a call from home

Reni receives a sudden call at midnight.

for god-za's fabulous director ! ( ao3 link )

A quarter 'til midnight. The night is quiet, the windows fully draped with curtains swaying slightly to the gentle evening breeze. The only sources of illumination visible to Reni's eyes are those from the faintly glowing moon, its twinkling stars, and the tiniest lightbulbs slowly flickering on and off that decorate the whole town with the spirit of Christmas.

Reni leans a little further back into his seat; legs crossed and fingers entwined altogether across his chest.

This isn't the first time he's spent the holiday season away from home. Earlier this week, GOD-za opens their annual string of Christmas-themed performances. It's an event he swore to oversee until the end, and never miss. But as the General Director of the most fabulous theater company in Veludo Way, one of his utmost duties is to meet up with important people and negotiate potential sponsorships effective hopefully at the beginning of the following year. He can't let any opportunity like this to pass. Especially if it's for the future legacy of GOD-za.

"Although," Reni wistfully says, "it does get a bit lonely sometimes."

Reni glances down at his wristwatch; and a defeated sigh slips through his lips.

It's that time of the year again and his age is gradually getting the better of him. Too bad there isn't anything he can do to actually address having to feel this way, every once in a while. It's just the nature of people. Humans, he believes. The older they grow, the more attached they are towards each other, and thus the more difficult it gets to live apart from them.

Reminiscing about the past, his growthーtheir growth, and what the future could possibly look like, all comes to a sudden pause when a familiar sound reaches his ears. 

Reni looks back from over his shoulder. It's his phone. It's ringing.

"Who in the world would decide to contact me at such a terrible time?" He wonders aloud.

Internally wishing for it to stop, the ringtone soon halts just as he likes. But not even a few seconds after did it start ringing back to life; prompting Reni to finally rise from his lovely seat by the overlooking view of the balcony window, and pick up.

Little did he expect a smile to appear on his face upon pressing the green 'answer call' button, though.

"Reni-saaaaan!" It's Shift.

"Hey, Shift!" That's Haruto's voice. "Have some manners when greeting people on the phone!"

Reni swallows a lump that formed in his throat. "It's alright, Haruto."

"Butー"

"We're so sorry for calling so late at night!" Madoka chimes in, worry filling every inch of his tone.

"All of you, calm down." Reni could almost feel his head throb. (He places a hand up to his temple, just in case.) "What brings the three of you together?"

"Oh, we wanted to surprise you!" Shift cheerfully answers.

Reni raises an eyebrow. "Surprise me? What for?"

"W-Well, it's supposed to be a special day for Reni-san so..." Madoka stammers.

"Ugh," Reni could recognize that groan from anywhere, any time. "Both of you, move aside."

With a quick clear of his throat, Haruto formally reveals their plan to the world.

To surprise Reni-san with an unannounced call and greet him a 'happy birthday!' when the clock strikes 12 on the 23rd of the month.

"We thought you might feel less lonely when you hear us," Shift admits.

"A-Although I think we could've waited until morning...?" Madoka still sounds skeptic.

It takes a good moment for the celebrant to fully grasp what 'the plan' is about. Reni blinks. Once. Twice. Since when, exactly, did they have this much time to spare? Didn't he leave them with a lot of urgent matters to keep their attention focused on?

"What about closing night? Have you all completed the preparations for that? And tickets! Have they sold out yet?" He had to hold himself back from shooting a dozen more questions in one breath.

"All fifty-six checklists done and gone, sir," Haruto reports. "I've already informed production of the precautions if in case anythingーlights, sounds, set, costumes, ticket selling evenーstrays away from what we originally planned."

"Readthroughs went flawlessly. We'll have a few more runs, from start to finish, early tomorrow morning," Madoka adds. "Well, later today, actually."

"My co-stars and I have Madoka's scripts memorized! Lines, entrances and exits, even adlibs, you name it!" Shift proudly says. "Haruto-san made sure to drill all that into our minds and hearts."

"There's nothing to worry about, Reni-san. We have everything under control," the trio says in unison.

Breathless. Reni couldn't believe his ears. Sure, he already knows these three are built off of a different caliber than the rest. But seeing such individual geniuses work so perfectly in-sync together is beyond anything he ever asked for; even beyond what he's ever done, he thinks. A dream turned absolute reality, if he may.

"So I basically lost my job at GOD-za," Reni ponders im awe.

A pause. He could've heard a pin drop if the three hadn't sternly, immediately objected with a loud and clear "NO!" in complete unison (again).

"I kid," Reni chuckles to himself. "Good work out there, everyone."

A sigh of relief, from both ends of the line. It seems so long ago, since GOD-za has felt this... peaceful. Secured. Fabulous.

"Isn't it about time you three tell me what you've been meaning to tell me? The main reason why you called."

"Oh, right." Shift urges his two seniors in his signature whispered-screaming voice. "On three, you guys!"

"Okay!" Madoka agrees in a quite forceful mumble of his own. 

"Hah?" Haruto seems to have lightly smacked his forehead with his palm in defeat. "Fine, fine. Here goes..."

One...

Two...

Threeー

"Happy birthday, Reni-san!"

"Heh. Thank you." Reni moves his free hand just above his heart. "I knew I could always count on you three.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting I must attend to."

"At this hour!?" Haruto shrieks.

Reni nods. "Indeed. Take note, Haruto. You'll be taking over my shoes, some day."

"U-Understood!" The pinkhead obediently complies.

"Please do rest immediately after, Kamikizaka-san," Madoka advices.

"Yeah! And we'll celebrate properly when you get back!" Shift declares.

"Alright, alright." Reni finally bids them farewell. "I have to go now. See you, then."

As the call ends, Reni puts his phone face down onto his lap. He allows his eyes the luxury to look outside once more, and there he notices, that the world does seem even prettier than before. 

Now, GOD-za's general director can rest assured, that the future is truly in good hands.

whole batch of requests from discord! this time it's power swap au

[bitchapalooza]

Zolu au where Luffy is a god visiting earth(“visiting” he basically lives there now for the past 100 years), Zoro is just your regular run of the mill retail worker, nothing extraordinary ever happens to him. He falls for a customer that only comes for the in store sandwich shop chain where sometimes Luffy hangs out with Zoro during his breaks(a lot like some other employees but he mainly likes to hang around Zoro!) They start to hang out outside of Zoro working though—in which Luffy confesses(I say confess but actually he’s never kept it a secret like he believes he has, it’s so obvious lol) shortly after that he’s an ancient sun god that technically shouldn’t still be on earth but whatever. Zoro doesn’t know how to respond. I mean. He literally did prove it to him right before his eyes. And it explains lots of weird things that happen around Luffy. But a god? Zoro’s atheist ass looks Luffy straight in the eyes “god isn’t real”. That’s it. That’s the au. An ancient god, as old as the sun itself, and an overworked retail worker who also happens to be an adamant atheist fall in love.

Honestly out of all the things I am not surprised that pure vanilla to play a role into me returning back to cookie run. I was always fond of that cookie even before I knew of his lore

....I just didn't expect my return would happen through him getting his own toxic yaoi ship, is all.
