#yuichiro is broken

[mewkwota]

I focus on the Light/Hikari Family the most, but every so often I'll look over to Wily's line too. It never actually occurred to me that my helmetless take on King would be the exact same as Wily's only human son (somehow I forgot Regal existed at the time, oops sorry).

Also is it not funny that both are named after something like royalty? It ends up working out, yay I hit a full-circle without thinking again! ( ~' <')~

Alas boys, your dad would not know everything about Wily's family. (1) Why would he? (2) King is kinda estranged now. (3) Maybe ask Grandpa.

When I said that a young Haruka lived rent free in my head, I meant those doodles (and a couple bit more than a couple others that I didn't bother to find) live rent free in my folders. Maybe one day I'll actually clean them and turn them into actual drawings. But, more importantly, I should learn to draw dogs.

And babies. But yeah, especially dogs.

[giggly-squiggily]

hii! I have a request for your event ❤️ I came across this headcanon about Muichiro ~ sometimes when he sees his reflection, he gets sad or upset because the image reminds him of his deceased twin... like his other half is missing from his life 🥺 but luckily Kagaya and Amane are there to brighten his mood with some tickles! Trust that his adoptive parents will always keep a watch over him 🙏

Thank you for considering my request! I hope you're having a good day or night!

(Headcanons to Dabbles: OFFICIALLY CLOSED)

Oh this one HURT! But like- who doesn't love some angst in the afternoon! :D No seriously, this was fantastic for a headcanon, and I adore Kagaya and Amane being foster parents to him cause Muichiro deserves it! I've gotcha covered!

CW: Angst. Hurt/comfort, Character death mentioned.

He hated mirrors.

He hated how wherever he looked into them, he only saw Yuichiro. He saw his twin’s eyes, his nose, the almost permanent frown on his lips that shook with refrained tears. He hated that he couldn’t see his brother smiling back at him. Even when he tried to, it looked as broken as he felt.

Muichiro wanted to shatter the mirror. He turned away instead.

“Tokito? Come, join me.” Kagaya’s soothing voice stopped him in his tracks. “If you have the time, of course.”

“Always, Master.” He nodded, his feet carrying him where his heart hesitated. Soon he was sitting beside the older man, looking out at the courtyard. It was a lovely sight- a landscape of trees and greenery and birds chirping in the wind.

Yuichiro would like this.

Any comfort he had faded near instantly.

“Your mind is elsewhere. Do you wish to share?” At Kagaya’s gentle prompting, Muichiro found himself speaking. He told him about Yuichiro, about how his family lived in the mountains. He told him of the winters they’d all survived beneath several blankets, and how in summer he and his twin would go swimming in the stream to cool down. He told him of his parents demise- and how it stole away his brother’s youthful nature. He told him of their fight, and eventually, their end.

When he finished speaking, his eyes were wet, and he found both his hands were taken. One in Kagaya’s, and one in Amane’s. No words were needed, and he didn’t know if he could find them anyway. Instead, he squeezed them both back tightly. “I erm…thanks for listening to me.”

“But of course. You’re one of our children. We’ll always listen to you when you need to talk.” Kagaya smiled gently at him- the gesture making him want to cry all over again.

“Now now, no more tears.” Amane spoke softly from behind, her fingers tapping into his sides and making him giggle. “A heart needs sunshine after such rain. Wouldn’t you agree, my love?”

“Oh but of course. You’ve taught me that all too well.” He turned to the pair, smiling as Muichiro snickered and squirmed in her arms. “Hold him for me, love?”

“But of course.”

“Nohohoho! Nohooht twohohooho of yohohohou!” Muichiro cackled as his sides and stomach were prodded at, torn between curling up in a ball and rolling away. In the end, he just kinda took it, curling his hands into fists beneath his sleeves as he laughed.

At some point, he swore Kagaya and Amane looked like his parents. Another point, he saw Yuichiro. They were smiling at him, just like before.

He felt that comforting feeling from before seep back in, this time to stay.

Faded Memories (Muichiro x sister reader)

(Warning: Spoilers for season three of demon slayer and Muichiro's backstory. Gore, death, reader death, angst, blood.)

(Y/N) quietly slid the door of her home open to see her brother, Muichiro, kneeling next to their mother as she let out a string of coughs. A frown appeared on the little girl's face as she slowly approached the pair. Her mother lay on the mat, a cloth placed on her forehead in an attempt to comfort her. (Y/N) joined her brother at their mother's side, both of them looking down at the woman, neither of them said anything, only focused on the ill woman.

"Don't worry, father will be back soon" Muichiro told his mom, the storm still raging on outside of the small home. The woman didn't reply, eyes closed tightly as two of her children tried their best to comfort her. Muichiro quickly took the cloth off of her forehead and dipped it back into the nearby pale of water. (Y/N) placed a hand on the woman's forehead, winching at how hot it felt.

"She's burning up" the little girl commented, looking over at Muichiro as he placed the now damp cloth back on his mother's forehead. The two watch helplessly that night as their mother succumbs to her illness, little did they know, their father had met his own death after falling off of a cliff.

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

Muichiro, Yuichiro, and (Y/N) all worked together to cut wood, having to take care of themselves since the death of their parents. Muichiro had remained optimistic despite the circumstances, though Yuichiro wasn't keen on pretending that everything would be ok. (Y/N) did her best to keep her spirits up and keep her brothers from fighting as often as she could, though it didn't work. After a particularly bad fight the two brothers weren't talking to each other very often, (Y/N) being the only one either of them would openly communicate with. One night (Y/N) lay awake, the heat making it hard for her to fall asleep. The area was mostly silent aside from the quiet sound of crickets chirping outside. The little girl's attention was so focused on staring up at the ceiling that she didn't notice the shadowy figure entering the house. When she did spot the stranger she could feel her entire body begin to shake with fear. Her heart began to race as she remained still, hoping whoever had broken into her home would leave without noticing her. However, much to her horror the figure turned to face her and in an instant, they pounced on her. (Y/N) didn't even get the chance to scream before the figure's hand covered her mouth. Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes as the stranger raised their other hand and within a second, the little girl's life was swiftly brought to an end.

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

Muichiro slowly opened his eyes as he sat up, the heat bothering him to the point where he couldn't stay asleep. The little boy slowly got to his feet and made his way across the room to get some water, however, he noticed a tall figure out of the corner of his eyes. Muichiro slowly turned his head to face whoever it was, only for his eyes to go wide with horror when he noticed the fact that the figure was holding his sister's bloody body in its grasp. The little girl's eyes had gone dull, and blood stained the area around her neck. (Y/N)'s limp form dangled from the figure's grasp as Muichiro found himself staring in horror.

"(Y/-(Y/N) the little boy said, hearing his voice the figure turned to face him, dropping the little girl's body to the floor. Muichiro was too scared to move as the shadowy stranger prepared to finish him off as well.

"Muichiro!" Yuichiro called out, rushing forward. He jumped in front of his brother, getting his arm sliced off in the process. Both boys dropped to the floor in shock, Muichiro doing his best to comfort his brother. He pulled both himself and Yuichiro toward the corner of the room, the two being cornered by their attacker. Suddenly, Muichiro felt something deep in the pit of his stomach. An intense feeling of rage bubbled over as a scream louder than ever before escaped his lips.

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

Muichiro stared at the battered body of the demon, rocks having crushed its head and its limbs impaled with wooded spikes. The sun slowly started to rise and as the light reached the creature it turned into ashes. Muichiro turned back to his home, his body feeling heavy. He fell to the ground but forced himself back to his home. The inside was covered with blood and both Yuichiro and (Y/N) lay on the floor. (Y/N) was completely limp, eyes open, but dull. Her neck was sliced open, dried blood staining the area. Yuichiro was still alive, but barley. The place where his arm used to be was bleeding, and he was muttering to himself. Tears welling up in his eyes, Muichiro crawled toward his brother. Finally, he began to solve as it dawned on him. He was all alone.

Hi Bibi, i just want to say you’re doing amazing and your post are literally ADDICTING. I was a little worried because I didn’t know if Wind Breaker would get a lot of attention on Tumblr yk? (Just because it’s new) AND YOU CAME AND SAVED ME. I love you, your brain, and your page. Please keep going and I WOULD LOVE to hear your thoughts on new episodes/chapters (only if you want). Thank you for feeding my delulu brain. Hugs 🫂

OH YOU SWEETHEART COME HERE YOU!!!! 🫂 I’M NOT CRYING I SWEAR.

thank you for the kind words dhdjkd i don’t know if i’m worthy of such praise too like—everyone leaving cute (and unhinged ofc) stuff in the tags and in my inbox gets me all giddy and blushy and!!!!!! Seeing you guys enjoying my stupid ramblings means the absolute world to me (i see you guys in the tags and i read every single one. Love you you freaks 😏) fun fact, I only started writing fics on this account and only for windbreaker so all the interactions and thirsty feedback I get genuinely, genuinely makes my heart do the boom boom. So smooches to every one of you!!!!!! (only if you want them. you could exchange it for a headpat if you want ig)

ok enough of the sappy stuff. WINDBREAKER TIME!

windbreaker blowing up on tumblr is so so so well deserved. i was genuinely shocked because it took a little bit for the hype to catch on???? the seiyuus are literal legends (in my eyes hehe), the animation’s SO FUCKING GOOD LIKE HELLO!??, the op and ending song aren’t ass??????? I’m super excited for what’s to come for our fandom and the anime. ALSO fun fact, I have the fattest crush on Umehara Yuichiro so him voicing Togame literally brought me to my god damn knees, bro. I’m expecting Eguchi Takuya to secure a character too bc ofjfkdkd his voice would be perfect for a villain.

also may or may not have picked windbreaker up bc I saw a character named Kiryu and an eyepatched character and I 😮👈😮👈 YAKUZA REFERENCE!!!!! (probably not but the coincidence is silly to me)

I’m not super caught up on the anime (on episode 7 atm!) I wanna savor every episode and binge them back to back (also bc my hubby’s got so much screentime I wanna savor that him EVEN MORE YUM YUM YUMMY). Caught up on the manga though and I Have Thoughts.

(spoilers under the cut)

the endo fight’s scaring me, man. also super fucking worried about ume bc WE HAVEN’T SEEN HIM FOR SO LONG??? the chair throw spooked me. also worried about ume’s vegetable garden. I know it’s getting trampled to shit. also very worried about sakura. he’s getting all banged up by endo, his nose is probably broken now wtf he was bleeding SO MUCH.

chika’s scary too. both him and endo. i honestly don’t know what’s gonna happen next like, they’re both so unpredictable and unhinged that my butthole’s clenching in sheer terror.

I’m also very concerned about suo. WHY HAVE WE NOT SEEN HIM EATING (or maybe I’ve missed a panel lol) but with every food offer he’s ever been given, he turns them down. also the fact that we only know him on a surface’s surface level even when he’s one of the main boys is scaring me. we’re 140+ chapters deep and not one single suo morsel for us to nibble on. I don’t want a betrayal thing happening ok lol that would be my tipping point i fear.

OKAY I WAS RAMBLING TOO MUCH AHDHSHAHHA

if you guys want me to yap about a chapter or an episode or potential seiyuus for other characters or if you just want my thoughts on things (i am a Certified Yapper), i am directing you to the askbox! This was super fun!! Extremely forgetful too so this could help me remember all the stuff that’s happened so far.

thank you so much again for sending over an askkskfnnxnx heaven knows i needed a little pick me up today. you delivered and made my entire day, sweetheart!!!!! Ily!!!!!!! 🥹

ALL TOO WELL PART III (CONTINUATION)

YUICHIRO X READER

The moment the girl's lip pressed on his cheek, you felt your world stop spinning.

You knew right there and then that you needed to get out of there fast as you couldn't hold your tears that's threatening to spill out.

As you hurriedly walk outside, you quickly look for the nearest bench you could sit on as your legs feel about to give out.

But all the energy left you, making you stumble and sprain you ankle, making you yelp in pain, you plopped down in the grass, not caring if your dress will be smudge with dirt.

But you couldn't focus on your sprained ankle, the scenarios keeps playing on your thoughts.

Yuichiro smiling at another girl.

Dancing with another girl as they were crowned the king and queen prom night.

Everyone was cheering on them, "They're so cute" "They look good together" "are they together?"

And that girl kiss his cheek, everyone cheered loudly at the scene, shipping them all the way.

While you stood there and watched the scene unfold.

When you came back to your senses, you quickly stood up, wincing in pain, you look at your ankle at starts to swollen, taking off the heels, you looked around if anyone had seen you. Letting out a sigh when the coast is clear.

You quickly limp on the the nearest bench. Looking up at the sky to stop the tears that's trying to escape. No, you're not going to let yourself be seen this side of you. You're always the one who's strong among your friends. Never allowing anyone to see how vulnerable you are. Being weak should not be in your vocabulary.

You closed your eyes, trying to control your breathing, the tightness on your chest makes you wanna scream out, but then again, you keep reminding yourself. He wasn't yours to begin with, there was no promises to be broken, he wasn't yours to lose.

And that thought alone makes your heart clench, not understanding why you felt this way.

Laughing to yourself as you shake your head, you felt silly. Already knowing no one could ever understand how you feel, it was better to keep it all this together to yourself, no one should ever know.

Why are you now on this spot? Secretly crying and alone. Oh, it was because you became so comfortable and had set high expectation that you didn't stop for a moment and try to think that not everything is a fairytail.

For now, you need to fix yourself, taking off your satin gloves to use it as your handkerchief to clean off the eyeliner that smudges on your face.

"Y/n?" You frooze as you try to wipe your face, looking up, you see Yuichiro looking at you in concern look.

Upon seeing your tears stain face. He quickly rushes to your side, asking what was wrong.

"My ankle" You managed to whisper, thankful that you have an excuse to why you're a mess right now.

"You're so clumsy Y/n" Yuichiro scold you out of concern as he examined your swollen ankle. "shit! It's swollen. We need ice!" He exclaimed, looking frantically.

"Wait for me here" he told you before dashing off inside the venue to probably gets some ice in the juice or whatever.

He came back not too long with Mari and Muichiro with him.

You smile awkwardly to them, waving them off "I'm fine, you should go back inside" You try to reassure but Yuichiro flick your forehead scolding you, "What's fine with that" pointing at your swollen ankle.

"He" was all you could say.

He did some kind ogmf first aid on your ankle while Mui and Mari assist him, you try to wave them off to enjoy themselves inside and not to waste their time on here with you but they insisted.

"Alright I'm taking you home" Yuichiro muttered, Looking back the two, "You should return now, I got this."

He reached his hand out to you to pull you up, once your up standing, he drape your arm to his shoulder to support you walk, and called a taxi and the two of you went home.

"You are so clumsy Y/n" Yuichiro repeated again.

"I know" you muttered. He was right. You're clumsy, you always don't seem to know where you going, you always fall, like falling for him and you ended up hurting.

Once you're outside in your door, Yuichiro frown, "I'm sorry"

"What for?" you asked.

"I'm your date and I'm supposed to take care of you, not only didn't get a chance to share my first dance with you, I failed to take care of you" he muttered quietly, kicking the small pebble on the ground as as he stared at them in disappointment.

"It's okay Yuichiro" You said, smiling slightly to him as you lightly pat his head.

"I feel bad" he said.

"You should be" you wanted to say but stop yourself.

"I'm fine Yui, and it's not your fault I'm clumsy hehe" you said, squeezing his hand to reassure him but deep inside you wanted to scream buy you knew you didn't have a label.

"I promise to be there for you" he said,

And that's the first promise you didn't believe.

I thank @cloudymistedskies for letting me use Mari as Muichiro parter

HEADCANON

Big Brother's

Au moderm

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

Kamado Nesuko

•. Nezuko is a young lady with a noble and pure heart, she loves her family and her brothers, and you are not an exception, she loved you immensely and always is very sobreprotec with You, /not as much as tanjiro but almost the same/ .

•. I would protect you a lot from Zenitsu, even though you are a year younger than her, she doesn't want him to bother you or compliment you, she takes her role as a sister very seriously, and even more so if someone is bullying you in high school.She would confront your bullying behind your back along with Tanjiro.

She would try to reason with words, but if it doesn't work ....she would use violence as the LAST reason, even though Tanjiro doesn't like the idea...

•. Play. being revelde girl with her doesn't work, either you behave or she behaves with you, she doesn't accept rude behavior and even less from you, you would listen to a firm sermon from her and if it doesn't work she would go to tanjiro.

•. Forget about going out to secret parties or dating. Without permission, Nesuko is firm with this, you are too young for those things .

She would have an eye on you even if you don't know it...

•. Obviously they would have girls nights! ,she would put you together with Kanao and Aoi, Nesuko just's want them to get along well.If you are very shy or self-conscious I would try to get you out of your shell little by little with patience, after all, kamados are very extroverted!

except the little Rokuta

•. If Nesuko found out that you liked a boy in a platonic way, she would become very protective of you in that case. She wouldn't really let you see that guy, but if you kept talking about him, she'd become even more suspicious, thinking that he's trying to "control or woo you" and stuff like that. She wouldn't let you date anyone for a while. He doesn't want you to get hurt. At least not until you're a little older, and that also depends on the kid. She really doesn't want her little sister to get hurt and get your heart broken.

Kamado tanjiro

•. Tanjiro is the best older brother you can have, he has a sweet smile and is a walking sun, just like Nesuko he adores his entire family and his siblings, he likes to see them happy, especially Nesuko and you, they are his adoration. and little treasure, he is very protective of the two of you, and often treats you like a baby biscuit.

•. He would wake you up early so that you can go to the academy together and I would prepare your bento, they are delicious and very cute!~ If he is busy making Takeo and Hanako's bento. Nesuko would make yours.

•. He would help you study if you go to him for help, he would stop everything he was doing to focus on you, it doesn't matter if he is tired or he was watching videos, he would always try to be the best brother figure for you, Nesuko and the others.

•. He is very overprotective, he does not allow any boy to compliment you or court you in front of him, especially Zenitsu, you would get along well with Genya, Zenitsu Inoske. muichiro, yuichiro, kanao, aoi, since he and neUko brought you together, tanjiro wants you to socialize and get along with his friends! I wouldn't force you to leave your comfort zone, but he would give you gentle pushes.

•. Being brat or vulgar?

Tanjiro would be very lenient and understanding with you, he has VERY great patience, but he has limits.. He would give you a gentle wake-up call if necessary. He prefers I want to fix things by talking and explain to you why your behavior is not appropriate and correct.

But if that doesn't work unfortunately and with all the pain in his soul, he would give you a gentle reprimand so that you would learn from his mistakes. And if necessary, he would use a more serious and even more concerned tone to make sure it didn't happen again.

Tanjiro is very scary when he is upset, he always tries to give the best smile in every situation... but he is also human and has his limits

•. Night escapades or secret meetings?

Tanjiro would notice it instantly, because of your smell of happiness and man's perfume he would begin to suspect...., if he caught you he would pull you by the ear and drag you home, he would tell your mother but for your sake,

He doesn't wants you to be rebellious, he cares a lot about you, he would reprimand you, he would have a look of slight disappointment for the whole week, but he would forgive you, he is very understanding, he can't stand being upset with someone for a long time, especially not with you!

7for the nonverbal meme :)

It felt forbidden.

Heart wrenching wails of what could only be called despair, white hot rage aimed at the world seemed to mute out everything in the area. One foot slid outward, one step, another, Yuichiro crossed the bridge between himself, one hand held up to keep the other kakushi which trailed behind him. A silent order to them to keep looking after the injured passengers, stay back allow him space to handle this.

Seconds stretch on for eternity. But he was there, stood tall, ethereal teal gaze focused on the broken child before him. Out of the three, the older mist hashira remains focus on the screaming, broken sobs of the boar. A sullen neutral expression finally broke into a visible look of painful sorrowful concern.

“…..dumb wild boar…?” an endearing insult given to Inosuke from simpler yet painful times. Daybreak had come, the battle won, and the flame Hashira sat dead not a few feet away from the trio..

He only gave Kyojuro a grateful nod of reverence, that broken aching in his own chest clawed for tears to come. But tragedy, for yuichiro, was something he had come to be.. comfortable around. Enough to keep his own emotions in check, to focus on the living.

“…..I’m here.”

How long had it been since he’d seen the other? Years. It had been years. Perhaps the boar no longer knew his voice. Or recognized his scent. Hell. For all he knew, maybe inosuke also thought him dead, or didn’t remember him at all, like Muichiro. His hand reach outward, only to hesitate, then fall to his side.

Was it better to walk away? Did he still hold scorn? Would Inosuke still…?

His heart couldn’t take it. The screams were too raw, too painful. Before his thoughts could stop him, the ‘mean twin’ had fallen to insuke’s side, pulled the far more muscular frame into his embrace. Despite his small stature, the older of the two had been buried in his chest, his only remaining arm held him in a tight embrace with his cheek pressed to the top of his hide and just held him there. He didn’t offer him warm words that would only ring hollow in the face of such grief. Only held him. The same way he was held by his father when his mother passed. The same way he held muichiro when they became orphans. The same way he held his dear, precious little brother, the day he woke up from that horrible night which stole Muichiro’s memories.

[cloudymistedskies]

Chapter 1: “Run away?”

// Mari tries to decide whether to go on with her plan or not... //

Mari looked up at the ceiling and letting out a soft sigh, her thoughts were running wild as recall the event last night. She was now contemplating a decision but she's also skeptical whether she would go for it or not.

"On the other hand, I could have easily just go with no problems, my parents wouldn't even notice if I'm gone. I don't really have use being in this home..." Mari muttered to herself, the bitterness in her words was so real she could taste them. "But..." She paused, remembering the twins she made friends with. Their parents recently died, they were at their lowest right now, and she bowed to be their strength and be there for them, and if she were to leave them like that, that would crush their already broken heart, leaving them more vulnerable.

But maybe, if she trains to become a demon slayer, she could protect them, keep them away from danger, this is for their own good too. Of course, she could tell it wouldn't be that easy and she's willing to risk it all but...

"Hmm..." Mari kept looking up at the ceiling, unsure what to do now...

"Marilyn! Could you go get the clothes that are hanging outside?" Mari's father requested, snapping Mari out of her thoughts, her gaze now fixed on the sliding door.

"Coming!" Mari yelled, and stood up from the floor before she stepped outside and picked up the basket and started putting the clothes in.

As she takes the basket of clothes back inside the home, the young brunette didn't to notice her surroundings, accidentally bumping into something or someone.

"Ow!" Mari fell in her back, the clothes scattering all over the floor. As she rubbed her butt and letting out a quick wince, she noticed a familiar figure and realized she bumped into her own mother.

"..." Silence filled the room and without even looking at the child, her mother walked off without a word. Mari slowly picked up the scattered clothes, placing them back in the basket before standing up straight and walking away as well.

After doing her father's requests, Mari went out and heads up to the mountains, the sounds of crunching could be heard as Mari steps on the fallen gingko leaves. Every single time she comes across her mother, her mood immediately becomes gloomy and always ends up with her thoughts filled with questions.

Why doesn't she look back at me? Why won't she smile at me? Why doesn't she even acknowledge my existence?

As she continued walking, her mind becomes more and more occupied with the questions that would likely never be answered.

Am I just this child that they only kept out of pity? What did I do to make her just not acknowledge me? God I hate--

"Mari!" The girl's thoughts were interrupted by a young boy's yell, her head shot up as she turns to the source of the noise. Her expression lights up recognizing who it is.

"Mui!" Mari immediately runs up to the long haired boy, wrapping her little arms around him as she pulls him into a warm embrace, instantly forgetting her thoughts prior upon seeing the boy she cherished. Muichiro returned the gesture and hugged her back, the two of them laughed together.

"Sorry I wasn't here earlier, I needed to help out with something!" Mari apologized, sweet smile lingering on her face as she looks up to Muichiro who was still grinning at her, matching the smile on her face. He shook his head

"No need to apologize, Mari!" Muichiro reassured, smiling back at her. In the meanwhile, she notices his older twin, Yuichiro, who was crossing his arms, eyebrows furrowed, lips in a thin line as he looks at them, it seems that he's waiting for the two to finish their little reunion so they could go back to their house. Mari waves at him shyly and he nods her in acknowledgement.

"Sorry about that, Yui!" Mari holds Muichiro's hand and started to walk him back to their house. Yuichiro just nodded and followed the two.

'Ever since their parents died, Yuichiro seemed more harsher compared to before... The times I offered them help, Yuichiro would always outright refuse them...' Mari mused as she looks behind to the Tokito twins. Things really changed... Mari looks away, her lips now formed into a frown. She felt really bad for what the two had to go through...

The trio continued walking until they reached their home. Mari watches the two put the firewoods they were carrying in their backs and stacked it with the other firewoods. Mari just stares at the twins, leaning against the wall.

'I do wonder... What would those two think if I just...suddenly disappeared? I mean... I won't disappear forever...I'll be gone for probably months...a year maybe... Or even more...' Mari wondered in her head, while she watches the two twins. Mari seemed to be absorbed in her thoughts, not noticing Muichiro waving her hand in front of her face.

"Earth to Mariiiii...? Hellooo....!" Mari blinked, snapping out of her thoughts and noticing Muichiro right in front of her. Mari's eyes were wide for a moment. She didn't even realize Yuichiro already went inside their house.

"Ah! S-Sorry, Mui!" The girl apologized again, sheepishly smiling at the long haired boy before her. Muichiro stares at Mari with a worried expression.

"You alright, Mari...? You've been acting off for a while." Muichiro asked, slightly tilting his head. Mari just nodded, giving a warm smile.

"I'm alright, Mui! I probably just didn't sleep much..." Mari answered, trying to put Muichiro at ease. The long haired boy didn't seem to believe her, but he decided not to push on and the two eventually entered the home. Mari sat on the floor, smiling at the twins.

"Soo...Hows my favorite twins doing?" Mari asked, trying to start a conversation with the two, and fiddling her brown hair with her finger.

"We're doing well!"

"We're okay."

Mari hummed, enjoying the two's company despite how different they are. Though she enjoyed Muichiro's the most. She spent her time with the two, rambling on either about anything she had in mind, sometimes ranting about her mother. Muichiro would listen to her rambles with a smile and respond to her conversations. Yuichiro would only listen, sometimes he lets out a few words.

"..And there we go! Yay! This is the last origami for today!" Mari beamed, finally able to finish the origami she's been struggling to fold for a while... Muichiro also beamed and leaned closer to the brunette girl.

"Wow! You did it, Mari!" Muichiro cheered out, grinning at Mari and feeling proud of her. Mari looks at the flower-shaped origami with pride.

Meanwhile, Yuichiro is busy preparing dinner. Mari looks at the sky, and realize it was now evening. She gasped, standing up and rushing to the door.

"I should get home before dinner! I don't wanna end up being late, again!" Mari exclaimed, sliding the door open, she turns and smiles at the twins.

"Oh, okay!" Muichiro nodded, feeling slightly disappointed that Mari had to leave. As Mari was about to run off back home, Muichiro called out to her. Mari turns her head to see Muichiro standing out the house.

"When you visit tomorrow, I'm gonna teach you how to fold a bird!" Muichiro yelled out to her, promising Mari that he'll teach her how to fold a bird with how much she always struggled folding one. Mari's smile dropped, now her gaze on the ground as she began having second thoughts about what she's about to do. She then quickly shook off those thoughts, looked back at Muichiro, smiling at him before running off, yelling her goodbyes.

It took a while, along with a few 'side-quests' along the way when she was heading back home, but she made it in time. She glances at the two adult figures eating together as she headed upstairs, waiting for her turn. For some reason, she was never allowed to eat with them, and was only allowed to after they're done eating.

'Food has been less enjoyable without nii-chan...' Mari thought as she rolled around her futon, feeling her stomach growling for food. She then stood up, sneaking out of her room and standing by the stairs. Her ears perked up at the conversation her parents are having.

"Your sister has been sending letters to you lately. Are you certain you don't wanna read them?"

"I have no reason to. I don't need to talk to her."

The young girl was quite curious now. She didn't even know her mother had a sister until now. Part of her wanted to keep listening, but boredom was starting to take over her as she heads back, waiting for her turn to eat.

Eventually she was called by her father, and she heads downstairs to eat whatever is on the table.

The small child was left eating alone as she debates in her head. Part of her wants to run away, find where her sister is and become a slayer like her. It's not like her parents would even notice her sudden disappearances, as there has been a few incidents of her not returning home a few days and at least with her father, he wasn't that concerned of her disappearing. She probably could even disappear for a whole month and neither would notice.

And with the whole thought of leaving her two friends behind, she realizes that maybe she could be more useful to them. She can protect them from any danger. And the thought of being by her sister's side once again...

So she had a clear answer. She was gonna run away and become a demon slayer. But of course, she can't just disappear without a word. At least not to the twins.

So after eating her dinner, she sneaks to her parents' room, taking a pen and paper before heading back to her own room and began writing a letter for them.

A few minutes passed and she was done with the letter. Now comes to the next part of packing up. She packs up whatever was needed, clothes and such, and even managed to steal a few snacks in the kitchen. She waits for her parents to sleep, and once they did, she slowly sneaks out of her home.

The young child was once again climbing up to the mountains, the letter in one hand and the other clutching a knife just for self-defense. She hoped to the gods that she wouldn't encounter a demon once again, knowing that if she did, she would be nothing more than either a corpse, or a meal...

Mari had reached the twin's home and as expected, the two were fast asleep. Mari stares at them by the window, the twins looked so peaceful, she wanted to say good-bye but she knew she couldn't leave if they begged her not too, letting out a soft sigh, her sad eyes lingering a bit, her heart aching as she took one last look at them before turning to place the letter in front of their door. She turned and started walking away, but stopped once again, turning to look back at their home for one last look, she gave a sad smile to it, tears welled up in her eyes as she proceeded to her journey.

"I'll be away for a while. I'll be back as soon as possible, I promise you both." Mari whispered, hoping for the best for the twins. She turns back and started walking heading back to the village, with the intention to wait there for her older sister's crow to fly by.

Mari waits outside her home, kicking her legs as she waits for a certain bird to fly by here. She knew that her crow would only visit around midnight for some odd reason. Not sure why, but she didn't dwell on it too much.

Her gaze was fixed on the midnight blue sky, the stars glimmering as the sounds of crickets filled her ears. Soon enough, she heard another sound. A familiar 'CAW' in fact. She knew it was the crow her sister owned. Mari peeks and notices it dropping off a letter before flying off, and then she quickly stood up and adjusted herself before following the bird.

"I'll see you soon, nii-chan... I can't wait to see you once again." The brunette mumbled as she quickly followed her crow, hoping it guides her to her beloved sister.

TAISHO ERA SECRETS:

Mari is (currently in this story time) an 11 year old girl who lives in a small village that is near the mountains. Growing up, Mari didn't necessarily have the best childhood, with her mother ignoring her existence and her father only doing the bare minimum by feeding her and a few things. Her sister, Riko was the one who took care of her before she went to become a demon slayer, herself. Due to that, she looks up to her older sister a lot.

And that's edited because I updated it to fit Mari's current lore AHAHA

Yippee yay! Chapter 1 finally is here !!! You get to see uhh...what mari will be like ! ! ! !

I'd like to give big credits to @unofficialmuilover for this...she proofread some if not most of these

and @blessingstarss too HDSFHDSFHDF

[hyuccubus]

It's always so romantic when a creative has wanted to be that for their whole lives, isn't it? An artist is interviewed by the New Yorker and they say they were holding a crayon before they'd been weaned, forever a refugee in this reality, homesick for the worlds they've dreamed since their neurons learned how to remember.

So what do you do when you've wanted to do something, and you just don't believe you're worth it? When you make the decision for yourself to never try, because it's not worth the rejection, or the sneers, or worst of all, being overlooked. Did we mention the artist in this profile is only 19? Their influences are Caravaggio, Van Gogh, Bosch. They're halfway up the mountain, and they're not leaving behind pitons for you.

I wanted to be a gymnast. No son of my father would be a cheerleader. Good news, Dad, you went to your grave thinking you had a son, and now I could only ever hope to get down the fundamentals. I used your inheritance to buy your grandson a trampoline.

I also used some of that money to get myself a skateboard. I'd always wanted to learn. It burns my ankles, tears my calves to shreds, but by God, it's good exercise. "Thirty's not too old," I tell myself. It's all in my mind. By the time it's bedtime, it's all in my lower back.

I wrote my first song when I was 18. It was called "Swear" and it was about a girl that broke up with me. The idea's there, but the person that wrote that is a stranger to me now. I'm writing the third song I've ever been proud of, and it's about how I deserved to be broken up with, when I was young and foolish and pretending to be someone I wasn't. I'm leaving the plateau, putting one hand into the face of the cliff. I didn't mean for it to take this long. Taylor Swift is four years older than me. I don't want to be her, I just want to have that kind of confidence. Do I dislike her music, or am I jealous, afraid, wondering if all of my best ideas bled out of me before I finally took that leap?

Maybe there is no best idea. Maybe there's what I'm proud of, and I have to grab it and hold onto it, clutch it to my chest like the fragile, injured thing that birthed it. Nurse it, love it, and never expect more from it than I'd expect from others.

Yuichiro Miura reached the summit of Mt. Everest when he was eighty. Edmund Hilary had to do it first, when he was younger and stronger and had the trail of the eight that had come before him to guide his way. But I think Ed would be so proud of Yuichiro, don't you?

[sapphickocho]

I am Yuichiro's number one fan. He is so misunderstood and over hated, despite being such a well written and tragic character. He is a jerk to his brother, yes, but will wield a kitchen knife against anyone who utters a word against Muirichiro. He hates his parents for dying, but misses them so so very much. He dies protecting his twin and calls him infinity. In the end behind his cold façade, he is a child who will give his life for his family. someone who was to young to act all grown up and to young to be broken.

to young to die.

[whirling-fangs]

Soft clatter of metal scrap across wooden flooring, the burn of oxygen leaving him gasping so softly for the air his body refused to taken. His whole form covered in many different healing wounds. Ranging from critical severity to left over bruising. He’s only just awaken from the final battle. One of the four surviving Hashira, the first to wake up between the twins.

He shouldn’t be on his feet, yet he was. And here he was, stumbling, tripping just a bit, but he steadies himself with the help of his iv hanger. Yet. He carefully walks.

Well. Stumbles. Until he reaches his destination. Inosuke’s bedside.

Where he sighs so softly, carefully setting down besides him. And with a shuddering hum, he reaches his nimble fingertips out and carefully ran through those black blue tipped locks. With a tired smile, unnaturally pale skin, he hums softly.

“….t…Told ya.. you dumb boar. I promised. I promised I’d live. We both did. Mui hasn’t woken up yet, but he’ll be okay.”

“But I’m up. I’m here. I heard you.”

Time had become a blur. Ever since Inosuke had woken up in this bed, with a familiar ceiling above his head, the hours (or were they days?) had ticked by so slowly that he could almost feel them slide across his skin. "

It didn't take him long to gauge the seriousness of his injuries. The damage was profound, but none of it was beyond repair. His flesh had been sliced into over and over, the blood drained from him, cuts mended and opened again, muscles pulled to their furthest limit... but he didn't break.

With those few seconds of introspection out of the way, Inosuke's mind was free to rush to what really mattered: the fate of his comrades. Some names he didn't have to speak to the blue nurse, his foggy memories turning sharper as some visages floated across his mind. A butterfly clip in the empty-eyed girl's hands. The nurse's own expression, carrying a sadness beyond words.

For some of the names, the nurse could not give him an answer. Soon she was called to duty again, to tend to those whose fate was undecided. To those who were still fighting.

And so Inosuke could only wait, wait for those excruciating seconds to tick by... until slumber got hold of him once more. He drifted to a heavy, uncomfortable sleep, broken only by a gentle touch running across his scalp.

Blink. Blink. His eyes opened wide at the third time, a bandaged hand immediately grabbing the boy's wrist.

"You... what are you doing here?! She's gonna kill you! Shinobu..."

His voice died in his throat, a choked cry, his grip loosening around Yuichiro's wrist. The elation he had felt upon seeing those turquoise eyes had been fleeting, crushed by the weight of the losses they had all suffered. It took him several seconds, but Inosuke managed to put a smile upon his own face again.

"I knew. I always knew you'd survive. Now sit down, you idiot.. or the blue nurse will take away our dessert."

Tanjiro, Giyuu, Sabito, Makomo and Murata are all Firefighters under Urokodaki’s command.

They have a pet fox they rescued from a fire, who Makomo cheekily named Tomoe.

“Really Makomo?” “It’s cute!” “We are FIREFIGHTERS! We can’t AFFORD bad luck!”

Nezuko and Zenitsu are studying to be paramedics, and Nezuko jokes that their ambulance’s siren is broken and Zenitsu provides the noise.

Kie jokes that her eldest got set on those paths after Tanjiro got his burn scar saving Takeo from a kettle, and Nezuko tried to treat it.

To be fair, she isn’t exactly wrong.

Speaking of the Kamados, Kie runs a fairly popular bakery/restaurant that Mitsuri also works in, and is regularly attended by a biologist named Iguro.

Iguro and Nezuko have beef after she thought he was creeping on Mitsuri and kicked him in the shin.

Iguro’s foster family, the Rengokus, are all teachers. Shinjuro and Hakuji both teach martial arts, while Ruka and Kyojuro teach history.

Kyo’s teacher friends are Sanemi, Kanae, Tamayo and Hinatsuru.

Sanemi has a beef with Tanjiro after Tanjiro thought Sanemi was abusing Genya and tackled him out a window.

I’m not sure what Suma and Makio’s jobs are, but Tengen (Kyo’s best friend) is a professional DJ.

Genya is an aspiring social worker, inspired by Gyomei, who got Shizu out of her abusive marriage and placed Kanao with the Kochous

[dragon-queen21]

you love Seraph Of The End too??:0 I have the first two books actually!

.

.

Do you have any hcs (agere related or not) of any of the characters?^^/nfta

Yes I do! Oh my gosh!!! This makes me so unreasonably happy /pos

I found the first three mangas at a booksale. Funny because I was just contemplating making hc’s for this series. Hehe >:3

Take my half ramblings half headcanons. Also I am not far into the series so apologies if anything is off

~~~

~This series gives off the vibes of Wind Breaker and The Promised Neverland /pos

~I got unfairly attached to Mika in the first 60 pages he was shown only to have my heart broken. My boy deserves better 💔 (I’m aware that he comes back later in the series but I didn’t know that at first and was heartbroken let me tell you)

~Also the found family vibes. I love it. Again everyone deserves better.

~People can fight me on this one but Mika and Yu are brothers I just don’t see them in any other way. Then again I just really like found family so (shrug)-

~Okay agere time now >:3

~Yuichiro is 100% a trauma regressor. Regressing to babyspace mostly

~I think before Yu lost his adoptive family Mika looked after him. I know he was very young at the time but he definitely would have regressed even if he didn’t know what was happening to him.

~Just little things like Mika coming back one evening with a stuffed toy or a special meal for them to enjoy, trying to make time spent small at least somewhat enjoyable

~Yu mostly regresses after nightmares once making it above ground. He’s small and just shakes under his blankets longing for Mika to come and comfort him though he never will

~In the back of the first manga under the character introductions it says that Yu gets lonely easily and now I’m only imagining him being so obstinate about never regressing with anyone around.

~Only to be little and cling to his new friends like the world would end a second time if they get out of his sight for even a moment

~Youchi definitely regresses as well. Probably tries to be a caregiver/older brother for Yu but they both are just too little

~Contemplating if Mika would be a regressor or not. Though both boys have been through enough trauma to justify it. Maybe an age dreamer. Hmm

Lampshades on Fire

Well the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out- This is what i really call a party now- Well, fear makes us really really run around- A-this one's done so where to now? Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all- Well, you all know what i'm talking about- The room lights up, but we're still dancin' around- We're havin' fun, havin' some fun now- Pack up again, head to the next place- Where we'll make the same mistakes- Open one up and let it fall to the ground- Pile out the door when it all runs out

made me think of the aftermath of one offshoot where giyuu gets exiled, something something mother killed & replaced by a spy nin and giyuu found out and killed said nin- tsutako only saw giyuu killing their mother & she chased him out of the clan for treason in a fit of despair/broken heart/trust. Giyuu fled to the Urokodakis for comfort from his pack (Sabito & Makomo), they ended up fleeing the southern valley entirely for saftey & then its adventure time :)

they kinda just do their best to distract themselves from the pain of leaving their home the only place theyve really known (& giyuu from the despair & feeling of betrayal abt his mother & sister- their culture is super close so being outcast is VERY serious). really just exploring their wider world outside the word of visiting merchants and learning about the realities people live, avoiding getting killed as rogue nin, finding other rogue groups, meeting new allies-

tomioka to urokodaki & past sends them to the east side of the mountains in the land of Rain, smthn like the kamados get whiped out and im thinking either they meet the whole kamaboko quartet later & adopt em all at once or they rescue tanjiro & nezuko in the middle of a raid & end up also taking in zenitsu & inosuke, loop back north to the bigger Northern valley in land of Volcanoes and meet kyojuro senjuro mitsuri & obanai, group heads west along the northern shore of the great lake into land if Wind and get muichiro & yuichiro, around this time learning of an odd group searching for a way to harness power from the sun based on an ancient myth of the continent's early history(nod to the hq!! msby team, on their own little quest to chase the sun), head around the great lake and meet gyomei at the middle mountain, head south and meet kanae shinobu & kanao at the flowering edge of the swaths of forest and swaths of grassy plains either way, heading into the plains southeast-ward and meeting sanemi genya & masachika, swinging back southwest-ward to avoid the southern valley and heading into land of Forest where theyre caught in the middle of a war between the uzui and another clan, quickly heading back north with a new quartet to the group at their warning the wars only get worse further south around the borders to land of the Dead & land of Ice

its the widest-reaching branch so far, just a massive adventure around the ramshack continent i stuffed several different anime series into and pieced together with ducttape & spit- land of the Dead & land of Ice have vampires, bloodbenders, shadowbenders, demons, an assassin bloodline, ...gojo, its not very fun down there<3 and i didnt even mention land of Water or land of Sand to the west & north respectively- i imagine their journey already would take a few years though, especially between keeping a bunch of kids in line, happy & healthy, and teaching them how to fight & defend themselves while they dont know where they are

map #28363610 ive made for this au.. i fucked up on the bottom mountains, left 'claw' is supposed to be bigger and the middle one's supposed to like. seperate the bottom so Koori's split into 'west' 'east' and 'coast'- also the southern valley's thinner and higher up in the mountains than the north valley (i.e. Very Dangerous, tomioka & urokodaki got it set UP in there getting paid to guide merchants through) and i couldnt add it, but theres a massive frozen lake at the top of the mountains betweeb the southern valley & Koori

SHORT SERIES PART I

YUICHIRO X READER

Part I: Love is Caring

Love. 

They said love is patient and love is kind.

But for y/n, love is everything but that; love is neither patient nor kind. Love is cruel, a parasite that slowly gobbles you up until you got nothing to give. Love isn't quite like those enchanting fairytales we often hear about. In reality, it can sometimes feel like a bit of a nightmare that you have to endure.

Love is an incredible rollercoaster of emotions where you experience a whirlwind of feelings, yet there are moments when you may feel a sense of emotional numbness as well.

And there is only one person to blame,

Yuichiro.

The boy who she once believed her entire world. Yuichiro, her first in everything, from playmates to friends to best friends. The one who used to shield her from cruel bullies and other kids in the playground. The one who would support her as she navigate through the confusing world of puberty. Her first taste of love. Her first sweet kiss. However, he has become the one to shatter her heart, leaving her to pick up the broken pieces.

One week into kindergarten and young Y/n's attempts at making new friends have been nothing but a disaster. The little girls in her class have continually ridiculed her, going as far as forcefully pulling at her newly-fixed pigtails adorned with delicate ribbons. Tears filled Y/n's eyes as she desperately tried to defend herself, leaving her once neat hair in disarray. On top of it all, they snatched away her precious ribbons, causing her scalp to throb with agony from their cruel gestures.

Young Yuichiro, having observed this incident and instinctively acting as an older brother, protectively positions himself in defense of y/n, asserting his authority by crossing his arms while wearing a displeased expression.

He firmly insisted that they should apologize to Y/n and return her ribbon ties. However, those little girls got scared of Yuichiro's intimidating demeanor, which prompted them to discard the ribbons onto the ground and run away from him.

Glaring at their retreating figures, he let out a small huff before bending down to pick the ribbons ties up. As he turned to meet the gaze of the little girl, Y/n, who was seated on the playground, tears streaking her face, he couldn't help but wonder why she let those kids ridicule her.

And in Y/n's eyes, he appeared to be the epitome of a knight in shining armor, much like the beloved cartoon characters that she loves to watch during noon time.

The young boy reached his hand towards her, "get up" he said, his face scrunching, as he gazed upon her, But y/n didn't cower away from him, instead, she innocently grabbed his hand and he pulled her up

"Why are you allowing them to push you around?" Yuichiro inquired, concerned clearly in his mint-green eyes as he curiously observed her.

"I actually wanted to make friends," she said, pouting slightly, her flushed cheeks showing her vulnerability.

"Friends don't hurt each other," he stated, frowning at the idea of friends causing harm to one another.

"Then, would you like to be my friend?" she innocently asked him.

Yuichiro stared at her, realizing that she likely asked just anyone to be her friend, but he didn't refuse her. Slowly, he nodded before little Y/n let out a delighted squeal and hugged him.

That's how their beautiful friendship began. As they were growing up, Yuichiro and Y/n formed an unbreakable bond, becoming the best of friends. Even though Yuichiro had a younger twin brother, Muichiro, his connection with Y/n was something extraordinary. Yuichiro always made sure to be by her side, supporting her in every situation with genuine care. Spending as much time as  they can with each other, building a strong bond and cherishing precious moments.

Once you and Yuichiro got to high school, it was clear that you two were practically joined at the hip. The two of you had such a strong bond that even a mere facial expression was enough to understand each other completely.

You and Yuichiro headed out of the classroom together once the class was over, and waited for Muichiro to join you along the way.

Once Muichiro caught up, he excitedly began chattering away about the adorable and sweet girl he had encountered in his class. With a cheerful grin, he turned to you and shared, 'She is just so cute and jolly!"

You couldn't help but smile as you listened to him excitedly chattering about this girl. "look! That's her!" He eagerly pointed, tugging on your arms to make sure you saw her too. Turning your gaze in the direction he was indicating, you spotted a girl with brown hair tied up in a pretty black bow. She was slightly shorter than Muichiro, but radiated cheerfulness as she eagerly waved at us. "Hi Mari!" He called out, his grin reaching ear to ear as he waved at her.

"C'mon Y/n, I'm so excited to introduce you!" Muichiro chirped with joy, gently tugging your arm as if urging you to join him. However, Yuichiro, his older twin brother, suddenly reached out and grabbed your free hand, as if trying to prevent you from going. You turned your head towards him, offering a cheerful glance to reassure him that it wouldn't take too long, and happily pulled him along with you.

He only grunted in response. You were so excited to invite Yuichiro over to try out the amazing new survival game you had downloaded online. It was absolutely fantastic! However, Yuichiro and Muichiro couldn't stay for long at your place, so he wanted to head straight there to make sure he had more time to enjoy but now, you were getting distracted.

Muichiro started to introduce you all three. "Hey Mari, I want you to meet my good friend, Y/n, and my older twin brother, Yuichiro," Muichiro cheerfully introduced, his voice filled with warmth and friendliness.

The brown-haired girl smiled sweetly at you and reached her hands out for you to shake, saying "Nice to meet you Y/n-san and Yuichiro-san."

"Hi Mari," you began, extending your hand to shake hers and murmuring, "Nice to meet you too." You smiled at the brown-haired girl in front of you, silently agreeing with Muichiro's observation that she is indeed cute. You gently nudged Yuichiro, who had been quiet beside you, to talk to her as well. He, being his snob self as always, listened to your signal and shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you too," he muttered softly. Mari hesitated as she awkwardly shook his hand, taken aback by Yuichiro's lack of enthusiasm. Your eyes widened at his tone, and you instinctively reached out, grabbing his arm. "I'm sorry about that, Mari. Yuichiro isn't feeling well, but he's actually a nice person." You gave her a reassuring smile. "However, we do need to leave now. It was genuinely lovely to meet you though." You smiled awkwardly before dragging Yuichiro away there and waving her goodbye.

"That's not very kind," you gently scolded your friend as you pulled him aside. Yuichiro has always had a bit of a distant demeanor, so it's quite remarkable how the two of you formed such a close bond.

"What?" he innocently questioned, even though you were aware he understood exactly what you were referring to.

"You should be supportive of your brother, he may have found his crush" you responded, squinting your eyes at him while the two of you waited for Muichiro to bid farewell to his friend, whom you had abruptly left behind.

"What? You can't have a crush on someone you just met!" he chuckled, shaking his head in disapproval.

You momentarily paused at his comment, relieved that he hadn't noticed your brief pause at his words.

'Yes, I definitely can,' you silently thought, 'I just didn't realize it was a crush until I understood its meaning.'

"I like you," you blurted out, caught off guard by your own words. The words slipped out before you could stop them. You widened your eyes, feeling the shock settle in. Your world suddenly stood still, heart pounding and hearing muffled. What the hell just happened?

Yuichiro froze, as if someone had drenched him with a bucket of water. "What?!" he exclaimed, blurting out the first word that came to mind. 

You scrambled to find an excuse, desperately saying, "I mean, I like you as a friend, you idiot," hoping he would believe your words.

Relief washed over Yuichiro as he let out a sigh. You couldn't help but feel a pang in your heart at his reaction. Was he relieved because you didn't have romantic feelings for him?

"Good! Because I never saw you that way. You're my best friend," he chuckled, playfully ruffling your hair.

"Hey!" You playfully slapped his hand away, annoyed that he had once again messed up your hair.

"As if! I would never see you that way either. Ewwww," you replied, mustering a playful tone to hide the fact that his words had actually hurt you. You were just best friends, nothing more.

"What ew?? Have you noticed all the girls swooning over me?" He playfully teased, chuckling a little. It's undeniable that girls were checking him out, while some looked at you with envy. They probably thought you were his girlfriend. You snort at the thought.

"They were just looking and trying to figure out if you're a girl or boy because of your lovely long hair," you playfully tease, chuckling at his adorable scowling expression.

"You know what would look super cute on you, Yui?" you playfully say as you grab two long strands of hair and pull them up in a playful pigtails style. "Aaaww, look at you! You look absolutely adorable!" you gush happily. However, he quickly slaps your hands away, causing his face to turn red.

Before Yuichiro could retaliate, Muichiro caught up with the two of you. He glanced at you, clearly perplexed by your uncontrollable laughter, which caused you to turn even redder with amusement.

You were incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to playfully banter with Yuichiro! If you were anyone else, you might have regretted it because of his snobbish demeanor.

The three of you decided to head out at your home and try the game you were talking about, the three of you did have a good time playing but when the sun is about to set, they bid their farewell.

"Bye Y/n!" Muichiro cheerfully shouted as he started walking ahead.

"See you tomorrow, Y/n," Yuichiro said, giving you a warm hug like any best friend would. As he turned to leave, he paused and looked back at you. "Oh, are you still not feeling well?" His question caught you off guard. "Not feeling well? What do you mean?"

"Hey, I can tell you're not in the best mood because of the way your eyebrows are slightly furrowed. And those twitching eyes? Your twitching eyes? They are a giveaway that you're feeling some pain even if you're trying to act tough. I also notice your body emitting extra warmth." He stated, gazing at you with concern lace in his eyes.

You were gobsmacked upon hearing his words. His keen observation has left you speechless. You made sure not to show any signs of discomfort in your lower abdomen too visibly so as to not make them worry, but Yuichiro was able to see right through you.

"Just a little pain in my stomach, I'm fine though" you replied dismissively, brushing off his concern.

"Do you have a period or something?" he asked nonchalantly, causing your face to flush with embarrassment. In response, you lightly smacked his arm in humiliation. "No!" You didn't have a period but even so, he didn't have to know that.

"Ow! What? I'm your best friend?!" He groaned as he rubbed the spot where you smack him.

"Yui! Go home now!" you urged, beginning to push him out of your home, your cheeks burning crimson.

Laughing, Yuichiro relented as you embarrassedly pushed him. "Alright, alright! I shall see you tomorrow."

As soon as they departed, you locked the door and let out a sigh. Feeling your cramps intensify, you went to the kitchen in hopes that drinking some water  and resting would alleviate them by the following day.

Your hopes were shattered, as the cramps you had been experiencing since the previous day had worsened. You appeared pale as a ghost during the final class, and the sensation of needing to use the bathroom persisted..

"Are you alright?!" Yuichiro asked you frantically as soon as he noticed your facial expression.

"Yes, I am perfectly fine," you sarcastically muttered, rolling your eyes at his blatantly obvious question, as it was evident that you were not okay. "No Shit, I am not fine," you groaned, holding your stomach.

He flicked his finger in your forehead "ow!" You hand immediately rub the area as you glare at the long haired boy.

"What did I tell you about bad words?!" He scolded you,

"I'm not that young Yui! And I need to go in the bathroom" you say, starting to head towards the girl's restroom with him following behind.

As you were about to enter, you looked over at him, raising your hands to halt him, with a stern gaze. "stay here" you muttered.

"Ha! As if I'm going to peak. I'd die first before seeing your ugly ass" Yuichiro counteracted with a playful smirk, arms crossed, and a slight scowl on his face.

You chose to ignore his comment and entered the restroom. To your relief, it was empty. You quickly made your way to the last stall for your business. However, to your horror, you noticed blood stains on your skirts. "Oh no," you muttered anxiously, your eyes widening as you realized it was your time of the month.

You frantically rummage through your bag and panic sets in as you come to the realization that you forgot to bring your in case of emergency pads and skirts. "Idiot," you mutter to yourself in exasperation. With everything hurting and no pads in sight, anxiety washes over you.

Time seems to stretch indefinitely as you remain in that state, desperate for a solution. Suddenly, you hear Yuichiro's persistent knocks and his booming voice from outside. "Y/n?!

You froze, you have completely forgot about Yuichiro waiting for you outside. The embarrassment you felt was overwhelming, making it impossible for you to explain your situation.

"Y/n-chan?!" Muichiro's voice called out to you, but you couldn't bring yourself to respond.

Then, Yuichiro spoke up again, his tone laced with concern. "If you're not going to answer, I'm going to kick the door open!"

In a panic, you yelled out, "I'm fine! I just have some issues."

But it was too late. The last thing you heard was the sound of the door being knocked open from the outside, followed by approaching footsteps.

"What the hell, Yui!" you exclaimed, feeling the full force of panic as a boy stepped into the girls' restroom.

"Where are you and what's the issue?!" his voice demanded.

"This is a girl issue, and I need another girl to help me. Not you! Get out!" you protested angrily, too embarrassed to handle the situation at hand.

Then, you heard more footsteps entering the restroom, accompanied by a rustling sound. Yuichiro's voice shouted, "Don't touch me!" followed by the sound of someone being dragged out of the restroom. Finally, the door closed with a sharp click.

"Y/n?" You heard a feminine familiar voice.

"Mari?!" You felt an immediate wave of relief upon recognizing her voice.

"I'm sorry, but I need some pads," you blurted out, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, don't worry! Let me just quickly check my bag," she replied from outside your stall. You could hear the sound of her rummaging through her bag before her footsteps approached the door. She knocked on it before you slightly opened it to grab the pads, mumbling your thanks.

She patiently waited for you to finish up before emerging out the stall, As she observed your flushed face, a look of concern crossed her own. You uttered in a timid manner, 'I've made a mess of my skirt,'Your hands instinctively dart behind you in an attempt to conceal the blood stains.

Her eyes widened slightly as she replied, "Oh, don't worry. Just wait here for a moment." She mumbled and swiftly left the area. After a few minutes, she returned, holding a dark blue long sleeve blazer.

"It's Yuichiro-san's, Use this" She instructed. Without hesitation, you swiftly took hold of it and secured it around your waist to discreetly conceal your behind. Grateful to her and to Yuichiro for lending you his uniform.

The both of you head out to see the tokito twins waiting for you. Yuichiro is now wearing a white polo uniform that was underneath his blazer before. He appears even more captivating than before, causing the girls to admire him dreamily as they walk by. However, his intense gaze is solely focused on you, with a slight frown etched upon his face. He pushes himself off the wall he was leaning against and approaches you.

You gave him a small smile and mumbled a thank you before he flickered your forehead once again. 'Ow! Yui!' You whimpered, frowning at him as you rubbed your head. 'Dumbass,' he muttered, rolling his eyes at you, snatching your bag from your hand, and tossing it in his back before urging you forward. You swiftly glanced at Mari and Muichiro, who were observing the two of you, and quietly muttered a quick thank you and waved them bye before proceeding out.

"What about Mui?" You asked his brother as you walked alongside him. "They're going to hang out after school," he casually replied, shrugging his shoulders. As you passed by some girls, you couldn't help but notice them batting their eyelashes at Yuichiro besides you while some give you dirty look. It didn't help that you were feeling vulnerable that moment because of your skirt but Yuichiro paid no attention to them.

Yuichiro gently put his hand at your back, he urges you to move forward and he walks behind you, subtly covering your behind. You lower your head in shame and walk straight, oblivious to the fact that Yuichiro is shooting fierce glares at anyone who dares to give you a dirty look or cause discomfort to you in any way.

I want to give credits and my thanks to @cloudymistedskies for letting me use Mari as Muichiro's partner in this short series. (It was supposed to be one shot but oh well)
