rika time please~ 🩵

things you said at 1 am + rika/chishiya — @xoteajays

aaaaahhhh i've been daydreaming about this convo forever i'm happy i finally got to write it down!! thanks for the request!!

Rika hums quietly to herself, leaning her head against the wall. The office building she and Chishiya have taken shelter in for the night isn’t exactly built for sleeping, but even if it was, there’s no way she’d be able to crash. The adrenaline from barely escaping the King of Spades with their lives hasn’t died down yet, still keeps her hands twisting her knife around and around to keep them busy. 

A vibration through the floor catches her attention, her head whipping at lightning speed to face the window. Chishiya’s hand is flat against the floor, eyebrow raised at her from where he’s made a makeshift bed out of the seats of rolly chairs, nestled in the corner facing her. The moonlight makes his hair look lighter, casting a shadow across his face as he pushes himself up and quickly signs, Humming louder than you realize.

Sorry, she signs back, flinching at the pain shooting through her shoulder at the movement. Yeah, being shot is going to make signing a lot harder. “Sorry,” she repeats out loud, careful to not project too much.

His eyes flit to her shoulder, then to her leg, where blood still stains her pants from her second hit. “How bad is it?” He asks, enunciating his words clearly. The warm feeling in her chest almost disguises the burning in her shoulder.

“I’ll live. More bothered by the blood,” she lies. “I liked these pants.”

Chishiya stares at her for a long moment, eyebrows furrowed like she’s a puzzle he can’t figure out. “You don’t have to lie.” The not with me is unspoken, but still rings through the room.

She purses her lips, shrugging her left shoulder. “Would it make you feel better if I told you it hurts like a bitch?” 

“No,” he says shortly. “I would feel better if you weren’t shot at all.”

Rika's eyebrows raise abruptly. “Oh, so you do like me.” She smirks with delight, cocking her head. “And here I thought you’d dance around your burning attraction to me until your death.”

His lips twist upwards slightly before immediately leveling out. “When we first teamed up, you told me you’d do whatever it takes to get out of here. Last night, you took a bullet for me. Were you lying when you said that?”

His dark eyes bore into her, exposing her in a way she never did with Karube or Aguni. Her first instinct is to lie again, deny, deny, deny, but he can read her better than anyone else. And honestly? She’s not sure she wants to lie to him. “I wasn’t at the time. I’d be lying if I said it now, though.” Rika levels her gaze, meeting his eyes unflinchingly. “I’d do it again, too.” 

Eyes crinkling at the corners, Chishiya scans her as if looking for any sign of a lie. Probably is. Finally, he leans back. “You shouldn’t. Next time it’ll get you killed.”

“And how would you feel about that, Chishiya?” A flicker of hope burns in her chest. She knows, but she wants so desperately to hear him say it.

His eyes darken. “You know exactly how I’d feel.” He pauses as the hope dies out before adding, “Don’t risk yourself for me again, Rika.” And then he lays back down, shutting his eyes and curling in just enough for his mouth to be out of sight. 

Asshole.

Miyata Rika

FANDOM: Alice in Borderland

FIC SERIES: Knife's Edge

ENTERS: S1 EP2

FACE CLAIM: Karen Fukuhara

CHARACTER TYPE: Main Character

AGE: 24

GENDER: Cis Woman

SEXUALITY: Pansexual

LOVE INTEREST: Daikichi Karube, Morizono Aguni, Shuntarō Chishiya(endgame)

All Rika wanted was to grab a book from the libaray. Should have been a simple task, but all she did was blink and, all at once, she was alone. All the people she'd been slipping her way through were gone in an instant. Suddenly alone and without any electricity, cell signal, or hearing aid, Rika began the search for others in this alternate Tokyo, desperate to find anyone. Soon enough she stumbled upon, and won, her first game, beginning to learn the rules of the Borderland. But the basics weren't enough for her - she wanted to understand how, and why, she was here. So when a man calling himself the Hatter invites her to a place called the Beach, touting its luxurious lifestyle and goal to collect all the cards, Rika is quick to take him up on his offer. But the Beach is dangerous for a woman, especially one who's hard of hearing, and Rika quickly decides she needs someone to be her ears, to want to protect her with her limitations. Seducing the stoic military leader Aguni is a strategic choice, with his high standing and close relationship with the Hatter. But when she starts to notice Chishiya around the Beach, he piques her interest in a way no one else has. When she approaches Kuina and him about being a double agent so they can steal the cards and get out themselves, the two are surprised but accept her offer. Working with Chishiya bring up unbidden emotions, feelings she can't risk showing when she's with Aguni. But when it comes down it, all Rika wants is to get back home and she'll do whatever it takes to get back there. No matter who's in her way.

If you have any questions about Miyata Rika, feel free to drop an ask! 

[bibaybe]

i'll ask you things!

2, 14, 19, 23, 27, 41, 49, 50

hell yeah thank you my savior!!

2. Of the ones you've written, what's your slowest slowburn? How slow is it?

technically unwritten most of my ocs are lmao. but bay and leo are definitely the slowest! they don't get together until the trials of apollo series and they meet pretty early on in the lost hero. there's - at the very least, given i haven't decided which book they get together in - 6 books before they get together.

14. Are there any relationship dynamics/tropes you want to write in the future, but haven't yet?

i want to write more breakups! i've realized lately that most of my ocs only have one relationship during the course of their whole story, and i want to start exploring breakups and the dynamics after, along with the different reasons people might break up.

but hey, you ever want to see what kind of dynamics i want to explore in future characters, feel free to check out my future character inspo playlist!

19. Pick a work/fandom you've written for. If your couple didn't end up together, who would they get close with with instead?

omg OKAY i was just thinking about this lmao originally willow, my teen wolf oc, was supposed to be a liam ship!! so if willow wasn't head over heels for stiles, she'd definitely had a crush on him, but bc of her will-they-won't-they with stiles, she and liam end up having more of a sibling relationship when she makes it clear she isn't interested

23. Do you think you idealize relationships in fiction, or are your depictions grounded in reality? How often do your characters make mistakes?

lmao i definitely tend to idealize them, which i'm trying to change! my characters tend to be very emotionally healthy, but that isn't super realistic lol. my characters make mistakes pretty often, though some certainly make more than others

27. Do you have any characters who are hopeless romantics? How do they interact with the story?

willow! she's a secret hopeless romantic, but she hides it most of the time. for most of the story, she's getting used to the concept of really being loved, platonically and family-wise, and dealing with a seemingly unrequited crush, so it's not until season 5 that we really get to see her outwardly express her hopeless romantic tendencies. she really wants true love and will devote herself to the people she loves, but this is really shown when stiles kills donovan in s5 and she barely blinks before keeping his secret, no questions asked. all she wants is the same in return, and she gets that with stiles.

41. Who's your most repressed/oblivious character? Who's your most aware character? What makes them different?

carter is probably my most oblivious character while emika is definitely the most repressed. carter is oblivious in a romantic sense bc she tends to notice george's hints, but she convinces herself they're just friendly advances while emika has repressed most of her feelings due to trauma and it takes a long time for her to start exploring her emotions and allowing herself to feel them.

rika and ruby are probably the most aware of their feelings, but in different ways. ruby is extremely good at reading people and using that to manipulate them, and while rika is similar in that aspect, she's also very emotionally aware and is forever burying her feelings in order to survive the borderlands.

49. What's your favorite relationship dynamic that you've seen in another work of fiction? Has this influenced your writing at all?

PERCY AND ANNABETH CHASE. willow and stiles have been influenced by them so much - the devotion to each other, the willingness to go to hell for each other - they're the fucking blueprint. i can only aspire to write a relationship so well. they're everything to me.

50. Free space! Brag on yourself! Advertise your writing! What are you most proud of recently?

screaming i haven't posted anything in forever help.... OKAY went through my drabbles and this is probably my favorite thing i've posted! it's about jordan and will's first kiss and i really like how i wrote the kiss itself -

Instead, Jordan pushes himself up and Will meets him in the middle, noses bumping as they tilt their heads, trying to get the right angle. Jordan giggles at the absurdity of it all but is cut off but Will’s lips pressing against his own. Jordan’s body crackles with electricity as their lips move slowly, uncertainly, against each other. His ADHD brain latches onto the feeling of Will’s hands, slack against his shoulder, pinkie rubbing his skin lightly. Every inch of him begs him to move closer, to touch him in some way, but he holds himself back, focusing instead on memorizing how their lips fit together, the chapped skin digging into his lips in a way that sends delighted shivers through his body. 

idk its just sweet and he's pining so hard and for someone whose never been in a relationship, i like to think i did a good job lmao

thanks so much for asking!! loved answering these :)

ask game / ask me!

[bibaybe]

I'm so curious about Rika and Chishiya's relationship!!Plz tell all

so i got two asks about this, so you can see their dynamic in season 1 here!

season two is where they're kind of capable of actually showing their feelings for each other in a public setting, so rika takes advantage of that most of the time. during the witch hunt at the end of season 1, rika got shot in the arm and proceeds to get shot a second time in the leg during the King of Spades hunt, so we get a lot of chishiya taking care of her, bandaging wounds, etc, and its super cute and sweet when she's not being bitchy. ("why am i the one that keeps getting shot, huh? couldn't you take one for the team?" "next time the king of spades comes around, i'll get shot if it makes you feel better" "you better.... actually, don't do that. i like you in one piece" "yeah, that's what i thought")

she doesn't hide her feelings for him in the slightest, but he still keeps a bit of distance bc, shocker, they're in the borderlands and he doesn't want to be wrecked if she dies, duh. but she's more of the mindset of, fuck it, i could die anytime, if i die i want to have been with you. but she doesn't push him or anything, just makes her stance clear and lets him do the rest.

i'm not sure when they officially get together yet? i've got 3(maybe 4 i can't remember) episodes left so i haven't mapped that out yet. all i know is that, if they meet aguni and heiya which i assume will happen? awkward if it doesn't bc i've got a whole thing planned out and might just make happen anyway. BUT i think they still aren't officially together at that point, but chishiya is more comfy with the idea at that point. but when they run into aguni, rika has to deal with how she used and hurt him and basically tell him that everything she did was fake. and at the end of the convo, he's like, "when did you start falling for chishiya?" and she's just like... awkward didn't think you knew sorrryyyyy but like forever ago and its kinda awkward but unbeknownst to rika, he'd suspected she had feelings for him towards the end of their time at the Beach, so during their time apart he had time to come to terms with it

also unbeknowst to rika, after their talk he talks to chishiya and is like "she's special and she chose you. you better realize how fuckign good you have it and not let anything happen to that girl or i'll kill you myself" and they come to a mutual understanding and idk if they ever tell her but thats a thing

also heiya trying to flirt with chishiya and him just kind of ignoring her and then seeing rika and chishiya flirting when they think they're alone bc the only time they get distracted from their surroundings is when they're together and being like i have gotten rejected twice now bc of this bitch i stg i'll kill her but then they actually end up becoming friends after they have to work together and idk its just kinda funny to me

anyway chishiya and rika being each other weaknesses and strengths is just something i really like thinking about and they are so fucking personal to me i love them

📏 + rika and her ship boys — @xoteajays

aww she looks so tiny by aguni and karube but at least she has an easier time kissing chishiya

[bibaybe]

rika x ur choice of her ships for the angsty ship meme — @xoteajays

i chose rika and aguni!

who is more likely to get injured doing small tasks: rika, though it happens mostly bc of her hearing loss

who worries more about the other: aguni for sure

who is more afraid about the other leaving them: okay this is hard bc rika always has an undercurrent of worry that he'll figure her out and leave, but towards the end of s1, it would definitely be more aguni

who is more likely to leave (for any reason): rika. definitely rika

who is more likely to drunkenly confess: rika, tho she's probably confessing something besides her love

who is more likely to push the other away (for any reason): aguni. it takes him a while to accept rika's 'feelings' for him

who picks fights more often: rika, tho she tends to pick small fights that she knows won't cause real issues in their relationship

who usually apologizes first: also rika

who is more likely to withhold their feelings for the other: aguni

who is more likely to lash out at the other: rika

who gets more jealous: def aguni

who is more likely to support the other in a relationship with someone else “as long as they’re happy”: rika! aguni.... takes a while to get there

thanks for asking!

Send a pairing for the angsty ship meme!

from the not-so-nice meme: alone, fear, future, ghost, skin + miyata rika (since i’m on my aib bullshit. again. agshdjdkdl) — @xoteajays

pretty sure i'm answering this months after you sent it but!! i'm answering it so that's a win!!

alone - how does your oc deal with loneliness? have they ever been completely alone before? how do they act when there's no one around to see?

rika has spent most of her life feeling lonely due to the fact that she's hard of hearing and spent a lot of her life being bullied for it. it doesn't help that most people don't know sign language or aren't willing to learn or accommodate her disability. she pretends like it doesn't hurt her and, pre-Borderlands, threw herself into school and her dreams. but even though she was lonely, she'd never really been alone until the Borderlands. rika tends to be pretty on guard when she's alone mostly because she doesn't have all senses to know for certain.

fear - what's your oc's greatest fear? what do they do when confronted with it? are they open with their fear or do they hide it away?

rika's greatest fear is the unknown. she's terrified of not knowing everything, which is part of why she learned to read lips in the first place. rika tends to ignore conversations about the unknown, such as the fact that no one really knows whether collecting all the cards will really get them out of the Borderlands. she's not open with her fear, but given her refusal to accept any arguments against her theories, the people closest to her can tell.

future - what's the worst possible future for your oc? are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? are they even aware of it's a possibility?

rika's worst possible future would be never escaping the Borderland and eventually dying there. she's definitely attempting to stop that by teaming up with kuina and chishiya to get all the cards.

ghost - who or what haunts your oc? what happened? how do they live with their ghosts?

karube haunts rika. the last conversation they had, she ripped into him when she was really angry at her sister, and tore him up in the process. and then she finds out he's dead and all can she think about is how he didn't deserve any of it and didn't deserve to be hurt of their sibling rivalry.

skin - how comfortable is your oc in their skin? do they grapple with anything that lives inside them - a beast, a curse, a failure, a monster? how do they face the smallest, weakest, most horrible version of themselves? are they able to acknowledge it?

rika is usually comfortable in her skin. she knows who she is and accepts that she'll never be the most liked person in the room. sometimes she wishes she could be softer, but overall believes that that would thwart her life.

[bibaybe]

does rika have an alice in wonderland counterpart like the other characters in aib? i’m curious 👀

not at the moment! i was never into alice in wonderland, so i honestly don't know enough about it to figure out a counterpart for her lol. honestly, i have no idea who everyone else counterparts are either. might look into it at some point and see if i can find a suitable counterpart, i just haven't done that yet

sexuality meme 1-9 for miyata rika or faith quinn? - @xoteajays

aaaaahhhh finally doing this lmao - sorry it took so long!

miyata rika

1: sexuality headcanon - pansexual 2: otp - rika/chishiya 3: brotp - rika/kuina 4: notp - rika/arisu 5: first headcanon that pops into my head - has insomnia! it makes being in the borderlands a lot more difficult for her 6: favorite line from this character - "i'm hard of hearing, not blind, dumbass. i can still read lips." 7: one way in which I relate to this character - we both adore chishiya? also we both have issues sleeping - i don't have insomnia, but i have to take melatonin to fall asleep until i'm like bone-dead tired 8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - once she's safe to show her feelings for chishiya, she's like, very over the top with them. usually that wouldn't give me second hand embarrassment but chishiya is very nonaffectionate so her being over the top and him just blinking at her in response pains me so much even though i know he's head over heels for her 9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - problematic fave, definitely
