Light bulb - prompt #4 of our juniverse challenge. The idea was clear in my mind but the energy was missing. Anyway, happy pride month :)

[creanima]

I don't have much to say about this. But the saga of my suffering with Kai Hiwatari's hair continues.

God save me every time I see a frame of this boy smiling

So you get to have a new life. This place won’t mean anything to you in a few years. You will forget my voice, my face, maybe even my name. The things that happened here will become nightmares, distant memories, and soon enough fade into nothingness.

Those Quiet Hours

Deep sea - prompt #3 of @just-ayslinn and my june art challenge.

Somewhen in the beginning of this year this little anglerfish went viral online. The story has stuck with me ever since.

The horizontal format would have been a bit too much of a challenge :D

Meadow - prompt #2 of the little art challenge my friend @just-ayslinn and I came up with.

Guess I drew too many anime boys and have to do abstract painting now haha. Will be back to (more or less) handsome boys soon, I feel it.

providing non-sexual dominance can be so fulfilling. making choices for someone who trusts you? gently guiding them with a hand on their back? drawing them closer when it's crowded? noticing and fixing their messy hair? leading them through busy areas by holding their hand? caring for their well-being by suggesting when to eat or sleep? god tier

a magnificent creature.

As announced back then, here’s the original version.

Had kind of AU Kai vibes, not sure what kind of AU tho.

Mayblade: 3. Eyes

I edited a Kai drawing I did a few weeks ago to match the prompt. Had planned something else, but endet up with this instead. Was fun!

I will also post the original/color version later.

Mayblade. 22 Affection

He had gotten him a gift. Yuriy had gotten him a gift.

Kai slowly pulled his hand from his pocket, picturing the small box. Black, a bit scuffed, held together by a dark blue ribbon.

He could have expected it, it was his birthday, after all. And really, what was more predictable than getting a present from your boyfriend? Kai had gotten Yuriy three gifts for his birthday. 

Still, Kai couldn’t shake the feeling of surprise. He didn’t know why it caught him off guard. 

Maybe because they had spent the whole day together, and that alone felt like a proper gift. Maybe because he wasn’t used to receiving them at all, save for the expected gestures from his mother. And the reason wasn’t only the fact that he wasn’t good at making friends, but mostly his birthday being in August and he’s habit of not advertising it around. Even the Bladebreakers had found out after years of their friendship purely by mistake - said mistake was Rei eyeing his passport while going through security at the airport. 

Kai could imagine them getting him a gift at the surprise party, he had been happy not to discover what it was either, at least there would be something he could be really surprised about tonight. Not as surprised as he felt now, though. 

Yuriy had gotten him a gift. 

Yuriy had thought about getting him something, had taken the time to retrieve it, wrap it, or have it wrapped, and carried it all day in his pocket.  

Kai reached a range of emotions he didn’t know he could feel in such a short amount of time. 

He felt stupid, naive, and silly. He felt guilty, unworthy, and doubtful. 

He had stopped, his gaze lowered towards the box, until he looked up and found Yuriy looking back at him. Hesitant, expectantly, careful. 

“I wasn’t sure how to give it to you,” Yuriy explained, lifting his right arm to nervously rub the back of his neck. “I was planning this at midnight, but then, you know.” 

Yuriy’s rumbling was unexpected, but sweet.

“Sorry, I am not good at this.”

Except he was. He was anything Kai could ever want or desire.  

Kai felt warmth radiating in his chest. His cheeks were getting flustered.  

He felt suddenly alive.   

He felt loved.

Mayblade. 21 Box

A narrow path linked the village’s harbour to a small lighthouse perched on the southern rocky cliff. Kai remembered walking it as a child. It had been a familiar routine - him, his parents, and their dog Hana. Somehow, no matter what they talked about, those walks always circled back to their favourite story: the first time they’d come to the lighthouse, just days after he was born. Mother would always begin by recalling the sweltering heat in Tokyo, and father would inevitably end it with the tale of his bold drive to the beach house, where they spent the first month as a family of three. Kai would then chime in, “That’s when the picture was taken.”

The three of them, puppy Hana, and the lighthouse. It was all captured in that photo, still framed in his mother’s condo in Tokyo. Although Kai deliberately avoided looking at it these days, Yuriy had seen it when he was there.

A shiver ran down his spine, causing Kai to shake his shoulders at the memory. 

They had been walking in silence for a few minutes, the only sounds around them the crashing of the waves against the rocks and the squawking of seagulls circling overhead now that the rain had stopped. Kai was contemplating two of them fighting over some food when he felt fabric draping over his shoulders.

“Wet hair and air conditioning are not good for you,” Yuriy said, offering him his linen shirt in a silent request to wear it. 

Kai laughed softly but accepted the offer, slipping his arms into the sleeves. Earlier, his hair had been damp after their little run in the rain, and he had indeed been under the direct stream of the AC in the cafè. And that combination, according to Yuriy, was practically a health crisis. That’s why he always carried an extra layer, even on the hottest days. 

Yuriy watched him with that familiar, amused look he always had whenever Kai wore something of his. The fit was always a bit off. Sleeves too long, fabric pulling slightly across the shoulders. Kai might have been shorter, but his frame was a touch broader, giving Yuriy’s clothes an odd mix of loose and snug. 

Kai rolled up his sleeves and took a few steps to catch up with Yuriy, who had started walking again. Yuriy’s hand swung loosely at his side, open and within reach, an easy invitation that made Kai’s fingers twitch with the urge to take it. The impulse grew stronger, but instead he shoved his hands roughly into the shirt’s pocket, trying to ground himself. 

He might have ignored what was inside if only his fingers hadn’t grazed the edges of a small box and the unmistakable shape of a ribbon.
