You are a friend of Arisu, Karuba and Chota

English is not my native language, so there may be some mistakes. I apologize for that. This is not a full-fledged work, but rather a reflection on "what if they had another friend

[WARNING: blood, character death]

You became friends with Arisu, Karube, and Chota back in elementary school. One day, you witnessed two brave boys named Karube and Arisu standing up for a third boy, Chota, who was being bullied. This deeply impressed your younger self, and you made an effort to befriend them. Luckily, it worked out well as the boys were open to having a new friend. Your friendship lasted even after school, showing the strong emotional bond between you all.

You shared the most interests with Arisu and, since neither of you had jobs, you spent more time together. Sometimes, you and Arisu would tease Karube and Chota by sending selfies from a café where you were playing video games while they were working. In response, they teased you right back.

*You sent a selfie where, in the background, Arisu is playing a computer game.

You: How's your Monday going? We're busy with serious matters… like relaxing for both of you!

Chota: It's so sweet that you have so much free time to do this for us.

Karube: Chota, I have a theory about them.

You: ?

Chota: What is it?

Karube: They spend so much time together not just because they're unemployed but because they're secretly dating!

Chota: EXACTLY!

Karube: Your virginity, Chota, didn’t manage to infect them.

Chota: Hey!

You: Arisu, how do you block users in this app?

Arisu: I was going to ask you the same thing.

Chota is a very religious person thanks to his mother, so from time to time, when you're bored, you accompany him to one of the churches. After the church service ends, you usually go to a small shop to buy interesting new manga and read them together, discussing each character's actions.

Chota points to the distorted face of one of the characters.

—Look, that's you when something goes wrong, the young man says playfully.

—And that's you after your boss gets upset again.

Chota looks at the funny, exhausted face of the character and playfully hugs himself.

—If only you knew how scary he is during those times. I'm tired of him.He looks at you, and you sympathetically pat him on the shoulder.

One day, Karube approached you with an unusual level of concern, surprising you since you'd never seen him like that before. He came to you because he wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Emi. You knew he was dating his boss's girlfriend and had considered talking to him about it because, in that case, Karube was technically the "other man." However, you noticed how his eyes lit up when he talked about the girl he was deeply in love with. So, holding your tongue, you decided it was his business and trusted that he and Emi would figure it out themselves. He explained exactly what he needed from you: since you're a girl, you would know how to impress another girl, and because he noticed that your fingers are similar to Emi's, he needed you to tell him the size of your ring finger. After finishing your discussion, you sincerely hoped everything would go well for Karube.

A few days later, you were sitting in the kitchen, enjoying delicious dashi. You were browsing various job postings because you had decided to start earning money independently. Your phone started vibrating in your hands with a flood of new messages in your group chat of four. From this, you learned that Karube had been fired, Chota wanted to skip work today, and Arisu had argued with his father and left home. Everyone wanted to meet up. They were waiting for your reply, so you quickly typed a message saying you’d join them soon.

Half an hour later, all four of you stood together in the shade. You were quietly giggling at jokes about a zombie apocalypse and, overall, enjoying the warm atmosphere with your friends. Suddenly, Karube lifted Arisu onto his shoulders and began running carefully down the crowded street with him. Chota started recording a video on his phone, and you stayed close to your friends, ready to catch Arisu in case he fell. You didn't doubt Karube's strength, but extra caution wouldn't hurt. The laughter of everyone involved faded when you realized you were on a busy road. Cars were honking at you, and you tried to reach the other side of the street as quickly as possible, avoiding oncoming traffic.

You heard Chota say, "Look, there are fireworks over there!" But you didn’t turn your head, still focused on your goal. Once on the other side, you all agreed to duck into some restrooms to avoid the police. The three guys went into the men’s restroom, and you headed into the women’s.

The guys only wrote in the group chat that everything was fine, but you were distracted when the lights went out. You put your phone in your pocket and decided to step outside. There was no one around except you. You began calling loudly, "Karube! Chota! Arisu!" but no one answered, so you started searching the most likely places. However, Tokyo seemed frozen in time. Late at night, you returned to the road where you’d last been messing around with your friends. A bright light from a billboard caught your attention, mentioning some kind of game. Though cautious, you followed the directions to the indicated location.

Hope still filled your heart that you’d find your friends there. When you entered the building, you saw your friends and ran quickly toward them. They called your name and hugged you tightly.

—We were looking for you, but it was like you disappeared into thin air like everyone else.

Chota said quietly, disbelief in his eyes.

—Where were you?.

Karube’s voice was calm, but there was a hint of worry.

—Did you see anyone else? Do you know what happened?

Arisu was still holding your shoulders as if checking if you were real.

You didn’t get a chance to explain because another girl in a business suit entered. She explained that you wouldn’t be able to leave until you played the game. After her, a schoolgirl arrived, so all of you completed registration, and the "Life or Death" game began.

After the schoolgirl's death, you stayed close to Chota, patting each other’s backs for comfort. In the next round, you pulled Karube away from Arisu, squeezing the blonde man’s hand tightly to keep him from hitting your mutual friend again. Thanks to Arisu’s intellect, you managed to escape the game, but Chota suffered a severe burn.

By mutual agreement, Shibuki and Chota stayed in the shelter while you, Karube, and Arisu went to the next game to search for answers. During a minor argument between you and your friends, you went with Arisu because the boys didn’t want you to attack the man in the horse mask. However, even in the safe zone, there was trouble—if not for the short-haired girl as well as the man with white hair and his taser, you would have died.

You and Arisu were supporting Karube from both sides. The guy had a shallow wound on his side, but he refused to admit he needed help, even though it was obvious. When you returned to the shelter, you helped bandage his wound and stayed close to assist him if needed. The next morning, while everyone was still asleep, you decided to prepare food with the available supplies. Fortunately, there was a gas stove, so cooking wasn't a problem.

The guys immediately started eating breakfast, while Shibuki stood aside, unsure if she was allowed to join. Your gesture inviting her to sit down reassured her, and she joined you without hesitation.

You were worried about Chota: his visa was expiring today, and with an injured leg, he still had to participate in the game. During breakfast, Karube mentioned hearing about the "Beach."

—Let's look for a way there after today's game. Chota and I are out of time, so we can't delay this.

—All right, we'll all go to the game together today, you decided.

In the evening, billboards lit up again, announcing a new game. This time, the venue was Tokyo's botanical garden. Arisu was supporting Karube as they approached a door with a sign reading, "Only four players can participate in the game." This sparked a new debate: Chota and Shibuki had to play since their visas were expiring. Arisu wanted to opt out since his visa was still valid, but you and Karube insisted he participate. In past games, he was the one who guessed everything, so he's useful.

—Let me play. You have a wound that might cause you difficulties.

—Chota also has a wound.

—But his visa expires today, and you have it for a few more days.

—Everything will be fine, Arisu is with me, and you can sit here and wait for us.

—Karub!

However, he quickly went behind the door, which was locked. You have nothing left but to sit quietly and wait.

However, he quickly went behind the door, which was locked. You had no choice but to sit quietly and wait. From time to time, you looked excitedly at the construction of the Shinjuku Botanical Garden, you heard some screams of your friends, but you could not understand what they were saying. Anxiety was taking over you more and more. You wanted to see what was going on inside, but due to the dense vegetation you were unable to do so. You hugged yourself in your arms because of the cold of the summer night, you walked here and there outside, waiting for your friends and Shibuki to come out. With every minute, you were shaking more and more, either from the cold or from a bad premonition. Suddenly, everyone heard several explosions, they were similar to the ones you heard in the safe zone. Then there was a loud desperate scream. You took a stick, opened the door and threw it into the botanical garden. The laser did not penetrate its. You ran toward the screams, shouting the names of your friends:

- Chota! Arisu! Karube! Shibuki! Where are you?!

Your eyes began to gather cool moisture from the possible options, what could have happened. The sound was heard again, but this time it was not a scream, it was someone's loud sobs. You stopped, you didn't even have to breathe to determine the exact source of the sound. The sound came from the right side, so you rushed there without thinking. You saw that this cry belonged to Arisu. He was sitting on his knees, he had headphones and transparent glasses on his head, and there was fresh blood on his face and clothes.

—Arisu!

You quickly approached, sitting next to him, you carefully placed your hands on your friend's shoulders. With your eyes, you looked him over from head to toe with concern.

—Arisu, can you hear me? Where does it hurt? Are you injured? Where are the others?

Arisu was gasping for air, looking at one point, you took your hands off your friend's shoulders and turned completely in that direction. For a moment you forgot how to breathe, very close to both of you Karube lay motionless, and under him was a pool of blood. Your face was pale than any porcelain in the world. You still couldn’t breathe normally, hot tears were flowing down your cheeks, and your eyes were filled with pain and horror. You sobbed, which allowed Aris to finally notice you in this botanical garden. He hugged you from behind, resting his head on your shoulder and started crying harder, he whispered an apology, but you couldn’t hear him anymore. Arisu hugged you tighter. Feeling you in his arms, he remembered what Karube and Chota had told him a few minutes ago.

—Arisu, live for our sake and for y/n. You were all my best friends, I'm grateful to you.

Chota finally took his hand away from Shibuki's mouth, and she hugged him. They both cried because they knew these were their last moments.

—Arisu, when you get out of here, take care of yourself and y/n.

Karube smoked a little more.

—Turn your head, I'm here. Arisu, thank you.

i genuinely love your works so muchhh and your writing? no one can compare!!!!

they look so cute here :(( i should use this gif more often

pairing: arisu x gn!reader (they/them pronouns) genre: fluff word count: 866

includes: slightly jealous arisu, arisu calls reader angel, he's not super clingy i'm sorry, slightly suggestive ending, i feel like the end is kinda awkward

a/n: thank you for requesting !! i'm so glad you like my work, it means so much to me <33 i hope you like it :))

requests open !! read my rules first

“when are you gonna introduce us to y/n?” 

“yeah,” chota knocks his shoulder into arisu’s as they walk over to sit down in a booth beside front of the window. cars drive by the convenience store in the light rain, occasionally causing a splash of water to hit the sidewalk. “you talk about them all the time. when do we get to meet ‘the best thing that’s ever happened to you?’” 

“shut up,” arisu waves them off, leaning down to hide his growing blush. steam raises up from his cup of noodles as he rips the lid off and mixes the sauce packet into the noodles. 

“come on!” karube complains. “we won’t do anything to embarrass you.” he holds his pinky out with a raised eyebrow. “i promise.” 

arisu rolls his eyes, pushing karube’s hand away. “whatever.” chota laughs beside them before changing the conversation to the newest level of a random video game he must’ve missed the release for. despite his protests he pulls out his phone and clicks on your contact. it’s almost second nature as he texts you. 

you

hi angel

i’m at the convenience store with karuba and chota rn and they want to meet you

can you come here?

if you want to

angel <3

of course!!

i’ll be there in ten

arisu smiles to himself as he sets his phone aside before turning his attention back to his noodles. they’ve cooled down significantly. unfortunately for him, chota notices his small smile and lack of participation in their conversation. 

“talking to y/n again?” he teases. 

arisu sighs, finally relenting. “i texted them. they’re on their way over here now.” his eyes stay glued to the doors as karube and chota joke amongst themselves. 

arisu’s excitement builds along with his nerves as your car slowly pulls into the parking lot. you exit your car, rushing into the building in an attempt to avoid the rain. he lights up when you immediately notice him and quickly make your way over to where he is. “arisu!” 

“hi angel,” he chuckles, standing up to pull you into a hug. arisu’s waist remains around your waist when he pulls away before gesturing to the two men sitting beside him. “karube, chota, this is y/n.” 

chota is the first to react, nearly scrambling to his feet to bow to you. “chota segawa,” he introduces. he’s wearing a striped button down shirt and a pair of black dress pants. his work lanyard swings when he bows. his face flushes with a light blush as he awkwardly stutters out a few words. “it’s nice to meet you.” 

“karube daikichi,” the blonde man goes next. he’s significantly calmer than chota as he lowers his head towards you. he smells faintly like a mixture of beer and cigarette smoke as he gives you a small half-smile. “arisu has said a lot about you.” 

“l/n y/n,” you smile, reciprocating their bows. “arisu talks a lot about you guys too. it’s nice to meet the both of you.” arisu looks away in a poor attempt to hide his blush as you chuckle, reaching under the table to grab his hand into yours. you take the opportunity to sit down beside him across from karube and chota. 

arisu watches as you quickly fall into conversation with karube. your laughter is a sweet sound that would normally calm his nerves, but it’s usually a result of his jokes. his slowly growing irritation goes unnoticed as you reach over the table to use your hand to emphasize the point you’re attempting to make, accidentally pulling away from where your hands were intertwined in the process. 

chota also notices how well you’re getting along, teasingly raising an eyebrow and cocking his head to gesture towards you and karube. arisu attempts to ignore him; though his slight teasing only adds to his growing jealousy.

a small reprieve comes when he reaches over to tug your hand back into his, now resting your intertwined fingers on the table in plain view. chota chuckles at the sight. “what is it?” karube asks, looking over at him. 

chota simply shakes his head with a small smile. “nothing.” 

“your friends are nice,” you murmur from your position against arisu’s chest. “karube’s a funny guy. and chota is really sweet.” his heartbeat is steady under your ear. he lets out a sound akin to a grunt, tightening his grip around you ever so slightly. you stifle a chuckle as you shift to look up at him. “what?” 

“you seem to be getting really close with karube.” 

“like i said, i like karube.” you move to hover over arisu, bringing your hands up to cup his cheeks. “are you jealous?” 

his face flushes as he looks away. “no.” 

“you’re jealous!” 

“fine. i’m jealous.” arisu reaches up to wrap his arms around you, flipping the both of you over so he’s leaning over the top of you. “are you gonna make it up to me?” 

“is a kiss enough?” he hums as you reach up to pull him down into a kiss. arisu doesn’t let you pull away for long, pulling you down into another one, and another, and another.

Each of us was part of a team of four brave explorers who had spent months on the high seas to reach an island of myths and legends. All of us were on an expedition to navigate through dense jungle, trying to uncover paths that had been long lost and many of which were dead ends. If we were lucky we might find treasures along the way: gold nuggets or precious jewels. However, the riches along the way were mere trifles compared to our ultimate goal. Each of us wanted to be the first to reach one of the four temples whose tips we could see sticking out above the giant trees. These temples would reward us with unimaginable treasure and glory. We were determined to make history on the island of Karuba by Rüdiger Dorn from HABA.
