Send your troubles out to sea

@friendlyoceangiant - Continued from here!

"Dude, seriously. We’re here already, so could you please put me down now?!”

To say Kaoru was mortified would be an understatement. His face was flushed beet red and he was determinedly staring anywhere other than Mizumachi’s grinning face. Really, how the hell had he managed to get himself into such a weird situation?!

Ah, right. He’d been moping, having heard from his sister that their father was none-too impressed that she was funding his relocation to Bellevue. And now they were arguing, which just made Kaoru feel sick to the pit of his stomach. ...He’d left Japan to get away from all that tension, he’d thought that by leaving, things might eventually cool down. ...Now he’d caused a rift between his father and his sister. Ha....even after being kicked out...he really was the worst, wasn’t he?

But before he could have gotten too upset, before he could have succumbed to the tears he’d felt building, this human tornado had happened upon him. And before Kaoru could even properly comprehend it, this guy had just scooped him up like a princess and ran with him in his arms through Bellevue! In full view of everyone!

“Ah, this is seriously embarrassing~! What if someone at my agency saw?! If I get in trouble, you’re taking the blame!”

Directing complaints at the young man still holding him, (so embarrassing, what if people were getting the wrong idea?!) Kaoru let his eyes wander over the beach. He’d been here a few times before to scope the place out for surfing, but he’d never been able to linger. But now....as much as he’d like to disagree, Mizumachi was right. This part of the beach had a wonderful view, the sea stretching out before them almost endlessly, the horizon only broken by distant islands.

Combined with the rhythmic flow of the waves, it was almost soothing. Hypnotic, even. There was just one small issue.

“Mizumachi-san. Please, I’m begging you! Let me down, for crying out loud!”

Hello sad Stranger! (drabble)

Mizumachi and I don’t know much of your chara but shhhhhh I wanna challenge the meme because…yes. I’m also going with submission since I love to write. OTL|||||||||| So sue me.

Mizumachi was walking around feeling rather happy at the moment. Today was a good day after all! A wonderful day! The only thing was that he saw someone up ahead who… seemed not to feel the same way he did.

Something about him seemed heavy. Was he sad? Was he upset by something?

Today was such a great day though! The sun was shining bright, the light breeze counteracted the harsh rays of the sun. In combination, the weather today was neither too warm nor too cold. It was just right.

Can’t be wasting this day away by being sad! He couldn’t have that! He didn’t even know the person but no one deserved to be sad on this day! It was a great day– to go SWIMMING!

EXERCISE! That really gets the blood pumping! Adrenaline! The rush of excitement compels you to be the best you can be~! Got to enjoy life!

[Tsk tsk tsk]

‘I don’t know who you are, but get ready for Kengo Mizumachi~!’

The tall male pat Kaoru’s back before he slung an arm across his shoulders. He had to stretch a bit with the height difference, but that was okay!

“Nhaa~ Today’s a great day, isn’t it? Why do I see a frown on your face? Gotta smile, man! See? Like me!”

Flashing a big grin on his face, he looked at Kaoru, half-expecting for him to return the smile. Unfortunately for the latter, Mizumachi was not exactly the patient type so he playfully used his fingers to move the corners of his lips upwards into a smile.

A smile escapes the tall man as he lets his face go, allowing for his lips to fall down if they so pleased. “A smile you know is contagious! Like uhhh… yawns and stuff! Bacteria too! No? Wait… Viruses?”

Scratching the top of his head as he contemplated this, he soon gave up with a shrug of the shoulders.

“Anyways! You don’t seem all too good right now, so I’m going to fix that! The name is Kengo Mizumachi! Call me Mizumachi, will ya? I’m going to be your new friend! Haha!”

A bold declaration coming from the swimming footballer.

The best way to get out of your sadness was to exercise! It relieved the body of stress and if you tired out too much, you simply had no energy left to be sad!

Genius idea, he knows.

Looking up at the sky, the expression of his face changed to a somewhat more serious one. “I don’t know what you are hurting about but on such a great day everyone deserves to be happy. Everyone needs that one person to tell them they are worth it and that someone cares for them.”

Sometimes Mizumachi himself was saddened by things. Especially when he looked down at the swimming pool. The memories of his past teammates shunning him for him working 'too hard’ even though he was trying his best to get them to nationals… hurt.

It turned him off from swimming for a while.

He then found an interest in American football and made amazing friends! Those who could follow a dream alongside him and everyone worked their hardest to make it come true!

Having people by his side to validate him and make him feel useful was what he needed in life. His teammates reassured him and allowed him to remember that people cared for him. There is no 'I’ in team, but there is love.

Hah? Oh! He just ruined that idiom, didn’t he with his inner monologue? HAHA! Sorries!

“If you don’t have a friend who can do that for you, then I’ll be that friend! I don’t know you that well since we just met and stuff but yer a cool dude! Just something about you tells me so.”

He took a hold of Kaoru’s arm and gave a slight tug. “Come on, let’s go! Gotta to to the beach right now! The weather is perfect and it’s a great way to relax and be happy! Soak up the happy rays from the sun!”

Really, Mizumachi just wanted to go to the beach. He loved swimming and the beach was a great place to go about it! Much more– you could also babe watch!

Wasn’t that also a happy thing? What kind of guy were you if you didn’t find babe watching a happy thing?

Hey– even if you didn’t like girls, hott guys are still 'babes’ right? Maybe they were dudes? Huh.

Whatever.

“You’ll come right? There is a great place at the beach wit a really great view, i’m sure it’ll wash allll your troubles away! If not, I’ll stick with ya until you smile and laugh freely!”

He started leading the way, practically dragging Kaoru along to cater to his whims. You know what? He wants to get there even faster!

They gotta get there now!

“Hey… don’t be too surprised but… UPSIE-DAISY!!” He picked Kaoru up and started running~!

His laughter filled the streets as he was too focused on going to the beach and having fun with his new friend to really think of the consequences of him picking Kaoru up.

That could be social destruction for a guy, much more for an idol!

Sorry Kaoru, Mizumachi just has no filter. ————————————————————

I gave it my best shot, man. I only hope this didn’t make it worse for him lol. Mizumachi is just… forgive him. OTL

@withblame

A new start, a chance to begin again without his father’s interference. In reality he should have been overjoyed, but the memory of that night weighed heavily on Kaoru’s mind. Perhaps he shouldn’t have been so hasty, running halfway across the world. Maybe he should have said something to his father before he left....

Maybe that lingering regret, that resentment, was how the idol found himself sitting on a bench outside Secrets Hotel and casino, heads in his hands and shaking slightly. (From emotions? From the cold? He wasn’t sure)

Damn it. He really had drank too much, hadn’t he? What an idiot he was. He’d run halfway across the world, with the help of his sister, and he we was, wasting her money on trying to escape his feelings. (At least he’d come to his senses quickly enough to stop drinking before he’d spent anymore money or gotten any drunker)

He really was the worst, wasn’t he? No wonder his father said he wasn’t worthy of the Hakaze family name...

Leaning back against the bench, Kaoru attempted to clear his head as best as possible, a slightly queasy expression appearing on his face. Damn his always being a good boy back home shtick and never drinking before he’d turned 20! He was so uncool like this...he was almost glad he was so far away from Japan, so far away from the family he was still disgracing...

Not realizing he was speaking aloud, Kaoru closed his eyes briefly, also not realizing he now had company.

“Nnn...m’head’s all fuzzy...”

pacillon:

to ; @melxdyinthedark.

▏ ╎▐  Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ;; 

❝ — how does this keep happening? ❞ thumbing through random envelopes, lips twist and purse in bewilderment as heels navigate ‘round the various entrances and exits of the complex ; she’s looking for the ACTUAL recipient of the assorted mail that was delivered to her apartment accidentally. after an ( uncalculated ) estimate of ten minutes and matching the name on the mailbox with the one listed as the receiver, kimora found herself staring at the door. one knock, then another, awaiting to see if the individual would come forth.

It was funny. His sister had sent him an email (mildly irritated, if he was reading it correctly), asking why the hell he hadn’t responded to any of her letters. He’d tried to brush it off; that he was busy with finding work, that writing letters was so old-fashioned, that he wanted to but if what if they got lost in the post?

Truth was, Kaoru hadn’t received any of her letters. Not one. Maybe they were simply delayed, she’d never said she’d sent them by Air Mail or Surface Mail. Or maybe he’d given her the wrong address when he was half-asleep with jetlag. Either way, what she’d told him worried him. The silly woman had sent him more money, to ‘make sure he’d settle in properly.’

He’d already used (wasted) so much of her money, the idea that it could have gone missing made Kaoru feel ill.

Which is how the idol found himself at the entry hall of his apartment,  ready to head to the post office to officially report the letters as missing in transit. Shrugging his jacket on, Kaoru started a little at the sudden knock to the door, staring at it in surprise. In the short time he’d lived here, no-one has called before... A second rap startled him out of his reverie and he hastily scrambled for the latch.

“A-ah! Coming!”

Pulling open the door, the idol inward cursed himself. Standing before him was a girl, a very pretty girl at that. Hastily running his hand through his messy locks in an attempt to make them look a little better, (he failed) he offered the young lady a charming smile, not noticing (for now) what was clutched in her hand.

“Aah! Have I been blessed by the gods to see an angel so early in the morning? Hallelujah! Ahahaha! What can I do for you, miss~?”

[melxdyinthedark-blog]

“Hmm...I’d have thought there’d be that kind of shop in a place like this, but...”

Frowning slightly, Kaoru let his eyes wander around the beachfront of Bayside. This probably wasn’t the best way to be spending the money his sister lent him, but surely she’d understand that he needed to blow off some steam in some way that wasn’t irresponsible. She always had before. Besides, it wasn’t as though he was constantly spending her money on frivolous things; once he started getting proper work at Wild Angels Entertainment, he’d be able to pay her back.

But that would have to wait a while. After what that stranger had said to him the other day... Kaoru just really needed to blow off some steam, he couldn’t got to work like this. He’d just mess everything up, become a nuisance and get disenchanted by the whole idol thing again... Then he’d be even more of a failure in his family’s eyes. Sighing softly,he shook his head. Best not to dwell too much on that. 

Strolling along the beachfront once more,  the idol hailed down a passer-by, smiling slightly.

“Yo. You wouldn’t happen to know if there’s a surf shop nearby, would you?”

[melxdyinthedark-blog]

Rumor has it you're father kicked you out not because of your career path but because of what you are

‘Rumor has it’ meme // No longer accepting!

Silence. That was all that greeted the stranger to start with, hazel eyes staring at them in shock. In anger.

In fear.

“What…what kinda crap is this…?!” The words were intended to be harsh, to drive the other away, but they came out so weak and wavering. So pathetic sounding. Just like him.

At once, all those feelings of self-loathing, of confusion and fear welled up inside the idol and he turned away from the other with a shuddering breath, folding his arms tightly, defensively.

‘What he was?’ He was Kaoru Hakaze, an idol. A self-proclaimed playboy; half the world was engaged to be married to him after all! That kind of talk had gotten him yelled at by his old man before.

Along with…

Unconsciously, his hand strayed to his right ear, finger gently brushing the almost invisible hole in the lobe. That was a joke. It didn’t mean anything, he’d just wanted to pierce his ear, to annoy his father.

It didn’t mean anything!

He wasn’t…

“Yeah, you’re right, y’know. I’m a disgrace to the family name, I’m not a true Hakaze son. I’ve never lived up to his expectations, I’m not good enough. That’s why���”

He couldn’t finish. He didn’t even know what he was saying anymore.

He didn’t know what to think anymore.

Me: I’ll do all my replies and starters when I get home~

Stomach: Is that so?

Uuuuuu, why do I always get sick at conventions this in’t fair OTL. Anyways, yet again, starters are delayed, but they will be published sometime tomorrow, along with the stuff in my inbox.

(Yes, incluing THAT ask. You broke my heart anon. ; A ; )

Until then~

[melxdyinthedark-blog]

Rumour has it that you're still single even with all that flirting~

‘Rumor has it’ meme // Still accepting!

“Oi, oi, Tsukinaga-kun.”

Kaoru screwed up his nose at his former year mate, trying his hardest not to sigh too loudly. Really, why bring up something so embarrassing?! And as the first thing to say to him after nearly two years of not seeing each other?!

Sometimes Kaoru couldn’t help but wonder how the other wasn’t considered as an Oddball, he was almost stranger than the Oddballs themselves! In any case, he couldn’t let that comment slide by.

“Besides can you tease me about that when you’re single too, Tsukinaga-kun?! People in glass houses and all that~!”

[melxdyinthedark-blog]

Rumour has it you once dated a vampire

‘Rumour has it’ meme // Still accepting!

“Eh?” Sengoku-kun?!

Widened brown eyes stared at the younger boy for a moment before the older idol burst out laughing, clutching at his stomach. Really, this kid–! He was still saying crazy things, even two years later. In a way it was hilarious, but also a comfort. A comfort that, despite all the time passing, all the things that might have happened, Shinobu was still that funny kid with crazy ideas.

…It wasn’t as though he was talking about Sakuma-san, was he?

With a golden eye staring intently at him, Kaoru did his best to pull himself together, wiping away tears of mirth and shaking his head with a grin.

“Sorry Sengoku-kun! I’ve dated some girls that were into neck nibbling, but no vampires!”

Gomen, gomen for this! Kaiden, Takashi and Haise’s starters will all (hopefully) be posted when I get home on Sunday evening.

Until then, it was lovely to meet you all today~!

[melxdyinthedark-blog]

@maidfactor

“Ah, Miss! Lemme get that for you!”

Rushing ahead for the younger girl, Kaoru pushed open the door to the Soleil Apartments complex, flashing her a sunny smile. She was a real cutie, but looked way too young to even think about flirting with. 

Oh well. It didn’t mean the idol couldn’t be nice to her anyways. Waiting until the girl had entered the lobby, Kaoru followed her inside, offering her his hand.

“So, you live here too? Kinda makes us neighbours then, doesn’t it? In a rounabout way ahaha... I’m Kaoru Hakaze, just arrived here. Nice too meet you, Miss!”

[melxdyinthedark-blog]

@2032

Yawning loudly, Kaoru shut the door to his apartment behind him, shouldering his backpack. There were a lot of things to try and adjust to, jet lag being the biggest concern at the moment. His sleep schedule was all over the place, not helped by constant ‘what-if’s’ and ‘I should have’s’ running around in the idol’s mind.

Glancing down at his watch, Kaoru swore under his breath. Shit! How was it that late already?! Even for someone as laid-back as him, being late for his first day at work with Wild Angels Entertainment was not how he intended to start his new life. He hadn’t come all this way, put such a dent in his big sister’s savings, to get kicked out of work on his first day!

Rushing thrown the apartment complex’s lobby, Kaoru paid little heed to those around him. Which was probably why he ended up crashing in straight into another male, nearly sending them both sprawling.

“Uwaah! S-sorry about that, man! I’m just in a hurry....I didn’t hurt you or anything, did I?”

[melxdyinthedark-blog]

Hello, hello! My name is Shizuka and it’s wonderful to meet you all! It’s been a while since I’ve been a member of a MFRP group, but I’m can’t wait to dive in a RP with you all, please take care of me!

So, let’s the show started, hm? Like this post for a starter from the resident play! Cap is at 5 to start and apologies for delays in reply. Genius me thought it would be a great idea to set this up the day before a convention (y)
