show me what my heart was worth

TAGS // pining? possible angst if you squint…

A/N // oh my god i’m brainrotting so bad about doppio again… i don’t fw vtubers/niji anymore but god i’ve loved doppio for the longest time… inspired by a poem read by seikyuu, also i wanted to try writing more romantically so this is my practice! italicized is the poem :)

oh btw no use of y/n, reader is just named “yuu”

i don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz, or arrow of carnations that propagate fire.

a soft, breathless giggle escapes your lips, your heart thumping, a steady drumbeat against your ribs.

“doppio?”

golden eyes glisten in the sunlight peeking through the curtains, the glow catching magenta locks within its embrace, framing his face. the dark hue staining his cheeks pales in comparison to the sight before you.

“yuu.”

i love you as one loves obscure things, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

his fingers reach out, brushing the hair from your face, tracing a gentle line down your cheek before lifting your chin, locking your gaze with his.

“what’s this about?” a teasing glint flickers in your eyes.

i love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom but carries the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself, and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose from the earth lives dimly in my body.

both of his hands find their place, cupping your cheeks, his fingertips tracing small, soothing circles. his head dips down, mere inches away, the ghost of his breath fanning against your lips.

a soft blush rises on your cheeks, and your heart races—a steady rhythm that fills your ears, threatening to skip a beat.

i love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

he leans in, closing the gap between you, his lips pressing against yours. his hands slip around your waist, pulling you closer, as if he could melt against you.

i love you directly without problems or pride

slightly chapped lips locked against your own, your remaining breath being stolen.

i love you like this because i don’t know any other way to love, except in this form in which i am not nor are you

he pulls away slowly, just enough to leave you craving more. you open your eyes, the world spinning around you, desperate for the warmth of his lips.

golden eyes meet yours—glistening, full of love that you wish were more than just a dream.

so close that your hand upon my chest is mine, so close that your eyes close with my dreams.

“AND CUT!”

you exhaled exasperatedly, coughing lightly to grab doppio’s attention. he jerks back, hands quickly leaving your waist, a flustered look crossing his face.

“s-sorry,” he stutters, that stupid blush returning to his face.

“doppi-chan, you’re way too good at this—looking like you’re actually in love with them!” a faint giggle comes from behind you, meloco’s voice cutting through the tension.

“who put the student council in charge of casting for this project again?” you ask, frowning as you step away from doppio.

“ver’s idea!” kotoka pops her head from behind the camera, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.

you roll your eyes, walking toward the eccentric girl, wanting to review the footage from the last few minutes.

doppio’s gaze never leaves you, his sigh heavy with the weight of something unspoken as he watches you talk with Kotoka.

“what’s wrong, lover boy?” the council president teases, narrowed eyes glinting with mischief.

“VER!” doppio exclaims, nearly falling out of the chair he was occupying. amusement flickers within ver’s eyes as he tilts his head toward the flushed boy.

“I—I WANT TO CONFESS TO YUU AFTER THE PREMIERE OF THIS PROJECT, BUT I DON’T WANT TO RUIN ANYTHING BETWEEN US, AND I JUST—MY FEELINGS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND—”

ver places a hand on doppio’s shoulder, silencing him with a gentle shush.

“take it easy, yeah? you might as well confess in front of the whole council while you’re at it.”

doppio’s frown deepens, but his voice falters.

“uhm… yeah..”

a small sneeze escapes you, kotoka blesses you quietly.

“i think someone’s talking about you,” she teases, poking your cheek with a playful grin.

you scoff, but inside, your heart is still fluttering—still thumping loudly from the moment you shared with a certain boy across the room.

“as if,” you mutter, your eyes drifting from the screen to doppio, who’s watching you with a quiet intensity.

three words echo softly, impossibly, in your mind.

i love you.

before forever

TAGS // slice of life, established relationship

A/N // stopped writing this story so i might as well post whatever i have left, this is context before the “like that” post. ps i hate the dialogue in this

Yu sighed as she rested her back against the cold metal of the locker behind her. “Late again, huh?” she thought aloud to herself. Tapping her foot impatiently, she picked at the folds of her skirt, pulling at an unthreaded seam. Not wanting to ruin her uniform any further, Yu huffed once more. Within the same motion she threw her backpack against the locker, sliding down with it.

Quiet footsteps were heard down the hallway, the silence in the room slowly being filled with the loud footsteps of none other than Sasha and Zenix. “Yu!” Sasha called out to the girl. Yu plucked out an earbud from her left ear, the direction which the duo had been coming from. With a frown on her face, she looked their way. “Hi Sasha,” she gave a half-assed wave, “Zenix,” before scrolling through the contents of her phone.

Within a few seconds the duo had made their way up to the girl slouched up against their leader’s locker. “Hey girl, why the long face?” Sasha crouched down to Yu’s level, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. “Yeah Yu, why do you look like shit?” Zenix commented, before getting a jab at his knee from Sasha. Sitting up a bit and adjusting her posture, Yu sat crisscrossed, the locker being her support. With a sigh she waved her hand around in the air, “I’m just tired y’know? My so-called boyfriend is lowkey a piece of shit.”

Sasha’s eyebrows furrowed together, trying to come up with an excuse for their pitiful gang leader. “Well, you see-“ Sasha sighed, trying to figure out a way to let Yu down gently.

“Cut the guy some slack, he’s doing Shadow Knight recruiting,” Zenix filled in the blanks of Sasha’s sentence, whilst scratching at the inside of his ear.

“We both know your lame ass group isn’t getting shit for recruits,” Yu glared at the red eyed boy while picking her backpack up and standing from her position on the floor. She dusted her skirt for any dust before slinging her backpack on her dominant shoulder. Sasha quickly followed her lead, uncrouching from the floor.“Whatever though, I’ll see you guys next meeting I suppose,” Yu gave the duo a two finger salute before walking in the opposite direction. The duo looked at each other, unsure of what to do. With a grimace on her face, Sasha directed Zenix towards Yu’s direction with her eyes.

Zenix cupped his hands together towards his mouth and yelled “Hey Yu! Wait!” hoping the girl had not walked too far from earshot. Yu turned around slightly, humming the tune playing in her right ear. “Gene said he’ll be waiting for you outside,” the boy pointed behind him with his thumb, in the direction of the school entrance. Yu did nothing but sigh, giving the duo a thumbs-up before continuing in the direction she had been going towards.

Quickly making her way downstairs, Yu took the long way to get to the front of the school. As the final song of her playlist concluded, the school doors opened to reveal none other than who she was looking for. But he wasn’t alone, there was a certain black haired girl next to him. “So Kitty, when’re you gonna give up being a good girl and join us?” Yu watched as Gene teased the girl before him. Rolling her eyes and scoffing, Yu made her way over to the two. “What did I say about bothering Aphmau, Gene?” The girl crossed her arms in disappointment, shaking her head as well.

Gene’s eyes widened at the sight of his girlfriend. “Y-Yu!” His face immediately turned red, the blush in his cheeks becoming hot enough for Yu to feel a few inches from below him. “O-Oh, Hi Yu!” Aphmau waved awkwardly at the girl, before she could say anything else repeated honks were heard from across the street. “APHMAU!!! IS THAT A BOY?! GET IN THE CAR THIS INSTANCE!!” A woman’s voice was heard screaming alongside the rapid honks. “MOOOOOOOOM!!!” Aphmau clutched the straps of her backpack before scampering towards her mother.

As the car drove off, Yu turned around towards Gene. “Shadow knight recruiting, huh?” She pointed towards where Aphmau had just left with her thumb. Gene’s face had cooled off a bit, his cheeks pink instead of the red from earlier. “Babe, you know the gang’s important to me,” he tried to reason, picking up Yu’s hands gently with his. Yu sighed, “More important than the date we were supposed to have an hour and a half ago?” Gene flinched as the realization dawned upon him. Yu rolled her eyes once again before intertwining their fingers. “It’s fine, the sun’s still up anyways. We can go to Hot Topic and you can buy me ice cream as an apology.”

Gene fell to the ground on his knees, “yu….” he wailed, hugging at his girlfriend’s knees. “This is why I love you,” he rubbed his face against her skirt, whilst whining like a child. Yu stuck her tongue out in disgust, trying to shake him off. “Get up you dork… God, how are you the leader of the Shadow Knights…” She mumbled the last part. Gene stood up, fixing his hair and tie, while Yu dusted off any dirt on his uniform. Before Gene could say a word, a few honks were heard behind Yu. He looked over her head to see his Mom waving from the car, signaling at him to come over. “Guess our ride’s here.”

— — —

“Oh, Yu! I wasn’t expecting you to be riding with us today!” Gene’s Mom gasped as Yu entered the car. “How’re you doing, love? Is your Mother okay? Tell her Hi for me when you can,” she gave you a warm smile. “Hey Maria! I’m doing great, how’ve you been?” Yu gave her a sheepish smile, fiddling with a stray hair. “My Mom’s been doing fine! I think she mentioned she was going to call you sometime.” Before Maria could respond, a car behind them had honked, signaling them to move from the pick-up lane. Maria shook her head, before driving towards their home.

“So what’re you two supposed to be doing today?” Maria questioned, tapping her fingers against the steering wheel. “Well, we *were* supposed to hang out today, but of course your beloved son forgot,” Yu sighed, shaking her head. “H-Hey! I did not forget…” Gene stammered, fiddling with his fingers.

“Sounds like him,” Maria chuckled.

TAGS // domestic fluff, making out… high-schoolers being high-schoolers, established relationship

CW // smoking…

A/N // been brainrotting abt bf gene… also y/n inserts make me cringe a bit so i named the reader Yuu…

"Do I really have to do this?" Gene laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck, a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

Yuu rolled her eyes as she tugged on the matching t-shirt, pulling at the hair that got stuck in the collar. "Don't act like I haven't changed in front of you before. Plus, this is your punishment for making me wait."

She walked over to the dresser mirror behind Gene, nudging him aside to turn and look at their reflection. A small smile crept onto her face as she giggled at the sight.

There he was—her stupid boyfriend, wearing an "I Love My Girlfriend" t-shirt.

ᯓᡣ𐭩.ᐟ ⊹

"So, how did we end up here?" Gene raised a brow, a smug, questioning look on his face.

He glanced down at Yuu, who was straddling his lap. Her oversized "I Love My Boyfriend" shirt hung loosely off her shoulder, slipping into unknown territory. She hummed in response, brushing her lips against his jaw, a content sigh escaping his lips.

"I mean… I'm not complaining, but—"

She pressed her index finger against his lips, shushing him softly. "Stop talking for a second," she murmured, inhaling the comforting scent of him as she rested against his chest.

Gene couldn't help but smile. His girlfriend was just too cute. He gently stroked the top of her head, fingers brushing through her hair. He didn’t know what he did to deserve this, especially since he'd forgotten their plans for the day.

Yuu sighed softly before breaking away, staring at the starstruck look on Gene’s face. He gave her an alarmed look, tilting his head slightly, awaiting her next move. Her lips curled into a playful smile as she leaned in.

Gene's breath caught for a moment, leaning in as well, expecting her lips to meet his. Instead, she snickered and dodged, continuing to tease him by brushing her lips along his jaw, her warm breath grazing his skin.

"You’re so mean..." he muttered, his lips forming a pout.

A smug smile spread across her face. "I’m soooo mean, I know," she cooed, brushing her lips closer to his. "But don't worry, I'll make it up to you."

Gene nodded eagerly, wanting nothing more than to kiss her. His hands found their way to her waist, slowly inching down to her hips, rubbing small circles in hopes of convincing her.

Yuu smirked, finally giving in. She pressed her soft lips to his, but only for a moment. She giggled as she pulled away, enjoying the sight of his flushed expression.

"C'mon, sweetheart, don’t be like that," Gene furrowed his brows, bringing a finger to her chin and tilting her face upward. He leaned in, his lips just centimeters from hers, his breath warm on her skin—a mix of mint and nicotine, just like Gene.

Before Yuu could respond, Gene's lips were on hers, a quiet groan echoing between them. Her breath hitched, giving Gene the opportunity to deepen the kiss. One hand cradled her face while the other remained at her hip, holding her in place.

Yuu eventually tapped his cheek softly, needing to catch her breath. Gene pulled back, barely inches away from her. He smirked at her flushed cheeks, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

"God, you’re so pretty," he whispered against her lips.

Yuu snorted, wriggling out of his grasp and crawling toward the end of the bed. "Yeah, yeah. Where’s your nic, babe?" She rummaged through his backpack, looking for the fruity nicotine-infused device.

Gene rolled his eyes, pointing to the front zipper. Yuu's eyes lit up as she found the small vape and quickly returned to his lap. She brought it to her lips, inhaling deeply, letting the smoke settle in her lungs.

"You’re such a fiend," Gene snickered, watching her exhale the fruity smoke into the room.

Yuu pouted, turning around to face him again. She took another puff and softly blew the smoke into his face. Gene reciprocated, inhaling it with a smirk.

"And when did you learn to shotgun?" Yuu raised a brow, tossing the vape aside, leaning back on her hands as Gene exhaled the smoke above her head. Wrapping his arms around her lower back and pulling her closer, his fingers trailing lightly against her skin. "Sweetheart, I’m pretty sure I taught you how to do that." His eyes glinted mischievously as he tilted his head to look at her.

Yuu rolled her eyes, waving her hand around dismissively. “Whatever.” She glanced away, pretending not to notice the heat rising to her cheeks. Amused, Gene laughed at her reaction, tugging her gently towards him. He buried his face against her neck, his breath warm against her skin as he inhaled her scent—fresh laundry with a hint of sweetness that made him smile.

Suddenly, the door burst open. “AHA! YOU GUYS BETTER NOT BE—!" Gene’s brother Dante yelled, startling the two. Yuu yelped, nearly losing her balance as she almost tumbled off the bed.

Gene’s grip on her waist tightened instinctively, steadying her as they both turned to glare at the blue-haired intruder. Dante froze, eyes wide. “Oh… I-I’m not interrupting anything, right?” he stammered, his nervous laugh punctuated by a forced, closed-eyed smile.

Gene's gaze darkened, jaw clenching as he glared at his sibling, ‘Get out’ practically forming on his lips. Dante’s awkwardness only grew as he clung to the doorknob, noticing the darkening aura in the room.

“Yuu, are you staying for dinner? Mom’s asking,” Dante blurted, his voice cracking slightly as Gene's simmering irritation filled the space. Dante’s eyes darted between the couple, unsure whether to stand his ground or flee.

Yuu hummed thoughtfully, glancing at Gene with a playful tilt of her head. Her silent question hung in the air. Gene, still glaring daggers at Dante, narrowed his eyes and, through gritted teeth, spat out, “She’ll be there.”

Dante shut the door with a hurried thud, scurrying out of the room like his life depended on it. Gene let out an exaggerated sigh, collapsing back on the bed. “So can I borrow some pants?” Yuu teased, an amused smile playing on her lips.

Gene snorted, tossing a pair of checkered pjs in her direction. “H-Hey!” Yuu squeaked as the pants landed directly on her face. She pulled them off with a glare, slipping them on. They were a little too big for her, the waistband sliding down her hips.

Gene leaned forward, eyes gleaming with amusement. “Babe, you gotta pull your shirt down,” he tutted, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her between his legs. Yuu gasped, hands gripping his shoulders as she steadied herself.

Gene’s fingers gently tugged her oversized shirt down, covering the sliver of exposed skin. “Wouldn’t want Dante or his idiot friend gawking at you downstairs,” he muttered, voice tinged with protective affection.
