TARTAGLIA — 公子

when did he realise he wants to marry you?

ajax realised when you came over to see his family for the second time. the way his siblings rushed over to greet you, each of them stumbling around because they want to be the first one to hug you, your bright yet gentle smile as you squeezed each of them tightly and peppered their faces with kisses — it all sent the most electrifying butterflies to his stomach. seeing the way you handle his energetic siblings and the way his parents have clearly welcomed you in as part of the family, it really made him think “i want to be with you forever.”

did he nearly reveal his plans by accident?

he’s a fearsome fatui harbinger, do you really think something as special and important like this will easily slip out? yes, absolutely. he cannot for the love of the tsaritsa herself shut the fuck up. he’s obviously already talked to your family and some friends of yours he knew he could trust but at this point everyone practically knows his plan with how much he’s been talking about you. honestly, speaking to yours and his family was his first step — he just wanted to make sure he had their blessings!! (as cliche as that sounds). with how overly-nice and generous people have been to you, you were starting to garner suspicions however tartaglia always has his special ways of distracting you~

꒰ TARTAGLIA’S PROPOSAL ꒱

you’ve just finished a lovely dinner with tartaglia’s family, his siblings were surrounding you two near a fireplace, the snezhnayan winter was being extremely unforgiving that particular evening with snow pouring down onto the ground, creating a massive winter wonderland. “did you know, [name] took me around liyue harbour again!!” teucer jumped onto your lap holding his lil’ ruin guard ehem ‘cyclops’ plushie in his hand, his bright eyes shining with delight. “alright, alright now teucer, i’m sure ajax and [name] are very tired from their journey and don’t want you jumping around on them. why don’t we all take a nice little breather outside?“ tartaglia’s mom intervenes, gesturing to the rack of coats.

snezhnayan winters were absolutely breathtaking, despite the snow engulfing you in cold, the pure sight of the kids playing and building their cute lil’ snowmen was enough to warm you inside and out. of course ajax didn’t get the atmosphere as he decided to come up and put his cold ass hands on your cheeks. “ajax!!! you absolute bi-“ you squealed as a shiver went down your spine. honestly you couldn’t get angry at him with the way his smile and laughter made you completely forget yourself. however, that didn’t make you want revenge any less. therefore !! you decided to start a harmless snowball fight with him.

while you and tartaglia were having a not-so friendly snowball fight, tonia finds a way to sneak up behind you and tug on your coat for attention and so, being the sweet person you are, you looked down at her… which ended up with you getting hit in the face with a snowball and ajax laughing it off by giving you small kisses. “sorry [name], uhm i just wanted to show you our snowmen! we just finished (｡･ω･｡)” she smiled up at you. god you felt your heart absolutely explode that snowball meaning absolutely nothing to you at that moment. taking her hand into yours she leads you to the place her and her siblings built the snowmen.

and who would’ve thought the little angels built the snowmen to resemble you and ajax <3 they had a small pebble heart around it with some local snezhnayan flowers scattered about and … some carving in the snow which read “turn around :)” as you did, your eyes instantly brimmed with heated tears. ajax was down on one knee, a beautiful ring imbedded with the finest jade in one hand while his other one reached out for yours.

“i love you with my entire heart and i wish to spend my entire life with you, [name], will you marry me?”

VENTI — 温迪

when did they realise they want to marry you?

better question: when did he NOT think about marrying you? it’s impossible to pinpoint just a specific moment where he thought about putting a ring on your finger. everyday he’s latched onto you like a personal heating pack whether that’s just him holding your hand, kissing you, hugging you etc he always has some part of him touching you. therefore, one of the more prominent times where he thinks of marrying you is when his heart actively yearns for you during the times you’re apart from one another. they do say “absence makes the heart grow fonder” and well venti takes that to the extreme.

did they nearly reveal their plans by accident?

venti is an ancient beloved god, he has absolutely no problem keeping his plan a secret from you! well, perhaps he can keep it from you verbally, ehem minus the few minor slip ups, he does make it quite obvious at times when he starts playing with your hands more often or stops frequenting the tavern to “focus on something more important” - his words not mine. he definitely tries his best, and to be fair he absolutely succeeds given with how loud and talkative he is you’d think he’d let it out eventually however, he wants this to be a complete surprise :)

꒰ VENTI’S PROPOSAL ꒱

the unfortunate ending of the weinlesefest was drawing nearer, yet the abundant love - platonic, familial and romantic - was filling the air with a sweetened fragrance. or perhaps that was just the scent of your boyfriend who had downed a couple bottles of diluc’s finest wine earlier that day. either way, your heart was brimming with everlasting joy.

venti held your waist with one hand, while his other hand rested on the top of your head to push you ever so closely. starsnatch cliff was the perfect place to wind down at , nothing but the tender autumn breeze and the silent brushing of the grass against you while you stared up at the glowing sky. although the day seemed to be perfect, you suddenly remembered that venti looked somewhat worried all day - consistently looking nervous and pondering over things that you couldn’t quite decipher.

you gently pushed yourself off venti and he gave you a perplexed look, “what’s the matter, windblume?” you just took him by his hands and told him to take a few deep breaths and appreciate the scenery. “venven, you looked so stressed the entire day, whats been on your mind?” he took a small step back from you and averted his gaze, subconsciously starting to fiddle with his braid.

taking a final deep breath, he looks you in the eyes cups your cheek and gives you a gentle smile. “mh, guess theres nothing i can hide from you is there, my warrior?” he takes his hands into yours.

“you know that i love you more than words can describe, you’ve changed my heart and life for the better and whenever im without you it feels like i've lost a part of myself. i’ve seen your kindness and your strength, as well as your fears and sorrows. you are the love of my life, i cannot imagine a life without you. i could tell you i can’t love you more than i do now, but i know tomorrow i will even more. my heart sings a song that’s only for you to hear.”

while hot tears brim at the corners of your eyes and spill out slowly, venti gets down on one knee and reaches into one of his pockets - your free hand flew to your agape mouth in an instant. “[name], windblume, my love, my shining star, will you marry me?”

EULA — 优菈

when did she realise she wants to marry you?

probably the first time she ever allowed herself to be vulnerable next to you. eula loves equivocation so unless you’re down to become a professional literature and language analyser , understanding her true intentions is rather difficult. but! that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have her moments where she allows her façade to be broken down, she’s human after all and everyone needs support once in a while. those few times where she simply rests on your shoulder, hugs you tightly and sheds a few tears with you whispering words of comfort — those are the times eula fully cherishes her love for you.

did she nearly reveal her plans by accident?

she’s a bit of a tricky one to decipher as on one hand i’d feel like she’d become so much more hyper-aware of people and of her surroundings and she’d absolutely refuse to talk about her plans to anyone except maybe amber while on the other hand, i feel like she’d have the attitude of “if you find out, you find out and that’s that.” eula does try her best to hide her intentions and though her attempts at stopping your suspicions are futile it’s cute to see her focus on something so intently.

꒰ EULA’S PROPOSAL ꒱

blanketed by a starlit sky at brightcrown canyon’s coast, cider lake glistening brightly and mirroring yours and eula’s forms as she swayed you to the melody of your hearts - a soothing lullaby as she called it - everything was all so mesmerising.

“i didn’t know the the leader of the reconnaissance company could be so romantic.” you giggled, she shook her head proceeding to give you a harmless glare that made you laugh once again. eula dipped you down with the grace of a true efficient professional , staring into your eyes with a sort of mischievous expression.

“i’m starting to think you say these things on purpose, my dear.” she gave you a light peck on the corner of your mouth, actively avoiding your lips to tease you. “eulaaaa..” you whine pulling yourself up closer to her. she only chuckles at your complaints and pulls you back up.

“come on my love, we can’t have the dinner getting cold can we?” taking you by the hand with a complaisant and gentle smile, eula leads you to a lavish and fragrant dinner in front of cider lake. like the classic gentlewoman she is she pulls out the chair to help you get seated. despite literal years of being together, her romantic etiquette has never failed to swoon you.

“it’s rare to see you with so much ebullience, love mind telling me what’s gotten you in such a good mood?” she simply hums in response and sits down opposite you. unbeknownst to you, eula’s mind was in total frenzy and while not being a woman of many words her face currently held more emotions than a sentence could handle.

eula cleared her throat, “[name],” her gaze flickered between you and the floor before finally settling on you, “i know it must get extremely draining having to constantly deal with me, but i am thankful each day that you’ve stuck with me and loved me.” you could see a prominent blush form on the tips of her ears. “my dearest, i can’t imagine what i would be like without you, i want to be there for you when no one else can, therefore,” she finally places her hand on the table revealing a silver ring with a jewel that matched the colour of your eyes, “will you marry me?”

K. KAZUHA — 枫原万叶

when did he realise he wants to marry you?

kazuha is innately a romantic, ask him this question and he’ll laugh it off and tell you that every passing second of his was spent thinking about being with you — and while that isn’t inaccurate, he definitely recalls this one memory where he felt his entire world slow down to appreciate you. of course, he’d never tell you it though!

did he nearly reveal his plans by accident?

once or twice he may have accidentally sent you the wrong letter where he specifically mentions his plans of proposing to you (all of which were meant to be sent to his mama beidou btw) but best believe he retrieved those letters as quick as he sent them. this is such a significant part in both of your lives were the ink in your chapters begin to spill into one another, where the string of fate tightens to emphasise your bond and, more simply, were your souls become one - he needs this to be absolutely perfect.

꒰ KAZUHA’S PROPOSAL ꒱

kazuha is a man of classical romance, i mean not only does he write endless haikus for you, send you letters while he’s out on a voyage (when it’s only been like a couple hours), he is also covered in maple leaves which themselves are woven in love — therefore it wasn’t much of a surprise when he asked you out on the third date of that week.

what was a surprise on the other hand, was the place he took you. it was the same place you two had first met, a lovely area that was abundant in peaceful joy and tranquility: amakane island. the night submerged the beautiful city of inazuma in a comforting silence with only the hums of the wind echoing in your ear. kazuha led you hand-in-hand to a small picnic he had prepared earlier that day.

from where you were sat you could clearly see the gorgeous stars scattering the glowing sky like lanterns. even when presented with such a view, kazuha’s eyes were still gently fixated on you. “you are absolutely breathtaking.” your cheeks heated up in embarrassment, how could he say such things so nonchalantly AND to your face at the same time? kazuha gives you a closed eyed smile and rested his head on his palm.

“you make me complete.” he looks at you with one eye open. in an attempt to recover from your flustered state you sigh and decide to sit back and enjoy kazuha’s delicate teasing and compliments. he begins fiddling with your hair, “without you i am not whole.” you closed your eyes as his calming voice lulled you.

“dove, please marry me.”

you’ve never sat up so fast before.

YOIMIYA — 宵宫

when did she realise she wants to marry you?

much like venti it’s practically impossible to narrow down one memory with you. some reoccurring moments have always made her ponder her future with you therefore, it’s not really a realisation more so a confirmation the person she wishes to spend her days with till old has to be you. memories she recalls that definitely emphasised her love for you all include you smiling. the knowledge she makes you just as happy as you make her is enough of a reason to put a ring on your finger. :)

did she nearly reveal her plans by accident?

listen she really tried her best to be more organised and seemingly unbothered by her internal disorder, she wanted to keep her plans a complete secret from you to serve as a cute surprise however… she was almost completely sure you heard like the majority of her plans with how much she had to yell instructions and ideas to her dad. none of that dimmed her enthusiasm though! no matter if you found out about her plans, she knew the actual proposal would still leave an impact in your heart.

꒰ YOIMIYA’S PROPOSAL ꒱

“yoiyoi…pleaseee we’ve been walking for ages! can’t we go sit down or something.” yoimiya continues dragging you past the bustling city of inazuma. you really don’t understand why she was so insistent on seeing the fireworks with so many people around, but you’re weak to her puppy eyes so you couldn’t refuse.

while the city itself was crowded with joyous laughter and sweet kids running around and causing headaches for their parents - the bridge was rather empty and calm. at last you both came to a stop. you hear yoimiya giggle ahead of you, swiftly twirling around to once again drag you to the bridges barrier. “this is the best place to watch the fireworks!” well you dare not doubt her claim.

yoimiya’s cheeriness was so infectious you didn’t even notice the corners of your mouth rising as you watched your lover gaze up at the stars of teyvat with such excitement. “yoi-“ she cut you off with a surprising kiss.

“look up, the show is starting soon!” her eyes shined brighter with every word, you couldn’t help but laugh at her silliness. in a mere number of seconds the sounds of fireworks could be heard from all over inazuma, the splashes of vibrant colour painting the sky in a loud yet melodic harmony. while the show seemed normal, your eyes caught sight of some bright kanji exploding into the sky rhythmically: 異体同心 [“two bodies, same heart.”]

albeit a bit vague, your heart was pounding into your chest and echoing in your ears as something in you begged you to turn around. as you did, all your emotions freed themselves. yoimiya was down on one knee, ring in one hand with the brightest grin adorning her face. “[name], will you marry me?”

KAEYA — 凯亚

when did he realise he wants to marry you?

when you truly felt like family to him. kaeya has been through a shit ton of travesties, things that still to this day keep him lying awake in cold sweat as his headache gets more intense. multiple people have left him, whether they perished in the cold hands of death or abandoned him callously he’s seen how cruel the game of life can be. he has clung to fate and blamed it when things refused to go his way — however, oddly enough he now praises fate for giving him a chance to meet you. waking up in the morning with you evokes such a gentle feeling of completion.

did he nearly reveal his plans by accident?

absolutely not! he’s so good at keeping his mouth shut and purposefully misdirecting people, and even you on the occasion, it’s to no surprise no words of his proposal comes out. that, and, he personally didn’t put that much thought into the whole ordeal. it’s not because he doesn’t appreciate you, it’s because he wants his words to just naturally flow out, he sees more sentimental value in things that are said in the moment (probably why he drinks so often even while being with you lol).

꒰ KAEYA’S PROPOSAL ꒱

“klee! please stop running around you’ll hurt yourself!” you catch her in your arms as the crayons in her hands proceed to fall onto the hardwood floor. she simply giggled and jumped up to hug you, you couldn’t help but sigh with a smile on your face as staying mad at her sweet face was pretty much impossible.

klee plopped herself down next to the messy piles of paper and the scattered crayons, picking up some specific colours to use for later. kaeya sat on the couch, resting his head on his palm, quietly enjoying the whole fiasco. he chuckles, “told you she’s a very energetic child.” ‘energetic’ might be a tad bit of an understatement. you join kaeya on the couch, nuzzling yourself into his side comfortably.

despite the massive headache you were forming from all the running around, the atmosphere stayed rather relaxed - getting to spend time with your boyfriend as well as klee made it feel like you were a lil’ family. with the warmth from kaeya lulling you with the addition of your prior fatigue, you were feeling rather drowsy but before your head could fall onto kaeya’s shoulder klee started tugging on both yours and his clothes. “come with me pretty please! i need a uhm reference! (∩_∩)” now, who could refuse that even while in a state of sleepiness ?

you all sat around a table, kaeya directly opposite you and klee sitting in the middle with her paper that she was suspiciously hiding from you. every few seconds she switched her gaze to look at you and then kaeya while scribbling in some details. she smacked her hands onto the table excitedly, “done!! mr kaeya can i show [name] now?” she gleams up at him. he gives her a gentle nod with his eye(s?) closed.

“look [name]!” she shoves her cute drawing your way expectantly, you could practically see a sunshine and rainbow form behind her as her childish wonder blinded you (in a good way of course).

transcript: mr kaeya wants to ask you a question

the drawing itself was absolutely adorable: you and kaeya holding hands and klee looking endearingly menacing in the background was a perfect depiction of your relationship. what caught your attention was the text written above the rest of the drawing, at first it was hard to figure out (bless klee’s heart), but soon enough you managed to read it and with a grin you turned to kaeya, “what’s the question you have for me, mr kaeya?”

leaning over to you quietly, he says in his usual calm and frosty tone, “will you marry me ?”

K. AYATO — 神里绫人

when did he realise he wants to marry you?

immediately when he started absentmindedly acknowledging you as part of his family — whether that’s including you in familial outings with ayaka, or sharing embarrassing stories from childhood. he already treats you like you have the kamisato name, so why not make it official?

did he nearly reveal his plans by accident?

with how goddamn dramatic he is you’d think so however, with the aid of the entire yashiro commission (it was mostly just thoma, bless him..) he was able to keep any words of his proposal plans from spreading. he may be quiet about it while he’s planning, however when it’s all set in motion and he’s gotten your response you best believe every single person in teyvat is at least vaguely aware of your engagement.

꒰ AYATO’S PROPOSAL ꒱

ayato has been very secretive over the past few weeks, you were used to this behaviour with him working in the yashiro commission and with the shuumatsuban , but it’s like its been completely amplified. you weren’t even able to process any of these changes either since every time your suspicion grew, ayato would whisk you away for a date.

speaking of whisking you away, ayato had “randomly” decided to take you on a vacation to fontaine. to say the least, you were absolutely ecstatic!! the beautiful nation of fontaine, filled with endless waters and buoyant sea creatures seemed like a perfect contrast to the perpetually thundering inazuma and was exactly what you needed as a break.

while the journey itself was rather chaotic, arriving at your destination and taking a deep breath in of the morning air was gratifying. “ready for today, my love?” ayato gently took you by the hand, guiding you off the ship, with that phrase alone you knew you were in for a long yet fulfilling week.

and that you were — ayato planned out an entire few days worth of activities just for the two of you. most of them consisted of intimate time together which you did not mind the slightest. every day felt like a mere second, each touch and kiss felt like a fleeting moment that would disappear and before you knew it, the end of the week dawned upon you.

despite that, this absolutely wasn’t the end of the festivities as ayato had something very special planned for this particular night. after a time at the spa and some minor shopping trips, ayato had asked you to wear something formal - you obliged, albeit with a raised brow, nothing good usually comes with ayato telling you to ‘dress up’ (last time he forced you to come to a several hour private discussion within the yashiro commission..)

as soon as you finish getting ready, ayato gracefully placed a piece of silk on your eyes, “ayato what in the name of teyvat are you planning?” he simply chuckled in response and gave you a light peck on the corner of your mouth. “don’t worry, dear you’ll be fine just follow my lead.” with a nod of your head ayato proceeded to help you walk.

“honey, are we there yettt?” you groaned. the silk finally lifted and as your eyes adjusted to the sudden lights you were in utter awe, turning around to hug him in thanks, ayato finally broke his silence, “this isn’t even the best part my love.” you cock your head to the side in confusion, how is a private and secluded dinner in front of the starry sky NOT the best part?

“you already know how much i cherish you, how i would take down the sky for you, i’d gift you the stars if you asked. with this hand i vow to protect you until my dying breath, with this hand,” ayato pulls out a box from his sleeve getting the hint at what he’s about to say, salty tears begin piling up in the corner of your eyes, “i ask you to be mine, the light in my life, will you marry me?”

ZHONGLI — 钟离

when did he realise he wants to marry you?

it was quite a long process, he wanted to make sure he was worthy of you — a god accompanying a mortal throughout their entire lifespan is not only an extremely honourable thing, but it’s also a tragic circumstance. but alas when the world paused for a moment to allow him to think about both of your futures, he desperately yearned that he was still in yours. he doesn’t want to waste your time and energy, after all you only have so many years to spend with him, this is one way he could show you that he truly cares for you and loves you.

did he nearly reveal his plans by accident?

he’s old as shit and talks way too much so yeah. he didn’t necessarily try to even hide it from you, he just refrained from talking about it but occasionally it slipped past and well, he acted very nonchalant, not really seeing a massive deal in it, while you, on the other hand, were having a flustered breakdown. he does hope you forget about it so he gets to see the genuine excitement in your eyes when the time comes.

꒰ ZHONGLI’S PROPOSAL ꒱

the peak of guyun stone forest. the perfect place to reminisce on the old memories and rejoice the new ones you’ve made — which was exactly what zhongli took you here to do oddly enough. you were quite prone to his sudden outings, he’d always ask you if you’d like to join him and well you can never resist this man.

even with the chilly breeze of the mountains, with zhongli by your side you managed to find comfort in the winds flurry. “if i did anything in my life right, it was when i gave my heart to you.” god this man really choses the most random times to make your heart skip a beat. you gleam up at him with a jovial smile, leaning your head on his body to relax, he placed his hand on your waist to pull you closer.

“i love you, my dearest. the privilege of seeing you at your best and your worst, and the privilege of guiding you through those times when fate is rather cruel is something i withhold deep in my heart. the world in which we are born into intoxicates us with its glacial and vicious atmosphere, forcing us to claw at fate to beg for mercy. yet, the chest of a beloved so easily entraps you in comfort and a gentle feeling of softness in one’s heart. i wish nothing more than to be the person in your future that holds you close and shields you from the worlds most unsightly of occurrences.” at this point you were already in absolute tears, the fact he could go on such long tangents to explain his adoration for you was enough to sweep you off your feet.

“i want to be all your firsts and all your lasts, your everything until the end of time. will you—” you very abruptly say yes probably a million times over yet the archon continues, “—marry me? i promise you my beloved, no matter what things you face i will be there to aid you, i can’t promise to solve all your problems but i can certainly promise a future where you won’t ever have to go through anything on yo-“ you kissed him, putting a sweet and quick end to his long rant. was he going deaf due to old age? perhaps.

“zhongli, my beloved and my most dearest, i’ve already said yes!!”

SCARAMOUCHE — 斯卡拉姆齐

when did he realise he want to marry you?

you made him feel human, like he belonged. he felt a nonexistent heart beat a melodic tune, one that copied yours, perhaps because he knew no other rhythm or because his love for you surpassed his forged marionette. even on his road to godhood you were there, during his tragic downfall you were there; catching him in your arms, ignoring the incessant worried yells of the traveler. with months of constant nurturing and desperate tears that fled from your hopeful eyes, he was sure you’ve grown tired of him, you’d abandon him just like those before you. yet you didn’t, of course you didn’t. maybe that’s when he realised that in order to rid himself of an everlasting, dreadful reminiscence of the past, he’d have to replace those taunts with a tangible memory of your love.

did he nearly reveal his plans by accident?

he is able to keep anything from you — i mean you didn’t even find out you were ‘dating’ until one day he referred to you as his s/o and from that day forward it became your duty to positively annoy him with affection! the only person he probably turned to for help was his auntie nahida, but she wasn’t too much of help emotionally.. her words and plan definitely reassured one thing - a proposal should be surprising and heartfelt.

꒰ SCARA’S PROPOSAL ꒱

a glistening divine light beamed from the statue of the seven, illuminating scara’s anxious and pensive expression. “feeling alright, honey?” you touch his cheek, his eyes darting to yours in an instant. scara let out a discomforted sigh, “yes, i’m fine, let’s go.” he abruptly intertwines your hands together and leads you towards the verdant flowery path of vanarana.

while you were rather suspicious on the lack of aranara idling about, you were much more concentrated on enjoying this once in a lifetime moment — scaramouche taking the initiative and preparing a date. well, that IS what he called it, but you weren’t sure whether he was planning to bury you with the padisarahs or coddle you, because the distance you were walking was oddly alarming. ‘surely we must’ve passed many great spots by now..’ , yet kept your tight hold on his hand - having trust in him.

making a subconscious effort to avoid the pond of mossy water, you squeeze yourself closer to scara, he can only smile to himself. your eyes trailed along the bright flowers that sprouted from each patch of grass , keeping a mental note on every sumeru speciality in sight (listen that shits HARD to farm ..). scaramouche’s eyes dart around so fiercely you were almost convinced he’d pass out from dizziness. you were so entranced by scara’s beauty as well as conspicuously bizarre behaviour, you didn’t even realise he had come to an abrupt stop (impromptus you bumping into him ..). you let out a contented sigh, “are we th-“ — “no. not yet.” he interrupts as he nods at something afar.

after some final groans from you and begrudging steps, you had (hopefully) came to the place you were meant to — which ironically was the same place you started at. “scaramouche don’t tell me we did an entire circle around vanarana for no reason.” he shakes his head and rolls his eyes, “of course it’s not for no reason, you idiot” he murmurs.

he shifts to face you, “close your eyes.” it was best not to argue with him with questions of ‘why’. he took hold of your hand once more to guide you, albeit roughly, down to the middle of the vanarana pond. compared to the prior echoing silence, there was a lot of shuffling and some hushed giggles that were increasing in volume with every step. the water seeped into your garments but currently that was the least of your many worries…

“y-you can open your eyes now.” scara stammered, his head filling with excruciating heat - and you did so. your eyes widened in bewilderment.

“aiya, what’s goi-“

“marry me.” scara cuts in.

“SORRY-?” i mean you were going to guess that’s what was going on, considering the many aranaras gleefully surrounding you with flowers and or flower crowns in their tiny hands - as well as the not so hidden lesser lord kusanali with a ebullient smile spreading on her face - BUT YOU DIDN’T EXPECT IT SO SUDDENLY?

your silence was feeding scara’s fears, and so he does what he always does: gets grumpy. “are you going to keep staring at me while flies go in your mouth or are you going to answer me.” cue you pouncing on him with the most joyous laughter and tears, the melody of your happiness made him subtly smile.

“i love you so much.” you tightly hug his frail form, his head drops down to your shoulder so his answer muffles, “i…love you too.”

past his unsavoury words was a heart that beat for you, and only you.

♪♪—I WANT YOUR LOVE AND ALL YOUR LOVERS REVENGE—PUNK AU X OTHER —♪♪

Notes: Punk Au go crazy, the other is all the other oc’s love intrests or sigifacant others, i tried to make this like a dating sim, tried to fit everyone here, can you tell i like suimuki and kai yet, i fucking hate jin so mych, flirting, cringe, strong language, stupid friend stuff, chaos, lose writing style, no conherant plot, partying, clubs, drinking, mentions towards drugs, elmental powers, gun and weapon use, blood, murder, tiny hints towards gore.

Jin looked towards the rather large group infront of her and smiled.

“Hey there! Your the people visting from the surface level, yes?” She cheerfully asked.

The person who was leading the group, Astro, nodded. She placed one of her hands on her hip and tilted her head slightly.

“Yes, they are. I’m just helping them around.” She answered.

Jin’s aura radiated happiness and flowers. In fact, small imaginary flowers floated around her, everyone could see them though.

“Woah..how is she doing that?” Warren mummbled, curious.

“Ahaha! Well, I might aswell introduce myself! Jin, Jin Lumine! And my unit or branch as it were is the interogater unit! We specialize in…getting answers out of people, as it were. Anyways, we basically gather hand held information and relay it back here. As for me, I’m a illusionary mage as well as a dark mage! Cool, right?!~” They explained before smiling with their eyes closed.

Astro sighed while shaking her head slightly.

“Please calm down…you don’t wanna scare any of them, do you? Do I have to remind you of the one time where you accidentally made a illusion of the guy’s head on a pitch fork?” She said, slightly scolding them.

The white-nette’s demenor changed and she sweated. One of her hands that was up in the air twitched slightly.

“N-no!! I remeber! Now uhm, if you guys wanna’ go check out the rest of my darling members of this unit then be my guest! ♡︎~” She sang nervously, making a dissmissel motion with her hand.

The golden eyed leader scoffed-laughed for a second before turning towards the rest of silent members. She smiled slightly before making a follow motion.

The group walked over to a red haired girl with small brown streaks throughout it.

“Hey, Elizebeth!” The other said, watching as the shorter girl turned towards them.

“Oh, Astro..and…people?..” She said, smiling akwardly.

“Wait a second..why is she fine?!” A male, slightly young with black hair whispered towards a simlair looking male.

“I know, right?” The other one whispered back.

The yellow eyed group representive paled and sweat-dropped before laughing akwardly.

“Right!! Well, uhm, these are the people from the surface, some new recruits too!” She distracted the brunette.

Her mouth twisted into a ‘o’ and her eyes went slightly wide. She nodded slightly before facing the pack of people.

“Oh, surface dwellers?? How darling! I’ve actually always wanted to go up to the surface, y’know see it for myself..but alas, us commoners are stuck down here..” She said, scratching the back of her head slightly.

The crowd was silent for a second. Some of them frowned at this while some were curious.

“So you were born down here?” Sora asked, blinking.

The shorter girl scoffed slightly before crossing her arms to her chest. Some noticed that they were dirty and covered in bandages.

“Of course I was. Almost everyone was born down here. Once your down here, you rarely ever get up to the surface. One of the only ways is to get dragged to the Arcane Academy. And that’s ONLY if you get catched using magic while your a bottom feeder. If you don’t have magic your basically abadoned.” She explained, eyeing them weridly.

Once again, silence covered the area as the taller girl cleared her throat.

“Well, why don’t you introduce yourself and what your role is, hm?” They asked.

Elizebeth sighed before changing her posture again.

“My name is Elizebeth Chasitan. And my ‘role’ in this unit is to basically kidnap people.” She blandly said.

A few people in the crowd reeled back with horifed expressions, making her laugh.

“Haha! Oh come on, don’t look at me like that! Should I have said it in different context?” She laughed before asking, mainly to Astro.

“Maybe you should have…don’t be scared, guys. It’s just a way of sucuring people who refuse to give us information.” She comforted.

“Ahem..someone loves to use fancy words..” The ladder coughed into her hand before smiling innocently.

The long haired girl erked at this before sighing frustradely.

“Come on, guys. Let’s go meet someone else who isn’t this brat here.”

Elizebeth mocked offense to this, taking a cowering posture.

“Oh, your so crude to me! Can one of you comfort a poor girl?!” She whined before whipping towards the others with her hands in fists but infront of her like a child.

Sora smiled and talked while moving her hands around slightly.

“Well, if it makes you feel any better, I think your cute.” She said, chuckling at the end.

This changed the other girls mood drastically as she turned red. Her eyes went wide and she resisted the urge to smile.

“Cute?? Uhm..thank..you..?” She slowly said, trying not to show her flustered state.

The blue haired girl smiled before welcoming her.

The middle child of the Adachi’s coughed before breaking it up.

“Well, come then.” She said, thanking the red eyed girl for her time before leaving with the crowd.

The crowd moved to another person. This said person had dark navy hair with hints of purple throughout it. She also had dark red eyes.

“Hey, Mars.” They greeted, attiude switching to formal.

She finished taking a swig of whatever was in her flask and blinked boredly at the former.

She was tall, and pretty. Almost everyone in the crowd was allured to her, weither they liked it or not.

“Hey, these the surface people you were on about?” She questioned, setting down the bottle.

Astro blinked at the informalness before ‘oh’-ing. She was noticeabley slouched and her face was more pigmanted then usual.

She was drunk.

Or atleast, tispy.

“Yep, yep! This is them!” They grinned and imaginary stars floated at the tips of their fingers.

“Wait a second..I think I know you! Your-!” Killian was cut off by her sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose.

“Mars Damershera, hi, yeah, that’s me.” She said, waving sarcastically.

“Wait, your family is of high status, what are you doing down here?” A different blonde haired male asked.

She clapped sarcastically before flodding her hands together. Her expression was still deadpanned.

“Oh, look whose smart. The reason I’m down here is because I need to get the fuck away from that shit. I’m assuming almost each one of you atleast has money at their fingertips so..” She lamented, postured now back.

A particular brown haired male tilted his head side ways and stuided her. Yeah, he had heard of her before. Who hadn’t? Though, he didn’t expect her to be like this.

“You know, for someone like you I thought you would be more formal.” He pointed out.

The white haired girl winced at this while others nervously laughed or looked away. Meanwhile, Mars dug her hands into one of her hips.

“Yeah? Come on, I don’t always have to be stuck up like the rest of you.” She hissed, deeply frowning.

The almost same heighted girl made a face before smiling nervously with her eyes closed. She waved her hands around in a dissmissal gesture.

“Ah,ah,ah! Come on guys, don’t be so rough on Mars.” She said, directed at the group of people behind her.

A few of them muttered apologies as some of them simply stared.

The dark skinned girl combed a hand through her hair while grasping the flask. She took another whig of it and wipped her mouth off with her sleeve.

“Well? Are we done here?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.

The younger woman’s smile faltered for a second before thanking her. They, then, turned to the group and noticed how they were shaken up.

“Oh, are you scared? Don’t be. Mars can be sort of standofish if you say the wrong thing. C’mon, next person!” They asked before placing a hand on their hip.

The gathering of people moved to the next person, this was actually the second to last person of the unit. He had blonde hair that was in a low ponytail and he turned to the group before his eyes sparkled.

“Hey, Star! Your the new people, am I right?” He asked, leaning forward slightly.

“Yeah, hey Aether. These are the vistors!” She said, smiling but messing with her hair slightly.

Some of the people eyed the two suspiously. Why was the rather confident girl acting like that?

“Sweet! The name’s Aether if you didn’t catch it already! Also, third oldest Lumine family member. Anyways, what’s it like at the surface??” He grinned doing a lazy peace sign before asking.

The group was stunned silent for a second.

“Okay, is it just me or do they look like a idol, I mean, they act like one too!..” Ren nudged his brother.

The older male shot him a glance before foldding his arms.

“Your right, actually.” He replied, eyeing the girl infront of them.

“Well, uhm, I guess the surface is what you would expect it to be like..fancy, lots of schools, fancy stores, arcane practice at almost every turn..” Markis answered, looking away slightly before shrugging.

The short haired girl laughed at that before scracthing her head slightly.

“Yeah, expected as much. But y’know, most of us down here have ‘visions’ or gifts from the unseen ones.” She chuckled before pointing to her hip which had a anemo elemental arcane symbol attached to it.

A few of them startled at that before whipping towards Astro.

“No way!! Do you have one, Astro?!” Gensis asked, half curious half in shock.

The golden eyed girl turned to her and winked before turning back. What was that suposed to mean???!

“Course Star’s got one! Has the same elemental toooo..~” The blue eyed girl sang, blinking at them charmingly.

“Y’know, maybe that’s cause we’re soulmates..whatdaya’ think?” She added on, shamelessy flirting with them.

They laughed slightly, not as phased as the other thought they would be. The long haired one smiled with her eyes closed with a waving hand gesture in the air as they spoke.

“Yeah, maybe that’s it.” She replied smoothly.

“Jesusssssss, can you two NOT flirt infront of these poor victims?!” A girl with also short black hair and purple eyes scoffed.

The teasing pair turned toward the voice and smiled nervously.

“Heyyyy, Hira’! Got carried away, huh?” Aether asked, watching as the younger adjusted her posture so she could better hold the heavy box she was carrying.

Hiraeith rolled her eyes before cutting through them and setting the box down on a nearby stand. She dusted her bandaged hands off before turning towards them again.

“Don’t be stupid, I’m just dropping stuff off for Jin.” She hissed, crossing her hands over her hips, basically snitching them.

The crowd all observed her. She was wearing a rather light yet soft looking black short dress, and her arms were wrapped with bandages. She also had bright purple eyes and a bright purple necklace around her neck.

She noticed some of the stares and her eyes drifted over to them. Some of them whistled and looked away while some stared.

“Oh, the higher class people are already here?” She asked, sort of snipy.

Aether resisted the urge to faceplam as the other girl nervously laughed.

“Yep! Sharp as ever, Hiraeith.” She complamented before cupping her hands into a sort of praying position.

The younger girl shook her head, slightly embrassed before tilting her head to eye the in power people.

“I might aswell introduce myself while I’m here, right? Well, my name is Hiraeith Lumine, long winded, I know. If you really don’t feel like it I guess you can call me Hira’ or whatever..anyways, I’m with the traveler unit, the one’s who explore the surface sometimes and scout the area, y’know?” She explained, posture slightly tensed.

Her older brother snickered slightly before teasing shaking her a little.

“Come on Hira’! You don’t have to be so proper!” He teasingly said.

The said girl erked in response before shoving him off of her. He stumbled back before laughing more.

“How annoying.” She simply said before excusing herself.

Warren’s eyes trailed after her, curious. She seemed intresting. Either that or she wasn’t one for school interactions..

Eventually Aether had to leave because he was called for a meeting. The middle child of the Adachi family lead the crowd of surface dwellers to the last person.

“Henira, hey! Can I borow like five seconds of your time?” The leader of the group asked.

The said person was reading over something before flinching slightly when she spoke. Their eyes flicked to the formers before sighing and laughing slightly.

“Spoked the hell out of me, Adachi. Okay, sure. What do ya’ need?-!” They asked before finally noticing the rest of the group.

They immeditally tensed and smiled akwardly. Their not completly heterocromidic eyes glanced to the others golden ones.

“Surface people?? Oh great!..” She tried to sound enthusatic but it just came off as forcex.

She winced at the fakeness of her own voice before plastering on the fake smile again. Her eye twitched though.

“Am I seeing things or did their eye just twitch?” A brunette with green eyes asked, nudging the male beside them.

Elin glared at them before flicking his eyes to the said girl. It was true, their eye was vaguely twitching.

Astro coughed before making a small hand gesture towards her eye, one that only the newcomer could catch. They quickly picked up on this and just like that, their eye stopped twitching.

“Sorry for bothering, but your last member we have for this unit to meet soo..” She trailed off, shooting them a look.

They frowned at this, making a face back before resuming to the crowd.

“Right. Well, I’m Henira Redbrook, one of the MANY Redbrook family members.” She answered, waving her hands around slightly for affect.

“Wait..surely you don’t mean..” Elin started but cut off by her.

“Yep. One of the runaway ones too, I assume you’ve heard of me.” She finished for him before cockily looking towards the group.

One of them nudged a girl with long purple hair and dark skin. It was odd though, she seemed almost mystical.

“Yeah! In fact, Venus is a fan, right, Venus?” Another girl innocently blinked up at the dead girl.

The said other girl blushed violently before tugging on the other’s head slightly.

“Did you really have to say that?! I’m not a fangirl, just intrested!” They hissed, practically leering down.

Henira broke it up, laughing slightly before smiling at the spector.

“It’s nice to meet a fan-oh sorry! Someone whose intrested in me!~” The elivein girl sang, closing her eyes.

The ghost blinked at her before her expression was one of wonderment and surprise. She seemed to try to memerize everything about the girl infront of her before letting go of the shorter girls collar that she was shaking.

“Oh…” She simply replied, scowling when her friend started snickering again.

Henira didn’t reply as she talked a little more before Astro excused the crowd to check out another unit.

“Hey, Adachi. Quick question, but are we gonna meet your unit??” Sora asked, curious.

The tall girl who was now walking backwards smiled and winked at them.

“Well, that’s your guys choice! We could go to the mechainc’s divsion, which is straight up this way, the traveler unit, the plannings divsion, rogue divsion, arcane divsion, or finally, the headup divsion.” She laid out the options for all the divisons.

The people were taken aback for a second. There were that many people and divsions?? It was sort of impressive..

“Erm, how about the rogue divsion, that sounds intresting?” A girl with dark blue hair said, leaning back with her hands behind her back slightly.

No one else had anything else better, so the yellow eyed girl and turned around with a floursish and mocking slaute, with yet another wink.

“Well, ya’ guys heard em’!” She lazily said, starting to walk.

The troup of people finally arrived at the rogue divison. People were drinking, trading, and doing fist wars aganist one another.

“Where is she….Ah! Ace, over here!” The long haired girl grumbled under her breath before perking up once she spotted the person she was looking for.

The godess turned towards the mortal and blinked slowly. She side eyed the crowd of people.

“Ah, hello, Astro. Are these the surface people you wanted to introduce me too?” She asked.

They nodded and moved aside a little.

“Yes, these are the people.” They simply said.

A few of the said people were confused by their sudden change in demenor. It seemed like the moddled theirself into whatever seemed to best fit the person they were talking to.

It was kind of..sad..

“Hello there. My name is Ace Evergarden and I am the lead or head person for the rogue divison. A pleasure to meet, I’m certian.” She greeted.

Her voice had a sort of allur to it. A sparkle of a echo.

“If you don’t mind me saying, how come someone as pretty and soft looking as you is ruling over this..divsion?” Every asked, tilting her head slightly.

The brown eyed girl blinked a few more times, fluttering her eye lashes.

“Well, I am known as ‘the traveler’ if that rings any bells..” She said.

Every hummed and narrowed her orange eyes slightly.

“Ah yes, I’ve heard of that title. The one who helps townsfolk down here by scrapping money and trading stolen things from…us..” She answered, a bit of spite added to her tone.

The anemo elemental girl narrowed her own eyes in focus. Her eyes scowering over the others form for a second before turning blank.

“It’s for the betterment of our people. The ones you abdoned.” She bit back, unimpressed.

The royal infront of her look offended but Ace turned away and sighed under her breath.

“Astro, a word with you, if you would.” She orderd the white-nette who tensed before telling the group she would be back quickly.

The pair walked a good amount away before the non-mortal turned to the taller.

“If your going to bring..surface dwellers down here, you could at least bring people who aren’t araogent.” Ace said, frowning.

The golden eyed girl closed her eyes and rubbed them, slightly frustrated. She could understand both sides. Obviously, top living people weren’t fond of rogues or people like any of them down here. And they certanly didn’t like people stealing from them.

But, they had abdaoned the lower living people down here. Practically trapped them down here and didn’t give them second thought. They were forced to survive this way.

“Ace, please. None of us are extremely fond of these people, but just because there’s one person willing to voice their opinon doesn’t mean we should kick them out of here.” She sighed but reasoned.

“Your acting like that’s justifible. Look, I know most of you guys are humans, thusly, you haven’t seen the things I have. You haven’t been pushed down here the second people fond out that you were helping the poor.”

“I just want everyone down here to be safe. You should know more than anyone that’s what I want for everyone. But if that means saccrificing..anything..” She tried to justify, almost in a pledding voice.

“Violet would be sad to hear you say that.” The words slipped out of their mouth before they thought about it.

The godess looked surprised before it shifted into one of bitterment.

“Violet? Violet’s gone, Adachi. She was turned into a vampire all because…because I couldn’t fucking protect her. All because these stupid entilted losers brought her up to the surface because she had ‘promise.’” She hissed.

The human was about to apolgize but Ace ended up just waving her off and walking away.

They frowned before going back to the group and akwardly clearing their throat, no time to dwell on it.

“I’m super sorry about her..she doesn’t take well to newcomers..” They explained, not really lying.

It didn’t look like the short haired red head was in any mood and she didn’t even speak. She seemed hardly unmoveable on the topic. Oddly enough, it reminded her of Ace.

“Well- On with the tour, then!” They cheered slightly, multiple group members cheering back.

They walked over to a short haired girl. She had black hair and bright vibrant eyes.

“Celeste!” They cheered, smiling at the said girl.

She flinched on impluse before sighing under her breath slightly.

“Jeez, almost gave me a heart attack there, Star.” She light heartdly scolded her.

They apologized by clasping her hands behind their back and whistling.

“Oh, hello there. My name is Celeste Redbrook, yes, second Eldest to the name.” She said, smiling.

A few people looked horrifed but she just waved this off with a clasp of her hands.

“W-What?! The second to your name??! You know that’s the biggest honor like ever?! Just imagine the power with that!” A few of the privleged people said in horror.

The girl was silent for a few seconds before laughing softly. She tilted her head back slightly before calming down.

“Oh, oh no..my dears, that role was not for me to fill. Your current princess shall make a wonderful ruler. Trust meee!~” She explained before making a sign with her hands.

A few of them were silent at this while a few slightly protested.

“Ugh, this is just getting ridcoulus now. You have a well known fugtive and now two members of a royal family? What’s next, a immortal?” Every finally spoke, mainly towards Astro.

They merly laughed at this before mummbling something.

“You’ve already met two..” She said.

The red head blinked a few times at this before making a face. She sweat-dropped and looked away.

“Anyways, basically I plan people out. By that, I mean that I basically gain people’s trust very easily..sort of mainuplation in a way..” Celeste said, pondering slightly.

The rest of the crowd sweat-dropped and deadpanned at this. Great, a mainuplator.

“Ahaha! Please, don’t look at me like that! It’s not that I want to mainuplate people, heavens no. I just do this so we have more people to join our league.” She smiled while explaning.

The land dwellers ‘oh’-ed at this.

“But, I think that’s enough from me. You still have to meet the rest of the unit members, yes?” She asked, hands now crossed behind her back.

The white-nette group leader smiled and it seemed like flowers were flowing around her.

“Yep! Thanks for your time, darling!” She thanked the slightly older girl before walking away.

The crowd followed her and they walked to another person. They had black hair and ghostly pale skin. Their red eyes flicked over to Astro’s golden ones before they cleared their throat.

“Hey there, Remina! I know you don’t like talking but do you think you can introduce yourself?” The same heighted girl asked, tilting her head.

The said girl nervously looked away before coughing in her hand.

“Okay I guess…my name is Remina and I’m not all that intresting..just a combat trainer..” She introduced, mummbling slightly.

Half of the non-commners had to lean slightly to hear her. It wasn’t mocking, but it made her more nervous untheless.

“Oh come on, Rem! Don’t be like that. Rem’s one of our best teachers and combat personagies. Actually, a prodigy.” The yellow eyed girl frowned, slightly scolding.

A few curious pairs of eyes stuided the combat girl. She wasn’t the most scrawny, but she had a nice frame. She had freckled and moles across visble skin.

She had a rather large scar underneath her one eye and it was faded, probably old. Her rather tight fiting strap shirt that showed off..skin, in the very least.

But from the way she shyed away and blushed at attention. It was kinda hard to believe she was in the combat area.

“That’s really cool! What sorta’ combat do you teach?” A boy with ginger hair and a heavy irish accent asked.

The shy person seemed to flinch and tense at the question. They opened their mouth a few times but only jumbled words came out before they scowled slightly and spoke.

“Uhm..well-I teach hand to hand and knife and dagger combat..” They answered, immeditlly looking away afterword.

Len ‘woah’-ed before grinning.

“That’s so cool!!” He simply said.

Astro watched the two interact and watched as Remina became more and more red the more he marvled.

To be honest, it looked like the poor girl was going to explode..

The older girl smiled with her eyes closed and broke up the pair.

“Okay, Remina, we’re gonna meet the final two others! See ya’ later!~” She sang, slightly winking at her before pushing Len away and scooting away.

Len’s eyes glanced back at the others red ones and he made a quick call me gesture. She got embrassed and looked away quickly.

This made the middle child of the Adachi family pause.

“Wait a second, did you seriously slip them your number, Len?” They asked, tone not certian.

The ginger haired male merly laughed nervously while looking away as they pushed him still.

“Oh my god! You did, didn’t you?! Your such a flirt.” They sighed, shaking their head light-heartdly.

He scoffed before finally walking on his own.

“Talk about being a hypocrite, Adachi. What was that with Aether earlier?” He receprocaited the same emotion.

The other people in the large group watched as the two went back and forth.

“Jesus, they’re basically the same, just different genders..” Ren smiled, sweat-dropping.

Unfortunately, the two heard this and they both whipped towards him. He flinched as his eyes flicked in between the two.

“What?! No way!! There’s no way I’m like them/him!!” They both said at the same time.

A few people blinked and watched the comedic display.

“Break it up, you two.” A girl with main browm hair and red highlights broke up the pair.

Len blinked surprisedly at this while Astro tensed.

“Oh, look who it is. Hey, Misery…just giving a tour, y’know..” The said girl said, looking away before smiling nervously.

The newcomer raised an eyebrow at this, unimpressed. The long haired girl grumbled at this before mummbling.

“He started it..” She muttered.

The tall male heard this and erked at her annoyed.

“Hey, what was that for?!” He hissed.

“Didn’t I say both of you?” Misery asked, raising a sharp eyebrow before slightly glaring.

Both of them seal their mouths shut and made a face.

“Ermmm..excuse me, if you don’t mind me asking, who are you??” Kace asked, slightly curious.

The short haired girl made a sound of confusion before her eyes widened in understanding. She blinked slowly before quickly putting a small smile on her face.

“Oh, I’m sorry about that! My name is Misery Chastian, Elizebeth’s twin sister. I also work in this unit..” She quickly said, messing with her arm slightly.

A couple people nodded in understanding.

“Uhm, as for what I do in this unit, I mainly manage our plotting. You know, what we steal, who we steal from, so on and so fourth.” She explained simply, oddly picking at the skin on her arm.

The taller girl finally spoke again, making Len eye her.

“You guys need to stop low balling yourselves! Your more important then that, you know??” She whined slightly.

Misery shot her a look while lazily having both her hands on her hips. She grazed down at the ground before looking up again.

“Oh please, like you don’t have one of the most important jobs like..ever.” She scoffed slightly.

The other girl tensed at this and her smile became slightly strained. Her eyes slightly curious.

“Your saying that like you look up to me, Misery.” She said, half and half serious and not.

Misery resisted to turn a little red at this as she leered. Honestly, could they be serious??

“Oh please, why would I look up to someone like you? We are basically complete opposites.” She rolled her red eyes as she grumbled.

The long haired girl merly smiled at this before turning back to the crowd.

“Honestly, she loves me to pieces, guys..” They whispered, lazily grinning.

Misery didn’t hear them, otherwise all hell would’ve broken lose. She crossed her arms over her chest now.

“Get that sleasy look off your face.” She said.

The taller girl merly laughed before someone broke the new conflict up.

“Misery, didn’t I send you over here to BREAK UP the conflict??” A slightly teasing voice called.

The said Chastian whipped around and looked at Reki.

“R…Reki! Sorry I was caught up in Astro’s stupidness again..” She apologized, closing one of her eyes.

Astro gasped slightly and whined at this.

“Whatttt?! Come on, Rey!’ You know you totally have a huge crush on me!!” They said, leaning towards the other two.

The brunette merly glared at them and tensed at the closeness.

“Come on now, Adachi. Don’t be so rough on our little Miseryy!~ You know she’s our newest member.” Reki scolded, still having a smile on her face.

The crimson eyed girl finally had enough and she moved through the crowd and speed walked away.

“Great! Look what you did, Astro!” The pink haired girl lightly shoved the other girl.

“Hah?! She totallyyyy left because your ass showed up!” She bit back, nudging the other.

The mostly quiet group of people watched as they shoved each other back and forth. Not too rough, just playfullness.

“I..uh hate to break up your guys fun but who are you??” Sora stumbled over their words before slightly pointing towards the dark skinned girl.

The pair of two who were still messing around paused. Reki blinked before tugging on Astro’s sleeve.

“You didn’t tell me we had guests!! Now I made a fool out of myself!” She whispered harshly, fingernails digging into the paler girls arm.

The yellow eyed girl scoffed before replying back in the same maner.

“Oh please, like you always AREN’T a fool. Plus, I told you this like a week ago!! Not my fault your so forgetful!” She hissed, frowning.

The short haired girl shot her a look and stood up straight and faced the group.

“Hey, sorry about that! My name is Reki Damershera! And I’m obviously part of the rogue divsion!~” She sang, smiling with her eyes closed.

A male with brown hair tilted his head and eyed her.

“Oh, and by the way, I have a girlfriend! So, I’m off limits, sorryyyy!~” She added on.

A few people sweat-dropped at this but understood the need for clarity.

“Oh, cool..uhm, what’s your role in this divsion?” Sora spoke again.

The amber eyed girl had one hand combing through her hair as the other was on her waist.

“Oh, just a scapegoat. I impersonate people. The shape shifter part of me, as it were.” She said, glancing away.

“A shape shifter, seriously? I’m gonna need some solid proof for that one.” Len said, skeptical.

The shorter girl looked at him and her eyes flicked around every single inch of him.

Then, she completly shifted into a complete clone of him. Ginger hair, green eyes, freckles, same outfit.

“Woah!-!” The orginal flinched in surprise before paling slightly.

A few other people in the crowd gasped at the shifter.

“Cool, right?? I’m litterally you!~” She asked, her voice now had a irish hilt to it.

A few more people made a face at the still femine voice.

“But your voice-!” Someone started but Reki cut them off.

“Yeah, sometimee my voice doesn’t shift into what I want it to…guess its on the fritz again..” She sighed slightly.

She eventually shifted back into her orginal form.

“God, that scared the shit out of me..” Len sighed under his breath.

“Ahaha! Oh, did if? Sorry, I probably should’ve warned you..” She apologized, not seeming completly sincere.

The green eyed male scooted back even more and she merly smiled at this.

“Well, I’m assuming you’ve met everyone else! Sooooo, oh, oh! You should go to the mechiancs divison, I know they’re dying to meet you guys over there!~” She suggested.

Astro sighed at this but thanked the other girl for her time before leaving the unit area with her team, as it were.

The unit leader and the group entered the mechanics divsion. Immeditlly, there was sounds of machinary and a rather large machine in the middle of the room. People hung off of it and some had their work cut out for them.

A specfic ginger haired girl glanced over before whispering towards someone who wasn’t visible.

“Captain! They’re here.!..” They whispered towards the other girl,

She nodded and carefully walked around the high around before gracefully climbing down, jumping and landing on her feet.

She dusted off her hands slightly before a nameless worker quickly walked to her and handed her a rag. She cleaned off her hands before rigging out the wet rag and turning towards them.

“Oh look at that, hey Suimuki.” Astro greeted the mechanic.

She hummed before throwing the rag somewhere towards one of her workers.

“What’s up, Adachi? You felt the need to interupt our ongoing test?”She asked them, mocking slightly.

She frowned at the short haired girl before shaking her head. She stepped a little closer, making the other seize a little.

“Remeber? I told you about the people I was inviting for a tour! The surface people??” She tried to clarrify.

At this, the mechanic immeditly made a ‘oh’ gesture as she slightly snapped her fingers.

“Ah, right. Well, might aswell greet. My name is Suimuki Lumine, head of the mechanics divsion.” She introduced herself.

A few people adimired her. She had slanted golden ringed eyes and a pretty face. Her short yet messy black hair fit well with her apperance, actually. She had a pair of goldenish yet rusted copper googles on her head.

Her outfit had a cropped shirt and then a brown see through lace shirt ontop that dropped. It had a couple stitches and pins on it. And finally, she had a patch-work skirt of different shades of brown.

“Woah, your super pretty.” Killian simply said.

Surprisingly, the girl didn’t seem that shocked by this.

“Thank you..” She thanked him.

The taller girl coughed and looked towards the leader of the unit.

“Sooo, how about you explain what you do for the rest of us common folk, hm?” She asked, grinning.

Suimuki blinked at this before pondering of what to say.

“Well, it’s mainly just me and my team coming up with ideas like inventions and things. And sometimes mechanics for people who have mobilty aids like Aether and Jin.” She said, one had crossed over so it was holding her opposite hip.

A few people nodded at this before the middle child of the Adachi’s interupted.

“And she’s in the leagues of the top three people in this whole group we have going on down here. Just if that gives perspective.” They added on, smiling with their eyes closed.

A few people eyed the other girl at this. She sighed and messed with a screw driver witch she had in her hand.

“Yeah, that’s me. So what?? It’s not like I abuse my power.” She simply replied, shrugging slightly.

They merly smiled happily at this with imaginary hearts floating around them.

“Ah Captain Lumineeeee!~ Your so dreamy!~” Another slightly high pitched toned voice cooed.

The said girl flinched at sweated while turning around slowly. The person had lighter tan skin. They also had mismatched eyes and hair. Both were one was green and one side was white.

“Ah, Iris!” The white-nette greeted, handshaking the other in a friendly manner.

They gave a dorky smile with their eyes closed and shook her hand in a secret hand code they did.

“Astrooo!~ What’s up, dude?! It’s been awhile!!” They said while laughing slightly.

Suimuki scooted away slightly and mummbled towards the group.

“Take it from me: Don’t talk to much to that new moron that showed up, trust me.” She said.

The pair who were talking slightly turned towards the crowd.

“Oh, hey! Hey, Star, are these the newbies you were talkin’ about??” They leaned or more like slouched towards the side with their hands in their pockets.

“Ah, yes! These are the people I’m giving a tour to!” She replied, slightly glancing at the short haired black-nette from the corner of her eye.

Iris grinned and quickly unwrapped some sort of candy before popping it into their mouth and smiling.

“What’s up? My names Iris Redbrook, I know, another Redbrook, shocking! But honestly, most of us didn’t take kindly to noble life..” They said, shrugging lazily.

They finally brought their attention back to the captian of the unit who was trying to scoot away.

“Ah, ah, ah! Where do you think your going?! Stay!” They whined slightly, tugging on her sleeve.

Suimuki tensed and frowned.

“I have work, you know. You do too!” She said before scolding the other slightly.

Iris erked at this before sighing.

“Fine, fine. Go wonder off with someone or something.” They said, waving slightly.

Suimuki hapily accepted and left the area. She crawled back up onto the large machine that was still being worked on and conversed with a namelesss worker.

“Woah, you actually let her go for once, surprsing…” Astro said, slightly teasing.

They rolled their eyes at this before turning towards the quiet group. Their eyes noticed something odd, they were missing a memeber. There was a tall male with heterocromidic eyes there before but now he wasn’t.

“Uhm, Astro? I think your missing someone..” They said, confused.

The said girl flinched and looked around in the crowd, doing a rough head count before flinching back.

“What the-WHERES KILLIAN?!!”

“Oh, hello! I was looking for you.” The said male said towards the working girl.

The golden eyed girl confusingly looked towards him. His dark hair seemed messy yet soft, and his eyes showed curiousty.

“Looking for me? Why?” She questioned.

He smiled and stepped a little closer, his eyes watchdd as she tinkered with a hatch and opened it.

“I don’t know really. Your just very pretty and seemed really intresting.” He bluntly said.

She blushed slightly violently and turned her head away. Meanwhile, he only laughed at this and held his hands behind his back.

“Ah, your a cute one!~” He said, holding a hand to his face to cup his cheek.

“You-Cut it out!! Look, I don’t know who you are!” She said, embrassed.

The male’s smile faltered slightly at that before mummbling a response.

“Ah, your right…I guess you wouldn’t know who I am..” He said.

Killian, then, smiled and introduced himself.

“Right! Well, then, my name is Killian. Now you know me, right?” He asked, after introducing.

The short haired girl blushed slightly, taken aback. But then she grumbled under her breath before nodding.

“Yeah, whatever. I guess I know your name now..” She adimitted, annoyed.

The dark haired male smiled and watched as she dug through one of her pockets amd started tinkering with the mechanics of the open hatch.

“If I may ask, what is this entire machine?” He asked.

She paused her movements and sighed deeply. Her head turned towards him even though her eyes focused on a spefic spot of work.

“Curious, aren’t you? Well, this bad boy is our light source. Of course, it doesn’t work completly yet. But it’s a work in progress. When we finish, it should be able to power mainly any source of light or energy in the underground.” She explained.

Killian hummed, fasaniated.

“And, may I ask why, as you would put so much time and effort into something?” He asked yet another question.

This made the mechinac stop working completly. Her face twisted into a painful expression before ahe switched it to a straight line.

“Of course you wouldn’t understand that part of it. Your from the surface and know no-hardship. We do this to survive down here. Trust me, my motovations for surviving are purly selfish but..if it means I can protect the others and help then…it’s all worth it.” She spat out, slightly narrowing her eyes at him.

The heterocromidic boy’s eyes were slightly widened. That was her motovation?? It seemed almost sefless to him..

Untheless, he kept asking questions and aganist her will, she kept answering. The questions weren’t too insaive for her and she almost found herself smiling at the male from time to time.

Of course, the boy had a slight habit of flirting with her. Weither that be through half-lidded eyes or just winking slightly

Suimuki wasn’t used to be flirted with, no matter how many suitors she had. People down here liked her, sure. But they never went out of their way to vist her.

“Oh! Here’s another one! Do you know the meaning of your name in Latin?” Killian asked, leaning forward.

She was about to answer no but someone cut her off.

“Jesus, there you are!! Why in the seven hells did you wonder off?!” Astro showed up and shook the tall male down by his collar.

Killian grunted slightly while making a surrender gesture.

“Sorry, sorry! I was just curious about Suimuki here is all!” He apologized.

This only erked them further as they shook him a little more roughly.

“And you had the balls to interupt Suimuki’s work?! Oh your lucky if I don’t-!” They started but they were cut of by the working girl.

“Astro, it’s fine. He didn’t do anything..too untoward and he was just asking me questions..” She covered for him.

Astro blinked a few times, eyes glancing towards her and the male.

“Oh…okay then…still! Don’t wonder off again! We still have a couple people to meet!” She still scolded.

And with that, she dragged the heterocromidic male away. He whined slightly and lazily waved bye at the leader of the unit.

She paused slightly before slowly waving aswell.

Once the little troup was back together, they all wonderd a while. The mechanics divsion seemed to be one of the bigger areas.

They found another person. She had a simaliar look, to Reki. She was smoking a cigarette and pulled it out to exhale the smoke in her lungs.

“What’s up, Reko? You chainsmoker.” The bright yellow eyed girl said, making fun of the other girl.

Reko flinched and almost dropped the cigarette while turning towards Astro. Her now wide eyes settled down and she scowled slightly.

“Jesus Adachi. Scared the shit out of me.” She scoffed under her breath.

She took a long drag out of the nicotine stick before spinning around in her chair. She raised a eyebrow at the group of people.

“Oh, hey. Your the uptop people Astro said she would show around, yeah?” She asked, sort of already knowing the answer.

A girl with ginger hair in a braid nodded. At this, the vetiligo skin colored girl sighed and laid her head back in the chair rest.

“Well, I don’t speak to privleaged people. So, bye-bye!” She spat out before smiling sarcastically and making a dissmsel gesture.

The leader of the group frowned at this and stepped closer to her. Smoke covered the air around the girl and they made a face.

“Oh come on, Reko! Can’t you atleast explain what you do here?” They asked, slightly depreate.

To be honest, they were sort of tired of telling people to be nice. Honestly, couldn’t they just suck it up?! How annoying.

The pink-nette sighed quietly before eyeing the group with the corner of her eye.

“Fine, the name’s Reko Damershera and I manage stock here. Pretty boring, yeah? It’s litterally me thanking people for donating garbage that we can use to toy around with.” She said.

The white-nette sighed before adding on something.

“And she’s also a shapeshifter, like Reki.” She said.

The amber eyed girls expression changed the mention of her twin’s name. She mummbled something before asking a question.

“Speaking of her, how is Reki? Did you meet her yet?” She asked.

They smiled at this and hearts floated around them.

“Awwww! You care about your twin sister alot, huh? Of course she’s fine! The same as always, and yes we already met her, your actually the last Damershera we have.” They cooed slightly before answering the question.

The ladder only turned the chair away and coughed into her hand akwardly.

“Well then, I think we’re done here.” She annouced before falling completly silent.

Astro thanked her for her time before turning towards the group. A spefic male with middle-ish black hair and red eyes looked at her in intrest.

“Jesus, Saren. Stop looking at the poor girl like your gonna’ yet her whole.” His brother stepped on his foot, snapping him out of it.

“I am not looking at her like that! I’m just curious..” He defended while glancing at her again.

His brother shot him a look and he was about to ask what that look was for but Astro was already leading the group away.

Two girls were coversing back and forth. One had red eyes and long black slightly curly hair while the other had long brown straight hair and light blue eyes.

“Oh? You think you can make them more embrassed then I can?? C’mon now, Mara.” The black haired girl shook her head mockingly.

The brown haired girl scoffed, clicking her tongue slightly.

“Someone needs to knock you down from that pedestol you put yourself on.” She said.

The tall leader of the surface group smiled and broke the two up.

“Okay love birds! What’s the topic of today’s daily agruement?” She asked, innocently blinking at the two.

Both of them paused slightly before brighteneing.

“Aiya, hey star!!” Both of them greeted, grinning.

The middle child of the Adachi family smiled in return. She seemed more friendly with these new people. Not that she wasn’t always like that, but she seemed a little more relaxed arounf these new people.

“What’s up, Mara, Rin?” She asked, chuckling at the end slightly.

Mara eyed the crimson eyed other and placed both of her hands on her hips.

“Just Rin trying to start a bet or fight again. Someone needs to put her in for a gambling addiction.” She sighed deeply while pinching the bridge of her nose.

The other girl frowned at this and looked at the yellow eyed girl.

“See?! She’s trying to make me look bad!!” Rin complained at them while death glaring the bruentte.

The crowd watch as they traded some insults back in fourth. It was almost comedic.

“Guys…” The white-nette said, sorta quietly.

The two paused and shot each other a look before sighing.

“Sorry, we should introduce ourselves to the crowd, right? My name is Rin, Remina’s sister.” Rin introduced themself.

“And I’m Mara Doarona! Nice to meet you!” The other smiled.

The black haired girl scoffed under her breath before rolling her eyes slightly.

“Oh, nice one. Be nice to the surface level people and suck up to them, yeah?” She sarcastically said.

Mara only childishly stuck her togue out at them and spoke again.

“Bleh! Kiss my ass. Anyways, my..’friend’ and me are the arcane inventors of the divsion. We enchante the inventions and materials as such.”She explained.

The crimson eyed other scratched her cheek before merly nodding and smiling slightly. The crowd hummed and a few of them seemed focused on Rin.

It wasn’t extremely odd for twins to be pretty different. But it seemed like Remina and them were almost complete opposites.

The golden eyed girl conversed with them a little longer before the two were called away for a inventors meeting. They left quickly, chatting loudly while they rushed to the area.

“Okay guys, that’s all of the inventors unit!~ What’s next?” They asked the crowd.

“Can we see your divsion already?! I’m curious!” A voice called out.

A good amount of people nodded at this or hummed in agreement and this caught them off-guard slightly. But then, the long haired person smiled slightly before nodding.

“Okay, well, onto the Arcane divsion then!~” Theh cheered before beging to walk.

The group entered the arcane divison area after a good walk. Not too long, though. What seemed like hundreds of books and bottles lined the walls.

“Woah, this seems like every magic users dream..” Kace marveled, eyes flicking at everything that he saw.

“I know, right? Almost everyone in this divson was blessed by the unseen one or one’s with the mark of the arcane but reading about our type of magic always helps..” The tall girl laughed slightly before walking in the divsion further.

There were spilt sections for every type of magic. Slightly intimadating people practiced dark magic, soft looking people practiced the opposite, light magic. And then, blood mages were reading and learning about something.

“Kai, Thereain! Can I borrow you two for a second?” Astro asked the pair.

The white haired male was smiling slightly as he leaned over the other as she read a book. It seemed like she was learning something and he was trying to distract her.

Both of their eyes snapped to the olders golden ones and Thereain adjusted his posture.

Meanwhile, the student shut her book and stood up from the posture she was in. She still carried the book until she passed it to a simaliar looking blood mage, mummbling something before walking to the crowd.

“Hello, Astro.” Kai greeted, red eyes flicking to the surface group behind them.

“Yeah, hey Astro.” Kai’s crush mocked her, his hands stuffed into his pockets.

The older child of the Adachi family smiled, slightly annoyed. She didn’t let it show on her face, even though it looked strained.

“Hey, you two! Teaching, I see. You two are so reliable.~” She sang slightly.

The white haired girl who also had red highlights in her hair raised a eyebrow at this.

“Oh, wow…thanks for the complament..oh!-!” She thanked before noticing the group who had eyes trained on her.

Her older sister noticed this and laughed slightly.

“Ah yes, these are the people I’m giving the tour, remeber?” She asked.

The youngers brain kicked into gear at this as they immeditally tensed up. The male beside them eyed them in curiousty.

“Ah..Ah! Yes I remeber that!..Erm..sorry, my name is Kai Adachi. A blood mage here in the arcane unit. Also the leader of this unit and a higherup..” They introduced themself.

A few people gwaked at this before someone asked a question, more towards Astro.

“An headup/ or higher up? Like Suimuki Lumine?” Ren asked, tilting his head slightly.

The yellow eyed girl turned towards him placed both of their hands on their hips before smiling.

“Yep!~ There’s only a few though, and all of them are really close friends or family so..” They explained.

Thereain nudged Kai before clearing his throat.

“Sorry, my name is Thereain, just Reain if it’s too hard for you. I’m also a teacher here for younger blood mages and alike.” He said.

They crowd observed him. He, and Kai, like all the other blood mages had white hair and red eyes. Although, his seemed more mature and deepened.

Almost, voidful..if you will..

He also seemed to be pretty comfortable with the said girl.

“Alright, thanks you two-!!” The older sister of the other girl was about to head off but running of footsteps caught her off guard.

“Kai, darlinggg!~ Sorry I’m late!~” A girl with blonde hair and pink hair tips practically swallowed the white-nette up with a hug.

The apprentince blood mage squished aganist her akwardly and she turned red. It felt like her fucking ribs were being crushed.

“Ow!! Ma..Maya!-!!” She hoarsely said while breathing shortly,

Maya quickly let go and apologized before relising the others were there. Silence covered the area in a almost humours effect before she sweat-dropped.

“Oh…hey, all of you..? Didn’t relize you were here..” She said, smiling nervously.

It seemed almost forced. And Thereain glared at the girl before scoffing under his breath.

“Uhm, heyyyy..Maya! Surprising to see you here!..” The leader of the surface group said.

The blue eyed girl greeted the other back before blinking at the crowd.

“Oh, hey there! You must be the people from uptop, yeah? What’s it like up there?!” She eagerly asked, eyes shining.

A handful of people from the crowd laughed slightly. Mainly Sora, who out of premis stepped forward.

“Well, almost as you would expect it. You know, factories, many schools and colleges for magic, good food, shops..” She explained, waving her hand in the air as she talked.

The new girl nodded her head as she listened. Once Sora finished she hummed.

“Huh..intresting! I’ve always wanted to go up there! I mean, I’ve been up there a few times for..bussiness related things!~” She said, having a hand to her cheek.

“Oh! On the topic of bussiness, besides Kai, what brings you over here?” Astro asked.

The slightly shorter girl fluttered her eyelashes a few times before getting a light-bulb over her head.

“Oh, well I got back from a run, uptop actually! And decided to come vist.~” Maya replied.

The yellow eyed girl hummed in understanding before snapping her fingers.

“Well, since your here, wanna’ introduce yourself?” She questioned.

Maya nodded and shut one of her eyes while holding her cheek with one of her hands.

“Hey there! The name’s Maya Mayfield, parents weren’t that creative, I know. Anyways, I’m part of the Arcane Divison! I’m a necromancer so if you need any people of the undead or just dead people in general, I’m the person to come to!~” She cheerfully said.

A couple people did a double take. Necromancey?? Wasn’t that litterally rencarnating people?!

“Sooo..you basically bring people back from the dead?..” Kacey asked, face tilted up slightly as he obeserved her.

She merly put her hands together and smiled.

“Ding ding ding! Looks like we got some smart ones here, huh? Actually, not that surprsing since your from up there, but yep!” She jokingly made a buzzer sound before laughing at the end.

“Uhm..another question, but..you seem awfully cheerful for someone who works with dead bodies..” A girl with long brown hair and green eyes asked.

The blonde laughed at this before making a dissmesial gesture with her hand.

“Oh please! I have to be cheerful, plussss!, Kai’s here so, how could I not be happy?” She asked.

The said crimson eyed girl scooted closer to her male counterpart and frowned.

“Your creeping me out, cut it out..” She muttered, sweat-dropping.

The obessive girl only turned towards at this and with a smile on her face, held her hands out.

“C’mon Kai! Gimme’ a hug!~” She said, hearts floating around her.

Kai paled and almost scruched up into Thereain.

“No way!! Go away!!” She said.

The rest merly watched the comidic display. The older male tugged his apprentince back as the other girl kept coming closer. Kai’s sister turned to their group and smiled nervously while sweat-dropping.

“Well, I think we’re done here. Thank you guys!” She thanked the other group and she lead the crowd away.

They walked away into another part of the arcane divsion. A girl with short blue hair and darker blue eyes was hunched over a table.

“Oh, Coraline! Hey..” They greeted the said girl.

The blue-nette glanced up at the white haired person. Rings of black and purple surrounded her undereyes. She was quiet for a while before replying.

���Oh, uhm..sorry..hey Astro..” She quietly said.

They frowned in concern before slightly poking the other girl with a finger.

“You good? You look tired.” They questioned.

The dark eyed girl merly propped her head up on the back of one of her hands before smiling.

“Yeah really, I’m fine. Just a rough night, y’know?” She replied.

The yellow eyed girl merly grumbled under her breath before sighing.

“Very well then..I’m giving a tour to some people..care to introduce yourself?” She shook her head before rasing a hand in question.

Coraline only softly smile tiredly and waved at the group slightly.

“Hello..my name’s Coraline Embers..I’m another Necromancer..” She introduced herself rather lazily.

Astro huffed as a few people noticed some spirtual orbs float around her. This girl seemed almost worn down from something..or maybe they were just being paranoid..

The said girls smile faltered slightly and she asked;

“Is something wrong? You seem to be staring at something..” She added.

“Oh no! Nothing’s wrong, sorry.” Killian covered for the rest of them.

She still seemed slightly unseasy now so the group leader laughed nervously.

“Well thanks for the introduction, Cora’..see ya’ later!..” She said before shooing the group after her.

“Did you see that?” Seran asked his friend.

Killian glanced at him from the corner of his hetercromidic eyes before smiling slightly.

“See what? The spirts floating around her? Defentintly not.” He sarcastically answered.

The other male scoffed at this, rolling his eyes slightly. Truth be told, maybe he shouldv’e been more freaked out, but he wasn’t.

“Alright guys, there’s a good amount of people in this unit but most them are out right now, teaching private lessons or uptop so we only have one more person down here right now, my bad..” The white-nette laughed nervously while breifly walking backwards.

The rest of the group merly nodded, some slightly comforting the girl by saying it was okay. They walked a little more to a green shaded area.

“Chun-ja! My saint, hey!~” They greeted the girl.

She had a intresting appreance. A mixture of dark black and dark brown hair mixed together. She had a slight almost olive green tint to her skin. And really pretty hazel, grayish eyes.

The girl was currently sitting down on a patch of grass that was built into the floor. You see, they were currently in the ‘Healer’ area of magic.

Chun-ja blinked before her grey eyes connected with Astro’s yellow ones. A gorgeous smile immeditlly broke out on her face and she slowly stood up.

“Hello, dear. It’s been a while, yes?” She asked, smiling.

The others mood immeditlly lifted at this as they smiled widely. The rest of the surface dwellers were taken aback by the appreance of the newcomer. Mainly, how she had a graceful value about her, that none so far had possesed.

“Yeah it has! I missed you alot!~” They answered before slouching slightly while sulking.

The soft girl infront of them laughed softly before coming a little closer. Her presence radiated one of an angel or comforting force. She smelled like warm vanilla and cotton.

“Oh, believe me, darling..I missed you too..” She said.

The middle child of the Adachi’s perked up at this before grinning.

“Yeah, course’ you did! I’m Astro after all!~” She proudly said before the ladder laughed.

“Ahaha, yes you are..” She confrimed.

This seemed to surprise them as they turned red a little before clearing their throat. She turned to the group and back to the other girl before speaking.

“Well, this is the little troup of people I’m touring around our humble abode..so please, introduce yourself!” She explained before smiling with her eyes closed softly.

The healer glanced at each person in the group, taking their mesure slightly before smiling with her eyes closed. Her hands were placed also behind her back.

“It’s nice to meet you. My name is Chun-ja Lee, a pleasure to meet all of you.” She formally said.

The long haired girl smiled before adding on.

“Oh, oh! And she’s also a vitial part of out healer unit, right?” She asked, already knowing the answer.

“Yep! I’m basically the main healer, well, besides our other one and others who are still learning!~” She answered.

It was odd. Yeah, it was true almost every healer had an almost soft beauty about them. But this one was just unatural, almost..too perfect.

“Uhm..your also very pretty, if you don’t mind my saying..” Every blutered out before cringing.

The healer turned towards her, making her flinch slightly. She quickly did an up and down of her before smiling sweetly.

“Are you serious? Thank you very much, but, your also extremely pretty.” She thanked Every before complamenting her back.

The red head turned red slightly before thanking her aswell before sighing under her breath. At least she was past the point of judging people.

“Welll, your the last person we had to meet for this unit and as much as I would love too talk more, I feel like it should just be us, for that.” The white haired leader shamelessly flirted.

A few people sighed at this but the hazel eyed girl only laughed.

“How charming. Sure, let’s meet again, Astro. I also hope to see all of you, again.” She responded, directed towards Astro and the crowd before walking back and resuming her position.

The long haired other watched her for a while before snapping out of it and turning towards the rest.

“Well, we got one more ‘full’ unit and then the headup unit, but I’m assuming by the time we are there, you’ll already know everyone in that divsion.” They said before shrugging and making a follow motion with their hand.

Once they entered the plannings divison, it was rather uneventful. The area wasn’t much, almost like a office building. It had a more indoor area were three people were slightly aruging.

“Hey, you three!~” The yellow eyed girl greeted them.

A new face, was there. She had long white hair, simaliar to Astro’s and Kai’s. She had heterocromidic eyes, one blue and one red.

“Hey, Astro.” Both Hiraeith and Henira greeted them.

Akari opened her mouth, whispering something to herself before turning around.

“Hey, Akari!~ Sorry for taking so longgg!~” They apologized but laughed slightly.

The older girl didn’t seem very impressed, as she shook her head slightly.

“Whatever, you’ve met everyone else, correct?” She asked.

They merly smiled with their eyes closed and nodded.

“Yep! Hey, while we’re on the topic of that, why don’t you introduce yourself??” They asked.

Akari seemed to stiffen at this before sighing slightly. Her eyes looked towards the group and she shuffled around a little.

“Hello, my name is Akari Adachi. I’m the leader of this divison, and the main organizer for this whole..band, of ours.” She said.

Both Henira and Hiraeith were quiet, seeming as they had already met both of them.

“Wahh, seriously?! That’s so cool!~” A girl with messy pink hair said, eyes sparkling.

The other girl merly looked away and scracthed her head akwardly at this.

“Oh, thanks..I guess..” She mummbled, slightly embrassed.

Henira laughed at this before slinging an arm around the girls shoulder. She flinched slightly before scowling.

“That’s Akari for ya’, humble as always..” They teasingly said.

The heterocromdic eyed girl only frowned at this and the quiet purple eyed girl pulled the taller off of her.

“Get off of her, moron.” She simply said.

The long haired girl stuck their tongue out at the other before rubbing the back of their head.

“Gahhh, do you have to be so rough!?” They asked.

The black-nette raised an eyebrow at this before paying attention to the group again. A spefic male with golden eyes and darkl navy hair caught her eye.

He quickly caught her eye and held it for a few seconds. When she broke it, though, he smiled.

“Hey, erm, question..are you three the only people here in this unit?” Seran asked, curious.

Hiraeith shook her head and answered.

“Nope. We have a couple others, Kai, Reko, and Mars.” She answered, running a hand through her hair.

A few people in the crowd hummed in understanding. Astro sorta half-way faced towards the said people.

“Well, we’re almost done! I mean, we only have the headup divison..which is litterally just the most important people that are here with us..” They said, laughing nervously.

Henira was now messing with the shorter girl, Hiraeith. She was making werid signs with her hands and the other frowned.

“What the fuck are you doing?..” She questioned.

The green eyed girl didn’t answer as her attention was taken away by Astro.

“Well, I think what you guys specialize in is pretty straight forward, but could you still explainnn?~” The middle child asked.

Akari glaced away for a second before speaking.

“Why not? Basically it’s just planning what we do, when we do it, where, who, stuff like that..it’s actually more tedious then some think..” She explained.

The younger sister laughed slightly before Henira’s voice cut through.

“Yeah, speaking of, why do you people have such high security?! I mean, I get one or two guards, but fifty?!” She harshly said.

The shorter girl beside her paled as she slapped her hand to the formers mouth.

“Shut it! Uhm, I- sorry about her..” She apologized.

Meanwhile, a few people in the group took slight offense to this. I mean, could you really blame them?! With these people running around, robbing every other person, it was basically paranoia!

“Sorry, I guess we’re just paranoid.” Every voiced what everyone was thinking.

It was quiet for a while until Astro laughed slightly nervously and broke up the tension.

“Okayyyy!~ Well, guys, I think we can head to the final divison now, yeah?” She eagerly asked, more so to get out of there then anything.

A few mummbles of agreement could be heard and she quickly shooed them after her. Meanwhile, Hiraeith scowled at the taller person.

“Seriously, Henira?! Did you really have to say that?!” She frustraingly asked.

The heterocromdic girl was also sorta upset.

“Yeah, really? I mean, it’s okay if you don’t like them. But you should be nicer..” She slightly scolded.

The Redbrook family member frowned deeply at this and defended herself.

“What?? All I was saying was true, I didn’t expect them to get that upset out of it.” She answered.

The other two members were suddenly quiet and they both shared a look. This startled the white-nette as she quickly asked;

“WHAT?!! STOP LOOKING AT EACH OTHER LIKE THAT!!”

“Well, here we are!~” Astro cooed as they entered a rather large room.

It had a nicer vibe then the rest of the units, not to say they weren’t cool in there own way. It had couches, chairs, and a big round table with chairs surrounding it.

There was a shabby looking chandalier hanging above it and lighting it up.

Then, they looked towards the people who were either sitting, slouching on the couch, or standing aganist something.

“Hey, guys! Time to say bye-bye!~” The long haired leader of the surface group cheered.

This caught the others attention as they all lazily got up and shurgged slightly. As for the people, there was Suimuki, Akari, Kai, Reko, Reminia and Rin, and Ace.

They all looked pretty exhuasted. Well, they were pretty much tired of working and this stupid tour all day.

“Thanks for coming to our humble abode, surface dwellers!” Rin said, smiling with her eyes closed.

Her twin sister scoffed slightly before smiling a little.

“Wow, nice one..” She said, rolling her eyes.

The inventor of the people, Suimuki Lumine, messed with a part of her hair. Then, she sighed deeply and rubbed one of her eyes.

“Thanks for coming, I guess..” She said, kinda half-assed.

The people of the group sweat-dropped, almost all of them having the same thought.

‘Could you put a little more effort into it?!’

Then, Ace regretfully stumbled forward when Akari slightly pushed her. She whipped around towards the said girl but she only raised an eyebrow.

She sweated and stoically turned towards the rest. Her face pressed into a blank expression and mouth in a straight line.

“Thank you for taking your time, to come down here, I guess..” She said before immeditlly walking away.

‘YOU GUESS?!!’ The crowd thought again.

Finally, Reko merly saulted the crowd before turning back over on the couch and flipping on her side. Suposedly sleeping..

And best for last, as one would say, both Akari and Kai stepped forward.

“Thank you all for coming down here..hopefully now you have a better understanding, but if not, maybe just a little more sympathy.” Akari saulted, before letting Kai taking center stage.

She shuffled around akwardly before sighing.

“Thank you, you didn’t have to come down here today, yet you made the active choice to..for that, I thank you. And I guess..your company would be welcome here, at least to me..” She said, looking away for most of it.

A few people in the crowd clapped slightly, while some smiled softly.

“Thank you for having us down here!” Sora, Killian, and a few others said.

Some merly nodded while some just kept smiling. It shocked, some of the down dwellers as they were taken aback by the kindness.

The yellow eyed leader turned towards the group and smiled softly.

“Well, I believe that’s it…please, let me lead you out to your distanation.” She said, making a soft follow me motion with her hand.

Once they reached the ladder that separted the down dwellers from the surface they sighed.

“Well, here we are..” They simply said.

A few people in the crowd actually were kinda upset. Even if they didn’t know the girl infront of them that well, she seemed like a geniuley nice person.

“I know this is probably out of character for me, but..thank you for letting me tour all of you…mainly none of you were rude, or aganist us, and for that I’m greatful..I hope you enjoyed the tour and..maybe you’ll come back down here again..?” They said, smiling hopefully at the end.

A few people in the crowd whined slightly at the emotional goodbye at which, Astro flinched back and laughed nervously.

“W-Hey!! Sorry, I didn’t mean to get too soft on you guys there!” They said, laughing.

“I’ll defentily come back down here again! No matter what it takes!” Someone said.

This took the white-nette by surprise as their eyes went slightly wide.

“Really??” They questioned.

“Yep!!~” A couple more people joined in.

This made them smile extremely softly with their eyes closed and they tilted their head.

..

..

.

“Thank you, truly!!”

and to my anon in the pic, no need to apologize, i don’t mind getting continuation requests at all! i enjoy writing these, so it’s really no problem for me! ♡ also, between leona and jack, i chose to write for leona~! ♪

prologue in part one!

riddle rosehearts

“i’ll have each and every one of their heads!”

whoo, watch out rsa, riddle’s coming in to lay down the law. but like, literally. he’s gonna give them a lecture about how what they did was a teensy bit illegal before using his unique magic to collar them. when is he gonna take it off, they ask..? well, he hasn’t thought that far ahead. whenever he feels like the time is right, he supposes. he won’t take complaints from them or listen to a word they say, he’s teaching them a lesson!

leona kingscholar

“those guys just haaad to come in and ruin the peace, huh?”

threatens that if they don’t hand you over, he’s gonna use his unique magic to turn rsa into a big sand castle lmao

the boys don’t believe that he can do such a thing until he gives them proof that he very well could. he turned an entire bookshelf nearby into sand, and they kinda just stood there like “oh shit”— and just like that, you were freed within a couple of seconds! while he walked you back to your dorm, you two laughed about how quick they were let you go and their scared faces.

jamil viper

“got it. alert the guys down the hall that i’m gone and ask for them to watch over kalim, will you, grim?”

probably the best guy to have rescue you. jamil is on the move right away, plus he knows what to do in a situation like this— he’s well trained and always has to be alert for kidnappings and other dangerous scenarios due to kalim being a target for them and all. he’s gotta say though, he never imagined he’d be having to save you! color him surprised.

jade leech

“fufu, chaos never seems to rest, does it?”

the most civil person in this list🏅

… though while he is civil, the rsa boys still got a bad vibe off of jade. like, they just knew something was up with him. it could’ve been his off-putting smile or that look in his eyes— or perhaps the menacing aura he has in general, i couldn’t tell you. it was pretty easy to get you freed! that being because all the boys’ got an instinct that said they would be safer if they didn’t try and put up a fight with jade, thus letting you go.

floyd leech

“i’m gonna squeeze the life outta those little princes~!”

we all know how floyd is when he’s mad, don’t we? i can only say good luck and give a thumbs up to everyone who unfortunately runs into floyd, because he is not sparing anyone from his wrath— well, except for you, of course.

upon seeing you, his murderous expression is suddenly turned to a joyful, adoring one as he cuddles up to you. you just keep petting his head and thanking him for saving you, quickly peeking over your shoulder at all the people doubled over in pain because of a squeezing from him. so interesting how he can practically turn into a different person on a dime, isn’t it?

lilia vanrouge

“well! that’s certainly one way to make the night interesting, isn’t it?”

ojichan gets you out in a snap and convinces you to go around and pull some completely harmless ✨ lighthearted ✨ fun ✨ pranks on the boys! you, wanting a quick laugh (and to get some revenge), agreed— though these pranks seem a bit more mean spirited than he led you to believe..?

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

Jungkook stumbles into his room as his hand fumbles to turn on the light switch. He doesn't have much time before the room spins around him and he feels the cool floor against his cheek, but only after it stings.

Rolling onto his back, he kicks his door closed before the rest of his frat brothers come into the room to bother him about stupid shit. He could hardly handle shit of his own.

A girl like __ would never date someone like you, Jeon Jungkook.

Unless it was to mess with you.

Jungkook rakes his fingers through his hair. What the fuck did that mean? According to Juli, the answer was just a smirk and a shrug of her shoulder. The hell? She made it seem as if you were on a different level than him. What, like you were better? At what, exactly? You both were in fraternities, but at least Jungkook was president of his. You both were academically intelligent, but at least he always made the dean's list. Suuure, you were grasping Economics better than him, but in his defense he had a long list of things to do and zero help in doing it.

But that didn't matter to you, right? Because why else would you be fucking with Taehyung? As if he was the better option... in academics, Jungkook was better. Sports? Better. Girls? Waaay better.

Like way better.  Girls left Taehyung hopeless and broken-hearted, but they left Jungkook the exact opposite. Because Taehyung was roping girls into his fake fantasies and empty promises, while Jungkook told girls exactly what to expect from him. He wasn't seeking a relationship. With the fraternity and his course work, he had no time.

Not to mention how Taehyung would send the girls he didn't want to Jungkook to become his problem. No, he didn't exactly tell them to go to Jungkook instead of him, but he'd convince them they had a bigger crush on Jungkook (because they always had a crush on them both). Shit... You think if Taehyung really liked a girl, he would let Jungkook have her so easily? Bullshit.

So who's the real bad guy?

Jungkook's stomach cramps, making him wrap an arm around it as he drags himself off the floor to lay onto his bed. The lights in his room fade from pink to purple to blue, then back the other way. He thought by concentrating on it, he could occupy his mind for a bit. It didn't work.

He blinks in defeat. This hasn't happened to him since his first year of high school, back when he was so unsure of himself, so self-pitying. Is that what he was doing now? Pitying himself? Because you chose Taehyung over him after being with him? No, he doesn't give a fuck because he gave a fuck. If you wanted nothing to do with him, then he was fine with that. He was just triggered because you planned this. You planned to mess with him in every way you could, as revenge fueled by your assumptions about him. Again, who's the real bad guy?

"Fuck," Jungkook groans. How could he have been so stupid? He honestly thought you two were on the same level. You were the only girl that could keep up with him. The only girl that he wasn't afraid would break by being with him. The only one. Fuck, this sucks.

The vibration of his phone startles him just as he is about to doze off. Picking it up, he's met with Nina's phone number. He bites down on his lip. Now there's a girl that could never keep up with him.

One, she was extremely clingy and Jungkook didn't have time to drop whatever he was doing for her. Two, she was overly sensitive. Jungkook didn't want to have to filter what he said because she took things the wrong way. Three, she was expensive... four, she was persistent... and five, she was not smart enough to take a hint. No, scratch that --- she wasn't smart enough to listen to what he was actually saying.

Jungkook could've hung up, but he didn't.

"Nina?" He clears his throat, not expecting his voice to come out so hoarse.

"Did I wake you?"

Yes.

"Not at all."

"Can I see you tomorrow?"

"Do you want to see me or come to the party?"

"Both, silly~"

"... for what?"

He hears her stutter, caught off by Jungkook's unusually bitter tone. He was being a little mean; he admits. But then again, what sets the mood better than finding out the girl you're into banged you as a joke and is actually into your best friend?

"We'll see~"

Nina's words trigger a memory, causing Jungkook's voice to get caught in his throat.

"Wish it was you, Jeon?" You had whispered into his ear. No, you had moaned it so deliciously, it sent shivers down his spine.

Jungkook, who was seated on the couch (wasted of course), had just witnessed you dancing with Yoongi. If you could even call it that. You had lazily thrown your arms around his neck and were rolling your hips against him, taking your sweet time, too.

Jungkook didn't expect himself to feel something looking at you, but he did. Especially when you turned around and pressed your ass against Yoongi, your hands over your head before they came down to feel down your body and tug your dress up. The best part? When you flickered your eyes to him, making sure he was watching.

Jungkook gulped subtly and disconnected your gaze, trying to act unbothered until the moment you came up behind him to moan in his ear.

Jungkook closed his eyes and hissed through his mouth quietly. You teased him further, taunting, "What if I let you fuck me? What would be the first thing you do to me? Come on, tell me."

His jaw was so tight, he wouldn't answer you. But then you said, "Mmm. You're right. It doesn't matter, anyway. You could never satisfy me. I like it rough and slow, and you look like the type to go fast."

He looked at you and you made a mini explosion motion with your hand, implying he didn't last long either.

"Fuck you."

"Ooh yes, daddy." You giggled, "Is that what you liked to be called? Do you make your girls call you daddy?"

Jungkook bit down on his lip, his hand going up to the back of your neck. "If you can't shut up, then I'd rather have it be because of me."

"We'll see." was all you said before pulling away from him, his fingers slipping through your hair as you left his grasp, but only for a moment.

"Jungkook?" Nina checks if he was still on the phone.

He sucks in air through his teeth and sits up. "Nina... I..."

"I know. You're not interested in more, but what if I promise not to bother you? Like consider me there whenever --- and I mean whenever--- you want a good time. That's all tomorrow's gonna be."

Easy. He knows.

Jungkook struggles to keep his eyes open with how hard his head was pounding. He just needs to get Nina off the phone, but he can't think of a nice way to do it.

"Nina, please stop."

He swears he heard her gasp on the other end.

Then her voice cracks, "...Seriously?"

"I just don't want to."

"But you'll be with other girls."

"... Yeah? If I want to and they want to... then yeah."

"Okay."

Jungkook holds his breath, waiting to see if she'll say more because she always does.

"I wonder... When are you gonna find someone good enough for you? But whatever. I wish you well."

She hangs up before Jungkook could even reply. Dropping his phone from his hand, he lays onto his side and rolls onto his back.

Tomorrow's going to be a shit show.

- - - - - - -

You didn't know if you would follow through and show up at the frat party for Taehyung, so you didn't tell Juli or Yoongi about the invitation. The first time you went, there was an ultimate purpose, but this time...

This time, it was Taehyung who invited you. You weren't sure if he was serious about liking you, and the idea of you showing up to be ignored would be humiliating, especially when Jungkook and you were no longer talking. Though Taehyung didn't seem like the type to do that. He would probably jump from the couch and welcome you with an arm around your shoulder.

So do you tell Juli and Yoongi? Or do you just go?

The party was still in two hours, and with only about 25 minutes left for your shift at the campus bookstore to be over, you could get ready for it.

"__, you can just go. I'll close up," your supervisor tells you with a pat on your shoulder.

"Are you sure?"

He nods as he takes out the vacuum. "Yeah, it's Saturday. Who's going to come by?"

You grin and rush over to take the vacuum from him, "At least let me help you with this."

When you get in your car, you take your lanyard off and rush home, deciding to go to the party after all. You want to hang out with Taehyung, but you also need to see Jungkook to confirm he was indeed ignoring you. The thought he was, bothered you a more than you'd like to admit.

As you walk into the house, you're surprised to find Yoongi and Juli quiet on the couch. Okay, something had to be wrong. Those two were always at each other's throats (Yoongi was a clean freak while Juli was not).

"What's up with you two?" you ask while setting your bag on the kitchen island.

Juli looks up with furrowed brows and upon closer inspection, you notice Yoongi's hunched over with a napkin to his eye. He's crying.

You nod your head at Juli, a deep frown settling in.

"They bullied him," she responds.

You cross your arms and take a seat next to Yoongi. "Who?"

"Beta Tau Sigma. Who else?"

Your mouth parts, a warmth spreading to your cheeks. Why did it feel like it was automatically your fault?

Yoongi laughs sarcastically, "Bullied? What am I? 13?"

"What did they do?"

Before he could answer, Juli scoots closer and pipes in, "They grabbed his backpack and dumped his shit across the quad going 'This is for Beta Tau Sigma!' What's worse is that its fricking windy and he lost his philosophy paper for his class."

Oh, no. Yoongi was pulling all-nighters at the library the past few days just to get it done. Why would they do that? Why would they target Yoongi?

"Can't you email her another copy, Yoongs?" You ask with a heavy heart, hoping that it can be fixed.

"She won't accept late work," Yoongi sighs, smoothing out his napkin.

"Why didn't you go to print another copy before class?"

"We had a test in class. I couldn't be late to that."

You sink back into the couch, the guilt clawing its way out of you.

"This is all my fault."

Another voice joins you, and you tilt your head at Juli, who puts her hands up. "No, I might've triggered them - Err, Jungkook. For spewing shit about you."

Yoongi frowns like he didn't like what he was hearing. "What kind of shit?"

"He was going around saying he fucked you! At the party and here. How egotistic. As if we wouldn't have known..."

Juli crosses her arms and shakes her head because she was too mad to say anything else. You look at Yoongi, who connects eyes with you and you know he knows.

"... So he lashed out at Yoongi. I'm sorry Yoongi."

"Juli," you interrupt, feeling like you were going to throw up. You felt responsible for what he did to Yoongi, but also was Jungkook going around bragging like it was an achievement of some sort? "Was Jungkook telling people that?"

She shrugs, "Probably. To save his reputation. He came up to me at the library and I knew right away something was up because he was trying hard to be nice to me. So I called him out on it, and that's when he said that."

"What did you say to him?" Your heart beats hard against your chest.

"Told him you would never fuck someone like him. Not in a million years unless it was a joke."

Shit. That's why Jungkook was ignoring you, and that's why he attacked Yoongi. It really was your fault.

Yoongi gets up from the couch, grabbing his glasses as he stares hard at you. There's betrayal in his eyes and you know it's all because he put all the pieces together. He knows that Jungkook and you were together. He knew you were keeping secrets from Juli, so why couldn't that mean you were keeping secrets from him? Jungkook and you having sex didn't seem that far-fetched now. It's clear to him that when Juli insulted Jungkook like that, Jungkook was hurt about finding out our intentions going to the party, that your went for Jungkook to screw with his head. Yoongi understands it's all got to do with you.

And you couldn't apologize.

"Oh... where are you going?" Juli grabs his hand, and gets dragged off the couch as Yoongi continues walking on.

When you hear Yoongi sigh, you muster up the courage to fix things. "Yoongi! I'm sorry they hurt you. I'll talk with the president of Gamma Psi, she'll email your professor."

"I can do that myself. Thanks."

And with one last glare, Yoongi went off into his room.

"We shouldn't have roped him in to our plan," Juli lies on the ground with a groan.

You nibble on your bottom lip, frozen in place, as you wallow in the feeling of guilt mixed with anger. It was your fault that Beta Tau targeted him, but why did Jungkook handle it that way? He was the one responsible for sending those guys to attack Yoongi. You were wrong, but so was he.

You guess you really had to go to that party.

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

Yoongi kept his door locked, playing music on full blast as he always did when he wanted time to think. There was no getting through to him that night, so you just left him alone. Grabbing your backpack, you fill it with your makeup bag and shoes. After curling your hair, you put it in a messy bun and throw on sweats over your dress before you tell Juli you're off to the library to work on some things for the Meet the Greeks event. She offered to help, but you tell her you'd both end up just talking the night away instead of accomplishing work.

You were nervous driving over there, you weren't going to lie. You weren't as confident as you were the first time. At least you had Yoongi and Juli to support you, but now you were alone.

When you get close enough, you let down your hair and apply your makeup. Unzipping your frat jacket, you shrug it off along with your joggers. Thank god it was dark out because how would you explain to any else why it looked like you had just snuck out from your parents' house to be here?

With the black-and-gold envelope in hand, you walk up to French Normandy-style house. You hate to admit it, but they really had the best house on the block.

You wrap your arms around yourself as the guys loitering on the lawn eye you up and down. As much as you wanted to roll your eyes and bark at them, you tamed yourself, since you were a kindly invited guest this time.

A car spins out of control in front of you, making you stop in your tracks. Fortunately, it was on purpose. The guys inside the slick black car whistle and holler as the tires screech against the circular driveway. As it swipes around, you watch Taehyung come into view from the back window, giggling as he holds onto the roof of the car.

Your eyes lock and he raises his eyebrows as if he was surprised you were there after all, his grin growing. The car continues to spin, his head whipping until it does a complete stop. You take a step back to fan your face in case the smoke from the rubber travels your way.

Taehyung stumbles out of the car. "Fuck," He groans under his breath.

You cover your smile and wait for him to jog over, not minding at all, since you get to ogle him. You're glad that he opted out of wearing his frat jacket to sport a loosely fitted black dress shirt. Only the last few buttons of his shirt were done, while the buttons around his wrist weren't. But your attention was on his tight - and you mean tight - black jeans accessorized by the thin chain draped around his left thigh. He was already hot, but he knew how to dress to? Now that's just unfair.

Stuffing his hands into his pockets, he hovers over you,  not even hiding the way he checks you out. "Hi."

"Hi Taehyung." You hold out the envelope with his invitation with two hands, tilting your head up at him. "I hope the invite is still good."

He smiles warmly, the kind that reaches his twinkling eyes. "Always. C'mon."

Taking the invite and offering you his hand, he turns to head into the party. You smile when he wiggles his fingers, and he looks back at you with a cheeky grin. You slip your hand into his, and you can't help but compare his hands to Jungkook's. Taehyung's were delicate, while Jungkook's felt warm and strong. Jungkook and you never truly held hands, but you two had compared one another's that drunk night in your room.

Taehyung pulls you in closer, hugging your arm as he holds your interlocked hands by his chest. The two of you avoid the line and jog up the stairs. It felt good, like real good, to receive the glares from the ones on the other side of the rope. You bite down on your tongue not wanting to pant like a dog with a day of no water, but when Taehyung gasps for air and laughs, you do too.

"And you do this every day?!" you ask him.

His laugh stutters and a tiny blush sweeps his cheeks, making you wonder if he ever blushed around you before. He tilts his head as if saying kinda.

The entrance to the house isn't that full. What is, is the entertainment room to the right. As Taehyung and you climb down those steps, you scan to see if Jungkook was playing pool with some guys. The butterflies fluttered inside your stomach at the thought that he could be. What happened? You had a speech all prepared for when you see him, but now your knees are weakening at the thought of saying it to him.

You turn your head and as your eyes scan over; you connect them with Taehyung, who's tilted his head into your view with a small smile.

It's your turn to blush now as you apologize.

"Who are you looking for?" He asks.

"No one- I ... did you hear about an incident between our frats?" you ask him after fumbling your words a bit, hoping he didn't see through you.

Taehyung tilts his head in thought. "Like what?" Before he could say anything more, someone jumps to place their hands on his shoulders. It startles you, making your own jump.

"Broooo, quit dragging ass and get behind the booth." Jimin whines. You remember the black-with-blond-streaks haired from the last party, when he was flirting with you in the kitchen.

Taehyung rolls his eyes with a smile, and leaning in to you, he whispers, "Little does he know it's a prerecorded set."

You laugh and he does too, a cute one that makes his mouth form a boxy shape. Jimin looks down at you, really seeing you for the first time this night. He raises an eyebrow. "Jeon's girl?"

Your smile falters.

Shrugging Jimin's hands off of him, Taehyung mutters, "my girl," as he fixes his necklace and shirt, while narrowing his eyes at him.

Jimin smacks his lips and looks between you two in amusement. He definitely has a couple of thoughts in his head, but before he could say anything else, Taehyung wraps an arm around your shoulders and turns you away.

As Taehyung leads the way into the backyard, he brushes past a couple of girls that look at him all starry-eyed while they look at you like the gum on the bottom of their shoe. Extreme, but you knew it was because Taehyung was trying his best to be with you instead of floating around at the party like he always does. Does he even notice just how much attention he attracts? Judging by his friendly nods and eyebrow raises, Kim Taehyung was everyone's friend.

"Beer?" Jimin asks into your ear as he slips forward, heading to the cooler to grab a couple. He tosses it to Taehyung, who catches it and passes it to you. You thank him and take it as you look at how packed the backyard was. There was music already playing, and it was so loud that the only way you were going to hear Taehyung is if he talks into your ear. Jimin walks back over to tell Taehyung something, pointing across the yard and then to what looks like his set up.

Your eyes drift away and look to see if you recognize anyone else here. The university was huge, so you're not shocked that you don't recognize a majority of them.

"Careful with this one," Jimin whispers into your ear. You raise your eyebrow and turn to look at him. Jimin winks, walking away mimicking the actions of drinking beer, then smoking, and then...

Your mouth opens. Ahh.

Taehyung flips him off in all directions and Jimin almost trips while laughing, his beer splashing out of the can.

"I'll be fiiiiiinee!" He giggles into your ear before taking your hand and dancing his way to his equipment. You dance along with him, looking at your feet to make sure you don't trip. Taehyung was making sure you wouldn't, too. There were only a couple of steps to the deck where his equipment was at, but he still wrapped his arm around you and gave you a tiny lift.

"Thank you," You mouth. Taehyung winks in response and takes his place in front of a console of buttons and screens. Your eyebrows shoot up as you look across the board, setting your beer faarr away from everything. The only buttons you can make out on this expensive thing are the play button and.... no, just the play button.

Taehyung laughs at your expression and goes behind you so that he can hold your hands, pointing out what everything does. "I mostly pre record my sets. They don't know the difference, anyway."

"But you can do it live?"

He nods, pressing his lips into your cheek. "Only if I'm high as shit!"

Feeling him pull away, you turn to see a couple of guys you don't know talk to him and hand him the microphone. Taehyung shakes his hands, but they shove it back into his hand, making you snort. He's cute.

The song already playing fades down, and you lift your eyes up to find that Jimin was across and near the speaker with his hand up.

You happily turn to Taehyung, curious to see how he usually does things. Taehyung looks down at his microphone, turning it on before letting out one tiny "Ah" into it and turning away with a smile. He places his hand over his heart. "I'm nervous because you're here."

"I can leave," you tease and Taehyung laughs before placing his headphones around his neck. You lean your palms against the table and try to follow his movements.  While a song was playing, he turns the knob near the screen and you see him filter through songs. "This is what it's like to do it live," He explains, "I load up one song here, and another here...."

After a bit, he presses the play button and you close your eyes to listen to what Taehyung created. It sends goosebumps up your arm, but only because it's him. Taehyung's already dancing as he grins your way, "Like it?"

You giggle, "Yes, but I'm too shy to dance!"

There were people watching, and you suddenly felt stiff as a board.

"Then it's not good enough!"

"Not true!"

Taehyung holds his finger up, nodding to the bass until it drops and he grabs your hands to dance with him. He's moving you around everywhere and you know it's just so you can loosen up and have fun. Taehyung wasn't afraid to be silly, and that helped you let go.

"Oh shi-" Taehyung giggles out of breath as he reaches over and quickly does something over the console.

You laugh and let him be as you grab for your beer to drink it down. Seeing the crowd jumping made you understand why Taehyung enjoyed being here so much. Watching everyone have fun over your setlist must be fucking amazing.  

Looking around, your face and excitement jolt away as you catch Jungkook heading toward the patio. In his hand is Nina with a maroon sorority jacket. You've heard of Beta Epsilon, but not as much as the guys probably have. Since when was she in Beta Epsilon?

Jimin jogs his way over and Jungkook says something into his ear before Jimin tries to point discreetly toward your way. Jungkook flickers his eyes over and sets his eyes on you. You stare right back, waiting for him to back down first. He locks his jaw and mouths something. Your heart stops for a second thinking it's toward you, but he turns back to Jimin before walking into the house and pulling Nina in right with him.

You can't even put into words how you feel. You aren't sure why. After all, didn't you reject him yourself? Or were you secretly hoping that he would make an exception for you?

Looking back at Taehyung, you find that he's already looking at you.

"49 seconds," He tells you.

You hum in confusion.

He shakes his head, looking down at his feet for a moment with a grin that looks forced. "Nothing... Damn, it's a little cold. Wanna join my friends at the bonfire?"

It was getting cold. You regret leaving behind your jacket, but at least there was a bonfire. The house was the better option, but you wouldn't step in there if Jungkook was there. Forget your plans to confront him. His dick was probably in that girl's mouth already. He wouldn't care for the Yoongi thing. It was clearly a move to show you he got the last word.

"The fire sounds nice." Before you can wrap your arms around yourself, Taehyung gently places his hand over your shoulder, pulling you in close for warmth. He guides you around the crowd of people over to where the firepit is. Your eyes widen at the size of the flame because it was really high. You almost didn't move a step closer had Taehyung not been brave enough to.

"Look what you did!" You hear a girl's voice complain.

"Me? Me?! Zelo put fricking I don't know TORCH fuel."

"It's not torch fuel, I already TOLD YOU-"

Taehyung almost looks like he regrets bringing you over, but little does he know that you are more than grateful that he did. These sounded like your kind of people.

He introduces you to everyone. Sora, Hoseok, and Junhong (referred to as Zelo). They all had on the fraternity jacket, but Sora couldn't have been in their frat, so she must've been wearing someone else's. Why did your mind go straight to Taehyung?

Awkwardly, you watch as Taehyung takes a seat on the last remaining chair, not knowing where to sit. He talks to Hoseok for a second before he looks back at you, as if strange that you didn't move.

You lift your eyes to him. He spreads his legs and pats his thigh. Oh.

Walking closer, you let him pull you into his lap. He wraps his arms around you to completely pull you against him like he was used to doing it. "Are you comfortable?" Taehyung murmurs into your ear, gently brushing his lips against it. All you could do was nod, because you didn't want to make a sound. He didn't know, but you were extremely sensitive to your ears.

"Good," he hisses before turning toward Hoseok like he didn't drip sex into your ear. Oh my god, why was that your weakness?

"Do you smoke, ___?" Sora suddenly asks.

Oh good. Now everyone was looking at you.

"I... don't. But I'm not against it or anything." You shake your hand and offer her a friendly smile.

Sora nods and reaches under her chair to offer you a beer. You nod and take it, remembering about your forgotten one on the deck.

"Taehyung can teach you alll about it." Hoseok takes out his gum and places it in a napkin, smirking at the two of you.

Taehyung tilts his head shyly, shaking his finger at him. You raise an eyebrow but become glad when the conversation switches to another topic. As you lift your head up to look at everyone, your eyes lock onto Sora's. She chews on her lip before jerking her head away to nudge at Zelo and ask for something. You know that look too well. Miss Sora either has a crush on Taehyung or has already dated Taehyung. Who is she exactly? And does this mean that she knows Jungkook too?

You fix your hair and watch as Hoseok passes something over to Taehyung.  Holding the joint Hoseok just rolled up, he waits for Hoseok to light it up for him before bringing it to his mouth, taking a hit. "Shit," He giggles happily.

Hoseok laughs and accepts it back as Taehyung passes it over. He turns to you and raises his eyebrow. "Are you okay with this? We don't have to be here for long."

"I'm okay," you tell him, taking a sip of your beer. "I'm enjoying the fire and I actually prefer it over here."

Zelo grins and gives you a thumbs up. "If you want, I can share a couple of funny stories about Taehyung."

Taehyung widens his eyes at him, giving him a firm (but playful), "No."

"Fine then, just one." Hoseok's already laughing and you lean forward to hear it. Taehyung groans, but listens to what Hoseok's going to say. "It was our freshman year and we were all dorming - we met freshman year btw - so Sora's roommate at the time invited us all to sleep over-"

Taehyung cracks up, covering his mouth with his knuckles and shaking his head. "Please stop. She's going to think I'm stupid."

"You aren't stupid, you were just high as shit." Sora sticks her tongue out at him. You try your best not to let it bother you.

"So we start smoking and we didn't expect that Sora's roommate had some real potent stuff. I think at that time, you really didn't even smoke right Taehyung?"

"No, I didn't." Taehyung laughs.

"We were all pretty fucked up, but the best part was that Taehyung put on a Japanese movie and was freaking out that he was fluent in Japanese. He was so pissed we didn't believe him, so he brought his phone over and started translating everything they were saying, but-"

"He was just reading the subtitles the entire time! This guy really thought!" Zelo laughs and you do too, trying to imagine him a couple of years ago. At that time, you were still sharing a place with Yoongi and Juli. You wish you had the dorming experience, though.

Hosoek whistles, "Those were good times."

They continue to share stories and you listen while enjoying your beer and some jungle juice that Hoseok brings over. You fan your face as the heat rises. Fixing the blanket Sora handed you a moment ago, you think about how Sora looked like she wanted to say something to you, but she and Taehyung seemed to share a look and she just walked away. You forgot about it until now, making you fidget on Taehyung's lap.

Your eyes look over at the house. Jungkook hasn't walked out at all. He probably marked this territory as unexplorable or touchable or whatever. Well, good because if you saw him with Nina you'd probably shout a couple of not nice things.

"You okay?" Taehyung asks, finger gently sweeping across your cheek. You bite down on your lip and look at him. He slowly tilts his head back, staring back with low eyes. They were so red.

You nod your head, Taehyung nodding back as he pulls you in closer. You scoot back oddly, causing him to jerk a little forward as he stutters, "F-fuck-"

"I'm sorry," you gasp out.

"-that felt good."

Your breath hitches.

Hoseok throws his head back against the chair, overhearing. "Get a room, please."

Zelo just sits back smiling, not even able to say anything more, and when you look at Sora, you find her rolling up another joint.

"Here, pass it to Tae."

Tae. Tae. Tae. First Nina and now Sora?

You watch as Zelo passes it to Hoseok who brings it to his mouth, despite already holding one in his hand.

"I said Tae, you greedy goblin!" Sora shrieks at him.

"Mine," Taehyung leans over and grabs it from him. You laugh and Taehyung automatically smiles at the sound of your laugh. His eyes twinkle as he peeks at you before bringing it to your lips.

You raise your eyebrows in surprise, staring at him like a deer in headlights.

Shaking his hair away from his eyes, he tells you, "Only if you want to."

"You don't have to!" Sora points her eyes at Tae who sticks his tongue out back at her. You don't like that. Especially not after them having a secret conversation earlier.

You reach out for his wrist and carefully bring it to your mouth. Taehyung adjusts it.

"Small puffs, baby."

The nickname sends shivers down your spine as you figure out how to inhale. It was foreign for you and as the smoke reached your lungs; you cough it out.

Taehyung laughs and places a peck on your nose. It tingles and you can't help but crave for more of his touch.

He places it on his lips next and you watch as he rolls his head back and blows the smoke away from you both.

You scrunch up your nose and lean more into him, parting your lips so you can have another attempt. Taehyung purrs as his eyes look at your mouth, "You're doing things to me."

Before you question him, he places the tip back at your lips and you take a hit, this time holding it in.

"Not too long," Taehyung coaches.

You part your mouth and release the smoke in Taehyung's face accidentally. He swats it and laughs, making you laugh too. There's warmth spreading all over your body and you're feeling content just staring at Taehyung. He's got a couple of moles sprinkled on his face and they suit him really well. You touch them delicately. Jungkook has some too. You remember noticing them as you lay facing each other in your bed.

Taehyung clears his throat, licking his lips before saying, "20 seconds."

"20 seconds?" There it is again. What did he mean?

"24."

You're still confused.

"28... that's how long you're looking at me for."

You gulp, asking, "And earlier?"

Taehyung purses his lips and you hold in your breath. "That's how long you weren't."

Hoseok gets up to add more wood to the bonfire, interrupting your moment with Taehyung. By now, they all seemed pretty zooted. Sora was asleep, Zelo singing along quietly to the music, and Hoseok was on his phone when he wasn't adding more to the fire.

You liked this feeling. Everything felt slow and calm. The only thing that was bothering you was how frequently Jungkook's face was coming to mind. Why were you thinking about him when hot-as-fuck Taehyung was in front of you? When Jungkook was probably somewhere in the house repeating everything he ever did with you, with someone else? If he couldn't be friends with benefits with you, then he would look elsewhere. That's all he ever wanted from you. What's funny is that you want that too. Except you drew the line at it being Jungkook. Why is that? Hm?

You suck in your breath and subconsciously start fiddling with Taehyung's necklace, focusing on the music so you can shut your mind up. Taehyung watches you, loving the way your fingers feather against his chest. He slowly moves his arms up your back, and you shiver in response because you got tingles alll over.

Letting his necklace go, you slowly slide your hand down his chest. As you inch lower and lower, you sneakily look at him to see if you're being discreet at all. Based on the way he was looking at you, you weren't.

Taehyung adjusts the blanket on you two as you slide yourself to be more comfortable between his legs, your dress riding up dangerously. When Taehyung places his hand on your thigh, he lets it travel higher to see how much your dress exposed.

"Shit, ___" he groans as he feels it up by your hips.

You bite down on your tongue, not particularly liking how rough his jeans felt against your skin. Leaning back against him, you whisper, "Can you take them off?"

Taehyung traps his bottom lip between his teeth as he wraps his arms around you tighter, murmuring, "Are you sure?"

You are. Your body was buzzing, and you wanted to feel more of him. You wanted to have fun, too.

You make sure the blanket won't slip off of you as Taehyung unbuttons his pants and lifts his hips to slide them down. You readjust yourself so you sit back on top of him. When you do, you feel how hard he is underneath you.

Taehyung places his hands on your hips as you slowly grind against him. Goosebumps travel down your arm when Taehyung rubs circles into your lower back with his thumbs.

Hoseok gets the drift from his peripheral vision. "Oh, Hell no."

He stretches his leg out to kick your guys' chair. Taehyung gives him a sloppy grin as he cocks an eyebrow like he didn't know why Hoseok was bothered.

"Not here, hornybirds."

Taehyung rolls his eyes and pokes his tongue out. "Fine, we won't do anything."

Right as he said that, you feel his hand go in-between your legs. "Right, baby?" He turns to look at you and you look back, his eyes telling.

"R-right."

Taehyung's eyes drop to your lips. "Can I?" He asks as he squeezes your thigh.

You nod your head, peeking over to make sure that Hoseok wasn't looking anymore. You think he isn't, but then again, you couldn't really tell.

You fix yourself on him, looking down at the blanket as you feel Taehyung's fingers pass your underwear to rub you. You close your eyes in delight, already clenching as he takes his time to feel you. His hand is warm, and it surprises you how big it feels against you. As he continues rubbing you, you feel how wet you're becoming.

Pulling his hand out, he tugs on your panties, wanting you to help him get them down. They were getting in the way anyway. Once you step out of them, you part your legs completely for him, curious to how Taehyung would continue to please you.

Taehyung pants into your ear. "Fuck. I wish I could see you."

The compliment makes you blush.

His slender fingers returning to rubbing circles, spreading your wetness. His touch felt so good at the moment, but the secrecy felt even better. What would really top it off would catching Jungkook's expression if he walked out right about now. Your heart flips and you lock your jaw to prevent yourself from moaning as Taehyung glides over your clit, making you buck your hips up and point your eyes at him. There was no way he could continue and you could be quiet in front of his friends.

"Keep looking at me," he commands as he prods your entrance. You're gripping onto the blanket for dear life already, not wanting to let it slip because then you'll be flashing everyone that's lurking around.

He slips two fingers into you, adjusting himself in the seat so that he can thrust them in deep. Your mind swirls at the first plunge as you satisfy your need to just have something inside you. His fingers would do for now.

Taehyung rapidly fingers you, curling them as he watches your expression. You let a sound slip out of your mouth, but disguise it as his name. That probably didn't make it better, did it?

His chest rises and falls as he watches your expression, the veins in his neck becoming more prominent. You could feel his cock twitching and you bet he wanted it to be inside you just as much as you wanted that too. God, you were so needy right now. Judging by Taehyung's look, he was too. And when Taehyung leans over to mutter about how bad he wants to just throw you on the ground and fuck you in front of everyone, it confirms it.

"You guys sure are moving a lot." Zelo comments loudly, waking up Sora as well.

Taehyung stops for a second, and you look through the hair that's fallen over your face to mumble an apology. God, you can't even look at them straight in the eyes.

"I'll be right back." Sora stands up awkwardly and starts walking toward the house, Zelo following her. Seeing this, Hoseok rises to follow. "No way in hell am I staying behind with you two."

Taehyung laughs loudly. "Better for us!"

You lean against him and Taehyung takes out his hand, hooking his finger on his bottom teeth as he looks at you devilishly. Your heart flips at the sight. If things kept going the way they were, you were going to end up in his room. Déjà vu.

Patting your leg, Taehyung gets up, making you squeal as you try to hold the blanket tight around you. He adjusts himself before he holds his pants together, his hand holding down his crotch. He knows you're staring and, with a smirk, he slides his hand up his length. Your eyes snap up at him, not used to how bold he is. He holds your gaze as he stumbles back before getting down on his knee.

You almost choke on your spit. No, he isn't going to propose. That would be stupid.

Taehyung lifts the blanket and crawls underneath it. With a gasp, you cross your legs. He wasn't thinking because the blanket hung over his back and made it pretty damn obvious what was going down - him. "Taehyung!"

Your mind is ringing with alarms, but they shut off when his hands knead your thighs and his soft lips land on your inner thigh. It tickles and you giggle, pushing against his hands to close your legs. Your thoughts swirl around in your mind and you just focus on the pleasure. Melting into the kisses, he slowly places up your legs, you part them wider so you can place one front and center.

You silently gasp, lifting your eyes to accidentally land on the house. You hope no one is looking out the window. If you can't see the inside clearly, then they can't see the outside clearly, right? You also pray that Taehyung's friends don't come out right now. One, you didn't want to be caught, but two, you didn't want him to stop.

Throwing your head back, you sink against his mouth as he savors you. You don't realize your mewling or how the blanket exposes a leg getting thrown over Taehyung's shoulder. He was too busy driving you crazy with how he toyed with your clitoris. He groans in delight, already throwing your other leg over his shoulder as well and when he succeeds, he wraps his arms around your thighs as he absolutely devours you. With the way his mouth kept diving in for more, he was also enjoying the taste.

"Taehyung!" You barely whisper out his name as you gasp louder and louder, feeling the low pull in your abdomen. He removes his mouth and inserts his two digits into your entrance before he's thumping them inside you. All it takes is for him to flicker his tongue repeatedly over your swollen bud before your seeing stars. Thank fuck!

With a low chuckle, Taehyung emerges from under the blanket, wiping his mouth before he runs his fingers through his sweaty locks. A slow grin emerges on his face and he runs his tongue across his mouth, "Thanks."

You catch your breath and accept the hand he offers to help you up. The floor moves on its own and you lean into him for support. He fixes himself before he throws his arm over your shoulder and pulls you in close. You look around you, Taehyung whispering into your ear about how you two should go into his room. "Before we're caught."

It wasn't like there wasn't anyone hanging around you two because there was, but you two were lucky that your spot was partially hidden and that everyone was stupid drunk or had their head in the clouds.

There's nothing like hearing "Gamma Psi Alpha" to sober you up a little. You turn to see where it came from, but you couldn't figure it out. The heat rose to your cheeks, and you pursed your lips, starting to panic, which was also making you a little nauseous.

You look up at Taehyung and nod. "Your room it is. Can we stop by the kitchen for a drink?"

Taehyung laughs, his eyebrows shooting up, "More??"

"Water. I need water." You hold your hand over your mouth and pull away in a hurry to get into the kitchen. Running probably wasn't the smartest move because by the time you got to the door, you were feeling the burn in your throat. You lean over the rail and take a couple of deep breaths. Someone exiting bumps into you hard and you bite down on your tongue. Fuck is their problem?

Catching the door before it closes, you squeeze inside and reach for a water bottle in the case. Taking careful sips, you relax against the counter. For a minute.

"You were with Jungkook again?"

You overhear a girl ask another. Hearing the question, you can't help but dig your teeth into the opening of your water bottle. Averting your gaze to the kitchen entryway, you spot the maroon jacket again and confirm that it's the one-and-only Nina when she steps into the kitchen.

She tiptoes as she tries to look out the window, but then turns with a smile to her friend. "Mhm~"

Her friend giggles and elbows her, "I haven't seen him hangout with someone this much. You two are a thing, aren't you?"

Nina winks before walking by you to pour herself some punch. "Maybe? I'll see what happens tonight."

You narrow your eyes as you look Nina up and down. Dang, she's too pretty. Anything you could say to criticize her would just appear as you being jealous. Which you totally were. Then again, she looked like any other pretty girl out there. Same clothes, same makeup.

She turned to look at you with a curve of her eyebrow before she squints her eyes at you, finding you familiar, but you took it as her wondering why you were staring. You look away, taking a sip of your water.

"Nina." Her friend calls for her.

She jumps a little before heading out.

You take a deep breath, wanting to forget about what she said just now. Forget Jungkook. Where was Taehyung? Wasn't he right behind you?

Curious about the time, you look over at the oven. 12:20 am.

"Shoot. Juli." You pat around for your phone and realize that you left it in the car with your jacket. "I'm going to cry," you whine out loud. The others in the kitchen serving you weird looks. It was like they hadn't ever seen a girl having a breakdown in the kitchen during a frat party before.

"___?" Sora walks through with a bag of opened chips. Scratch that, a bag of mouth watering cheddar chips. You gulp and smooth out your stomach.

"Are you okay?"

"You hate me." You keep blurting out things that you should really keep in your mind.

Sora looks taken aback. "That's not true."

You shrug your hair behind your shoulders and tilt your head, not really believing that. You saw the way she was looking at you during the bonfire, and the way she was talking to Taehyung. Clearly, she didn't like you or didn't like you being near him.

She sighs in defeat and puts down the chips on the counter. You resist the temptation to grab it as best as you can. "For real. I just was anxious about you."

You look at her, waiting for her to clear up what she means, because every alarm in your head screamed that she had a crush on Taehyung. Is there ever a win for you?

"You don't really look like... you usually come here. Sorry, I'm not trying to say it like in a bad way or-" She jumbles her words together and based on her tone, you know she really didn't mean it harshly. Besides, she was speaking the truth. You don't come around here and you don't hang around these types of people.

You tap your foot on the ground and snort, "It's fine, ha. Do you think I don't belong here or something?"

Sora squints her eyes and twists her mouth around. "Well, the truth is I've seen you around campus with Gamma Psi."

You tense up a little at the mention of the fraternity because you know that you're doing them dirty by being here and not telling them.

"Ah... yeah. I'm usually with them." You are THEM. But you couldn't say that.

"So you're a good girl." Jungkook's voice plays back in your head, like you expect him to pop out and say that once more. Is that what Sora was getting at? You're usually with the good crowd, so why are you here? Doing things that could get you in trouble?

Sora nods, continuing, "And Gamma Psi never comes here."

Lies. You all were here last time.

You grab a cup, lifting your eyes onto her. She's not even looking at you, keeping her eyes on the counter. "It's just odd."

You laugh, mostly out of nervousness, but also because you didn't know how to answer that. "Taehyung invited me so I came."

She taps her fingernails on the counter, eyeing the window for a second. "Ohh...."

She looks like she's thinking about something and you hate that you don't know what it could be.

"Sora... do you like Taehyung?" There, you said it. You just wanted to get this over with.

Sora's eyes widen. "No. I mean, once upon a time, but not anymore. Definitely not anymore...I wasn't asking you all this because I was trying to go for him. I'm just... you seem too good for him. Honestly."

You throw your head back, annoyed. "I think I'll be just fine. Besides, I don't think Taehyung's serious."

And it was fine. You weren't either. You finish your water bottle, feeling yourself come crashing down from your high. Partly because reality was really hitting hard. In the end, you were getting involved with people that you didn't really know or exactly fit in with. Taehyung was right. We all had different ways of getting high. Yours was using him for a while.

"But what if I told you he was?"

You furrow your eyebrows, taking in the question while keeping your eyes trained on her, "But you think that I'd get hurt in the end, don't you? That's why you're saying I'm too good for him? I'm lost."

"If Taehyung told you he likes you, then he really likes you. Taehyung's got a heart, more than any other guy in this house. That's why girls end up getting hurt. Because it's his bad habits that destroy all his relationships...for one, he smokes too much and he gets really defensive if you try to bring that up. So I'm letting you know that he's for real, but I don't think you guys are a match."

Your face must've fallen, because Sora quickly waves her hand. "Sorry, I sound so harsh and shit all the time. You just look like you deserve way better. like waaay better. Even Jungkook thinks so that's why he's outside dealing with Taehyung, making sure that he doesn't do any shit to bring us a bad rep. Like wow, gamma psi? you're crazy smart."

Your eyelids flutter as your heart also drums fast against your chest. "Jungkook?" Jungkook was out there with Taehyung right now?

Sora looks into your eyes, and you slowly see something flicker across hers as if something clicked into her head. You couldn't hear her gasp as someone opens the backdoor, the volume increasing. Your eyes widen and you try to look.

"Fight!" A guy cups his mouth as he holds the door open. Everyone around swarms with excitement to head to the backyard, murmurs traveling about who it could be.

You already know.

"What the hell?" Sora whispers in confusion as she heads out. You follow right behind her, hoping that you were wrong. They couldn't be fighting over you, right?

The cold air hits you hard and you wrap your arms around you as you try to look over the lawn from the deck. People were all clumped together with their phone flashlights on as they hold it up high, most likely also recording. You can't tell who's fighting and you look at Sora to find her with her mouth open as she looks into the sea of people as well.

You climb down the stairs, partly because of all the people pushing past you. When you step near the crowd, one gets pushed back and bumps into you, sending you to the ground.

"Shit, sorry!" He helps you up. As you stand, you look into the circle. You recognize the one falling to the ground to be Taehyung. There's no mistaking his pants. You watch him struggle to turn over, but he hooks his arm someway under the other and turns, his shirt wrinkling up to reveal his back. Seeing the tattooed arm hook around Taehyung, you feel your stomach twist.

Taehyung and Jungkook.

Over and over, you hear their names from those around you, passing along who's fighting.

"Taehyung's out, dude."

"He's getting kicked out of the frat."

You freeze up as people push past you, trying to get a closer look. The last thing you see is Jungkook slam Taehyung's shoulders to the ground and swing. You don't break up the fight, not only because there are people filming it and everything but also because you're a coward. Worst of all, what if they weren't even fighting over you?

You take a step back and accidentally step onto someone's foot. Turning to apologize, you meet eyes with Nina.

She stares right at you, but this time, she's looking like she knows. She knows that you're behind this. How could she not when you look more distressed than anyone else there? The guilt just eating you up. Because you have a lot to be guilty about....

a lot.

❀ DATES WITH HIM | TOKYO REVENGERS 🤍 hanma shuuji 💿 gender neutral, second pov (you/your), fluff, au - canon divergence, imagine 📅 june 02, 2021 🔗 main, hanma as your boyfriend

hanma shuuji, your lover, takes you out on a date. it's apparent to you just how much he loves you, despite all the teasing.

“Hanma, I swear, if I fall, I’m going to haunt you.”

The aforementioned snickers, not taking your threat seriously at all, all for good reasons as well. The very obvious one was that you wouldn’t die even if you jumped here and now. Second would be because you loved him too much to subject him to such suffering. Third would be because he would only laugh at you if you try to haunt him.

“That’s kind of the point, babe.”

“No, it isn’t!”

“I’m going to push you off.”

“NO!!”

Hanma laughs once more, completely amused like the devil he is. “I’m going to push you now,” he sounds, taking slow steps and knowing that you could hear his footsteps even with the noise. “Get ready~”

“Hanma, dammit please don’t.”

He’s grinning now, even if you can’t see it. He places his hands on your shoulders, grip tight. With him so close, if he as so much leans forward or even spooks you by blowing on your nape, you would be jumping to your death.

“Fuck it.”

Then, you jumped.

Hanma bursts out laughing, this time uncontrollable as you scream bloody mary like an idiot, crouching on the floor and cursing him at the same time. His laugh is free as you crumple on the cold tiled floor, flinging off the headset that brought you to the Virtual Reality of the game (or at least made you think so).

He doesn’t stop giggling like a little kid even when you look at him with your hair sticking to your face because of your sweat and eyes blown-wide. Your mouth was agape, trying to breathe in so much air in your lungs, a hand on the ground beneath you to make sure that you were still there.

“I didn’t even push you!” He says in between chortles, trying to wipe away the tears from his eyes.

“I’d rather jump myself than have you push me.”

Hanma feels like throwing himself off a building in hysterical glee, but this time, an actual building and not a game where you jump for the thrills and fun.

“I hate you.”

“You love me, we both know that.”

After the disaster early in noon with the VR game and almost breaking the headset that would have cost you thousands, the two of you are now enjoying a very-late lunch in a small family diner near the building where you had rented the monstrosity.

“We should try it again after lunch,” Hanma teases, finding amusement in your suffering and still pale face.

“And risk me returning my lunch, no thanks.”

Hanma pouts but there’s not much sadness. If you don’t want to do it again, then the two of you don’t have to do it again. The only reason why you ended up trying it in the first place was because you yourself insisted to—to get rid of your fears or some idiotic things. Frankly, it did not get rid of your fears; only traumatized you even more.

He knew that it wasn’t a good idea but you were always so hard-headed… And he had it on video now.

Currently, you were staring at your meal as if it had killed your ancestors, likely thinking about the earlier event and your almost-demise because of a heart attack. Your brows were furrowed and lips pulled together, lost in both thought and resentment. “What kind of idiot would want to subject themselves in that kind of torture?”

Having heard your mumbling, Hanma rolls his eyes with a little smirk. You, of course.

Hanma pulls out his phone, taking a quick picture and putting it up in his Instagram story because you just looked hilarious to him. It was like looking at a little kid who got scolded in public because they wouldn’t stop whining.

He knew that you were to see it later and start hunting him down with a pitchfork but he’ll cross the bridge when he gets there.

You were already done with your meal and was now stuck in your musings so Hanma takes your hand and pulls you up, startling you out of your reverie. “Let’s go,” he grins, stringing you along out of the diner and intertwining your fingers together so easily as if he was just breathing.

He pulls you close, your forearms almost touching each other but not quite. Hanma slows his walk, enough for it to be a simple and calming stroll, surrounded with the tranquility of the streets as you get away from the busier parts of Shibuya. He swings your connected hands to and fro, looking happier than when he made fun of you during the virtual experience.

You can’t help but beam and Hanma regards it with a thoughtful raise of a brow as you walk in a park that had a few kids playing around as the clock ticks closer to four. You had taken lunch late for the fear and adrenaline had numbed out the hunger, you didn’t quite mind.

“Hey, there’s an ice cream parlor across the street…” Hanma trails off, glancing at you, awaiting for a response.

“I’ll have my usual then.”

He presses a quick peck on the side of your head, slowly letting go of your hand before he bounds off with a little skip in his step. You take a seat on a nearby bench, lightly gazing at the kids that were laughing at themselves or at each other with no care in the world. Purity brims in their eyes along with childish curiosity and carelessness, a time of ignorance that no one can ever get again.

Being a child wasn’t exactly the most freeing time of one’s lives, but it definitely felt that way when you’re only five years old running around and not even knowing that school existed. You don’t care about problems because you don’t know about them, you have your parents to worry about everything else while you just play and joke around; picking who you like and who you don’t.

Sometimes, Hanma acts like that. Like a little kid only there for the momentary thrill and enjoyment, something that he’ll toss away days or years later. But he wasn’t. Deep behind that laxity was a promise to stay and love you for as long as he could. He wasn’t as forgetful, nor as ephemeral as a child’s attention.

He never said that he’ll stay, didn’t make any promises, but it’s in how he looks at you and how he treats you to little things like this.

Hanma comes back quickly, still with that little skip in his steps but this time with more hurry as if he can’t help but ungracefully throw himself on the seat beside you. He brings back two cups, one for him and one for you. His strawberry ice cream had only started to soften, yours in a better state.

He gives you a few folded tissues even before you thought you even needed it. The two of you enjoy your confections in silence, no words needed to ease into each other’s presence. Blankly gazing at the people that pass by, you lightly lean on Hanma and he returns it with a brush to your hand.

Hanma kissed you on the lips when you closed your eyes, the sweetness of the strawberry and the coldness of his lips were what made you flutter your eyes open.

When the afternoon ends and parents start herding their children home, Hanma disposes of your cups and holds your hand once more. His steps were easy and slow, no worry or fret as the two of you took your time, relishing in the sudden pushes of cold wind as the sun started to set in the horizon and orange along with purplish pink paints the sky.

He drapes his jacket over your shoulders when he thought it had gotten too chilly and goosebumps start rising on your skin. He doesn’t acknowledge the look you give him, only intertwining your fingers together once more like it’s second nature. The necklace once buried under his jacket’s collar was noticeable now and it was the same as the one that hung in your neck.

Hanma walks you home, stopping right in front of your doorway and once more meeting his lips with yours. Then, he pulls back to look at you, his eyes telling what his mouth can’t.

Hanma didn’t want to leave yet.

You smile, noticing.

“I rented some DVDs a few days back and got some snacks, want to watch them with me?”
