Word Count: 4.9k

Episode Masterlist

You've been a host for almost two weeks now. It's been interesting, to say the least. Tamaki and the twins have been trying to get you into a dress since you put on the school uniform, but you cleaned the male uniform and refused all their demands.

Maria got letters from your friends back in y/c, to which she wanted to surprise you by putting them in your bag. You didn't notice them at school, and you didn't notice them when they were sticking out during homeroom.

But Hikaru and Kaoru did. Once the class was over, the three envelopes fell out of your backpack, though you kept walking. They looked at each other and nodded. Hikaru them and went on and they both went on with their day.

After doing your homework you rushed into the club room, only to see very real tropical decorations everywhere. The hosts had luau outfits on as well. "Welcome."

"This is different." You stated as you stepped in, looking around.

"Of course!" Tamaki posed as he talked. "It might be early fall but here at the Host Club we'd like our guests to feel as if they're in a tropical paradise. And plus, our heating system is... perfect!"

You gave him a slight look at his bragging, to which Kyoya smiled a bit. "Do you have a problem with the way we run our club y/n? Remember, you still owe us 8 million yen."

You set your bag down on your spot. "Charming." You said sarcastically, passing by him and giving him a sly smile. "I feel very free to speak my mind, really. So was this tropical island thing your idea?"

"All ideas dealing with the host club events come directly from the king. Although I will admit to casually slipping a Bali pamphlet onto his desk." He kept his smile as he continued writing in his book.

"Of course. Well someone should tell the king that he's really clever." You patted his arm before going and sitting down with your clients. "Good afternoon ladies—"

The twins each blew a whistle and marched over to you. "Hold it right there!" They said in unison. "Who's Julian?!"

You turned over to them, a bit surprised at the mentioning of that name. "What do you mean?"

"Three envelopes fell out of your bag, and one was from a boy named Julian." Kaoru said.

They then got very close to you, asking, "So who's Julian?!"

"An old friend." You shrugged, putting out your hand for the letters. They gave them back to you, but also gained the attention of Tamaki.

"How good of a friend is he?" He zoomed right behind your couch.

You didn't know why Tamaki was so territorial of his friends, but you knew there must be a reason. That didn't mean you couldn't still have fun with him. You fake sighed lovingly. "He's the best."

"Is he... handsome?"

"He has an adorable face. I love it so much!"

"You love it?" You gave you his puppy dog eyes.

"Yup."

"Do you have... feelings... for him?"

"Oh, I'm only totally in love with him."

"WHA~T?!" He then wrapped you in a hug. "But you're my little girl~"

You sighed again. "Yeah. It's too bad you're more his type."

"Huh?"

He blankly stared at you, and you bursted into a fit of giggles. "He's gay, so calm down."

"Oh." He then stood up and cleared his throat. "Well then, that's one less man to worry about. You don't know how many evil boys there are in the world, so you have to be careful."

"Yeah, I should also be careful of weird people who call themselves 'daddy'." An arrow struck through Tamaki as you walked over to the twins. "Thanks for holding onto these for me." Your smile made them blush. "And thank you for not opening them, since you guys are pretty nosey."

"We don't know what you're talking about." They both said as they shrugged.

"But y/n," Kaoru started saying.

"Why don't you open them for us?" Hikaru finished.

You scoffed. "Please guys, I'm working." You then turned to your clients as they sighed, smiling. "I'm sorry girls. What did you want to talk about?"

"Well, we were wondering if you were going to dress up in something tropical."

"Do you all want me to?" You asked, unsure if you wanted to go through with that.

"Yes!" They said happily.

Tamaki then appeared with a smile. "I already made you an outfit y/n. And look, we're a pair! Isn't it cute?"

You frowned. "You know I don't really like skirts."

He then showed you his big watery eyes. "But Kyoya gave you a dress and you accepted it no problem."

"He was doing it to be nice. You're doing this because you want to see me in a dress. That's weird."

He looked like he was going to burst from anger. He then pushed the outfit into your hands. "Just go change!"

You then changed into the shoulderless top with the long skirt, which also accompanied a lot of jewelry. You then went out and tried to discreetly go back to your clients. "Oh my goodness y/n, you're so cute!" One exclaimed.

"Y/N~" Tamaki jumped over to you and crushed you into a hug. "Everybody, look!"

"Let's not please." You whispered. Your face went red as you frustratedly looked to the ground.

"Wow." The twins said, grabbing your arms.

"Who knew y/n," Kaoru said.

"Could be such a girl." Hikaru finished.

"Looks cute." They said, giving you a thumbs up.

"Please stop drawing in more attention." You said quietly.

"Takashi~ look!" Honey dragged you over to them. "Doesn't she look adorable?"

"Yeah."

Tamaki and the twins had evil stars in their eyes as they inched closer to you. You didn't notice the blush on Mori's face when you went to go hide behind him. The three then shouted, "Give her to us!"

Mori shook his head and took your shoulders, guiding you to your couch.

"Thank you senpai." You said quietly. You then put your hands over your face. You peaked at your smiling clients. "Okay, I did this for you guys."

"How do you feel in cosplay?"

"Exhausted!" You put your hands to your side quickly only to begin shaking your arms, hearing the jewelry jingle as you moved. They began to giggle at your innocent and child-like movements. "Jeez, what's with this?"

"Y/n, you forgot your crown!" Tamaki stuck it out towards you as an offering.

You took a deep breath and drank some tea, not looking at him. "If it's worth more than me I'm not wearing it."

He gave you an angrily confused look. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"I'm not putting something ridiculous and way too expensive on my head. I don't even feel comfortable in this. It feels like I'm lowering the value of it by just wearing it." Your tone was a sarcastic one, which caused smiles from around your area. Though it was a joke, you were only half-kidding.

"Excuse me." A girl came up to you and said. "I believe we're supposed to be switching hosts now."

"Oh, you must be my next appointment." You grinned, waving to her childishly even though she was right in front of you. "It's nice to meet you."

She then grabbed your chin and brought your face closer to hers. "I've just decided. You're going to be my new favorite host." This seemed to effect Tamaki.

Once the club finished everything, you walked over to go change until Kyoya stopped you. "Your words with Tamaki seemed to amuse some of the guests, and many of those guests have requested you."

"Cool. I guess my clownery is likable." You chuckled and nodded.

Clownery. What an odd made up word. He thought about what his clients told them about you. You spoke with slang, though it almost as if you didn't realize it. They said that they found it adorable. Your speech being adorable. It was an interesting thought, in its own way.

Once you put back on your uniform, Kyoya instructed you to make Tamaki some instant ramen. You did so and finished cleaning. Once you finished that you sat down and noticed that Tamaki was irritated.

"C'mon boss, quit eating that commoner's ramen and help plan the party." Kaoru said.

"What's up with him?" You asked.

"He's just upset with Lady Kanako choosing you." Kyoya said as he typed away on his laptop. "She's had the illness for a while now though, so I don't know why he's too surprised."

"What disease?"

"The host hopping disease." The twins said.

You giggled, grinning. "So he's jealous that I stole her from him."

"Shut up! I couldn't care less!" Tamaki yelled. "That's it, my patience has run out. It's time you started dressing like a girl!"

"That's really what's bothering you?"

"I just don't get it. How can you be so popular with the ladies when you yourself are a lady?!" He then went into his private chest, digging though it. "Now you listen to daddy. DADDY WANTS YOU TO GO BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE AND KEEP WEARING SKIRTS!!"

He brought out a huge framed photo of you in a high and tight half pony tail, which contrasted your usually messy pony tail. You were wearing a cropped long sleeved dark gray shirt, with a black skirt and dark panty hose under.

"DON'T GO BLOWING UP MY PHOTOS WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST!!"

He hung it up on the wall and began crying. Everybody crowded around it.

"The more I look at this photo the more amazed I am." Kaoru said. "How did you go from that to wearing suits?"

Everyone turned to look at you. "I used to have a neighbor who owned a Burlesque lounge. Sometimes she needed someone to cover a waitress shift, and I would do it. This was the most covered up she would allow me to be though."

"I see." Kyoya said. "Those places are known for having women reveal a large amount of skin."

"I wore that stuff cause I had to. I feel more comfortable not showing my legs. I don't care if I dress like a dude sometimes."

"A GIRL SHOULD NEVER ADDRESS HERSELF AS A DUDE!!" Tamaki yelled. "MAMA~!! Y/n's using those dirty boy words again."

"I hate to break up this interesting conversation, but do you have any formal dancing experience?" Hikaru asked.

You turned and smiled nervously. "No, but I don't have to go to parties and stuff, right?"

Tamaki's eyes began to shine. "I absolutely forbid that. You must go to every event hosted by the host club if you want to pay back your debt! If you fail to do so, you'll be demoted back to errand boy" He then got a lot happier. "And that also means you have to wear a dress at the party!"

"No it's cool, I have a formal guy outfit." They all stared at you. "What? I got it when I had to go to a wedding."

"Why won't you wear something like thi~s?" Tamaki said with tears in his eyes.

"Cause it was for a job."

"This is a job!"

"No, this is indentured servitude. There's a difference. Slight, but it's there." You then briefly thought. "Oh, I guess that also means I have to learn the man's part since I'm a host."

Kanako was instructing you what to do, and you were getting the hang of it quickly. "You're quite a fast learner miss y/n."

"And you're quite an exceptional teacher Miss Kanako." Your gaze went to Tamaki, who looked sad. He wanted to teach you, but was too tall to be in the girl role. He glanced over to you, and you smiled and waved. He hesitantly gave you a small smile and waved back. Because of this you weren't paying attention tripped up the both of you. "I'm so sorry Lady Kanako!"

She pulled you closer. "That's quite alright."

"You're very forward." You smiled down at her before rolling to the side and pulling the both of you up. "C'mon, let's get you some tea."

You brought her tea as she happily held onto the cup. "You have a new order for tea sets I see. The handy work looks like it's Genorie."

"You have a keen eye mademoiselle." Kyoya said as he passed by.

"Such a pretty color." She gazed into the tea cup with a smile. "How lovely."

"Woah, you seem to know a lot about tea sets, huh?" You asked. This, unbeknownst to you, gained Tamaki's attention.

"What? Of course not!" She said shakily, blushing. "What ever would give you that idea?!"

Just then someone walked in with a box in hand. "You ordered a new tea set?" He asked Kyoya as he walked over to him.

"Yes we did. Y/n, come over and grab these." Kyoya said.

You nodded and smiled at him as he gave you the box. You opened the lid and looked at the set. "Wow, these are really nice. Are you an expert on things like this?"

Kanako began laughing. "Oh y/n, you're so out of the loop. It can be pardoned though." She turned back with a teasing smile. "After all, he doesn't look like an heir to a first class industry empire."

His facial expression changed as he looked at her. You noticed but decided not to say anything.

"The Susushima family has dealt mainly with table wear." Kyoya explained. "They are, in fact, a first class company."

"I think that's so awesome! You seem to have a lot of passion into what you're going to be doing, which is very admirable." You told him with a small smile.

He turned to you and bashfully smiled. "You think so? I'm honored. Well, see you all next time."

After he left and you walked back to Kanako with the box still in hand. "He's pretty handsome, don't you think?" You asked in your native language.

"Um, pardon?"

"Oh, sorry." You cleared your throat. "I'm asking if you think he's attractive."

She blushed profusely and nervously sipped on her tea. "I don't know! I suppose!"

"I get the feeling you two know each other."

She spat out her tea and began to panic again. "What would ever give you that silly conclusion? I have no idea what you're talking about! Anyways, take care!" She quickly left.

You stood up right before Honey jumped onto your back, almost knocking the box out of your hands. "Y/n-chan~! Guess what? They do know each other! Suzushima-chan is Kasuga-chan's fiance."

"Woah, really?"

"Kyoya," Tamaki said. "What do you know about this?"

He looked in his book. "They were childhood friends. Their parents set up an arranged marriage between them. I didn't find this information of any importance so I disregarded it."

"And what do you know of Suzushima?"

"Toro Suzushima. Outstanding grades, bare social status. Ordinary looking. He's reliable, in case of persuasion to place blame."

"He doesn't have much presence and is faint hearted." The twins said.

"In order words, he's boring." Kyoya closed his book.

"Wow," You said. "Who knew you guys were so cold to other men."

"We don't have any use of him so there's no reason to be nicer in describing him." Kyoya explained.

"Interesting philosophy." You said teasingly. "I can feel the kindness radiating off of you."

"Suzushima is a good boy." Honey said, on top of Mori. "Right?"

"Yeah." Mori replied.

"Alright men! It's time for a plan!" Tamaki announced. "It's our job at the Ouran Host Club to make every woman happy!"

When Tamaki finished explaining his plan, everybody packed up and left, leaving only Kyoya and you. He had just finished on his laptop and was packing up his things. You walked behind him. "Senpai, is it okay if I ask you a question?"

"Is it about what I said earlier?" He didn't turn around.

"Kind of. I mean, if we're talking about the same thing." You kept your voice steady and light.

"Was it what I said about not needing Suzushima?"

"Woah, no. Not at all. I was thinking about how you did a background check on him."

He paused briefly. "I see. What of it?"

Your voice unintentionally shrank. "Did you do one on me?"

"Yes. A few days ago, in fact. You fail to mention your brother when people ask about your history." His voice was so calm and normal. It made you feel very exposed.

"Everything I've said isn't a lie." You managed to say firmly.

"I know that as well. I understand your situation and I respect your reasonings for not talking about him. You've been through quite a lot, and you have a right to privacy."

"Please answer this next question honestly." His silence meant that he was still listening. "Do you think of me any lower or less, I don't know, appealing, now that you know everything about me?" You then nervously chuckled. "Unless it was already that low to begin with."

"I assure you that my views of you are of a hard working person who seems to make many people happy. Not wanting people to know certain things about you and having certain insecurities do not waver what I 'think' of you."

You let out a breath and grinned, hugging him from the back. He widened his eyes, but didn't tense nor pull away.

"Thank you Kyoya senpai. This really means a lot." You then let go of him. "Okay, I need to walk home before it gets dark. See you tomorrow." You then quickly went to the door. "Sorry if that hug was weird for you!" You called out as you left.

His opinions mattered to you. It was an interesting thought, in its own way.

As you were getting ready for the party, Maria came into your room. "Can't you be at least a bit girly?"

"Funny, that's really funny Maria." You turned to face her and sat down. "You're quite the tomboy yourself sometimes."

"I'm serious y/n/n. You should try a little makeup. You'll look nice for all your friends. One of them is bound to fall for you." She said in an offering tone.

You chuckled and shook your head. "They're all just friends. And I shouldn't have to try to impress anybody."

She sighed, going over to your nightstand and opening a drawer. She took out a black box and opened it, revealing the earrings you got back after your father was imprisoned. "At least wear one of your mom's earrings. They all look cute on you."

You looked in the box. She loved to collect them. "I don't know, maybe."

She grabbed your cheeks and smushed them. "Think about it." You grabbed her cheeks and did the same. "I also have something to tell you."

"Good or bad?"

She hesitated before quickly saying, "My sisters are coming for a few days to visit." And then sped walked out of the room.

"What?!" You followed her. "Please tell me Linda's son won't be coming too." She gave you a look, and that was all you needed to know. "Oh my gosh, I'm going to my club. That's gonna be my safe space for now."

"At least you have a safe space. I'll have to deal with Linda 24/7."

You then went back into your room and hesitantly grabbed a pair of earrings, putting them in your pants pocket. "I gotta go. I should start walking now."

She stopped you. "Take off the blazer at least." You took off the blazer with a pout. She then pulled off your messy ponytail. "Do something better with your hair too." You tied up two messy double buns. "There. You look adorable. Go."

You got there and joined all except Tamaki at the second floor in the auditorium. "Welcome, my little lambs," Tamaki said from the third floor. "To a magical night of your lives!"

Kyoya then spoke up. "As always ladies we are here for your enjoyment. Dance to your heart's content. The best dancer will be decided among us hosts and will be crowned queen. As a reward the queen will receive a passionate kiss on the cheek from our king, Tamaki Suoh. Good luck to all you."

They all began cheering, and you snickered over the stupidity of the 'prize'. The twins came over to you and began playing with your buns.

"These are cute." Hikaru said.

"You have a raggedy yet carefree look. The hairstyle compliments you." Kaoru told you. "Hey, have you ever been to a party before?"

"Not formal parties. Only block parties on my street."

"Well, since you're here y/n, you might as well enjoy yourself." Kyoya said. "We have quite the spread of desserts."

You then innocently asked, "Like squishy ice cream?"

"SQUI—"

"—SHY—"

"—ICE CREAM?!"

Tamaki flipped down to your floor and pointed to Kyoya, who was already dialing a number on his phone. "Kyoya! Order some squishy ice cream right away!"

"Two orders of mochi please." He said to his phone. The twins smothered you in a hug as your face burned from embarrassment. You felt like such an idiot foreigner right now.

In the meantime you danced with some girls, being flamboyant and silly when dancing with them. There was one girl who tripped over your shoes and almost fell until you caught her. She wouldn't stop laughing loudly, and it caused you to laugh as well. Others wanted to talk, so you danced regularly with them.

As you took a break from dancing with some girls Kanako approached you. "There you are y/n, I've been looking everywhere for you. May I have this next dance?"

"It would be my pleasure Lady Kanako." You began to dance with her. "You're so formal. It's really fascinating to me."

"Your expressions and slang are fascinating to me as well." She said.

"Kasuga-chan's here!" Honey announced.

"Honey, Mori," Tamaki said. "Commence with the operation."

Both nodded before swiftly grabbing you away and dashing to an empty room with the twins and Kyoya. "Did you guys really have to be so forceful?"

"Nevermind that, go and change." Hikaru shoved a bag into your hands and pushed you into the changing room.

"Remember y/n, we only have 37 minutes before the climax of the night," Kyoya said. "And a little accident might make the evening more interesting."

You saw a tube of concealer on the small table when you went in. You knew Kyoya left it for you, and it made you smile. You quickly changed into the dark purple dress and put concealer on the scars of your legs. You then remembered the earrings in your pocket and put them on. They were rose gold hoops with what looked like flower petals on them.

You then went outside, where the twins quickly put on your makeup. Kaoru then gently touched one of your earrings. "We didn't put these in the bag. Are these yours?"

"Yeah." You quietly said.

"They compliment the dress. It was good that you brought them." You smiled at him, causing him to blush and look away.

"Y'know," Hikaru said as they finished up. "I know the boss wants to stick to the strategy, but this is..."

"What are you all doing standing around here?" Tamaki asked as he came in. "The guests are wai—"

You stood up and faced him. You then began walking as the boys stared at you. "You look cute!" Honey stated.

Everyone blushed but Honey and Kyoya, who were both smiling. "My face feels heavy." You pouted as you kept walking.

"Hurry up!" The twins called out as you kept walking.

"Yeah, I got it." You muttered. As you left, the twins and Tamaki began to fawn over you.

You walked into the room they told you to. Suzushima turned around with a surprised look. You timidly smiled as you walked over to him. "You're not at all what I pictured from the letter you wrote me."

You kept your smile on. "Really?" He nodded. "Can I actually see the letter please?" He then gave it to you, and you read over it:

I'm in love love with you! From the first day I laid eyes on you I've been head over heals in love! Tee hee! All these feelings I have are harpooned to my heart as they keep whipping around my mind like the restless waves! When the special day comes, I want to randezvou with you on Noah's arc! I do I do!

You wondered who the hell would write such a stupid letter. It was actually a collaborative write with Kyoya and the twins. "Excuse me," Suzushima interrupted your thoughts. "Have we met before?"

"No! It's um, the first time we've ever talked!"

"I'm flattered by your letter, but I'm afraid I can't return your feelings." He said. "My heart has been taken by somebody else."

"My apologies! I didn't realize you had a girlfriend."

"No, she's not my girlfriend. I don't even think she's even interested anymore." He looked very sad.

"Well I don't know about that. Your calming presence is a joy to be around, and I'm sure she'd agree." You offered.

He sighed. "Thank you, but honestly, I'm sure she'd be better off with someone more self confident. That's why I'm leaving next month to study abroad. Hopefully become a better man for her. Maybe it's selfish, but I hope she'll wait for me."

"I won't lie to you, it's a little selfish." An arrow went through him. You squished your index finger and thumb. "Just a little. But Toro, if she really is the love of your life then I'm sure she'll still love you just as much as she probably already does."

He was about to say something as he reached out for you, but you heard the door open. You didn't turn so she wouldn't see your face. "Oh, I'm sorry to intrude." You could tell she was crying. "I'll just leave you two be."

You heard her heels and knew she was running away, and he ran after her. "Kanako, wait!"

You then walked next to Tamaki. "We didn't make things worse, did we?"

"He did run after her. He needs to learn how to be more sure of himself."

You were both walking back when you tripped again over your heels. Tamaki interlocked your arms together. You looked up at him. "You really need to learn how to walk in heels. They look so lovely on you, and it'd be a shame if you tripped and hurt yourself."

You smiled and nodded, leaning on his shoulder. You then tripped again, only for him to hold onto you and prevent you from falling. You giggled, followed shortly by Tamaki chuckling with you.

You both went over to the balcony. The lights hit, and you saw Kanako and Toro. "Let us join together and announce that this couple has been chosen for the final waltz of the night." Tamaki announced.

He said something to her, squeezing his eyes shut and asking her for a dance. You snickered. "Why are you laughing?" Kaoru asked.

"I know he's trying his best, but he looks kinda goofy right now." All the hosts looked from you to them and smiled. "They're awesome together though."

"May this awkward couple be forever blessed!" Tamaki exclaimed.

Kyoya then stepped forward. "And now for the grand prize, a kiss from our royalty."

"Y/n with step in for Tamaki." Kaoru said with a banana peel in his hand.

"And the kiss with be for Toro Suzushima." Hikaru added with another banana peel in his hand.

Tamaki was shocked, and you turned to Kyoya. "I'm not gonna—"

"It'll lower your debt by a third."

"I mean it is just a peck." You smiled and headed down.

"Wha..." Tamaki said.

"Also," You said as you began walking down the stairs. "You guys need to work on your love letter skills, because that was embarring for me to read."

As you went down Suzushima saw you and gave you a surprised expression. "You..."

"Y/n," Kanako said. "Were you the girl with Toro?"

"Hi guys. We just needed to give you two a gentle nudge. I promise I'm not in love with Toro. And I'm really sorry and embarrassed they gave you that stupid letter. I didn't write any of that." You smiled at them.

He nodded. "Thank you."

You then looked at Kanako. "May I?"

"Sure. It'll mark the beginning of our relationship."

Up from the balcony, Tamaki was reaching out for you weakly. "I wonder if this is y/n-chan's first kiss?" Honey thought out loud.

This made Tamaki snap, and he began running to you. "Wait y/n~!"

He slipped on the twins' banana peels and accidentally pushed you, causing you to kiss Toro on the lips instead. Kyoya did say that a little accident would make the night a little more interesting.

Welp. Paradox time.It’s the Finale.

Yikes. Last campground....

That doesn’t bode well...

Here they are. All my friends. I’ve traveled with them for this long. We’re near the end of the game. Who knows what will happen...

Promestein. You’ve been a very interesting character to see through this game. Seeing you young kind of shows you were always a fucked up kid. But, you have a good heart. And you now have a found family. You’re no longer a lone wolf salvaging through a dark world. You have us. And we’re happy to have you and alllow you to examine this bright new world.

Nuruko. I sadly didn’t get to know you too well and I’ll be sure to remedy that next game. But you were an interesting little thing.

I wouldn’t have pegged you as a main character honestly but hey. I’m glad your here. You were another person that I’ll have to be sure to bring next time because I feel you probably have lots of interesting insight.

Pope. You are DEF going to be in my next group. You were one of the most exciting twists i’ve ever seen and I am happy you were here. I am still angry for no sex scene.

Hilde. Once again, another “I didn’t bring around enough” but you hey. Happy to have you.

These two were my favorite running joke. The not so wise senpai and the student.

Not sure why YOU are here but you WERE the first boss of the game. So. Yeah. Welcome.

And you were the first recruited monster... I think.

This little exchange reminds me. Granberia was NOT at ALL a regular character in this entire exchange. Hardly any of the knights showed their faces. Alma I think was the most regular.

The spirits play little purpose as well. In the orginal trilogy they were SUPER important as they were a constant ability you had to keep on or die. Here. They’re not weak, they’re decent buffs. But I rarely use them... I did use them actually in the battle against Blalice. Alice actually is a Spirit Summoner because I felt it was rather poetic all things considered.

Wait are you a noble? Maybe you should put on pants. And a shirt. But okay. Vanilla! The most useful member that never see’s battle. She was BRIEFLY drafted in Black Alice when all of the other allies died but yeah. She has been a rock this entire time. Constantly producing MP for the party.

I admit I never had a use for her. She mostly stayed around because she had the most Dialog from things.

And ah. The MVP herself. Okay second MVP but we’ll get to her soon. Superb support. Valuable as hell. Sadly a lot of Angels have Auto-hit attacks. But I would have lost without her many times.

I’m trying to do the whole sentimental thing but yeah. Don’t have a lot to say. Maybe one of these days I’ll have just the four of them on a team.

I’m just WAITING for you to betray me. But it’s a bit late and you’re no longer important in the slightest so.

Ah speak of the devil. Now. Time for the main course.

Traveling with Black Alice has been a really facinating experience. She’s a lot of fun. If you know, a bit evil. It’s interesting that she played the Alice. Pretending to be something she’s not. It makes me wonder if it’s a tradition? I wonder if this experience will make her nicer.

Ah Sonya. You sadly have a LOT of death flags... It was interesting the idea of Luka having a human friend, but from a writing perspective it makes sense as she suddenly got the tropes that were associated with Alice in the first game.

Not a good sign.

This does bring a point though. Sonya I dropped out of the party for not being too useful. A healer in a game where healing is incredibly easy. And she didn’t exactly have a whole lot... Actually I could have turned her into a vampire funny enough. And a worm Villager. But yeah, besides that. She didn’t have a whole lot. I’m probably gonna try using her more in my Ilias file as I want to RP it as more of a Human/Angel Centric idea. The only overlap being Prom really.

And Alice. I really wish there was more to you but I get it. The romance between Luka and her just isn’t a focal point. Despite the fact that her and Luka’s children are in fact facing off. I kind of wish that was addressed more.

And her mother... There’s actually a LOT of plot threads still not addressed.

Was hoping for Elemental Giga. This would be a game where it could be theoretically useful though. With all the abilities and such.

Ilias prayer music in the background.

Now we have Opera music... Place has changed.

Less then steller.

You bitch.

You know what. Fuck you. YOU are FOURTH!

Alright gotta act quickly. Can’t... wait

WHAT??

SHE SAID IT

I’m not sure if gleefully killing an entire town counts.

Never a nice thing to learn.

“Then the fanfiction writers started... There’s this ONE bitch. She runs a Promestein blog and if you LISTENED to the drivel she writes. She made up this nonsense with male monsters for drama’s sake”

“And don’t get me started on the Luka Situation. There were like 3 at one point.”

Wait... How many others from other worlds??

...Wait When??? I can go over level 60 now?? Must be when I updated.. Huh. Okay. Wish I did this earlier.

Too many... oh

See. I’m doing an RP with La Croix that takes place using this concept. But something both of us realized is that Luka actually very rarely DIED in most of his endings. Not right away. Many of them used him as a pleasure slave. Or married him. Or he just gave up adventuring. Some like the angels even used him for 1000′s of years. So. Theoretically. He would have had to live his entire life. Die of natural causes. And then wake up back at a fight he had years ago.

But here it just says failed.

Oh.... Is this...Which Ilias?

I forgot... You’re... the Real ilias. so you have been trying your best to keep things from going to shit huh?

Oops.

Yikes... So yeah. Makes sense. Fuck that Lukia (Which was us)

The...Remina labs??

Oh hey. It that bitch.

Yes Little Prom. Yes. Soon. You will meet. Yourself.

A better part of the whole. I remember there being an Angel/Monster hybrid who says she couldn’t combine her dark and holy energy. This is probably why.

I wonder if this is a joke of some kind revolving around smoking becoming less allowed in Japan.

And they summoned.... Black..Alice. Is that how she was alive in the original Trilogy??

Oh no... This..... Is.... Original Trilogy Black Alice.

As creepy music plays. I am reminded. The White Rabbit is a universal Constant. Where was she then in the original Trilogy? Simple. She was here. Right here. In Black Alice... the drug created by Promestein. The fusion of Holy and Dark.

Those poor Scientist.

That Casualty of it.

Oh. Dear. Lord.

“So you finished the art for that Hentai game right?” “HENTAI GAME?? I thought we were making Bloodborne.”

That is terrifying.

Oh dear lord.

Angels. Demons. Both are at her demand.

YOU SAID SHE COULD NOT REACH US.

Of course. Time Succubi from aother wordl

That. Is terrifying.

Yup. Zero.

She’s dying as the Villain again? The Pyrrha.

Wait. What?

So... You.. Were killing them to.. Bring them into YOUR world??? So. They’re alive?

So they’re killing people... to bring them into another? This reminds me of a little bit of a Webcomic called Order of the Stick. Where the gods wondered briefly if they should destroy the world, in order to save the souls. Because the main monster, was a giant horrifying sould devouring creature. So if the gods destroyed the world, they could save many from inhiliation, and bring them into the after life. This begs a lot of question about after lives and existance beyond death and whether or not it truly is a death.

Bloodying her hands so her daughter doesn’t have to.

Yeah I would like to know that as well.

I would like to know actually.

Wait why are you wearing clothes now?

I forgot you were a person. Wait. So these are from another universe.... One where Ilias won...And therefor Eden got to wear clothes.

The old Monster and Angel War, Fought in the foreground of the world we stand.

And the death flags come home to roost.

Was she... one the entire time?

Or did she become one now?

Mhm. This looks familiar.

And the music begins. The battle wasn’t too hard. But...

This isn’t good.

Not grand.

This battle music is though. ♪♫

Oh you bitch.

We beat both of them... or...

We did not.

That’s... really really not good.

...what?

HUH???

UMMM????

SHES A WHATR??

She’s the element of chaos.... Does that mean there’s a HOly and Dark Spirit too?

Fine. I’ll train you.

...What?

Oh.... shit.... Dad... Killed Alice’s Mom.

And. That. Is the end.... Welp. I guess we have to do the Ilias Route next.

Iwaizumi x reader

soulmate au where their first words to each other are tattooed (?) on their wrist/ forearm (depending on the length of the sentence)

word count: 1,630

genre: f l u f f ?

a/n: this was actually my first ever haikyuu fanfic much to think about. i know theres a canon kaori in hq but i couldnt think of any other names for y/ns friend

"wOrm?", thats the word imprinted on Iwaizumi's wrist in small dainty lettering, a rather simple word, quite hard to understand it. Iwaizumi always got questions about his soulmate tattoo and every single time, all he did was shrug and simply say "i don't know either".

It was something the ace of Seijoh paid little to no mind to, he knew that he would meet his soulmate someday anyways so there was no need for him to rush. His friend, Oikawa was somewhat of an opposite of him, rather he, Oikawa, was rather pumped up about the topic of soulmates as he too haven't met his one and only yet. He just knew he would instantly fall in love with her (or him wink wonk) when he gets to meet them.

"h-HEy, i think it's kinda sweet!" Oikawa retorted, slightly flustered. this was their usual conversation, Iwaizumi would ask Oikawa these questions while Oikawa gets flustered.

"at least mine isn't a one worded sentence!" he continued. it was true that one worded sentences as the first things your soulmate would say to you were rare but it wasn't impossible.

"yeah, fine", Iwaizumi sighed in defeat, not wanting to prolong the conversation any longer. but to his demise, Oikawa continued.

"do you think my soulmate could be a really cute girl? that's like cheery?" he rhetorically asked his spiky haired friend.

"probably one of your fan girls that you've never spoken to, probably loud too. judging by your type." Iwaizumi answered.

"oH, come one! Iwa-chan~ be more serious!" Oikawa pouted, which made his friend roll his eyes in annoyance. "i wonder when we'll meet!" he continued in his ever so cheery tone. "oh, i wonder who you're soulmate would be, Iwa-chan!" Oikawa smirked, continuing, "i bet it's that girl below our year, (h/c)(h/l) hair, (e/c) eyes... (y/n)-chan was it? i've been seeing you looking at her whenever you get the chance to!"

this resulted in a blushing Iwaizumi throwing Oikawa out of the club room.

the other members who were just outside were stunned when they saw Oikawa flying out on their way in.

———

you were looking down on your forearm while waiting for Akiyama Kaori, your friend since they were twelve. the words "did you purposely set those two up?" tethered your forearm in big bold lettering. you, a second year at Seijoh always found it confusing whenever the words ran through your mind.

most students in your school had already found their soulmate which didn't really bum you out but it did bum out Kaori, she for one was one of those lovesick and delusional teens who would go out of their way to read, write and imagine herself with a fictional character or her crush. you too would read and occasionally self indulge in these things but you were no match for Kaori. other than fictional characters, she also had quite a huge crush on your school's star volleyball setter. her love for him grew even more when he once mentioned to a group of fan girls that he still hadn't found his soulmate where you overheard and told her about it.

you looked at her expectedly and zipped open your bag, handing her a textbook. "okay, so i was in the teachers office and while i was on my way out, Ms Nakamura handed me this, Oikawa's textbook. she told me that he handed up his tExtbook instead of his notebook during literature. and i kinda thought you might wanna do the honours of giving it to him so uh here you go."

Kaori looked at you with stars glistening her eyes. she was starstruck. "oH, (y/n)! are you seriously going to make me talk to Oikawa? tHE OIKAWA?" she said as she held the textbook with her dear life, flipping through the pages, looking at little alien doodles he probably drew.

you sighed, "come one he's probably in the gym".

on your way there you thought about Oikawa, or more specifically his rather fierce looking spiky haired friend. you wondered if he had a soulmate or not— not that you were interested in him or whatever. okay maybe you kinda sorta thought he was kinda cute and you may or may not kinda sorta used this opportunity to see him again while asking Kaori to accompany to, it was like killing two birds with one stone.

———

the two of you awkwardly entered the gym as the volleyball club members were almost done with their practice. the two of you knew the other second year players well, you would even go as far as to consider them as friends, you hung out with them quite a lot alongside Kaori but other than the ones in your year, the others were complete stranger to the both of you.

after the match ended, the two of you were noticed by your fellow second years and they walked towards the both of you.

"(y/n)-san! Kaori-san! hi, what are you doing here?" Watari greeted and asked.

"oh uh- Watari-san, hey. Kaori has something to do so i accompanied her here" you smiled awkwardly at him and also earning a small but hard nudge from your friend for pushing the blame on her.

meanwhile, Oikawa nudged his friend and pointed towards you discreetly to Iwaizumi. Iwaizumi felt his heart suddenly beating fast unsure if it was because he saw you or because of the sudden shock from the nudge. he hoped it was the latter.

"Oi!" he growled at Oikawa, scanning around and saw another girl, who was shorter than the (h/c) haired girl Oikawa was pointing at. an idea popped into his mind. "hey, Oikawa, look at the girl over there" it was now Oikawas turn to blush, but only faintly.

Oikawa gasped and whispered to his friend "Iwa-chan, she's adorable! do you think she's my soulmate, do you, do you?" he was ignored by his spiky haired friend.

"iWA-CHANNN" he whined rather loudly. causing the two of you to snap your attention to where the loud whine was produced.

the two boys were rather embarrassed by the sudden attention they were receiving and just kinda diverted their eyes to the ceiling while whistling and shoving their hand in their pants nonchalantly.

you grabbed Kaori's hand and dragged her to where Iwaizumi and Oikawa were and forcibly tried to prop her up as her knees were starting to get weak from the sheer fear from being in front of her oh-so-amazing crush. Kaori finally came to her senses and stretched out her hands that were holding a textbook in front of her crush.

"O-oikawa-senpai, you forgot your textbook!" she blurted out and started blushing madly, you snickered beside her as realisation dawned on Oikawa as he replied, "thank you!... you must be my soulmate!"

there was a sudden pause and everyone in the gym was silent. Kaori pushed up her shirt's sleeve and revealed the words that Oikawa had just said aloud, where as Oikawa was looking at her arm and back to his. Kaori gave a big smile and started giggling while Oikawa hugged her in his sweat filled form but you didn't think Kaori would mind as her soulmate was her biggest crush.

you leaned on one of the gyms walls as you silently cheered for the two newly love birds with your arms crossed. you would be walking home with Kaori after this whole ordeal so you had to wait. sighing intently a small smile etched onto your lips yet you couldn't feel a bit sad that everyone you knew had a soulmate.

"did you purposely set those two up?" a sudden low voice spoke out. you look beside you and realised that Iwaizumi had propped himself next to you, arms crossed.

"wOrm?" your masterful plan had worked, kinda. you didn't expect Oikawa was Kaori's soulmate, at the very least, you just wanted to make fun of your friend after she spoke to her crush for the first time but things had ended up better than anyone had expected.

Upon hearing your word, Iwaizumi and Oikawa snapped at you, bewildered. you looked at the both of them in confusion until Iwaizumi showed you his wrist, making you unconsciously roll up your sleeve and look at your own.

'did you purposely set those two up?'

'wOrm?'

you two had a stare off until the both of your friends spoke up in unison, "IWA-CHAN / (Y/N), YOU FOUND YOUR SOULMATE!!"

you two gave each other a soft smile as the two of your heart beats fastened and your cheeks redden. sure as hell you found your soulmate and you finally understood why Kaori had hugged hers as you jumped towards Iwaizumi, wrapping your arms around him as he did the same to you.

"holy shit, i cant believe you're my soulmate" you whispered.

"yeah" was all he replied with.

Accidents Happen- Atsushi Nakajima x Reader

Hey everyone :D I’m back with another bsd imagine! I didn’t realize how much more comfortable i am with writing the characters compared to other shows. I had fun writing this albeit there is a cheesy ass ending lmfao sorry yall for unrealistic expectations. This also turned out longer then i wanted to again omg it was just supposed to be 500 words lololol whoops

Also dont be afraid to send in any requests for bsd:)

Fandom: Bungou Stray dogs

TW: None

Summary: Atsushi is dumb insecure boy and you just want to kiss him

Word count: 1.3k

Atsushi first met you a few weeks after joining the Armed Detective Agency.

It didn’t take long afterward for the tiger boy to develop feelings for you.

How could he not? You were such an optimistic and kind person, bringing so much light into the darkness that Atsushi had become accustomed to since his time in the orphanage.

You always made the boy laugh as well, with your bold humour and sassy remarks that he’d watch you exchange with the other members of the detective agency. He admired your carefree persona; it was what opened his world a little more as you continued to show him your own.

Currently, the gray-haired teen was finishing up the paperwork that he had disregarded from the last mission in favour of tagging after one of your many adventures as you liked to call them.

You were currently in the same position as him, both teenagers being the only signs of life in the office. Everyone had left for the day but you both had to stay back, seeing as you were unable to procrastinate any longer.

Atsushi winced at the thought of Kunikida-senpai scolding the both of you and demanding that you stay back and finish the mission reports. Shaking the consuming thoughts of you, Atsushi looked back down at his paperwork laid out in front of him.

Picking up the pen from his desk, Atsushi went back to working with a small sigh. He would look up so very often to your figure splayed out on the communal couch.

You had gone silent a few moments ago, declaring that if you worked any longer your mind would combust.

Suddenly, a loud exaggerated sigh broke the silence in the room and Atsushi glanced up once more to see you laying on your back with your arm resting across your eyes.

When no further sound escaped you, Atsushi went back to his work.

You then released another big dramatic sigh which drew Atsushi’s attention once more.

Deciding to humour you, Atushi smiled and said, “Are you alright (Y/N)-chan?”. Moving your arm from your face, you met Atsushi’s gaze with a child-like pout. He couldn’t help but feel his cheeks warm slightly from the eye contact.

You were always so easily able to fluster the poor boy. “No,” (Y/N) whined, jutting out her bottom lip even further, “I’m so bored Atsushi-kun, why don’t you stop working as well and hang out with me over here.” You proposed to him.

As much as Atsushi would love to spend time in your company, he was scared in case Kunakida came in screaming once more.

Otherwise, he may never be able to hang out with you again, seeing as he would be murdered by said man. “I’m sorry (Y/N)-chan, but we have to finish this, we’ve been putting it off for too long,” Atsushi said, declining her proposition.

Briefly, his mind drifted to how it would be like to have you both cuddle in that couch, your body pressed flush against him as you would card your fingers through his hair.

Snapping out of this thought, Atsushi was briefly horrified at his own mind.

Of course, you would never do that sort of thing with him.

You were an incredibly amazing person who would no way settle for someone like him. Besides, Atsushi believed you deserved someone other than him, someone who wasn’t a completely useless failure.

You whined once more, effectively drawing his attention, and you held your arms in front of you, wriggling your fingers at the detective signaling that you wanted him to come to you on the couch.

Atsushi felt himself lose his resolve as you looked at him with your big (e/c) that caused his cheeks to tint pink slightly. “Alright, alright,” Atsushi sighed, standing up from his chair, finding that he couldn’t deny you anything you requested.

Once he reached your body, you reached further for him until you had both of his hands grasped in yours.

Atsushi felt the familiar sensation of his heart racing rapidly, as it usually did when you initiated any sort of physical contact with him.

You then shifted your hands so that they were intertwined with each of his, before beaming up at the boy from your rested position.

Atsushi’s heart almost stopped at that one, you were surely going to be the death of him one day.

Sitting up to make room for Atsushi, you pulled him down so that he was next to you.

Yelping, Atsushi felt his whole-body flush at the close proximation the two of you were in due to your movements.

He found himself unable to make eye contact with you and turned his head away to one of the desks. He was surely a tomato by now, he was sure of it.

He saw you observing him from the corner of his eye with uncharacteristic silence.

Feeling your body shift slightly, “Are you alright?” (Y/n) asked with concern laced in their voice, “You look red, are you sick?”

“N-no! I’m fine (Y/n)-chan!” he denied quickly, not wanting you to worry over him. In order to diffuse your concern even further, Atsushi turned his head back to you.

However, Atsushi completely forgot about the proximity created between the both of you from your movements earlier. So, when his lips accidentally brushed against yours, he completely froze up feeling his cheeks completely ablaze. Jumping back, he looked at the other detective in complete horror.

No way, he hadn’t done what he thought he just did, did he? Unlinking their hands, Atsushi raised his fingers to his lips, looking at you with shock. You were staring back at him blankly which only caused his heart to completely go out of control.

“O-oh my god! (Y/N)_chan I didn’t mean to O-oh my god I swear it was an accident, I would never-“ Atsushi rambled out, blanching slightly as you continued to look back at him expressionless.

Shit! He had said something wrong, “W-wait I didn’t mean I would never because of course I would! You’re really pretty and amazing and anyone would be lucky to kiss you!” The gray-haired boy quickly exclaimed before catching on to his unintentional confession.

“I-I m-mean…” Atsushi stuttered. Holy hell what could he say at this point to defend himself?

Just as he was up and about to give you another explanation, you had cut him with a small giggle.

Staring at you in disbelief, Atsushi watched as it turned into full-blown laughter. His heart sank slightly at this, who would really want to kiss him anyway?

Suddenly you stopped your laughter as you gave him a big grin, “You are such an idiot” you stated as your (e/c) twinkled in happiness. Before Atsushi could ponder on your words, you reached forward and grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him forward so you could reattach your lips.

Atsushi widened his eyes at this, his mind unable to provide him with any coherent thought.

The feel of your soft lips against his essentially gave his heart palpitations. When you released him, Atsushi gazed shyly at you, “Wait..does this mean..?” he trailed off. Your actions clearly eluded to your own feelings toward the boy, but he found himself still unable to believe it.

Rolling your eyes, you nodded at him before moving forward to recapture his lips.

This time, Atsushi shut his eyes and felt himself focus on the kiss. He was absorbed by the thought of how soft your lips were, how they moved against his own inexperienced pair.

Sparks ignited in his chest and he felt himself become consumed by your warmth. Atsushi placed his hands on your thighs with uncertainty as you moved your own to cup his face, tilting your head in order to gain better access.

Feeling your tongue press slightly against his bottom lip, he let out a small gasp. This caused him to part his lips allowing your tongue to slip a little inside, clearly not wanting to overwhelm the nervous boy.

Atsushi felt his body heat up with affection towards you as you both pulled away.

You stared at him with a small smile before grabbing hold of one of his hands, intertwining it as it was earlier. Staring down at your hands, you looked back at him, “Of course it was always you.”

Ken-chan’s Fan Event 2019

I was lucky enough to score tickets for all 3 sessions on the 24th and although the general format is the same for every session, the things said in each session are actually pretty different because of how Ken-chan decided to do things. Each session had me in stitches, I was laughing so hard my face hurt, and overall, I had a super wonderful time.

Check out the Read More for a full write-up and more pictures!

Ken-chan's guests for the 24th were co-stars from his current show GEKIIKE Masquerade, and they were Isaka Tatsuya and Washio Shuuto. Shuuto has been a guest for Ken-chan before (not when I went), and I’ve actually been a fan of Isaka Tatsuya for over 10 years (from when he was Ichigo in Burimyu) so there was a hilarious war inside me between my 18-year-old-self who loved Tatsuya best to my current self that loves Ken-chan (equally? More? A LOT even if it’s not as long). Shouma was also there because Shouma’s ALWAYS there; I’m pretty sure Ken-chan has never had a fan event without Shouma. Although he’s usually there in a helping capacity, maybe emceeing, this time he was more like one of the guests and was on-stage for the Q&A and Etudes (improv skits). Kainuma Yutaka, an actor Ken-chan met working on Nintama was the emcee.

So the format was: Ken-chan, Tatsuya, and Shuuto would appear as a debuting idol group, perform their 2 debut singles (not original), and then there was a Q&A session with questions from the audience (we had to email questions beforehand), and then there were the Etudes (they always did three), and then Ken-chan did a present raffle for the audience, giving away solo cheki (polaroids) and one of his handmade uchiwa, and then the show would end with him taking photos with any fans who paid for a cheki with him. Surprisingly, they also offered cheki for Ken-chan's guests, Tatsuya and Shuuto and Shouma, which is rare. I’ve never seen an actor event where that was an option.

1) Debut Idol Group

This portion is a gag, since these three are pretending to form an idol group together, but they basically styled themselves like one of those... color-coded, young-boys-breaking-into-the-industry, put-together-by-an-agency type idol group. So they all had color-coded headbands (Ken-chan had red, Tatsuya had blue, and Shuuto had yellow), and they all had white T-shirts with their idol names SHARPIED on (Ken-chan's shirt read Akkun, Tatsuya’s shirt read Takkun, and Shuuto’s read Shukkun). They also all wore these REALLY TIGHT skinny jeans with color-coded belts, and their makeup was A LOT OF BLUSH to make themselves look boyish. Shuuto even had freckles drawn over his blush. Ken-chan was also pitching his voice to sound much higher. Tatsuya’s Takkun personality wasn’t all that different from himself, he was pretty silly and hammy. Ken-chan as Akkun would stutter a lot, would not stop wiggling his hips across the stage and striking poses, and very excitable, very... manufactured idol. Shuuto as Shukkun was SUPER SHY AND QUIET and wouldn’t really talk or move at all, he just stood on the far right towards the back of the stage with his shoulders all stiff and a terrified, deer-in-the-headlights look.

Then they performed their two “singles” which were actually songs from like the 70’s or 80’s (I’d heard them before but couldn’t place them). They’d play the original music video behind them and then sing (so really it was more like a karaoke session), and they actually didn’t know all the words to both songs, so they had uchiwa themselves on-stage. One one side they had Sharpied their names (Akkun, Takkun, Shukkun), and on the other side, they’d printed THE LYRICS to the songs. Ken-chan would sing and also DANCE by flailing like a maniac most of the time around the stage, shaking his hips constantly and striking dramatic Jojo poses, like someone drunk at karaoke who’s getting WAY too into the music but it’s great for spectators. Tatsuya was honestly putting in a decent amount of effort too, singing nice and clearly and trying to dance along even though there was really no following Ken-chan. Shuuto, because of his character, would stay stiff and still in the back right of the stage, quietly singing along and holding his uchiwa up to his face, very obviously reading the lyrics and not really ‘performing’ like the other two.

Usually during the instrumental breaks in both songs, Ken-chan would try and get Tatsuya to do something ridiculous with him. In the first session, he’d make Tatsuya bend forward so that he cold leapfrog over him sideways, and then he made Tatsuya leapfrog over him, and then they pulled Shuuto in for a 3-man pyramid and then they’d RUN back to grab their uchiwa off the table so they could start singing again in time lolololol. Second session, they did lifts for Ken-chan; so Tatsuya and Shuuto would take either of Ken-chan's arms and lift him in an angel pose and carry him across the stage, In the third session, they kept trying to do these lifts that they didn’t really know how to do, so Tatsuya would lift Ken-chan onto his shoulders, but then he kept trying to get Ken-chan to sort of... stand? By bracing his feet on his thighs and it was not working because Ken-chan didn’t know what to do and then Tatsuya accidentally decked Ken-chan in the crotch with his head and Ken-chan dramatically rolled around the floor on-stage, clutching his crotch and the others sort of checked on him before hurrying to grab their lyrics because they were missing their cues lololololol.

And then after the performance, Yutaka-san and Shouma would join them on stage. They’d joke around about how Shukkun was new and that’s why he’s so nervous and not doing as well as the other two. Yutaka-san would point out that they only formed their group recently, as in, TODAY, and Akkun said in one session, “Well he arrived last in the morning. So he’s the new guy. I’m his senpai by two minutes.”

Oh and I forgot to mention that their idol group name was “Atashi,” which is (1) the most feminine way to say “I,” and (2) a reference to Arashi, the most famous Japanese boy band that’s existed since 1999.

Then they would “transform” into themselves with an “illusion” which just meant Ken-chan would twirl around on-stage shouting, “ILLUSION!!!” and they’d flash the lights on the stage, and then the three would start acting like themselves to start the Q&A session.

2) Q&A Session

They always did about three pre-selected audience questions that had to be e-mailed in before the day, and it was fun because they would ask the question to all four of them in most cases, and usually they’d get a little de-railed and end up talking about one question for several minutes. Most of the questions were summer-themed and resulted in a lot of really random information from all of them like how Tatsuya really likes to go riding on his motorcycle out into nature and go solo-camping, Shuuto refuses to turn on the air conditioning even in summer (to get stronger, whatever that means), and Ken-chan was actually scouted at age 15, but didn’t decide to seriously pursue work in the entertainment industry until he turned 18. There was even some conversation about choosing to stay in entertainment, and Shuuto brought up the great point that most actors quit around the time that they’re 29 and move on to other things and/or start a family, “so the ones who stick around past thirty are the weirdos.” And Ken-chan was like HEY and Tatsuya was like ‘yeah maybe...’ But Shuuto fixed it to say that the over-thirty actors are then some of the most wonderful senpai to learn from as a younger actor.

One of the questions that I found really cute was one that asked how they did their summer homework back when they were in school. Do it at the start of summer type, work on it gradually throughout the summer type, or the procrastinator. Tatsuya said he always had a lot of anxiety about it so he was the type to do his homework little by little every day throughout the summer, and that he’s the same way now as actor. He has nightmares about getting the script and then the tour of a play starting the next day when he hadn’t learned any of his lines yet, so he’s very diligent about memorization. Ken-chan and Shouma were both procrastinators who put off their homework to the end, although Ken-chan also mentioned a friend he had in high school who would dedicate the first two weeks of summer entirely to vacation, and the last two weeks entirely to vacation, but would do his absolute best for three days right in the middle to finishing all of his homework then. Shuuto said he was the type to never do his homework and run away from the teachers. In the first session when this question was asked, there was actually a child in the audience (she looked maybe about 8?) and he noticed her and kind of immediately backtracked and said to her directly, “But that’s not good, okay? I did a bad thing, you have to do your summer homework.”

Tatsuya apparently really likes camping by himself, winter camping, and recently has started buying more and more camping gear. He invited Ken-chan to go camping with him, and Ken-chan said he’d go, and Shuuto just flat out immediately refused, going, “Nope, it’s summer, there are too many bugs.” And they were like, “Didn’t you want to be stronger? Don’t you not turn on your air conditioning for that?” And he was just like, “This is different.” Tatsuya mentioned recently buying an axe for camping purposes, and very casually said, “Between a knife and an axe, I prefer an axe, you know?” And everyone else was just like, “I have literally never thought about that. Nobody thinks about that.”

There was a question about favorite places they’ve visited when traveling, maybe for work, and it got sidetracked because they started talking about weird experiences in different places. So Ken-chan went to this kind of foresty and mountainy area for a shoot and they were filming at night and in the distance they could see a weird red light. They thought maybe it’s the SDF (Japanese Self Defense Force) or maybe a matsuri, except it was like 1am, so Ken-chan and several others went to go check it out. And as they were getting closer, the light moved up, grew into a bright orb, and then suddenly vanished. So they all thought they saw a UFO. He also says half the people he tells this story to don’t believe him, but Tatsuya believed him because he then talked about a ghost encounter inside a theater he was performing in. He was crawling in the space under the stage to get to the other side of the stage and there was someone in front of him that wasn’t supposed to be there because he was supposed to be first in line getting out, so he tried crawling faster to catch up, but when he turned this one corner, nobody was there. And then they all agreed that there are definitely haunted theaters everywhere.

When asked if there was anything recent that they started getting into, all of their answers were for super old franchises. Ken-chan talked about getting into Pokemon cards for the first time, meeting up and playing games with Shouhei (1st Nishinoya from Engeki Haikyuu), and Tatsuya talked about how it was hard to collect Pokemon cards as a kid because you don’t have money, but as an adult you can go all in and really build the decks you want so it’s more satisfying as an adult to play the card game. Shuuto for some reason listed Dragonball, and when asked what his favorite season or version he liked, he said, “All of it.” And they were like, oh come on pick a favorite, and he was like, “It’s not about that. It’s about the world.”

There was another question that asked them to compliment the person on their right, but they were sitting in a line on stage and there was nobody to Shouma’s right, so then they all stood up in a 4-person circle, arms around each other other and touching foreheads and the emcee was like THE AUDIENCE CAN’T SEE YOU IF YOU DO THAT, SIT BACK DOWN.

So Ken-chan complimented Shuuto saying that he’s really kind and this is because he pays a lot of attention to the people around him and knows how to read people’s moods. When Shuuto was complimenting Tatsuya, he started listing things going, “Well he’s an idiot...” And everyone else was like, “...in a good way, right?” And he was like yes yes, in a good way. And then “He’s loud...” The emcee added, “In a good way.” Followed by “He’s clumsy,” and the emcee went, “In a good way—I shouldn’t have to be adding these!!” But since Tatsuya didn’t really know Shouma because they were meeting for the first time, Shouma said it was okay, they could skip him, but the others insisted that Tatsuya could pull it off. So Tatsuya looked at Shouma very carefully and went, “His hair looks like Trunks. A small, good-looking face... great smile!” And it was super cute and adorable honestly. Then the emcee told Tatsuya and Shuuto to compliment Ken-chan, since it’s his event and all, so they both talked about how warm and inviting he is as a person, and they thought it was wonderful how much thought and effort he put into planning his events, even if he asks them to do ridiculous things, it’s with such genuine enthusiasm they’re happy to go along with his whims.

3) Etude improv skits

And now for my favorite, the improv skits that Ken-chan always does at his events. They did three every session, and these were probably some of the best I’ve ever seen because Tatsuya and Shuuto were so great and the dynamic between the three of them was so fun. I’m not going to remember all of these and not in exact order, but the first one they did was in a bathhouse. There was always one that was idol themed because of the whole Atashi thing lol.

Bathhouse This one was a bit of a mess because the others took these little buckets and put them over their crotches like men do in public baths, Shouma was pretending to be a cleaner/staff going around mopping and cleaning, but then Ken-chan out of nowhere decided he was going to be an old woman so he was covering his chest and pinching his thighs together and shrieking any time any of the others got near him, “Iyaaahh!! A man!! What are you doing here?!” So then Tatsuya and Shuuto sort of... semi-switched to being women too, and Ken-chan walked through the audience to the back of the room, complaining like comical old ladies do, but there were staff members in the back of the room working the projector and the music, so he got annoyed that there were men even in the back lololol. And then Tatsuya clutched his chest on-stage and fell over like he was in pain, so Shuuto shoved Shouma at him going, “HELP, do something!” And Shouma bent down next to Tatsuya, checked his condition, and then screamed, “SHE’S GIVING BIRTH!!!!” Which then had all of them pulling open Tatsuya’s legs and getting up into his crotch while screaming the entire time and I just... I could not breathe. But then it turned out Tatsuya was fine, but then Ken-chan fell over so they started spreading his legs to help deliver a baby and it was just... so much. I don’t even remember how it ended, just that it was a mess lol.

They actually do the bathhouse prompt twice, in the first session and then the third session because they wanted to try and see if they could do it better the second time around. They couldn’t lolololol. But that one had Shuuto, Shouma, and Ken-chan just constantly avoiding Tatsuya and leaving him behind while he kept trying to be part of the group and was whining that they kept leaving him. At one point they get ready to leave without him, and this involved Shuuto going and grabbing Tatsuya’s actual backpack from off-stage and bringing back an earlier joke about Tatsuya’s solo camping. Ken-chan commented on how cool the backpack was, and Shuuto went, “It’s great for camping! And you know, between a knife and an axe, I much prefer an axe!”

Mermaid princess This one started with Shouma on the chairs rowing like he was on a boat, and Tatsuya wiggled (swam) over and said hi to him, which resulted in Shouma just shrieking like a maniac and passing out. Because that’s what anyone would do when confronted with a mermaid I guess. So then Tatsuya got all grumpy and pouty because she just wants to become a human, but, “All these human men are useless!” which, I mean, mood. Shuuto grabbed 4 of the uchiwa off the table and made makeshift crab claws out of them to hold in his hands and walked sideways across the stage singing “Under the Sea” and then Ken-chan showed up as some other unspecified undersea presence and tries to convince Tatsuya to stay in the sea. And then Shouma revived himself and went, “I’m not a man, I’M A WITCH!!!” And offered Tatsuya the chance to become human, but Ken-chan grabbed Tatsuya’s arm and dramatically spun him around and HELD him REAL CLOSE and was just like, “Don’t go, stay.” And suddenly it got WEIRDLY romantic and the witch came around going, “Don’t be fooled by his--” and Tatsuya just went, “Shut up for a sec!” And just stared longingly into Ken-chan's eyes!??!?! He put his hand on Ken-chan's arm to start, and then it moved to his chest, and he kept inching closer, and Ken-chan kept inching closer and it was kind of like gay chicken except that NEITHER WAS BACKING DOWN and eventually they got to touching foreheads and Tatsuya whispering throatily, “I’ll stay with you,” and it was just A LOT. OKAY. A LOT. I basically watched my teenage-actor-crush and my adult-actor-crush nearly kiss and it was TOO. MUCH. Shuuto and the emcee were just off to one side of the stage laughing and generally staying out of the way by that point and even Shouma just left them be once they got to touching foreheads because it was like ooookaaayyyy you two are clearly having a moment.

Idol auditions For some reason, they decided that the idol auditions for this one would be done like a variety show and Shouma was the host of the program with Shuuto, Ken-chan, and Tatsuya auditioning. Shuuto was nervous and shy and could barely talk or do anything and mostly all he could say was his random generated number 3289 or something and Ken-chan was then number 56 (because what’s consistency worth) and was enthusiastic but BAD. So he kept stuttering and flailing around and shaking his hips nonstop but none of it was meant to look good. Tatsuya admitted he was only doing this because he wants to break out as an actor, which the host frowned upon, but then Tatsuya was actually the most impressive one lololol. Well, comparatively anyway. Certainly he was the coolest. But it ended with the host announcing that the three of them could be idols together and they were like yaaaaaay!

Pokemon In the second session, the first prompt was Pokemon and Ken-chan actually prepared a lot of things for it, so then they were like IT’S NOT IMPROV IF YOU PLANNED IT ALL OUT BEFOREHAND!!! But basically the 4 of them drew cards to see who would be trainers and who would be Pokemon, and then the ones that got to be Pokemon would draw cards to see which Pokemon they’d be. But Tatsuya admitted he didn’t know any of the pokemon past the first 150, so they told him to do his best with the first one and then gave him a second card so he could play two. Shouma and Ken-chan were trainers, and Shuuto and Tatsuya were Pokemon, with Shuuto being Pikachu. Shouma introduced himself as “I’m Festival Boy!!” because he was wearing a happi and obviously you never fight any named trainers in the game outside of gym leaders. But then Ken-chan went, “I’m RedYellowGreen!.” By the way, I was seated in the first row for this session which was RIGHT UP against the little stage and that meant being absurdly close to all of this nonsense. Shouma told Shuuto-Pikachu to tackle and he literally went and tackled Tatsuya, knocking both Tatsuya AND Ken-chan over lololololol. Shuuto and Tatsuya were low on the ground on all fours or crouching to be the Pokemon, and making dumb little pokemon cries the entire time, and when Tatsuya got beat on a couple more times, Ken-chan switched him out. I missed what Pokemon Tatsuya was supposed to be first because I was too busy wheezing but the second time, he was Venusaur. It didn’t matter though because Shuuto-Pikachu went over and shocked them both so Shouma won the battle. The emcee had no idea what was going on because he doesn’t know anything about Pokemon, but he figured it was good because everyone was laughing so much. But at the end, Shuuto again said, “This seriously wasn’t a proper etude! Don’t call it that if you—just tell us what you want to do and we’ll do it! Don’t lie!” I couldn’t help but remember one of the third-year videos Ken-chan did with Hiroki and Justin were Ken-chan was again a trainer and Hiroki and Justin were Pokemon and Hiroki had that really great Squirtle cry and then Hiroki and Justin attacked Ken-chan, RIP. (x)

Idol Dressing Room Shouma played the manager in this skit, who’s trying to sell them on this idea of being in this play with this one director. Mind you, their parts are things like “long-horned beetle,” and “rhino beetle.” Tatsuya and Ken-chan are arguing about whether or not they should, with Tatsuya being interested because of who the director is, Ken-chan thinks it’s a pain, and when they ask Shuuto’s opinion, he just quietly and shyly replies, “Let’s do it,” and they were like, “Well if Shukkun says we should, then I guess we should.” But as soon as Shouma leaves, Shuuto drops his shy act and comes over to the other two all casual going, “Man, I hate our manager, he’s so useless!” and they all start bitching about their manager which had the emcee CRACKING UP because that’s realism right there lol. But then Shouma came back with his happi wrapped around his shoulders because he was the director now and with a deeper voice was like, “You guys are going to be my new actors, right? Show me a demonstration!” and then he sits down and dramatically crosses his legs and Tatsuya starts off. Since he’s a type of flying beetle he just kind of throws his arms behind him and runs in a wiggle to mimic flying, and Shouma went, “No no no, that’s not what I’m imagining. I need you to be more... sexy.” So Tatsuya does it again but sexily and then Ken-chan as a rhino beetle stomps in but Shouma tells him to be more manly so Ken-chan does it again but this time with his chest SUPER PUFFED OUT (like how Shouhei was doing it when mimicking Daichi in Winners and Losers). And he just marches up to Tatsuya and goes, ”You’re a beautiful beetle. Let’s mate.” And Tatsuya just goes, “Okayy~” and turns around and Ken-chan hugs him from behind and they start swaying together and I just DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY KEEP— And then Shuuto came in as the long-horned beetle and just started pulling and plucking at their hair and that ended the scene which... you know. Okay. I don’t really know how the idol dressing room prompt ended this way but it sure did.

Evil Organization This one was so campy I was dying real bad. Shouma put a chair on himself and called himself the chair monster and I think he was like, trying to hire Shuuto and Tatsuya from their ‘evil organization’ to help wreak havoc so he was telling them to demonstrate acts of eeeeevillll. So Shuuto went first, pulled up one of the chairs, and put his foot on it. And they were like, OH MY GOD THAT’S SO EEEVILLLLL. PUTTING YOUR SHOES ON A CHAIR???!? I can’t even remember what Tatsuay did anymore but it was just as campy basically, and then Ken-chan made this dramatic entrance from the back and the others on-stage went into defense mode because they thought that he was making a hero’s entrance, but then Ken-chan was like, “I’ll show you evil! I’m going to use a chair not as intended!” and laid a chair on its back on the floor and awkwardly lay across it going, “How easy it is to sleep in this chair!!” After the skit they were all asking him, “Were you one of the evil guys?” Ken-chan replied that he was being their leader and they all went, “THEN WHY DID YOU DO A HERO’S ENTRANCE? COMING UP FROM THE BACK LIKE THAT?!”

Idol group break-up This one starts with Atashi at their final performance before breaking up basically, but also starts with Tatsuya bragging about his solo debut, which is super upsetting for Ken-chan, and Shuuto continues to just be quiet and off the corner, unbothered because he just cares SO LITTLE about being an idol lolololol. Ken-chan kept going, “Shukkun! Aren’t you upset? Doesn’t this bother you? We’re supposed to be a team!” And he just kept going “...not really.” By the end though, they look out at the venue from where they are on-stage, the magnificent Tokyo Dome, with all its bright lights... all the sponsor ads in the distance (cue raucous laughter from the emcee)... and they get overwhelmed with emotion and decide that they’ll do their best together for their final concert. Shuuto just stands quietly next to them and they’re like, “Are you overwhelmed, Shukkun? Are you moved?!” And he just goes, “...not really.”

High School girls I’m just gonna say that Shuuto and Ken-chan make the WORST high school girls. They were getting the speech patterns down, deciding to go the Mean Girls route instead of just normal high school girls, and they kept teasing and sexually harassing the teacher, Shouma. Shuuto just sat spread eagle in his chair, pretended to lift up his skirt and was just fanning his crotch, and Ken-chan commenting on the cute pattern of his underwear before just LIFTING BOTH LEGS UP INTO THE AIR WIDE APART like, “Look at mine!!” and then were like, “oh my gawwwdd, put your legs down, we can see everything!” and Shouma as the teacher was just like GIRLS PAY ATTENTION TO THE LESSION. Ken-chan kept... lifting his legs up in a split... I just... SIR YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR CROTCH AWAY PLEASE. But then the girls start gossiping about how it’s the teacher’s last day, and Shouma then does turn and says that because it’s his last day, he does have a confession he wants to make. Tatsuya stands and shyly puts his hands together because he was playing the girl that had a crush on the teacher, but Shouma goes to Shuuto instead who was like, “Ehhh??? Gross!!!” and then Shouma went, “...then... Ken-chan!” and Ken-chan was like, “Why am I a second choice?!” They eventually pull the emcee into the skit too, making him the principal who starts yelling at Shouma and the girls then start adding stories like, “And he touched us! He’s a pervert, a pervert!” When Tatsuya joins in, Shouma goes, ”Okay hang on, I definitely never touched Takkun!” and outs himself for the others. Sadly the principal is a creep too because he’s mad, but he eventually yells, “You lucky bastard!” and the girls are like, “EHH!! EVEN THE PRINCIPAL!!!” and that’s how that one ended.

4) Prizes For the raffle prizes, Ken-chan took solo polaroids there on the spot and also gave away one of his handmade uchiwa per session. My friend actually won one of the polaroids in the first session! The uchiwa went with the idol theme obviously, but he’d also asked us to make our own to bring to the event, because he would sign ours! I didn’t know that when I made mine because the autograph announcement was like, only a couple days before the event, but yeah that’s really atypical of actor events too.

Below is the one I made; the first uchiwa I’ve ever made actually! It was a lot of fun.

5) Polaroids and autographs I actually got two cheki with Ken-chan and one with Tatsuya during the first two sessions because I just couldn’t let the opportunity pass. When I showed Ken-chan my uchiwa, he was very happy and impressed and signed both sides of it “just in case” it would rub off on the plastic side. Since he always allows a little more time for each person, I told him how happy I was to be able to make the trip from America to see him again, and he smiled wonderfully and thanked me for making the trip. When I went back for another cheki in the second session, I asked him for a “fun pose” so he offered to do the big heart with both our arms and then told me to pull out my uchiwa again so he could sign it again “since you came back a second time all the way from Seattle.” He’s soooo sweet!!!

When I got my polaroid with Tatsuya, I told him that I’d been a fan of him since his Burimyu days and his eyes popped open like, “Oh wow! That’s a really long time!” And then he put his arm around me for a HUG basically, which is also SUPER RARE for fan events so I was very shook, but also my heart was soaring. And then as I was leaving, he said, “Thank you for supporting me for so long, I hope I can keep meeting your expectations!”

For all my younger followers who don’t yet have the income and means to travel and are afraid of missing out, don’t be! It might take 10+ years before you can meet your favorite Japanese stage actor, and maybe it’s in entirely different circumstances than you could ever expect, but never say never!!! It can still happen!

Overall, this is what I love about Ken-chan's events. They’re never very big, which is on purpose, in small venues with close quarters, so that he can make them feel more intimate and personal and so that he can take more time for each person for cheki or for handing us the merch himself as we buy it beforehand. He does so much that’s so atypical of other actor events, and a large part of that is because he’s independent and doesn’t belong to a major agency, hence fewer rules, and the other part is because that’s what Ken-chan loves to do. He really wants to be really close to his fans, and other actors he has as guests comment on it all the time. He’s not afraid to be embarrassing or ridiculous in front of us, and it’s always great in some ways to see the guests he brings and who will go along with his shenanigans. With this group, Tatsuya and Shuuto are both over 30, in fact, they’re both older than Ken-chan (who’ll be turning 31 in September), and I think that also made for a much more off-the-cuff show because they’re all veterans and they’re so comfortable with themselves. I don’t really know Tatsuya to do events, but he kept saying he had a great time and was real sad during the third session that they were now done. Maybe he’ll be inspired to have his own fan events soon! I’m sure Ken-chan can help him brainstorm.

I feel like this day had about a dozen dreams come true, even dreams I never had prior to this day, so I had a wonderful, amazing time, and I really hope I get another opportunity in the future!

A cute HC for Miyusawa: Miyuki becomes a undercover body Model (after being scouted) instantly recognized by the one and only Sawamura during his final year of high school. After Sawamura found out, the team finds out and chaos ensues

Omg this is so cute! So I tried writing it and I forgot that supposedly Miyuki’s already gone pro and Eijun should be on his final year so sadly this turns out differently.

Annnnd I apologize if this is bad cause I wrote it for like half an hour, and my grammar sucks.

So in this one, Eijun is still a first-year and Miyuki is the captain. AHHHHHHHHH I’ll try rewriting this as pro!miyuki and 3rdyr!Sawamura but I’m still busy with college right now so please bear with this one instead.

————

As he stepped inside the cafeteria, he noticed a bunch of his teammates was huddled in some table. He quickly made his way to his pink-haired friend and take a sit oppositely to Furuya who is trying not to fall asleep while eating.

“What’s the commotion, Haruchi?” He asked as he takes a glance across the room.

“They’re looking to some sports magazine, Eijun-kun. And you should get your fair share of food before the others eat everything.” Haruichi replied and smile when he saw his friend scramble to get up and get his lunch to the cafeteria lady while shouting “LEAVE ME SOME PLEASE!!!”

When Eijun got his portion, he bowed and quickly offer his thanks to the cafeteria lady. He started to make his way back to his friends when he noticed his teammates again who were, haruchi said, looking to some sports magazine. Curiosity got the best of him and he made a beeline to where Kanemaru is hunching down and situate himself across the blond.

“Hey what’s that?”

Several heads turned when his voice rang out the table. Scratching his head, Kanemaru answered, “We’re looking for a new sports shirt and we heard that this magazine is really popular for sports attire.”

Kuramochi snorts and rolls his eyes, “Well no wonder it’s popular, seriously, it’s like their selling bodies instead of things!!!” His green-haired senpai exclaimed while waving his hand to show his frustration.

Gleaming gold eyes stares back at Kuramochi and he asked, “What do you mean they’re selling bodies?”

Kuramochi sighs I forgot, Sawamura is an idiot. “No no no. I’m not explaining it to you. You’re too stupid to understand it anyway.” Kuramochi snickers as he reached across Sawamura to smack him on the head.

Eijun winced as he strongly disagrees with Kuramochi’s statement, “I AM NOT THAT STUPID!!!!!”

So, you do really admit that you’re somehow stupid. The rest of the Seidou team thought as Kuramochi slaps the table and laughed at the southpaw pitcher.

Eijun huffed as he swiped the magazine away from Kanemaru’s hand that earned him a “HEY” from the blond. He quickly mumbled, “Just let me see.”

His attention then turned to the magazine on his hands who is currently featuring a half-naked male wearing a white baseball tight pants that hugged his form perfectly. He gazed downwards and blushed furiously when he noticed the huge bulge in the model’s crotch area. This is bad. The southpaw pitcher thought as he continued staring at the male model’s body. Can this be considered as cheating? I mean liking somebody else’s body than K-Kazuya. His eyes grew wide, W-wait.

“Oi Sawamura! You’ve been staring at the model’s body intensely. Don’t tell me that shits turning you on.” A voice pipes up but he ignored it as he continued to study the model’s body.

“Y-you-san?!” Haruichi exclaimed. He didn’t even notice Haruchi and Furuya at his side. He gripped the magazine tightly as he rakes the body on the magazine with his eyes.

This can’t be. The chest, the mole on his collarbone, the abs, the little scar on the left side close to the ribs, the belly button….. this is not right. It looks like—

“M-MIYUKI KAZUYA!!!!!!!” He now wonders why his eyes didn’t fell out, his eyes couldn’t grow possibly wider than this now.

“Oi oi oi, don’t just casually shout that four-eyes name. Seriously, what’s with you bakamura” Kuramochi scowled at the southpaw pitcher form as he thought of the possibilities as to why Sawamura is acting like that.

“No! no! You don’t understand Kuramochi-senpai!” He shouted frantically, his hands shaking as he slams the magazine back to the table and he looks up, eyes screaming of disbelief as he said, “WHY THE HELL IS MIYUKI KAZUYA ON THIS MAGAZINE?!!!!”

Silence engulfed in the cafeteria, all eyes trained on the First-year southpaw pitcher.

“W-what do you mean, Bakamura?” Kanemaru manages to croak out as he glanced around the table and saw all of the Seidou team had stopped eating.

“THIS!” He points at the model, “WHY THE HELL IS MIYUKI KAZUYA IN HERE?!” Eijun throws his hand in the air, “THAT CHEST, ABS, ALL OF THAT!!!!!—” He stopped and frowned That damn tanuki. Why didn’t he tell me this? his hands formed into a fist as he tries to calm his heart down. No, this can’t do. He grabs the magazine and dashed his way to room 203.

“What just happened?” Maezono said and no one answered him.

—————-

A loud bang resonates in the room, He groggily stands up as he reached for his glasses and half-heartedly answer, “What did I do to have you banging at my door so early in the morning?”

“THE HELL DO YOU MEAN EARLY?! ITS ALREADY 10 IN THE MORNING!” The culprit replied.

He sighs as he made his way to his door with a scowl plastered on his face, he mumbles back, “It’s our day off, of course, it’s still early.” He turned the doorknob and came face to face with a magazine and a shout, “WHAT IS THIS MIYUKI KAZUYA!”

He swatted the magazine away from his face, “You’re too loud.”

“I have every right to be loud right now, Kazuya!” He perks up as he heard his first name uttered by the first-year pitcher, a swell on his chest, he unknowingly rubs his chest with his left hand as he tries to stop himself from smiling fondly at the brunette.

“Okay. Let’s take this inside.” The Catcher steps in the side as Eijun grudgingly made his way inside the room and drop himself to Kazuya’s bed.

“To what do I owe the pleasure to have my favorite first year visit me so early in the morning?” He said cheerfully as he situates himself beside the pitcher. The grimace on Eijun’s face didn’t go unnoticed by him and He snickers as he waits for Eijun’s reply.

The pitcher’s reply isn’t what he expected though, “Kazuya, what’s the meaning of this?” Eijun throws something on his lap and he stiffened when he realizes what the thing is.

“Uhh… That’s a magazine?” He answers back nervously as he glances at his boyfriend’s frame and notices that his knuckles turning white from gripping the bed sheet. “Eijun—” He didn’t manage to finish it when his back hits the bed. Eijun straddled his lap, hair covering his eyes and He jerks back when the pitcher slides his shirt upwards, revealing his chest.

“Oi oi you could have just told me—” He was interrupted again when Eijun slaps his sides and loudly exclaim, “THIS IS MINE!”

His eyes grew wide like saucers as he studies Eijun’s expression. His eyes stray back to the magazine at his side and saw his picture, well his body’s picture, on the magazine that he had a photoshoot last week. He quickly put the pieces together Ah, my Eijun’s getting possessive. He chuckles as he sits up and snakes his hand on Eijun’s back. He smirked when his pitcher shivers from the touch,

“W-what are y-you doing, y-you tanuki bastard?!” The southpaw stutters and circles his arms on the other man’s neck as he steadies himself on his boyfriend’s lap.

He freezes when a hand cradles his face and Kazuya noticed this, he quickly brushed the stray hair on Eijun’s face and he smirked, “Is my Eijun getting possessive over me?”

Eijun flushed but he immediately regained his composure. He scowls back at Kazuya and said, “You’re mine. No one else’s but mine.” His arms tightened on Kazuya’s neck, “I—It angers me, knowing that others can see this—” He slides his hands on the catcher’s chest and Kazuya’s breath hitched and he croaks out a reply “You do know that we have a public bath here so technically, almost all of the Seidou team has seen me naked.”

“But it’s not the same.”

He locked eyes with Eijun,

Copper meets Gold

“Yes, it’s not the same. They can see this, but they can’t touch it.” He captures Eijun’s lips and bites back a moan when his pitcher kissed him back. Eijun pulls away and said—

“I’ll let this slide today bastard.” And dives back for a kiss.

————

Back in the cafeteria where all of the Seidou team stared at the door dumbfounded. One question rang up in their head repeatedly,

How the hell did Sawamura recognize it as Miyuki’s body?

Then they all thought back when Sawamura shouted earlier, “The chest, the abs—”

A dark aura suddenly spread in the cafeteria as a green-haired man mumbles dangerously, “That fucking good-for-nothing captain.”

Then just like a lightning bolt, almost all of the first strings scramble their way out of the cafeteria and dashes to room 203 where a certain tanuki captain resides with one thought ringing through the baseball team members, “MUST AVENGE SAWAMURA’S PURITY.”

Furuya who was left behind at the cafeteria, with a stoic face, lets out a quiet voice, “Miyuki-senpai’s body looks nice in the magazine.”

Disbelief flashed across the remaining team members in the cafeteria as they stare back at the monster-rookie.

———–

Later on, a yelp can be heard throughout the Seidou’s dorms,

“WHAT THE HELL?!”

And no one even bats an eye when they heard,

“LET GO OF SAWAMURA, YOU CORRUPT!”

————-

Surprisingly, Miyuki Kazuya, as an undercover body model, was left forgotten as almost all of the Baseball team are too busy protecting Sawamura’s purity.

Anniversaries Part 1: The Best Laid Plans

((Here’s a link to the Prequel: A Little Magic and an explanation for this short series and a link to the Can You Wake Up? masterlist.))

Mark felt a twitch start in his eyelid as he stared around the room. “What do you mean, no one actually uses the schedule?”

“Well, things come up!” Ed Edgar said from his seat roughly halfway down the crowded table. Google had pulled up a calendar on the large screens on either end of the conference room, but currently all of the egos were focused on Mark. “We ain’t got time for no schedules and calendars, we got things to do.”

“But…that’s the reason for the schedule,” Mark said, putting as much emphasis as he could into every word.

“When have you ever stuck to a schedule?” Silver Shepherd shrugged, one of his overlarge gloves almost taking out Bim Trimmer’s glasses as he said, “Besides, Y/N always figures it out so everyone gets a turn in the studio sooner or later.”

“Something always comes up around here,” Dr. Iplier pointed out. “Bing’s missed half of his scheduled time because he forgot to charge the night before, Yan’s going to drop anything if it means more time with Senpai, and I’ve always got one patient or another to take care of. And let’s be honest, did anyone expect Wilford to keep to a schedule?”

Laughs came from all around the room at that and Mark gestured futilely at the stack of papers in front of him, then at the blue-shirted Google standing next to him. “Did you know about this?”

“Yes, this unit was aware,” Google said without looking up from the translucent screen in front of him, his eyes glowing as he tapped away.

“Then why did you let me waste all of that time yesterday?! I spent hours going through all of these requests and timesheets and trying to figure out who needs what, and now I find out no one actually cares?”

Google glanced at him briefly, expressionless as he said, “So that you can know the pain I go through, every single day.”

“Okay, that’s worrying for multiple reasons,” Mark said, making a mental note to have a talk with the android later. “But…but still!”

Dark leaned into view from his seat in the corner behind Mark to say, “I tried to tell you that you were wasting your time.”

“When do you ever not say that?” Mark asked, and then spun around in his chair to add, “Who even invited you to this meeting?”

“Wilford did,” Dark answered, giving a little wave to the ego standing at the opposite end of the table. The pink-mustached man grinned and winked as he returned the wave.

Mark sighed and asked, “Wilford, do I want to know why Dark’s here?”

“Everyone wants to get out of the room faster when Darkiboy’s around,” Wilford answered and the smile immediately disappeared from Dark’s face to be replaced by a scowl warning any of the others against repeating that name. “And I don’t know about the rest of you, but Ol’ Warfstache has places to be!”

“Wilford Warfstache has nothing on the calendar,” Google said. The android made a gesture with his finger and the calendar on the screens sped by briefly before stopping as he added, “Ever.”

“The best plans are the one you make up at the last moment,” Wilford answered with another wink. “And I told Y/N I’d pick them up after the meeting.”

“Where is Y/N?” Bim Trimmer asked. “We were going to talk about studio space, I clearly remember there was supposed to be a discussion on contestants—”

“Because apparently Y/N’s the only one around here who actually knows what’s going on,” Mark muttered, trying to ignore what sounded suspiciously like a laugh from Dark. “And the discussion is ‘stop killing people.’ That goes for all of you, no more bloodshed, no more mayhem—”

“Whoa now,” Wilford said, “Let’s not go overboard here. What do you mean, no more mayhem?”

“I mean, if Dr. Iplier has to perform an act against nature to get people up and moving around after another one of your segments again, you’re cut off. No more videos, no more Twitter AMAs, nothing. Got it?”

Judging by the outcry, Mark might as well have suggested that they cut off the WiFi. He sat back in his chair and let them yell for a minute, and Dark took the opportunity to pull over the now useless meeting notes and study them.

“Well, at least the budget wasn’t a complete waste of your time,” Dark said. “I’m almost mildly impressed.”

“Y/N and Google figured that out, actually,” Mark admitted.

“Amazing,” Dark said, flipping through the pages. “These are actual video proposals and draft scripts.”

“…Y/N talked them into it. And the egos use them to bounce off ideas.”

“I meant more that these fools actually know how to write, but that’s impressive as well,” Dark said. He looked up at Mark, both of them now completely ignoring the chaos going on in the rest of the conference room. “How much do you pay them again?”

Mark just groaned and rubbed at his eye, which was really and truly twitching now. And just ten minutes ago, he thought he had all of this figured out.

A couple of seats away, Eric asked cautiously, “D-do all of these meetings go like this?”

“Sometimes there’s shooting,” Bim answered, just a split second before a gunshot cracked the air.

Mark swore until his hearing returned and yelled, “Wilford! What the hell?!”

Wilford shrugged. “I told you, I’ve got places to be. And I promised Y/N I’d swing by the Brighton house as soon as we were done here.”

“They ditched us for the Septic boys?” Silver Shepherd asked, and a few grumbles went around the room.

“Now, now, it’s not like that,” Wilford said, waving his gun around in what he thought was a placating manner. “They just had a secret thing they were working on with them that was more important than this meeting.”

He took in the looks from the other egos and shrugged. “What? Like none of you have anything better to do?”

Mark paused at that and then said, “Oh, right, Seán’s birthday is coming up soon. They must be planning something for him.”

“The Septic egos are planning something?” Jim asked into his microphone as he looked directly into the camera the second Jim had pointed at his face. “Dark magics, perhaps? Could Y/N be being drawn into a deal with the devil or, perhaps, a monkey’s paw situation even as we speak?”

Wilford pointed his gun at the Jims. “Now what did I say? In this house, we use #spoilers!”

“Yes, sir!” The Jims sank back into their chairs and Wilford put his gun away as if nothing had just happened.

Mark felt the tension fall away from the other egos at that, even as Google checked the calendar and said, “Correct, Seán McLoughlin’s birthday is on February 7th. Would you like me to set a reminder?”

“I don’t need a reminder, I can remember my own friend’s birthday,” Mark scoffed.

“Would you like a reminder for the Host’s birthday?” Google asked.

The smile dropped off of Mark’s face and he struggled to hide his surprise as he glanced at the screen on the wall. There he could see Google’s cursor lingering over the 6th.

“I, uh…”

“The Host has a birthday?” Eric asked.

“Google is referring to the first day the Host made his appearance on the channel, under a different name,” the Host said. “The fans enjoy referring to our anniversaries as ‘birthdays’, but the day holds no special meaning for the Host.”

Mark exhaled softly but continued to look at the calendar. Maybe it would be a good idea to do something for the ego, and he definitely had to get something for Jack. What had he gotten him last year?

He…had gotten Jack something last year, right?

“Wh-when is Y/N’s birthday?” Eric asked, and stammered when everyone stared at him. “S-s-sorry, did, did I say something wrong?”

A silence fell over the room, as the egos turned to look at either Mark or at the screens where Google was scrolling through a year’s worth of dates, his brow furrowed, until the android declared, “I cannot find Y/N’s birthday in the calendar.”

“That’s, uh, because I never put it in,” Mark said weakly.

“You forgot their birthday?” Dark asked in the following silence. “You really are the worst father.”

“Mark is Y/N’s dad?!” Eric wiped his brow with his handkerchief and asked, “Uh, how old are you again?”

“No. No,” Mark said, first to Eric, then to Dark, and then added a third time just to be sure everyone in the room heard it, “NO. And we are not bringing that joke back. Besides, you forgot it too!”

“I was locked away in another dimension for several months, what’s your excuse?” Dark asked.

“Well, they weren’t always here, and I don’t know if we’re supposed to count their birthday or the District Attorney’s birthday, it was never really clear, and a lot has happened over the last year!”

“So, what I’m hearing is that we missed two of Y/N’s birthdays,” Wilford said and Mark immediately shook his head.

“No, it does not work like that. We just…missed one.” He inhaled sharply and buried his face in his hands. “Why didn’t they say anything?!”

“Are you really surprised?” Dark muttered, his aura darkening as the ringing gradually began to increase.

“Youse guys celebrate when we show up, maybe youse can celebrate when they showed up,” Randal Voorhees (no relation) suggested in a bellowing voice, despite sitting only a few places away.

Mark and Dark glanced at each other, then at Google, but it was the Host who said, “February the 7th also happens to be the anniversary of when Y/N first ‘arrived,’ but the Host is uncertain that they would wish to celebrate that day in particular.”

Dark scowled as he remembered holding your broken body in the middle of the hallway, surrounded by blood and glass, while Mark thought of long hours by your bedside, hardly daring to believe you were free of the mirror at last.

“That’s…a good point,” Mark admitted.

“If anything, it did set the tone for the past year,” Dark said.

Mark nodded. “Between the recovering, almost dying again, you, the broken mirror…”

“Not to mention they showed up just in time for that whole mask situation,” Dr. Iplier threw in, and a shudder went around the room, only missing the two youngest egos.

“Hold it, I thought youse guys liked those Septic guys?” Randal asked.

“Not those masks, it was—” Dr. Iplier shook his head and none of the other egos made a move to explain. “The important point is, that thing is gone now.”

“Markiplier and Darkiplier share a look, both thinking the same thing at the doctor’s words, before they turn and glare at the Host as if he is supposed to see them or like anyone else is listening. Speaking over the Host’s narration, Ed Edgar says—”

“Come on now, there’s got to be something good that came out of the last year!”

“Y/N is good,” the King of the Squirrels piped up from his corner, where he sat feeding one of his quieter squirrels.

“I appreciate the sentiment, but that ain’t exactly what I meant…”

“Well, by my count we’ve missed three birthdays, and that means we have to do something special!” Wilford pounded the table for emphasis, a glint in his eye. “And I have an idea.”

After the meeting, Mark slumped forward onto the table and groaned.

“Well, you can’t say the meeting wasn’t productive,” Dark said as he slid into the vacated chair next to him.

“This is such a bad idea.”

“You could say no,” Dark suggested, but he was grinning when Mark looked up to glare at him.

Too tired to deal with him, Mark just groaned again and wondered aloud, “I wonder if they make ‘World’s Worst Dad’ mugs?”

“You say as if I don’t already have one on order for you.”

Mark was silent for so long that Dark was almost surprised when he spoke again, serious this time. “They’ve been here almost an entire year now.”

“One year, and already your egos like and respect them more than either of us.”

“Like that was ever a high bar.” Mark sat up and looked at Dark. “What’s the real reason you came to this meeting?”

“Wilford asked, and I had nothing better to do.”

Mark narrowed his eyes. “And you were quick to offer to help with his plan.”

“Just call Jack and make sure he and his merry band of idiots are in,” Dark said. Without waiting for an answer, he stood and walked out of the room.

“Yeah, this is such a bad idea,” Mark declared to the empty room. But it wasn’t the worst one he’d ever heard, he added silently as he pulled out his phone and looked up Jack’s number.

---

“Hello?”

You called out as you walked into the kitchen, but no one answered. You frowned at the empty room and looked out the back door, but there was no sign of anyone in the yard, either.

What was going on? You had slept late after another long night, but that shouldn’t have mattered. No matter what time of day it was, there was always someone around the Iplier house. But there was no one in the living room, no doctor in the infirmary, no Host in his study. You even knocked on Dark’s office door, unsure if you were more concerned or relieved when there was no response inside.

You stopped outside of the conference room, dark and empty behind its glass walls, and pulled out your cellphone. Just as you opened your contacts to decide who to call, you heard the soft tread of feet on the stairs behind you.

You turned around, ready to laugh about how concerned you were just a second ago, but there was no one there.

“Is someone there?” you asked and immediately regretted the question. You started to walk toward the stairs when another creak came from behind you, the only warning you had before a hand dropped down on your shoulder.

“Hey—ow!”

You spun around and the ego behind you looked up, his face partially obscured by a white cat mask but still visibly in pain.

“Marvin? What are you doing here?”

“Hurting,” Marvin said, although he pressed a hand to his side where you elbowed him and straightened up. “You’re really not a morning person, are you?”

“Not when someone sneaks up on me.”

“I wasn’t…” Marvin shrugged. “Okay, maybe a little. But I want to go ahead and point out that this was not my idea.”

“Wait, what do you—”

The magician grabbed your hand as green sparks of magic spiraled up from around the floor to surround both of you. It faded just as quickly as it appeared, leaving you no time to react before the Iplier house disappeared to be replaced by a bright sunlit drive that curved away from you, its end hidden by trees.

“Well, look who finally showed up!”

You’d recognize that loud, booming voice anywhere, and turned in time to see Wilford come bounding down the front steps of a massive, unfamiliar house before he scooped you up into a hug.

“Now that both gangs are all here, we can finally get this beach episode started!”

Your question was muffled, but you could hear Mark sigh and say, “I don’t know, he just keeps saying that. Wilf, let them go before you break something!”

Wilford finally released you from the crushing embrace and you could now see Mark and Jack had joined you in the driveway, leaving the front door of the house open behind them. Through it, you could hear multiple voices yelling back and forth as a flurry of activity happened inside.

“We rented it,” Mark explained before you could ask. “Just for the next couple of days, to celebrate.”

“I had no idea,” you said, trying to keep the accusation out of your voice as you added, “Happy early birthday, Jack!”

“Thanks,” Jack said, but he grinned at Mark as if sharing a joke. “You have to check this place out, it’s crazy, but the real fun is in the backyard.”

As if that were an invitation, Wilford grabbed your arm and started to run, leaving you no choice but to try and keep up as he pulled you around the house, along a side path overhung by leaning trees. You barely had time to register the dirt becoming sand beneath your feet or the noise of crashing waves before you were out in the open again and looking down a gently sloping hill that led directly to the beach below.

“Now that’s what I call a view,” Wilford said, taking a deep breath of the salty air while the other three caught up with you.

Jack laughed at the sight of a couple of the egos already playing in the sand and ran down to join them in making a sandcastle, but Mark seemed to be waiting for something.

“You said we’re going to be here for a few days?” you asked.

Mark smiled, but his eyes were watching you carefully, trying to gauge your reaction. “Yeah, and don’t worry, we packed a bag for you. Sorry about the last-minute notice, we just, uh, didn’t want…Kinkiplier to find out about the trip, you know?”

“Kinkiplier,” you said. “The totally real ego, and not just something you guys made up to explain weird things around the house that I really wish I hadn’t seen.”

“…Yes,” Mark said.

Behind you, Wilford gave him an encouraging thumbs-up and a wink.

“So, uh, what do you think?” Mark asked.

Behind him, Marvin gave you a shrug, palms up.

“I think it’s pretty awesome you’re doing all of this for Jack,” you answered, and Mark seemed to relax when he saw your smile. “Even if you did just come up with at the last minute.”

Mark feigned hurt at that while Wilford corrected you on just whose fantastic idea this was, and together you all walked down to join the others on the sand. Later, when the others were distracted by Wilford’s determined efforts to drag Mark out into the ocean, Marvin pulled you aside.

“Sorry about this,” he said. “I know it’s not exactly what we had planned, but we weren’t warned about this either. I’d understand if you don’t want to do this anymore.”

You looked past him and saw the other Septic egos clearly listening in, even though they were making a show of rebuilding their sandcastle after the great reckoning that was Bing tripping over a shell and faceplanting into it.

“I’m definitely going to need a lot of help to pull it off now,” you said slowly. “If you guys are still okay with it…”

You left the question hanging in the air, and more than one of the egos gave you an affronted look at the suggestion.

“Why, of course we’ll help!” Jameson speech slide read as it passed in front of your eyes.

“What, you think we’re just going to quit on you?” Jackieboy asked. “That’s not how we do things around here.”

“Ve are Jack’s egos,” Dr. Schneeplestein said, as if that explained everything. “Ve always try, even if ve have no idea what we’re doing.”

“Which is a lot of the time,” Chase admitted as he carefully topped one of the towers with a seagull feather for a flag. He grinned at it and then looked up at you. “What about you?”

You looked at them and then around, taking in the water that glittered and shined in the sunlight, the way it was hard to tell where the ocean ended and the sky started on the horizon, and the white sand stretching away to either side for miles. You didn’t know how Mark found this place, but it was absolutely beautiful. Then you looked back at the house, where you knew the rest of the egos not out here were still inside, unpacking or doing their own thing for now. And you thought about what day tomorrow would be.

“I don’t know how this is going to go,” you admitted to the Septic egos. “But I’m still going to try.”

((End of Part 1. Thank you for reading! Also, in case you’re wondering where the Dad jokes came from: here, here, and here, because that absolutely happened after it got out Chase thought Mark was Y/N’s dad.

“The best laid plans of mice and Y/N often go awry”--I say before seeing myself out in shame.

Note

Hi,I'd like to request a matchup, please and thank you. I hope the length is alright, if not let me know. Here is the blog , I hope it works. Its a tumblr blog and the first part is shortships(.) tumblr(.) (com) (without the parentheses).I’m 5’7,dark brown eyes, brownish black shoulder length hair,I have light brown skin (not a tan), pear body type & I love wearing chunky bracelets and necklaces. I think I put everything in,I feel like I forgot something, but not sure, if I did let me know.

-Senpai: Ai ships you with …….. Takeru-senpai!!

-A lucky item:

Tea packets. At one store in the crowded market there's a small shop that sells herbs and tea packets. The owner has their shelves stocked with tea that claims to do many things. Able to help the consumer deal with things that may trouble them.

Lack of sleep, anxiety, and e.t.c.

So whenever you go to the market, don’t forget to check that small store for some more teas and herbs.

-First encounter:

It’s been a busy day at the cafe. You’re trying your best to finish orders. Getting slowly overwhelmed with the crowd, but you pushed through. You just have to.

You’re a table away from a customer, then you feel a nudge on your shoulder. Pushing you down. Slipping and falling on your plate full of drinks.

Your dress is soaked in warm coffee and iced tea. Even a slice of pie was crushed under your knees. You then quickly pulls out a towel from your apron, apologizing as you tried to clean up the mess.

People helped pick up some of the cups or plates. Some chipped, broken or saved from the fall.

That’s when the boy that pushed you on accident rushes down and helps. Telling you over and over it was his fault, telling you how sorry he is.

You just shake off his nice words, mumbling some back to ease him. You rush up, collecting the rest of the dishes. Running off to the back to clean yourself up. Not before a brown-haired boy catches a glance at your face. Caught off guard on how fast you ran out, quitting the title of ‘center of the attention’.

Recognizing those same features from a girl he knew before as everyone picked on the guy that accidentally pushed you down. He couldn’t help but think of someone he used to know.

The little girl that lived next door to him a few years before.

-Interactions:

Takeru will watch you a little closer after that accident. Offering help for the cafe or with anything really. Even told you that he could help with the after-school orders if he has time.

At first, you wonder why this upperclassman is being so nice to you. It isn’t until later he introduced himself. That’s when the questions that sat in the back of your head were answered.

You always knew he looked familiar.

Whenever you thought about the boy next door from some years ago, you got a bittersweet taste, but that feeling became a mushy mess. Like mashed potatoes with a touch of something sweet. Honey maybe.

You warmed up to him again, finding out that he’s still the same kid from before. Just with changes here and there. You slowly start letting him into your life again, meeting up to walk home after school or just stopping by the corner store.

However, you can’t help but put some distance between you two. Takeru knows about your trust issues, so he can’t help a feel a little hurt that you have these feeling towards him now.

Nevertheless, Takeru respects them. As much as he wants the old times back, he has to earn your friendship like he did before.

On a day out with his aunt and cousins at the petting zoo, he sees a figure that looks like you. After some awkward investigation, he catches a glance of the stranger’s face. Knowing those features from anywhere, he knew it’s you.

He never thought he would encounter you here at the petting zoo. He remembers would calm you were when you were around animals, always wanting to pet the nearby dog or cat you saw.

Then that’s when he remembered how you volunteer to get the community hours you needed for school. Plus, you had a little pin on your shirt that said so. Takeru tells himself he ought to go over and say hey. Before he could call out her name, he hears your voice first.

Hearing your long conversation …… with the goat. However, as weird as that may sound it…..okay it does sound pretty weird, but it was a conversation that still flowed together. Even if one of them just answered with ‘baaaaaas’.

You expressed your daily troubles. All the little worries that built up to a fear. A huge fear that killed you every day.

You weren’t always all sunshine and smiles, in the end, you were just a girl who has some trouble. Troubles that stopped you having peace of mind.

Takeru couldn’t help, but feel terrible. He felt like a stranger.

He has been gone for so long and everything just changed. Takeru felt like it was his fault for setting up ‘wonderful’ ideas and expectations without truly talking to you or learning more about you. The new you, not the five- year old you.

In a way, he felt that he has to help you in a small way. It wasn’t his place to do so, but he just wanted one real smile from you. Not like simple ones that could be passed in the school’s hallways, but one that a generic. One that said, “I’m glad you’re here.”

However, as Takeru makes this his new goal, he gets caught by you. Scaring him when you ask,

“How long were you hiding behind that tree?”

-Confession:

“You’re the best thing since sliced bread.”

The most “clever” line you wrote on a simple thank-you card. One that you had decided to write as you put together a little gift basket for Takeru. Just for everything he has done so far.

Lately, he has helped you with the cafe during after school hours if he wasn’t in tutoring with Touru. Washing the dishes or checking inventory for you. All to take a bit of stress off your shoulders and you felt like you had to show your gratitude for his actions.

You stopped by his house to drop off the gift, ringing the doorbell only to see Takeru’s mother. Who smiled brightly. She jumped up with questions, asking in the end if you wanted to stay for dinner.

You opened your mouth to say something before Takeru finally came in the picture. Saving you from his mother’s eagerness on having you here. Asking you why you came like this, is anything wrong?

That was your cue to tell him the explanation of why you were on his doorstep unannounced like this. That’s when the card that was tied on the handle of the gift basket fell. Reaching for it, Takeru saw the writing inside. Reading it quickly before a small smile appeared on his face.

“You’re the best thing since sliced bread,” he quoted.

Gushing inside with joy as his cheek glowed softly while the sun shined brightly. Making your hair shimmer in light tones.

“Dang, if that’s your way of telling me ‘I love you’ then I think you’re the best thing to happen since sliced bread too,” Takeru added. Taking his eyes off the thank-you card, looking back to you.

Watching his face turn to an eggshell white when he asks, “I didn’t say that loud right?”

And that, my children, is the story how our dear Takeru spilled the beans about his feelings. It also didn’t help when he was trying to explain what he meant by that after. Throwing out all his feeling about her and regretting it the moment they came out of his mouth. In fear of being rejected.

Only till you told him that to returned those same feeling for him.

-First date/type of dates frequented:

Small dates in the cafe or out on the town. Hit up the local noodle shop for a quick meal before going in and checking out the art galleria.

Dates depend on the weather. If it’s chilly or rainy then a puzzle and movie marathon are in order. Or if you guys want to take it slow, during November this types of dates are more common with all the essays deadlines or tests coming up in the school year. Doing this all as the cafe’s pets are at their feet. Sleeping or so.

Dates that involves going outside are ones that can be to the gaming shop or to an animal cafe to check the animals out. Trying your best to resist the urge of adopting one.

THE FIRST KISS:

Your first kiss went something like this- awkward and messy.

The first attempt ending up being the both of you bumping noses during a study date. Takeru making you laugh as he put in different terms in google translator. You found your old “Learn Any Language Fast and Quick” book. One that you remember getting a yard sale when you were young. Takeru was invited over to help prove this 10 or something year old book to be a scam. Or you could rule the world with learning a new language at record speed.

Instead, he was here making you laugh. You told him to stop, but it just made it worst as your sides started to hurt.

You turn around to see Takeru’s face, then BAM! It happened, you’re so close at that moment and you just go for it.

Messing it up with your poor aim.

After a while of plain embarrassment, the both of you tried to pass it off with nervous laughter. You held back your fears as you decided to look past it. Reaching the book, going on to chapter 4.

Before Takeru took you chin and quickly pecking your lips. His cheeks dyed in harsh red color as he mumbles,

“There. See that wasn’t that hard.”

-Long-term relationship:

You were a bit distant in the beginning, ‘ghosting’ him when it came to texting up until a habit was built. Texting him back more and more than leaving him on read.

He helped you so much in the cafe that you even let him come in early to help with the baking. One time you forgot about the whole baking part and ended up having a dance party as you listened to the radio. Not hearing the doorbell go and ring as the door was opened.

Giving Takeru a view of what happens in the closed kitchen. Not helping to smile as you skipped, slid, and shaking your way around the kitchen. All while mixing up cookie batter. After you notice him in the room, you made him swear not to tell anyone about your dance moves.

A new bond was created between you two. He supports you so much and the fact he’s straightforward with you is a perk at times. He just doesn’t want to let you slip through his fingers again. Letting you know how he feels and asking how you doing at the beginning and end of every day. Being there to talk.

The walks back home are pretty therapeutic, since the cold breezes and the smooth conversations can easily distress you. Soon becoming the cure for some daily troubles, of course, you would still have those days, where getting out of bed will be tough. -But Takeru will be there, texting you, calling you. Telling you sweet words and dropping some advice about the situation. From things he read or just in his own options.

This relationship can have two sides. The classic romance novel or the anime brother and sister relationship. Since with how much he cares and checks up on you, it’s almost like how a mama bear would be to her cubs.

He just really loves you. And he’s not afraid to show it. Unless you’re too embarrassed about it in public, then secret kisses are in order.

#Match-Up #Takeru #childhood friend senpai #writings #sTory #nightrainn2 #sorry for being late #And having no picture #We hope that you enjoy tho #Tell us if you did even tho it sooooo late #have a nice day

DokiDokiCon V2: Time to Save the World!

"Welcome to Daten City's AMAZING Annual Anime Con: DokiDoki Con!" The reporter greeted on the screen, many people milling around behind her, "This is such an amazing time of year, isn't it? Hopefully you people back home can find the time to attend our funnest and most loved convention!" Yes, many cosplayers, weeaboos, and casual fans alike were excitedly reporting to the convention center to attend their beloved con. A quick look around could easily spot some sinister grins and dashing heroic smiles! However... Strappon sat at the Abbey, shutting the television off and sighing. The last DokiDoki Con was a mess. Why did they keep these things going...? "Hey, any news on ghosts or anything?" Overshirt asked, wandering into the Rec Room. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I wonder what they're up to... They must have something planned if the city has been safe for so long..." Strappon grumbled, scratching the back of his head. There was a rumble above the Abbey, causing the two to look up. Strappon was struck by a thunderbolt. Overshirt caught the paper and looked it over while Strappon coughed the soot out of his lungs and shook himself of. "Hero." The boy read, giving Strap a perplexed look, "Well, then. Spoke too soon?" "I have a feeling I know exactly where this is going..." The Pink-haired Templar said, his gaze moving to the television.

DOKIDOKICON: HERO EDITION! What is this place filled with so many wonders~? Anime cons are the best place for Angels-- And Ghosts. --------

The convention was just as lively as you would consider one to be- Large amounts of people both big and small of all varieties and scents conglomerated into one large convention center. Some cosplaying, some just wearing what they would consider their best or coolest outfits. Yes, it was an atmosphere filled with excitement!

BRIT: Strappon looked around the crowd, almost in disappointment. How the hell would they be able to find a disguised ghost here? There were so many... People in costumes.

"Don't worry, Strap!" Overshirt chuckled with a pat to his cousin's back, "We brought the Angels! We should have a relative amount of success." "Relative." Strappon repeated.

KUMA: Pasties was at the main floor of the convention. She had gotten caught up with a group of cosplayers and was currently posing for a photo. When that one was done, another set of fans with phones and cameras came up. She gave a smile as more pictures were taken. Of course she didn't mind the attention.

OSCARK9: Gloves walks in the DokiDoki Con for his first time ever in Daten City. He was dress up as Ragna from BlazBlue, his favorite character to be in. For his first time in the Con was excited for him. Seeing all his favorite characters in the convention was inspire to see. Not only that you can see your favorite characters in cosplay, but to bring a cool weapon in a covention. Which he brings in 'Ragna Sword' in the convention, (don't worry, its only plastic).

"Wow! First time ever in a Convention. I can't wait to see what they have here." He said in his happy tone and off he went in the crowd of cosplays.

KRO: Another excuse to show off how obsessed he is with a particular MOBA, Shades was more than excited to participate in the con again. The last time was interesting to say the least. He scanned the perimeter to spot a familiar face but all he got was Strappon's familiar hair color. Sneaking up behind the templar, he leaned in and whispered, " ___Death comes... ___ "

COFFINCAT: Mary was looking around in the crowd for a familiar face, having not found anyone he hides under a vacant booth. He hugs his teddy bear. The little one was cosplaying Honey senpai from Ouran highschool host club. He takes out his little sketch book and he draws Gloves.

BRIT: Strappon screamed and spun around, punching Shades in the face as hard as he could. "YOU BLOODY WANKER. I WILL END YOU if you come THAT CLOSe to me--" He hissed before realizing what he had done, "--Oh, I am so sorry."

EMI-DESU: Tee hung close to his brother (much to his dismay) and looked uninterestedly at Shady.

"Wow, another Kylo Ren. I can't believe it."

Tee insisted on having him and Ovy cosplay together, and something simple. He adjusted Ovy's hat and black shirt (with a signature red R on it) and pulled out a couple Pokeballs. "Atop goofing around! We got a Ghost to catch right? Can't be that hard to find..."

EMI-DESU: *Stop

GAMER-GODDESS: "So this is a 'Con', it is rather wonderful to see so many people so eager to participate." Fib'yuh'luh giggled as they skipped up to the entrance. They were clad in a Sailor Moon costume that Thigh High had spent at least a week or so putting together for them.

"Yeah yeah, just try not to mess up your outfit will ya? It'd be a shame if something happened to it. I spent a lot of time putting this together, I totally forgot to get something for myself!" Thigh High stated as she kept smoothing over the Throne's outfit to make sure it looked just right.

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Fascinator walked into Doki Doki con dress as Rin Kagamine, second design. He was wearing a skirt that were also shorts with a blonde wig and sailor top. His white bows twitched happily as he skipped in. He looked so androgynous that many people whispered if he was a man or a young Japanese girl. Knittens walked next to him as Midoriya Izuku, proud of his look. Fascinator looked around and pouted, he was about to scream for Jeokori, but said alien waved over to him, relaxing. Headphones, dressed as the fairy Kyu from Hunie Pop and reading his newly bought hentai. Life is sweet.

KRO: "No, you're not!" Shades was lucky enough to remove his mask before getting what he probablu deserved. He felt his eye shut from the swelling. Touching it stung, guess an ice pack is required.

"What a bossy Rocket Grunt," Shades commented, "Anyways, I agree. We should keep an eye out for... cosplays stars..." he said, squinting one sole eye.

OSCARK9: While walking around in the convention, he was looking around to different booths to see what they have here in the convention. While doing that, he spotted a little boy that was under the vacant booth with a sketch book in his hand. He wonders to himself if he's having any fun in the convention. So he walks over too him and ask him a question.

"Hey there, little fella. Are you having fun in a convention?" He asked him while giving him a smile.

BRIT: "Tee, we can't catch it with balls." Overshirt sighed, "Patience is going to be the best option at the moment. Maybe we can lure it out! But we have no idea what it does..."

"Doesn't matter, still gonna find it!" Jacket laughed, adjusting his Rocket Grunt attire. He grinned at Trenchcoat. "And we're gonna beat its face in."

"Shades, oh god. I am so sorry." Strappon whispered, holding his hand out to help him up.

SAIYAN: "We're gonna have great success now that I'm here" Tuxedo Jacket said to Strap. Dressed up as Gohan from the Cell Games, cape and all. The new kid on the block really made a reputation for himself for the short time in the Abbey.

Undershirt dressed as Vegito looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Please we're all gonna work together and find this thing" Undershirt said.

Wristband got dressed up as Android 18 because why not. "Yeah besides, last time this happened it took a whole team effort to take down Yurei-chan." She wasn't there to witness it herself, but she heard Undershirt tell the story. She still giggled about Baby Cop to this day.

Meanwhile, Bowtie was dressed as Satsuki in her kamui, trying to see if there was any of her comrades around.

KUMA: Eventually Pasties pulled herself away from the fellow Love Live cosplayers, giving them a friendly wave. If a ghost /was/ going to show up, she wanted to enjoy the con a bit before that. Since everything would probably slow down or stop completely after that. She looked back towards the Angels and others that she had arrived with. She could always go exploring the con by herself, but that might be less fun. To her, it'd be a bonus for the other person since they would get to hang out with her.

KRO: "Damn, you were aiming to make me blind again... I deserve this..." Shades held up his hands a litte defensively, trying to make sure Strappon at least touched the injury carefully.

COFFINCAT: A limo pulls up to the main entrance and Sneaker heels steps out of it. She adjusts her red glasses and she pats her dress. Camera men flocked to her and she sighs , walking right past just about everyone of them. She'd decided to go as Rize Kamishiro from Tokyo Ghoul. She stretched and walked over to her booth, sitting down as her assistance set everything up. Fox Stole dawned her best Tomb Raider cosplay and sauntered around, taking pictures with people who'd walked up to her. Mary moved out from under the unoccupied booth and ran to a stand. He took out his piggy bank and he bought an ice pack. He walks over to shades and he hides behind Strappon, holding out the ice pack to Shades, "H-here you go Mr."

EMI-DESU: Tee frowned deeply and shook his balls at Ovy. This was his first time out with his brother in a long while and he doesn't even take it seriously. "Let's go, gang! Last one to find a Ghost gets a bullet in the knee!!"

Trench crossed his arms and got tugged along begrudgingly by his parner, wondering how Jacket got him out of bed today at all. Oh, that's right. He BROKE it. He BROKE his bed. "Let's just get this over with already..." He grumbled.

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens ran from Fascinator as he does in every crowded place and runs past Strappon and Shady before screeching to a stop and looking at Shades with awe. He exclaims with excitement "You look cool! What're you?" Fascinator was about to stop Knittens but after seeing where he went he didn't bother afterwards. Turning back to his alien friend, he asks, "So how're you liking your first con, Cho-cho?" Jeokori took a minute to write down his answer and replied, "Didn't you say that celebration of costumes was a week from now?"

BRIT: Surrounded by so many people, Duster really just wanted to find Hot Pants and find this dumb ghost. People kept stopping him and asking him for pictures, calling him "Sephiroth" or something like that. He let them take pictures and moved on, hoping it would appease the strange people.

"You're too self-punishing." Strap sighed, and looked around for those medic people they always have at large gatherings. "At least Angels can enjoy themselves now... I wonder if Ampallang made it here alright."

"Yep! I'd rather not get a bullet to the knee..." Jacket said, visibly wilting for only a half-second before springing up again and grabbing Trench's arm. "LET'S EXPLORE!"

KRO: "I'm sure he made it here fine..." He blinked, looking behind Strap and smiled at the young child offering him the ice back.

"Hey, thanks." He said, gently placing it on his eye. Suddenly Knittens entered the frame as Tee's gang seemed to be off on their own shenanigans. Shades beamed with light, not literally, at his question, "Oh well, I'm a character called Reaper. I'm wearing an alternate outfit for him."

COFFINCAT: Mary nods with a little smile and he hugs his teddy bear close to him. He sees Kittens and he waves . He gently boops him to say hello .

KRO: A force yanked Duster from wherever the man was standing to the ground. The source? A grumpy Hot Pants who looked more than tired. In front of him, there was Chocobo in a baby carrier taking in the sights of the con. "Jesus, where were __you__ ? I like, turn around for one second and the next you were just gone. I have tiny legs, I can't keep up!"

BRIT: Strappon gave Tuxedo Jacket a look of disinterest and then put his attention back to the other Angels. "If you all want, we can separate and make sure we cover more ground?" He looked particularly at Pasties, who was... New and seemed to want to explore.

"I... Well, I got swallowed up by the crowd. So many people wanted my picture." Duster said, pushing Hot Pants off him and dusting himself off. "I heard there's supposed to be a ghost in this area... And I'd like to go back to Heaven sometime."

EMI-DESU: "Dear Ampallang won't be making it, I'm afraid..." A voice replied from behind Strappon. Out stepped a tall pale man, flicking his pink and purple hair. "I've been looking for you, tiny human man."

OSCARK9: "I guess that was a yes." Seeing him run off to do something leaves him a unanswered thought from him. ("Oh well, at least he's having fun.") He said to himself and continues walking in the convention.

KUMA: Pasties caught Strappon's look towards her.

"I'm okay with anyone else joining me. Just as long as they can keep up. There's a lot of things I want to see."

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens was about to answer until he got booped. Well, someone started the boop war. Knittens bops him back in self defense, but it was gentle to infer friendliness. Unlike Fasci, where Knittens tries to break his nose. Jekoroi followed up with another note, "Also... Are you a young girl or?" Fascinator chuckles, avoiding the question as he takes out a small box from god knows where, revealing the small figurine set. Jeokori's eyes lit up and his soul threads were almost wagging in happiness. After watching Sailor Moon together, Jeokori almost couldn't believe Fasci when he said he could get a mini version of his favorite character but there she was. If Jeokori could make a sound, he would be squealing. Headphones was chillind on the fountain as he flipped the pages of his hentai, every now and then remarking, "Nice."

KRO: Suddenly a sparkly and well decorated cardboard box slid into the scene. This was getting to be too much for Shades, but he just let it happen. Daten's weird enough. The box then sprouted two legs and stood up all proud and tall as two arms, one holding a microphone, popped out. "Hello, lovely monsters of the Underground! I'm just here to introduce a lovely little friend that's been looking for the priest. Be niiiice."

Shades squinted even harder at the person in the cardboard box, you can hear it. It was indeed Go-Go Boots as Mettaton. How befitting.

COFFINCAT: Mary makes a smol gasp and he giggles , returning a soft boop. He smiled and his cheeks dusted pink, "H-hi , I'm M-Mary. " He said as he offered the other his teddy bear for a hug. He sees Go-Go and he almost squeels in delight.

BRIT: "Lots of things to see?" Jacket mused, "Sounds like we'll work well together-- Uh... What's your name?" The Rocket Grunt tilted his head at Pasties.

Strappon blinked, turning to see a stranger and a... Box. "How do you know where Ampallang is?" He asked, crossing his arms. It was obvious the box was someone he knew.

KRO: Seeing Bowtie waiting around, what appears to be an old lady that came straight out of Mad Max: Fury Road came up to her. They grabbed Bowtie's hand and handed some homemade candy to her in the shape of little ghosts and bats. "Nice Satsuki outfit, nerd." The voice didn't match the face. That's because it was actually Hairpin dressed up as none other than Ana Amari. He just wanted to do a group cosplay group with Shades, don't mind him.

"Have ya seen anybody else from work around here?" He asked Bowtie.

Hot Pants would have crossed his arms if Chocobo wasn't strapped on to his chest, so he simply ruffled the bird's feathers, "Well, you do look like my figurine that I ordered some time ago.. ANYWAYS. You have a plan of action for that? Because I'm just thinking of blowing this week's paycheck on some stuff I've wanted."

KUMA: "Me? I'm Pasties," she said with a little wink. "Do you want go with me then?"

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens looked at the teddy and patted it's head. He wasn't too sure what to do but he

EMI-DESU: The white-clad man bowed lightly. "My name would be Dermal." He gestured to the peircing on his collarbone. "Ampallang is a brother of mine, and he's gone off to do important Seraph business, so I volunteered to take his place for now."

Dermal straightened up and looked around at the scattered fallen angels about, having themselves a merry old time. "Quite an organized bunch, I see. I think I have a lot of work to do..."

Trenchcoat pulled his arm out of Jacket's grip and pushed him out of the way, clearing his throat and smiling at Pasties. "Hi, I'm Trenchcoat. Jacket's got a lot of things to do too, so I'll go with you instead!"

OSCARK9: Walking back to the booths. He was looking at the booths to see what they have here in DokiDoki Con. So far for him was some comic books, action figures, and some video games. He wanted to buy something for himself, but it was so hard for him to choose.

"Hmm? What to choose? What to choose?" He said to himself while scratching his head next to the booth.

CRACKEMWALNUTS: was friendly, atleast. Fascinator and Jeokori looked at the sights with Fasci mostly talking. But when Jeokori bothered to look at him, Fasci was cosplaying as a completely different outfit and seemed to just magically transform into 707. What. Jeokori blinked in disbelief as he poked Fasci, making sure he wasn't seeing things. Fascinator tried to ignore the poke as he waved to Go-Go and screamed, "HEY NICE LEGS!"

KUMA: Pasties blinked at Trenchcoat's interuption, but didn't seemed bothered by it.

"Its too bad that he's busy when there's so much fun stuff to do here! Oh well!" She addressed Jacket, "If you find some time, you could meet up with me later."

She then turned back to Trenchcoat, "Thanks for coming with me."

KRO: Go-Go removed the box, as it was getting a little too hot. "But no daisy dukes to make a man go, sadly." At least Go-Go was appropriately dressed as Mettaton EX.

BRIT: "I didn't know you were that kind of dork." Duster mused, "Huh." He pet Chocobo before hearing another set of girls squeel somewhere behind him. Oh no, it begins again.

"Oh... I see." Strappon replied, rubbing his chin. "I wish he'd told me ahead of time... I guess you'll do in his place. You're a lot nicer." The Templar held out his hand to Dermal. "I'm Strappon. This boy next to me is my cousin, Overshirt." Overshirt gave him a small wave.

Jacket blinked and snorted at Trenchcoat. "Nah, he always acts like a dweeb around pretty ladies. We'll all go together! Pasties, huh? That's a weird name. Anyway, let's get goin!" He blabbered off, grabbing them both by the hands and skipping off in another direction.

SAIYAN: "Hey HP. Didn't know you were into Cross Dressing" Bowtie said as she grabbed the candy. "No, didn't actually. No one came with you I take it?"

"Damn son" Undershirt said as he watched Shades grab his face. He then looked at Dermal. "That's interesting. I didn

COFFINCAT: Heels exits her booth and she sneaks over to the doujinshi section of the con. She casually buys some Love Stage manga and she goes off , leaving her body guards in charge. She hears her name called on the loud speaker and she curses , going off to perform some anime openings. Out of many she was asked to perform , Lithium from Elfen Lied was the first.

Mary fiddles with his hands and he looks up at him, " D-Do you wanna um be partners ..for t-the ghost hunt?" He asked shyly.

BRIT: "Not into crossdressing? He's basically a woman." Amulet snorted, adjusting part of his coat. He was cosplaying Sephiroth, so he was showing more skin than he was used to.

SAIYAN: 't know that he had a brother" he said.

Wristband and Tuxedo looked at each other and then shrugged. They were in the same boat as Undershirt was.

SAIYAN: "OOOOH MOM GET THE CAMERA" Bowtie yelled at Amulet's comment. That was fucking savage Amulet.

KRO: Hot Pants jumped in front of Duster protectively, hissing at the mob of girls, "___BACK OFF, he's mine. ___ Come on, let's go before they actually catch up with us."

"Let me express myself how I want, dear. And I want to be a murderous old woman, so nyeh," Hairpin stuck his tongue out at Bowtie before looking away, thinking. "Well, at least there's the three of us." He said, handing Amulet a ghost shaped candy, "Here, try this one out."

"Yeah, Amp's got brothers," Shades chimed in, "I actually had the privilege of meeting one of his brothers that resides in Northern Heaven. Pretty cool dude."

EMI-DESU: "Well, it's nice for you to meet me, then." Dermal said flashing a sparkling grin, tentitively taking Strappon's hand. "Humans are so fascinating, it's a wonder how they could be so easy to manipulate."

He released his hand and placed it on his hip, gently wiping it on his pants. "But you are God's precious children and must be protected at all costs, I suppose. Anyway, we're looking for a Ghost that seems to blend in with THIS crowd. It could be anywhere, so let's stay on our toes?"

Trenchcoat's grin turned sour again when Jacket grabbed them both and tugged. He was the biggest cockblock ever...

CRACKEMWALNUTS: "I don't know, I'm sure at least one guy man." Fascinator replied, ignoring that Jeokori was currently questioning if the human knew black magic. Seriously, a costume change that fast? "Plus I'm sure your daisy dukes makes boys into men." Knittens nods to mark as he replied, Sure, I mean mom said no weapons until Christmas so... Hope you got something."

SAIYAN: '

KUMA: "Hmph, I don't think my name is weird at all," Pasties said with a little pout. She did go along with Jacket and Trenchcoat as she was was pulled. She looked around at the things they passed and decided she'd stop the two if anything grabbed her attention.

"So what are you two dressed up as?"

COFFINCAT: Mary nods and smiles ," My teddy is a tazer too!" He stood beside him and held his teddy close. "Do you wanna look anywhere in particular?" He tilts his head.

BRIT: "Follow you dreams, _dear._" Amulet said, taking the candy and tossing it into his mouth, "Where's the ghost, anyway? Didn't Shroud want us to keep tabs?" Something felt off about this atmosphere... He could see the Angels in the distance, along with Gogo and a new face...

"Yes... Staying on our toes is advisable. Well, let's get a move on and see if we can't find it before it causes to much damage." Strappon said, quirking a brow.

"Oh, we're Rocket Grunts from Pokemon!" Jacket said with a huge grin, "Our whole gang is dressed alike! Not my usual costume 'cuz I like to be unique and stuff." Considering his last costume...

Duster nodded in agreement with Hot Pants, still a little stunned by his reaction. "You know, I'm used to the atention. It's not terrible." He said, "You're weird."

SAIYAN: “Whatever” Bowtie said to HP as she munched on her chocolate. That still didn't change the fact that he was a cross dresser and she knew it.

Undershirt looked at Shades. “Huh, I never knew that” he said. He felt that it would be something he would mention to them.

“Maybe he has some kind of dark past” Tuxedo whispered to Wristband, causing her to giggle in her hand”

KUMA: "Oh Team Rocket!" Pasties was familiar with what that was, but she had never played a Pokemon game herself.

"Please don't steal my Pokemon then!" she said playfully and jokingly, "But what do you normally dress up as?"

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens shakes his head and replies, "If it's a ghost then it'll show up. Trust me. Wanna check out the latest edition of that mecha cartoon?" Fascinator changed once again into Viktor in a blink of an eye. Seriously. Can he stop? Like its so sudden. Jeokori was frightened at this point. How could this even happen? Is anyone gonna notice? Seriously? Headphones glanced over and waved to whoever and finished his first book. To the next volume.

Meanwhile, people throughout the convention were experiencing some... Odd difficulties. Some people were found and being detained by the con staff for their strange behavior. Someone had literally had to be fetched from the cieling.

EMI-DESU: "A pile of Garbage," Trenchcoat replied for him. "But that's his usual attire, not a costume." Trench tried to pull his arm out of Jacket's iron grip with no avail.

BRIT: "Hey, now!" Jacket shouted at him, "I was a couple things last time... A couple things at once. I was a duelist, Akira, Ness..." He counted the things we was, but it was difficult to remember.

COFFINCAT: His eyes light up and he nods eagerly. "O-oh boy.. Um s-sure, can we check out the stuffed animals next?" He gulps a little bit , seeing someone floating on the ceiling ,"Do people here..n-normally do that?" He points to the random pedestrian.

KUMA: Pasties stopped moving and pointed at a booth that was selling various figurines.

"Hey let's stop here!" she said, starting to move in the direction towards it. She seemed to either have been ignoring the tension between the two or trying to find a distraction to stop them from arguing.

OSCARK9: "Man. What to choose for myself?" He said to himself again. Thinking of what to buy in the convention was tough for him. There was so many cool things to buy here, that one can't decide on what to buy. When he walk over to the next booth where a bunch of clothes is at, his eyes was caught his interest on a shirt that has a picture of 'Ash-Greninja and Ash' in front of the picture and its telling him that he found what he's looking for. "Ah, yes!" He said in his happy tone.

OSCARK9: *In front of the shirt

CRACKEMWALNUTS: "Nope! Unless they discovered anti-gravity stuff. So uh... Found it!" Knittens announced for anyone to hear. He should be captain obvious. Fascinator was definitely attracting attention as Viktor. Mostly Yuri on Ice fans. Good luck boy. "Anything good at con this year?" he asks, unknowing if he was even talking to someone at this point. The contacts he's wearing is messing with his vision.

KRO: "Well I think /you're/ weird," Hot Pants replied, "What, you want me to confess my undying love for you? Cause I'm not doing that. Too... /cliche/ ." He pulled along Duster to some merchant stands, looking at particular plushies and figurines. "Uh.. You want anything. Not this, but like food or a drink?"

"My, why thank you dear," Go-Go didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or not. But they did have shapely legs.

What should be a simple cosplay had a fully functional mask. He activated it but nothing seemed to be getting picked up, "If there's a ghost here, I'll see it before it can see us."

Shades took off the ice pack from his eye and donned his mask back on, "Anyways, I'm gonna go into the booths to buy stuff. If you wanna come, knock yourself out."

SUPERBIO: Flying around the convention, The Greatest Hero was giving the honorable citizens of Daten City what they deserve! Everyone here wanted to be a Hero, right? That's why they were so willing to dress like them!

"Halt, Citizen!" He said to someone, "You look like you would love to join me in my quest to destroy the scum of this earth!"

The person looked around and pointed to himself.

With that, he was zapped with Super Beams and given a special power of his own.

He didn't feel any different, but taking a step forward zoomed him straight into a wall.

"Another satisfied customer!" Superbio boomed before flying away to find more heroes.

SAIYAN: Bowtie looked at HP as he activated his scanner thing.

“Didn’t it not work the last time you tried this?” Bowtie asked him, folding her arms. She wasn’t convinced that it still wouldn’t work. Meanwhile, back at the ranch. The gang mulled over Shades’ offer to go look at stuff. Undershirt seemed to be on board but T.J. seemed to have a different idea. “You guys are such nerds!” Tuxedo said to Shades and the rest of them.

Undershirt sighed. “Yeah let’s go. It beats standing around here. You want to come too, Wristband?”

Wristband nodded her head and T.J. begrudgingly decided to go too.

COFFINCAT: Mary hides behind knittens and holds the teddy bear close, the fur started to fluff up and Mary's hair fluffed with it, the little fella was charging up. " S-so do we attack it or d-do we run?" He asked a bit spooked.

BRIT: "Oh shit, whaddup?" Jacket said, backing it up to look over the figurines. "They got one of ULTRAMAAAAAAAN!" He posed like Ultraman. Way to break character.

"Thanks." Duster snorted, "Yes, I would love food. I'm starving and everything here is... Expensive."

Amulet peered over HP's shoulder. "Uh... Dear. There's a child that ran himself into a wall at breakneck speed." He said, pointing in that direction.

Strappon looked over at Knittens and then up at the person on the cieling. "Oh, bloody hell." He said, "Good job, lad." He gestured for everyone to follow him. That would be best.

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Headband looked at the ghost, and slowly rolls off the fountain and decided to help for once. Following the others, he adjusted his fairy panties. Knittens stood like a rock in bravery and responds, "Well it didn't notice us so let's stay away." Fascinator was just wandering around lost, his vision was blurring too much and he was tempted to take the contacts off. Jeokori stood behind Strappon and pointed at the person and held up a note asking, "Do humans do this?"

KUMA: Pasties got distracted looking at figures of well, cute anime girls. She didn't seem bothered by ones in revealing clothes or provocative poses. None of them were full on explicit, but they were getting there.

"I totally have to have some of these," she said, looking them over.

COFFINCAT: Mary swoons a little bit and he shakes his head, "R-right! I-I mean right." He holds his teddy. "I-I found a hiding spot , but you gotta keep it a secret." He holds out his pinkie for the ultimate promise.

KRO: "I refined the technology, so now it's fully operational. You're talking to a genius after all, these things get worked out pretty fast," Hairpin boasted. He was proud of finally making his scanner work. Hopefully it didn't fry his face, this is the first finished scanner he finished so anything goes. Hairpin quickly turned to the direction Amulet pointed to, "Shit." Too bad Hairpin didn't have a biotic rifle for healing.

Shades shrugged at Tuxedo Jacket, "You're saying that as if it hurts me," says the guy whose Twitter handle is currently cyborg fucker 2k16, "Oh right, you're the new guy. I think I heard some mentions of you from these two," He said, pointing at the twins. His plans were changed as Strappon seemed to have picked something up and skedaddled his way back to the Templar, "What's up."

"You're lucky I feel like spoiling you today and willing to blow my entire paycheck...I don't think you want something from Mickey D's, huh?" Hot Pants asked, looking around to see if the other Angels caught the ghost's trail.

OSCARK9: "One XL shirt, please." The man at the booth gave him the shirt that he want the most and Gloves pay the man $59.99 for the shirt. Expensive as it is, it was worth spending on. "You're coming home with me." He said to the shirt. While enjoying his buying shirt, he heard some commotion from the Angels right behind his back. So he runs over to them to see what's up. "What did I miss?"

BRIT: "I think I can afford something a little higher class." Duster snorted, "Really."

Strappon pointed to the kid on the cieling. "Our ghost is hard at work." He said, "Let's try to track it down. I think I heard some commotion about a kid running himself into a wall. We may get more information out of him."

"Those are silly!" Jacket said, trying to copy one of the sexy poses of the figures, "Wow-- This is hard!"

KUMA: "I think they're cute," Pasties commented while paying the person at the booth for the two figures she decided to buy. She turned around and laughed slightly at Jacket's imitation of the pose. She set her bag down for a moment and copied the pose herself.

"If you bend like this its more comfortable, see?"

KRO: "What, you want to go to those fancy restaurants? In all seriousness." This guy wouldn't settle for something like Mickey D's, huh.

"Hopefully the kid isn't knocked out," Shades added.

EMI-DESU: Trenchcoat spat out the drink he just bought all over Jacket.

Dermal watched Strappon as the other angels sort of gathered together, following their own agendas. He pulled out a PDA and started taking notes.

SAIYAN: “Did they tell you how awesome I was?” Tuxedo asked to Shades. Of course, it would only be good things. He was just that awesome.

Undershirt looked up at the ceiling and saw the man up there. “How the hell did that happen?” he asked. That was something new. He was pretty sure that that shouldn’t normally happen. “Well you don’t see that every day” Wristband said as she too looked up at the poor man stuck on the ceiling. “Think we should help him?”

“HAHAHA look at that!” Tuxedo laughed. He really wasn’t being productive. That dude on the ceiling was having a bad day.

KRO: "Really? A PDA? Honey, that's sooooo 2002. Here, have one of these instead." Go-Go handed Dermal an expensive tablet that must have been pulled from the ether, "Don't let me catch you with outdated /anything/ . Otherwise I'll provide for you."

KUMA: Pasties turned towards Trenchcoat and raised an eyebrow. "Is everything okay over there? You didn't choke did you?"

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens nods and exclaims, "Lead the way!" Did he know the meaning of secrets? Fascinator finally took off his contacts and could see. Strangely, he again changed his cosplay into Hampnie Hambert. Bless. That's when he spotted one of his favorite otome games apparently has a booth. He was literally a blur as he sprinted over to buy all the merch. That nerd.

OSCARK9: Gloves looked up at the ceiling where Strappon pointed to and saw a Men up there. "Ouch." He said to himself. If he was him, he'll be in so much pain. Poor man.

EMI-DESU: Dermal turned to Go-Go with a soft smiled and swiped the device out of his hand. "My, how helpful you are. I think we're going to get along just fine..." He said, staring at him with a grin for a full minute before turning back to the activities before him. "They still haven't caught the Ghost. How wonderful. I want to see what these broken angels can do..."

COFFINCAT: Mary raises an eyebrow and he shrugs, must be a custom here. He takes the others hand and he leads him to the empty booth. Mary crawls under and holds up the black table skirt for him to crawl under. "Y-you gotta be quiet o-okay? So the ghost can't find us." He whispers and pats the space next to him.

EMI-DESU: Trenchcoat wiped his face off and threw his cup at Jacket. "OH, NOPE. I'M JUST FINE. JUST... THIRSTY HAHA." He said half screaming. He kind of yelled when he was nervous.

KRO: "You're just saying that in hopes of making me feel better after your... /idol blunder/ that broke us apart." Go-Go promptly shoved the tablet back into Dermal's hands. If this kid wants to go, they'll go alright. To a nice restaurant.

BRIT: Jacket- now covered in sticky soda or something- wrung out his costume. He gave the guy a glare as the cup bounced off his forhead. "Yeah... Thirsty." He said.

TIMERIFTS: Onesie looked around the convention, extremely lost but ready to take on the challange. She was dressed up as the blue powerpuff girl, Bubbles. She skipped happily, not aware of the hell breaking loose around her, how could she miss it, who knows but she is. She wondered if any of her friends were here, since she wouldn't really recognize them when they were all dressed up

EMI-DESU: "Please, Go-Go, I know you missed me and my gorgeous face, but there are more important things at the moment. We can make up later, you know." Dermal waved dismissively at him.

KUMA: "It sucks if you're thirsty, since your drink is all over Jacket now. You can always buy another one though."

Pasties gathered up her stuff. She seemed a bit unaware of the real cause of Trenchoat being 'thirsty' and looked around. "Did you two want to buy anything from this booth or should we keep looking?"

KRO: "Oh, /missed you/? Not really since at least after you left, Daddy started giving me more attention. Anyways, I'll see you in a nice restaurant later, ciao~" And there goes Go-Go.

EMI-DESU: Dermal's head snapped around. "/Do not/." He hissed in a slightly lower tone than normal, snapping the old PDA he had. Oh, this was going to be fun with him around...

CRACKEMWALNUTS: "Sure!!" Knittens shouted, being an unhelpful child. Crawling underneath, he peeked out to see what was happening every now and then.Seeing Onesie, he waved underneath the table excitedly and shouting that he was there. Knittens is the definition of secrecy. Fasciantor literally had several bag fulls of merch of animes he liked like a dork and tackled Jeokori's back with a hug. Noticing Headphones, he shouts at his friend, "Dude, I can see your junk through that transparent lingerie, you wanna get decent?!" Headphones shouts back with his fairy wings fluttering in the breeze, "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME DAD!" "Nor do I want to!" Fascinator replies, changing into Beli cosplay to fit his friend's theme. Can Fasci even socialize with anyone else at this point?

TIMERIFTS: Onesie noticed her best friend, squealing excitedly, racing over "Knittens!!" she exclaimed happily "look I'm Bubbles" she smiled, crawling under the table with him, she just went with the flow. "Why are we hiding?" she asked him, settling in and lying beside him

BRIT: "Honestly, I'm for anything. But now I think there's a large commotion..." Duster said, looking idly off in the direction of the poor man that was in a wall.

"Let's go to another booth!" Jacket suggested, seemingly fine now. "I'd love to buy some cool merch for Ultraman!" He grinned at Trenchcoat, pulling him away from the booth.

Strappon furrowed his brow at the interraction between Go-Go and Dermal. Well, maybe they were old friends... "We can deal with the man on the cieling later, let's just go interview the man in the wall and pray he's still intact for questioning." He said, motioning them along with him and heading in the direction of the poor man.

EMI-DESU: Trenchcoat groaned, knowing it was his money he was going to be spending. Being wealthy was a curse sometimes, at least when you weren't in your cosy mansion in Heaven...

KUMA: Pasties walked along with them, trailing slightly behind.

"So what's Ultraman? Is he from an anime? A game?" she asked.

COFFINCAT: "Um.." he hides behind Knittens and he holds his bear tightly. "The ghost might get us if we aren't quiet m-ms. " He whispers as he gently boops Knittens with his bear.

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens proudly claims, "Well we're hiding from the ghost right now and letting everyone else handle it." He bravely accepts that he is the most cowardly right now. He pouted at the boop and grumbles, "I knooow..." "Anyways, I think the ghost is making people fly? I don't know saw a guy in the ceiling though." Fascinator was now carried bridal style by Jeokori who walked him over anything he wanted to see since he was done here and Cufflink wasn't gonna pick him up any time soon. Headphones forgot why he was there so he tagged along, even though a lot of people looked at his not so well hidden crotch area. He bought some new samples of yaoi and just sins in public view. Fasci waved to Jacket and Trenchcoat, giving a friendly greeting, "Hey! What's up guys?"

BRIT: "He's only from one of _the best_ Hero series in the entire universe!" Jacket said, waving his arms around a little, "He's a Super Hero from a show in the 60s that's been ridiculosuly popular ever since. He's only the best." He was grinning like a dork. "Oh, hey, Fascinator!" He waved at him.

SUPERBIO: Another few people started springing up around the convention with... Strange powers. Superbio started looking for new people to recruit when he spotted a rather menacing looking tall man carrying a smaller, more effeminate man.

"Halt!" He said, flying right up to them, "Sir, I do believe this innocent man can walk on his own. Unless you need me to help you!"

BRIT: Jacket stared in awe. This was the first time a ghost _came to them_. It was the most perfect time! He turned his Rocket hat backwards.

COFFINCAT: Mary feels the cowardly aura ooze off of Knittens and he pouts, how is he supposed to swoon when he's being a baby? Mary is the baby here. He shakes his head and crawls out from under the table, teddy in hand. "If I ever wanna be an a-angel I've gotta fight like one !" He exclaims with his chest puffed out. "Knittens, Ms Onesie c'mon!"

KUMA: Pasties also looked at Superbio. That was guy was /flying/. Talk about to dedication. When she looked at Jacket, she realized that guy might be the ghost they were here for in the first place. She pulled the top of her dress away from her chest, reached her hand in, and peeled off one her sparkly pink pasties. (It matched her cosplay nicely).

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens looked at Mary and crawled out with now resupplied courage. "Alright! Chaaaarge!!" he shouted, like he could do something. Fascinator changed cosplay into Yuno Gasai as Jeokori, bored out of his mind carried Fasci next to Jacket. Headphones followed slowly as he got to the very... Intense part. The explicit cover was tame compared to the raw stuff inside. "Yo! What're you-" Fascinator blinked at the ghost before clearing his throat, "Well I'm okay! Really." Jeokori was in no mood for anything. Glaring coldly, you could almost see the rage building inside of his soul. Well, who pissed in his cheerios?

COFFINCAT: Mary took Knittens hand and he charged at the ghost , swinging around his teddy tazer like his life depended on it. His hair was puffed out from the static the bear created. He lets out a girly battle cry while running with Knittens , in hot pursuit of that ghost booty.

SUPERBIO: "I see how sinister you are! Fiend, I shall make you pay!" Superbio boomed, igniting lazer in his eyes. This hit both Fascinator and Jeokori.

[FASCINATOR: Shoots eye Lazers at anyone he's attracted to] [JEOKORI:Lazer eyes that just cause the target limb to go numb]

He turned to the others in shock and Jacket and the others looked well ready for FISTICUFFS. "You want some too? HAVE AT YOU!"

He shot his lazers at them, seeming not to see little Knittens JUST YET.

[PASTIES: Stop time, but only when you're holding your breath] [JACKET: the ability to control another person's limbs, but only through the power of dance] [TRENCHCOAT: See into the future but only all the possibilities your current decision will do]

KUMA: Pasties braced herself for the impact of the laser beam. In doing so, she subconsciously held her breath. When she opened her eyes and realized she was wasn't injured, she let out a sigh of relief, breathing normally. She did, however, notice that until she exhaled, everything seemed like it was paused.

BRIT: Jacket screamed, but it didn't hurt. He blinked and looked around. What just fucking happened??? He whipped off his jacket. "Whatevs, dude!" He shouted, "We're gonna take you out!" He felt the urge to dance with someone, but it didn't seem like a good time... But he wanted to.

KRO: Shades blinked.

(( OOC: FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO FIGHT, we have our thread: http://dcmissionaries.boards.net/thread/155/ghost-superbio To new members; Please read the guide or ask a mod if you're not sure how it works! ))

EMI-DESU: Dermal, watching this hell unleashed before him from the window he was adoring his reflection in, slowly slid behind something more sturdy and started furiously taking notes.

Trenchcoat tried, shocked at the tingling that overcame him, started thinking of pushing Jacket in the way of another blast when he stopped. It was like switching through channels quickly and he could see before him the repercussions of his actions. All the death and distruction, he could see people he loved and cared about getting seriously hurt and those he could trust betraying him. All of this. All of it. He just slowly sat down on the ground and moved his hands a way from Jacket.

KUMA: Deciding not to hesitate, Pasties removed her other pasty. With a quick flourish, both of them turned into her knives.

"I can handle this one! A foe who can't hurt me will be easy to take down!"

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Fascinator yells in shock at the laser but after seeing that he was fine as well as his friend, he didn't understand what happened. He was about to say something but then he felt something stir in his heart. He flashed to every time he ever felt a crush but it seemed to pass. Fasci looked around in panic before he saw a rather nice looking gentleman. He felt his heart flutter, and burning feelings of attraction as his feelings gathered together and formed a mysterious ray of light from his eyes! It struck the innocent bystander and vaporized him. Rest in peace good looking guy, may you rest in peace. Fasci was in utter shock, but another ray shot out as these feelings continued! Causing an explosion of a far off wall. Jeokori looked down at Fasciantor in shock. Seriously, could humans really do this!? Biting his lip he felt a sensation coming from his eyes as well but he won't let this ghost thing manipulate him! Headphones groaned and took of his namesake. Looks like it's time to rumble!

COFFINCAT: MJ he continues his now silent sprint and he swings his teddy as hard as he can , aiming at the ass of Superbio. Moms spankings usually hurt so he figured this would probably hurt like the dickins. He runs and he trips! Falling right on his face.

(( OOC: Just a reminder for people, here's the Combat System! It's been updated: http://dcmissionaries.boards.net/thread/100/combat-system-works ))

KUMA: With both of her knives ready, Pasties ran towards the ghost. She intended to go for some quick slashes, but noticed everything had paused around her again. Then she realized she was holding her breath. She exhaled for a moment and then took in a deeper breath. She then went to town with her quick slashes and stabs, able to get in more hits then she could have normally. With an exhale, Pasties jumped back and admired her work.

"Perfect."

MLLERMANDA: A bad time to look for ghosts.

Gauges was very sick and had to force himself to come to this convention. Something about a ghost that the angels have to hunt down. "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan..." He whines to himself as he dressed up as Liang Qi from Cannan. " Out of all the days I could had been sick, it had to be during a mission, looking for a ghost." He wobbles side to side as others were busy fighting the ghost that caused trouble or seeing the scene with a superhero ghost. Gauges didn't like this and turns his head, noticing how the ghost fought. " And the worst part of all is that no one is notic-" He sneezes, " Me." And like that, hewhen he saw that, it caught his eye as he takes out his weapon, getting ready to fight even though he felt terrible and was weaker than normally. "Ey! Mr. Super Hero ghost? What you doing he-" He sneezes loudly as he drops his weapon. Stumbling around, he tries to attack the ghost.

SUPERBIO: Superbio couldn't move when she paused time and it left him with a large chunk out of him.

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens politely helps Mary up and pats off the dirt. He's seen Fasci mess up enough to know what to do. But speaking of Fasci, he gawked at his cousin and asked, "Fasci did you just kill someone?!" Fascinator looked at Knittens in panic and stumbled, "No! He's just uh.... In a pocket dimension. I swear!" Knittens shook his head, at least take responsibility. But lasers?! To all of the people, the most undisciplined!? Fascinator felt his heart beating of control as more lasers shot of his eyes, unable to control how he feels. The chaos caused only because he loves too many people. {HP: 25} Headphones scratched his head as he shrugs, may as well throw Lucky Hit around. Twirling his grappling hook he swings at Superbio, the sharp ends meeting with the ghost. Looks like Lucky Hit stood true with it's name!

SUPERBIO: He turned to look at all those around him and gasped. There were so many villains, even a sick one!! He tried to fly into the air, away from them to recollect his thoughts.

"You fiends! You're using your gifts against me!" He shouted at them.

KRO: Clearly ignoring his duties, Shades pretends to just now see the chaos unfolding in the convention. He sighed as he went back to look at the wares, not wanting another ghost to ruin this con. It was the best local con, after all! Hairpin walked up to Shades, immediately recognizing the guy's dumb bird-like cosplay. "....Candy for these trying times?" he asked, handing Shades a chocolate candy.

"Thanks, granny."

"Uh, well. I'm currently an ineffective human. You gonna do anything about that?" asked Hot Pants. First of all he doesn't have an appropriate weapon due to the rules. Second of all, he had his baby with him, he's not putting the rascal in danger.

BRIT: Jacket looked at Trenchcoat in concern. Was he going to be alright...? He summoned Dual Pride and threw it toward Superbio, just nicking him. Damn! He heard music started playing over the loudspeakers and got and idea, starting to dance instead of attack. He pointed over at Trenchcoat, and watched him start to dance. "Heyyy! It works!" He laughed.

MLLERMANDA: Gauges turns his head, becoming more confused than ever on what was going on. He tries to speak to Superbio as he tries to move closer to him. He whines as he speaks, " What gifts? I want one!" He tries to swing his weapon but just drags it with him instead. " Gimme a gif-" He coughs as he takes a breather and tries to take care of himself.

EMI-DESU: Trenchcoat gets up an shouts. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO ME BUT I'M GONNA--" He shouted, about to run and throw a kick when his mind filled with thoughts of failure, missing and hitting the ground like a moron, people laughing. Going broke, doing illegal things. So illegal he accidentally sells his soul to a demon. His brothers cackling at him as they dragged him down to Hell. He choked back a sob and sat back down.

OSCARK9: Gloves heard some fighting going on in the convention. Maybe the others found the ghost already. "Finally some action!" Gloves runs to the scene of the fight and spotted a Superhero ghost attacking his friends. "Well if he want to fight, then here I come!" He said to himself while he spread his wing from his back and flys into the battle.

"Alright Ghost..." He said to him while he change his gloves into Gauntlets. "Lets do this!" He shouted at him. Gloves flew towards to the ghost and punch his right hand into his abdomen.

COFFINCAT: Mary thanks him and he picks his cheek, dashing off to cut some ghost ass. He twirls his tazer and his bunny ears flow behind him. He throws it up at him and it wacks the ghost as hard as it can on the rump.

SUPERBIO: In an attempt to thwart his attackers, Superbio let out a sonic scream that would at the very least give them a small knick.

COFFINCAT: Pecks-

SUPERBIO: He took the hit from Gauntlets and shot him with a beam, giving him a terrrible superpower. [GAUNTLETS: Flying but only backwards!]

He turned to punch Mary-Janes, but stopped and took the hit when he realized he was just a child.

BRIT: Jacket sighed, picked Trenchcoat up off the floor, and started dancing again. "C'MON BUDDY. I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY!" he started singing along.

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens cheered for Mary and gave an encouraging thumbs-up. Jeokori grabs Fascinator, trying to prevent him from looking at people but when Fasci faces him, another laser shoots straight at him. Jeokori dodges in time but his claws suffered greatly, his four claw fingers vaporized. Looking at his declawed hand, Jeokori's adrenaline spiked and a laser shot straight at Fasci's arm, causing it to go completely limp. Fasciantor shakes his now dead arm and gulped. {HP: 22} Headphones cursed as the scream pierced his ear drums, man did he wish he had his namesake on to drown out this noise. He swung again at the ghost but it just the wall instead and got stuck.

SAIYAN: The amount of commotion going on caused Undershirt, Wristband and T.J. to look over and saw the ghost being battled by the angels. "Oh look it's Super Man" Undershirt said unconcerned as he took a seat on a bench near by.

"And you're just going to do nothing?" Wristband asked.

"Yep" Undershirt replied. "Look they've got everything under control."

T.J. looked over and saw that indeed that the Angels had the ghost on the ropes.

"Looks like they don't even need my help" he said with a cocky smile.

The three of them continued to watch the fight progress.

KUMA: Taking the sonic scream attack but not too shaken up by it, Pasties moved in for another attack. The set up seemed like everything would go according to her plan, but she forgot to inhale enough air and had to stop and breathe. Caught off guard by this, her attack missed.

She turned to look over at Jacket and Trenchcoat. "You can dance later you know!"

BRIT: "Holy shit." Duster said, watching the fight go down."Seems pretty weak. We should just go get food." He looked down at Hot Pants.

BRIT: "NO I HAVE A PLAN!" Jacket shouted at Pasties.

MLLERMANDA: Gauges takes a deep breath as he attempts once more to attack the ghost. Totally hating the ghost right now for not giving Gauge what he wants but was too passive to argue. He coughs harshly as he aims for the ghost, or at least tries too.

EMI-DESU: Suddenly, Trenchcoat couldn't control his own limbs. He felt his body moving on it's own, DANCING on it's own. He panicked slightly and looked back at Jacket, who was boogieing to the same beat.

"WHAT ARE-- YOU DOING?!" He shouted through the funky fresh beat Jacket was shrieking to.

Before he could struggle more, he felt his body lurch toward Superbio, and he punched him in the face with all of his (not really his) force. He felt the crack of his weak knuckles under his force and then crane-kicked him in the jaw.

He slumped on the floor.

COFFINCAT: MJ's cheeks turn red from Knittens encouragement and he trys again, missing! He pouts and runs, picking up his teddy. He runs back to protect Knittens.

SUPERBIO: Superbio screamed at the sudden lurching toward him-- WHAT WAS GOING ON?? He got a really hard kick to the jaw, and apparently a final slash from someone's blade. He hit the ground, almost in slow-motion...

"Curse... YOU!" He whispered from the ground, reaching his hand up before...

Exploding.

OSCARK9: "Ahh! My ears!" He said in a painful tone. Gloves was push back from the sonic scream and was hit by the beam. He blink and didn't feel anything different from that attack. He shocked his head from his confusion and tries to attack. However, instead of going forwards, his flying went backwards and went straight towards the wall. Ouch.

BRIT: "Good job, Angels!" Strappon shouted over to them, running up to the group. "Wow, that was surprisingly quick. You should work together more often..."

"Yeah, even if it was Jacket." Overshirt said, kind of in the background, "Good joooooob!"

COFFINCAT: Mary turns seeing the ghost blow up. He watches in awe and he smiles. In a fit of excitement he runs around with his teddy ," This'll be the best comic page ever!"

KUMA: The explosion was very satisfying. Pasties' weapons returned back to their previous form and she down into her dress to put them back on.

"Wow that dancing really did work, but of course my first attack was pretty great right? Like loosening up a really tight pickle jar! No need to thank me."

BRIT: "People should be back to normal, now." Jacket said, his dancing stopping, "I would have loved to keep that power..."

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Fascinator's eyes finally went back to normal and went red before all the trouble he caused. Oh boy... This wasn't good at all. Jeokori stared at his hand in shock, his claws were now stumps on his left hand. He wasn't mad, just.... Horrified. Knittens cheered and hugged Mary, "You did great!!" headphones finally got Lucky Hit unstuck before realizing it was already dead. Well that was a waste of time. Oh well. Back to reading porn.

KRO: "Make up your mind. Fine, we'll go to Gouda. There's one across the road," Hot Pants looked down at Chocobo, ruffling it's feathers as he started walking towards the exit. Scratch that, the ghost exploded, he took cover by a table, not wanting his precious child getting injured. "HEY. WATCH WHERE YA BLOWING YA BITS."

Shades tapped Undershirt's shoulder, "Hey dude, which one," he asked in reference to two identical figures but each having different colors. This was important.

Hairpin looked on at the poor ghost and snapped his fingers in disappointment, "Damn. Well, at least we know that ghost wasn't worth it."

COFFINCAT: Mary has little fireworks go off in his head and he hugs Knittens back,"Y-you really t-think so?" He pulled away with the biggest smile ever.

Fox walks over with a crap ton of hentai and a body pillow. "I leave for like two seconds."

EMI-DESU: Dermal walked out clapping. "Well done! Such coordination! I didn't think Fallen Angels were capable of taking down even a weak Ghost such as that! I could have helped you, but I felt like it would be a waste of your potential." He flicked his hair again. "Good job, Angels."

MLLERMANDA: Gauges turns away as he was happy that someone killed the ghost. However, he was irritated that all these angels were getting attention which in return makes him jealous. "Those lucky angels....Hmph." He tries to sneeze at the ground but ends up sneezing on himself, messing up the outfit. "Ugh. Why me." He wobbles towards a stand where food was at and decides to stay there for now, trying to get a snack during the process.

BRIT: "Yeah, but they got quite a few Heavens for that..." Amulet snorted, crossing his arms, "What a waste."

"Sounds... Gouda to me." Duster said with a completely straight face. He walked away from Hot Pants in the direction of the restaurant.

Strappon looked over at Dermal. "You... I take back what I said about you being nice. That was really back-handed." He said, shaking his head and looking over the convention, "There's so much destruction, and people are still having fun..."

SAIYAN: Bowtie looked at her watch. "Look at that time, it's a new record" She said. Those angels managed to kill that thing nearly instantly. "All that build up for nothing. Kind of disappointing, wouldn't you agree?" she asked HP and Amulet.

"Hmmmm...the right one" Undershirt said as the ghost exploded behind him.

The others just looked at the light dissipating and the heavens raining down from the sky.

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Jeokori bent his newly freed fingers, studying how they bent now and worked. Flashes of being just a boy went through his mind as he didn't know how to take this. Fascinator crept behind Jeokori and shakily apologized, "O-Oh... I'm so sorry Cho-cho,,, I didn't mean to, I swear! You're my best friend, I'd never want to hurt you-" Jeokori hugged Fasci, accepting his apology quite easily. Carrying him again he went towards the other demons, just not.... Looking at anyone. Headphones rolled his eyes at the Heavens and trots towards Fox Stole.

"Neat stuff, where'd you get it?"

OSCARK9: Gloves feels the pain from his back, but manage to stand with his legs. "Ouch! Now I know what flying towards the wall feels like." He said as he walking slowly towards a sitting booth while rubbing his back.

COFFINCAT: Fox stretches ,"Me? OH the last vendor by the corner. You should hurry if you want stuff they're packin up." She blows a gum bubble.

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Headphones nods as he waltzes towards the sin. Considering a job in porn dealing since god damn these people charge top dollar. Fascinator waved at Amulet and HP meekly, still feeling guilty about what he did to Jeokori. Jeokori still did not look at anyone. Knittens replies excited, "Yeah! So cool!!"

KRO: Hot Pants kept leading, only to stop abruptly to hit Duster on the arm, "I swear." How dare he pun to him.

"I agree with the both of you," Hairpin said, "Anyways, I want to get rid of this candy basket, so I'm gonna hand this off to the Angels. Unless the two of you want to keep it for yourselves." Seeing a hand being waved in their general direction, Hairpin pointed at the three of them to make sure Fascinator was referring to them.

Shades nodded and payed the clerk, "You have good taste in colors, just needed a second opinion."

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Fascinator nods as he tapped Jeokori to walk towards them, he joked a little flustered, "Lack luster ghost guys, but uh... interesting side effects." Jeokori finally began to accept his trimmed nails as he now started to appreciate how handy hands were. Neat. But he finally faced other people so that was nice. Today wasn't a good day for him, so excuse the sour expression.

COFFINCAT: Mary giggles and holds his teddy close , " You think my moms gonna believe my adventures today? " he happily twerls around.

Heels had sneakily recorded the fight and of course posted it on twitter, freakin worldstar kinda shit these days. She walks down the sidewalk, her body guards in random locations watching her.

SAIYAN: "I can taste the rainbow Shades" Undershirt said. The best comeback

"Yeah, I'll take candy" Bowtie said. "I need something sweet in my house. Unless Amulet wants some."

TIMERIFTS: Onesie looked at the two friends, feeling herself heat up. She was not happy about this new development "Hey, uh I gotta go. You know convention stuff" she flashed a smile before scurrying to her feet and making off so she wouldn't have to deal with this situation. She didn't like sharing and Knittens was her friend, and she wasn't going to deal with that.

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens was pumped and he remarks, "I hope mine does!- Onesie? Hey wait! I can join you! I'll be quieter I swear! Is it the shoe thing?!" He chased after Onesie, not getting those 'I don't want to see you' hints.

KRO: Hairpin shrugged, "Well, it wasn't ours. If we managed to tame it before it went on the offensive, it could have lasted a little longer."

"Haha, real funny," Shades crossed his arms, "What are you, the skittles guy now?"

Before Hot Pants could open the door to the exit, it burst open. Policemen entered the scene like swarming flies with one in particular pointing his finger like a gun. As if that can do damage. "ALRIGHT, WHAT'S THE EMERGENCY!" All the policemen including Necktie, the one sticking his finger out, looked for any signs of a scuffle but... everything appeared to be normal. How embarrassing.

"Oh...Uh. Wow. This was less destruction than from last time..."

MLLERMANDA: Gauges eats his snack lazily as he eventually goes to the bathroom for the moment to change back into his normal clothes."Hmph. Maybe someone will notice me." He notices some strangers who were with the bathroom with him and tries to get thier attetion by flanuting at them. "Like what you se--" However he accidently coughs on to them and they get disgusted, leaving the scene. "Crap." He gets out of the bathroom after trying to fix himself up with some tissues or in this case, toilet paper. He coughs and sniffles the whole way as he heads back to a bench that was at the corner of the convention. "Maaaan, today suckkkkkkksss." He whines to himself as he sneezes some more. Once, he did that he lays on the bench, trying to get some sleep. However, he hears the policemen and tries to turn his head, trying to see what was going on but quits. "FML." He whines to himself as he snuggles himself up, trying to get some sleep.

BRIT: "Well I hope the next ghost is more... I dunno, fun?" Jacket asked, looking at the other Angels."WELL NOW I CAN BUY MERCH!"

Amulet took the entire bowl. "Thanks." He said, stuffing a handful in his mouth.

Duster was a little shocked at the sudden influx of cops past himself and Hot Pants... Hoo boy.

"Can we help you, officers?" Strappon asked, "It's been a while since we've seen you here. Thanks for coming by, but we've got it handled." He kinda liked being cheeky.

COFFINCAT: Mary he laughs and he tilts his head, his smile fading as Knittens left. He frowns and looks down at his teddy , walking off to the booth of plushies. Ouchy.

TIMERIFTS: Onesie shrugged "Oh you don't have too!" she smiled sweetly, waving at him, even though she wanted to clench her teeth and make a scene "Keep being happy with your new friend, it's okay~" she giggled "Not the shoe thing don't worry. Hey they are leaving, they look pretty bummed out, better go save them!!" she shrugged, she should find red to talk about this weird feeling in her tummy, dad would know what to do.

KUMA: "Yeah the con isn't over yet and I still want to look around!" Pasties agreed. "Let's keep going then."

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Fasci just hoped they don't discover he killed a person, hopefully it'll be like last time where they had no evidence. Fascinator didn't need to be threatened with jail time. He kinda got a phobia of cops since... The incident. He snuggled closer to Jeokori and the alien seemed to get the idea as he protectively held him closer. Seriously, did they have a thing for each other or...? Knittens was out of breathe as he looked at both of them. If he couldn't even vote for the president, he is not choosing friends. Swallowing his spit, he grabs Onesie's arm and drags her to Mary and announces, "We should have fun at the con as a group! C'mon I think they have the space cartoon I like, you know the one right Onesie?"

KRO: "I gotta give you guys props for not destroying the place like last time..." Necktie admitted. "ALRIGHT MEN. DISPERSE." And as quick as they appeared, they disappeared. Into the day. Like majestic eagles.

This was too much for Hot Pants, he just wanted to eat, "Ugh. Let's just GO."

Hairpin snickered a little at Amulet, "Well I'm glad you guys like my candy. If you want, Bowtie, I can make you another bucket? Like just give me like a couple of bucks and we got a deal."

COFFINCAT: Mary was pretty shocked when onesie was dragged over too."W..we should?" He looked down at his teddy, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He was the awkward boner in the room. " Um..I-if you want to..." You could cut through that uncomfortable atmosphere with a dull plastic spork.

TIMERIFTS: Onesie flashed him a smile "Oh yeah, if that's what knittens thinks we should do" she did her best to not show how salty she was "Yeah let's go find that cartoons booth, an extra set of eyes couldn't hurt!!" she exclaimed, lowkey throwing glares at knittens, hoping no one would notice. She Really hated sharing

CRACKEMWALNUTS: Knittens dragged both of them around, oblivious to the fact that this was just a not so good time. Dear god, please let this end not in blood. Fascinator spotted Knittens and the uh... Scary atmosphere. Calling out to his younger cousin, "Hey Knittens! Cufflink is gonna picks us up soon! So maybe say good bye to your friends (?)" Knittens nods and waves good bye to both of them; smiling happy and saying that he'd like to hang out with them again. how could this child just not get the message? They all walked out of the con where Cufflink begrudgingly drove them all home.

COFFINCAT: Mj he waves goodbye to Knittens and he makes his teddy wave too. " Bye Knittens!" He smiled a little bit. He looked up at onesie and he backed away a little bit. "U-um.."

TIMERIFTS: "Byee!!" she exclaimedOnesie waved to knittens as he left, then turned to MJ "It was nice meeting you, What's your teddies name?" she asked, being the best fake nice our there.

OSCARK9: "Well, that was fun." He said to himself. "Even though that was epic, I'm going home early and get my 9 hrs nap." Gloves slowly got up from the sitting booth, walked to the nearest food stand to order some Vanilla Milkshake, got his 'Ash-Greninja with Ash' shirt, call the cab, and off he went back to the Abbey.

COFFINCAT: "Nice..meeting you too I guess.." MJ hugs his teddy close to him. "It's Mommy's love.." he moved away from her. "M- Ms Onesie..if you um..don't like me..you don't have to pretend.." He said quietly.

TIMERIFTS: Onesie nodded "Ohh nice! Very cute" she smiled at him "Oh no see I just don't do well with sharing. I have no issue with you as a person" she shrugged, leaning in closer to him "wanna go check out the convention? I spent a long time working on this costume and it would be a shame if it went to waste hmm? I'm sure you put a lotta effort into yours as well"

COFFINCAT: Mary manages to make the cutest 'really bitch?' face possible. "But Knitten's is my friend too.." he pouts and squeezes his teddy, moving away. " And I think I'll be just f-fine on my own Ms. Onesie..enjoy your con!" Mj bows and basically drops the mic of the conversation.

TIMERIFTS: Onesie kept a smile throughout the whole thing "Oh if that's what you'd like" she shrugged "Oh that's nice" she turned, then skipped away after MJ had finished "Have fun!! See you around" she turned back "call me if you need anything though, protecting innocents is what I do as an angel" she waved sweetly before turning to go find some stuffed animals

COFFINCAT: Fox watched in the bushes, softly whispering, " Yo you just got told by a twelve year old fetus!"

ohh mannn...

i woke up at 8 this morning and just. couldn’t. i emailed my professor and went back to sleep until 9:10 or so.

still didn’t feel rested or in any sort of good mood but i’d arranged to meet with the e&m tutor at 10:40 so i really, really struggled to get ready on time. i forewent packing a lunch, figuring it was spaghetti day anyway, and that i’d just pick up a smoothie for dinner if i needed it. i was still like 10 minutes late to the meeting. i let her know ahead of time...

actually i’ve met this woman before. she’s very kind. she took a look through my notes. “is this your cat?” she asked when she came across one of the two doodles in there. “i like it.”

“thanks,” i said, kinda miserable. i hate people finding my drawings... especially in class note books when they can see i wasn’t paying much attention to the lecture. next to a jumbi, the only other drawing in there that took more than five seconds, i wrote “stop drawing in class” like that makes it any better for an outside observer.

she gave me a basic physics textbooks to work through examples before class so i can follow the lecture easier using my preferred style of taking in information. learning specific cases to see how the process works and what you use it for, and then generalizing. the professor, aside from being intimidating and thoroughly unpleasant to listen to at this point, likes to work in ONLY general cases and doesn’t always state the purpose of the exercise before jumping right in.

that happened for 45 minutes. it felt good to have a direction to move forward in, but also, terrible? because i felt terrible and interacting with a professor and learning something neat didn’t help.

i went down to the office and tried to talk my classmates into getting krishna lunch but none of them were having it. they had their e&m midterm today... jennica wanted to go, and keegan wanted to go, but then keegan’s practice problem was taking too long so jennica changed her mind. and keegan didn’t want to go with only one person i guess. he said never mind.

it actually really... felt bad? like my throat hurt from trying not to try the whole way out the building and out to the road. like this one of very few things that i actually find relaxing and enjoyable got taken away. i know they were worried about their test but shouldn’t they know cramming doesn’t really do anything but make you anxious at this point? i dunno. i was super bummed. i had to really pump myself up to even bother with lunch at all.

i didn’t want to go to a very social gathering place to get lunch by myself so i forgot the spaghet this week and instead got a peanut butter smoothie because i like them and they make me feel better. part of my bad mood was due to hunger it seems like. i got a large because i knew that mediums weren’t always quite enough. but i took one sip of the large and immediately was no longer hungry so that was great. i carried it across campus with me to the pharmacy anyway and tried to get something into my stomach, at least, while listening to the beautiful sounds of elo.

i picked up my meds and that was a bit of money... but they let me get all three of them at once which was actually good. now i don’t have to drop by again next week, which takes like 40 minutes every time i go.

then i ambled over to the group therapy place and i could tell i was gonna be real sick later. but my body had to ache for 80 minutes first. that’s how it goes.

therapy was kinda rough. i felt ill and tired and unfocused. for the first 50 minutes i barely said anything at all. i hopped in eventually saying i couldn’t get anyone to take me seriously. it’s always “you’re so cute” or “so smol” or “precious” or “honey senpai” or “you’re sweet” or “you’re such a straightedge.”

i mean... these are from people i like. sometimes from people i don’t, but... the majority. i’m older than most people in my peer group and i’m still the “smol” one.

i really liked peridot in steven universe. but she’s been turned into the butt of the “smol” joke too and that’s upsetting.

too much to say about that. gotta move on.

we talked about how we all go so fast that we can’t actually process any of our emotions or reactions as we talk about our lives. i proposed that next week we spend the first 45 minutes doing nothing but crying on the floor and then the last 45 minutes actually talking. that got a good laugh out of everyone.

i mentioned it was hard for me to share reactions because i just feel nothing all the time. like my grandma died in january and it didn’t occur to me to cry about it until, like, this saturday. even then it wasn’t sobbing or anything. it was just, “oh. i’m sad now. about that.”

so i said i’d get back to the group leader with my reactions to the group next year.

it’s been... good. to talk to people my own age. who are at the same point, almost, emotionally. people who are grown ass adults and have been grown ass adults for 7+ years and who, despite having serious or absolutely devastating problems, are still doing things about it. because having depression doesn’t mean i am not doing anything about my depression.

there were weird guys in uniform on campus today. i can’t tell if they are with our Very Special Guest who is speaking tomorrow, or if they are undercover cops. i’m guessing they were not white supremacists because there was more than one not white person with them and they looked like they were not trying to be particularly intimidating.

gotta keep in mind that this university is spending over half a million dollars on security for this event. like eight of my students have contacted me about being unable to attend class tomorrow because the road they live on got shut down and they can’t leave.

also gotta keep in mind that they denied him entry at first (due to reasonable safety concerns) but then he sued and the state was all, “free speech is Very Important” and made them let him come and also they had to pay for everything except his rental of the building.

ok yes free speech is very important. but also, not putting your students in danger is very important and they are legally allowed to deny speakers that they think will directly lead to violence happening.

i guess our very special guest could spend all that money he’s not using on security on lawyers instead.

anyway. i walked back to the physics department and i told myself, “i am the- i am great. i’m great at math.” and i kinda laughed at how funny the joke was.

i dunno there’s something a little dissonant about wearing a shirt that says “COOL DUDE” on it and having a low self esteem.

it’s this one. this is the one. the shirt. this is the shirt. it says cool dude.

look ok i aspire to have half the aggressive self confidence that paps has. that is a trait i admire.

look at those dumb basketball shoulder pads. where did he get those? i love them. look how much fun he’s having.

ok anyway fashion aside. i still felt... weak and drained, when i got back to the department. i had indeed been sick after group adjourned. i had about 5 minutes before class. so i went and grabbed my notebook and sat down for class and said “i’m gonna do great” instead of telling the professor i was too sick for class.

i tried something new. i tried listening very carefully to the lecture and only taking notes when i wanted to keep track of a definition or a term he was using. since he was mostly talking theory at this point (for once in his life) it was actually easier to follow than normal. I tried to think about what the variables meant.

i dunno if that’ll help or not.

haha i sent an email in between writing part of this post and i was accidentally capitalizing words there for a few sentences! i had to go back and fix it to look like i’m talking quietly instead of at a normal person volume.

then i festered in the office for a little while before my classmates got out of their exam. suzanne didn’t look so good... even ioannis didn’t finish the last third of the test. basically everyone went home straight away.

EXCEPT. harrison asked why i didn’t go to krishna with him and keegan. i said “what.”

he said he couldn’t find me so he and keegan went to krishna alone. i told him i’d been looking around for people to go for like 30 minutes before i left and that i otherwise wasn’t around much today. i asked when they went. it was shortly after i left.

so he lied to me. he didn’t even bring it up when he’d been in the office for five minutes after the test. like, “oh, hey, i changed my mind, sorry we didn’t catch you on the way out.”

they went and did this thing i love to do with my friends without me specifically after telling me they weren’t going to do it.

i’m not mad at harrison. i didn’t even see him or know he was around, his office door had been closed. it’s never closed when he’s in.

but like... i did tell him i was actually mad for real. i didn’t really have any way to express that though so i just said that was upsetting and then he went home.

i don’t know what to do about that. i don’t want to be passive aggressive but if i bring it up tomorrow it’s just gonna be like, it’s not a big deal.

it shouldn’t matter. i am capable of having a good time by myself. it’s just, it’s not what i was expecting.

aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA my face was healing so good and i accidentally scratched it and now it’s bleeding a little. i don’t know how. the scab wasn’t even there any more. ugh.

i bummed around in the office for just a little while longer, trying to set up a work dropbox so my classmates and i can quickly share notes from class. i fiddled with it until i got frustrated and tired. taylor was around so i was talking to him about how i didn’t really appreciate harrison saying stuff like “ok from now on i’m only going to believe half the things you say.” and then i got onto my health, i think, which prompted me to start talking about my heart. and then that got me onto my christian school experience so i complained about being bullied by my classmates, my classmates’ parents, and my teachers for a little bit.

rebika came in and after a minute she said something like “i don’t like to believe what you say either, i don’t know how to react.”

and i said “yeah, bad things don’t actually happen, since you don’t want them to. it’s ok.”

she said “it’s just awkward.”

i said “that’s fair, if someone started saying the stuff i say to me i wouldn’t know how to react either.”

i biked home and i had so much trouble picking up any speed at all (even downhill, somehow) that it was kind of miserable even though the weather was nice. i could not get my legs to move any faster.

i thought about what i said. people don’t want to believe that bad things happen for real. i find myself thinking that way sometimes too. about other people. about myself. but bad things are real. they happen to real people. they could happen to me. they could happen to you. there’s horrible things happening right now to real people. statistically one unbelievably bad thing will probably happen to everyone.

i’ve just had a lot of them. so it’s hard for young people to get that i guess.

i made chili dogs for dinner because one of the internet people i talk to yesterday was talking about it and i got hungry for them. it was so good. i was up to my wrists in chili. i looked like a toddler who didn’t want to eat their baby food. i had to really struggle to, like, pick up my cup of water to take a drink with my chili hands. i don’t like touching things with gunk on my hands. or having gunk on my hands really.

i washed everything afterward and actually put my god dang dishes in the dishwasher for the first time in like four days. and i RAN A CYCLE!!! HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!! CLEANING MONSTER

i thought about making muffins for my classmates tomorrow but, upon considering that i am very depressed right now, and also that half my classmates aren’t going to want/be able to come to campus, i have decided it might be better to save them for monday instead. thursday night i’ll be too busy studying for quantum, hopefully.

i gave jennica my toolbox since her bike fell apart and i fiddled with the dropbox for a long time. but i didn’t do any studying or grading because i’m too cool for important things like preparing for a very difficult exam i have to take in two days that i don’t like and don’t want to think about.

i uploaded all my notes so far to the database but i was too tired to label all of them so i did nothing instead.

you know. i guess there’s kind of a utility in doing nothing. i don’t know if that’s a good thing or an excuse or what. but. sometimes i feel like any activity at all can lead very quickly and very unexpectedly into “self harm” or worse territory. so i elect instead to do absolutely nothing for long periods of time. i did force myself to at least train one of my pokemon while i, i don’t know, i was barely watching the youtube videos at all. i just wanted to feel like i was accomplishing something by taking a bunch of stuff off my bookmarks because i’d technically looked at it like i wanted when i’d bookmarked it.

i know it’s not really accomplishing anything. but at least there’s less bs cluttering up my bookmarks bar so now it’s easier to see the stuff i actually did want to look at later. like kinesthetic learning strategies.

at least my chili was really good...

oh i figured out a way to get snoopy to stop yowling all night. besides when she hurts herself i guess. i find knots of tangled fur ripped out on the couch and the ottoman and stuff sometimes. and i find her claws on the ground in the morning sometimes. i think she splits them on accident. not sure what’s making them so brittle though.

but anyway just saying “hey snoopy” seems to calm her down a little bit. this morning while i was sleeping in i did get her to actually lay on my bed with me for a while and she seemed to like that until i shifted my weight and bumped her with my foot. but she wasn’t “MAHHHH”ing for that period of time so it’s a success!!!!

i think she’s got mats on her stomach but she won’t let me touch any of that so i can’t really try to brush anything and she just accidentally tears it out sometimes while grooming i guess. she’s only barely started letting me brush around her hips. i’m thinking about taking her somewhere to get her claws and fur trimmed and maybe her teeth cleaned and stuff but i don’t know how much it’ll cost and i don’t know who’s got people who can do cats around here. petco didn’t when we first went...

tomorrow i’m gonna go to a “wellness coaching” event that the counseling center is hosting. even if i don’t learn anything new i need to hear this stuff over and over again or i’m gonna forget it. and maybe getting some professionally-sanctioned attention will help me feel a little better by itself.

i’m kinda bummed because i had time to play with snoopy today, since i got home right before 6, but i just didn’t have any energy i guess.

energy doesn’t seem like the right word to be using. because physically i could technically do it. there’s no sleepiness or anything keeping me from doing it. but if it occurs to me that i could be doing it my brain gives a hard “no.” kinda like with my homework situation!!!!!!!!!!!!

emotional energy? willpower? does it take willpower to NOT do things, like i kinda talked about earlier? what am i spending all my energy on?

most days i think i would explain my energy as being allocated “80% toward not killing myself, 10% toward maintaining myself/my environment, and 10% toward school because that’s all i have left.” but not killing myself isn’t necessarily an active thing i have to do at all times so maybe it’s not taking up all that mental space. i just don’t know. i mean, of course, sometimes it is, but, not always.

it’s 11:20 which is 35 minutes after my “STOP WRITING AND GO TO BED, ASSHOLE” time so i’m going to try to rest i guess. i don’t know if i can teach for four hours straight tomorrow. it’ll be a reduced class size but i still put all my attention on my students for that period of time. maybe i can kinda get them to finish early so i can go to the bathroom before the second two hours at least. guess i’ll just live with it.

#tw self harm #tw suicide #just mentions #other than my face which suffered some minor rage but not as much as usually happens #just gotta tag it every time it comes up you know how it is

Addiction (18/?)

I seem to be in a very Addiction mood at the moment so I guess that’s what I’ll be updating most often. Maybe. Thanks for all of the comments, reblogs etc. You guys are awesome and I really do love to hear what you think about this so...yeah! Enjoy the chapter! Warning(s): Sexual scenes, violence, cheating. Umi was walking down the hallway to the art clubroom when she thought she heard the sound of music coming from another room. She paused in the hallway, listening curiously. It sounded familiar. Very familiar. It didn’t take her longer than a few minutes to recognize the melody as ‘Start dash’. “Odd…” She mumbled to herself. Deciding to go an investigate she followed the sound to the art room at the far end of the corridor. Cautiously, she pushed the door open and stepped inside, the music growing louder. “Oh…” She stopped short just past the doorway. There was only one person in the room. Amagi was sitting in front of a canvas, her side to the door. She was nodding along to the music as she painted, a focused look on her face. She was dressed in her school uniform without the blazer. The left side of her cheek had a streak of red paint on it. The rest of the room was as messy as she was. There were jars of water on almost every surface along with clean and unclean paintbrushes. “You like our music?”

Hibiki startled at the sudden voice and almost fell from her stool. “Ahh, Sonoda-san! I-I um...I didn’t know you’d be around this part of the school. Did you need something?” “Just giving this form to the art club.” Umi held up the form in her hand and stepped further into the room. “So…?” She nodded toward Hibiki’s open laptop. “Oh, y-yeah. Everyone knows Muse…” Hibiki said with a slightly nervous laugh. “Music helps me focus and...yours is great. I’m a big fan.” “Oh yeah? Name more than two of our songs.” Umi said with an expectant smile. As she’d thought, Hibiki’s face fell. She laughed softly in response. “It’s fine. Don’t look so worried.” “Wild Stars and No Brand Girl. And of course, Start Dash.” Hibiki answered, putting down her paintbrush. She looked down, noticing the ring on Umi’s finger. “Oh, so you confessed to them?” “Wha…?” Umi looked down too, blushing when she noticed what Hibiki was referring to. “O-Oh yeah, I um...I did. I would be grateful if you could keep it a secret though. I don’t think she wants anyone to know yet and...it’s complicated.” “It’s Kaichou you’re with, isn’t it?” Hibiki turned more toward Umi, crossing one leg over the other. “I thought there was something odd about the way she looks at you compared to how she looked at Minami-san…” “That’s the complicated part…” Umi uncomfortably rubbed her neck. She wished she could just be with Honoka properly. If she’d just confessed all those months ago they wouldn’t even be in this mess. “She’s my best friend. Kotori, I mean. I feel bad for....this.” “Well I suppose they were going to fall apart eventually if Kaichou had feelings for you. So it’s not your fault.” Hibiki said with a shrug of her shoulders. She looked sincere though. “I’m guessing that’s why you didn’t give me a chance.” “Yeah...I’m sorry about that.” Umi apologized with a wince. “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings. I know how hard it is to confess to someone. Actually I don’t, I never had the courage to confess.” Hibiki waved her off. “It’s fine, I knew you had feelings for someone. I just wanted to confess. To get everything off my chest, you know? I’m…” She trailed off when she noticed Umi giving her an appraising look. “What?” “You’re not like an ordinary fangirl.” Umi noted thoughtfully. She had plenty of them and Hibiki just wasn’t like them. “I’m not part of your fanclub Fuku-Kaichou. I’m just an admirer, that’s all.” “Wait…” Umi touched her chin with her index finger, trying to figure something out. “Then why did you join archery when you were going to be part of the art club?” Hibiki suddenly looked sheepish. “To be honest, my father made me take one sport. I thought archery would be easy.” She noticed a flicker of outrage cross Umi’s face and grinned at her. “Sorry. I’m not good with sports. I’m an artist.” “I guess that explains how you managed to put an arrow through your hand.” Umi said with a sigh. She rubbed her temples tiredly. “You’re not what I expected. Everyone describes you as being perfect but you’re kind of cheeky too.” Hibiki gave a short laugh. “I hate rumors. Sometimes people should shut up and mind their own business, I think. But the truth is, I don’t care what people say. Not like Nishikino…” “Maki has a hard time fitting in, that’s all.” Umi’s tone turned a little defensive. “She just wants people to like her, I don’t see anything wrong with that. And her dad is strict. I doubt she wants to get in trouble with him over something like someone at school thinking less of her.” “Don’t take it the wrong way, Sonoda-san. I’m not saying anything bad about her, I’m just saying that I think she shouldn’t let her father get to her.” Hibiki said hastily. “She should do what makes her happiest and in my opinion she seems happiest when she’s with Muse. I really wasn’t making fun of her.” “I’m sorry.” Umi finally said with a sigh. “It’s not like I really thought you were...well I kind of did but Maki has had a rough few months and people haven’t always been nice to her. Especially first years. I’m sorry I got the wrong idea. You might want to work on how blunt you are though.” Hibiki shrugged and flashed Umi a grin. “Sorry, Sonoda-san. That’s just how I am.” “Umi.” Umi corrected. She continued when Hibiki frowned in confusion. “You can call me Umi. We’re...kind of friends now, right?” Hibiki smiled widely at the suggestion. “Okay...Umi-tan. You can call me Hibiki” “Eeehh?” “I like giving people nicknames. So Umi-tan. It’s cute, don’t you think?” Hibiki asked somewhat smugly. “You can give me one if you want.” “Uh…” Umi paused, wondering is this was really the girl who’d stuttered out a confession to her. “I think I’ll just call you Hibiki.” Hibiki looked momentarily displeased before she spoke up again. “So if I’m your friend I’m Kaichou’s friend too, right? Can I call her Hocchi?” “What? No! I mean I don’t know. Maybe if you ask her...actually Honoka would probably be into it.” Umi sighed and hung her head. “How are you suddenly so…?” “Forward?” Hibiki asked, raising an eyebrow. “I don’t know. I just feel like I can be myself around you. I never really had many friends except the ones I meet in Shibuya.” “Oh…” Umi said slowly as if that really answered anything. Hibiki could see that Umi didn’t really understand what she was saying. “Look, even if I don’t care about rumors that doesn’t mean I have friends. Fans, sure. But not friends. Besides they don’t know the real me so what’s the point?” “Uh…” Umi took a moment to look the girl over, noticing her shirt was untucked and the sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, she also didn’t have her bow on. It was on the table. She was wearing red chucks rather than the indoor shoes they were meant to wear. Her gaze travelled back up and she noticed the girl was wearing a chain around her neck, a golden paintbrush charm hanging there. Her ears were pierced too, she noticed. She wondered how she’d missed it before. “Wait, I’m sorry...I don’t mean to be rude o-or anything but um...if you’re like...this, um...why did you even like me? I mean I’m boring in comparison.” “It’s always the quiet ones who are the most interesting.” Hibiki said with a coy smirk. “Besides you could say that once I found out you wrote No Brand Girl, I fell in love with your writing.” She watched as Umi turned bright red. “But that’s in the past. Having a friend is better than having a lover sometimes…” “Shameless…” Umi muttered, pressing her hands to her cheeks in an effort to cool herself down. “Aren’t you just as shameless though?” Hibiki raised an eyebrow and nodded toward Umi’s neck. “Looks like you’ve been getting down and dirty with Hocchi.” “Aaah!” Umi’s hand shot to the mark on her neck. “I thought you were so innocent! You’re not like the rumors at all!” “Sorry to disappoint. So what’s the deal?” Hibiki asked, trying to sound unfazed. “You don’t want to be my friend anymore? I don’t think take backs are allowed.” “Of course I do.” Umi said quickly. She flashed Hibiki a reassuring smile. “Just trying to work out how you’d get along with Muse really. Honoka will like you, I’m sure. She’ll be happy you gave her a nickname. She spent so long trying to get me to give her one when we were kids...” “Oooh, inside information.” Hibiki hopped down off her stool. “Anything else?” “You might want to stay away from Nico.” Umi said thoughtfully. “Yazawa-senpai...maybe you’re right. I’d probably make fun of her Nico-Nico nii shtick…” Hibiki said with a nod of her head. “Nozomi might like you. In fact I’m sure she would.” Umi said, looking Hibiki up and down. “You’d probably get on really well with her.” “Nozomin.” Hibiki said with a firm nod of her head. Umi sighed. “The nicknames are going to get annoying…” “Yeah well get used to it Umi-tan.” Hibiki retorted, drawing an exasperated groan from Umi. “So do I get to meet them? You were talking like I get to meet them.” “Maybe eventually.” Umi said with a small smile. She was still a bit puzzled but it hardly mattered. “Oh, I have to get these to the president of the art club. I completely forgot.” “I’ll give them to her. Don’t worry, Umi-tan.” “Oh...thank you.” Umi handed over the forms she needed filled in. “Can you tell her I’ll pick them up tomorrow? If she could leave them on her desk. Or with you. I’ll come and find you after school.” “Alrighty then.” Hibiki grinned as Umi backed away. “I guess I’ll get back to my painting. I hope I didn’t scare you off with the nicknames.” “You didn’t…” Umi hesitated at the door as Hibiki looked back at her painting. “I kind of like mine.” When Hibiki turned toward the door again, Umi was already gone. --- Eli watched Maki pace back and forth in front of her, her brow furrowed with concern. She didn’t know what to say to calm her down. “I don’t want to go.” Maki was muttering under her breath. “I just know papa’s going to pull that crap again. But I have to go. Ugh, I hate this…” “If you’re this worried about it, are you sure I should go with you?” Eli asked uncertainly. She didn’t especially want to go anyway. The way Maki had described it didn’t make the thought of going very appealing. “Of course! Are you kidding me?! You coming with me is the only good thing about the night that I can think of!” Maki protested hurriedly. “I’m sorry. What I mean is that if I have to go to this, you kind of have to go too. That’s one of the key deals with me. Going to this stuffy bullshit.” Eli raised an eyebrow. “Does your dad know you curse like a sailor? Maybe he’d think twice about taking you if he did.” “No...I have slipped in front of mama though.” Maki shook her head, realizing she was getting distracted. “But the point is you have to come. I’ll go to whatever you want me to in the future, I promise!” Eli thought about that for a moment. “There’s a chocolate fair coming up soon…” Maki sighed and rolled her eyes skyward. “You’re worse than Honoka with bread. Fine, I’ll go with you to that if you want.” “I can’t wait.” Eli said, smiling brightly at the agreement. “Fine. No more arguments from me about this. I really don’t think I’m going to fit in here though. I mean a charity fundraiser is a bit…” She trailed off, shrugging her shoulders. “Full of pasty rich assholes? Boring as hell? Yeah, I’d rather be anywhere else. I wonder who’s going to be there.” Maki paced across the room to her laptop and picked up the pamphlet. She read through it silently, her eyes widening. “The Sonodas and Amagis are invited. The Suzuharus’ are going to be there…” Eli tried to place them but couldn’t. “Who are they?” “Suzuharu Jun. One of my childhood suitors and the most obnoxious.” Maki tossed the pamphlet aside in disgust. “He thinks he’s entitled to everything. Including me.” “Entitled to you?!” Eli echoed in disbelief. “Right, that’s it. If he lays even one hand on you, I swear…” “Oh so now you want to go?” Maki asked in amusement. “If it means keeping him away from you, damn right I want to go.” Eli said, getting to her feet. “I need to go and find a dress to wear.” “Eli, it’s not for another week.” “I don’t care. If I’m going to look good enough to be by your side I need to find a decent dress.” Eli said firmly. There was no way she’d lose to this suitor. “Wait…” Maki grabbed Eli’s hand as the blonde made to leave. “Have you seen yourself? I mean...you look like you belong there more than I do. If everyone didn’t know who I am, that is. Trust me, you don’t need a fancy dress. I do have a request though...” “Oh?” Eli asked curiously. “What is it?” “Wear your hair down. You look really pretty with your hair down.” Maki gently drew Eli closer to her and pecked her on the lips. “And let me take that dress off you afterwards.” “Now who’s a perv?” Eli tried to act unaffected but she couldn’t deny the way her chest fluttered with excitement. “Maybe I am…” Maki purred, pressing herself as close as she could to Eli. “Maybe I’ll even wear what I bought when I went shopping with Honoka last sunday. Just for the afterparty at least…” Eli didn’t have an answer for that. In fact she was fairly certain her brain just short-circuited and she could only gape at Maki in surprise. “Li-Like um…” She cleared her throat, realizing she was about to embarrass herself. “What kind of...thing did you buy?” “It’s a secret.” Maki grinned and playfully prodded Eli’s cheek. “You’re blushing.” “I’m not! I’m just...ugh, forget about it. Come here.” Eli grabbed the front of Maki’s shirt and pulled her into a deep kiss, quickly backing them up to the bed. “I really hope I locked the door…” “I did that for you.” Maki mumbled against Eli’s lips. “Fuck, I love you.” Eli muttered back, threading her hands into Maki’s hair as they tumbled back onto the bed behind them. --- “Have you found anything yet?” Eli asked as she watched Nozomi rummaging around in her closet in search of something for her to wear. They were sitting in her bedroom, Eli having invited Nozomi over while she was at school. “It needs to be perfect.” Nozomi gave a soft laugh in response. “You sure are fired up about this, Elichi…” “Eh...kind of. I’m going because she promised to go with me to a chocolate fair in a few weeks. Besides, apparently there’s a guy at the party who’s also her childhood suitor?” Eli shook her head in aggravated disbelief. “I need to keep the entitled jerk away from her.” “Oh right, her family is rich. I always forget about that.” Nozomi tossed a light blue dress onto the bed next to Eli. “I guess she must get that a lot. Suitors and marriage interviews, I mean. She must hate it, what with her being...well gay.” “I hate it and I only just heard about it.” Eli muttered darkly, looking down at her bare feet. “At least with me there the guy will get nowhere near her.” “Like a knight in shining armor.” Nozomi observed teasingly as she went back to rummaging. “That’s sweet.” “Well I’m no Umi, but I try I guess…” Eli answered with a sigh. “What about you? Are you...doing anything with Nico?” “Besides the two of us being confined to my bed? Not really.” Nozomi answered cheekily. She stepped out of the walk in closet with two more dresses, red and black in color. “I think you should go with the blue. Blue looks good on you. Are you going to wear your hair down?” “Yeah, Maki said I should…” Eli idly reached up, touching her ponytail. “I’ll wear the blue dress, like you said. Thank you, Nozomi.” “It’s fine.” Nozomi said with a shake of her head. She went to perch on the bed next to Eli and lightly bumped her shoulder. “You’ll fit right in.” “That’s what Maki said…” Eli said with a shrug of her shoulders. “Do you mind if I ask you something?” “Sure, go ahead.” Nozomi said with a reassuring smile. She could tell that Eli was nervous, just by watching her. “What is it?” “It’s about...college. I’ve been thinking about it for a while. What might happen when we all graduate.” Eli chanced a glance at Nozomi and found that she was listening intently, a sincere look on her face. “Well, I was just wondering...I know we’ve been talking a lot more recently a-and I feel like we might be getting back to normal. Back to being best friends. Um...so I was wondering if we’d still be able t-to see each other after we graduate. Maybe just for coffee every now and then.” “We can have coffee together every morning if you want. You, me and Nicocchi. And we can ‘meet up’ for dinner every night if you want.” Nozomi said with a soft smile. “Wait...w-what are you saying?” Eli shook her head, trying to figure out what Nozomi was implying. “Elichi, you’re my best friend. Do you really think I’d let you live alone? We agreed, remember?” Nozomi lightly touched Eli’s arm and watched as her friend’s eyes welled up with tears. “Hey, hey...don’t cry. It’s...” She trailed off as Eli threw her arms around her, hugging her tightly. She laughed quietly to herself and gently hugged Eli back. “You’re such a sap…” “I can’t help it.” Eli choked out, struggling to stop her tears. “I-I just didn’t think...we’d actually be friends again after…after I...and now we are and...” “Oh jeez, you’re blubbering…” Nozomi gently rubbed Eli’s back, waiting patiently for her to calm down. After a few minutes, Eli pulled away, rubbing at her eyes. “I’m sorry, I’m just...so happy. And relieved. I just have to worry about Maki now…” “Worry about her?” Nozomi echoed in surprise. “Why? I mean if you’re worried about me feeling weird if she comes over, I won’t be. I’m trying to...be okay with it. I am okay with it, I just need a bit more time to be...better with it, I guess? But I won’t keep her from coming over. In fact I think it’s a good idea if she does.” “I actually just meant...it’ll be hard not seeing her all of the time.” Eli said sheepishly. “I’ll see her a lot less than I do now. I’ll be busy with college and studying and who knows how long it would even take her to get to where we live. I mean...what if it’s too much? God, I shouldn’t even be talking to you about this…” “I’ll make sure we get somewhere close to Akihabara.” Nozomi promised with a roll of her eyes. “Relax, Elichi. We’re best friends. We can talk about this stuff now. Sure, it’s not what we were imagining a year ago but I think we’ve both moved on enough. So stop worrying and tell me what you’re thinking...” Eli wasn’t sure but she continued anyway. “I’m thinking...that Maki might not want a part-time girlfriend. Or a relationship with that much distance.” “You’re an idiot. Maki obviously loves you or she wouldn’t have stayed with you through all of this crap.” Nozomi said pointedly. “And look at it this way, she’s going to be busy with school. It’s not easy to get into Tokyo U pre-med. She’ll probably be going to cram school too…” Eli smiled to herself at the answer. “Yeah, she’s so smart…” “Elichi, focus.” Nozomi lightly flicked Eli’s forehead. “I can’t talk to you seriously when you’re fawning over your girlfriend. As I was saying, you’re both going to be busy and she’ll understand. You can skype. And you’ll see her on the weekend. Unless you decide to part every night…” “I’d rather be with Maki.” Eli said hurriedly. “She’ll sleep over. I’ll make sure I have time. She sleeps over at my house on the weekdays all the time now so it’ll be fine. Just not when I have exams. We can study together if we have to.” “There. You have your solution.” Nozomi said smugly. “ I told you it would…” She trailed off as her phone rang. Quickly plucking it from her pocket she found that Nico was calling her. “Oh sorry, It’s just Nicocchi.” She answered the phone, turning partially away from Eli. “Hey Nicocchi…” “Are you done with helping the moron yet? I’m making dinner.” Nozomi wasn’t surprised to hear Nico was at her apartment. She’d given her the spare key a few weeks ago. “Oh? What are you making?” “My famous curry. So you’d better hurry up and get here already.” Nozomi smirked and lowered her voice. “Well you need to motivate me. What are you wearing?” Nico released an irritated sigh. “An apron.” “Anything under it?” Nozomi asked hopefully. “NOZOMI! JUST GET OVER HERE FOR DINNER ALREADY!” “Fine, fine. I’ll see you soon, Nicocchi.” Nozomi hung up the call and turned to Eli who was pretending not to listen. “I have to go, Elichi. I’ll see you tomorrow?” “Sure.” Eli said with a small smile. She got up when Nozomi did. “Nozomi?” Nozomi turned only to find herself engulfed in another tight hug. She returned it just as enthusiastically. “I’m so glad you’re happy.” Eli whispered sincerely. “And thank you for everything you’ve done. What you said earlier.” “Don’t get sappy on me again.” Nozomi teased, giving Eli another brief squeeze before she pulled away. “But I’m glad you’re...happy too.” “Thank you.” Eli said, doing her best not to tear up again. “I’m gonna call Maki and tell her I have everything ready. Thanks for all of the help.” Nozomi waved her off as she crossed to the door. “It’s what friends do.” ---- “Are you sure you don’t want to just stay in the council room?” Umi asked, glancing over at Honoka. “You don’t have to come with me, I’m just picking up some forms.” “I want to. I don’t want you to go alone and I really don’t want to be alone with Kotori-chan right now…” Honoka said with a shrug of her shoulders. “Do you not want me to come?” “Of course I do.” Umi reached out and took Honoka’s hand. “I’m glad you’re here, I just didn’t want you to feel obligated or anything.” “Well I…” Honoka paused as something caught her attention. “Wait, is someone playing No Brand Girl?”

“Yeah.” Umi grinned and tugged at Honoka’s hand, urging her to keep going. “I actually have a...friend I want you to meet.” “Oh?” Honoka asked curiously as Umi tugged her into a room. When she saw who Umi was talking about her face fell. “Oh…” She recognized the girl immediately as the first year who had confessed to Umi. She looked different, dressed in a blank tanktop rather than her school shirt but there was no denying who she was. “Please give her a chance. She’s more than the rumors say…” Umi said hopefully, giving Honoka’s hand another light squeeze. Hibiki looked up at the sound of someone’s voice. “Umi-tan!” She exclaimed, hopping down from her stool. “You came! And you brought Hocchi! You don’t mind if I call you that, right?” “Eh?!” Honoka stepped back slightly as the girl approached. “Hocchi? What…?” She looked over the girl, noticing the piercings in her ears and the fact that she was wearing white chucks with little designs on them. “I’m confused…” “It’s normal to be confused with an artist.” Hibiki grinned. She walked to her school bag, rummaging through it for a moment before she took out some sweet bread and tossed it at Honoka who barely managed to catch. “I was going to eat it for lunch but forgot. Umi-tan says you like bread?” “Thank you, um…?” “Oh. It’s Hibiki. But you can call me whatever you want.” Hibiki pulled a couple of forms from her bag and handed them to Umi. “Your forms, Fuku-Kaichou…” “Thanks.” Umi smiled at the formality and took the forms, casting a quick glance at Honoka who still looked bewildered. “So...if you call me Hocchi, can I call you um…” Honoka seemed to think for a moment, tossing ideas around in her head. “Biki-chan?” “Biki…” Hibiki smiled brightly at the suggestion. “That’s so cute! Okay, sure. You can call me that if you want. Umi-tan, you could…” Umi shook her head. “I’m sticking with Hibiki. Your name is fine as it is.” Hibiki pouted and crossed her arms in front of her. “You’re no fun…” “Umi-chan’s never been any fun.” Honoka said, flashing a teasing smile at Umi. “That’s not to say she’s not fun to be around though.” “Oh, you’re wearing a ring too!” Hibiki exclaimed, noticing the ring hanging from a chain around Honoka’s neck. “Do you mind if I take a look?” “Uh…” Honoka almost took a wary step back but then Hibiki was in front of her, carefully holding the ring between two nail polished fingers. “Oooh you have nice taste!” “Well um...Maki-chan helped me pick them out.” Honoka said hesitantly. “So it’s kind of her taste, not mine.” “Well you had good enough taste to say yes to them.” Hibiki dropped the ring and took a step back. “I figure you got it in Shibuya, right? I got my charm there too.” She held up the charm hanging from her necklace for Honoka to see. “Um...Biki-chan?” Honoka felt a bit guilty as bright eyes turned to her. “Didn’t you like Umi-chan?” “Oh yeah, but she rejected me so that’s over now. I had my hunches that I would, you know?” Hibiki shrugged her shoulders. “Besides, I think being her friend would be better. Especially if I can seduce the hot Kaichou or Treasury-san.” “Okay, I’ve had enough of your flirting.” Umi took Honoka’s hand and pulled her close to her side. “Honoka’s not available. Not at all.” “Relax, I won’t go after Hocchi.” Hibiki said with a reassuring smile. “She’s off limits. I get it already.” “Oooh.” Honoka pulled away from Umi and crossed the room to the easel Hibiki had been sitting in front of. There was a half finished painting sitting there. “This is awesome!” “Oh, you like it?” Hibiki walked up behind Honoka, to look at her painting. “It’s an unfinished painting of a traditional japanese landscape. With a brighter flare. I’ve been trying pointillism but damn is it hard…” Umi leaned back against the door behind her, watching with a small smile as Honoka leaned forward to get a better look. She was glad the two of them were getting along so well. ----

Eli was beyond nervous. She was standing outside of the hotel the charity fundraiser was to take place in and she was sure it was the grandest hotel she’d ever seen. She felt truly out of place. She checked her watch. Maki wasn’t late but she still wasn’t there and it was making her even more nervous. “Ugh, why did I get here so early…?” “Are you lost?” Eli looked around at the sound of a male voice. “Huh?” “Over here, idiot.” “Who are you calling…?” Eli trailed off as she looked up and met the bright hazel eyes of a young man with slick back dark hair. He was tall, wearing a black suit. He looked to be at least 5’10. Maybe 5’11. “Uh…” “Charmed. Are you here for the fundraiser? I’ve never seen you around before. Are you friends with Nishikino?” “Uh…” “You’re not very ladylike.” The man said, seemingly amused. “Could it be that you’re just a foreigner?” “Hey, I’m half Japanese!” Eli exclaimed, affronted. “Oh so your hair is natural.” “And why would that be a problem?” Eli asked defensively, taking a step back. “It’s not, I just prefer pure Japanese girls. Not…” The young man looked Eli over in distaste. “Where are you from anyway?” “That’s not your business!” Eli’s cheeks flushed red with anger. “And I didn’t ask you for your opinion of me. Maybe you should keep them to yourself.” “Jun, back off!” Eli breathed a sigh of relief as Maki appeared at her side. She hadn’t even noticed her coming. She had been too wrapped up in her argument with the obtuse boy in front of her. “Wait…” “Ah, my dear Maki-san. Looks like we’re here together again.” The young man suddenly looked especially happy and Eli growled in annoyance. “Shut it, you were being a jerk to my girlfriend, weren’t you?” Maki scowled angrily and reached back for Eli’s hand. She didn’t look away from Jun but thankfully she felt Eli slip her hand into hers. “Girlfriend? This...halfling is your girlfriend?” “Yes, she is. And if you have a problem, I’ll step on your toes. Making it real hard for you to dance…” Maki warned angrily. “You were always a feisty one, Maki-san. But I’ll stop. Still, she isn’t my type at all. What are you, American?” “Russian.” Eli answered through gritted teeth. She turned toward Maki, lowering her voice. “If I don’t leave, I might hit him.” Maki bit her lip, not quite managing to bite back a smile. “Alright, let’s go inside.” She turned back to Jun, narrowing her eyes. “Jun we’re going inside. Don’t follow us.”

Jun scoffed. "You can't tell me what to do, Maki-san. Remember our fathers might arrange a marriage between us...despite your little phase.” Maki clenched her hand into a fist and would have stepped forward to punch Jun had Eli not dragged her away. “Fuck! He’s such an entitled bastard.” “Cool it with the cursing, Maki.” Eli said, soothingly rubbing the back of Maki’s hand. “Let’s just relax and try to have a good night together, okay? We’ll just stay away from him. Let me buy you a drink.” “Alcoholic?” Maki asked dryly. Eli laughed as she stepped into the hotel with Maki though it quickly died on her lips. “Holy shit, this place is huge.” She looked around, noticing the red decor with gold trims. There were more paintings on the wall than she could count. All traditional Japanese. “Language.” Maki let go of Eli’s hand and tangled her arm with Eli’s instead, pressing close to her side. “I really do want something alcoholic to drink though…” “You’re fifteen!” Eli pointed out incredulously. Maki shrugged her shoulders. “Papa lets me drink. I have a high tolerance…” Eli sighed and rolled her eyes as she led Maki further into the hotel. Noticing everyone entering a large room, she followed and immediately spotted a huge stage. “Rich girls…” “Isn’t your grandmother rich? I mean she was a famous dancer in Russia, wasn’t she?” Maki asked skeptically. Eli winced. “I mean...yeah. But can we not talk about obaa-san?” She reluctantly explained when Maki looked confused. “In Russia they’re more strict about...us than they are here. Surprisingly.” “Oh, yeah. I see that.” Maki bit her lip guiltily, noticing that Eli seemed a bit down now. “Um…” “Anyway!” Eli seemed to force herself to brighten up. “Shall we go, my dear?” “Eli!” Eli turned around as someone called her name and found Umi, Honoka and another girl standing behind her. Umi, who had been the one to call her name, was dressed in a traditional Kimono while Honoka was wearing a pale pink gown. The shorter girl whom she didn’t recognize was wearing a dark blue and black ruffle dress. “Oh hey Umi, you look...nice. You too, Honoka. You scrub up well.” Eli teased, flashing Honoka a grin. “I’m surprised you’re here though. I didn’t really think these fundraisers would be your thing.” “I could say the same thing to you.” Honoka countered, glancing back at Umi who was hovering a little behind her. “Umi-chan made me come because she hates these things.” “Same with Maki.” Eli gave Maki a gentle squeeze. “These things aren’t what I’d call fun at all. I’d rather be at home right now.” “Shit, I really wish I had my paint and canvas right now.” Hibiki said excitedly as she watched Honoka press herself closer to Umi in response to Eli’s gesture. She shrugged when they turned to look at her. “What? You’re all so gay, it’s beautiful! Oh, sorry. I’m Amagi Hibiki by the way. Umi-tan’s friend.” Maki didn’t have time to ask what the ‘Umi-tan’ was about when she was called over by her dad. She huffed out a sigh and pulled away from Eli. “Sorry. I’ll be right back.” She walked away, muttering to herself. “If he shoves me with another one of his colleague’s sons, I fucking swear…” Eli watched Maki go with a frown on her face. When she looked back to where Honoka was standing, the girl was gone and Umi was nowhere in sight either. Instead a tall, redheaded, freckled faced young man wearing a dark blue suit was standing in front of her. Eli took a wary step back, remembering her encounter with Jun outside. “Um…” “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.” The young man said, holding up his hands. He smiled sheepishly and shrugged his shoulders. “I just couldn’t help but notice that you’re a...well…” Eli huffed out a sigh. She’d had just about enough of this. “Foreigner. Yeah, yeah. I get it. I’m part Russian if that’s your next question.” “Oh, I wasn’t going to...I’m sorry, I think we got off on the wrong foot. My name is Dekomori Kenneth. I’m not from here either and people keep giving me odd looks so I was wondering if it would be okay for me to talk to you for a while.” Kenneth laughed and awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck. “I guess...that’s fine. I’m Ayase Eli. It’s nice to meet you.” Eli awkwardly held out her hand and Kenneth took it, giving it a light shake. “So where are you from? If you don’t mind me asking. You’re probably tired of people asking you that.” Across the room, Maki watched, half paying attention to her father as he introduced her to a boy she’d yet to bother making eye contact with. She gritted her teeth as she watched the redhead Eli was speaking to hold her hand a little too long for her liking. “Oh. Well I’m half Irish.” Kenneth answered as Eli let go of his hand. “To be honest, I was happy when I noticed you over here.” Eli wasn’t sure what to say to that so she settled for nodding. Kenneth cleared his throat. “Um...I noticed you were here with Nishikino-san. I can’t wait to hear her play later. She truly is a gifted musician.” “Yeah, she...wait, what?” Eli frowned in confusion. “Maki’s playing later? I...didn’t know that.” She looked around for Maki but she couldn’t see her. “I wonder why she didn’t tell me…” “Sorry, I have a habit of putting my foot in my mouth.” Kenneth seemed to blush as red as his hair. “You two seem close. Maybe she just wanted to surprise you or something like that.” “Maybe…” Eli mused, biting her lip. “I don’t know. It seems like something she would do. So who are you he-” She trailed off as Maki finally came into view. “Maki, you’re back.” “Yep.” Maki stepped over to Eli and leaned up, kissing her cheek, right next to her lips. She glanced at the redhead she’d been glaring at for the past five or so minutes. “Goodbye, Dekomori-san.” “Wha…?” Kenneth’s eyes widened in surprise. “I’m sorry, I seem to have done something wrong. My apologies. It was nice meeting you, Ayase-san.” He rushed off and Eli turned to Maki with a frown. “Maki! Why would you do that? He just wanted someone to spend time with, that’s all. He seemed nice.” “I’m not just going to let some guy flirt with my girlfriend!” Maki exclaimed indignantly. “You’re mine. And I’m yours and there’s nothing anyone can damn well do to get between us, especially some idiot boys we don’t know!” “I know that.” Eli soothingly placed her hands on Maki’s shoulders. “You really hate these things, don’t you?” “Of course I hate these things.” Maki said bitterly. “I feel like a puppet, having to entertain for these people. I know it’s about politics and it’s about the charity but...ugh. I hate it. I hate feeling like I’m being paraded around, forced to meet people I don’t want to meet. I really hate being rich sometimes, I wish I could be anywhere but here.” “We can. Let’s just go.” Eli grinned at the look of astonishment that appeared on Maki’s face in wake of her words. “Come on, nobody will notice. Just for a few minutes?” Maki was torn. She looked between her father and her mother before sighing. “You know I can’t…” Eli pursed her lips and looked around the room, trying to figure out an escape route. Noticing the buffet table, she grinned as an idea came to mind. She had seen this in a romance movie she’d watched with Arisa the previous week. “I have an idea, come on!” Before Maki could argue she was being tugged over to the buffet table. When Eli ducked under it, she had no choice but to follow suit. The tablecloth fell into place behind her. “What are we doing?” She hissed. “This is crazy!” “You wanted to get out, right?” Eli asked expectantly. “This way we’re not at the party but we’re still present. It’s just you and me right now though…” Maki felt tears prickle at her eyes. “You sure know how to make a girl cry…” Eli’s eyes widened as Maki threw her arms around her. She barely managed to keep her balance on her hands but she was quick to hug Maki back. Her eyes caught on something red and black on Maki’s shoulder. “I-Is that your bra strap?” “Afterparty, remember?” Maki pulled back, chuckling. She leaned in and pressed her lips to Eli, feeling the familiar nerves that always came with kissing her in a public setting before she calmed down. She pulled back, lightly brushing Eli’s hair back from her face. “I love you.” “I love you too.” Eli smiled softly, turning to press a kiss to the hand that lingered on her cheek. “But...what brought this on? Not that I’m complaining but…” Maki shrugged. “I just want you to know. You make me so calm, just being here with you makes me calm.” Eli grinned at the praise. “I’m glad I can be of help.” The sound of music caught Maki’s attention. “Do you want to dance?” Eli looked sceptical. “In here?” Maki laughed at the question. “No, you idiot.” She kissed Eli again, chuckling gently against her lips. “Out there. I want to dance with you.” “Are you sure? I don’t want to piss your dad off or make things hard for you.” Eli said in concern. “Maybe we could find another room and…” “Eli!” Maki pouted and Eli had to bite back a smile. “Come on, please. I just want to dance with my girlfriend. Just once, I promise. Please?” “You’re so not playing fair.” Eli muttered as she got out from under the table, Maki emerging right behind her. Thankfully nobody noticed. Quickly they straightened out their dresses before Maki took charge and led Eli to the dancefloor. “You’ll lead?” Maki whispered, pointedly ignoring the looks they were receiving in favor of focusing on Eli’s eyes. “Of course.” Eli smiled back and placed her right hand on Maki’s back, just below her shoulder blades. She felt Maki’s right hand slip into her left and a hand come to rest on her shoulder. ---- Honoka smiled and rested her chin on her open palm as she watched Eli begin to lead Maki in their dance. It was beyond romantic, she thought with a sigh. “So she’s really gonna come out of the closet.” Hibiki remarked, leaning back in her seat. “She’s braver than me and Umi-tan…” Honoka turned to her with a frown. “Umi-chan and I are going to get married.” “Whoa, what?!” Hibiki had been tipping back on her seat and almost fell back. She would have had she not grasped the table in time. “Seriously…?” “Honoka…” Umi sighed though she looked happy with the comment rather than upset. “Can I be your maid of honor?” Hibiki grinned. “Kotori-chan is…” Honoka paused, her eyes widening slightly. She hadn’t even thought before she’d said that. It had just come out. She wasn’t even speaking to Kotori at the minute. She swallowed thickly against the lump in her throat. “You might have to fight Eli-senpai for it…” Umi reached over and took Honoka’s hand, giving it a supportive squeeze. “Okay then. Best girl?” Hibiki noticed the sudden serious turn and decided to lighten the mood. “Please? Please, please, please?” “Fine!” Umi groaned and rolled her eyes. “You’ll have to do something deserving of the title though.” Hibiki was just thinking about what she could do and Umi was about to ask Honoka if she was alright when a male voice caught her attention. “So Nishikino really is a dyke. Figures. She always did seem weird as a kid.” Umi looked up to see Suzuharu Jun standing near their table, staring at Maki and Eli with disgust on his face. She was about to tell him to be quiet when Honoka shot to her feet. Icy dread washed over her but she didn’t have time to move. Honoka was already rushing toward him and before Umi could do anything, she had punched him square in the jaw, sending him stumbling onto a nearby table. “Oh shit.” Surprisingly, Hibiki jumped into the fray, grabbing Honoka by the back of her gown and hauling her back. Unfortunately Honoka wasn’t going to be deterred and struggled, managing to elbow Hibiki in the chin. Hibiki cried out in pain and let go of Honoka, her eyes watering. “Shit…” Luckily, Umi managed to get up and grab Honoka before she could move. The music abruptly cut off as Jun finally managed to get off the table. “What the hell, bitch?!” “Shut up, you bastard!” Honoka was seething, her eyes alight with rage. “Umi, what on earth is going on?!” Umi looked up in time to see that her mother had rushed to the table in concern. “Um…” “Sonoda-san, what is your daughter’s guest doing?!” Umi wasn’t sure who said that but she didn’t care to check. “She hurt Amagi-san’s daughter!” “That’s not all she did.” Jun angrily pointed to his bleeding lip. “They really do just let any nobody in here, don’t they?!” “What an ill behaved girl…” Someone mused thoughtfully. “Don’t talk about her like that!” Umi snapped angrily though she didn’t notice who had said it. She heard someone come up behind her and looked over, ready to tell them to back off. It was only Maki and Eli though. The each took one of Honoka’s arms and pulled her away from Umi, quickly leading the way outside of the hotel. Hurriedly, Umi followed. The four of them stayed silent as Maki steered Honoka around the corner of the hotel. Maki pressed Honoka back against the wall so they could stay hidden. She opened her mouth to yell at her but paused, noticing she was in tears. “What the hell happened back there? Why did you do that?” Honoka silently shook her head as Umi appeared at her side. “Damn it, Honoka.” Umi muttered, glancing back over her shoulder to make sure nobody had followed. “Honoka, why did you do that?” Eli asked again, firmer than Maki had. “You need to tell us so we can understand!” “I did it for Maki-chan!” Honoka exclaimed loudly. She pressed her hand to her mouth, trying to choke back a sob. “He deserved it! He was saying really mean things about you and I didn’t want to hear it! He doesn’t know you, h-he had no right!” Maki softened at how upset Honoka seemed to be. And on her behalf at that. “Honoka…” She trailed off as she heard footsteps approaching. She looked up in time to see her father rounding the corner. “Papa…” “I think it’s best if you go home for the rest of the evening.” Jin said, pausing a few feet from the group of girls. “You’ve caused just about enough problems for the night.” “Are you…?” Maki trailed off, at a loss. “Is that all you care about? My grades and my status? Papa, I’m sick of being treated like this. You know I’m dating someone and it’s not a phase. I’m...in love. I’m in love with her.” She blindly grasped for Eli’s hand. “I’m gay. I’ve never been interested in boys and I’m certainly never going to marry one!” “You’re only acting like this because you’re in an all girl’s school.” Jin said with a weary shake of his head. “After all, it all started with an affair in school.” “No, I’m not! Even when I’m in college, I’ll prefer women!” Maki retorted in frustration. “Do you really think Eli is the only girl I’ve ever liked? She’s not! I even liked girls in junior high and it was a co-ed school. It’s NOT A PHASE!” Jin was silent for a moment, contemplating what to say. “Maki, please think about what you’re saying. We are not in North America or Europe.” “I know that!” Maki’s voice was choked with emotion but otherwise firm. “I’m sick of hiding who I am and letting people think this is nothing. It isn’t nothing to me!” Jin sighed. He could see that Maki was getting increasingly upset. He looked to Eli, causing her eyes to widen in alarm. It amused him slightly, that the girl seemed intimidated by him. He supposed he should feel like that. He would want anyone pursuing Maki to be intimidated by him. “Ayase.” “Y-Yes sir!” Eli squeaked, straightening up. “Take care of my daughter tonight. I’ll try to keep people from speaking about what happened this evening.” Jin’s gaze flicked to Maki who looked close to tears. He could tell that she would be much better off with her friends tonight. With her girlfriend. “Just please protect her.” He turned his attention to Umi next. “As for you, Sonoda-san, I’ll leave it to your parents to speak to you about your guest’s...misbehavior.” He turned to walk away but paused after a couple of steps. “Kousaka-san. I would never say that violence is right but I understand you were defending my daughter. I appreciate that.” “Uh…” Honoka stared after Jin as he disappeared around the corner. “I thought that would be a lot worse…” She wiped quickly at her tearstained cheeks. “Maki-chan, I-I’m sorry. I was just...after what happened at school two months ago, I-I never want to hear anyone bullying you again.” “You idiot.” Maki let go of Eli’s hand and stormed over to Honoka, hugging her fiercely. Every time she’d been targeted by someone, Honoka had jumped to her defence without a second thought. It was easy to see why Eli admired her so much. “You damn idiot.” She felt Umi and Eli join the hug, embracing them both tightly but she made no effort to pull away. She was too spent, both physically and emotionally. “Hey are you guys okay?” Eli, Umi and Maki stepped away and Honoka looked toward the corner, seeing Hibiki walking toward them. “Oh god, Biki-chan, I’m so…” “Eh, it’s nothing.” Hibiki briefly touched her jaw. “I got the asshole to tell me what he said after you left. Then I punched him again. Now he’s crying because I broke his nose or whatever but man is his face made out of metal or what?” She held up her right hand, showing her grazed and bleeding knuckles. --- Nico watched as Kotori picked at the food on her plate, her eyes downcast. She’d barely taken two bites. “Could you please stop moping and eat something? You’re going to make yourself sick.” “I can’t.” Kotori looked up at Nico. She felt like she couldn’t swallow past the lump in her throat. “Honoka-chan hasn’t spoken to me in two weeks. A-And Umi-chan keeps asking me if I’m alright and I just...” She trailed off, biting her lip as she looked down at her food. “I’m sorry, Nico-chan. Your cooking is lovely but I can’t.” Nozomi sighed and put down her chopsticks. “Where are they anyway?” Kotori shrugged her shoulders. “Umi-chan had to attend a fundraiser. I don’t know where Honoka-chan is.” “You’re going to have to apologize even if you don’t want to.” Nico pointed out. “You shouldn’t have confessed when…” “I know, I know!” Kotori exclaimed irritably. She’d heard it from Nico a hundred times already. “I know, okay? Shit, I haven’t even told Umi-chan about it. She’s probably going to ignore me after that. She should already be ignoring me...” “It’s good that you realize what you did to her was wrong.” Nozomi said with an approving nod of her head. “You just have to prove you really are sorry.” “Umi-chan is sorry too.” Kotori muttered, scuffing her foot against the floor. “She keeps saying that. She should be sorry.” “Look why don’t we just relax and watch a movie?” Nozomi suggested hopefully. “Kotori-chan, you need to stop thinking about this so much. If you obsess over it it’s going to drive you crazy.” “I guess…” Kotori mumbled though she couldn’t help but want to talk about it. “I’ll go and find a movie.” Nozomi stood up and squeezed Kotori’s shoulder before she walked out of the room, calling over her shoulder. “Nicocchi, don’t you dare touch those dishes!” Nico scoffed and shook her head, standing up and reaching for the dishes. “NICOCCHI!” “Ugh, how does she do that…?” Nico muttered, rolling her eyes. She set the dishes down and glanced over at Kotori. “Come on. I guess she’ll take care of the dishes later.” “R-Right!” Kotori stood up though she hesitated to move. “Um...why are you still being nice to me?” “I don’t know.” Nico sighed. “Just because you were being ignorant and selfish that doesn’t mean they weren’t. Still I’m not as mad at them as I was with Eli. They were wrong but it was inevitable.” Kotori nodded and finally followed Nico through into the other room. Nozomi was sitting in the middle of the couch, a movie just starting up on the TV screen. She patted the seats at each side of her, summoning them over. “Turn the lights off, Nicocchi. I found a horror movie.” “Great.” Nico groaned though she obediently turned the lights out before she moved to the couch. She sat at one side of Nozomi, leaning close to her while Kotori quietly took the other side. Kotori watched the two as the movie started, taking note of the way Nico shifted closer to Nozomi until she was practically pressed against her. In turn, Nozomi’s arm went around Nico’s shoulders though she didn’t say anything. She didn’t even tease her like Kotori had thought she would. Nico’s head came to rest on Nozomi’s shoulder and Kotori’s brow furrowed. She wanted to ask them if they were together but before she had a chance, a scream rang out from the tv. It didn’t especially startle her. What did startle her was the answering shriek from Nico. She looked to the screen, noticing the ghost emerging from a painting. She giggled as she looked back at Nico, finding she’d buried her face in Nozomi’s chest. “Nicocchi, are you okay?” Nozomi asked, struggling to hide her amusement. “Y-Yeah, it’s just...you know I hate this stuff.” Nico peeked at the screen only to let out another yelp and hide her face again. “Should I turn it off?” Nozomi gently rubbed Nico’s back to soothe her. “N-No, just keep doing that. I’ll be fine…” Nico let out a shuddering sigh and tried to turn back to the movie. “If I’d known you were this scared of horror movies I’d have offered to hold your hand, Nico-chan.” Kotori said, a slightly teasing tone to her voice. Nico was about to snap at her for teasing her but hesitated, realizing that Kotori was making an effort to cheer herself up. “I’m fine. Unless you’re scared?” “A little.” Kotori lied, averting her eyes briefly to the TV screen. “I mean I’ll be fine though…” “I guess it can’t be helped then…” Nico sighed and got up from the couch, switching spaces with Nozomi. She pressed herself close to Nozomi again but held out her hand to Kotori who took it and held it carefully. “I’m not gonna break you know.” Nico said with a roll of her eyes, tightening her grip on Kotori’s hand. Kotori tightened hers in response. “Nicocchi is so sweet.” Nozomi whispered in Nico’s ear, causing her to blush brightly in response. “Yeah, whatever. Just shut up…” “Both of you are cute.” Kotori observed with a soft smile. They would make a good couple, she thought. If they weren’t already. “Ugh, both of you shut up!” Nico exclaimed. “Fine. Sorry, Nicocchi.” Nozomi pressed her lips just behind Nico’s ear, causing her to shudder slightly. Kotori had been watching them and had noticed Nozomi’s gesture. Her eyes widened in realization and she quickly turned back to the movie. So they were together. That certainly explained a lot. “Um, I was thinking maybe I should go home tonight. I know you said I should stay over but maybe I should…” “Stay over? Sure.” Nozomi looked past Nico at Kotori. “It’s Friday and you told your mom so it’s no big deal, right? Besides, if you leave me along with Nicocchi she might take advantage.” Nico scoffed. “Screw you.” She said, her tone light. “See?” Nozomi smirked. “Come on, just stay. We want you to stay, right Nicocchi? We can stay up watching movies until we fall asleep.” “Of course we do. We offered, didn’t we?” Nico agreed, glancing at Kotori. “You’re staying.” “O-Okay…” Kotori leaned back against the couch with a small smile. At least she still had Nico and Nozomi. --- “Arisa is sleeping over at Honoka’s so we shouldn’t be interrupted tonight.” Eli said as she stepped into her apartment, Maki’s hand in her own. She glanced back as Maki paused to close the door behind them. She couldn’t help but notice how drained Maki still looked. “Do you want something to drink? I could make coffee.” Maki shook her head and looked up at Eli. “Shut up.” “Ehh? What did I…?” Eli promptly fell silent as Maki pushed her against the nearby wall. The question on her lips was answered when Maki leaned in and kissed her deeply, pressing their bodies flush together. Eli kissed Maki back without hesitation, her arms going around her girlfriend’s waist to pull her close. It wasn’t more than a few seconds before she felt Maki’s hands go to her gown, bunching up the fabric so that she could touch bare skin. She gasped softly as Maki’s thigh slipped between hers, pressing firmly against her centre. She turned her head, even as Maki’s teeth tugged at her lower lip. “W-Wait, aren’t we going too fast…?” “I would say we’re not going fast enough.” Maki pressed her knee up further, causing Eli to whimper. “I’ve been thinking about doing this all night. And I think you have too. You feel ready…” “Ahh, Maki…” Eli tilted her head back, her eyes closing as Maki’s lips danced over the skin of her collarbones and down her chest. She did want to take it slowly but she wanted Maki to touch her even more. “Do whatever you want to me.” She hooked her leg around Maki’s waist and tried to grind closer to her. “Now who’s trying to make this go faster?” Maki mumbled against Eli’s heated skin. “Maybe I should draw it out. I do want to take my time with you at some point tonight. Really take my time and touch and kiss you everywhere, listen to you whimper and moan my name…” “Maki, you’re killing me…” Eli whimpered as Maki lowered her foot back to the ground. “Hey…” “Shhh.” Maki kissed Eli again, humming in satisfaction at the taste of the blonde’s lips. She reached around for the zipper of Eli’s dress and slowly unzipped it. With a couple of well placed tugs it pooled at Eli’s feet. She looked her over, biting her lip. “I’ve seen these but I’ve seen you wearing them for me. I got a new set I want you to see really badly, Eli…” Eli’s mind raced to her brief glimpse of Maki’s bra strap back at the hotel. “Show me.” Maki chuckled low in her throat. “I don’t know. Maybe I should make you wait until after I’ve had my way with you.” She slid her fingers down Eli’s stomach, into her panties. “W-We’re not even in the bedroom yet…” Eli protested meekly. “I want to do you against the wall.” Maki slid her fingers through slick, heated folds and Eli moaned and threw her head back, hitting the wall with a thump. “You’re wet. How much were you trying to keep yourself from misbehaving at that stupid party anyway?” “You looked really hot. In your dress.” Eli moaned and grasped at Maki’s shoulder in case her knees buckled. “And seeing your bra strap kind of...turned me on. Just what are you wearing anyway?” “You’ll have to see when I get you upstairs. I think you’ll like it. Just sit back and let me make you feel good for now though.” Maki drew back her hand, sinking down and tugging Eli’s panties down her legs. “Take off your bra.” “W-Why don’t you do it yourself?” Eli stuttered, trying to gain some kind of control over the situation. She was answered with a dark laugh followed by a slightly stinging bite to her thigh. “Ahh, okay okay…�� She leaned slightly away from the wall and reached behind her, unclasping her bra. She tugged it down her arms and tossed it somewhere to the side. “Maki, I want to touch you…” “Later, I promise. I’m-” “Not later. To my room, now.” Eli said firmly, finally running out of patience. “Alright, alright.” Maki straightened up and kissed Eli briefly. “Just let me pick your clothes up in case your parents come home. I’ll meet you in your bedroom.” Eli felt a surge of excitement. “O-Okay.” She kissed Maki once more before she turned and headed toward the bedroom, adding an exaggerated sway to her hips. Maki stared at Eli’s ass as she walked away, only looking away when Eli was out of view. “Okay, Nishikino. You can do this. Just like in those American TV shows and movies. You’ve got this.” She took a deep breath before she scooped up Eli’s clothes and made her way to the bedroom. She found Eli lying on her bed, propped up by her elbows. “God…” She muttered to herself, her eyes raking over the blonde. She closed the door behind her and dumped Eli’s clothes on the floor. She made sure the door was locked before she stepped closer to the bed, unzipping the dress herself. Her stomach fluttered with nerves but she pushed at it, letting it pool at her feet in much the same way as Eli’s had earlier. Eli felt her jaw drop as she looked at the garter belts, black stockings and the practically see through lacy red and black panties and bra. “Th-This is what you bought?” She asked, licking her lips as she looked Maki over. The bra pushed her breasts up and somehow made them look bigger while the panties hugged her hips perfectly. “Uuuhh…” Maki planted a hand on her hips, letting Eli’s gaze rake over her. “You’re staring too much.” “I-I can’t help it.” Eli looked up at Maki, noticing that her ears to her neck were red with embarrassment. It was obvious she was trying to look sexy but she was nervous about it at the same time. “Come here.” She reached out for Maki who took her hand. With a quick yank, she pulled Maki on top of her and kissed her deeply. “You’re so fucking gorgeous, Maki. If you think I’m going to let you sleep tonight, you’re wrong…” “Wha…?” Maki yelped as Eli flipped them over and kissed her again. She didn’t argue though. She settled for wrapping her arms around Eli’s neck, drawing her closer as she needily kissed the blonde back. TBC
