hehe omg y/n who? i only know gigi :”)

but we can give y/n some love for nowwww

SO MATTSUN

uwu yeyyyyyy

we finally getting with mattsun babie!!!!!!!!

aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*cue mattsun brain rot*

also a lil disclaimer: i do not fully remember all the moments i’ve written for mattsun in ALL of my works so if i dont mention it, please PLEASE either message me about it so i can add it or excuse it :(

ogei ANYWAYS

really GOING INTO THE ROUTE THIS TIME

so we’ve done iwa, oiks, and kyo and last but certainly not least, matsukawa issei has finally arrived

there were definitely a lot of chemistry between you and him especially as you were constantly babied by him because of your naturally shorter height

lol but like everyone else is shorter than him tho

you were constantly treated with a cuter teasing and mattsun loved to pick you up all the time

sometimes, you would just be doing normal things like checking off something of the players in your clipboard

when mattsun would come up behind you and wrap his arms around your waist

that was kinda your signal that he wants you to hold him which means you turning around and jumping to his arms where you wrap your legs around his waist and he just holds you

mattsun usually snuggles his face to your neck while, with your arms around his shoulders, you continue to do your duties

at first, it definitely flustered you because you didnt think it would be appropriate to show that much affection in public especially to the team

but mattsun’s puppy eyes (which the others have never seen before by the way even makki) persuaded you

‘come on, y/n-chann,, even great players need to recharge too’

this boy does NOT LET GO THOUGH

he holds on to you and not once does he loosen his grip which prompts you to just stay there with a sigh

‘mattsun-san-’

‘no’

his protests would be muffled because where his face is and you cant help but turn red when he does this since his lips faintly brushes against your skin

ooooooo the boys hate that though

they hate the fact that youve become so accustomed to mattsun holding you and you would just brush it off like it was such a normal thing

like THEY WANT TO CARRY YOU TOO

especially iwa-chan but nahhhh this aint his story so he can move on

there was a part in the recent kuws that i mentioned about the photocards?

remember? granny inko and the cafe?

well, the whole story is this:

you and the team wanted to hang out outside of school and it was summer so the only time yall ever see each other is during practice but thats no fun

so they organized cough cough oikawa forced everyone to meet up at the mall for some ‘quality team bonding time’

originally you were against the idea bc duh this was summer vacation and you really want some peace and quiet and you time, yanno?

but again,

issei’s puppy eyes

CURSE HIM FOR HAVING SUCH BEAUTIFUL EYES

so you ended up going and you were kinda grumbly when you arrived but whew when you saw those boys

my GOD

you may be just their manager but you were a girl too

you know handsome boys when you see them

obviously the other girls in the mall thought so too because they kept staring at the small group and were whispering to themselves

even as you walked and passed some of them, you could make out what they were saying

‘oh my god those guys over there’

‘do you think theyre single?’

‘obviously not!’

‘well it wont hurt to ask, right?’

‘especially that tall one. his eyebrows could do some work but we can change that’

your eye twitched at that comment and you resisted the urge to smack her in the face for even finding a FLAW on your boy’s face

so you sucked in a sharp breath and confidently walked over to the boys, trying to ignore the heated stares the girls and the gays were giving you

it was makki who saw you and he brightened up at the sight of their adorable manager-chan

‘eyo y/n!’

oikawa brightened at this and he would’ve ran straight to you if iwa didnt grab the back of his shirt

STOP HE ISNT WEARING THAT HORENDOUS OUTFIT YOU HEAR ME? HES WEARING SOMETHING DIFFERENT OKAY?

you grinned at them and you naturally found your spot right next to issei, who wrapped an arm around you

his arm was tightly around your shoulder and you instinctively held on to his hoodie to which he noticed but didn’t say anything and just smiled

‘y/n-channn~~~~ come give me a huggie~’

tooru whined and you rolled your eyes

this boy may be a full adult already but his mind structure surely isnt

‘oikawa-san, we’re in public. please refrain from being childish’

he pouted but knew you werent really serious with your scolding

iwa had to herd everyone to the actual mall and they started talking about really weird and random stuff like a recent drama that happened in one store and the one kid who stole something from the other store

‘-was a really expensive shoe! the nerve!’

oikawa tutted and you chuckled

while the others were at the front and just chatting, you strayed behind with mattsun, who still kept you tightly beside him and made small talk with you

‘its really cute seeing you hold on, y/n’

he teased and you flushed but pouted at him

‘hm, you want me to let go then?’

he was quick to refuse but you just laughed and issei rolled his eyes at your silliness

‘as if i would let you go. dummy’

he chided

but he did it with a smile

the kind that every lovesick fool had

the kind that naturally appeared at the sight of a lover

the kind that you reflected

it was a really fun time except for when oikawa started whining and complaining about you and mattsun running off to do your own thing

‘WHAT ARE WE? THIRD WHEELS?!’

tooru accused and you were about to deny but mattsun cracked a smile

‘well, technically, you would be the eighth wheel’

STOP

YOU CACKLED

more like a laugh escaped you but you caught it and disguise it as a cough

kyo and iwa were red while oikawa was just fuming and demanding you to go with him

you couldnt help it

you wanted to hang out with mattsun a lot bc you knew he hasnt had the time to go do something else other than babysit his siblings and he has been down lately with his job and granny

I FORGOT TO MENTION

YOU KNOW GRANNY NOW

holup

get in loser we going on a flashback

FLASHBANG

*poof*

okay

so it was a weekend so there wasnt practice and you were just doing some errands like picking up more bandaids and some candy for natsu and such

but you did it without eating breakfast first so you were starved and you finished around noon

that caused you to go looking around to eat somewhere near

across the road from the shoe store (like a foot locker or sum like that), was a cute little restaurant

it wasnt a typical building and it stood out from the surrounding high rises of the city

the roof was shaped to look like a cottage and the door was quite literally

a front door

the kind you’d find in a normal cottage out in the country

the only thing distinguishing its identity as a restaurant was the sign board outside that mentioned its daily special

‘oooo f/f (favorite food)’

it immediately lured you in and you found yourself even knocking at the door before going in

the inside looked like a normal restaurant but it had a homey feel to it

especially with the grandma who stood at the small table in the front with a gentle smile and a menu

‘just one today, dear?’

she asked and you nodded, grinning

she led you to a table at the corner and told you to pick a drink while you look for food

‘you went shopping in this heat? my my’

you sheepishly smiled at her on top of the menu

‘im a manager of a sports team so i needed to restock on medical supplies’

granny immediately thought of issei as he played a sport and you going out to buy medical things made her heart warm

‘youre a good manager, dear. going out for them at the hottest day of the year’

man, that felt good

sure you were always told by the team how good you were and how much they appreciate you

but hearing it from some completely random stranger made you really really touched

‘well, we wouldnt want to be out of stock just in case someone is really injured’

granny clasped her hands

‘tell you what. you pick whatever drink you want and it’s free’

you started to refuse her and told her that it was fine but she waved you off

‘ill tell issei to take it off your bill so dont worry about it, dearie’

issei?

there are lots of other issei’s in the city so it couldnt be your issei

right?

so you brushed it off and decided that you werent going to win against the old woman and told her what you wanted

when you knew what you wanted to eat, you placed the menu down and looked around the interior of the place

there were pictures of what seemed to look like from years before as the lady in some of them looked like the granny

from pictures of famous people who came here to what looked like just complete strangers

they were all who decorated the walls

then

it caught your eye

a picture, maybe a table down on the right

looked like it could be mattsun

younger, definitely

but still mattsun

‘no way’

you mumbled and as you leaned forward to get a closer look, the granny returned to ask what you wanted

‘what can i get ya today, honey?’

before you could get your order out, you smiled up at her to ask the question

‘by any chance,,, do you, know matsukawa issei?’

you were fully expecting her to say no and continue on

but she lit up and nodded

‘mhm. why?’

you awkwardly laughed

‘oh. um, hes,, just a friend’

granny didnt believe that as she could easily tell what that laugh was but she shrugged it off

‘in fact, hes here right now. hes probably taking an order as we speak but when he comes by i can--- ISSEI!’

she shouted and you jumped

the people around you did too but issei didnt, instead smiling and trotting over

you stared at him, eyes tracing his figure at the sweat running down his exposed forearms and the black tee that stuck to him like second skin which accented his built body

there was redness in his cheeks and he was panting, maybe due to the heat or due to the running around

but

my god

he was beautiful

LAKJSFDLKFJS

HELP MATTSUN BRAIN ROT KICKING IN

it seemed you were too busy with your staring to hear granny as she had to snap you out of it

‘honey?’

you jumped and issei laughed, partly flustered with your stare but find it funny as this was just so you

‘granny, that’s y/n, shes my manager’

you bowed slightly to granny and she started wiggling her finger

as if to remember something

‘y/n,,,, y/n,,,, ive heard that name before’

she said and then came to peer at your face closely

you became self conscious under her stare but she pulled back with a surprise

‘ah! y/n! the one that issei talks about! the one on-!’

before she could finish, issei had the audacity to put his hand on her mouth to prevent her from saying anything else

‘granny’

he warned with gritted teeth but you laughed

‘its alright, mattsun-san. let her continue’

he playfully glared at you but apologized to granny

she gently whacked his arm

‘you need to follow my lead if you ever want her as your girlfriend, issei!’

she scolded which caused you and mattsun to turn red

‘granny, please’

he was starting to get flustered and you were too

thank god she noticed because she stopped then apologized before pushing her and issei back to hide away from you

you raised your hand not because you wanted to talk to issei

but you didnt get to order

dont worry! she came back to take your order but didnt talk anymore about issei

but she did finally start opening up later though

granny came over to give you your bill but noticed your staring at issei

‘oh, dear’

she giggled which made snap you out of it

‘oh!’

you said in surprise but she waved it off

‘youre not the first to do that so its okay, darling’

you sheepishly smiled

‘but issei’s a good looking young man, isn’t he? very much different to his younger self yet very much the same’

your heart became warm at the soft and gentle tone of this grandma

‘he would not be happy with me if i told you this so i will only tell you a fortune. here, have a fortune cookie’

as you broke it and read the message, a snort and a disbelieving gasp was all that came from you

inside

was a fortune

that said

‘the love of your life is right in front of your eyes’

SO YEA THAT WAS HOW YOU MET GRANNY

WE’RE BACK NOW TO PRESENT TIME

so you know granny now and you go visit as much as you can mainly to see her and talk to her but also to watch mattsun work and aksjflakds ugh hes just so hot

but you found out from mattsun that granny has been getting sick lately

this is making him worried and although you havent known her for a while, you noticed that issei is very close to her

she was like his own grandmother

so hearing that she wasnt doing good made you worried and obviously mattsun has been concerned for a while

this outing has helped you distract him from that and just focus on you and the team today

well,,,

mainly you

but we aint gonna talk about that

you and issei slipped away a lot from the others like going to a candle and scent shop or to a sports good store

but it didnt matter where you both went bc as long as you had each other, it would be fun

you were both currently at a clothing store that you randomly went in and were now picking clothing for each other

‘issei? can you look at me?’

he had a smile on his face mainly because you called him by his first name

you didnt even notice and was too busy looking between his body and the shirt

‘hmmm no too plain’

you continued looking at clothing but mattsun continued looking at you

god, call him by his first name again and he will go feral

like deadass stride over there and kiss you till youre out of breath type of feral

aklsdfjalksdjf

in the end, you both got clothing for each other and were told to try it on then come out when youre ready

you stood behind the curtain, giggling

‘okay, mattsun-san! on 3! 2! 1!’

you pulled back the curtain and issei stared at you, eyes glued on you

his taste in clothing may be incredible

but you

you made it better

you made those clothes look like they were honored to be worn by you

you were just so

wow

you felt small under his stare and twirled around

‘so? how do i look?’

he didnt respond, instead slowly stepping forward

and forward

and you didnt move

until he was right in front of you with the tips of his toes touching yours

his tall height made him have to bend down to look at you but you had no problem in looking up at him

there were no words exchanged

just passionate eyes clashing with each other

you really were about to just kiss then there

BUT

THERES ALWAYS A BUT

kindaichi shouted for your name at the end of the hallway of dressing rooms

‘Y/N! THERE YOU ARE!’

ngl, mattsun seemed irritated

you watched as he closed his eyes and looked away to clench his jaw

you giggled and pushed some hair behind his ear

‘youre cute’

mans switched up so fast and he smiled softly

‘no you’

help kindaichi is just like -_-

you guys ended up paying for the clothes and finally went to go and meet up with the othersd

kindaichi was all red in the fact after he realized that he interrupted an,,,, intimate,, moment and stayed away from mattsun after he got glared at aldkfjd

the team didnt really say anything else as everyone d i d go on their own ways and do their own shopping

there was one time that kyo did try to whisk you away but like this aint his route and uwu if you want to read his, its right here

it must’ve been a few hours since yall arrived so everyone has been wanting to go and grab something to eat

since the mall was kinda like half outdoor and half indoor, you and the guys were walking outside to see the different restaurants

while laughing and talking down a sidewalk, oikawa gasped suddenly

duh everyone halted and looked around

‘what’

iwa asked and oikawa pointed at the sky

‘look! sunset!’

tooru loves sunsets and just the sky period so he was wanting to get a picture of the sky for his ‘collection’

everyone ended up having an impromptu photoshoot with yall having pictures with each other to mark this memory

thank god akira brought his polaroid

cry for his film

you asked for a turn in the camera and excitedly ran over to mattsun after taking a picture with yahaba

‘issei! lets take a picture!’

he detangled himself from makki’s arm and came over to you

‘sure sure’

issei was smiling and you happily asked makki to take the picture for you

‘how do you want me, babygirl’

you thought about it before gesturing to mattsun’s back

‘imma jump! can i jump?’

he giggled cute and nodded

‘cmere’

you squealed when he pretended to drop you but his strong hands were firm on your thighs

he made you feel safe

your arms were wrapped around his neck and makki counted down

‘3!’

‘2!’

‘1!’

*chick*

you asked for one more for you so therefore you guys had one polaroid each

‘thank you!!’

you thanked makki for his service while mattsun stared lovingly at the picture

you were smiling so wide

and so happily

his face was equal to yours and the background completed the polaroid

truly a moment captured in camera

i think that mattsun definitely was in love with you but he didnt really realize it immediately or have that ‘oh shit!’ moment bc,,,

i dunno

hes weird like that

so it def took him a while to understand

but he understood it during that one time

referenced in manager!seijoh part 5

you were both left in the gym to clean up bc everyone had something to do like oiks had to go home bc takeru got sick and iwa also got sick and you just volunteered to clean up and mattsun stayed behind

you were sweeping the floor and you unconsciously started humming as you swept and started swaying a little

mattsun heard you as he pushed the carts and watched as you just swayed and twirled around and he found himself smiling at you

you noticed him stop in front of you and he bowed down, holding out a hand

‘may i take this dance, m’lady’

you laughed

‘what? whats going on?’

he softly held your hand and pulled you to him

‘you were dancing and i wanted to join you’

you nodded and looked up at him, eyes half-lidded

‘stand on my feet, chibi-chan. i can lead while you sing’

it was a random song you heard from the radio earlier but you complied while he moved with your feet on his

you giggled when he would lean down to softly kiss your forehead and shriek when he would unexpectedly dip you down

either way, at 8:34 PM, you and mattsun danced under the gym lights with no witness except you and him

issei laid on his bed that night, thinking about you and the possibilities of a future with you

your pretty smile

that adorable thing you do when youre nervous

or the struggle that shows in your face whenever you hid your excitement

gosh, he would love for your child to have that smile

alkjfdlkafk

mattsun suddenly sat up on bed, furiously blushing and beet red at that thought

of course, it made him confused at why he was thinking of you like that and in that way but as he thought about it some more,,,

he didnt think that wouldnt be a bad idea

it actually sounded nice

having a small family in a small house, dogs running around your feet, sunday morning pancake rituals, wednesday movie nights that the kids would fight over

gosh

then he was like, maybe,,,

i like that

is that normal?

is it normal to think about that stuff with your friend, even liking it?

lol mattsun darling, you like her

thats how he came to his predicament with unsure feelings

he was in no way denying it or anything

but he was confused

mattsun is the type of guy that wants to be sure and get his shit sorted out and put together before involving you because he doesnt want to just suddenly be unsure and hurt you

he went to granny

he has like 5 year old siblings so he couldnt just ask them for help

OH RIGHT HE HAS SIBLINGS

okay so lemme go back to granny

he came into work that early morning with eyebags on his face which made granny worry so she pulled him to break room to talk to him

mattsun kept telling her he was fine but she gently hit his arm to look at her

‘look at that! ‘sei! youre not alright! please, if you can, talk to me? hm?’

help i love granny

issei sighed

‘theres this girl. her name’s y/n and,,, i dont know what to do’

he mumbled and granny hummed

‘i was right. you have woman troubles, sei?’

he nodded

‘i like her, like a lot, but i dont know if i love her. i dont even know what love is, im too young to really know it so i cant surely and fully say i love her when i dont understand the meaning. and say i do something about my feelings. what then? we date? but i dont want to date just because i like her and wait it out until that feeling fades away. i want to seriously be with her but i dont know if im ready for that yet- wait, no i think i a m ready but i don’t think im capable to love someone as good as her’

granny felt sad for issei as long ago, she did have trouble with her feelings and knows exactly the struggles of self-worth compared to someone she was in love with

‘you know, sei, no one truly knows how to love’

mattsun’s eyes moved from the floor to granny’s kind smile

‘we all learn as we go and sure, we make mistakes. but sticking together and going through it together is what makes it love. no matter what age or gender, as long as someone has been shown and given love, it’s only natural for that to be reciprocated. love doesnt need to be understood, love needed to be felt’

my god socrates who?

she shakily patted his head even though he had to bend slightly

‘as for being ready and being capable, you never know until you try. no amount of preparation is going to help you unless you actually do it. a child would never learn how to walk if they don’t lunge for those first steps. and besides, this girl, miss y/n, would be grateful to have someone like you either way. you may not see your own goodness but everyone else does, remember that’

so in a way, granny was who made issei realize

she was right

love didnt need to be understood

love needed to be felt

and he did

he felt love with you

he felt love for you

he may have not realized it then, but dancing in the middle of the gym floor, no music but your humming, he felt peace

peace

love

love was peace

no,

love is peace

love is home

he felt home

with you

after that, issei couldnt stop being away from you

no matter where and what, he was always there and you loved spending every moment with him

you were grateful for his presence as he was the only one who made you feel a sense of peace amidst the chaos of the team

and thus created a deeper bond

even at the earliest buttcrack of the morning,

you would be with issei

like when he couldnt sleep and everyone else in the house is, he would sneak out and go over to yours

you were up late, just laying there because you had a feeling that told you to stay awake

and that feeling was right

because your phone dinged and it was a text from mattsun

ma(tt)sun: baby bear, come down <3

you sat up quickly, grinning because you always loved being with him

mattsun made you feel safe

he was someone who didnt hesitate to offer his help and brought you back down when you started feeling out of sync with reality

he was just different from everyone else

maybe thats why you really liked him

you tip-toed out of your house and in a hoodie and sweatpants with disheveled hair, you ran to meet mattsun by your gate

help natsu is standing by the window with a mug of coffee bc your feet creaks the entire house awake

mattsun stared at you as you ran to him with your wide smile and rugged appearance

was it your hair?

a new style?

or a new hoodie?

or was it just because you were smiling?

or was it your bright eyes?

something made you extra beautiful tonight

‘hey hey’

you quietly greeted and he grinned, wrapping an arm around your shoulders

instantly, you burrowed into his chest and mattsun felt his heart beating faster

your perfume filled his nostrils

wow

he loves that smell

you both stood there, just embracing each other until a sudden chill of wind broke you apart

‘whats up, mattsun-san?’

you asked and he peered down at you

‘i had an intuition. ramen, ramen, ramen, ramen,,,, telepathy thing, remember?’

he joked and you laughed

‘yes. you were right, mattsun-san’

‘so lets go? the shop’s closed but the convenience store isnt’

so you both ate a cup ramen in 3 in the morning at a corner store

you both couldnt stop laughing and giggling and passerbys may think yall were drunk

‘hey, call me by my first name’

mattsun asked and you nodded

‘okay. issei?’

sure hes heard it before at the time in the mall where you subconsciously called him that but you actually knowingly calling him by his first name made his entire body warm up

‘u-uh, actually, maybe not, maybe dont. dont call me that’

he stuttered, suddenly feeling shy and watching as he stirred his soup around

you laughed

‘issei? issei? issei?’

you were feeling really playful tonight, maybe because of the late food or food drunkenness but you were teasing him

you even stood up and getting all up on his face, calling him by his first name because you knew how he reacted to it

‘issei? issei? issei! isse-’

you froze

he was

oh my god

what

he was

Y/N WHAT WAS HE DOING

here he was

at let’s see,,,,,

3:14? 3:14 and 25 seconds?

at 3:14:25 AM on a tuesday morning, matsukawa issei kissed you for the first time

‘i told you to not call me that, didnt i? bad girl’

HELP IMMA CRY

OKAY BYE

lets just say it was awkward

like really really

awkward

we not going to talk about how you literally malfunctioned and left him alone there since you ran all the way back home

natsu was watching tv at the living room bc he couldnt sleep but just as he was nodding off, the door loudly slammed shut

this boy fell off the couch, startled, and was about to run when he saw you, darting in to the living room

he watched you pace back and forth with your hand over your mouth

your face was really really red and your ears could be blowing steam right now

and your eyes were blown wide and he was really worried

natsu scrambled off the floor and grabbed you with hands on your arms

‘did he hurt you? that guy earlier. tell me right now, did he hurt you? touch you? i will kill him, just tell me whats wrong, dont worry i know where to hide his body just tell me and we’ll handle it ourselves, okay? so-’

he rambled but you waved your hands

‘no! no! god no! isse-no, mattsun! mattsun would never!’

you shrieked

girl please, your parentals are tryna sleep

no but they really are still asleep how the heck-

‘so whats wrong? why did you come in here looking like this?’

natsu furrowed his eyebrows and you quickly tried to calm him down

‘theres nothing wrong! really! well,, something did happen, bUT! nothing bad happened! i swear!’

he didnt quite believe you but if something happened, you would be sobbing right now so at least he was assured you werent taken advantaged of

mans thought he finally had a use for his baseball bat

too bad

in a few hours was school and you contemplated on how to face mattsun

the entire time you were getting ready, you were worried on what to do

should you avoid him?

talk to him?

pretend nothing happened?

well,,,

thats what he did

just as you were about to talk to him, issei walked up to you like nothing happened

‘y/n-chan!’

he grinned and you awkwardly smiled and waved

was he acting like nothing happened?

‘mattsun-san, about what happened earlier-’

‘hm? nothing happened, though?’

help why is he like this

you stopped

okay

sure we can continue like that

so you did

you smiled at him and waved it off

‘oh um, nothing! nothing at all!’

oh no

mattsun was sweating buckets

he fully intended on talking to you and sorting it out today but he panicked and just took plan d

he skipped plan a, b, and c

he went straight to d

wait

no nvm thats not appropriate alkdfjalsdkfj

mattsun was scared

he was scared of what you would say and outright reject him

he knew it was impulsive and shouldnt have happened but he didnt regret it

but he would start to regret it if you would directly turn him down and he really cannot handle that emotionally

and then the friendship would become awkward bc now you know he likes you and you would start to overthink and you would become uncomfortable with each other so you guys would drift away and the team would start asking questions and now it would be awkward around them too and aaaaaa

disclaimer: this is matsukawa issei’s brain

so if acting like nothing happened would do it, then he will

it was going good

everything felt normal and you guys were as close as before

late night ramen runs were still happening and you still stuck around him as much

and then it happened

it was during a movie night hang out with the team at iwa’s house bc everyone goes to iwa’s house akdjlkf

you and the team were scattered around the living room but naturally, you were next to issei on the couch

it started from 2 pm to what was now nearing 11 pm

this time, it was oikawa’s turn to pick the movie as he finally won rock paper scissors

of course, my mans oikawa chose a rom com but it had a sad ending

“Always Be My Maybe”

it was a movie about childhood best friends who suffer from skinny love and desperately trying to show each other that theyre in love with the other but their insecurities and doubt drove them apart into a new lover’s arms

help i just came up with this movie and the one i looked up online didnt really fit into the plot but like i dunno i havent watched it kadsjfl

‘kawa, why are we watching a sad movie?’

iwa grumbled but he pushed the play button anyways

‘well,, i think its a movie we can all learn from’

no because oikawa is trying to help mattsun and you since he is tired of the constant longing stares

oikawa totally knows that’s self-subotaging but hes not ready for that conversation

ngl, for a team of grown men, you would doubt a rom com/sad movie wouldnt move them but by the end, as the two lovers met a decade later and walked away for the final time towards their respective partners, everyone bawled

‘noooo!!!!!!’

oikawa cried, glomping himself to iwa’s shoulder, who was sniffling and wiping his tears with the collar of his shirt and patting his friend’s back

everyone else was sobbing and you were no better

mattsun wasnt hardcore crying but he did have a few tears slip

with all the crying, you felt your throat getting dry so you stood up

‘i-imma go and get water’

you excused yourself and quickly ran out to the kitchen

god why were you crying this hard?

youve literally watched hachi yet you didnt cry this hard

but why with this one?

were the actors that good?

the plot?

or was it because of how similar your situation was?

being desperately in love with your best friend?

and him throwing the only opportunity for you to tell him?

you hunched over the sink and you hiccuped, trying to desperately wipe away the tears and practicing how to get your breathing even

while you were in your dilemma in the kitchen, mattsun stared at your spot next to him

that movie, he definitely knew oikawa was up to something

but he would think about that later

right now, he was too busy freaking out

that movie was like a wake up call for him

all that overthinking and avoiding the subject and self-depricating thoughts of denial of why you would love someone like him

if he didnt do something, that could be him to you

sure the circumstances werent the same as he was the only one pining wrong but either way he didnt want that

that movie was like a prediction or a glimpse of his future

watching you in the arms of someone else, maybe a family

the little girl that was supposed to have his messy wild hair and your eyes

were now morphing into someone else

the someone else who was man enough to even ask you out for coffee

and snatched your heart right under his nose

that thoroughly scared him which caused him to stand up quickly, scaring kindaichi who was next to his feet

issei maneuvered himself towards the kitchen with the only thought in his head

be. honest.

he found you hunched over the sink, gripping the sides

his heart reached out to you

‘y-y/n? um, i have something to say-to tell you’

he fumbled

you jumped at his voice and frantically tried to calm yourself

you awkwardly laughed

‘w-what is it, mattsun? im literally sobbing on a sink right now, can it wait until im mentally stable-’

‘no. i-i need to say it now. or ill chicken out’

you turned around and the sight of him made more tears spring up

‘well? say it’

you encouraged and he took a deep breath

love is peace.

love is home.

if he wants you, he needs to say it now

‘i dont know,, i dont know how to say this in a way that makes sense but-um-i like you. wait-! like! i like you, a lot. like the kind that,, im in love. im in love with you, i love you and everything about you, even that thing you do while you eat bUT thats besides the point!’

he rambled and you started rapidly gasping for air because oh my god

this was it

he was confessing

he took a step forward and you made no move to stop him

he looked into your eyes

‘youre the sun in my galaxy and the peaceful home of my world. i cant lose you to somebody else like that lady, i just cant. even if i get rejected, i want to go knowing i tried my best. i dont want to look back on this and think about the what ifs or the maybes. i cant let you be my maybe, y/n. so if you’ll have me, i will tell you everyday that everything i feel about you, i havent felt before. but its good. its the best feeling. i dont understand it or have a meaning to it but i dont care. because you make me feel happy, safe, peaceful. i may not be able to give you the world but i will spend every day of my life trying. because i love you.

i love you, l/n y/n’

HELP IM CRYING BYE

you were shocked

his words made you lose grip on what was true and what was fantasy

you spent hours late at night, imagining him say that he loved you

and now it was happening, because of some movie oikawa put on

so you start laughing both in joy and relief

god the things you want to say

but you cant

because you were too happy and too excited to interrupt this moment

however

issei interpreted this as you rejecting him

he thought you were surprised and shocked, maybe even scared

issei was starting to get embarrassed bc you were laughing so you must be laughing at him and how stupid he sounded

that split second of bravery was now gone as his fear was back

but this time, in ultimate mode

he couldnt even say anything else so he was about to turn and run

but you sensed him about to run away

so you grabbed the first thing you could

his sweatpants string pulled him straight to you and this time, you kissed him

his eyes were wide and he really felt like he was now slipping into hallucinations

wasnt this part of the stages of grief?

but no

the softness of your lips

the warmth pressed against his own

the arms around his neck and the waist his arms were around

they all felt so real

because maybe

it is real

maybe, you feel the same way

maybe, his feelings were reciprocated

maybe,

just maybe,

you loved him too

oikawa and the team were peaking over the couch and they were all both crying and celebrating because finally

you guys were together

but that meant you werent theirs anymore

oikawa patted himself on the back because once again,

oikawa tooru saves the day

they all pretended to be surprised when you guys announced your relationship

like the surprised dude in that one painting

the scream, i think

ALSO

GRANNY

oh my gosh she was so happy

you finally came back to the cafe but this time with issei

she was wiping the counter and was about to greet a customer when you walked in, with issei’s arm around your shoulders

‘issei’

she whispered

‘hey, baa-chan’

he greeted and you bowed slightly

she rushed to greet you both at the front

‘youre supposed on your day off’

she mumbled but issei shrugged

‘we wanted to tell you first’

he grinned shyly

you shook her hand but granny pulled you into her arms

‘you are now my family!’

she exclaimed, squeezing you

she may be 80 something old but that lady still has arms of steel

‘take care of him, darling’

she whispered to your ear as she hugged you

‘i will, i promise’

granny rushed to seat you both and she pulled out a chair

‘oh i am so happy!’

you felt happy too

granny was someone important to issei, even more than his own parents as he quickly took you to meet granny again

‘thank you so much, baa-san’

you thanked and she waved it off

‘please! if anything, i should thank you! he really scored a pretty one, didnt he? my gosh, im so relieved. i have been worried issei wouldnt find a girlfriend because hes too busy working or fussing over me!’

issei stood up

‘reminds me, baa-chan. it’s noon. ill get your arthritis meds’

he just wanted to rush out of there

once he was gone, granny leaned close

‘i have known issei since he was only 14. he wanted to work and i gave him a spot but that little boy refused to leave until i had to kick him out! he dedicates himself into things that he finds most valuable. in all my years knowing him, he has never been so dedicated to anything until he met you, y/n’

she whispered but you felt shy

she was telling you everything

‘he’s practically my grandchild. i was so worried, that he would put everyone else before himself but you are the one that made him think about himself, for a change. that poor boy came to me not knowing what he was feeling because it’s the first time issei really asked himself what he wanted. and he has found that he wants to be with you and he loves you. he loves you more than his mind can really process. so im thankful for you, y/n. youre really, really important to issei and i wish you all the beautiful and hope-filled years to come’

you felt tears pricking your eyes as she bowed a little

‘though i have a favor’

she asked and you nodded

‘anything’

‘make my issei smile, hm? no matter what, protect that smile and make sure he never loses it’

we’re not gonna discuss about granny’s age and her death bc we dont do sad stuff in this one so we’re gonna pretend she lives forever, okay?

SO ONWARDS TO TIMESKIP

as usual, this is around olympics era timeskip

so thats like 9 years?

you and issei have been married since you graduated high school because this guy cannot wait

he waited 3 years he cannot wait any longer

so now, you guys got a little family

issei was over the moon when you both had a girl bc it was the little girl he thought about having with you

then a son

and later, you are expecting another one

help why is y/n always pregnant in the routes what

except for kawa’s

in one of them

lol ;)

so back to olympics

you and issei held tightly to a child since there were so many people in the stadium

there were pictures everywhere and posters of the players but mainly team japan

himari was tightly clutching issei’s hand as the 9-year-old was unfamiliar to such crowded places

you later decided it was a bad idea to bring a newborn to something as chaotic as the games but didnt make that decision until you were already at the stadium

so you tightly held hiroto on the baby chest carrier thing

he was only 3 months old so he was still as his sleeping phase but he was the kind that refused to wake up no matter how noisy it was

so you were lucky there

‘ah, where is everyone? iwa told us to meet him here’

mattsun mumbled and you rubbed his arm

‘he’s probably lost in the sea of people like we are, sei’

he hmphed until himari gasped

‘uncle kawa!’

she pointed ahead and there he was, oikawa tooru with his blue san juan jersey

the man towered over a lot of people and his short brown hair jumped with each step

‘mari-chan! toto-chan! mattsun! y/n-chan!’

he shouted and you smiled while mattsun glared at him

‘god, youre still so loud, oikawa’

he complained and tooru was about to complain when mari stomped on her dad’s foot

‘kawa is not loud, papa. he has to shout because it’s so noisy’

she defended and oikawa had a smug look

‘as expected of my darling, goddaughter’

he praised and raised her to his arms

mattsun turned to look at you

‘why couldnt makki have been her godfather instead?’

‘hey!’

offended, oikawa whined but he was cut off with a hand to his head

the only person who would do that was

‘iwa-san!’

you exclaimed and he grinned, going to give you a hug but he noticed the baby on your chest

‘oops. little man on the way, here’

iwa gave you an awkward yet warm hug

‘wheres the others?’

mattsun asked and iwa jutted his head to the side

‘already at the cafe. what took you guys so long?’

mattsun rolled his eyes but grinned

‘its not like y/n just popped out a baby from her va-’

‘issei, say another word and youre going to be in one of your coffins’

you threatened, a smile on your face while fixing your son’s wild curly hair

‘ah, y/n-chan still has her tongue’

the others cheered when you arrived and makki made a beeline towards the hiroto

‘oh! hiro-kun!’

he sang but you placed a finger to your lips

‘oh, hes asleep?’

you nodded

makki hunched over his head and poked the exposed nose

‘hello, hiro-kun’

he whispered

nononononono i cannot be getting soft for hanamaki takahiro right now

hiro sensed that his godfather was near because he shifted and raised one eye open

you softly smiled and gently pulled him out of his carrier

‘wanna go to takahiro?’

not you and issei naming your son after makki because you knew makki probably wouldnt get married and your son is his only chance of fulfilling his dream of having a son named after him

you and others caught up with each other as everyone was now in different parts of the country or even the world

kyo was now a completely different person from before as he was even playing with mari and oikawa was making grabby hands at the other baby

‘makki!!! my turn!!!’

makki glared at him before sighing

‘okay. you go to tooru now, hm?’

he placed the baby bottle down on the table and got up to go over to where tooru sat so he could give away the baby

‘he just ate so hold him like this, oikawa’

he taught oikawa how to hold the baby but oiks pouted

‘you know i stayed with y/n-chan and mattsun when mari was born? so i know how to hold a baby, makki-!’

‘*bleh*’

everyone stopped as hiroto made a burp sound shortly followed with a slightly disgusting sound

tooru froze, hands still on the baby’s bottom and back

his eyes twitched and you and issei huddled to keep your giggles in

‘did he-’

‘yep’

iwa grimaced as he looked over to his friend’s shoulder

the expensive and premium jersey

now stained with baby throw up

‘hey, at least he didnt-’

as kindaichi started, there was a foul smell that engulfed the area

there on tooru’s right hand, was a stinky baby butt

was he

holding

a dirty diaper

right now?

oikawa screamed

a/n: help i have started going to the gym and its so hard but i keep thinking about iwa being a physical trainer and im just like, ‘well, i gotta pretend iwa is here and look good’, please thats the only way im able to push myself during that 20 minutes on the treadmill

ALSO THANK YOU SO MUCH DANGO ANON OR KNOWN AS @fushigurohearts FOR GIVING ME SO MANY IDEAS AND LORE AND I JUST LOVE YOU BAE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING

little one / daisuke kambe

and to those who are saying i should add read more to my long fics, i really want to but i don't have a laptop or computer. i write everything on my phone, on the tumblr app. so if you know how to add read more in posts using the app, then please do dm me. thank chu💛

requested by anon: one where daisuke and reader have a two year old son together? lots of fluff

UNEDITED

Your palm concealed your amused lips, a snort emanating from your wrinkled nose as you took in the sight before you.

Kambe Daisuke was a man of little words and little expressions, and even now, after being married to you for four years and having a son who was now at the age of two, that has not changed. He was still the stoic and cool detective millionaire you have met many years ago - which is exactly what makes the unfolding scene before you much more hilarious.

Monotonous Daisuke, the same man you had seen take down criminals twice his size, was haphazardly sprawled on your carpeted ground, arms and legs outstretched, cheek pressed flat against the material of the carpet as a smaller and cuter carbon copy of him perched comfortably on his back, oblivious to the position he had set his father on, doing nothing but lie down on his father's back and sleep soundly, eyes closed, snoring and wearing such an adorable sleeping face that it was difficult not to coo.

The sight alone was already adorably hilarious, but seeing the genuine distress on Daisuke's face had you doubling over, your palm muffling your laughter.

"Look at you," You whispered at him by the doorframe, your knees bent and your other hand sliding along the frame of the door. "You look so dumb, Daisuke."

"I'm happy at least you find this amusing, but I do not." Your husband responded back in an ired puff, azure eyes glaring at you from the floor. It took all of you not to swoon.

"Don't look at me like that, my love. I can't take you seriously when our son is using you as a mattress." Daisuke's glare intensified, but as your previous statement suggested, all purpose of threat was dulled by the position he was in. "How did you even get yourself in this situation?"

"I find it unnecessary to tell you." Answered Daisuke, and from how his cheeks tinged red, you could only assume it was something embarassing. "Will you help me, love? Take Kakeru off of my back."

You shifted your gaze back to your slumbering son, and a fond smile sprouted on your brims.

Sometimes you wonder how you were even able to make this precious, big eyed, nuzzling baby. He was an exact copy of Daisuke, not a single hint of your genes. Blank face, quiet, raven hair, blue eyes, the little shine in his eyes whenever he saw you - it was like seeing Daisuke when he was a child, and it was because of this fact that you were at least feeling a little bit alright with your son having no semblance with you.

"Kakeru," You whispered to your son as you stepped closer to your best boys with quiet footfalls, and he scrunched his face ay the brief interruption of your cooing voice. You stopped yourself from squishing his cute little face, and knelt down beside them. "Kake -"

Your sentence was cut off when you felt a hand under your knee. Immediately, Daisuke retracted his hand away, hurling your way a soft glare. "Watch where your knee is going."

You chuckled at his dilemma and reached down to stroke his head. "Mattresses don't talk, Daisuke."

"Normal people don't talk to mattresses." Countered Daisuke, huffing and averting his gaze away from you. You stifled your laughter as his pout grew more prominent. It might be very obvious already with how Daisuke has everything handed over to him with a single breath, but your husband absolutely hated losing in any forms ; even in your daily banter, he must always have the last word. People often mistakenly thought that you, being his darling wife that he had persistently courted for a whole year, would be exempted to this childish pettiness you consistently deny her allegations, firmly believing you were receiving the worse end of it. This man cannot forget the times you have successfully reigned victory over his own game, months or weeks, it never failed to be permanently ingrained in his mind ; and this resulted to puzzling moments which goes by a chronological sequence - a relatively normal day, an opportunity to divulge the opening you have unknowingly presented before his feet, and then comes his last word, to which he will remind you as your confused face stared back at him when his out of the blue statement has originally birthed from.

However, there was only one person who could defeat him at that, would never let him get the last word and that is your son Kakeru. As you stared at his sleeping face, you cannot help but smile as you reminiscent that particular day.

***

Haru Kato has been invited to your house to meet Kambe Kakeru. Daisuke has been mildly cross with Haru meeting his son because he was petty and said that Kakeru needed no other man than him but seeing that Daisuke has become good friends with Haru in the two years they were partners, you insisted that he meets him. It was already unfair that Haru had to wait until Kakeru was two to meet him, the first and last time he saw him being after you had given birth (Daisuke only let him have a glimpse then pushed him out of the hospital room because he doesn't want Kakeru thinking he was his father).

"Kakeru," You chided as you crouched beside your son who was hiding behind Daisuke's legs and peering at the gray haired male, eyes curious yet cautious. "Don't you want to meet Uncle Haru?"

Haru stepped closer to the three of you, bent down near Kakeru's height, and outstretched his hand for him to shake. "Hey there, Kakeru." Haru greeted with a smile.

Kakeru recoiled and hid himself further behind Daisuke, hands around his pants tightening. "Daddy," He whimpered. "Bad man."

Haru's face fell at the enunciation, and you covered your mouth to keep yourself from laughing. Daisuke stared blankly at Haru as his hand travelled behind his back to stroke Kakeru's head. "You heard my son. Get out of here, bad man." Daisuke uttered his command.

A tick mark appeared on Haru's forehead at Daisuke's vocalization and before things could escalate out of the power of your responsibility, you interjected, regaiming your proper posture and clasping your hands together. "Kakeru is just wary of Haru because this is the first time he's seeing him, no need to fight." You told them off.

"No, Haru is just naturally scary." Daisuke stated with bantering finality.

"This is coming from a man who barely smiles." Argued Haru, scowling.

"And this is coming from someone who seems to be making a living screaming at me." Countered Daisuke.

Kakeru's eyes widened at what his father had said and shot Haru a small glare, yet his stance never wavered from its hiding place. "He screams at daddy . . . " Murmured Kakeru in a thoughtful trance, and pointed at Haru, shocking all three of you. "D-Don't scream at daddy again!"

Alarm made its way to Haru's facr at the accusation. "No, I have not once yelled at your dad - "

Daisuke turned around and knelt in front of Kakeru. Daisuke stared into his son's eyes and Kakeru stared back. "Don't listen to him, Kakeru. You should never listen to him, never ever. He makes daddy get all angry when we're doing police missions together."

"O-Oi," Haru inserted, fuming. "You're the one who always makes me mad! Don't turn the child on me!"

But Kakeru was not listening to Haru, as his beloved father has told him. Kakeru nodded firmly, lips curling. "Yes, daddy." He vouched in determination.

"Daisuke, stop it." You chastised, sighing and turned to the other detective that was not using your son to his advantage. "Sorry about this, Haru. Kakeru really looks up to Daisuke so he does anything he tells him to."

Kakeru, all of a sudden, began trotting away from the three of you, leaving all of you confused. After a few minutes, Kakeru returned, a determined look on his face.

"Kakeru, sweetheart, where did you go?" You asked as you approached him. "It's rude to leave our guest hanging, you know."

"Fight bad man," You and Haru gasped in horror when your son suddenly brandished a gun to Haru, not just a toy, but a real one. His tiny hands trembled as he was not used to the weight of the metal weapon burdening his grasp, and he was still glaring at Haru. "I pew pew bad guy, mommy, like daddy do with bad guys!"

"Kakeru, where did you get that gun?" You questioned, alarmed and and genuinely frightened. You looked to your husband to assess his reaction, but much to your mortification, Daisuke looked calm as he always is, as if your son wasn't capable of hurting a person as of the moment. "Daisuke, what the hell?"

You let out a yelp when Kakeru turned to you, and in the process, turned the gun to you. "Bad word, Mommy." He scolded. "I don't like."

Daisuke drawled. "It's not a big deal."

Haru growled. "Your son has a weapon! How are you not freaking out?" He then turned to Kakeru and extended his hand. "Give me the gun, Kakeru. Give it."

But Kakeru shook his head defiantly. "No!"

Daisuke frowned at his wife and his partner. "Why are you making a big fuss about this?" He questioned. "It's unloaded and the safety is on."

At the mention of those, you and Haru felt a brief sense of relief until Haru spoke out, "Just because it's unloaded doesn't mean it's okay!"

"It's basically a toy." Retorted Daisuke.

You walked towards your husband and pulled at his ear. His face did not at all change, seemingly expecting this reaction from you. "Daisuke, where did he even get the gun? Has one of yours been just lying around his reach?" This concerned you. If your son was able to get a weapon easily, what more is your husband letting him get?

"I gave him one." Answered Daisuke.

"And why would you give our two year old a gun?" You snapped at him.

"Kakeru said he wanted to hold a gun. Just like you, I said no." Daisuke glanced over at Kakery who was watching the three of you curiously. "However - " He turned back to you, and looked away. " - he's too adorable, as you might say."

You and Haru, in unison, slapped your hands to your forehead, exasperated with Daisuke's response.

"Kakeru probably looked sad when Daisuke said no." Haru remarked. "I can't blame him to be honest."

"He's spoiling him in ways too many." You added, and removed your hand from your forehead. "Daisuke, I know you love our son and pampering him but he can't just have a gun."

"Why, mommy?" You all looked at Kakeru, and immediately understood why Daisuke was forced to give him an unloaded gun. "Not love me?"

"A-Ah," You shrieked, horrified. "The secret move!"

Haru gulps. "This boy knows a little too much about his abilities."

"Even if it doesn't have any bullets?" Daisuked asked you.

You hurtled him a glower. "Even if it doesn't have any bullets and yes, even if it has the safety lock on." You immediately added when you saw Daisuke open his mouth.

Said man huffed. "Fine. If I knew you were going to react like this, I wouldn't have done it."

You and Haru watched as Daisuke knelt down in front of your son. Kakeru stared at his father, eyes wide and admiring. Daisuke lets out a sigh and extended his palm, "Give."

Kakeru shook his head vigorously, and his face scrunched as if he was going to cry but was trying to suppress it. "Daddy no love me too?"

You waited for what Daisuke would do, but he did not move. More seconds has passed, and he was yet to move. You and Haru exchanged glances before you moved over to him, checking him out. "Daisuke, love, what - Daisuke?"

A torn man was what Daisuke coukd be called at that moment. His face was deadpanned, but being with him longer than anyone else, you were able to pick up the small difference his expression held right now.

"U-Uh, Daisuke, are you okay?" You questioned in a form of a titter, eyebrows connected. "Daisuke?"

Haru walked over to Daisuke and leaned to look at him. "A-Ah, he looks like he's suffering."

"No, no," Denied Daisuke, frown deepening as he tried not to fall for his son's adorable trap. "Daddy loves you. But mommy and I agreed that you can't have that kind of toy, Kakeru."

"But," You all drew in a breath Kakeru hugged the gun to his chest, tears prodding the corners of his eyes. "My favorite toy is this."

"But why that, baby?" You asked softly. "You have so many other toys. Why that one?" You recalled the heaping amount of toys Daisuke bought for Kakeru.

Kakeru pouted, cheeks puffing. You couldn't help but imagine little Daisuke like that. "Because Daddy gave me this." Said Kakeru. "I want to be police, like daddy."

Daisuke turned to you, the internal struggle in his eyes prominent but you shook your head at him. Your husband sighed and looked at Kakeru again. He put his hand on top his head and ruffled his hair. Kakeru closed his eyes at the affection, welcoming it and his rigid frame loosening. Kakeru opened his eyes and let out a small noise of surprise as Daisuke wiped a stray tear from his cheek.

From what you can deduce, you knew Daisuke was about to say something brilliant to your son, to teach him something valuable. But before Daisuke could even open his mouth, Haru cut him off -

"A gun doesn't make a cop, Kakeru. It's the sense of justice to do the right thing and keeping people safe does." Haru then proceeded to take out his badge and handing it to Kakeru with a large smile on his face. "You can borrow this for a while, while I'm still here. As much as I want to give it to you, I need it to do my job as a cop. But maybe in the future, you can get one of your own. You'll be just like your dad."

You were impressed by what Haru had said, but Kakeru - his eyes were wide and glittering with admiration as he stared at Haru, all fear of the bad man gone. You swear that there was light all around Haru if you're ever seeing through Kakeru's eyes. But one member of the group disliked this mild change, and it was your irritated and pouting husband.

You covered your mouth to keep yourself from laughing. Daisuke was obviously feeling jealous of Haru now that his son was ignoring him - the emotion only worsening when Kakeru took the badge from Haru and dropped the gun on the ground and stared at the shiny object, whispering, "Uwahh,"

A cloud of dread hung over Daisuke and you patted his back in comfort. "There, there, Daisuke, he's just making a friend."

"But why with Haru?" Grumbled Daisuke, sulking. "And why is he looking at him like that? I should be the only one he's looking at like that. You too, I guess."

You let out a sigh. "You're really jealous when it comes to me and Kakeru."

Haru looked proud of the achievement and improvement he had made with Kakeru, his hands over his hips. "Looks pretty cool, right?"

Kakeru nodded enthusiastically, examining the badge thoroughly. "Very cool." He murmured, and then stared at Haru intently, lips pursing. "I wanna be like Mister Haru when I grow up!"

That was the first time you have seen Daisuke speechless and the last time Haru had seen Kakeru for six months. You were certain Daisuke did not speak to Haru for about two weeks, only communicating through nods and grunts, and Haru did not know whether to feel relieved or irritated at that. Maybe a little bit of both.

But, that was the only time Daisuke did not have the last word.

Kakeru certainly has Daisuke around his little finger.

***

You reached forward and shook Kakeru awake softly. "Kakeru," You chimed, and he scrunched his face again, not wanting to be disturbed sleeping on Daisuke's back. "Wake up, baby,"

Kakeru let out a small groan, and slowly opened his eyes. A familiar pair of blue hues greeted you, the same eyes that you wake up to every morning. Kakeru let out a big yawn and rubbed his left eye with his hand, groaning out, "Mommy," He then looked down at Daisuke who was craning his head to watch his son. "And Daddy."

You smiled at him and opened your arms, hands making grabby movements towards your two year old. "Come here, baby," You cooed sweetly.

Kakeru perked up and a glimmer crossed his eyes, the same glimmer when Daisuke had seen you for the first time. You could never forget that time, and you can never find it more beautiful than seeing that in your son's eyes whenever you offer him affection. Immediately, the two year old scrambled out of Daisuke's back - Daisuke grunted as his little feet padded on his back a few times as he struggled to get to your lap and arms - and sunk in your embrace. Your eyes grew gentler as Kakeru snuggled closer to your chest, cheek rubbing on your clothing and his hands clinging to the fabric.

"Are you tired, baby?" You questioned as you stroked the back of his head, finger running over his hair.

Kakeru nodded tiredly. "Daddy played cops and robbers with me."

"Let me guess, you were the cop and he was the robber?" You commented.

"Yes, and I captured Daddy many, many times." Answered Kakeru, proud with himself.

"Oh, is that so? That's amazing, baby. You're going to be a great cop like Daddy." You then turned over to Daisuke who was now recovering from being used as a bed. He dusted himself as he sat properly on the ground in front of you. "Is that why you were under him? Because you were arrested?"

Daisuke looked away. "I think I need to teach him how to properly apprehend a criminal."

You giggled. "When he's older, Daisuke."

He faced you with a sharp twist of his face, expression determined. "He won't grow older."

You frowned. "What?"

You and Daisuke looked down to see Kakeru fighting the need to sleep, his eyes opening and closing.

"I don't . . . " Daisuke trailed off, and a trace of embarassment scrawled on his face. You rarely see your husband embarassed and so you waited for him to continue. " . . . I don't want Kakeru to grow up."

You shook your head lightly, smile broadening. "Daisuke," You whispered, and when he did not look at you, you called him again. "Love, look at me."

He did so, and with one hand, you cradled his face. "I know how you feel. I understand where you're coming from. But - " You mused. " - don't you want to see our son grow up to be a fine man? To be the person he aspires to be? To be like you?"

Daisuke stares back at you, and took a gander at Kakeru who was beginning to fall asleep. He lets out a sigh and nodded in agreement, "I guess that would be pleasant to see."

"And he'll marry a great girl." You added.

"Marry mommy," Kakeru drawled. He was forcing himself to stay awake but his eyes was not cooperating with his spirits.

Daisuke scooted closer to both of you and brushed his knuckles on Kakeru's forehead. "Marry mommy? You're going to take mommy away from me?"

Kakeru shook his head. "Marry someone like mommy," One of his hand extended and took hold of Daisuke's shirt, the other still clinging to you. Kakeru looked up at both of you, still comfortable in your lap and chest. His eyes, again, were bright. "I want family like me, and mommy, and daddy."

Warmth swathed your chest, your heart melting. You took a gander to Daisuke and saw that the expression he wore - love, care, and the promise of sacrifice when it comes to it and when he looked at you, the emotions never faltered, and they only grew stronger. Sometimes you wonder just how much Daisuke loved you and Kakeru.

"A family like the three of us." Kakeru let go of your clothing and showed three fingers of his and quickly pressed the three digits together. "A happy family."

Kakeru fell asleep after his statement. His arm dropped and his head moved to one side, his eyes closed and lips parted.

"We should tuck him in." Daisuke declared.

"Yeah," You agreed and Daisuke helped you stand up, making sure you two aren't waking your sleeping son. You moved him to his bed, setting him down the mattress gently. Daisuke took the liberty of putting the blanket over Kakeru. Your child shifted in his spot, and cuddled to his pillow.

You sat on the bed beside Kakeru, observing your son. "Already tired when the morning has just barely started." You chuckled.

"He said he needed practice to be a cop, and I couldn't say no." Daisuke inserted.

"You can never say no to Kakeru anyways." You jested.

"Same with you." Daisuke knelt down beside the bed, arms resting on the mattress and his head level with his son's. He admired Kakeru, his deadpan expression gone and a small smile on his face. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against Kakeru's cheek, lingering for a while before pulling away.

Daisuke faced you and you raised an eyebrow as he took your hand.

"You have given me a beautiful son. Thank you so much, my love."

Can I request a Bakugo drabble of him with an owl quirk reader? The quirk gives them Barn owl features since they’re adorable. They get their wings by fllapping their arms (with enough energy they can turn into a giant owl), they have very round, doe eyes, talons when they flex their hands enough, and they can tilt their heads and rotate their neck like an owl as well. Bakugo could find them cute for being a bookworm (with Owls being seen as symbols of wisdom), enjoy their quiet/calm nature even though they can make occasional chirping noises when surprised or excited, and might not mind them being nocturnal despite his curfew. Also random addition, but can the reader wear round glasses too? I think it’ll make them cuter 🥺🦉

a/n: of course love! this is so cute omg, owls are fascinating birds bro- thank you for the request love!

summary: bakugou can really only tolerate a few people, and you’re one of them. from study session in his dorm to cuddles after, bakugou seems to like you a little more than he thought

key: (y/n) - your name / (f/n) - first name / (l/n) - last name / (e/c) - eye color / (h/c) - hair color / owl - your quirk

warnings: swearing, fluff

wordcount: 1.1k

»»————-　★　————-««

Pushing the brim of your large, round glasses up on the bridge of your nose, you continued to do your work, glancing over at Bakugou a few times. You had a study session later, or more so a quiet work session, where you could just work in peace and quiet without being bothered.

Although Kirishima and Kaminari heard ‘study session’ they couldn’t really understand why two of the smartest students had to study together. It was suspicious.

Bakugou could feel someone looking at him, and on instinct, he turned and glanced, coincidentally at the same time as you did. The two of you locked eyes. Bakugou could feel a familiar heat rushing to the tips of his ears, and the giddy feeling of his heart rate speeding up.

Lately he’d been feeling like this around you. He was sort of aggravated by it, but it was about time he acted on his instincts, which were telling him to make a damn move on you already.

If he had feelings for you, he shouldn’t bottle them up. Despite his techniques to do that with other emotions, it wasn’t fair to you, who seemed to be just as interested in him as well.

Bakugou was willing to live a little loosely with you, take a few chances on things, slow down a bit and spend time with you, with the person he admired.

You gave Bakugou a soft smile before retuning to your work, allowing Bakugou to stare at you some. Kirishima paid close attention to him, watching as Bakugou just seem to doze off admiring you.

The way your hair framed your face, and the way those stinkin’ cute glasses sat on the bridge of your nose, falling ever so slightly to where you’d have to push them back up.

Or the way your soft pink lips moved as you silently read the questions and answers on the worksheet.

Bakugou shook his head and turned back around, deciding it was probably a bad idea if he wasted any more time, he’d get way too distracted and not finish his worksheet, which he had to turn in at the end of class.

Thankfully he was able to complete it with two minutes to spare, being one of the last ones to submit it to the teacher.

After classes, you returned to the dorms and changed, deciding to wear something comfortable to attend your work session in.

Knocking on Bakugou’s door, a few minutes past five pm, Bakugou opened his door to reveal him in a loose t-shirt and baggy pants.

“Ready?” You asked softly, a warm smile on your lips.

“Yeah, come in.” Bakugou pushed the door open, allowing you to step in underneath his arm, and then closed it behind you.

The two of you sat down on his bed, leaning against the wall as you pulled out your books and homework, beginning the session.

It was peaceful, soft music playing in the background. It didn’t feel like something Bakugou would be into, but the somber jazz music playing at just the right volume with his balcony door cracked to provide just the slightest bit of air into the room made for a comfortable atmosphere.

You felt tranquil, being able to breeze through your work like the cool air blowing against your bare arms.

Bakugou was able to do the same, periodically glancing over at you as you bit your bottom lip or stuck out your tongue when faced with a slightly difficult problem.

You were smart, there was no doubt about that. Your quirk fit you perfectly, with owls being symbols of wisdom, it made sense that you were naturally bright, and your interest in books also charmed Bakugou.

When you made small talk in the gym or on field trips, you often talked about books you’d just read. And despite not being that much of a reader, Bakugou found himself adventuring to the library to see if these book you talked about were worth the read.

He’d tell you if he read it, although he’d thoroughly never admit it was because of you.

A quiet chirping noise startled Bakugou. Glancing at you, where the noise had come from, Bakugou could see your cheeks flush red.

“Did you just chirp?” Bakugou asked, a small smirk on his lips.

“Sorry! It happens whenever I’m happy or excited.” You apologize, feeling your heart beating faster.

“You happy or something?” Bakugou tilted his head, admiring you as you got more flustered. It was cute.

“I am. I like being with you- I uh spending time with you!” You stumble over your words, already knowing you’re making a fool of yourself.

“It’s cute.” Bakugou comments, leaning in to press a risky kiss to your cheek. Your eyes go wide as you stare at your almost completed worksheet.

Another chirp leaves your mouth as you quickly try to cover it with your palm. Bakugou chuckles as he moves, resting a few fingers under your chin as he turns your head to face him.

He removes the hand over your mouth and replaces it with his lips on yours. The kiss is magical, light and soft. It’s almost like he was scared to kiss you.

You reassure him it’s alright by finally kissing him back, melting into the kiss and his touch.

Bakugou bucks up and kisses you for real, pressing your back against the wall as he deepens the kiss. When he pulls away, you’re both awestruck. You smile and another happy chirp leaves your mouth.

Bakugou smiles and resumes his original position against the wall, continuing to do his work.

Shortly after you’re both finished with work, you push all your things aside and cuddle up next to each other. Bakugou’s ready for bed, but he doesn’t mind. He begins to doze off while you lay in his arms, reading a book that he had in his dorm. It was some sci-fi horror novel about monsters and heroes, something that seemed a bit childish for Bakugou’s taste.

But as Bakugou’s soft snores slowly filled your ears, all you could do was smile and nuzzle into him. The lamp by his bed was providing you enough light to read without disturbing Bakugou, who was nuzzled into your chest, blocking out any and all outside light.

After about an hour of reading, you close the book and flick the light off. You take your glasses off and set them carefully on the side of his bed before closing your eyes and snuggling into Bakugou.

It didn’t seem as strange as it sounded to be cuddling with Bakugou. You’d been getting closer over the last few weeks, it just seemed normal. He’d hugged you a few times, and now he’d kissed you. And now you were cuddling.

It was comforting. It was warm and it was loving.

Pressing a tender kiss to Bakugou’s forehead, you held him as you dozed off, falling asleep beside him.

thoughts while rewatching The Covenant

For starters, I love this movie. It’s terrible lmao but it’s cheesy and fun, and I’m no elitist jerk about movies - if it entertains me, I like it. that’s literally my only criteria. I have an extra soft spot in my heart for this one because it introduced me to the beautiful, talented, vision of perfection that is Sebastian Stan. I still remember my first two impressions of him watching this movie for the first time:

1) oooo cute boy! damn, there’s a pretty smile! omg please let him be the main character! 2) ...why cute boy makin funny faces? o.O cutie-pie...honey... what’re you doing?

And then I promptly forgot all about him for a few years, sad to say. Saw him in Gossip Girl and totally had no idea Carter Baizen was Chase Collins. Did not like Captain America (still don’t. Steve Rogers bugs me) so I didn’t watch those movies for a really long time (my judgement was based on The Avengers. I didn’t watch his solo movies until about a month ago). Therefore, didn’t get proper Bucky exposure until very recently, and when I finally saw how talented Sebastian Stan is, I looked at his imdb and went HOLYFUCKINGSHITIT’SCHASE lol And now, here we are.

In the first half of the movie Chase Collins is perfect. He’s not a showoff or a toxic macho ape. He shines because he doesn’t try to shine. ...And because his competition for the spotlight is these clowns:

The toxic jealous hypocrite, Pogue! Controlling, got a temper, shamelessly checks out and hits on other girls, and then gets a bug up his ass when his girlfriend - leGASP - talks to another boy! The horror!

The whiny, power-hungry, entitled snot, Reid. The logical choice for the actual villain of this movie, if we’re being honest here. And props to the writers for 1) acknowledging that and using it and 2) having the balls to make him a red herring instead. They did so in kind of a weakass way that was way too easy to figure out, but at least they tried lol

The adorable and completely forgettable Tyler. Basically just there because this movie was trying really really hard to be The Craft for boys, so they needed four “good guy” witches, right? I’m literally in the middle of watching this movie, and I like Chace Crawford, and guys? I couldn’t begin to tell you what Tyler does, besides get pushed into the passenger seat of his own car in the beginning. I have no idea.

And last but not least (because none of us gaf about Generic High School Bully Aaron, right?)

Captain Broody Pants, aka Caleb. Nice kid, tortured past, looks a lot like Angel and with this movie coming out 2 years (at most) after the end of that show, you can’t tell me they weren’t trying to cash in on that at least a little lol. I’ll admit, as a character and a love interest, Caleb’s got a lot going for him. Chase has a huge lead over the other three (it’s quite obvious he and Caleb were being set up to be Arch Nemeses right from the start lol. they’re the only ones fleshed out among the boys) but against Caleb? His one advantage is he’s Sebastian fucking Stan. Even with the funny faces when he’s trying to act badass, Chase is way cuter than Caleb.

And now I have a monster headache out of nowhere (welcome to my life. ugh) and I forgot my original point if I even had one lol. So, instead of a nice tidy ending to this post, I’ll leave you with Chase/Sebastian’s precious face and just shut up lol

#sebastian stan #chase collins #the covenant #movie rant #kinda random

KISSED BY THE BADDEST BIDDER MAIN ROUTE REVIEW

hey! so i just finished watching kaylaslovely on youtube’s review of the main five (+ rhion) bidders routes and so i thought i would make my own review, because i felt like it. so here you go!

i will be reviewing all nine main routes, or main stories. each story will be rated using these five categories: plot, pace, romance, mc (since she’s different in every story) and love interest. at the end, i’ll give the story its final rating and i’ll let you know whether i recommend it or not.

i will try not to include any spoilers, but just in case, consider this your spoiler warning!

remember, these are my personal opinions.

summary: you are a maid at a hotel called the tres spade hotel, owned by the ichinomiya group. one day, you get dragged into the ivc (an exclusive party for the elite, held inside the hotel) and you basically get lost. while you’re wandering around the area, you enter a storage room where a lot of expensive items are held. little did you know, those items belonged to a blackmarket auction, the ivc was only a cover for said auction. being the clumsy queen that you are, you manage to bump into the statue of venus and knock it over. when the men responsible for the expensive items find you, they throw you into a giant birdcage and put you up for auction instead of the statue.

from here, you can pick one of the main five love interest (eisuke, soryu, mitsunari, mamoru and ota) to buy you. the other love interest (except for rhion) only appear in the second/third season, they purchase you from eisuke (presuming eisuke bought you but you never fell in love). rhion is part of an “au”, but his story technically takes place in season one. does that make sense? okay, perfect. now, on to the review!

EISUKE ICHINOMIYA: THE ARROGANT CEO

plot: 8/10, the plot is a cliche and fairly overused trope... but i love it. it’s well executed and feels unique and original, even though the core of the plot really isn’t.

pace: 8/10, in my opinion, i think the pace was very good. it wasn’t too slow or too fast (although it leaned on the slower side) and i feel like mc fell in love with eisuke at an appropriate time in the story. the ending felt slightly rushed but i feel like that’s a common theme with love 365 stories.

romance: 7/10, not as romantic as other routes (i mean, it’s eisuke we’re talking about), especially at the beginning, but there were moments that made me smile.

mc: 6/10, she’s definitely a bit of a pushover in this route. i wish she stood up to eisuke more, i wish she was sassier, it would’ve made the story sooo much funnier!

love interest: 7/10, eisuke’s kind of a jerk in this story, but hey at least he’s entertaining? (he has his cute moments tho)

final score: 72% (b-)

recommendation: sure? to be honest, it was pretty okay, a little boring compared to the other routes but for the low low price of literally 0$ (his main route is free), it’s not bad.

SORYU OH: THE COLD MOBSTER

plot: 9/10, i really liked his plot! i’ll admit, i’m not a fan of gang related stories, in fact, i usually hate them, but soryu’s story genuinely surprised me! i especially loved the fact that mc made a female friend along the way, usually other females in stories are seen as rivals (as in eisuke’s case), but it wasn’t the case here and that made me really happy. we support women in his household <3

pace: 7/10, the ending was really rushed in my opinion, like way more rushed than the usual rushed love 365 ending. when it ended i was like, “are you serious?” it just felt abrupt. the rest was fine tho.

romance: 8/10, the romance was subtle (due to soryu’s cold and mysterious demeanor), but you could definitely feel it. there was sooo much chemistry between the characters, so it felt really romantic.

mc: 8/10, she’s a little boring, but at least she’s relatable, like her actions/choices make sense in this story.

love interest: 9/10, c’mon, who doesn’t love soryu? there’s a reason why the whole fandom simps for this man. he’s the perfect mix of cold and innocent, and his reaction to regular people things (like going to the supermarket) is hilarious! he’s really sweet too and you can tell that he really cares for mc.

final score: 82% (a-)

recommendation: yes! even if you don’t like gang related stories, i’d still give his route a chance.

MITSUNARI BABA: THE WOMANIZING THIEF

plot: 9/10, i really loved the plot. it’s basically a romcom with action and criminal activity, it’s gold.

pace: 8/10, there were some parts that felt rushed, but overall i think the pace was fine.

romance: 10/10, the most romantic story of them all (i don’t expect any less from baba). their interactions are so cute and i loved watching them get closer and more comfortable with each other.

mc: 8/10, even though she’s kind of dumb, it works because this story is more comedic, her naivety and trusting nature helped the plot advance rather than disrupting it. she’s also really sassy in this story, i loved watching her shoot down baba!

love interest: 9/10, i love baba! i love the womanizer character trope, i know it’s an unpopular opinion but i still love it. he’s actually a total dork and he has the best lines, i smiled throughout the whole story!

final score: 88% (a)

recommendation: it’s one of my favorite main stories, so i definitely recommend it! however, if you don’t like romcoms or womanizers, you’ll probably hate this story lol

MAMORU KISHI: THE SLACKER DETECTIVE

plot: 8/10, his plot is intense. it’s action packed, there’s twists and turns and it definitely kept me on my toes. however, it is a little hard to keep up with at times, i definitely had moments where i got lost.

pace: 8/10, like mitsunari’s story, the pace was a little inconsistent, there were times when scenes felt rushed, idk if it was on purpose because it was a more “action-y” story, but even some of the “romantic” moments felt rushed.. which was a shame because there weren’t many.

romance: 7/10, it wasn’t very romantic, honestly. they had their cute moments, but they were rare. they have good chemistry, like the best friends you hardcore ship, but there just wasn’t much actual romance. i would compare their relationship to judy and nick in zootopia, like friends but a little more.

mc: 5/10, the mc actually bites back in this story, which is refreshing. however, she nags mamoru a lot, and i got sick of it really fast, to the point where i’d roll my eyes whenever she opened her mouth towards the end of the story. she acts like mamoru is a child incapable of taking care of himself, yet she gets angry when he calls her “kid” or treats her like one? wtf? ALSO, one third of the story is her being jealous of a dead person, which is literally so unreasonable and illogical. i could rant about her all day i swear.

love interest: 9/10, mamoru is so relatable, it’s not even funny. i love the way he speaks and i love the way he reacts in situations. he acts like he doesn’t care, but you know damn well the man cares more about mc than anyone else. he’s also surprisingly patient (which, few bidders are), as i said, the mc is really immature in this story, and even tho he acts annoyed, he never actually gets angry at her. there’s something really cozy about him.

final score: 74% (b)

recommendation: if you like action packed stories, i would recommend this story! with that being said, the mc really ruined it for me.

OTA KISAKI: THE DECEPTIVE ARTIST

plot: 5/10, it was too predictable. literally three chapters in i was like, “oh, i see where this is going” and sadly i was right! it was really dramatic, which i actually enjoyed, but the overly predictable plot ruined it for me.

pace: 7/10, the pace was fine, however i feel like mc realized she was in love with ota at the wrong time. i wished they would’ve picked a different moment (maybe later) in the story to make her realize she’s in love with him, or just change the scene completely. because it was like one moment she just saw him as her buyer and at the snap of a finger she’s in love with him, like what?

romance: 5/10, there was literally one romantic scene in the whole story. there were some other cute moments but they were completely overshadowed by ota’s attitude. also, the whole dog fetish really turned me off, especially because the mc was clearly uncomfortable with it.

mc: 7/10, i feel bad for her. she’s really submissive and shy in this story, but like it makes sense (i would act the same as her tbh, i’d be too weirded out to give any sass), so she gets a pass.

love interest: 4/10, ota is so unlikeable in the first season omg i’d almost forgotten how much i used to hate him. however, he becomes really sweet after season 3, you just have to suffer through the first seasons lmao

final score: 56% (d)

recommendation: i really like ota but that story was not it. i wouldn’t waste my coins, honestly. if you really wanna read ota, read one of his substories or any story after season 3, don’t bother with his main route. however, his cg’s were one of the prettiest, so hooray?

SHUICHI HISHIKURA: THE ALOOF POLITICIAN

plot: 8/10, i liked this plot. it felt more serious than the other stories, but that wasn’t a bad thing.

pace: 7/10, same problem as soryu’s story, the last chapters were hella rushed and it made the falling action pretty confusing.

romance: 7/10, it wasn’t very “romantic”, but there were definitely scenes were you could really feel the attraction between the two. i find they compliment each other well.

mc: 8/10, this story was not meant to be a comedy, but the mc made it one. she’s so stupid that it’s actually hilarious, i honestly couldn’t stop laughing at her cluelessness. usually i’d find stupidity annoying, but in this story, i loved it. it made the heavy storyline easier to digest.

love interest: 9/10, shuichi’s a vengeful bitch, which makes his soft moments that much cuter. i like how he has his quirks, and how he has a professional stoic side as well as a soft caring side.

final score: 78% (b+)

recommendation: yeah, for sure. however, if you don’t enjoy the stoic stern hard-to-read type, you might not enjoy this story.

HIKARU AIHARA: THE MYSTERIOUS HITMAN

plot: 9/10, i really enjoyed this plot. it was like a romcom mixed with a dark-ish drama, it was really unique.

pace: 8/10, the pace of the story was good, however i felt like there was a bit of repetition in the story, in scenes and in dialogue.

romance: 7/10, i absolutely love hikaru and mc’s bantering! i think they’re so cute and it’s just really funny to read. it’s subtlety romantic and you can definitely tell that they like each other. with that being said, hikaru’s treatment of mc at the beginning of the story really ticked me off.

mc: 9/10, okay, she had her annoying moments like she always does, but the mc is so funny in this story! she reminds me of the mc from our private homeroom. i really liked her.

love interest: 9/10, here’s the thing, if you don’t like tsundere’s... you’ll fucking hate hikaru, because he’s a tsundere to the max. i love tsundere’s sooo, yeah i loved him hihi. he’s fucking adorable and his dishonesty towards his feelings is really cute. he’s also a sad boy, which made me have a soft spot for him.

final score: 84% (a-)

recommendation: honestly, i did not enjoy this story the first time i read it. i think it was because i didn’t understand hikaru’s sense of humor at the beginning, so i thought he was just a dick and mc was an idiot for liking him, but when i reread it after reading a couple of hikaru’s substories, i actually liked it. so, if you like tsundere’s i’d definitely recommend this story, if not, steer clear.

LUKE FOSTER: THE GOOD DOCTOR

plot: 9/10, i liked it! it felt a lot sadder/darker than the other plots, but it wasn’t overly depressing. there were lighthearted moments throughout and i like how luke gave mc a job instead of using her for personal gain or pushing her around all day. it was also surprisingly intense, with a few steamier scenes here and there.

pace: 8/10, the pace was pretty good, but like hikaru’s route there were scenes that made me go “i feel like i’ve read this before...” there was a rhythm to the story, or at least that’s what it felt like.

romance: 8/10, this story was definitely more intense than romantic. they still had their cute moments though, especially towards the end.

mc: 6/10, the mc is so nosy, impatient and short tempered in this story omg. she’s so quick to judgement and she has no sympathy towards luke for like the first 11 episodes of the story which really bothered me. also, she didn’t seem to understand luke’s way of showing affection and it got a little frustrating. she’s just exceptionally bad at reading people.

love interest: 8/10. if you love sad sweet boys who are surprisingly hot, you’ll love him. his collarbone obsession might weird some people out, but i found it hilarious and it was the perfect way to balance such a sad story.

final score: 78% (b+)

recommendation: if you like sad yet cute stories, i think you’ll really like this one.

RHION HATTER: THE MAD AUCTIONEER

plot: 10/10, his plot is amazing! it’s so adorable, innocent and unique, all while somehow managing to make me a little emo. rhion’s also the only bidder (besides luke) who didn’t use mc for personal gain, he actually bought her for some sort of companionship which was really refreshing (wow, the bar is set low yikes).

pace: 9/10, the pace was really great, it’s a slow burn too, which i love, but the last couple of episodes felt a little rushed.

romance: 10/10, it’s probably as (or maybe even more) romantic than baba’s story. there are so many cute moments, even when mc and rhion don’t really know each other yet. the romance is really sweet and pure, but it feels so real.

mc: 9/10, i love how she interacts with rhion! she’s relatable in this story and her actions are sensible, she has a mind of her own and she isn’t afraid to speak it.

love interest: 9/10, it’s rhion. he’s so precious! his shy and sweet nature is such a nice change from the other bidders and i really love how he slowly opens up to mc. also i think his alter ego of the mad hatter is really cool!

final score: 94% (a+)

recommendation: it’s my favorite story on the app for a reason. i definitely recommend it, even if you’re more into the sexy stories, i still think you should give rhion’s main route a chance! i made my friend who isn’t even into otome games play it and she really liked it.

FINAL RATING: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

i’ll admit, trying to look past the human trafficking bs was really difficult at first, but if you can manage to turn a blind eye to it and try to remember that it’s just a video game and everything’s fictional, it’s pretty good. the love interests are great, there’s some action, there’s a some drama and there’s a lot of humor. the sub stories are really good too!

4 for the reddie prompts please! Xx

here you go!! this is number 4 off of this prompt list.

i got so many prompt requests so fast omg i like to make these so long too,, i’ll try and get as many done asap and i hope you like this!! “My parents are going out of town this weekend.”

Eddie looked up from the comic book in his hands, and glanced over to Richie. The teen was lying on his bed, throwing a ball into the air and catching it before it fell on his face. Eddie found it humorous how Richie’s feet nearly hung over the foot of his bed, his height seemed to have betrayed his desire to keep the same bed throughout adolescence. When Eddie didn’t answer, Richie sat up and continued to speak.

“My dad’s got some dentist convention and my mom wanted to go. Doesn’t that sound so dumb, a dentist convention? What’re they gonna do, inspect each other’s teeth? See who can brush the best?” Richie looked genuinely confused, which prompted a giggle from Eddie who set down the borrowed comic.

They had been spending all afternoon at Richie’s, it being originally a plan for Eddie to receive some tutoring, but the two had finished way earlier than expected. It bewildered Eddie, how good at math Richie was. The boy only needed to learn a lesson once before being able to do the problems, along with applying further thinking with more difficult questions.

He would never admit it to anyone, but Eddie always stared in awe and amazement as Richie knit together his eyebrows ad solved his homework in record time. And apparently, Richie was also good at explaining how to answer the problem, because Eddie felt much more confident in his abilities after an hour of getting homework help from Richie. Neither one felt particularly in favor of ending their hanging out, so they decided to just relax in Richie’s room until Eddie needed to leave.

“I bet you’d do great in their teeth brushing contest, my little hygiene freak.” Richie crawled over to where Eddie was, sitting on the edge of the bed. Before Eddie could stop him, Richie brought his hand up and pinched Eddie’s cheek with a smile.

“Oh, stop it, Rich,” Eddie swat the hand away from his face, thinking about Richie’s comment. He secretly found pride in how clean his mouth was, and how pearly white his teeth were. He didn’t do the whole routine night and day for nothing.

“Come on, Eds. You know you would, you got a yapper so squeaky clean I bet kissing you would be like a minty oasis!”

It was stuff Richie said like that which made Eddie’s flutter, or the heat in his body to rise to his cheeks. Richie always was a flirt, saying things Eddie knew he didn’t mean. But there were moments where Richie would say something, something that indicated Richie had to think about his words, and it would leave Eddie damn near breathless.

“Shut up, and that isn’t my name,” was all Eddie could muster before returning his attention to the comic in his hands.

Richie had scooted over right next to Eddie, peeking at the comic and reading along. He must have gotten bored because soon Richie started speaking again.

“Maybe I should move everything in the house two inches to the left while they’re gone and see if they notice when they’re back…” Richie pondered, rolling onto his side and looking up at Eddie. As stupid as it was, it made Eddie giggle.

“That’s so dumb. But it sounds like something you’d do,” Eddie let out an exasperated sigh.

“They’d be so confused! Bumping into everything!” Richie exclaimed while rolling off the bed.

He stood to his feet and put on his best impression of his father, Went Tozier. “Here I am back in my home from my dentist convention, where I earned an award for farthest stethoscope up my ass-”

“Dentist don’t use stethoscopes, Richie,” Eddie cocked an eyebrow in amusement, only to be shushed by Richie.

“Guess I’ll just go and sit in my favorite chair! One I don’t even have to look at to sit in!” Richie then professionally strutted to an invisible chair, in a way that Eddie had to laugh at because it indeed did look like the way Went walked. Richie then mimed going to sit down, but landing right on his butt instead. He then put on a shocked expression, “Blasphemy! Could’ve sworn this chair was more to the right! Am I insane?”

Perhaps it was the voice, or the expression, or the concept of it all, but Eddie started to laugh so hard he fell back onto the bed holding his sides. Between the giggles, Eddie could hear Richie scrambling up and moving over to his side. Once Eddie’s laughter died down, he turned his head over to see his lanky best friend lying right next to him, Richie had the stupidest grin on his face.

“When I’m a big and famous comedian, and you’re my arm candy, I’ll be able to pick out your laughter at all my shows.”

Eddie hoped Richie couldn’t sense the nerves radiating off of the smaller boy.

“Like enough people will find you funny for you to have shows,” Eddie teased.

“Of course they will, Eds! And if not, I’m sure they’ll come for your cuteness,” That earned Richie a shove in the arm.

“You’re so weird, and stop calling me that. Your parents go out of town and the first thing you wanna do is alter the whole house by a few inches. Other teens would do other things,” Eddie rolled his eyes as he brought back their focus to the original topic. Richie’s eyes flickered with thought, filling Eddie with a mix of intrigue and anxiety.

“Okay, then I’ll do something other teens would do.”

Eddie’s brown eyes widened in fear, zoning in on Richie, something that could be easily mistaken for excitement. “Are you going to have a party?”

Although he opened his mouth to answer, the ringing of a phone cut Richie off before he even began. Just like that, Eddie’s attention was fixated somewhere else, and the discussion was over.

***

A few days later, Eddie lay on his own bed, listening to music play in his earphones. It had been a playlist Richie had made him, claiming he needed to expand his musical interests. And while Eddie didn’t like all the songs, he did like that Richie had sat down and made him this. At the first chorus of Boys Don’t Cry by The Cure, Eddie heard a phone ring. He thanked the universe that his mother wasn’t home, knowing she wouldn’t be happy with such noise blaring throughout the house. Abandoning his music, Eddie made his way over to the phone and lifted it to his ear.

“Now which of the stunning Kaspbraks am I speaking to?” Richie's voice filled the air around Eddie, familiar and deep.

“God, I hope you don’t usually start off like that, my mother would probably have a stroke.”

Richie laughed, “Oh, don’t worry your pretty head, Eddie Spaghetti. With all the things your mother and I do, I’ve come to learn that that woman's heart can take anything.”

Eddie’s face twisted in disgust, “You got a reason for calling me, Trashmouth? Or can I hung up and cut short your comments about my mom?”

“One day you’ll accept my ravishing romance with Ms. Kaspbrak,” Richie purred and had been any other statement in that tone, Eddie would have melted. Instead, he simply muttered a refusement, one that went ignored, nonetheless. “I’m calling you on this fine day to see if you can come over tonight? Possibly sleepover?”

“I’m not helping you move everything over two inches,” Eddie simply replied, getting ready to hang up the phone.

“Good, because I wasn’t gonna ask you. Think you can come?”

As much as Richie teased and joked, Eddie would never pass up a request to go over to his best friend’s house, especially sleepover. He found himself spending hours laughing at Richie’s jokes, eating things from his pantry that Eddie’s mother would faint at, and listening to the ramblings Richie went on. It all was Eddie’s own bliss, something he would never say out loud. But the concept spoke volumes loud enough in his own mind.

“Yeah, I’ll be there. What time?”

“Come around nine, and don’t wear or bring pajamas,” Richie said.

“Huh?”

“Just dress cute, like you usually do but even cuter. And don’t bring anything, I’ll let you borrow clothes or whatever.”

There was a beat of hesitation on Eddie’s part before he spoke, “Um, okay. You’ve got my spare toothbrush in your bathroom right?”

For reasons Eddie didn’t understand, Richie chuckled at the question. “Of course I do, never touch it. Remember, dress pretty, cutie!”

Before any questions could be asked, Richie had already hung up, leaving Eddie with his confusion alone. He put the phone down and looked over his shoulder toward the clock, he had about an hour to get ready and head over to Richie’s. He’d make sure to leave a note on the fridge for his mother, stating that he went over to Bill’s for movie night and would spend the night there. He would probably get yelled at for something so short notice and absent of her permission, but there wasn’t much else to do. So then Eddie commenced on picking out an outfit.

He supposed that he and Richie would probably go see some sort of movie or something, as they’ve done many times before. He didn’t get why he had to specifically dress nicely, though. He never got those instructions before they went to the movies.

You dress nicely for dates, a voice in Eddie’s head said.

He quickly repressed the thought and went to work in his closet.

Over time, he eventually settled on a pair of high waisted jeans, one of his favorite pairs, He liked the way it made his thighs look (and his ass), and dressing nicely to Eddie meant tapping into his confidence. He then picked out a dress shirt, one that was vertically striped with yellow, black, and white. Eddie then remembered some fashion advice Beverly once gave him, as he looked into the mirror. He tucked the dress shirt into his pants, and popped open the collar.

He immediately looked less like a businessman and more like those men in movies that always made Eddie blush. Wanting to top it all off, Eddie grabbed a belt he usually wore with pants that were too big and slid into the holes of his jeans.

He looked… hot.

A bubble of self-assurance formed in Eddie, as he shot himself a grin in the mirror. Whether Richie planned on them seeing a movie or what, Eddie was going to be hanging out in style. Picking out his outfit had taken a lot longer than Eddie had expected, noticing on the clock that he had about fifteen minutes to work on his facial appearance before needing to start walking over to the Tozier household.

Rushing into the bathroom, Eddie dug through the cabinets of medication until he reached what he had been looking for.

Eddie’s mother hated his curly hair, claiming it had to be neatly compact and short. But in a desire for adventure, or as much as he could get, Eddie had bought a hair product behind her back for volumizing curls. He swallowed nervously, placing the right amount into his palm and running it through his hair. As he finished and started to style it in the mirror, Eddie felt pleased with how he looked. For safety measures, he then brushed his teeth and did a few rounds of mouthwash. He couldn’t be sure that Richie truly did have Eddie’s emergency toothbrush in his bathroom, even if Eddie had forced him into never touching it a few weeks prior.

Soon Eddie was leaving his house and making his way over to Richie’s.

At first, he didn’t really notice it. Maybe his head was just somewhere else, daydreaming or wandering in thought. But it wasn’t long until Eddie saw how many cars were parked on the streets approaching Richie’s house. Even then, he didn’t think too much about it.

Some dumbass is probably just having a party, Eddie thought.

It wasn’t until he was standing in front of Richie’s house, when he saw tons of cars, heard music playing, where he realized.

It’s my dumbass having the party.

Eddie thought Richie was insane, didn’t he know better? By the looks of it, it looked as if Richie had invited the whole fucking school. Sure, cops didn’t care much and Richie wouldn’t necessarily get his party shut down, but it was just crazy.

Eddie suddenly understood why he had gotten asked to sleepover. Richie wanted Eddie to be here tomorrow morning so he’d have someone to help him clean up, it was pathetic. Richie hadn’t even told him there was going to be a party, but still expected him to help pick up the remains? Frustration erupted within Eddie as he made his way up the front lawn. Understanding more or less how parties worked, Eddie didn’t bother to knock. He opened the front door and was engulfed by the scene before him. Kids from all over his grade were walking around or chatting, cups in their hand and music filling the atmosphere. Had this been another day, Eddie would have taken advantage of such social event and would try to find his friends to have some fun. But he desperately wanted to give Richie a piece of his mind, so he shut the door behind him and went to work on finding his best friend who he was majorly pissed at.

First, he checked the living room, coming to face only a ton of teens dancing and singing along to the songs that were playing.

Then, Eddie made his way to the kitchen, expecting to see Richie chatting it up with a ton of girls and a beer in his hand. He was surprised to see none of this, but was grateful to come across Beverly and Ben leaning against the counter talking.

“Hey there, Eddie!” Beverly’s big smile cued that she was at most a little tipsy, which was fine. As long as she could point Eddie in Richie’s direction. “You look so hot!”

Ben chuckled and nodded, “She speaks the truth, you look really good, Eddie.”

His anger simmered down a little bit, enough to flash them both a small smile and feel flattery flutter in him. “Thanks, guys, any clue where Richie is?”

“He’s upstairs, I think. Saw him go up there a few minutes ago,” Ben said, trying to help. He received a small mutter of thanking from Eddie as he turned and made his way to the staircase.

Beverly took a long sip of her drink before leaning her head on Ben’s shoulder and letting out a dreamy sigh. “They’re really cute, aren’t they?”

Ben hoped Beverly couldn’t hear how loud his heartbeat got. “Yeah… Yeah, they’re really cute,” He told her while his mind struggled to stay grounded.

Eddie climbed the stairs, moving past more and more people. He wondered where Richie could be. He unintentionally had the thought of Richie hooking up with someone in one of the upstairs rooms, getting sick at the concept. Eddie pushed the idea away and continued with his search by banging on the first door he saw, the bathroom.

“Richie?” He called out.

An unfamiliar voice replied, and Eddie didn’t pay much mind to what they said, it didn’t matter. It wasn’t Richie.

He then moved on to Went and Maggie’s room, attempting to turn the doorknob but it wouldn’t budge. He then heard a giggle from the other side and a female call out, “Occupied!”

Richie wouldn’t giggle, Eddie told himself as he turned away from the door. Lastly was Richie’s own room, where he walked over to and turned the doorknob. Thankfully, it wasn’t locked.

As Eddie looked into the room, before him was indeed Richie, sitting on his bed with the same type of cup Beverly had while looking out his window. Eddie knew Richie probably wasn’t drinking though, with a party this big, Richie usually didn’t risk blacking out and not getting to remember all the fun. At the sound of a door opening, and the other noises from the party it invited, Richie turned his head and faced Eddie.

“Eds! You’re here! Was waiting for you to show up,” Richie’s initial face of happiness quickly morphed into a look of shock. “Holy Christ Eddie, I know I told you to dress cute but you didn’t have to come looking downright sexy!”

Eddie wished he wasn’t mad, or else he would have paid more attention to the compliment. Shutting the door to try and achieve silence, Eddie spoke.

“You’re throwing a fucking party?”

Richie must have heard how upset Eddie sounded, because his eyes got big and suddenly there was a pout where his smile had previously been.

“You… You told me to...?” He replied.

“I- What? No, I didn’t, Rich,” Eddie pursed his lips, trying to imagine in what universe he’d tell Richie to throw a party.

“Yes you did, when we were hanging out here a few days ago? When you said moving everything over two inches was stupid?”

Eddie groaned, throwing his head back, “I asked you if you were having a party. I didn’t tell you to have a party.”

Richie then shrunk into himself, frowning, “Oh.”

“Wait, did you throw this whole thing because you thought I told you to?”

The host of the party turned away shamefully, mumbling a small, “Yeah. Thought you’d like it, even though I should’ve known you don’t usually like big scenes.”

It was because Richie always had this impact on him, an impact that made Eddie putty in his best friend’s hands. But seeing Richie pull an act so great just for Eddie, to do something Richie thought he’d like, made all his anger vanish. It was replaced by gratefulness and empathy.

“Even though I never really asked for it, this was all a very nice thing to do, Richie. You know your house is gonna be trashed tomorrow morning, right?” The gentler voice made Richie gain a small smile, an improvement of mood that was enough to launch him into one of his voices.

“Nothing a few good hours of labor can’t fix, me ol’ chap!” He said gleefully in an awful British accent. It was so awful it made Eddie laugh, and that was all Richie needed.

“Well, then let’s go and enjoy your party,” Eddie said, putting his hand out for Richie to sat and stand up. Richie did so, not caring to grab his cup on the way.

When Eddie thought Richie was going to let go of his hand after standing up, Richie surprised him by not doing so. Instead, he gave Eddie’s hand a light squeeze as he started to make his way over to the door of his room. It made Eddie’s mouth run dry, and bundles of nerves ignite in his stomach.

Richie placed his free hand on the doorknob, but then pulled away.

Turning back to face Eddie, Richie leaned down to the shorter boy’s ear and whispered, “I wasn’t joking around earlier. You look really fucking good, Eds.”

Eddie would have been convinced he died right there and then if Richie hadn’t opened the door, and pulled them back into the event.

In the end, turns out he really did want this party.

Ayesha Liveblogs Cardcaptor Sakura S1

For faithfulness reasons, I’ll forgo rewatching in English even though I’m Jared 19 and never learned how to read

I will say the original English dub had a BANGER of a theme song and I do miss that

"I’m a Fourth Grader at Tomoeda Elementary” I know I watched this like when I was age 7 or smth but SHE’S LIKE 10?? OH MY GOD who is letting this ten-year-old roam the streets

“I’m gonna stomp on him” [Lucille Bluth voice] good for her

I fully forgot Sakura had a dad I was ready to accept her Grade 11 brother raising her

Sakura’s roller blades give me visceral memories of my barbie skates

Lmao is Yuki’s ability to throw a piece of candy at a child from a moving bicycle backwards foreshadowing his superhero abilities

Okay having checked this scene in both English versions and Japanese, my opinion no one asked for: the Aminax version is bad voices on all counts, Japanese has a better voice for Toya and original English dub has a better voice for Sakura and Yukito (who they called Julian lmao) I am not accepting constructive criticism

Tomoyo and Sakura sound so similar I could not even tell that Tomoyo was speaking omg

“There isn’t anything cuter or more interesting than you Sakura-chan” Tomoyo is really honest with her feelings I guess ten-year-olds be like that sometimes

“Is someone there” home invasions are what happens when you don’t lock your front door

This is not a study lmao this is a personal library there is hardly a workspace just aisles of shelves

Oh shit The Clow WIND RAIN SHADOW WOOD SWORD POWER THUNDER SLEEP CARD CAPTORS OF THE CLOW EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED NOW

Wait if this is hanging out in her dad’s study was her dad the last Cardcaptor lmao

Or probs her mom, since she’s gone the way of all anime moms

Sakura is accepting this whole “tiny magical flying lion” thing p well

“I accidentally fell asleep” “For how long” “30 years” same

“Stand right over there” Kerberos does not ask permission before magical girl transforming you lmao

“Why are you acting so wimpy” bc she’s 10 and you’re asking her to fight a giant ghost bird???

Honestly I love a good quest-to-collect-important-items maybe Inuyasha and DBZ ruined my taste but it’s a great formula

“You’ll be a better adult if you have all sorts of experiences in your life” r u going to take career counselling advice from a tiny flying lion Sakura

I do kind of miss Kero’s slightly unhinged young man energy

I like that whenever Sakura’s brother is rude she steps on his foot or kicks him fkjhjgkh excellent little sister depiction

I was expecting more secrecy but it is very funny to see Tomoyo try to convince her friend to be a superhero

“Do a flashy one” kfhkjdhkj Kero supports the use of magic powers for showing off

“Trademark poses and skills are the basic parts of being a magical girl” oh my gooood

I mean if I walked into my school and there was a mountain of haphazard desks waiting there I too would be threatened

Sakura is the only one in this group who has a reasonable understanding of what ten-year-olds should be allowed to do

LMAO @ Tomoyo’s team of bodyguards dropping her off to break into the school ONLY TO DRIVE AWAY

Tomoyo and Kero’s friendship is killing me the SHENANIGANS

I’m not sure I accept this light logic bc you need light to cast a shadow

Sakura’s “heart-racing first date” ur TEN oh my god

I mean it’s nice that Sakura wants to save the penguin but why did it take that for her to get upset it was going to drown a whole adult woman

Did Toya just RIP APART a WHIRLPOOL with his BARE HANDS

I wonder how Toya feels that his little sister has a crush on his boyfriend lmao

This cell phone is really top of the line for 1999 lmao I love it

U know if I were a high school student and my friend asked my 10 year old sibling out to lunch instead of me I’d be confused

"They’re not even gonna hold hands? Kids these days” This is a VERY weird vibe for an episode

You know I guess if you never watch the second episode you never have context for all of these superhero outfits LMAO

None of these locations have security cameras I guess the 1990s was a lawless time

Will all of Yuki’s magical advice be delivered in the form of mysterious field trips

LMAO @ YUKITO ALWAYS TAKING SAKURA TO TOYA’S TEMP JOBS

Say what you will about the ominous influence of the other card, I think Wood is being fairly polite since it’s contorting around her house instead of destroying it lmao

“I was planning to film ‘Sakura Dances in the Jungle’ in the park today” I love Tomoyo

Every little girl in this show sounds so similar lmao this is not good for my distracted watching style

Wow Ms Maki is really unloading on these two fourth grade girls

Since Tomoyo clearly interacts with even the more spirit-like Clow Cards I really have to wonder why no one else in this town is seeing these giant ghost monsters loom around the city

Well I guess this episode is a direct response to my previous comment

“I can’t stand scary stories” says the girl who spends her nights going into isolated areas and fighting magical ghosts

Seeing Sakura activate her Fly card really gives me overwhelming nostalgia for the days I wanted nothing more than to be a Cardcaptor I used to wave around a toy broom like that magic key ahhhhhhhh

In the absence of the first English voice and with the added gentle Japanese intonation for his speaking, I am constantly forgetting that Yukito’s character is a 16-year-old boy

Toya is really casually bomb-dropping the fact that he used to see ghosts and Yuki’s just like ‘dope are there ghosts around now’

Omg Kero’s sad face as he dropped the flower in Sakura’s lap 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

“I want to see if she wants to tell me something” like maybe ‘don’t run around town at night chasing ghosts ur 10!!!’

UHHHH AGAIN TOYA REAL CASUAL ABOUT THE GHOST THING

Yukito Tsukishiro: Chronic Aid-er and Abet-er of Pre-teen Mischief

Also if I’m right his name means something like “Ice White Moon?” Very heavy-handed foreshadowing lmao

“After we left, I went to the museum again and borrowed one” TOMOYO U CASED THE JOINT KJDHFKJHF

WHY IS EVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KID IN THIS TOWN ABLE TO BREAK INTO THIS MUSEUM SO EASILY

Tomoyo is eerily well-prepared for this mission it’s like she has been planning to burgle a museum all her life

They really made an executive choice to have both a Yuuki and a Yuki that was a decision that someone made

Oh hey it’s the other pre-teen supehero!!! That guy!!

The more I think about it, the stranger the height difference between Sakura and her brother becomes bc compared to him she’s really like 2.5 feet tall they did not pick a proportion scale

U see this what I mean by gentle intonation, Syaoran somehow sounds older than Yuki simple by roughness of voice

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TOYA U DEFEND UR SISTER

“Here, a steamed pork bun” Yuki sure nows how to de-escalate lmao

“That is made out of an insulator as well” Tomoyo is really prepared for any and every situation

It’s not fair of Li to compare what is probably years of magical training from his family to ‘trial by fire for eight weeks with a plush toy who doesn’t explain anything important until critical moments’

I’m really not sure what’s happening with Rika and the teacher but I DON’T LIKE IT

“I just want to be with you as long as possible” [cut to floral pattern] Tomoyo is aiming to supersede Yuki as Gentle Shojo Protagonist Sakura Fixates On looool

I’m sure there’s NOTHING significant about this familiar-looking sword brooch

Kero biting Li whenever whenever he says something rude to Sakura kghkjghk direct feminist action

What IS THIS business with Li running away flustered like that are pre-teen Cardcaptors ONLY allowed to have a crush on Yukito

“I guess I’ll have to beat him up once” Toya has zero qualms about fighting a ten-year-old

Two fourth graders giving Yukito chocolate while he peacefully hangs out with his boyfriend is the funniest version of executing this weirdness that could happen

What I’m really wondering is how the hell they cut out or explained away Li’s crush in the first English anime

“You were just a fledgling teacher and you married one of your [high school] students!!” u did WHAT what the FUCK MR. KINOMOTO I’m on Sonomi’s side

“Mother got married when she was 16″ MR. KINOMOTO CANCELLED! BANNED! THE HELL IS THIS!

“It was I who was granted time with Nadeshiko from her 16th to 27th birthdays” GO 2 JAIL DO NOT PASS GO

This episode has added a lot of layers to this show none of which I like

“What kind of person was my dad” someone who should be banned from teaching

“Your father is a disgusting person” WELL

SONOMI I KNOW UR TRYING TO BE NICE BUT HE HAS AT LEAST ONE MAJOR FLAW

Lmao they’re not even giving context why Yuki is around anymore he’s just an accepted artifact of the Kinomoto household

How is that the Time card is Li’s but not Thunder since he also returned that one to its original form

“Their fastest confirmed speed is over 100km/h” Yamazaki leave Li alone he just wants to adore the sloths jhfkhgjhgkhg

Ahhhhhh Li helping Sakura get the Power card?? These motives are quite hard to read but it seems sweet

OMGGG @ TOMOYO MAKING SAKURA DEADLIFT A PLAYGROUND

“I heard a rumour that everyone who asked Kinomoto out has been denied.” Well. [x]

“It’s one of the seven strangest things at this school, that both Kinomoto and Tsukishiro don’t have girlfriends.” WELL. [x]

AWWWWW YUKI DOESN’T LEAVE THE OTHER PRE-TEEN FAN CLUB MEMBERS OUT OF HIS KIND GESTURES

[Hannibal Buress voice] I was so caught up in euphoria of festival arcs, that for like a minute I lived in a world where the rest of this anime didn’t exist

TOYA BEING THE STAR OF DRAG CINDERELLA... OP UR MIND

I have no idea what the premise of the next Clow Card is but I really hope it’s “turn u into whatever ur acting as” bc I will LOSE my mind

I have not heard Yuki once intone as passionately as he did when he thought Toya was going to fall

“You like someone else” 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

“I didn’t promise anyone else a dance” Can I just say I LOVE TOYA?

The moment of stillness before Yukito revealed who he was asking to dance lmao... the repressed teenage wlw inside me LIVES

Yuki and Toya tag-teaming as the Sakura Support Team my heart!!

Geolocating someone from a fax... the incredible 90sness of this act....

I seriously don’t understand this world in which you leave 5- and 10-year-olds unattended for hours where are your child welfare laws

I am really choosing to ignore how absolutely bananas the concept of Tomoyo having a hidden Sakura Movie Theatre is

Speaking of weird, are we just trusting that this old man is normal? Is everyone doing that? I’m still not ready to trust yet the Sakura’s dad situation really burned me

“Girls look their best when they smile” a sweet thought that would not fly if an old man I just met told me that lmao

I’m REALLY not trusting this old man dressing up this girl in his dead (missing?) granddaughter’s clothes and staring broodily when she mentions there is a parent with her

“My great-granddaughter seemed happy” YOUR WHAT NOW

Their school trips seem much more fun than ours were we never went to the beach or fishing or got disappeared briefly in a cave

It continues to be funny how Sakura and Li have 0% tension re: Clow Cards, 99% tension re: Yukito who is already in a committed Something or the Other with Sakura’s brother

“Why were you on the roof” “Because it’s nice out today” LOL YUKITO

There’s no rhyme or reason to these card types huh some are like “I will destroy an entire zoo for fun” and other ones are like “mood lighting :)”

Sakura really isn’t out here to teach us any lessons lol it’s really a ‘get others to do your homework if you can get away with it’ episode

Rounding out the triad of superpowered pre-teens with Meilin I suppose

“Syaoran is my fiance” I have had it up to HERE with this anime cousinfuckery I don’t CARE if it’s cool in Japan or Hong Kong or whatever STOP BEING WEIRD WITH YOUR COUSINS

Poor Syaoran he was doing so well with getting along with Sakura until Meilin got here

"It was done by a girl again?” Oh my god is Meilin beating up grown men in parks for street cred

“It seems our relationship chart has gotten rather complicated” Tomoyo probably means astrology chart but here’s my understanding so far:

Speaking of complex relationships I wonder how Meilin will react to Syaoran’s crush on Yuki

This rivalry between Sakura and Meilin could not be more one-sided

I really was wondering for a second if the card was going to split in half

I love the vibe of Sakura and Toya teaming up to help their creepy dad but even MORE SO I love that Yukito is In This Household

“The contents are already up here” This episode really doesn’t hit the same way now that cloud storage exists and also what were all those floppy disks for if not to save your work Mr. Kinomoto

I love that Tomoyo always pulls her weight in her superhero sidekick role like she is here to support and help whenever needed

Sakura using her powers to impress her crush with a ghost duet lmao these priorities

“Sakura’s Little Adventure” I see what u did there

Kero’s little shoulder pat with his paw to let Sakura know he’s there aw

Omg this Clow Card is so cute “Is it your fault I’m so small now?” [nods pleasantly]

It is very bold of Sakura to be doing magic so casually when her brother and Yuki are right downstairs

I like that this show recognizes the inherent intimacy of allowing someone to cut your hair

“Information about you has gotten around to the cards” well this is an ominous start to this funky tarot reading

Well the experience of seeing his little sister try to murder him has got to be traumatizing for Toya I hope he doesn’t remember this

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM DID TOYA JUST FALL OFF OF A CLIFF

“Can you give me a break... and stop looking like Sakura” EXCUSE ME

“My mom’s up there too, so say hi to her for me” OH MY GOOOOD TOYA REALLY DOES SEE GHOSTS AHHHHHHHHHHH

WAIT SO IT WAS A CLOW CARD DOES TOYA HAVE MAGICAL POWERS TOO

Omg @ Toya feeding Yuki from his bed this really is an intimate episode

I kind of appreciate the slow build of this show like it took them 25 episodes to introduce meaningful stakes

“But it might be tougher than the earth going ‘boom!’ Depending on who you are...” Well hello threatening figure in sunglasses standing outside Sakura’s house what’s up

“I’ll look the other way” Ms Mizuki is literally this meme:

I can only assume that if Toya knows Ms. Mizuki then she must be a ghost

Personally if Mizuki gives Syaoran the heebie jeebies I trust his instincts

“Um... do you like Yukito too?” Oh my goooood they’re sincerely discussing being Not Straight in middle school in this 90s anime that I watched when I was 7 I cannot believe

“And it’s been a year since you told me you loved me here” WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THIS FAMILY WANT TO DATE SOMEONE TOO OLD FOR THEM WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING DATING SOMEONE TOYA’S AGE MIZUKI

Also I have to rethink every thought I had about Toya being gay. I mean bi is great too but my thoughts..... racing...........

“Because the next time I see you, you’ll have someone else that you’ll be in love with” Yukito BF confirmed but oh my GOD this relationship chart IS complicated good lord

If there’s anything the episode “Sakura and Her Shrine of Memories” has taught me it’s that everyone in this show is bisexual and all teachers in their neighbourhood should be in jail

I understand that Meilin is a kid but poor Syaoran he is constantly being harassed

I love Yuki’s bottomless stomach lmao

Syaoran and Sakura have such a genuinely supportive relationship but it is very funny how they try simultaneously to get Yuki’s attention with the exact same words

“I’ve been thinking for a while that Mr. Terada is a lot like my dad” oh thank you Rika for someone finally being normal in this show

“Well it’s a harmless one” You see this is what I mean the dichotomy of Clow Cards is like... “I’m going trap you in a maze until you perish” or “I’m gonna give you a sugar rush :]”

I like that Sakura and Syaoran are starting to partner up as a duo on purpose like yessss I love a 1-2 finish and friendship development

Ahhh poor Syaoran he’s realizing that Yukito’s #1 in his life is the Kinomoto fam

We’re all familiar with the eternal struggle of whether using ur superpowers for school sports is cheating

AWWW SYAORAN USING HIS POWERS FOR MAGICAL PEP TALKS AFTER HE HELPED TURN REI’S PET FOX INTO A POKEMON CARD THAT’S MY BOOOOY

“I will stomp on him” it’s been 31 episodes let Sakura stomp on her brother

Oh my GOOOD does this Big card mean that Sakura WILL FINALLY STOMP ON TOYA LMAO

Ur telling me that no one else in this ENTIRE TOWN notices this altercation of a giant preteen vs a dragon

Why does the logic for how voices travel based on size apply for the Little card (when Toya was speaking) and not for the Big card (when Sakura is speaking)

Sgskdhgkhkgjh honestly body switching as a trope will never not be funny

Syaoran blushing and running away from Sakura oh how the turn tables

Every domestic scene that Yuki and Toya have adds ten years to my life we love some gay/bi teens about to be gay/bi adults

Ffskhhfkj I absolutely cannot relate to this Southern Hemisphere nonsense of finding ten degrees celsius arctic cold like BRO that is a normal spring day here

“We’re not frozen because we have magical powers” I know that cutaway was to confirm Mizuki’s magical powers again but this would’ve been a hilarious time to reveal that like Yamazaki the Compulsively Lying Classmate had powers

Awwww he likes her now that’s cute

“I got work that day” I will bet someone ten dollars that Toya is working at that quiz rally

Update from 5 minutes later: PAYPAL ME $10

Kero keeps whispering to the moon when in fact some iteration of the moon is right around the corner (literally)

GOOOOOOOOD SYAORAN REALIZING HE HAS A CRUSH ON BOTH HALVES OF THAT TEAM KILLS ME SWEET BOY

Shared Gaze of People Who Have Dated* Toya and Have Magical Powers They Haven’t Revealed Yet

*Go to jail Mizuki

I am really going crazy wondering when they’re gonna reveal stuff about Yukito like bitchhhhhhh I know you’re a moon man when will u tellll usss

How many more times will Sakura have this same threatening dream before she realizes her math teacher is probably going to try to kill her

Update from one minute later: I guess it was exactly one more time

“That’s right, Yukito’s birthday is on Christmas day” is this coming to be a coming of age where he like suddenly sprouts wings at age 17

I’ve been thinking this for a while but this show makes it seem like Japan has a much more fun approach to athletics than my school experiences

Yukito really is unflappable about hanging out with a bunch of kids half his height huh he’s like the Fourth Grader Whisperer

I KNEW IT YUKITO NEVER GOES WITH SAKURA ANYWHERE UNLESS HER BROTHER WILL ALSO BE WORKING THERE DFHKDFHKJ every time it’s just “Hey Toya :)”

“This kid...” HAHAH TOYA HAS JUST REALIZED THAT SYAORAN HAS A CRUSH ON HIS LITTLE SISTER AND HIS BOYFRIEND THE UTTER SUSPICION IN HIS TONE

“Wind become a binding chain” Whoops Sakura foiled by 4th grade knowledge of the elements

Oh shiiiit love a world-building moment now we have two card combos in play ayyyyy

Lmao @ Kero using his returned powers immediately for fireworks mood lighting is a serious Clow Card priority

“I would like to come again this year” everything in this show feels like foreshadowing for dramatic irony

Part 2 Episode 5 Thoughts (Part 4 of 4)

After the dinner scene and the kiss, the next time we see Lilith is in the middle of the night, and the only light on in the house is coming from the upstairs bedroom, thus telling us immediately that’s where Lilith and Adam are. We then see Lilith coming downstairs, dressed in a nightgown now, not her green one, but a burgundy one, one less ‘I am a demoness who is going to eat you whole and spit out the bones’ and more ‘I am a sensual woman who likes silks’, which again reveals to us about Lilith’s mindset.

She says ‘I’ll be right back, my love’ and both the words and the way she says them are very telling. For one, she calls him ‘my love’, which she never has before. We’ve heard her call him ‘Adam, dear’ as a Mary affectation but that’s about it. But ‘my love’ is very personal, very intimate, and very much openly reveals how Lilith feels about him. As I said in the last post, his words, his consideration, his respect and promises as well as the consensual kiss, were the moment she fell in love with him. And the way she says it here, she sounds like she’s on a restful cloud 9. She’s at peace, she sounds dreamy and she’s strolling casually like someone in love. She’s in no rush for the water, no rush for anything, she’s content and happy here and it stands out for the fact we’ve never seen her like this before and we haven’t see her like this since, which is tragic.

This all very post-coital, the pace she moves, the way she speaks, what she’s wearing, the fact she’s come from the bedroom, the words she uses, all of it says she and Adam have just consummated their relationship (especially as Adam learned ‘Mary’ was no longer waiting for marriage). This is such a sensual moment in a peaceful, domestic way and it’s all the more touching for the fact Lilith has never had this.

And the Dark Lord arrives and ruins it all (his timing of just showing up....does that mean he just watched them have sex? Probably, the perv)

The way Lilith’s mood flips in a nanosecond, she goes from smiling and content, to absolute fear and panic on her face, turning around so quickly in horror that she smashes the glass of water she’d just poured on the ground. Her fear and kneejerk reaction to his arrival is so instinctual and so visceral, that all her happiness has vanished in a single moment by his mere arrival.

She tries to gather herself in that moment., acknowledging him with his name, but she is so thrown. She looks not like a demoness who has been by his side for millennia, but a witch who didn’t expect the arrival and fears what it means. It’s almost a parallel to Zelda’s vibe and fear when he arrives before her wedding. Whereas arrival of the Dark Lord in the past with Lilith has always been expected, welcome or even outright summoned, here we definitely feel it’s an invasion and one Lilith doesn’t want.

‘The temple has yet to fall. The mortal is a distraction. Get rid of him, Lilith’

Okay, firstly, Adam’s presence has nothing to do with how slow the temple falling is going. Lilith has done her bit, now Sabrina has to do hers, and Sabrina is apparently so self-involved she hasn’t even noticed Ms Wardwell has a boyfriend in the house. But whatever. So this was clearly such a flimsy reason for him to command Lilith to get rid of Adam, and I have to wonder why he gave a reason at all. Why not just ‘I don’t like him, get rid of him’. And then that ties back to other posts I’ve made about Lilith saying their relationship is co-dependency, and how Lucifer needs Lilith much more than he realises or will ever admit. He wants rid of Adam because Adam means she’s not focusing on Lucifer. And that’s literally the it. And he does sort of admit that, to an extent, when he says ‘you belong to me and only me’, but it’s him qualifying by viewing Lilith as a possession, something he has ownership of and the right to command.

Lilith quickly says ‘of course’, agreeing, and the breathless fear is still in her voice, but you can see in her expression that, as ever, she’s calculating and planning ahead. Lilith’s very character, her entire origin story, is about not being told what to do, and her entire instinct is defiance. But we know she suppresses that out of survival in the presence of the Dark Lord. The fact that her feelings for Adam are so strong that she breaks that survivalist rule and starts immediately planning how not to get rid of him, speaks volumes.

And now onto the ring. I’ve talked in the past about how Lilith is very, very powerful and people seem to forget that, and this ring is evidence of that power. An engraved ring, with her own spell spoken over it, is enough to entirely hide Adam from the Dark Lord. She can HIDE SOMEONE FROM THE SIGHT OF LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR. Like that’s extremely powerful. Remember in the Part 2 finale when the Spellmans were trying to find a way to hide Sabrina and all Ambrose came up with was a spell where she’d have to be constantly moving? Nope, no such crazy for Lilith. She can obscure someone with just a freaking ring. The only reason the spell didn’t work is that Stolas spied on her and then betrayed her to Lucifer (so I figure the spell works like that one in Harry Potter, where you can’t see the thing, unless one of the keyholders tells you where it is? Like Grimmauld Place?)

“Yes, but if I don’t protect the mortal, Stolas, I won’t get to play with him any longer, and I have grown rather fond of him”

Her reasoning to Stolas is an attempt to downplay her feelings, talking about playing with him, and only saying ‘fond’ (a word she uses in Part 3 which I personally feel is Lilith’s go-to word when she’s afraid to say love. So if she’s ‘fond’ of something, she freaking loves it) but that downplaying is disproven by the word ‘protect’. She’s not hiding Adam, she’s not keeping him, she’s not obscuring him or secreting him away, she’s protecting him. She’s keeping him safe. And that’s a big fucking deal for Lilith.

But of course Stolas, presumably, points out the Dark Lord wanted her to kill him and Lilith snaps, getting quite angry here, which again shows her true feelings.

“Oh relax. What the Dark Lord doesn’t know won’t hurt him”

Yet, the moment Adam comes back in, her entire ‘tough facade’ fades, and she’s suddenly wide eyed and concerned and she literally runs over to him, grabbing Adam by the hands and pulling him closer, almost as if she feels he’s less at risk of being found if he’s close to her. She is so desperately determined to keep him safe and that’s heartbreaking.

“I’d like you to wear this ring, but you must never ever take it off”

Not only is she insistent here, with her emphasis on ever, because she knows the moment he takes it off he’ll be in danger (omg is that what happened with Stolas? Maybe it doesn’t work like the Grimmauld Place spell, maybe Stolas pulled the fucking ring off???? I mean Adam already got the vibe the bird didn’t like him), but it’s the breathless urgency she speaks with. She’s wide-eyed and worried, she needs this to work, she needs him to be safe, Lilith is all in at this point and it shows that she does really have this huge capacity for love (after all she was created human originally).

“Of course, Mary, but what does this mean” He agrees without question but is so bloody confused, like last night we said no marriage and now you’re giving me a ring to never take off....what is happening here?

And then LILITH SHOVES THE RING ON HIM. She doesn’t wait for him to take it and put it on, that’s taking too long, it has too much risk, and so she puts it on him, and that gives us nice marriage visual, of how one partner puts the ring on the other during the ceremony, and considering her first and only ‘husband’ was the Adam in the Garden, it’s a nice contrast to her willingly engaging in something akin to marriage with another Adam, one who respects her and appreciates her, reminding us that that was the only reason Lilith ended up on this path to Hell and demoness-hood. She just wanted to be treated equally and with respect. So much would have been different for her origin story if the first Adam had been like Adam 2.0. Perhaps someone like Adam 2.0 would have defied the False God with her, refused his laws of ‘women are less’ and left with Lilith. Perhaps they would have been witches together, or simply free together, who knows. My point is, a little respect means Lilith might have been saved so much pain and suffering.

“It means we’re setting a date. But only if you swear to me, you’ll never take it off” She’s so vehemently insistent. Her fear and her concern for him is making her so vehement in her instructions that he keep the ring on.

AND THEN HE FREAKING PICKS HER UP IN THE CUTEST MOMENT I HAVE EVER SEEN. Made all the cuter by Lilith’s little gasp of delighted surprise. Adam is picking up the MOTHER OF DEMONS and he has no idea. Like no one has ever gotten to be that intimate or carefree or sweet with Lilith, he’s allowed to be so close to her, to entirely get under those walls she’s built up and it’s beautiful. This is such a cute moment and again shows us the happiness Lilith might have had, the suffering she might have avoided in an alternate reality.

When he puts her down, declaring he loves her, Lilith instinctively kisses him. SHE kisses HIM. He initiates it mostly, but she moves inwards too, meeting him half way without encouragement and she does it without thinking, it’s instinctual, she kisses him. And then she realises what she’s just done and you see she’s surprised by it-- she doesn’t kiss mortal men, she doesn’t have happy intimacy with mortal men, but here she has, without a second thought. It’s natural and comfortable to her, and she looks so cute and happy and delighted by this realisation. LOOK AT HER

Trials of Mana remake liveblogging (1/?)

Note: My party this time around is Angela / Kevin / Riesz. I just finished a replay of the original SNES/Collection of Mana version with Riesz / Hawkeye / Duran (I let my partner pick my party). This time around, I picked Angela and Kevin because they were two of the characters I hadn’t picked last time, and I wanted to show my partner their stories. Normally, I would also have picked Charlotte, but my partner gets really really creeped out by that way of talking (like, I showed him the hewwo Obama meme and he got so, so creeped out by it and asked me to never show him that again or talk like that XD).

So I decided to go with Riesz again for secret reasons (namely, getting That Scene now that Hawkeye is no longer in my party).

Liveblogging thoughts (from the beginning until being rescued from Beuca Island):

Eh, the Crimson Wizard’s voice is a bit dorkier than what I would have wanted but it’s okay.

My partner, responding to Angela’s backstory: Holy cow, this is so dark. Me: :3 That’s why I love this game.

I’m skipping my other party member’s full-playthrough backstories, though, because I don’t have time for that. Give me the cliffnotes version.

Kevin swimming across the ocean omg.

I really like the combat system here. It’s more like a modern action RPG. I like the strategy involved in dodges, jumping, and choosing attack types, which were missing from the original game. I also like that there’s so much to explore here. The dungeon design is pretty good too -- not too linear.

The dedication of the Mana series to cute character designs is admirable. I feel so bad wailing on these super cute monsters. ToT

That said, I think Charlotte could have been cuter. Her original game sprite was so chibi and was like 40% giant feet, and she had those teary eyes. That’s missing from this version.

Ludgar’s design here is... interesting. Not at all how I imagined but it’s so... unexpected, omg. He looks like a Dragonball Z villain.

I like how falling down waterfalls is a staple of this game series.

It’s a bit sad they took out Kevin’s attempting-to-land-on-his-feet-after-cannon-travel animation.

King Richard: You are the daughter of Valda, the True Queen? To think that Valda had a daughter all along... My partner: OMG, they FUCKED.

The cooing noises I make whenever I find Li’l Cactus. He’s so CUTE.

In general, I feel like the voice acting is unnaturally slow, which makes watching these cutscenes awkward. I tried switching to Japanese voices, but then I miss some of the character dialogue while traveling, which isn’t subtitled (my Japanese isn’t good enough to figure out what they’re saying).

Angela’s voice acting is OK. Riesz’s voice is calm and nice, which works, but sometimes way too slow and flat that it ruins the emotional tenor of scenes. It just seems phoned in.

That said, The Scene here was really cute. Hawkeye cups Riesz’s face and kisses her on the cheek! It’s so cute!

My partner: OMG, Riesz has never been kissed in her life.

I originally started the game on normal, then switched to hard because it was too easy and starting to get boring, but had to switch back to normal at the Zehnoa fight where I was just like “WHAT IS HAPPENING.”

Love the spoooooky ghost ship. Also that you can actually switch which character is the ghost in this game (I don’t think that was true in the original?).

Combat-wise, I like that more of the bosses have actually missable attacks! The Gova fight in the SNES version was pretty boring as a lot of is spent just getting hit by unmissable magic attacks, and Gova being out of reach unless you have a spellcaster.

My partner all the time: Kevin is so PURE.

The music here is faithful to the original soundtrack, almost to a fault as a reviewer has said. It’s nice to get orchestral versions of the tracks, but I was hoping for some remixed takes.

Hello! Can you share more hc or thoughts on KuroMahuSaki? Because I'm slowly getting on board, the dynamic is awesome!

Hello! Also sorry I’m 2 days(??) late to this, I’ve been real busy and tired.

But omg, it always makes me happy when people start to get on board with this ship!!! Both KuroMahi and SakuMahi are good and deserve love and respect~ 💙❤💚 I love idea of the dynamics a lot too.

Sure! I can share some more random thoughts and hcs for KuroMahiSaku! Man, where do I even start… OvO;;

I guess I’ll start with the cuter hcs? and see what else comes to mind from there. I don’t know, I don’t usually write these out so I’ll do my best.

In a happier world/totally not delusional ending I always imagined that the three of them end up all living together in the apartment,(because think of all the endless shenanigans that could happen from that.)

Sakuya always quickly offering to help Mahiru with the chores and Kuro watching them not really caring at first (cause hey means he doesn’t have to do it even more now and he can relax.) and Kuro always calls Sakuya a “suck up” for it when he instantly jumps up to help lol, but Kuro sees how much fun they have and how much closer the two of them become and seeing that helps him participate more in that kind of thing and Kuro really ends up enjoying it and spending time with them.

In the early days of this though(like before Sakuya and Kuro completely warm up to each other) I can definitely see the two of them competing with the chores sometimes. Like seeing who can do things faster and more efficiently than the other and see who can impress Mahiru with their housekeeper skills. But whenever they end up competing it usually leads to the job looking very rushed and sloppy from both of them and Mahiru scolds them about it and tells them they should work together and NOT compete like idiots. (Oh what is Mahi going to do with these boys?? His poor laundry can’t take much more of this hahaha)

Imagine members of Team Melancholy and the Servamp Family coming over every so often. Both Sakuya and Kuro having their “annoying relatives™” coming over from time to time. It’s usually absolute chaos when they all come together but ends up being a good time a lot. (Again in an ideal happy ending I’m hoping the war between them all ends peacefully and everyone can have gatherings and be friends like this. JUST LET ME HAVE THIS THOUGHT PLEASE. I KNOW WE MIGHT LOSE SOME CHARACTERS ALONG THE WAY. BUT I NEED THEM ALL HAPPY. PLEASE.)

Tsubaki. Just imagine Tsubaki constantly teasing Kuro and Sakuya about stuff and their “relationship” with Mahiru. You know he would, how could Tsubaki not tease his older brother and his young subclass about it? “It’s so fun!” (I’m sure some of the others do this sometimes too for sure, but Tsubaki is close to them both so he gets the best of worlds and he loves it. lol)

I like to imagine that a cute way that Sakuya and Kuro can bond is over their daily interests. For example, Kuro likes video games and Sakuya likes music. Sakuya’s canon interests include browsing music stores and playing rhythm games. So I can just imagined one day Kuro being like “What???? You don’t really play anything besides rhythm games??? What’s wrong with you?” Or something like that lol and makes Sakuya try something else for once. Or maybe Sakuya or Kuro challenging the other in a game of their choice and it results in several rounds of different kinds of gaming. (Sakuya purposely keeps picking rhythm games, so he can get a guaranteed win.) But Mahiru is so happy to see them having fun.

Mahiru definitely joins in their gaming sessions sometimes. (I don’t know why but I imagine Sakuya lets Mahiru win a lot lololol and Kuro is just over there like “God, what a suck up…” for the 800th time, but still constantly destroys them both in video games because you guys know Kuro has to be the best player out of the 3 of them.)

Eventually sharing these interests will result in Sakuya sharing music with Kuro. (Sure, we don’t know if Kuro is a huge music fan or even what kind of music he likes,but I’m sure Sakuya and Kuro’s music tastes would be different enough that they would be able to share unique stuff with each other.)

Imagine them all cooking dinner together. Mahiru trying to teach these two kitchen disasters how to cook. (Kuro sometimes eating some of the ingredients or completed parts of the meal before they even finish everything or just needing help in general sometimes haha, Mahiru thinks its rather cute sometimes too and doesn’t mind showing Kuro how.) I actually have a lot of thoughts about them cooking and just doing chores together. HELP ME.

I doodled something like this once before a long time ago, but since Mahiru is still a human I like to imagine him slowly getting taller than both Sakuya and Kuro(even though not by that much, Mahiru is still the shortest out of three, soooooooo I just really like this idea.) Mahiru continually thinking it’s funny when they notice the changes and when either of them get confused or flustered by the fact “Oh what? Hey… you’re eye level to me now.” (Oh, those two poor immortal babies.)

A bit of a sudden sadder thought here though, but I’m sure Kuro and Sakuya share the over-whelming sense of dread knowing Mahiru won’t last forever. Mahiru is still a human after all. But hey…. they will still have each other. Besides, it would be so sad that they stopped being friends or whatever they ended up becoming just because they lost Mahiru. Kuro and Sakuya would know Mahiru would probably want them to stay close and not fall apart because he’s no longer there. Mahiru would want them to be friends on their own and not just for him.

Okay, but imagine school starting up again for Mahiru. Imagine Mahiru thinking Sakuya should go back to school with him(and kitty Kuro of course). Just like how it used to be. But Sakuya instantly being apprehensive and saying a lot of things like “Oh… n-no Mahiru… I can’t do that. You know I can’t. Not after the way I left and what I did… I don’t belong there….and they don’t remember me anymore…you know that.” Mahiru would be saddened by Sakuya’s words and negativity because of the emotional baggage that comes with even the good memories of their time in school together. But Mahiru would maybe reassure Sakuya saying things like “Well…things are different now and I wouldn’t want to leave you here alone almost everyday. I just thought it might be the best solution for us all and I thought… I thought that’s what you originally wanted because now you have that choice again…” (FOR REAL THOUGH GUYS SAKUYA’S ORIGINAL WISH WAS TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL WITH MAHIRU, RYUSEI AND KOYUKI AND THEN LEAVE THEIR LIVES WITHOUT ANY COMMOTION BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE’S A VAMPIRE AND CAN’T STAY WITH THEM AND I AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

Even though this is Sakuya’s internal dialogue here, it’s a still a very real thing he wanted AND I THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH. THE BOY JUST WANTS TO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL AND BE A “NORMAL” TEEN BECAUSE HE NEVER GOT THAT BEFORE AND IT HURTS MEEEE. ITS LITERALLY NO JOKE.

okay need to end this hc here cause I actually have too many thoughts about this and could go on about this.

Anyways, don’t think I forgot about Uncle Tooru haha but I can see things going a couple of ways with explaining things to him. (I mean, he’s got to find out about Mahiru’s involvement with vampires in the canon story eventually. Right?? Although…. I still wonder about Tooru’s potential involvement with C3…? but that’s another conversation for another time. But it makes me curious about this hc.) He technically knows about Kuro already. Only in cat form though in canon….and Tooru knows Sakuya exists as Mahiru’s friend still too and Tooru is the one who helped Mahiru realize he should go after Sakuya in the canon story. So I wonder if things would start out with Mahiru being like “Um… is it okay if my friend here stays for awhile?” or maybe they would just be at the point where they straight up tell the truth when they get chance. (Again, just a lot of ways this can play out. So aaaaaahhhh)

I’m sure there are times Mahiru misses his mother, especially when it gets around to the day the accident happened and I already had a small thought/headcanon that Kuro helps comfort Mahiru around that time the best he can, Mahiru has comforted Kuro during tough times and helped him face his regrets, so of course Kuro would do something like this for Mahiru. But now hear me out with this too. I also think the same thing happens for Sakuya but with his older sister, cause it’s no doubt she was very important to Sakuya. These losses are equally traumatic for Mahiru and Sakuya because they both lost important family members at a very young age. But they definitely mourn differently about it. I feel like Sakuya doesn’t like showing this kind of “weakness” and his sister/past overall is likely already a very touchy subject to bring up around him. (I mean we had to have Tsubaki tell Sakuya’s past in the canon story and not Sakuya himself, so I feel it’s something he definitely hates talking about and probably wouldn’t have ever mentioned it to Mahiru if it wasn’t for Tsubaki.) I feel like Sakuya would cry somewhere secretly in silence, because he doesn’t want anyone to ask him about it. I mean he’s technically done that before over Mahiru *cough* *cough* never forget episode 4 *cough* As much as Mahiru is likely to be the one to help Sakuya open up more and being the one Sakuya feels most comfortable talking to….I really really do like the idea of Sakuya and Kuro becoming close too and I truthfully don’t talk about it enough. I like the thought of Kuro actually beginning to really care about him first. So I like the thought of Kuro awkwardly trying to figure it out there’s anything he can do and if he should do any kind of physical contact or anything??? Kuro trying his best to be more social and showing more care in his own little Kuro way, gives me life alright? I need more of this kind of character development and Kuro trying to interact with others. I get the funniest thought of Kuro panicking and just patting Sakuya on the head and being like….”uh… there, there.” Help him he is trying. Kuro knows how to handle Mahiru but not green boy yet.

I realized these hcs and thoughts slowly are getting more and more into angst territory, but hey I already said things wouldn’t always be smooth sailing for this ship. It would take a lot of building up.

But it was nice talking about the fun ideas rather than mostly discussing angsty canon stuff.

Since this is already getting super long and will turn into more rambles I will stop for now. Cause the more I talk the longer and more elaborate I try to get. I wasn’t joking when I said I have way too many thoughts. 😂😂😂

Anyways, thanks for asking!!!! ❤❤❤❤💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💙 (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ✧ﾟ･: *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)

#ca3 asks #i cant shut up about them and this isn't even where my thoughts end #but i had to summarize lol #kuromahisaku #servamp #correlation-not-causation
