So on Saturday I was at the Requiem Cafe and I was gonna talk about it on the same day but it ended up being a day trip so...

Outside of the Cafe, we went in line 2 hours early and there was already around 50 people. By the end of me leaving the Cafe the line looped around the building and there seemed to be around 200? I spent most of it sitting in line and talking to my sibling. I wished I talked to others but I was nervous and they normally were in friend groups. At least I got to tell this cosplayer that I liked the costume.

Random observations. I noticed I recognized a lot of the unofficial merch, specifically the Spamton keychains and a Spamton Neo hoodie from Etsy. I was able to recognize cozylittleart and colliholly's. Also I didn't realize there was a lot of Spamton lovers? Like there was as much Spamton plushes as there was Sans (what about Ralsei? Granted I forgot to bring him)

The food/inside. Ok it wasn't good because it was overly sweet. Out of the Sea Tea, Taro Tea, and Heat Flamesman, the "heat" one was the best. Ironically, it had ice and literally no spice but since it was fruity and had no cream, it was nice to drink. For the food, don't get the parfait. It has a texture of whipped cream and tastes like pure frosting, sickly sweet. The spide donut was ok, I don't have much to say for it except it's really just chocolate cake with a vaguely citrusy frosting.

For inside, the only Undertale decorations were the cutouts (which were really tall and I couldn't find Papyrus/Sans) so kind of disappointing. I'm also not really sure why they have footage of someone playing Undertale?

☆Overall, I probably wouldn't go here again unless it's like when they're a normal fantasy cafe. The food was overhyped and tbe decorations weren't that great. But I enjoyed it because I got to talk to my sibling about Undertale and I guess shared hype over this. Maybe if I had more friends it'll be more exciting but I'm still glad I went to this one time thing.☆

Extra Affection

Idol Taeyong x Fem Reader

Requested!

note: anon i hope you like this! Thank you for requesting. Enjoy <3

After finding out about the two new members in NCT, you were as excited as everyone else. Even when your boyfriend is in the group, he never told you anything about it. Sungchan and Shotaro were introduced during a special live event and that’s when your eyes sparkled more than ever.

Taeyong had texted you a few days before asking whether you could come to the company on Friday because he knew you’ve been dying to see the new members face to face. He texted while you were having dinner with your family and they got startled when you suddenly jumped out of your seat and started squealing.

“What is wrong with you? Sit down and eat quietly.” Your mother scolded you but you were too busy replying Taeyong to respond to her. “I’m going to see Taeyong this Friday, he’s introducing me to the new members!” You happily said as your father shook his head at your excitement.

“How did you make him date you is still a mystery. I won’t if I was him.” Your mother then added, “He has so many members to take care of and now you’re in the picture. I feel sorry for that boy.” You had a dead-pan look on while listening to their replies. “Thank you for being concerned. Our relationship is doing just fine.” You proudly said and continue to eat.

“Says the one who is not in a boy group of more than 20 people.” “Dad! Do you have too?” You rolled your eyes and started thinking of what outfit to wear on Friday, totally ignoring your parents blabbering about you being full of yourself.

Friday arrived and you had to discreetly make your way inside the building, making sure you blend in with everyone. It has been awhile since you last step into the huge entertainment building and it still awed you every time.

Security was sure tight in here but luckily you have the privilege to access the floors like all the other staffs. After walking through the long hallways, you finally found the practice room Taeyong had told you in his message.

He was currently practicing with the Make A Wish unit that he strictly told you to keep quiet about which you swore to keep your mouth shut. The muffled sound of music could be heard from outside as you rocked on your heels wondering if it was okay to barge in.

Right when you heard loud claps, you slide open the large door handle with your elbow since your hands were full. Obviously you can’t come empty handed, it felt wrong visiting without bringing anything. Especially when it has been a couple of weeks since you last met up with your boyfriend.

The moment you stepped in the room, all heads turned and only one came to greet you. You had a huge smile on when you finally saw his face up close. “I thought you weren’t coming.” He puckered his lips at you forgetting that there were other people in the room. “Taeyong, not now. They are watching.” An awkward laugh left your lips as the other just watched their leader being all sappy when earlier he was so serious trying to perfect the dance steps.

He pouted and took the paper bag in your hand. “You came with your car right? These look heavy.” “I took the train today.” You replied before going to greet the others. “Here, I bought drinks for everyone and some snacks.” You passed the drink carriers to Xiaojun who seemed extra happy that you were there.

You had met the other members except for Shotaro so you could recognise which one was him. The boys weren’t exactly close to you but they were accepting of your relationship with Taeyong and that’s enough to make you feel comfortable.

You were nervous but so was Shotaro, he didn't know who you were and suddenly everyone was around you talking and getting their favourite snacks from you. You walked up to him and saw how he smiled at you, unsure of what to say. “Hi, you’re Shotaro right?” He nodded shyly unfittingly for his tall figure.

You introduced yourself and passed him a different paper bag. “I bought Green Tea Latte and some cake for you. You like them right?” “Ah yes. Thank you.” He nodded again and took the paper bag from you. You couldn’t help but smile adoringly at him.

“How is he so adorable, Taeyong?” You turned to find your boyfriend but all eyes had been watching you since you secretly went to Shotaro. “How come he gets an obviously different drink then all of us?” Some were sipping their Iced Americano or Iced Peach Tea that you hastily bought. “I was in a hurry that’s why. Next time I’ll buy specific orders, alright guys?” You tilt your head innocently which they didn’t buy easily

“You weren’t in a hurry if you even got him a cake!” Doyoung said and the others nodded. You glared hard at Doyoung who obviously was up to fight you for your obvious favouritism. Taeyong was just there sipping his drink that you somehow remember and had no complaint about it. But your next words caught his full attention.

“Guys, you’re making Taro uncomfortable.” Taeyong had to make a double take at your words. “You’re giving him nicknames already? I’m leaving.” Taeyong pouted and walked to the doors, the other members were taunting and teasing how you’re done for.

You ran up to him and slung your arms around his. “Is someone jealous?” He looked at you and shamelessly nodded. You had the nerve to laugh at him and went to kiss his cheek. “Don’t be. You’re still my most favourite person.” A smile was slowly forming on his face as he turned back to the others with you.

“Well, that’s easy.” Lucas said when he saw both of you walking back to the circle they formed on the floor. “Of course, we love each other.” You said as a matter of fact which made the others gag and continue to eat as if they didn’t hear you say anything.

“I was planning on introducing Shotaro to you but you beat me to it.” He sighed as he rested his head on your shoulder, tired from dancing and practicing. “I’m sorry I was too excited that I can’t wait for you.” You patted his head. “I hope you like her Shotaro. She seems to adore you already.” Taeyong tiredly said to the younger boy.

Shotaro didn’t say anything and just smiled at both of you. “Just look at him. So cute.” You felt like pinching his cheeks or even hugging him but that would scare him. It was the first meeting after all and you don't want him to dislike you already even when you know he’s not capable of that.

Taeyong would be lying if he said he’s not slightly jealous at what’s happening in front of him. But seeing you smile and enjoying yourself around his members made him feel at ease. With the upcoming comeback, spending some time with his lover like this helped reduce his worries and stress from all the workload.

“Can you stay longer...just you and me later.” He whispered when the others were having a heated conversation among themselves. You took his hand and intertwined your fingers together.

“Of course. That’s why I’m here in the first place.” Both of you were already in your own world, sharing the events of each other's life when you suddenly asked him.

“When can I meet Sungchan?” He pulled away from you and groaned.

“When I say you can. Now let me hug you quietly.” Taeyong wrapped his arms around you as he listened to the other members talking and laughing.

Life may be hard at times but everyone he cared about were around him, especially you. And that was enough for him.

Pentagon headcanon: Pentagon as mall workers

a/n: I’ve always lowkey wanted to do some sort of mall series but never actually had a solid plot so we gonna just do this instead. and Seventeen will be mentioned bc I wanna do one for them and I want them all to work in the same mall and no one can stop me 😤

-

Lee Hoetaek

the manager at FYE

everyone calls him Hui though

really good at reading people and just kind of knowing what they’d like

but y’know he doesn’t wanna be creepy so he asks what kind of music they’re into

and then he can pull any album and know it’s perfect for you

you always go to him when you’re looking for new music

he’s also always up to recommend some new stuff you might not have listened to

knows the store inside and out

if you’re looking for a specific album, he knows exactly where to go

the friendliest dude ever

he loves that you ask him about music so he always gives you his discount

sometimes makes you mixtapes

but he got that idea from his co-worker, Hansol

-

Jo Jinho

assistant manager at Music Center

lowkey salty that the manager is Jihoon who’s way younger than him

but honestly together, the two run the store really smoothly

they do their best to help out the other employees who might not know as much

like Joshua, for example since he really only knows guitars

Jinho often sings to himself while he’s working but the customers lowkey love it

honestly you only go in there to listen to him sing

and because Josh flirts with you but that’s neither here nor there

one time you were looking at a keyboard so Jinho offered to ‘demo’ it for you

he’s so talented you don’t know why he’s not famous instead of just working in some music store

-

Yang Hongseok

works at GNC

flirts with pretty much everyone who walks through the door

but lowkey though

gives really good advice on how to stay fit and what things to use

knows everything about everything in that store

still wondering why he’s not manager

oh yeah it’s because Matthew is lmao

even though he’s more of a flirt, he does take his job seriously and is a genuinely sweet guy

one time after a bad day, he saw you sitting on the bench outside his store and he went and got you bubble tea from the place downstairs

you go to Hongseok when you’re stressed now and he’ll listen

-

Ko Shinwon

works at Gamestop

always laughs about how he’s glad he’s not the manager because all the workers get treated like garbo by 12 year old boys and their parents

so he teases Wonwoo for having to get the bulk of the trouble

gets yelled at for playing the game demos instead of working

takes too many breaks to go get food but then downs it all in the back room in like 3 minutes

tbh the only reason he hasn’t gotten fired is probably because they’re short staffed

but you like him because he plays the game demos with you

you think he’s funny and if he wasn’t there, Gamestop just wouldn’t be the same

-

Yeo Changgu

works at Build-A-Bear

does so well with the kids even when they’re bratty

you don’t go into the store because you’re embarrassed to but he sees you always staring at the Eevee Build-A-Bear and he’s waiting for the day you come in to make it

and yes he would absolutely make you do the heart ritual thing

and yes he would giggle at how red your face would get

he loves doing that to people his age when they come in

“can we skip the heart thing?” “absolutely not”

they get so embarrassed doing it and he lives for it

he takes his job seriously ok

-

Yanan

barista at Starbucks

might be the most handsome one there which makes his manager, Jeonghan lowkey salty

kinda slow when it comes to making drinks but nobody seems to care

how could you care?? look at him

whenever you go to get a drink from Starbucks and Yanan’s at the register, you always stutter and get blushy

but it’s fine because he always seem flustered talking to customers too

he usually doesn’t work register though

-

Adachi Yuto

works at Hot Topic

he likes it because the store just doesn’t give a shit about anything and hardly anyone goes in so he can just dick around with Wooseok all day

plus he gets a discount on all his goth clothing lmao

people will go in the store just to see him though

you sometimes go in there for shirts or for pop figures and stuff and he’s always really nice

quietly asks how you’re doing and if you need help finding anything to let him know

but he won’t ask Wooseok or Soonyoung to do their job

he’s not annoyed by it anyway so it’s fine

the only responsible worker there tbh

-

Kang Hyunggu

works at Bubble Bee

everyone calls him Kino

tbh half the reason anyone goes to get bubble tea is because of Kino

he’s just so smiley all the time and so sweet????

between him and his coworker, Seokmin, they really draw in a good amount of business

and y’know bubble tea is like a big trend now, so there’s that

makes the best taro bubble tea you’ll ever have in your life

one time he was working a shift alone and it got busy and he got your order wrong so now he always always always makes extra sure that it’s what you wanted

like he literally has you try it while you’re in front of him to make sure it’s good

send you off with the biggest smile and a “have a good day, _____!”

-

Jung Wooseok

works at Hot Topic

that one employee that does not give two shits about actually working

but he knows he’ll get away with it because as I said, Hot Topic does not give a frick

likes to change the music in the store to bubblegum jpop

Yuto lowkey likes it which is half the reason Wooseok does it

he’s always either fucking around at the counter with Yuto or giggling and fucking things up with Soonyoung in the back

if you ask him for help, he calls someone else over

literally does not do anything

you know well enough to not bother asking Wooseok for anything so he likes you

whenever you go up to the register, he calls to Yuto to give you his store discount and then says “keep up the good work” when you’re leaving

to this day, you have yet to ask him for assistance

Oumasai Week Prompt 6: Birthday

@oumasaiweek

I just had to write something for Kokichi’s birthday, too! Wanted to make it super soft and fluffy, ehehe, so as always: I do hope you all enjoy and thank you to all who do choose to read it! ❤

Today is Kokichi’s birthday. While he doesn’t expect most of his classmates-save for a handful of them-to really care that much, that was fine. Not only will he and DICE have a big party at their base much later tonight, but there was a certain someone he especially wanted to spend most of the day with before then: Shuichi. He expected to see him in class that morning, just like the others. He got a few birthday wishes here and there, which was nice, but he didn’t see Shuichi there. He huffs: of all days Shuichi doesn’t come to school, he dares does so on the day to worship the supreme leader. Demanding Kaede tells him where he’s at, she told him best guess is to check his dorm.

Not caring about staying in class any longer, Kokichi instantly starts making his way to the dormitory buildings, mumbling under his breath: “Saihara-chan’s got a lot of nerve not coming to school... “ Did he not want to see him? Kokichi tries not to think of the surely irrational thought, but it made him anxious over the possibility. He knows Shuichi wasn’t busy with a case at the moment, so he can’t think of any other reasons why he didn’t show up.

Meanwhile with Shuichi; he actually was in his dorm. The reason he didn’t show up to class was because he was organizing several of the presents he’s gotten for Kokichi. A sketch of Kokichi he drew himself, teabags of pretty expensive and rare flavors like red velvet and chocolate tea, dice block keychains… and then a special present he’ll want to surprise Kokichi with last. He knows he probably overdid it with the gifts, but for Kokichi; he felt it was worth it.

Albeit a bit nervous on how much he’ll actually love all this: the thought of Kokichi very happily accepting all of these gifts makes a big smile appear on Shuichi’s own face. He hasn’t told it to the other yet, but… he fell hard for him. The harmless lies, mischievous nature, and his rather silly and eccentric nature overall… what Shuichi would initially find taxing at times, grew to it being traits of Kokichi he grew fond of.

Kokichi also grew to love Shuichi, even if he was too scared to ever say that. Shuichi delighted him in so many ways. He can’t figure him out, can’t always expect the detective to say or do certain things… his reactions amuse him, he gets delighted when Shuichi even plays along with his antics at times. It made Kokichi become more and more intrigued by him overtime… and how he eventually comes to fall in love with him.

“Alright…” Shuichi mutters under his breath. “Everything can fit in here.” All his presents were fitted neatly inside of the colorful gift bag he bought. The special present will be nice and secure in one of his pockets, once he actually gets dressed. He had practically rolled out of bed to start organizing these gifts so he was still in his pajamas. A yawn leaving his lips, he stretches his arms. “Now to just find him and-?!”

The sudden sound of his door being knocked on made him jump in his seat. “Ah? Who is tha-”

“Saihara Shuichiii!”

“O-Oh…” He was honestly a bit worried it’d be Kokichi at the door, mostly because he hasn’t put the gift bag away yet. And because he made a yelp when he jumped, Kokichi knows he’s in there, so Shuichi can’t pretend he isn’t. “Uh, one moment! Let me just-!” Grabbing the gift bag, Shuichi scurries over to his bookbag and carefully places the gift bag inside before closing the bag back up.

Kokichi crosses his arms, impatiently tapping his foot while pouting. “I’ve come here to finally carry out my mission of assassinating you, and you dare tell me to wait?”

“Comiiing…!” He heads over to the door to open it. “G-Good morning, Ouma-kun. Sorry, I had to..do something for a second.”

Kokichi eyes the detective up and down. Bed hair, still in pajamas, still looking a bit sleepy… it couldn’t help but make Kokichi snicker. “Wow, you look like crap! Did you sleep past your alarm or something? How irresponsible! Nishishi!”

“S-Shush, you. I just haven’t gotten ready, is all. Just give me a minute and I’ll be-woah!”

“Coming through!” Before he could even finish, Kokichi invites himself in by ducking under Shuichi’s elbow and squeezing past him.

A sigh, Shuichi closes the door and looks towards him. “So um, did you need something..? I was going to come to class once I was dressed, you know..”

“Forget about class right now! If you want to live to see another day… you’re going to spend the entire day with me!” Kokichi declares with a point.

“Huh?” He gives a small tilt of the head. “What did you want to do…?”

“You’ll know when you know!” Meaning: Kokichi really didn’t have a set plan, either. He just wants to spend some time with Shuichi and exploring the different shops in the city with him. “And I won’t take no for an answer! U-Unless…” Kokichi lowers his head. “S-Saihara-chan will refuse and force me to get out. He was already so cruel as to try hiding away from me in his room, a-after all…” Voice sounding like it’s breaking, Kokichi looks up to him with watery eyes. It was just his usual crocodile tears act, but there was still that small genuine hint of worry Shuichi wouldn’t want to deal with him that long. He wanted to hear it from Shuichi himself he wants to spend time with him.

“Ah! H-Hold on, it’s not if I said ‘no’, did I? Just...give me a minute to get dressed and we can do whatever you have planned, okay?”

“.......” And in a flick of a switch, Kokichi was beaming. “Good! Don’t keep me waiting too long, now~!” He heads back over to the door. “I’ll get dressed in different clothes, myself. Meet me outside in the hallway once you’re done. Oh, and fyi: other colors than black do exist, emo!”

“O-Ohh, whatever!” Swatting his hand in the air, he rolls his eyes before chortling. Snickering, Kokichi exits the room and heads back to his own. He changes into more casual clothes: specifically a black shirt, short-sleeved Panta hoodie, white pants, and checkerboard patterned shoes. Along with this, he still kept on his scarf and wore a clear bookbag with his clothes, too. A nice and simple look, but he internally hopes Shuichi will like it, too.

Shuichi throws on a brown button up shirt and beige jacket, along with black pants, brown loafers, and his bookbag. Kokichi was already waiting outside in the hallway when Shuichi came out. For a second, he couldn’t help but stare. Shuichi looked nice in his regular clothes, but in casual wear… he found him even more attractive. Shuichi in turn couldn’t help but blush lightly at seeing Kokichi. He thought he honestly looks cute in his normal clothes as well, but especially so in his own casual outfit. “Hmm… so even Saihara-chan can look good in something other than black, huh?”

“I can’t tell if I should take that as a compliment or an insult… just kidding. T-Thank you. You look nice, yourself.”

The already light blush on Kokichi’s face grows a bit worse from that, quickly turning around. “Aww, you flatter me, so!” But then in a more genuine tone, he says: “Thanks! Now come on, off we go!” In his burst of excitement, he grabs Shuichi’s wrist and drags him outside. The walk to the main parts of the city was about 10 minutes, so it wouldn’t take too long to get down there. It gave Kokichi some time to think about where he wanted to bring Shuichi with him to, first.

“Hmm… I’m kind of hungry. Let’s go to a cafe first. I’ll order me a Monster Chocolate Volcano Parfait! It cost about  ¥4,000 and you’re gonna pay for it!” Kokichi declares excitedly.

“What? I highly doubt such a drink exists. ...Or even costs that much.”

“You’re right, that was a lie! Really though, let’s go to one! I have trusty intel that lets me aware of alll the good joints in town, you see.”

“I-I’m sure you do…” They continued to talk and joke around and whatnot until they reached the specific cafe Kokichi wanted to come to. “Ahh… Milk Bread Cafe? I think I came here before, one time…”

“Ohh? Good, then! I’m still ordering that Deluxe King Mocha Parfait that I mentioned before, by the way.”

“That’s not even the same dessert you mentioned!” A playful roll of the eyes as Kokichi laughs, they enter inside. The hostess brings them to a booth that was near the windows. It had a nice view of the street, people and cars going to and about their way. The two take their time browsing the menu to see what they’d like before their waitress comes over.

“Welcome to Milk Bread Cafe! I’m Yumi and I’ll be serving you today! Just so you know, we’re doing a Couples Discount today~! Everything on our specials section of the menu will be half-off!”

“C-Couples Discount? Oh, well, um-”

“We’ll do that!”

“!” Shuichi looks over to Kokichi in surprise. His cheeks turn red, surprised he actually went along with it. Though he figured: he was only just going for it solely for the discount, and hence why he’ll play along and nods his head. “Y-Yeah! Me and my ...b-boyfriend will do that, then.”

Even if Kokichi was the one who spoke up; still hearing the word ‘boyfriend’ out Shuichi’s mouth makes his heart bounce around in his chest a bit, masking it with a big smile on his face. “So we’ll do that! Give me theee… purple velvet cake slice with vanilla bean ice cream and taro milk tea!”

“And I will have the marble chocolate milk bread with an iced medium caramel macchiato, please.”

“Right away, sirs! I’ll put that order in riiight away and be out in a second with your drinks.”

A nod from them both, the waitress heads over to do that. Kokichi looks back at Shuichi, having an amused smile on his face. “I’m surprised you actually went along with it.”

“W-Well, yeah? I mean, it would’ve been awkward if I said ‘no’ after that..” That, and Shuichi wouldn’t exactly complain over the thought of them having been mistaken as a couple.

“Nishishi! Well, I would’ve had you executed if you called me out for it. So good…” Their drinks and food eventually came. Kokichi takes a bite out of his cake and ice cream, a smile practically beaming on his face from how delicious it was. “This tastes so good~!”

Shuichi didn’t eat his food yet, instead finding himself spacing out. That big, bright smile on Kokichi’s face… he found it so precious. It makes a small smile appear on his own face, giving a content sigh under his breath.

“I want to steal one of your bread slices, too, Saihara-cha…?” Now he noticed Shuichi staring at him. Being looked at with such a content smile on Shuichi’s face: it flustered him a bit. He had to wonder how one boy could just look so handsome without even trying. Before he’d also find himself being lost in his eyes, Kokichi waves a hand in front of Shuichi’s face. “Helloooo? Earth to Saihara-chan!”

“!” He quickly shakes his head to snap out of it. “O-Oh, uh: sorry, did you say something?”

“Pfft, don’t go spacing out, silly! Eat your stuff already or I will!”

“Ah, right. Not that I mind if you really want to have a slice… I doubt I could finish all this myself, anyways.” He chuckles, actually just placing two slices of his bread on Kokichi’s plate before trying one, himself. “Ohh… this is really good! I love milk bread…”

Kokichi also tries one, nodding in agreement. “Yeah! Since you shared some of your stuff, I gueesss I can be nice to you for once and let you try a piece of my cake.” Now he simply would’ve just cut a piece with his knife, but to be a tease… he breaks off a piece of the cake with his fork and hovers said piece to Shuichi’s mouth. “Say ‘ahh’~!”

“H-Huh??” Shuichi blinks. “Wha, c-come on, that’s embarrassing… …..”

“Nishishi!” Snickering, Kokichi knew he was going to get that kind of reaction, and was about to bring his fork back when…

“....Ahh…” Shuichi leans in a bit to actually eat the piece. Flustered as he was for actually doing that, he mutters: “...I-It’s good…”

“..........” Kokichi didn’t say anything, save for a more noticeable blush on his face appearing. Bringing his fork back over to his plate, he gives a disinterested sigh. “...I knew you were super cheesy like that, but wow.” He scoffs, mostly to distract that he also felt pretty embarrassed.

“E-Eheheh...that’s what you get f-for trying to tease me.” It really did feel like they were a cute couple on a date. Shuichi would feel far too shy to even say it jokingly, but just thinking about it that way was making their little trip to this cafe even more enjoyable for him. For the rest of their meal, they chatted a little but ate silently for the most part. With Shuichi paying for them both and Kokichi at least wanting to leave a tip, they were off.

“Alrighty! Next, we’re going to go tooo… oh!” There’s a glint in his eyes. “One of my favorite shops!” He looks up at Shuichi, smiling mischievously while holding a finger up to his lips. “Only the bravest of souls can survive there.... Even for me, it was quite a challenge to overthrow the former leader of that place. I wonder if Saihara-chan will be able to live to see the light, afterwards…”

“I’m not sure if I even want to guess what kind of shop you’re talking about, now…”

Responding with only a snicker, Kokichi gestures him to follow him. A couple of streets later and they were in front of said shop Kokichi was talking about: a novelty shop that primarily sold props and items for pranks and tricks. It was no surprise he is a regular there, even being pretty good friends with the owner. They both enter inside, the shop being a small one with lively music playing in the background. Shelves and bins were filled to the brim with prank items like airhorns, firecrackers, fake mice/snakes/insects/etc., silly string, and much more. “Aaand here we are! Isn’t it perfect?!”

“A… shop that sells prank items. Oh my god… it really is perfect for you.” He remarks jokingly, curiously viewing around. “I’m guessing this is where you get most of your stuff for pranks…?”

“Yup! I need to restock on more. Maybeee…” He looks towards the firecrackers. “I put those in a pot and set it near Momota-chan on his bed while he’s asleep...then set it off and scare the shit out of him! Orrr…”  He directs his attention to a fake rat. “I hide this in Amami-chan’s locker and maybe this time, I’ll get an actual yelp out of him!”

“...Okay, I admit: sometimes it’s honestly funny whenever Momota-kun gets startled. So imagining someone like Amami-kun letting out a scream i-is kind of… p-pfft…”

The smile on Kokichi’s face widens. “Whaaat? Is Saihara-chan actually encouraging me to prank someone? I knew our super serious detective had a mischievous side~!”

“I-It’s not like that! Hahaha…!” He couldn’t even say that without his voice breaking before he started laughing. “Listen, if you buy that and try getting them with it, I take no shared responsibility for the consequences!”

“Ohh yes you will! It’s what you get for showing me your secret dark side, detective!” He declares in anything but a serious tone. Really though, he was super delighted whenever Shuichi jokes around with him like this. He didn’t act as stiff or serious as he normally would with things like this… or in general, really. Kokichi normally did not let others try to become close with him and yet… seeing how Shuichi gradually acts more casual and relaxed around him: it was such a wonderful feeling.

Grabbing two of those items he mentioned, Kokichi heads over to the counter, where the owner of the shop greets him. “Hey, Kokichi-san and friend! I see you got some stuff? Going to acquire more prank victims, hm?”

Shuichi gives a small ‘hello’ in response, while Kokichi gives a much more livelier: “Namoru-chan! Nishishi, you’ve got that right!”

“Nice. Oh, we actually got some new stuff in that I’m sure you’ll love.” And what turned from Kokichi simply buying two things instead turned into him buying almost 10 things, carrying two bags worth of pranking material.

“Good ol’ Namoru-chan always has the deets!” Glitter bombs, shock pens, airhorns, fake snakes… just a variety of different things he could utilize for any prank victim of his choice. This will especially come in handy when he and DICE really go crazy on the weekend and pull off as many pranks as they can.

“I-I can see that. Hahaha, Ouma-kun really does have his own dealer. But with pranks…”

“Mmmhm! By the way… you’re the only one I’ve shown this shop to. Don’t go telling anyone else, okay? Else I’ll subject you to Deep Web level torture!”

“Your secret is safe with me.” Which sounded sarcastic, but Shuichi really will keep it a secret. In a way, he felt a bit flattered he was the first person Kokichi wanted to bring to his favorite shop.

From there, Kokichi continued to drag Shuichi to several different shops. They window shopped in a few places, browsed the mall and popped into a few stores like a candy store and video game shop, and then Shuichi treated him to one of his favorite ramen joints once they became hungry again. All the while, the two continued to have nothing but fun together. His birthday was going so wonderfully, even he had to wonder how it could become any better.

Over the course of their activities, evening soon came. Having walked around all day and gone to several different places; the boys were pretty tuckered out, but didn’t want to part ways just yet. In fact: there was one more place Shuichi wanted to bring him. “...Hey, Ouma-kun?” Shuichi speaks up. “I want to bring you to one last place...is that okay?”

“Hmm?” Kokichi gives a curious tilt of the head. “Where to?”

“Yoyogi Park. The bus that leads there is just around the corner. Just to relax for a minute and… to show you something specifically there. Ah, but it’s a surprise.” He smiles, playing giving the gesture of placing a finger against his lips.

“A surprise, huh…?” Further intrigued, he gives a nod. “Alright, then let’s go. It better not be a boring surprise, Saihara-chan… but that’s a lie! Even I have high expectations you’ll impress me. Be honored!”

“Ah, I absolutely am. Though, I really hope you will like it…” There was slight uncertainty in his voice, but Shuichi told himself it will be okay. A short bus ride later, they were at the park. Shuichi loved to come here, as no matter what time of the day, it always seemed so quiet and peaceful. The view of the trees and ponds as one walks alongside the path was very beautiful. Shuichi often liked to take a stroll through it on foot or on his bike a lot of the time.

Gesturing Kokichi to just follow him, their walk was mostly in silence; but, the comforting kind of silence where it didn’t feel awkward if they weren’t saying anything. Kokichi may not seem like the type, but even he found parks nice to walk through every once in a while. It made him wonder even more where in this park that Shuichi wanted to show him as a surprise. After walking on the path for a while, Shuichi would start walking off it and towards the areas with lots more trees. “Just a little further…” He tells him. It wasn’t exactly easy to traverse past all the trees with no clear path, and it could be easy to get lost if you strayed off the path even just a little: but thankfully Shuichi knew exactly where he was going. After several minutes, the two would finally make it out of the secret path. Going through two big bushes, they were finally at the area Shuichi wanted to show him. “Well...here we are!”

“....!” What Kokichi was greeted with was a small garden area surrounded by bushes and shrubs. Petals of jasmine flowers from the shrubs they grew on litter parts of the ground. In the middle of the area is a fountain, with two benches on the left and right of it. Kokichi had never seen this area of the park before, so he was mesmerized. “Wooow…. Is this Saihara-chan’s secret base where he conducts shady deals with clients? I like it!”

“Very funny. But, ah…! Y-You do?” Relief washes over him, along with a bright smile appearing on his face. “I’m so glad…! I found this area a long time ago. It’s...pretty out of the way, as you now know, but… it’s so pretty, it’s worth it. I like to come here at times to relax, read, study… and whenever I just need to get away from it all and clear my head, coming here always helps. I haven’t shown anyone else this area before, so… I wanted you to be the first.” He admits with a soft chuckle, blushing lightly as he bashfully rubs the back of his head.

“....Me?” He feels his heart leap in his chest. He could tell it was a pretty special spot to Shuichi, so it made him far happier than he even realized that Shuichi trusted him enough to want to bring him here. Blushing, Kokichi darted his eyes away. “S-Saihara-chan’s being super cheesy again…”

“Ahaha… anyways, come over here…” Shuichi gestures him to sit at the bench with him. They put several of the bags from their multiple shopping trips down on the ground before Shuichi takes off his bookbag and opens it. It was finally time to give him the presents he had gotten him. He takes out the gift bag. “I know it’s awfully late to actually say it, but… Happy Birthday, Ouma-kun!” He holds the gift bag out to him. “This was why I didn’t show up to class this morning: I wanted to organize the presents I’ve gotten for you.”

“Oh…?” Kokichi accepts the gift bag. “I see, I see… so it wasn’t Saihara-chan trying to avoid me to escape being assassinated, after all…” He looks up to him, beaming. “Thanks! Let’s seeee…” Kokichi first takes out the dice block keychains. “Ohh! I’ve been needing to spruce up my keyring with new stuff!” Then he takes out the dessert teabags. “Chocolate and red velvet tea! The perfect tea to have at the round table with my most trusted generals…” He jokes with a snicker. He was loving each present so far, already. He then takes out the sketch Shuichi made of him. He was doing a goofy smile while doing peace signs with both hands, as if posing for a picture. It was light-hearted and cute, yet well drawn. He even drew him with his hat and cape on. “Ah….”

“D-Do you like it? No lie, I had fun drawing that, eheheh… I thought to myself: ‘What really captures Ouma-kun?’ And so...yeah!”

“......” He could feel his heart thumping harder in his chest and his face heating up worse. Yet, he couldn’t stop a genuinely happy smile from spreading across his face and gives Shuichi’s nose a playful poke. “Nerd! You forgot my super menacing supervillain chair and flying car, so it sucks… just kidding! I love it!”

The poke to his nose makes him giggle. Though hearing he loves the drawing, and overall all the gifts: it made much more worth it to have gotten him it. “I’m happy that you do…! But there’s...one more. One more th-that...I wanted to save for last.”

“?”

Shuichi exhales softly to try mentally keeping himself calm. From his pocket, he pulls out a small box. Inside would contain the special gift: a silver sterling bracelet. Being made of real silver, it was definitely expensive. It had a design of a crown on it, but not only that: Shuichi had this bracelet personally customized. In the middle of it, ‘Kokichi Ouma’ was engraved. He opens the box and takes the bracelet out. “Let me have your wrist for a moment…” Shuichi carefully places the bracelet around Kokichi’s wrist. “S-So what do you think?”

Kokichi does not say anything. The expression on his face is unreadable as he twists his wrist around to get a full look of the bracelet. Even just by looking at it, he knew it was not cheap. The tiny crown on it was a very nice touch, he thought. And then seeing it had his name on it… that Shuichi went that extra mile to make it even more personal and special to Kokichi… “......” He could not even come up with a mocking or teasing jab right away. He was touched. “I….I….” He utters softly: “I love it, Saihara-chan…”

Kokichi’s straightforward response surprised him, but made his heart swell up with happiness. “I’m glad… I wanted to save the best for last, haha.” Then there is a pause. This would be the perfect time, Shuichi tells himself: the perfect time to confess. The thought of doing so makes him extremely nervous, but he told himself to just get it over with. He didn’t want to keep holding it in. Shuichi speaks up with again with: “O….Ouma-kun?”

“Hmm? Got another surprise for me? Oh! Is it that you’ll fiiinally join my organization?”

“N-Not exactly. Um...a-ah…” Another exhale. He didn’t want to clam up right now: he wouldn’t allow himself to. He hesitates for a second, but… Shuichi would go to cup one of Kokichi’s hands in his own. “I just wanted to say that… I hope you had a lot of fun today. I most certainly did, anyway. Ouma-kun...deserves to have a nice birthday, after all. You always deserve to feel happy. You have such a… nice, genuine smile. And to be able to see that for myself multiple times today; I loved it. It was, um: w-why I was distracted staring at you in the cafe, honestly.” He chuckled shyly. “You’re...really cute.”

Kokichi’s heart leaped in his chest when Shuichi cupped his hand. He silently stared at him as Shuichi went on. Always deserves to be happy ... His genuine smile is adoring… to the point that even Shuichi found himself lost in it… were words he never believed anyone would tell him, before. Being called cute didn’t help the only worsening blush on his cheeks, either. He would slowly come to intertwine his fingers with Shuichi’s. “...Is Saihara-chan tr...trying to imply something?” His gaze softens, but there is still that hint of anxiousness in his eyes.

“I-I’m guessing it’s a bit more obvious by now, but…” He gives his hand a soft squeeze. He takes another second to just keep himself calm. Shuichi didn’t want to stammer at all once he finally says it. He looks towards Kokichi once more. “Ou… Kokichi.” Shuichi goes to cup his other hand. His thumb rubs the back of Kokichi’s palm gently. And that nervous look on his face… softens to a warm look in his eyes and a loving smile. “...I love you.”

Kokichi’s mouth is slightly agape. His eyes slowly widen and for a second, he gives Shuichi’s hand a tight squeeze. Did he hear that right, he wonders? Did he really hear Shuichi say just now that he loves him? “..........” Eyes lower to his lap. “...You better not be teasing me, Saihara-chan. Even to a liar like me, that’s a really cruel thing to lie about.” He doesn’t say it as if doubting Shuichi’s words: but rather, his anxiety making him believe such a worst case scenario could even happen.

“I am not. I would never be as heartless as to joke about this. I really do love you, Kokichi. For a long time, I have.”

Kokichi slowly looks back up at him. The way he says that, and the way he smiles at him: he knew for an absolute fact Shuichi meant every word he said. “A...Ah… pffft! Hahahaha!”

“Uh?” Shuichi was caught off guard when he suddenly started laughing. “Wh-What’s so funny?”

“N...Nothing, just: pffttt! Here I thought it’d be impossible for someone like Saihara-chan… to ever feel that way about me! He has a lot of friends… probably has other people crushing on him… then I find out he loves me! Has this been just a super long and incredibly realistic dream? Hahaha…!” Tears were streaming down his cheeks. But not from laughing so hard…. “Ha...a-ah…” His laughter dies down and he goes silent again. Sniffling, he wipes away the tears. At first, he didn’t know why he was suddenly doing so, but now he guessed it: he was just that happy. So overwhelmed from happiness; he couldn’t control the tears streaming down his cheeks.

“H...Hey. You okay? …Oh!” Next thing he knew, Shuichi was pulled into a tight hug. “K….Kokichi?”

Kokichi buries his face in Shuichi’s chest. Quiet sniffles leave him as he wipes more tears away, needing a moment to try readjusting himself. Shuichi feels warm in his hold… he didn’t want to let go. Once he felt he was okay enough to finally talk coherently, he looks up to Shuichi. “My beloved made me so happy just now, even I was at a loss for words… no fair! Pulling that kind of sneak attack on me!” He giggles, but then his voice softens again. “I guess you deserve a response. I…” He almost looked away from him, but forced himself to sit back up for a moment so he could look clearly at Shuichi. “....I love you, too, Sh...Shuichi. Just like how I stole your heart, you stole mine, so… you’ll have to take responsibility, mister!” He declares comically before quickly burying his face back in Shuichi’s chest. The smile that now adorned his face: Kokichi couldn’t remember the last time he was ever this happy. This was not what he expected to happen on his birthday… or at all, really. For once, just once: he was so happy to have been proven wrong.

“Kokichi…!” His initial reaction had him really scared he would regret confessing, but now hearing Kokichi in turn loves him.. In a burst of extreme happiness, Shuichi gives him a tight squeeze in the hug and pulls him even closer against him. His face is slightly buried in Kokichi’s hair, giggling in it. “Ah, I’m so...so happy right now, I-I… I was honestly so scared you maybe wouldn’t feel the same, you know…?”

“Yeah… if I had bad taste! Which I clearly don’t!” He snuggles up against him and nuzzles his head against his chest before eventually looking up at him. “To want to show me a special place of yours and confess to me, on my birthday, no less… what cheesy shoujo manga inspired you, huh? Nishishi!”

“H-Hey! I’m not hearing any complaining either way, am I?” He remarks while playfully poking Kokichi’s cheek, which makes the both of them start laughing. “So I… g-guess that makes you my boyfriend now, huh? Ahh…” Just even being able to say the word ‘boyfriend’ in regards to Kokichi makes him feel warm inside. “....Kokichi?” Shuichi goes to gently cup Kokichi’s cheek, gently stroking it. He leans in closer to his face before he softly mutters: “M...May I…?” Gazing at his lips for a second, it was apparent what he was hinting at.

“I-Idiot, you don’t need permission to kiss your b...boyfriend.” Which was his roundabout way of saying yes, he was more than okay with it. Kissing Shuichi was something he’s wanted to do for a long time.

Shuichi’s eyes slowly come to a close as he leans in closer. His lips softly press against the other’s, a soft sigh emitting from him. In turn, Kokichi also closes his eyes and leans more into the kiss. His heart was fluttering. Shuichi’s lips felt nice and soft to him… he wanted to bask in this as much as he could. Once they pulled away, Kokichi wraps his arms around his neck and… makes them both fall down. A surprised yelp leaving Shuichi in response, he was now laying on his back with Kokichi on top of him. “Ah...a-ahaha! Geez…” He quickly goes to wrap his arms around him, again. They softly nuzzle their foreheads together while getting lost in each other’s eyes. The look Shuichi gives him is filled with so much adoration and love. Kokichi gives him a similar look, bringing a hand up to stroke Shuichi’s hair. It felt soft and smooth as he combs his fingers through it.

“Shuichi always looks so attractive… it should be illegal. But, he’s mine now, so! I can have my beloved Shumai all to myself… and I’m not sharing!”

“Hehe… y-yes, Kokichi. I don’t want to share you, either. I’m all yours… and only yours. Once more, I love you… and Happy Birthday.”

With that, Kokichi leans in to initiate the kiss this time. A longer, more loving and passionate kiss. He’d joke about it, but: being able to do cheesy, lovey-dovey things with Shuichi from now on… he was looking forward to it. He was going to make sure to be a wonderful boyfriend for Shuichi, make him happy as he can… and in turn, Shuichi will absolutely do the same.

Fight Fire with Fire

Fight Fire with Fire

- Sana Focus

Word Count: 1851

“Hey Sana, are you sure you should be hanging out with us instead of (Y/N)? Isn’t he home alone right now? You should go home.” Jeongyeon suggested as she popped a grape into her mouth.

“I mean, he is your significant other right? So perhaps you should spend more time with him instead of us, after all, we’re with each other for the remainder of the time anyways.” Nayeon added.

“He does look pretty tired and sad these days, go cheer him up! Go! Go!” Jeongyeon pointed out.

“I agree, please go Sana! My legs are feeling numb now. I’m starting to lose sensation…” Momo cried out.

Sana bounced up and down on Momo’s lap, shaking the entire couch as she did so. The four of them were watching TV, and eating fruits together.

“(Y/N) is fine at home! Plus, if he’s tired, he should just get more rest, if I go home, I might disturb his rest. Plus… Momo’s thighs are comfy. Hehehe.” Sana commented as she continued to lightly bounce on Momo’s lap.

“What if he’s sad and tired because he misses you so much, since, ahem, you’re like never home these days! Sheesh.” Jeongyeon questioned.

“But… but… I love you guys...” Sana whimpered, giving her members her puppy dog face.

Jeongyeon sighed deeply, Nayeon threw her head backwards and shut her eyes, while Momo tried to slowly move Sana off of her lap without her noticing. But, of course, Sana noticed, and threw herself backwards, repositioning herself on Momo.

“Oof! Jeez, give me a warning first, would you? Fine, you can sit, no more bouncing though.” Momo said, finally giving up, and wrapping her arms around Sana’s waist. Jeongyeon grins at the scene and gets up to go to the kitchen, she pulled out her phone and began texting away.

“Hey (Y/N), Nayeon and I tried to get her to go home, but she just claims that she’d be disturbing you. She’s literally throwing herself at Momo right now. Sorry, we weren’t much help.” Jeongyeon texted to you.

“That’s alright, I expected as much, maybe I’ll just wait it out. I don’t even know where she got that notion from, but hey, what can you do? Sana’s extremely hard to peel off of someone, especially Momo.” You texted back.

“You talking to (Y/N)?” Nayeon asked, joining Jeongyeon in the kitchen.

“Yeah, I told him we couldn’t do anything.”

“Hm… maybe we can do something. Maybe we just need a different approach to this problem.”

“What are you suggesting Nayeon?”

“Well, (Y/N) is sad because Sana doesn’t spend a lot of time with him right now right? So if we get someone else to metaphorically replace Sana… then…”

“Then Sana will get jealous and go back to him! You’re a genius!”

“Shhh, keep it down, we don’t want Sana to hear. Now we just need someone to replace her… she has to resemble Sana, meaning she has to be over affectionate.”

“I think I have someone in mind for that role.” Jeongyeon concluded. The two of them returned to the living room where Momo finally got some peace since Sana went to use the washroom.

“Hey Momo, just wondering, but when was the last time you had jokbal?” Jeongyeon asked.

“Hm, let me think… 1 month, 2 weeks, 14 hours, 6 minutes, and 3 seconds. 4 now.” Momo replied.

“Wow, really? You kept track? Down to seconds?” Nayeon said, astonished.

“Nah, I’m just kidding, I haven’t had it in a long time. I’m always craving for it though. What’s up?”

“Well…” Jeongyeon began.

That night, Jeongyeon and Nayeon ultimately came up with a plan to solve your little problem. They managed to convince Momo to be overly affectionate with you whenever Sana was around by bribing her with an undisclosed amount of jokbal. You could only guess. Their plan was to make Sana jealous, so jealous, to the point that Sana would come back to you. Jeongyeon and Nayeon then planned out the next step, they planned out a whole day at the mall where you would all shop together and eat together. The only thing left to do, was to put the plan into motion.

“Hey girls!” You shouted, waving at them from afar as you met up with the four of them at the entrance. They waved back at you as you ran towards them.

During the morning, the five of you walked around the mall, strolling into and out of clothing stores as you accompanied the girls and gave them comments on their chosen outfits. During the middle of this segment, Jeongyeon and Nayeon initiated the plan, giving the signal for Momo to start.

“Hey (Y/N)? I feel kind of bad for you, since you have to carry all of our clothes, here, let me help you out.” Momo said as she ran to join you, leaving Sana with Jeongyeon and Nayeon. Momo grabbed one strap of the bag as you held the other, and the two of you walked in sync with each other. Strangers would think that you two were a couple. Sana didn’t really care though as she wrapped her arms around Jeongyeon and Nayeon. You and Momo talked to each other while Nayeon and Jeongyeon tried to get Sana’s attention to focus on you and Momo.

“Hey, you two, are you guys getting hungry? We’re a bit hungry back here! Wanna grab something small, then continue?” Nayeon yelled towards you and Momo.

“Yeah, sure, I can go for a little bit of food right now.” You responded.

“I’m always down for food.” Momo said fiercely, which got you to laugh.

The five of you split up, Sana with Jeongyeon and Nayeon, and you with Momo. While they grabbed some shaved ice, you and Momo opted for some bubble tea. The five of you regrouped once everyone got what they had ordered.

“What flavor is that, Momo?” Jeongyeon asked, trying to urge Sana to get a sip from your drink.

“It’s taro! Wanna try some, Jeongyeon?” Momo replied happily as she handed her drink over.

“Me first!” Sana swiped the drink before Jeongyeon could get her hands on it. Jeongyeon drooped her head and gave you a shrug. You smiled and whispered that it was a good try. Nayeon sighed along with Jeongyeon and continued to finish her shaved ice.

“Well, we have a few more hours to kill before dinner comes around so… what else do we need? I think we bought everything this morning… maybe we’ll look around for a sale or something?” Nayeon asked everyone.

“Wait! (Y/N) didn’t buy anything yet! We should probably get him something since he’s been holding our bags the entire time.” Momo suggested.

“That’s alright, we don’t have to go look for something specifically for me. I really don’t mind helping you guys out.” You politely said.

“No, Momo’s right. Let’s go find you a dashing outfit hm?” Jeongyeon beamed towards you. You smiled and agreed. The girls all chimed in for ideas as they whispered to one another in the front while Momo accompanied you in the back.

“I think they’ll take three times the amount of time to pick out your outfit. Looks like we’ll stay here for quite a while… sigh…” Momo said.

“Or…” You slowly suggested.

“Or I could take you and ditch them…” Momo finished with a mischievous look on her face.

“Then we’ll finish much quicker and…”

“And then we can go eat dinner!” Momo exclaimed. The two of you nodded in sync and slowly departed away from the group as the girls were too busy discussing to notice the two of you sneaking away. You texted Jeongyeon about what you and Momo were up to, just so they would have an idea of where you guys were. Over the next few hours, you and Momo went from store to store, checking out the newest trends and clothes. In the end, you didn’t buy anything but Momo did pick out a few simple outfits for you. Momo told Nayeon and Jeongyeon that you guys would meet them at home.

“There you guys are! Where were you guys? Jeongyeon and Nayeon said they had no idea either but also said to not worry…” Sana said, annoyed.

“Why are you so worried Sana? I just went to go look around the mall with Momo. We didn’t find anything that I really liked though, but that’s alright.” You replied casually, as you settled onto the couch.

“What are we eating? I’m starving!” Momo left the two of you alone and crept into the kitchen where Nayeon and Jeongyeon were secretly watching you and Sana from.

“How was spending the day with Momo?” Sana said with a little pout as she sat on the edge of the couch, folding her arms.

“It was good. I actually have a lot in common with her, we got along really well.” You replied, winking back at Nayeon and the others as they gave you a thumbs up.

“Oh. Is that so?” Sana said without looking at you.

“Mhm. How was your-” You got interrupted before you could finish your sentence as Momo wrapped her arms around you from the side as she plopped down onto the couch beside you. Sana was so shocked that she didn’t move a muscle and could only watch.

“Momo, what are you doing?” You asked, also confused.

“You looked so sad and tired, I thought you could use a nice hug.” Momo smiled.

“Momo…” Sana slowly said, as she inched closer towards you. Sana suddenly wrapped her arms around your neck and pulled you hard towards her. Momo didn’t back down, she also began to pull you towards her. Neither of them backed down as you could feel their strength increasing from both sides.

“What is going on here?” Jihyo asked as she walked into the room.

“Momo won’t give me my boyfriend!” Sana yelled.

“Errr… well, Jeongyeon and Nayeon won’t give me my jokbal!” Momo blurted out.

“What? Jeongyeon? Nayeon? Jokbal? Huh… I see what’s going on. Momo, release (Y/N), I’ll get you your jokbal, would you please kindly point me towards Jeongyeon and Nayeon?” Jihyo asked sweetly with a smile. Momo immediately let go of you and you fell into Sana’s arms where she grinned and held your head close to her chest. Then Momo pointed towards the kitchen. Jihyo thanked Momo politely, approached the kitchen, and then the screams began.

“Sorry Sana…” Momo said, giving her a hug.

“It’s okay Momo I kind of knew what you guys were up to. Do you mind if I talk to (Y/N) for a bit?” Sana ruffled Momo’s head. Momo nodded and left the room.

“So where were we?” Sana continued.

“I was going to say, how was your day-”

“Terrible.”

“Why’s that?”

“You know exactly why.” Sana said as she hugged you tighter. You chuckled out loud a little before you closed your eyes and rested on Sana. Meanwhile, the screams continued for at least another hour before everything quieted down.
