OK but I absolutely loved this!! like, I know they're friends, we've seen them grow up together, she was with them from the start. but this just shows that their relationship goes beyond just tolerating each other for taijus sake. she's one of his besties, an OG and I loved seeing this validated!

assigning behaviors I've noticed in people to pjsk characters:
tsukasa: writes his name EVERYWHERE. his desk at school has "tsukasa" "tsukasa" "tsukasa" "tsukasa" written all over it, his notebooks too and even his classmates' notebooks (from a classmate)
shizuku: says "oh, madonna!" instead of "oh god" (from my italian grandpa)
saki: tsukasa rides a bike and saki sits on the handlebar & every time they have to stop they fall off but they just get up and go on like nothing's happened (from an old friend)
mizuki: accidentally sends "penis shaped messages" and immediately points it out (me)
Tumblr media
ena: is so fucking done with mizuki's penis messages (my friends)
kanade: "uhh i think I'm forgetting something? oh well it probably wasn't important" hasn't drank water since yesterday (me again)
rui: extremely verbose, to the point where everyone around him thinks he's some sort of philosophical genius but in reality he's just saying dumb shit and articulating it intelligently (my italian grandpa again so sorry)
an: sends her friends "hot milfs in your area" messages pretending to be a bot because silly and immediately gets banned ( @robinoullea literally)
airi: wants to be supportive but types way too quickly ( @robinoullea trying to say "10/10")
Tumblr media
emu: says the most deranged things in roblox chats and manages to not get censored while her friend (nene) can't even go one sentence without "########" ( @harukaisu )
nene, trying to tell tsukasa to reset his roblox avatar because he got stuck: uhhh kill yourself (me) (I'M SO SORRY)
minori: tries to download a pin and accidentally sends it to a random person and dies of embarrassment (everyone. no one is safe from Pinterest's AWFUL interface)
ichika: goes into a store. gets an ingredient. goes back home. goes back. gets an ingredient. goes back home. repeat until she's got everything to make dinner when it's already 11pm (my forgetful mom)
mafuyu: has the most DERANGED dreams I'm not even kidding ( @robinoullea when he had that one dream where he sent me a tiktok meme of Richard Watterson saying the names of popular pornstars with them flashing on screen for a second each. I've cried real tears about this btw)
kohane: has a chicken farm in minecraft but she's so attached to them that she can't kill any of them for food so they just keep reproducing and in turn the server keeps getting laggier. eventually a creeper explodes right next to it and she throws herself off a mountain (me)
haruka: uses the default pfp which is also the pfp that shows when you get blocked by someone. she also turns her phone off often (which causes messages to not get sent until it's on) so minori always panics and sends her messages to make sure she's not blocked (classmate)
akito: makes gagging noises on purpose because it makes ena gag too and get VERY annoyed and he finds it funny (classmate)
toya: unintentionally causes a lot of fights in vbs regarding what the best way to make coffee is (my whole friend group) (except me i do it on purpose)
honami: whenever someone tags her in l/n's group chat she heroically says "who calls for my help?" ( @robinoullea )
shiho: doesn't have the heart to tell honami how funny it is when she does that (not me i always make sure to mention it)

Having a bit of Trouble.
Kalim can’t handle being constantly belittled anymore.
Tsukasa Tenma 🤝 Kalim Al Asim
Tumblr media
It’s night and you’re walking around the school
Yeah yeah, unsafe you know but…you have a magical cat who breathes fire!!!!
And your dragon fae friend who usually join is…ill. (You sent some ice cream to him!!)
Hearing Grim yap about something that Ace did is usually background noise but then it just starts to waver until Grim falls asleep in your arms
Smiling, you continued to walk around the school
You got to the famous seven statues and heard the strangest sound…
A sniffle coming from one of them
Was it a ghost? You weren’t afraid no, after all, they literally lived in Ramshackle with you and after what happened with Eliza, you couldn’t care less anymore
You stepped quietly towards the source
The statue of the Sorcerer of Sands…?
Standing there, you stared at the statue
It didn’t seem to be cr—
And then you hear a sniffle
“Why…Hic!…why am I so so dumb…?”
…wait. You knew that voice
You went behind the statue to see your boyfriend sitting in a fetal position against the statue, not noticing you standing there
“Sorcerer of t-the Sands…I probably m-made you so haha…disappointed.”
A sniffle.
“What good am I? The only person who I thought was my best friend…hated me. I need him to do everything, even my own job as a housewarden, and I can’t even cook or clean properly. I have low grades in everything but music and math while he just excels in everything. Everyone in the dorm probably likes him more than me. I’m just…a stupid, stupid, arrogant, useless, sloppy, naive, idiot who can’t even—“
He’s cut off with a sudden tackle to the floor
“WAH?! A-another assassin? Ghost? Overblot?! W-who are you?!”
“Kalim.”
He relaxed promptly and hugged you
“Oh thank the seven! I—“
“You need to shut up. You are…”
You shakily breathed out. You don’t want to repeat any of those words.
“You are not what you said.”
Kalim tenses for a second and tries to laugh it off
“It’s nothing! I was joking, y’know just talking with the sulta-“
“Don’t change the subject. I heard you and…” You wiped his remaining tears “And I can just feel it.”
Both of you moved to sit side by side against the statue.
He tried to avoid your eyes but you knew better. You held him in your arms.
“Kalim Al Asim. You’re so incredible.”
His breath hitches.
“You make everyone’s day brighter. You listen when someone wants to talk about something important, no matter how happy or sad it is. You stand up for what’s wrong, you take responsibility. Kalim, you’re incredibly kind to others. Even if you don’t have great grades, you work hard now and it doesn’t define who you are. You have this sense when someone is struggling, you drop everything just to make them smile. That to me, to a lot of people, is so much more important than being “smart”.”
Tears leak out of his eyes as he listens to your words. You cup his cheeks warmly.
“You aren’t stupidly naive but optimistic. You aren’t stupid, you just struggle with things and that’s so so ok. You changed for the better after his overblot while still being the kindest person I know.”
“Your kindness is a weapon Kalim. A warm and loving weapon.”
He starts to cry and you hold him tight in your arms as he breaks down. All the stress, anxiety, fear, anger, and everything just spilling out of him.
His grip on your jacket is tight and you can feel his tears on your clothes but you don’t care.
“I love you Kalim.”
“I-I l-love you too…”
It’ll take a lot longer than just a night to get rid of any of these deeply tangled issue. But it is so much better to have your boyfriend free from his toxic positivity.

project-sekai-facts · 9 months
Note
if you have enough to type a full post about it, could you make one on how project sekai could be a psychological horror if you thought hard enough about it?? it sounds super interesting
Okay like, first off the SEKAI are kinda. Creepy if you think about it. Like yeah this is the embodiment of your feelings. Or a feeling. School SEKAI is a school because a lot of their issues surround school (Saki not being able to attend, the other three distancing themselves during middle school, etc). MMJ gets stages and VBS gets a city because those are good places for them to perform. None of those are too creepy honestly but then you get to Empty and Wonderland and it’s like. Yeah.
Mafuyu’s SEKAI is just fucking Empty. It’s an endless void with a few random objects here and there. And also a marionette that apparently spawned in when the SEKAI was made. Yeah the thing that triggers Mafuyu’s panic attack in Captive Marionette has been in her SEKAI this entire time. Made from her feelings so it’s justified but like that’s not the most pleasant thing. Also the fact that the embodiment of her feelings is a void and it doesn’t really change is just. Harsh.
And Wonderland like it’s just so full. All the plushies that express how Tsukasa feels and all of his childhood memories and feelings everywhere.
SEKAI created by a single person but shared by many aren’t the most private thing ever. But also just having a world dedicated to your emotions is fucked up in itself ESPECIALLY with the one-creator SEKAI. Because like, that’s you. Don’t like it? Fuck you I guess
On top of that there’s the fact that SEKAI don’t disappear after the owner dies. They’re just there now. Someone submitted this to me ages ago and it’s still sitting in my inbox because I want to wait for the 2nd anniversary fes cards to release because they go into more details about this but like. Yeah. That’s so fucked.
The Virtual Singers especially like they don’t age and don’t despawn ever. SEKAI owner dies or never accesses their SEKAI? Alone forever and there’s nothing they can do about it.
Even in school SEKAI it’s a bit unsettling that they are just locked at high school age when the L/n girls are getting older.
Also like the fact that the virtual singers are fully aware that they are different versions of the main virtual singer is kinda weird when you think about it for long enough. It could be really disturbing they should to into that.
And the environments they exist in. Street SEKAI and Wonderland SEKAI Vsingers are lucky because there’s a lot they can do and the SEKAI are really big. School SEKAI has a lot to do there, but it’s an enclosed space and I’m not sure if they can actually go to the outside areas offsite. It’s good that the Stage SEKAI vsingers like performing because it ain’t like there’s anything else they can do except sit in the backstage areas. And Empty SEKAI has nothing to do AT ALL and the girls have to bring in things to give the vsingers something to stimulate them.
Also like the fact they all take from the personalities and emotions of their SEKAI owners is so so disturbing if you think about it for more than three seconds. Like yeah this thing is based on you. It has your personality and will reflect you feelings at times. Like I know the point is that the vocaloids are basically counsellors but like. Damn. Especially for Mafuyu and Tsukasa because those Virtual Singers are just based on aspects of themselves (with a few things from their friends thrown in) which is genuinely really disturbing like I would not like that at all. Also Tsukasa has the plushies as well which are usually used to show how he feels about other people (eg: usachan being Saki as a child and him needing to cheer her up, the cat and dog recreating his and Rui’s conflict in Wonder Halloween).
(Someone sent an ask about the vsingers and who they are derived from in each Sekai hopefully I can finish it this week unless I run out of data)
The idea of the SEKAI changing and the vsingers changing to reflect your emotions and such has just always stuck out to me because sometimes they change to help you and sometimes they change to just copy whatever is happening to you and I think it does whatever it thinks is best for the situation but it’s kinda fucked to think about.
Oh and Miku can wipe your memory that’s definitely one of the creepiest things. Like the unit leaders have met multiple times at this point and never remember it. Minori and Kohane are best friends and have been repeatedly introduced to the concept that they both have SEKAI and repeatedly been mindwiped after that. They could do something with that. So how effective is this mindwiping anyway? If it’s used too many times on one person will it start to affect them (anyone here seen Gravity Falls?)
Also on the topic of memory. Remember in the WxS main story when Tsukasa straight up doesn’t remember significant parts of his childhood but Miku and KAITO do and then drop hints about these memories? Or in immiscible discord when KAITO dumps the truth about Mafuyu’s mother on her when Mafuyu wasn’t aware of it herself (also KAITO had barely been there for any significant time and this is his FIRST interaction with Mafuyu that he drops all this on her). The SEKAI seem to just know any feelings you repress or ignore or forget and I know the SEKAI is like a abstract realisation of thought and feeling so ofc it knows these but it’s still a bit. Weird, I guess. They should flesh this out more.
Oh supposedly you can die in the SEKAI. Possibly by force since there’s one card story where some of the WxS members nearly fall out the flying train and it’s treated as a genuine threat, but also we don’t know for sure. Heavily implied that you can die in the SEKAI from not fulfilling basic needs (eating or drinking), since Mafuyu considers disappearing into the SEKAI at one point and it doesn’t seem like she took those with her nor do they naturally exist in the SEKAI. Side note what happens if someone dies in SEKAI? Does it kick them out like it does when their phone dies or dows it just leave them there?
Don’t even get me started on untitled like it’s another embodiment of feelings is actually a bit disturbing thing but as far as we know you get one untitled. That’s it. Have you seen the lyrics on some of these (also out of universe note, the producers weren’t given huge amounts of information about the characters and story so like. Accuracy of the lyricw varies). Kuyamu to Kaite Mirai particularly. Like. What happens if Mafuyu actually does manage to make significant recovery? Is she just stuck with “I want to die, I want to disappear, there’s nothing left for me here” (did i get the lyric right?).
Oh my god I almost forgot about stage sekai. Endless void :( Of stages :). At least they have something to do there, I guess? Also can we talk about the audience that’s there let’s talk about the audience okay I think it might be an instance of the writing leaning on the 4th wall and maybe the audience is the virtual show audience with the little box avatar things or maybe there’s an actual audience and if so where the fuck do they go when there’s not performances? Oh and the fact that vlives are considered canon which means every sekai just has these little box people going in and out to watch them sing that’s just another weird thing.
And apparently there’s people in street SEKAI too like MEIKO talks about buying things in town and stuff even though most of the buildings look abandoned?
This isn’t even psychological horror but. Ghosts real. Only Mafuyu can see them. Okay maybe you could make that into more of a psychological horror thing.
Anyone remember when Akito’s fragment sekai gave him amnesia? Or the fact that characters have met themselves in fragment sekai.
Tl;dr I think sekai have untapped horror potential

I TOTALLY FELT YOU WHEN YOU SAID DR STONE IS LIKE A DRUG OMG its like my lifeline at this point
i was wondering if i could request a small drabble or headcanons for ryusui !! i keep having this repeating idea of him with a reader who’s like his childhood friend and ever since they were young, ryusui always tried to pursue them romantically but reader would always just laugh it off, thinking he was joking. but ryusui never gave up on his love for the reader!!
(spoilers for the treasure island arc)
but once everyone on the perseus gets petrified, leaving the reader (who had gone with the recon team to scout the area), reader starts to realize just how much they were worried for him, and especially when he comes back to them in fragments after kohaku smashed him. and the second that he gets revived, the reader is all over him and telling him how worried they were, and the second that the two of them are alone (maybe the team recognized that they were having a moment and let them have it?) reader confesses that they return his feelings and the possibility of possibly losing him helped them realize that? O:
male reader would be preferred (ryusui bi icon frfr), but i dont mind gender neutral!! :D
thank you so much for your time in advance, and remember to stay hydrated!! (expect more interactions from me, im literally obsessed with your works ❤️❤️)
彡zai says- the brain rot this gave me was insane back on my dr stone grind!! he really is a bi icon i'll never forget what he said to tsukasa (ngl i read it a year ago so i spitballed the lore lol)
paring: ryusui x male reader
warnings: SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT
ˏˋ«────── « 𓆩♡𓆪 » ──────»
Tumblr media
ever since you were kids you were always the main thing on his mind. he was constantly teasing you and clinging to your side. as you got older it turned into him flirting with you and seeing how far he could push your buttons until you got flustered.
when senku broke him from the stone he was more focused on you than himself, he knew you had an impressive skill set and he used that to his advantage. even if they didn’t have enough revival fluid he brought you along anyways, dressing your statue so when they could revive you, you were ready to go.
when you came to you immediately fell into someone’s arms. their hold on you was firm but also familiar, and their scent was familiar too it was almost comforting. you pulled back to look back at them, and you were met with ryusui smiling down at you “i missed you.”
you laughed and gently removed yourself from his hold “i’m sure you did.” you didn’t notice it but his face slightly faltered.
his flirting was no better when the two of you were alone, as a matter of fact, it was only worse. the two of you sat alone staring at the moon, he spent most of the time staring at you instead of the sky “you’re so handsome, the way you shine in the moonlight is amazing.” you laughed again and rolled your eyes. you always assumed his flirting was just empty words, he was the human version of greed after all he craves everything the world has to offer and he does this to everyone.
“you don’t have to keep saying those things ryusui. i know you don’t mean them.”
he stared at you, no matter how many times he tells you he adores you or how many times he admits how he wants nothing more in the world than you, you never believed him.
at least not until the incident.
when you first laid eyes on his stone body you wanted to scream but you couldn't, the scream was barely louder than a whisper hardly a scream at all. it only got harder when kohaku brought him and the others back as fragments.
the second he was revied the team cleared out and kohaku sent you a knowing glance.
one the two of you were alone you immediately wrapped your arms around him pulling him into a hug "i was so worried about you, i thought i lost you." he returned your embrace and rested a hand on the back of your head pulling you closer to him "you could never lose me." he pressed a gentle kiss to your temple, and for the first time instead of backing away from his affection you accepted it.
you gently pull back from his hug to look at him face to face "i've realized some things."
he raises a brow "and what would that be?"
"how much i care for you, and how much you care for me." his hand moves to gently cup your cheek while his thumb gently caressed your cheek "oh? and how much do i care for you?"
"you've basically spent most of our lives trying to win me over, and every time i never really responded to them or gave you any straight answer. so why did you never give up?"
he smiled at you "that's easy. because i'm the greediest guy there is." your face slightly fell which caused him to chuckle "you didn't let me finish. because i'm the greediest guy there is i know there's no greater treasure than your heart. i'd stop at nothing to make you my boyfriend and to be yours."

I’m sorry for all the requests but Dr.stone brain rot is killing me 😭:
May I order a headcanon (once facking again) where their s/o’s family was extremely poor in the past, so when Ryusui made currency they spent the least amount of money, rarely eating out of habit and trying to not make the same mistake their family did before?
If there was a Tsukasa part I believe that would only fuel his anger more for the rich and greedy ngl 😭
Anyways, if you do my request once again. Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart! And remember to always take care of yourself pookie <3
- Sincerely, 🍙 Anon
Reader’s Family was Poor in the Past
Hi!!! Thank you for the request! :) and do remember to take care of yourself too! Sorry this is so late to when you sent this in 😭 there is so much in my inbox, I jump around.
I chose Senku, Gen, Tsukasa, and Ryusui for this.
Senku Ishigami
He wasn’t too concerned with what everybody was doing, but your behavior doesn’t go unnoticed.
He watched as you picked through almost thousands of drago and only spent a few, and it almost seemed like you were scared to.
Ryusui had practically thrown drago at you because you were nearby and he complimented you and gave you plenty of money, so why were you spending SO cautiously like you were down to nickels and dimes? (I know nothing about Yen so I don’t know if there is an expression equivalent in Japanese)
You have nothing to really save the money for, so why were you debating so hard over spending it on a shirt. You wanted the shirt, didn’t you?
Eventually, he’d found out from somebody that knew you that your family was poor. He had thought something like that must have been the case, but now he knows for sure.
He’d likely encourage you to spend a bit more. Either that, or he’d bluntly tell you there is no reason to keep the money so close to you anymore.
Gen Asagiri
If he had that much money, he’d be blowing it.
You had thousands of drago that Ryusui had just handed you. And you were clutching onto it like you’d be robbed of it and be left for dead without it if you loosen up just a little.
You hesitated to get cotton candy, despite how much you said you missed the taste.
He watched you and soon noticed your behavior was like those who were less fortunate to have to ration to survive.
You didn’t need to do that here, the money isn’t that important. At the end of the day, the hunters in the kingdom of science would bring home food rather people paid them for the meat or not.
The community doesn’t run off of money, so your behavior is unnecessary. So he’d probably talk you out of it.
He’d come stand beside you, talking to you softly.
“Money isn’t that important here. You don’t need it to pay for a house. And the beasts of people we have here do the hunting for us, and never once have they asked for money. Nor would they deny you food if you couldn’t pay. You can save some… but maybe spend half? Plus…” he leans in to whisper, “Ryusui would gladly pay for you if it ever came to it. I’m sure a man like him will never run out of money.”
Tsukasa Shishio
Dragos have been around for a while, but you’re still clutching onto them like it’s life or death.
Francois doesn’t make you pay them for food. The hunters (him, Hyoga, etc) don’t make you pay them for meat or anything.
So your behavior has got to be engraved into you.
He might be on the side of kingdom of science, but deep down, this rise of currency and capitalism bothers him.
watching you struggle to let go of money makes him angry.
The world they used to live in had brought you to this point, and that pisses him off.
He knows what that’s like. He fought for money. He became famous for money. All for money for Mirai. Just so his sister would live.
He had to pay people to keep his sister alive.
And old men paid for the rights to land and he had no grounds to even do anything about getting beat down by one for picking seashells. That man OWNED those seashells.
He doesn’t know exactly what you went through, but he’s got an idea.
He doesn’t say much, but he makes sure to give you plenty of food and he’ll buy things for you and give them to you.
Honestly he’s so sweet.
Ryusui Nanami
Spend money, get bitches. Yk. (This man would hate the word bitches for sure. But I had to say this. Like side note, but he’s an advocate for the word to be offensive when leaving a man’s mouth)
Ryusui gave you thousands of drago and stepped back. He expected you to spend it, give to the economy, etc.
But you held onto it like you were gonna need it soon.
He doesn’t really know what that’s like. He’s always had lots of money.
Well, once he had a smaller allowance, but even that would be a lot to most other people. He doesn’t realize this so much, not until he sees you.
He’s confused at first.
What else is there to do in life than get all that one wants when they want it? Get your money up, keep your money up, spend your money up. Yk. The 3 pillars to life. (This is not what they are)
He gives you more money.
But you try to deny it.
He insists. Then he watches you clutch onto it like you’ll need it all in an hour.
He probably goes over to encourage you. Telling you to see things how he sees it.
And then you probably explain why you just can’t. You’re scared you’ll end up like your family was as a kid.
He begins to see what you mean, and he’ll probably spend some money on you.
“Don’t be scared. There isn’t anything to worry about money about here. Even if everything had a cost soon, I’d pay for whatever you needed. And all these people would surely do you a favor even if.”

"Just hold onto me, okay?"
Tumblr media
Izumi Sena x Reader ♡ Tags: Fluff, mutual crush, she/her pronouns ♡ Word count: 2,444 ♡ Synopsis: Inspired by the gacha story Dance on Ice in which this card is featured in. Reader is a soloist idol that has also acquired a photoshoot at the same ice rink Knights was having theirs at. However, you haven't ice skated before, so Izumi lends you a hand. ♡ A/N: I need more Izumi x reader fics.
Tumblr media
"Hm, what? Were you guys looking for me?" asked Leo curiously.
"Not the two of us; just Anzu," Izumi stated. "She says she needs to talk to you about work. She already told me what it was about, but I can't make a decision on my own, right?"
Leo laughed. "Well, it's only natural for the leader to make decisions. So, what kind of work is it?"
Anzu explained that the work she had for them was a pinup photoshoot for a magazine in which the theme was 'Knights on Ice.' Since the theme was geared towards Knights, Izumi suggested that they should take on the offer. Leo agreed on how convenient the offer was to them, and to be on ice would perhaps spark inspiration for new music.
"Naru-kun has skating experience and Kuma-kun will probably be fine too. I'm not sure about Kasa-kun, but I can teach him if he doesn't know how to skate," Izumi rambled on. "Ou-sama, can you skate? It'll be embarrassing if you slip awkwardly. Do you want me to teach you along with Kasa-kun?"
Leo rejected his offer, stating how he has crossed and walked on ice before. "Oh, since we're going ice skating though," he began. "Shouldn't you ask (Y/N) if she wants to join?"
"We're going to be at the rink for work," said Izumi. "We aren't there to have fun."
But the mention of your name did make him think of whether to bring you along. Izumi knew how much you have always wanted to try ice skating, but since you were a soloist at Yumenosaki which took up all of your time working on perfecting your performances, you never really had the time to try out the activities you've always wanted to do.
Leo pointed a finger at him. "You know you want to, Sena! Come on, the client won't even be mad if we bring her along. She's (Y/N) (L/N) after all!"
Izumi flicked his hand away. "I know how much everyone's trying to get their hands on her," he said with a tone of annoyance in his voice. "...I'll think about it."
"Hahaha, so that's a yes then!" cheered Leo before realising that the two have been excluding Anzu in their conversation. "Oh, don't worry, Anzu. You won't get in trouble if we bring (Y/N) along. She actually knows the client very well, seeing that she keeps getting constant job offers, hahaha!"
"Anzu, you could come into the kotatsu instead of standing there like that," said Izumi before continuing on the subject at hand. "But if it does bother you, then we won't bring her–"
"Oh no, it's nothing like that," she said with a light chuckle. "I also got her a photoshoot at the rink too!"
Izumi was actually excited upon hearing those words. The next day, when he arrived at the ice rink, he scanned the area all over for you. Though, he wasn't only looking for you, but for Leo and Ritsu too.
Irked by their absence, Izumi sighed. "I've already given Ou-sama a warning, so I thought he'd be fine... He said he doesn't forget about the important things, but it has completely slipped his mind..."
Tsukasa went off to go find Leo whilst Anzu offered to find Ritsu. Izumi knew that Arashi had a photoshoot before this, so he wasn't too worried about her. But where were you? Anzu had informed him that your photoshoot was set an hour before his, so you would’ve been finished with it, right?
He would’ve called you, but he didn’t want to disturb you if you were still busy. Though, he sent you a text, hoping that you’d read it soon.
“Since we’re here at the ice rink, I guess I’ll warm up,” he muttered to himself.
Izumi kicked off his heel as he started to slide through the ice with grace. He circled the rink effortlessly, performing beautiful tricks with ease.
You watched him quietly from behind the barrier. Your photoshoot hadn’t even started despite it being booked an hour before. Since you told the client you didn’t know how to skate, they gave you an extra hour to learn which would’ve been nice of them, but they specifically said, “Alright, teach yourself then. We don’t have all day.”
This was the first time you’d ever dealt with a rude client, so your usual happy-go-lucky mood had shifted to a gloomy one. However, watching Izumi skate so elegantly made all those bad feelings go away.
You were amazed at how beautiful he looked as he skated. He was light on his feet, his movements mesmerising. You could watch him all day, but you knew you had to practise your own skills before you had to go back to your photoshoot.
Izumi wasn’t paying attention to his surroundings whenever he skated, he was only focusing on himself in that moment, but when he caught a glimpse of your silhouette, he immediately came to a stop.
His eyes lit up and his lips curled into a genuine smile. There you were.
“(Y/N),” he exclaimed. “I was wondering where you were. You must be finished with your photoshoot, right? So, why didn’t you reply to my message?”
You smiled at him sheepishly. “I… haven’t even started with my shoot,” you admitted. “…I don’t know how to skate after all, so they told me to go practise—”
“Wait, they didn’t have someone on the team to teach you?” he asked with concern in his voice.
“No… they told me to teach myself… I have an hour to do so.”
Izumi’s smile was wiped off his face. He had experience within the fashion industry and with modelling, so he knew how unprofessional it was for your client to not teach you how to skate let alone leave you to do it yourself.
He couldn’t believe that you were already having trouble with your client. He never wanted you to experience anything like that at work even if it was inevitable.
He was going to speak to the staff on your behalf right after he was finished.
But right now, he was going to teach you how to ice skate.
“Alright, get in the rink,” he said, skating towards the entrance. “I’ll teach you.”
You instantly smiled at these words, but you were still pretty nervous. You haven’t ice skated before and you were scared of falling. Falling in front of Izumi would be embarrassing too even if you two were close friends.
“You should’ve called me beforehand since Ou-sama and Kuma-kun aren’t here yet,” he continued. “But it’s okay, I can teach you how to skate in twenty– fifteen minutes.”
You hesitated. Your hands gripped onto the barrier as you tried to get into the rink, but couldn’t due to how frightened you were.
This is so embarrassing, you thought. I can’t even get in…
Izumi stretched a hand in front of you. “Don’t be afraid. Come over here,” he said gently with a smile on his face. “Just hold onto me, okay?”
You nodded, taking his hand as you entered the rink. He took your other hand in his as he glided you across.
You held his hands tight which stung him a bit. “(Y/N), relax. I won’t let you fall.”
“B-But this is scary!” you fretted, your grip tightening even more. “Izumi, please don’t let go of me…!”
“I wasn’t planning to,” he stated. "Alright, look straight ahead. Don't look at your feet even if you're scared. If you can't help it, then just focus on me."
You lifted your head a bit and locked eyes with him. His blue eyes mimicked the background the two of you were in right now. Despite how blue and icy his eyes looked, there was some warmness in them as they looked at you.
You blushed and instantly looked away.
"Ah, no. Don't look away!"
You couldn't help it. You were holding hands with him and now you were looking into his eyes? It seemed like the two of you were a couple with how close you two were together.
"People are going to take this the wrong way..." you muttered.
"So? Why not let them think that way?"
"...What?"
Izumi shook his head. "Let's get on with the lessons, okay?" As he kept hold of your hands, he taught you how to skate by bending your knees to keep your balance, then using your body weight from one side to the other to start moving.
He taught you how to glide and to stroke. It was difficult at first, but you were improving really fast. Midway through your session with him, you were getting the hang of it, but the two of you still kept your grip on each other's hands.
"Haha, this is so fun!" you chirped happily as the two of you skated around the rink together.
Izumi smiled. "See, it wasn't too bad, was it?" he said. "You're doing great... as expected from you."
"Thanks to you, of course!" Your fingers began to lock with his. "Izumi, thank you for teaching me, I really do appreciate it."
"Of course, anything for you," he replied, mumbling the last part of his sentence so you wouldn't pick it up.
"Now, let's spin!"
"Wait, what–"
You pulled your body weight to make the two of you start spinning. Unfortunately, since you were still a beginner, it did not work, so Izumi had to try to steady you both again before either of you fell.
"(Y/N)!" he exclaimed. "You're always like this..."
"S-Sorry, I got too carried away..."
"If you wanted to spin, then you should've let me do it."
Izumi had let go of one of your hands but kept a soft grip on the other. He brought you closer to him and then lifted your hand to twirl you around.
It was a short twirl, but it had excited you. It made you incredibly happy that even his cheeks were tinted with a soft pink colour.
"Haha, that was so cute!" you beamed. "Let's do it again, please?"
Izumi just couldn't say no to you, so he twirled you again, and you looked beautiful. Even with the coat hanging over you, you looked beautiful to him. Your eyes glistened as you looked at him, and he fell for you all over again.
"Again!" you squealed.
"Don't you have a photoshoot to be getting ready for?" he said with a slight smirk. "Our lessons were over once you started spinning us around."
"Oh, right! My photoshoot!"
Izumi sighed. You reminded him so much of Leo, but at least you didn't cause trouble.
"Have a good photoshoot," he told you, lifting your hand up to his lips before planting a soft kiss. "I'll be here waiting for you once you come back."
Your cheeks were hot even when the rest of your body was cold, yet you couldn't stop smiling.
"Izumi..."
"Off you go then."
Your hands parted from his even if the two of you didn't want it to.
You waved him a short goodbye before skating back to your preparation team. He watched you trail off as you began to get ready, slipping off your coat to reveal the dress you were hiding underneath. You really were breathtaking.
"I found Leader," said Tsukasa as he began to berate the Knights' leader on why he kept getting lost every single time they needed him. Anzu was dragging a coffin in which Izumi assumed Ritsu was sleeping inside.
Once Ritsu woke up, Izumi informed the staff that they were all here. Arashi had been waiting inside for them for a while now.
"I didn't know (Y/N) was doing a photoshoot here as well..." Arashi whispered into Izumi's ear. "She's pretty, isn't she?"
Izumi flinched at this, but calmed down almost immediately.
"Let's just do a good job, okay?" he said.
Your photoshoot lasted longer than you expected, but you preformed well especially since you had help from Izumi earlier. The client was a little bit nicer to you this time, but even if they continued to be rude, you wouldn't let it get to you. Nothing could sour your mood now once Izumi left a kiss on the back of your hand.
Knights were finished with their photoshoots too, even the one where they competed against UNDEAD.
You skated towards the crowd, waving your hands at them to notice you.
"Ah, here comes (Y/N)-chan~" sang Arashi, teasing her silver-haired friend. "Uwa~ her dress is sooo cute~!"
But before Izumi could reply to her, you had slipped. "(Y/N)!" cried Izumi, rushing towards you.
"Ow... ow..." you hissed. I guess I'm still not cut out for this after all.
"You okay?" he asked you worriedly, crouching down on the ice as he lifted your back. "Nothing's broken, I hope?"
"N-No, I'm fine," you replied. "Although this IS kind of embarrassing... I was hoping not to fall today and I was doing so well..."
Izumi chuckled as he leaned down closer to you, hugging you ever so slightly. You were surprised by this affection, but you weren't complaining. You rested your head on his chest, finding comfort in his grasp.
"You did do well and I am so proud of you."
You grinned up at him. "I like it when you're like this," you began. "You could be so sweet..."
"Haha, alright. Let's get you up," he said, noticing how much you were shivering. However, you kept him in place before the others could check up on you two.
"Izumi."
"Hmm?"
"I like you so much."
Now it was his turn for him to turn red. Hehe, revenge, you thought. But you weren't lying when you told him you liked him – you really did like him. You wanted to hold hands with him again, to be within his comfort again.
"I like you too, (Y/N). I always have."
[Extra]
Izumi didn't inform you about this, but he did speak with your client before your photoshoot officially started. He berated them on how unprofessional they were with you, and how they should've had someone on the team to help you with skating instead of leaving it to your own hands.
He didn't want you to experience any more rudeness from them as he knew you wouldn't be able to stand up for yourself. It was one of the ways he wanted to protect you, and it worked because you couldn't stop smiling at him throughout the rest of the day.
Hand in hand, the two of you left the ice rink together with Knights, your fingers interlocked with each other.

A Gift for You (Tsukasa)
Tumblr media
Word Count: 3,581
Genre: Angst, fluff
A/N: Thank you so much for your request, I appreciate it! ^-^)/ Sorry it took me so long to get this out. I hope you enjoy it and, hopefully, it's what you were looking for~ Your English is fine, by the way, don't even worry~
━━━━━━༻❀༺━━━━━━
You knew what you were getting into when you started dating Tsukasa. Despite being a delinquent, he was one of the prettiest, kindest boys you've ever met and you weren't the only one who felt that way. Girls were always fawning over him, staring shamelessly as he passed. Hell, even some guys couldn't help staring at him.
To your credit, it didn't bother you for a long time. It wasn't until the two of you were in your senior year of high school that it started to chip away at your confidence. The girls approaching him were so pretty, bringing him different gifts every time he headed to or from school. There was one in particular that seemed hell-bent on getting his attention and she just happened to be the most beautiful girl you've ever seen.
You often found yourself picturing them together and you hated how perfect they looked. In your mind, she would look a lot better hanging off his arm than you did. Besides, she was rich and could afford to bring him expensive gifts and baked goods. Your family didn't have a lot of money so you couldn't afford to buy him anything despite wanting to.
It was honestly frustrating.
Did she know that he was dating someone? You didn't want to bother him with something like this so you decided to take things into your own hands. You left school early one day, hoping to catch her before she could approach Tsukasa again. Maybe if you cleared things up and told her that he was taken, she would stop giving him gifts and waiting for him every day.
There she was, leaning against a wooden fence with her phone in her hand. A plastic bag hung from her arm and you could see the top of a red ribbon sticking out of the top - a present, no doubt. You took a deep breath to calm yourself before approaching her with a kind smile.
"Excuse me?"
She glanced up, sent you a disinterested look, and returned to her phone.
Despite finding this to be quite rude, you kept your tone friendly. "Are you waiting for Tsukasa-kun?"
Her eyes narrowed at you as she straightened her back. "Yeah, so what?"
"Well, I just thought you should know he's seeing someone."
"So?" she quirked a brow, hand on her hip. "If he's accepting my gifts, clearly he isn't happy with his girlfriend. I bet she can't even afford to buy him anything he deserves."
You visibly winced at the comment, feeling as if her words were arrows piercing your skin.
"Oh my god, it's you, isn't it?" She smirked, looking you up and down. "No wonder he's seeking attention in other girls."
"Tsu-kun is too nice to flat-out reject someone," you told her, doing your best not to let her words get to you.
She giggled loudly, bringing a manicured hand to her mouth. "Oh, honey, is that what you tell yourself to help you sleep at night? I bet he's only with you because he feels sorry for you! You must know that, right? If you really care about him, you should let him go so he can be with someone who actually deserves him."
Before you could even reply, she turned on her heel and walked away, flipping her wavy hair over her shoulder. You swallowed hard, unable to move from where you stood. Was she right? Was Tsukasa only dating you because he felt sorry for you?
You felt as if you were at risk of losing him. After all, what kind of partner were you if you couldn't even give him a simple gift? Your fists clenched at your sides, determination burning in your eyes.
━━━━━━༻❀༺━━━━━━
"Damn it, you won again!" Fujio groaned, tossing his cards onto the table. He and the rest of his faction were sitting on the roof of Oya High.
Jamuo grinned, wrapping his arms around the stack of snacks and pulling them closer. "Thank you, Fujio-san!"
"Tsukasa~" Fujio pouted at his best friend as if he could somehow fix the problem.
The blonde shrugged from his place on the couch, one arm slung over the back and the other resting over your shoulders. "I told you not to go all in."
His eyes fell on you next and you laughed.
"Tsu-kun did tell you. You should have listened."
"I want to go again!" he declared, eyes narrowed in determination. "All in, Jamuo!"
The shorter boy pretended to think about it for a moment before shaking his head, a grin on his lips. "I don't wanna!"
"Oh, come on! I'll definitely win this time!"
"I'm not taking that chance. These snacks are mine!"
Tsukasa shook his head as the two continued arguing, a smile tugging at his lips. Your eyes fell on him and you also smiled, feeling your heart skip a beat as it did every time you looked at him. The sun was beaming down on him, making it appear as if he were surrounded by a soft glow. It had been a few weeks since your confrontation with that girl, but her words often replayed inside your head.
Your phone vibrated in your pocket and you tugged it out, quickly turning off the alarm you had set. It was time for you to leave but it was always hard coming up with an excuse that your boyfriend would believe. He was frustratingly perceptive, usually able to pick up when he was being lied to. Not only that, but he was also quite protective over you and he didn't like you going around on your own.
You cleared your throat before standing up from the couch, offering your friends a smile. "I need to get going. I'll see you guys later."
"Bye," smiled Jamuo, offering you a small wave.
"Take care!" Fujio smiled at you before attempting to take one of the snacks, his hand being smacked by Jamuo. "So mean!"
Tsukasa stood up without hesitation. "I'll walk you home."
"No need," you replied quickly, smiling reassuringly at him when he furrowed his brow. "I'm meeting up with my cousin."
"I can still walk you there."
"It's okay, really. You need to stay here and keep Fujio from losing his mind over his loss," you joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Tsukasa observed you for a moment, lips pursed and brow furrowed as he tried to determine what was going on inside your mind. You've been acting strange for a couple of weeks now and he wasn't sure why. Every time he asked you about it, you told him that everything was fine. He knew it wasn't, but he couldn't force you to talk to him. All he could do was let you know that he was here for you and wait until you were ready to talk.
"Alright," he finally replied, cupping your face so he could bring you closer. "Promise me you'll be careful."
"I promise."
"And if anything happens, you'll call me?"
"I will."
"Good." Tsukasa closed the distance, kissing you gently. "I love you."
Those three words were enough to steal the breath from your lungs, leaving you feeling giddy.
I bet he's only with you because he feels sorry for you!
The words echoed in your head like a mantra, followed by her high-pitched laughter that sucked every ounce of happiness from you. Your smile faltered and you knew that he had noticed it. Before he could question it, you pulled away from him and hurried toward the stairs, your heart pounding in your chest.
'If he wasn't suspicious before, he has to be now!' You cursed under your breath. When you reached the courtyard, you could feel eyes on you and knew it was Tsukasa watching you. As badly as you wanted to turn and smile up at him, you resisted the urge and hurried away from the school.
After the interaction with that girl, you decided that you were going to get a job and save up to buy Tsukasa a gift that would blow all of hers out of the water. With his birthday right around the corner, you were determined to make it one he would never forget. In truth, you hadn't been lying to him because you were meeting your cousin - he was the one who got you the job and he also worked there with you.
You tugged open the door of the bakery, the smell of freshly baked brownies wafting across your nose. Your cousin, Taka, was wiping down the counter, smiling when he noticed you.
"Hey, you ready for the afternoon rush?"
"Not even a little bit," you chuckled, heading into the back so you could put your things away and grab an apron. After washing your hands, you returned to the front just as a crowd of people approached. For the most part, it went perfectly fine, excluding the fact that you didn't get more than a few seconds to breathe. The place was packed, people talking loudly as they waited for their order.
Your cousin nudged you, holding two lattes. "Can you take this to table five?"
"Sure." You carefully took the cups from him focusing on where you were going rather than who was sitting at said table. "Two lattes for Maki-san?"
"Oh my god, it's you."
You glanced up, instantly feeling your heart sink into your stomach. It was her, the girl that insisted on taking Tsukasa from you. She was there with her friend who was just as pretty as she was. Your jaw clenched as you carefully set the cups on the table. "Can I get you anything else?"
She snickered in amusement. "Let me guess, you got this job so you can afford to buy Kasa-kun a gift, right?"
Kasa-kun? Your brow furrowed. No way was she close enough to call him by a nickname.
"You could work here for the rest of your life and still never have enough to give him what I do. Oh and look, it's time for me to give him my gift again!" Maki stood up, flipping her hair over her shoulder as she picked up the bag containing his gift. She sent you a smirk before purposefully knocking over the drink, the lid popping off and the liquid inside spilling out onto the table. "You shouldn't be so clumsy!"
You sent her a deadpan look, well aware of everyone's attention now on you.
She shoulder-checked you as she walked by, her friend close behind.
"I hate her," you muttered under your breath, glaring at the spilled latte.
"Oi, what are you doing?" snapped your managed with a scowl. "Clean that up, now!"
You bowed to him in apology before rushing to clean up the mess she had made.
━━━━━━༻❀༺━━━━━━
You bit your lip as you walked around the jewelry store, scanning the items on display. Most of them were crazy expensive and way out of your price range, but they had a sale going on right now. You had been working hard and had saved up a bit of money, though you did give some of it to your parents to help pay the bills since they were struggling.
What should you get him? You weren't sure but you wanted it to be special, to be something meaningful that he could wear for a long time. Sure, you could just get him some flowers, a card, and something sweet to eat, but those things won't last. They also didn't feel very meaningful to you because of how common they were.
As you scanned the items within the glass case, your eyes landed on a bracelet sitting at the back. It was beautiful. It looked to be made of black pearls with silver crowns and blue pearls at each end. In the center was a silver lion head. It immediately made you think of Tsukasa because of the time Murayama-san had called him a sleeping lion. You thought the term was fitting because he was just as majestic and strong as one. Would he appreciate such a gift or be annoyed by it?
"It's a beautiful bracelet, isn't it?"
You looked up in surprise at the woman standing on the other side of the counter, a friendly smile on her lips. Her name tag read, 'Yuki.' "Yes, it's quite beautiful. Are those pearls?"
She shook her head. "No, they're made of black tourmaline. It's said that these stones work as a bodyguard to shield their wearer from harm, strengthening their immune system and helping them find relief from discomfort. It keeps your chakras balanced and helps to soak up negative energies."
Your eyes widened at her words. That sounds perfect for him, given how much danger he always puts himself in. "And the blue ones?"
"Blue agate. It's excellent for reducing anxiety, despair, and stress which also aids in the healing of one's body, mind, and spirit. As for the lion, it exudes charisma and courage. This bracelet is designed to help you channel your inner lion no matter what situation you find yourself in."
You bit your lip, unsure if you believed in what she was telling you. It sounded too good to be true and, in your experience, such things rarely turned out well. Did you really have anything to lose, though? If it didn't work as she described, it was still a beautiful piece of jewelry to adorn his wrist. And on the off chance it did work, it could really assist him with the life he's chosen to live.
"How much is it?"
"The normal price is fifty dollars, but it's currently on sale for forty."
If you bought the bracelet, you'd be dead broke which meant you wouldn't be able to treat him to dinner as you had planned. 'He can just have dinner with his family,' you decided. "I'd like to buy it, please!"
She smiled warmly at you, nodding her head before unlocking the case. "Would you like the box wrapped?"
You felt embarrassed telling her that you couldn't afford it but she seemed to sense your line of thought.
"It's no extra charge."
You almost exhaled in relief but managed to hold it back. "Yes, please!"
"Of course."
You watched her as she carefully wrapped the box in wrapping paper. She made it look so easy, doing so without tears or creases. It was pristinely wrapped, as if done by a machine rather than a human being, and she topped it off by wrapping a yellow ribbon around it.
"Thank you so much."
"I'm sure he'll love it," she told you with a smile, handing the gift over to you.
"I hope so," you replied, bowing to her politely before leaving the store.
As you approached Oya Koukou, you felt nerves dancing within you like butterflies. Would he like it? Had he seen Maki already and accepted her gift? Did she even know it was his birthday? A million questions filled your mind but you did your best to ignore them, focusing only on the task laid out before you.
When you finally reached Oya, however, you saw your boyfriend standing outside the gates and he wasn't alone. Maki stood in front of him with a gift in her hands - it was tall and rectangular in shape with a giant red bow on top. A frown tugged at your lips as your gaze fell to the small box in your own hands, no doubt much cheaper than whatever she had bought him.
You caught Maki's eye and she smirked at you, leaning forward and pressing a kiss to Tsukasa's cheek. Your heart clenched painfully as you turned on your heel, quickly walking away from them. It felt stupid to feel this way, but you just felt as if you couldn't compete with her. You found yourself wondering if you were holding him back, preventing him from being in a relationship that he deserved.
Fingers wrapped gently around your wrist, stopping you in your tracks. You didn't even have to look to know who it was, the scent of vanilla mixing with his cologne wafting across your nose. It was such a beautiful smell, one that you enjoyed deeply, but it couldn't calm your nerves at that moment.
"Hey," Tsukasa called out softly, his hand slipping down until it found its place against your own. "That wasn't what it looked like. She -"
"Really likes you," you interrupted just as softly, unable to face him. "She brings you gifts every day..."
"You knew about that?"
You nodded, lowering your head. "She's really pretty and she has money to spend on you."
"Just what are you trying to say?" his brow furrowed, hand tightening around your own.
"I'm just saying," you took a deep breath, closing your eyes. "That maybe she's a... better fit for you than I am."
"You're joking," he laughed but it lacked any sense of humor. "Is this why you've been so distant with me lately?"
"That's part of it..."
"Then what's the other part?"
You hesitated for a moment before slowly turning toward him and holding out the gift. "I've been working. Here, this is your birthday gift."
His lips parted, gaze flickering between you and the gift as he searched for the right words. "Did you... get a job to buy this?"
"It's not much. Not compared to hers." You muttered the last part under your breath. "Take it."
Instead of doing what you told him, he tugged on your hand, pulling you into his chest. His arms wrapped tightly around your body, one hand going to the back of your head. Your body tensed up at the sudden gesture, having not expected it, but you quickly melted in his warm embrace.
"You didn't have to do that," he told you softly. "And you definitely don't have to compete with Maki."
Your body tensed at the mention of her first name and he sensed it, increasing his hold on you in case you tried to pull away.
"She went to the same elementary school as us," he explained. "She had a massive crush on Fujio back then. She even called me ugly."
You scoffed at this, having seen pictures of him when he was a child thanks to his mom. "You were the cutest kid ever, what the hell?"
Tsukasa chuckled, finally pulling away. "Thank you, hun."
Warmth flooded you at the pet name and you cleared your throat, motioning toward the gift. "Are you gonna open it now?"
"So impatient," he hummed, carefully undoing the bow and handing it to you. He took his time with the paper as if he didn't want to tear it too badly. His brow went up when he saw the jewelry box. "Are you proposing to me?"
"Of course not!" you replied quickly, cheeks darkening at the thought of spending the rest of your life with him. "It's too big to be a ring box."
"Not if it's a big ring."
"Oh my god, Tsu-kun."
He laughed again, the sound pleasing to your ears. After what felt like ages, he finally pulled the lid off and carefully removed the bracelet from the box. He held it up, inspecting it carefully.
You bit your lip nervously, shifting from one foot to the other. "I know it's not much, but -"
"I love it."
"Eh?"
He slid it onto his wrist, eyes shimmering with love as he repeated, "I love it. Thank you so much, hun."
"Really? You really mean it?" You searched his face for any sign that he was lying but you found none.
Instead of answering you, he closed the distance, his hand resting on the side of your neck as his lips claimed your own. Your fingers curled around his shirt, tugging him closer as you returned the kiss, hoping he could feel all of the love you felt for him.
He rested his forehead against your own, a bright smile on his face. "I love you so much."
"I love you, too," you breathed out, unable to stop your own smile.
"And for the record," he explained, brushing your cheek with his thumb. "I didn't want to accept her gifts but Fujio talked me into it. Her dad owns a big bakery and she always brings me sweets from there."
"Sweets?" your brow furrowed. "Not jewelry or clothes?"
"No, just sweets." He frowned, pecking your lips again. "You were really worried about this, weren't you?"
"Not at first," you admitted, tugging at the bottom of his shirt. "It wasn't until I confronted her that I started to feel... I don't know, insecure, I guess."
"What did she say to you?" his eyes darkened. "If she hurt you -"
"Nothing," you replied quickly, not wanting to ruin the moment. "It doesn't matter. I'm sorry for being so weird lately."
"Don't apologize. Just promise me that you'll come to me next time. If there's a problem, we'll work on it together. Okay?"
You nodded, brushing the hair away from his forehead. "I promise."
"Good. I won't accept her gifts anymore."
"Are you sure? Fujio will be sad."
"He'll get over it. Now, come here." His lips found yours again, filled with so much love that it stole your breath away.
You realized how silly you had been to let her words affect you. Tsukasa was your boyfriend and he loved you dearly. He was determined to make sure you knew that and never questioned yourself again.

Birthday Surprise | Platonic!Oya Boys x Oya!FemReader!reader 4
a/n: Hello! I really love this serie so much and wanted to write a cute fluffy part 🤗 Hope you like it ❤️🌸
Sorry for the grammer or spelling mistakes.English is not my main language so...
Thank you and love you 🥰
Warnings: none
Other parts
Tumblr media
* Oya students were hanging out together in the roof. Y/n was taking a nap, leaning on Nakaoka's shoulder. She woke up when the alarm she set to avoid missing the bus, turned off the alarm and rubbed her eyes.
* “Okay, I have to go now. See you guys!” She waved saying goodbye to everyone and left.
* While Tsukasa was shouting for her to be careful behind her, Nakaoka took the card he found on the seat where the young girl was sitting and showed it to everyone .
* "Isn't that y/n's school card? Should we go and give it to her?”
* Todoroki shook his head, laughing sarcastically. “You know that none of us need him."
* While they were all shaking their heads, Fujio stared at the card in the hand of the dreadlock boy. And suddenly he shouted excitedly. “Hey! Did you know that tomorrow is y/n-chan's birthday?"
* When everyone stood up and looked at the card in surprise, they saw that Fujio was right. And they started thinking about preparing a surprise party for tomorrow.
* When Yasushi and Kiyoshi said they wanted a fireworks show, Todoroki and Tsukasa immediately refused, although Fujio and NakaNaka agreed. They didn't want to burn the school down.
* Tsuji and Shibaman said they could make a cake. Even though no one trusts them, they are accepted when Shibaman says they will get help from his older sister.
* Fujio and Tsukasa said they would shop for decorations. Todoroki would buy the drinks.
* Yasushi, Kiyoshi, Jamuo, and Nakagoshi were going to go get the snacks with Motoaki.
* And everyone would secretly decorate the attic during lunch break tomorrow.
* Fujio gave Nakaoka the task of taking y/n-chan out from school and bringing her back again.
* And they were all thinking, what's the worst that could happen?
* The young girl had come to school unaware of everything. Others hid the ingredients and sent y/n to the market at noon with Nakaoka.
* It was pretty funny that she didn't really suspect anything.
* At some point, Kiyoshi was about to say the surprise, but Yasushi stopped him by kicking him.
* The decorations did not last long. A little shouting, little arguments and everything was ready.
* When Fujio called Nakaoka and told him to come here immediately and tell y/n a lie, none of them knew of Nakaoka's stupid plan.
* When the young girl ran into the roof, she was out of breath and suddenly everyone shouted.
* “Happy Birthday Y/n!”
* Fujio was staring at y/n with a whistle in his mouth. When the young girl did not respond, they all looked at her in surprise.
* After a while, they were all shocked when the young girl's eyes filled with tears. They thought they were doing something wrong.
* Everyone understood the situation when Nakaoka nervously called after her. “Y/n, it was just a joke. No one was injured.”
* Fujio approached her as Tsuji hit Nakaoka on the head for telling y/n such a ridiculous lie and scaring her.
* "We're fine y/n-chan, we just wanted to surprise you but I think we screwed up."
* Y/n wiped her eyes and tried to smile. She shrugged and shook her head
* “I…I am happy… really…” Everyone continued to stare at her in surprise. “My parents never celebrate my birthday. I… so I guess I got a little emotional.”
* All the boys looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Fujio smiled and patted the young girl's head and grinned. “We're your family too, you know that right?"
* When Y/n looked up at the others, seeing that they were all smiling at her, she smiled and nodded. They were her family.
* “It's cake time!”
* When Yasushi shouted with the cake in his hand, y/n didn't expect most of the cake to stick to her face.
* While they were all laughing, Fujio took the cake from the young girl's nose with his finger and tasted it. “Hey, not bad!”
* Y/n giggled while the others laughed and began to eat the rest of the cake.
* Y/n was happy. She loved everyone so much and they knew it.
* Oya was a sweet family and this family did not require blood ties…

Wc: 1.6k
An: here it is, part 3! Final part for this one, I had a lot of fun writing this, so hope you enjoy it !
Much love ~ ember
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Y/n POV
I hear him, he's here… but he doesn't know where I am… will he hear me? Maybe if I yell loud enough.
“TSUKASA!” You yell as loud as you can, hoping that it reaches your boyfriend. Hoping that it was enough. Hoping that he was okay, and that he would find you. Oddly enough for the situation you are in, being tied up and punched around yourself, it was impossible not to hear the yelling from outside. You were worried about him. Even in your situation, you were worried about him…
“Y/N!” You hear Tsukasa, along with others. Fujio, Rao, Binzo, Yuken. All of your best friends. They all were there, and they all were looking for you. As weird as it sounds, your heart felt full. You felt happy knowing that they were all there for you. Knowing that they all were willing to do something like this just to make sure you are okay.
“TSUKASA!” You yelled again, as loud as you could. Before you could see who had entered the room, a shock of pain was sent through you, as you were struck again, in the same spot as before. This time though, there was a hand around your throat, slowly getting tighter and cutting off your ability to breathe.
“Shut it! It’s not like they’ll make it here anyways, not with the people I have outside.” Kohei released your neck at the last minute, just as your vision was about to go black from the lack of oxygen.
“You’ve already seen them fight, didn't you learn anything from the first time you took someone from Oya?” Struggling to catch your breath, you did your best to speak. “You lost the first time. What makes you think that this time will be different?”
“This time, I have more people. This time I have stronger people. Some as strong as Rao. This time will be different. This time, we will crush Oya, and you get to watch it happen.” He replies with a smug smile.
The commotion outside overbearing, you wonder where Tsukasa and the others are. Wondering if they are okay. Wondering if they will make it through the swarm of people that Kohei paid to fight them.
They’ll make it. They always do. Be patient. They’re coming.
Endless thoughts running through your mind, and all you want is to run to Tsukasa. To embrace him in the tightest hug, and never let go. Amidst the chaos unraveling around you, thinking about him always calms you down. You sit there, alone and tied up, thinking about the dates that he has taken you on, the deep talks you two have through all hours of the night, even just being with him sitting in silence. Alone, tied up, yet these thoughts bring you joy. They make you feel light. They make you feel free.
Just a few moments later, you can tell that the yelling is getting closer, even over Kohei ordering the people around as if this is a military raid.
“Y/N!” You hear them. They’re close. Close, yet they feel so far.
“TSUKASA!” Yelling again, not caring that Kohei is close by. Even if he hits you again, it's nothing like the beating he's gonna get when Tsukasa finds out he laid even a finger on you.
Suddenly, there is a loud bang, as the doors are kicked open. They boys come running in, and see Kohei and Suzaki, as well as a rather large group in front of them. They stop in their tracks and analyze the situation.
Tsukasa’ s POV
“Don’t worry about them, just get to y/n.” Fujio says behind him.
“Binzo, make a path for Tsukasa.” Rao chimes in.
“Gladly. Let’s go.” Binzo replies with an icy tone, and a fire in his eyes.
Not giving the group the chance to say anything, the fight starts. Binzo and Tsukasa make their way through. Again, not having to do much, he follows Binzo.
He really is like a wild animal. It doesn't seem like he's even lost an ounce of energy.
As the fight continues, Tsukasa continues looking for you, until he sees the rope tied around the railing above. He’s so close. So close to finally having you in his arms again. Yet he feels so far, seeing Kohei and Suzaki standing in his way.
“I'll take Suzaki. I expect Kohei to be beaten to a pulp by the time we're done.” Binzo says. His words sent chills down Tsukasa’s spine. There is no mercy in his tone. He’s out for blood. Even with the sense of urgency he got from Binzo, he felt an overwhelming sensation of ferocity. He knew he would beat Kohei, and he wouldn’t stop until the man was on the ground, unable to continue fighting. That was the only way to get to you.
The two take off towards you, ready to eliminate anyone or anything in their way. At first, only Suzaki engaged in the fight, Binzo taking the lead. While those two were busy, Tsukasa made his way forward. Kohei, feeling intimidated, took a few steps back, before retreating to the staircase, with Tsukasa following close behind him.
As they reach the top of the stairs, Tsukasa sees you. Finally, I made it to her. Wait. Is that?! Is that a cut on her cheek?! As soon as Tsukasa looked at you, with your head down and eyes closed, a sense of rage filled him, stronger than any rage he has ever felt before. Seeing the cut on your cheek, knowing that if he wouldn’t have been late to meet you, this would have never happened. He was filled with rage, with the one who caused it standing right in front of him, he unleashed.
Punch after punch, Kohei didn't have time to grab any sort of protection or weapon. He was completely helpless. Tsukasa, letting out his fury, didn’t even give him time to catch his feet, as he toppled over, landing on his back.
Tsukasa grabs him by the collar, staring straight into his eyes. Fire growing in his own.
“Did you do that to her? Did you hit her?” He yells in his face, unable to control the anger that he felt.
“It’s not my fault she’s so damn stubborn.” Kohei says, his own ego controlling his words. He knew that he shouldn’t have admitted to hitting her, but in his head, he was right to do so. His short fuse got the best of him, and his ego led him to believe that he was always right.
More punches are thrown by Tsukasa, as Kohei laid there, practically unconscious. Tsukasa would have kept going, but your voice pulled him back to reality.
Y/n POV
Is that him? He made it! He’s here!
“Tsukasa!” You exclaimed, lifting your head as the exhaustion leaves you, and you are filled with joy seeing your boyfriend. He turns around, and that is when you see him on top of an almost unconscious Kohei. Surprise filled your eyes, followed by concern. Seeing this, Tsukasa gets off the man, and runs over to you.
“Y/n, are you okay?” He asked. The rage that he felt before was now masked with concern.
“I’m alright, I’m just happy that you’re here now.” You said, unable to hold back the tears that are stinging your eyes. Seeing this, Tsukasa immediately unties the rope that was around you and pulls you into the tightest hug. Releasing a sigh, you both felt whole again. Like it was just the two of you in the room. No fighting, no yelling. Pure bliss, as you are finally reconnected with the one you love.
“Was it Kohei who hit you?” Tsukasa asks, gently cupping the side of your face.
“Yeah.” You said, looking down. Gently, he grabs your chin, and kisses the bruise on your cheek. His lips are always so soft, especially when you are hurt. He is always so gentle with you. You're the most precious thing in his life, and he never fails to show you that.
“Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of him.” He says, locking your eyes with his, “And I’m never letting anyone take you away from me again.” He says, eyes still locked on yours. He plants a sweet kiss to your lips, and picks you up bridal style. Immediately, as if it is second nature to you, you lay your head on his shoulder, and take in his warmth.
“Let’s go home, love.” He says. Even with the chaos that is all around the two of you, he still makes you feel like the only one in the world. His eyes are filled with the purest love and admiration, as he kisses your nose before walking down the stairs.
As soon as the rest of the room sees the two of you, the fighting stops. Cheers erupt, with a hint of groaning in the background, coming from the people laying on the ground. Even Suzaki shows a hint of a smile, happy that you weren’t hurt too bad. Suzaki takes off running up the stairs to check on Kohei, and Tsukasa makes his way out of the building, still with you in his arms, and he's not about to let go anytime soon.
More cheers fill your ears, as you exit the building, as Oya high is ecstatic to see their golden girl back safe in Tsukasa’s arms. Shortly after, they make way for the two of you to lead them home. Following behind, they continue to cheer and talk about the fight, also letting out a groan of pain here and there, yet all you could focus on was Tsukasa. Unfazed by the large group behind you, you couldn't stop yourself from staring at him. He truly is your protector. The one who will always be there no matter the situation. The one to always bring you home. In that moment, you realized, among those things, he is also your forever.

hi
when I see this picture I sometimes think that Sakura is controlling tsukasa using the radio .well what do you think about this picture
Is it true that tsukasa is getting stronger with the destruction of the yourishiro
Tumblr media
Nice day
Funny, I was talking about this with a friend the other day hahaha
Apparently yes, Sakura seems to be wanting to hide her actions from Tsukasa, although this scene is quite controversial because she is with the kokujoudai, and if she is with him, Tsukasa would know what she did.
Tumblr media
What it suggests is that Sakura doesn't seem very satisfied that her wish is close to coming true. She doesn't seem happy about it, Tsukasa himself asks her.
Tumblr media
He's not the type to leave work half done, how troublesome would it be if she gave up?
At the same time we have the classic duality or counterversion of JSHK, Sakura wants Yashiro to remove the seals and everything to be destroyed.
So how do we fit in the idea that she doesn't want to fulfill her desire and at the same time does?
Maybe she just doesn't want Tsukasa to know something specific or she doesn't want to pay for that wish in the future. Or she wanted to gain Nene's trust.
If Sakura hadn't said that Tsukasa wasn't listening to the conversation, what difference would it have made to Nene? She didn't even know that Sakura couldn't talk about her lifespan, or rather, she didn't even know that Sakura had that knowledge.
Let's remember that Sakura seems to have difficulty relating to humans, she always reads books to try to understand Mitsuba or how to act socially, the moment she meets Nene she becomes confused.
Tumblr media
Nene says she was expecting a trap and Sakura apologizes for not setting one. Did you understand?
Tumblr media
Sakura's intentions and feelings are still mysterious, she seems to have a secret that not even Tsukasa knows, or that she doesn't want him to know.
Basically she told Nene that if she doesn't remove the seals she will stay alive, but at the same time she wants Nene to remove the seals. She also makes a point of showing Nene what happened to Sumire because she didn't remove the seal.
It could be because Sakura is impatient and doesn't want to wait for Hanako to destroy Tsukasa, which I imagine would take a long time or not actually happen. Yashiro removing the seal would be faster, wouldn't it?
So let's look at one more hypothesis, what if Tsukasa wants Hanako to destroy him? He wanted to see how Amane was going to kill him, so he might want to see if Hanako would have the courage to destroy him or for some other reason.
And that's why he didn't want Yashiro to see how Sumire was devoured, because he wanted it to be just between him and his brother? He specifically wanted Nene to remove the seal, but the one who sent Hakubo back to the boundary was Sakura. Tsukasa sent Yashiro there and Tsukasa asked Sakura if she had found Sumire, that is, Sakura didn't say that she sent Hakubo there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So Tsukasa imagined that the one who took the seal was Yashiro, because the boundary was destroyed, so hypothetically he wouldn't know that the one who destroyed Sumire was Hakubo and that Yashiro found out what happens when she doesn't take the seal.
If Kokujoudai knew that Hakubo ate Sumire (because Koku was with Sakura and she was on the boundary) then it means that Tsukasa knew too.
Tumblr media
Unless Kokujoudai is also against Tsukasa for some reason.
In the arc of the clock, Nene lets slip some information
When Yashiro refuses for the first time to take off his yorishiros, Tsukasa asks why "you were taking them off before, why it's only now a problem?"
Tumblr media
Then, little Nene says that she doesn't want to take the yorishiros away because she's going to die, and Tsukasa doesn't react in any way to that, in fact he ignores it, which suggests that he already knew, or that he just found out but didn't showed no reaction to this.
Tumblr media
So, all of this is still a bit nebulous to interpret correctly, we need more information before choosing a more suitable hypothesis.
About Tsukasa being stronger with the removal of the seals. We don't know, he doesn't show much of his abilities other than the physical strength and agility that we are used to seeing. But, I noticed that Tsukasa seems to be acting more "human" than he usually does. Especially in the last chapters.
It seems like he's showing the more "Tsukasa" side rather than the "creature" or God side, whatever you prefer to call it.
So far this was one of the only subtle changes I noticed in him. For now
For now, that's what we can speculate. I hope you liked it, thanks for the ask! ♡

Ch 103: Random thoughts (part 1)
Tumblr media
Aww... a really nice shot of this awesome boy? His fangs, eyes, carefree & graceful moves... perfect.
We're off to a good start, it seems!
Tumblr media
"Tsukasa-kun said..." - By Yashiro Nene.
Really, the 2 things are perfectly structured, gorgeous first pages to start a chapter with. Well, Tsukasa deserves no less. ♡ I can go now and say, if things developed for better or worse, I can assume this first page is the whole chapter and I'm satisfied with that.
Tumblr media
A nice way of thinking, Nene-chan! Haha, I'm yet again, proven right to assume that Amane had a reason for trying to fix the clock that has to do with "time control". A point goes to me. ~ Ah, if what I assumed to be "the reason" turns out to be true... hmm... let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Tumblr media
I love Mitsuba's reaction. He is so right to panic. While Nene is used to this, that was his first time, and he ended up meeting "living Tsukasa" of all people, such a reaction is perfect! Speaking about Nene, she was pretty collected even in her first time. "can we talk to anyone about it", an awesome thing to suggest! Wow, Nene, I believe that thing you confidently pointed out, works for both of you, you know? The 2 of you met him, and he really talked directly to you and asked you to come play again with him (them)?
Tumblr media
It hurts me a little... that I still have to consider this... she is not ready to talk to him, and she has a point, I have to say. Maybe she advised Mitsuba to go talk to Tsukasa because they are together after all. ....... makes sense. Ah... maybe it's still not the time for you to go to him, but we're getting closer it looks like. One day it will happen. When things get better between the 2 of you. I hope that day will come soon.
Tumblr media
He has a thing for seeing things as "scary". And... wow... I can't say he is wrong in what he said... it's so Tsukasa... so... I agree with him...
The scene with Nene, Hanako, Kou and Mitsuba was fun,
Tumblr media
Love his reaction. <3 Hanako's speech...
Tumblr media
Hmm... I can't really object on his decision. It's his past after all, it's up to him whether to want to remember about it or just leave it behind. Though, I really don't know whether to take his words as he didn't remember a thing or ended up remembering 'something' at least and is just keeping it to himself? Nene... is being too thoughtful and cute as always. She is too observing in there, even.
Tumblr media
Feels so good to see many shots of Nene observing every word Hanako says, every movement he makes really closely, caringly and thoughtfully. (reminds me of someone) Then she is deep in thought, thinking about him, his past self/situation, then present self/situation...
Tumblr media
Then reaches to the conclusion she wants to see him happy instead of how he was always 'sad' (as she thinks) in his past and hopes he never remembers. Ah... she is really too soft, caring and gentle. But, I think... life doesn't work this way, Nene-chan... there is no running away from one's past, sadly. Thinking about it in a little different way, isn't she now the one keeping things from him and doesn't want him to know about or to remember, now? It's of course, out of her care for him and his well-being. Maybe now, she can get why at times he behaves the same way with her and keeps her in the dark about his past and some other cases?
Tumblr media
This whole thing is getting too emotional to me now...
Tumblr media
It's cute AidaIro seem to be trying to bring some old stuff back and remind us of them lately.
Tumblr media
Next is,
Tumblr media
Ok, I have to say, this whole scene was funny. Akane voiced all his heart, it was too funny.
Now this!!! *take a deep breath*
Tumblr media
Oh... Red Kokujoudai makes the... STUPIDEST appearance ever. Really? Going right into Teru's hand? I don't care if it made a cool show and burnt it, why go in there in the first place you stupid thing? To make things clear, Tsukasa is not the one who sent it after Akane, it's his assistant and her servant. (if it was him I would have had called him stupid as well, but... is it a smart move to leave it with these 2 or to allow them/her to use it?)To some degree, it's hard for me at the moment to call that thing Tsukasa's, It's hers. It's with her almost all the time lately, working as a "spy". It's only like an accessory with Tsukasa. *sigh* If Tsukasa left it with them for a while for some reason... -don't... they use it in the stupidest way.
Also, couldn't it just get back after knowing where the boundry of No.1 is, was it needed to keep following Akane, until it fell under Teru's grap? That's really a stupid move. Can't believe it's the same thing that got in Nene's pocket during the Misaki stairs arc, and went back successfully without taking any unnecessary risks. I really laughed when it was crushed by Teru's hand and went running back to the 2, crying. So well-deserved.
It's not only it. How stupid can the 2 who sent it get? she is the one who "likes to work from the shadows"// "as it was said in one of the cards about her" Yet she, alongside her servant made the stupid thing of letting Red koku go after Akane until it got in Teru's hand, in pure day light. How cautious. Haha, nope. How stupid, actually. Will continue with this thing when we get a little further into things. Now, I need to mention a little something...
Tumblr media
Even little Koku can make a fiery show and burn Teru's hand. Tsuaksa doesn't have a thing to do with fire? Yeah, sure. (thinking about how funny it is… that the 'first time' the minamoto brothers 'fought' the twins… they ended up with burnt hands) Ok, back to Red Koku...
Tumblr media
Why did it run to "her" instead of "Tsukasa" exactly? As Teru said, it works for its owner, Tsukasa is its owner... or is it really... her? That's too stupid, right? This little thing plays favorites I assume, it got infected from roaming around that servant of hers (she is a dog person... so he is like... her dog), and became a second him when it comes to that girl? Which brings me to, what a nice attitude Red koku! you deserve a clap from me. Now, sakura's dog is your friend? you cry out your pain to him? you go around him all lovingly... how awesome... much more lovingly than I see here, huh?
Tumblr media
Yet, you don't care, sir. Just saying... keep this thing away from you... you'll get filthy and infected from the dog as well. Can't afford to see you (seriously) going around that girl like koku & her dog do.
I don't find it cute or "oh! Red koku is really friendly". It's working with 2 who clearly are doing things of their own, not including his master in their "game", and don't care for him.
Tumblr media
Be friendly with people who "care" for your master, then play with them all you want, I will find it cute then.
Comparing how Red Koku feels to me while with her to while it is with Tsukasa for a moment...
It's with her almost all the time lately (if Tsuaksa is the one who lets it, then fine......., but if not...), working as a "spy" and doing whatever she asks. It's only like an accessory with Tsukasa, while with her it's this awesome? This powerful? To be frank, it made a nice fiery show for Tsukasa back in ch 17, was a nice help in some other cases like in the p.p arc... but really... with her it's all devoted, hardworking, loyal and faithful, it's... stupid. Did this thing report what happened in No.6's boundary to its master aka: Tsukasa? or just because the assistant doesn't want him to discover a thing it didn't bother? If it did report what happened and will report what happened again in this chapter to him, then that's better. I can't sit here with that thing being a little traitor, working hard for someone other than its owner and keeps secrets from him, even. Really, where is its loyalty? It's all given to the assistant? It enjoys the company of the 2 more than its master to the point it ran to them? to the hand of the assistant and then started crying to her servant? Then roaming around him? why? As Teru said, you're supposed to be serving your master? But thing is, you are not. Really, I don't get why Tsukasa trusts her with Red koku this much, to the point she feels like a second master to it, and that servant of hers feels like a third. Is there a 4th, koku? I'm tired of this. Red haku helps Nene at times and stays with her, but as Hanako orders. Nene doesn't hold any power over it, it doesn't run to Nene, it runs to him, it reports things to him. Who is your master? the green-haired girl? I don't think so? Then you're not faithful, unlike red Haku. God, I love that little thing. Try to learn from red Haku, red koku.
Is red koku natsuhiko 2.0 at this point? Can't help but fall for the fake charm of that girl? pathetic. Too pathetic for me to call it Tsukasa's. Tsukasa is not head over heels for some girl just because she is... what?! what did she do for you?! she didn't even care to comfort you when you got back, after all you did for her, at least her servant tried.
I had my suspicions about that little thing since long ago... and it's still going that way... until when? It's getting truly annoying. Do you mean to tell me it didn't report anything that happened in No.6's boundary to Tsukasa, just as the assistant wants? Then, it went again and kept on working as a spy for her? Really? like... I'm sorry but... is Tsukasa that stupid not to notice it's not with him for a long time? In the No.6 thingy, he was assumingly unconscious during that time. Now??? He just doesn't care? This "I don't care" side of Tsukasa....... What if red koku didn't manage to escape from Teru? you would have to go face him? (While you try to stay in the dark) only because the 2 with you are too stupid and put you in this situation. I get it you had to rely on the 2's help and lent them red koku at the start of the story in the Misaki stars case, but now? while they are making foolish decisions and using your thing for... ugh... make a move sir. You just don't care to make one, huh?
*sigh* To conclude all that 'red koku' rant, if it's fully faithful & loyal to Tsukasa, keeps him updated with all that's going on on his assistans side all the time and doesn't keep secrets from him, and Tsukasa is the one who left it with them for some time and ordered it to do as they want, then I don't have any issue with Red koku anymore (forgetting about how it treats the 2, because I still don't like that while I still see them ready to stab its master in the back). Still, leaving it with them is a bad decision, they are clearly not worthy of having it around or using it. On the other hand, if its loyality goes to her and it really became a second dog to her, that would be a problem.
Ok, that took too long, back to the chapter events...
Tumblr media
It's a simple thing for her to smile, then. Where were these expressions before? You don't even need to read books to act around Nene or the students? you're handling it too well. Take a pic? you will become a black mist or whatever in there, if you were a ghost? but, that servant of her seemed to be taking pics of her... and she didn't mind for some reason... -ah... I have no intention of going back to my "you're on the line between life and death" thing, it's to tiring to talk about and I don't care to do that, you can be whatever, I don't really care.
And really, is it needed for maids to wear their costume a week before the festival and not on its day? I see... we were supposed to see how cute and pretty she looks early? because maybe we won't get to see her as a maid later? hate to break it... she looks.. plain... normal... too normal.
Though, I hate to think... that Nene who says she doesn't feel right without her brooch is not wearing it while working for the festival, while this girl does. The mysteries of the brooches... what do they mean to their owners?
Tumblr media
Really, shut up. Can I say... this simp is getting really annoying and extremely disgusting with him being clingy to her and roaming around her the time? Act like a man... how stupid. Deep down, I feel she enjoys it. As a dog person, it's nice to see a dog roaming around her. They fit each other perfectly. I feel like hitting that face of his with a shoe, I'm not joking. kiss my shoe you disgusting creature. He lacks any personality beside his wierd smiles/smirks/looks/and being a faithful dog to her. (no offence to real-life dogs in any thing I said in this whole post, they are awesome).
Tumblr media
This girl doesn't seem to make up her mind... one time she is super confident.. one time she is hesitant. really? Her acting skills are too convincing, that it seems she herself fell for her own trick.
Tumblr media
Using everyone to get to what I want is fun. - That's what you meant. How funny, a moment ago she was smiling at this girl & willing to take some pictures with her, now she is looking emotionlessly and smugly at her while using her & the others to her advantage. Fun? you're going to ruin that fun for everyone and be the only to have fun alongside your dog, you forgot? lol, even the "sakura" petals are dark & black, I wonder what they represent... the nature of the one who flew them? What did she do to the students? Some kind of controlling thing? why would No.4 make such a thing?- What a nice lady! She will ruin things for her fun... Hmm... well... she is the one who is ready to put everyone and everything on the line for her own sake...
Tumblr media
She is only proving her words to be right once again, not only with Kou or Nene (Akane or Aoi),
Tumblr media
But with everyone and everything she can have at hand. ....... including the 2 with her (Tsuaksa, who is a yorishiro, and the one who is working for her, she says to both their faces she doesn't care & is happy if ALL "including them" are gone for her sake). Does she have a heart, I wonder. Forgetting about that, what is Tsukasa's reaction to her going her own way with her servant?
Tumblr media
............ And it would be hilariously funny, if she is still after keeping things a "secret" from him.
Tumblr media
LOL, let me remind you for the 100 time, you're using his 'red koku', he can simply "see" it's not by his side, and you took it for some reason. He still lets you take it. look at how much he cares. Another thing, can't he feel its powers while being used? the time in ch 95 we may say he didn't for a special reason, but now? nothing prevents him from doing so, when red koku made some huge fire. Hmm... how about red Haku...? Did it sense anything?
Tumblr media
It feels it when kokujoudai is used or in action, right? so......?
Going back to the thing of red koku not going back to Tsukasa... maybe AidaIro don't want us to see Tsukasa just yet, but it's hard for me to accept, since from the very start, red koku was never sent for a task Tsukasa gave it, it was working for the other 2, who are clearly doing their own thing, without a care of Tsukasa and without even including him, that little... ah... don't want to call it a traitor... I still want to go give it some chance as I said before. But like, really... these 2... what a shame... you rely on Tsukasa's abilities 'red koku' while doing your own things. What a shame. What a shame. Some people just have no dignity at all.
Anyway, in conclusion, my suspicions about red koku seem to be increasing. red Koku... stop acting stupid. Go ahead and prove to me how much faithful & loyal to Tsukasa you are, ok?
Ok, now going to the part of their "plan/game",
First part was to "use" Akane: Don't want to repeat myself... so here.
Tumblr media
Wow, I have to say… I did an awesome job expecting all these 2 would do. I was right. ~ They behaved just as I described.
So, he tried this...

↬ cherry blossom tree | takagi tsukasa
In the peaceful night of the Oya district, a sound of footsteps echoes. As she runs away from the trouble, she takes deep breaths, sweat drips down her forehead, and her heart beats rapidly. She paused for a moment before proceeding to the alley. The alley was extremely dark. However, she discovered a purple neon light in the corner, thought to herself, "it must be an exit," and hurriedly approached it. After successfully exiting the alley, she looked around to see if anyone had witnessed her exit before resuming her run. She constantly checking behind her to make sure nobody is following her. She failed to look in her path, which caused her to run into someone and fall to the ground. A blonde-haired man wearing a pink polo shirt was standing there when she looked up, but the purple neon light made it difficult for her to see his face well. With a concerned tone, he asked "Are you okay?" and hesitantly offered his hand to help her stand up.
Despite her reluctance to accept his small help, she heard a male voice approaching them before she reached his hand. The blonde guy was swift and quickly grabbed her hand to make her stand, then hid in a mini passageway. After looking around, they discovered the man with a student uniform who had been following her constantly. They then encountered another man also wearing a student uniform, with whom they conversed for a bit before setting off to locate her.
The blonde man regarded her with suspicion and enquired as to her relationship with the two men and the reason they were chasing her away. He was continually disturbed and irate about the fact that you were being pursued by the two individuals in the group he despised, asking, "why are you being chased by the two members of yasukiyo faction?" When she tried to speak, she was unable to do so because she was attempting to find the perfect words to explain her position to him. She simply stood still and stared at him. She did nothing more than flee once more.
After arriving home, she went right to her room and collapsed into bed exhausted. Shortly after, her friend Yui sent her a message. She read the message, assuming that Yui was intoxicated while talking about her new friend, "Where were you, I thought you would come with me after school? We were supposed to get crazy at the club tonight :( also I made a new friend!" She just seen the message of her friend, and don't have energy to reply back.
She wakes up the following morning around 6:15 am, giving her plenty of time to get ready for school. She observed a cherry blossom on the way to school, indicating that spring, her favorite season, has already arrived. As soon as she noticed Yui and Madoka standing inside the gate, close to the entrance, she sprinted toward them. Before Yui even spotted her, Madoka did, and she immediately gave her a shoulder tap to let her know she's already here. Madoka greeted me and reached out to give me a hug while smiling, saying, "Kazu-chan," I then turned to look at Yui, who was busily scanning the area beyond the gate. When she saw me glancing at her, she hastily shrugged. "What's wrong? Why do you keep staring at the gate?" I went to her and questioned her. She reassured us that there is nothing troubling about how she is acting right now by answering, "Nothing" with a smile.
I just nodded in response, "we should head inside and do club activities" Madoka added, and then we all headed inside.
~~~
Yui, Madoka, and I are all on our way home together. Yui informed us that she does drug sales secretly from the school and her parents knowledge. "and also.." Before Yui could finish her thought, Madoka cried, "eh, there's more!?" Yui then said, "I was followed by a strange man since this morning."
Next, she turned to face the right side of the street. We both glanced, and Madoka and I noticed a tall man—almost six feet tall. Yui and I attempted to stop Madoka as she approached him. I gripped her arm and pleaded, "Madoka-chan, please don't." She could not be stopped, so we were forced to watch her approach the man. Yui then called her out "Madoka-senpai!".
"OI! Jerk! Stalker!" Madoka yelled at the man, he was confused that Madoka is yelling at someone or him, so he point himself if he was the one getting yelled at. "You! Yes, you!" Madoka keeps scolding the man, that she didn't notice that Yui and Kazumi was getting kidnapped. Kazumi suddenly became aware of the disturbance next to her, threw her bag at the other man, and kicked him in the stomach.
The tall man was quick to see it and took off running as swiftly as he could, hitting the green hair man in the head. While the tall man was fighting the other dudes, Madoka and I quickly went to Yui. Yui then asked "You, the person from housen, right?" The tall man replied "eh?" Yui continued, "those pants are from housen, right?" The red hair man respond, "housen?" Before the beating starts again, a van suddenly appeared out of nowhere infront of us. The red hair man's people are inside, and then he jump onto the van, "I will remember your face" he said looking at the tall man.
After the conflict. The tall man who introduced himself as Sawamura offered to escort us home, but I politely declined. I informed him that I could go home by myself. I said goodbye to them and we parted ways.
Before going straight home, I went to the cherry blossom tree and sat under it, grabbing the pack of cigarettes inside my bag and pulling one of them inside, getting my lighter inside the bag and clicking on it until it lit a fire, but before the fire came into contact with the cigarette, someone snatched it from my hand. I swiftly looked behind the tree, my eyes widening in surprise, only to see him again, the guy I ran into and the guy who saved me from the Yasukiyo faction that night.
"You know that smoking is harmful, right?"

Hiii <3 May I request izumi and ritsu with a s/o who's hasn't been playing attention to them because of a new game (or something of that sort) that they've been obsessed with? maybe even a romance game tehee ;3 i LOVEEE your writing style <33
𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚊𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎?! | izumi & ritsu
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[an]: hello there, gorgeous <3 ! tysm for requesting! ^w^ sorry if this took a while! ToT i had more requests than i expected so i hope it didn’t bother u much TwT
summary: all and all over, your eyes just seemed to be always glued to that screen. and they desperately want your attention back :( if that’s alright…? yet, just how can they have your eyes on him once again?
pairing: izumi & ritsu x g/n!reader! [ separate ! ]
genre: fluff! <3
Tumblr media
IZUMI SENA
it was the 3rd time of the day in which you told your boyfriend to ‘hold on.’
izumi wasn’t sure if he was annoyed because you wouldn’t slide your attention towards him after some awful lot of practice (not to mention tsukasa’s loud lecturing) or it was because he was worried about your eyes always glued to that goddamn device. maybe both? either of it, he was still pissed to the fact you’re rarely giving him any mind. at all.
after a new trending game came out, izumi began to see you use your phone more often than what you used to. eyes appealed to the app shown on the screen rather than looking at him. the izumi sena of knights. a gorgeous model, as well. he wasn’t bragging yet he probably was? he can’t comprehend the situation well, he had no idea what he was feeling !
he told this to his unit…and the answers were adding more to his annoyance. he never heard leo laugh so much in his life that tsukasa had to shush him down, ritsu was asleep on the floor like always and arashi was the only one that managed to answer, seriously. “it’s quite natural…! i’ve heard of the game but i haven’t got to try it yet since i’m a little busy these days with our schedule. but just calm down, one day they’ll give their attention back to you, it’s just a game after all,” arashi told him, fixing her hair while staring into her tiny mirror.
izumi scoffs, “oh please, it’s been almost weeks now and they rarely send me messages, communicate or go out with me because of that game that i have no idea of what they find it so fun and distracting..!” arashi laughed nervously while looking at the white haired male. he was really angry, everyone can tell. she didn’t really knew much about your relationship, all the girl knew was that you two liked each other very much and that your relationship with izumi was just ok! turning her chair to face him, arashi sighs—her palm carrying her face. “don’t pressure yourself too much because of this~”
leo cuts them off, “are you actually jealous of a game??? BWAHAHAHA…!” he says, hands on his stomach as he laughed endlessly on the floor of the training room. izumi sent the male a cold glare however leo didn’t even pay attention to the signal. tsukasa stands up, walking towards the laughing male before grabbing his arm calmly to help him up, “how did you even find that funny?”
“BECAUSE..! PFFT—HAHAHAHA..!”
“alright leo, take deep breaths now.”
“TSUKINAGA SHUT IT..! IT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY..!”
“n-now, now, izumi calm down…”
“ughh…you guys are so loud i’m trying to sleep..”
the situation ended up with arashi pulling izumi away from leo in order to avoid him from punching him in the face.
this…happened just a day ago, however it was soon calmed down when arashi explained to izumi to try and grab your attention by doing something that might distract you out of the game. somehow, the male quickly took the advice even though he tried plenty of times to win back your eyes on him. it might be tough, but just like the ‘big sister’ said; “it’s worth the shot~”
izumi had…quite the hard time driving back your attention to his. in fact, you were more distracted than he expected. answering with just hums, hm, yeah, or small words as a reply. this grew to irate him a little more—yet just like how arashi told him, just calm down. he can’t believe he’s taking advice from her. well, she was kind girl after all, and insightfully intelligent as well.
but…just this time, he sorta snapped.
it was his fifth time calling your name from the bed, you were sitting on the floor with your thumb across the screen, eyes locked towards the device to focus on your game. izumi’s eyebrows furrowed down. it has been like this forever, and he is attention deprived. the only source of sound was coming from your game, and nothing else. cord finally snapping, the male launches next to your side and grabbed your phone away in a fast motion. you reacted quick. “huh?! h-hey..! izumi! give that back…!” you yelled. izumi refused to let your grasp take a hold of your phone, and this caused you to stand up from the floor and try to reach for the device.
izumi clicks his tongue, “what’s even good about this game anyway???”
“i’m in the middle of playing…! give…! it…back..!” the both of you had a small fight with you trying to take the phone while izumi completely held the phone as highly away from you as he can.
you were so focused on trying to get back to your game that you didn’t realized that you were already sitting on top of him. with your hand reaching for the phone, you stopped when izumi pulls your chin down to look towards his face. that asshole was wearing a grin, his left hand still holding onto your phone while his right was still on your chin.
“you finally looked over here.”
realization finally hit to you when you felt your legs shake beneath another cloth that wasn’t your floor carpet nor the bed cushions. holy shit, you were sitting on his lap. the sight made you stunned, 50 shades of red covering your entire face before looking back at your boyfriend. that asshole was wearing his shit eating grin, and now with your burning red face looking right at him—that guy’s grin grew wider. “cute…heh, i guess naru’s advice worked after all.” you didn’t get to say anything else before you felt a pair of lips land on yours, lovingly.
the kiss was passionate, not too passionate. it was like your lover wanted to kiss you again after such a long time. well, you were distracted by the game after all you could guess why he was being so touchy today. your lips only separated when you needed air, then he was back to kissing you. the kiss lasted for about 1 minute, then you finally let go and he lands his face to your neck, taking measured breaths. you laughed so cherry he feels the butterflies about to erupt out of his stomach. “what made you so affectionate today?”
“you rarely give me attention anymore because of that stupid game you’re always playing…”
“are you jealous?”
“shut up.”
you both stayed like that for a while. maybe you should try convincing him to play it as well. as long as he’s not busy that is…
Tumblr media
RITSU SAKUMA
ritsu had no idea how to deal with these sorts of situations…
including if they were something he had not experienced much before other than isara giving him some small advise about it. still, regardless of how much he tried to call your name, it’ll end up in a humming response. and if you did give 0.01% of your attention to ritsu, 99% of it will just turn back to the game you’re currently playing.
the knights member was confused between feeling irritated or upset. it was probably a mixture of both. however more of it, he was feeling down. you were his significant other…and as his lover, ritsu was entrusted to you that you would cuddle him whenever it was time for bed or nap times since…half of his daily life schedule is sleep, sleep, and sleep. you did ! on the last few months of being in a relationship with the male. although, you see…there was this new game you’ve been aching to try out ever since your friends had convinced you to play it and then here you are.
what the young ‘vampire’ was worrying about is that he couldn’t grab any of your attention towards him like you do before, it upsets him very. he tried asking the big sister of the knights, isara (thrice) and a couple other of his friends (except for rei, he pretended like he doesn’t know him). still, ritsu had no idea how to win your eyes back on him.
it was evening, ritsu (like always) stopped by at your place after a long day of idol duties. isara was the one who dropped him by and left afterwards after ritsu laid down on top of your bed beside you. you were playing on the phone like you always do, and ritsu pretended to be asleep, yet he was secretly admiring your face and how adorable you looked when concentrated. it was soon ruined when you paused your game, stood up, and went down to your bed to grab your charger and continue playing. ritsu soon sat up after you left his side, a frown painted upon his expression.
if only you could just take your eyes away from that screen for a moment…and he could just have your eyes on him alone…
“y/n…” he calls, voice in a whisper. no reply…ritsu pouts, hugging onto a pillow. he misses talking to you with long conversations. he missed playing the piano while you do the violin. gah, he was starting to sound desperate. but…this was normal right…? including if you’re wanting affection from your lover. arashi told him earlier that it was absolutely fine to confront you about this, as long as he’s calm about it and not end up in a heat up argument (since she’s not there to break it, arashi was close to you after all), but…your warmth…ritsu really misses your warmth. the way it made him fall asleep so easily with just your arms wrapped around him.
slowly crawling out of your bed…the male finds himself scooting his figure closer to yours while you didn’t even bother to turn around and look at him. he was tired, so tired…all needed after all hard day’s work was your arms wrapped around his body. just one glance from your view…it’s already enough.
you felt two pairs of arms wrap around your neck from behind…along with a blanket covering your back and warming yourself while playing. this finally had caught your attention. pausing the game, you turned your head a little to see ritsu snoozing off over your shoulders. you looked at him, stunned. “ritsu…? what’s up..?” you can hear him sigh in satisfaction. “y/n…mm, you finally looked at me…” he says, and you rose a brow up. was he still half asleep? “what do you mean by that?” you questioned.
there was a second silence before your boyfriend answered. yawning over your neck, he looks down on your phone, “that game has been stealing you from me recently…tell me, what’s so interesting about it…?”
ah, crap
“eh…?! h-has it been??”
ritsu nods his head. “i miss cuddling with you, you know?” he adds, nuzzling further deeper down your neck. “at least give me a good night kiss before i head down first to bed?” a light laugh erupts out of your lips before placing your phone down—it had been a particularly long time since you last slept together with the male after spending endless nights playing the new game you’re obsessed with. however, probably this day wouldn’t be so bad to take a small break for once. as you placed your phone somewhere safe to charge, you tapped ritsu’s shoulder, and he replies with a hum. “wanna head to bed, now? i wanna rest.”
his smile just made your day
you helped him get up and lay down on the soft cushions, his arms opened—waiting for you to come in. when you dug in his warmth, the heat radiating from his body mixed with your cooled down in a soft atmosphere. you did give him a good night kiss along with a whispered; ‘i love you.’ ritsu’s smile didn’t fade that night…your forehead stick to his while he snores, peacefully…his smile always glued on. you thought, maybe you fucked up…not giving your boyfriend any attention when you know he needs it. he can be attention and affection deprived from time to time and you can’t really blame him for it. for ritsu, he was like a child and you were his favorite teddy bear. not like you were complaining.
the next morning you both woke up at 11:36am. and ritsu was late for his idol duties. let’s just say you both got an earful from tsukasa.
Tumblr media
a/n: if i don’t get rei’s card i’m gonna commit arson

HI HELLO SO I PRETTY MUCH LOVE YOUR WRITING AND CAN I REQUEST CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS HC WITH TSUKASA IF ITS NOT MUCH? (I JUST THINK ITD BE CUTE) PLEASE AND THANK YOU AND TAKE YOUR TIME!
AWW TY !! this was vv cute to write, i think that you'd like this req here since it was also childhood friends weheh <3 but I hope you like this !! <3
♡ CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS - Tsukasa Tenma x Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tsukasa certainly had an...Interesting childhood, but you would always make it better!
Before she was hospitalized, you, Saki and Tsukasa were the trio of trouble!
Tsukasa would definitely love to perform shows for you and Saki, but he would sometimes ask if you wanted to be in them as well! He would always want to play the prince saving you from danger <3
When Saki was sent to the hospital, you would often go with Tsukasa to visit her. You would also laugh with Saki as he performed for her (and get you two kicked out multiple times-)
He grows up to be the future star that you know today, and as you grew older, you couldn't help but realize that the butterflies in your stomach when you around him were...not the most platonic, to say the least
Meanwhile, he was learning he felt the exact same way. It takes a lot of talking to Saki and WxS, but he learns that he's fallen for you! He honestly can't say he's surprised though, you were always his favorite co-star!
You always made an effort to go to WxS shows, both to support them and just to watch your crush Tsukasa. It was after one of these shows that the two of you confess to each other!
He found you after the show, not even changed out of his costume, but he falls to one knee before you, a hand over his heart
"My dear co-star!" He takes your free hand in his, looking up at you with sparkling eyes, "My feelings cannot wait any longer! I must confess, I wish I told you this earlier, but..."
He stands, looking into your eyes with a pure look of affection. "I...I love you. I've been in love with you ever since we were kids! My affection for you runs so deeply, I-"
You cut him off by leaning to kiss his cheek, grinning at how he froze before his face went completely red. "Tsukasa, I love you too, ever since we were kids..." 
He blinks before beaming, scooping you up in his arms and spinning you around with a cheerful laugh. He puts you down, both of your faces flushed and grins wide
"Will you go out with me?" You roll your eyes with a snort, nodding, "Of course I will!" "Excellent!" He laughs once more before pulling you in for a hug, "It shall be the most extravagant date for my loveliest co-star!"
And that it was; He takes you to the block you both used to play with each other in, and it's nothing but pure bliss <3

As a lady forced into an arranged marriage with the greedy son of Duke Drakos who aims to use your power as a sorceress to gain the Emperor’s favor and is eventually is killed as a sacrifice for his schemes, it seems the only one who can truly assist you is the Duke of Suou, Tsukasa Suou.

The letter had been there for days, and even by this morning, it still hadn’t been touched. You didn’t want to open it; you could already tell what it was likely to say. Callie had delivered it to you then, and you should’ve sent out a reply days ago, but you weren’t going to respond. It had been sealed with wax, stamped with the House of Drakos’s official seal. You knew who had sent it just from that, without even an address on the front of the envelope. He didn’t even bother to address it to the person it was going for. He must’ve thought it was okay, because it was easily assumed to be you if that were the case.
He was discourteous this way, Erebus Drakos. He was your fiance, a union between houses and a “symbiotic” relationship of benefit. That was how he put it. The original owner of this body would’ve agreed, but it was hard to agree, as someone else. Even Callie disagreed, the person who was around you the most, your maid. It was necessary for a noblewoman to have a maid, regardless of wealth. It was weird at first, definitely. Life was very different in a fantasy world, though its inhabitants viewed it as reality rather than a fantasy: after all, it was their reality, though not yours. 
“But you should at least open it. I would offer to write a reply for you, but I am unable to copy your handwriting,” Callie had come to fix your hair for today. You hadn’t planned to go anywhere, nor were you planning to receive any guests. Still, it was nice. After all, there wasn’t much to do, and that was something. There were books, and luckily, there were a lot of them at the manor. There was a library, filled with books of philosophy, novels, history books- all written by nobles. They all had the same tone to them, but when you went to the basement, the one that was supposedly yours, there was a different kind of books. 
You hadn’t known, or maybe you’d forgotten, that the original owner of this body had been a sorceress. This was where she worked, with books lying around and notebooks written on. You hadn’t retained much of her memories, but it was a good thing that it had come easily to you. It seemed like you were able to retain information, though not necessarily experiences. It was easy to claim amnesia, especially after the incident this body had gone through before you had inhabited it. It was in surprisingly good shape; it recovered quickly. 
“Still, I believe you should open it. It’s better to know what is inside rather than not, in the case of it being different than expected,” she reasoned. Perhaps she was right, there wasn’t much harm in simply opening a letter you had received. You opened the letter, ripping off the seal less calmly then you’d intended, but that was alright. Nobody else was going to see this, anyways. You opened the letter, and its contents were short. It was without greeting, something one would write in a text message. “Prepare for the Foundation Ball this Thursday.” That was all. It was different than what you’d expected, and you owed Callie a thank you. You could almost hear her say, “It would’ve been better if you caused a scandal and went into hiding. I’d still serve you, just raise my pay by 20%.”
At first glance, it didn’t look desirable. Being the fiancee of the future Duke Drakos, you were expected to go, and many’s criticizing eyes would be on you. You’d have to wake up early, get your makeup done, wear a heavy dress, and wear heels for hours- and who knows what stunts he’d pull off there, in front of everyone to see. It wouldn’t be surprising to hear him announce a marriage you’d never agreed to, though the previous owner of this body did. She’d made some decisions that brought troublesome outcomes- not just troublesome, but dangerous as well. 
Callie wasn’t even done with your hair yet, and a knock had appeared from the door. Once confirming it was the butler who had knocked, he spoke, “My lady, Lord Erebus has arrived.” You hadn’t heard a word about his arrival. You were in no shape to see anyone outside of this estate, at least according to the standards of high society. It was common courtesy to send a notice beforehand, usually by a few days or so, before arriving, but that was never the case with him. He came as he pleased, as if this were his own house. He was high in status, but he wasn’t the highest- there were his father, Duke of Suou, and the Emperor and Empress. If only you could get one of them to take your side… 
You laughed at this thought, it would help greatly to solve all of the problems that loomed over you, being so closely tied to Erebus. It would be great, a little funny even, if you were able to gain Duke Suou’s support at the ball, as if. He’s never listened to any of the fools who approached him with deals that were less of a deal and more of asking for favors. They all thought of themselves, and you could tell too. Perhaps a little bit of pity came with that knowledge, though it would take a lot to convince anyone that he needed any of it.
“My lady, we must get ready to receive the Lord. Please come this way, we only have time to change your dress-” It wasn’t good to cut others’ off, especially mid-sentence, but if you didn’t stop there, you were afraid you wouldn’t be able to say what needed to be said before it was too late. You didn’t want to get ready in a hurry- he can wait, especially because he didn’t inform you beforehand. You could already hear him call you rude, but it was him who was rude in the first place. Many compared him to Duke Suou, who has, quite frankly, ahead of him in most aspects- you couldn’t blame them, since they were both prime candidates for the throne, as the current Duke Drakos is considering handing over his title to his son, former Duke Suou has already done so, and the only bloodline of the Emperor and the Empress is the princess. 
You told her that there was no need to rush, to make you look presentable. After all, it was rude not to dress appropriately to the heir of the one of two dukedoms of the entire empire. Perhaps this was a little petty, but he more than deserved it. You’d asked for a bath; after all, if you were going to look nice, minus well go all out- and plus, you were going to look nice for you, and not for him. It was a very valid excuse to make him wait, and you’d still be following etiquette, and you would’ve done nothing wrong. A triple win, if you would.
She quickly prepared the bath for you, a perfect place to think. The water was warm, and it was scented too. It was strange, that you didn’t know what year it was- Callie could give you the date any day, but you had no idea how close the events of the novel were. You were reincarnated into a novel known as TMM, or Trails of Misery and Misfortune. It was a book about a girl named Mairi, who had found herself a lover after the events of the first book in the series, but during the course of the novel, she lost all close to her heart that weren’t her lover- a series of tragedies. These misfortunes started with the noblewoman you were called by the inhabitants of this world, making you the first victim of the tragedies. 
The novel started at the Foundation Ball, yet it never specified which- either that, or you couldn’t remember such a small detail like that. You wish you’d known, though. It would’ve been nice if it wasn't this year, at least, so you could get used to living there. It was very different from living in the modern world, everything was so inconvenient. It was better that machines did what the maids did at times, and it was such a pity that they didn’t exist now. Being reincarnated was something reserved for main characters, but perhaps that made you the main character now- of no movie, though. 
Callie picked out a nice dress for you, one that would be suitable for meeting someone as high status as Erebus. It was heavy, and you couldn’t imagine wearing that for just meeting someone, who was unpleasant too, in any other circumstance. She did your makeup and hair again, and by the time she was finished, several hours had passed. You hadn’t heard of any ruckus downstairs where he was seated, and perhaps he had learned patience. The thought of that made you laugh, as it would anyone who truly knew his nature. It would be wonderful if it were to be put on display, for all to see. If he thought that he could really win the emperor’s favor with simply his confidence, then he was simply a naive fool, hands outreached for something that didn’t exist in the first place. 
The butler announced your arrival into the room as you entered, and Erebus sat himself up, bringing his shoes, which had stepped in places you didn’t want to know, from the couch’s armrest to the floor. 
“Took you long enough, I’ve waited way longer than I should’ve,” he scoffed, crossing his arms. As if he were high and mighty. He should at least act properly in someone else’s house. No one could fathom the only other candidate to the place of crown prince, Tsukasa Suou, doing that. There was no wonder he had such an inferiority complex, by the way he acted. 
Long enough? He was the one who walked in unannounced. If anyone should be waiting, it would be you. In fact, had you been busy today, you would’ve been able to send him home with a proper excuse. It would’ve been great if he could escort himself out, but he must’ve thought he was so good that he wouldn’t need to bother.
“Not answering? Listen here, you’re going to the founding ball with me, and we’re going to showcase my skills there for the emperor to see,” he looked straight at you. Oh gosh, this was the year, the year that the original owner of this body was supposed to perform an unbelievable show of “his” magic. You were his shadow, the one behind each and every one of the Crystalline Sorcerer, Erebus Drakos. This was the year you’d be wedded to him, and once you were, there were pretty much no legal ways out, especially when your opponent was a duke. 
As soon as that happened, you’d be trapped by him. You needed the support of someone more powerful than him. The only one available was Duke Suou, and he’d be at the Founding Ball; you had no choice but to go. You sighed, and it seemed that Erebus didn’t take it well.
“How rude.”
Rude? He was the rude one, for making you wait. Callie was there, and she’d be there to support you- and you told him, in the most matter-of-fact tone you could make. He couldn’t even argue with you, this fool. 
“Why won’t you follow me? Just do as I say. I’m the most powerful man in the empire-” But he wasn’t. There was the Duke of Suou.
“I know what you’re thinking. Damn that Suou! Damn him to hell! He didn’t even work his way to the dukedom, his father just gave it to him because he’s a softie. All of them. That whole family. The emperor too, they’re all softies. I’ll show them.”
He has nothing to show. All of his achievements were yours- well, more like the original owner’s- but they were never his in the first place. 
“Hah! Just try getting engaged to that guy instead if you’re going to be rude to me. He’s going to reject you anyway.” he stormed off, to return to his own home. Well, what did he know? As long as you showed your abilities as a sorceress, there was a good chance you could earn his protection- you hoped. Only one with a higher status could get one out of such a gruesome situation, and he was the only one left in this Empire.
