#masquerade kiss kei

I completely forgot to post this but I went very crazy over this scene where Anne trains MC. Having a female former top agent help you make the most of your abilities and flexibility is what MC needed to improve even more. I love this moment and their relationship 😭❤️

Kei: Blessed Lover

[sophiie2000]

It's just my own personal ramblings, but...

One of my favourite things about some of the MCs in voltage's stories is they have little things that they love so much that seem irrelevant, but just add something to the stories.

Like how in Oops I Said Yes, the MC loves cherry tomatoes. And while that seems like a random tidbit of information, it adds something to the story, like when the LI notices her love of cherry tomatoes. Remember when Ukyo notices her love of cherry tomatoes and so cooks with them just to make her happy and see her childlike expression when her favourite food is in front of her.

Or in Masquerade Kiss, the MC's love of Lady Borden ice cream and Tom Cruise. These seemingly random items that were added into the story add so much and in different ways in each of the different stories. The ice cream, for example, is her go-to when she's stressed, happy, sad, wanting to relax. It was the item that brought her closer to Kazuomi in his Season 1 when he discovered her with a tub at the resort and became a love they shared in his later seasons. Or you have her love of Tom Cruise and the LIs jealousy when rivalling her love of Tom and his Mission Impossible films. It allows to see a different depth or side to the characters.

Then you have Irresistable Mistakes MC's pet cat. Every home scene, this cat became a focal point of the stories. It's protectiveness of the MC, its seemingly disliking and rivalries with the LI... it is random, but just added something to that story. Maybe, in this case, comical, but still add something. Sure, it's humorous, but also, there's something satisfying and fulfilling watching the LI try and win over this cat while pursuing the MC.

There are so many you could mention, but these are just a few of the ones I enjoyed.

You also have the opposite side too, the LIs having their own little quirks or hobbies that make them more loveable or creates something deeper to explore in their character...

Yuzuru Shiba in MK for example, his love for tinkering with mechanics and the like... or Kuranosuke Kiba in OISY love for desserts. Random interests or likes, that add a different depth to their character.

And I don't know. It just seems so wholesome that one small, tiny tidbit of information. Something that can see so irrelevant or random when it is first mentioned can add something so much more to a story. It's enough, in some stories, to make you love a character more.

And I just love it.

I checked my album of Masquerade Kiss and look what I found! They're so serious in this CG 😆 How can they be handsome in EVERY picture?

Baba: are you mad?

Soryu: no.

Baba: so sharpening knives at 2am is just a new hobby then?

Voltage Chara Cafe Chibis 2024

Voltage once again claimed my heart by announcing the new merch for their upcoming character cafe. Weak as i am for chibis they just had to release animal hoodie acrylics of some of our best boys.

Kasumi tries to wriggle himself into my heart more and more by now also dressing up as a red panda! It almost feels like Kurosawa stole the penguin hoodie of him :D

Of course Tsugaru just had to have something bunny themed in the picture. Nomura has to watch out not to end up in Tsugaru's bunny merch collection at this point.

Kaga and Ishigami have their signature food and just had to have matching poses. Coincidence? xD

I wonder what the animals say about our characters. They are all so very adorable! It's difficult to decide!

Anyways, if you would like to buy some chibi merch too, @lydskisses organises a group order for the event. If you are curious just contact her ;)

Who is your favorite?

Real, I can take both of them

[fuyuko-miyuki]

Since kazoumi was living with Zach in Mexico they DEFINITELY went to parties and quinces (15th birthday parties for girls as a celebration of them growing from "girls" into "women" but with many parts to it) kazoumi HAS to know how to dance all the dances there are to know😼 cumbias, bachata, huapango, norteñas etc etc but I feel like he'd be an EXPERTTT at la iguana which just from the name explains itself, all it is is crawling on the floor around the quinceañera, while still having a sort of rhythm to the beat, and having people circle around you dancing.

If this isn't enough of an example you can easily look it up and there should be multiple examples 😋

I just love thinking about dumb things like this at times when it comes to kazoumi and his time with Zach, it brings me joy

[otome-writer51]

My forever loves💗💗💗

Shout out to @meruchan for the 3Ss years later!!! Still some of the best pieces of MK that I have!!!

Another "MK characters’ bullshit” post because it’s never ending and we love to see it

MK LI's React To MC Being Pregnant 

Hey Guys!🤗

So I made these little HCs casually to break up some of the longer writings I have been doing. I didn't plan on posting them at the time because they seemed so far fetched from what would actually happen in Masquerade Kiss that I didn't think anyone else would be interested in them!

But then I saw a post shared by someone where it said write and post ideas that YOU would want to read, so I thought why the hell not post it! 😂💞

Who knows, maybe someone who reads this post will enjoy it!😅🥰

Or maybe I'm the only one who enjoys the idea of tying down these men! 🤫😏

Anyway, these are the reactions of Kazuomi, Yuzuru and Kei to MC announcing she is pregnant!

I'll be honest, it's pretty fluffy with a little bit of angst thrown in!

Characters are not my own, and belong to Voltage Inc.

Kazuomi Shido…

When he invited MC out for date Kazuomi had expected the night to go in much the same way as it usually did. Wine and dine, exchanging teasing remarks, build up one another’s desire, and end the night locked in a steamy embrace…

What he did not anticipate, was MC picking at her food, being distant, and not touching any alcohol. 

He knew when they both arrived back in his suite he would try encourage MC to share her secret. What was bothering her? He would never admit it, but her acting differently from usual set him on edge too. 

He had anticipated an evening of probing, a game to try get MC to divulge her secret. He had not expected MC to suddenly blurt out that she had something she needed to tell him. 

There had only been a handful of times Kazuomi had ever seen MC nervous or unsure before discussing something with him… When telling him who she really was; When she was a target; When she left the EAC; and when she decided to get back into espionage. 

What MC told Kazuomi next, was something he had never expected.

He looked down at his hands, which held the pregnancy test MC had just removed from her bag. 

“You’re pregnant…” he responded quietly, eyes focused intently on the positive test. 

“I-I don’t know what to do Kazuomi… I-I mean, we never planned any of this… I’m me… and you’re… well you.” MC struggled to get the words out. 

Kazuomi could feel her anxiety. Heck he felt anxious too. But he was too stunned in this moment to comprehend fully what was happening. He didn’t have the mental wherewithal to soothe his lover when he hadn’t fully grasped the situation. 

“I’m sorry MC, could you give me some time?” The words were all he could force out. They hurt to say, and he could sense the hurt MC felt as he gently pushed her away. 

All he could picture was the sad, desolate life he had as a youth. Living on the streets, never knowing when his next meal would come. Alone.

Could he offer a child a happy life? He wasn’t sure what was needed to provide a child with a happy childhood, not when his had been so far from one. 

What made matters more complicated was his and MC’s lifestyles didn’t exactly scream ‘Let’s start a family!’ as a spy and a businessman who tinkered on the fine line of right and wrong. 

A few days passed, and after much thinking, the news had finally set in.

Kazuomi had been busy in those few days, and he was finally ready to discuss this properly with MC. He even had a surprise of his own for her. 

When he rang MC inviting her over, he could hear the stress in her voice. He felt his chest tighten. His inability to comprehend things at the time had left MC dealing with the burden of both their anxieties alone. 

But he knew he was ready to help ease that burden now. He knew what he wanted to say.

When MC arrived at his place, Kazuomi immediately blindfolded her. 

“Kazuomi! What are you doing?!” MC screeched at him. He only chuckled in response and placed a chaste kiss to her forehead. 

“I have a surprise for you. Trust me… just this once” he responded in his usual teasing tone.

Being blindfolded, MC could not see the way his lips curled up into a gentle smile as he guided his woman through his home, and into a spare room adjacent to his own bedroom.

Undoing the blindfold, Kazuomi pressed his lips to the back of MC’s head, as he uncovered her eyes and revealed the room. 

MC’s eyes widened in great surprise. Tears filling their corners. Her eyes surveyed the freshly decorated room. 

“W-what is this, Kazuomi?” She asked, emotion burning in her tone. 

“I thought this could be the baby’s nursery” Kazuomi responded, his hands firmly gripping MC’s arms. 

The room had been painted in neutral tones. A cot sat in one part of the room, a rocking chair with a blanket seated beside it. A changing table lay against the back wall. Nappies, baby lotions, wipes placed neatly on a cupboard beside it. Various toys were neatly piled in another location in the room. It was perfect. 

“This isn’t all… I’ve also opened a saving’s account called ‘baby Shido fund’ ready to start putting money aside for when our baby grows up”

“You, the third richest man in the world, has opened a savings account?” MC laughed. Kazuomi simply smiled.

“My birth family had everything, until they had nothing. I don’t want to risk our baby going through the same sad childhood I had. This savings account will be all theirs, ready when it is needed. Whether that be for university, their first home, or if something happens to us… they’ll be ok… they won’t ever have to know what it is like to survive on the streets. I promise” 

Kazuomi pulled MC to him, burying his head in the crook of her neck. When he had first found out she was pregnant, it had scared him. 

Yet in this moment it felt right. They may not had planned this… yes MC may be a spy, and he may be him… but they were going to be the best parents to their baby.

Before MC, Kazuomi had been content living a life of solitude and engaging in loveless relations. Now, she had shown him the warmth of loving someone, and was giving him the privilege of loving and raising his own child.

Yuzuru Shiba…

In the years since Yuzuru had entered into a relationship with MC, both had changed in a number of ways. One way in which Yuzuru had changed, was that he had become much more aware of the feelings and changes in other people. 

So, when MC had started behaving differently in recent weeks, Yuzuru noticed. 

He had tried to subtly get MC to tell him what was going on. Was it a difficult mission? Was she eating and sleeping properly? Was she sick? 

Each time he asked MC about her day, however, she regaled the usual story. Missions were simple at the moment, she was eating fine, if anything more than usual, she was tired but nothing she couldn’t handle. Yet she always avoided answering if she was sick.

MC had stayed that night, yet when Yuzuru woke up, she was not beside him in bed. Instead, he heard the sounds of her being sick in the bathroom.

His hands felt the warm sheets beside him, telling him she had not been up long. 

Making his way to the bathroom, he called out to MC… “I knew something was wrong, you’re sick aren’t you!” 

“No!” MC yelled back, flushing the toilet and vacating the bathroom. “No… I’m not sick”

How could she say she wasn’t sick when he had just heard her throwing up through the door? 

Yuzuru was about to respond, frustrated, but MC thrusting something into his hand gave him pause. 

In his hand he held a pregnancy test. A positive pregnancy test. 

MC then handed Yuzuru four more tests, from different company’s all displaying positive results. 

Yuzuru’s eyes bulged in shock. His mouth went dry. He looked between MC and the test numerous times, before he made his way into his secret room. The heavy metal door locking firmly behind him. 

He placed the positive test down on his desk. His eyes then automatically moved to the picture frame on one of the shelves. The man, woman and two smiling boys… a happy family… looked back at him. 

The sort of family he had lost so young. Jun had taken care of him, and while he had many misgivings about his time in Italy, he was thankful for what she had done for him.

But he wasn’t sure he knew what being a family truly meant. 

He had devoted himself to his work. Until MC, he had never fully considered being a family with anyone. Although, since his relationship with MC began he had begun to picture marriage for love rather than for convenience. 

But a child? Was something like that possible for them?

As he thought about it more and more, Yuzuru came to the same answer over and over. 

“Yuzuru, you have been in here for 4 hours now. MC is still sat in the living room are you going to ask her to stay the night again?” The sound of Victoria brought Yuzuru out of his trance. 

MC?! Rushing from the room, he approached MC where she sat calmly waiting for him. 

“Yuzuru…”

“I’m sorry MC… something has come up. I need you to go home for today, I’ll contact you again as soon as I’ve sorted this… I promise” He spoke, kissing her gently and watching her go.

As soon as she leaves, Yuzuru enters his secret room once again. He doesn’t emerge again for three days, despite warnings from Victoria about his lack of sleep.

Finally, after three days he is finished with what he has been preparing, and contacts MC asking her to visit him at his home when she has the time.

A few hours later, MC arrived at Yuzuru’s home. 

“Were you working?” He asked surprised under the circumstances. 

“It was just a surveillance mission, and anyway I can’t exactly not show up to work when no one else knows I’m pregnant” 

Yuzuru smiled softly at her. So… only they knew still. He then asked her to wait for him to return on the sofa, quickly rushing into the secret room he had spent the last three days holed up in. 

Blushing slightly, Yuzuru emerged with his hands behind his back. 

“Look… MC… I’m sorry for holing myself away these last few days, especially when you needed me most. I just wanted to show you how serious I am about all this…”

Suddenly, he brings out from behind his back two handmade toys. A space rocket and a doll house. 

“Yuzuru?” MC asked, her eyes wide in wonder and a smile gracing her features. 

“I wanted to make our baby one of their first toys… but I not knowing if they are a boy or a girl, or what they would like playing with… maybe they’ll like dolls, or maybe they’ll be like me and love space and mechanics. All I know is, they’ll be ours. And I will adore them always.”

MC teared up hearing his confession. “You want this? You’re sure?” 

“I couldn’t imagine anything happier than being a family with you, MC. I love you. And I can’t wait to get to love a miniature us running around”

Yuzuru pulled MC to him, pressing his forehead to hers, he closed his eyes and smiled. 

 “Oh and MC…”

“Yes Yuzu?”

“Just so we’re both in agreement, you need to tell the EAC about this sooner rather than later, so they don’t try sending you out on any dangerous missions for a while”

MC laughed, agreeing happily

Who would have thought the CEO of Shiba would one day be starting a family with the woman he loved? A spy at that? Yuzuru himself, certainly never expected it.

But he was ready to provide his own little family with the lifetime of happiness he had wanted so desperately when he was growing up.

Kei Soejima… 

When Kei had received a message from MC stating they needed to talk, he had felt himself grow cold with concern. He had readily agreed to her coming over to discuss whatever was bothering her and so he had made himself available for her arrival. 

Hearing her pacing back and forth outside his door further increased his concern. 

As such, he readily prepared a special blend of tea, known for its calming effects. One he knew MC would enjoy. 

When she finally picked up the courage to enter his room, Kei acted as though he had not known she had been outside all this time. Welcoming her in and handing her the cup of tea with graceful movements.

Yet his eyes did not leave her. He tried to analyse her. What was she thinking? Was she sad? Worried? Angry? She certainly seemed nervous. 

But what could be making her so nervous? Things had been going quite well between them recently. 

The main stress facing them was MC still had not signed the contract to develop an agency with Kei.  Could that be what was bothering her?

Yet what MC finally disclosed as the issue concerning her was so far from anything Kei had imagined, he was momentarily shocked speechless. 

She had been very delicate in the way she told him that she was pregnant with his child, gently placing the positive tests on the table in front of them. 

Kei felt the emotional trauma from his youth spread through him. The burns and scars on his body began to hurt, as if they were being inflicted all over again.

To keep himself safe, to distance himself, he slipped on his princely façade. His mask firmly in place he smiled charmingly at MC. 

A dark shadow passed over his eyes as he relived those horrid days down in that church basement. His fingers, subconsciously, traced the outline of MC’s choker as she offered her warmth in a fruitless attempt to keep him with her in the moment.

Love had been such a foreign concept to Kei, until recently when he finally understood that feeling. While he understood it, he struggled still to accept these feelings of love. How was he supposed to learn to love another? A child?

As he struggled emotionally, Kei distanced himself from MC and the idea of being a father. 

Days passed. Then weeks. Still his turmoil left him unable to face MC.

That was until Kazuomi and Yuzuru, who he had shared the news with, informed him MC would attending her first scan soon. 

Had he really been so caught up in his past that he had left MC to deal with this alone for that long?

It seemed this was the news that Kei needed to cement him back in the present and fully understand what was happening. 

He immediately called Luke asking for him to be the doctor seeing over MC’s pregnancy. He then called MC telling her he had arranged with Luke the first scan, and that he wished to attend with her. 

When Kei and MC arrived for the scan, Kei was still cold. His eyes still held no light. Yet as he sat beside MC and watched as the scan picked up their baby the light finally returned to his hollowed eyes. A genuine smile even finding its way onto his face.

After returning home, Kei finally explained to MC what had been going through his mind when she first told him of her pregnancy. 

“I can’t promise you I’ll be perfect, I truly do not know what I am doing, but I will support you and our child, MC. That is something I am certain of.”

He finally embraced MC, breathing in her scent and sharing her warmth. His cold finger tips seemed to warm slightly too. 

He was still unsure of how to bring happiness to his child, but he was certain of two things. 

Firstly, he was going to do his best to provide his child with a warm and happy childhood. And second, he actually felt a surprising excitement at the prospect of being a father.

Two facts, Kei never thought he would be experiencing himself. Yet it came as no surprise to him that the woman who taught him it was ok to love and be loved, would also be the one to teach him what it truly meant to be a family.

I can't believe how much money I spent to get that cg... I love you Kei and I waited one year for this event, but my wallet cries every time I purchase your stories 🥲❤️‍🩹

[fallinglikestarrs]

Ok I have like a weird little headcannon of Rhion Hatter and Kei Soejima being friends…

I swear it makes sense because Rhion grew up in nobility being the son of Duke and all that and Kei grew up being son of an Earl so they 100 percent could have met at some high upper aristocrat party. Kei was really shy when he first started living with the Romleys (I think…..) and I can totally see him hiding out in the church near the Romley mansion and Rhion also trying to leave the party and hears that a church is nearby and runs there and boom they’re hiding together in the same pew. They become closer by bonding over dead parents 😀 and constantly trying to hide from everything and everyone, truly the best way to bond.

I have no idea if this makes sense or if I’m rambling like a lunatic 🤪

I just love my cute adorable british bois and I want them both to have all the happiness in the world 🥹

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My thoughts

The Masquerade Kiss stories are quite interesting and some seem to tease more about the story or relation to other characters! You can tell by the amount of context of Blood Moon and Kasatsubaki, that this is most likely how their routes would have been like if they weren't cancelled. Especially Blood Moon sounded interesting to me. Together with Chaen they might be one of the few Yandere types in the app. Chaens prompt holy moly. I would have been very intrigued how that would have played out. I'm curious what else they have planned for him. Also why can't Chiba just be happy. He got a story but it looks like he is STILL in the unrequited love dilemma :') Also happy to see more content about Mitsuharu! Though i wish it was a what if story with MC or maybe a story with Sen, as we already know a bunch about Kasumi and Mitsuharu, but that's complaining on a high level. Any Mitsuharu content is good content! Speaking of Plust, i was surprised by the sudden amount of steam when you jump to X (gosh he sounds like twitter)! Almost like MC became a groupie ohmy! I can only imagine the drama. The manager being a place short of Tomohiro is almost insulting xD It seems like PLUST or Throne in that matter did not appeal as much as hoped. I still hope we get to see more of it! It's even funnier that Furuya of Liar is that popular even though he is just as much cheating scum like Tomohiro. I guess people actually wanted to see a redemption arc for him?

Another story I would have loved to see is Fuzzys? Because I love her a lot and i want her to be happy as well. It would have been so funny to see how she hunts for men! Also Tatsunoshin! OHMYGOD There were so many good options!!

Now onto the winner I COULDNT BE HAPPIER IT'S MOMO. Sure a CG would have been nice but i keep my hopes, up that we might get one with Tsugaru together eventually or maybe we would even get his own route! But... BUT... they just had to have Tsugaru comment on his win. And he says he's pleased, so Momo is also happy that he entered. PLEASE he's about to get your girl haha Agh. This will be a very interesting story. I really wonder how they'll handle his girlfriend and Momo connection to Tsugaru. I GOT WAY TOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ELECTION. I am a side character afficionado. Also Miyayamaaaa!!! Last but not least: Where's Tokyo Love Hustle at :') I'm not sure if I'm happy that the rest of the cast is not listed as side characters (would mean their routes got cancelled) or if i'm sad because we might have been able to get some more content with it if they were?
