Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers! Spread the self-love 💞 because I love your fics <333

ohh, thank you 🥰🫶🏼

(warning: major yapping incoming. no seriously.)

[1] will o‘ the wisps

quite obviously, lol! this story just has a special place in my heart, for the fact that i‘ve had the ground idea for so long, all the details that went into it that for most part probably even went unnoticed to the readers but were so important for me personally, the planning of things, the way i had like a list of the details and easter eggs and everything. also, the name (not to toot my own horn) but i truly had the biggest *oooohhh!!!* moment when i found this title for the story and it just fit so so perfectly. the vibe when i wrote it. yeah, just a lot of love. also it‘s my most „hit“ fic i‘ve ever written and wow, i would have never ever imagined to get this reaction to my writing, ever. like i saw the fics from other brilliant amazing writers in the fandom that‘d get 1-3k kudos and i was like what the hell, that‘s crazy much. and then wotw hit +1k kudos and i was (still am) mindblown by that because imagine 1k people irl telling you they love what you wrote? insane. and all your guys comments and asks and i‘ve gotten some of the greatest comments eeeveron this fic, like, just wow. i write for myself because i just have these ideas and words and stories in my head that i need to get out and one day decided to upload because i thought maybe a few people would perhaps like it, have a little joy with it, but of course validation is always amazing and nice, so this reception is mindblowing for me. also i now kind of wish i could rewrite some parts of the story, do some plots more or different or just write differently, but i always hate kinda hate my fics after a while and think i could have done better. but still, so much love for this fic <3

[2] friday night; i‘m in love

just for the vibe of this fic, it‘s my second fave :)) i remember i had such a good time writing this—it was the first time i went to a park to write and i stayed in that park for hours and just…wrote. this fic. and the song makes up the whole vibe of that time of that summer when i wrote this, so. just vibey. reminds me of good times but also somehow bad times. i got a comment that said „so this is what loneliness feels like“ and for someone reason that has stuck with me a hell of a lot.

[3] shores of forgiveness

this is not f1 but motogp, which is a rather little fandom on ao3 and at times idk what possessed me to write this, but, for some reason i do like it? idek. i don‘t even ‚ship‘ rosquez because oh my god, what a fucking mess that „relationship“ or well, that whole..thing..is. but that‘s somehow exactly what i love about them because fuck me that shit hurts and i lived through the split of worlds!! 2015 sepang. the press conference before? marc’s face? i wanna crumple like a leaf in the wind and to be carried away by them so fast that not even any fleeting emotions would ever graze me again. the coldness of 2016. 2018 argentina?? bro what a time to be alive (not!!). you need to know the whole rosquez lore to understand because my god. it hurts too good. literally as of this week’s events…imagine your childhood idol and absolute hero and later friend and now arch-nemesis still going on podcasts t.e.n. years later and still shit-talking you into the ground about how you’re the worst person to have ever lived and the worst thing to happen to this sport and entire nations hate you and and and!! well, ANYWAY, back to it: i don‘t remember the whole thing anymore actually. but still third! byee (fun fact: i have a rosquez playlist that literally consists of songs to scream in the car in anger and heartbreak, and it‘s my kinda therapy oops. as you can see, i am very invested in them still)

[4] but if it ain‘t you (it‘s a lie)

idk. sometimes i forget about this fic oops. but i do like it, i like me some soft besotted absolutely gone in-love alpha charles and cutie-patootie omega max. i don‘t even like the smut of this. actually why am putting this on fourth?🤣 buuttt i also remember the car rides where i listened to the song and then just randomly sat down, wrote this in one sitting, done. i think i wrote this at work even. well well well

[5] now, i am become death

listen. liiisten. i don‘t even remember writing this whole thing. literally two weeks ago i randomly looked through my works, saw this, halted, and was like—who wrote this? me?? when, where??? when did these words ever spook my mind? i reread it and yk what, it‘s fifth. no clue what‘s going on but hey. swords and blood!

anyway waaay too many thoughts, i’m so sorry, thank you! 🩵🤍

[hyunjinspark]

I can‘t even write detailed reviews and theories about SLWY anymore because every chapter leaves me braindead (in the best way). Like, I’m so overwhelmed with feelings after each chapter that I can‘t put them into coherent thoughts and this was no different, but I‘ll try.

Part 14 was different than I expected. I thought that Hyun was gonna be upfront about having to leave earlier. I also expected YN to (try to) talk things out with Lix and Hana. And I imagined the art internship to be a bigger topic, though I‘m sure it‘s gonna be picked up in the following parts. Long story short, I thought it was going to be a lot more angsty and dramatic, almost loud, but I love what you did with this chapter instead. It was a quiet sort of angst. Aside from being unexpected (for me, at least), I feel like despite it not being as sad as Part 13, the chapter had a constant melancholic undertone. I don‘t know if you did on purpose, but to me, it felt like it demonstrated YN headspace very well. She‘s trying to make happier memories, Hyun‘s trying to cheer her up, Yeonjun and our new (and very likable, btw) character Yuqi were there and despite everyone genuinely trying, there‘s a subtle - yet still very palpable - sadness and emptiness about YN and anything that doesn’t have to do with Hyun. I‘ve told you several times before, but the way you so realistically but poetically manage to write YN‘s mental wellbeing, which to me has well crossed into an actual depression-realm is heartbreakingly beautiful.

I love that Hyun and YN are breaking their own rules, but they don‘t constantly talk about said rules all the time as they did before. They‘re still aware of their situation, of course, but it‘s like they‘re letting themselves fall. I mean so many make-out sessions in a single chapter, you truly blessed us. Them constantly getting interrupted (phone calls, people walking in on them etc.) is a good metaphor to remind us (and them) of their situation, but it doesn‘t stop them anymore and I love that for HyunYN! 🥹 Though, I do wonder how much him finding out he has to leave earlier made a difference. ALSO, THE FIREFLY SCENE? JESUS H. CHRIST, YOU LITERALLY KILLED ME! The beautiful scenery and them just laying down in the dirt and making out? And when he… SORRY FOR THE TMI, BUT WHEN HE PUT HIS HANDS IN HER PANTIES AND ASKS IF HE COULD FINALLY FINGER HER WHILE CALLING HER BABY IN THE SAME SENTENCE, I PHYSICALLY CLENCHED. Like, I felt legitimate tingles. I‘m so glad I‘m anonymous because you‘d never catch me admitting that openly. I screamed at my phone when Yuqi interrupted.

The convo with Felix, I honestly think - as much as he sucks (the SLWY version of him, ofc) - he was pretty spot-on about her hurting herself. Though saying she wanted "things she can‘t have" is very harsh and untrue, the initial thought he had I do agree with. She does seem a bit self-destructive because of the positions she puts herself in. Not only with her past relationships, but her current situationship with Hyun, her absolutely disgusting best friends (Lix and Hana), putting all eggs in one basket by only applying to one internship etc. This self-sabotage is very common for people with anxiety, unhealed trauma and depression, it happened to me as well and it breaks my heart seeing her this way, but it is so important that you made this part of the story. YN is such a mesmerizing protagonist, she is insanely likable, but she‘s not perfect. And the faults she does have don‘t make her annoying or weak, instead they‘re realistic and relatable. YN is honestly a very inspiring character.

I‘m already so excited for your poetic and romantic magic in the next chapter and I‘m curious to see how HyunYN will handle his secret being out and if they‘re gonna have an argument about it or choose to ignore it and enjoy their even more limited time together. This is all I can somewhat coherently say about this part, I wish you could look into my brain and how many thoughts I have about this story, but I absolutely loved it. And as always, you‘ve outdone yourself! Sending you so much love!

-👑

hi, my love ! dw, i love reading your thoughts even if they’re incoherent haha

what you said about the angst undertone, i really like that! i understand, it definitely could have gone the other direction and been much more louder, angstier, aggressive, but i knew i wanted it to be more towards the calm before the storm ~

im so happy you like yuqi’s character ! (except the interruption of course) the rules are so forgotten and theyre so far gone…and hyun finding out he has to leave is responsible for a lot of his behaviour this chapter…

i love everything you say about yn’s character, thank you for finding her mesmerising and likeable, i would hate for her to interpreted as annoying (?) even though she has a lot of self-sabotage qualities perhaps.

and the firefly scene… 😄 you made me laugh. thank you for letting me know that you liked it so much . :D

☾ ⋮ 𝟎𝟏𝟎 𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐘 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 ! ✦

❅ : hi everyone <33 sooo my first post on my persona chart observations is for soon! in the meantime, here’s the 10th part of my astrology observations! i’ve noticed that you like this type of content, it makes me happy and gives me motivation to do even more!!🫶🏻

❦︎ virgo venus men are actually not even picky but they tend to want to be and seen as perfect for their lover. they really enjoy helping their partner. also, they will remember every single detail about you..

❦︎ capricorn placements (esp. moons) tend to really hate makeup on them. this is something i have noticed in many women with this placement (including my mom) and they tend to judge a lot women who love makeup.

❦︎ people with their ascendant at a cancer degree (4°, 16°, 28°) tend to have round cheeks, rounder face and similar physical features as their moms. that’s sooo cute and beautiful!

❦︎ it’s sadly common for capricorn moons to have really bad mommy issues. again, that’s something i’ve noticed a lot since the moon is in detriment here.

⋆ ࣪ ᖭི༏ᖫྀ ⋆ ࣪ and natives with capricorn moons typically prefer their dad over their mom.

❦︎ lilith in 1st house are naturally very suspicious people, especially towards men. these women are also seen as sexual objects and they often want to hide their shapes at all costs. they know they don't go unnoticed.

❦︎ water placements (esp. moons and mars!) are terrifying. they are, obviously, very kind, empathetic and compassionate but you should never dare to upset them. they take time to really get angry since they are reserved about their feeling but when they do, it’s enough for you.

❦︎ a lot of libra/pisces placements are pathological liars, they will lie about the most random things like what they did ate for breakfast lmaooo. it’s the same when they tell stories, they tend to change certain details to make the story more interesting.

natives with aquarius placements, sun-uranus aspects or uranus-ascendant aspects are as impulsive and easily irritated as aries placements. those placements hate being told what to do and are extremely rebellious.

⋆ ࣪ ᖭི༏ᖫྀ ⋆ ࣪ if you have sun square uranus in your chart, your dad might have been distant and somewhat cold. you probably haven't seen him in years, or even never saw him.

❦︎ libra midheavens might have wanted to be lawyers at some point in their lives. justice is important for them and midheaven (medium coeli or simply the 10th house) is our career since this house is ruled by capricorn.

❦︎ venus-mars aspects (mostly venus conj. mars) are insane to have in your birth chart. they can literally attract the people and things they desire the most with ease. it‘s possible that they have always had what they wanted since they are amazing manifestors.

❦︎ pisces venuses are so fucking sweet. they love with all their heart, it's something uncontrollable and they can't detach themselves from the people they love. they still often think about their past relationships.

❦︎ natives with scorpio in 3rd house are just excellent at dirty talks idc, idc. it’s because the 3rd house is ruled by gemini and mercury (mercury = how you think and communicate) and scorpio is ruled by mars (sex drive and your sexual desires).

❦︎ okay, we all know that scorpio placements are incredible obsessive stalkers but have you seen virgo sun men?? they observe everything, in a very meticulous and calculated way.

❦︎ scorpio risings are able to change their appearance in a few period of time. they may be unrecognizable after only a few months and that’s because scorpio is also ruled by pluto, the planet of change and regeneration.

❦︎ that’s common for every pisces placements but istg pisces moons tend to hesitate a lot when they are talking to someone. they often start their sentences with some "hmm...", i can confirm as a pisces moon !

❦︎ taurus risings and libra risings are both ruled by venus, the planet of love but i’ve noticed that they are very different but similar at the same time (?). taurus risings tend to be more sensual and love to be seen that way while libra risings are charming.

❦︎ the toughest thing about being an air moon is that they are overthinkers. their heads are so messy and they struggle with really bad intrusive thoughts, like very very bad so it can cause them severe migraines.

❦︎ aquarius/pisces in the 11th house tend to ghost their friends a lot. a little mistake and they will never talk to you again. they will simply act as if you did not exist, as if you were dead.

❦︎ natives with aries moons don’t hold grudges and when they get angry at you, it’s possible that they even forget why they were angry at first.

⋆ ࣪ ᖭི༏ᖫྀ ⋆ ࣪ while cancer placements hold some terrible grudges and absolutely never forget what you did to them.

❦︎ little synastry note : if you have a celebrity crush, it’s possible that you have sun conjunct midheaven aspect in your synastry chart! (it’s sure.) as a fan, you might love their vibes, appearance, personality, talent.. but you still know they are not easily accessible.

❦︎ cancer moons can be the most ruthless people when they stop caring about you. they love from the bottom of their heart, so it’s possible for them to hate you in the same way.

❦︎ one of the best mars sign to have is capricorn. these people are incredibly ambitious and will not give up when it comes to their career. they will always work hard to succeed and they will always remain humble about it.

❦︎ there’s that stereotype about virgo placements being overly organised and stuff when in reality the ones i know irl are the messiest people out there (even me, a virgo rising). their minds are as messy as air moons minds.

❦︎ here’s another synastry note : if your mars falls in their 1st house and vice/versa, the partners both feel intense sexual attraction and connection for each other.

❦︎ natives with neptune in the 1st house are so freaking ethereal. dreamy eyes, mesmerising body and absolutely sweet personalities. i can’t help but be jealous of how angelic they look. many celebrities have this placement and they are seen as an unattainable dream.

❦︎ every single thing about aquarius in 6th house tend to be seriously unstable or chaotic. their routine, love life, studies..

❦︎ a person with a sagittarius venus might experience very short relationships, it’s like their relationships end as soon as it started. in addition to that, they tend to not be on good terms with their ex at the end of the relationship. as a sag venus, this theory is true for me.

❦︎ the house where the moon and cancer are placed in your chart are the areas of life you tend to be most emotional about. ex: if you have moon in the 7th house, you might be emotional about your partner and relationships. if you have cancer in the 11th house, you might be overly emotional about your friends.

❦︎ natives with asteroid eros (433) conjunct ascendant have such a sex appeal. like fr.

❦︎ natives with a capricorn venus tend to not have many past relationships since they have high standards and expect a lot from their partner. they just can't be in a relationship with someone just for fun, love is very serious.

❦︎ i really love being around natives with sun conjunct jupiter!! it’s very easy to make them laugh. they are extremely joyful and generous. i feel very happy when i see someone with this aspect in a chart, probably because i’m a sagittarius sun but still.

❦︎ popular kids at school tend to have leo in the 3rd house (leo is all about fame and popularity while the 3rd house is about school). oh !! and if you have venus in the 1st house or venus trine, sextile or conjunct ascendant, you might be a lot of people’s crush.

❦︎ i have moon square pluto and my brother has moon opposite pluto. yeah, we can confirm at 100% that our mom is fucking obsessive and intense.

❦︎ it’s often said that aquarius moons are detached from their emotions but i will first deconstruct this lie. first of all, their biggest problem is that they can’t express their emotions and feelings verbally because they tend to rationalised them but people with aquarius moon in the 3rd house CAN express their feelings verbally, and easily.

here is another good example : aquarius moons with moon-neptune aspects (esp conjunction). these people do not correspond to the stereotypes that surround aquarius moons natives because they are also sensitive & dreamy.

❦︎ all this to say that astrology is not only made up of signs, but also aspects, degrees, houses.. you can't say something only with the sign it’s in, it's much more complex. seeing people saying that gemini venuses are only cheaters makes me so mad, like girl stfu ‘cause yk absolutely nothing about astrology.

Diabolik lovers Chaos Lineage: Shu Sakamaki (Story 15)

In terms of the gameplay: The black choices lead up to a bad ending, the white choices lead up to a good ending. Please no reposting onto other sites, ask me before translating this into another language too!

Place: Scarlet mansion — Living room

Shu: I’m going to be the one ending this idiotic battle right now… !

Kino: It doesn’t matter if your younger brothers suddenly got their memories back or not, the situation won’t change anyway.

Isn‘t it already taking up all your strength to merely stand up with this magical spell on? How do you even think of fighting me in those circumstances?

Yui: (The magical barrier spell… this might really put Shu-san in a huge disadvantage right now)

(However, in this case Shu-san will undoubtedly… !)

Choices

1) Don’t worry, we’ll stay behind (white) ♡ ♡ ♡

2) Everyone’s going to be okay back here! (black)

— Don’t worry, we’ll stay behind♡

Yui: Don‘t worry Shu-san, we’ll stay behind you!

Subaru: Even if he might come up with a trick again, I’ll be there to have your back!

Ayato: Wrong! Yours truly would be the only one making a counterattack without fail!  

Subaru: Hah!? Are you trying to complain about my plan!?

Laito: Ah, yes, yes. I don’t mind either of you supporting, as long as you actually help out.

Shu: Fufu… it’s surely not bad to hear you all being worried about me.

— Everyone’s going to be okay back here!

Yui: Shu-san! Now that everyone has their memories back, you can go against him problem-free!

Ayato: No need to worry about me here! Just keep fighting with all your strength!

Kanato: That‘s right. If you won’t be able to finish him off, I‘ll be the one to stab him with a fork and make fondue out of him in the end.

Reiji: Stop this. You will end up getting food poisoned after that.

Yui: (T-That‘s not even the real problem here!)

Shu: For real… those guys aren’t feeling nervous at all. However, I might end up being able to concentrate better knowing that.

end Choices

Kino: Every last one of you, you’re all seriously pissing me off!

*Kino throws dagger*

Shu: Ngh!

Kino: Hahaha! You can do no more than open your mouth anymore. With all your remaining strength you even tried removing the daggers I stabbed you with!

Shu: Yes… I was only waiting for this. Like this I have a weapon in order to throw it if I have to shut you up.

Further than that… I won’t let you have your desired ways any longer… !

*Shu throws dagger*

Kino: Agh!

*Shu runs to Kino*

Shu: Aghhh!

Kino: Kch!

Yui: (Shu-san tried slashing him with his sword!? They both ended up crossing swords with each other, it seems as if neither of them will give up…)

Kino: Nn, aghhh… !

Shu: While having this barrier around me… you didn’t get closer to me, because it would affect you too if you did, right?

If I caught up to you, you‘d have to experience the equal conditions as I am!

Kino: Kch… Ngh… just because you’re the eldest… doesn’t mean you’ve got the right to go back to your spoiled home...

I will never… lose to some cheap guy like you are...

Shu: ...I’ve got not a single idea of how you’ve lived your life until now. Neither am I interested in it, but...

I, myself, have also lived a life filled with regret until now—

But I won‘t give up on moving on so easily!

*Shu stabs Kino*

Kino: Aghhhh!

*Shu broke free*

Yui: The barrier is gone… !

Reiji: It appears as if the blockade could not bear the power of both of your strengths suddenly colliding.

Kino: Ngh… Kch…

Yui: (Nn, Kino-kun kneed down…)

Shu: This match has officially ended.

— Your Status (Black)

Place: Scarlet mansion — Living room

Yui: (At last the point of his sword captured Kino-kun)

(It‘s finally over. I’m really happy… that it’s done with this)

Reiji: ….. ? Does it smell burnt? No way—

Yui: Eh?

(Nn, h-he‘s lying… !)

No... the mansion is seriously burning… !

Ayato: Hah!? What does this mean!?

Kino: Maybe this is the work of those guys from the other families.

They set the fire in order to bury each and every one currently staying inside this mansion.

Yui: Such...

Kino: Hahaha! Serves you right! Now that all you beloved siblings are together in here, you might as well end up committing a family suicide!

Bye!

*Kino runs off*

Ayato: Don’t run away! Fuck, that guy… even at the end he got his righteousness.

Subaru: Hey, leaving him aside, we also somehow need to get out of here!

Reiji: We will leave this place this instant as well!

Kanato: Before that, go ahead and untie us from these ropes already!

Laito: Like this we wouldn’t be able to flee, even if we wanted to run away!

Shu: I know! Just stay still while I untie you from it.

Yui: I will help out too!

Place: Scarlet mansion — Hallway

Kanato: ….. !? The corridor is already covered in a sea of flames too… !?

Reiji: If we run through this etage in one go, we will be able to make it outside in time.

*they start running*

Shu: ….. !

Yui: Shu-san? What’s wrong?

Shu: I can’t go… not when I know Yuma is still inside here!

Yui: (..... ! He‘s right… we can’t leave Yuma-kun, who’s still laying in his room, behind like that…)

Shu: You must go ahead and escape with Reiji and the others together!

Yui: Shu-san!

*Shu runs off*

Yui: (I can‘t possibly let Shu-san go around alone as injured as that!)

I will go in there too… !

Reiji: Ngh… wait, both of you!

*ceiling collapses*

Reiji: ….. ! The roof tile… I cannot go any further anymore… !

Shu: Haa… Haa… shit, the flames are spreading way too fast… !

Ngh…

*Shu leans against wall*

Shu: Fuck… the wounds he made me suffer with are...

Yui: Shu-san!

Shu: ….. ! You, why are you… didn’t I tell you to go ahead with the others earlier!?

Yui: Even if you told me so, do you really think I’d be able to leave you alone in this sort of tough situation!? What if you may get burned… !?

Shu: You’re wrong… as for this...

Yui: (..... ! The wounds Kino-kun gave him in the fight started to bleed again...)

Shu-san… it’s completely absurd going through this with these wounds…

Shu: I’m a vampire, so I’m fine. I’d be able to simply survive this with my body, while you wouldn’t.

That’s why you should escape from here as long as you still can.

You know that I don’t want to lose anyone right in front of my eyes ever again… !

Yui: Shu-san...

After all, I… I‘m completely useless and can‘t do anything without you too, Shu-san...

So please hold onto my shoulder! Let‘s go in and get Yuma-kun out there together!

Shu: You...

Yui: You promised that we‘d never get separated again, didn’t you? We’ll go through this together, right?

Shu: Yes… you’re right.

Yui: Let’s go and get out of this house with everyone together then!

(The room Yuma-kun is laying in is nearby now… we need to get in there quickly)

Ahem... Ahem...

(Breathing is getting harder… but Yuma-kun is right on the other side of the door before us…)

*Yui opens door*

Yui: (It’s open! Yuma-kun!)

Shu: I’ll definitely...

Yui: Eh?

Shu: I’ll definitely never leave your side. After all, you’ll always stay near me… don’t forget that.

Yui: O-Of course. Why would I suddenly—

*ceiling collapses*

Yui: (The ceiling… the roof tiles are falling down!?)

Kyaaaaaaa!

Shu: ...Don’t worry. I promised it to you. I’ll protect you no matter what.

↳ Labyrinth END

— Your Status (White)

Place: Scarlet mansion — Living room

Kino: ...Nn! This is not over yet… kch.

Shu: You can‘t even stand properly anymore. Even if you did try moving any further, this sword would immediately pierce through your body.

Getting injured by one would only cause vampires to receive a fatal wound. But it‘s different if it goes through your heart.

Kino: ...Shit...

...I‘ve been defeated.

Yui: Kino-kun...

Ayato: Hooray! Shu won!

Subaru: Geez, what a way to make someone feel nervous.

Reiji: ...Well done.

Yui: (Shu-san… he won. We‘re safe now)

(I actually want to run up to him right away. But, for now—)

Shu-san… you were really cool out there.

Shu: ...I wasn‘t particularly trying to look like that.

It‘s only important to me that you‘re safe now.

Yui: Yes… thank you.

Monologue

We finally tied up Kino-kun, and he surprisingly didn‘t even try resisting.

While I was giving Shu-san some brief medical treatment, Reiji-san started to untie Ayato-kun and the others.

After finishing doing so, we decided to once again surrender Kino-kun and interrogate him about this situation.

But as we did that—

We figured he didn‘t know anything either.

Place: Scarlet mansion — Living room

Shu: Does that seriously mean you‘re not the responsible one who made up this world?

Kino: ...It‘s pretty different from that. But it was honestly quite funny to pretend being the mastermind and have you believe it.

I used to be no different from you guys. I was merely another victim who was brought along to this place.

If I was already stuck in this situation, why not use it as an advantage then?

Subaru: Looks like he‘s not the mastermind… but can we actually believe that guy‘s not lying to us?

Laito: He‘d get nowhere even if he was lying to us right now, wouldn‘t he?

Yui: Yes… it feels as even if he really was the mastermind who set up all of this, he probably wouldn‘t get arrested by us this easily.

Ayato: But you know, didn‘t he say he knew details about us beforehand already? Isn‘t this our first real meeting with him?

Even after my memories came back to me, this guy‘s still a mystery to me.

Yui: You‘re right… if Kino-kun really experienced the same as we did, wouldn‘t that mean his memories must‘ve gone insane too?

How have you returned to normal before tonight?

Kino: Why don‘t you search through my pocket and look for yourself?

Yui: Your pocket?

Reiji: Pardon me… this is...

Yui: ...Your smartphone?

Kino: I‘ll explain it to you. At the beginning I was the complete same as you guys, I‘ve lost all of my memories.

It wouldn‘t give me a signal at first, so I merely started playing around with it every now and then until I discovered something.

With the information I discovered, I was therefore able to get back to my usual self.

Yui: Eh, but despite that being our first meeting you seem to be really well informed about Shu-san‘s brothers and even Carla-san‘s sibling...

Kino: Yes, I was in fact planning on killing everyone here from the very beginning. For that reason I already did my preliminary investigation.

Subaru: That guy, he‘s really the most outrageous person I‘ve ever met...

Wouldn‘t it be better to get rid of him either way then?

Yui: Ah, please calm down.

Reiji: Well, you may be the same as us and not the main cause of this project… but does that therefore truly mean you are merely another participator in this game?

Kino: That summons it up nicely. It‘s exactly as you said. I‘m not the game master. I‘m just another player in this.

Ayato: Tch, what the? That doesn‘t make sense.

Kanato: It honestly doesn‘t matter anymore. If he continues irritating me, I‘ll simply cut him into pieces.

Yui: Ah, calm down!

(If Kino-kun is without doubt not the one causing everyone to lose their memories and lose their minds, who else is it… ?)

(I do have the feeling as if he has no reason to lie now that we‘re close to finishing this game… if so, who‘s the real mastermind?)

Kino: I‘m satisfied, you know. If you want to kill me, why not do it now?

Shu: ...I have no intention of doing that.

Ayato: Hah!? Why not!?

Subaru: Wasn‘t he the one who tried killing all of us!?

Kanato: If we leave him alone, he might go ahead and decide to do something again.

Laito: Wouldn‘t it honestly be better if we settle things now before he might go off trying to attack us again?

Shu: ...That‘s not the end of this talk yet. He has been in the same position as we were the entire time after all.

He surely had no intention of being manipulated, and only wanted to have his wish granted by that old man himself.

Just a little while ago, even we had similar thoughts. Someone killing somebody else wouldn‘t have been a surprise at this point.

Ayato: That‘s… um...

Shu: It would be wrong dealing with this guy. If we seriously want to bring this all to an end, we first of all have to grab our old man by the nape of his neck.

Laito: By any means, I‘m not willing to take this guy along.

But well, if our older brother decides to do so, I won‘t protest against it.

Subaru: Tch… I‘d be more refreshed if he died.

Yui: Shu-san...

Shu: Moreover, it doesn‘t matter if you hate each other by now.

Yui: I agree… it‘s now all about stopping brothers from trying to kill each other.

Shu: Exactly. It would get even more troublesome if we didn‘t… so we have to do this.

Reiji: We are having a poor endgame, as usual.

However, I do approve your opinion on this matter this time.

Shu: Heh, how rare. So miracles do happen.

Reiji: It appears like that. Be careful in case you bump into another one in the future.

Yui: (It really feels as if the tie between Shu-san and him has sort of untied itself for the first time in a while…)

Shu: ...What‘s it? What are you smiling for?

Yui: Don‘t worry, it‘s nothing to be concerned about.

(There actually were a lot of things I was able to smile about, despite being in this awful situation)

(It kind of feels as if everyone gained something out of being here… I almost have a certain feeling about that)

Kino: Haa… we haven‘t achieved anything.

Your face looks as if this case is closed for you, but the fight for becoming the supreme ruler isn‘t done yet, you know?

Yui: Nn, I know. The killing will only stop once all of them have their memories back… !

Laito: Have them regain their memories, hm? I should know since I was staying in the same mansion, but Carla doesn‘t even seem as if he wants to regain them.

In order to become the king, he even said he would kill his own siblings if it was necessary.

Kanato: Ruki wouldn‘t bother listening to us either. This man had such unpleasant manners of speaking, except when asking about the goal he has.

Shu: It‘s almost kind of a miracle these guys haven‘t even experienced their memories coming back even slightly. It might be difficult to get those guys out of here like that.

Reiji: They would have to come hither. Perhaps if we could persuade all of them, we could come up with a profitable plan...

Yui: Well then, why don‘t we try that… ?

Kino: Ahha, you‘re dawdling… as if they‘re indecisive people coming upon request like you guys.

Ayato: Hah!? What was that!?

Yui: Ayato-kun, calm down!

Kino-kun, do you know what we could do next then?

Kino: I do. Unlike you, I straightforwardly collected information about this place.

Those would be the results of my own investigations, but this surely must be a space created by someone. It seems to be a miniature garden that‘s built by magical powers.

Subaru: Miniature garden… ?

Yui: If I got this right, then this is supposed to be a closed space? Does that mean it‘s impossible to get out of here… ?

Kino: It would seem like it.

Kanato: This is not funny if it‘s supposed to be a joke. I certainly have no intention of overstaying longer in this space, and I will reject staying here.

Kino: I‘m probably not able to endure a life with only some sort of half-baked entertainment either. Therefore I‘m willing to tell you something.

We participated in this game in order to have a king being chosen. If so, there clearly must be some sort of method to get out of here, don‘t you think?

Yui: Nn, does that really mean there must be a way to get out of here?

Kino: I‘d say so. Only if my predictions are right, that is.

Shu: And what sort of method did you think of?

Kino: ...The legend of the sleeping beauty.

Yui: Eh… ?

Kino: The sleeping princess must be awaken with a kiss. Did you already forget about this legend?

Yui: I do remember it… but how is this supposed to help us?

Kino: Who knows? I might‘ve just looked too deep into it.

Yui: S-Such...

(The legend of the sleeping princess? Does he really mean the way the sleeping Eve was supposed to be woken up in the church?)

(If that‘s true, it‘s definitely worth investigating)

Shu: The sleeping princess… she was sleeping in the church, and supposed to be awaken with a kiss—

...Hey, we‘re heading to the church right away. Just you and me.

Yui: Eh, why so suddenly?

Shu: I think I‘ve came up with an idea. Reiji, I‘ll entrust these guys to you once again.

Reiji: Understood. Please be careful on your way there.

Shu: Let‘s go!

Yui: Y-Yes!

Place: Church — Inside

Yui: (This place has a calm atmosphere. It somehow feels as if it only has this sort of special feeling in here)

Shu: So this is the church...

Yui: Ah, this is the first time you‘ve come inside here, right? I mean, this is only the second time I came to this place too.

After I woke up in this world, everything started...

Shu: I know you already told me about that, but nobody woke you up with a kiss, right?

Yui: A-As I said, nobody did that. I woke up naturally, and after I did that Reiji-san and everyone else rushed in.

Shu: If that‘s the case, I‘ll immediately try out the value of your words.

Say, if all of us really had fake memories planted in our heads, and all of this only in order to have someone become the supreme ruler.

If it‘s really like that, wouldn‘t you say that‘s unnatural?

Yui: Eh? What exactly is unnatural?

Shu: If everything in this world was set up to be fake, why create a legend about a sleeping princess as a necessary motive?

Yui: Talking about this… how come people are able to fight for the supreme ruler position without even knowing this story?

There must be a specific reason for everyone to have transplanted these sorts of memories in their minds.

Shu: It was said that Eve would be sleeping in this church, and could only wake up by a kiss.

What if all of this is supposed to merely be a bad dream we have to wake up from like this?

Yui: Ah… !

Shu: It‘s worth trying it out. We have no choice but to try this method in order to get out of this place.

Yui: No, you‘re right… we won‘t be able to know for sure unless we try it out.

It‘s just as Kino-kun told us. The one who became the supreme ruler also became Adam… this is merely another fight to question if Adam and Eve will stay together.

As long as we can prove that the both of us were able to stay together, we will undoubtedly be able to end this fight.

Shu: If so, let‘s wake up.

*Shu comes closer*

Yui: (I can clearly see my reflection in Shu-san‘s eyes)

(He seriously has tender eyes… I can tell how loveable he is only by looking at his eyes—)

Shu: ...There‘s no particular need for soliloquy anymore. You‘re the only one able to hear me saying this after all.

Yui: Eh?

Shu: The role and responsibilities I bear as the eldest son, they‘ve been gravely troublesome to accept.

However, my body seemed as if it indelibly ingrained the fact that my way of life is for me to protect them as eldest brother.

I must‘ve understood it ever since I came here.

Good grief, how troublesome. It was awfully tiresome and difficult to protect them, although they gave off quite the speech.

Yui: That must‘ve been because Shu-san has a strong sense of responsibility. You tried to manage all of this by yourself.

But I‘m greatly willing to carry half of the burden you‘ve carried with you. From now on, the whole time...

*Shu blushes*

Shu: What, is this supposed to be a proposal? Isn‘t that kind of a thing supposed to come from the man?

Yui: Fufu… you can still say it.

Shu: Unless you tell me to do so, I‘d never let myself get separated from you either.

Continue staying near me after this. Whatever happens, come along with me.

Yui: Yes, of course… Shu-san.

Shu: Promise it… Yui.

*Shu kisses Yui*

When Past and Present meet Chapter 4

Chapter under the cut for spicy reasons

Divine.

That's the only word she could think of to describe the feeling of being with Jack again.

„Come on", he murmured into her shoulder. „You've had a long day, and this bed is big enough for two."

She chuckled. „You'll have to let go of me first, so I can get out of my uniform."

With a small grumble, he let go. „Fine, but don't be too long."

She shed the dress so quickly, she almost ripped it in the process. Then she crawled under the covers next to him, back into his eagerly waiting arms. Jack let out a pleased hum. „That's much better. Your skin is as soft as I remember, my dear." As if to emphasize his words, he let his fingers glide across her body, from her shoulders over her breasts, waist and finally to the hem of her smallclothes.

„What about you?", she asked softly. „You're way too dressed for my taste." Then she ripped open his nightshirt, sending its tacky golden buttons flying through the room.  She had never paid much attention to how Reaver was built, even when sleeping with him. But now that his body housed Jack, she found that he looked absolutely delightful. He was muscular, but still very slim. The graceful physique of someone who valued precision over brute strength. His skin was deathly pale and without any marks; no scars, no bumps, nothing. And now, he was truly perfect. She wrapped her arms around his torso, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of skin on skin, his heartbeat right next to her ear. 

„Sleep, my love", Jack whispered to her, running his fingers through her hair. „You are exhausted."

„...don't want to…", she mumbled. How could she explain to him that she didn‘t want to miss a single second of his presence, no matter how much sleep tugged at her? That she wanted to hold and kiss and feel him right now? 

His dark chuckle sent a rush of heat straight to her nethers. „Oh? Do I have to tire you out first?" He rolled around so she was on top of him. „Is your desire for me so strong? Or did nobody manage to properly satisfy you during my absence?" His fingers found her most sensitive spot through her undergarments. „Tell me, my sweet. How many nights did you spend fantasizing, touching yourself to the thought of me? Your beautiful, slender fingers drenched in your juices, while you imagined that it was me inside of you?"

„Jack.. oh gods", she gasped, grinding against his hand. It was incredible, how he could bring her so close with just his words and a single finger.

„Tell me", he demanded again. „All of the dirty things that went through your pretty little head while you played with yourself. I want to know every little detail."

She scoured her memories for any of her fantasies, but Jack teasing her clit was making thinking quite difficult. „I-I imagined myself tied down, yours to do with as you pleased… t-teasing me until I was b-begging you to take me. A-and I l-loved the idea of being helpless… at your mercy… and imagining all of the things you would do to me…" His breathing quickened and so did the

movement of his hand between her legs. „I-it made me so wet. T-the idea of being your little toy.“

„Tied up and helpless, hm? So lewd…"

„Jack please", she whimpered. „I need you so bad."

„Do you now?" Another stroke against her clit made her yelp. „Ah yes, I can tell. That needy little body of yours is begging to be filled."

He ripped her underwear like paper, and just the sudden brush of air against her sex almost drove her over the edge.

There was no time to lose. She needed him, right now! She tore at the lacings of his pants until finally, his cock jumped out at her, hard and ready. As soon as she positioned his tip against her entrance, he grabbed her hips and slammed her down, hitting that sweet spot deep within her.

Her lustful scream seemed almost inhuman.

„I love this“, he said hoarsely and began to guide her waist. „Your screams are music to my ears.“

She followed his movement, riding him, but the previous stimulation didn‘t leave her with much energy. „Jack, I‘m close...“

„Then come!“

Her movement became more erratic, the tension building in her abdomen, her vision growing hazy. The orgasm tore through her like a tidal wave, she tensed up and then sank down on him. Now he turned her around so he was on top, and continued; shallow, sloppy thrusts igniting her anew.

„Jack“, she groaned, wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed his mask. „Deeper!“

„So greedy...“ He lifted her hips and buried himself in her all the way down to the hilt. „But oh you feel so amazing!“

He picked up more speed, and with a few last, deep thrusts, he spilled himself inside of her. There was a smirk in his voice when he said:„You have no idea how much I have missed this, my sweet.“

Sleep was already gripping her, so all she could muster was a quiet „Imissedyoutoo“ before dozing off.

In the morning, she at first almost believed that she had dreamed it all. She was alone in the bed, and after a moment of regaining her orientation, she found Jack standing in front of Reaver‘s huge wardrobe, butt naked, going through his many, many clothes, but rejecting each outfit with a dismissive snarl.

„Is this really what people are wearing nowadays?“, he asked, holding up one of Reaver‘s most expensive coats as if it was something extremely repulsive.

„Since when are you so picky about clothes?“, she asked.

Jack was just about to answer, when he was, once again, interrupted by a knock on the door.

„Master Reaver? I can‘t find Daphne anywhere, I fear she-“ Barry stopped when he saw the scene in front of him. He squinted. „Master Reaver?“

Jack scoffed quietly and turned his attention to his wardrobe again. „Your Master Reaver is dead.“

Barry‘s mismatched eyes wandered over to her. „Daphne? Explain?“

„It‘s kind of a long story“, she began. „How about I get dressed and we go into the kitchen. Get ourselves some breakfast. And then I can explain everything to you.“

„Is it really necessary for you to be fraternizing with a mortal like this, my dear?“, Jack asked, slightly annoyed.

„Hey, be nice to him, yeah? Barry is the closest thing to a friend I‘ve had in centuries, and probably the only thing that kept me sane during the past five years.“

Jack huffed. „If you say so. Then go explain everything to him while I try to find something actually decent in this idiot‘s wardrobe.“

„What the hell just happened“, Barry asked as soon as they were out of earshot. „Who is this? Why does he look like Master Reaver? What HAPPENED to Master Reaver? And most importantly: What does that mean for us?“

„Us...“ she hummed quietly. „You can stay as a servant, if you want. Jack will treat you a lot better than Reaver ever did, I‘ll make sure of that. Or you can leave, and find work elsewhere.“

„That doesn‘t answer my other questions, Daphne.“

She took a deep breath. „Do you know the story of Jack of Blades?“

Barry only gave her a blank look. „Jack of Blades? The guy from that old legend, who tried to destroy Albion but was killed by the King‘s ancestor?“

„Not killed, just… incapacitated“, she corrected him. „Yeah. That one.“

„What about him?“

„You just met him.“

Barry quickly looked towards the bedroom, then back at her. „You‘re kidding.“

„Do I look like I am? The mask I bought held Jack‘s soul. I knew that from the beginning. He is the loved one I talked about in the tavern.“

„That‘s insane. That would mean that you‘re even older than Master Reaver!“

„I am, by a good century“, she replied. „I don‘t know how he did it, but Jack made me immortal back then, when I officially became his lover. So I could be with him forever.“

Barry obviously needed a moment to process that information. „And Master Reaver? What happened to him?“

„Dead, I assume. His body is Jack‘s now.“ She raised an eyebrow. „Does that bother you?“

He stared straight ahead. „I don‘t know. I never thought about what it would be like to live without Master Reaver.“ Then he looked at her again. „And you? Are you going to continue being a maid here?“

„I don‘t think so“, she said. „No idea what the future will hold. If Jack will even stay here. He never cared much about money or luxuries. And if he leaves, I will leave with him.“

„You‘d follow him anywhere, would you?“ Was she hallucinating, or was there a hint of bitterness in his voice?

Still, she answered truthfully. „Anywhere, to the end of the world, to hell and back, even beyond this plane of existence.“

He took a deep breath. „Well, if you two decide to stay, then I go on doing what I‘m always doing; serving the man of the house. And for the first time ever, the lady of the house as well.“

She patted him on the back with a fond smile. „Thank you for understanding me, Barry.“

With a somewhat agreeable mumble, he changed the subject:„So, we… I should probably get breakfast ready for Master R… Master Jack.“

„Oh, Jack doesn‘t eat.“

Barry shot her a surprised look. „Okay. Pity about all of the food in the pantry, though.“

„I mean… Jack not eating just means that you and the other servants can help yourselves to your heart‘s content. I know I will.“

„You can do that because you‘re the lady of the house now.“

„Yes, and as the lady of the house, I give you and the rest of the staff permission to help yourselves to whatever you want.“

They went on bickering all the way down to the kitchen.

I haven't read the books yet, can you explain what you mean with transgender politics in Blood of Elves? 🥺

whats happening is basically triss merigold visiting the witchers at kaer morhen because they asked her to come help them out, because geralt brought ciri after the whole surprise stuff, so they train her to be a witcher. thats kind of cool actually because that makes her the first girl to ever be trained there, even though they aren‘t (planning on?) putting her through the mutations.

anyways the point is that because she‘s also really special because she‘s magic and stuff, they ask triss (who‘s a magician) to check her out. so then triss comes out and says ‚what the fuck did you do to her she‘s all bruised up‘ and the witchers go ‚???? wym we‘re training her like we would a boy‘ so she goes to ciri and ciri is like ‚i love being trained like this, but it‘s hard because of things (her period) can you, a magician, please make me a boy so i can train even better, pretty please??‘

so triss absolutely loses her shit and goes back to the witchers and is like ‚are you INSANE shes a GIRL stop putting her through HRT with your weird witcher herb mixtures she‘s literally menstruating right now and also if she keeps drinking your fucking infused water she will Literally Not Grow Boobs and she will be shit mad at you‘ and all the witchers go :0 oh no! so now they realise that ciri is still a ✨princess✨ because now she wears a dress whenever she‘s on her period

and the whole thing is so. fucking weird like maybe it‘s supposed to be humorous but. the way this book is written is that it‘s extremely elaborate in very small details (like the 15 pages of extremely unlikable people discussing their individual beliefs and which legends are true and which are not under a huge oak tree) and then there‘s this, which feels forced and cramped and clumsy, which makes you feel like they just wanted to adress that even though ciri fights like a boy, shes still a girl!! a very womanly girl, and very girly woman with strong arms but in a princess way, and her saying that she wants to be a boy is just that she doesn‘t know any better

like maybe i‘m reading too much into this with way too little knowledge of it all. however ciri literally states that she wants to be a boy. like. if this wasnt supposed to come off like that she literally didn’t need to say that. idk whatever i guess its just kind of a bold move to put something that badly executed in there

[thechampagnelovers]

I am not even gonna lie, when I got into One Direction I was literally 11 years old. I didn‘t really tell anybody but I thought their music just slapped. Like I would pretend to not know every single word to WMYB in front of my brother (because he‘s older and that automatically means they have an unspoken right to bully you 😔) but I was just so into it. I hate to admit it but I am one of those people who got Harry‘s audition reccomended and I fell into a hole a month after they got formed. But what 100% got me to stay and to love them was the way they presented themselves as a band and as individuals. I mean I am not going to rip open all the details because you summed it up quite well and I feel it is a general notion in this fandom that we truly appreciate them for who they are but yeah I care for them exactly because of that and that is also the reason I am still here 10 years later. Which is absolutely bonkers to me, as I am loyal to things I like but when I think about all the obsessions I had when I grew up... the way they are is the only reason I can think of when I ask myself why I stuck with them through and through.

I can definitely see where you are coming from with the album. I mean to this day I sometimes listen to Icarus Falls and I am like oh damn I totally forgot this existed but it is SO good. So I think you‘ve got a point there. I‘d like to see something energetic from him! Maybe the next single? 👀 I got the Nobody Is Listening sweater because it just spoke to me and I love black on red so so much. I thought I deserved something nice too, I feel better about it thank you! Ohh and it‘s the 22nd so still a bit of time but it was a pre-order thing anyway that gets shipped in Februrary so I thought why not?

I think you have good arguments on that point! I am just a bit disappointed sometimes that I bought in to the narrative at times and sometimes I didn‘t grasp what was going on. I mean to be fair I was always really respectful of or tried to be at least but granted I was 11-16 I don‘t think I got half of it to be honest. For me it was always light and fun. And it still is I am just more aware. So yes I don‘t neccessarily think it is bad and appreciate that I comprehend a lot if it differently now but sometimes I still get mixed feelings about it...

I am not sure about the break! I think he just said he would be away a while... I can’t imagine it being anything to worry about! Oh my goddd this is so long again and it isn‘t even over. I am so sorry to your followers! Maybe I should split these up even more haha x

okay, it’s getting more and more scarier how similar we are. i was also 11-12 when i got into their music and 10 years later, after so many childhood obsessions and crushes, here we are, still strong dsfjkshkj and i think you summed up the reasons perfectly. also that little story about your brother made me smile so much like djjskj how cute is that lol 

i loooove hearing about each fan’s experiences on how they got into the fandom, it’s so cute <3 

the 22nd is not that far away, hopefully it’ll arrive for your bday! 

ugh, the mixed feelings, i get what you mean. i take fandom lightly and fun, it’s my safe space to have fun and disconnect, but if looking deeper into the “drama”and the “tea” makes you feel weird, then you shouldn’t. no one is forcing you. you’re suppossed to have fun here, it’s not mandatory to be “aware” of everything going on (because tbh no one is completely aware of every little detail, and the people who are, they’re insane). me myself ignore a lot of shit because i choose to, and that doesn’t make me any less of a fan, or anyone for that matter. i think it’s also a part of growing up, seeing the world in a different perspective and finding out things are not like they seem :/ but always remember you have control over how you want to enjoy the boys and their music and how do you want to engage with the fandom

to all my mutuals and followers who have to scroll endlessly through this asks..... sorry dskjfdjksfjsk nony make them as long as you want!!! don’t apologize <3

Pied Piper Best Of Me Wings

This one‘s for you @taechimwithsuga 💜✨

Kookie with the Sunflower

Pairing: Jungkook x Reader

Genre: Fluff

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

„Y/N, I‘m very glad to welcome you to our styling-team!“ Your new boss, a fashionable elderly woman said with a bright smile revealing a perfect set of teeth. Today was your first day as a personal stylist at an entertainment company and you were very excited.

„I‘m happy to work with you as well.“

Your boss led you through the building showing you everything you’d need to do your job. The location would change frequently because you were working with a band consisting of seven members. You still had no idea what the band name was due to security purposes and you were actually quite nervous to meet them.

„So, I think it‘s time to introduce you to the band members“, she finally spoke and led you upstairs where the dance studios were. You could already hear the loud music and feet stomping from outside, voices of young men laughing and screaming over the noise. Taking a deep breath you opened the door and entered the studio with your boss right behind you.

Jimin was the first one to spot you standing by the door awkwardly and his chin almost dropped to the floor.

„Y/N?!“, he yelled causing everyone‘s heads to turn your way with a confused look. Jimin couldn‘t believe his eyes and you couldn‘t either. Last time you‘d seen him he was just a little teenager in Busan with big dreams, on his way to Seoul. Ever since then you hadn‘t heard much from him except of course that he had actually managed to fulfill his dreams. He strode over to you and pulled you into a tight hug telling you how much he‘d missed you. Embracing the familiar touch you closed your eyes to reminisce the good old times you‘d shared.

The memories although, made you open your eyes quickly again to search for another face you‘d expected to see.

You could feel his eyes already burning into your skin as you looked over Jimin‘s shoulder. Jungkook was standing there with a water bottle in his hand watching you with a blank face. You smiled at him realizing how much he‘d grown over the past six years.

Had he always looked that handsome covered in sweat?

You let your eyes wander across his face drinking in the details and the unfamiliar feeling that crept into your heart by the sight. You had to remind yourself who he actually was to finally tear your eyes away from him.

Six Years Ago

„Y/N? Can I ask you something?“, Jungkook turned to look at you with a look you couldn‘t quite read. It was longing and full of hope but also a little scared.

„Do you think I will make it?“

He didn‘t have to explain for you to understand exactly what he was pointing at. His dream of becoming an artist had always intimidated him.

The decision to leave everything behind to pursue your dreams was a big step for a 15-year-old boy but you admired his will power for taking that risk.

„It may be a hard path to walk on but if anyone can make it, you can, Kookie. I believe in you“, you said with a smile watching the younger do the same as he slowly gained back his confidence.

„I love you, Y/N.“

Jungkook said straightforward and pulled out a sunflower from behind his back holding it out for you to take. His doe eyes were staring at you full of hope and you couldn‘t bring yourself up to reject him. He was still a little kid and knew nothing about love and you just didn‘t feel the same for him.

„Kookie...“, you started but got cut off by the younger.

„I know you don‘t feel the same way...“, his voice was merely a whisper while he was still holding out the flower in his hand. You took it admiring the beautiful flower as you desperately tried to find the right words to say.

„I‘m sorry, Kookie. Maybe our paths will cross again when we‘re both a little older. You never know...“

You remembered the day he had confessed to you and the way you had thought there would never be another chance.

So why was little Kookie making your heart beat like crazy with just one look now?

Finally, Jimin let you go and turned towards Jungkook who was still staring at you like you were some kind of prey he was about to hunt down. He noticed the way your cheeks had turned a shade darker and with a smirk he walked over to you smoothly. His arms wrapped gently around you giving you a tight hug that sent shivers down your spine. He didn‘t even touch your skin but you were already breathless and when he looked into your eyes you could swear you were looking right at the night sky.

Jimin introduced you to the rest of his friends and soon they all continued their practice as you stood there watching the routine with a mesmerizing look on your face. They were all so talented but you couldn‘t help the way your eyes always drifted towards the boy wearing all in black. Sweaty strands of hair were sticking to his shiny forehead as he moved his body skillfully to the upbeat song blasting from the speakers. His eyes also never left yours and he kept you rooted on your spot with a knowing smirk always on his lips which was slowly driving you insane.

„Y/N, I think we‘ve seen enough.“

Only then you realized that your boss was still standing next to you. Nodding, you both turned around to leave the studio but you could feel his eyes burning into your back as you closed the door behind you again. With a sigh of relief, you continued your little tour around the building.

For the rest of the day, you couldn‘t think of anything else than the incident at the studio. You were surprised how much Jungkook had grown up and even more surprised of yourself and the strange way you had reacted to him. But you kept on reminding the good old times and you were convinced that nothing had changed at all.

The next day you walked onto the set of their new music video with both arms fully loaded with different types of equipment and make-up utensils. People were rushing from one end to the other fixing everything for the shooting as you tried not to crash into someone.

You spotted your colleagues already busy with the boys preparing them for the video shoot, racks of clothes being pushed from side to side as they helped them put their outfits on properly. Everyone was talking simultaneously and the sound of laughter could be heard whenever one of them, mostly Seokjin, cracked a joke. You put down your stuff with a sigh shaking your arms to relax your muscles as your boss rushed to you with a stressed look.

„Y/N, where have you been? We need your help with the youngest. Go, go, go!“ Without another word, she was gone already and you looked around not being able to find Jungkook anywhere in the chaos. Great, you thought as you moved around the racks of clothes searching for him everywhere.

„Seventy... seventy-one...“, you could hear someone breathing out behind the last rack and you moved around it only to find Jungkook on the floor, shirtless with sweats on doing push-ups. His back muscles were too tempting to just stand there and watch him work out but he had to get ready and you were running out of time.

„Jungkook? You have to get dressed!“ Your soft voice made him stop in his tracks and suddenly he was standing in front of you looking down at you with the same blank face again. You took a step back trying to cover your burning cheeks but it was too late. The annoying smirk was already on his face as you cursed yourself in your mind.

He stared at you wordlessly before letting out a low chuckle and turning towards the clothes hanging from the racks to pick out his outfit. His back was facing you when he put on his black suit and you didn‘t even dare to step closer to fix his collar.

„How long are you going to just stand there?“

His deep voice had you weak in your knees and you feared that you would collapse if you took just one step into his direction.

When you didn‘t answer he looked over his shoulder raising his brows. You woke up from your trance and finally stepped closer to help him with his outfit. When everything was in place finally, you motioned him to sit down on the folding stool as you tried to ignore the way his toned muscles looked in the well-tailored suit.

Jungkook sat down on the stool facing you as he stared straight into your eyes without an ounce of doubt or insecurity. The shy little boy you used to know was nowhere to be found and instead you were looking at a confident young man. Suddenly you felt really proud of the way Jungkook had turned out and you were happy that he had found his place in this world.

You hastily started your work and were soon so immersed in your own world that you blended everything else out. Jungkook kept looking at you enjoying the concentrated look on your face. He had always loved the way you could shut out the whole world when you were passionate about something and he was glad to see that it hadn‘t changed over the six years he‘d missed with you.

„Kookie, stop moving, I can‘t work like this!“, you scolded him only to realize what you had just said. With a gasp, you closed your mouth and stared at him with wide eyes apologizing over and over again. You were so immersed in your work that you had dropped the formalities. Something you were strictly forbidden as just a stylist.

Jungkook‘s eyes, on the other hand, were sparkling with so much joy that your heart was about to combust.

„No! Don‘t be sorry, Y/N...“, he quickly said to reassure you staring into your eyes intently.

Had his eyes always sparkled the way they did at the moment?

Shaking off the traitorous thoughts you continued your work not focusing on the way his eyes were still following your every move with a curious look.

„Am I old enough now?“

You stopped in your tracks looking right into his big doe eyes and for a split second, you could see little Kookie with the sunflower in front of you again. But your heart was beating way faster than it did six years ago and you knew exactly what was going on.

Straightening up you gave him a confused look which brought out the familiar smirk back to his face.

„You know what I mean Y/N...“, he spoke lowly sending shivers down your spine as he leaned forward to stare into your eyes.

„Go out with me.“

You couldn‘t move for what felt like an eternity as you stood there staring into his dark eyes. A part of you was still skeptical about the invitation but your heart jumped out of joy and you couldn‘t deny it.

Still, you didn‘t want to give in that easily and you wanted to slap that smirk off of his face.

So you stood there looking like you were contemplating whether or not you should take the invitation and you could see the way Jungkook was growing more and more impatient and nervous.

„Come on, Y/N! Just one date. I know you like me too!“

You liked the now desperate tone he had in his voice after trying to come off like he owned the world. Now you were the one who had a playful smirk on your lips as he anxiously waited for your final answer.

However, you couldn‘t resist those doe eyes for too long and so you finally gave in nodding with a genuine smile, agreeing to go out on a date with him.

„I can‘t believe it took me six years to finally get a chance with you, Y/N.“¨

Conflicting Emotions

Fandom: Avengers Pairing: Pietro Maximoff x Male!Reader Summary: Sometimes it’s better not to assume. Prompt: 60 - “I can’t believe you mistook a crush for intense hatred, what the fuck?” Words Count:1819 Warning: Swearing Author note: I tried and I can’t write their accents so you gotta imagine that but this was requested by @spicyveganfun

You had known Wanda since she had come to America, you had literally run into her while trying to escape the feeling of awkwardness. See you had powers, you rather not go into details in how you got them but you preferred to keep to yourself. Whatever the Avengers did, you did not want any part of. Plus, what can a little empathic magician like you can do on a battlefield?

Anyway, Wanda Maximoff had a connection with you, and it wasn’t any way that type of connection. It was rather a nice protective connection between you two, so you offered her a choice. It was no secret that she had some witchy magic and it wasn’t far from the powers you held accountably. So you offered if she wanted someone to help her control it or keep their relationship strictly to friends only. 

She picked both.

She felt comfortable in your presences, better than the loud Avenger tower. Your little flat was cosy and quiet, it helped her focused. You grew to become best friends, you helped her adapt to her new home and her powers while she talked about the daily nonsense in the tower.

That’s when you found fondness on her brother. Wanda loved her brothers to bits and talked fondly of him - making you slowly develop a crush on him. 

“Everyone is asking to meet you,” Wanda states, walking into your little apartment without knocking.

You stuck your head out of the kitchen and noticing that Wanda had sat down, o having woken up you were quite dazed, “Good morning to you.”

“(Y/N), it’s noon?” 

You shrugged, stirring your coffee and sitting on the armchair looking at her, “Why? Did you talk about me at the tower.”

“Oh yes, definitely!” Wanda beamed, as you gave her a disapproving look, “It only came out because my idiot brother stole my phone and told everyone I had a boyfriend.”

“Don’t you like that android guy? What’s his name?”

“Vision.”

You simply waved, not caring, as you took a gulp of coffee and sighed contently, “What did you say about me?”

“Don’t worry about it, all good stuff.” You nodded approvingly, but Wanda looked hesitant, “I may have also told them about you helping with my powers and that you may have them?”

Luckily you had not been drinking or it would have gone everywhere, “YOU WHAT?”

“I know, I know!” She stood up the same time as you did, “They just want to meet you, I promised you that I mentioned that you don’t want anything to do with them.”

“And what? They just nodded and smile, agreeing with what you had said?” You looked at her, hands at your hips, “SHIELD, Avengers, whatever…They’ll do anything to convince me.”

“And you’re hard to convince and please,” Wanda reasoned, “Plus, I think they were suggesting to help me out at the Tower, rather than here. It has more space.” 

You narrowed your eyes, “Fine, but if they say I should join the team I’m not gonna give in. Now when are they meeting me?”

Wanda nodded and clapped, happy with your answer, “Tonight, nothing dressy I said, since you hate dressing up, so we’ve agreed on a simple meal at the tower.”

You huffed annoyed, you rather stay in your bed and watch the world past but here you were, linking arms with Wanda as you walked down the streets of New York City. 

“So, my brother…” Wanda laughs out a little, giving you suggestive eyebrow wiggle, “I know you like him!”

You looked quite concern and panicked, “I do not!”

Wanda gives you a look before dragging you into the tower and into the elevator, as she hits one of the top numbers. You suddenly felt two different emotions, nervousness and excitement. You’d like to believe that your feeling was excitement.

“Are you nervous or is that me?” Your questions, quietly huffing out a breath when Wanda shakes her head indicating that it is not her. “Well, can you be nice to me for once and say you are nervous.”

Wanda laughs, with a small smile, “They’ll love you, don’t worry.”

As the elevator continues to ascend, you continue to feel way too many emotions to comprehend, you used to blocking out too many emotion but it was a small crowd, somehow a small crowd of emotions affected you more since it amplified every single one.

Wanda held your hand, noticing you had fallen silent.

Everything suddenly felt draining, your body was pulled into different ways of emotion. Excitement, happiness, annoyance, nervousness, wariness were the few of emotion you currently tried to control. The doors opened and you were invited by many famous faces.

“Ah! There they are!” Tony exclaimed, alcohol at hand with a charming smile.

You froze, your mind cannot handle emotions trying to outdo each other. Wanda noticed, pulling you into the room. 

“You’re overwhelming him…”

“Of what? He’s only been here for five seconds.”

You looked at the direction of the voice, holding a similar accent as the girl beside you. There you found a handsome man with silver hair, as great he was to look at you could feel hatred in his direction. 

“Your emotions,” You finally spoke, informing Wanda’s brother and everyone else, “I can feel them like they’re my own, it’s not helping that I can’t differentiate which are mine and who’s who. All your emotions are trying to outdo each other, it’s overbearing.”

“Interesting…” You turn to look at a man with glasses, a warm smile planted on his face. You knew that was the famous scientist, Dr Bruce Banner, “By any chance can you manipulate emotions?”

“Yes,” You nodded, everyone, looking in curiosity, “Not often, I mostly do it when emotions have taken a dip in health. I try to make things positive, not only it benefits them but me too.”

You smile as you felt some emotion draw into calmer effect. You were suddenly taken in by warm inviting arms as the band of heroes made you comfortable. You soon were laughing and bonding with the world’s mightiest heroes. 

Yet the night was young and every time you looked at the silver-haired man, you felt hatred. If affected you badly, not like you wanted to admit, Wanda spoke so fondly of him making you fancy the man. But, he is nothing but cold to you.

You left the dinner with a smile and you were allowed to visit them whenever. You were over the moon but every glance at Pietro you couldn’t help but want to not come back. 

“He hates me.”

“He doesn’t, I mean you’re one funny guy. There is nothing of you that is displeasing!” Wanda spoke, hugging you good night as a cab pulls up, “Maybe stop focusing on emotions and feel, don’t experience.” 

You couldn’t help but think what Wanda had said, but anytime you came to the tower to hang around or help Wanda, Pietro would avoid you completely. You enter the room, he tries to leave discreetly. 

He hardly talks to you, and if he did it was either simply it was a small request or he was in a conversation with another avenger without feeling immense hatred in your direction. 

Yet, you were determined not to let it get to you. Days become weeks, weeks became months. You were constantly there with a smile, helping around the tower and generally calming the rowdiness. 

Pietro was driving crazy, he hadn’t had a full one to one conversation with you. It was a pity because he watched from afar how helpful you were around the tower whether it was with Wanda or simply cooking for the team, you didn’t ask for anything in return.

It wasn’t fair that there you both standing out in the balcony together, facing growing awkwardness. You huffed, turning to look at him with your arms crossed over your chest.

“Why do you hate me?” Pietro looked you, as you continued, “I can feel it, it’s like a second nature whenever you’re around. So what’s your problem with me?”

“I don’t hate you.”

“Oh?” You were surprised, “Then explain why you can barely hold a conversation with me for five minutes or every time I enter you leave.”

Pietro looked nervous, maybe guilty because is that how he looked like? An absolute moron?

“I don’t hate you,” He repeated, “It’s the opposite, really…”

You froze, your breath caught up in your throat, “What?”

“I like you, a lot. I just thought that getting away from you and not hanging around with you much would prevent you from experiencing what I feel, it’s like everything is against my favour. You can feel what I feel but I can’t feel yours.”

You stood mutely at him, watching him fully turn to look at you, yet his eyes travelled anywhere but your eyes. The cocky boy you used to watch in the distance suddenly flushed away.

“Everything about you drives me insane, in a good way. You’re this hilarious guy, whose kind and selfless yet wants nothing to do with superheroes but so involved with them.” He finally meets your gaze, “Listen, just forget this ever happened.”

He disappeared into the tower before you bolted into Wanda’s room and explained the whole situation. You paced the room as Wanda looked very amused and confused. 

“I can’t believe you mistook a crush for intense hatred, what the fuck?”

“Shut up!” You blushed, “What am I going to do?”

“Well, you still like him. Just ask him out.”

“Just asking him out?” You stopped, looking at her, “That’s sound easier than done! He’ll think it‘s out of pity!”

“Then confess, in that way, he’ll believe you.”

You managed to get him alone, again. He fidgets under your stare before sighing. 

“I like you too, in that way.” You started, making the man looked at you shocked, “Believe it or not, Wanda spoke fondly of you and I fell for a man I never met.”

“Really?”

You nodded, “But pushed me away, it just amplified my interest and, honestly, you drove me insane. Believe it or not Pietro, I found you as this laid back guy who cares about nothing yet everything. You care about your sister and pretend you don’t care for your team. What I’m saying that I like you too, and I want to give us a shot so will you allow me to take you out for dinner?”

“What?” He stood there dumbly, he was full of joy that you confessed.

“A date with me, tomorrow. You don’t have to say yes or-”

“Yes, I’ll go out with you.” He smiled, as you felt butterflies in your stomach, “Maybe we can start on a clean state. For bigger and better things right?” 

You smiled, cheeks high up as crinkles started to form around your eyes, feeling his emotion copied yours. You nodded excitedly. 

“For bigger and better things.”

Suggestion O’Clock

As February ends and March begins, here’s a reflection of some things I’ve been listening to and watching. Everybody needs suggestions, take them as you need.

Music: I am a firm believer in Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlists which automatically update themselves based on your listening patterns and what not. The BEST place to go for some handpicked tunes. However, here are a few I’ve come to love the past month.

• The Neighbourhood’s Hard To Imagine EP: Unlike the last three works they’ve put out, Hard To Imagine is something all it’s own. Very far from I Love You and Wiped Out!, HTI is full of songs that definitely reach outside of the usual boundaries they’d set for themselves. Though I am not a fan of the EP in its entirety, there are a few songs that make it worthwhile. ‘Void’ being in the top spot with that one lyric, “Wonder how I got by this week, only touched you once.” Just feels so smooth. Following in no definite order are Scary Love, Nervous (which dropped 5 days ago), You Get Me So High, and Roll Call. Honorable mention to 24/7 and Sadderdaze- both catchy, but in a way that will get old really fast. If there’s such a thing as dishonorable mention, Dust takes that. I could have gone the whole album without that.

• Sufjan Stevens- Visions of Gideon: Top Spot for WEEKS in the category of “Songs That Will Ruin My Day”. This is one of the most gutwrenching songs for me. So pretty, so smooth, so full of feeling. Sufjan is an artist that has definitely made more waves since the Call Me By Your Name soundtrack’s Oscar nomination he got for “Mystery of Love.” I hate to say that the Academy was wrong, but picking that over Visions of Gideon was nothing but wrong. Seriously, listen to this and tell me you didn’t cry.

• Viola Beach- Call You Up: The song I want to montage videos of myself dancing on a beach at sunset with a bottle of wine to. Definitely that annoying indie sounding voice, but it works for this. Lyrics you’d find in the diary of young people in some summer love. “I’ll call you up in the middle of the night in hopes that you want to hear from me. I just wanna know if you’re feeling alright.” It’s just so CATCHY you just gotta sway your head and hips and close your eyes when you sing it. Has a beachy feel. One of those in the middle sort of songs. Not a breakup song, not a love song. Takes a seat on the harshly drawn middle line. Just give it a listen, I can’t stop playing it in my car because it’s impossible to not sing along to.

• Manchester Orchestra- Colly Strings. I don’t know what they are, but I know this song makes me perform power house vocals in the shower. Definitely something the singer wrote to be specific to himself, but still vague enough to feel like it relates. Simple, heavily lyric focused, not technically impressive at all. Just really plain, but I love it. Listen to this on drives home. “CONFESSEDLY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE LOVED YOU AND GOD, I MEAN IT. GOD, I MEAN IT. I HOPE THAT I MEAN IT. CAUSE LIKE DIANE YOUNG, IDOLS GET THE BEST OF ME. WELL, DONT STOP CALLING- YOURE THE REASON I LOVE LOSING SLEEP.” a... slammer. A true indie king. Strange that I’ve never liked Manchester Orchestra’s other songs.

• The Last Shadow Puppets- Miracle Aligner: IN CASE YOU ARENT AWARE, Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys is the front man of this band. Basically, its Arctic Monkeys music under a different band name. TLSP had Sweet Dreams, Tennessee which I learned about a summer or so ago and loved. How I never found Miracle Aligner baffles me. It’s got that same AM vibe that most of Alex Turner’s work does. Feels a bit like a background song for a 60’s feel good family show. This one’s upbeat for his fashion, but I dig it. Alex Turner is the man I’ve always wanted to meet. I cannot believe he is real. I’ve been convinced he’s sincerely an enigma.

• From the Dining Table- Harry Styles: OKAY, I know it‘s overdue. I didn’t give much listen to Harry’s album because it mimics so many British rock classics so closely that I just.. I didn’t want to. And I’m the biggest one direction stan alive. Sometimes, I cringe at the lyrics. Aside from that, it’s a song I’d fall asleep to and that’s why I like it. It’s something I would sing to put someone to sleep. After a minute and a half we can stop the song because the third verse/bridge/ whatever is so close to resembling Over the Rainbow in my head. Just throw it on your playlist if you’ve not already. I’m sure almost everyone has.

• Jamie T- Magnolia Melancholia: I AM SO MANY THINGS AFTER THIS SONG. First off, Jamie T has been around for a few years, and I’ve always liked some of his stuff. Don’t You Find, and Zombie were two that I definitely was like, huh, this is new. He’s one of those British singers that really actually sounds British. Most of it’s a little more spoken than sung. Anyway, outside of this- magnolia melancholia is very different compared to his other music. Almost similar to Dont You Find, but it’s the only thing close. The song is sincerely just so impactful to me because of the lyrics, but I think it’s a good song overall to have. Like I said, different. “Nice to meet ya, boy, I know your mama knows. I fell in love with her seven thousand summer ago. I was a runner, boy,” just something I think he stripped from my diary and made his own. Definitely really excited to have seen his name come back on my screen and feel something so personal and nostalgic. Really think he’s an underrated artist.

Films: Of course, it’s March when I’m writing this, so the Oscars have come and gone. However, Oscar nominees or not- these are the films I’ve seen, loved, and suggest.

• The Shape of Water- Winner of Best Picture, The Shape of Water is obviously something you look at and say, “Hm, I should probably see that.” TSOW is insanely creative, but there should be nothing less expected from its director. Following a black woman, gay man, and a mute woman’s romance with an amphibian man- it’s definitely up there in terms of diversity. In short, the feel of the film and its tenderness paired with intrinsic visual detail is stimulating in a multitude of ways. You leave the theater feeling something.

• Black Panther- I would literally pay the first person who reads this and hasn’t seen Black Panther $20. I’m pretty sure it’s like... the top grossing movie ever at this point. If you don’t care for superhero movies, just go for the complete bad-assery. And Michael B Jordan. Who I don’t think is a great actor, but I do find him almost as gorgeous as Lupita.

• Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: Another Oscar nominee. Frances McDormand who plays the lead took home best actress while supporting actor went to her co star Sam Rockwell. Really, in all honesty, the thing that I think about when I explain the film is the character arc they gave San Rockwell’s character. Watching this man grow and change throughout the film was impressive both in the acting and the writing.

• Hostiles- ROSAMUND PIKE BEING A BADASS COLONIAL WOMAN!! CHRISTIAN BALE HAVING A GOOD HEART!!! SWEET ENDINGS!!!

• Atonement- Look, I’m just asking you to go on Netflix and add this to your Watch List for an afternoon when you’re laying in bed and want to cry. James McAvoy and Natalie Portman, a heart wrenching love story during war time, but still far more than that.

• The Warriors- We Love A Good 70/80’s film, and this is what that was. Based around gangs and a journey back home, this is full of companionship, unity, wit, and lots and lots of leather vests. (prime)

• Wonderstruck- Ultimately a feel good film that is unlike any other. Complex story line, wonderful depiction, just creative and free. Feels so sweet to see something so pure.

• Captain Fantastic- okay, everything I’ve deemed “creative” is subpar when it comes to Captain Fantastic. Surrounding the theme of family, mental illness, and exclusion- the film depicts a family living off grid with their dad after losing their mother to depression, the following days are full of humorous and heartfelt feats as they attempt to attend their mothers funeral despite the grandfathers wishes. The complete disconnect between the modern world and the world this family lives in puts them at no sort of disadvantage, and the theme of unity and pride of where you come from shines through.

• Blade Runner 2049- Rewatched it. Felt so happy to have my eyes glued to a screen. Genuinely equivalent to being induced into a coma because you’re not leaving your seat. And if you haven’t seen the original Blade Runner- do yourself and Harrison Ford a favor.

• Honorable Mention to Lady Bird, CMBYN, Dunkirk, Phantom Thread, and The Florida Project all of which will be included in an “Oscars in Review” post I have queued for next week

As far as music and movies go, that is a slight look into some of the things February and March have brought thus far. For every time Lauren needs a suggestion, I feel as though it’s necessary to compile a list for whoever else may need it.

In the evening Kagami sat on the couch in her boyfriend‘s bedroom watching along with Hope an animation movie on TV with anthropomorphic wolves having a party together.

„I can‘t sympathize with this movie in someway“ Kagami mentioned. „I don‘t know, why,“

„Don‘t you find Bella looks pretty?“ Hope asked gazing up at the blue-haired woman. „She could be you as a she-wolf“

„Nah, I‘m better off as Ryuko“ Kagami mentioned making the kid giggle.

„You‘re weird. Adrien sure likes“ Hope mentioned making the adult snort at the thought of her boyfriend watching the movie.

„Maybe he‘s okay with it?“ Kagami said and from the bathroom, Adrien walked out heading towards the girls and sat down on the couch next to his sister.

„Did I miss something?“ Adrien asked.

„He likes the movie“ Hope pointed out, then Adrien grabbed the girl and moved closer to his girlfriend and sat the kid on his lap.

„The animation is not bad, except they look more like humans in wolves bodies or so. But if Hope likes it, we can‘t do anything about“

„At least it doesn‘t teach her any bad lessons,“

„I agree“ Adrien answered, then Hope pointed out at a male voice and looked up at her brother.

„And that‘s you,“

„Oh you‘re right, we totally are alike“ Adrien answered holding his arms up showing his small muscles making Hope laugh. Kagami smiled at Adrien‘s comment, the looked at the entrance of the bedroom the door got open and Maria came in followed by the invited visitor Raiden Soto, which widened his eyes in shock at the size of the bedroom.

„I‘ve accompanied Mr. Soto in here if that‘s okay“ Maria announced earning a nod from Kagami.

„Thank you Maria“ Kagami thanked watching the woman leave and Raiden looked up at the room to see the climbing wall inside Adrien‘s room.

„Do you like climbing?“ Adrien asked getting up from the couch to receive the man.

„Climbing isn‘t really my thing“ Raiden answered inspecting the room of the blonde. „Are those all your video games?“ Raiden asked looking at the second floor the shelves with the number of games in it.

„Yes and movie, series, anime“ Adrien answered. „And on the other side are books, comics, mangas, and school books,“

„And you‘re through all of them?“ Raiden asked making Adrien shake his head.

„Nope, also there are games I haven‘t played ever or don‘t even know I had them if someone talks about it“

„Woah“

„I also got there an arcade station and a dance pad“ Adrien mentioned walking towards them along with Raiden and Kagami.

„Hey your cousin likes dancing, doesn‘t she Kagami?“ Raiden asked earning a nod from the girl.

„She‘s been here once“ Kagami mentioned.

„It was a fun day. She spent half of the day there dancing with me while Kagami sat beside watching“ Adrien told earning a nod from his girlfriend. „Man she never gets tired“ „I don‘t think she has one of those in her house in Japan“

„Yes, she said so“ Adrien added then looked at the door to the toilet. „And that‘s the bathroom and over there‘ my desk and the bed“

„You must have had one legendary childhood“ Raiden pointed out, then looked at a line crossing the top of the room, then looked at the end to see a triangle-shaped hold on the end of the line. „That isn‘t a zipline, isn‘t it?“

„Uh it is“ The blonde answered. „But it was boring for me, mostly since I could never had friends here only a few times my cousin Félix from England“

„Why not?“ Raiden asked. „Were people jealous of you or were you home-schooled?“

„I was home-schooled and during the summer vacation, my mother got kidnapped and…..I was recently added to the Françoise Dupont school and my dad warned me he didn‘t want to have me there. I wasn‘t happy about it, but our previous assistant, that was there for us convinced him to change his mind and I finally could go out to school,“

„Oh I didn‘t know your mother got kidnapped,“ Raiden mentioned. „Who was it?“

„Uh it‘s a…...very long and complicated story“ Adrien answered. „It was my cousin‘s father. He had some sick reasons to kidnap her, but after many months I…..the superheroes found out of her whereabouts and it was more complicated and….“

„Which superheroes are you talking about?“ Raiden asked. „I don‘t live as long as Kagami or you here, you know“

„Right sorry“ Adrien apologized. „Years ago people suddenly started to transform into a sort of supervillain from having felt a negative emotion and the person responsible for this was Hawk Moth. He owned a miraculous, which could help him transform people into superheroes, or this case – supervillains and with that he wanted to obtain the most powerful miraculouses in the universe, the ones of….“

„Uh what are miraculouses?“ Raiden asked.

„Well, they are some sort of magical jewelry you wear to turn into a superhero“ Adrien answered, then he felt something sting on the side of his back. „Ouch!“

„You‘re okay?“

„I‘m fine“ Adrien answered to the man, which wasn‘t really convinced about the answer but shrugged his shoulders.

„And what powers do they have?“

„Well…..I don‘t really know it. There were more superheroes over the city. „There was Ladybug, Cat Noir, Ryuko, Miss Vixen, Super Nathan, Viperi….“

„Okay, I just wanted to know the first part, to be able to follow, sorry“

„It‘s okay….so uhm Hawk Moth used his miraculous to sense the people‘s feelings and when he spotted somewhere someone, who was angry, sad or just feeling negative because of something or someone Hawk Moth sends an akuma, that‘s a butterfly, that somehow helped Hawk Moth control the villains and be able to speak to them. This happened for months until the superheroes found out, where Hawk Moth was hidden and why he was doing all this,“

„Was he a known person?“ Raiden asked, then Adrien looked down at the ground and nodded. „Did you know him personally?“

„It was his dad“ Kagami answered in Adrien‘s place. „He did all these mean things just to bring Adrien‘s mother back,“

„He got carried away with all that, that he forgot about me, he never realized he was hurting me or my friends. Now after the whole city knows about what he‘s done, no one trusted him ever again and he saw it too and tried to become a better person, after everything he did. Some accepted him, others not and some won‘t ever do it again“

„Woah…..your dad doesn‘t look like he would do those kinds of things“ Raiden admitted, watching Kagami pat her boyfriend on the shoulder to comfort him.

„And have you two ever been turned into supervillains?“

„I‘ve been turned four times into a supervillain“ Kagami answered. „Adrien I think only one time“

„Yes on the day I knew my father‘s real identity“ Adrien answered.

„And what about you, Kagami?“

„I don‘t remember the first time, the second time I had a rough day and got annoyed as it kept getting worse, the third time another supervillain could help Hawk Moth turn several people into villains at once and the fourth time, was because of his fangirls“

„Oh and when Marc got akumatized we were under his influence acting very strange“ Adrien added. „And with Rose too, Chloé, Chloé‘s butler....“

„Yeah“

„That sounds really insane“ Raiden confessed a little tensed about their stories. „But all you did during the time, do you still remember it?“

„During that time we don‘t remember anything and many other victims have said the same“ Adrien mentioned. „Before most of them know, what could have caused us the negative aura go over us“

„Wow“

„There are lots of information about it on the internet blog named the ladyblog. It‘s partnered with other superhero-themed blogs from the Parisians and you can check out all the details, the missed news and so on“

„In case you‘re interested“ Kagami added. „There is no chance now, that Hawk Moth or someone else goes repeat the same thing again,“

„Thank god, that that‘s over“

„Yeah“ Adrien agreed.

„I didn‘t cause you now some mean thoughts now, because of all that happened?“ Raiden asked looking at Adrien, which shrugged his shoulders.

„No, it‘s just I haven‘t thought about it for years and apparently you bring this back and….the day I found out he was doing all this…..it was frustrating“

„Yeah I believe you…..how can I make you forget this?“

„Just lets us all do something together“ Adrien suggested. „It doesn‘t matter, what“

„Could playing foosball help a bit?“ Raiden suggested earning a nod from Adrien.

„Sure, it helps“ Adrien answered and walked along with Raiden to the foosball table, then they looked at Kagami, which looked at Hope, which lied on the couch almost falling asleep, then Kagami moved the girl on the shoulder waking her up.

„Do you want to go to bed?“ Kagami asked, then the girl sat up and shook her head.

„I‘m not tired yet“ The young girl answered.

„Hey Kagami, join us“ Raiden called. „I want to see, if Adrien can manage two people by himself“

„Can I play?“ Hope asked the blue-haired woman.

„If they‘re okay with it“ Kagami answered looking at the men.

„She can be on my side“ Adrien answered. „Then it will be France against Japan“

„Okay, but don‘t be harsh if you two lose“ Kagami warned making Adrien chuckle.

„Don‘t worry, I will“ Adrien assured, then we went into his bathroom to take Hope‘s step to climb on it and placed it in the middle, so Hope could use the figures in the middle and Adrien took the defensive figures.

„Are we going up to ten?“ Raiden asked earning a nod from Adrien. „Okay, “ He said taking the ball out of the hole, which was connected with the goal from his side and threw the ball into the field and started to fight towards the young Agreste, which tried to hit the ball with her figures.

„Try to hit the goal, Hope you can do it“ Adrien cheered for his young sister, which tried but was blocked by Kagami, which took the defensive lead for the Japanese team.

The Kurtzberg‘s sat together at the dinner table along with Rose and her girlfriend Juleka eating fondue, what Lila had got interested into before.

„How is your baby doing?“ Rose asked gazing at the brunette dunking her bread into the melted cheese.

„He or she is doing fine“ Lila answered. „Our next appointment is next month“

„Will you be able to know the gender then?“ Juleka asked.

„I think that will be in this appointment so far I know“ Lila answered. „I will inform you about it“

„Cool, but won‘t you do a gender-reveal party?“

„I‘m still thinking about it“ Lila answered. „I have a few ideas, but I need to know in the end if everyone can come“

„What are the ideas?“ Nathaniel asked.

„You can‘t know the surprise too. You will know it on the same day as the others“

„But I‘m the dad, that ain‘t fair“ Nathaniel complained.

„Don‘t worry Nath, it‘s like waiting for a new episode of a show you like. It‘s greater if you see it on that specific day than being spoiled with details“ Rose explained the redhead, which nodded at the friend.

„Well saying it that way, it makes sense“ Nathaniel responded.

„You know after these nine months are over, you will be happy to have your little bundle of joy in your arms…..and I want to be the first after you two to hold it, if possible“

„Yes and Lila mostly. I‘m shocked at how quickly the mood changes at some random moments“

„Luka told a lot of times about Marinette“ Juleka mentioned sticking her fork into the cheese along with Nathaniel afterward Nathaniel took out his piece of bread and it felt down into the cheese causing Lila to laugh.

„Oh baby your bread just fell into the cheese!“

„Ahahaha yes“ Nathaniel agreed a little bewildered on how he should act at the moment. „I try to pick it out“

„How does your mom feel knowing she‘s going to be a grandmother?“ Rose asked the redhead.

„I think good“ Nathaniel answered. „The only thing she told me was, that she was happy that Lila got pregnant“

„My parents are okay with it. They‘re just kind of confused, cause they missed half of my childhood and now apparently I‘m founding my own family and…..it‘s just a little strange“ Explained the brunette taking with her fork out the piece of bread to eat it.

„My mom is very excited“ Juleka mentioned. „Last night Luka took her to his parents-in-law for dinner and Luka showed along with Marinette the long names list with boy names,“

„Nathy had also some ideas today and I liked some of the names“

„Easier it will be for us to look for names when we finally know its gender“ Nathaniel added. „We didn‘t make a list yet, but maybe we should make one just in case“

„I agree“ Lila answered.

„I won‘t be harder as giving a save file on the video games a name“

„Don‘t you put your name on it?“ Lila asked confused about Nathaniel‘s confession.

„Yes, but usually my name is too long for the file,“

„What about using your short cut?“

„That‘s what I did afterward. At least it worked in the end“

„Good“ Rose responded. „Have you heard anything new from Ivan and Myléne?“

„Well, I already know her baby‘s gender“ Lila pointed out. „I won‘t say it, you have to hear it from them“

„Luka already told me“ Juleka mentioned, then a smartphone started to play a rock song and all glanced at Juleka noticing, that the song played from hers. Juleka took out her smartphone and attended it. „Hey Luka…….yes they‘re here…...uhm okay I tell them, see you later“ Juleka placed her smartphone back and looked at the others. „There‘s a fire at the Grand Paris, he asked if we could roll out for help“

„Okay, I go“ Nathaniel offered getting up, followed by Rose.

„Me too“ Rose added getting up.

„Are you sure, you don‘t need a third person?“ Lila asked making Nathaniel shake his head.

„You can‘t go out and help us while you‘re pregnant,“

„What if Juleka uses the fox miraculous on Lila‘s place?“ The French woman suggested, making the redhead shrug his shoulders.

„She could“ Lila mentioned. „The only thing I need to tell her is just how she has to use her illusions and that‘s it“

„Okay“ Juleka answered getting up from the chair to see Lila take off her necklace to put it around her friend‘s neck. „Trixx, take good care of Juleka, “ Lila said earning a nod from her kwami.

„Your wish is my command“ Trixx answered saluting at her miraculous holder, then Nathaniel and Rose smirked at each other as they were prepared to leave the place.

After their visitor had left Kagami stood at the large windows of her boyfriend‘s bedroom gazing at houses around them. While she stood there, she had her right hand over her belly slowly caressing herself feeling more soother about it. At the bathroom Adrien stood next to Hope watching brushing her tooth, then she looked up at her brother which nodded and the girl put her toothbrush back into her cup and walked out of the bathroom followed by the blonde, which followed his sibling, then noticed Kagami standing in front of the windows with her arm placed over her belly. Adrien moved towards his girlfriend and hugged her from behind placing his right hand next to Kagami‘s starting to pet it gently as he was on it he leaned his face next to hers causing her to blush at his tenderness toward her.

„Does it make you feel better?“ Adrien asked quiet earning a hum from the woman as a yes. „This means that thing every girl hates is coming, right?“ Adrien asked making Kagami shrug her shoulders. „You often do that, because it helps you to soothe your pain,“

„You know a lot, Mr,“

„We‘ve been living under the same roof for almost four years. I know you like the back of my hand“ Hinted Adrien earning a nod from Kagami, which placed her hands over the one hand of her boyfriend followed by the blonde giving her a peck on the side of her forehead.

„Adrien, can I ask you something?“ Kagami asked looking up at the emerald eyes of the Frenchman. „Eh what do you think about having kids…..you know, our own“

„From our own flesh and blood?“

„Uh hum,“ Answered Kagami. „Could you…..imagine us two having a baby together?“

„To be honest“ Adrien began. „I would love it“ Adrien answered.

„For real?“ Kagami asked surprised at his response.

„Yes“ Replied the boyfriend. „Well it is funny that our friends are all at the moment going through the pregnancy thing together. Lila, Marinette, Chloé and Mylène. Then there‘s Jin‘s wife, Mr. D‘Argencourt‘s niece, Laura and Zeynep from our previous fencing class…..oh and I forgot about Ulrich Star too“

„Yes, but what do you think about…..me being pregnant at this exact moment?“ Kagami asked.

„I believe you this is hard to see all our girl friends pregnant and trust me, It‘s better if we take this topic to the end of our school days and that‘s only two little years. Time will pass fast,“

„I….that‘s not what I‘m talking about Adri“ Kagami mentioned.

„What else could it be?“ Adrien asked listening to a quiet sound sounding like a facepalm. „Did I say something wrong?“ Adrien asked making Kagami shake her head.

„Look I should have told you that a long while before, but…...“ Kagami said, then something crashed towards the wall under their window and the two looked from the window to spot there a fox-theme superheroine afterward a bee-themed superheroine appear and the couple looked at the yellow-dressed heroine, which was Honey Bee, the alter ego of Rose Lavillant. Adrien opened the window and shrieked as the vixen-superheroine placed her hands on the open window and looked up at the blonde.

„Hey“ Juleka greeted making Adrien furrow his eyebrows as he recognized her voice.

„Juleka?“

„She‘s a Firefox now…..we need help Adrien, there‘s a fire at the Grand Paris hotel and we could need another helping hand. Viperion and Super Nathan are already helping“ Honey Bee explained earning a nod from Adrien.

„Okay, I will help“ Adrien answered then his kwami appeared with a piece of red-colored cheese, which he devoured down in one go. „Fire Plagg!“

„Should I go with you?“ Kagami asked watching her boyfriend transform into the dark-dressed superhero Cat Noir with dark-gray tear-like pieces of vinyl around his legs and smaller ones around his arms up to his elbows.

„It‘s alright, stay here with Hope. If we need help we call you“ Cat Noir suggested the blue-haired woman, which nodded. „I have to go,“ The blonde kissed her shortly on the lips, then jumped out off the window bouncing with the help of his staff at the next roof of the building, then he jumped at the top of his mansion and noticed the smoke coming out from a part of the hotel and flames burning parts of the building.

„We take you“ Honey Bee announced grabbing the man by the pocket of his baton and carried him in the air heading to the burning building together with her girlfriend arriving the building and the three flew down near the streets getting closer to the building to avoid the toxic smoke coming from the house.

„Woah“ Cat Noir shrieked as he saw the size of the flames on the side of the hotel.

„Viperion and Super Nathan must be in there already. They also took the power-up,“ Honey Bee mentioned. „I just don‘t know, if this power-up does anything more, than protecting us from the smoke“ Honey Bee said checking out her outfits seeing the flame-like paint on her wrist. „I barely see yours or Juleka‘s style.

„Being protected from the fire and the heat is the most important part“ Cat Noir stated taking his staff to call one of the superheroes. „And I think I can use this tool for helping someone breathe“

„No service?“ Cat Noir asked confused. „What the hell?“

„Okay, let‘s just do, what we can do“ Honey Bee declared. „Just head to the flames and try to help people out of it,“ The blonde suggested earning a nod from the two friends and they took off, followed by Firefox taking Cat Noir with her and she dropped him at the emergency stairs and Cat Noir noticed the glass-protected door to the building still intact and Cat Noir used his fist and smashed with it on the glass, then he whined in pain as it didn‘t work, then he stepped back and took his baton and ran towards the glass causing it to get a tear all across the window. Cat Noir used the baton and hit a few times causing it to break, then he jumped through the broken window and he looked around at the smoke to see nothing but dark smoke. Cat Noir looked at the floor to see it had a small space, where he could see a little bit of something and he went down on his four like a pet and looked across the hall to encounter on the other middle of the corridor Viperion on his knees instructing a businessman, which crawled out of the room while holding a tissue in front of his mouth.

Cat Noir walked on his arms and legs close to the friend, then when Viperion was about to get up he noticed the blonde appear and held his fist out for the friend to hit on him.

„The infrared-like visor is really helpful. I‘m able to see in every room if there‘s someone“

„What vision?“ Cat Noir asked, then Viperion snapped with his fingers and Cat Noir widened his eyes as he suddenly saw the whole place in a dark blue color and far away on the end of the corridor on the left side was a person marked in red and yellow color moving, then Cat Noir nodded. „There is someone in the last room“

„Good, go take the man I saved out of here and close the safety door right there“ Viperion pointed out earning a nod from the cat-themed superhero and he ran forwards, then unlocked the doors and closed it behind him and moved forward to the escaping man and gave him his baton. „Put it in your mouth, it helps you breathing“ Cat Noir explained watching the man put it on his mouth, then Cat Noir grabbed the man and ran at the end of the hotel and opened on the end the door to the emergency stairs and dropped the man there, afterward he opened the door to catch there a woman with a suitcase in panic, and as she saw Cat Noir she embraced the man in relief.

„Thank you, Cat Noir!“

„No problem, move right ahead to the emergency stairs here, and just for the next time, forget your personal stuff. They‘re replaceable. Your life not“

„Thank you, Cat“ The woman said running out of the stairs, then she ran them down and Cat jumped from the side of the stairs down at the next level to catch the door open to see Viperion in there, then Cat Noir jumped another level down and entered into the building and looked with the infrared vision how many people were there and spotted three in one room near to the windows of the building. Cat Noir followed the red waves on his visor getting closer and closer to the room, then he noted, that two doors ahead of him was the closed emergency door and that it would be risky to help the guests to get there. Cat entered to the other part of the hotel and opened the door of the next hotel room and ran towards the window and climbed out to spot on the other window a child sitting on the window with his father holding him on the arms looking down at the ground, where three pedestrians held out a large bed sheet and Cat Noir looked back at the child, which was afraid to jump.

„Mister, I‘m here to help!“ Cat Noir announced watching the two gaze at him.

„Che cosa?“

„Uh….me aider….me help you down from bad fire“ Cat Noir tried to explain the Italian descendant people to understand, what he was doing there. Cat Noir moved himself down on the window if his hotel room and moved to the next window to get closer to the boy, then he reached out closer to the child‘s window and extended out his baton down to the ground, then he held out his hand at the boy to grab it. The father carefully reached his son to the superhero, which held him tight on his body and the kid embraced him around his head and Cat Noir slid down the pole followed by the child cheering about the amusement he had from the rescue.

„There you go, “ Cat Noir said, then the man helped his wife grab herself on the baton, then the man comforted her before he let her slide down at the ground. Cat Noir held his baton while the woman went down his staff and he gently gave her his hand for her to make sure everything was great, then she was hugged by the mother and Cat Noir looked back at the man trying to get on the staff carefully and went it down earning applause from his son.

„Excellent“ Cat Noir complimented, then the man gave Cat Noir his hand to shake.

„Grazie Mille“ He said and gave the blonde a kiss on his cheek, making him wide his eyes in confusion.

„Guet, dass eu nüt passiert isch,“ A elder woman said, which had helped the other pedestrians holding the sheet and hugged the family.

„Grüess Gott, Heidi“ The man said making Cat Noir furrow his eyebrows at not being able to understand the language.

„What kind of German is that? Cat Noir whispered to himself, then from above appeared Super Nathan with from up the room landing on his feet next to the Frenchman.

„Only the first floor and the ground floor needs to be controlled“ The purple-skinned man mentioned earning a nod from the blonde. „Rose and Juleka have taken the first floor“

„Okay, let‘s head to the back“ Cat Noir mentioned running along with Super Nathan to the back. „Did you understand, what they were saying?“

„More or less. They‘re not speaking German, by the way, it‘s the Swiss-German dialect“

„Okay sounds weird“

„Eh I think it depends on places. Germany also has one or two sounding strange to me“ Super Nathan said, then the two arrived at the back and Super Nathan erased the door away and the two entered into the meeting room, which was empty and both used the infrared vision to see for more people, then Cat Noir ran off and Super Nathan watched him which encountered on the kitchen side a person lying on the ground.

„I go to the other side!“ Super Nathan warned running towards the other direction and Cat Noir crashed into the kitchen to encounter smoke covering all the area, then Cat Noir got down on the floor to see a tan-skinned woman lying on the ground and Cat Noir recognized the woman as Alya‘s mother.

„Mrs. Césaire!“ Cat Noir called and ran towards her to pick her up, then ran out of the building from where he came from and raced to the front, where he encountered paramedics checking out on people, then encountered Alya standing together with her father and Nino there and Alya screamed as she saw her mother.

„Mom!“ Alya yelled and two paramedics heard her and saw Cat Noir come along with the woman and they prepared a patient reclining and Cat Noir lied her down on the bed and the Césaire‘s came along the woman along with Nino.

„She‘s opening her eyes“ Nino pointed out.

„We will take care of her, “ The female paramedic said earning a nod from the daughter.

„I will go with your mother, Nino please bring her home, “ Mr. Césaire told the two young adults.

„Sure Sir“ Nino answered watching the father of his girlfriend enter into the ambulance and Alya hugged the boyfriend, which patted her back.

„Your mother will be fine, believe me, “ Cat Noir assured patting the friend on the shoulder then the door of the superheroes appeared at the exit of the hotel and helped three more guests out of the hotel followed by Kim Chien Le, which was wrapped in a bathing towel. „Well, that was a bad timing for a bath, “ The blonde said, then saw the friend reunite himself with Chloé and her father.

„Can you draw a firetruck with water?“ Cat Noir asked the redhead superhero.

„I could draw one…..or just a hosepipe and attach it to the hydrant“ Super Nathan suggested earning a nod from the blonde then Super Nathan used his tablet to draw the pipe, then Cat Noir installed the first part on the hydrant and watched Super Nathan continue to draw the rest of it afterward he assisted the friend to use the pipe to help the firefighters to extinguish the flames.

Diabolik Lover Chaos Lineage: Ayato Sakamaki (Story 11)

Place: Scarlet Mansion — Living room

Reiji: You won’t be able to beat us. Did you forget that you lost last time already?

Ayato: I didn’t. This time you’ll lose. I’ll show you Ayato-sama‘s true abilities!

Yui: (After all, Ayato-kun is willing to fight! We weren’t planing on this at all)

Ayato-kun! That’s wrong! We weren‘t planing on fighting them!

Ayato: That’s right. You‘re not wrong at all but i‘ll get their memories back like this!

Yui: (What is that supposed to mean?)

Choices

1) — Don’t forget (black) 2) — Good luck (white)♡♡♡

— Don’t forget Yui: Don't forget the real purpose! We said we‘re not fighting them

Ayato: Shut up. I know that

— Good luck ♡

Yui: Good luck! You’re their real brother after all Ayato-kun, they should remember at least something

Ayato: ...Heh, I hope so too

Yui: (Im sure you’ll be fine. Believe in the bond between your Brothers)

end Choices

Reiji: What are you talking about? If you won’t come for me, I’ll come for you instead.

Ayato: Hey, wait! It’s not like that! We just came here to talk!

Both Shu and Reiji are having fake memories, which were planted in your heads by our father!

You haven‘t noticed it, but it’s something like your senses are discomforted or something!?

Reiji: If you’d think of what you just said, it’s stupid

Shu: I have no intention in believing such a silly story.

Yui: But everything Ayato-kun‘s saying is true!

For some reason we are gathered in this place we don’t know about and we’re supposed to fight ...

Reiji: This talk is cancelled now. Come on, fight me now!

*Reiji attacks Ayato*

Ayato: ...ugh!

Shu: ...ah... !

Ayato: ... Ngh! Fuck, why can’t you listen to what I say!

*Ayato attacks Shu*

Shu: I don’t want to hear it

*Shu attacks Ayato*

Ayato: That’s not good, they‘re not listening to me! Chichinasi come here

*Ayato grabs Yui*

Yui: Y-Yes!

(Ayato-kun, he’ll fight while holding into me ...! It's even harder like this… !)

Ayato: ... Ngh! Tch!

Reiji: Why don’t you just handle us Eve? Wouldn’t it be painful to fight against us while protecting her?

Ayato: ...Ngh… !

Yui: (Its like Reiji-san says. I think I'm getting in his way)

(I can’t stay with Ayato-kun like this...)

Shu: Heh, let her go

Ayato: Ngh! Fuck!

*something fell off*

Ayato: Ouch… What? Something fell from the shelf. Was it a lantern?

Yui: W-Wait there are flames spreading... !

Agh! The fire of the lantern’s burning up!  

Ayato: Tch! That’s not good. We‘re going to die if we stay here!

Hey, let’s stop the fight! We need to hurry up and escape! Shu! Reiji!

Shu: ...ngh...

Reiji: ...ah...

Ayato: Hey, what are you waiting for?!

Yui: (Whats wrong? Even if the flames are coming closer and closer, they both won‘t move ...!) 

Reiji: Ngh...

*Reiji faints*

Shu: ...Ngh? What is that?

*Shu faints*

Ayato: Hey, whats going on! I can‘t handle this flames alone! Stand up and do something!

Yui: Both of them fainted...

(Oh, but speaking of that, it was like this when Ayato's memories returned.)

(Symptoms like having a headache or fainting for no reason ...)

Ayato-kun! I think this is the same situation when your memories returned ...

Ayato: So you mean, their memories are coming back?

Ngh, the shelf is breaking! Look out!

*Ayato protects Yui*

Yui: Ngh!

(The nearby shelf burned down already! The flames are spreading with tremendous force)

Ayato: This is bad! The fire is spreading way too fast! We‘ll get locked in here like this!

For us vampires this is actually no problem, but for you as human this situation is pretty bad!

Yui: Ah...

Ayato: We need to get to a safe place! We’re going to die like this!

Yui: ...B-But

Ayato: What is it! We don’t have time

Yui: Now you might be able to get back the memories of Shu and Reiji-san

Ayato: Huh, what do you mean?!

Yui: They need to listen to you because of the fire, you may be able to restore their memories if you do well! 

Ayato: ...That might be true

Yui: Yes. I'm having a strong physical feeling about that —

It may be a chance to remove the lid of their memories, right? If you try to recall on two or more …

Ayato: They might return. But we don‘t have much time. If it won‘t happen quickly, the house will burn down 

Yui: Yes

Shu-san! Reiji-san! Wake up… ahem, ahem, ahem!

(I can‘t get air anymore... ! My consciousness is also getting weaker!)

Ayato-kun… ahem, ahem, ahem

Ayato: Hey, are you okay!? Is it because of the smoke?! Seems like we dont have more time

Shu! Reiji! We won‘t go without you two! Get up now!

Are you two really that weak? I cant remember the eldest Sakamaki Brothers being such nuisance!

Shu: ...

Reiji: ...

Yui: (Can‘t they hear us? We‘ll die if we can‘t get out quickly ...!)

Ayato: Really, those guys

Yui: Look, the pillar is breaking... ! 

(It will fall down on those two like this ...!)

Ayato: Look out!

Here!

*Ayato breaks the pillar*

Yui: Ayato-kun — !

Ayato: Hey, you two — !

Reiji: W-What is...

Ayato: There’s no time for that! You still don’t accept me as your brother, do you!?

What happened to your usual bossy attitude all of the sudden! I won’t forgive you for being like this!

Reiji: ...Ngh!

Shu: ...

Reiji: ...Ayato... ?

Yui: ...Hn!!

(Just now, he said Ayato...)

(That probably means... Reiji-san's memories returned —!)

Ayato: It's really getting serious! It‘s crumbling more and more!

We’ll leave now! Reiji! Shu! Are you awake now!?

Reiji: ...I woke up quite a long time ago. I will escape from here as well. ...Ngh...

Yui: Reiji-san are you okay?

Reiji: Yes, I’m fine. I just got a little headache. Now come Shu, let’s escape from here

Shu: ... Reiji...

Reiji: ... ?!

Yui: Shu-san... ? No way, are you okay!?

Ayato-kun, you need to help Shu-san...

Ayato: What are you talking about! Hey, Shu! Come on, lend me your hand...

Reiji: No, that’s not necessary

Ayato: Hah? What are you saying! I won’t leave him behind!

Reiji: *sigh* I really hate him from the bottom of my heart, but I can’t help it. Now Shu, turn your arm around my shoulder

Shu: ...Y-Yes

Yui: Reiji-san!

Reiji: This is the first and last time I’ll help you. I refuse to do such a thing ever again

Yui: (That’s good. Shu-san will escape together with Reiji-san)

Ayato: Yui, we’re leaving too!

*Ayato grabs Yui*

Yui: Kya!

Ayato: If you hold into me we can escape way faster. Just don’t lose your grips 

Yui: ...Yes. Thank you

Ayato: Okay, we’ll escape through the window! ...Ngh... !

Yui: Ah, Ayato-kun that burn mark... ! Did the fire hit you awhile ago!? 

Ayato: It’s really nothing you should worry about. We need to escape from here now! Yui, we‘ll get going now!

Yui: Yes!

*window breaks*

Place: Scarlet Mansion — Outside

Subaru: Hey, what was that sound just now?

Kanato: How should I know? But as you can see the mansion's burning 

Laito: That’s true. I wonder what happened inside there?

*time passes*

Subaru: I wonder what happened inside there.. ? I wonder if they all are okay

Kanato: Oh, they seem to be alive 

Ayato: Huff, Huff, Huff... we made it. I thought we’re going to die in there...

Yui: Huh?

Ayato: I’m alright. It’s not like anything can stop Ayato-sama at this time

Yui: Well that’s true! Thank you so much for protecting me!

But, what about your burns? Are they hurting a lot!?

Ayato: Nah, I can handle them

Yui: I see...

(During that blazing, he got away with me ... I'm sure he’s trying to act like he’s okay)

Ayato: I still wonder how those two are doing in their situation

Reiji: Ngh... Huff

*Reiji collapses*

Shu: Huff...Huff...

*Shu collapses*

Ayato: Talking about them, we were waiting you know?

Reiji: Huff... We’re glad you decided to wait. We were close to die in there.

Shu: ...Alive

Yui: (I’m happy... somehow we all managed to escape —)

(Without Ayato-kun's words, neither Reiji nor Shu would’ve been safe now)

(After all, I had Ayato-kun with me, who encouraged me the whole time)  

Subaru: Hey, what happened in that mansion just now?

Laito: Yes Yes. Was everything settled?

Kanato: What's actually going on?  Why did you get away with Scarlet's eldest and second eldest son?

Ayato: It's still a mess. The detailed circumstances will be postponed.  There is something we need to do before that 

Yui: ...Yes. You’re right

(We need to check if their memories really returned —)

Shu-san, Reiji-san, do you remember us?

(Since I heard a good response to it earlier, maybe their memories are back) 

(Please, I want them to remember who they are and their real memories —)

Reiji: I finally managed to understand the situstion. I expected our brother to come to my Mansion with quite an annoying scandal.

Yui: Reiji-san... ! You do remember everything!

Ayato: Hehe, an annoying scandal he says. You’re not really wrong

Yui: Ayato-kun! You don’t need to say it like that! 

Ayato: No, I mean it as I said. After all I changed a lot after I met you again

Its your fault that my actions turned out like that thats why youre taking the responsibilities for me, right?

Yui: Uhm, what...

Shu: *sigh* what a mess. Stop being so noisy...

Yui: Shu-san!

Ayato: Heh, seems like your memories are back as well. All thanks to the great me. You should thank me now!

Shu: I´d rather go insane then thanking you for this

Ayato: What you mean!? You can’t even say thanks even tho I saved you!

Shu: Don't make such loud noises. I still have a headache

Yui: (I don’t know the detailed circumstances, but that fire may have shaken the memories of those two)

(Because of that, the lid of their memories finally came off) 

Reiji: I should appologize for my behavior but Im all fine now. Lets work together from now on

Shu: My headache is fading as well

Reiji: Still, I need to thank you for something. We´ve been close to be covered from a pillar which has fallen

Ayato: Oh, at least you´re brutal honest. Are you sure you´re okay since you´re being so nice to me?

Reiji: I dont want to be that way either. My brother who usually acts selfish, defended me so I felt like it

Shu: Including the burns you got from protecting us

Ayato: So seriously not a big deal. Chichinashi was worried about me too

Reiji: Not only that. It seems like I was doing a lot of ridiculous things while my memories were a mess

Yui: (Reiji-san...)

(I can forgive what he did because of how strange his memories were.)

Ayato: If you are saying that now. You should repay me with something once we got home

Reiji: Heh, if you don’t insist.  --Thank you… for your patience. I... Ngh..

*Reiji faints*

Shu: Ngh...

*Shu faints*

Yui: Reiji-san! Shu-san!

(They both fainted. Is it, because of the fire… ?) 

Subaru: Hey, what happened to them?

Ayato: Ah~ I understand them.  When my memories came back, I was as tired as they are now

Yui: Oh, I see.  Ayato-kun also lost consciousness when his memories returned

Ayato: Don't worry, let‘s find a place to rest for them.

Let's go to the forest for now. It would be problematic to stay here

Yui: Yes, that’s right!

Ayato: That’s why Subaru should carry Reiji and Shu

Subaru: Whats with you! Give me a fucking break already

Laito: That's right.  Apart from this, wouldn’t it be better to leave these two here? 

Kanato: I agree. I don’t understand the meaning of getting along

Ayato: Shut up! You still are my servants! Now follow my orders!

Laito: It is only Subaru-kun who became your servant. I have nothing to do with thaaat ~

Kanato: Then Subaru will carry those two spars. I dont have the slightest Intension to help Subaru, so enjoy the suffering

Subaru: Hey, don't push me only! They both are too heavy, even for me!

Yui: (Wow, all six brothers have been together like this for awhile)

(Subaru-kun, Laito-kun and Kanato-kun are still having strange memories ...)

(Let's find a way to return home... !)
