HAPPY NEWONDERHOY YEAR 🍡

[miraculous-showtime]

[quackle]

emu had a lot of fun with her grandpa in her fragment sekai. but then she processed that it wasn't actually real and then she cried......... :(

[apotelesmaa]

I find it incredibly funny that emu and rui are made out to be the most academically talented out of the wxs unit given that they both also need to be babysat anytime the group goes out in public. Their boundless intelligence and unending whimsy is matched only by their need to get sillay.

[39raccoons]

Shuffle units are really fun so here’s mine!

Formed by Emu and Mizuki, this group of bright personalities has its ultimate goal to cheer people up and support them through tough time with their music 🌸

Honami is the main composer, Emu and Minori are responsible for lyrics and performances and Mizuki deals with all the design things

[murmurmurl]

quick silly little emunene sketch

They're having a movie night :3

[demodraws0606]

You know I think there is something interesting to say in terms of where the fuck WxS is going because like

I think WxS is the only unit where the end goal or overall progression is probably the most unknown out of all of them ???

MMJ and VBS are extremely obvious, they both have the most explicit goals that are said to us in a straightforward way

25-ji, in the end we know the main goal at the end will be for all of the characters to go over their hurdles with Mafuyu finally being able to find herself and move forward

Leo/need is probably the closest in terms of vagueness but we know the end goal is clear for them to grow as a band, probably ending in a big concert or something along those lines

But with WxS...like I guess the closest thing I can see to an end goal is all of WxS preparing a show together with everyone playing their part but that definitely doesn't feel like something you'd build up for an entire arc and definitely not something that feels fitting after the emotional turmoil that was the disbandement arc ???

In terms of physical achievements as well they literally revived an entire parc through one gigantic show, so it just comes into question what they can do now.

Then you look at their first few event for this arc considering usually the first event kinda set up what will be planned for the future but it's...weird.

Yeah, Tsukasa and Rui's events set up they're inexperienced and how they will grow in the future but also there is this weird feeling of something feeling off ?

The plays/scripts all are strangely depressing, the play in Tsukasa's event being about a failed writer planning to drown himself (which I believe is one of the only undeniable explicit description of suicide ever in the game?????) and the second being someone whose given up on life meeting their estranged sister only for her to become ill.

We even have Emu's side story in Rui's event where they watched the movie Rin was watching during the event made by the same producer and Emu herself note how depressing the story is (meanwhile the main character of the movie clearly parallels Rui)

We don't see the conclusion of these in-game stories as well, lingering on their worst moment never really seeing the presumably happy conclusion.

THEN we also have Emukasa fes which....again strangely different in tone from what you'd expect a WxS fes card, they're not really all that conclusive either. Tsukasa never aknowledges how he relates to the brother in the story and Emu doesn't really get a conclusion on her grief.

Then we also have Rui's entire fuckign event with the cards and his cyberpunk deadbo-YOU SEE WHAT IM SAYING

The closest we fucking have to knowing what WxS's fucking endgoal towards the story is, is fucking WL which....TELLS US NOTHING

At least with VBS we know that they're goal is to go even further beyond and conquer the whole world, that is a developpement of their goal.

What I'm saying is I don't know what the fuck colorpalet is cooking wiht WxS but I feel like i'm a fucking twilight zone reading the way they're writing WxS now because I can't be the only one feeling insane at how weird all of this is

[comfied-chriterature]

WAHAHAHA!!

Emukasa from Instaaaaaaaaaa 💖 (made for EMKS week 2023 hosted by @emukasaz) guys I love them so much I adore them I’m obsessed with them I just want them to be happy and be together forever akajkqjqkqqojwojqoa 🩷💛

Also!!! The same image, but a bit more NEOn

[aroacewxs]

im learning how to drive after delaying it for months and i hate it, so i will now be imagining what it would be like for wxs to drive a Car to cope

to start off, emu would pass the written test with FLYING COLOURS first try. rui too. tsukasa and nene both fail the first time but pass the second time but for different reasons. tsukasa would cram everything while he's in the waiting room and fail miserably. nene studied her ass off before the test, but the randomized questions would all be ones she hadn't heard of before and would miss it by a mark.. (me).

as for driving the actual car,,, i think rui is more successful in understanding how the car works than actually taking it out for a ride on the highway. maybe he'll get around to driving YEARS later but for now he feels most comfortable in the passenger/back seat tormenting the driver with whatever he decides to say.

emu and tsukasa would actually be pretty decent from the get go but they cannot park straight for their lives. tsukasa would be all "HAHA! HOW'S THAT FOR A STAR'S PARKING JOB" and it would be so fucking crooked rui has to stifle a giggle. nene would never let him live it down so he spends HOURS in an empty parking lot at night trying to park properly. eventually he gets the hang of it.

nene on the other hand would be petrified and paralyzed with anxiety for the first few times she drives, but would slowly get the hang of it as she makes it a part of her routine. a very very careful driver.

tsukasa: NENE! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!! IT IS YOU BEHIND THE WHEEL! YOU CONTROL THE CAR, THE CAR DOESN'T CONTROL YOU! PLUS, YOU CANNOT DRIVE WHILE FEELING AFRAID, THAT COULD BE A POTENTIAL DANGER TO-

nene, with shaking hands gripping the wheel: can you please just shut the fuck up

[uraniumnm333]

*kills you with my polysho*

anyways. i think polysho the type of people to play dnd but evil. like every session they change the dungeon master and it's wacky bc you'll go from "we need to save the princess !!" [tsukasa's turn to DM] to "the princess is the evil mastermind. robots !!!" [emu's turn to DM]

they're the type of people who have like a closet just fucking FILLED with board games because of course they do. and all the games are fucking ancient half of them have missing pieces that are replaced with. the weirdest shit. emu and rui made their own candyland board after the old one just fell apart and it's 10x harder than normal candycrush because it covers the entire dining table. it is at least 3ft across and there's several new mechanics added.

and they have game night one night, yknow probably invite like mizuki akito and saki and the three of them are fucking horrified. because these people have made up rules that are so sick and convoluted that nobody else can understand them !!! and saki's like "oh, you guys have like chess right ??? tsukasa knows how to play and so do i !!!"

and they bring out chess but it is Not Chess. it is an evil combination of chess, checkers, yahtzee, turn-based card game, and clue. and tsukasa shows how he and rui play (because of course they play chess). and then wxs is never allowed to host game night again :skull:

[asiandra-dash]

Hii 🫡 can I request a emu otori headcanons to eat jom nom

Yes!!!! I actually never really thought about any headcanons for Emu, so this got me thinking :0

Also there is no organization I just wrote down anything that came to mind I'm sorry about the mess

The symbols in Emu's dialogue when she talks are used in the same way when she texts, but they confuse Tsukasa. Will he say anything about it? No.

She also uses emoticons at the end of her texts a lot °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Whenever WxS has a rehearsal, she always brings snacks to share.

Emu loves watching children's shows! Her favorite characters are Pinkie Pie and Bluey.

She plays Roblox obbys and tycoons a lot.

She is practically immune to sickness. You could count the number of times she's been sick on one hand.

Somehow, Emu will always have a stash of candy on her. If you ask her for something to eat she will magically produce a piece of candy out of nowhere.

She eats chewy candy a lot because if she doesn't she will find something else to chew on.

Sometimes Emu cuts her bangs. It went really badly at first but she eventually managed to get it. She still doesn't cut all her hair herself though, she doesn't trust herself to not mess up the back of her hair (Unrelated to PJSK but it'll probably look as bad as Xingqiu's hair I'm so sorry-)

Emu loves children's coloring books and uses crayons!!

She also draws with crayons sometimes, though she usually uses a colored pen.

SPEAKING OF COLORED PENS!!! If she's not zoning out in class and actually takes notes they're SUPER colorful and has doodles all over them! Kind of similar to sketch notes or two page spreads (I literally do not know the difference but according to my English teacher there is)

She has those glow in the dark stars on the ceiling of her room and a few on her walls.

She used to have braces.

She sometimes pulls her shirt over her knees when sitting on the floor. Anyone around her has to watch her closely when she does that in case she suddenly jumps up and loses her balance because of it.

I can't decide if Emu has a high or low spice tolerance

Aahhhhhhh I would write more but I'm tired, it's midnight, and I have 26 vocabulary words to go over before school I'm gonna finish my dumb homework and head to bed but anyways thanks for asking!! I had a lot of fun coming up with headcanons for a character I didn't have much for!!! ^^

the star you've longed for

[wonderland-x-showtime]

RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS WITH THE WONDERLAND X SHOWTIME TROUPE!

a little bored so i made this on my own!! hope u enjoy!!

TENMA TSUKASA (天馬司)

while TSUKASA is extremely confident and charismatic, that doesn’t change the fact that he loves you! he won’t be afraid to show you off to the world to let everyone know that you’ve captured the heart of a future star, much to your embarrassment. you inspire him. he wants you to attend many of his shows, but understands if you’re busy that day, he’ll just bring the show to you!

despite his charisma and confidence, he is a really sweet guy. he’ll offer to buy you lunch, win you that stuffed animal in one of the games at Phoenix Wonderland no matter how much he loses, and he’ll do anything for you! and of course, SAKI really likes you! you’d have to be on her good side (which is very easy) if you want TSUKASA to like you even more.

he tries to not show that he’s really sad around you, as he doesn’t want to worry you. when your relationship with him has been up to a year or so, he can drop the confidence and show you how insecure he really feels, how he wants to be great at acting even if he already is. he might need a bit of validation from you, and it makes him feel much better if you do.

to sum it up, TSUKASA is a great boyfriend to have. you might have to deal with the many times he shows you off to his friends and troupe, but he simply loves you! if it does get uncomfortable for you, he can stop of course. he respects your boundaries like the true gentleman he is!

OTORI EMU (鳳えむ)

WONDERHOY ☆! EMU is the literal definition of a ball of sunshine and glitter, so when you have a girlfriend like her, your relationship will never ever get boring! if you two attend the same school, she’ll always be the one to greet you first with a surprise greeting like her famous catchphrase, "WONDERHOY ☆!" if you attend a different school, get ready to see EMU during lunch to surprise you!

EMU is determined to always make you smile no matter what. she loves making people smile, because it makes her smile! she’ll do anything to get you to smile, and even asks for some help from her troupe. she will immediately know if your smile is fake, so she’ll do anything silly in front of you just to see your real smile! she’s persistent as well, so don’t expect her to give up so soon!

just like many other people, EMU is kind of going through her own problems, like her grandfathers passing. of course, she doesn’t want you to see her sad, so she always puts up a smile in front of you. when you do get closer, she will cry eventually and wants your comfort. she would also comfort you if you were sad! if you’re not in the mood to see anything silly from her, she understands and tries to be more quieter

in short, having a relationship with EMU is super fun and exciting! she always tries to look for you in the audience crowd when it’s almost time for the show to start and gets more giddy when she does! a date with her is sure to be fun and adventurous! your smile is her favorite smile in the entire world.

KUSANAGI NENE (草薙寧々)

although she’s not as extroverted like EMU is and as loud like TSUKASA is, NENE is a very calming person to be around. if you want a calm and comfortable relationship, NENE is your best bet. if the two of you like video games, that’s great! she would always invite you over to play with her. she loves fighting games, so she wants to kick your butt at them. she doesn’t mind that you like more calmer and non-fighting games though, she’ll play them.

she’s not one to start a conversation sometimes, so you might need to do the talking. although if you don’t like to talk, there’s always comfortable silence… along with the sound effects coming from NENE’s game. but if you’re extroverted and would rather go outside, NENE would be a bit reluctant but would join you anyway. she is very easy to get flustered when the two of you are alone.

for dates, she’d prefer if it was indoors, but wouldn’t mind if it was outside. she’d love movie nights, because she can recommend good movies to watch since she’s in the film club. there would also be some dates where you two you just play any time of game, mostly fighting games, with each other and see who wins. she’s not great at physical contact, though, it always makes her embarrassed.

in conclusion, NENE would be a great girlfriend if you like calm and quiet relationships. sometimes there will be a bit of chaos, but that’s only coming from her troupe. she would be VERY embarrassed if you met the others, but deep down she would appreciate it if you still liked them. she hopes you would attend the shows, especially if she gets the lead role.

KAMISHIRO RUI (神代類)

oh boy. having a relationship with RUI wouldn’t as chaotic or energetic as TSUKASA or EMU’s, it’s not as peaceful or calming as NENE’s. RUI is a laid-back guy, so maybe there’s a chance for some peace and quiet.. until he has ideas for many inventions, that’s when the peace is gone. he’s an eccentric guy, classified as a 'weirdo' in school, so how did you fall in love with this man?

you’re not really safe from being in this relationship by the way, he would love to test one of his inventions on you! of course, if they are even a little risky, he leaves TSUKASA to do the testing for you. deep down, he would hate himself greatly if you got injured from one of his inventions, knowing that it was his own fault for being selfish enough to ask you to test it out… of course, that’ll never happen, right?

RUI has deep insecurities he wouldn’t want to share with you, unless the two of you are really .. really super close. his main one is that you might’ve just ruined your social reputation at school by going out with him. he loves you, but feels like you deserve so much better than a weird guy like him. of course, you’ll always love him no matter what right? he’s grateful for that.

to summarize, a relationship with RUI wouldn’t be too chaotic.. but not too peaceful. of course, there are times he would tease you lightheartedly about anything, but he wouldn’t tease you about something that’s really personal to you. he’s very caring and understanding deep down under all that eccentric and that neurodivergent mind of his. if you have any interests that are considered weird to others, RUI would be very interested instead, and let you info-dump all about it to him.

[wabatle]

Hiii! Can I request Rui, Tsukasa, Emu and Ena with a reader that is a big fan of theme parks and rollercoasters (especially if they're well themed) And their dream is to make a theme park trip through North America when they're finished with school? Thanks!!!

☆~Rui, Tsukasa, Emu, and Ena with an s/o that loves theme parks

(wa)batle nonsense (author's note):

I totally forgot about the North America part, but I rushed and added it in, so sorry if it's inaccurate

warnings: none/all fluff

☆~Rui Kamishiro

He just finds it so cute

Being that he performs in a theme park, any second he’s free he’s spending it running around with you

He’ll also research different theme parks nearby to broaden your horizon

 Rui also loves riding roller coasters with you because he loves to see the happiness on your face

 If you live together, be prepared to start helping him build your own personal roller coaster in the backyard

He’ll definitely help you achieve your dream and would love to accompany you

☆~Tsukasa Tenma

You two very rarely have dates that aren’t at some kind of amusement park

He loves running around and being a fool with you

He has the goofiest scream when you ride roller coasters together

He also buys you any candy of sweets you want at all

Tsukasa loves that you love theme parks because he performs at one, so just like Rui he’ll spend every minute of free time he gets with you

absolutely THRILLED that you want to travel to find theme parks, so he’ll work even harder to help you and become a WORLD STAR!!

☆~Emu Otori

You match her energy perfectly!!

Emu also loves amusement parks, so you probably go to them every weekend!

She’s SUPER happy you two have something in common, and she’ll always make sure you’re at her shows so that way you can go run around afterward

She also probably tells her brothers all about you and how happy you make her

100% you also participate in carnival games

Now that she’s learned that you want to travel, she does too! Especially if you’re going to travel with her!

☆~Ena Shinonome

She finds it adorable, no question

How whenever you go on a date to an amusement park together you look like a kid in a candy store

Ena is honestly thinking about trying to get a job there just because you look so cute when you run around

She’ll never admit that to your face though

She tries to illustrate the feelings she experiences when you’re together and it’s probably colorful

I would like to think she also enjoys the thrill of riding a roller coaster, so Ena would be more than happy to ride one with you

She laughs a little bit when you tell her about your dream, but once she realizes you’re serious, she’ll give you a little funds every month to help you raise money to travel

She expects a plane ticket too

Fic Under The Cut!

┗━•❃°•°❀°•°❃•━┛

It was Valentine's Day, a day of love, appreciation, and happiness. Everyone at Kamiyama High School in Class 2-A was tasked with writing a letter to who they loved and appreciated the most, and what they loved or liked about them.

As they were promptly shared with the class, everybody was waiting patiently for their name to be said by the other students. This also included Nene, who had been waiting the entire class to hear her name. Despite her kindness towards the other students, her name was not called by anybody.

Nene listened to the pleasantly embarrassed laughs and appreciative coos from the recipients. They hid their faces in their hands, smiled wobbly smiles, and put their hands on their hearts with tearful faces.

Nene awaited her turn for the burst of surprise, giddiness, gratitude at hearing her name from someone else’s mouth. It never came.

Maybe she shouldn’t have expected anything. She was kind, sure, but she was no one’s best friend. She shouldn’t mind. She understood. Maybe she didn’t want that extra attention anyway.

Still, in her lonely desk in the corner, Nene felt her heart sag.

After the bell rang to mark the end of class, Nene was nowhere to be seen. She had run out of school at the end of the day, not caring who saw her as she waited until the right moment alone to enter the Wonderland SEKAI.

Miku and KAITO, who had been working together on a show idea for Tsukasa and the others, noticed Nene enter. Something, however, was off about the grayish-green haired girl. The two vocaloids realized that Nene wasn't feeling her best, but before they could ask about it, she'd run off to hide.

Nene didn’t know how long she’d spent curled up backstage of the theatre, before she heard a bright and bubbly but concerned voice through the curtain.

“Nene-chan? Nene-chan, please come out!”

Slowly, she peeled her head from the wall.

“NENE! WHERE ARE YOU HIDING!”

Ah, and that earth-quaking volume…

“Perhaps she’s behind the stage?”

And the most familiar voice of all.

Wiping her eyes with her sleeve, Nene called pitifully, “I’m here…”

Her sore eyes beheld a ball of pink bouncing into the lightless hollow. She gasped and was at Nene’s side in a flash.

“Nene! What’s wrong? My sadness senses were tingling, and then Miku went ‘Brrrrrrrllllll— brrrrrrrlllll—’ which meant someone was lost in Sekai!!” Emu threw herself around Nene, who could only hiccup in protest.

Nene felt so bad about burdening the others with her bad mood, but nothing could really come out. Finally, in tears, she'd speak in a quavering tone, her voice breaking and cracking. "S-Sorry....I-I'm sorry...I-I didn't mean to w-worry anybody...I-I just..."

"Nene-chan..." Emu held her tightly, rubbing her weeping partner's back gently as she let Nene express her current emotions to the three of them. Nene would sniffle, squeezing her eyes shut when she felt Rui gently stroke her hair with his fingers.

“Nene,” Rui called lowly, voice soothing and gentle as milk. At that one word, a dam broke within Nene’s chest.

Sobbing, Nene buried her face in Emu’s pink sweater. “It’s really not that big of a deal. I-I think… I’m just being dramatic.”

“Nonsense!” Tsukasa, who had been quietly panicking as soon as he saw her crying, nestled into her other side. His star-like warmth was like a plush, constellation-patterned blanket. “You’re never dramatic! Even I would be upset if no one thought of writing for me.”

“You can be honest with us, Nene.” Rui pulled his fingers through her hair again, a massaging tug on her scalp. Emu rubbed her cheek against her head.

Nene let Tsukasa pull her legs into his lap. “Maybe there’s just nothing to say about me… Nothing to-” Nene swallowed. She didn’t want to voice her thoughts, but she’d promised to be honest. “Nothing to love…”

Nene buried her face into Emu's shoulder once more out of shame, scared of what her partners would think. To her surprise, however, they showed her nothing but absolute kindness, Emu leaning her head slightly to kiss Nene's cheeks, Tsukasa rubbing her back, and Rui knelt down to hold her hand and massage her shoulders.

"Nene, you don't have to deal with this alone, y'know that, right?" Rui would ask softly, his fingertips gently tapping and drumming on her shoulders. "Yeah, Nene-chan! You know that whoever said that there wasn't anything to love or write about you is wrong, right? They're just jealous of you!" Emu pouted softly as she planted many tiny kisses all over Nene's forehead, nose, and cheeks.

Nene would reluctantly nod to their questions, still feeling down in the dumps about today. She didn't know what to do in order to feel better, so she'd just listen to her partners soothe her hurting pains, and comfort her.

Rui hummed, sensing that Nene still didn’t quite believe them. “There’s plenty of things to love about you, that we love about you.” Rui leaned over to nuzzle into her cheek.

His feather-like breaths and kisses pushed Nene to squirm away and giggle. As she shoved at Rui’s head, he chuckled.

“For example, your cute little laugh.” Rui grinned like a cat. “And your peculiarly ticklish cheeks.”

“Ruhuhuhihi!” Nene whined, finding refuge in Emu’s shoulder. “Stahahap, you meheheanie!”

“I didn’t know your cheeks were ticklish!” Emu’s eyes sparkled in a truly terrifying way. “I’m gonna getcha~! Let’s see that smile we love-love-love so much!”

Emu peppered noisy smooches all over Nene’s skin, even blowing a small raspberry on her blushing cheeks. Nene squealed and ducked away. “AhaEHEmuhuhu!”

“Oho? You didn’t know, Emu?” Rui raised an amused brow. “It’s her deepest, darkest secret. Oops!”

“RuihiHIHIhiiii! You traHAhaitor!” Nene managed to land a considerable slap on Rui’s face, and he gasped in offense.

Rui sniffled performatively. “Nene! My dearest friend, how could you?”

“Ah! I see my inventive partners have come up with an answer to our sad Nene plight.” announced Tsukasa, who noticed the drying tears on Nene’s well-kissed cheeks. “Look at that radiant smile! A wonderful muse!”

"Nohohohoo i-it's nohohohohohot!" Nene giggled nervously, covering her face in embarrassment as she tried to move away from her partners. This caused Emu to persist and continue her tickly antics, her fingers gently stroking Nene's cheek in a tingly way.

"Awwweeee~ Nene-chan is so cuteee, it's so wonderhoy~!" Emu exclaimed happily, continuing to stroke Nene's cheeks. The grayish-green haired girl would finally manage to turn away completely, hiding her face with her hands.

“Well, we can’t allow that!” Tsukasa took advantage of Nene’s legs in his lap and skittered his nails over her knees. Nene shrieked and jumped but couldn’t escape his hold. Cheering, Emu bound Nene in a hug and squeezed her like a balloon.

“EHEHEMUhuhu! I caHAHA- TsuKAHASA!”

“You’re so fluffy-fluffy toasty-toasty, Neneeee, I just wanna squeesh you forever!” With exuberance, Emu kneaded Nene’s sides, watching her squirm back and forth and try to kick her legs.

“LEHEhehet mehehe goho! You dAHAdohorks!”

Rui muffled a snicker and teased at the back of Nene’s neck; now she was twisting every which way like a faulty folding chair.

Rui simpered. “Go for her iliac crest!”

“Her what?”

"What's an eye-lii-ack crest?" Mused Emu, who was very curious to know what Rui was talking about. Nene knew exactly where this was going as she flailed her arms about in protest. She'd have no choice but to squeak and hiccup as she spoke through giggle-induced words.

"Nohoho-No! R-Ruhuhuhuhuii! D-Don't tehehell thehehehemmm!"

Tsukasa and Emu couldn't help but wonder what was about to happen, both of them listening intently to Rui. They'd wait for an explanation, curious what has Nene giggling so nervously.

Rui shrugged and decided that showing was better than telling. Slowly, his hands descended, curling into claws, as Nene hugged her knees as close as she could to her chest in defense.

“Dohon’t- Rui! D-Don’t! NohoHOHAHA!”

Rui’s thumbs massaged the top of Nene’s hip. She exploded from her ball and grabbed onto the nearest thing — Tsukasa — to stabilize herself against the ticklish shocks traversing her nerves.

“You remembered what it was, Nene! Such a clever pupil. Isn’t she amazing?” Rui sounded tearfully proud. Desperately, Nene shook her head.

“YOUHUHAHAHA nahaHEHERD! RuhuhuHIHIHI!”

With Rui gently but cruelly digging into one of her worst spots, Tsukasa boldly drawing on and under her knees, and Emu pinching sporadically around her middle, Nene’s face began to ache from how wide she was laughing. Her stomach pretzeled, warm from the giddiness of love and fluster.

"Guysss! We should go over more things we love about Nene-chan! I'll start! I love how red your cheeks and nose get! I love how you hide your cute little smile~! Who's next!

"I also love how softspoken you are when you tease, it's so unexpected to me, but I love those moments nonetheless." Tsukasa would chirp in, gently squeezing her calves every now and then. "And as for me, I love it when you giggle so hard that your nose scrunches up and you end up snorting, and I especially love how cute and tiny your dimples are. Such an adorable sight, is it not~?"

"NohoHOHOHOAhahaha! N-NOHOHOHOhohohot adohohoHOHOHOHORAblehehehehe! IHIHIHIhihit tihihiHIHIHI- NAHAhahahahahahaha!" Nene couldn't finish her words out of embarrassment. She hated saying that she was ticklish. But, unfortunately for her, Rui caught onto this, and teased lovingly out loud to catch Nene off guard.

"Oh? It what, Nene? What are you trying to say? What t-word are you referring to?"

Nene completely combusted, trying to prevent this from happening. "NOHOHOHohohoho! D-DohohohoHOHOHON'T YOHOHOHOUHUhuhuhu dahahaHEHEHEHEARE STAHAhahahart thihihihis!"

"Are you saying touchy~? Or teasy~? Or even tastyyyy~?" Rui grinned widely, knowing exactly what his ass was doing. He was trying to trick Nene, and it was clear that Emu and Tsukasa were both in on this.

"DUHUHUhuhumbahahAHAHAHASS! IHIHIHIhihit tihihiHIHIHIHICKLES!"

Nene immediately tried to cover her mouth, realizing what she had gotten herself into. "W-WahahahaHAHAIHIHIHIT NOHOHOhohoho! DohohoHOHOAHAHAHAN'T!"

“Ticklish, you say~?” Rui’s grin was chilling. “Is that so? Well well well… isn’t that just prrrrecious?”

Suddenly, all the tickling stopped. Nene could only feel the phantom tingles of what had just passed and the force of her lungs heaving in air. But she couldn’t trust it. She knew what was about to happen.

Sweet breath fluttered over her ear. “Aww, you should have told us, Nene~,” Emu whispered. Nene muffled a squeak. Rarely was Emu a menacing presence, but this time, Nene’s heart only pounded in dread.

A finger brushed a slick strand of hair behind her other ear. Nene shivered. “She seems nervous. Isn’t the suspense just killing you?” She never thought she’d fear Tsukasa’s quiet voice.

Someone else was pulling her in. Something warm teased at her neck.

“Doho- don’t. Guys! Plehease! Nonono—“

Shrilling in ticklish laughter, Nene wriggled about to try and get away as Rui planted tickly kisses all over her neck. Giggling along, Emu would scribble her nimble fingers under Nene's armpits as the light tickles got to the poor girl.

All Nene could get out was an "EhehehEHEHEEK! NOHOHOHohohoho!" as she squirmed and flailed about. She was so ticklish, but would never admit to it.

Nene squealed, thrashed, blushed, cried for mercy, and slapped aggressively at Rui’s shoulder and elbowed Emu as best she could.

“WaHAhaHAHAIT NAhaHAT ThEEEEREheHAHA! NoooohOOOOO!”

The sounds of Rui’s lips trembled up to her ear in waves and she crushed Emu’s fingers beneath her upper arm. Tears washed over her eyes and her laughter became so screechy that even Tsukasa was concerned.

He rested his chin and a kiss on Emu’s shoulder and pinched Rui’s cheek. Both of them received the memo and slowed their attack. Rui smoothed the sides of Nene’s shirt. Emu fixed her hair and moved aside to let Nene fall into Tsukasa’s lap. Nene hiccuped on a breath and covered her face, giggles interspersed.

“I’m sorry… to get so sappy on you guys,” Nene slurred.

Smiling, Rui purred, “Nene, we love you when you’re happy. We love you when you’re sad too.” He coaxed her hands away to reveal her pink nose and pursed lips.

Tsukasa cupped her face with a grin that was difficult to take seriously, but cute. “Yes! Your crying face is charming!”

“But when you smile, you’re even more charming! Cuz we know you’re happy.” Emu’s chipper face popped in from the side of her vision.

“Forget it. You guys are sappier than the ending theme of a video game.” And together, they laughed.

A face hidden in her hands, a tearful face, a burst of surprise, giddiness, gratitude.

But mostly embarrassment.
