The Precious You

A/N: Hi! I'm back to post my fanfics! I've noticed I have a pattern when it comes to posting but I'll do my best to commit more, especially with an ongoing multi-chapter fic!

This fanfic was written way before but I only finished it. While there are barely any spoilers in this fic as this is a direct sequel of another fic, there might be some references to Scandal arc.

He slowly turned his head towards the object of his affection standing behind him. There, he saw Kana in all her glory holding a cat-patterned umbrella.

The rain fell down hard from the heavens above that one night.

A lone figure dressed in a black hoodie and jogging pants stood in front of Arima Kana's apartment. That person couldn't care less if he was drenched to the bone or if the sky brewed up a storm that seemed to be getting worse and worse. Then again, what does it matter when the world is going shit around him?

Feeling the bit of hateful emotion spark inside him, he lifted his head to stare at what was ahead of him. The apartment complex's lobby was just there in front of him, only separated by automatic glass doors. He would have no problem taking shelter if he only moved.

Ah, but why was he here again?

He didn't know how he even got there. He doesn't remember anything after his afternoon photoshoot. He knew he still had the energy to pretend everything was alright from morning to mid-afternoon as he moved through his busy schedule. After that, it seemed his brain decided to go on autopilot.

The days passed so quickly since he revealed to that reporter his tragic past in this life.

After he came home that night, the house was deadly silent, and Ruby locked her door, leaving no one, not even Miyako, to talk to her. Then, the world finally discovered Ai's connections to the twins, and the news became a hot-trending topic. His schedule and Ruby's were suddenly full of press releases, TV show appearances, and more interviews as if everyone needed to hear their heartbreak and resolution on the matter.

To say it was chaotic and tiring was an understatement.

And, yet, they had to go on and pretend and act and act and act and lie.

They had to function like perfect humans.

Aqua would have used this buzz and continued with his plans for revenge, but it was like a part of him broke. Even the constant voices of Little Aqua and Goro in his head were so muted he could barely tell they were there. It's been like that for days, and while he'd like to be grateful he couldn't hear their taunts and poisonous words, he couldn't feel anything. He was too numb to function.

"Aqua? What are you..." A familiar voice called out.

He slowly turned his head towards the object of his affection standing behind him. There, he saw Kana in all her glory holding a cat-patterned umbrella. He felt a twinge in his heart seeing that umbrella that made him remember that one rainy night - the same night he realized his murderer of a father was alive and her attempts to shield him from the rain, only for him to unintentionally shake her off.

The warm touch of a cold hand brought him out of his trance, and before he knew it, he was pulled towards the entrance with a bit of struggle. Now that he realized it, the umbrella mostly shielded him from the rain as Kana tried to drag him while struggling to maintain the current height of the umbrella. If anything, she was starting to get soaked as it barely covered her due to its size and their height difference.

"Come on. Let's get you dried up."

-------------------------------

It was silent - too silent and unbearable.

Arima Kana stood in her kitchen, all the while stealing glances at one Hoshino Aqua sitting on the couch with a towel on his head. It's been like that for a while. Even when she quickly changed to more comfortable clothes and grabbed several fresh towels from her wardrobe, Aqua was silent. It was painful to see him like this - all hurt and lost with the light in his eyes dimmed and extinguished as if he was dead.

But Kana knows herself too well to know that another emotion was competing with the pain she felt for Aqua. She knew she was annoyed and angry. And, she had every right to be. After being ignored by Aqua for what seemed like forever and being told to go away, he appears in front of her apartment complex looking like a drenched puppy in need of help. What the hell?

Click.'

She softly sighed as the pot finished boiling water.

It's not like anything was going to come out of expressing her annoyance and anger over something that happened in the past. Right now, Aqua needs her. He needs a friend.

With two mugs full of hot cocoa, she went towards Aqua and calmed her thoughts. The mugs made a tiny sound as she gently placed them on the table, and she waited for him to react or even make a single movement.

One beat passed and a few more, but there was nothing.

Again, a sigh.

Kana's hand reached out to the towel on top of his head and, as she got closer, the memory of that one other rainy night caused her to flinch and jerk her hand away by a few millimeters. The thought of him pushing away her again caused a twinge in her heart to the point of paralyzing her in her spot. But, as quick as the look of hurt came by, it was also how swiftly she steered herself away from the memory to continue her original plan. She dried his hair as gently as possible and the idol actress couldn't help but be grateful for not being told to leave.

A beat.

And another.

And another one.

Until, finally, Arima Kana couldn't help it and released a loud sigh. "So, what happened? Why are you here?"

"..."

"Fine. Staying silent is what you're good at anyway."

"..."

"Geez, what's the use of your mouth if you can't use it to tell how you feel?"

"I... see..."

Kana stopped in her tracks and, this time, softly said, “What?”

“I wanted to see you,” Aqua answered with a voice barely audible as if he didn’t want to let her know — like he was scared of something. The actress completely stopped what she was doing and wordlessly sat beside him. To her surprise, he leaned his head on her shoulder. “That time when I found out you were involved in a possible scandal, my mind was a mess.”

A weak, broken chuckle escaped the actor’s lips. Kana could feel the gravity of his emotions, and yet, she didn’t speak a word. She listened to him as quietly as possible while letting him feel and know that she was there for him.

“I thought I couldn’t afford to lose you. I wouldn’t be able to handle it if the same thing happened to you just like with Ai.” He sounded so lost and in pain that she almost didn’t know what to say.

Instead, she looked away with a bitter laugh.“You and I both know I don’t have many fans.”

“But we don’t know what kind of fans you have. I don’t want to live a life knowing you-” Kana didn’t want to hear a single word from him anymore. She knew that he was on the edge and he was spiraling down.

Squishing his face, she looked at him with her bright red eyes and said “Listen, I don’t have plans of going down that easily. If you think I’ll let myself just kick the bucket then you’re sorely mistaken! I’m not as weak as you think I am!”

A stunned expression graced Aqua’s face.

Of course, he knew Kana was not like Ai. They weren’t alike. While Ai has continued to be a star that lies and that everyone looks up to, the girl in front of him shone brightly as the sun and was the truest star out there.

But, even the sun dims and will die one day.

The thought cracks Aqua’s shocked look and his face slips into utter despair. He unravels. He breaks down without a single word and clings to the precious star. A part of himself is insistent on ensuring that he won’t forget what could happen to her if he lets his guard down — it’s a voice stronger than Goro and little Aqua he has been used to hearing. And, he sits there, lost in his own thoughts, afraid of what could possibly come.

“Aqua…” Kana trailed off as the actor continued to wail and clung tighter on her.

She wasn’t oblivious. She knows how to observe. And, she knows this was not a time for words.

And, so, Kana just wrapped her arms around him as much as she could. She brings him closer to her, pats his head, and squishes down any unnecessary words that attempt to escape from her mouth. She takes a deep breath because she knows she has to be the calm one right now.

And, she stays with him throughout the night… just like the comfort that he needs at present.

Posting my HimeKana fanfic

Checking if you guys want me to post and update the Himekana fanfic I've been working on?

It's already on AO3 but I just wanna check if anyone wants it to be posted here too?

[suinotsuki]

Scaramona/Wandermona Modern/Professional AU!

A/N: This fanfic idea has been sitting in my notes for quite a while already. It's just now that I've been able to come to terms that it will be a while before I write a complete fic of it so... here you go~. Enjoy!

Other Links: Genshin Impact Masterlist

Scaramona/Wandermona Modern/Professional! AU where... Mona is a famous astrologist and content creator. Scaramouche/Wanderer is a model and actor who is also an idol part of a group called 6REEZE.

6REEZE appearing on a talk show and this episode's topic is all about love, compatibility, and dating.

Enter Mona, the astrology expert whom the producers of the show decided to get as the episode's subject matter expert and guest!

The show goes quite well at first with the members engaging in every way and even spilling a bit on their types.

Mona, of course, commented on how compatible they would be based on their astrology and what kind of partner they'd want to look for.

Cue Scaramouche snorting loudly at one of her statements.

At first, Mona would try to keep her cool. She was on air for crying out loud, after all!

But one comment from Scaramouche of how "this is stupid" and man, she just snapped so bad.

The show that was supposed to be all about "love, dating, and compatibility" somehow turned into what seemed to be a childish debate that still made a lot of sense and good points from both sides (a.k.a Scaramouche and Mona's)

The other 6REEZE members, of course, tried to intervene by trying to get Scaramouche to stop it.

The host never felt so powerless and could only feel small as she was literally caught in between the fierce verbal exchange of the all-arounder idol and the astrologist.

"Wanderer, Mona, I think the two of you make valid points but let's try to breathe and-"

"Shut up, Aether. You don't have a say in this."

"Wow! Is that how you really treat your groupmate? Some kind of a Capricorn you are!"

At this point, the producer on set was already shaking their head seeing how much money they're gonna lose for filming this episode.

The director knew their host couldn't handle the guests with how she was left trembling in her seat as the argument became louder.

Even the writer/researcher was close to tears as she witnessed the chaos creating a core memory in her first few months of employment.

Needless to say, Scaramouche and Mona's intelligent yet childish banter has forced the show to not air the episode.

It's also been decided by the network that there was no way they would be guesting the two in the same show ever again.

But, after that encounter? Oh, boy, they were really curious about each other to the point of searching each other up.

One can be found streaming a certain astrologist's live videos under an anonymous account.

Another one would end up enjoying the group's songs and the dramas he was part of.

Would they have a chance reunion with their views of each other changed? Well, that would be a mystery.

Going back to writing!

Hi!

I had an unexpected mini-break from writing fics since work swallowed me whole. I'll try to go back to writing fics this week and hopefully post the OnK AquKana fic I've been working on this month. I'll do my best!

[suinotsuki]

Scaramona/Wandermona Royalty AU - First Meeting

Scaramona/Wandermona Royalty AU where... Scaramouche never parted with Ei in his younger years and is the prince of Inazuma. Mona was adopted into the royal family of Khaenriah thus making her a princess and becoming Kaeya's adopted sister.

Every five years, the kings and queens of the royal families of all nations, choose a nation for their diplomacy talks. In that faithful year, Khaenriah was decided to be the nation to hold the talks.

Scaramouche decided to accompany Ei to the diplomacy talks as crown prince.

If it was before he left Inazuma, he would ask for Miko's help to convince his mother. Now, he asked to go with her with the excuse of fulfilling his duties. But, it was really to make up for lost time.

Meanwhile, Mona was busy on the first day the diplomacy talk was held.

Why? Because the stars were the brightest that day and she had to prepare to make sure the evening would be perfect for her astrological needs. After all, she'd be busy in the afternoon with the guests.

Luckily for her, being a princess was a more lenient position than Kaeya's. He would have to help their mother and father with the morning preparations. They would look for her, but she knows she can get away easily from it. As long as she comes back before noon, it'll be fine.

"The guests are arriving soon. I'll need to move quick," she muttered with a quick glance at the clock.

So, Mona hurriedly crossed the courtyard garden. It was then she noticed a boy dressed in clothes not from their nation kneeling by the corner of the garden. Her first instinct was to ignore him. However, for someone to enter the deeper part of the palace made her alert even for a guest.

"Hey! What are yo-"

The boy turned and Mona ended up stopping mid-stride. That was when she got a good look at him and at what he was doing. Mona didn't know how he ended up feeding the birds in the palace garden, but the moment she turned her gaze back at him, she couldn't help but be captured by his presence.

It was like looking at a gentle, divine being with looks incomparable to the stars she loved so much. Hell, if she would be honest, she's never seen anything prettier than the eyes of the royal family until she saw him.

"What the fuck are you looking at?"

She twitched in annoyance.

Apparently, looks are highly deceiving especially if it comes from a sharp-mouthed boy.

Scaramona/Wandermona Royalty AU - Scaramouche/Kuni's Story

Scaramona/Wandermona Royalty AU where... Scaramouche or Kuni never parted with Ei in his younger years and is the prince of Inazuma. Mona was adopted into the royal family of Khaenriah thus making her a princess and becoming Kaeya's adopted sister.

Our beautiful but sheltered prince of Inazuma.

Had a good relationship with Ei ever since he was young and she kept him close to her.

Only stayed inside the castle as Ei feared something bad will happen to him.

Barely made public appearances.

Mostly heard about the "outside world" through stories and really grew up as a very innocent soul.

Wanted to go outside and practically begged Ei when he was 15 for him to explore the world.

It took the help of Yae Miko for Ei to agree.

Traveled the entirety of Teyvat except for Khaenriah for 5 years and you'd think that was short, but it was one hell of a trip with so many events squeezed into 5 years.

Stayed in Tatarasuna for 1 year with the locals there unaware he was the prince.

The locals were definitely weirded out and yet felt refreshed with the innocent and positive vibe he brought at first.

They taught him so many things and he became so close to them.

But a certain doctor turned his dream into a nightmare...

An incident happened in Tatarasuna that led to a confrontation between him and the doctor

"you failed to protect your people. isn't it your fault they died, prince?"

It was then the prince felt grief, anger, hate, and self-loathing altogether.

After that incident, rather than exploring the world out of curiosity, the prince explored to hunt the doctor down.

As he continued on his self-assigned mission, he saw from other nations how evil people can be.

"this is far from what I believed"

With a heart betrayed by the world he believed in, he starts thinking of how the world is full of lies.

Finally, he catches up to the doctor in Snezhnaya and joins the Fatui to get close to him.

His plan goes awry to put the doctor down.

He doesn't remember how he ended up in Sumeru and he barely remembers being brainwashed by the doctor.

The next thing he knew was waking up in his aunt's royal palace feeling disoriented.

Nahida puts him up to speed when he was feeling better.

With many thoughts circulating in his head, he stays in Sumeru for 6 months.

He recuperates and reflects on what Nahida told him.

"if I can just make things right..."

"the only thing we can do is reflect and pay for our actions by moving forward"

His final month in Sumeru led to Nahida asking him if he wants to go back to Inazuma.

He wants to but feels uneasy.

Nahida assures him and as the weeks go by, he found the courage to come home.

He lands home. He is changed from the 4-year journey he took outside Inazuma.

Ei greets him with hugs, kisses & tears. Miko is in the background with a barely noticeable relieved smile.

He continues his fresh start, secretly vowing to be better.

Scaramona/Wandermona Royalty AU - Mona's Story

Scaramona/Wandermona Royalty AU where... Scaramouche or Kuni never parted with Ei in his younger years and is the prince of Inazuma. Mona was adopted into the royal family of Khaenriah thus making her a princess and becoming Kaeya's adopted sister.

Mona's biological mom is from Mondstadt and her dad is from Fontaine.

She lived in Mondstadt until her parents died.

The queen of Khaenriah was apparently friends with her mother, and, out of pity, she decided to adopt her into the royal family.

Her adoption meant becoming a princess of Khaenriah and being the adopted sister of Kaeya who is the crown prince of the nation.

Mona is grateful and on good terms with the royal family and they were accepting of her.

Kaeya treats her as a little sister.

During her years of being a princess (she was adopted when she was a kid), she meets a boy whose mother is connected to the queen.

She ends up becoming close to the boy (Albedo) despite their interests being not the same.

Albedo becomes her close confidant.

One day, she meets one of the traveling witches that frequents the court of Khaenriah.

The said witch, upon seeing her, saw Mona's potential for astrology the moment she laid eyes on her.

That said, Mona was immediately offered to be her apprentice.

Persuading took a while, but the moment Mona got a "demo" of what astrology can do and about the past and future stories of the stars and constellations she loved so much? Mona was immediately sold.

And that is how she got her apprenticeship.

In Moments

A/N: Hi! I'm continuing with uploading my fanfics and headcanons over here on Tumblr from my AO3 and Twitter!

This fanfic was written before the anime came out and may contain spoilers for anime-only people and for those who haven't reached Scandal Arc yet! I only had the time to finish this after episode 3 came out.

Sequel (The Precious You): Tumblr | AO3

But he's tired. A lot of things have happened in the past week, and he still has to deal with more when he comes home. (Alternately, in which we see Aqua's thoughts until he reaches a breaking point that changes the future) (Canon divergence for chapter 105)

"Just one scandal can be a mortal wound for an idol."

He was well aware of that fact already.

Ai,  his mother in this life,  was living proof of that. And even now, he could easily recall her body growing colder by the minute as he sat beside her, feeling terribly useless for someone who was a  doctor in his past life. To say he is haunted by the memory of it was an understatement. A myriad of emotions revolving around that incident was present that Aqua couldn't easily come to terms with. He didn't feel the need to resolve these emotions even if he wished to achieve a happy ending for himself that he knew he did not deserve. He'd prefer to use it as fuel to the fire and never look back.

And trying to go back to the way it was before was nothing but a far-fetched dream.

Or Aqua thinks it should unmistakenly be.

But, a shining and honest existence from the days of being with Ai decides otherwise.

Kana Arima, the girl he met the first time he acted, brought so many things back up to the surface that he lost on that day. Her refreshingly sharp words allowed him to relax and put his guard down in more ways than others could have done. Somehow, it was the needed reality check in this world full of lies. The way she brightly shined when she was under the spotlight brought the feeling of how the warmth of the sun seeped into his skin on a peaceful day. And right at that moment, the Aqua of the past and present did not matter. He was just Aqua.

In the end, he found himself allowing his gaze to linger on her to find peace when he needed a break. After all, it wasn't like he was going to stop with his plans.

"I'm sorry, but he's already dead."

But what if there was no need for revenge, and the opportunity to finally allow himself to be happy presented itself?

"Aqua, you think it's time to break up with me."

Maybe, it was time to end the lies.

"Isn't that fine? The freedom to love is a fundamental human right."

Maybe, he could finally entertain the thought of a normal life with the person who allowed Gorou and Aqua to co-exist.

"Do you think Kana-chan will do well as an idol?"

"Then, you can no longer go on dates like that."

"Just one scandal can be a mortal wound for an idol."

He was aware of that fact already. But, for a moment, he ignored the obvious in favor of his selfishness to achieve happiness with Kana. And until now, whenever he remembers Ai, Aqua realizes he couldn't subject Kana to the same fate as his mother. So, no matter how it hurts both parties, he has to protect her by keeping his distance.

In the end, there was still another route he could take.

Living a half-truth won't be too bad. Maybe changing directions is what Gorou and Aqua really needed. If he makes enough effort, one day, the lies will become the truth. What could he possibly lose from pursuing Akane? For sure, the future on that side has a better fate than being with Kana, right? It should be because he is betting on time to make things better.

After all, everything is falling into place.

"How could a dead person know her address? It's chronologically impossible."

But, of course, everything was nothing but an illusion he willingly placed himself after from the desire to be free. It wasn't over.  It never was.

"Did I do something that makes you hate me that much?"

"You took a wrong turn, Aqua-kun."

The routes toward a happy ending were all blocked. Revenge without getting the people he cherishes involved was impossible. There wasn't any going back anymore.

Revenge was the only road he had a choice of taking alone.

---------------

"I'm sure Kana-chan became an idol for you."

Then, what was he supposed to do?

"She became an idol because you wished for it."

Stop...

"You brought her into this world, you know?"

He knew that pretty well. He was well aware of that fact. He doesn't need to hear that, especially when his mind was made up that he would only plunge further into this dark path of revenge.

"Please face her... even just a little."

He doesn't deserve her straight gaze. He decided to descend to hell. Aqua couldn't go back on his initial plans. In the first place, she shouldn't have anything to do with him anymore. It was best to stay clear of her and for him to focus on his goal.

He needs to have his revenge. He had so many things to do. He still needs to protect Ruby and make sure he covers her eyes from the things she hasn't found out yet.

He  needs  to focus.

"This is bad," Aqua heard Miyako say, snapping him out of his trance. "I still haven't seen her around yet."

"What's wrong?" He asked while all at the same time peeking at Miyako's open laptop. The words that caught his eye made his heart stop. It  felt  like a bucket of cold water was suddenly splashed onto him.

And looking at him was Miyako with a grim expression.

---------------

Aqua was now at a crossroads.

Earlier, he felt one of his fears unraveling in front of him - the one that he accidentally spilled out to Mem-cho that one night she cornered him. If he didn't notice Miyako's expression, he wouldn't be able to calm down. He would have almost forgotten what Arima Kana is made out of.

The issue hangs in the air, and the situation hasn't changed. While Aqua wants to leave the rest to adults, a part of him can't. But he promised to stay away from her. At the same time, he wanted to protect her.

So, he makes a decision.

He sits down with Ruby.

Aqua tells Ruby his grand scheme to save Kana, and he watches Ruby's eyes burn with rage at hearing his plan to reveal  their secret . Maybe, he wasn't stable enough. It could be desperation. It could be fear that they barely have enough time.

But he ends up spilling everything he kept a secret.

It was odd timing to reveal everything to Ruby given the time constraint. Those ruby-colored eyes filled with anger grew dimmer and dimmer with confusion. Somehow, it broke his heart, not knowing what to do for her.

The clock is ticking. Aqua rises up from his seat.

"I have to go. Let's talk about it again when I get back."

He leaves the house with Ruby sitting down in shock while trying to process all the information he dumped on her.

---------------

Aqua has done it.

Soon, the secret will be out. Aqua only has to wait for the Weekly Entertainment True Story's release date. A part of him rejoices, knowing this new path can lead to a better plan for revenge.

But he's tired.

A lot of things have happened in the past week, and he still has to deal with more when he comes home. He left Ruby hanging as he rushed towards the meeting place with the reporter. There's still so much left to do after that even.

He only wants to rest .

Kana's bright smile flashed in his mind out of nowhere, and the sudden thought of basking around the sun's warm presence made his tired mind let go of all the thinking. Even Goro and little Aqua's voices were drowned.

It wasn't long before his knees gave out on him, and a choked sob escaped his lips. The hand that was holding onto their house's doorknob released its hold to bring itself to his mouth in an attempt to stop himself from making any noise. The tears started to flow, and he could only shut his blue eyes closed as emotions rushed through his body.

He was so, so tired.

And, in those moments of vulnerability, he just wanted to see the brightest star that he protected.

A Question

A/N: Hi! I'm continuing with uploading my fanfics and headcanons over here on Tumblr from my AO3 and Twitter.

This fanfic was written before the anime came out and may contain spoilers for anime-only people and for those who haven't reached Private Arc yet! Tokyo Blade arc is also lightly mentioned.

Fanfic Links: AO3

Other Links: Oshi No Ko Masterlist

Arima Kana is an honest girl. Or rather, sometimes, she couldn't stop herself from saying certain things before they came out of her mouth. (Alternately, Kana ends up asking a question that has been troubling her since their first run of Tokyo Blade)

Arima Kana is an honest girl.

Or rather, sometimes, she couldn't stop herself from saying  certain  things before they came out of her mouth. That would be a more accurate description given how the meanest words can spill from her lips despite meaning the opposite. Still, it wasn't a surprise she was bound to ask a question to Hoshino Aqua that has been intriguing her ever since the first day of the Tokyo Blade adaptation.

Kana discreetly stole glances at the said actor who was conversing with Akane. Even until now, the reality show co-stars were inseparable as if they were still in rehearsals. (And if she felt tiny pinpricks in her heart at the sight of them, she was determined not to show it.)

Is she affected by their distance?

Maybe, but that wasn't the reason why she kept on trying to catch Aqua with her eyes. She was more concerned with his emotional acting back then. It was great as she would have expected from Aqua, but the way he looked like he was in so much pain? There was something she couldn't quite place. She could be overreading it or not.

She just wasn't sure about it.

-------------------------------------------

"Is there something wrong?"

Aqua stared at her with an unreadable expression for god knows how long. She was pretty sure she asked that in the most Arima Kana fashion kind of tone. So, why is he looking at her like that?

Could it be she took his acting too literally and blurred the lines between lies and reality?  The thought almost made her shiver. That would be dangerous -  too dangerous . It's best if she tells him to be careful with that because he can never know what could happen if he continues with it.

"Arima?" He called out to her again.

Was she staring too much? Was it a good time to talk about it now?  The child actress suddenly felt conscious about approaching the topic. Maybe it was better to ignore it? After all, Aqua changed after  that time  the cast went drinking. She could pretend as if her gaze happened to fall on him, and that would easily allow her to escape his questioning gaze.

"You've been staring at me too often the past few days." He added when she didn't respond seemingly stuck in her little world.

Kana blushed. There was no way around it, given how sharp the teenager can be. "I was thinking..."

"What?"

"When you were acting on the first day of the stage play, you seemed like you were in pain," she explained as her eyes met his. Instincts kicked in as soon as she saw his eyes slightly widen in surprise, and what left her mouth were words she couldn't control. "Of course, as your senpai, I have to look out for you too! And, to think that we're in the same agency? What kind of person would I be if I didn't?!"

While her laugh made it seem like she cared very little, Kana screamed inside and questioned her actions that started this conversation. The (nervous) laughter did fade out when she finally noticed Aqua wordlessly staring at her. It was still unreadable, but it was killing her.

She could school her expression and say the opposite of what she was feeling, but her concern for him was something she won't be able to control.

Then, he averted his gaze from her and stared at the distance. The breath she was unknowingly holding escaped her, and she tried to follow to where he was focused. There was nothing. So, she went back to looking at him.

The usually guarded and cold Aqua was transparent for a quick second. It was short, but Kana could easily commit to memory this sight - his blue eyes warm in contemplation, and his body seemingly relaxed and relieved from tension. This moment was rare itself, and, at that moment, she had so much to say.

What's wrong? What happened? Why did you look so wretched and in so much pain before? Why are you struggling? If you don't want to talk about it, it's alright. I'll be here when you're ready.

Time continued after a long emotional second for her, and he turned his attention back with a small smile. "I'll tell you next time."

And, Kana would hold onto his words on that one.

A Domestic AU with a bit of Vampire AU where Senku comes home to see Kohaku having problems. SenHaku Week 2021 Day 7: Hormones

It would be an understatement to say Senku was happy.

He was ecstatic.

His day was going well so far. There was less traffic going to work today. Their science project was successful, and they finished it before the expected date. He even got an email saying his astronaut candidate application was accepted!

The scientist was definitely in a good mood. All he had to do to complete his day was go home to his girlfriend and have a toast with her. It sounded like he was possessed, but a fine day like this was so rare in his life of 3,715 years.

As he entered the shared apartment, he was expecting to be greeted by Kohaku. There was no sign of her, however. She would usually come running and smiling at him. It was like a daily routine since she always comes home earlier than him. No matter how late it was, she was there without fail.

"Kohaku?" Senku called out.

There was only silence.

The scientist hastily took off his shoes and headed straight to their bedroom. When he opened the door, he caught the faint scent of blood. He frowned once he realized what was going on.

Kohaku was all bundled up on the bed. She wasn't sleeping, but her eyes were closed. She looked so uncomfortable that Senku's previous happiness immediately turned into worry. As he took a seat beside her, the mattress shifted beneath them. She opened her eyes and turned to him.

She weakly smiled at him. "Senku."

"Lioness, I'm home." He helped her sit up then kissed her on the forehead with tenderness. "Can you manage?"

"Ha! I'm not totally-"

Senku watched her curl up in pain as he inserted a finger in his ears. "Uhuh. Sure. It's normal for cramps to be that bad. Have you taken painkillers?"

"I wanted to tough it out."

"I don't think you're ten billion percent successful so far."

"Watch me! I'll be moving like it's nothing!" She groaned. "Just give me five minutes."

"How about I get you cranberry juice and cook while you rest up? " He suggested. Without even waiting for an answer, he patted her back and headed to the kitchen.

He could feel Kohaku keeping an eye on him from the bedroom. Senku knew she wasn't used to him showing emotions. It was so rare for that to happen. He always talked about how emotions were illogical, but he did have his moments.

After living for 3,715 years, he's been through so much as an immortal. There were points in his life he put his emotions in the backseat for logic. It allowed him to excel in the field of science more than he expected.

Kohaku was an unexpected part of his life.

She developed a crush on him, and he shot her down quickly. They remained as friends, but things still changed. He slowly grew to like her. At first, he blamed it on his hormones. He would have stuck to that.

But, he couldn't ignore the fact that vampires react strongly to the blood of their soulmates.

"Weird." He could hear Kohaku whisper before the sheets rustled in the bedroom. Senku chuckled.

Things really do change.

An AU where Kohaku is a cupid who is trying to shoot Senku with a love arrow. SenHaku Week 2021 Day 6: Valentine's Day

February has always been the busiest month for cramming cupids.

As angels of love, cupids had a long list of people to match. They had to make sure those people got together on or before Valentine's Day. If they were unsuccessful, another cupid would have to try again next year on that couple.

Kohaku was an excellent cupid. She was able to complete her list before February came every year. Her expert marksmanship allowed her to move on from one case to another without any problems. It's the reason why she could take breaks before the next list came.

She wouldn't have a break for this year though.

Two months ago, she started working on her last case. The final 'couple' on her list was a scientist named Senku Ishigami and a medical student called Luna Wright. The cupid thought they would look great together. So, she cast a love spell to her arrow and shot it straight to Luna's heart during a science expo. The American instantly became head over heels for him.

However, Kohaku's only mistake was to disguise herself as a mortal.

Senku spotted her before she could shoot another arrow. She kept her presence low, but he still felt her there. She couldn't risk being discovered in public back then. So, the angel pretended that she attended the expo to see him as a fan. It came as a surprise that the scientist didn't believe her and knew she was a cupid.

She later discovered his stepmother was an angel.

Despite being discovered, Kohaku didn't stop trying to accomplish her duties. She tried following him inconspicuously. Senku kept on finding her and made it impossible to shoot him. At some point, she was so frustrated that she pursued him openly.

It didn't make any difference. At. All.

Tomorrow was Valentine's day already. It was her last attempt. She had to do it before the 15th.

However, Senku had a different plan. The scientist asked her if she was busy. And, she was.

She was going to be busy trying to shoot a love arrow to his heart after so many failed attempts.

As if she would say that. So, the cupid denied her true intentions, and he decided to drop a horrible suggestion. He invited her to a date. Her! A cupid! The same one who was trying to get him together with the pretty American since day one!

"What am I going to do, Ruri?" Kohaku asked her older sister after sharing her current problem.

"That is a problem," Ruri stated while she patted the other girl's hair. "Do you like him?"

"Ye-. No. No! No way!" Kohaku quickly looked up to meet Ruri's gaze.

A gleam of mischief flashed in the older one's eyes. "Hmmm? I don't think there's a problem with that. Why not go on a date with him?"

"Ruri, it's not a date! I'm a cupid. I'm supposed to be doing the opposite thing!" The younger one huffed. "It's also unfair that Luna would be waiting for him for a long time. I don't want to do that to her."

"My dearest sister is so kind!"

"I'm not."

---------------------------------------------------

Kohaku ended up going.

Senku took her to a ramen restaurant. The scientist and his stepfather frequented the place that it wasn't new to her anymore. She liked the ramen there. It was the best, and she wouldn't have discovered it if it weren't for her current target.

Seriously, she was in heaven.

The ramen was so delicious that she almost forgot she was there to complete her mission. The cupid didn't even notice the expressions she was displaying while eating. It was that good.

As much as she was enjoying herself with the food, she still had to do something. She stole a glance to her right and saw that Senku was still eating. Kohaku would admit she was starting to pick up feelings for him. But, she had to push it down and shove it somewhere she wouldn't see or feel it. The window is open now to accomplish her mission. She could risk being discovered as a cupid and erase everyone's memories of her.

Right.

It was now or never.

"Hey, Kohaku," Senku said just as she was about to move. "Can cupids fall in love? Or is it impossible?"

Her eyes widened, but she quickly composed herself.

"I guess it's ten billion percent possible." He chuckled before going back to his ramen.

She looked down at her unfinished bowl. "Did you notice?"

"You're more of an open book than you expected, lioness."

A sigh. "Cupids aren't supposed to fall in love with humans. We're fickle beings."

"It's a no, huh?" He looked at her, and she could see those red eyes fill up with sadness.

"I want to, but I can't let Luna hanging." Her hands clenched under the table. "It would be selfish of me."

"Then, how does it go? How can you make someone fall out of love?" The scientist asked.

"If a cupid shoots you and another person with a love arrow meant for the two of you, the love spell on Luna will gradually fade. It takes time, but that's the only way." The angel explained.

"Hah! then it's easy," Senku smirked at her. "We just need another cupid to shoot both of us."

Kohaku's heart soared. She felt something bloom inside her, and the feelings she tried to prevent from spilling overflowed. She could hear the loud thrumming of her heart. It was too much.

It didn't help how his words gave her hope. She knew the chances were slim. It would take time for that to happen. Possibly forever even.

But, he makes it sound so easy.

He made it sound possible.

Kohaku and Senku smiled at each other. They will try to do something about their situation.

For now, they'll enjoy the day that they could claim for themselves.

---------------------------------------------------

From a few seats away, a bicolored-haired man chuckled at the scene. He was quite satisfied with the results of his emergency mission. The task was completely unexpected, yet everything turned out well. He had to admit he thought he was going to be discovered by the two. Not that it matters anymore.

The cupid got up from his seat and paid for his ramen. Just as he passed the duo, he smiled. He continued walking and, for the last time, Gen paused to take a final look at them through the glass doors of the restaurant.

"Happy Valentine's Day, you two."
