakura had tried so hard to stay awake on the way to the hospital but it was too much for her. “Mommy” she whimpered. “Daddy” she whispered right before she started to close her eyes. The last thing she heard was “hurry it up she’s crashing” 

Kai and Bai reached the hospital’s emergency room before Sakura’s ambulance reached there. They waited impatiently for her arrival. When they did hear they both bolted to the back. Sakura wasn't awake and had oxygen hooked up to her. “Sakura-hime” Kai called to her as he ran next to her towards the operation room. She opened her eyes. “Kai-san...Daddy he” Kai grabbed her hand before she could finish. “I know Princess. Bai and I are both here for you” he told her. A nurse stopped Kai from going any further. “Hang in there Princess. We’re waiting for you” he yelled at her. 

Kai and Bai both sat in the waiting room. They took turns getting coffee for the other while keeping the Yakuza informed. When she was stable was when the doctor came out. He came out with the bad news as Kai and Bai surrounded him. “Her legs are practically crushed.” he said up front. “But she’s young and there is a good chance she’ll be able to walk again if we insert metal into her bones to refill the leg bones. It's still in its experimental stages but she’s a great candidate for it.” he shared with them.  The twins looked at one another before Kai said, “Can you fill the bone with Titanium?” The doctor was surprised by that but nodded. “It’ll cost more,” he shared. “Do it. Money isn’t an issue” Bai finalized. The doctor nodded and went back to the operation room. 

A nurse came over to assist them both. The twins settled in getting a private room for her and they knew it would be a long road to recovery for the little Yakuza princess but as long as they could save her that was all that mattered. Yakumo Sakura isn't called a princess because she is spoiled and has an entire empire to inherit. No. She is called a Princess because of how loved she is by everyone that worked for her father. 

One month. 

Six surgeries. 

Bad News after the other

Sakura finally was in a stable condition. She was in a private room at Namimori hospital where both Kai and Bai brough as much of her room as they could. She had heard what happened to her parents. Her father’s life is what protected her own life. Her legs were shattered but thanks to the yakuza money the doctors were able to reconstruct the bone with Titanium metal. It was still experimental but her body agreed with it. A side effect for her though was that the girl was going to need to come back every time she grew a few inches. The bones would either stretch and grow on it’s own or they would need to stretch the bone for her with more Titanium.They had hoped she would one day walk again. 

At the hospital Sakura rarely talked. Her family business was being managed by her father’s second in command, Kai. He had promised her that he would take care of everything until she was ready. The biggest concern for him and his twin was the lively little girl wouldn’t be the same self before the accident. 

Currently Sakura was sitting in her wheelchair looking out the window at Namimori. She still had hopes of her father coming through the door and surprising her with the latest gift from his travels. Her heart sank every time she turned her chair around to see the empty doorway. Despite knowing her father would never walk through any door again, the little girl still couldn’t help but hope.

"Just come play with me, please?"

It was another of those weeks. You've been working for days without a break and Louis's patience ended when you picked up your weapon and dropped it immediately - that's how tired you've gotten. But it's not like you did it without a reason. You wanted to help, to make things easier for everyone and that itself gave you enough energy to continue. But that still didn't convince him, so you pretty much got a house arrest with no chance of getting out any time soon.

It has been two days and doing nothing started taking its toll on you. You've built up so much energy you could jump around like a ball and still have enough energy to mess around in the Depths. You hopped around, destroyed one dummy after another and spent almost too much time with Rin babbling about anything and everything.

Such thing didn't go unnoticed by a certain someone. Yakumo was sitting at the bar and listening in on you and Rin. He didn't usually eavesdrop, but your overly energetic self has made him worried. He even begged Louis to let you out, but with no avail. It was like banging his head against a rock.

But then it hit him. He used the opportunity and joined your conversation. You and Rin were happily chatting away about possible changes in your fight style until Yakumo joined in.

"Hey, (Y/N)~"

The suggestive tone of his voice made you flinch slightly. You've always had a weak spot for him and of course - it didn't go unnoticed.

"A-ah, Yakumo. Need something..?"

Slightly tilting your head to the side, your eyes turned to him. God he could look into your eyes for hours and still not have enough of you.

Your face started changing colour into shades of pink when he didn't say anything and just stared at you. He looked.. lost in thought..?

"U-um, Yakumo, is there something on my face..?"

The pink started to turn into a brighter colour. Your face started to heat up, so you turned away and hoped he didn't notice. It finally hit him that he didn't say anything. Damn, that probably looks weird. He didn't even need to glance at Rin to imagine her face. That grin could be felt miles away.

"Well, uh, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to play a.. game of sorts with me."

Now you weren't the only one blushing. His face started to turn into milder red from the embarrassment.

"A game, huh. I guess I could, but I was just talking with Rin about something important. Could you please wait a bit?"

No, he definitely could NOT wait, not with that cute face of yours, still having a slight trace of the blush from before.

"Aw, come on. That can wait, right? Just come play with me, please?" Before you could answer, you were roughly shoved into his chest, sending you both to the ground. Above your bodies stood the shipper herself and with the most shit eating grin just uttered a simple "sorry" and slipped into the workshop.

"Ah, s-sorry, are you alright..?! Are your hurt..? (Y/N) look at me-" He started reaching for your face with one hand, his other one holding your waist, probably because he tried to save you from falling face first into the ground. His hand froze as he realised the situation you two were in. Thank God others were out, otherwise this would have become a really awkward moment for everyone.

You were lying on top of him, face buried into his chest. Your hands were still holding onto his shoulders from the fall and your legs.. Well, they were in a really bad spot right now. You started wiggling to get off of him, but the more you moved, the more he got afraid something bad would happen. The rubbing wasn't ideal at this moment, so he stiffened a bit, before returning to tending to you. His problem could wait, you couldn't.

"Shit, (Y/N), you okay? You're not hurt or something, are you..?"

"N-no, I'm alright, but um.. Could you please let go of me? I want to get up."

Ah, how could he forget. To be honest, it just felt.. natural, to say the least. He liked the warmth you gave off. Wait, that's not what he should be thinking about now, right?

A bit hesitantly, he let go of your waist. His body protested a bit, since it craved the feeling of your body against his. He fought the urge to hold you some more as his hand slid off your waist. The moment he let go of your waist, you ran off faster than ever. He sighed.

"Well, that could've gone better.."

The rest of the week is gonna be hard for both of you, that's for sure. But maybe it's finally time for you two to confess - you two love each other after all.

Louis x Protagonist/F!Revenant: I’m Glad You’re With Me

“I’m glad you’re with me,” was the last thing Louis said before the unsteady ground crumbled beneath your feet. You reached up with your free hand, bardiche dangling loosely in your other. Your cry was still stuck in your throat, having not had the time to call out.

You watched as Louis’ arm shot downwards, just managing to grasp your wrist before you fell down into the depths. He pulled you up, grunting with the effort and the awkward position he was in. Once Louis hauled you up far enough, you heaved your weapon-bearing arm up and over, pulling every ounce of core strength you had from your muscles to bring your body back onto solid ground.

You rolled onto your back, legs still dangling over the edge, taking a deep breath to steady your nerves. Turning your head, you saw Louis, leaning back on his elbows, looking up at the red sky.

“Louis?” you said softly, watching as his gaze fixed on you above his purifier. “Thank you, you... saved me.”

He nodded, and from how his eyes squinted a little you knew he was smiling at you.

“You would have just regenerated, you know,” he said with a laugh and you shimmied the rest of your body back further from the cliff.

“I know,” you said, standing on slightly shaky legs, dusting off your skirt. “But I’m glad I didn’t have to. Dying still hurts, even as a Revenant.”

He laughed, a little muffled from the mask, and you held your hand out to help him up. He took it, gently, and you wished that there weren’t gloves between your skin. You pulled him up, reaching to straighten his shirt collar and brush some crumbled stone from his shoulders once he stood before you.

“Besides,” you continued, glancing over your blade to make sure it was still in top shape, “who knows where I would have ended up, and I would have worried about leaving you alone.”

His gaze softened, and you blushed, realizing what you had said out loud. “I’ve been alone many times before, but I... appreciate your concern... for my safety,” he replied softly, reaching a hand up to pluck a large chunk of ash from your hair. He tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, his exposed fingertips just grazing your cheek, dry and cold.

You were about to reply, but the telltale screams of the Lost interrupted you.

“I guess that made more noise than I thought,” Louis commented, readying his weapon. It was a small group, only four enemies, but two were holding bayonet rifles, your form right in their sights. Sparing one last glance at your partner, he warped, reappearing directly above one of the riflemen, cleaving it in two with a powerful downward strike. Using Louis��� distraction, you readied your claw, red lightning surrounding you before you pounced, drinking in deep the ichor of the Lost, feeling it course throughout your veins, granting you its power.

The last two enemies were ash before they realized what was happening, Louis and yourself taking out one each with your blades.

Wiping your brow, you listened intently for any other sign of incoming enemies. Hearing nothing, you allowed yourself to relax just a little, the pain of the day’s battles crying a little louder from within your muscles.

“Are you okay?” Louis asked, striding over to you. “Do you have any more regeneration?”

You shook your head, having been running a click above empty for the last hour.

“We should consider going back, then. I need your heart healthy,” he continued, placing a gentle hand on your shoulder. It would be a bit of a trek back to the mistle, but thankfully the vanquished Lost wouldn’t trouble you.

“We’ll lose a lot of progress, Louis,” you replied, racking your brain for the closest safe haven.

“That’s okay. Don’t make me having pulled my arm out of its socket to save you be for nothing,” he said, and you gave him a withering look, guilt in your eyes. He chuckled, shaking his head at you. “I’m only joking. Let’s head back.”

-:- -:- -:-

You sank down gratefully into the spring, having made a beeline for the warm water as soon as you returned to the cathedral, being waylaid only for a moment by Louis who insisted you imbibe a bead before you did anything else. The sweet taste was enough to erase the pain from your body, and the soothing water of the spring would rid you of your exhaustion.

The constant chill in your bones was something you hadn’t gotten used to yet, missing that decidedly human warmth that your skin used to possess. Louis had assured you that your body would feel normal to you eventually, but it would take time.

You let your eyes close, sinking down into the warm water of the spring until it covered your shoulders. You cracked an eye open when you heard gentle splashing next to you, seeing Louis’ bare torso before he too let the warm water overtake him.

“Decided to join me?” you asked softly with a contented sigh, crossing your legs beneath the water.

Louis nodded, meeting your gaze. “Feels very good after today,” he commented.

You cringed, looking away. “I’m sorry if I caused you any unnecessary stress,” you replied meekly, pulling your knees up to your chest and resting your chin on them.

“Stop that,” Louis said, giving you an unimpressed look.

“Stop what?”

“Being so self-deprecating. You have no idea how important you are,” he said, scooting closer to you. “Believe me, I would die and resurrect over and over again if it meant you would be safe. And you still go out of your way to protect me, even though you shouldn’t waste the effort.”

“Louis,” you said, shaking your head. “You’re worth the effort.”

Louis looked at you with an unreadable expression, like he had to make sure he heard you correctly.

“Why are you so considerate of me?” he asked, turning to face you. You felt your cheeks burn, and not from the heat of the water. You knew you shouldn’t have looked at him, but his intense gaze drew you in, left eye framed so nicely by his brown hair.

“You... were kind to me... from the first second we met,” you began, tucking your hair behind your ears. “And you didn’t kick me into a pit or take my friend hostage,” you added, trying to distract him from your flushed face.

He chuckled, and you liked how his eye closed a little when he smiled.

“And you’ve given me a purpose,” you said, words laced with honesty. “I don’t remember what I was doing before I met you, but I know it couldn’t have been as necessary and important as this.” You paused, perfectly timed with a sharp gust of wind swirling the steam around you. “I care about you.”

Feelings were bubbling to the surface of your mind, uncomfortable ones that were most unhelpful. It was even more unhelpful when you felt Louis’s hand on your cheek, tilting your face up so he could kiss you. It was soft and tentative, and you found your eyes closing and lips starting to move in tandem with his.

You pulled away, saying his name as a question, but all he did was give you a crooked smile and kiss you again. You parted your lips when you felt his tongue press against them, feeling high from the metallic taste on it combined with the warmth clinging to your body from the spring. You draped your arms over his shoulders, feeling his hand hook around your waist beneath the water.

Pushing his hair back off his forehead, your lips parted in surprise. His left eye was the ruddy brown that you would see regularly, but the right was a brilliant blue, but with the same deep brown rimming the pupil and spidering out to the edges of his iris.

“So you noticed,” he said with a laugh, eyes closing a little with his easy smile.

“Louis, they’re... stunning,” you replied, your own [E/C] eyes locked onto them. “I wish you wouldn’t cover this one.” You reached your gently to trace your pruning fingertips over his right cheekbone, followed by your lips. He wrapped his arms around you, kissing at your jaw before tracing a line of sweet pecks down your neck.

You felt him inhale against your skin, arms tightening their hold and you had never felt this safe, in either your previous or current life. Cupping his cheeks, you tilted his face up gently to kiss him again, gazing into his multicolored eyes before you let yours close.

Coco stuck an arm out to stop Yakumo from walking down the path to the spring.

“What the-?” he began, indignant, but the woman shushed him, pointing a delicate finger in front of her. Yakumo’s eyes followed, landing on the two Revenants looking very cozy in the center of the pool. Louis was kissing [Y/N] fiercely, and Coco couldn’t help but coo at the sight.

“Damn,” the redhead began, “Louis moves fast.”

Coco stifled a laugh, turning to look at Yakumo. “What do you mean, fast? They’ve been making gooey eyes at each other for weeks,” Coco replied quietly. “Why else do you think they always partner together to go out into the Gaol?”

“And here I was, thinking I was her type,” he said with a sigh.

“Pretty sure you aren’t anyone’s type, Yakumo,” Coco said lowly, “Especially not hers.”

“Ouch, Coco,” he said with a nudge to her bicep. He groaned, scratching at the back of his neck. “Come get me when they’re done sucking face, would ya?” The woman nodded, watching them with a sly smile for just one more long second before quietly pulling the door closed behind her.
