— KEN (ft. singing)

Your closest friends invited you to a popular karaoke bar on one Friday night to celebrate a successfully passed semester in college. Of course, you couldn’t forget about your lovely boyfriend, who was at the same university, but in a different field (i.e. Japanese literature) and always supported you with all his might, knowing how much you want to do your dream job in the future.

So you went to the meeting together, and on the way to the designated place you talked all the time about what the next year of study would bring you. As soon as you reached the room where your three closest besties and one male friend were waiting for you, you both greeted them warmly, immediately taking off your thick coats and taking your seats on a soft, leather couch next to a table filled with tasty-looking snacks and colorful drinks.

Long minutes of conversations between the six of you resulted in drunk plenty of alcohol and blushes on the faces. After drinking, you always got more talkative and more self-confident, so you suggested using the TV and the karaoke machine. Of course, you first offered your friends and Ken to sing something, but they all declined, saying that you should start as an initiator. One of the girls, blonde-haired Minami, smiled at you with a sparkle in her pretty golden eyes, adding that you are the best in this and you should show how to do it correctly. You chuckled in response, waving your hand at her to dismiss compliment.

Kaneki, on the other hand, frowned as he looked at the boy who was sitting on his right.

“... Oh, you don’t know? Y/N-san hasn’t yet praised herself to you that she has a wonderful voice? Huh, huh.” The black-haired boy shook his head, reaching for the glass filled with blue something again. “Hmmm, well. Normally Y/N’s very shy, but she always sings at trips when she’s drunk.” He chuckled while you picked one of your favorite songs in the meantime. So everyone looked at your standing figure, then heard the characteristic sounds from one of Selena Gomez’s songs coming from the gray speakers.

“My dear, I dedicate it to you~!” You looked with joy on your face towards the eighteen-year-old, giving him a quick wink, and then you started your little performance with ‘Love you like a love song’ from the above-mentioned artist.

Your friends didn’t seem surprised and instead started clapping to the beat of the music... but Ken’s eyes widened and he spat out his high-percentage drink, not knowing how to react to the fact that for nine, long months of your relationship, you concealed the fact that you could sing so well and so beautifully. Your voice was perfect for the song that was playing now, and you seemed to be having a great time – there was a huge smile on your lips, your eyelids were slightly closed and your hand was over your heart. If it weren’t for the fact that you were at a karaoke bar, everyone would definitely think you are playing a concert on the biggest stage in Tokyo city.

After the song was over, another girl got up to present a completely different choice, and you handed her the dark microphone, bowing in the process.

Kaneki still seemed speechless and as soon as you sat down next to him, he immediately kissed you on the warm forehead, asking you to sing more to him, especially when you two are going to be alone, because he probably fell in love with you once again and just wanted to experience that love every day thereafter.

— NISHIKI (ft. ballet)

Nishiki, as a pharmacy student, didn’t have much time for extra-curricular activities or unnecessary meetings; in addition, the fact that he was a bloodthirsty ghoul and had to watch over himself made it difficult for him to function normally in the life of Kamii University. However, the brown-haired man always found time for you, for his beloved girlfriend.

You had been dating for over three, long years, and the man definitely couldn’t imagine his own life without you by his side. You knew each other better than anyone else in this world, but sometimes some tiny things of your ordinary day eluded Nishio; of course you understood it perfectly and you weren’t angry or disappointed with him. After all, he had to protect himself, you, take care of his specific menu, be vigilant at every step, and additionally he had to pretend to be the perfect student, senpai (or kouhai) and friend of other people.

So you weren’t surprised when one day you handed him a silverish ticket for probably the most important show of your life and he just looked at you in wonderment. At the beginning, the twenty-year-old asked if it was a performance related to singing or playing an instrument due to the fact that the colorful paper didn’t tell him too much, but you just smirked as you tweaked the unruly, soft hair on his head.

“Hmm. If you don’t remember what I do in my free time, it’s even better, I guess. Come and see it for yourself, honey. I think that thanks to this you will even calm down a little and rest due to the recent weeks.” You announced in a light tone of voice, and the young man sighed under his breath.

“So... I’ll find out in three days, am I right?” He made sure by correcting his glasses and you nodded, then grabbing his rough hand and kissing his cool cheek. A short while later you suggested going to your apartment and catching up on a few episodes of your favorite series that you started quite recently.

The anticipation of your important day passed very quickly and on Saturday, at 6 p.m., when everyone took their seats (with your boyfriend sitting on one of the balconies with the best view of the stage), delicate music was played in the theater, which made everyone shiver on the whole body. Until then, the brown-eyed boy somewhere in the back of his head had the impression that it was a theater performance or an opera, but when he saw your person appear on stage in a beautifully tailored dress and ballet shoes, all the questions that flickered in his mind disappeared in literally one second.

‘Well, yeah. I remember now. She always told me about ballet classes and new shoes.’ A huge, proud smirk came on his pale face and you glanced out of the corner of your eye towards his VIP seat.

Though your expression was cold and composed, you felt an enormous heat in your small heart as the man waved at you, showing two thumbs up. His lips moved even slightly, and although Nishiki tried to hide it, you knew perfectly well that the pink blush and mute ‘I love you’ was sincere and even better than being able to play Odetta, the White Swan, in a ballet spectacle.

— YUUMA (ft. songwriting and guitar playing)

Christmas at school was never what you enjoyed; maybe due to the fact that before, your classmates on main campus were quite specific and you definitely didn’t fit with their strange ‘ideals’. It was only in the class E that you felt that you could find real friends or people who would share your ideas.

But, hmm. Still, you seemed to stand out from the rest of the girls in the class who had more... down-to-earth hobbies or characters than you; Okuda liked chemistry and was really excellent at it, Kirara loved reading, Rio was the best at English and had a great sense of fashion, and Toka was pretty good at cooking. Contrary to them, you preferred to... do more ‘intimate’ things. Writing short poems filled your heart with peace and prevented you from being as critical of yourself as usual. And when you wrote the lyrics of the songs, made notes or melodies to them and sang quietly, you could feel like a real artist that everyone wanted to admire and imitate.

Therefore, when your first and last class holidays with the rest of the 3-E students were fast approaching, Koro-sensei was the one who asked you for a short talk. You weren’t sure what this was about, but moments later your uncertainties were dispelled.

“Y/N-san, I think you mistook your notebooks today and instead of giving me your homework, you gave to me... this.” He said in his as always happy voice, and seeing the black notebook in which you always wrote songs and notes, you blushed all over your face, apologizing profusely for the mistake. “Huh? But this is no mistake, my dear. If it weren’t for this, I would never even think that we have such a talented soul in Class 3-E. So would you like to perform in front of the rest of the students and teachers during the holidays?” The easy question made you widen your eyes and sighed.

“I-I’ve never played in front of anyone, so...” You admitted shyly, and the tall, yellow octopus just chuckled.

“I’m pretty sure they will love it. We can practice together.”

Well, you couldn’t refuse (especially when Koro-sensei offered to bring your favorite, foreign snacks...) and on class Christmas day you showed up with your acoustic guitar and a notebook full of chords and songs. Everyone was surprised and curious at how well you play guitar. After all, you’ve never even mentioned that you can play any instrument before. On the other hand, the class representative, and your boyfriend at the same time, immediately came up to you, asking if you were really okay; better than anyone else, Isogai knew that you didn’t like too much attention and big crowds. But you reassured him it was okay and promised your teacher you would do it, so you smiled at him and then took your seat under the blackboard with a wooden guitar on your lap.

The song you chose for the day was a song you wrote quite recently. It had a little bit of magic, and at the same moment it seemed very romantic and delicate. Even Karma seemed delighted with your beautiful play and soft voice that echoed from time to time between the walls of huge classroom.

At the end of the song, you decided to raise your gaze and simultaneously look at your all friends, three teachers and other half; everyone was really happy and positively speechless. So you gave Yuuma a slight wink, making him blush sweetly.

The young teenager definitely hoped you would show him more of your songs someday, not necessarily the happy Christmas carols Kaede and Ritsu asked for.

— ITONA (ft. dancing)

“... You never mentioned that you can dance.” He admitted softly, and you squeezed his smooth hand tighter.

“So... I mention it right now. It’s not a big deal, baby. I just ... like it and enjoy it a lot.” You giggled as you correcting the black sports bag over your shoulder, then opened the heavy door to the training room, immediately jumping up at the sound of loud squeals and greetings from your closest friends. “Guys, this is Itona Horibe, my boyfriend that I told to you before! Love, it’s Aki-chan, Yui-chan, Kazuya-kun, Saburo-kun, and our cameraman and editor Ryuu senpai. Most often, the five of us cooperate with each other when it comes to dance in groups of five people. And... today we are going to cover a song so I hope you’ll like it. I’ll go change and you all, please, don’t scare my boyfriend and give him something to drink!”

As a group leader, you often came up with choreographies and warm-ups for yourself and others. So, it couldn’t be otherwise this time. For the last week and a half you have been practicing the choreo you came up with and today you were supposed to record material for the video on your quite popular YouTube account. You were extremely excited, not only with the new content, but most of all with the fact that your beloved one would be able to watch it live and evaluate your skills that have been refined over the years. So as soon as you got back to the teens waiting for you, you kissed the light-blue-haired quickly on the right cheek and told him that he could sit against the wall, close to the table full of snacks and the contact for charging the phone.

Then you talked with everyone for a while, doing a short warm-up and reminding the cameraman about how to move the cam. A few short minutes later, you lined up in the middle of a huge white room with Ryuu in front of you. You knelt down in the center, of course, gently moving your shoulders to calm your rapidly pounding heart and heavy breathing, and when a song by Ariana Grande started playing all over the bright room, you all looked at the already activated camera, shaking your heads and then you got up from the wooden floor.

Itona... was speechless. He has never seen people dancing before, he has never even been interested in others, only you and what you like. Today he got to know your little passion, which turned out to be a breathtaking talent, and the boy wondered if you could do anything else; are you good at one specific dance genre or are you able to move your body in a completely different rhythm than he currently saw?

From Koro-sensei’s history lessons, when you two were in junior high, the eighteen-year-old remembered perfectly well that there is also classical dance, tango and breakdance. So could you also do that? He had to ask you about it later.

But now his curious gaze was focused on you and your huge, radiant smile, and the sound of feet hitting the ground. He also looked at your legs, tiny hands, stomach, and hair, while he wondered if he might learn to dance too, to be even closer to you and your hobby. After all, you looked so beautiful and so joyful... He wanted to share these emotions.

Gift Giving

a very, belated gift for emmy, bb ily!! @storiesthatneedtobewritten​ / @seashellsandshores​ pls check her out, her writing is amazing and she is an equally wonderful friend (I also wasn’t sure which was your main main writing blog now so I tagged both just in case fjdksfjksd!! again tysm for the gift and I hope you enjoy this one!) 

-

It was rare for Megumi to panic, much rare to see him all but pacing around the dorms, eyebrows furrowed in deep concentration and hands wringing almost nervously.

Gojo hadn’t even gotten an answer from him when he asked, well if you counted teasing the poor curse user as asking then sure.

In turn, the lack of any idea on what to do only served to frustrate Megumi further. While it had been sometime since he had seen you, as you were on your own assignment for the school and so you were out of Japan, he had wanted your reunion to be special at least. And while you would not be home in time for Christmas, he still at least wanted to give you something special. He had already gotten his sister her gift, leaving her flowers alongside it.

Flopping back onto his bed as he stared at the ceiling, he blinked once, then twice. 

And then a third time. Before his eyes widened and he sits up at a near dizzying speed. Something homemade would be a lot more sentimental right? Of course it would. Wracking his brain for any ideas, Megumi makes a quick note of whatever he needed, wallet? yes, phone? also yes. Shrugging on a coat, he was quick to make way to the outer hallway. 

Passing by Itadori and Kugisaki who only stare at their classmate’s back as he rushes past them. He hears Kugisaki call out to him, which he quickly waves off. “I’ll be back.”

-

The shopping was as difficult as he thought it would. People bustling around for the new years and whatever other gifts for last minute Christmas gatherings, among friends rather than family from what he gathered. 

But no matter, with bag in hand, as he jogged up the steps to the school, Megumi was fairly certain that if he stayed up long enough, he could get this done. 

Which of course meant that by the time it got to midnight, Megumi had already fallen asleep, your gift in his hands, not wrapped, but fortunately complete. 

-

You shudder as the cool air hits your face the moment you exit the car in front of the school. 

“Thank you Ichiji-san,” You bow, before giving the man a small smile, he only bows in return, after all, you were one of the few among the sorcerers and students who hadn’t constantly given the man heart attacks, so at least you could brag about being a favorite.

“It’ll be late, so please head on to rest,” He quickly adds.

You nod, “Of course, happy holidays.”

“And to you, ___.” You wave as the car begins to drive off, turning around and sighing as you begin to make your trek up the stairs. Why couldn’t they get something more efficient?

The walk to the dorms thankfully wasn’t so far from the main building, and you peer over, seeing the one room light open. It was probably Yuji or Nobara still awake, with a small shake of your head you laugh slightly, always the energetic pair. 

Adjusting your bag over your shoulder once more, you continue forward. While you probably could have went to your room to drop off your things, a part of you did miss seeing your friends. 

You knock twice, and you’re greeted by a very festive looking Panda. 

“Oh! ___! You’re back!” At his announcement, you hear the other students coming by, and you’re quickly pulled in. The cold of the outside being replaced by the warmth of the room’s atmosphere. 

“So, how was it? I wanna go to France,” You hear Nobara mutter the second half with slight envy, making you laugh a bit. 

“Well, the curse part I could do without,” You answer, “But otherwise it was fun. Although, I did bring something back.” At this, you see them, even Maki showing the slightest interest despite her exterior, and you smile. Before you look around the room. 

“And Megumi?” You tilt your head curiously, “Is he okay?”

Yuji and Nobara share a look, that you’re quick to make note of in the back of your mind, before Yuji answers, “He decided to head in early, said he was tired.” But noticing the way he fiddles with his hands, he left something out.

However, you nod, not wanting to ruin the mood, “Ah that’s okay. I can give him his gift later. But, what about you guys? Anything fun happen while I was gone?”

And so, you were filled in on the antics that included different curses, Gojo-sensei’s usual antics, which in turn meant, you didn’t miss a lot. 

However you were still curious about what Megumi was doing, But you were still a little tired. Flying for a good amount of the day and travelling from the airport to the school took a bit out of you. So you say your goodnight, before heading back to your dorm. You leave your bag, dressing in more comfortable clothes, before deciding to see Megumi, at least to let him know you were back.

The door was unlocked, the wood creaking as you tried to open it quietly, your shoulders sag. 

Being the light sleeper he was, your boyfriend already rolls over, one eye opening slowly, and seeing that it’s you, it closes, before both eyes open quickly, sitting up in a panic.

“___?!” 

“Yes that’s my name?”

At a small pause, as he ends up laying back down one hand rubbing his temple the other keeping something behind him.

“I, for one, thought you’d be much happier seeing me,” You sniff, “But fine, I can just leave your gift to Gojo-sensei.”

“No, no, it’s not that,” He yawns slightly, “I just, I had a plan you know? I didn’t expect you to be back until tomorrow, or today rather.”

You shrug, “Yeah, me too.”

Megumi doesn’t meet your eyes, so you move to sit at the edge of the bed, peering down.

Only to realize that the reason he wasn’t looking at you, was so that you didn’t see the flush on his face. As his hand brings what he was hiding. 

Something with yarn? You take the gift gingerly from his hands. Warm and soft, since he had accidentally fallen asleep after making it. 

While sure, some loops here and there were slightly different sizes, the fact that he tried to make something for you was far more important.

“This...”

“It’s not the best,” He interrupts, only to rub the back of his neck, “I thought you’d like something more practical so I tried to follow instructions on how to make a scarf with it.” You nod.

But hearing his tone you frown, before wrapping it around your shoulders, looping it one more time. While it was a bit, longer than a normal scarf, to you it didn’t matter. 

“It’s perfect.”

-

extra:

“You know, when I asked Nobara and Yuji about you, they got really shifty you know? I thought something worse had happened.”

At this, an annoyed expression grows on his face, “I just told them I was busy, they’re the ones who wanted to know all about it.”

You laugh, and the annoyance is quick to leave his face. 

“Alright, it’s late, so I’m gonna head back,” You move to stand, but his hand takes hold of your own before you can, “Megumi?”

He looks down at his lap, but you can see hints of red at the tips of his ears, “You can stay, if you want. I can scoot over.”

You smile softly, “Alright, scoot over then.”

@rosanimemuses​ asked:  " Ms. Nevermind, I was looking for you, " he said with a sigh. Jin Kirigiri ,the principal, walked over to Sonia and gave a polite bow. " I haven't given you our holiday card yet. There's a gift certificate inside but I'm not sure if you will have any use for it. "

Unprompted holiday asks - Accepting through December 31!

He didn’t seem out of breath, but the Hope’s Peak principal, to Sonia at least, appeared to be quite tired. She hadn’t made herself all that difficult to find: she’d taken up residence in the cafeteria. In between meals, it was a relatively quiet space that didn’t mind the princess taking a break, streaming the Christmas episode of an anime on her laptop. And while she was perfectly within the rules to do so, the Ultimate Princess didn’t hesitate to immediately close her screen and get to her feet to greet him. Even with permission to relax and dawdle a bit, Sonia felt a bit guilty doing so in front of the school’s headmaster.

“Oh! I apologize, but Yukizome-sensei did not hold our homeroom class today, on account of it being so close to the holiday,” She explained. No lies there, but she felt compelled to make sure he understood. “So I thought I’d complete my assignments early before indulging in some...ah, Japanese culture! That is very important, I believe, whilst I continue to call Japan my temporary home!”

She smiled, her appearance far more confident than she felt inside. Even if she was royalty, he was the one in charge at school and deserved kindness and respect. But it was to Sonia’s surprise when the older man bowed before her and held out a card, one she accepted carefully.

“Thank you so much, kocho sensei!” She replied. She wouldn’t forget her manners: thanking him first before voicing her concerns. “But please, you needn’t bow for me! Unless that is how all students are treated. It’s just that what I’ve seen in dramas and anime, it is the students who bow in greeting to their kocho sensei and not the other way round! So it is only appropriate that I do so as well!”

And she did, a bit lower and for a bit longer than the principal had done for her. But with that cleared up, Sonia could now focus on the other question that befuddled her. Standing straight, she gave him a curious look as she held up the card. “Pardon me sir, but why do you believe that I shall have no use for such a gift?”

GIFTS UNDERNEATH

Vignette #: 2

Disclaimer: One Piece (and its characters) belongs to Eiichiro Oda-sensei.

Reminder: I have no beta-reader. Any grammatical and spelling errors are solely mine.

Warning: OOC possible. One shot.

Rating: M (Suggestive only but still…)

Note: Time for something sexy. Vignette for the ZoNa Holiday 2020 at @zonamievents in Tumblr. December 17 theme: Under the Christmas Tree / Something Red.

Summary: “Want to know what’s your gift for me?”

“Are you looking for your present?”

Nami tilted her head up to gaze at the speaker. She was down on her hands and knees, under the Christmas tree the crew had just put up some hours ago.

“Not really,” Nami grinned. “I might’ve been looking for yours, you know.”

Zoro cocked an eyebrow as he peered down at her. “And why would you do that?”

“I have half the mind to throw them overboard just to spite you.” Nami teasingly winked at him.

He snorted.

She grinned as she continued to rummage at the pile of gifts. She picked up one random box which was decorated with a rather large bow. From the heart-shaped design printed on the ribbon, this one is from Sanji-kun. No doubt about it.

She shook the box lightly, trying to guess what’s inside it.

“That’s cheating you know.”

“Oh shut up,” Nami huffed as she returned the box to the pile. She paused from her search momentarily to admire the beautifully wrapped gifts under their equally, stunning Christmas tree (thanks to her and Robin, of course). It looked really festive and she can’t help but be excited for the gift-giving portion later tonight.

Zoro continued watching her and her antics. With a sigh, he plopped down beside the still crouching navigator.

Nami immediately turned to him. “Hey, you did get the gifts for everyone like I told you to do right?” She narrowed her eyes at him, knowing how he had a nasty habit of excluding himself on some of the crew’s activities.

Like she would let him tonight of all nights!

Zoro yawned and scratched his head. “I did woman! You were with me when I got ‘em, making sure that I actually get them!”

“Ah right. Sorry.” Nami raised one hand in an apologetic gesture. “I forgot I was the one who chose and bought them.”

The swordsman glared at her. “With my own money witch! Right after you got your hand down my pants and robbed me blind.”

Nami giggled as she batted her eyelashes at him. “I don’t recall you complaining earlier Zoro. Pretty sure you didn’t mind my hand in your pants.”

“If you’re gonna steal from me then I damn do!”

She chortled at his crabby expression. “I wasn’t actually stealing Zoro. I told you, I’d keep your money safe for you. And I believe you answered affirmatively…” she stared pointedly at him. “Or was that a moan? It pretty much sounded like you agreed.” Again she winked at him, more saucily this time. “Anyway, if I didn’t then you’d never be able to buy any gifts for us.”

He grunted as he crossed his arms over his chest, scowling.

“Why are you still pouting about it?”

“I am not pouting!”

Still on all fours, Nami crawled towards him and settled on his lap. “Just think of it this way. Your gifts will make your crew very, very happy. And that’s what important right?”

He didn’t answer. Instead, he changed their position so that they were now lying beneath the lighted tree, smartly hidden from anyone who decides to enter the Sunny’s library.

From under him, Nami sniggered.  

His lips quirked up. Towering over her with an arrogant smirk on his face, he closed in and kissed her.

“We’re supposed to kiss under the mistletoe.” She protested against his lips. “Not under the Christmas tree Zoro!”

“I couldn’t care less where,” Zoro grunted as Nami rolled her eyes at him. But she didn’t let go nor pushed him away. Instead she encouraged him more by rubbing herself against him.

“Hey,” she whispered softly, intentionally letting her lips grazed his ear. “Want to know what’s your gift for me?”

Zoro drew back, brows furrowed. When did she have time to buy something that he wasn’t even aware of? He was with her the whole entire afternoon in town!

She smiled cheekily.

“Whatever that is I’m pretty sure you went all out.” Zoro grumbled as she laughed. “My money pouch was pretty much wiped clean.”

“Of course I did! I get the most expensive gift after all.” Nami chortled. “I think I’ll give you a hint though. It’s red.” She hooked an arm around his neck so she can lift herself closer to him. “And I’m already wearing it.” She watched amusedly as his expression changed. “Underneath this.” She added, gesturing at what she was currently wearing.

His grey eye bored through hers intensely. The heat that flared behind it was unmistaken.

“But,” Nami tapped a finger on his lips coquettishly. “Presents are to be unwrapped later tonight, right?”

Red Boy Shadow World          Chapter: Lilac

Judai hibiki is starting his first year at Duel Academy, while he knew he wasn’t the most normal person in the world, this school is whole other league of weirdness! Judai with his friends are gonna have to battle against teachers, fellow students, and even people who really shouldn’t be on school property but here they are nonetheless.

Wait they have to fight Shadow duelists, vengeful duel monsters, an the forces of evil on top of that?!?!?! Sheesh these kids wont be able to catch a break! This can also be red on fanfiction and AO3 under the same names!

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

Shou sighed as looked out the window, the nervousness in his belly made it hard for him to rest on the plane. He still can’t believe he was on the plane at all to be honest, so sure he flunked his exams! But Shous written exam was good, even if his dueling one was lackluster.

Seeing his brother watching him brought up embarrassing memories and made him choke near the end, but he skated through and won. It didn’t help the judging eyes of others when the results were announced and he made it.

“How did that spineless bastard get in?” “Those exams have to be rigged, his brother is the Kaiser! How else when his dueling is abysmal” “It sad to see today's youth riding the coattails of their more successful elders to succeed”

He worked hard damnit! It had nothing to do with his brother. Soon he will prove he is a duelist worthy of people remembering his name and acknowledging his skill-

He was startled out of his thoughts as his plane companion toppled over and started to sleep on his shoulder.

Greeeeaaat.

 Now he’s gonna have to deal with this guy drooling on him the rest of the ride.

Perfect.

Just Perfect.

---

Midori giggled as she saw her brother's untamed bed head as he picked up his uniform from the students at the desk. She was on the stage talking with the other teachers about this year's batch of new students.

"We have some very prospective students already, Miss Tenjoin and Mister Misawa show incredible promise with good grades and good dueling." Professor Kabayama piped up as he recalled the students' duels that he watched with the Chancellor.

"Can't say the same for Kaiser's little brother" Professor Satou commented as he looked disappointed. "His grades are decent, enough to pass, but his dueling was sad and lacked confidence. I expected more from one of the Triple Threats siblings, at the very least not be so lackluster. He might not make it through the year"

An awkward tense silence briefly fell over them at the obvious misslip. 

Midori felt her smile become a bit wooden as she stalked back over to the gossiping ninnies. She relished the fact most of them took steps back.

"Well, that's what we are here for isn't it Professor Satou! To help nature and guide our students to be the best they can be," Her touch on his shoulder was light even as her smile sweetened like tacky honey.

"We would be very sorry excuses for teachers if we couldn't at least do that."

Both of them stared each other down as it got more silent, students were filling into their designated lines. The other teachers shuffling away not wanting to get caught up in this. It was no secret Midori was a bit protective of the White Dorm incident Survivors, that protection also extended to their families.

"Well, then I can say you, yourself is an abysmal teacher Professor Hibiki as your little brother's grades are left much to be desired." A high pitched male voice startled the two and they turned to see Vice-Chancellor Cronos making his way up the steps looking smug and annoyed.

"His dueling is…excellent. I must admit, yet the boy must not have much between his ears for other than that. Average grades in near everything other than English and Physical education of all things!" Midori had a prominent frown on her face before turning into a sly grin

."Ah~ Then I should be grateful that I will be handing over such duties to you, Vice-Chancellor! Truly it seems I was incapable." She bowed and she felt the students confusion and her own colleagues suppressed laughter even from where she was."Clearly, I must learn from your example. I will be watching diligently and taking notes sensei."

"Okay, you two settle down, let's not get into a row in front of the students." Chancellor Samejima walked onto the stage making both Midori and Cronos take their place like scolded children. The two eyed each other with incredible distaste.

Midori scanned the lines again and saw Judai's concerned face, giving him a quick smile of reassurance before all the teacher presented themselves to the school.

"Greetings new students! I, Chancellor Samejima, congratulate you on passing your exams and gaining the fine opportunity in being Welcomed to Duel Academy." He smiled over the sea of students with a proud look on his face, already seeing their potential for future roles in the Dueling world.

"You only have one foot in the door, to make to the other end takes diligence."

Asuka straightened her back once the speech began, her stern expression covering the smile that was threatening to break through.

"Curiosity." Daichi smiled looking excited, his eyes alight with his mind working at full force, never seeming to rest.

"Ambition." Manjoume smirked crossing his arms with a cocky look on his face, his future all but assured to him.

"Motivation." Shou had a determined look on his face as he clenched his fists, a need to prove to himself and everyone else what he was made of.

"And important of all Passion-"The Chancellor was cut short by an exclamation of what he could only assume was an ordering attack. Everyone turned to see the Oriris red student Judai who looked as if he woke up from

a nap of all things.

Midori was going to kill him later,

she didn't need to turn to know Cronos' had smug expression crossing his face.

Chancellor Samejima blinked in surprise before letting out a joyful bellow. "I seem to be losing some of your attention well anyways, Let's all take a step forward to a New Beginning, a New Destiny, a New Change, and New Future. You are all dismissed to explore the island and your new dorms. Your schedules and information will be on your Academy devices."

With that, the doors opened letting the students go for their first day of the next three years of their lives.

------

Judai was running.

The moment he saw Midori's face he knew he was so fucked and booked it the first chance he got. He didn't mean to fall asleep! He blamed Miho and setting his alarm so early to trick him into waking up earlier!

He could see the front entrance, just a few more steps and then freedom-

A squeaky yell and his own surprised yelped, both boys hit the ground with a tangle of limbs.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry-"

"No please it was my fault-"

"Let me just move leg-"

“Ow, my arm!" "Sorry!"

They finally managed to detangle themselves and separated to prevent another scenario of this embarrassing incident. Judai turned to see a short boy with the wildest light blue hair rubbing his sore bottom. He was wearing a red uniform like his and Judai lit up like a Christmas tree at meeting a fellow dorm member.

"Oh hey, your in Osiris red like me!"

"Ah, so it seems, sorry about that I hadn't seen where I was going." The boy got up and held out his hand helping Judai up.

"I'm Judai, Hibiki Judai, Do you want to find the dorms with me?”

"Oh um sure." The boy startled back as if he wasn't used to friendly people, he looked confused to be honest and a little wary.

Then again his sister said he comes off too strong sometimes, maybe he should dial it back a little?

"Mine name is Shou, Marufuji Shou." He was a very meek boy, with hunched shoulders and always slightly bowed head. Polite too.

"...Wait...Hibiki?

As in Professor Hibiki!?

" Shou looked thunderstruck which, to be honest, makes sense, Midori made it a point to reveal as little of her home life to people as possible. Even when she was dueling she was a private person, her words were as far as she was concerned 'None of their damn business!”

"Eyup! She's my big sister," Judai gave a him a peace sign, his sister while terrifying, he was incredibly proud to be her little brother. She was mature, organized, and role model for a lot of people including himself.  As well as his big brother.

"EEHHHH?!"

-

Ryo looked at his computer screen, a hint of a smile on his face as he noticed the two names on the list of first years.

He was glad they got in, and while his brother may not know it(

or want to

), he is proud that he got in under his own work and effort. He remembered the breaks when he returned home to see him practicing hard and the sheer amount of books littered on the floor as he studied.

It may not be the best start but he knows his brother won't give up. Ryo can't wait to see what he will accomplish.

Focusing on the other name made Ryo smile sadder.

She was already making talks with her amazing grades and skills, it made his heart fill with pride as he recalled her duel. Truly she will be something terrifying once she settles in this environment in duel academy is the perfect arena to sharpen her abilities.

Fubuki if only you could see her now….

Yuru Camp△ 2 – 06 – Ice Station Yamanaka

Their dreams of cape camping dashed, Chiaki, Aoi and Ena set up their two tents and their tarp as close to it as they dare, then break out their brand-new (and IMO somewhat overpriced) camp chairs. Chiaki opted for the two-chair set-up to a lighter hammock.

A group of hobbyists are flying RC planes over the lake, while they’re visited by a friendly Corgi named Choko (named after the cup in which you drink sake) and his owner. The girls aren’t alone on this cape, and that proves to be of vital importance to their very survival later on.

But first, this trip starts out like many others we’ve seen before; with the participants basking in the beauty of their natural surroundings and bracing themselves against the cold with blankets and something warm to drink. For the latter Chiaki whips up some delectable non-alcoholic hot buttered rum, the recipe for which she got from a co-worker.

While Chiaki demonstrates she can be an angel when she offers one of her two chairs to the chairless Ena, she also shows she’s got a devilish side when she sends a picture of them relaxing to Rin back home. Rin is airing out her bag and cleaning her grill—all the maintenance required to keep your gear in ship shape. Chiaki’s photo puts a smile on Rin’s face, but it quickly turns to a look of concern as she checks that night’s low temperatures at Lake Yamanaka.

At the very end of every episode we’ve been told the same message: It gets cold during the winter. Stay warm and be well-prepared! No duh, right? Except that there’s cold, and then there’s COLD. At 4:30PM, before the sun even goes down, it’s already two below (28° F), and all three girls’ phones’ batteries die due to the cold.

It wasn’t anywhere near as cold in Asagiri for their Christmas Camping, but that was over 1,300 feet lower elevation! And it’s only going to get colder. Chiaki curses herself for not checking the weather forecast, and it would seem like the Outclub got “a little in over their heads” once they started getting all gung-ho about winter camping.

Still, the three come up with an emergency plan to stay warm through the night: build a fire and cook the hot pot to warm themselves up, then pile into one tent with every blanket and coat piled on top of them. Aoi and Ena don’t have the heavy-duty hand warmers, so Chiaki volunteers to run to the konbini to buy more, as well as some cardboard for insulation.

But the plan soon falls apart when Aoi and Ena arrive at the administration building to find the manager has already locked up and is driving off. Unable to buy or even access proper firewood, the two search for twigs, only to find the ground completely immaculate! With the sun fully down and the temperatures dropping fast, things look grim…but for the grace of their fellow camper and owner of Choko.

By the time Chiaki returns from her odyssey to the konbini and back, their campsite is worryingly abandoned. Then she’s called to the dog lady’s big teepee-style tent, which is both blessedly warm due to the continuously-burning wood stove, and large enough to accommodate the three girls. The lady and who I presume to be her dad are even preparing their own hot pot.

The dad may say with a laugh that the girls would have been “goners” if left out there, but he’s not wrong. Toba-sensei ends up showing up to check on them, and while looking in their tents gets the shit scared out of her when Chiaki sneaks up on her. As she explains, Rin notified her of their plans to camp at Lake Yamanaka, where the temps get down to 15 below (just 5° F!), and weren’t answering their phones.

Toba-sensei puts on her Adult hat and firmly scolds the girls over the seriousness of their error. The greatly varying elevation means drastically varying temperatures and unpredictable shifts—stand on a mountain any time of day and you’ll learn that quick! Furthermore, their gear is woefully inadequate for even a normal Lake Yamanaka winter.

She impresses upon them the absolute necessity of thoroughly researching their campsite and preparing accordingly. The girls bow in tearful apology, but Toba-sensei is also sorry, for while she knew the three of them were camping, she didn’t ask where. From now on the must be sure to talk to each other about where they’re camping.

With all that settled, the dad/(or husband?) invites Toba-sensei to join him in imbibing a big bottle of sake—the good stuff from the store they own in Itou. Within minutes, Serious Adult Toba-sensei devolves into Drunk Toba-chan. Then they prepare their two batches of hot pot: both motsu and kiritanpo. A magnificent feast ensues within the toasty tent.

Toba-sensei is too drunk to drive, so she and the girls spend the night in her Hustler with the heat on. I once thought this was a bad idea, but only if your car is parked on ice! Turns out as long as your car’s battery and alternator are in good working order, as long as you’ve got gas in the tank you’ve got a warm car to sleep in. And it’s not like they had another option in this instance!

Just prior to sunrise, Ena is the first to wake up—quite uncharacteristic for the girl they’ve always cut to in the past curled up in her bed with her pup well into the late morning. She’s soon joined by Aoi and Chiaki, and their reward for braving the outside is another truly majestic sunrise complete with soaring orchestral score, which as by now become a Yuru Camp specialty.

Once Toba greets the morning, Ena gets to work on tempura smelts for breakfast. Ena snaps a photo with her newly car-charged phone, and all three girls send Rin their heartfelt thanks for worrying about them. Chiaki adds that she’ll never forget this, and Rin immediately cashes in by playfully warning them they’d better have gifts for her from Lake Yamanaka!

While cleaning her trusty but lately quite dingy moped, Rin gets a call from Nadeshiko, who just got off work, and voices her intent to try solo camping like the kind Rin does. Whether this leads to her trip to Lake Motosu in which Rin and Nade end up soloing at the same place (the epilogue of the first season) or a different, truly solo trip, we shall see.

But yeah, this week Yuru Camp got real with us, showing how quickly laid-back can become life-threatening! Winter camping can be wonderful, but it is not for the ill-prepared. No doubt Chiaki, Aoi, and Rin learned their lesson, and between doing their research and maintaining clear communication, they’ll be ready for their next excursion in the cold.

IC

FULL NAME: Lukas Bondevik

AGE / YEAR: 23 years old, year 4

GENDER / PRONOUNS: He/His/Him

APPEARANCE: Lukas has short, light blond hair and dull blue eyes. He wears mostly blue or grey outfits. He dresses rather formally. He sports a Nordic Cross barrette in his hair, and has a detached hair curlbeside his head. At 5’7’ ½ Lukas is in the average, but a little small for a guy his age. Light blond hair, he has very pale white skin and cute little apple cheeks. Almost invisible freckles on his nose. Beauty marks are rarely seen on his body, but he has a lot of them. He has an average looking body, he wears very formal and attractive clothes. He mostly dresses in grey or dark blue colours. Doesn’t show many emotions. Not very talkative.

PERSONALITY: Lukas is a quietand mysterious man of few words and expressions, and is reclusive from the everyday world. He is also curious but difficult to read and he is hard-working. He doesn’t like people in general. The only people he gets along with are his family. Honestly just shy around them. He is a dork, loves his brother more than anything and he doesn’t like to have his picture taken. He is secretly excited for Christmas every year. Sort of aloof. Puts others needs before his own though. He can be jealous..

SKILLS: 

Chess player : He is very smart and strategic. He didn’t lose all that often when he would play against other kids.

Baker : He had to cook for himself as a child growing up without a mother around, so he picked up a few tricks. He has a lot of cook books. 

Dancer : He mostly does ballet, but lately got interested in American rhythm.

FLAWS: 

Anti-social (introvert) : He is not good with strangers, he doesn’t know how to interact outside of class. 

pessimism : He is smart, so he sees and understand things that make the world as it is, he finds it hard to be optimistic at times. 

depression : He suffers from depression and mostly get depressed around winter.

BACKSTORY: As a kid, Lukas grew with his brother and mother. He never knew his father and had to raise is little brother for most of his life. Once their mother passed away from a sickness, Lukas took responsibility for everything around the house. He took care of the chores, of his brother, of food and laundry… he had to. Because of this, Lukas has had a big insecurity of loosing his brother. Lukas’ life was cut in half, from home and school. Especially in middle school, he had to try to go through each day taking care of his brother and doing his own homework. His grades weren’t bad, but he still didn’t have enough time to concentrate on himself. He never learnt to take care of his health. Sometimes he would go without food for a whole day. Not because he didn’t have any money, but simply because he would forget or think about his little brother first. The money came from their uncle and aunt. They would come over and help them out with the house, though they couldn’t have them at their place for obvious reasons. Although, they never knew that Lukas could be so smart and take care of every single thing. Soon he got a job, went to college and handled things a lot better. 

Now, Lukas has learnt to hide his emotions, due to his brother always being concerned when he cried. He doesn’t want people to feel bad for him or pity. He follows a strict routine, he made himself, and tries to avoid in getting involved in anything that might be a problem. He plays chess with some of his teammates during lunchtime if he has the time. Sometimes he and his brother get into fights. He always tries to be as fair as possible but without a real mother at home, it can be a hard role, playing both the mother and big brother. He tries to get along with his classmates and teachers. But doesn’t interact with them, even the teachers, unless really necessary.

All the dennor headcanons are my favourites.

Also I believe that Norway is insomniac.

WRITING SAMPLE: (From a fanfic i’m working on.)

{What a pain…}

“Hi… um Sensei. I’m Sakura Haruno and i will be learning under you.” He was met with a respectful bow. He froze in place as he saw the beautiful unusual pink hair colour. He couldn’t see her face yet but felt something pleasant coming from her. Like a pink rose. 

{Is it the smell of her perfume?}

“Tch. I don’t recall asking for your name brat.” He said as his foul expression changed into an emotionless one. She flinched at this, even though she had been warned by every passing officer and the two detectives in the station, she was still caught by surprise. 

“Well… I was just being formal with you-” She repositioned herself. She was met by a finger directed to her lips to shut up. He was looking at his computer. She looked over annoyed to see what was more important then a formal introduction. 

{That’s it. I found the fucker. The DNA tests were a match.}

“Um excuse me but can I at least know what i’m going to do?” She saw it looked important and didn’t want to be in the way. 

“Leave.”

“Pardon me?”

“You can leave.” He turned to face her and showed her the door with the same finger. He started to walk to the lieutenant when she stopped him. 

“NO!” He flinched and looked over his shoulder slightly, still emotionless.

“What?” She glared daggers at him. He smirked and walked to her. He got closer and closer until finally…

{What a feisty little brat. Well no one ever talked back to me before… this is certainly interesting.}

“Um…Wha-” Sakura was stuck between the wall and him. She started to regret what she had said and looked in the other direction to find stares coming from the other door’s window. They were all amazed and hoping for something interesting to happen. His dark creepy grin grew wider and leaned close to her face until she started to sweat from fear. 

“I’m Sasori Akasuna.” He said in a husky voice. Almost hushed. “I’ll teach you something right now…” His expression changed immediately and sent a shiver down Sakura’s spine. “Don’t ever talk back to me again.” He gave her one last glare then walked off to Shizune’s office with a chuckle.
