#im just entertaining my rarepair okay..... leave me alone and never come back

[kikiwiwiz]

Anyways my swap au since i don't think ill color for a few days from now.

Please don't judge me im just a boy

Alright so basically this is not an entirely swap au where i swap everyone to the t and its also kinda a way for me to entertain my rarepair (meikane) so if anything doesn't make sense just pleaaase leave it at that

So Mei is still sick, she usually doesn't believe in supernaturals and such but since she is told by doctors and other staff that she will die soon, her belief in them strenghtens and she summons Hanako-kun (who is Akane in this au) (Tsukasa is Aoi if you're wondering where she went)

But unlike Nene who wished for love, Mei's main wish comes from a kind if desperation for art. She aches to finish one last painting before the pass onto the next life, it doesn't even need to be a perfect painting hung up on a wall she just wants one that will get the job done, show that she was infact an artist who fought until the very last breath.

İn this au, contrary to the original Akane n Teru met before Mei and Akane. So Teru butts in into their conversation rather casually, just zapping Akane and hearing out Mei's wishes, he quite likes how she isn't materialistic and cares about her creations so he doesn't just drag Akane away

They once again uncorrupt the mokke then Akane's feelings slowly starts to bloom, he goes to Kako who is Tsuchigomori in this au and explaine the situation of his cause and just gushes all over about how much he loves Mei

Kako is Akane's art teacher and Mirai is the doll he made to show anatomy to his students, neat!

Kako just listens to his rant and is happy that he found someone to count on besides Teru and is also glad about the fact he isn't compleaning about everything that doesn't go his way

The three of them go to the mid year festival and Mei gets sent to the past Nene style she just hangs out with Baby Akane and Baby Aoi and wonders who she is since she never heard of her before... weird... But when shes back to the regular world they all hang out and everything is fine YAAAY!!

the middle part doesn't exist because im lazy so anyways AOİ AND AKANE BACKSTORY!!!

Aoi and Akane live in the same houses and the places they used to, the hole is located in Akane's house and Aoi sacrifices mainly bugs to make Akane's small wishes come true

Then Akane comes down with the sickness and Aoi tries to offer the hole more things

Animals, bigger bugs, reptiles, anything she can get her hands on really

But she doesn't really mention any wishes to Akane, she just assumes things and makes them come true for him. But they aren't enough.

Aoi starts to sacrifice the tiny flowers that began to bloom in her garden in a last ditch effort to make Akane's pain go away but to no avail, Akane is still sick and Aoi has run out of options.

She finally asks Akane what he wants more than anything in the world and Akane responds pretty plainly, how he wants to see some places, make a friend or two, maybe getting married, graduating college, owning a cool car and all

So Aoi goes back to the hole and instead of with her usual sacrifices she sacrifices herself, happy to see Akane being all better next day

Akane can tell something is off so his obsession with Aoi never gets as much as it is in the manga, even him killing her was mainly because Akane knew something was off but not what and Aoi hasn't told him despite them being close

So anyways the severance happens.

Akane tells Mei just before it happens that it will happen and that she will forget him and other supernatural friends she made along the way, obviously she tells him to just stop messing with her head and just say the truth and Akane confirms that it is the truth, just before fading away from her grasp, never to be seen again.

Teru still tries to find him, though. Since he doesn't know what happened to Akane he tries to pick up clues where he might be, he checks every corner that they used to meet up and calls out his name constantly, a flicker of hope that he will come back to him.

But he never answers back.

He finally goes to Mei for help and they search around together, it ending in the Minamoto household where they beg Kou for answers instead, Kou says he doesn't know either and that Amane and him will investigate further (Amane is the clock keeper in this au) since his powers went away as well.

When they are up in Teru's room, Mei mummbles something about how she never really thought Akane would be gone for this long when he said he would be gone and Teru obviously gets confused and asks about when he mentioned such a thing so Mei just says "yknow.. the day before" she says meekly, not getting the hint and in that moment cold water gets poured down Teru's shoulders.

Not offended (definitely offended) but upset that Akane didn't tell HİM, his friend of almost two years about him suddenly disappearing but just some girl who summoned him when? A few months ago?! İts almost like he doesn't even give a fuck about him.

Lateron Amane and Kou ask them to come down stairs and explain how they need a piece of a supernatural to go to the far shore, and since there aren't any regular supernaturals left they need to go to the place where the line with the far shore and early shore are the thinest, which is where Akane's family uses

Teru says he will go there if he must and Amane just goes "okay!!!!! İll just take your brother on a date then" and then they just do the whole day off thing but without the visiting the old man part, so Teru goes to the farshore alone to relieve some stess off his bones and the anger he has on Akane

He obtains the supernatural part quite fast but theres a voice in him that urges him to go deeper in the house and find something that has been missing in his life. So he does so since he has nothing better to do, his steps are quite fast as he just wants to get over with it.

He opens the doors but theres little to nothing behind them, maybe a portrait of his family with his mom or just hid big brother's sword falling down on his feet, he doesn't really know what any of those mean and keeps walking in and out of doors he finds, then a pair of hands cover his eyes and turns him around, his eyes widen to see Akane

Akane immediately greets him with a big bright smile and talks about how they need to catch the buss to the school, how their first class is with mr Kako so they don't want to miss it and overall about daily life, from his looks too he seems to be a regular middle school student without worries or fears, so he just follows Akane, barely noticing he went through another door, then he realizes that Akane is still a supernatural, the thing on the back of his neck still visible and he goes to scratch his, noticing that theres a paper on there. He goes up to a mirror and checks it out, realizing he has become Akane's yorishiro.

Akane apologizes as he holds his cheeks, how after everything that happened the thing that he regrets most is that he havent told anyone about his disappearance, how he is sooo happy to see him again, how much he missed him but in that moment Teru finally sees through the facade, slapping him off and pinning him to the ground, staring down at a rather confused Akane who stares right back into his soul, making it hard for Teru to just eliminate the problem. So he just.. doesn't, he runs out the door with a hurry, leaving his trident behind as a result.

But the moment he goes through the door he is in their home, specifically their doorstep, he is dressed in clothes Kou used to wear when dad would take him for his training and when he looks up, he notices the similarities, a blade similar to Kou's in his hand, looking up at his father seemingly taking him out to a mission. But he snaps out of that one quicker, throwing himself out of the door he came through. He experiences much weirder and more detailed scenarios as he goes through the countless doors, sooner or later realizing those are the desires he had since he was a little boy

But the time he is spent and exhausted he finally sees a closed door, he goes to open it but instead is met with Aoi, who holds a jar full of bugs, staring up at him with her beady eyes. She runs past him and Teru follows behind her, watching the backstory of the Aois unfold.

He sees his trident at the garden of the house once he gets out but he does make a decision, he won't become the exorcist he aspired to be, at least for Akane, someone he cares so deeply about using the power of the unknown to cling to life.

He goes back home with the supernatural, he is there early, then met with Amane, Kou and Mei

He doesn't preapere the supernatural since he wants to face Akane on his own and teach him a lesson or two about how to treat his friends, but Kou does it for him instead so the four of them go to the house Kou has seen all those things to.

Teru goes in head first then Amane and Kou then lastly, Mei. Meanwhile that, Yashiro and Akane are having a conversation about how they lived their lives, how much they enjoyed it and things they would change if they could, once silent sinks in Nene asks Akane about Teru and what he thinks of him, if he regrets ever meeting him.

Akane sighs and says that his only regret about Teru is that he hasn't told him when he was leaving, because he did promised him he would be there for Teru's whole time in that school

But just about he is about to finish his sentence, the train stops and everybody obviously begins to panic, Akane clings to Nene and tries to find a safe way out, and all of a sudden red beads cover his and Nene's body, surprised he floats off the ground with Nene and flies out of the window with the beads, eyes meeting Teru's, colder than usual without the stupid smile he grew used to

Akane asks a lot of questions, how he came here, doesn't he knows how dangerous it is out there?! What the hell is wrong with his head?! Does he have a death wish?! As he approached Teru more and more he feels his body pinned to the ground, punch after punch meet his face as he tries to tell Teru to stop, once he feels tears on his face is when it all stops and he looks up at Teru, his eyes filled to the brim with tears, the first time of him seeing him like that so he obviously just stops protecting himself and try to think of a way to comfort his friend.

Teru grabs onto Akane's shirt to yell at him but before he could continue Kou and Amane separate them, Mei rushing to Akane crying and hugging him, but Akane's eyes stay on Teru, his tears soaked back into their place as he just pushes Kou off, saying he's fine as it is.

On the way back home, Akane asks Teru of why he cares so much and apologizes for being a bit too mean back there, Teru is silent through it all, telling him to forget it so Akane jokingly says that if he is the only person who can make him cry, then he must be the most important person in his life.

Teru stays silent but just muttering out a maybe before extending his hand from the back, Akane takes it, sighing. Maybe he should just shut his mouth

The roles switched:

Mei: Nene

Hanako: Akane

Kou: Teru

Aoi: Tsukasa

Nene: Aoi(sunflower trio n toilet trio swap basically)

(Tsukasa is his own additional charachter)

Sakura: Hakubo

Sumire: Natsuhiko

Kako: Tsuchigomori

Mirai: Yako

Shijima: Mitsuba

Mei: Sousuke

Additional commentary:

Amane isn't obsessed with Nene the way Akane is obsessed with Aoi, he actually has a crush on both Kou n Nene

Kou's crush on Nene is much more vibrant and obvious like in the original story but Teru doesn't feel anything but platonic love for Mei

Akane is reffered to as 'Hanako' but Kako n Aoi call him Akane n Teru calls him Aoi

Mitsuba is much more possessive in the au which makes their work a lot more harder since Aoi purely manipulated him for her own desires which is for Akane to only think of her.

Mitsuba's picture perfect world isn't drawings but rather the pictures he took as he was alive so in the picture perfect arc we also learn about Mitsuba's backstory and his certain life decisions.

Mirai was never alive in this au, after being created by Kako her only purpose was to be a helpful guide on simplistic anatomy, lateron gaining the life for being Kako's yorishiro

Natsuhiko was never a sacrifice but rather an annoying lowerrank supernatural who wouldn't leave Sakura alone eventually after feelings are shared, and Natsuhiko gets exorcised he reborns as her yorishiro

The yorishiro of Kako is Mirai and Mirai's yorishiro is the last screw of her doll body.

The clockeepers' yorishiro is the boundary itself

Akane's yorishiro is Aoi

Mitsuba's yorishiro is his camera

Tsuchigomori and Hanako are still extremely close and Kou isn't as violent as Teru is so Amane of this au is much more aware of his powers and isn't afraid to use them (stopping time at any point of the day, it being 40 minutes with a 15 minute cooldown, his hammer being usefull outside of the boundary, certain levels of time manipulation etc)

Also in this au Sousuke tries to kill Mitsuba rather than the other way around because he hates that he makes a world where everyone is happy without him

İ don't plan on writing this until next year so meh might as well dump small portion of it here, right?
