#sorry for the rambling lol i'm a little embarrassed now but ah well

[mintyyyjades]

I love this post, and I get this same feeling with flowering/fall foliage trees & snow in places far away from my home in Florida too. Adding to say it's also why I get excited to see mountains, they're so huge and majestic, and there are none where I live!

Pics are from separate trips to Canada and Japan, I look back at them repeatedly. miss you big rocks...

[erabu-san]

I had a fremellei brainrot I need to share with someone (I WOULD JOIN THE DISCORD BUT IT WOULDN'T LET ME FOR SOME GOD FORSAKEN REASON😭)

So, I doubt Collei would be able to swim. Maybe Tighnari tried to teach her but it just didn't work out. So while visiting fontaine, she mentions this to Freminet and she talks about how she'd like to be able to dive and look at all the sea creatures and explore. And she says it with this longing in her eyes that Freminet just MELTS for. And he nervously says-

"Well....I could teach you how to swim.....if you wanted..."

(I think this would happen after Collei gets a bit more comfortable with touch)

Collei just lights up at the idea and gets really excited. Not only because she'd finally learn how to swim, but also because she would have an excuse to spend time with Freminet!!

So Freminet starts giving Collei swimming lessons, going step by step to make sure she's comfortable. I think this would also be Collei getting to see just how passionate Freminet is about diving, and that would like- make her even more attracted to the sweet boy🥺

Finally, the day comes where Collei is finally able to start diving. Freminet is with her the entire time, and makes sure nothing bad happens to her. While Freminet is keeping watch for her, Collei is just having the time of her life. Looking at all the sea creatures, getting close to them (stressing out Freminet I'm sure lol). And Freminet just looks in her eyes, seeing the wonder and curiosity she has. And just that look, makes him fall for her even harder

Eventually the pull up and take a breather. They sit near the water and talk about the experience. Collei is just talking about how she's so excited to show Cyno, Amber, and Tighnari that she can swim, and also tell them about the cool stuff she saw. And she's saying all this Freminet's looking at her with pure adoration in his eyes. Thinking about how pretty she looks when she's all excited. And at that moment, all his self consciousness just kinda goes away, and he gets lost in Collei's presence

Collei eventually realize she was rambling and gets embarrassed and apologizes. Freminet reassures her that it's okay and laughs

"....that was amazing for your first time diving Collei.."

"Ah...was it really??? I'm glad!! I felt a little nervous at first but I knew I was safe because you were with me Freminet!!"

Freminet smiles and continues to look at Collei adoringly

"....you're amazing, Collei..."

And somehow, his body acts without him thinking and he gives her a kiss on the cheek. Collei is stunned by the sudden action and just freezes in place, face flushing with red and brain just short circuiting. Freminet soon realizes what he did and just thinks "oh shit I messed up- what if she hates me now?? I should've gotten consent, did I just ruin our friendship?? oh no, oh no, oh no-"

He clears his throat and stands up, trying to compose himself, telling Collei that they should head back now before it gets dark, swiftly trying to change the subject. And Collei's mind is racing, and she feels like she should say or do something. As Freminet begins to starts walking away, she stands up and grabs him arm

"Freminet-!"

"Hm-?"

And she pulls him back a bit, and returns the kiss on the cheek. They just .....stare at each other for a little while before both clearing their throats and being like "um yeah so we should go back now"

And they are both left internally SCREAMING after that incident. And I think that would be the turning point in their relationship where they realize they both have feelings for each other.

THEY'RE SO SWEET I LOVE THEM

a/n: inspired by real-life events HAHA taglist: @irethepotato, @kisara-16reblogs, @stygianoir

seeing you in your house clothes for the first time

featuring: Tanizaki, Atsushi, Akutagawa x GN!Reader

Tanizaki Jun'ichirou

He dropped by your place since you were sick and he brought some food (mostly soup) to help you feel better soon

If it weren't for Naomi pushing him he might not have been knocking at your door. He's too embarrassed at the thought of seeing you so vulnerable

After you finally opened the door, the sight of your limp and weak body made him forget all his silly worries

"Y/N-san you could have called any of us earlier!"

He immediately heats up your food at helps you lie down again in your bed, prepares a wet towel and even checks your temperature

"Calm down, Tanizaki-kun. It's not like I'm dying..."

He only manages to calm down once you start eating. He watches you as you slowly lift up your spoon and carefully chew your food. Even if it's silent and repetitive, for some reason he couldn't stop watching. It's almost mesmerizing.

You're still pretty when you're sick, he thought

That's when he suddenly becomes lowkey agitated again. Why did he have to notice just how well you look in your house clothes? Did you look good just because of the clothes themselves or was it because you just seemed so relaxed?

His heart begins to beat hard in shame. Now was not the time to be fantasizing about being with you-

"Thanks for the help"

Your grateful smile was enough to put him at ease once more. It didn't take long before you dozed off again. You did need to get as much well-needed rest as you could.

After cleaning your utensils he gazes at your sleeping form, admiring everything about you once again. How he wishes he could see this more often...

Nakajima Atsushi

It was your day off but the ADA needed some items sent to your place immediately, so they sent Atsushi to do it for them

He agrees to the errand without thinking twice. Sure, he's a bit flustered since he's going to your place for the first time, but he's there for business so he's not too embarrassed

Until he sees you in your very comfortable clothes.

"Thanks for carrying them all the way here! If you're not busy, you should rest here for a bit."

His cheeks immediately redden the moment he lays his eyes on you and they only become redder as you insist he come inside

In his heart he wants to go in but it feels like he's taking advantage of the situation so he keeps on refusing. Of course, he gives in eventually

He's stiffly sitting in front of the hot tea you made for him as you ask about the Agency and other matters; one thing goes in one ear then out the other.

His answers are short or sometimes rambling, other times he stammers and gets even more flustered than he already was.

Was it wrong to feel so casual around you like this? Was it wrong to want to feel like this around you?

Your bare face and unstyled hair was what caught him off guard the most. This is what boyfriends are lucky to see with their partners, right? So this is like a free trial of sorts-

"Ah, sorry for holding you here too long. Kunikida-san's going to look for you soon."

Honestly, he forgot about work lol

Since then he always offered to drop by your place if needed (not that he needed to initiate it - he's assigned to it because everyone but you knows his little secret)

Akutagawa Ryuunosuke

He was walking along the sidewalk when a familiar voice calls him

"Akutagawa-san, is that you?"

It didn't click in his head that it was you standing in front of him, carrying a plastic bag full of convenience store goods.

"...I'm not bothering you, am I?"

"No, no you're not."

It was just that the idiot was too stunned to speak. First of all, he didn't expect to see you of all people at this hour of the night. And second, he never thought he'd see you is such... comfortable attire.

It was strange to see you like this. You just looked so ordinary - which isn't a bad thing, by the way - and for some reason, more "attainable" in his eyes

"You want a drink?" you said as you handed a can to him

He coughs to hide his slowly reddening face, but accepts the kind gesture anyway.

Before his brain could finally process this sight in front of him, you were already about to leave

"...should I walk you home?"

His offer caught the both of you by surprise. He didn't know that he wanted to be with you this much to blurt out something so bold; why did he not be more prudent when he's out and about because of work? Did he really want to bask in your laid-back aura as much as possible?

To his one question (and perhaps all the ones after), you answered a big fat yes

You were blabbering about the whole time, but he didn't mind. In fact it made him feel at ease. Also, knowing more about your lifestyle was a bonus for him

Believe it or not he does enjoy the walks home since it's one of the few things he and Gin get to do together. He just never imagined he'd experience the same pleasure in doing the same thing with you.

[paradise-creator]

Hi! May I have a romantic heaven box BNHA matchup, please? :)

I'm Flo, a 19 years old bisexual girl.

Appearance: I'm 164 cm(~5'3) tall, with slim, kinda athletic body. I have medium long brown hair and same coloured deer-eyes(probably most attractive part on me), I also wear eyesglasses. I have thin mouth unfortunately. Also, I have a tiny little scar above my right eyebrow(I opened our car's door on my head years ago lolol), it's barely visible. I'm vain and always dress like a lady: so dresses and skirts, I have a classy, elegant or cute style, depends on my daily outfit. I wear light makeup, but not all the time.

Personality: Ambiverted, Virgo with Leo ascendant and Pisces moon. Needless to say, these already represent how confusingly dual my personality is. My behaviour constatntly changes, depending on who I am with: I try to sell myself, being two-faced, wearing a mask(sometimes I appear to be talkative, other times full-stoic), but to people I really do love, I'm quite blunt. Most of the time I'm caring and relatively kind person(but can be an asshole&harsh if tired emotionally). Highly critical, opinionated and rational-thinker, and I usually analyze everything: movies, books, other people, myself. HATE small talk, I always want to talk about some deep shit, sharing my opinions, thougts(only if you ask for it). Enjoy debating. Also, I'm the REALLY clumsy, like clumsy af and I have an invincible talent in getting myself into the most embarrassing, cringe situations. Hate appearing to be weak or crying in front of others(I never do), and generally I can get melancolic and depressed easily. I don't really trust even my loved ones, I always hide my deepest emotional(or whatever) issues, I just can't stand the fact being emotionally vulnerable. Also, I bottle up feelings well. But I can be soft sometimes which suprises people. One of my best friends said, I am suprising, always doing something unpredicted. Additionally, I stress over something all the time. About my humour, it's kinda ironic, dark, morbid, troll-ish; roasting, teasing people 24/7. Don't worry, despite my sometimes serious act, I can be a total dumb idiot. Selfish, vain, lazy,  snobbish hahah. Quite liberal, and I almost never judge people, I mind my own buisness. When I can talk about something I love or just sharing my opinion, I am passionate and be ready for a LONG rambling. Oh, I love alcohol and going out with friends, also I smoke those occassions. Plus, I have god-like hands, everyone told me that I could earn money bc of my massaging skills(I just know by instict how to touch people lol). Oh, and I daydream and zone out a lot.

Relationship: I don't really have a 'type' but I get bored easily: I takes a lot for me to really like in long-term a person, so I fall easier for complex and charismatic ones(but like I said, I can fall for other personalities too!!). I'm a quite difficult person to be with and to love, so I'm suprisingly flexible in a relationship. Only thing I need and without it wouldn't work at all: DEEP CONVOS AND SOME INTELLECT. Also, I have a quite roasting-bullying type humour, so my lover should understand and being able to handle that. Anyways, I'm not much of a PDA person(but I don't mid handholding, short hugs etc. if my partner really want to), and not romantic at all(also cannot flirt hehe), and for a long time I can be bit distant. Love language is words of affirmation&quality time, and if I have to express my feelings I'm best with acts of service. I love cuddling, ppl are suprised when I initiate hugs but tbh I love physical affection. I'm probably more likely the 'friend' lover. I need a lot, lot, lot alone time.

Hobbies/Likes: classical literature, theatre, politics, hiking, sightseeing, mysteries, reading about disappearances(crimes), trying out new things, yoga, running, horse riding, table tennis, listening to music

Sorry if I was too long, then just ignore me, hehe~

Hello and Welcome my Starlight!

The Haven box includes:

- Match up

- Sun drop

- Flashes of memory

- Such a loser

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

I'd match you up with

Bakugou Katsuki, Dynamight

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

Sun drops

- Honestly it took me a LONG time to think who you would match with

- There was Momo, Jiro, Denki, and Iida. I just couldnt pick

- But in the end, I choose my first option, Bakugou

- With Bakugou, one is never bored

- His sarcasm and snarky attitude can prove to be entertaining!

- Though he may not seem like it, Bakugou seem like a type of person that will never do small talk

- He's more of a listener tbh

- At first the relationship may be rough but in the end it all works out

- Bakugo is a complicated character, it's hard to read him and that's what makes it exciting

- He isn't into pda but in private, expect some INTIMATE times

- AGRESSIVE COMFORT

- He finds you so cute and entertaining whenever you tease/Bully other people

- ROAST COMPETITION NO CAP

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

Flashes of memory

Bakugou: Oi, Dumass!

Requester: Yes?

Bakugou: I Fucking love you so stop being a Dumbass!

Requester: I love you too and I'M NOT A DUMBASS

Bakugo: Your MY dumb

------------------------

Random guy: *Flirts with requester*

Requester: *Is trying not to kill the man*

Bakugou: TAKE THAT YOU PIECE OF SHIT! DON'T FLIRT WITH MY IDIOT

Kirishima: Ah, here we go again--BAKUBRO DON'T KILL HIM

-------------------------

Bakugo: OI, NERD

Requester: *ignores*

Bakugo: OI DUMBASS DONT IGNORE ME!

Requester: *Continues to ignore*

Bakugo: Fine! I'm sorry for gatting you mad

Requester: That wasn't so hard now is it?

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

Such a loser

"Oi, I heard from Shittyhair you've been criticizing yourself to harshly again. What are you such a dumbass?" Bakugou yelled as she stomped his way towards his girlfriend. "And what if I am?" She replied as she looked away from her book. The brown haired girl was just peacefully reading in her dorm. Nothing much was really going on, she was just studying. She has the tendency to be harsh on herself. And with classmates like hers, it often happens. And as a Boyfriend, Bakugou thinks it's his responsibility and his problem that if his love is sad or hurt or insecure, he will make sure they are loved.

"Get off of the fucking floor and go to bed. We're gonna cuddle and you can't say no as an answer," Bakugo growled. The girl sighed and placed her book down, it's not like she wants to deny anyway. So they went to lay on the bed. Bakugo pulled her head on his chest and wrapped an arm around her." You idiot! Stop being harsh on yourself, dammit," He said as he placed his head on top of hers. "You are already perfect. That's why you got to shut taht pretty little mouth of yours and accept that you are," He added.

Author's note

Hello there! Sorry for the wait, I was quite tired but here is the Haven box as requested.

[synthetickitsune]

HI hi, I hope you had a good day today. I've been really enjoying the kinktober so much. Even though I don't know or stan all the guys I've ended up being dragged into their respective group and it's been a lot so thank you for that or curse you for that I don't know XD. Also, you are a good writer and i think it's normal to improve and you improved really well. Oh, I forgot to say I'm the "new anon" who made the two in one Lee Soohyuk requests last week (you know the supernatural monster one). I just saw that you aren't doing anymore requests does this mean that you won't be receiving any request from this day on or won't be doing anymore requests in general? I also wanted to ask which of your writings is your favorite(s) or which of your own Fics would you recommend? I hope you are enjoying the spooky season have you done anything halloweeny yet or are doing anything in preparation for Halloween day, like costume, decoration or an event?

Hello, hi! Thank you, I hope you've had a good day as well! ♡ (Also just a heads up, I'm really talkative today and I didn't know? Lol, sorry for the long answer anyway!)

I'm happy to hear that! Honestly I didn't expect I'd actually manage to write all of the prompts (I mean I still have a couple more to write lol) so I'm really surprised. And you're welcome~ just fall deeper into the rabbit hole haha. There's no such thing as liking too many groups.

Aah!! You have no idea how glad I am to hear that!! Tbh I'm kind of getting to a point where I don't cringe that much when I'm sometimes re-reading some of my fics so I guess I must've improved a little lol. And as for the requests, it just means that I'm not really receiving new requests for now since I want to focus on writing those already in my inbox as well as some of my ideas that I'm working on. Somehow I have too many fics in various stages of being finished right now and it's starting to make me feel a little overwhelmed since I'm not used to working on more than one thing haha.

Oh! Interesting question, let's see... Well, now that I'm thinking about it, I guess my favorite writings that I've written are actually fics that are not currently posted anywhere lmao. They're two comfort fics, one with Dazai from the BSD anime and the other is with Michael Langdon from AHS season 8, and they're honestly about the only fics that I've written couple years ago that I'm not embarrassed by? I also wrote some Alice In Borderland fics that I really like I guess? And I'm also sort of proud of my Junhui fic I've recently written, and I enjoyed writing it so much, and the same goes for my Hwiyoung fic/drabble collection, so those I'd recommend probably.

Honestly, I'll probably just watch the Nightmare Before Christmas, maybe read some scary short stories, I'm not too good with scary stuff and have like two friends haha. What about you, anon? I hope you're enjoying the spooky scary season as well!

And if you've read this far, I feel like you deserve some compensation for dealing with my ramblings lol. Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer but a little teaser for one of the Lee Soohyuk requests, so yeah~

And thank you for messaging me again! I'm happy to hear from you ♡

Vampire Souji Dream!

Here’s the rest of that vampire Souji dream! SO, a small point I have to make, Dream me KNOWS subconsciously about the stuff Souji’s suffered through/I have a huge soft spot for him which is why Dream me got 1000000% instant attached to Souji. It was kinda hard to put that into words though, so I thought I’d explain it beforehand. It’s just a written out dream, so don’t look too much into it. Basically, it’s what happened. I use “Etsu” as my in game name in all my games, so that’s what I referred to myself as. ^v^;

T for suggestive themes? Everything’s pretty much implied lol

Her eyes blinked a few times, trying to get used to the different shades of blue shining in her eyes as people danced, grinded, and moved against the obnoxious beat of the music. She stared out at the dance floor where several of her friends waved at her for her to join them.

She gave them an apologetic smile and shook her head. She wasn’t a dancer in public. Maybe in the comfort of her home, but usually nothing more than a head bob to the beat or tapping with her foot.

She took a small sip of her Mimosa. It had been a while since she’d been out with friends, and had an alcoholic drink. One every now and then wouldn’t kill her.

A shiver ran up her spine. She certainly wasn’t cold, especially not with all these people inside the club.

As she took a small, but long sip, she was trying to figure out who was watching her. She could feel a pair of eyes burning into her, but she was trying not to show that whoever was staring at her was affecting her.

A drink was placed next to her.

She almost spit out her own. Even with the blue hues illuminating the club, she could tell his eyes were a vivid green. Her breath hitched as she traced his features with her eyes.

She was gaping at him, but she couldn’t stop. Her eyes finally landed on his curved, sly smile. “Hasn’t anyone ever told you it’s rude to stare?”

“S-s-sorry!” She immediately apologized, her heart leaping out of her chest the moment she heard his voice. Her eyes quickly went to her drink, her face red with embarrassment. She was never any good at hiding her emotions. 

Cool fingers guided her chin to look over at him again. She couldn't peel them away this time. "You seem a bit out of place." His other hand gestured to her navy blue dress that went past her knees. She looked more like she was going to Sunday church mass rather than the club. 

"Um, I, well, I'm…I-I…" She took a breath, trying to steady her shaking voice, which made his sly smile turn into a smirk. How refreshing that he should have to go up to a girl, rather than her crawling into his lap like so many do every night. "I was dragged along…I don't really…" Her voice got quieter as she realized she was rambling. "…Come to places like this." 

"I never would have guessed." He traced her lower lip with his thumb. Her breath hitched again at the small action, which made him want to continue poking and prodding her to see her reactions. She reminded him of someone from a very long time ago. He brushed the thought aside. She was his new toy, his new meal. That's all they were to him now, he'd decided a long time ago. "Would you like to try something new today?" 

His whisper tickled her ear, trying to will herself into saying no, but her body was betraying her as she leaned into him. "I-I don't even know your name, how can you easily say something like that?" She finally blurted, pulling herself from him. 

"Okita Souji. You may need to know it beforehand." An impish smirk this time. 

Even his name, just the sound of his name was pleasant to her ears. She was fascinated by him, entranced, hypnotized. "You can call me Etsu. It was nice meeting you, Okita-san." Her feet were too eager to take her away from the bar and to the bathroom or even outside.

His grip on her wrist was gentle, but firm, not leaving any room for escape. "Now, now, we've just met and you want to leave so soon?" His throat was dry, and she smelled too sweet to just let go. He'd convince her. No one had resisted him. He could feel her skin warm up at the contact, which made him raise an eyebrow as he heard her pulse quicken. 

Oh, how she wanted to escape. She was an adult, for God's sake. If she wanted to sleep with a handsome man, she should be able to without feeling guilty! 

There was a part of her that was telling her to run away, to say no, and forget all of it. She didn't know him or what he was capable of. She'd been told many times that she was too trusting of others. 

Yet, there was a small voice that told her to go for it, just grab his hand and let him lead her where he might. To just give in and…

She stopped her thoughts there as she looked back at him, into those captivating green eyes. Determination trickled into her eyes as she grabbed his hand before she could even think about what she was doing. Swallowing a lump in her throat, and her face flushing a bright red, she nodded. "What did you have in mind then?" -- Her eyes fluttered open and quickly glanced up, finding the source of her hands being restricted. They were still in the handcuffs. Her memory was both blurry but clear. A blush spread across her cheeks as she realized the position she was still in. 

In his living room, a rather simply decorated room with rusty red walls and swords hung as decorations, Souji sat there, polishing a sword. "Has it been over a hundred years already, Hajime-kun?" He murmured to himself, cleaning it with much care as he thought of those days he spent sparring with him. 

His ears picked up the sound of a pulse racing. His meal must've awoken. Carefully, he slid it back into the scabbard and hung back on the wall in its rightful place with the others. He took his time approaching the door, and leaned against it, crossing his arms as he watched her struggle a bit before giving up. "Trying to leave so soon?" Ah, there it was again, the nice pink on her cheeks, despite having spent the night getting familiarized with each other in the dark, she was still so shy. 

"O-Okita-san…" The sheet slid lower, the more she tried to pull it back up with her feet. 

He snorted. "Back to 'Okita-san' already? Last night-" 

"Yes, I am aware, thank you! Please let me out!" 

Souji walked over slowly, staring at her with the eyes of a predator. He hadn't been able to get his fill, since he'd gotten distracted. He unlocked one of the handcuffs, bringing her wrist up to his lips, his fangs grazing it lightly before he finally sunk them in, earning him a little gasp of pleasure. He didn't drink much, just a bit to soothe his small thirst. He skillfully ran his tongue over his puncture marks and looked over at her. "As uptight as you seemed, you're into a lot of surprising things, aren't you? It's always the quiet ones." He snickered as he released her other wrist. 

Her hands immediately grabbed ahold of the sheets and wrapped them around her. "I-I…" She honestly had no idea what to say. As much as she tried, she honestly couldn't regret the night she spent with him, if anything, she craved it again, but was more curious about him as a person. She didn't know much about him before getting into bed with him other than his name. "So…" She cleared her throat, trying to fix her very messed up hair. After a few moments of him staring at her, she finally let go of the breath she'd been holding. "That was a first for me, and I bet you could tell…I-I'm not like this, but you…" Her eyes finally met his. 

"Don't get this wrong, Etsu-chan." Souji grabbed one of her wrists and pulled her swiftly so she was lying on her back. He placed his hands at her throat. "You know what I am. You probably have an idea of what I'm capable of, and while it was fun, I could kill you here and now," He squeezed lightly to cut off her airways for a moment. "For fun." He could see the fear in her light brown eyes. That's right, he was a monster that was supposed to be feared. She, and the rest of the humans, are just his food source and playthings. 

Coughing, she stared into his cold, jade eyes. They weren't just cold…she could see something else in them…pain? Loneliness? He was trying to push her away. "But…" She took a slight breath. "You won't." 

Souji glared down at her. "I'm very much capable of it." He bared his fangs. "I could suck you dry here and now." 

She swallowed a lump in her throat. He was trying to push her away. It was too late, she was drawn to him. She becomes attached to easily, a flaw of hers. She barely knew him, but here she was, trying to barge her way into his life. She wanted to know everything about him. What made him tick? What has hurt him? How can she help him? The fear in her eyes was replaced by sadness. Tears started to well in her eyes as she looked at him. "Will you really?"

Had he gone too far? No, not enough if she was still here. "Yes." He disappeared into the living room to let her get dressed. -- She couldn't stop thinking about the way his eyes looked. "You're so stupid. You don't even know him, why do you already care?" She mumbled to herself. It was just a fling, a one night stand. She shouldn't have let her emotions get the better of her. "Idiot." She lightly hit her forehead as she finished combing her hair through with her small comb she kept in her purse. 

When her eyes were upon him again, her body moved on its own, arms wrapping themselves around him, face burying into his back. He was shocked at the action. "What are you doing?" Even though his question was dripped with annoyance, he made no move to break out of her embrace. 

"Don't push me away because I won't leave." 

"I'll call you a cab." 

"Okita-san, I don't know why, but…" She reached over to grab his wrist in an attempt to stop him from making the call. "You've endured a lot alone. Everyone you cared about has left you. You're alone. I want to change that." 

"I'll kill you if you come around. Just leave and don't come back. You were just a meal." He grabbed her wrist and pulled her away so he could make the call. "A meal and entertainment. I don't think anything else of you." 

His words did sting, but she knew better. She was going to come back. --- No matter what he tried, even after he harshly sent her home after her confession, she came right back to him the next day, and the day after that, and everyday. Even if he brought over women, she still kept coming back. It was frustrating. It had been a mistake to have approached her in the first place. Souji thought she would've been an interesting meal, thinking it would've stayed that way, but it had turned into something more. 

Right as he was polishing Kondo-san's sword, the doorbell rang like it usually did at around six pm. Reluctantly, he carefully set it down and went to let her in. She always greeted him with a smile and a little wave. "Souji-kun~." 

"Here to bother me again?" Souji shuffled back to the living room with her at his heels. 

"Bother? Well, I guess so, if you see it that way." She shrugged. He wasn't the first person to say harsh things to her. "What are you doing?" 

He silently went back to polishing the sword. 

"Shinsengumi's First Division Captain Okita Souji." 

Souji froze. He hadn't heard that title in a very, very long time. His head turned, curiosity ignited at her mischievous smile.

"I got it right, didn't I?" She kneeled next to him. "I remembered hearing your name somewhere in a history class." 

"I used to be. I'm not the same person I was then." 

"I wouldn’t think you were. You've lived through many events now, you're older. Hmmmm, I'd say you're over 170 years old? Although I don't trust my math." She chuckled, rubbing the back of her neck. 

"175, actually." Souji chuckled, sheathing the sword. "Well, what do the history books say about the Shinsengumi?" 

"They didn't mention how good-looking you were." Giggling, she took out a folder from her bag. "I know you probably know-" 

"I actually don't. I'd rather rely on my own memories and knowledge." Souji took the folder to look at it. It contained brief biographies of each of the Shinsengumi officers, their death dates, how they'd passed, things he had an idea of. The more he read on, the more he remembered, the good and the bad. He'd been too late. Everything had slipped through his fingers while he had been in bed. 

Souji looked over at her. Her hand was gently squeezing his shoulder. "I know to everyone, even to me, these people are just names and events on paper. They happened, they're interesting like a novel, but to you…these are people you knew, lived with and cherished, weren't they?" 

Souji sighed; she was never going to leave him alone, was she? "Yeah…We all came from a poor dojo in Ezo. I had no purpose after they were gone, after Kondo-san was gone, but someone has to remember them the way they were." 

"But remembering is painful, isn't it?" 

Before she could continue, his lips were already on hers. "So, make me forget then." He'd been expecting her to blush and excuse herself, but this time she pulled him back in. 

"Let's forget about everything then." She murmured. 

"Such a bold thing for you to say, Etsu-chan." 

Rather than giving him an answer, she offered him her neck. "It's been a while since you've fed, hasn't it?" 

Chuckling, he kissed her neck. "You keep track of my feeding habits too? What are you a stalker, or do you have a vampire fetish?" He felt her skin grow hotter. Ah, there it is, her cute blush. 

"I-I do not! I just care for you, Souji…" 

"Last time, I discovered some of your fetishes, let's see if I can find some more~." 

"Sou-" She bit her tongue to bite back a moan as he sunk his fangs in. 

"Let's see how long you can keep quiet." He smirked against her skin. 

Of course, he won that bet.
