#i want to marry thoma frfr

[descendantofthesparrow]

Idk why but seeing Uma again in the teaser made me sad 😭

She’s gonna be all alone! She won’t have her boys with her!

frfr, i know China only has a small part(her words), so Uma being in Ror is more of a 'passing of the torch' than anything else, but her boys arent there!!!! istg if there ain't a ring on Uma's left ring finger imma riot because if fucking Mal and Ben can get married after....1-4 years(timelines fucked up), Harry can damn well propose to Uma at the very least since they've been practically dating sine they met(at least in harrys brain lol) i bet the boys, Thomas and Dylan, were asked-but they most likely said no, Thomas being busy with...everything and Dylan has his own life of course, i bet all the of OG cast were asked if they'd like to return and depending on who said yes or no, the script was written around that-i can EASILY bet if D*ve wanted to be involved, she would've, but she doesn't want to act as Mal anymore and honestly whatevs, good for her, its been high time this series ended and it should've ended with D3, much less the royal wedding which wasnt necessary.

✧

The stem of the dandelion Thoma gave you is the first thing you see every morning. You set it on your nightstand so you can start your day in a good mood.

You haven't seen Thoma since that night, partially because you both are very busy people, and partially because you're not sure how to talk to him anymore. Things were easy when you hated him, but you aren't so sure you hate him anymore...

Dare you say, you like him?

Ignoring your feelings, you start your day off as normal, by opening your shop. You unlock the register, counting your money as you usually do, and restock your items so you were ready for the day.

Anticipating a busy day, since it was a Friday, you made sure there were no distractions. That means no thoughts of Thoma taking your hand, or thoughts of Thoma gazing at your with such admiration, or thoughts of Thoma risking his job just for you, no. No thoughts what-so-ever.

Inazuma City starts to pile with people as the day went on, some people even gushing over how cute you and Thoma are. It was usually older ladies, and since this wasn't the largest town, word got around fast.

A guilty pit in your stomach resided every time someone brought the two of you up. You smiled and laughed with the older ladies, but deep down, you felt awful. Though you weren't sure if it was because you knew the relationship wasn't real, or because Thoma didn't actually like you. You knew the sham was just to get Kamisato Ayato off his back. Thoma was just using you, as you were him.

You couldn't be mad. It was your idea.

"Hey there!" A familiar chirpy voice rang through your ears, causing you to freeze up.

"T-Thoma?!" You stare dumbfounded at him. You haven't mentally prepared to see him today, and his schedule is usually packed on Fridays.

"Well hello too." He chuckles, leaning on the register. "I'm actually here on business, believe it or not."

You gulp nervously, mentally punching yourself for acting so weird in front of him. "Business you say? Are the Kamisatos requesting something from my shop?"

He nods in response. "Yes, but don't worry, I won't haggle you down this time."

"What? Because you're my 'boyfriend'?" You tease.

"Precisely." He smiles, winking at you.

You usually never succumbed to Thoma's teasing, but recently, it's been harder to keep a straight face. You felt your cheeks burn as he said that to you.

"Well, as your partner, I would feel bad giving this full price."

"Oh come on, Y/N." Thoma lowers his voice so only you could hear it. "You don't actually have to do that for me."

You shake your head. "Yes I do. If not as a partner, then as my... Friend?" You felt stupid to be wary of calling Thoma your friend, but you really didn't know if he saw you as anything more than a pawn in his plan.

You see his cheeks lightly dust pink from blushing. Flustered, he smiles at you. "Of course we're friends."

You feel your heart jump. "Then it's settled." Smiling, you gather everything Thoma needed, dropping the price down 80 percent.

"W-Woah." Thoma stutters, eyes widening at the low price. "I said you can give me a discount, this feels like I'm stealing from you."

"Nonsense." You wave him off. "It's fine. I really don't mind."

Thoma sighs, knowing he can't win this battle, and hands you the money. "You really, really didn't have to do that."

"I know." You say, placing the money in the register. "But... You've helped me a lot. With my mom. So it's the least I could do."

"Oh! That reminds me. Tomorrow is the dinner, you didn't forget, did you?"

You tried not to show the panic in your face, because you did indeed forget. "O-Of course not." You stuttered, trying not to cause Thoma any anxiety. "I remembered! It's at 5, right?"

He nods. "Yup. It's kind of a big deal, do you need help picking out an outfit? I do it for Lady Ayaka quite often."

Thinking of the your wardrobe, you really didn't have many nice outfits, but you would simply rather pass away than have Thoma see you trying clothes on.

"I got something." You lied. You really had to go shopping. "Trust me, it's perfect."

"If you say so." He grabs the items he just purchased from you. "Well thank you, again. See you tomorrow?"

You nod. "Of course. See you tomorrow, Thoma."

-

After a miserable shopping experience with your mother, you took matters into your own hands and picked out an outfit yourself. It was black and trimmed with lace and silver. You exuded a darker energy, very opposite of Thoma, and this dress felt like it truly belonged to you.

Your mother, though the devil at times, saw your anxiety about the dinner you were attending tonight, and insisted she took over the shop. You were grateful for that, because you weren't sure how you could get ready and also run the shop.

Arriving at the estate, you were met with only Ayaka. "Oh, Y/N! Right on time." She smiles at you warmly. "Please, have a seat in the dining room with me. I'm sure Thoma and my brother will be here shortly."

After spending many days in the estate, you didn't feel as out of place, but knowing you were about to meet the head of a very powerful clan, you couldn't help but shake a little.

"Might I say you look beautiful." Ayaka says, eyeing your outfit. "You are always quite pretty, but this... I can see why Thoma likes you so much."

You blush feverishly at her words, almost instinctively covering yourself up. You're not used to praise. "T-Thank you." You stutter, smiling at the ground. "It's nothing really..."

"Oh, hush. You're gorgeous. And please, don't be nervous, especially for my brother." You see her slightly roll her eyes. "He can be a lot, but surely, he is not someone you should be nervous about meeting. To put it simply, he's weird."

You giggle at how informal Ayaka can get talking about Ayato. It seems he really gets on her nerves, which is not surprising at all. As powerful as he might be, older brothers will be older brothers.

Ayaka motions for you to sit at the little table. Knowing you were nervous, she sat you across from Ayato rather than next to him. "You can sit next to Thoma and I, I know it'll make you less nervous."

You were grateful Ayaka understood your anxieties. She truly was a kind person.

"So, Y/N, have you ever seen my brother in person?"

You shake your head, a little embarrassed. "I can't say I even know what he looks like." You admit.

Ayaka giggles. "I expected as much. Both he and I do not get out in public much, though him a bit more than I." She smooths her skirt out. "Sometimes he likes to go to this boba tea place in Inazuma City. I tell him he's wasting time, and that he is already late for whatever meeting he should be attending, but he claims the tea 'calms his nerves'."

Now you're the one laughing. The more you hear about Ayato, the more intrigued you are to meet such a character. "Sounds like quite the personality."

"You have no idea." Ayaka groans.

"Sorry I'm late!" Thoma quickly walks in, out of his usual attire. His eyes make his way to you. "Woah." Was all he could muster, staring at you with longing eyes.

"See!" Ayaka turns back at you. "Look, you stunned Thoma with your beauty."

Your face must look like a tomato by now! "I uhh..." Thoma also looked quite good. He was in a much more formal outfit, and you also could not form the right words.

Both of you were at a complete standstill.

"Thoma! Tell her she looks beautiful!" Ayaka snaps.

He clears his throat, his entrancing thoughts interrupted. "S-Sorry. I was just... Caught off guard." He walks up to you, taking your hand and gently placing a kiss atop it. "You look extremely beautiful, Y/N."

You wanted to puke.

You swallow nervously. "Y-You look good too." You say quietly, both of you now blushing profusely.

Thoma made his way to sit seat right next to you, as you wait for Ayato.

"Where is that man?" Thoma groans, looking at the empty plate in front of him. "I'm hungry."

The sound of footsteps brought everyone to a halt, as your eyes were met with a sea of pale blue looking right back at you. You freeze.

This was Ayato?

His soft facial features contrasted that of a mischievous grin he seemed to sport on his face. His blue hair fell seemingly perfect, just over his eyes. He looks unreal. You gulp nervously.

He seems to be having the same reaction, as his eyes have not left your frame.

"Lord Ayato, very nice to see you." Thoma starts, finding it a little off Ayato hasn't sat down yet. "How was your trip?"

Clearing his throat, Ayato pulls his chair out. "The trip was satisfactory. We landed a great deal." He states, sitting down. "However..." He looks back at you. "I don't believe we are here to talk business..."

You didn't seem to understand your feeling at this moment. Here sat the head of a system you hated, yet you couldn't seem to take your eyes off him. He was graceful yet a little mysterious.

Thoma notices your shift in vibe and shuffles uncomfortably in his seat. "Y-Yes, of course. This is Y/N, my girlfriend."

You lightly gasp at the word.

Girlfriend.

No man has ever called you that.

Trying to look as unphased as possible, you only nod at Ayato in response. "Yes, hello Lord Kamisato Ayato, pleasure to meet you." You bow your head down slowly.

"Please, no need to be so formal." Ayato says.

You keep your hands in your lap as you try not to show all the hormones raging inside you right now. Between Thoma calling you his girlfriend (albeit fake), and Ayato eyeing you down, you swear you're going to explode.

"So, Y/N, beautiful name. Tell me, what do you do?"

You blush at Ayato's compliment. "Thank you. I run a small shop in Inazuma City."

"Impressive." Ayato smiles. "It's not easy running your own store. Tell me about it."

You couldn't believe how easy it was to talk to Ayato. He was smart, funny, and honestly? A little weird. But you didn't mind. You were scared he was going to be like an all perfect commissioner robot, but seeing him so carefree... It made you actually not hate him.

"And then, Itto lost again! So I took his Onikabuto and he was only left with one more!" Ayato laughs.

You laugh along, absolutely engrossed in every story he told. You almost forgot the reason you were there.

As you and Ayato were laughing it up talking about Onikabuto fights and hot pot games gone wrong, Ayaka peeks a glance at thoma, who has barely said three words.

"Thoma?" Ayaka nudges him quietly. "Are you okay?"

Thoma widens his eyes, realizing he had been sulking. "Of course, why wouldn't I be?" He let out a weak smile.

Ayaka frowns. "I suspect this is not going the way you planned for it to go."

Thoma only looks at you as you laugh along with his boss. He feels his heart physically drop seeing you so happy with another man. He knew this relationship wasn't real, though. How could he be mad?

If anything, he was more sad. Sad it took jealousy to realize what he wanted all along.

You and Ayato finally calmed down with the laughter as you both wiped tears away from your eyes. "I must say, commissioner. I have not laughed like that in quite some time." You smile.

"As I. I believe the last time I cried laughing is when Thoma and I played our last hot pot game many months ago."

Thoma.

You forgot. You were here to be a good girlfriend to Thoma.

You awkwardly laugh as you looked down at your plate. How could you be so stupid?

But at the same time, you couldn't deny the chemistry between you and Ayato. Even if it was just one conversation. It's not like Thoma even likes you anyways. Was there any harm in looking at other potential suitors if the one you want doesn't want you?

"It is quite late. Shall I get a guard to walk you home, Y/N? Or of course, you could stay here the night-"

"No." Thoma interrupted, causing all heads to turn to him. Beat red, he clears his throat. "I-I mean, I will walk her home. Do not worry the guards, Lord Ayato."

"Very well." Ayato looks back at you. "It was very, very nice to meet you, Y/N." He gently grabs your hand, kissing the top of it. You felt the heat from your cheeks burn even brighter. "You are quite the gem."

You smile shyly. "You as well, Lord Ayato."

With one final bow, Ayato left the dining room. Dazed and confused, you didn't know what to think anymore.

After saying goodbye to Ayaka, Thoma and you head back to your house. "You really didn't need to come with me." You say, looking over at the piercing black sky. "It's really dark."

"Well... I wanted to talk to you." Thoma's voice sounded off. You look at him, puzzled.

"Talk? Did I mess something up?" You were scared. you didn't think anything had gone wrong, yet looking back, Thoma barely spoke during the entire dinner.

"No, nothing like that. I... Wanted to know what you thought about Ayato."

You lightly blush. What you thought about him? You weren't sure yourself. "Well, he's funny. I assumed he'd be a prude, in all honesty, but I appreciated his humor." Thoma stayed silent, which worried you even further. "Thoma? Is something the matter?"

"Hm?" He looks at you. "I just... You seemed to really like him, is all." He laughs awkwardly.

"Thoma." You frown. You spent a great deal of time with him to know something was off. "Please, be honest with me. What did I do?"

"Nothing." Was all he said. "You didn't do anything wrong."

You didn't want to pry any further, so you stray away to another topic of conversation. "So... Did it seem like Ayato liked me?" You were nervous to ask the question, but it's not like Thoma was really your boyfriend, as sad as that made you.

Thoma literally stops in his tracks, causing you to stumble a little. "If Ayato likes you?" It seems as if all of Thoma's fears were accurate. He knew you wouldn't ask unless you cared. Seeing how you guys acted together, he should have known, but living in blissful ignorance seemed like a better option. "Of course he did." Thoma sighs. "Who wouldn't like you?"

If you weren't going to be with him, the least he could do was hope you were happy with someone else.

"Really?" You sounded a bit more hopeful than Thoma wanted you to.

He nods. "Really."

"It's strange... But I didn't think I would like him as much as I do."

Thoma wanted to cry. He never believed that you would make him so emotional. "Well? What are you going to do about it?" Sure, he was scared of you leaving him, but it was inevitable.

"I... I don't know." You admit. "I mean, we're still... 'together', plus I don't even think he would go for me..."

"Don't say that." Thoma said sternly, looking right at you. You stop walking, confusion arising on your face.

"Huh?" You say quietly.

"Anyone would be really, really lucky to be with you, Y/N. Trust me." Thoma wasn't laughing, nor being sarcastic in anyway. He was dead serious. "If you think Ayato would make you happy... We can stage a break up if you want. But..." It felt against his nature to say all these things to you, as if the universe was screaming at him to stop, but he couldn't. He wants so desperately for you to be happy, and who better to make you happy than the head commissioner?

After all, Thoma was only a housekeeper.

"But what?" You breathe out. Was this what you think it was?

Thoma looks away, grateful you couldn't see the feverish blush on his face due to the pitch black sky. "Nothing. Never mind. This was never meant to be permanent. We both got what we wanted..."

"Thoma..." You started. "I-I don't want to say something wrong, but I need to ask you something..."

The only thing you could see in the night sky were his sad, green eyes, staring at you with such anxiety. "Yes?"

You gulp nervously. You felt like such a child asking the question, but you had to know. "Do you like me?"

"Define... What you mean."

"I mean... Do you want this relationship to be real?" Silence from both ends. You take Thoma's hands gently, resulting in a light gasp on his end. "Do you?"

Thoma slowly starts to nod, gripping your hands a little harder, like he never wants to let you go. "I... I think I'm falling in love with you." he whispers.

What?! That is not what you expected. You feel your lip tremble as you let the words melt into you. "You do?" You whisper.

Love? He loves you?

Thoma's eyes were now glossy with tears. "I know this wasn't part of the plan, I-I'm sorry. I know you probably don't feel the same. I know you took a great liking to Ayato. I saw the way you smiled with him. Laughed with him. You two... Would be good together."

"Don't apologize." You were crying now. "I just-"

"You don't need to explain yourself." He interrupted. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have caught feelings-"

"Thoma." You say a little too sternly, causing him to shut up.

He was almost too scared to answer. "Yes?"

Were you really about to do this? The last few days all you wanted was for this relationship to be real, and now you couldn't even speak properly! When words fail, what else is there to do?

You quickly close your eyes and push your head up, crashing your lips into his.

Stunned, he widens his eyes at the sudden affection. Slowly, he starts to move in rhythm with you, closing his eyes and bringing a hand behind your head to kiss you deeper.

You wrap your arms around his neck as he licks the bottom of your lip, the kiss deepening even more.

After what felt like ages, you part, your arms still around him. "I'm sorry..." You breathe out, embarrassed. "I-I didn't know what to do, so I..."

Thoma only smiles in response, gently grabbing your thighs and lifting you up. You gasp as you were now above Thoma. "Do it again. Please." Thoma begs.

You let out a light chuckle as you kiss him again, a little less messy this time. You felt every part of him connect with you.

"I'm falling in love with you, too." You mutter into his lips.

You feel him smile. "So... No Ayato?"

You giggle. "Yes, he's handsome. But to put it simply... He's not you. I want you."

That was all it took to make your fake relationship, a real one.

As you kissed under the moon, a small dandelion sprouts just under the two of you.

Where did it come from? Who knows.

Thoma tucks your hair behind your ear, staring into your eyes.

"You're so beautiful, my dandelion."
