#tbhk beta

[iamhereinthebg]

My villain origin backstory is really seeing some Akane’s analysis putting chapter 25.5 (the one with old Lemon and Akane in it) as canon.

[mari-lair]

I'll post the rest of my tbhk wips later in a single post, but since this one is the only "new fic" in my docs, I'll post it separated

title: Again and Again

summary: AU where you can die in boundaries. The plan to rescue Aoi keeps failing and Akane is stuck in a time loop. (Set on chap 84-88)

Warning: Temporary character death and mild gore. Not beta read. Some parts are incompleted.

Pairing: aoikane, (and it is vague enough to be one-sided terukane or teruaoi or both, read it as whichever you want.)

Word count: 6k

Red.

Half of his world was dark red.

Akane felt cold, vaguely aware he was laying in bloody waters, but barely feeling it. It was hard to keep his eyes open. To keep breathing.

Is this his blood…? 

…The demon attack must have opened his chest wound again.

Attack…

Why was he attacked…? Something to do with Aoi-

Aoi rescue.

His eyes widened, lucid once more. His breath hitched, making him cough on the water.

Akane ignored the pain, forcing himself to move. He got on his elbows and looked around, spotting Kou with his head limp, the train wreckage giving enough support for the kid to stay sat while unconscious, blood dripping down his chin. 

He wasn’t moving.

Teru was closer to Akane, the water darker near him than anyone else, face unnaturally pale. It was so different from the confident and untouchable president he knows…

And Aoi…

Where is Aoi?

“I…I won’t forgive you!” Someone yelled, the voice sounded muffled, hard to process. Akane frowned at it, his senses jumbled but able to recognize it as Aoi’s voice. He tried to find her, getting on his elbow much to his body’s protests and coughing harshly, hurting his throat. He held his bleeding chest and sought her, freezing at the sight of her dangling in the air, a claw on her face, impeaching her from speaking, from breathing.

The tears in her empty eyes as she uselessly tried to punch No.6 hand made Akane push himself back up, needing to do something.

He felt every single part of his body protest but managed to get on his feet, stumbling after one step, but ignoring how his body burned: He needs to keep going. Keep walking. 

She will not be sacrificed.

Not on his watch.

His body disagreed with his conviction, legs shaking after every step “Stop…” He coughed, having difficulty talking “Stop…” He wheezed,  reaching for her, but stumbling to his knees.

He coughed more blood, feeling lightheaded but refusing to lose her. 

 “Aoi…”

She can’t die.

She can’t.

Akane vaguely registered the world tilting as he fell, the bloody boundary waiting for him with open arms.

.

Akane woke up in total darkness, devoid of any pain.

“Aoi!” He yelled loud enough to hurt his throat, adrenalin making him jump into action, caught off guard by the overly soft surface under his feet and losing balance the second something got tangled on his leg.

Akane fell down, slamming his chest on wood floorboards. The fall hurt his ribs, but he ignored the pain.

“Fuck, where am I…?” He groaned, unable to get the image of Aoi falling unconscious off his head, anxious to be taken who knows where while she was in danger.

Was he still on the far shore? This place is completely dry and overly quiet. He is alone.

Akane sweated, trying to think more rationally to find clues, realizing he was in his human body, wearing pajamas. What got tangled in his feet was his blanket, and the place he fell from is a bed: This is his bedroom.

Akane froze, feeling strange at the realization.

Was everything just a nightmare?

(But it felt so real…)

He grabbed his phone, ignoring the harsh light and checking the time: It was 11:33 pm, a day before their rescue mission. 

(So it really was just a nightmare…? It can’t be. He never had such a lucid dream before, much less one that he could remember in detail…)

He tried to switch to his supernatural body to confirm there weren’t any new injuries, and it was all a dream, but he couldn’t use his power.

Right. The severance. He has no way to know.

But he can’t deny he is in his room, and the phone says it’s too early to rescue Aoi. 

Akane sighed in relief, getting back to bed and running a hand through his hair: What rotten timing to get nightmares, he needs to be well rested for tomorrow, working at full capacity.

He needs a good night’s rest. He can’t waste time thinking about Aoi’s empty eyes and the blood on his body. Not now, when he’ll have to face reality so soon.

Akane dragged the covers over himself, falling on his small pillow and staring at the ceiling. Once his adrenaline crashed, he felt exhausted, so he closed his eyes, determined to make their real rescue mission not turn out like that.

.

He couldn’t sleep, thinking of his nightmare, growing far too restless about what would await them.

He got out to make himself tea at two in the morning, forcing himself to get sleep. If he failed Aoi because he was too tired to work properly he would never forgive himself.

. 

Akane made sure to pack everything, lanterns, coats, water, keeping it all neatly tucked in his camping backpack. He hesitated for a second but gritted his teeth and packed supplies unrelated to their mission, a few clothes, water, sweets, a blanket, games: Little things to cheer up Aoi.

If she turns out to be beyond saving, Akane will stay with her. She will disapprove, sweet as she is, but Akane has known her since they were kids, he knows she hates being alone, so he won't leave her alone. (Not again).

There was a sense of deja vu as he packed, but it was mostly exasperating. His nightmare just had to start in a mundane and realistic way, didn’t it? Now it feels like he had packed everything before.

.

Akane wanted to reach the red house at 10 am on the dot, as planned, but the road, which he had never taken before, felt oddly familiar.

Too familiar.

It’s unsettling.

Akane ended up running, hating how everything was like it had been in his dreams, and accidentally reaching the burned-down house before their agreed time. 

The red house remains were identical to his nightmares (memories?) too. 

…If his dreams really reflect reality the well connecting to the Far Shore would be on the left, and it would be too dark to see the bottom even with dad’s camping lantern.

Akane sweated when he truly found a cursed well to his left, turning on his lantern and seeing only darkness.

He held on tighter to his backpack strap, not liking whatever was happening. Did he see the future? But that felt so real, so lucid, if he focus he can still feel the phantom pain in his body, just like he had when his chest was pierced.

Maybe he went back in time? But that’s impossible, even Kako, the supernatural in charge of the past can’t rewind the entire world.

But there is coincidence and then there is… whatever is happening.

Will he find that same train if he jumps now? 

(He doesn’t know if he wants to.)

“Aoi?” A familiar voice  startled Akane out of it.

Akane turned towards Teru, half expecting the president to be soaked in blood, his face sickly pale, but he was as healthy as always, slightly amused “Impatient, aren’t we?”

“President,” Akane said instead of answering, feeling a lump in his throat, noticing Kou and Nene were also here, burning with determination, unaware of what awaited them.

Akane is pretty sure his nightmare wasn’t a nightmare at all, but to erase any remaining doubts, he asked Teru “We are already here, can you tell me what is inside the shrine box?”

“Ah, the box! Of course.” Teru smiled innocently, not sensing Akane’s unease as he messed with his bag “I brought it with me, take a look!”

Teru showed everyone a familiar demon hand with a finger missing.

Kou and Nene yelped in shock and disgust, Akane eyes widened, shaken for a completely different reason.

Teru's explanation about Demons turned into a buzz. 

(He heard it before)

“I put it on the pizza last night!” Teru finished with a proud aura.

Akane laughed harshly, feeling overwhelmed.

Does that means everything will happen again? Aoi almost being eaten in her wagon. Nene escape with No.7. The brothers fight. No.6 attack…

It had all been real.

He got back in time.

“What the fuck.” He cursed, thankful he got another chance but he feels so unprepared, what can he do now?

“Don’t make such a sullen face” Teru’s eyes crinkled, “The pizza was delicious wasn’t it?”

Ah yes, the pizza “A treat.”

Akane was so distracted, he got tripped by Teru when he went to check the well again, falling down.

“You asshole!” Akane yelled as he fell, hitting the water with a huff, the impact, and the familiar landscape clearing his mind.

He was given a second chance to save Aoi.

He got up, shaking the water off his hair and activated his supernatural form, determined to make the most of it.

.

Everything worked fine before, he just have to destroy No.6

He had stopped his time before. He can stop his time now too, make Teru slash him in two.

Akane paused, remembering Teru got taken out because of some sibling squabble with Kou.

Ugh, they have no time for this.

"President," Akane said after punching a supernatural in the face "this mission is important."

Teru seemed confused by his declaration, tying a monster’s snout shut with his beads "I am aware."

"So you better take it seriously." Akane kicked the top of another supernatural, slamming their face on the ground "Don't fight with Minamoto kouhai until we are back in the Near Shore with Aoi-chan"

]Teru slashed a supernatural’s chest, looking at him weirdly “I wasn’t planning to.”

“Not even if he tries to protect No.7?”

Teru paused, though thankfully, he wasn’t distracted enough to slow down his attacks. “He won’t, he promised to take responsibility if No.7 put a student in harm's way.” Teru said with the confidence of someone that lives with Kou, and has known the boy his whole life. “Kou doesn’t break his promises.”

“But if he does? We both know how he gets with No.7,” Akane insisted, sure he is smarter than that “There is a chance. A big one.”

Teru's face darkened, “He wouldn’t.” but he lost most of his confidence, quickly growing exasperated. He usually listens to Akane, and he is smart enough to see Kou is too loose with Hanako.

“...If he does I’ll lecture him later. After we are back on the far shore.”

Good, wonderful.

.

When No.7 showed up, Akane did not fall for his taunts, snarling when he said Aoi was already gobbled up, and going ahead, telling Teru to take care of him.

He did not slow down when the school wonder tried to attack him, aware Teru would stop him.

Akane rushed through the wagons, already knowing where Aoi will be. He run without mercy for anyone that got in his way, barging in while Aoi was under a blanket, sneaking around as best she could. She looked like a fairy, freezing once she stepped on a supernatural’s tail.

Akane felt his heart beat faster, stopping the time of everyone beside Aoi.

The one-eyed cheetah supernatural froze in time before it could pull the blanket off her head and Akane immediately crouched to her level.

Aoi blinked, confused.

He held her shoulder, her beautiful eyes were wide with disbelief, tangible. When he cupped her cheeks, he could reach her, she blushed a bit, her hands cracking from staying here too long, but not gone yet. “Akane-kun…?”

He just stared at her, trying not to overlap her image with the fresh memory of her limp body, her beautiful eyes empty, full of despair tears, and no oxygen.

“Aoi-chan” His eye stung, holding her close, and feeling her cracking hand hold onto his clock keeper cloak “I’m glad you’re okay.”

This time he’ll protect her.

He’ll keep her safe.

.

Aoi didn’t say anything, resting her forehead on his chest.

“Come on” He sniffed, holding her hand and giving her a reassuring smile, the ticking clock of his power limit not as important as Aoi’s fear “Let’s go home.”

Aoi nodded, following him as if in a trance.

“Akane-kun…” She said.

He turned to her, hyperaware they are on a tight schedule but willing to slow down for a bit for her.

Aoi kept staring at him, shaking her head with a small blush.

Akane softened, squeezing her hand.

.

“Not like that! You never let me do anything-” Kou’s voice, angry and hurt, made Akane’s mood drop, getting out of the train to see the two idiot fighting.

For fucks sake.

“Break it up!!” Akane yelled, running at them with Aoi following behind “What’s wrong with you two?!”

The bros tensed up, letting go of each other, the atmosphere between them rancid.

Akane glared at Teru “You said you wouldn’t start a fight!”

Teru just clenched his fists and looked away, clearly hiding something. 

“You better have a good reason to start this nonsense” He sighed in exasperation, grabbing Teru’s wrist when he went to sheath his sword “Don’t.”

Teru tensed up, his pulse fast, still angry about whatever happened with Kou, and being harsher than usual when slapping Akane’s hand away.

Thankfully he didn’t guard his sword, trusting Akane to give him an explanation.

“We’ll still need to fight, No.6 will show up”

Teru seemed confused, but after some thought he got on guard, agreeing “He is the guardian of the Kanagis”

“And a dangerous piece of- SHIT!”

Akane noticed the shadow on the water right away, well aware if their best fighter goes down so soon they won’t survive, and acting before he could think. He grabbed the back of Kou’s shirt and threw him as far away as he could. He may have panicked a bit, making Kou fly and slam his back on the train.

Attacking would be foolish, and there was no time to protect himself or stop time, so running it was. No matter how much he dislikes the alternative.

His arm still got hit, ripping a good chunk of his sleeves and drawing blood, but thankfully it wasn’t deep.

Still sting like a bitch though.

Kou groaned at the impact, sounding distressed for him “Aoi-senpai!”

“I’m fine!” Akane lied, not taking his eyes away from the towering demon reaching for him. 

He is scared, but he can’t let him win. For Aoi’s life, and the Minamotos’ as well, and awkwardly stumbled backyard, needing to get.

Teru got in front of him, barely positioning his sword in time to protect himself when No.6 attacked.

Right.

With Teru here, he has some time.

He grabbed his pocket watch, fumbling with it and keeping a close eye on the demon.

He can’t waste this second chance.

“I’ll take care of Kouhai, focus on the demon president!” Akane ordered, glancing at his watch arrow which moved far too slowly. Always taking a few tics to freeze time “I need you to buy me time.”

tic tock

Come on!

“I won’t let you stop time, boy.” The demon said, zooming on him with inhuman speed. He remembers very well when Akane had kicked his face. 

tic tok

Almost there!

“Don’t be so hasty.” Teru intercepted the demon's strike, and blocked his way with a strained smile. The blow made him stumble back but he didn’t take his eyes off No.6, black lightning surrounding his sword. 

Akane smirked at the solid defense, kicking a centipede and hissed in pain when another one bit his arm, seemingly coming from nowhere.

tic tok

Another centipede bit his wrist.

His clock fell.

After three more bites, Akane too, fell.

.

Teru wasn’t moving, blood raining down from his shoulder, painting the water red at an alarming speed

That’s a lot of blood.

The cut was far too close to his neck. Akane tried to check it, uneasy enough by how vulnerable the usually high and mighty exorcist looked, to seek a pulse, hoping he was better than he looked.

Akane touched something that wasn’t skin. Teru’s head tilting at an unnatural angle at his touch, nearly coming off.

Akane stared without fully processing the sight of thorn muscles and bloody bone. 

He felt bile in his throat, the way his stomach twisted aggravating his injuries.

He never witnessed death before. 

(Not like this-)

“Presi-” He vomited blood, turning away so it didn’t get on Teru’s (corpse) face. His vision was shaky, his ears ringing from the drum of his heart.

There was a shadow over him, and when he looked up, No.6 claws sunk in his face.

.

Akane woke up with a gasp, back to being uninjured in the dark.

Back to his bedroom.

(back in time)

He took a deep breath, looking for his phone and frowning at the 12:01 pm in it. Great, so the time he gets back to isn’t stable.

He looked at the ceiling unable to sleep now that he know it’s real. 

.

Akane didn’t pack anything. He already knows what he is dealing with, and he doesn’t need weight.

.

“Before we go, I need to make something clear” Akane looked at Kou and Teru, making sure to not stare at Teru for long, at risk of tainting his face with the bloody and cracked neck of his memory, when ordering “Don’t fight.”

the brothers looked at him weirdly. “We won’t.”

“I am serious, I don’t care what happens, fight later.”

“We won’t fight Aoi,” Teru said, half confused, half amused.

“We don’t really fight” Kou agreed.

‘Then what the fuck did I have to break twice?’ Akane thought with some annoyance. “Not even if he helps No.7 out”

“I won’t-”

“You will” He narrowed his eyes at the bad liar.

“Aoi. Stop. I know you're restless but this is paranoia.”

Akane narrowed his eyes, annoyed.

“Is not paranoia bastard, I am from the future. You two will get in a sibling fight that will get us all killed” Akane admitted, “So just don’t, I don’t care how important the argument turn out to be, it isn’t worth dying for”

Teru blinked slowly.

Kou and Nene, who knew he was right about them aiming to safe Hanako, and already witnessed some time nonsense at the red house, seemed wary.

Teru frowned “What do you mean everyone will die”

“No.6 will come.”

“No.6?”

“Yes!” He snapped, “and we are wasting time!”

.

His yelling at everyone about the future way took too long.

When he reached Aoi’s compartment she was already eaten: The blood on a tall supernatural fangs and the abandoned flowers that used to adorn her hair the only signs she had been here at all.

“No…” Akane fell to his knee, holding to the destroyed flower on the ground, something inside breaking.

When the supernaturals attacked him, he didn’t defend himself.

.

Akane woke up with tears in his eyes.

His dread increased at the neon 12:31 pm on his phone.

…He can’t be sure if this is a pattern yet, going back exactly half an hour two times in a row can be a coincidence, but it does mean for sure that he is getting less time back with each attempt.

He clenched his fists.

.

He jumped over Teru's leg when the asshole tried to trip him down the well. Landing on the boundary with no problem.

.

Akane punched the supernatural that had been on the edge of eating Aoi with no mercy, the memory of bloody fangs making his heart beat way too fast, and held Aoi tight, carrying her like a princess.

The weight strained his pierced chest, but he does not care.

He needs to get out of here, and he need to be quick.

He started running, faster and faster, slamming through the closed door.

Aoi held on tight to his shirt, flinching when he kicked a door off its hinges “...Akane-kun?”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you” Akane felt genuine remorse, not wanting to make things worse, but he can’t waste time “Everything will be fine.” it has to, this time please  “we need to find Minamoto senpai quickly, this place is dangerous.”

Aoi nodded slowly.

.

Akane kept running, spotting Kou and Teru.

“...Her side.” Teru said, putting a hand to cover his face, his voice far too controlled to not be angry “On her side.”

He could sense an explosion forming, Teru's voice growing cold “Quit being a hero-”

“I got Aoi-chan!” Akane cut him off, having not seen this part of their fight, and frankly? He doesn’t care. He hope his presence will be enough to make the idiots remember their situation “I got Aoi-chan!”

Teru froze at his voice, he seemed to be going through a crisis, his hand still hiding his face. 

“Minamoto-kouhai, president. I have” knowledge of the future “a really bad feeling, we need to get out!” He glared, no time for explanations, no time for anything “Now.”

“...Right.” Teru said, taking his hand off his face, assuming the usual leader position, but noticeably a bit off  “Right.” He repeated, as if reminding himself of the situation “...Yashiro-san run off with No.7. We need to get her back before leaving, where did she go?”

Kou frowned.

Akane felt dread “...You did mark a meeting place, didn’t you Minamoto-Kouhai?”

“No… She just asked me to distract Teru-nii.” Kou admitted, oblivious to the way his words made Teru agitated, holding on tighter to his sword “She never told me where she would go.”

“So you just let her run away, with the boy she like, in the far shore,” Akane frowned, feeling a familiar disconnect with Nene. He can give her the benefit of doubt, remember that she is not the brightest girl around, and assume she just forgot to plan that.

But he saw how big her backpack is, how much she planned. And how much she trusts that slimy ghost.

He have no doubts, that boy crazy idiot wanted to throw her life away to stay with him, she didn’t plan on returning.

Damn it, he can’t let that happen.

“It seems she is not on your side.” Teru told Kou, his tone cold, uncharacteristically petty.

Kou flinched, confused but clearly hurt.

Akane looked at the president, realizing with some shock that Teru was trying to hurt Kou. What the fuck, why would he do this? He values Kou, he heard way too much worrying and gushing about his ‘dear siblings’ to not know Teru wants him to be happy, so this was completely out of line, nonsensical. “What is wrong with you?”

Teru snarled at him, glancing at Aoi and holding back what he wanted to say, looking away from them.

“...You’re acting weird.” Kou said

Aoi tugged his collar, making Akane look down at her, softening his voice “What’s wrong?”

She still looked in a state of shock, hardly believing she was rescued for real and this is not a dream, but she managed to ask “...Nene-chan is here too?”

Akane softened his features, feeling a pang in his chest.

Aoi wants to see Nene again, and have her friend with her. Aoi wants to apologize. She would never accept Nene dying in her place.

“Yes,” Kou smiled, his eyes looked too tired for to fool anyone “She should be back soon!”

‘Soon’ isn’t good enough, they can’t stay here like sitting ducks for No.6.

Akane isn’t so sure she’ll come back at all.

 It made him angry.

…Does love blind her that much? How can she be so ready to die, and make Aoi lose one of her very few friends, without telling her about it? Did she just assume this is what Aoi would have preferred? Did she learn nothing from Hanako's actions? 

(Or did she trust Akane? Does she believe he and the president could handle this?)

Akane sweated. He can’t leave Nene here.

But he doesn’t know if they have enough time to lose searching for her.

At any moment No.6 will-

Akane's eyes widened at the shadow in the water “Kouhai!” the shadows quickly started gaining form, a black claw aiming for Kou’s face “Watch out-”

Teru pushed Kou away, able to land a blow since his sword was unsheathed, but not able to dodge.

His shoulder started bleeding heavily.

No.6 didn’t bat an eye at the slash on his own chest, picking Minamoto with a single hand and absently touching his bleeding chest, unimpressed “This blade used to be worth of fear” He threw Teru to the side, painting the boundary water red “Your clan have grown weak.”

Akane eyes widened at the familiar situation.

Something in his chest tightened, not sure if it was the pain of another failure, this sickening deja vu, or Aoi's terrified grasp on his vest-

No.6 will-

(kill everyone again)

When he approached Akane already expected the worst, he can’t win he can’t win he can’t win

Not like this.

Not with Aoi-

The claw came his way and Akane turned his back towards the danger, shielding Aoi.

Aoi eyes widened.

“Is okay-” He coughed, feeling his heart squeeze at the way he dirtied her face with blood. At the fearful tears on her pale face “I-” He held her arm, as gently as he could, hating that he couldn’t stop the shaking “I’ll save… you. I love you.”

It was selfish.

Aoi told him she doesn’t like when he praises her too much. He know she doesn’t want to hear it.

But he watched her be taken so many times now and he can’t… He can’t let her go again. He doesn’t want her to get hurt, he doesn’t want to see her scared like and be unable to comfort her.

He want to be able to say it again. 

Aoi trembled, holding his cloak with all her strength, voice shaky, so quiet  “D-Don’t…”

Akane’s attempt to reassure her this is fine, it looks worse than it feels, turned into a wheeze, feeling the blood in the back of his throat, and wanting to use his arm as a tissue, to make sure Aoi didn’t get dirtier, but it made him lose balance. Thankfully able to fall on his side instead of fully crushing Aoi.

‘Sorry, I got you dirty’ He thought, but couldn’t find his voice, his vision getting blurry. ‘Sorry for doing this my way Aoi-chan’

“So you love her.” No.6 said with something strange in his tone, his mostly neutral face gaining a slight frown. When he picked Akane up, his brain bouncing at the abrupt movement, the demon said something Akane couldn’t fully register, he think it’s something about being wise…? or a wife? but he didn’t care, he used his dying focus on Aoi.

Aoi, who was glaring at No.6 despite her clear fear. Aoi, got up in wobbly legs but didn’t run.

She want to run, he knows Aoi is always running away, carrying herself with the pride of someone that is sure she will win any conflict but never acting.

(is so cute)

“Let..” She gulped “Let him go!”

He could see the way she raised her bell, hating the despair on her face, the way she felt cornered, but feeling pride when she managed to create a lightning. Something about them made No.6 angry throwing Akane on the train debris with too much strength.

It was far more brutal than the usual ways No.6 killed him. 

(It hurt way less to die quickly, 

Aoi really is amazing, being the one to help him again)

.

Another loop, another brother's argument.

“This isn’t about No.7 escaping is it?” Akane sighed, having witness this again and again and again. Tired of it.

They didn’t reply.

Kou looked confused so whatever happened is probably Teru’s misunderstanding a situation? Akane can’t imagine the kid wanting to hurt someone he loves and then acting like it wasn’t his problem.

“President,” Akane said, already coming to terms that this loop is ruined so he might as well get info out of it. “What bothered you? If it’s important say it.” He thought about Aoi, adding a sad “Before is too late”

Only after Kou was a bit away, did Teru told him “...He said he is on Nene’s side.”

Akane waited for more but more did not come.

He crossed his arms, like an impatient parent “That's it?? Why do you care, we knew he would go after her, he is soft on supernaturals is not like he hates you”

Teru clenched his fists.

oh

“...Do you really think he hates you?” Akane raised his brows “Or are you mad someone is more important than you to him now?"

“Aoi.” He said coldly, far too angry for the accusation to not have hit.

He can't believe it.

He died for this?

"You're pathetic " He scoffed, "Oi Kouhai, come tell the president you still like him so he stop being an idio-"

.

Another failure.

Again and again and again and again.

.

Akane stared at his bedroom ceiling. Somewhat detached from experiencing immense pain and switching to numbness.

4:32 am

He is running out of time.

.

Teru smirked with controlled hatred at No.7  “It seems like we found you before her. You-”

“No.7” Akana cut Teru off, getting in front of the president and extending a hand to the wagon exit “Go help Aoi-chan. I’ll take care of him”

Hanako and Teru looked at him weirdly.

“...You want me to save Akane-san?” Teru frowned.

‘No. I want to be the one by her side. But No.7 is the one I need to destroy to stop this loop. If everyone dies one more time, I’ll lose it.’

“I trust you.” Akane said, which he never wanted to say out loud cause the boy is aggravating and conceived enough as it is, but it is true and he doesn’t have time “Go get her, I’ll catch up to you soon.”

“I am afraid it doesn’t matter who goes, is too late,” Hanako said, lying through his teeth without a care “She got gobbled up-”

Akane jumped on him, missing the punch “Shut up, ” he turned to teru “and you, get out of here!”

“You’re not an exorcist,” Teru protested “You can’t destroy his sou-”

“I can do plenty of damage” Aka snapped, not in the mood to have a staring contest “Didn’t you say you were going to save Aoi-chan? Go!”

Teru seemed like he really wanted to argue, but he reluctantly rushed to Aoi. Finally.

Akane knew the idiot would get the job done, so he focused on stopping Hanako, grabbing the back of his shirt when he jumped towards Teru and slamming him on the ground.

Hanako groaned at the impact, getting back on his feet.

“I thought you would go after your dear Aoi”

“You don’t know shit” Akane snaps with venom, all his anger boiling, having no qualms about using this slimy bastard as a target.

If he didn’t try to get Nene lifespan back, Aoi wouldn’t be (dead) here.

Akane snarled and used his full strenght, getting a clean hit on his face and ignoring how Hanako aimed for his pierced chest, used to pain after all his deaths.

If he didn’t exist none of this would be happening.

He hit harder, the sting in his knuckles growing numb after a while.

.

“Senpai!” Kou yelled, grabbing his elbow with fear in his eyes “Stop-”

Akane immediately used his powers to stop his time, his anger disappearing when he realized how bloody his fists look, caking his watch glass with blood.

Ah.

He stared at every frozen person in the wagon, only two of which had their time stoped.

Maybe Teru had been wrong about him not being able to destroy someone’s soul.

he feels sick

(he felt relief, finally, finally, the culprit is dead.)

.

Teru got back holding Aoi on his back, talking about who knows what with a small blush on his cheeks when she rested her chin on his shoulder.

there was tiny dropped of supernatural blood on her kimono and his jacket.

(Akane supposes it would be hard to get a clean rescue when Aoi was surrounded.)

Akane smiled a little, wanting to hold Aoi again, but resisting the urge, feeling a twist in his heart at the wide look in her eyes. The way it turned into horror when she saw No.7 breaking body.

Teru narrowed eyes, his silence making Akane want to scream.

"You would do the same," Akane said coldly.

.

Teru was holding Aoi when No.6 attacked. Akane protected him by taking the hit. Any worry he may feel numb now.

.

Akane woke up

His dread increased at the neon 5am on his phone.

…Shit.

“I’ll need your help.,” Akane said

Nene was startled “My help…?”

“Yes, remember our team up Yashiro-san.” Akane said, hoping he didn’t sound as agitated as he felt “I just realized how you can help.”

Akane didn’t say that he trust her this time, he doesn’t like to lie.

He understands they are not on the same mentality, and that no matter how much Nene values Aoi, she will always prioritize Hanako. Even when the ghost ignores her own wishes, even when her dear friend is in danger.

…He forgives her.

Loves make you blind, he can understand that. 

Akane hasn’t thought about Nene when Aoi dropped her in No.6’s trash with No.7 because he knows that sleazy ghost would do everything to protect her. Nene likely knew he would do everything to protect Aoi, so while it may leave a bad taste in his mouth, he can understand Nene abandoning her friend for her crush.

She had no idea everyone will die when she runs away.

(That Akane would fail to protect anyone. Again, and again, and again.)

He could accept it.

Had accepted many times.

But he won’t do it again, he needs Teru’s and Kou’s fight to not happen, they can discuss whatever issue they have later, when it doesn’t cost their lives. For that, he needs to make Nene change her plans with Kou and Hanako.

“I want you to look for Aoi-chan with Me.”

“Aoi-chan…” Nene frowned “I… I can’t.”

“The severance will be broken after we rescue her.” He pause, looking at teru for confirmation, who nodded “You can go see No.7 after,”

"but-"

.

“Do you have more bells?”

“Please, for Aoi!”

.

Teru tried to trip him down the well.

As he does every. Fucking. Time.

Akane was still angry about his stupid fight with his brother, still angry at the entire situation, so he sidestepped Teru’s leg, pushing him down the well. Teru was caught off guard, tripping and instinctively grabbing the back of Akane’s shirt for support, forcing him to fall down too.

He vaguely saw Nene and Kou peek into the well with wary looks before darkness surrounded him and he was teleported to the train.

Akane fell on top of Teru, glaring at him.

“You pushed me” Teru frowned, offended.

“You” already tripped me again and again, shut up “tried first”

.

“S-senpai.” Kou eyes widened, not expecting him to take the hit.

Akane ignored him, snarling at No.6 like a wild animal and holding his pocket watch with both hands, clinging to it until his fingers grew numb. He will make his time stop even if it kill him.

No.6 tried to cut his hands off, to punch a hole through his stomach, but Akane held through the pain, intending to laugh at No.6 startled face, feeling a hint of smug satisfaction to once, just once, catch the demon off guard, but only coughing instead.

Still, the taste of blood didn’t spoil his mood.

It was too late for the demon, he got what he wanted.

His clock ticked: No.6 time stopped.

His plan worked.

“Aoi!” Teru paled, the way he stared at the rain of blood by Akane’s feet was bitterly familiar, but he had no sympathies to spare. Why was Teru just standing there? No.6 time was stopped, he can finally take him down.

‘We only have five minutes, hurry up’ He tried to warn but it come of as “Fiv…” He coughed “Min..urry up…!”

Teru cut No.6 down in a snap, taking Akane off his claw.

“Akane-kun!” Aoi yelled. She never yells “Don…”

He blacked out.

He comes back to it vaguely, watching Aoi lean over him with wet eyes.

A part of him felt bad.

Most of him was relieved to see her alive. To see her so expressive.

He tried to brush her hair, reassure her Teru will look after her, nene will be by her side, she still have a lot to live for, but it was hard to talk. His touch left a blood stain on her beautiful hair. He could barely register her holding his hand before briefly blacking out again.

“Switch to…” Teru was yelling something at him. He tried to pay attention to it, vaguely registering words, aware the tone he was using was reserved for important situations, but taking a while to process the message: “Switch to your human form or you’ll die!”

He did as told, coughing at the sudden ease in which he could breath, still feeling extremely weak but no longer too weak to control his own body.

The far shore felt weird in his human form, but he had the strength to hug Aoi now, so he didn’t care.

“Senpai” Kou said, unshed tears in his eyes “...Are you okay?”

“Yes.” He feels a bit itchy, it’s strange, but he feels good.

“Aoi isn’t a Kannagi, his family has no ties with the supernatural.” Teru said, staring too hard at his watch, which seem to have gotten cracked  “Without his contract, he is a normal human.”

“ I do feel… strange, but my hands aren’t being damaged. I am not hurt or anything…” He frowned, turning to Aoi, more relaxed now that the threat was eliminated “Does it hurt?”

Aoi shook her head.

As they walked, Akane felt strange. He looked at the train, feeling something from it. “There may be something on the train, there is this pull-”

Teru grabbed his wrist, his face rigid and cold. Almost… Pained? 

Akane frowned, confused.

“Do not follow this feeling.” Teru ordered, looking around “You are too far away from the near shore, even with the severance stopped, your body will be undone without outside forces” He held tighter “Kou, where is Yashiro-san? We need to get out of here now.”

“I don’t know.”

They never do, maybe he’ll waste a loop just to follow her and drag her back to everyone.

They talked but Akane felt detached from it all, feeling like the phrasing was different but their words were still the same as always. He tunned them out, looking at the train. The weird pull was so strong, but it didn’t feel dangerous. Still, he doesn’t want to die. 

He have so much to leave. He can never leave Aoi alone either, so he sucked up and ignored this overwhelming feeling.

“Akane-kun?” Aoi pushed his hand, “Come on…” She was so openly worried “L-let’s go.”

He broke through the strange feeling, holding Aoi’s hand. “Sorry, let’s go.”

.

As they walked farther away from the train, Akane started to feel nauseous and a bit detached from his body, not feeling Aoi’s delicate hand in his anymore.

He made sure to check it was still there, not wanting to experience leaving her behind again, and seeing her holding on tight.

Ah…

“Where is Minamoto senpai?”

Aoi and Kou exchanged looks “...He went to get Nene-chan he said…” Aoi bit her lips.

“He said you’re too close to death.” Kou informed “You need to get back to the near shore quickly or your human body will come undone,” He sounded tense “Teru nii said your supernatural body is dead since your clock broke. You’re just a normal human now.” 

“Keep walking.” Aoi said, looking at his hand. “We’ll… Talk later.”

‘I am scared you’ll die, I don’t want you to die!’

She really is such a sweet girl.

“I’m not going to die” Akane smiled, resisting the urge to stop to kiss her forehead, no amount of cloudiness able to change his mind “I’ll stay by your side no matter what” He smiled gently, keeping up their rushed pace even if it has grown harder to do so “We still need to play games and go to the zoo.”

Instead of smiling Aoi's eyes widened, openly horrified.

Ah…

Did she change her mind? That’s okay, they don’t have to go to the zoo, they can go whatever she wants, she can change her mind as many times as she wants.

Akane went to brush her hair, clean up some of the lingering blood on it, and realizing his hand was a bit transparent but feeling strangely detached from the observation.

.

Akane woke up in his bedroom.

Akane stared at the dark ceiling, the dreamy detachment of his situation completely gone, lucidity feeling like a slap in the face.

…Why is he here?

Aoi was saved. 

She is safe, the rescue was a success! He won!!

His clock broke, he shouldn’t be back!

But he is

Maybe he always will.

Akane laughed. He laughed loudly, the sound sounding choked, more of a creeping sob.

He grabbed his stupid phone with the bright 5:00 am in it and threw on the ground, breaking it to pieces.

Does dying reset? 

Fine. He won’t die.

.

“...Aoi?” Teru’s voice sounded a bit sleepy “It’s 5am…? Did some-” He yawned “...Did something happ-”

“I’m going to rescue Aoi now,” Akane cut him off, grabbing his house keys “Come with me.”

There was a pause, "… Aoi what are you talking about?” He sounded confused, a bit of wariness creeping into his sleepy voice “We have plans-”

“Your plans won’t work, president.” He slammed his front door close with more force than needed, clenching his phone until his fingers ached “The kids will ruin this mission. Either come with me or I’ll go alone.”

“You won’t be able to get out if you go alone, Aoi listen to yourself. I know you want to get Akane-san soon, but this is foolish.” Teru said, suddenly sounding completely awake. “What has brought this sudden change in-”

“I don’t have time to lose” Akane groaned "I will only wait for you for twenty minutes. Come alone.”

“Aoi-”

He turned the phone off.

ind. pri. sel. multimuse blog. est. 08/23

blog for fandoms related to but not limited to — genshin, hsr, bsd, & p5r. these may change overtime but presently this is what i can handle.

𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐒: scaramouche/wanderer — @kikun, zhongli (genshin); dr ratio, dan heng (hsr); osamu dazai (bsd); akira kurusu/joker (p5r).

𝐑𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓: kaveh, neuvillette (genshin); tecchou suehiro (bsd); lu guang (link click); hanako, akane aoi (tbhk); xie lian (tgcf); lan wangji (mdzs) + others.

collected by — gem.

18+. she/her. full time work will mean slow responses but i will do my best.

𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒

one. this blog is selective & mutuals only. that being said, i will give everyone a chance to interact at least once. feel free to message me privately if you ever have a plot or inquiry, i'm always happy to chat! ask memes are welcome to all mutuals. note: i use the beta editor. i also use small font but if adjustments are needed just lmk!

two. most of my responses will be semi-literate to literate. this DOES NOT mean you have to match. i prefer a good rapport with my partners and that can exists with long replies or short ones.

three. my activity will be SPORADIC. like everyone, i have responsibilities in life and on top of that my studies do take a majority of my time. i will still try to stay as active as i can on the blog.

four. there will be NSFW present on the blog. for now, i'm uncertain as to whether it will be a large portion. if you are a minor PLEASE do not interact. there are also heavily dark themes present on this blog. please exercise caution.

five. my portrayals of can range from canon compliant to canon divergent. i am very flexible when it comes to plotting depending on the verse and the idea that is raised. however, my default is ALWAYS canon compliant.

six. personally, i'm okay with shipping but this will mostly lie in the overall chemistry developed overtime. still, I'm up for it since I ADORE shipping in all veins including romantic, toxic, platonic and falsified.

seven. this blog is multimuse, OC, multiship, crossover and AU friendly! i just need a brief idea or a guide towards the plot we might undertake beforehand. basically, hold my hand and guide me.

eight. normal etiquette applies : DNI if you are a MINOR, you are racist, you are homophobic, you factkin - you will be hardblocked on sight

nine. duplicates are absolutely a-okay! i love discussing and reading the numerous headcanons and musings surrounding my menaces. if anyone ever wants to go into depth about any of them, please feel free to message me!

ten. please DO NOT involve me in any drama. i've left fandoms due to incidents in the past and I would appreciate not being a part in any of it again.

eleven. art is not mine - most has been from the respective authors and shows themselves but I will credit any art used in either my pinned or a future carrd.

if anyone ever wants to message me outside of tumblr, please don't hesitate to ask! i frequent discord mostly.

[kikiwiwiz]

İm not sure if this makes sense but i have been thinking about this idea of mine for a while now. İdk if this is ooc or not i haven't rereaded tbhk in a hot minute and i cannot rember

Anyways a possible fic, maybe? Not sure tho depends on my beta readers' moods.

[mguvmii]

៚˚˖ rᥙᥣᥱ᥉ bᥱf᥆rᥱ rᥱqᥙᥱ᥉tιᥒg !

here's my list to look over! If youre unsure about something, either message me or send an ask <3! (before you read this , take a look at my carrd for the requirements to interact and ask!)

𔔁 minors and adult shipping isn't allowed here! This means smut between them and other mature themes. I prefer legal characters to ship. Platonic is allowed for minors and adults.

𔔁 certain topics I will not write about , mainly included heavy topics. These asks ans topics are restricted:

• cnc ,, noncon ,, dubcon.

• incest (includes stepceat) ,, r!pe ,, sa.

• yandere ,, abo (alpha beta omega).

𔔁 regarding scheduling, I will start to open certain time limits to request an anime / character before I announce that I won't be writing for them temporarily.

• This is because theres certain characters im just tired of writing for over and over. (Tbhk, it's amazing but I'm taking a break from them!) I will make a post to let you guys know when I will write for them and how long! (Once the deadline is closed don't send asks about them.)

Feel free to look around!

[kittytheartist]

ahhhhhh i love ur ideas for beta!terukane! it does seem interesting ngl and how different those two are from our current terukane now

but quick question! would kako and mirai still exist in ur ideas for the beta jshk world or would it be something different, instead?

all in all, i would love to see more of ur ideas for beta!terukane or even how they met the current terukane!

hi :)

so happy you liked my beta!TeruKane!! TwT

it was so fun to write them and so happy people like it and can agree<3 but it was kinda scary writing them and figuring out what would actually be different from canon because those bitches can be so different but also so similar jsjsjs

about your question...

we see the old clock still at the front of the seven mystery meeting room, and I assume there is still three, I believe that because of the three major handles on the clock

so yes I think Beta!Kako and Beta!Mirai DO exist! although I think Mirai wouldn't be as small as she is in canon, but still young and small.

I think Beta!Mirai would hide behind Kako more and ask sweet more innocent questions, instead of canon not really asking much. and Beta!Mirai would try too hangout with Akane throughout the day, just be on his shoulder or something, which Akane doesn't want and tries to shake her off. beta!Mirai wouldn't be as locked up at the old clock tower, and doesn't have to wear her gloves all the time.

she'd know her place more and her duty as the future, like most of the supernaturals seem to know more in pilot.

Beta!Kako would be more involved, he'd say more. and when Mirai runs off to hangout with him he'd trust Akane to watch over her, he'd see it as his responsibility also, since now he's one of them :)

Akane would be annoyed from this but wouldn't say much. honestly he'd act like this most of the time he's around the clock keepers

or he'd just give a blank smile of "I hate all of what's happening" but he wouldn't shake Mirai off or anything honestly after class(if she dropped in during class) he'd scold her on coming in when he's doing school work.

we'd get more panels like this, where Kako is just the surprised grampa

they're just more of a family, except in a way that's so NOT knit together but are more friendly whilst not talking as much canon. idk it's a weird in-between?

and about Beta!TeruKane....I feel like they'd either stand closer or stand REALLY far from each other

and as much as beta!Akane would respect beta!Teru,,,,,he threatens him with his bat once in a while, but is always put back in place by Teru's blade, I think Beta!Teru would use his sword a bit more then canon on Akane lmao

anyways here Anon I hope you enjoyed this!! I know this was a bit late :( edit: I BLANKED AGAIN SORRY YOU'RE NOT ANON AGHGHDGHDJDH MY HEAD OS EMPTY OOPS

and I didn't talk too much more about Beta!TeruKane but that's because I'm making another post on them from another ask so dw you'll get more haha~

[rineshower]

holy shit i love this😭😭😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and ur take on beta!akane is such a fucking mood and beta!teru sounds adorable!!

im excited for part 2!!

i saw a tumblr user talking about beta versions of terukane so i was wondering if u have ur own ideas about them? and what would've happened if beta terukane meets the terukane we have now?

This is such a fun ask! I ended up rambling, so I’ll focus on beta terukane here and talk about their meeting with canon in another post.

Let’s start with Beta Akane! Unlike canon Akane, he does not seem to have a wristwatch, so he either isn’t a clock keeper at all, or he rejects his supernatural side even more than canon Akane.

It would be super funny if he was still half supernatural, so i’ll stick to that. Also because he would not give a shit about the clock keepers, like, have you seen this pathetic boy?? He is a two-faced jerk that does not strike me as someone with nearly as much honor and pride as canon Akane.

If he was fooled into a contract by the clock keepers he would immediately try to woo Aoi in his clock keeper form and cry that she can't see his 'pretty and fancy' looks, which would have "made her fall in love for sure!"

He'll show up for his duty but he'll switch between bluntly voicing all his murder wishes and sulking in a corner, too busy crying about wanting to be near Aoi chan instead of doing any cleaning or keeping an eye on Mirai. Give him a single evening and one tiny little bit of attention, and he’ll have a mental breakdown, going over his life story, and how cruel the keepers are for adding this to his problems. This boy completely forgot he was supposed to be on duty, turning the boundary into a therapy session Kako did not sign up for, Akane's presence actually makes it easier for Mirai to escape.

Kako is so drained by him, he doesn’t even complain when Akane stops showing up to do his 'duties'. Is good enough that the boy occasionally spreads their rumors.

Another appearance change is that Akane doesn’t have his vice-president armband here, but he does have his glasses. Usually, I would say this means he either met Teru outside the student council, in a place where he interacts with the exorcist enough to get his enchanted glasses, or that the glasses are normal glasses and he is blind, but this is beta Akane that we are talking about and I am convinced his glasses are useless, just for aesthetic, cause beta Akane genuinely believes “It’s all about looks”

He judges people based on their appearances, convinced everyone also thinks like this.

When Akane talks about his failed attempts to get Aoi’s attention, he only starts wearing glasses when Aoi fell in love with a genius type of guy. Glasses have the stereotype of making people ‘look smart’, so he definitively only started wearing it to look smart, just he wore wrist warmers when Aoi liked the basketball player despite the background characters she (presumably) has a crush on not wearing it.

He feels like an arrogant jerk (he is) but he is also very naive?? Desperate to get attention?? He is far more two faced than canon akane, smiling even when he’s angry, but he is also even more open and honest about his feelings. He is more selfish than canon Akane too, he reallly really want to talk about his problems, he feel like they aren’t fair and he gets bothered by it instead of sucking up and ‘moving on’.

He stopped his attempt to murder Lemon to answer his questions, even when he was sure Lemon was a good for nothing, and the slight hint of pity and sympathy he is shown by lemon make him so happy, he admit he could became a friendship, he get sparkles in his eyes!!

...And he also has a one track mind, getting ready to murder Yamabuki again the second he finishes his vent/ "we could have been friends" admission.

The ‘Maidens, money, love and innocence' must be a spin-off that takes place in the future, cause beta Aoi is seen near lemon and she clearly got a crush on the student council president. So now Akane is in the student council as well, he is the vice president.

He also seems to be friends with Hatori Kyou in this one-shot? So becoming friends with ‘romantic rivals’ must be a beta Akane thing. Good for him.

He does not break down crying in this one shot, but he still has no brain-to-mouth filter, which includes his attraction to people. Kittytheartist said on their take on beta terukane that Akane feels far gayer and I agree! He has an interest in others' love life, no matter if the focus is on a dude, and he think Shigaraki is better than chii-chan, the muscles left him in shock and awe (he likes muscles)

Now let’s go Beta Teru! We just have this to work with. A mention from the pilot.

Teru is still an exorcist that Kou respects, so he must have his exorcist job at night, and during the day, he seems to focus on his studies. He seems to have more trouble in school than canon Teru, who barely had to study to ace every test, he also isn't in the ‘Maidens, Money, Love, and Innocence’ one-shot, so student council work is not part of his duties, his studies really are only for school.

So he isn't a genius, but he is still hard-working and takes his job/duties seriously. Probably not as cold and eficient when exorcising supernaturals but still hating them.

He wasn’t mentioned as one of Aoi's crushes despite beta Aoi falling in love all the time, so Teru doesn’t seem to be particularly popular or notably handsome either. We learn only that he is an exorcist, unlike canon Teru, whose very introduction was of a king of popularity like no other, the peak of beauty.

So he likely doesn't get that much attention, and does not act as fake as canon Teru. I think he'll be a more relaxed version of Teru, smiling with his siblings but mostly neutral at school, pay attention to classes and doing his best there.

Since Teru isn’t in the student council, he and Akane must have met each other in another way. They have basically nothing in common, and Teru doesn’t stand out, so I think Teru would catch Akane using his clock-keeper powers to stop Aoi’s time.

Now, beta Akane is not evil or a full-on creep, but he is far more desperate for attention than canon Akane, so I think he would hold Aoi’s hand and cry about it after pausing her time instead of just staring. Maybe he'll even brush her hair or poke her lips with a shaky finger, which is something Teru cannot overlook.

So beta Akane, mister “looks are everything”, will see Teru as a crazy otaku (cause of his sword), someone dumb (cause he is blond and if Akane believes in the ‘glasses are for smart people’ stereotype, he definitively believe in the ‘blonds are dumb’ stereotype too) and a serial killer. He’ll say all his thoughts out loud too, much to Teru’s annoyance.

Beta teru may not be as violent and strategic as canon Teru but he will have no mercy for this ‘rude supernatural’, Akane will go down so fast, heart skipping a beat from the mix of “wow, blondie knows how to use the gigant sword, he looks kind of good when surrounded by lightnings” and “I don’t want to die, I’m young and full of dreams! Please, at least let me do a bucket list!!!”

And Teru realizes he is half human, so he technically can’t kill him. He let Akane go, and Akane's standard is very low, so he gets the ‘doki doki’s at his mercy.

Akane will do just a tiny bit of research on Teru (aka, check his file on the student council and curse the ‘murderous asshole’, but still stare at his photo for too long) and complain so much about him Kyou has learned to just ignore his vice president.

Akane sticks by Aoi’s side, but if he spots Teru in the corner of his eyes, he’ll immediately switch focus and stalk him. He isn’t very subtle, you don’t have to be a perception genius to notice him.

Beta Teru also don’t have any friends so when Teru calls him out they end up talking (mostly Akane venting and Teru listening) whenever Akane is too rude or crude, Teru will zap him. He loves to hurt Akane, and he is always torn between flattered and confused whenever Akane randomly compliments him in the middle of a tirade of insults, always flip-flopping between angry and happy to talk with Teru. He'll be laughing with Teru about something only to abruptly notice how cute Teru's laugh is and become so flustered angry he'll hit him "Stop!!"

Eventually, they get closer and Teru is offering to enchant his glasses and Akane is helping Teru with his studies.

When Akane sees Teru in his summer uniform he freak out, cause sure, beta Teru isn’t the ‘peak of beauty’ like canon Teru but he still got solid muscles and scars that Akane thing is pretty hot and wow maybe he has a new kink?? Just wow. (Yes he says everything out loud, in front of Teru. The exorcist snorts and laugh loudly to cover his embarrassment.)

Teru always gets over his dislike for Akane's supernatural side relatively quickly, thinking Akane is amusing, and kind of cute, in a pathetic way, so he loves teasing him. Whenever Akane ogles his arms, Teru hugs Akane to 'tease him', even though he just likes hugging the unhinged boy. Which is nice for Teru and very nice for Akane, who I am pretty sure is at least a bit touch starved. 

So they start hugging and leaning on each other a lot more, Akane is very clingy. They exchange compliments and love declarations. Akane randomly goes "wait a minute! For how long have we dating?!!" on one of their routine cuddling, to which Teru laughs, cause he loves his stupid boyfriend.

1 and 28! For the fic asks! :D

Oh my gosh hi Milk! Thank you for the ask ^_^

1. Favorite fic you wrote this year

Maybe this will come as a surprise? I’m not sure, but my favourite fic to write has actually been Birds of a Feather! It was the first fic I wrote in some time without a beta-reader, because I had gotten a request from @erentii (aka: the Akane simp) and I wanted it to be a complete surprise to her <3

It’s also a clear show of how far I developed as a writer with her help, so that’s why that fic is my favourite one this year :D

2. Longest fic you read this year

Oh my gosh, by far the longest fic I’ve read has been Love Transcends! It was one of the first TBHK fics I ever read and it’s still one of my top favourites to this day-- it’s also the fic which inspired me to start writing fanfiction ^_^

Thanks again for the ask Milk!! These are really fun to answer aha XD

this zine looks really great and i'd love to apply but i have a lot of reservations about the mod team "having previous zine experience" and then not listing concrete examples of said experience anywhere. could you please list the zines that the mods have worked on and the role they played in moderating? thank you!

Suzu I don't have any modding experience, but I have a lot of beta reading experience Yu Nyx Spotlight: A TBHK zine (production & shipping) I had like to be a contributor more than a mod, so I have more contributing experiences than modding Soren Smash Zine, Persona Jeu De Cartes, Promare Tarot, Fe:3H Card Deck, Promare Ignite Zine, Persona Cookbook.
