✦➤ background

As the one and only heiress to the Kurokawa family, an old lineage of shrine maidens, Ryo wasn't expected to be anything other than perfect: the perfect heiress whose perfect skills would soon serve to hide how much of an embarrassment her mere existence had brought onto the family.

Born to a single mother and with birth circumstances far from normal, there was always something unusual about her. After some time it was found out to be an illness: she simply had a weak heart. That was the entire reasoning behind her sometimes strange acting, the fainting and being sick. A weakness she could never get rid off and which would surely end her life way sooner than it should.

Her quiet yet somehow fulfilling life in the countryside only lasted for a few years. Things started to go wrong as she grew up: people getting sick, their shrine catching fire. Her grandfather dying. She wasn't ill, she was cursed.

Just as the Kurokawa family's one and only hope to regain their household's old status vanished and they started targeting Ryo as the root of all evil, her mother took the difficult decision to flee from their home, to leave everything behind and move with a father she didn't know a thing about but who could surely help them... or so she expected.

Ryo's father wasn't a kind man. He wasn't even a human and that suddenly brought a bizarre closure to everything she had been feeling for the past years: she wasn't cursed, she simply wasn't human. Not really a human and not really a vampire, but some sort of sick in-between.

After her mother was killed by her father time after that, everything spiralled down. Vampires were monsters and she didn't want to become one of them, no matter what. She seeked revenge against her father and was determined to do anything to get it.

With no family left to look after her, she found unexpected support in a boy slightly older than she was, who introduced himself as her brother. Her step brother on her father's side, even though the line started blurring soon after that, a vampire who also seeked revenge against the same man that had hurt her.

Time after that, a barely teenager Ryo decided to move back to Japan and start living on her own while trying to plot revenge against her father. Things worked out, somehow, as she tried to regain a human life that was forcefully taken away from her while dealing with grief and the aftermath of her non-human nature.

Years later, almost when she had grown used to being a "human" again, a certain incident forced her to move into a certain mansion where six vampires lived, pushing her back to the same situation she had lived as a kid: to keep herself alive, at all means. And to fight all the demons she had been trying to avoid for so long.

🤜 Malleable Mochi 🍡

Tried out writing a fierce but domestic reader character... don't know how well I did. No beta, like always.

It was nearing December already, despite it feeling like September had just passed. How time flies, huh?

You pondered over it as you nibbled on your snack, scrolling through HeroTube videos mindlessly until you saw a video with a thumbnail that featured a cute porcelain rabbit, a wooden pedestal with wax paper and ornamental decorations on it, and most importantly...

Mochi. In a small corner of the thumbnail, there was even a mochi cut in half to display the dark adzuki bean paste filling and the gentle yellow chestnut, which was supposed to look like a full moon at night.

Maybe it was too late for the harvest moon festival, but who cared. It looked tasty, easy, and, well, when Monoma came back, you could make it with him after measuring out all the ingredients.

That sounded good, and besides, there's been enough of fall spices and peppermint going around. Time for a change of taste!

================================================

Monoma sighed after closing the door behind him and putting his casual jacket on the clothes hangar, finally back home after a long day of hero work and paperwork. Both were tedious and enjoyable (more the hero work than the paperwork), but he did need something comforting...

"Sweetheart, I'm hooooooome~!" He yelled, hearing his voice echo in the house's walls before he heard your response.

"Honey-buns! Come to the kitchen, I got something I want'cha to help with!"

"Alright, I'll be there in a second!" he replied to you, smiling wistfully to himself as he palmed the small ichigo* daifuku he bought on the way back. A small treat for you, but judging by the smell in the house, it'd be in the fridge for a little while.

He took off his shoes and walked to the kitchen, to be greeted with...

You, who had portioned out the ingredients already and were in the process of cooking them, were mashing the adzuki beans you had just boiled (evident by the pot in the sink that was slightly steaming somewhat) with some sugar using the potato masher that, honestly, had gone forgotten for weeks until now. You didn't seem to notice him yet.

Seeing this, Monoma crept up behind you slowly and every so silently, internally anticipating your reaction as he inched closer and closer...

"I can hear your watches jingle on your belt, honey-buns."

"Tch..."

Oh well, he'd get you next time. He wrapped his arms around your shoulders, resting his head on the crook of your neck as he admired the view.

"So, what're you making? It smells better than I expected."

"Mochi! I saw a video online, and watch your mouth. I only burned that popcorn once because I hadn't made it for a while!"

He cried out in mock-pain as you bit onto his cheek gently, leaving pinkish shallow marks on his face that'd fade away in minutes.

"Ah, my darling, you disfigure me! How will I show myself on the streets now that my face has been rent asunder?" He put a hand on his forehead, leaning backwards and away from you with 'despair' on his face.

He slipped.

You scrambled to put the bowl on the counter to catch him right before he hit the ground, his heart racing from the surprise scare. Your heart was evidently racing, too, from how you were dry-laughing from stress and from the scare he had just gave you.

"..."

"..."

"...I'm sorry..?"

"You better be, dumbass..."

Then, you kissed him fiercely, allowing his stress to melt away along with his fear that just spiked for a few moments before you pulled away.

"You're so lucky you have a kissable face, or I'd have punched you already."

"...pfft- hahahahaha! Oh, don't worry, Kendo does all of the physical lecturing for you so you don't hurt your pretty hands on my head."

He then threw the most lovesick, puppy-eyed look he could muster. Monoma loved how your blush rose onto your skin despite the fact that you were still mildly angry, and how easy it was for you to give in.

Eventually, after five or so seconds, you sighed and placed the half-mashed bowl of bean paste into his hands.

"I'll deal with the mochi. Don't slip again, okay?"

Your tone was rough, but your eyes gave away the worry and the mild annoyance you felt as you stormed to the stove and took out the freshly-steamed mochi from the steamer in the pot, hissing from the heat as you hurriedly placed it on a large cutting board caked with rice flour.

Monoma grinned as he stood up, mashing the beans as he looked over.

He saw you punching and folding the mochi dough quickly, as if you did this multiple times before. Or maybe you punched and slapped a training dummy so many times it translated into mochi-making skills.

Either way, his eyes sparkled with every punch you delivered and every blow you landed, even if you stopped sometimes to cool your hands down, that he eventually finished mashing his own beans but was still doing so even if they were already done.

"I love you, sweetheart."

"Love you too, honey-buns! Now, help me make some mochi, eh?"

================================================

You sat on the couch, nibbling on some slightly lumpy mochi as your head laid in Monoma's lap while you watched TV with him. The show on was something about a pink-haired guy and a white-haired guy with a blindfold and they were supposed to be very important, but right now, your focus was locked on Monoma.

Who was dozing off right now, and there were a few more marks on his skin. You had bitten a bit too hard earlier after you both were done making mochi, but it was fine.

This was the life, nibbling on slightly warm mochi and savoring the sweetness of affection and sweet treats. And a good kiss on the cheek every few minutes.

[Apparently this rabbit's name is Daifuku, or something close to it. It's cute so I kept the GIF.]

starter for @reservedcloud

today was the day that they had agreed upon. it seemed the captain had an unexpected low workload day so she had sent him a text to inform him she would be available to check on the twins in an hour's time. to which he had responded with a grateful thank you and that he would meet her at the foot of the woods to guide her to their home. it also gave him time to make some snacks and tea available for her when she did arrive.

luckily, since the entire house was ready for spring decor wise he also did decide to make spring-themed food whenever he could. just last night he had prepared some sakura mochi which he had first practised days before Hinamatsuri came along on the 3rd of the month -- it had been a hit luckily on the day it had been served. he had bought some Ichigo Daifuku and Hanami Dangos from the market as well. and if she favoured something savoury he had some scrambled eggs with little hot dogs rolled in them in little shapes of stars and fish. of course, he had a spring-themed tea brewing too, white peach tea. lately he had learned that tea wasn't too bad. even though coffee was still the preferred beverage of this household.

when the time came to pick up the captain, tsuki and haru were told to stay put inside the house and off he went to bring her to his not-so-small home in the middle of the woods. it was intentionally situated so it wouldn't be easy to find hence why he had to go get her.

' hello, captain isane. i hope your day has been well so far. '

2nd attempt at Ichigo Daifuku strawberry mochi 🐇🍓 turned out so good!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn04RPWuLT8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ichigo Daifuku is this scrumptious little Japanese treat which brings together a section of fruity strawberry containing lovely filling enveloped by rice paste made out of glutinous rice. Enjoy it cool and crunchy on outside with a chewy soft mochi inside, pairing well with the juicy acidity from the strawberries!

💫 + sweets <3

opening pandora's box i see 👀. i personally worry about her health because is it really good for you to have that much sugar a day... she tries to play it cool but i think she can be bribed with sweets pretty easily—

✦➤ sweets

If it’s sweet, there’s a high chance Ryo will like it or at least try to eat it. As someone who was raised in a very traditional household, the moment she found out western sweets it’s like an entire new world opened. Like you suddenly go from mochi and red bean paste to like puff pastries, custard and fluffy cakes and oh boy does she love the change. (The gap moe. It’s all about the gap moe.)

Given that strawberries are actually her favourite fruit, anything with strawberries on it gets an immediate pass. Strawberry cake. Ichigo daifuku (aka mochi with red bean paste and a nice strawberry in the middle). There is absolutely no sweets discrimination in this house, anything is good as long as it’s tasty! She has two hands: one for western sweets and one for japanese sweets.

She doesn’t really like extremely sweet stuff but isn’t picky with her food and likes to put milk and cream into her coffee. Is it really coffee when there’s barely any coffee anymore. Looks all cool with her fancy coffee cup that could cause diabetes to a whole country. Talk about a sweet tooth.

Ryo doesn’t make friends easily but she has a special kind of beef with Kanato because he can and will eat any treat she bought for herself OR blame her for not sharing her sweets, which is arguably the worst option. But the purple gremlin ate an entire strawberry cake. Is that even legal? Can vampires get diabetes? Cavities? She hopes they can. She hopes it is extremely painful too.

Occasionally likes to visit cute little cafes that specialize in baking sweets or pastries and have a quiet afternoon all to herself. It’s kind of her own little secret / weak point she doesn’t like to talk about because it makes her look a bit silly and immature. At the end of the day it’s just food but something about looking so girly is fighting with her ~mature girl~ sense.

Bonus: Even though ichigo daifuku is her go-to favourite sweet because it’s reminiscent of her childhood and has strawberries on it, I think she loves these little tea ceremony pastries called namagashi. Like please take a look they’re super tiny and shaped like all sorts of flowers and little details, you won’t want to eat them because they’re soooo cute <3
