✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon, who didn't even last a week without you. Who at first tried to cope with the distance by talking about you to his crew.

⊹ . ݁ His crew who wanted to smack him for making him so jealous and rubbing it in their faces.

⊹ . ݁ Cipher who was already writing down a report about the dumb shit Phainon says or do's while apart. (Yeah she is going to snitch so hard)

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon, who when a few weeks had passed, turning into months stops telling his love stories to his crew (to their BRIEF relief) to then start complaining about missing you.

"I miss my wife." he'd say over one dinner, his crew groaning in irritation but nonetheless listened to him. "We know."

"We didn't even get to spend our honeymoon. . ."

⊹ . ݁Cyrene who also had enough and ended up throwing him at the arms of the Kremnos king so they could spar his feelings out.

⊹ . ݁Phainon who despite being depressed about missing his wife, you, was still able to hold his own ground against Mydei.

⊹ . ݁ Mydei who actually did end up smacking him in the head for his repeating complaints.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who looked like a kicked puppy 20/7. the remaining hours being spent on complimenting you like you were a goddess, and you were.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who spent hours silently staring off into the distance reminiscing past memories and imagining what life would have been like if he hadn't left.

⊹ . ݁ His crew feeling bad for him again.

"King Phainon-"

"That's what [name] used to call me. ."

"That's your name."

⊹ . ݁ Them getting annoyed again.

⊹ . ݁ It was a vicious cycle really during the long weeks of travelling across the waters.

⊹ . ݁ Cyrene who decided to give the emergency rations she had prepared just in case, the slim chance some woman or man was getting too close to you.

"Here" she said handing him a hand drawn portrait of you. He stared at it, quietly, unblinking, almost like an owl which even had Cyrene worried wondering if it was a mistake to give him that.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who once finally landed on the coast of another land, where the black tide had their base of operations hidden somewhere, was first greeted by Cipher.

"Looks like the King is as depressed as we thought." She snicked ignoring the reproaching looks sent by his crew and even Mistress Aglaea. Waving them off she pulled a rucksack from out of nowhere, tossing it to the man who easily caught it. "Care Package from Queen [Name]." she said and watched in amusement as he immediately went through it, finding numerous letters, books, trinkets and even clothes all for him. "And of course, for Cyrene too." Cipher winked handing the pink haired girl her own package from yours truly.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who immediately went to a more private area to read the first letter you had written for him.

To my dearest Phainon, not even reaching the first paragraph he was already bawling his eyes out. He was so lucky to have a Queen, a wife and most importantly a lover like you by his side. I suspect that you have already chatted the ears off your crew with our tales. I hope you kept private stories, private. Make sure to eat food other than fish and bread. . and to cover yourself up with a blanket when you're sleeping. And stay safe and on guard when it is time for battle, leave no enemies. your writing getting deeper, almost tearing the paper that he could tell you were berating him for being an overthinker. Mom is doing quite well, she helps me with the duties that came with the crown, with marrying you, so luckily I still have room to breathe and manage my business. I couldn't walk Argus as much as I wanted, but the kids back at the town were more than happy to play and watch over him whenever I stopped by. your letters in nature held sweet words and reassurances, update on close friends and families he had left behind, his mother, his father, his dog, the wheat farm, the children he always looked out for in the town. of course, with more important matters like updates about the nobility, the kingdom. The nobility had began to grow comfortable in your absence, I fear that they will start abusing their power once more. It seems that Mom is the only one left able to keep them at bay. I shall find a way to earn my own place in this cesspool of politics you had left to me, hmph. But it is no matter, I shall use any possible method to bring them down on their knees. So I hope you don't mind if I end up destroying a noble bloodline. . or two. He chuckled, knowing for a fact that you were absolutely serious, you wouldn't even hesitate. Still though, he grows worried at the thought of leaving you surrounded with such savages and disreputable men. To think that instead of a honeymoon the both of you were left alone with you own battles. Your usual neat handwriting started to get messy as he continued to read. I miss you my beloved, my Phainon. I wish we didn't have to part so soon, or at all really. . however I understand it is the duty of one who holds the crown. But please, please return to me once this is all over, I will be waiting, no matter how long it takes. And know that my heart is with you, always. I love you.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who couldn't help but cry once again, tears falling down his eyes, gently, almost angelic as he reread the letter. "I love you too" he whispered, hoping that Aquila's winds would carry it back to your ears, to home.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who's determination and resolve was further solidified, he had to get back home, to his kingdom, to his family, and most importantly to you.

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon who led his troops to war as they fought with the black tide, General Cyrene meanwhile left in their base of operations with Aglaea and Anaza to handle strategies.

The seasons has changed here in the kingdom, and with that the crops have rotated. But the wheat fields have remained. Perhaps upon your return. . we could walk through those same fields again?

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon who wanted to make sure no man was left behind, no man dying on his command, who raised his sword and plunged it deep into the enemies.

⊹ . ݁ Whose hands began to turn red, stained from the blood he spilled.

I have begun to take up cooking, well refining that talent at least. When you, Cyrene and the others return, I will take it upon myself to prepare you a lovely fish. And don't worry I'll avoid fish and seafood, I'm sure you had enough of that.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who'd later get the name, the deliverer, due to his merits in this war.

Phainon

⊹ . ݁Who, as years passed, thought of you always, holding to the memory of you, chanting your name like a prayer, hoping you'd come and wash the blood away from his hands.

To my dear Phainon

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon, who was still human. Whose body became a canvas where scars and bruises marred his body.

Your mother wishes to tell you to hurry up.

⊹ . ݁ He who continued on, towards the path in hopes that the next dawn he'll see is with you.

Argus has missed you so much.

⊹ . ݁ Who began to wonder when will the war ever end?

Phainon, My love,

⊹ . ݁ Who stared at the mirror and could no longer see himself.

I miss you

⊹ . ݁ Who began to wonder if you could still love him despite all the atrocities he had committed in the name of peace and victory.

I love you.

⊹ . ݁ Could you still say those very words to him? to look at him with so much love? even knowing the crimes he had done. . his nights, wherein he used to dream about you and the life you two would live upon returning. . slowly turning into nightmares and memories of the blood, the screams, the baby, the mistake at the fortress.

⊹ . ݁ Queen [Name] of Aedis Elysiae, who ruled the kingdom with as much love and compassion as their King did. Who built roads and schools, who made sure no citizen grew hungry, and dealt with the remaining consequences of the epidemic.

⊹ . ݁ Queen [Name] beloved by the people. Acknowledged by the other royalties, by wanderers, by the law and their God. A Queen in all but the eyes of the nobility.

⊹ . ݁ Who couldn't catch a break, the high officials, nobles in power, not listening to you in important matters, even attempting to keep you out of meeting, was it because you were a women? a commoner? or both?

⊹ . ݁ Queen [Name] who had to host feasts in the castle, in respect for the Gods and Titans in the continent of Okhema, to celebrate Phainon's birthday in his absence, the dawn of the new year, whatever holiday or social gathering because that was needed and asked of her as the Queen.

⊹ . ݁ Queen [Name] who noticed the diminishing number of guests from the noble faction. Who noticed them gathering without her, talking about Kephale knows what.

⊹ . ݁ [Name] whose business was often sabotaged by competitors was now also facing a boycott from the noble faction.

⊹ . ݁ [Name] who found ways, escapes, tactics to dodge their attempts of humiliating, downplaying and disrespecting her.

⊹ . ݁ [Name] who just like her husband, was human. Who grew tired, who let her guard down, who failed.

⊹ . ݁ You who had once been embarrassed at a social gathering, whose pristine dress was soiled by red wine.

⊹ . ݁ Whose guards at the castle began to grow lazy, whose ears were practically useless as they cared not for your instructions or berates.

⊹ . ݁ Who started to do housework in such a large house when the nobles slowly began bribing the servants to do a shoddy work.

⊹ . ݁ You whose only solace was the people of the kingdom, who although knew nothing of the battles you had to go through in the castle, but knew how your heart ached for your beloved husband.

⊹ . ݁ You who is reminded of Phainon in everything left in this country. You could see his eyes in the beautiful blues of the skies, his hair amongst the fluffy white clouds. You could see his heart and care in the smiles of the people, his hard work in the kingdoms, the wheat fields where you often frolicked on dates. .

⊹ . ݁ Phainon's mother who held you tight, rubbing your back as you spent nights crying. . .

⊹ . ݁You who had to bury Phainon's mother in the end, alone with Argus as rage swelled in you. She had died not because of time or old age, or even a sickness but because of an assassination attempt directed at you.

⊹ . ݁ Queen [Name] whose patience has ran its course, like a dried up well. Who with the limited and still diminishing power and hands she had punished the family responsible, despite earing more ire from the enemies.

⊹ . ݁ Queen [Name] whose hands were also soiled in blood as you ordered the execution of a noble family, who grabbed a sword as you drove it into the throats of the man who ordered the assassination.

⊹ . ݁ You who did it in front of the masses, even if they called you a tyrant or a dictator, it didn't matter anymore. All you sought was justice for the woman who you saw as your mother.

⊹ . ݁ Queen [Name] who began to grow wary and tired. Wondering if violence was the only answer to get their respect or obedience.

⊹ . You knew it was wrong however, deep inside. So in secret you tried to ask for aid from neighboring kingdoms who sent you people to replace in the government. The kingdom of Kremnos sending you soldiers to protect you, A healer who served Aquila to prevent anymore further. . incidents.

⊹ . ݁ Queen [Name] who finally had peace since the last couple of years, who finally had people she could trust in the castle.

⊹ . ݁ But alas, it was only a temporary fix.

⊹ . ݁ Because why did the other people who left for war return. . except your husband, except cyrene, and the crew.

"where are you Phainon?"

⊹ . And with your husband missing, nearly being pronounced as dead. . your enemies had found a weakspot, a way to get you out of the throne or maybe get them the crown.

⊹ . Because what use is a Queen who had no child, who wasn't royalty or even nobility?

⊹ . What use is a Queen they couldn't control?

✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡

I couldn't decide if I want Cyrene to die as Phainon's Polites, it wouldn't feel as gut wrenching if I added Polites and Eurylochus here as fodder anyways hmmm

this isn't canon to the mini series but like some headcanons (coming from the author wow-)

Sparta for Kremnos, [Name] is mentioned to have originated from the kingdom, you can decide where it means she was born there, grew up there, her parents were from that kingdom or all of the above.

Most of the Chrysos heirs are in positions of power, Phainon and Mydei are kings in their specific areas, Cyrene is like a general in Elysiae's military while also being a scholar and priestess for Oronyx, Hyacine is a princess and priestess, her kingdom is leaning more to a holy empire setting like in manhwas, with her in-game summon being a divine beast. Anaxa is a renowned scholar, Aglaea I suppose is like the Chiori of this mini series hmmmmm cipher well I suppose she's more of a rogue and a wanted thief who is secretly part of the flame chasers alliance who is more often tasked with covert missions.

[ previous ] [ hsr masterlist ] [ next ]

taglist:

@aerisevx

CALLING ALL TEAM OOMY ZOOMIES!! RAHHHHHH

should I make this into an actual series? not a list of headcanons? if so, should I adapt the titans into actual gods? modify the plot/amphoreus to resemble the odyssey but not an exact copy? should i keep the names of locations like ithaca? sparta? or turn them to Aedes Elysiae and Kremnos?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

who'd be Eurylochus? Im thinking cyrene for polites, should I make the other flamechasers as god like mydei as ares but that would be awkward considering Aglaea would be aphrodite considering shes the coreflame for romance? and even then it seems like the titans for reason and romance have more chemistry mmmmm

eh ill just modify the plot in my head for now. But hey, If i do get Phainon's lightcone I will write that shit as an offeringgg

✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡˚✧˚ ⋆｡

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon of Aedes Elysiae, a kingdom known for its agriculture and fishing. But it wasn't just that, beyond the golden wheat, a prized product of the kingdom and apart from the bountiful sea, the kingdom was known for its military might, as well as other specialized fields like strategies and divination, antiques and the arts.

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon who abolished slavery and controlled the noble faction who wanted to help the citizens of his kingdom.

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon who although was the king and it's military leader, he seemed far more invested in collecting antiques, lost arts, ceramics and treasures from past and fallen kingdoms, appraising them and putting it in his own private and others in public collections. A patron of the arts and history one would say.

⊹ . ݁ Queen [Name] who was a commoner and a business owner, merchant, who Phainon meant undercover when he acted as a commoner to understand his people more.

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon who continued to meet you originally seeing you as a person he could talk to about treasure, the commoners, his kingdom without any sort of flattery or lies that most would spit out as he was King.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who was surprised when it turns out you already knew, having visited in the midst of an epidemic.

"Doesn't the King have more pressing matters than visiting some lowly merchant?" you asked the minute you walked into his office, you being busy by your desk to arrange donations and routes.

"y-you knew?!" he almost tripped, shock with his jaw dropping.

"You didn't actually think you were hiding your appearance with that drab cloak." you gestured, "you didn't even have your hood on most of the time!"

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who sought your help, guidance and insight to save his people.

⊹ . ݁ You who helped him build connections with the kingdom of the sky, whose Queen and Priestess Hyacine you knew personally from business dealings.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon, who immediately proposed or rather confessed with plans of courtship after the epidemic had been stabilized, ignoring the outcries of the nobility who didn't want a commoner for a queen.

"Would you grant me the honor of having your permission to uhm. . court you?" he kneeled, fumbling over his words as he presented to you a bouquet of flowers he prepared himself.

you teased "Why do you sound so unsure? are you having second thoughts?"

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who wooed you with his charms and sincere and kind heart.

"Your shirt is backwards and your crown is tilted." You pointed out as he came barging into your office, no longer hiding his true identity.

"ack-!" he fumbled quickly looking at his shirt. "You changed?" you asked, walking closer to him, hand reaching to the crown that lay on top of his head, fixing it as he watched with soft eyes and a puppy look on his face.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who not only fell first, but also fell harder!

⊹ . ݁ You who still kept your merchant guild despite becoming a Queen in the future. Becoming a Queen in politics and commerce.

⊹ . ݁ The two of you keeping the noble factions in line and stopping them from abusing their powers.

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon who executed a ducal household after they had planned and attempted to have you killed.

⊹ . ݁ Whose heads he personally detached from their bodies, going as far as to display it at the gates of his castle. No one tried it again.

⊹ . ݁ You who found it hot, you probably originated from the Castrum Kremnos didn't you? you liked that sort of thing didn't you???

"I'm sorry that you have to see me in such a state. . I wouldn't be surprised if you were afraid of me." he said looking down, his knights and assistants double taking, where did their scary king disappear to??

You who only flushed, embarrassed "I think you were hot" you first said holding his blood stained hands, "besides, I could never be afraid of you."

Phainon who smiled brightly, everybody could see the imaginary tail wagging behind his butt.

⊹ . ݁ Okay, maybe you did fell just as hard as he did. But you wouldn't tell him that.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who decided to be in charge of the wedding preparations when the two of you were officially engaged, it was the least he could do considering you had to take Royalty lessons from his mother!

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who introduced you to his childhood friend Cyrene who was in charge of strategies, a Priestess of Oronyx and a teacher of divination and Astronomy in the academia.

⊹ . ݁ Cyrene who definitely adored you and vice versa, spending a lot of days out to have gal dates and Phainon getting jealous.

⊹ . ݁ Cyrene who you talked to about tactics and strategies for not only in military but also in business.

⊹ . ݁ Cyrene and Hyacine who became both of your maids of honor while King Mydei was planned to become Phainon's best man.

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who did a fantastic job with wedding preparations that was only a month away, and oh no-

⊹ . ݁ King Phainon who would have to leave for the war against the fanatics of destruction, who sought violence and death in the name of their aeon, disrespecting the Gods and Titans of Okhema.

⊹ . ݁ The both of you, whose wedding has been rushed and your place as Queen being solidified as you were entrusted with the kingdom.

⊹ . ݁ The both of you could only stare with tears in your eyes as the gap between you two grew wider and wider as he left on his ship with Cyrene and the others.

⊹ . ݁Cyrene who promised to make sure he doesn't cheat on you much to his chagrin.

"Don't worry [name]! I'll make sure he keeps his hands to himself." his pink haired friend said at an attempt to make you laugh. "Hey!" You who began to cry again at the thought of your husband leaving you for who knows how long. Phainon who misunderstand this as a fear "W-wait wait! I promise I shall forever remain loyal to you! Don't cry!" "You idiot!" you began to hit his chest "I'm just missing you! I have full faith and trust in you!" you said, sniffing from all the 'allergies.'

⊹ . ݁Phainon who wished he could stay with you, to continue with the planned marriage ceremony with you, to continue his life by your side as your husband but. .

⊹ . ݁ Phainon who knew his responsibilities as a king and as a flame chaser, who understand the threats the black tide meant as well as his fanatics.

⊹ . ݁Phainon who's crown and heart felt heavy.

⊹ . ݁ And you who had to straighten your posture everytime you past a noble, as the nobles began to get too comfortable now that your husband to be has left for war.

⊹ . ݁ You who were disgusted at their behavior, as they continuously disrespected you. Mocking your husband, calling him a mongrel when he worked hard for this kingdom.

pt. 1 Phainon's POV

Phainon x gn! reader, numerous cycles, sprinkled angst, best boi Phainon , best partner Phainon , a bit obsessed but very much in-love with you.

probably ooc phainon but ehhhhh

part 1: Phainon's pov

[ Part 2: Perfect Partner Phainon! ]

[ part 3: Loving partner Y/n ]

"Hi, sorry for bumping into you. . I'm uh [name]"

⋆˙⟡ Numerous cycles had passed for the white haired man, numerous years, numerous faces and interactions passing with the flow of time, repeating and repeating. The start of life, the journey, the prophecy, the flame chases. .

and love.

⋆˙⟡ Just as his comrades were constant people in his life, so were you. He didn't fall in love with you at first, in the original cycle truth be told, because of the burden of his responsibility he had no time for that.

⋆˙⟡ then you came once during one timeline, entering his life slowly, like the slow dribble of sand in an hourglass, it's impact gathering at the bottom within time.

"It's alright, I'm Phainon" he answered, how many cycles had passed? it was in the hundred thousands now, and yet, this was the first time he had met you.

⋆˙⟡ warm, comforting, innocent, those were the words he described you with, a huge contrast from him.

⋆˙⟡ He was curious about you, he hadn't met you until now after all and by the he thought he had seen and experienced everything, but clearly he was wrong.

⋆˙⟡ what started as curiosity however seemed to turn into something more. . intimate, close, fuzzy feelings.

⋆˙⟡ you started off as acquaintances, then friends, there was this unspoken tension between you two for awhile.

⋆˙⟡ One that he ignored, never acting on it, and you seemed to understand as well.

⋆˙⟡ Numerous cycles he began to know you, what you liked, what you hated, but as friends not lovers, as acquaintances not partners.

⋆˙⟡ Still despite his best attempts, his feelings began to grow, he had thought as time passed his feelings would disappear, getting tired of you perhaps or from over familiarity.

Phainon had long decided to give up on love and intimate relationships, after killing his comrades, his friends, numerous times. . . love wasn't on his table with his situation.

⋆˙⟡ That would have been better. It was his fault.

⋆˙⟡ Only when he held your cold body in his arms did he regret it. He knew you would die at the end of every cycle and yet. . this was the first time he had seen your body, held you so close. .

⋆˙⟡ Your hands were soft and smooth, while his were calloused. eyes brimming with hope, while his slowly dimming behind the pressure. Now they were cold, pale and stiff. . and your eyes were forever closed.

A tap to the shoulder had you turning "Um excuse me?"

"Oh yes?" White hair, kind yet awfully sad blue eyes. .

"You dropped this" a stranger handed you a familiar item, eyes widened as you thanked him.

"Oh thank you so much! Umm. . mister?"

"Phainon, just call me Phainon."

⋆˙⟡ Because of the hardships you had gone through, for all the cycles he had made you wait and ignore the growing feelings behind you. .

⋆˙⟡ He wanted you to be happy, therein came Best friend Phainon. Despite the loss, he still couldn't find the courage to confess his feelings.

"[name] look what I found!" He held out a bunch of flowers that had you sneezing from the pollen.

'mental check, these flowers makes them sneeze'

⋆˙⟡ He introduced you to his friends, both in the flame chasers and outside. Happy to find you enjoying their company but. .

"are they your lover or something?" Mydei asked, a couple of times in different cycles, sometimes it was Aglae whose interest and curiosity was hidden in well chosen words, sometimes it was Hyacine and Cipher.

Phainon thought about it as he watched you and Castorice talk amicably with a safe distance between you two. "No. ."

Mydei didn't comment on the fact that his face twisted into a weird face, 'pathetic.'

⋆˙⟡ He hoped you'd lived a happy life, one you won't regret.

yet he always found himself hugging your body, being with you in your last moments. . closing your eyes when you were finally gone.

⋆˙⟡ A few cycles he'd try to stay away, to prevent himself from meeting you but.. it wasn't going to change the ending was it? you were going to die at the end of every cycle, everybody was, all except him. .

"Everything. . hurts" you muttered, laying upon the rubble as you were slowly bleeding to your death. .

There beside you was a stranger, familiar and unfamiliar at the same time if you could understand, "you don't. . you don't have to stay" you said between labored breaths "you should get to safety."

"You. . you're one of them right, a friend of Hyacine's?"

"yes. ." he answered, eyes glued to the bloodstained ground, his heart feeling tight as if it had been squeezed into a pulp.

'it hurts. .'

'it hurts so much. .'

"why are you crying?" a hand cupped his face as you tried to smile for him, "I'm the one whose dying right?"

yeah you were the one dying but he was as well, with every death, with every blood of yours that had been spilled, the pain, the grief. . it was killing him as well.

And you died, comforted by the fact that a stranger would mourn for you.

⋆˙⟡ After that one particular cycle, as soon as the next one started, as soon as he found you in the next one, he broke down, hugging you as he felt your beating heart.

"w-who?" you almost yelled, kicking the stranger who decided to envelope you in their strong arms, sobbing. .

"I'm sorry. . I'm sorry for hurting you [Name], for playing with you, for leaving you. ."

How did the man know your name? why was he crying? why was he holding you as if you were about to disappear. .

You didn't push him away though, instead rubbing his back silently, patiently waiting for him to be through.

⋆˙⟡ Phainon did something he had never done before, confess, not to his feelings, no not yet. But to the truth, the cycles, the death and rebirth. .

⋆˙⟡ You were horrified at first, at the unspeakable pain he had to go through numerous times, again and again and again.

⋆˙⟡ Still you believed him, and it felt like he could breathe again.

"Phainon here, I made you lunch for your sparring session with Mydei." You said, handing him a basket.

A smile graced his lips, "why don't you relax tonight? there's a play happening at the streets why don't we watch?" you suggested. He didn't quite understand the plot but it seemed like you loved it.

"Phainon did you have a nightmare again?. . . you don't have to talk about it but. ."

"I'm here for you."

⋆˙⟡ You were so kind, so compassionate. . understanding. You doted on him, comforted him when he woke up to those memories. .

⋆˙⟡ he was lucky to have you in this cycle, perhaps he should tell you again in the next one? it made things more bearable too but. .

"Hey phainon?"

he hummed in response looking to find you curious yet shy, shuffling on your feet, playing with your fingers. . "what were we? in the previous cycles?"

He stopped what he was doing, almost frozen as you slowly continued "were we family? friends. . or?" you didn't continue, both of you knew however the word that lingered in the air.

'lovers'

"We were the best of friends." a lie, why did it sound like a lie now? in the past he was comfortable with that and yet. .

"oh" you nodded "I see."

⋆˙⟡ Why was he hesitating so much? what was he so afraid of? was he afraid that you didn't feel the same anymore after finding out about the cycles?

⋆˙⟡ Why was he a coward now of all times!?

"[Name] I want to tell you something." he said, like a coward, confessing only now when you had both of your feet at thanatos' door steps.

He held your hands, feeling the warmth fade away, again, as the city fell into flames, again, as the dawn of the next cycle slowly began, again and again and AGAIN.

He looked different, with his white blue hair turning to something akin to the sun, eyes glowing, body turn with golden blood falling from the cracks that marred his body.

He was far from the Phainon that you knew.

He was more akin to a monster now and yet,

"I love you." you were the first to confess, "I don't remember the past. . but, I'm sure I loved you in every cycle. ." you squeezed his hands, once,

"[name]-"

"it's my turn to talk" you breathed, wincing as you sat up. "please lay down-" "I'm already dying, at least let me die confidently."

"I'm so sorry. . this is all my fault."

"Never apologized for telling me the truth, for meeting me in every cycle you could." you held his face in your hands, gently as if you were holding the world.

"Thank you for telling me the truth, I have no regrets, I'm happy to die with you by my side. So please. . don't look at me with those eyes." you whispered, as tears slid down his face, again.

"you'll see me tomorrow."

⋆˙⟡ he was selfish, thinking he could keep you by his side while never confessing.

⋆˙⟡ he was a coward, afraid despite knowing deep down you loved him just as much as he did.

⋆˙⟡ you deserved everything, everything that he should have offered you long before, a couple of cycles before yet he denied you of that.

⋆˙⟡ he denied you of the closure and rejection, and instead strung you along like a crude situationship.

⋆˙⟡ he treated you as a friend when you were more than just that.

⋆˙⟡ he trampled on all the feelings he and you had in those many lifetimes and simply labelled them off as. . best of friends.

⋆˙⟡ however it was never too late.

"Excuse me, you dropped this." like clockwork, he thought. You smiled at him, just as always, thanking him as you took back your item.

"Thank you. ."

"Phainon, please call me Phainon."

You blinked, "Phainon. ." it was music to his ears "have we met before?"

He shook his head with a small smile, "I don't think so." He knew so.

'This time, this cycle no. . now and all the future cycles. I will make you the happiest in the world, and give you everything you deserve and more.'

⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡

All the flashbacks happen in different cycles, however by part 2 it is a new cycle, the second last cycle when the trailblazer and Dan heng arrive. You don't know the burdens that Phainon is experiencing, not yet.

it's meant to be confusing and messy considering his pov is meant to show how he's slowly losing himself.

pt. 2 Perfect Partner Phainon! | Phainon x Reader

in celebration of the fact that I got Phainon!!!

Phainon x gn! reader, numerous cycles, sprinkled angst, best boi Phainon , best partner Phainon , a bit obsessed but very much in-love with you.

[ part 1: Phainon's pov ]

Part 2: Perfect Partner Phainon!

[ part 3: Loving partner Y/n ]

⋆˙⟡ Your boyfriend Phainon was perfect, his looks, personality that reminded you of a golden retriever, from the way that he carried himself and his actions.

⋆˙⟡ it was the little things that made him such a good partner, and sometimes it was those too much little things that made you wonder if he stalked you beforehand.

⋆˙⟡ he knew a lot of things about you after all! favorite food, favorite colors, when and where you took naps, where you usually walked around the city.

⋆˙⟡ the fact that he knew a lot about you should have worried you, but it didn't, you can tell that his actions and feelings were genuine and sincere, meant to show his affections rather than to unnerve you, besides with his charming smile and personality, even if he were a bad omen, you didn't seem to mind.

⋆˙⟡ befitting of his 'perfect' status, Phainon planned the perfect confession, the perfect dates, the perfect first night with you. It was like he knew how you wanted things to unfold.

⋆˙⟡ when he confessed to you it was accompanied by your favorite flowers/food, in a private/public space where you'd be comfortable in the spot where the two of you met just like it was fate. His words were sweet but not suffocating, he didn't force an answer out of you, nor was he impatient.

⋆˙⟡ of course we wouldn't be talking about this if you had rejected him right?

⋆˙⟡ then the dates, accommodating both of your schedules, in places both familiar and unfamiliar.

"why don't you try this [dish], I know for sure you'll love it."

he knew things about you you were still trying to figure out, he knew what you'd for sure like or hate as well, perhaps he knew you so intimately that he could tell himself?

"I think you should order a different drink, this one is too bitter for your tastes"

Taking a chance to see how accurate his radar was you still decided to test the new drink out, and safe to say, he was right.

⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆˙⟡

Trinkets you knew you'd like, clothes that fitted you beautifully and comfortably, sweet gestures he knew you wouldn't mind, he was perfect, and yet.

"How do you know that I'll like this?" you asked as the both of you were watching a public play in the streets, one that happened so rarely "I mean you're not wrong but. ." You turned to watch the expression on your beloved partner's face

"Its probably fate, like we are destined to be together." he smiled softly, eyes holding so much love for you, despite seeing that look on his face, that look focused on you, it still made your heart flutter and stomach flip with butterflies, still despite the sweet words and soft looks you huffed, poking his sides "can't you be serious"

"I suppose I just know you well because of how much I love you?"

"Hmm is it uncomfortable for you?" "Not really" you sighed, leaning on him, head on his shoulder "It's just, you're so perfect, and I'm just me."

"Don't say it like that" he frowned, cupping your cheek as the both of you turned once again, staring into each other, face to face, "you're you, and you're perfect just the way you are, that's why I fell in love with you."

"mmm" you puffed your cheeks before burying your face into his chest, cheeks flushed red. "H-hey!"

"You're too perfect. . ."

"I'll make sure to step up as your partner, leave the next date to me okay?" you said looking with with a smile, of course you had to step up and be the perfect partner for him to!

"regular japanese" ➜ "[Japanese words that [name] isn't familiar with]

"filipino/tagalog/taglish" ➜ (English translations for the readers)

Japanese characters may also appear, depends on my mood or plans for each chapter.

content warning: xenophobia / racism / discrimination, bullying, threats

YOU WERE WEIRD, That was what Kakucho first thought about you. Having seemingly made a mistake, his king, long time friend and partner had dragged him and you to a shady looking street. It was clear you were a civilian, a normal person whose life was untouched by darkness or crime, yet here you were, unafraid as Izana, a man you hadn't even known his name before, had began to punish him.

"Oy oy focus at me" he clicked his tongue, impatient as usual but better than how he last saw him. He had shaved at least! "Kakucho." Flinching he looked down on the ground apologizing profusely "g-gomen Izana!" Right now he had more things to think about, to worry about other than your presence in this alley.

Right now, he found himself on his hands and knees on the ground, with Izana sitting on his back with his arms crossed, looking displeased. All he did was say his name?! "50 push ups" he instructed forcing the boy's head down. "H-hai!"

Meanwhile you found yourself glancing at the new comer then to the white haired boy, 'Izana' you repeated his names a few times in your head. It was an interesting name, you wondered how was it written in text? "Why are you so worked up over me knowing your name?" you grinned at him, hands on your hip as the grocery bags in your hold sway with the movement.

Clicking his tongue once more, he looked away causing your eyebrows to twitch, who knew that sad boy you met could be such a kid??? Instead of getting angry you simply sighed, shaking your head "whatever, I-za-na" you said watching as he faltered but still kept his back to you.

So you decided to set your sights on Kakucho. The boy who seemed to be a friend or lackey of Izana's had black hair in a buzz cat, one eye red, the other gray or rather silver? It was hard to tell, "and this is your friend Kakucho? you got me worried there, I thought you were a friendless and homeless guy." You offhandedly stated as you crouched down staring at the man.

"So what's up with this guy? did he ran away or something?" you whispered to Kakucho who was still doing his push-ups, he was strong! He wasn't even breaking that much of a sweat either. "Or something" he replied politely, eyes still trained on the ground.

"Well it's nice to meet you, I'm [ name ]." you smiled at the boy "Do you two have a place to stay?"

He grunted, mumbling the number '39', "Yeah just around Yokohama" he answered. "Yokohama?! and you've been strutting like a homeless person all the way out here?!" you snapped your head to the white haired boy who only turned to silently glare at your remark.

Shaking your head "don't look at me like that, you had an overgrown bush on your face!"

"43"

"So? I can look however I want." he argued. "Really that's your defense? so you intentionally want to look like a hobo?"

"45"

"You-!" he took a deep breath, trying not to get angry as begrudgingly you had helped him after all "Whatever," Izana turned away, patting Kakucho's back "Hurry up so we can leave."

"Hai!"

You stared at the them "You're leaving?", you gripped your grocery bags tighter as you observed Izana who turned his attention back to you at the question. "Yeah," he scoffed "I'm not a freeloader."

"I don't really mind." it was the rare times you were able to interact with someone after all "Does that mean you're going back to your home in Yokohama?" Your question was out of genuine curiosity, but Izana's friend had flinched, stopping midway from his last push-up. "Home no? Yokohama yes."

The amethyst eyed boy jumped off Kakucho's back, "let's go." he said, ending the conversation. His companion quickly standing up and dusting off the dirt on his hands and knees, "here!" you smiled at them, holding your grocery bags out for them.

You bought to much anyways.

Kakucho stared at Izana, his king, wondering what he should do. You smiled at them, nudging the bags in their direction "come on, just take it."

The king sighed, hands reaching out, he had took them. "O-oh okay" Kakucho nodded to himself as he too took the remaining bags from your hands. "Well then take care" you waved at them before separating first, as you headed first straight out of the alley.

The two delinquents stared at each other confused. "Is she giving this to us?" Izana asked his friend- servant. "I- I think so??" he blinked, staring at the groceries then at his boss, "did you force her to buy this for you?" he asked, almost disturbed.

"Of course not!" He fumed, tapping his feet on the cement floor, furious at his assumptions "I don't take pity or charity from anyone. If I wanted something, I'd take it myself." he hissed.

༊࿐ ͎. ｡˚ ° ⊹ ˚. 🎐 ๋࣭ ࣪ ˖

Luckily for the two of them, Izana still remembered the way to your humble abode, despite the times he hadn't taken care of his body, his mind was still sharp so he effortlessly moved through the streets and alleyways, stopping in front of your apartment building.

"It's so far from the supermarket, what were the two of you doing there? we like-" kakucho gestured to the area around them "passed 3 different shops! and there's even one just across the street from her building."

"How should I know what's going on her mind?? I just meant the person!" Izana argued back.

The black haired boy pinched his nose "that's another thing, what were you doing in that girl's place?!" "Hoi hoi hoi! Don't look at me like that! I didn't touch her." His king said smacking his shoulder "What do you take me for? Some pervert??"

The fact that Kakucho didn't answer, and instead looked away, made him kick the boy behind his shins letting him fall whilst catching the remaining grocery bags he had before it hit the floor. "Oomph!"

'I have no regrets.' Kakucho said, which was true. He was concerned, more for you than Izana. You were a civilian, an innocent girl who was either in high school or college by the looks of it, Izana, although out of it, was still an infamous delinquent.

Even just by interacting with him will put your life in danger.

Actually, other than enemy delinquents or their allies, Izana himself could be a threat to your life. His King, his friend, he respected him, his loyal for him has never wavered but even he had to admit that Izana wasn't the same man from before, unstable could describe his current self. With what had happened with his mother, his brother, and that very same brother's death, Izana was teetering on the edge of perpetual darkness.

When he had disappeared from their apartment, leaving no note or message anywhere, not even a sign, he had feared for the worse.

He searched for him, in rival gang's territories, by the rivers, by the sea, by any body of water or any secluded place. Imagine how shock he was to find him in some super market.

"Izana, I have to ask. What is she to you?"

While he was mulling over his thoughts and the events that had transpired, his body was following him, it was natural, muscle memory really to follow him, his king. They stopped at a certain floor, was your apartment here? or did he stop to answer his question.

His eyes narrowed at Izana, who seemed to quietly think about the answer. Just as he was about to open his mouth, they suddenly heard yelling.

. . . . . . . . . . .

"You! I told you to keep it down in there! What is up with all that noise huh?!" A finger was pointed harshly at you, wagging at every word as if to emphasized it. Just as you were about to take out the trash, your neighbors had found you.

So there you were, standing by your door while you were holding a near empty bag of trash.

"If I fail my exams it's all your fault! I couldn't even focus on my studies!" Beside the middle aged woman were two other tenants, the one who had just spoken just now was a man who was about to take his college exam, was it for the second or third time though?

You bit your lip, taking it in.

The third of the group, was the ringleader, the oldest both in age and how long they lived in the building. She was an elderly woman, who seemed to have nothing better to do but bother the other residents, her favorite target? had unfortunately been you. The foreigner in the building.

You closed your eyes, it was better to just take it, the more you fought back the more heated things get. "Foreigners like you ruin our country." The elderly woman said sighing, as if dismayed, as if your very existence was such a smear to their lovely country "That's how Filipinos are I heard, they only came to this country to marry Japanese men."

You snapped your head back at them, your teeth nearly biting your lips to the point of bleeding at you stared at them, shocked at the accusations. "Y-"

"Ha, what did you say you old hag?" you all turned to find two boys approaching. The once lifeless or even bratty boy had seemed to disappear, in its place, walking towards you was a man who seemed pissed.

Kakucho too, his carefree face seemed to melt away as he glared, not at you at least, you clutched your chest feeling relieved, at least their anger wasn't directed at you. "You! Don't talk to your elder like that!" Despite her yelling the elderly woman seemed afraid as Izana stopped just in front of her, practically shoving his face to her personal space.

They stared at the new comers, they surely weren't residents of the building! They easily took one look at Izana, the man studying for his exams clicked his tongue, pushing up his glasses "just another lousy foreigner."

Those words seemed to turn into magic words, because as soon as he said the word 'foreigner', Kakucho had punched him straight in the face. The man was certainly older than them yet went out like paper!

"Y-you!" the middle aged mom flinched as Izana and Kakucho glared at her, she froze, turning pale as she immediately ran off.

All that was left was the elderly woman who cowered, "Respect is earned you old hag, if you can't understand that, maybe you should head on to the afterlife." Izana said eyes wide, glowing dangerously. "T-that's enough Izana." you raised your hand getting their attention, before turning to the lola (grandmother) "Just leave." you felt drained, tired, and you knew, despite them getting what they deserved, it would just be more trouble for you.

Izana however didn't seem to agree, "what? are you serious?" she gestured to the old woman who ran away at your words he cursed, grabbing the woman's shoulder to make her stop "listen here, that idiot is [watashi no onjin], if you bother her again, and I will, I will make you regret it." You winced, although not understanding or hearing some of what he spat at her, you could see the woman, if it were even possible, turn even more pale than before!

Luckily she didn't get a heart attack at his words. .

"don't be some pushover, this is why they're walking all over you you [aho]!" The white haired boy berated you.

You chuckled, scratching your cheeks embarrassed "I don't know what [aho] means." you told him. He sighed, massaging his forehead, "Kakucho you talk to her!" Of course he'd pass that task to his servant, you turned curiously at Kakucho who seemed uncomfortable to tell you what it meant.

"Relax, I could tell he was insulting me, I just don't know what specifically." you waved off his worries, "it means moron. ." he looked away so you walked closer "or?" "that's it I swear!"

You clearly doubted him before shrugging. "I guess it isn't so bad, pero yeah i guess moron nga ako." you muttered to yourself with a smile, before shaking your head "what brings you here anyways? did you leave something in my apartment? Izana. . Izana-san."

"-san?" he repeated with a raised brow.

"Sorry," you bow slightly "I forgot my manners and acted all close with you after all."

"tch. whatever, let's just get your groceries in, come on Kakucho." He instructed his friend who nodded, picking up the groceries they had set down on the floor. The three of you entered your apartment, leaving the knocked out man there.

Izana sat by your kitchen counter while you stared at the bags that had been laid down, they were the groceries you bought and gifted to the duo, a parting gift one could say.

"Umm" Seeing your confused self Kakucho decided to explain, "We wanted to return your groceries, originally we thought you wanted us to carry it but for some reason you decided to give it to us-" yeah you were definitely weird in their eyes at this point, who would give food to strangers?

You stared at them oddly "it's a farewell gift-" you'd call it -"well more for Izana, it looks like he hasn't been eating well eh" you reasoned gesturing to the man, Kakucho nodded in agreement, as he feared, the time they spent apart, Izana hadn't been taking care of himself, his face was rather gaunt, skinny, in a malnourished or starved way.

Still though, maybe kindness from strangers felt alien to the duo, Kakucho shook his head "You're too kind, but we can manage ourselves." "It's a bit hard to believe considering Izana's state."

"Oy stop talking about me like I'm not here" he sighed as he had been silently watching you two conversed. "I'll take it from here, it looks like you can't get it through her thick skull."

"All skulls are thick, matakot ka kung indi" (be afraid if it wasn't) you sighed to yourself as you begrudgingly began to unpack your groceries "Let's just split them, I bought a lot because I thought you'd be staying longer with me." So you decided to split it by three ways, making sure to include Kakucho as a gift for punching that annoying guy.

"Do they always bother you?" Kakucho asked, was he nosey or worried? though you could see how he would glance at Izana every now and then, maybe they were communicating silently through eye contact.

"I guess, they're always like that. I just try to not butt heads with them, it just gets. ." you tried to find the right word for it, 'malala' you kept forgetting the word for it in Japanese. "Worse?" you turned finding Izana staring at you intently, he wasn't frowning or smiling, it was like. . he could see right through you.

you nodded slowly, surprised at the intensity of his gaze, you almost wanted to look away. . "y-yeah, that's the word I was looking for."

"What's the Filipino word for it?" he asked as Kakucho decided to help you unpack your own groceries in your cupboards or fridge. 'huh? why isn't the fridge plugged? and its empty too-??' it was a good thing they returned your groceries, otherwise you would have starved or wasted more money to buy your own food!

"malala" you answered seriously, quietly as the boy repeated the word to himself "malala. ."

"Is that our share?" he pointed to the remaining grocery bags and you nodded, he grabbed them as he stood up "let's go Kakucho, we shouldn't stay here any longer." "Agreed" Kakucho joined his boss, friend, king after having plugged the fridge back on.

You stood there quietly, watching them leave before your eyes widened as you ran after them. You didn't know what has gotten into yourself but you grabbed his wrist "wait!" you practically yelled out.

"What?" Kakucho stared worriedly, eyes going to Izana then to you, wondering if the boy would explode at your 'audacity.'

"What did you mean?" you asked "when you said [my benefactor]?"

"I just cursed that old hag." he shrugged, taking back his wrist away from your hold "Ah but don't go yapping and calling people that. It's a very very bad word."

The words felt unfamiliar, new uncharted territory. Going by the context, it didn't seem to be insulting but it was directed at you. You were sure of it! You glanced at Kakucho who only looked away.

"Goodbye." He said turning and walking off to the elevator, with Kakucho hastily following behind "make sure you lock the doors [name]-san!"

"hai. ."

Entering your apartment, you leaned on the door after having locked it. . "[watashi no onjin]. . ." you repeated, the syllables rolling out of your tongue slowly, you could decipher the one syllable from the phrase was possessive.

"[watashi no]. . then [onjin]"

"[watashi no] means my. ."

apologies in advance, I used google translate and like google search to double check on 'watashi no onjin', 'watashi' means 'i' or 'me' while no is a possessive term or particle in Japanese language, to my understanding, and 'Watashi no' combined is like 'my' or 'mine'.

anyways, based on memory and understanding Kakucho sees Izana as a friend, a boss, a family/brother and a king. While Izana, I suppose shut his heart and tries to see or label him as a servant but deep down in his heart, Kakucho is a friend and family to him, which is seen in his death in the anime/manga, AGAIN TO MY UNDERSTANDING.

"regular japanese" ➜ "[Japanese words that [name] isn't familiar with]

"filipino/tagalog/taglish" ➜ (English translations for the readers)

Japanese characters may also appear, depends on my mood or plans for each chapter.

WERE YOU TECHNICALLY A KIDNAPPER? Yeah, definitely. Considering you were forcing the boy to stay inside your home until he actually fixed up his face. So now you were blocking the door with your arms spread wide to emphasize the whole 'you can't get through me' with one hand holding a razor.

Honestly he was a bit surprised you didn't get sick considering you didn't get a shower quickly and didn't dry yourself properly like he had done, but that surprised washed away and turned to annoyance and frustration. "Let me out of here!" he hissed, "nuh uh, not until you groom your face, you're not going anywhere looking like a homeless man!" you argued pointing an accusing finger at him.

'homeless man?! homeless?!!?' he blinked, yeah you hit the mark on that one considering now that he thought about it, he had left his shared apartment and had been walking around aimlessly. "Tignan mo! Totoo naman sinasabi ko ah!" You huffed crossing your arms and he glared at you again, and you smirked back before bargaining "I'll tell you what I said if you shave that beard of yours."

Izana could live with the fact of never truly knowing his mother tongue, but that smirk on your face annoyed him so begrudgingly he grabbed the razor and headed for the bathroom. He ignored the light footsteps that followed after him and a giggle. You were by far infuriating and so very weird, he couldn't understand your actions.

Why the hell would you care for some stranger like him?

Like you said, he looked like a homeless man now that he took a good look at himself in the mirror. His eyes had sunken in clear grief, eyes not as vibrant as Kakucho would point out. His white locks had gotten longer, messier as he was forming some sort of goatee look, you were definitely exaggerating on him having a beard but what ever-, he began to use the razor and shaving cream you had on the counter. These products were definitely for men, did you have a boyfriend? because then this would be very weird and all sorts of wrong.

Considering he was already doing what you wanted your smirk turned to a more easy going and relaxed smile, "By the way I said 'See! I'm telling the truth' about your beard that is." he shot you an annoyed look as he went back to silently focusing on shaving the excess hair off his face.

His thoughts continued with questions about you and the reason behind your actions. People weren't nice just because, right? he reasoned with himself. The people and the workers at the orphanage were nice, simply because they were paid to do so. Any girl who approached him before this was simply because of attraction and so on, so what was your reason, motives, for helping him?

He could see you in the reflections of the mirror, standing behind him with an indecipherable expression. Your smile had long since slipped off as you seemed dazed, thinking something so deeply.

And for a moment he stopped, razor hovering just above his face but he didn't say anything, he only observed. Soon enough your eyes cleared and your lips formed to a smile again, this time looking sheepish, perhaps you noticed how dazed you were.

Izana didn't care to find out as he set the razor down and turned to you, your eyes widened for a moment and he could tell you were probably smitten with his looks now because honestly, he at least knew he was attractive on some level. "You look younger than I thought." you honestly said and he bit his inner cheek, was that all you had to say???

"Wait- how old did you think I was??" he questioned, "ah well considering your previous facial features I thought you were in your late 20s, your hair color is a bit of a tricky element to guessing you age." his jaw went slack at what you had admitted.

The only thing on his mind was,

did you not have any self-preservation or caution??? you let a man, the opposite gender, inside your own home without even bothering to check his age, or name, and shit! Did you not care of the dangerous what-ifs? what if he was someone else? someone who didn't take no for an answer? who didn't see some nice but dumb Samaritan, but an easy target.

His nose flared, getting angry for some reason, he didn't care, really, but why was he so angry??

Noticing how his face twisted in anger, you quickly added "its not that bad!" "You are a fucking idiot." he rebuked with a much more nastier glare, "I could have been a serial killer!"

"Oh really? that'd be swell, I want to be on the news."

He stared at you, lavender eyes disappearing between pretty white lashes as he blinked at your response. He kinda knew regular teens had this sort of dark humor, but, did you really not care? He released a heavy and long sigh, deciding he needed a drink so he headed to the kitchen, opening the refrigerator he noticed it was empty. "What the??" he checked the cabinets and found nothing edible. "Oh yeah I forgot to get some groceries, the noodles and eggs last night were the last of what I had." you casually admitted with a shrug.

His eyes twitched, instead of getting saved from the pits of despair, maybe he had actually died and was no in hell and you were his torturer???

And that's how you two ended up going out to get some groceries. For some reason, and to your surprise, he went with you. You had expected him to have either stayed at your apartment or at least left and go in separate ways but pleasantly enough for you at least, he had stuck with you. Following beside you as you went to the usual supermarket.

He often find eyes straying towards him because of his skin color, so he wasn't really surprised when the same thing happened again. Only this time, it strayed to you as well. Perhaps it was because of the aura you had, perhaps they sensed that you weren't Japanese. But you continued on, seemingly not affected as you didn't lower your head or sped up.

٩(^ᗜ^ )و '-

Getting groceries was luckily not as much of a hassle, you two didn't stay for long, nor were you indecisive and took too long to pick a brand or an item as you probably already thought about it during your walk to the supermarket. Izana stared at you oddly however when you asked if he wanted anything, you two weren't roommates nor was he planning to stay longer than usual, the only reason he came was honestly just to repay you for giving him a meal, he could practically hear kakucho's voice, his small voice of reason. he'd probably say.

"You should always repair a favor done to you! That's how you build trust and respect from your peers-"

"Izana!" a voice yelled and you two turned to find a black haired boy approaching you, he had a long scar on his face, one eyes was red, the other white which was close to the scar so you theorized he was visually impaired in that one eye due to whatever accident that caused the scar on his face.

You curiously looked at the male before turning to the white haired companion you had lowkey kidnapped, "so your name is Izana huh?" he looked irritated at the fact that you now knew his name.

He groaned, shooting an annoyed look at his servant, Kakucho, who gave a sheepish smile.

IZANA DIDN'T KNOW WHY but he found himself always walking aimlessly around the city, no thought lingered long enough in his mind to distract himself the hollow feeling in his heart. Shinichiro was dead, his family. . well not really family. .

Soon thunder boomed and he could see a flash of light coming from the sky, and soon he was soaking wet from the harsh rainfall. He couldn't find the energy to be annoyed or anything. He tilted his head up slightly, the stars and the moon were gone, hidden by a sea of dark clouds and the occasional lightning.

The water pricked his eyes, hitting his skin, made his clothes feel heavy and yet. .

"okay ka lang ba? (are you okay)" he heard a sound, the sound you get when you open an umbrella and soon he didn't feel the raindrops falling onto him. The white haired boy turned around, finding an equally soaked stranger standing before him, her hair was wet, attaching itself to her skin, skin that was like his. Her eyes narrowed in concern as she took in his appearance.

Her speech was foreign yet familiar all the same.

"ah di mo ba ako naiintindihan. . (ah do you not understand me?)" she muttered to herself before looking embarrassed as she pursed her lips for a moment and spoke once more, this time in Japanese "Sorry, I just. . I just thought you were Filipino like me. I shouldn't have assumed." she said sheepishly with a small smile.

Izana only stared at her in silence, causing her cheeks to flush either due to embarrassment or due to the cold? he didn't have an answer, nor did he really care.

"are you okay?" she repeated, adjusting the umbrella to cover himself properly, letting herself get continuously soak. He took a deep breath, annoyance finally bubbling inside him, he didn't need anyone to bother him, nor did he need anyone to care or take pity. "I'm standing here in the rain, what do you think?"

"sorry" she winced at his tone and yet she relented, smiling as she answered "I think kailangan mo ng noodles na may itlog, at siguro maligo noh? (you need some noodles with egg, and probably a shower noh?) " she said, shifting back to speaking in the language he did not understand as she pulled him along. "Ha? where are you taking me, oi!" he gritted his teeth but he didn't take his hand back.

"Syempre (of course) at my house" she answered like it was normal.

"Do you want to die?"

despite his threat she continued pulling him along under the rain, making their way somewhere, she easily answered without hesitation "Well I wouldn't mind, you can kill me after I feed you." He sighed again, annoyed, but he was too weak from skipping too many meals and walking in the night when he should have been sleeping.

Izana found himself standing in a small apartment building, they walked to the third floor, umbrella closed as she fiddled with her key. click! she opened the door as she walked in, setting the close umbrella outside as she pushed him in, not carrying for the forming puddles of water inside her home. Was he being kidnapped? probably.

"Okay, go shower, hahanap lang ako ng mga oversized clothes ko (I'll just find some of my oversized clothes)" she said pushing him to a door where he assumed the bathroom was in, he couldn't completely understand her but he did understand a few English words like 'oversized' and 'clothes'. He walked inside the bathroom, deciding to be a bitch later, as he began stripping himself, he finally realized just how terrible his shaking was, he felt cold, and even if he took off the heavy wet clothes he wore, he still felt heavy, his hearth and shoulders felt heavy, constantly weighing him done.

He stood inside the bathtub, opting to shower so he turned the knob and let the hot water hit him, steam started to build up in the bathroom as he pulled the curtains close. He heard a knock from the door, "I'm coming in with clothes and a towel!" she yelled and slowly opened the door, sighing in relief upon slowly peeking in to find the curtains closed shut.

The girl walked in, carefully placing the set of dry clothes on top of the closed hamper basket and taking his wet clothes and putting it in the washing machine. She herself was soaking wet but she didn't care all that much as she then left, muttering about having to cook something for dinner.

Izana stood under the hot water as he closed his eyes. . .

The white haired boy with enchanting amethyst eyes sat across from you, now in a set of warm clothes that probably felt a bit to small for him. You had to make do, finding a pair of sweatpants you got that were too big on you and an oversized shirt you got just for the oversized clothes trend you find yourself following.

In the middle of you two was your dining room's table, it was mostly empty except for a bowl of beef noddles with a few eggs, and of course a plate of rice and some eating utensils and plates in one corner.

"You should eat." you gestured with a smile, trying or hoping he'd warm up to you.

The stranger glared at you as he quipped back "You should shower."

You laughed awkwardly, there you were after all, sitting down with you still soaking wet from the rain, it wasn't as bad though, considering you weren't dripping wet. "Later, I just need to make sure you start eating." you answered.

"Why are you doing this?" he asked you with a frown and an all too familiar face, you were good at reading people so you could easily tell that the stranger you kinda kidnapped was cautious, probably been hurt too many times that he probably didn't realize you genuinely cared about him, too hurt too accept even that the world isn't always about pain and suffering, kinda like you, you know?

You leaned on your chair, back aching a bit as your fingers tapped the wooden table in a pattern "siguro Tadhana?" you said and his brows scrunched up "I may be half-filipino but I don't know the language"

The girl across him brightened up "oh so Filipino ka nga! sayang di mo alam yung Tagalog pero- (Oh so you are Filipino! a shame that you don't know tagalog but-)" at his glare you coughed and repeated it, this time in English "uhhh I said. . teka ano japanese ng Tadhana, Tadhana, tas destiny edi. . (wait what's the uh Japanese of 'Destiny', destiny, destiny then. .)"

"Destiny," you finally said snapping your fingers and turning to him, "It was destiny meeting you, for me at least." you smiled, standing up, no longer able to handle the wet clothes and the constant shivering.

"you believe in something like that?" he seemed disgusted at the taught of such a thing, if there was a thing such as destiny or fate then he had a lot of complaints.

You laughed, and he stared at you as you avoided his eyes, hand making it's way to your nape to massage it "everybody needs something to believe in, you know to keep going, to keep living." and with that you walked off, to go get a shower.

Izana stared as you walked away, thinking how stupid you were to believe in such a thing! you believe in fate so much you'd let some stranger inside your own home, he was a man, and you were a girl, were you that optimistic to endanger yourself?

"Kumain ka ha! (Make sure to eat!)"

"Dammit speak Japanese!" he hissed annoyed, "I said make sure to eat!" boy were your neighbors going to complain about the noise and the yelling.

Grumbling about you, the boy turned to the table, the noodles were still hot luckily, evident by the steam coming from it so he took a bowl filled it with rice and he just stared, wondering how he was going to eat this.

You only left bowls and spoons on the table, did you not use chopsticks?? is this food or way of eating from the Philippines??

So he sat there, looking conflicted.

And he was too prideful to ask.

Luckily you came back, remembering you had an extra towel hanging in the balcony and you just got there and found him holding a spoon and staring at the bowl of noodles.

"oh. . do you not know how to eat this style?" you asked and chuckled at the glare sent your way, maybe he was just being picky or he didn't like noodles in general. You took a seat again taking a bowl and putting some rice, noodles and egg and began eating with your spoon. "you eat the noodles with the rice?"

He honestly thought he'd just eat the egg by itself. "Well yeah, that's what I usually do back at home, it's more filling that way, y'know?"

He copied your movements and the both of you began to eat, you can handle the wet clothes for a little while longer anyways, right?
