Jibaku Shonen Hanako-kun 115 Theory

Okay, okay, OKAY.

(Spoilers btw.)

Long time not see, sorry, like a lot. I was busy... crying.

1,2,3 LET'S GO! So, if I understand what is going on correctly, in this new timeline...

Hanako is dead. I mean: DEAD. Like for real. Like no spirit or whatsoever. (Also TERU AND KOU'S MOTHER IS ALIVE OH MY GOD, EVEN IF I EXPECTED IT, OH MY DOG.)

Or not, (yeah, maybe not, sorry for the heart attack) it depends if the clock keepers went to the exact moment when Amane killed his fake assassin kind of a brother in the school for real. (And then he did a seppuku or something.) with the kitchen knife.

Or to the moment Tsukasa went straight to the cursed pit of their house when they were like... 5(?) years old to save Amane because he was dying of... some 1960 illness I don't know. He was pretty ill all the time. (My baby, you never have a rest, eh. I don't know what God is doing right now, but doing a good job is not on the list.) So if Tsukasa never met the THING and made a deal with it to save his brother, Amane could have died in the end, #killme :((((((

Anyways, what do you think? Are the other kids like number 3 gone for sure too? Pffft, my poor girl T.T The thing with number 6 never happened so he is still wandering in the other side not remembering a shit again? Will Aoi-chan (seriously, why these two have to be called the same? AidaIro what were you thinking, this is so confusing???) remember the other timeline/correct timeline?

I don't know but Kou is going to be so destroyed when this is over, Teru you are gonna need to contact a therapist this time, I mean, this kid got his dear mother and his (boy)friend back, my poor soul. At least hot (traitor) senpai didn't killed Mitsuba with this sh*t happening, I GUESS AIDAIRO. I DOUBLE GUESS.

I also think is pretty stupid for the clock keepers to go to the instant when Amane killed Tsukasa. Even if we saw the 1968 number all over last chapters. I think it could be smarter if they stopped the THING to come over to little Tsukasa in the first place. Or are they going to let Amane kill him and let them be, nah.

Or at least to stop Tsukasa to come back to Amane when they were little. So that way Amane would be alive (and traumatized for life anyway because his brother dissapeared) and their parents... too... Leave me alone, I'm sad.

I think this last one possibility is the most reasonable since the three girls who did the ouija thing/ceremony in class (there is no better place to do this sh*t? What is going on in Japan's schools anyway??) talked to some spirit called Tsukasa. And then one of them dissapeared, like, yeah. F*ck. Try again. (Even when they knew some other girl did this sh*t in the past and they never saw her again. Jezz, you were asking for it!!!)

Maybe Hanako saved everyone when he killed his brother and make himself one of the protectors of the school because WOW, you let this kids by themselves for a second and they are already dying like flies!!!

And I still think Yashiro is going to die either even if they changed this timeline, sorry not sorry, my girl will survive of course. But this present is so fake. Hanako wil try to find her to save her.

I KNOW. Believe in the... me, that believes in Hanako. (Still pretty weird the scene where we saw that old Yugi as a teacher wandering the school while the girls did the ouija. And the creepy smile in his face. Do you think that's really Hanako? Cause I don't know Rick,)

And what with the Hot senpai??? You have cursed blood eh, I knew something was wrong with this guy since the moment he survived EVERYTHING FROM THE START. (And you start to use it now, AidaIro, you both are ruffians. I love it, let them cook, let them cook...) This guy is immortal and bored to death, change my mind I dare you.

Well, that's all. But you know what? Let me dream and find in this plot something interesting and different, AidaIro. You never let me down. (Believe in the me taht believe in Hanako that believe in AidaIro that believe in Akane was so handsome in this last chapters like I BELIEVE IN ANGELS) I want to believe that the Yugi Tsuchigomori is talking about when he was asked about his broken watch, note that he said only Yugi as a surname (strange isn't it), so... what if that was Tsukasa? And not Amane.

What if Tsukasa is the one old and alive in this time line? It would be so cool to have Tsukasa and Yashiro working together to bring his brother back. What if Amane is now the evil psycho little kid.

Let me dream or write the fanfic. (Nah it wont make sense, the girls of the ouija called for Tsukasa, sighs.) BECAUSE WHO KNOWS, SOMETHING IS GOING ON IN THIS TIMELINE AND IS NOT OKAY.

ANYWAY, HANAKO KUN MANGA.

IS CINEMA.

[vulpiximisa]

I’ve grown fond of him eventually but honestly there’s a lot that I don’t care for when it comes to him and I don’t know if that’s his fault or the characters that he’s involved with’s (Tenn, Iori) fault.

[lavatory-sealed-hanako-kun]

"Earlier this summer, Akane-senpai and I tried out being cheerleaders like Yashiro-senpai. Sousuke-kun took the photo for us. Personally, I think I made for the best cheerleader!"

A little snippet of our 80s au thats inspired by both Stranger Things and The SCP Foundation. It takes place in the Japanese-American town of Kamome, located hours away from the next city in the deep forests and mountains, with Minamoto Kou as the protagonst.

A hardworking kohai | Aiichirou Nitori, Yamazaki Sousuke & Matsuoka Rin

A/N: Another one for always wonderful and amazing Max (@wertzunge) THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAAAX. It has been a HOT minute since I wrote something for Free! So nostalgic! ❤️ I hope you enjoy this one Max! ❤️❤️

Summary: Nitori lost a very important competition, but he'll learn that his senpai will always be there for him!

Words: 1k+

Don't. Cry. Do not cry! 

Nitori pressed the heels of his hands against his eyes to stop the tears burning in the corners of his eyes. He couldn't stand himself at that moment. He was angry, sad, disappointed and with a lot of emotions that almost made him go crazy.  He had been beating himself since yesterday afternoon. He hadn't left his room, not even for dinner or breakfast… if only he had been a little faster, just a couple of seconds faster– he would have definitely won, but he had come in an embarrassing second place. Nitori trained so much, harder than anyone, spending his free time practicing over and over again, but what did it get him? Nothing. All that time, all that tiredness, fear and anxiety for nothing.

One hundred meters wasn't that big of a deal, so how was it possible that he had failed so horribly? He made a fool of himself in front of his senpais… They must really be disappointed in him. Nitori didn't have the face to look them in the eye, so he thought the best thing would be to miss some of his practices, what was the worst that could happen? Getting expelled? Either way, at that moment he didn't think he was that good at swimming anymore. He couldn't even win a stupid hundred meter race. 

“Stop crying!” He growled, wiping a couple of tears damping his eyelashes. “I'm such a fool.” 

“Ai?” Nitori raised his head when he heard two knocks on the door. “May I come in?”

“Isn't it your room too?” 

“... Sousuke…,” Rin said awkwardly before clearing his throat, speaking a little louder for Nitori to hear him. “Ai, we're coming in, okay?” 

Nitori choked on a gasp and he curled tighter on himself under the blanket. It was Rin-senpai and Yamazaki-senpai! Nitori didn't want to see them, he felt so ashamed. Rin was always there to support him and Sousuke helped him train, Nitori had failed them. He made them waste their time on him. He simply couldn't look at them. 

When he heard the door opening, he nearly held his breath, not daring to move a muscle, wanting to make them think he was sleeping.

I want to die. He whined deep inside him, but refused to move. 

“Ai, training is about to start, are you not coming?” 

Nitori really wanted to look like he was asleep, but he couldn't resist answering his senpai. “I… I don't think I can train right now, Rin-senpai… I don't feel too good.” His voice was muffled under the blanket and his toes curled, hoping they would leave. 

“Ai, you did very well,” Rin continued and more tears filled Nitori’s eyes, he didn't want to hear that from him. He'd rather hear Rin yelling at him and telling him he was useless. “It happens, you know? You sometimes win and sometimes don't.” 

“That's not very helpful, Rin.”

“Sousuke!” 

Sousuke sighed deeply and Ai felt his heart racing within his chest. “What Rin's trying to say, Nitori, is that no matter how hard we work, how hard we train and try, sometimes it's not enough-”

“That sounds even more terrible!” 

“Shut it and listen… but that doesn't mean that we're not good at what we're doing, it just means that you just gotta push yourself a little harder and then, you'll see all of that hard work will not be in vain. That's just how things are, don't you think?” 

Small bitter tears fell down Nitori's cheeks. He really wanted to win that competition. It's true that he still had a year left before leaving high school, but he already felt the weight of time on his shoulders. Would he one day be as amazing as Rin and Sousuke? Nitori doubted it and was terrified that he would never make it. He didn't have much time left to practice, when was all his effort going to be enough? 

“Ai?” Rin asked softly, his hand patting Nitori's back as his sobs seemed to echo throughout the school. “Sousuke gave you some amazing words there, didn't he?” Nitori nodded, but he wasn't sure they were able to tell he did so under the blanket. “Don't beat yourself like this. You haven't eaten anything and you didn't go to class today. You did so good, Nitori.” 

“You definitely were so much cooler than Rin back in time.” 

“Oi. I was pretty cool. Just like Ai.”

“C’mon, Nitori. We still need to train. You're about to break your own record, remember?” 

Nitori was starting to feel guilty and even more ashamed than before. Sousuke's words had really resonated in his heart and knowing that they didn't really hate him after all made him feel overwhelmed. Now, he definitely didn't want to stick his head out from under the blanket, so he curled on himself even more, his crying stopping. 

“Ai? Do you feel any better?” Nitori nodded a bit. He felt better somehow. “Then, would you come out from down there?” He shook his head, he was still too embarrassed to look at them. “Ai…”

The room fell silent and Nitori was sure they would both leave. After that conversation he felt a little calmer, but he still didn't feel completely good enough to face them and– 

“Eek!” Nitori squealed loudly, his whole leg jolting when he felt fingers wiggling against one of his socked feet. 

“Oh? Did you see that, Sousuke-kun~?” 

Nitori gasped, pressing his hands over his mouth. 

“You're insufferable," Sousuke said, but Nitori could hear a smile on his lips.

“What do you mean~?” 

Nitori had no time for anything at all; in seconds, strong, firm hands were closing around his ankles and light fingers started to wiggled up and down both his soles. Ai exploded in loud giggles, pulling at his trapped feet and curling his toes. 

“Thahat tihickles!” Nitori said, finally emerging from under the blanket to look at his mean senpais tickling his feet. Each one grabbing one of his feet, Sousuke scratching at the skin under Nitori's toes while Rin skittered his blunt nails against his arch. 

“Oh, look at him, Sousuke! He finally came out!” Rin said with a huge grin on his lips. “He just needed a little bit of encouragement!” 

Sousuke chucked, “it seems like so. It's good to see you again, Nitori. Are you ready to get out of here?” 

Nitori shook his head, the tickling barely left him room to think about something else that wasn't that electrifying sensation. He laughed, squirming from side to side and desperately pulling at his legs. 

“N-Nohoho, plehehease! S-Stohohop!” 

“Did you hear that, Rin?” Sousuke asked, making Nitori shriek when he found out that his little toe was exceptionally sensitive and he scratched intently at the stem. 

“Oh I did,” Rin answered with a nod, his fingers focusing on the ball of Nitori's foot, making him scrunch his sole. “Ai clearly said that he needs more tickles to get convinced that he did super well in his competition!” 

“Mhmm. That's exactly what he said.” 

Nitori squeezed his eyes shut, laughing and squirming in the limited space of the bed. They were trying to kill him, definitely!

“Y-Yahahamazakihi-sehenpahai, plehease! Not theHEre!" He begged, curling his toes as hard as he could, feeling like his calf was going to get a cramp. 

“Huh?! Sousuke is making you laugh more? Not possible!” Rin said and Nitori squeaked when he pulled his sock off, his toes spread, feeling the cold air on his heated skin. “I'm definitely better at this. I have a little sister.” 

Poor Gou-san! Nitori thought as he banged his fist against the bed once Rin’s fingernails skittered across his bare foot. He scratched at the pinkish skin, as if he wanted to find something underneath. Nitori would like to cry out that it hurt, but it didn't! It almost felt like Rin wasn't even touching his sole as he tickled him viciously. 

“RiHIhin-senpaHAHAI! N-No m-mohOHOre!” 

“Hehe, you see? I'm way better than-” 

“AHAHAHA! N-Not there! Not thehehere, plehehease!” 

Nitori nearly banged his head against the bed rail when his other sock had also disappeared and Sousuke’s blunt nails scratched that very tender spot on the side of his big toe, around the slightly protruding bone. 

“Were you saying, Rin-san?” Sousuke teased and Nitori trashed desperately, tears of laughter running down his cheeks.

With a soft growl, Rin pulled Nitori’s toes back to make the skin taut and his fingers wiggled right in the middle of his foot, making Nitori cackle hysterically. 

“N-NO MOHORE, plehease!” Nitori begged, pulling at his legs. “It's tohohoo tihihicklish!” 

“Okay, but who's better at it? Me or Sousuke?” Rin asked with a big grin on his lips and Nitori could only shake his head. 

“Quickly, Nitori. We need to know right now.”

Nitori couldn't speak! His laughter only increased in desperation the more they tickled him, panicking at the thought of them never stopping, somehow. To say who was the best at tickling him? They both tickled him terribly badly! 

Nitori didn't know if he was the one that could free himself or if they let him off the hook, but he pulled at his feet and he could finally hide them under the blanket. He sat up, breathing heavily and wiping his tears as he pointed at them. 

“Y-Yohou both, s-suhuck so bahad!” He gasped out, his cheeks adorably pink and wet and his lips stretching in a big, big smile.

He should have known what he was getting into by saying those words, but he didn't even have time to regret it before having his two senpais on him. Four hands sneaked under his shirt, a pair latched to his sides, squeezing at his flesh. The other pair clawed at his tummy, even dipping a finger into his navel. 

Nitori shrieked, laughing brightly as he tried to fight those hands off. His legs kicked wildly behind Rin and Sousuke. He couldn't remember the last time he was tickled like this– perhaps since he was a child. Those mean hands didn't leave even a small piece of skin untickled, the sensitive skin between his ribs and hips was squeezed, lightly caressed, poked and prodded by Sousuke until the tickling settled against that soft and hyper ticklish spot right underneath his ribcage. 

Meanwhile, Rin vibrated his fingers against Nitori's tummy, clawed at it, squeezed it and poked repeatedly until he found a horrible ticklish place against Nitori's lower tummy, right under his belly button and between his hips bones.

Nitori was in hysterics, crying and laughing and having the fun of his life. He didn't remember how fun being tickled was! It felt nice to just laugh freely like this, his brain couldn't focus on anything else beside the tickling, so there were no intrusive thoughts making him feel depressed and anxious… but he was getting a bit tired. 

“I'm s-sorry! I'm sohohorry! Ahahaha! Plehease!” 

The tickling stopped and Nitori barely had time to catch his breath before he was trapped between Rin and Sousuke, their strong arms wrapping around him in a right hug. Nitori flushed, becoming stiff.

“W-W-W-What?!”

“You did so well in that competition, Nitori,” Sousuke mumbled at his right.

“That's right. We're very proud of you, Ai!” Rin said, gently patting Nitori's back. 

Nitori's wet eyes filled with tears again and he just couldn't help but hug Rin and Sousuke back, sobbing a little. 

“Thank you both very much!" He said in tears. "I promise you that I will try harder and harder!!”

Rin and Sousuke laughed happily and Nitori squealed when they started tickling his sides again, forcing out giggles out of him as he tried to keep hugging them.

"You haven't said who's better at tickling, though! It's obviously me!"

"Nope. It is me."

"STAHAHAP!"

It was really nice to know that his senpai appreciated him so much, Nitori would really continue to do his best so that they would always feel proud of him!

[haru-rain]

Mako is truly a love sensei !

And she's absolutely right, the fact that Mitsumi wants to protect Sousuke even though they're no longer together is a genuine proof of love. Mitsumi loves him for who he is and not for what he could bring her.

I'm really happy that Mako has taken the time to explain to Mitsumi that just because she's no longer in a relationship with him and has let him go doesn't mean she's no longer allowed to love him or that it means her feelings are inferior.

(And it also explains why Mako still loves the senpai)

[mari-lair]

Facing a conundrum rn and I was wondering if you could help??? Trying to write HanaKou but I couldn't figure out whether or not to use honorifics since in the official translation Kou only refers to the ghost as 'Hanako' leaving two possibilities:

1. Kou DOESN'T use honorifics to insult to Hanako (which makes sense since they're sorta frienemies)

2. Kou DOES use honorifics in the original version but the translators kept them out to appeal to wider audiences??? (It's probably this one but there's a lot of other instances that Kou use honorifics? Like Kou says Teru-nii and Yashiro senpai so why exclude Hanako-kun at all???)

Any help would be really appreciated!!

I don't know Japanese to check the og scans and give you a 100% correct answer but I am 99% sure it isn't a sloppy translation, Kou just doesn't use honorifics with Hanako.

Kou tends to be nicer to people he likes who are older than him (he always calls Nene, Aoi, and Akane 'senpai' and as you mentioned, teru is 'teru-nii') but he never uses honorifics with guys around his age. Not even the ones that are his friends: Like Yooko, Satou, and Sousuke

Even tiara doesn't get an honorific and he adores her! He is proud of her!

Kou is especially rude to supernaturals, I don't think there are any supernaturals Kou gives honorifics. Like, even when he is touched he calls Tsuchi a nice 'spider face' instead of showing him the respectful honorific a teacher would normally get.

The only exception to this is Yako, who he was naturally going to keep calling 'fox' even when she is nice, but only changed cause she was ADAMANT he called her Yako neesan. Only then does he change.

So is not necessarily a lack of respect, he just uses a more 'rude' speech.

Anime I watched in 2023 (Part 1)

In honor of the new year, I’m gonna be casting a look back at the anime I watched last year. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a lot of free time to watch anime at the beginning of the year due to university kicking my ass, but after I finally graduated with my master’s degree, I could finally work through some of the backlog I had accumulated on Crunchyroll and Netflix.

Anyway, without further ado, this is a list of anime I watched in 2023 with some short descriptions and my own personal opinions. Let it be known, there is a lot of text in this one.

Also, since there ended up being a lot more shows that I watched than I thought there would be, this had to be cut in two -> Click here for part 2

Some of my older lists:

My favourite animes (Old. Tells of my tastes back in, like, 2018-2020 or something. Updated list coming once I get around to it)

Feel good anime Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3

Handa-kun

Handa Seishuu is a calligraphy prodigy and a high schooler. For years he has been living under the assumption that his student peers all hate him. This is, of course, a huge misunderstanding. In reality, Handa is very much admired in his school, to the point of being popular. Where did this misunderstanding stem from and how can it be resolved?

12 episodes - comedy, slice of life

I liked this one! Although I did have a little bit of distaste towards one of Handa’s so called friends. You’ll understand who and why if you decide to watch this.

Barakamon

Handa Seishuu, now a 25-year-old man, punches a famous, older calligrapher judging his latest work. As a consequence of his own actions, he is sent to live in small town in the countryside where a group of kids rutinely keeps breaking into his house. Beautiful friendships bloom between Handa and the people of this town.

12 episodes - comedy, seinen, slice of life

Took me an episode or two to get in to, but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Backflip!!

Shoutaro Futaba enters high school with intense love for sports, especially men’s rythmic gymnastics after he saw Shoushukan high school’s team perform in a competition. He enrolls into said high school and hopes to join the team despite not having any prior experience with gymnastics. Another boy, Ryouya Misato, get recruited alongside him and together with their senpais they start to work towards Inter-high tournament.

12 episodes and an OVA - sports

I started this in the beginning of the year and only got around to finishing it in November. Actually liked this one a lot! The final movie left me feeling so happy yet bittersweet. I recommend this one!

Skip and Loafer

Mitsumi Iwakura leaves her small countryside town and moves to Tokyo to live with her aunt in hopes that attending a prestigious high school would aid with her ultimate goals in life. As the new school year begins, Mitsumi leaves for school with high hopes, gets lost at the subway station, runs into classmate called Sousuke Shima and together the two barely make it to the entrance ceremony. What will her school life shape up to be?

12 episodes - romace, shojo

Nao-chan supremacy! The bestest aunt!

I really liked to animation animation style of this anime. For me, the show looks very soft and fresh in a spring and pastels kind of way. It’s hard to explain but I hope at least one person gets what I mean. I like the characters a lot and their interactions feel nice and grounded. The romance isn’t the main focus in this one, at least not in this season, which I liked since it’s always lovely to just see friendships put into the spotlight.

Buddy Daddies

What do you get if you combine two trained, professional assassins who live together and an accidental child acquisition? A riot of a family dynamic. Katsuki Kurusu and Rei Suwa fumble through their new shared life as parents to a four-year-old Miri Unasaka. What seemed like a temporary situation at first, stops looking temporary when genuine affection and care for the little girl and her well-being start to blossom in both men’s hearts.

13 episodes - action, comedy

This one was so good. I loved every minute of this and the characters’ dynamics worked so well together. Anyone in the shows comment section who complained about Miri being annoying had clearly never been around young children and it showed. Miri is a delightful little girl who loves her dads very much. There was also a fair bit of action in this which was a nice change of pace amidst all the parenthood things.

My New Boss Is Goofy

Momose Kentaro is a 26-year-old office worker working for a marketing firm, Minette. He is new to the job, having just recently quit his previous job due to power harrassement and abuse he received from his former boss. Can his new clumsy and little goofy manager Shirosaki Yuusei make him feel comfortable in his new job?

12 episodes - comedy, slice of life

I love everything about this show. The characters, the storylines in each episode, the art style. This just makes you feel happy and a little giddy. Definitely my favourite show of the year. This one earned the top spot on my rewatchable shows list.

13 episodes - comedy, mystery

I’m a sucker for anything ’Sherlock Holmes’ type of media so this show was right up my alley. Eagerly waiting for the confirmed second season.

Play It Cool, Guys

Group of goofy and clumsy guys from different stages of life happen to meet one another and develop heartwarming friendships. Little mishaps won’t ruin their day!

24 (short) episodes - slice of life

Easily one of my favourites of the year. Watching this felt like sipping a cup of hot green tea while wrapped up in a blanket. Instant rewatch.

Vanitas no Karte

A vampire named Noé Archiviste is looking for a book called ’the book of Vanitas’ in the 19th century Paris, when he unexpectedly meets a man calling himself Vanitas and carries the book he’s searching for. The Vanitas he meets isn’t the original maker of the book but a doctor who possesses the ability to save vampires by returning their true names to them.

24 episodes - action, fantasy, mystery

Me, mere minutes into the first episode: ”If anything were to happen to Noé, I would kill everyone in this room and the myself.” Anyway, love me some vampire action, especially with that late 1800s, early 1900s Paris vibe. Delicious.

Vampire Dies in No Time

One day vampire hunter Ronald is tasked to infiltrate a castle and save a woman’s son. Things don’t quite go as he expected. Inside the palace, he meets a vampire called Draluc, who is truly so pathetically weak that he turns to ash from smallest of things that ahppen to startle him, and Draluc’s companion, armadillo John. The kid he seeked was totally fine and playing with Draluc’s video games. Oh and Draluc’s castle gets destroyed. Yeah… Ronald has a new roommate now.

2 seasons - comedy, supernatural

This truly is armadillo John’s world and we’re just living in it.

Love me some more vampire action. Only this time it’s a lot less angsty and violent and a lot more ridiculous and goofy. I laughed so much while watching this.

Sweet Revenge

Sourin & Reigisa (Free!)

Collab with @ticklygiggles

A/N: This Halloween collab was so much fun to write back then. The Free! nostalgia is real!

Summary: Reupload from 31 Oct. 2018 - It’s one pairing against the other in this fic: On Halloween’s night, Rei and Nagisa plan to prank Rin and Sousuke by scaring them to death…. (Also on AO3)

Word Count: 2.7K

The night was dark and cold. Children were screaming and laughing, candies were scattered over the floor, pumpkins were lighting the way, and two guys were on their way… on a particular mission. Because it wasn’t just a night. It was Halloween’s night.

“Aaah so nice of Haru-chan to tell us about Sou-chan and Rin-chan’s horror night! Poor thing has no idea what bad news this means for them,” Nagisa said excitedly, snickering like an evil villain as he pulled his mask over his face.

“Well, I guess he did what he had to do to put that idea of pranking poor Makoto-senpai on Halloween’s night out of your evil head,” Rei replied.

“Heh, it’s not like I was really going to! But this is a great opportunity, I’ve always wanted to scare Rin-chan! And Sou-chan’s gonna be a big bonus.”

Nagisa was wearing a scary mask and carrying a backpack that was filled with gear to make this prank the best yet for in the Halloween prank hall of fame, if such a thing even existed.

“Hmm… I think it was here.”  They walked past a few apartments until they reached their destination where Haru had directed them to.

The curtains were closed, and Nagisa and Rei exchanged glances and shrugged. “It’s now or never!”

Nagisa took a gigantic fake chainsaw from his bag, as well as a bottle of fake blood which Rei used to splash over himself. It dripped from his face onto his shirt and he probably looked terrifying enough.

“Ready?” Nagisa asked, barely holding all the excitement inside that tiny body of his. When Rei nodded, Nagisa even jumped excitedly as he reached to knock on the door, well more like banging on it.

“Was that necessary, Nagisa-kun?” Rei whispered, raising an eyebrow and fixing his glasses.

“Just to be dramatic,” he giggled under his breath and banged on the door again.

“What is taking them so lo- AAH!” Rei flinched in surprise when the door suddenly opened and almost lost the opportunity to scream along with Nagisa to scare the living hell out of Rin or Sousuke or both, but, as he sees the unimpressed face and that sarcastic raised eyebrow on both Rin’s and Sousuke’s face, he’s not sure about this plan anymore.

“Are you guys serious right now?” Rei surrendered immediately, trying to hold on to the little bit of dignity still on him, but Nagisa kept on fighting and Rei watched how he lifted that weird fake chainsaw of his higher above Rin’s head, ready to attack him.

“Sousuke is even more scary when he’s angry,” Rin mocked and he grabbed Nagisa’s chainsaw with a single hand, snatching it from Nagisa’s hands and throwing it back into his masked face, making him let out a muffled squeak.

“Oi…” Sousuke mumbled, sending a glare to Rin. “So you guys decided to just interrupt us to trick or treat us or what?”

Nagisa took off his mask and cocked his head. “Eh… No. Just scare you?” he said, picking up his fake chainsaw to pull the string of it, and it made a couple more disturbing noises, but none seemed to affect the two males in front of them. Rin and Sousuke looked at each other again, smirked and looked back.

Rin flashed his trademark grin and mocked: “Ohh. Ah booh-booh. We are so scared,” he said, obviously sarcastic. Sousuke nodded, looking all stoic but with this tiny smirk on his face.

“Oh…” Nagisa said, looking down at his chainsaw, a bit flustered because of such a failure of a prank. He then smiled.

“Welllll, I guess we’ll be going again then! Enjoy your horror ni-”

He already turned around, but Rin’s big hand landed on his shoulder before he could make the full 180 degrees, stopping him.

“Ha, I think not,” Rin said, and Rei watched and yelled as Rin yanked his boyfriend into the dark hole that was the unfazed couple’s apartment.

Sousuke didn’t even need to do the same to Rei who immediately yelled “NAGISA-KUN!” as he jumped right in after him, but Sousuke did slam the door shut behind him, and from that moment it was as if they were kidnapped into the underworld.

The apartment was dark and decorated with anything Halloween’ish, from spiderwebs to skeletons and scary pumpkins. The coffee table was packed with snacks (also Halloween themed…), beers and a stack of empty beer cans next to it.

Horrifying screams of pain and slashing sounds were heard as a horror movie continued to play on the TV, and it was then that Rei realized: Wow. These guys are so into this. Now he understood why they weren’t affected at all by their cheap prank-attempt.

Nagisa whined and Rei found him lying rather ungracefully on the floor near the coffee table. He quickly helped him up to his feet. 

“So mean! This is kidnapping!”

“Mean, you say?” Rin arched one of his eyebrows and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

“You guys were the ones that came to prank us…” Rei flinched when Rin looked directly at him, his maroon eyes seeming to glow in the dark like a real demon, Rei also looked at Sousuke, who was now standing at Rin’s side, and his eyes weren’t less mischievous than Rin’s.

“…and since it was a total failure…” Rei gulped, seeing that smirk grow on Rin’s face.

“I think we should put a suited punishment on you now, don’t you think, Sousuke?”

Sousuke hummed in agreement and before Rei or Nagisa could react, Rin launched forward, going for Nagisa. Rei couldn’t help but feel relieved, but Nagisa shrieked and fell back to the floor with Rin trying to wrestle him down.

“N-Nagisa-kun!”

What were they planning to do? A suited punishment? Halloween… Horror style? Like… Torture?

He desperately started to look around, trying to find any torture instruments in the room or even rope or tape, but the room was too dark and the light from the TV was just enough for him to see his surroundings.

“Rei-chan! Help!” Rei was fast to dive into action, but a sudden squeeze on his waist made him jump and choke on a giggle.

He stopped his movements and looked at his side, finding a hand latching onto him, it was Sousuke and he was wearing the most predatory smirk he had ever seen. Rei gulped. 

“S-Sousuke-senpai?”

He stepped away a little, but felt yet another sharp squeeze and he jerked, the corners of his mouth trembled as he tried to keep a smile in check, but then Sousuke thought it would be a good idea to just keep squeezing him there over and over until it was almost impossible to hold it anymore.

Rei tried to escape but he just collapsed against the couch as he squirmed and bit his lower lip tighter than ever. Nagisa was able to look the scene over his wrestle-match with Rin. 

“Rin-chan! Don’t do this!” Rei was barely aware that Rin hadn’t started with Nagisa yet and he wondered if only he was going to be tortured- well, it was a better torture than others.

“Rei-chan! Don’t lau-” 

“Ahahaha!” It was too late, Sousuke had finally reached for Rei’s ribs and there was no way in hell to keep himself from laughing at that…

“I’m sohohohorry, Nagisa-kuhuhun!” …and as if on cue, Rin started to tickle Nagisa too, who lasted just one second before he broke into loud giggles.

Rei, on the other hand, already shrieked with laughter when Sousuke finally attacked with both hands. He tried to grab his attacker’s wrists to push them away, but Sousuke didn’t budge. It amazed Rei how strong Sousuke was, but the tickling he was inflicting on him felt unbearably gentle, making him want to jump out of his skin.

“N-Nohoho whyyhyyy!” Nagisa cried, flopping uncharmingly as he tried to flip himself on all fours, but Rin would easily wrestle him back down. A claw with wiggling fingers grabbed at his poor stomach, and Nagisa curled around Rin’s hand and giggled uncontrollably.

“Heh, because it’s like torture, isn’t it? And totally painless.”

How friendly. A painless torture as some punishment. Well, for your record, Nagisa’s eyes were almost dropping out of his head as his eyes widened when Rin’s relentless tickling moved towards his armpits. His stomach was hurting already from laughing like this as well. So much for ‘painless’.

“Hyaahahaa noooo!” he screeched.

Sousuke was still tickling Rei with ease, but when Rei managed to roll himself onto his front, he easily picked him up and threw him beside Nagisa to resume the torture over there. Both Nagisa and Rei were laughing their own and each other’s heads off, getting tickled to death by the stronger guys who absolutely looked like two evil devils towering over them.

They seemed to find all the good spots to make them cry. Nagisa thought it was obvious for Rin since they had had a few tickle fights through the years, but as he looked to his side and saw, through his blurry vision due to his tears, Rei laughing nearly in hysterics, head thrown back and body arching up as he desperately tried to escape, he thought that maybe Sousuke and Rin were actual demons that show their true powers during Hallow-

“Eek! Rin-chahahan! Not thehehere! Not there!” Nagisa howled with laughter as he felt Rin cupping his hand on one of his hips, Rin’s thumb finding the bone and digging into it.

“We’re sohohorry!” he cried.

“Are you now?” Rin teased and the sudden sound of Sousuke’s voice made him look up.

“I found a good spot,” Sousuke almost sing-sang as he clawed at Rei’s ribs with nimble fingers.

Rin shuddered. He had been under a tickle attack from Sousuke, so he felt almost bad for leaving him to torture Rei when he seemed to have a little less of stamina than Nagisa.

“We-We ahahahare!” Rei laughed out. “Sousu- sehehenpai!”

He gave up on saying Sousuke’s name completely, the laughter barely letting him talk.

“Please stohohop!”

“Learned your lesson now?” Rin asked, still glancing over at Rei while his own fingers wouldn’t stop poking and prodding at Nagisa’s twitchy body.

“Yehehehes! A-Ahhand i-it was Nahahagisa-kun’s ideaaaa!”

“Rei-chahahan traaaitaahaha!” Rin smirked.

Poor, poor Rei. Seemingly feeling sorry for Rei, being under such drastic Sousuke-assault, was becoming a serious emotion here. He smiled and looked at Nagisa who was whining and mewling beneath him. He knew Nagisa’s character from way back. Of course it was his idea.

“Hey Sousuke, come check this out,” he finally said.

Sousuke looked up and Rin demonstrated Nagisa’s super sensitive thighs by doing the exact same thing that made him shriek earlier.

“EYAHA!” Nagisa jerked and kicked, his flailing arms nearly hitting Rin in the face.

“Need help over there?” Sousuke asked. His hands on Rei’s poor wheezing body stilled, and Rin shrugged.

“Maybe?”

That’s when victim #1 was finally released from his torture as Sousuke got up and crouched down where Rin was.

“Hold these for me.” Rin handed Nagisa’s flailing arms over which Sousuke pinned gladly over his head and watched how Rin continued to dig into his thighs, seeking that master spot that would make the poor blond turn to jello.

“Rei-chahahahan!” Nagisa begged, shrieking when Rin brushed his fingers on that very sweet spot on the inside of his thighs.

“Help mehehehe!” he finally howled as Rin smirked and focused on said spot, squeezing it away with nimble fingers as Nagisa jolted with every touch and desperately tried to pull at his trapped hands.

Rei was barely getting his breath back when Nagisa was drowning in his own laughter. Rei put himself back together and shakily started to crawl to save his tiny and helpless boyfriend but stopped when Rin sent him a glare.

“Help Nagisa and you’ll be next, Rei,” he warned, and Rei gulped, not exactly wanting to be in Nagisa’s position.

But Nagisa’s face was starting to get a bit too red and his laughter was going all breathless and hoarse, and yet he was wearing the happiest smile ever. Rei had to sigh, of course Nagisa was enjoying himself. Regardless, he still thought that his face was red enough and that those were some unhealthily squeaky breaths, so he needed a break.

Almost without thinking about the consequences, he reached for this spot Nagisa once told him was a good spot on Rin (actually, he randomly said it one time when he was tickling Rei to pieces, claiming that they both shared that spot), right above the left hipbone. Rin barked out a laugh feeling the squeeze on his side and he immediately launched for Rei.

“You’re asking for this, aren’t you?”

“No, Rin-senpai!” he squeaked as Rin took a seat on Rei’s stomach.

“I think we both learned our lesson!” he tried. To no avail. Both demons’ attention were now officially on him, and ohhh lord…

“Hmm, I see.” Rin smirked.

“But I think it’s only fair if we get you as bad as Nagisa, don’t you think, Sousuke?” Sousuke smirked back and he fucking wiggled his fingers at Rei. Oh how Rei regretted this decision.

But then he glanced at Nagisa who was panting and wheezing breathlessly, with this somewhat cute relieved and thankful smile on his face, looking like the sweetest angel he absolutely wasn’t (heck, he was the guy who brought them into this shit in the first place).

But seeing him like that gave him courage, so Rei bravely brought his hand up towards his head and saluted his tired boyfriend. “Nagisa-kun! Don’t worry about me! I will be okay!” Aaand okay as in- laughing so much until his stomach hurt, but all for a good cause.

Nagisa took as much time recovering as it took Rin and Sousuke to tickle Rei to death, and by the time everyone stood on their feet again (Rei wobbling weakly and leaning against Nagisa), the horror movie that had been playing for Rin and Sousuke’s entertainment had already reached its credit roll.

“Well guys, now that that’s over with, why don’t you two join us for our next movie? It’s all about torture. The unpleasant one,” Rin said, a dirty smirk on his face. Rei wanted to go in discussion about how that could mean Rin would call their torture just now ‘pleasant’, but Nagisa already nodded excitedly. “Oh yes! Let’s watch it!”

Well somehow Nagisa was an angel after all, forgiving these two devils for tickling them to death like that, but then again… Rei smiled. They did deserve it, a little. Well at least, Nagisa did. Rei… not so much. “We’re in,” he said with a smile.

And the remainder of the night was spent on the couch, both couples enjoying a drink and a snack and some unnecessarily bloody movie that totally fit Halloween’s theme for real. Watching this, Rei almost felt bad calling their predicament earlier ‘torture’. He’d be able to live with ‘sweet revenge’.

Epilogue (new)

Sousuke could barely hear Rin's voice due to the loud crunching noises as he enjoyed some tasty crisps.

"What did you say?" he asked with his mouth full. Rin rolled his eyes and repeated:

"Look at them. Can't believe they are like this." Sousuke looked to the side. Rei and Nagisa had both fallen asleep, and the movie hadn't even reached its best part yet.

"Probably tired from all that," Sousuke said.

Rin snickered. "All what?"

Sousuke glared at him. "You know what."

Rin shrugged. "No. I actually don't." He nudged Sousuke with his foot.

"Say it."

Sousuke sighed. "You know I don't like to say that word. Now watch the movie," he commanded, but Rin reached out and tickled his side.

"HNGh!" Sousuke jolted and threw his snack bowl all over Nagisa by accident. Nagisa kept sleeping.

"You tickled those two to death but can't even say the word. Come on, say it," Rin said, but Sousuke quickly grabbed him and pushed him backwards.

"I know something better," he said, and although he could Rei whine now that he Rin was falling on top of him, Sousuke still began to tickle Rin mercilessly.

"HEheheey! You're so- ahahaah!" On the screen, slasher movie sounds could be heard. On the couch, Rin's loud shrieky laughter could be heard, and under from under Rin, Nagisa and Rei's wails could be heard as well. Sousuke smirked. It truly was one remarkable night of Halloween!

[IDOLiSH7] [Part 6] Chapter 5: Heart that believes, bonds that bind

6.5.1. - Dream

Young Musubi: Takanashi-senpai, Yaotome-senpai, what do you think is the greatest live?

Young Otoharu: Huh? The greatest live?

Young Sousuke: What is this about, all of a sudden?

Young Musubi: I have been thinking about it ever since I joined Tsukumo and saw all these lives from different artists.

Young Musubi: About what the greatest live would look like.

Young Sousuke: If we’re speaking in terms of attendants. The live with the biggest audience was a New Year’s Concert in the 1990s. Apparently, more than 3.5 million people attended.

Young Musubi: That’s amazing. What kind of huge venue did they use?

Young Sousuke: There’s no concert hall that three million people can fit into. So they did it at a beach.

Young Otoharu: At the beach? That’s nice. Do you think the “Summer Island Festival” that’s about to start will have this many attendees one day, too?

Young Sousuke: That would be a safety hazard, so there’s no way.

Young Otoharu: Do you think we can call Douglas Rootbank for it?

Young Sousuke: Douglas, huh…

Young Musubi: Takanashi-senpai, what would be the greatest live to you?

Young Otoharu: Maybe every live is the greatest live in its own way.

Young Otoharu: Because both the people on stage and the fans are there with feelings they hold dear to their hearts.

Young Sousuke: Your vision of things is always so vague.

Young Otoharu: I think being vague is fine. After all, the things we create by making lives have no clear form, either.

Young Otoharu: Having your heart moved, being overwhelmed with passion, or feeling united… if you had to, you could put them into words, but the meaning of all this is like a rainbow you can never reach.

Young Musubi: ….Rainbow…

Young Otoharu: As time goes on, the sensation fades. But we all definitely saw it together.

Young Otoharu: Both the stars and the fans saw the same rainbow. …No, that’s wrong.

Young Otoharu: They built a rainbow bridge together.

Young Musubi: Building a rainbow bridge together… It's like a fairy tale.

Young Sousuke: Right. That’s because he is a fairy tale type of guy. The idea of creating something together with the fans is weird.

Young Sousuke: Our job is to control the audience with a flawless performance.

Young Otoharu: Yaotome-kun, you’re so serious.

Young Sousuke: You’re just too carefree. I’ll work my way up quickly and become independent. And then I’ll be the lord of my own castle.

Young Otoharu: Having dreams is nice. What about you? Do you have any dreams?

Young Musubi: That’s a good question….

Young Musubi: I want to try creating the greatest live.

Young Musubi: The people standing on stage, the fans who came there, all the staff that’s involved…

Young Musubi: When they feel the same excitement and happiness, and you can create the shining performance you promised them…

Young Musubi: That’s the kind of live I want to make.

Young Otoharu: You can definitely do it. Right, Yaotome-kun?

Young Sousuke: Hm. You’re both prone to dreaming.

Young Sousuke: But well… It's good to have conviction.

Young Musubi: Yes! Takanashi-senpai, Yaotome-senpai, thank you very much.

Young Musubi: One day, I’ll make my dream come true… Together with the people on stage and the fans, I’ll create a happy rainbow.

Young Musubi: Even if it disappears right away…

Young Musubi: The memories of that rainbow I created together with all these people will live on forever inside my heart.

Young Musubi: Even after I am gone…

–

(ping)

Yotsuba Tamaki: Hm… A message from Sou-chan…

Yotsuba Tamaki: “I’m sorry about yesterday. MEZZO’’ had bonds.”

Yotsuba Tamaki: ……

Yotsuba Tamaki: “Had” bonds…?

Kujou Tenn: Here, some orange juice.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ah. Thanks.

Kujou Tenn: Sorry for asking you to come over. Even though it’s your day off.

Yotsuba Tamaki: It’s fine. Unlike Sou-chan, I’m not composing or anything, so I have nothing to do anyway.

Kujou Tenn: ….I need to consult you about Aya.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I figured. This is the only thing you’d wanna talk to me about anyway, Tenten.

Kujou Tenn: What happened?

Yotsuba Tamaki: What?

Kujou Tenn: Haven’t you been acting weirdly spineless for a while now?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ha? Spineless?

Kujou Tenn: Saying stuff like “I’m not composing, so I have nothing to do anyway.” or “This is the only thing you’d wanna talk to me about anyway.”.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I dunno what you mean. It’s not like it’s wrong.

Kujou Tenn: Since it’s your day off, it’s fine to rest how you’d like to. I just don’t call you unless it’s a special occasion because we’re both busy.

Kujou Tenn: But if there is time for that, I’d like to talk to you more, Yotsuba Tamaki. Because you’re a kind and funny person.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ………

Yotsuba Tamaki: Tenten~…

Kujou Tenn: What, now you’re trying to lean on me with that sweet voice?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Say it again~

Kujou Tenn: You’re needy.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Say it.

Kujou Tenn: You’re a genius. You’re good-looking and cute. You’re a special, popular person who’s loved all over the world.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ahaha! That was too much.

Kujou Tenn: I like you when you’re honest. Even though you went out of our way to meet me, I’m sorry if I ended up making you feel bad.

Kujou Tenn: Even though I usually don’t spend time with you, I called you because it was convenient for me. Are you angry about that?

Kujou Tenn: If that’s the case, get angry at me. Stop saying things to put yourself down.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Okay….

Kujou Tenn: Are you mad?

Yotsuba Tamaki: ….No…. I was happy you were relying on me regarding Aya…

Yotsuba Tamaki: Because at least you’re relying on me, Tenten…

Kujou Tenn: What are you saying? Riku and Ousaka Sougo think you're dependable, too.

Yotsuba Tamaki: No way. Riku is the center and he’s super popular anyway. Besides, he has you, Tenten.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Even when Sou-chan has issues, he just solves them while composing by himself, so it’s not like he really needs me, either…

Kujou Tenn: Ousaka Sougo wouldn’t say something like that though, would he?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Even without being told, I already know. I can tell. I started being able to tell.

Kujou Tenn: ……

Yotsuba Tamaki: Everyone has a lot to do, yet I’m the only one who has nothing…

Yotsuba Tamaki: If things go on like this, they’ll end up leaving me behind. I have to find something somehow…

Yotsuba Tamaki: Thinking about it might’ve made me feel down. Sorry for saying things like this. …I’m fine now.

Yotsuba Tamaki: You know, Tenten, can I ask you for a favor before we talk about Aya?

Kujou Tenn: A favor?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Please give me the contact info of Ash Baker, the dance instructor you had for “Zero”.

6.5.2. - Kind umbrella

Yotsuba Tamaki: I haven’t talked to the others yet, but I want to go to that teacher and take lessons from him.

Kujou Tenn: He usually works overseas, though.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I know. I was thinking of going on hiatus. Going on hiatus and studying abroad.

Yotsuba Tamaki: So I’ll be able to live on my own, freely.

Kujou Tenn: …….

Kujou Tenn: And you haven’t talked about this to the others yet?

Yotsuba Tamaki: I haven’t. I’ve only told you, Tenten.

Kujou Tenn: You can’t do that, Yotsuba Tamaki. Confiding in me about things you haven’t even told your group members.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ……

Kujou Tenn: …Aah… I think I finally get why I was told to stop taking on everything on my own. 

Kujou Tenn: Wouldn’t they be sad to only hear about it afterwards, even though you’re in the same group?

Yotsuba Tamaki: …But if I talked to them about it, there’d be a huge fuss. Of course I’m going to talk to them later.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Tenten, give me his contact information. If you don’t, I’ll just ask Gakkun or Ryuu-aniki for it.

Kujou Tenn: Why do you want to study abroad? Not that I think living freely on your own is a bad thing….

Kujou Tenn: …Why would you, who loved IDOLiSH7, say something like that?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Didn’t I say it already? I just want to find something I want to do. Give me his contact information.

Yotsuba Tamaki: What about Aya? Didn’t you want to consult me about something?

Kujou Tenn: …The way you are right now, I won’t. I don’t think I should.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Why!?

Kujou Tenn: I feel like the timing is bad. You’re having worries right now, right?

Yotsuba Tamaki: I don’t have worries. I already decided. Hey… Talk to me, Tenten. Weren’t you relying on me?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Don’t just say you’ll stop now. I can do it! There’s a lot of things I can do properly…

Kujou Tenn: ….

Kujou Tenn: I’ll definitely stop.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Why!?

Kujou Tenn: You’re sulking. 

Yotsuba Tamaki: I’m telling you I’m not sulking! Just tell me!

Kujou Tenn: Don’t raise your voice. I’ll properly listen to you regardless, so you don’t have to do that.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ……

Kujou Tenn: Stop forcing yourself to pretend like you’re an adult already.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I’m not. …I just figured things out.

Kujou Tenn: You didn’t. Nobody said they don’t need you. Aya needs you. IDOLiSH7, too.

Kujou Tenn: Did you feel lonely thinking that Aya and Ousaka Sougo weren’t relying on you?

Yotsuba Tamaki: …I mean… I mean, it’s true though…

Yotsuba Tamaki: They’re fine without me. I’m not sulking, either. Really, it’s fine like this. 

Yotsuba Tamaki: I mean… if I didn’t like it, that’d mean I’d want them to be unhappy without me, right?

Kujou Tenn: ……

Yotsuba Tamaki: It’d be the same as wanting them to be hopeless without me. …That’d be awful of me, right…

Yotsuba Tamaki: Even though I thought it would be fine as long as Aya is happy…

Yotsuba Tamaki: Even though I thought it would be nice if Sou-chan was more confident… Ain’t that just a lie?

Kujou Tenn: Mhm…

Yotsuba Tamaki: But somehow right now… I don’t like it. They look so happy without me.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Tenten, how was it for you? When Rikkun was happy without you, didn’t you feel lonely?

Kujou Tenn: ……….

Yotsuba Tamaki: …In the past I would’ve never thought about this sort of thing. I didn’t care about what anyone else did.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Before I became part of IDOLiSH7, I was free.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I was fine on my own. That was just how I was. I never even thought about feeling lonely.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I wanna go back to those times… I was invincible back then.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Kch …I wanna go back to being invincible…

Kujou Tenn: …..

Kujou Tenn: You’re invincible even now, Yotsuba Tamaki.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Tenten….

Kujou Tenn: What if you tried it? Adopting a don’t-care attitude. 

Yotsuba Tamaki: What…?

Kujou Tenn: It’s fine to say, “Sou-chan, pay attention to me”.

Yotsuba Tenn: I can’t tell him that! I’m not a kid!!!

Kujou Tenn: You wanna go back to being in invincible mode, right?

Yotsuba Tamaki: If I said that, I’d just bother him!! Sou-chan is busy right now!

Kujou Tenn: How would you feel if your friends hesitated to tell you about their worries solely because you are busy?

Kujou Tenn: Would you feel thankful towards them for noticing that you’re busy?

Yotsuba Tamaki: ….

Kujou Tenn: You wouldn’t. You’d feel sorry because you didn’t notice their troubles. The same goes for Ousaka Sougo.

Kujou Tenn: You’ll have to forgive him for not noticing. Right now is the happiest time of his life. After all, isn’t being able to create songs great?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Yeah…

Kujou Tenn: Wouldn’t you feel lonely if one of your group members suddenly decided on their own to go on hiatus or study abroad?

Yotsuba Tamaki: …I would…

Kujou Tenn: I would, too. If Gaku or Ryuu did something like that, I would think that I had wanted to talk to them beforehand.

Kujou Tenn: If it was my fault that either of them felt lonely, I’d regret it even more.

Kujou Tenn: I’d be sorry for not noticing.

Yotsuba Tamaki: …I didn’t think about that.

Kujou Tenn: Eh?

Yotsuba Tamaki: “Don’t you ignore me, thanks to whom do you think you’re here?” I was told that sort of thing by my old man. 

Yotsuba Tamaki: “Whatever, he’s an idiot,” is what I thought… I don’t know anymore… I don’t wanna become like my old man...

Kujou Tenn: You won’t.

Yotsuba Tamaki: But…

Kujou Tenn: You won’t. Remember when we first met and you carried me on your back and ran to the venue.

Kujou Tenn: Thank you for that kindness. Thank you for helping me. You’re doing fine.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ..…Tenten…

Kujou Tenn: Where is Ousaka Sougo right now?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Probably… composing in the studio. 

Kujou Tenn: You should go and spend time with him. You’ll be okay. Because you’re invincible. I will give you an invincible shield.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Because I carried you, Tenten? Like a reward item?

Kujou Tenn: That’s right. Go talk to Ousaka Sougo. After that, we can talk about Aya.

Yotsuba Tamaki: …Okay.

Kujou Tenn: Ah…

Yotsuba Tamaki: What?

Kujou Tenn: I’ll lend you my umbrella. It’s raining.

6.5.3. - Beginning rain shower

Rokuya Nagi: Lalala~ I’ll take an attempt at making latte art of my oshi. I’ll start with practice…

Rokuya Nagi: OH! I’m good at this! Now I have to keep going like this…

Rokuya Nagi: Ya~y! I made a cute heart!

Rokuya Nagi: Let’s take a photo! Alright, café latte and me, smile~!

(click)

Rokuya Nagi: OH…. Beautiful. Time to upload it to Rabbitter.

(door opens)

Ousaka Sougo: I’m back.

Rokuya Nagi: Hi, Sougo! Please look at this! It’s latte art!

Ousaka Sougo: Waah, it’s good! That’s a pretty zebra.

Rokuya Nagi: It’s a heart.

Ousaka Sougo: Aah, you’re right. Nagi-kun, I know it’s sudden, but how about tonight?

Rokuya Nagi: It really is sudden, but what are you talking about?

Ousaka Sougo: I thought we could… together…

Rokuya Nagi: WHAT…?

Ousaka Sougo: ……

Ousaka Sougo: Nevermind. It’s fine after all…

Rokuya Nagi: OH… I am very very very curious….

Ousaka Sougo: There’s something I want to do with you…

Rokuya Nagi: Wait, Sougo. Why are you not telling me the key word of this request? Is it something bad?

Ousaka Sougo: It’s not anything illegal, but it is something I feel guilty about doing… kind of…

Rokuya Nagi: Hm… Like having a bucket of ice cream and only eating one bite before throwing it away…?

Ousaka Sougo: Only kings and royalty would do that. Ah… you were royalty.

Rokuya Nagi: Northmeir’s royal family treasures its ice cream. What about your family, Sougo?

Ousaka Sougo: Ice cream… When we had it at the end of a full-course meal, even my father would eat it.

Rokuya Nagi: Right. There’s no one who dislikes ice cream.

Ousaka Sougo: …Nagi-kun.

Rokuya Nagi: Yes.

Ousaka Sougo: …Do you have time tonight after all? I… I have to ask you for a favor…

Rokuya Nagi: Hm…

Rokuya Nagi: Okay. I will help you. But if possible, I would like to hear what this is about first.

Rokuya Nagi: I believe in you, Sougo, and I want to be helpful to you. What would you like to do together?

Ousaka Sougo: Nagi-kun…

Ousaka Sougo: …Thank you. I’m sorry I couldn’t say it from the beginning… Uhm…

Ousaka Sougo: On the day we said goodbye to Sakura-san, we played the piano together, right?

Ousaka Sougo: I want to play with you like we did that day. I’m renting a studio tonight, so if it’s not too much trouble for you…

Rokuya Nagi: Wow! Playing with you again sounds fun, Sougo! From the bottom of my heart, I’d be happy to!

Rokuya Nagi: But, why?

Ousaka Sougo: …..I was hoping to get a hint from you while doing that…

Rokuya Nagi: A hint for songwriting? And that’s something bad?

Ousaka Sougo: It’s not a bad idea… right? I thought that if I can’t solve it with my own strength, I should try to ask someone for help…

Rokuya Nagi: Hm… I'll take care of that inspiration of yours, Sougo.

Rokuya Nagi: There has to be a reason why you thought this is a bad thing to do. What kind of song are you making?

Ousaka Sougo: …It’s a MEZZO’’ song about bonds.

Rokuya Nagi: OH! It’s the theme song for the special drama you’re starring in, isn’t it?

Ousaka Sougo: That’s right. The deadline is approaching, but it’s not going well…

Ousaka Sougo: Even though I think that me and Tamaki-kun should have a bond, a lot of things happened and I became awkward with him, too…

Rokuya Nagi: OH…. MEZZO’’’s bond…

Ousaka Sougo: When I played the piano with you and Natsume-san, the melodies naturally merged together, even though we didn’t have a meeting beforehand.

Ousaka Sougo: That day, I felt something like a bond. I want to experience that once more… which is why I need your help.

Rokuya Nagi: OK, Sougo. I didn’t lie about wanting to play with you.

Rokuya Nagi: But don’t you think that because it is a song about MEZZO’’s bond, the one you should be asking for help is Tamaki instead of me?

Ousaka Sougo: But… I’ll bother Tamaki-kun if I ask him about songwriting.

Ousaka Sougo: I decided to selfishly start songwriting all on my own, so I definitely can't trouble Tamaki-kun with it…

Rokuya Nagi: Tamaki can’t play piano, but he has a beautiful singing voice. He has a bond with you, too.

Ousaka Sougo: …You think me and him have a bond…?

Rokuya Nagi: As long as you believe in it. The second you stop, the bond disappears. Or rather, it becomes invisible.

Rokuya Nagi: Once you believe in it again, you start being able to see it again. Me and my brother were like that, too.

Ousaka Sougo: …You realized you had a bond with him?

Rokuya Nagi: Yes. I felt a bond. It was like finding a treasure chest in the sand.

Ousaka Sougo: …..I wonder if I had that, too….

Ousaka Sougo: I never felt a bond with my family…

Ousaka Sougo: …I feel like I’ve been seeing the things I consider bonds right now in a wrong light, too…

Ousaka Sougo: I don’t know where I’m supposed to draw the line… Whether it’s alright to rely on people to this point, whether it’s rude to not rely on people, whether it’s rude to rely on them too much…

Rokuya Nagi: The answer is different for everyone. That’s why creating bonds with people is both hard and fun.

Rokuya Nagi: I am happy that you were able to rely on me just now.

Ousaka Sougo: …Thank you. Nagi-kun…

Ousaka Sougo: That’s right, it’s just as you said. I will try talking to Tamaki-kun. If it’s fine with you, the studio today…

(ping)

Ousaka Sougo: Aah… It’s a rabicha from Tamaki-kun.

Rokuya Nagi: OH! Speak of the devil!

Ousaka Sougo: …He wrote, ”Can I watch today when you’re at the recording studio?”…

Rokuya Nagi: Ahaha! See?

Rokuya Nagi: There were bonds after all! Nice timing!

Ousaka Sougo: …Yes…!

Midou Torao: ….

Utsugi Shirou: What a heavy shower. It would be nice if it stopped soon.

Midou Torao: Right…

Utsugi Shirou: There’s always so many sudden rain showers in this season, it’s bothersome. Even the shooting had to be stopped.

Midou Torao: Well, yeah.

Utsugi Shirou: Do you like the summer?

Midou Torao: A normal amount… Why are you asking?

Utsugi Shirou: What do you mean “why”?

Midou Torao: Well, you were trying so hard to make small talk with me.

Utsugi Shirou: Because I like making small talk with you, Midou-san. By the way, are you scared of heights?

Midou Torao: Not really….

Utsugi Shirou: Heh…

Midou Torao: What’s this about?

Utsugi Shirou: Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.

Midou Torao: ……

Utsugi Shirou: Are you actually scared?

Midou Torao: No, I’m not scared. I am fine.

Utsugi Shirou: Heh…

--

Isumi Haruka: …It’s hard to hear because of the rain, but doesn’t Utsugi-san suck at casual conversation!?

Natsume Minami: He usually seems so composed and resourceful, yet why…?

Inumaru Touma: From here on out, it’ll be like that… Since telling him indirectly didn’t work, we’ll have to do it as directly as possible…

Inumaru Touma: Which is to say, instead of just eavesdropping, we should directly go ask Tora ourselves, right?

Isumi Haruka: Wait a little longer! Torao has a load of pride, so he’d also start sulking super easily!

Natsume Minami: If we ask him about it, he’ll be weirdly stubborn about it. Remember how it was with me.

Inumaru Touma: How it was with you?

Natsume Minami: When you three invited me to go to Northmeir, I said I definitely wouldn’t go, right?

Inumaru Touma: You did…

Natsume Minami: If my pride hadn’t gotten in the way, I might have been able to be honest much sooner.

Isumi Haruka: Torao is the oldest, after all. Maybe it’s hard for him to show his weak side in front of us.

Inumaru Touma: Who cares if he’s the oldest. I’m the leader, so I’ll ask him!

Natsume Minami: Wait, please wait…!

Isumi Haruka: Let’s try watching for a bit longer.

--

Utsugi Shirou: Is there something you would like to do? Or something you wouldn’t like to do?

Midou Torao: ……

Utsugi Shirou: It might be a bad question to ask right as filming is wrapping up, but… Are you actually bad at this sort of thing?

Midou Torao: Not really… There’s nothing I’m not good at, and I have no weak points, either.

Utsugi Shirou: Aah, as expected of you.

Midou Torao: Haha, obviously…. “Something I want to do”…

Midou Torao: …. I don’t really have something I want to do.

Utsugi Shirou: Is that so?

Midou Torao: Yeah.

Utsugi Shirou: I understand. If you can think of anything, please do tell me.

Midou Torao: And what would you do if I did? Go along with my selfishness?

Utsugi Shirou: Well, yes. I will do my best to go along with it. I would try to negotiate with people about it…

Midou Torao: Hmpf. That’s typical of Tsukumo. But I don’t have any troubles right now, so don’t bother.

Utsugi Shirou: Uhm… Please don’t misunderstand. That doesn’t mean we would agree to something unreasonable, just because a talent of ours is being selfish.

Utsugi Shirou: But if it’s something related to your work motivation, Midou-san, then I would want to respect that.

Midou Torao: …..? So what? Didn’t you just change your wording?

Utsugi Shirou: That’s wrong. If you’re being pointlessly selfish, I won’t go along with it.

Midou Torao: …..

Utsugi Shirou: If there is something that makes you see your own potential and want to take on a challenge, I will do my best to support you.

Utsugi Shirou: Because I want you to love both yourself and this job more.

Utsugi Shirou: How do I put it… because that would also increase your appeal and value.

Utsugi Shirou: That way, there’ll be invisible benefits to this shoot for you, too. Like you gaining momentum, or new strength.

Utsugi Shirou: That being said, speaking of business… It’s not like we’ll selfishly ask anything from you, either.

Midou Torao: …Hm… There’s no guarantee that my value would increase, though.

Utsugi Shirou: If we were to guarantee anything, we wouldn’t be able to support newcomers.

Utsugi Shirou: Precisely because we know that there are no guarantees, as long as time permits it, the entertainment world will continue to give people chances.

Utsugi Shirou: We do this work because we want the productions you’re all involved in to turn out great.

Midou Torao: …..But if it was all for nothing, it’d be disappointing.

Utsugi Shirou: Well, yeah.

Midou Torao: ……..

Midou Torao: …. Then it’s fine like this. I won’t do anything to hinder our progress when nobody even wants me to.

Midou Torao: I don’t really have anything I want to do.

Utsugi Shirou: Okay. I understand. I’m sorry for asking you this many times.

Midou Torao: It’s fine, thanks.

Utsugi Shirou: By the way, I do have one last question.

Midou Torao: Yeah.

Utsugi Shirou: “When nobody even wants me to”… Does that “nobody” include you, too, Midou-san?

Midou Torao: ……

Utsugi Shirou: If it doesn’t include you… And there is something you do want to do, I will make my move.

Utsugi Shirou: Please tell me.

Midou Torao: ….I don’t know…

Utsugi Shirou: ……..

Midou Torao: ….I don’t know if it’s okay to want something to the point of causing people trouble…

Utsugi Shirou: …….

Utsugi Shirou: It’s okay. I’ll take responsibility. It’s okay if you fail, too. Don’t worry, please just tell me about it.

Utsugi Shirou: Is there something you would like to do? I am very sorry, but I don’t know what it is if you don’t tell me.

Utsugi Shirou: Please tell me what you want to do. Please let me help you.

Midou Torao: …..I can’t…

Utsugi Shirou: ……

Midou Torao: I can’t say it…. I’m scared of saying it…

Utsugi Shirou: …Midou-san…

Midou Torao: ….Shut up! I told you it’s fine!

Midou Torao: …I have nothing more to say to you. Go somewhere else.

Utsugi Shirou: ………I will do that.

6.5.4. - Caged

Yotsuba Tamaki: What is this thing for?

Ousaka Sougo: Ah… This piece of equipment is old. We won’t be using it today.

Yotsuba Tamaki: And that one?

Ousaka Sougo: That one, too.

Yotsuba Tamaki: You’re barely using any of these then, huh.

Ousaka Sougo: That’s true… I think it would be possible with just a modern smartphone at this point.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Huh.

Ousaka Sougo: Sorry… Even though you went out of your way to accompany me to the studio.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Not really… It’s fine.

Ousaka Sougo: This umbrella, did you buy it?

Yotsuba Tamaki: I borrowed it from Tenten.

Ousaka Sougo: Ah, I see. …Why did you meet up with Kujou-san?

Yotsuba Tamaki: ……

Ousaka Sougo: ……Did I ask too much? I want to respect your privacy….

Yotsuba Tamaki: No. ….Well, it’s kind of like… I really don’t get it, either.

Ousaka Sougo: …… Is that so….

Yotsuba Tamaki: Is that bad?

Ousaka Sougo: No… Ah… Before I came here, there was a rainbow. Did you see it too, Tamaki-kun?

Yotsuba Tamaki: I didn’t see it.

Ousaka Sougo: I see…

Ousaka Sougo: ….Then, would you listen to the part I’ve composed so far? There’s multiple variants, though…

Yotsuba Tamaki: Sou-chan, wait. Can I tell you something before that?

Ousaka Sougo: You want to tell me something…? Of course that’s fine! You can tell me anything.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I…

Yotsuba Tamaki: I’m thinking about quitting IDOLiSH7 and MEZZO’’ for a while.

Ousaka Sougo: ….

Ousaka Sougo: ….Eh….?

Yotsuba Tamaki: It’s not that I hate being an idol. I love singing, I love dancing, and I love all the fans. I love you guys, too.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I wanna continue like this forever, but I don’t know what kind of idol I wanna be anymore…

Yotsuba Tamaki: I want to do it more seriously. Look at Iorin and yourself. I wanna be an idol who can stand on their own…

Ousaka Sougo: …But you’re doing good enough right now..…

Yotsuba Tamaki: I want it, too. Something like a dream.

Yotsuba Tamaki: You guys made my dreams of finding Aya and getting friends that are like family come true, so…

Yotsuba Tamaki: I want a dream that’ll prevent me from feeling lonely. No matter who Aya is with, no matter how busy you are with songwriting.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I want to chase after that thing I want. And for that I wanna leave this place to study abroad.

Ousaka Sougo: …..

Ousaka Sougo: Tamaki-kun, what is it that you wanna do?

Yotsuba Tamaki: I dunno… I think maybe it’s dancing though…

Ousaka Sougo: …..I see…. You’re good at dancing, after all.

Ousaka Sougo: ….Right… I’m sure you’ll be a great idol once you’ve mastered dancing.

YotsubaTamaki: You think so?

Ousaka Sougo: Yes…

Yotsuba Tamaki: I dunno, really… Maybe I’m just saying this to bother you and Aya, too…

Ousaka Sougo: …Bother…?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Like I just want you guys to care about me. …Does it seem like that?

Ousaka Sougo: …….I’m sorry…. I don’t know….

Yotsuba Tamaki: ….I see…

Ousaka Sougo: ……

Yotsuba Tamaki: Well…. I hate worrying like this, so I really want to find it.

Yotsuba Tamaki: That thing I want to do. Something to get lost in. Because I don’t wanna think about the rest of this long life I’ve ahead of me.

Ousaka Sougo: …That’s right, isn’t… I’ll cheer you on.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Really?

Ousaka Sougo: Sorry for not being able to say it right away… I was just shaken…

Yotsuba Tamaki: It’s fine, it’s fine. If you had cheered me on right away, it would’ve shocked me, too, you know.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Thinking about it, I wonder if I’m just sulking because I’m lonely after all…

Yotsuba Tamaki: Thank you, Sou-chan.

Ousaka Sougo: …..No…

Ousaka Sougo: Thank you for telling me about it…

--

Midou Torao: ……….Ha….

Inumaru Touma: Tora!

Natsume Minami: Midou-san….

Midou Torao: You guys…

Inumaru Touma: What happened? Yelling at Utsugi-san like that…. You were making a real sad face, too.

Midou Torao: Were you guys watching…!?

Natsume Minami: ���We were. We were worried about you.

Midou Torao: Ahaha! Aren’t you one to talk? I mean, you guys are…

Natsume Minami: Calm down. You should know that we aren’t here to laugh at you.

Natsume Minami: Take my hand. There you go…

Midou Torao: ……Sorry…. I kind of suddenly started panicking…

Inumaru Touma: Panicking… Was there something you were scared of after all? Like something you don’t want to see?

Midou Torao: ….That’s not it…

Midou Torao: He… He asked me if there was something I wanted to do.

Inumaru Touma: That means….

Midou Torao: I couldn’t tell him anything.

Inumaru Touma: Because there was nothing? Or because there was something and you couldn’t tell him?

Midou Torao: …

Inumaru Touma: If there’s something, tell us. You can talk without holding back if it’s us, right?

Midou Torao: ….That…..

Inumaru Touma: You can’t say it even now? Not even in front of us?

Natsume Minami: Inumaru-san…

Inumaru Touma: If there’s something you wanna do, Tora, I’ll support you no matter what it is. Even so, you still can’t tell me?

Midou Torao: …..

Inumaru Touma: I mean it. No matter what it is, I won’t say I’m against it without hearing you out first. I swear on my life.

Inumaru Touma: Even so…?

Midou Torao: …But…

Midou Torao: But you’ll laugh at me…

Inumaru Touma: Huh?!? You idiot! We’d never laugh at you!

Natsume Minami: Inumaru-san, calm down…

Inumaru Touma: But…! When did I ever laugh at you?! We’re group members!

Midou Torao: …I get it. In my head, I get it, but…

Midou Torao: My voice gets stuck in my throat… I'm scared of saying it out loud…

Natsume Minami: Midou-san…

Midou Torao: “Even if you say what you want to do… even if you tell them seriously… they'll laugh and say it’s impossible…”

Midou Torao: “It’s pointless, so don’t even try”… “I’m saying this for your own good…” I can’t get that voice out of my head…

Midou Torao: ….Even though Utsugi-san said he’d give me a chance…

Inumaru Touma: …..Tora….

Midou Torao: …Why…

Inumaru Touma: …….

Inumaru Touma: Tora, tell us. Tell us what you want to do. I definitely won’t laugh. If I do, you can kill me.

Natsume Minami: I promise, too. Of course, if you are having a hard time, I won’t force it on you, Midou-san.

Natsume Minami: But could you trust us and tell us about it…?

Midou Torao: ….a….

Inumaru Touma: ….

Natsume Minami: ….

Midou Torao: …..A….

Inumaru Touma: ….

Natsume Minami: ….

Midou Torao: Damn… This has to be a joke… Why am I this scared…? What am I so scared of…?

Midou Torao: It’s just saying what I want… Why is… Why is it making me feel this miserable…?

Midou Torao: …Aah…. This is so pathetic and embarrassing…. I don’t want to say it after all…

Inumaru Touma: Why….

Midou Torao: I look so dumb…. Secretly thinking about something this stupid and causing everyone trouble…

Inumaru Touma: You’re smart and cool, Tora! What happened to your usual confidence?

Midou Torao: I don’t know… It’s fine… Can we stop talking about this now?

Inumaru Touma: Even if we stop now, I’ll just ask you again!

Midou Torao: …..

Midou Torao: I wanted to do it.

Inumaru Touma: Eh…?

Midou Torao: An action scene. I wanted to do one by myself. I wanted to move around like a hero… that’s all.

Midou Torao: Sorry for saying such stupid things.

Day 7: The Future

Fandom: Free!

Pairing: Yamazaki Sousuke x Tachibana Makoto

Wordcount: 761

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6

Makoto and Sousuke chose to hold their bachelor parties inside private bars that were adjacent to each other in the following year. Haru said that the idea was disgusting, but they proceeded anyway.

“Nagisa, I already told you that Ran and Ren were the ones pestering me to get married,” Makoto reasoned for the umpteenth time. “They can’t wait to officially have another onii-chan in the form of a brother-in-law, is what they say. I did not get married for the sole sake of trying to one-up you and Haru, or however it is you put it.”

“Nagisa, lay off the teasing already,” even Haru stepped in at this point, for which Makoto is thankful. “I know him the best. Makoto will not admit it even if what you’re saying is absolutely correct.”

“Haru! You’re supposed to side me in this!”

Nagisa snickered. “It’s true, Mako-chan. How else did you two go from idiots who can’t admit they recognised each other to fiancés who are getting married tomorrow in the span of seven months?”

Makoto signed after taking a sip of his martini. “I regret how I encouraged Kisumi to attend the party next door. Why is he so close to both Sousuke and Rin again? He would have been on my side if he was here.”

“The party next door must have been a lot less fun with all the goody-two-shoes on their side. Aren’t you glad you get to hang out with the nurses instead, my boo?” Nagisa turned to his boyfriend.

“Actually, thinking about this logically, I’ve come to the conclusion that I belong with the rest of the doctors next door,” said Rei.

“I forgot you’re a goody-two-shoes yourself, Rei-chan.”

“I mean, think about it: Haru-senpai betrayed us by being in a secret relationship with Rin-senpai that started even before ours did, meanwhile Makoto-senpai betrayed us with Sousuke-senpai by getting married before we could. As a result, we are now no longer the iconic couple of TUH!”

“Oh, cry me a river,” Makoto must have had too much to drink, but Haru glanced at him for that and for a moment he looked like he was proud.

Haru then took a sip of his water—he was the designated driver—before clearing his throat and turning to Makoto. “I’m surprised you didn’t drop the idea of adjacent bachelor parties.”

“Me too, Mako-chan used to listen to everything Haru-chan said!”

“It’s great that you no longer do. Looks like Sousuke has been a good influence,” Haru had a small smile on his face as he said this, and Makoto could tell he meant it with his whole heart.

“And a bad influence at the same time! I never thought Mako-chan would be the type to marry someone so quickly,” Nagisa added. “But I’m so glad, because it must mean that he makes you so incredibly happy.”

It made Makoto all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that his closest friends were happy for him. “Well, he and I missed out on all those years we could have after all… Our relationship has been so steady and Sousuke is a reliable presence in my life, someone I can trust everything with. So, I thought why not? I genuinely can see myself being happy in a marriage with him, even ten years down the line.”

“Awwww, that’s so cute!” Rei giggled and was the one who actually had too much to drink. “Let’s do a toast, to Makoto-senpai and his future with Sousuke-senpai! Let’s do a group hug too!”

So they raised their glasses and Rei huddled everyone together in a tight embrace after they downed their drinks. For a brief moment, Makoto was on top of the world. To love and to be loved by the most important people in his life, there was nothing more he’d ask for.

He got teary-eyed and had a blocked nose then, before their moment was interrupted by the door being thrown open.

Nitori, still clad in his uniform, rushed in while panting, “I finally finished my shift!” He then realised that the team was having a moment without him, and instead of feeling bad about walking in at a bad time, he whined, “Hey, don’t leave me out just because I got off late! I am important too for making Makoto-senpai the fake patient during Dr Yamazaki’s birthday.”

Makoto would say that they’d end up together either way thanks to Kisumi, but he chose to just pull Nitori in to join in on the group hug.

There, everybody would be satisfied with the happy ending.

The End
