Shū Being Socially Awkward

🎻Shū may come off as nonchalant, but he’s actually quite socially awkward (even stated by Yui+ Reiji) Yuma tries to give him a fist bump but Shū genuinely doesn’t know what it is and stands there like “huh?🧍🏼”

This could be due to his lack of socializing during childhood and his self-isolation as he got older. (aww)

Yuma: There ya have it, so just leave this to me. Come on...

Shuu: ...What?

Yuma: Haah? Ya don't know 'bout this? Ya gotta bump your fist 'gainst mine! God, these rich kids, I swear.

Shuu: ...Shut up.

Yuma: Come on, show me yer fist already. Or are ya still hesitant 'bout leaving this up to me?

Shuu: That's not it...

*attempts a fist bump*

Yuma: 'Kay, this'll do. Guess I'lI get goin' then🎻

✿ Yui is Azusa's future ✿

The work belongs to @ghostflora

This is an old post I wrote last year. I read it again and found it interesting. So I decided to repost it on Tumblr.

〜✿✿✿〜

In Taylor Swift's song "All Too Well," there's a lyric that goes:

"You told me 'bout your past thinking your future was me"

Just like that lyric, Azusa here did the same thing with Yui.

Azusa is an eccentric and enigmatic "kid" in the eyes of others. People only ever look at this poor boy and wonder, "What on earth happened to make him this way?"

But truly, no one knew, because he had never told anyone about his past. He was always quiet and withdrawn, tormenting himself by clinging to the past, painting on naive and weak smiles to cover the hidden pains within.

Why complain that people couldn't understand him if he never spoke? But did you ever ask himself who would listen to those things? Would anyone have enough patience and care to accept the story of such a pitiful life?

Even Azusa's dear brothers sometimes felt helpless, occasionally failing to understand the younger brother they had lived with for so many years. So what chance was there for a stranger to be kind enough to soothe the sorrows behind that overgrown child?

Yet, one day, he finally opened up to someone who knew nothing about him. She was a human girl, gentle and possessing a great, compassionate heart. Yui – her name – was special, unlike anyone Azusa had ever met. She was the first person to cry when she saw him self-harm. She was the one who almost obsessively focused her attention on his behavior. Instead of hurting him, she embraced his scarred body, comforting him with an unusually warm touch. She was always the one who tried to stop him from seeking death, and it seemed he never failed to see those glistening tears in her pink eyes, wetting her eyelashes.

Azusa didn't understand. Why did she do those things? It was strange that the people who had beaten him always smiled with satisfaction, or at least when he self-harmed, some would show annoyance and discomfort, or simply not understand what he was doing. Azusa was an innocent boy with poor perception, he simply understood others' emotions through their actions. But Yui, he didn't know what she wanted. Only through her unusual actions did she confuse him, she made him doubt what he believed to be true. During his days with her, he learned many new things. Things that Ruki had never taught him before, things he had never felt or experienced. Because of this, he cherished Yui even more, wanting to make her smile happily with him at all costs. The person he trusted enough to share everything about himself, the person he thought might understand him more than anyone else, was almost solely Yui.

As usual, no one wanted to get involved with Azusa. For his brothers, they considered it normal and had nothing to say, as they were used to it anyway. For strangers, they thought he was crazy, and the further away they stayed, the better. But to Yui, he was a child who needed love. He was just a poor, lonely boy who always wanted someone by his side. It was so painful how Azusa always tried to befriend everyone, but simply because he didn't know how to behave, he was always regarded by others as mentally unstable and not worth getting involved with. He was always abandoned like that, with only his scars to confide his deepest secrets. It must be said that even human or demonic creatures were inferior to the scars on his body. Though they couldn't respond in the way people usually respond to what he said, or sometimes only sudden pains would pierce him like an answer, they always silently and sincerely listened to him. They knew everything about him, understood him far better than anyone else out there. That was all Yui could see in a young man with the soul of a simple, innocent boy like Azusa.

The more she realized how pitiable he was, the more Yui wanted to help Azusa escape the dark night of his life. It wasn't long before she realized she had grown fond of him. Her resolve only intensified from then on. Yui's concern for Azusa was fully demonstrated when she tried to persuade him to give up his infected arm after it was targeted by gunfire. Even when Azusa became agitated, pushed Yui, and said the worst words he'd ever uttered, "I hate you," she still didn't give up on saving his life. Azusa, hurt by the one he loved, locked himself in his room, not seeing anyone or eating for a while, but that didn't shake Yui's determination. She climbed through the balcony door, trying her best to sneak into his room. Because of her reckless action, she fell from the balcony. Luckily, Azusa discovered it in time and saved her. Azusa again wondered why she did that, and Yui said it was because she wanted to talk to him. This was certainly strange because no one ever wanted to talk to him.

And it seemed that in that moment, Yui, in Azusa's eyes, was a ray of hope. A brilliant light shining into his life, which was only covered by darkness. Perhaps from that very moment, after her gentle hug and meaningful words teaching him to cherish himself more, Azusa saw Yui as his future when he began to voluntarily talk about his past. Everything around them seemed to sink into silence as he uttered his weak voice, confiding in Yui – something he had almost never done with anyone before. He spoke so much that even as the physical pain increasingly gnawed at his infected arm, he didn't stop. Yui, who couldn't bear to watch Azusa endure the pain of a fallen life, said he didn't have to force himself to tell it if he couldn't. But with his stubbornness and determination, amidst the pain that made him sob, sometimes shedding a few cold tears, he continued to give Yui his past, hoping she would be the future that would lead him to happier years ahead. Not disappointing Azusa, Yui listened to everything. Focusing on every word, every fragile sound in the confined room. She understood everything, realized everything, and comprehended his heart in just a few minutes of attentive listening. Her love for him was also gradually growing in this situation. And at the same time, Yui officially became Azusa's future.

As if implicitly understanding the trust he bestowed upon her, Yui decided to stay by his side forever. Becoming his future, a future filled with sun-drenched paths. Where he would always immerse himself in the warmth of the morning sun instead of the silent night carrying the coldness of indifferent hearts and the endless loneliness existing under the moonlight.

Azusa's 13th Anniversary Messages ~

Note: Hi, I'm back after a while of not posting any translations. I've been going through a rough time and I've been very tired. I'm so sorry for that...

Btw, when I read the lines below, I felt healed and decided to translate it. I hope Azu-nya will make you feel as warm as he did me (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)

***

"Do you remember the day we first met...? I will always remember... Since that moment, my mind has been filled with nothing but thoughts of you...

The pain, the hardships, they’re slowly fading away... Because all I can recall are the memories with you...

Fufu, I’m so happy.

I wish to grant all your desires... So, please, stay by my side forever, my beloved Eve..."

***

Revealing The Answer To Fan's Message From Rejet ~

Q1. What type of clothing do you like on girls?

No matter what Eve wears, I always find her adorable...

When Eve wears what she loves, she looks so happy, and I find her even more charming...

Q2. If you hold hands, do you prefer the lover’s hand-holding style (恋人繋ぎ) (1) or just a tight hand-hold?

I... prefer the lover’s hand-holding style ... Because that way, I feel like I can touch Eve more...

But... just holding hands isn’t enough...

So it makes me feel uneasy...

Q3. When you can’t sleep, what do you usually do to sleep better?

In the past... I used to hurt myself...

Doing that helped calm my mind...

But since meeting Eve... I haven’t done that anymore.

When I hold Eve in my arms, I feel at peace and fall into a deep sleep...

Q4. The knives you display as a collection, where do you get them?

Lately... as long as I don’t harm myself, the three of them find things they think I might like and bring them to me...

They have become my treasures...

Q5. If you could, would you want to work out with us?

If I worked out... I’d get as big as Yuma, right...?

But... Yuma is so big, he often bumps his head into things...

I don’t want to be like that...

(1) 恋人繋ぎ (Koibito tsunagi): The hand-holding style where lovers interlock their fingers.

I like both, he looks good either way. :3

Actually, I didn't notice at all when since I didn't play/watch any of the games, I've only seen the anime & now looking back I'm like "WHO TF IS THAT?? Why did they change him??" 🤣🤣

They gave him blueish-green hair with purple eyes, which I don't mind cause it looks good. (Especially the close ups of his eyes!! Absolutely LOVE those shots!!~)

I like the idea of Azusa dying his hair & wearing colored contacts. 🤣🤣

[mukamibasement]

Idk if just me but out of all the DL boys, I feel like Azusa have been the least "problematic" DL boys meaning he barely gets any complaints or shit talks or anything from fans he is just their. Idk about others but from my side I remember people been complaining about the rest of the boys but their's barely anyone complaints about Azusa.

This is why this little guy is the Ace in DL no causing trouble and not even a big giant wall can stop him

Birthday Merch rotation.

Sorry, I know I'm late to this... I was also confused when they dropped his as I was archiving their sets.

I'm still new to archiving merchandise & such, but Kou's Birthday box being labelled as "2024" would TECHNICALLY be correct since his box is the last one to be released & their new set of Birthday boxes starts with Laito/the triplets.

[mukamibasement]

// I like how now we got all DL characters as their “official” Alice in Wonderland characters in the game style! 🩵

Thanks to this post , I was able to understand who represents who:

Yui- Alice, Ayato- White Rabbit, Kanato- Queen of Hearts, Subaru- The Doorknob, Ruki- The Blue Caterpillar, Laito- The Pigeon, Kino and Shin- Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Carla- Bill The Lizard, Azusa- Mock Turtle, Shu- Dormouse, Yuma- The March Hare, Reiji- Mad Hatter, Kou- Cheshire Cat
