#first kadoguda attempt send help lmao

[mako-neexu]

カドぐだ | mystic code.

“...I’m honestly not going to say anything anymore, to be honest.” Kadoc bluntly says after giving Fujimaru a dead-pan stare.

The Master laughs, bringing her sunglasses down to her eyes as the snowstorm only grew stronger. “Suit yourself, Senpai.” She aims at another soldier, gandr sparked and gathered at her fingertip before shooting point-blank at the enemy. “But it’s Arts season and there’s no way I’m missing another chance to strengthen this mystic code.”

Kadoc regrets the fact that he didn’t take a few tablets of painkillers today to deal with his kouhai’s insane bullshit.

Honestly, Hinako- Yu Mei-ren should be dealing with her! Not him!

He clicks his tongue loudly before wrapping an arm around the girl’s waist (don’tlookdown,don’tlookdown,don’tlookdown-!) to fling them away from the explosion of an attack that were aimed at them seconds prior.

Before he could berate Ritsuka further, her smirk turned into a wolfish grin as she brought her communicator up and opened the battle sequence. “Give us an all-out attack, guys!” She shouted over to the Servants before sending her instructions to them.

Xu Fu held down the giant hydra with her arts- Pope Johanna then prayed for her allies-

Then, Ryouma and Oryo finally dealt the finishing blow.

“Yeah, yeah! You guys are the bes-AGHK!?” Kadoc barely had time to react before he covered this stupid Master with his body, shielding her from the impact of the dragon’s blow.

Ghhh---!!! This is the worst! Pressed up against her while she wears nearly next to nothing---!!! He was seriously going to put on that damn collar again if it meant that she avoid doing unpredictable and crazy shit like this again!

Kadoc chalked his blush up to the cold of the environment and looked anywhere but Fujimaru before him.

When everything had finally settled, including the storm that raged earlier, he sighed in relief. Dear god. He would never ever get used to being in constant danger with mythical beasts.

Warmth- a hand cups his cheek.

“Thanks for supporting me back there, Kadoc-kun.”

He saw a smile from the corner of his eyes. Unable to resist, he half-heartedly glared up at Ritsuka. But the pink that spread across his face deepened. He merely rolled his eyes in response before pulling on her cheek with his gloved hand, “You seriously have to learn defensive magic that protects your body after this.”

“Oh? So you won’t tell me to stop using this mystic code instead, hm?” Her cheeky smile combined with the fact that she leaned in close to him, her warm hand now pulling his face closer-

“Wha-!?” Kadoc scrambled to pull away but was stopped by Fujimaru clinging onto him like damn koala-!!!

“Nooo!!! It’s cold! Don’t leave! I want to hide inside your jacket!”

“Then, I’ll take it off for you! Just let go!” He tried to pry her off of him, but she only clung to him tighter and buried her face in his neck.

“I don’t want that either!” She whined. Upon looking down at this stupid kouhai of his, he Kadoc realized his mistake.

He willed all the powers of the Zemlupus family to fucking calm his blush down lest his face turns into the same shade as Tristan’s hair. This idiot below him basically wanted him to hold her on the way back to the Border. Great.

Sighing, he sat them down with Ritsuka on his lap to avoid getting burnt by the cold ground on the snow before unbuttoning his coat. “Wha- What are you doing?” She asked, bewildered.

He cocked an eyebrow at her, “Uh, getting us ready to go back?”

Ritsuka cutely pouted- ugh, he was going to give up on himself as well at this point. 

It didn’t take him long to rid himself of the clothing before draping it aorund the girl’s body. He took his gloves off as well and gave it to her. “Hey, it was just a joke. You don’t have to do this y’know? The mystic code wards off most of the intense temperatures. So I’m not really affected at all.”

Keyword: most.

Years of being a mage forced to play a death game taught him to be perceptive no matter how light or extreme the situation is. And he certainly didn’t miss the slight chatter to her words whenever she spoke.

Kadoc sighed as he closed the jacket around the girl before making sure his gloves were secured around her hands. “I’m doing this because I want to.”

Looking back up to see her be the one to blush has him averting his eyes and clambering for words to follow up on that confession. “A-And that you’re seriously in for a lecture on magic later.”

Her response was a soft smile that made his heart skip a beat. “Okay.”

Kadoc dies as soon as they reached the command room when Ritsuka kisses his cheek with a flirty ‘thanks Kadoc-kun’ before running off to skip on class.
