ShuYuka: Spy AU

'I swear this is the last time I let Junpei sike me into joining a mission,’ Yukari thought as she stepped outside the club and took a breath of air that wasn’t tainted with stale liquor and sweat.

Mitsuru had gotten the tip that two of R.U.I.N’s members were coming out of hiding tonight. With some hacking from Fuuka and a little digging from Akihiko, they found out that Shadows “Lovers” and “Hierophant” were tonight's targets.

Shadow “Lovers” is a popular dirty mistress of the red light district. Famous for owning many sex shops and love hotels across Japan, infamous for her super secret " love potion" , promised to win over the heart and body of the lover you’re after, that has led to multiple accounts of date rapes and kidnappings of both men and women inside her hotels. Shadow ”Hierophant” is a loyal customer of Lovers and one of her best salesmen. As one of the best, he’s won high favor with the madame and allegedly has his own personal room at the love hotel on Shirakawa Boulevard, the very first of her many. The info said he can usually be found there on Fridays and Saturdays nights from 9 pm to high morning. Apparently they've been hiding ever since the death of “Priestess” two months ago. But with last month’s joint death of Shadow “Emperor'' and Shadow “Empress” by the agents of S.E.E.S’s hands, they’ve come back out into the open.

There was a high chance of this being a trap, and they knew this. But it was also the perfect chance to off two more members of R.U.I.N and become even closer to stopping the evils of the Dark Hour.

Mitsuru assigned Yukari and Minato to take care of this mission. She says they work well together, but Yukari doesn’t really see it.

Minato is a quiet soul who she would’ve thought wouldn’t hurt a fly much less a person if she hadn’t been there to witness the death of Shadow “Magician" and helped him take down three other members of R.U.I.N these past few months. He’s easy on the eyes and can show rare moments of sweetness, but he’s so apathetic and passive. He only joined S.E.E.S because he felt like there was no need to say no. It frustrates her to no end how he just doesn’t care about his own safety at all.

Ever since Fuuka joined the team, he’s seemed to have changed though. He’s more careful about how he fights and commands in the field. He smiles a bit more now, just small little quirks of his lips. He also talks a bit more. While he still answers with his usual two or three word responses sometimes he’ll make complete sentences too. And when sitting with him whether it be in the lobby of headquarters or on the monorail heading to school, it doesn’t seem as dry or as awkward anymore.

It’s nice to see him opening up more, to loosen that cage he has built up all around him, but she still feels like there’s something more there that he’s still trying with great effort to hide.

“Yukari?” Makoto was walking towards her from the club’s entrance, a little sturdier than she thinks he should be able to after knocking back three shots of straight bourbon (all while two women whose clothes barely covered them were dancing a little too close to where he was sitting at the bar).

Her eyes couldn’t help but wander as she looked at him. Though sporting a simple match of a black jacket, a blue t-shirt and jeans, he still looked as handsome as he would have in a suit.

Then again, she’s never actually seen him wear a suit. How would he wear a suit? Would he wear it the professional way with the jacket, or would he just lay it over his arm? Would he even wear a jacket and go instead with a vest? Would he even be comfortable wearing a 3 piece suit?

“Yukari?” He was standing beside her now, his eyebrows quirked in a questioning manner. Yukari could feel heat rising to her face; she must’ve been staring at him for a while. She looked away to hide her flush for good measures, but she could still feel his stare.

“S-sorry. I just needed some air.”

"You don't like clubs?"

"It's not that." The visage of those half naked girls dancing close to him abruptly came full frontal again.

He hummed and turned around, his back against the grimy wall and his feet crossed at the ankle out in front of him, accepting her vague answer and leaving it up in the air as he looked out in the semi-busy streets of Shirakawa's red light district.

With the attention off of her, Yukari felt it was safe to show her face again, copying him and looking out at the busy street and people walking by. It was a small bout of quiet but sort of awkward silence before she peeked another glance at his profile and any sort of embarrassment she felt earlier was a backwards memory

Leaning against the bricked wall of the bustling club, the special ops leader's face was as passive and blank as usual, but bathed in the bright lights and colors of the numerous neon street signs, passive and blank transformed into something else, something… sad. It's like the lights made cracks in his ever present facade.

Or maybe the lights revealed cracks that were already there.

"You two work well together."

"Yuki-kun?"

His steely gray eyes that shined pale blue in the light were once again on her and why did she feel so nervous all of a sudden? "Hm?"

"It's just that," Yukari started, her arms folded behind her and her hands clasped, clenching and unclenching in a nervous twitch. "You haven't been acquainted with the Dark Hour for that long and your first interaction with the Shadows was when you fought Magician on the headquarter's roof and that landed you in the hospital for a week. Then Ikutsuki asks you to join and you said yes so abruptly that-"

“You’re wondering why I joined S.E.E.S.”

“...Yes.”

He stared at her for a small moment more before with a sigh his gaze was drawn back out into the streets of Shirakawa. His eyes grew dull in that way they did when he was deep in thought for a few seconds before he answered her.

“At first I took Ikutsuki’s offer to join the team because I felt there was no reason for me to say no,” Minato said, stuffing his hands in his pants’ pockets. She realizes it's a stance he usually takes to appear aloof to everyone around him, but knowing him for these few months and fighting alongside him so now knows that Makoto is more aware than anyone gives him credit for.

“Have your feelings changed since then?”

“I think-”

A static buzzing eased through their com-set hidden in their ears before Fuuka’s voice came through.

‘Hierophant just entered the hotel. Mitsuru and Akihiko are safely inside. She says it’s time to go in.’

Makoto nodded. “On our way." He rocked forward once on his feet to propel him forward off the wall and offered her his arm from the hand that was still stuffed in his pocket. “Ready?”

Yukari looped her arm around his, “As ready as I’ll ever be.”

With a random room on the second floor selected and the key safely in his hands, Yukari couldn’t help it if she gripped Makoto’s arm a little tighter as she started pulling him towards the elevator.

Yukari didn’t let go until they were both safely in the elevator. She let out a sigh when she saw Makoto staring at her slightly wide-eyed from her periphery. “What?”

“Nothing.” He looked away then, suddenly finding the elevator’s wall very interesting.

Yukari huffed. “I can’t wait for this mission to be over with. This hotel gives me the creeps.”

“Is it because that an infamous, psychopathic, murdering gangster owns this hotel, or it is because this a hotel where most people come to-”

“Yeah, that.”

The elevator opened with a ding to a long dimly lit hallway with rooms on both sides, some with “do not disturb” signs hanging on the door handles. Makoto started walking down the hall and Yukari stayed close behind him. He stopped three doors down to the left.

“This is the room.” He opened the door.

They couldn’t do anything but stand in the doorway in awe.

The door opened to the living room of the spacious room. The ceiling was painted with the stars and the shining moon and the walls were painted like a beautiful night sky and calm, rippling waters and a large out-of-place, wide-screened television. A white gazebos with string light wrapped around the cloth and legs. Underneath the gazebo were two white beach chairs with a plush pillow on both and a lantern with a fire already lit on top of a circular side table in between them.

“Woah. It really looks like a beach.” Makoto took the liberty of testing out one of the beach chairs.

“Like a soft lit night under the stars,” he looked at her while he said that, his eyes glinting in the lantern’s light.

“Wh-what are you saying!” She swears he just says these things to get a reaction out of her. “Come on! The sooner we start, the faster we can get out of here.” Even if the room was amazing, it still didn’t change the actions of what happens in here.

“You don’t want to check out the bedroom before we go?” A small smirk was breaking through the deadpan now.

"Wha-what! S hut up!”

“Huh? But I didn’t say anything.” Fuuka’s voice came from both of their com-sets.

“Sorry Fuuka, I didn’t mean you,” Yukari apologized.

“Can you see which floor Hierophant is on, Fuuka?” Makoto asked.

“Hold on a sec,” Fuuka was quiet for a few seconds before she came back. “Okay, got it! He’s on the floor above you. You should be able to take the elevator down.”

“Thanks Fuuka. We’re heading there now.” Makoto stood up from the beach chair and Yukari was already standing by the door. Makoto opened and walked out with Yukari in step behind him.

The elevator dinged open to a beige and maroon hall, the floor above. They stepped off of the elevator with caution.

“He’s in the last room to the left.” Fuuka said.

“Something’s wrong. It’s too quiet,” Yukari said.

“It’s a hotel. Isn’t it supposed to be quiet?”

“Yes, but not this quiet, Listen” Yukari shook his head. Love hotels are places of rest and privacy so of course it would be quiet, but she was right. Usually in a regular hotel there would be noise of families talking or footsteps moving around in the rooms. Even in love hotels there should be some noise or signs of activity within the rooms. Here, there weren’t even ‘do not disturb’ signs on the doors.

Makoto pulled out his gun from his inner coat pocket. “Stay close.”

At the end of the hall was a single door that -just as Fuuka said- was on the left side of the hall. The two S.E.E.S members swarmed the door on both sides, guns drawn and eyes and ears trained on the door.

“Be careful guys. It seems like there are other people in the room with him.”

That meant they were potentially walking into a trap, and whoever was on the other side of this door could be even more dangerous than they at first thought. Makoto tried the door handle. It was unlocked. Makoto looked at Yukari and Yukari looked at Makoto. They nodded at each other before Makoto opened the door.

Inside the room were women -at least 6- in different arrays of undress surrounding a large, bald man in a chair. One in his lap, one standing on his left beside the chair rubbing his arm, two kneeling on the ground beside his legs with their hands on his thighs, another on the other side of the chair with her hand on his shoulder, and one standing behind the chair rubbing his bald head. Yukari's face twisted in disgust.

The spud king sitting on his hoax-of-a throne while he reveled in women of the night and money he made off of the lives of others. This was the Hierophant she’s heard about.

The girls screamed when they saw the two teenagers standing in the room with guns trained on them. Some lunged for articles of their clothes to cover themselves up while others ducked behind the chair. Hierophant jumped back in his chair, his pudgy face streaked with the mixed emotions of shock and fear at the two guns pointed at him.

“What the hell are you kids doing here!”

“Time for you girls to leave.” Makoto motioned a swaying motion with his gun like a marshaller would an airplane, ushering the girls to leave as soon as possible. The girls were running over each other to get out of the door with the fear of a gun firing at them.

“Your time is up, Hierophant.” God, could she sound any more cliché.

“W-what the hell are you talking about, you little brat?” The bald man staggered out of his chair, clutching his chest looking close to having a panic attack with his erratic behavior. “What do you mean “my time is up”? It’s you kids whose time is up!” He reached for his gun in his holster. When his hand swiped at nothing, he understood.

“Leave your gun tonight, Hiero. Enjoy yourself. You deserve it…”

'That bitch’ was Hierophant's last thought.

A gunshot rang out in the hotel room. Only two stood remaining.

Makoto raised his hand to his com-set in his ear and tapped two times. “Hierophant is dead.”

“Good job guys. You succeeded once again. I’ll be waiting outside for you.”

Yukari hurried and holstered her gun while Makoto walked over to the dead body of the Shadow of R.U.I.N Hierophant. He gave the body a small nudge with his foot just to make sure he was really dead.

“I don’t think he’s going to be moving anytime soon.” Especially with the bullet sized hole in the middle of his forehead.

“Just making sure.” One more subtle kick, he turned his back on the body and started for the door. “Let’s go.”

When they got to the door Makoto twisted the handle. It didn’t budge. He jiggled the handle harder. It still didn’t budge.

“What’s wrong?”

“The door won’t open.”

“What!”

A click and then a pink gas started seeping into the room.

“Shit!”

Yukari grabbed Makoto’s hand and he clasped it back just as tightly before everything turned black.

Makoto’s head was pounding when he woke up. His surroundings were unfamiliar. His head felt foggy and he was having trouble remembering why he was here, but he remembers that it was something important. He could faintly hear the showering running.

Embrace your desires…

A sudden pain racked Makoto’s head, making him reach up a hand to lay against it.

Enjoy the moment… That which cannot be felt is merely a dream… The present is all we have…

He felt the voice to be seductive and carefree, so much so that he could feel no other need but to listen to it. But wasn’t he...

The future is but a fantasy, memory a fabrication… Let your desire free you from your shackles…

The droning of the shower in the background stopped. There were wet smacks on the floor of the shower. A body started to become more visible through the sheer, see-through material.

Yukari emerged from the bathroom with only a white towel wrapped around her, the only thing keeping it up being her hand. Her gait was slow as she walked towards him. He could feel himself widen the gap between his legs as she stood in front of him. Using his shoulders for balance, she pulled herself onto his lap. Now they were both on the same level. They stared into each other’s eyes for moments waiting for the other to make the first move.

Leaning down, Makoto saw close up the light rosiness of her cheek and the chocolate brown of her eyes. He raised his hand to her rosy cheek before he closed the distance between them and slid his lips over her.

Pleasure is what you truly want… You stand before the doorway to bliss… You cannot deny your instincts… Embrace your desire…

The kiss was a motion of push and pull. Makoto could vaguely feel himself falling back onto the bed and Yukari falling on top of him as her tongue swiped across his bottom lip. His hand drifted down to her side to where her supple thighs met her lean torso. A soft moan slipped out of her mouth and into his.

There was a big explosion, creating a huge hole in the wall beside them. The force from the blast blew the two entangled teammates behind the bed. They both fell with Makoto holding Yukari close to his chest to protect her from most of the impact. The pain of the ground meeting their sides completely snapped them out of their daze. Yukari blinked almost doe-eyed at his chest then up at him, the fog starting to clear from her eyes.

“W-what? Yuki-kun?” It was the next second that she realized her state of undress.

Before he could completely get his bearings a low shriek nearly deafened him and there was an angry, searing pain on his left cheek. There was a scrambling of footsteps and a loud swish of curtains as his senses came back.

“Yuki! Are you all right?” Red entered his line of sight. Mitsuru was kneeling in front of him, concern clear and a hand reached out to help him up. Her outfit was a sparkly black mesh of a loose bodysuit and a white cover up jacket. As he thought about it, the outfit made sense. Her and Akihiko were also posing as a young couple in love, looking for a few hours of privacy to express their love for each other while in actuality they were supposed to be stationed in another room of the hotel and remain on call in case there was a need for backup.

“I’m fine.” He clasped her hand and she pulled him to his feet. Akihiko was standing on the other side of the room in a boxing stance - fist up, feet apart- and wearing a tux himself. Lovers was a few feet in front of him struggling to her feet, holding her side where a steady build-up of blood started pooling past her hand and down her leg.

“D-damn you!” The madame looked worse for wear. Her flowing maxi was stained with blood and the slit in the dress was ripped to her waist(she was using her hand to keep it from showing off her ‘assets’). There was a dark bruise blooming on her otherwise made up face. Her cherry pop bob was pristine though.

“Shadow Lovers of R.U.I.N! This is your time to die!” Akihiko whipped out his gun, Mitsuru right behind him with both of their guns trained on the gangster in red.

“Y-you kids are so s-tupid.” S. Lovers laughed, slowly standing up to her full height but still slightly slouched over in pain. “You brats have no idea what you’re actually doing.” Her eyes turned on Makoto.

“And you, you claim to be the leader, but you have so much heavy shit clouding over your heart that it’s affecting your mind. I was doing you and that brunette a favor. Getting laid by that pretty little harlot might have done you some goo-”

Lovers fell back against the wall, her hand letting go of her ripped dress to clutch her neck where the bullet shot straight through. Her last words were a gargled mess before she slumped, her hands went limp and the light drained from her eyes. They turned to see Yukari, her clothes slightly soggy and her gun up and still trained at the level where Lovers' neck was. Makoto was shocked. Working with her for the past 3 months, this is the best shot he’s seen her make.

“Takeba?” Mitsuru started to step towards her but hesitated before coming any closer to the brunette. He could feel a tension between the two.

“I’m fine Kirijo-san." Yukari turned her head away from the heiress. She ducked her head when her eyes met Makoto’s, but not before he saw her cheek flush a soft pink. “L-let’s just take care of Shadows Lovers and Hierophant and get out of here already.”

Mitsuru stepped away to make a call leaving the rest of them just standing around, though Yukari would glance up at Makoto every now and then when she thought he wasn’t looking. He noticed.

Mitsuru had called the Kirijo’s Group cleaning crew and they arrived within an hour. The two rooms were clean and the bodies were gone within minutes as if no one had even been there without the guest or even bystanders on the street noticing anything.

Akihiko, Makoto, Fuuka and Yukari stood on the sidelines in one of the alleys while Mitsuru watched over the last of the cleanup.

“The cleanup crew has finished. In the morning it’ll be like none of this ever happened. Another good job team.”

“Let’s head back to the dorm.”

“Are you coming, Senpai?” Fuuka asked.

“I have to stay here to help oversee the structural damages.”

“I’ll stay with you until they finish,” Akihiko said.

“Thank you, Akihiko.”

Mitsuru and Akihiko walked back towards the hotel while their koheis started walking back towards the dorm. Makoto noticed Yukari started to lag behind, a thoughtful yet lost expression on her face.

“Yuki-kun?”

“Go on ahead, Yamagishi. We’ll meet you there.”

Fuuka nodded before continuing ahead.

“Why did you send her ahead?”

“You look like you wanted to say something/had something on your mind.”

“Well,” she hesitated and bit the corner of her lip before finishing the sentence. “You never finished your explanation from earlier.”

“Ah.” After a second of silence he said: "Ask me that question again."

"Why did you join S.E.E.S?"

"No, the other one."

"Have your feelings changed since then?"

"From the moment when Ikutsuki asked me to join S.E.E.S to now, I think they have."

"You think?"

“Before I joined S.E.E.S I didn’t have any reason to care about what happened to me or anybody else. Doing whatever somebody told me to without any emotions or ties helped me cope. I felt that it was better that I stayed alone. But then I had to come here and I discovered the power of Persona and Ikutsuki-san asked me to join.”

“And that’s when it changed?”

“In between all the training, the sushi runs, and the full moon operations, you all became like family to me.”

“All of us?”

“Well, except for one.” He looked down at her then, a meaningful twinkle in his eyes that entranced hers to not look away and understand the deeper meaning of his words. A meaning she’s not sure she’s ready to accept yet.

“Is my answer okay?”

‘Y-yeah.” She’s never blushed so many times in one day before. She’ll never understand how he could say stuff like that but come across so aloof all the time. “S-should we go back to the dorm?”

Makoto nodded. “Let’s go.”

Pspspspsp some Riku and Ann being bros headcanons???

OH FUCK YES THANKS BRO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG BUT Riku Ann friendship my beloved… This got super long so under a read more it goes 💀

OK so these two are literally chaos incarnate.

They have about two braincells between them. And they never use them.

Honestly apart? They're very intelligent (Riku has his mom's brains and Ann is intelligent in her own right) but whenever they're together it just cancels out.

Their number one favorite activity to do together? Annoy Makoto. At first it was unintentional because they just got up to their normal bullshit but it pissed Makoto off so much and they found it funny and now they do it deliberately.

Don't get me wrong they love Makoto and Ann really has no beef with her but Riku gets very annoyed at how "know it all" she is (he's exaggerating but she does it a lot you know? At least that's how I felt). But really it's harmless and they do back off it starts to upset her.

They also love to go shopping together! Ann will drag Riku to all the best boutiques in Tokyo and he just comes along for the fun of it. He also let's Ann pick out his outfits and buys her some clothes in return (he insists he's too lazy to pick out his own clothes but it's actually because he can see how happy Ann gets doing it and that makes him happy :] - not that he'd admit it)

They also sing a lot. They'll just randomly burst out into song in mementos and the only reason as to why no one has killed them yet is because they're both surprisingly good singers.

This is also accompanied by a lot of dancing. Riku had dance lessons as a kid and is actually super passionate about it and Ann loves watching him dance and rocking with him ofc. Makoto just wishes they wouldn't do it in the middle of a mini boss fight 😞

They constantly make stupid bets/dares with each other. Like Ann will be like "I bet that shadow is weak to magna" and Riku is like "buy me crepes and I'll find out" and before Ann can say deal Riku has already launched himself at it (and most likely gotten his ass yeeted across the field)

On a more serious note they're really supportive with one another when it comes to their trauma. Ann was the first person Riku properly opened up to about Hatanaka. She is very sympathetic with him and really helps him through his rough patches. In turn Riku is super supportive about Ann's own trauma and her feelings of guilt around what happened to Shiho

If either of them is having a bad day the other will show up on their doorstep with the cheesiest movies, 10000% packets of sweets and blankets just in case. They don't even talk sometimes, they just sit together in comfortable silence.

Riku will always come to Ann's modeling shoots if he can. He intimidates anyone who makes Ann (or any of the other models) feel uncomfortable and has the time of his life bullying Mika <3 (also because I hc Yukari as having her own modeling agency - don't ask I don't remember where that came from - he also gets to see his mom occasionally)

Ann has also offered to come to any fancy business party and bully old rich men for Riku if he needs it. She tends to come to any meetings he has and waits outside for him to get food after if he doesn't have plans (if he does Mitsuru will ask Ann if she wants to come to and ofc she'd agree).

The only time they ever butt heads (and even then it lasts like 10 seconds before it's all forgotten) is whenever Ann calls Yukari and Mitsuru milfs. Riku gets very annoyed and Ann thinks it's hilarious. Yukari thinks it's funny too and just laughs it off and Mitsuru has no idea what milf means. No one's gonna tell her either that it's not Mother I'd Like to be Friends with 💀💀💀💀

All in all they are very close and great buddies and I live for their dynamic. Also their dynamic with Yusuke. That's my phantom thief brot3 😌

#persona 5 au #ann takamaki #riku kirijo #au tag #oc tag #asks #kalidontskrrt #this took me forever but im sad so im doing it now #anyway i fucking love their friendship so much #my favorite dynamic i created in this au #riku gets annoyed at makoto he's like bitch (affectionate)#yes that is based off my own feelings on her but i do think they would clash #they love each other really #ann just loves her big stupid sugar brother #that's what she calls him #he's her manwhore (affectionate) and she's his motherfucker (affectionate)#this is so long so have fun lol #i hope the readmore works #also the format is weird because i copied this in from a google doc oof #Yusuke ann and riku brotp is the second best brotp #yusuke riku hifumi is number 1 because they've known each other for longer #oh i completely forgot to mention their shared crush on sae #and how they get lost in sae's palace grooving to the whims of fate definitely not trying to get shadow sae's number

My Ai Yazawa Reccomendation List

This is a list that I’ve actually been thinking about for a while now (like... years lmao). Basically just a few of my personal recommendations of series (only manga and webtoons this time around but I have a couple tv shows and anime that I also might rec in a second list if people like this one...) that people like me that are missing Yazawa’s work might enjoy. The bulk of this list is for NANA, because that is her unfinished work, but I’ve got quite a few recs for her other series.

I don’t love all the series on this list (or even like tbh), but I can see where someone who likes a certain aspect of Yazawa’s work might enjoy the series more than me. I didn’t include trigger warnings because it’s been a number of years since I read some of these series (and some I never finished) but feel free to ask me and I’ll do my best.

Obligatory recommendation that if you enjoy any of Yazawa’s series, you should give any of her series a try. I think all of the series that I’ve read by her are masterpieces in their own right and if you’re missing NANA (or any of her other works) you should definitely read the rest of her work because many of my own favorite aspects of Yazawa’s works are present in all of her work - like female friendship and continuous story lines (rather than episodic).

Feel free to add on with your owns recs... And tell me if you read any of these series!

If you like the past/future mechanic of NANA with young adult characters and enjoy unveiling the mystery in Kagen no Tsuki then give Piece by Ashihara Hinako a try. The MC and her best friend have a good passing resemblance to Nana and Hachi, if Hachi were chubby but they have more than appearance in common with NANA’s leading ladies... To say any more would be spoilers! This series also marries some of the messy melodrama of RL with realism like NANA.

Summary: One day, Mizuho, a university student, receives news that her classmate in high school, Origuchi Haruka, passed away. Mizuho doesn't remember being best friends with Origuchi, but apparently, Origuchi told her mother that Mizuho was her best friend. And now, her mother wants Mizuho to help her find the boy Origuchi dated during high school. Mizuho told Origuchi's mother that Origuchi was a very plain girl, and she was never seen with a guy, but her mother told Mizuho that Origuchi got pregnant and had an abortion when she was in high school. Mizuho was shocked, but she still starts asking her other classmates in high school and following the traces Origuchi left behind.

Status: Complete

If you liked Paradise Kiss for the portrayal of a bunch of odd-balls coming together to do something creative together and inspiring Yukari with their passion OR for Yukari’s struggle with her mother academic expectations then you might enjoy the webtoon Spirit Fingers by Han Kyoung Chal!

Summary: What do you do if you're going on 18, totally awkward and lacking in self- confidence? You could just sit in your room all day and all night and study and wonder why you never get asked out…OR, if you’re Amy Song you could join up with the Spirit Fingers – the strangest, hippest, coolest (yet most welcoming) art club ever. But as Amy is about to learn, discovering your TRUE colors is about more than just painting.

Status: Complete, still being translated. Best part is you can start reading the series completely LEGALLY here. They changed the character’s first names to more western ones and it’s a bit behind the unofficial translations but I still recommend reading it legally.

If you liked NANA because you liked how the Nanas had the same name and had all these other similarities, meeting under fateful circumstances but also wish they’d date then give Lonely Wolf, Lonely Sheep a try by Fuka Mizutani!

Summary: Two women with the same name happens to meet each other when they're at the same hospital for the same injury. They want to become closer, but both must overcome their insecurities and self-loathing first.

Status: Complete

If you like the past/future telling aspect of NANA with a large, fully-fleshed cast of characters who are all living their life check out Cheese in the Trap by Soonkki. Sul is a very strong, no- nonsense MC but with plenty of charm with great friends. Like NANA it’s easy to hate some of the more flawed characters but at the end of the day even the antagonists have complex reasons for being the way they are and aren’t just living to be an opposing force.

Summary: Seol Hong is a hard-working student, who has returned to college after a long break. Jung Yu is a senior at the college known as Mr. Perfect. Seol feels like her life took a turn for the worse since she got involved with Jung. Is Jung intentionally turning Seol's life?

Status: Ongoing... I think? You can read the webtoon legally [here] and the translations are being posted weekly still at least.

Do you like younger looking characters like Mikako and Miwako? Do you like playboys like George as a male lead but wish he were a bit more earnest? Did you like how Akira and Midori took their time getting to know and understand each other by the end of the series? Do you just like how Yazawa emphasizes friendship in her work? Here’s Lovely Everywhere by Ke Li for you.

Summary: Tong Danwei is a high school freshman with romantic dreams about the boy she is fated to meet. While on the way home from picking up groceries, she runs into a pretty boy, and that’s where our story begins. Will she find love in high school? And more importantly, will any boy be able to overlook the fact that although she is in high school, she still looks like an elementary student?? Follow along on Tong Danwei’s adventure of love and high school angst, with plenty of comedy thrown in to the mix.

Status: Complete

If you like the supernatural mystery aspect of Kagen no Tsuki starring younger characters with mysteriously dead-but-not-dead characters, then Route 225 might by a good series to try. It’s by Shimura Takako & Fujino Chiya (Original Story). You might know Shimura Takako from her other series like Wandering Son and Sweet Blue Flower, so you know she is great portraying emotional realism like Yazawa.

Summary: 14-year-old Eriko finds herself left in charge of her younger brother Daigo when their parents suddenly disappear one warm summer evening. Trapped in a world that is very much like their own save for the lack of their parents, Eriko and Daigo find themselves desperate for the return of the worrywart mother and apathetic father they never thought they'd miss so badly...

If you liked NANA because you liked reading about a pair of women who are very different and yet are very good friends to the point where their friendship is more important to them than romantic relationships (even if they struggle to properly communicate this to each other) then try the short series Tomodachi no Hanashi by Kawahara Kazune (Story) and Yamakawa Aiji (Art).

Summary: Eiko is something like a plain Jane and a doormat, while her best friend Moe is a head-turning beauty. Despite their differences, their friendship is as strong as ever. Guys are always asking Moe out, but her answer is inevitable, "only if you promise to put Eiko before me."

Status: Complete

Did you like how Hachi from NANA kept losing her jobs? And had no luck in love? Do you prefer to read about young adult characters? Even though we never talk about how funny Yazawa’s work is... was that something you really liked about her work? Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai by Nakahara Aya! Hachi and Shibata aren’t exactly alike but they are both fun to read and get into the mindset of in a similar way.

Summary: The unemployed Shibata Michiko is betting everything she has on her romance with a younger man—literally. In order to keep him happy, she deprives herself of the things she wants and buys him expensive clothing and accessories. Since she's flat out broke, she needs to find a job before she starves to death and loses her young love interest. However, Michiko discovers that the boy was never interested in her romantically. Depressed at being dumped and after a series of unsuccessful interviews, she bumps into Kurosawa—an intimidating former boss she used to dislike.

Status: Complete, with a spin-off

If you’re interested in exploring Mikako’s feelings from Gokingo Monogatari when she dropped out of school then Cat Street might interest you. Both MCs find themselves a group of friends and attend alternative high schools - though while Mikako’s is an art’s school, in Cat Street is more of a free school that seems to specialize in drop-outs and the like.

Summary: The story centers around Keito Aoyama, a former famous child actress. Due to a childhood incident, she retired from her career early and withdrew from normal society. Now 16, she passes her days in boredom and without purpose. But one day she runs into a stranger who takes her to El Liston--a free school for high school students like herself, who don't have a place where they belong. Though hesitant at first, Keito decides to enter El Liston and subsequently, she begins a new stage in her life. With the help of her only remaining childhood friend, Taiyou, and her new classmates Rei, Momiji, and Kouichi, Keito slowly finds the courage to open up to others and to accept their support. Will Keito return to acting? Will she find true friends? Love?

Status: Complete

If you want a series like NANA that is about adult women who are good friends and roommates as they balance their life with their career, love-lives, and friendship with each other try Tokyo Alice by Toriko Chiya. Alternatively, if you were wondering what Hachi might look like if you reversed her obsession with love with her love of shopping... you’ve got Tokyo Alice’s MC (lol)

Summary: Fu Arisugawa is a little worried there might be something wrong with her. She loves shopping above all else, using her money to buy designer and brand-name items to the exclusion of all else. But while her friends also enjoy shopping, they're all also on the hunt for love in one way or another – something that Fu finds she just isn't all that interested in. When her boss starts showing interest in her, will Fu figure it out? Or is she going to keep going in her shopping wonderland?

Status: Complete, also has a recent drama that you can watch with Prime TV!

If what interested you most about NANA was it’s portrayal of the music industry of a new band and wanted more of that then try Beck by Sakuishi Harold. Beck, like NANA, has an anime that while it doesn’t cover the entire series is worth watching or even having the soundtrack on as you read the series.

Summary: Fourteen-year-old Yukio "Koyuki" Tanaka is a dispirited young boy with no goals in life. However, this all changes when Koyuki saves a strange-looking dog named Beck from being harassed by a group of local kids. The dog's owner, 16-year-old Ryuusuke "Ray" Minami, is an emerging guitarist and the former member of a popular rock band. After Koyuki meets Ray again in a diner, the older boy leads him to his former band's meeting place and dazzles Koyuki with his amazing guitar skills. Slowly becoming interested in the glamour of western rock culture, Koyuki decides to start playing the guitar while helping Ray achieve his dream of leading the ultimate rock band. Together with Ray's younger sister Maho and a few other members, the two boys launch their career into the world of rock by forming a band called BECK. Beck follows the group's struggles and successes as they spread their fame across Japan.

Status: Complete

If you like how Yazawa writes her female “rival” characters as sympathetic and likable (even if not everything they do is likable) then you might enjoy Koda Momoko’s Heroine Shikkaku. It’s about a girl who is shocked when she discovers she’s more like the bitchy villainess who bullies the sweet and pure heroine in shojo manga.

Summary: This could be any girl. Imagine being a heroine of a love story. Hatori also believed that one day she would get married to her childhood friend, Rita. But that's not how the world works! This is a hilarious comedy that honestly paints a painful unrequited love story of this young girl!

Status: Complete

If you want a short read like NANA, with two very different girls with the same name who tie their futures together then read the one-shot Watashi to Watashi by Sahara Mizu. Note that I’m only suggesting you read this specific one-shot, not any of the other one-shots contained in the collection this one is in... Actually I very much insist you don’t read the first one. I highly recommend reading others’ of Sahara Mizu’s work if you enjoy this one because even if none of them are directly similar to any of Yazawa’s... the emotional complexity is.

Summary: Two girls with the same name; one beautiful and athletic, the other awkward and shunned. But who’s the lucky one?

Status: Complete

If you like a series having 2 characters named Nana in NANA (even if their relationship with each other is... entirely different) and enjoy the format of Nana and Hachi continuing to address each other in inner monologues in the future where they haven’t seen each other for years or you just like messy, realistic relationships try We Were There by Obata Yuuki.

Summary: The start of high school life. To the girls, that also meant the start of their love lives. For brand new first year student, Takahashi Nanami (Nana for short), it was no different... She happens to end up in the same class as the incredibly popular Yano Motoharu, who rumors say that two thirds of all the girls are guaranteed to fall in love with. But will that hold true for Nana, who says that if she had to choose between like or dislike, she'd say she dislikes him!?

Status: Complete

What was your favorite thing about Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai? Was it Akira struggling with his feelings for someone that married into his family? Was it Midori and Mamirin’s friendship? Try Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare by Sakisaka Io. (Strobe Edge also by Sakisaka might also work for you).

Summary: The story centers around Yuna and Akari who have two very different views of love: Yuna is someone who sees love as a dream and Akari is someone who is very realistic about her romance choices. Meanwhile, there are two boys, Kazuomi and Rio, who also have different views of love: Kazuomi's an airhead and doesn't understand the concept of love, while Rio grabs the opportunity when confessed to as long as the girl looks cute.

Status: Complete, being translated

If you just like Yazawa’s work and want to read works by a close friend of hers... Yoshizumi Wataru! You might know her best from Marmalade Boy, but she also worked on quite a few josei works about young adults... Like Cappuccino (if you like moving on from a first serious relationship as we saw with Hachi and Shouji), but also Cherish and Spicy Pink.

That’s all I got for now... But again... Let me know if you read any of these! Whether or not at my suggestion lol. And add on too! I’ve read or at least tried all of these myself so now I’m the one in need of recs lol.

🌻 + yukari for 4 character headcanons - cantfoolajoker

Random thing: I’m cooking Thanksgiving for tomorrow, and I’m already over it~ I work retail, so this time of year is bullshit, especially since we’re severely understaffed for friday. Lovely. ...but at least mom is letting me keep the mannequin work let me have in the dining room.

Family wants dinner? They get to meet my cute, newspaper-maiche, mannequin girlfriend. :D :D :D

...wheee, now for what you wanted instead of my whining~ Yukari head canons!

Headcanon A: Yukari has a hard time just quite fitting her wardrobe in the her dorm room. It doesn’t help she like to shop. Never open her closet. It’s not safe without knowing which way to dodge shoe boxes and such.

Headcanon B: While I’m on about Yukari being a clothing horse, what to do mean projecting fashion is important I think she feels guilty when she gets used to Aigis, and she doesn’t have anything but school uniforms. Yukari decides to part with some of her wardrobe to teach Aigis ~fashion~. ...however, she regrets it when Aigis has a tendency to get into trouble, and it always ends in destroyed dresses. It makes Yukari want to cry.

Headcanon C: That moment in the Answer when everyone is against Yukari about saving Minato, she kind of expected it? Even when Mitsuru stands by her because she promised to stand by her in anything, she doesn’t quite understand it in that moment. These people were/are her closest allies, but not until after all was said and done at the end of the Answer, they hadn’t really spoken about what had happened. Yukari’s super straightforward for the most part, so she really began to believe that she was the only one that cared about anything, that whole year. Mitsuru proves her wrong, and slowly but surely, Yukari believes in her team again.

Headcanon D: Yukari and Mitsuru becomes the biggest wlw power couple in Japan. After all that Shido nonsense in Tokyo, it’s agreed that Mitsuru should most definitely run for Prime Minister, and she wins by a landslide after the Shadow Operatives oust Shido’s co-conspirators. Yukari’s the first lady, and she’s already a media darling because of being Pink Argus, so Japan loves them both lots.

janey! i was wondering, if the p5 and p3 casts were to meet up, who do u think futaba would enjoy spending time around? like what sort of bonds would she form with which different members of Sees?

Oohhhh

She wouldn’t get along with Akihiko at all, bc he’s too loud and between his tough-guy personality, his technology illiteracy, and the fact that he literally can’t talk to girls it would definitely end in disaster

She’d bond with Junpei over video games. They play a competitive game together and Junpei is shocked when she kicks his ass, then she teaches him how to maximize his character and play well

I headcanon that she’s kind of nervous around dogs but Koromaru is so friendly she’d come to really love him and spend some time at the SEES dorm lobby just playing video games with Koromaru and Morgana hanging around the couch by her

If Shinji is around in this timeline they’d get along incredibly well. Futaba infodumps abt her special interests to him while he cooks and he just quietly listens aside from the occasional “mmhmm” to show he’s listening, and then they eat together and he makes sure she’s god bc he thinks she’s too thin and doesn’t eat enough (he’s right)

She keeps stealing tech from Mitsuru which annoyed her at first but she came to find it endearing, and got to the stage where when she gets back from her work with the Kirijo Group she always brings back some new piece of tech for Futaba to play around with. They don’t talk much but Mitsuru probably takes an interest in her as a test subject or even challenges her to hack into the Kirijo Group’s servers to see how secure they are. When they fail to stop her Futaba goes “oh don’t feel bad, they’re still pretty solid. No common thief is gonna be able to pull of what the original Medjid is capable of.”

Yukari starts taking her out places to try and socialize her, goes clothes shopping with her, brings her to her favorite coffee shop, takes her music shopping and goes and sees movies with her, and encourages her bc she really respects Futaba’s unique fashion sense and personality and thinks she’s really cute and charming. As an elder trans wlw she also gives her dating advice dhjddb

Minato and Futaba barely speak to one another out loud but they get along extremely well, as two autistic and severely depressed kids who have struggled with suicidal thoughts. They’ll go outside at night and just sit in the park on their phones together, not saying anything but appreciating each other’s company. When Futaba gets paranoid thoughts or fears, Minato ensures he’ll protect her and helps calm her down, and then they go back to their quiet chill time

She also bonds with Ken over similar mother related traumas and situations, and they talk about tech stuff together since Ken has a growing interest in that sort of thing. They have a lot of quiet chats over a meal together and while they get along, they don’t really know how to act or talk to one another when they’re alone, but share a mutual respect and want to take care of each other however they can

She finds Aigis INCREDIBLY fascinating and spends a ton of time just asking her abt how she works, and just watching her behavior and being curious about it. She’s tempted to try and tinker with her systems and such but Minato reminds her that Aigis is an intelligent being and shouldn’t be messed with carelessly. Futaba knows this, she just gets excited over the ideas

She and Fuuka realize they’re incredibly similar and have very similar interests and are similarly shy but in very different ways! They spend some time warming up to each other which takes some time but once they get to know each other they get along very well! They’ll chill out in Fuuka’s room just listening to music and talking or playing games or texting each other or other such things, and both of them like to infodump to one another so they take turns doing that

#shjdbfjd thats a lot but it was fun to write #long post #rambles #a missing ache

Idol Precure Series: A Gratuitous Costume Parade

Because that is literally what this is. An excuse to dress everyone up in cute clothes.

Not complaining, though. The girls look fabulous~

Anyways, y’all aware they were grouped together because of what their civilian identities have in common, right?

Well, that’s how I see it so I typed this up so I can use it for reference later.

Initially, it was just a companion (?) piece to this StarPre prediction post (therefore, the StarPre girls haven’t been included yet so go check out that post until they are) but now I’ll come back to edit/update it again when more new stuff is released or I find better quality pictures.

I also have some ideas for possible new groups if they ever add or mix-and-switch the current ones but that’ll be on another post altogether to avoid confusing myself, ahaha~

Anata no kokoro o mitoshi-tai (Team “I see through your heart”)

Members: Yukishiro Honoka, Hanasaki Tsubomi, Tsukikage Yuri, Shirabe Ako, Yakushiji Saaya

At a glance, it seems like they put all the smart ones together but it’s really because these girls all wear glasses.

Yep, the meganekko group.

I mean, they are smart but the key point here is clearly the glasses. Which is a tad bit of a shame because I feel like that (moe aspect) takes away from recognizing them for their intelligence first.

On another note, interestingly enough, I believe there’s a play on words with their unit name. If you say it out loud without knowing the context, it really sounds like “I want to look into your heart”. Can someone confirm this? My amateur Japanese isn’t enough to explain it eloquently.

Others who can fit into this group: Hishikawa Rikka

Bunbu Ranbu (”Martial Dance”)

Members: Myoudouin Itsuki, Aoki Reika, Yotsuba Alice, Hikawa Iona

Martial arts practitioners.

Also, I’m pretty sure Reika knows some kendo along with kyūdō since we’ve seen her wielding a giant ice sword as Cure Beauty multiple times throughout the franchise. We just didn’t see her do it in civilian form. Hmm. :/

Others who can fit into this group: ...

Eternal Moment

Members: Higashi Setsuna (Eas), Akagi Towa (Twilight)

Former villainesses who turned good and became a main heroine.

I’m so glad they didn’t forget about their evil alter-egos cuz Eas and Twilight (or perhaps just Twilight) can be considered separate characters in their own rights so it’s nice to see them show up in advertisement again every once in a while.

Hmmm, their name though... it looks like this unit might only be intended for two people (”Eternal” for Towa and “Moment” for “Setsuna”).

That is, unless they add onto it like HNMH (see below) if they plan to include more girls into this category. If so, then...

Others who can fit into this group: Kurokawa Ellen, Lulu Amour

Mystic Diva

Members: Kurokawa Ellen, Kenzaki Makoto

Haresora Concerto (”Clear Sky Concerto”)

Members: Minazuki Karen, Hojo Hibiki

Haresora Concerto with Mystic Diva (collab?)

Additional members: Tategami Aoi

Girls with strong affiliation to music...I think?

We saw Karen playing the violin in Yes!5 Precure’s OP and her parents are famous musicians themselves (just like Hibiki’s) but I can’t recall if she ever played any instrument during any particular episode in Yes! 5 or Gogo(?). Anyways...

Mystic Diva contains those who are renowned singers from another world (I don’t think Ellen sang much after she sorta permanently remained in human form but as Siren, she was one of the top contenders next to Hummy to sing the Melody of Happiness so there’s that).

Haresora Concerto obviously are for those who practice classical instruments.

Finally, the collaboration...is it a collaboration or did they really merge the two units together? If not, then Aoi will still need to be assigned to a group and if we’re going by the above criteria, she doesn’t fit into either one (Mystic Diva isn’t really her style anyway and she’s long given up the violin to play the guitar).

Maybe they’ll come up with another unit specifically focused on the rock genre in the future cuz we have Emiru and Lulu now so that’ll be enough to start one.

Others who can fit into Mystic Diva: Lulu Amour (+ guitar) [??]

Granted, Lulu didn’t sing before she arrived in present day Hugtto but she did say she’s going to bring music back to the future so...why not count that and the future as “another world”, hmm?

Others who can fit into Haresora Concerto: Yotsuba Alice (piano), Haruno Haruka (violin), Akagi Towa (violin), Kaidou Minami (violin) [??]

I don’t really associate Minami with music even though she is skilled at playing the violin. It’s just that compared to Towa and Haruka where the violin played a significant part in their story arcs, Minami and the violin is more secondary (pfft, not even) to her connection with the sea. But then again...Karen is in this group so I dunno :S

Did I forget anyone else who plays a classical instrument? I feel like I’m missing someone...

Others who can join the collab: Everyone listed above + Kasugano Urara (singing), Aisaki Emiru (singing, piano, violin and guitar)

Haruka Nozomu Mirai no Hana (”Wishing for the Flower of the Far Off Future”)

Members: Yumehara Nozomi, Haruno Haruka, Asahina Mirai, Nono Hana

The dream chasers.

And by far, the unit I find the most aesthetically pleasing. ^^

Also, I feel like some people would try to argue that Mirai “didn’t have a goal and therefore, she doesn’t belong in this group” so as she is my beloved daughter, I need to make them eat the dirt of their WRONGNESS.

Because MahoPre’s epilogue obviously showed her trying to find a way to reunite with Riko and Ha-chan, aka bring their two worlds together again, so that definitely counts as her dream (not to mention, the most ambitious one out of everybody else’s in this group). Furthermore, if you actually watched MahoPre more closely, you would know her dream of the two worlds coming together came to her gradually rather than happening at a particular moment and was solidified after she had to separate from her team after the Big Boss fight in the finale.

And you know what? Her wish was fulfilled in the end so y’all can suck it. :P

Others who can fit into this group: ...

Home Maid

Members: Kujo Hikari, Minamino Kanade, Madoka Aguri, Omori Yuko, Usami Ichika, Arisugawa Himari

Cooking or maybe, more accurately, sweets enthusiasts? *makes side eye at Aguri*

Well, besides that, they also either helped out at a restaurant or provided a service that had something to do with food (tea ceremony in Aguri’s case).

Hence, the “maid” part, I guess...

...but if so, then this is a poster for a maid cafe, not an idol unit! :P

Others who can fit into this group: Hyuuga Saki (family runs a bakery) [?], Akimoto Komachi (family runs a Japanese confectionery shop) [?], Hino Akane (family runs an okonomiyaki restaurant) [?], Haruno Haruka (family runs a Japanese confectionery restaurant) [?], Kotozume Yukari (learned from her grandmother how to perform tea ceremonies) [?], Kirahoshi Ciel (owns her own sweets restaurant), Nono Hana (grandparents ran a Japanese confectionery shop)

With the exception of Ciel, a lot of “?” cases here because similar to the Karen/Minami in Haresora Concerto, their main interests don’t particularly lie in cuisine and most of them never stated any intention of carrying on their family business. So it’s really up to whether you want them in this unit or not. Personally, I think Home Maid has enough members already so...

Oh and Hana was crossed off the list since she became the president of her own company at the end of Hugtto.

M.V.P.

Members: Misumi Nagisa, Hyuuga Saki, Natsuki Rin, Hino Akane, Midorikawa Nao

This one’s self-explanatory. Athletes. Sporty types.

Not much else to say.

Others who can fit into this group: Hojo Hibiki, Kagayaki Homare (?)

Yes, while Homare does participate in a sport, singles figure skating is mostly an individual event so the MVP title can’t really be applied to her. I guess that was the reasoning behind why she wasn’t placed in this group even though that’s what she’s most known for.

Osha-Revolution

Members: Kurumi Erika, Shirayuki Hime, Kagayaki Homare

The fashionistas!

This is my most favorite idol unit name out of all the others not only because it sounds like the most cleverly thought out but also because just hearing the word “revolution” gets the legendary Utena Revolution OP playing in my head again. *jams to the beat*

Thankfully, it’s got no connection to this idol series cuz *GAAASP*......*whispers* no.

Anyways, I’m glad it’s universally agreed upon that Erika and Hime would get along like five runways crisscrossing simultaneously at Fashion Week. Adding Homare to this lineup is appropriate because she’s always being complimented for dressing so stylishly.

Also, having someone as tall as her stand in between Erika and Hime like a giraffe hanging between two Hyacinth Macaws, lol is really...picture perfect.

Others who can fit into this group: ...

Secret Lives

Members: Mimino Kurumi, Hanami Kotoha, Kirahoshi Ciel

Mascots who can transform and became one of the main heroines in their respective seasons.

I like their aesthetic, too. Even though they give off cute vibes as much as any of the other idol groups, there’s still a “mystery” air about them.

Others who can fit into this group: Kurokawa Ellen (?)

Ermmm...Ellen was a mascot but she wasn’t aligned with the good side in the beginning. And after she became a Cure, she didn’t revert back to cat form again... *shrug*

Soushi⇄Souai (”Mutual Love with Creativity”)

Members: Mishou Mai, Akimoto Komachi, Hoshizora Miyuki, Kise Yayoi

Those whose strongest weapon is the pen (or brush) in their hand. Or something like that? I was trying to go for something more artful but I guess not. :P

This group’s name gave me a little trouble in translating but I think what I settled for in the end gets the idea across well enough. They love creating so much that they’ll be rewarded in kind with lots of inspiration.

...which sounds a bit unfair for everyone else suffering creative blocks but okay.

Others who can fit into this group: Nono Hana

Triple Heart

Members: Momozono Love, Aida Mana, Aino Megumi

The love-obsessed.

Not much else to say here either.

Others who can fit into this group: ...

Up to Me

Members: Aono Miki, Izayoi Riko, Kotozume Yukari

The Ladies.

At least that’s what I like to think them as. “Up to Me” gives off the impression of a very decisive person. Along with how mature they act, these girls fit that description to their own special degrees.

Like, Miki is very focused on her modeling career and confident she’ll go far, Riko has good work ethic and always aims for her goals and Yukari is, well, good at almost everything and is also a very “my pace” kind of woman.

...they all have purple hair, too, so I’m wondering if that’s another prerequisite for being added to this unit.

Others who can fit into this group: Tsukikage Yuri, Kenzaki Makoto (?)

Yuri would fit in no problem but Makoto I’m still teetering back and forth on...

Urara*Kirara

Members: Kasugano Urara, Amanogawa Kirara

Ra♪Raa♪Raaa♪Raaaa♪Raaaaa♪ Suīto Suīto Puri-Kyu=AH♪

Girls who aspire for the stage (acting and signing for Urara and modeling for Kirara) and have “-rara” in their names.

If that’s the case here, guess this is another unit meant for anyone who fits those limited criteria. Otherwise...

Others who can fit into this group: Aono Miki (modeling), Kenzaki Makoto (singing)

White Coat Angels

Members: Yamabuki Inori, Hishikawa Rikka, Kaidou Minami, Kenjou Akira

Those with a future in medicine.

But Minami...hmm, well, though it was never clearly stated what her profession was (I don’t think?) when she grew up, she could’ve gone on to become a wildlife veterinarian after she achieved her degree in marine biology so yea, she counts.

Others who can fit into this group: Minazuki Karen, Yakushiji Saaya

Exclusive??

Kiratto! Open to All

Members: Kira Kira Precure a la Mode

Twin Love

Members: Aisaki Emiru, Lulu Amour

Pretty damn sure the first one was made specially just for KiraPre. No other girls sport blatant animal imagery on them. Plus, there’s no point in including anymore members than how many this group already has.

As for Twin Love, it’s a canon idol pair unit in Hugtto. Adding anyone else in it would not make it “Twin” Love anymore.

So that leaves the question of where Emiru and Lulu will go in the next series, I guess. Though I’m sure they’ll stick together wherever they’re assigned.

Side B

Royal Road

Members: Kokoda Koji (Coco), Natts, Ouji Masamune, Prince Kanata

Fairy Five

Members: Amai Shiro (Syrup), Pop, Raquel, Lance, Aroma

Did anyone else think that “Side B” also stood for “Side Boys” before Dark Party was released? (And yes, I know what a B-side track is so you don’t have to tell me)

Anyways, Royal Road is obviously for the prince characters (though I don’t think they really needed to add Ouji-senpai since he’s just a minor recurring character, not supporting but whatever) and Fairy Five is for the younger male mascots who can transform.

Others who can fit into Royal Road: Prince Zeke, Wakamiya Henri, Aisaki Masato (?)

If Dark Dream can join an idol unit despite being a movie-only character, then I don’t see why they can’t integrate Prince Zeke into this unit as well. All that matters is how popular or memorable he was in HaCha’s movie because everyone who was picked out for Side B had to have had an impact on the audience one way or another. But at least Zeke makes more sense than Ouji-senpai.

Henri needs no explanation as he is the “Prince of the Ice” but if you want a prince to accompany his occasional “princess” role, including Masato wouldn’t be a bad idea. Though I still think Masato’s more of a knight than a prince.

Others who can fit into Fairy Five: Kuroro (?)

Granted, Kuroro only got a human form by combining powers with Lock in the final battle of Go!Pri and hasn’t technically earned it yet since he only begun fairy training when the season ended...but if he can, why not?

The Enemy Boys

Members: Irisawa Kiriya, Luntarou (Wolfrun), Kurosu (Close), Rio (Julio/Pikario)

Off-White

Members: Soular, Westar, Phantom, Shut

“The Enemy Boys” ...more like “School Infiltrators” since they were the few among villains to pose as students in order to get closer to the Cures.

Off-White consists of bishounen villains who eventually came around to understanding and siding with the good side. Which explains the “off white” part, I guess, since it wasn’t an immediate reform for them but a more gradual one that needed a lot of persuasion and thinking.

Others who can fit into The Enemy Boys: ...

Others who can fit into Off-White: Charaleet

Precure Legendary Heroes

Members: Cure Fire (Ban Kenji), Cure Sebastian (Sebastian)

Dark Party

Members: Dark Dream, Dark Precure, Regina, Bibury Vibry

Legendary Heroes is clearly a parody of the Precure franchise itself but since we already grew out of those jokes thanks to Hugtto, I’m hoping I won’t see any updates for this group ever again. And I will be absolutely livid if they dare to put Cure Infini in this unit because that is not funny.

Dark Party needs no extensive explanation as they were former nemesis/rivals to the Cures who never really got a “good” form even after their Heel-Face Turn (Dark Precure didn’t even get one of these). Which is fine because that’s essentially their charm. What makes dark magical girls so appealing is how awesome they are even when they’re “evil”.

Also gotta love the gothic lolita clothes that a number of them usually wear. If they didn’t keep Side B separate from Side A, I totally would’ve liked to put Eas and Twilight in this group as well.

Others who can fit into Dark Party: ...

List of updates under the cut...

[1/29/19] - Post published.

So with that little change in mind, here are the few Characters in Persona Asphalt I have right now:

Elee Leigh (Later Changed to Elee Esperer), Fool Arcana: Main Character and leader of the Heroes Union (the team in Asphalt). Has an opened personality as a front, but is actually worried all the time about the world crumbling around her. Gains her persona in a battle against a fake version of her Shadow. Her initial/base Persona is Sento, based on the story of Kamen Rider Build, her soul shows what she wishes for in the world most: Love and Peace. She fight her true shadow by the end and releases her Ultimate Persona KiRyuuga, based on Cross-Z Build, her truer self shows that she wishes to learn from herself and others as she strives to a live of love, peace, and hope. Has had a connection to shadows since she was 6, since the place she was abandoned was actually Okinawa. A certain pair of siblings of blue and red/pink and their team were the ones to find her.

Roddy Etchings, Magician Arcana: Second Party Member and best friend of Elee, (also potential love interest). An aspiring fashion designer, he wishes to make stylish clothing for those he cares about, but the people in charge of the tech focused fashion stores in Neotech only wish to use him for his talents, instead of hiring him. He nearly falls into a despair over how no one will truly like his work, which he avoids when he meets Elee and faces his fears, granting him the Persona: Katsumi, based on Ultraman Rosso from R/B showing his love of fashion firsthand. When he unlocks his ultimate, it is through how he finally realizes that fashion is actually okay to mix with subjects, his favorite being science, unlocking his Ultimate: Minato, a full amount of Greube from the R/B movie but Persona-fied.

Bree Survi, The Chariot Arcana: Third Party member (and a love interest of Elee). A girl with a passion for performing magic, she had escaped a toxic relationship before the events of asphalt. When her past comes back to haunt her in Neotech, she begins to lose hope that she’ll ever be able to grow stronger. Through only a little push from Elee, she stands up for herself and fights back, unlocking her Persona: Futari (A persona-fied mix of Cure White). When she finally admits to herself that idea of a relationship with others is somethings she’s been wanting for a while, but she was scared of being hurt again, she unlocks her ultimate: PreCura.

Lia Kingly, Empress Arcana: Fourth party member. Neotech Academy’s resident “Queen”, she secretly wishes for nothing but the love of real friends and the chance to go wherever she wants. Gains a real friend with Elee as a Relation Connection, before joining the party when she faces her shadow in the Net (and becoming another Love Interest for Elee, and is the closest to being canon). Her Persona is Shishi, and it evolves into Orion (based on Shishi red’s forms).

Wilson “Webby” Crimson, Star Arcana: A program originating from the Shadow Net, later revealed to be the once though missing son of Shad0wTech’s CEO. Acts as the groups navigator before he gets his own Persona, to become the fifth member of the team. His is an automatic Relation Connection for until you max it out (he’s also a potential love interest). Unlocks his persona after facing his shadow and learning the big truth of his past. His wants to find the truth grants him the Persona Janperson. When he reaches his max link, his persona grows into Gavan.

Max “Fang” Fangsen, Emperor Arcana: The sixth Party Member and second Navigator. Thought to be nothing but a punk by many of the other students, is actually a very smart person who works hard on his looks so no one will pick on him. Faces his shadow and begins his Relation Connection with Elee (another love interest, though it’s hinted he also has feelings for Roddy). His persona is 2Bat, who later evolves into Kivat (based on Kivat the 2 and 3 from Kiva)

Akira Ryuusou, Tower Arcana: Seventh Party Member, and an aspiring business studies focused student. He had once believed that business had to trample over everyone that could interrupt it, but saved himself when he remembered his morals were not worth compromising for the sake of money. His relation connection is learning to deal with his once terrible tendencies, and growing past them (continues the trend of being a potential love interest). His Persona is Zanget and his ultimate Persona is Kachidoki Zangetsu (it should be clear who that’s based on.)

Elise Knighting, Priestess Arcana: Eighth and final party member. A girl with royal heritage, she feels she trapped in a fate of only having her name tied to a past she wants nothing to do with. She faces her shadow and despair, regainning her hope of being able to change her family name into one of pride. Her Relation Connection is her first steps to becoming a recognized name. (Also a potential love interest, though she also has potential feelings for Webby.) Her Persona is Dull-Ga, and her Ultimate Persona is Bright-Garo (based on the Golden Knight Garo and what little I know of that series.)

Heroes Union, Fortune Arcana Relation Connection: The name of Asphalt’s team. They believe that as long as they stick together and keep their hope, Fortune will shine upon them. Earned their name from how Heroes were made to inspire hope to all. Updates automatically.

Mr. (Roger) Scripten, Strength Arcana Relation Connection: Elee’s Theater Teacher. Starts out as cold and closed to all, but actually cares about the students he teaches. As you become close to him, he slowly opens up to others, and becomes more cheerful. Eventually reveals that the reason he closed himself off is that one of students had an accident when working in the tech shop, and he was scared of getting close to students after. He provides Elee with help on her theatrics skills, in turn helping her dancing in the Shadow Net.

Molly Esperer, Hierophant Arcana Relation Connection: Elee’s adopted mom, she’s the head of the R&D area at Shad0wTech and a caring person. She’s very young to be a parent, at 27, but she wanted a child because she had felt that her home was too empty without a family, one that she wanted, despite not looking for any partners currently. She supports Elee in whatever she does, and provides info about shady tech dealings when she learns about the Union.

Mitsuru Kirijo and Yukari Takeba, Justice Arcana Relation Connection: Elee’s other ‘Moms’. Were the two who visited her the most when she was still in Japan. They still keep in contact with her, but eventually she gets to see them again when they move to Neotech for their work (Yukari getting a new role in a show being filmed there, and Mitsuru wanting to set up new works for the Kirijo Group in Neotech.)

Rise Kujikawa, Sun Arcana Relation Connection: The famous idol herself is living in Neotech for the next year and a half due to her work. Meets Elee when the girl interns at a production studio. She becomes quick friends with her, and is especially interested by the fact that she seems to know both Yukari Takeba AND Mitsuru Kirijo.

Barista From Japan, Ren, Moon Arcana Relation Connection: An aspiring professional cook and barista from Japan, Ren seems to know more than he lets on. Meets Elee when she enters his current workplace and he mentions wanting to see some Labyrinth Movies with a friend again someday. Later reveals himself as THE Ren Amamiya, once leader of the Phantom Thieves (Elee remembers meeting him once upon a time somewhere. Perhaps a Movie Theater? Or was it a Maze? She can’t get the letter Q out of her head.)

Elizabeth, Death Arcana Relation Connection: A mysterious woman who owns the Blue House book rental. She reminds Elee of those two from ten years ago (due to how she was the attendant for them). The persona Elee can fuse by the end gives her a sad feeling, as if those two are with her again (Messiah and Thanatos).

Eli Simmers, Temperance Arcana Relation Connection: The man who runs the toy shop (and provides the Heroes Union with their weapons). Imports toys from overseas and bonds with Elee over their shared love of Featherman and Kamen Racer (as it’s called in that world). Wants nothing more in life than to share his joy of other cultures with Neotech, and his Connection is all about that.

Manuel Imborglione, Devil Arcana Relation Connection: Neotech Academy’s resident prankster, who also happens to be the star history student. Every prank he pulls is planned out with a historical event in mind and is often in the middle when it comes to win loss ratios for these pranks. His story is his want to make people learn from the past, as he had learned from his own growing up. As another student he is a potential love interest.

Mabel Enforcra, Judgement Arcana Relation Connection: Another Student at Neotech, Mabel is an aspiring comic writer and is Asphalt’s succesor to Mishima, as the moderator of the Heroes Union Site, the place that all of the dances of the HU are uploaded too. Her story involves her want to prove her worth as a writer, and Elee being there as a support. As a student, she is another potential love interest.

Stella Reclu, Hermit Arcana Relation Connection: Stella is Neotech Academy’s top astrology student, with the habit of pushing everyone away who tries to get close. Elee manages to stay despite her pushing and learns that she was being pushed because Stella didn’t want her parents to try and threaten anyone for interrupting her studies. The Heroes Union saves her grieving heart and she finally stands up to her parents. As a student, she is another potential love interest for Elee.

Wilbur and Charlotte, The Lovers Arcana Relation Connection: The attendants of the Velvet Room, a married couple who live in the city and owe Igor a favor for help from a long time ago. They offer assistance to Elee when they see her, and handle the Persona Compendium.

Igor: The series staple caretaker of the Velvet Room, he offers his assistance with Persona Fusion and fortunetelling services. He loves the current status of the Velvet Room, as a hero group headquarters, stating it fills him with great pride as an over looker of the hopes of humans.

Phan Cam: The Festival of Our Dreams

WARNING: This post may be a bit long. Also, there’s a chance some posts may not show on time.

>The stage for the Dream Festival was all set up and ready. The idols were doing some last minute rehearsals before the first concert. Dream FES will last six days from Monday to Saturday this year. The first event takes place tonight on Monday which will be like any other concert. The second event takes place on Wednesday where it’s Open Mike Nite and anyone can perform on stage, even with the idols. The finale takes place on Saturday where the competition to see which Rookie Idols, Skull included, will get to become True Idols and possibly record a CD takes place with the idols finishing it with a huge show stopper.

Okay, so I stand here and I announce the groups when they come out. I think I got it.

Good. Now when you announce them, don’t hold back, give it as much energy as you can so the audience can feel it.

MC: I’ll do just that.

Worker: Hey, they stylist is calling for one last check!

MC: Coming!

>The MC leaves. Haruto also goes back stage.

>The dressing room. KUROFUNE was getting ready for that night.

God, this is just so great! We’re gonna blow this place tonight!

Calm down, Ryuji, I’m just as excited as you are.

Skull: I know. But this isn’t like all the other times I performed with you guys. This is the big time.

The real big time.

I’m glad to see you’re hyped for this. Now we know the songs we’ll be performing?

Yuto: First, we perform OVER THE SEVEN SEAS. Then, Treasured Hearts. And we finish off with Whole New World.

Skull: I like that choice. Though I wish I coulda written another song before all this.

Keigo: This year’s Dream FES is a week long to correspond with the End of Summer. You’ll have another chance soon.

??????: I hope so.

>They turn to see DearDream and Haruto come in.

Keigo: What brings you here?

We wanted to wish you luck... Or is it “break a leg”?

Either way, we hope you’ll do well.

Keigo: Thanks.

Yuto: What songs are you performing for Dream FES?

We’re starting with Dream Pulse. Next, we’ll do Up to speed!. And finally, GO TOMORROW!!!!!

I’ve added something new to our finale.

Skull: Really? You added something new to that last song?

Actually, he’s talking about the finale where both our groups perform.

Haruto: Actually. it’ll be three this year.

For real!? There’s more this year!?

Haruto: (smiling) You’re Ryuji Sakamoto, am I right? KUROFUNE’s newest member.

Skull: It’s a part-time job, actually. But I hope to work full if I can.

Haruto: I see. Well, this year, ANSwer will be joining you.

Kanade: So Asuma san, Chikage san, and Eiji san will be singing with us?

Haruto: That’s what the producers said. Letting one of the newer idol groups perform with two of the legendary idol groups, especially with KUROFUNE’s newest idol would gather more people.

Shin: That sounds a little... Big.

Haruto: That’s business. But don’t worry. I know you can do it. I’ve seen you do more impossible things than I can count.

Kanade: No doubt.

Haruto: So, can I count on you to do this?

KUROFUNE and DearDream: Yes!

Haruto: That’s the spirit. Well, see you tonight.

>With that, he leaves... And we come in.

Sounds like a big job.

Skull: I’m sure we can pull it off. With all of us here.

Keigo: That’s right. By the way, I like your concert outfits.

Thanks, my mom helped me put them together.

Keigo: God bless you, Katherine sama.

Wait until the Wednesday event, will have something really great on.

Chizuru: I’m already looking forward to it. By the way, how’s Suzui san? I hear she’s taking part in the Stride Tournament.

Panther: She’s doing fine. I’ll tell her you wish her luck.

Chizuru: And don’t forget to tell her that we love her.

That’s a little too much for her to take, but okay.

But thanks for wishing her luck, though.

>Then, Peter, Harry, Gwen, Miles, Anya, Aleksei, Randy, and Liz arrive. Also with them are John Jameson, Flash Thompson, even Alistaire Smythe, and three new faces: A young man with glasses, a chubby boy in a school uniform, and a young woman in a sweater.

You made it!

It wasn’t easy, we almost lost our luggage.

Only because one of us didn’t exactly packed light.

Well excuse me if this is my first trip overseas!

You should have just taken my advice and only packed what you really needed. Me? My football’s all I need.

So, you didn’t pack anything else? No clothes, just your ball and the clothes you already have on?

Flash: ... Okay, maybe there’s more than a ball that I need.

If he’s stayin’ with me and Harry, I draw the line at lendin’ my clothes to him.

Relax, Ryuji, I made arrangements at the Wilton Hotel.

Good. I don’t think any of the places our Japanese friends stay are wheelchair accessible.

Actually, my apartment has an elevator.

Yeah, we saw it the last time we were here.

So, how excited are you that you’ll be doing this?

Skull: I’m a little nervous, but everyone’s here, so I’m okay.

Speaking of everyone, aren’t you going to introduce us?

Peter: Right. Everyone, these are some of the friends I talked about. This is Kamala Khan.

Kamala: It’s nice to meet you.

(outfit altered to avoid being flagged) It’s nice to meet you, too, Kamala chan.

Harry: Ollie Osnick, he was a student at Oz Academy.

Actually, I’m already acquainted with Ryuji san.

Skull: Really? How so?

Ollie: ... It’s complicated.

Peter: And last, but far from least, Grady Scraps.

It’s nice to meet you. お会いできて光栄です。

名誉は私たちのものです。

Grady: Sorry about the uniform. It was in such a hurry, this was the only thing I could get on.

It’s alright, Grady, we’re here until the 24. We have plenty of time to shop for new threads.

Grady: That’s good to hear.

Chizuru: Then might I suggest Peace Parade. Sheep Heavenly is good, too.

For real!? Idol Brands can be bought as well?

Keigo: Normally, it isn’t. But remember, even though they are used in the Dream FES System, the clothes are still made by designers and they use our concert to promote their clothes.

Panther: It’s true. Mom does it sometimes, too.

Fox: I see... I wonder if I should feature my art in a concert.

Maybe on Wednesday. I know they'll love it, Yusuke.

And that’s why I love you, Ren.

>We both smile.

They’re the same as always. Even though we just saw them not that long ago.

Queen: Anyway, now to introduce ourselves.

>We introduce ourselves. Even Yuto, Keigo, and even DearDream introduced themselves.

Ollie: Nice to meet you all. But it seems you’re missing a couple of people.

Queen: Diego and Mishima are already in the crowd. We’ll be meeting up with them soon.

Skull: I just wish Axel and the others could be here, but they went back to Landmark City. I’m sure we’ll see ‘em again soon.

Oracle: Me, too. I’ve heard of this guy called Garrett and I really hope I’d meet him.

Worker: (coming in) Hey, the concert starts in a few minuets. You guys better get ready. (leaves)

Joker: Well, we’ll see on later on. Have a great show.

Enjoy the show!

>We leave.

>In the crowd, we meet up with Diego, Admin, Shiho Suzui, Boss, Sae, Mrs. Sakamoto, and even our councilor, Takuto Maruki.

About time you got here. This place is getting hyped up and packed.

(sorry if she’s still wearing her old uniform) He’s right, a lot of people showed up this year. Look over there.

>She pointed and we saw that Japanese fencer, Kagami Tsurugi, was here with French teen model, Adrien Agreste.

Panther: Are they here as a couple?

Shiho: I doubt it. They brought their friends.

>She is right, there are seven more teenagers with them... Two of which I recognized, but I won’t say more on it.

Not just them. Look there.

>He pointed to who is unmistakable the “Super High Schooler”, Moyuru Koda, and his teammate/boyfriend, Junichi Kotoba. They’re holding each other really tight.

It looks like we have some royal visitors, too.

>She was right. Not too far from where we were are the Royal Family of Attilan with their fellow Inhumans, Inferno, Iso, Haechi, and Flint Jaycen. (We’ll just call him Jaycen because we already know a Flint.) Not too far from them is King T’Challa of Wakanda, aka Black Panther. And next to him is Thor Odinson of Asgard.

I see a few other celebrities, too.

>I look around. I also see Hifumi is here. I also spot Rise, Yu, Yosuke Nanako, a man who I can assume is her father, and Teddie. I don’t think they notice me. With them is model/actress, Yukari Takeba. Not too far from them is the American author, Phoebe Halliwell and her husband, Coop. They were in deep conversation with... A young dark-skin man with pink dread locks who was accompanied by another dark-skin young man with brown cornrows, a young man with facial hair and glasses, a young man with long blonde hair, and, was was unmistakably, a brown and blue mecha.

This is getting too much. How’d I get dragged into this, anyway?

Oracle: (smirking) Because you just can’t say no to a face like this.

Boss: Heh! Maybe.

?????: Maybe you’re just getting soft.

>We turn to the newcomer... We were shocked.

What the hell are you doing here?

Are you saying it’s wrong to visit family once in a while?

Crow: Says the man who abandoned me and my mother in our hour of need.

Shido: That’s all water under the bridge now. Let bygones be bygones...

Besides, I happened to be a fan of Sankishi. Is that alright with you?

Crow: ... Just behave yourself, alright?

Shido: Like a church mouse. (sits quietly on his seat... Next to Crow)

This is going to be a long week.

?????: No kidding.

>Then, another comes in... You’ve got to be kidding.

I never pegged you to be someone who like theses events.

Now do we have to be such a downer? ... By the way, how do you like my anime look?

Seriously? What is it with older men and anime?

Stark: Just dressing for the occasion.

???: Actually, I kind of agree with her.

>Then, four new faces join in.

But at least your beard looks good.

Stark: That’s something, I guess.

Still, I guess it’s a slight improvement from your last two anime forms.

I’ve never seen that, so I can’t judge.

Eh, he’s still the same, either way.

Stark: (in defeat) Let’s just enjoy the show.

Mrs. Sakamoto: (whisper) It’s nice of you to come, by the way.

Energetic boy: (also whispering) Thanks.

>Then, the lights dimmed and the crowd starts cheering louder. The lights on the stage come on. The MC comes on stage.

MC: HELLO, TOKYO! WELCOME TO THE DREAM FESTIVAL 2019!

>The audience was hyped.

MC: Now before we begin, I first would like you all to give a big warm welcome to some famous people in the crowd tonight. Let’s give them a hand!

>The crowd cheered for all the people the others mentioned. Although, I’ve noticed that the Inhumans got little while Black Panther and Thor got a lot... Man, they’re cruel to them, they’re just like us... Only with power and slightly different appearances. Koda mostly got cheers from the girls while Rise and Yukari got cheers from the guys.

MC: And now, with out further ado, let’s welcome our first act for the night. The legendary idol group with a million cheers in one night, our very own Sankishi!

>The crowd cheered loud for the first idol group.

Haruto: Good evening, everyone! How are you?

>The crowd cheered.

Susa: That’s music to our ears. And we know that we’ll be music to your ears.

Ichika: Let our voices reach to you, tonight. Your hearts will glow for us.

Haruto: And we will glow for you. Let’s soar to our future.

Sankishi: TOGETHER!

Dorika Time!

Shido: I believe this one should suffice.

Crow: How... Fitting for you.

>We load our wands and launch the cards into the stage.

Catch Your Cheers!

Haruto: I shall wear your cheers with honor!

Catch Your Cheers!

Susa: My heart goes out to all of you!

Catch Your Cheers!

Ichika: The songs we sing shall be the pride of tonight!

(sorry for the chop job)

White Orchid Series! Complete!

>Sankishi begin their performance. The audience and us really enjoyed... But we know what we’re really looking forward to, but Sankishi is good, too.

>After some time, Sankishi finished their songs.

Haruto: Thank you all! I hope you enjoy the next group as much as you enjoyed us!

>They leave and the MC comes back.

MC: I’m so sure they will, Haruto san. Now for your next group. They were practically born for this show. Heck, they’re basically named after it. Give up for the idol group that puts the Dream back in Dream FES! DearDream!

>Everyone cheered.

Kanade: Before we begin, we would like to give a big thank you to Moyuru Koda, who is a big fan of ours, for coming here.

If you can really live up to your group’s name, I’ll really be hyped for the finale on Friday.

Junya: Then I guess we shouldn’t disappoint now, should we?

>The crow gave a little laugh. Then, I notice Koda is holding his arms and chest. I use my Third Eye to take a closer look at what he’ saying to Junichi.

It’s alright. We took all the precautions. I don’t think it’s going to happen here.

Koda: I know... I’m just worried. After what happened at that party... What I almost did to you.

Junichi: It wasn’t your fault. No one could predict that would happen.

Koda: Oh yeah? ... Tell that to your missing leg. You nearly lost your place on the team.

Junichi: But I didn’t give up... And you shouldn’t either.

Koda: Normally I would side with the winning team. I always saw you as that... But I realize, it never really was about winning or losing.

Junichi: And what’s that?

Koda: ... If I knew that, I would own the world.

>The two young men smiled in joy.

DearDream: Alright then, let’s being our show!

Dorika Time!

Junichi: If their first song is Dream Pulse, I think this one will work.

Koda: (smiling) Yeah, I think so, too.

>They loaded their cards and launched away.

Catch Your Cheers!

Kanade: Thank you so much!

Catch Your Cheers!

Shin: Thank you for your support!

Catch Your Cheers!

Junya: Your cheers will light up!

Catch Your Cheers!

Itsuki: Thank you, we’ll do our best for you!

Catch Your Cheers!

Chizuru: Your cheers will strengthen my love for you!

Candy Block R Series! Complete!

>DearDream performs their song, Dream Pulse. The audience really applauded when they finished.

>Meanwhile, with T’Challa and Thor.

I am still unfamiliar with this. Do all Japanese idols transform like that?

According to Stark, only those who work for this production company. Though I still wish I knew how.

(who couldn’t help but overhear) No one really knows. It’s one of Japan’s greatest mysteries. Although, I’ve heard the System works on the dreams of the idols and the people who go watch them... But that’s just one theory.

Thor: I see... I think.

King T’Challa: (looking through the Dorika) Let’s see. I was told when they first performed Up to speed!, they used this.

Iso: The original Candy Block Coord. That should be good.

Thor: Yes. Very elder school.

Iso: That’s old school.

Thor: What’s the difference?

Can you hurry up, Iso? They’re about to start up again.

Iso: Right.

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Kanade: Let’s get things up to speed! ... Okay, not a good job, but still.

>DearDream change their clothes.

Candy Block Series! Complete!

>DearDream performs their song, Up to speed!.

>Meanwhile, with the Investigation Team.

I brought the snacks!

Thanks, Yosuke senpai.

Yes, thank you.

I don’t think you need to copy that.

Just be careful, Yosuke, that looks like more than you can carry.

Yosuke: Sorry, Dojima san, I guess I didn’t expect a certain bear to order so many.

Teddie: (shocked) Now that’s just rude!

Yosuke: But you’re the one who- WHOA!

>Yosuke tripped.

Koda: (who noticed) Hold it!

>As if he were as fast as the wind, Koda quickly catches Yosuke and all the snacks before they hit the ground.

Koda: Your friend is right, you have way too many snacks here.

Yosuke: (a bit surprised) R- Right!

Teddie: (pouting) So mean.

Rise: (also surprised) Wow, you caught my senpai so quickly. No wonder you’re the Super High Schooler.

Koda: (helping Yosuke back on his feet) Thanks.

Nanako: (amazed) You’re the Super High Schooler? Wow. Actually, my big bro is a bit of a super high schooler himself.

Koda: ... (laughs) I doubt it. I have something he probably will never have.

Yu: And what’s that?

Koda: ... If I told you, they would kick me out of the tack team.

>The Investigation Team just stares in wonder. Koda begins to make his way back to Junichi when he suddenly felt like he was being watched. He turns... Phoebe Halliwell and the young man she was talking to were watching him. he quickly turns, pretending not to notice, and returns to Junichi.

>With them.

(using comic appearances to avoid getting in trouble) You saw it, too, didn’t you?

No doubt. So he’s really... That sucks. He’s boyfriend will probably be disappointed.

Hold on, Kaz, I don’t think we should act just yet. He hasn’t done anything, so I think we’re safe for now.

Kaz: Hope you’re right.

(sorry, this is the only picture I could find) Be patient, sir. We’ll have our chance.

Kaz: Right.

Yo, Kaz, they’re about to start.

We thought it over and we thought this should be used for GO TOMORROW!!!!!

It’s no Gucci, but I think this is just as fabulous.

Kaz: Right.

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Kanade: Let’s go on to our future together!

Rose Bullet Series! Complete!

>They being their song, GO TOMORROW!!!!!. The crowd really cheered, even us and the Royal Family joined in.

Looks like you guys have a favorite group.

Maybe.

Just a little.

...

Fine, a lot. But only because we can sense the heart in their songs.

As can I. If they were like us, we would definitely wish to bring them back with us.

*bark*

Iso: It’s one of the few things that makes us no different... Music.

Haechi: You might get your chance.

Kanade: Thank you for tonight’s cheers! Be sure to give that same love to KUROFUNE!

>With that, DearDream leaves and the MC arrives.

MC: For our next group, they have sailed through the trail and hardships, but have made it all they here tonight. They even recently picked up a new member. Ladies and gentlemen, weigh anchor and raise your colors for the Gold, Silver, and Bronze: KUROFUNE!

>As KUROFUNE gets on stage, the crowd cheered a lot. Me and my friends were cheering the loudest. I also notice the Investigation Team cheering really loud, too... I hope Skull gets the win on Saturday.

Yuto: The time has come to set sail to dreams ahead!

Keigo: The stars shall guide us to your hearts and your souls!

So join us on our adventure to find our passion!

KUROFUNE: Let KUROFUNE be your captain tonight!

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Yuto: The great seas are calling us!

Catch Your Cheers!

Keigo: Your cheers will be our map to you!

Catch Your Cheers!

New Sailing ver. Ryuji

Skull: Alright! The wind is blowin’ our way!

(Reminder: The following images are not in violation of the Tumblr policy as they do not actually contain sensitive or adult contain. They only show the upper half. Please do not flag.)

>Skull was wearing the same thing, but with a more Bronze color.

New Sailing Series! Complete!

>KUROFUNE begin their song, OVER THE SEVEN SEAS. We were cheering loudly for them.

Skull: (after finishing the song) This next song is a song I wrote. I would like to dedicate to my friends and family who supported me all this time. Especially, Ren Amamiya, Goro Akechi, Peter Parker, and Harry Osborn.

Thanks so much for everything you’ve done! I love you all!

We love you, too, brother!

We know you can do it, Ryuji!

Peter: You and KUROFUNE can do it! Together!

Harry: This is your dream! Go for it!

>Suddenly, the boy known as Makoto, leaped up from his seat.

Makoto: THAT’S RIGHT! JUST TAKE FLIGHT AND YOU CAN DO IT!

(whisper) Thanks, little bro.

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Innocent Pirates ver. Ryuji

Skull: I’m gonna enjoy this!

Catch Your Cheers!

Yuto: Now we shall sing to your hearts!

Catch Your Cheers!

Keigo: Your cheers shall brighten the stage tonight!

(Imagine Skull wearing the same outfit, but Bronze in comparison to Gold and Silver.)

Innocent Pirates Series! Complete!

>They being to sing Treasured Hearts.

>After they finished, a Wakandan guard comes to us.

Wakandan guard: My king and his fellow Avenger wish to speak to those Ryuji Sakamoto spoke of.

Really? They wishes to speak to us?

Wakandan guard: I also have been asked by Lady Crystal that Chloe, Kamala, and Makoto of the Future Avengers come as well.

Makoto: Only Bruno comes.

Bruno: (in defeat) Please don’t drag me into this.

Peter: Well, we should at least see what they have to say.

>We make our way to the VIP Seats where the royals were waiting for us.

Hello, Future Avengers and Web Warriors and friends.

Chloe: Hey, Triton.

Triton: We will be speaking with Chloe, Kamala, Makoto, and Bruno. King T’Challa and Thor will speak with the rest of you.

Peter: Alright.

Chloe: Tell them I’ll speak to them later.

>Me, Crow, Peter, and Harry go over to King T’Challa and Thor.

Thor: You are friends of Ryuji Sakamoto?

Joker: Yes, we are.

Peter: We support him in his dreams and what he does.

Thor: Yes. I know you two as Spider-Man and Stealth Spider, so I can say that you have made many great friends.

King T’Challa: That is true.

Crow: Is that all you just wanted to do?

King T’Challa: Maybe. I have heard a great deal about you, Goro Akechi, the Detective Prince. And your father.

Crow: What about him?

Thor: We know that Inhuman reside here in Japan as well. But they mysteriously disappeared... After the sudden appearances of psychotic breakdowns and mental shutdowns.

...

King T’Challa: But now that’s passed thanks to the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. After some time, Japan’s Inhumans are slowly resurfacing.

Joker: Yes, we know. Some of them are even at our school. But we have no problems with that. They’re not doing anything wrong.

They make Japan feel like we’re part of something bigger.

Thor: That is true... However, there is one thing that troubles us.

Crow: What’s that?

King T’Challa: ... Actually, it can wait until after the show.

Harry: You’re right. This is Ryuji’s show. Let’s not spoil it. We’ll talk later.

>We return to our seats. Chloe stays behind to talk to King T’Challa and Thor.

Stark: So what did they have to say?

Bruno: We’ll tell you later. Right now, KUROFUNE is about to sing their last song for the evening.

Adi: (nods) I searched the deck and I think I know just the cards to use for this song.

Crow: I think that will be just perfect.

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Yuto: Now for our finale for tonight!

Catch Your Cheers!

Keigo: Thank you! This will keep me going!

Catch Your Cheers!

Skull: Nothin’ is between me and your Cheers!

(Skull’s has bronze colored feathers on both shoulders.)

Infinite Voyage Series! Complete!

>KUROFUNE performs their last song of the night, Whole New World. (Not the song from Aladdin, in case you were wondering.)

>With the Investigation Team.

(Can’t believe I didn’t get to talk when we came to the scene with Kida.) That song was great. It’s definitely nothing like the Disney one... Actually, they’re both good.

Nanako: I want to vote them to win the competition.

Rise: Well technically, KUROFUNE already won in a previous Dream FES. They’re not Rookie Idols anymore. Except for Ryuji, so I guess we can vote for him.

Nanako: Then I’ll vote for him.

Yu: That’s good of you, Nanako.

Teddie: Yes. Beary good.

Rise: If he ever makes it, I so want to help him with his CD. Yosuke senpai, you help, too.

Yosuke: (a little confused) Why me?

Rise: Well, you always have headphones on. Maybe you can lend a hand.

Yosuke: (groans) As if I have nothing better to do. And I have a relative who’s an idol, too.

>With us.

Way to go, KUROFUNE!

Adi: I agree!

Mrs. Sakamoto: I love you, Ryu kun!

(Does she have to shout out my pet name?)

Keigo: Thank you! And we hope you will share that love with Ryuji san and vote for him for the competition!

>The whole audience really cheered as the MC comes back on.

MC: I’m sure they will, Keigo san. And good luck to you... Ryu kun.

(trying to walk off stage quietly) (Keep it together. Keep it together.)

MC: And now, for our last group of the evening. They help with the most difficult questions in your life No matter what, they are the ones you are searching for. (Mostly because they were voted for that name.) Ladies and gentlemen, give a big hand for ANSwer!

Akiomi Inamasu: Good evening, Tokyo!

Nanao Hidaka: We may be last, but we’re really not the last!

Souji Kibino: Yes.

ANSwer: Now let’s get to it!

(Since they’re a minor group in Dream Festival, we’ll be skipping their song. Sorry, guys. Maybe if they make a third series.)

MC: Weren’t they spectacular? Make you wish they really were the answer, then every student would pass their test.

>Everyone laughs a little and the joke as they applauded.

MC: Well, that’s it for tonight. When we come back on Wednesday, we’ll be having our Open Mike Nite. Anyone wishing to perform doing whatever show they wish to put on, good luck to you all! And remember... If you wish to use the System, you have to sign in and pay the fee in advance before Wednesday. If you haven’t, you have to pay double.

>All the idols join the MC on stage.

Haruto: The Open Mike Nite is here to remind us that you are just as important to us as we are important to you.

Kanade: You have just as much talent as we do. If not in singing or dancing, then in other ways. No matter what.

Yuto: We wish only good luck to you for showing us just how well you do what you do. Not in competition, just for fun.

Akiomi Inamasu: So let’s see what you can do that night. So until then...

Idols: Our goal is the Dream Festival! Dream FES is about to start!

>Everyone in the audience, including us, cheer happily.

>In the dressing room, we, including, the Investigation Team, Tony Stark, and the Future Avengers, came back to congratulate KUROFUNE for their performance.

Flash: That! Was! AWESOME! ... Though it will never be as cool as Spidey.

Peter: Aw, thanks, Flash.

Flash: (unimpressed) Don’t push it, Parker.

What Mr. Thompson is trying to say is, you guys did well tonight.

Keigo: Thank you, Makoto chan.

Makoto: That’s gonna be tough. My name is like hers.

Queen: I don’t mind being called Mako chan if that’s alright with Haru.

Noir: It should be fine.

Mrs. Sakamoto: Ryu kun, I’m so proud of your performance.

Skull: Thanks, Mom. (And enough with the Ryu kun, already.)

Rise: Just keep it up and might win that CD debut.

Skull: Yeah. I’m lookin’ forward to it.

Yu: We’ll be supporting you all the way.

Yuto You have good friends, Ryuji san. Be happy with that.

You know it.

Oracle: This calls for a celebration!

After-party at Leblanc! Sojiro, let’s get a turkey.

Now hold it! I don’t think it’s big enough to fit us all.

Oracle: In that case...

Let’s pull our funds and get some sushi!

Diego: (really happy) I can get on board with that.

Fox: That could be hard. I’m low on cash at the moment.

Skull: Let me guess, art supplies?

Pretty much.

Harry: I’m rich. I can get the sushi.

Stark: I better pitch in, too. I still remember from what happened the last time I had some.

Bruno: I doubt you’ll be attacked this time.

I’m not going to ask what that means.

>We begin to make our way to the exit. I notice that the dressing room used by Sankishi. I hear voices in there. I couldn’t help buy listen.

Randy: Hey, Ren, you coming?

Joker: ... My shoelace came undone. You go, I’ll catch up.

Flash: Alright, but hurry up. I really want to taste that sushi.

Diego: I want some sushi, too... But I’ll stay behind and help.

>With that, the rest of the groups leaves while me and Diego stay.

Diego: What’s up, Joker?

Joker: I thought I heard something in Sankishi’s dressing room. I’m very suspicious.

Diego: Alright. I’ll see what I can do.

>Diego changes back to Morgana form and sneaks into the room. I access his collar cam with my phone... I was a little shocked.

Shido: Is that any way to talk to an old friend? Or even a fan?

Haruto: We’re not friends. But we still accept you as a fan.

Susa: And after knowing your secret, I doubt we’ll be friends now.

Ichika: Sorry. Guess stuff like this just happens.

Shido: I merely come here to congratulate you, and this is how you treat me? ... After everything I’ve done for D-Four?

Haruto: Tch! Don’t remind us. I’m surprised we’re still going after what happened with the Phantom Thieves... And what you did to your son?

>Shido, his face full of fury, bashes his fist against a mirror, shattering it.

Listen and listen well, you fucking, ungrateful fools! If it weren’t for me, D-Four Productions and you would have lost everything. The three of you would be out of a job. Your little proteges would be out of a job...

So I suggest you be a little more nicer.

Haruto: (looking down) ...

>Morgana returns to me and changes back to Diego. Just then, Shido walks out and notices us.

Can I help you two?

Well...

Shido: (staring at me) You look... familiar.

?????: I see you’ve met my new intern.

>I look up to see Tony Stark and Yuto coming up.

Shido: (unconvinced) Really? I don’t see someone like you hiring someone like him, Stark. What is this about?

Stark: (firm) It’s exactly as I said. Now if you don’t mind, I was about to treat my intern and his friend to sushi. So if you’re not too busy, you’re welcome to join us.

Shido: ... I’m due back at the Wilton. See you on Wednesday.

>With that, he leaves.

Yuto: We better go. Everyone’s waiting.

>So, we leave.

>The sushi restaurant in Ginza. While everyone partied, Stark and Yuto spirited me and Diego to a stall.

Yuto: How much did you hear?

Joker: A lot. What was that about?

Yuto: As most people probably don’t know, but there was a time D-Four Productions almost ceased to exist.

Diego: (a bit surprised) Really? What happened?

Yuto: ... Calystegia.

Joker: The song by Kanamin Kitchen originally written by deceased idol, Yuko Osada?

Yuto: Yes.When they sang it at the Love Meets Bonds Festival, their popularity skyrocketed... And they totally forgot about the Dream Festival. Only about 250 people showed up.

Diego: That’s harsh.

Yuto: With everyone so focused on Kanamin Kitchen, who works for Takura Productions, sales for D-Four were dropping. If that kept going on, many idol groups would have to be let go. Sankishi included. Even Amuse, Lantis and Bandai Namco, the companies that birthed D-Four, would have severed their ties with them to avoid being dragged down. Then, they would have filed for bankruptcy and their only salvation is to be bought out. Mostly likely their competitor, Takura Productions, or an overseas company, like Apollon Media.

Joker: Why would Apollon be interested in the Dream Festival?

Yuto: I don’t know. And I don’t care to find out. Anyway, Masayoshi Shido, who was already a major and well believed politician and a big fan of Sankishi, bailed them out by raising their popularity back up by showing his support. As a result, the next Dream Festival... The same Dream Festival KUROFUNE and DearDream first appeared, was a huge success.

Diego: So you owe him?

Yuto: Well, that’s what Shido thought. After his heart was changed by yo- The Phantom Thieves, our deal with him was over... But D-Four itself wasn’t.

Stark: Yeah, you’re welcome.

You helped them, Mr. Stark?

Stark: I got curious about why Shido loved Sankishi. So I listened to their songs... And I truly understood why they are famous for the night of a million cheers... That, and I was curious how the Dream FES System worked. Or even where it came from. So, I bought D-Four Productions. Now they’re members of the Stark International Family and those other companies didn’t have to sever their ties.

Diego: That’s quite generous of you, Mr. Stark.

Stark: Yeah, well, I still want to know more about the System... Maybe another time. Anyway, I wouldn’t worry about Shido now. But just to be sure, we’ll keep an eye on him.

Yuto: And Ren, Diego, about what we just told you...

Diego: It’s our little secret.

Yuto: (happy) Thank you.

Joker: And than you for keeping D-Four open, Mr. Stark. It means a lot to Ryuji.

Stark: You can thank me by not calling me Mr. Stark. Just call me Tony.

Joker: I don’t think we can do that.

Stark: Why not?

For starters, we already know a CEO named Tony.

Stark: I see... But for the record, I’m a way better Tony than that skate punk.

>I smile a bit. And we rejoin the others.

Conversation

Camus: Good evening Joshua

Joshua: Good evening Your Excellency. I trust that yo are ready for Tuesday when the big event starts and we see whom will be worthy of attaining your services this time are you not?

Camus: I am and I am looking forward to seeing who will win it. Its a shame you will not be in the event but I understand why with your schedule

Joshua: Well thank you...I have a feeling though this wasn't the only reason you popped on by on this Monday

Camus: You're correct *holds up a pair of women's heels* These were left in our room. I know you don't wear these so should I assume its our rather androgynous friend in Yukari?

Joshua: You know...I never thought of him in that way before...I guess I should have since...well give me a second first

(Joshua gets up from his chair and takes the heels from Camus before walking out of his office door and making a decision only he could make in a situation like this)

Joshua: Mishakuji-Kun *Holds up the heels* I believe I have something that belongs to you!

*5 minutes later*

Yukari: I apologize for that Joshua and Camus. I was rushing to get changed from a mission and well...yeah! I do apologize for that and I will try to make sure it never happens again

Camus: Its alright it was an honest mistake. I was wondering why they were in there and I forgot that you do work for them "undercover" as it were. Just TRY to remember next time to at the very least leave a note for Joshua so he knows what is going on otherwise we run into this situation

Yukari: Understood sir. I can tell you that in the time since the two of you have been away Eiji has been helping out Fushimi with the paperwork and also they picked Nagi's brain for a strat on taking out JUNGLE for this past mission. It was his idea actually to have me dress that way actually

Joshua: Nagi...suggested that you crossdress for a mission? What else has this child been doing?

Yukari: Oh it worked out wonderfully Curtis-kun! He also suggested that Seri and I go out shopping for the clothes and that was a lot of fun too! In a way even Lieutenant Awashima wished you could have been there but I told her that wasn't going to be a good idea if for the only reason that I know you think I look good in anything

Joshua: *raises hand* GUILTY! Dress or a Tux you have turned many a head whenever we go out and I have to curse myself that my sword has to be left at the entrance. I swear you outdo yourself everytime

Yukari: True...but when you have to keep up with the Count of the Silk Palace that tends to be expected

Joshua: *Looks at Camus* You two been having fashion competitions since I've been away?

Camus: ...Kind of. What's been happening is for some reason certain members of HEAVENS have wanted to see who was the better dresser between Yukari and I since they know of the "unique" situation you have and the running joke is that the loser has to pay for the Winner's date. Well we never have to worry about that cos its always a tie!

Joshua: ...HOW?!

Yukari: Nagi stays out of judging and it always ends up a 3-3 tie

Joshua: Does Nagi stay out because he wants to be impartial or cos he knows he might have helped in picking out one of your outfits?

Yukari: Kind of both. He does help a little so he disqualifies himself but he also wants to remain impartial and he thinks if he voted he could be swayed in some way. We mutually respected this decision

Joshua: Ahh I see...know what sucks? Since I've been busy the past two Birthdays for myself I haven't been able to spend time with you on it...gonna see if I can get off this year though. To make up for that though I do need to spend some quality time with Boss Man and I hope you understand that Yukari.

Yukari: I do and I hope Camus will allow you to come see me on your birthday. 37 is it? I am somewhat shocked

Joshua: No kidding...here I thought you were the older one in the relationship. Well Gents I would love to chat some more but Camus needs to get ready for his big event and Yukari do me a favor and keep Sukuna out of trouble with Anna...don't need him getting her upset and then he becomes a charred kid you know?

Yukari: Agreed and I told him to mind himself around her...I also told him if I ever bring him around Camus that he has to behave himself and he has promised to do so. Camus good Luck with your event and Joshua its been wonderful talking to you...and I'll take these with me too *holds up the heels that Joshua had earlier*

Joshua: *laughs* Very good Yukari and Boss Man have fun this week! Take care you two!

Both: Good Night Joshua!

#Amisbro #K Project #uta no prince sama #CamusxJoshuaxYukari #yeah this is an interesting relationship #but Myu knows that Yukari will treat Joshua right #so he leaves them be #the idea for Yukari crossdressing is actually a K Verse thing of mine #its a tradition that every year since they started dating that Yukari would legit do that for Joshua #its an interesting story as to why #and since I have this event off I might catch up on some of the interesting intricacies of my selfships #I already was requested for the JoshuaxCamus Origin story #so you shall get that soon I promise #maybe today if you behave yourself

Party poppers

I guess that makes me exactly one month and a fashionable 5 minutes late, then?

Happy birthday, Shiraishi Kuranosuke!

ShiraYuki fluff, featuring Fuji and Yukari.

The sound of party poppers was starting to get stuck in his ears. As he made his way to his house, he was starting to think that one more party popper, and he would go crazy.

But he knew he couldn’t escape his fate.

He turned the doorknob, and as he walked through the door, the now all-too-familiar shouts of “Happy birthday!” burst forth. But there were no party poppers this time.

“Yukimura? Fuji? What are you doing here in Osaka?”

“Celebrating your birthday, silly! Why else would we be here?” Fuji said.

“Well, yeah. Of course.” Shiraishi put his school bag on a chair. “I hope you don’t mind if I change clothes?”

“Of course not,” Yukimura smiled. “It’s your house, after all.”

“I’ll be right back.” And as he said that, he briefly bowed and went upstairs.

“Oh, please forgive my big bro for being such a grump. He’s always like this on his birthday.”

“He is?”

“Yeah,” Yukari said. “His school and his friends always go all out to surprise him, but, like. At completely different times. Last year he had at least 5 different surprise parties. Needless to say, he was half dead by the time he got home.”

“That… sounds pretty rough. I mean, my school hasn’t thrown any surprise parties since Yagyuu caught me at a bad moment and ended up being forced to be absent from school for over a whole month.”

“What happened? No, never mind, I don’t want to know,” she said, aware of who was standing in front of her. I mean, what member of any high school tennis club didn’t know of the legendary Yukimura Seiichi?

“My club doesn’t do surprise parties anymore either. I wonder why?”

“I think it is because the last person that tried to surprise you ended up fishing cactus needles out of their behind for at least three weeks.”

“Oh, yeah.”

Yukari wondered just what people she had let into the house. She definitely didn’t hear this from her brother.

Lost in thoughts, Shiraishi unbuttoned his school shirt. Why did they come all the way to his house to celebrate his birthday? He had thought that for them, sending a card would have been sufficient.

But no, now they were here. Just when he thought his birthday was finally going to be over. He liked his birthday, he really did, and there were so many people who tried their hardest to make this day the best day of the year, but it always left him so exhausted at the end of the day.

Pulling off his pants, he looked back. He had been friends with them for three years now. It all started at that U-17 camp, when they shared a room. And an interest for plants. And not too much later, their phone numbers and email addresses.

With Yukimura it had started a little earlier. He remembered being invited over to Rikkai, where he walked through the rooftop garden and listened to Yukimura’s stories.

He looked at himself in the mirror. Unfortunately, his mirror was a little small, so he had to angle himself a bit to get a proper look at himself.

“What should I put on…?”

He wondered what Yukimura would like him to wear. They had visited each other’s houses pretty often, even though they lived pretty far apart. The four hour train ride was a sacrifice he was willing to make. But every time he got so nervous about what to wear, he ended up not changing at all.

Somehow, that was even more embarrassing.

Today was the day he’d put on some damn casual clothes for once, instead of his school uniform.

He picked his favourite green t-shirt, before pulling it off again and trying something different. Again.

“So you’re the famous Yukimura Seiichi big bro’s been talking about. I’ve been missing you every time you came over because of my Girl’s Day with my friends, but you’re awfully handsome, aren’t you.”

“Eh? He’s been talking about me?”

“Yeah, he’s been gushin’ about you every dinner. It gets annoying sometimes, but he’s having such a great time talking about you we can’t really stop him.”

“Hmm? You two had that kind of relationship?” Fuji chuckled.

“It’s not anything like that. We just hang out together pretty often.”

“On a weekly basis?” Yukari asked.

“Yes?”

“And you go to fancy places to hang out?”

“Well, I wouldn’t call them fancy but—”

“Oh please. You two are practically dating!”

“We’re… what?”

After a while, Shiraishi grudgingly gave up trying to find the best clothing combination he had, and went with the green t-shirt anyway.

“Big bro~~ You’re leaving your boyfriend waiting~!”

“H-He’s not…! Don’t say weird things, Yukari!” He hurried putting his pants on, just to prevent the situation from escalating.

“Saa~, you two do seem to be hanging out at each other’s houses a lot…”

“So what?!” A quick check-up on his hair, no strands out of place—

“What, you say? I just think it’s suspicious to get Yukimura on the phone when I’m calling you. Almost if you’re…”

Shiraishi’s face quickly turned red. As he rushed down the stairs, he shouted: “You’ve got it all wrong, there’s no way Yukimura and I are sleeping together…!”

He opened the living door room, only to be met with Fuji’s never-changing smug smile. “I didn’t say that.”

“Big bro, your face is on fire!” Yukari laughed.

“Well, who wouldn’t be embarrassed?!” Shiraishi hurriedly jumped to his defence. “…Wait. Where’s Yukimura?”

“Oh, he’s getting a glass of water.”

Shiraishi walked to the kitchen to speak to him. “Yukimura, you shouldn’t listen to those two, they’re just—”

“Teasing us, yes. Shiraishi, you should know better than to listen to what those two are saying.” Yukimura averted his eyes and took another sip from the glass of water.

Did he imagine it or was that the remnant of a blush on his cheeks?

“Should we get the presents out or should we leave you two be lovey-dovey over there?”

Yukimura choked on his water and burst out into coughing.

“Are you okay?” He placed a hand on Yukimura’s shoulder.

And in between coughs: “Let’s just get on with the presents, shall we.”

They returned to the main room just in time to see Yukari and Fuji sharing a high five.

“You two really enjoy this, don’t you.”

“Yep,” came in unison.

Realizing he still had his hand on Yukimura’s shoulder he inconspicuously tried to remove it.

“Don’t think I didn’t notice that,” Fuji said.

A sigh.

“Well then,” Yukari said, clapping her hands, “I think Fuji should start!”

“Ah, okay. Then, happy birthday, Shiraishi.” Fuji handed him a card with little cactuses on it.

“Thank you. Cactuses, huh…”

“Aren’t they cute?”

He looked inside. Hanging onto the card by a paperclip was a shopping receipt. “’Happy birthday, Ku-chan,’” he read. “Don’t call me Ku-chan!”

All other people present burst into laughing.

“Why not? I think it’s a cute name.”

His hand brought itself to his forehead. “Anyway, I’m continuing. ‘Because I know you like looking at yourself almost as much as looking at Y…’ Fuji. Do I really have to read this out loud.”

“Absolutely.”

He sighed once again, and put on his most dramatic voice. “Yukimura. Who you took care of faithfully for these many, many years. Who you cared for, made him laugh, brought him tea… Oh, I’m sure you didn’t mind. To Shiraishi Kuranosuke, I bequeath—”

Instinctively, he ducked. But nothing came.

“Go on,” Fuji urged him.

“I don’t feel like getting any boots to the head.”

“Oh no, it’s not what you think. Just read it.”

“We won’t continue ‘till you’ve finished it~”

His voice had reduced to a mumble. “’To Shiraishi Kuranosuke, I bequeath… a full-length mirror to be delivered to his house in a week due’?

Oh wow, Fuji, you shouldn’t have. Thank you!”

“Hey, don’t stop too early.”

“What more is on there?” Shiraishi frowned. “’Love, Fuji Syuusuke. p.s. and a boot to the head. ☺’”

And indeed, Yukari gleefully flung one of her boots at his head.

“Yukari, no!”

But it already was too late.

With an amazing sound of impact, it landed straight into his face.

“Guahh!”

As the boot started falling to the ground a snort could be heard.

“Your face! Your f…” Yukimura burst into laughing.

Restoring from that mighty blow was a rather difficult task. He could feel the place where the boot hit become red.

But hearing Yukimura laughing like that helped ease the pain a little.

“My sister also baked a cherry pie for you. I put it on the table.”

“Really? Thank you! Will you give my thanks to your sister?” he said, rubbing the spot where the boot collided.

“Of course.”

“I already gave you my presents this morning, big bro. You’re not getting any more from me.”

“I know, I know.”

“It’s my turn, huh. To be honest, when Fuji dragged me along to go to your house I wasn’t really prepared… So I brought one of my plants.”

“Liar,” Fuji whispered.

“It’s true. You kind of called me over on a whim.”

“Yukimura, is this hand-painted?” Shiraishi’s eyes fell from the flower to the pot, decorated with patterns of greens, whites and blues.

“It is. …Do you like it?” Yukimura asked tentatively.

“Yes! Somehow, looking at the patterns…” he traced his finger over a curl on the ceramic “…makes me feel a bit at ease.”

“I was wondering when you’d taken up pottery painting… You’d been working on this for weeks, from what I’ve seen.

“D-Did n-” Disagreeing would be a blatant lie. Agreeing would contradict his earlier statement. And thus, the child of god froze in his words, while his face burned up in embarrassment.

He laughed. “Thank you, Yukimura.”

“…You’re welcome." And in barely more than a breath, Yukimura managed to reclaim his composure.

“A narcissus flower, huh… Do you know the meaning of this flower?” He let his fingers go over the bright petals of the flowers.

“I told you, it was on a whim. But if I remember correctly…” Yukimura paused a second to think, “it means ‘respect’ in hanakotoba.”

“It does. But do you know of the Western meaning?”

Yukimura dug into his memory. “New… beginnings?”

“That’s right. But this smaller, more fragrant variety has an extra meaning.” He wondered if he should really tell him.

“That is?”

Well, it’s not like he could turn back. “It means ‘love’,” he said, eyeing Yukimura from the side.

“…Eh?”

“To be more exact, it means something around the lines of ‘love me, desire, affection returned’…”

Yukimura quickly turned red. “I told you it was on a whim…! I didn’t know! I just thought… this flower fit you.”

“I know, I know, don’t worry.” Though, if he unconsciously chose this flower… No, he said he didn’t know.

“How come you know so much about this flower?”

“Of course, the bulbs are poisonous.”

Yukimura put his fingers to the bridge of this nose. “I should have known.”

“Thank you, Yukimura. I’ll take good care of it. I really love—”

A sneeze.

“It’s got a pretty nice strong smell, doesn’t it.”

Yukimura’s fingers started covering not just his nose, but hiding his entire face. “What did you just say?”

“Huh? I said I really love the flower?”

“O-oh.” Yukimura breathed out. What did he think it was, anyway?

“Speaking of which, I brought a movie for us to watch,” Fuji said. And indeed, he took a DVD from his bag.

“Which movie?”

“Saa~”

The case was blank, it had no title, no images, nothing. Knowing Fuji, it could be anything from a horror movie to a sappy romancey one.

“Of course,” Fuji said, “I have my camera ready.”

“Why do you always take your camera with you when the three of us are doing something?”

“Because you’re my favourite people to tease, aside from Tezuka and Yuuta.”

“…How so?”

“It’s so much fun seeing you two all flustered when you’re usually a wall of smiles or unfazed. Besides, sometimes you two seem to need a push in the right direction.” Fuji spared a glance at Yukimura.

“A push?” Shiraishi asked. “What the heck would we need a push for?”

“Rather than that, let’s watch.” Yukari sat down on an empty chair, watching the scene unfold.

“Hey, answer me! Yukari, Fuji!”

Fuji simply smiled and put the DVD in.

“Yukimura? Do you know?” “No,” he said as he sat down on the couch.

That had to be a lie.

“Well, it doesn’t matter too much, I suppose.” In reflex, he flopped on the couch, bare inches from Yukimura.

“You’re pretty close, aren’t you?” Fuji said.

“Ah, uh, no this is—” Yukimura stammered, before the two went to sit at a proper distance.

“Don’t worry about that,” Fuji said, “I already have it on camera.”

“…What’s with that,” Shiraishi butted in.

“I’ve been watching you two, you know? Hoping to get some nice shots. But the thing is, every time I think something’s gonna happen, either of you backs out. Shiraishi reaching for Yukimura’s hand but holding back, Yukimura almost leaning against you…”

For a split second red faces met startled gazes before embarrassedly looking away.

“You’ve been stalking us, then?” Yukimura asked.

“I don’t stalk you any more than I stalk Yuuta,” Fuji smiled.

“Next time just ask, if you wanna come along,” Shiraishi said.

“But I want to see you two when you’re alone together. It just isn’t the same between you two if the three of us hang out.”

“I’m sorry, Fuji, for making you feel like that.” Shiraishi apologetically put his hand to the back of his head.

“No, it’s alright.” Fuji wistfully looked away, his hair fluttering to the sides in an invisible wind.

“…Can we make it up to you?”

Fuji opened his eyes.

“You’ll just have to show you’re fine showing affection to each other when I’m around.”

“What?”

“Wouldn’t this movie be the perfect opportunity to prove that? I’m just asking you guys to do what you couldn’t.”

“J-just wait a moment…”

“I’m not asking for much, really. Just allow me some good shots. Remember the things I said? Holding hands, cuddling. Maybe you could be bold and go in for a—”

“Fuji!” he shouted, panicked.

‘A kiss with Yukimura?! What was Fuji thinking?! Yukimura’s lips, on mine, hand cradling my cheek— No, what am I thinking?!’

He hid his blushing face behind his hand.

‘Damn…’

The feeling wouldn’t leave his mind.

He looked at Yukimura. Yukimura was looking away, his face equally red.

‘Though probably not for the same reason…’

“Just kidding, just kidding. But I stand by my point. In fact, I don’t plan on leaving until you prove it to me.”

“Now this.”

“I’ll give you all movie the time to work out your things.”

“I’ll get the popcorn!” Yukari shouted. “Guess there’ll be more than one thing to watch tonight,” she added with a wink.

“What has this all become…” Shiraishi sighed. “Just when I thought my birthday would be over…”

“Are you not glad that I’m here?” Yukimura asked, his face turning into a pout that was way too cute for someone called the ‘Child of God’.

“That’s not it! I’m… Well… I’m really glad you’re here. But this whole thing…” he gestured at the situation.

“I know. See our visit as an act of friendship on behalf of me and Fuji.”

‘Friendship, huh…’

“I know, and I’m glad you came. And hey, It could be worse. At least you’re not making your entrance in a giraffe costume on rollerblades.”

“That happened?”

“Yes.”

“What the hell,” Yukimura laughed.

“I know, right? Well, strange things happen in Shitenhoji anyway.”

‘And even stranger things with you.’

“What?” Yukimura gave him an incredulous stare.

He put a hand to his mouth. ‘Oh shit. Did I say that out loud?’

“A-anyway, movie?” he stuttered.

“Sure. Fuji?”

“On it.”

To his surprise, the movie was rather decent.

Even though he wasn’t too interested in the musical numbers, the characters were interesting and the plot sustained itself well.

He was just starting to get into the movie when he got distracted by an amiable warmth against his shoulder.

“Y-Y-Yukimura…?”

His shoulders tensed up and his heart beat went out of control when he looked at the figure of Yukimura, leaning against him.

“Will you relax? It’s less comfortable when your shoulders are tense.”

Now tinged by a soft blush, he tried his best to lower them again.

“Yukimura,” he said, unable to keep his eyes off his shape, “I don’t want you to feel forced to do this. I know what Fuji said about leaving but—”

Yukimura smiled. “I’m not forcing myself. I just really felt like allowing myself to stop holding back and start doing things I’ve been wanting to do for a long time.”

Yukimura snuggled closer, and he couldn’t help but let his face burn up.

‘Start doing what you’ve wanted to do, huh…’

“…Is it really okay?”

“Would I still be here if it wasn’t?”

He smiled in relief, before letting his own head lean against Yukimura’s. Maybe he should stop holding back, too.

He let a finger run over the back of Yukimura’s hand, looking closely for any signs of discomfort.

When Yukimura affectionately rubbed his cheek against his shoulder, he knew it was alright.

Taking Yukimura’s hand in his own, he gently lifted Yukimura’s palm.

That warmth…

Softly he stroked the backside of Yukimura’s fingers with his thumb, relishing the feeling bubbling up in his stomach. He happily continued fondling Yukimura’s hand, playing with Yukimura’s fingers in his own. Until he finally settled for intertwining them with his, letting himself melt into Yukimura’s touch.

…he wouldn’t mind drowning in it for all eternity.

When did he fall asleep? Wrapped in a comfortable warmth, his cheek being gently stroked, he almost didn’t want to open his eyes.

“…But what if he doesn’t? I don’t want this to break…” Yukimura said.

But he had no choice than to wake up.

“You guys can’t be like this forever. Someone’s got to make a move,” Fuji said.

He groaned, before finally opening his eyes. ‘Oh, the movie already ended… Wait, why was everything in such a weird angle…?’

“It seems our sleeping beauty has finally woken up. Did you have fun, sleeping in Yukimura’s lap?” Fuji said.

“I… What?!” He startled upright.

Sure enough, when he looked at it, those were Yukimura’s legs. And sure enough, the hand that was now dropping to Yukimura’s lap couldn’t have been any other hand than Yukimura’s.

“It’s a shame you had to wake up so soon~ You were so cute, too, huddling against Yukimura, mumbling his name…”

“Are you kidding me?! I-I didn’t…!”

“You did,” came from Yukimura. “It was absolutely adorable.”

“Don’t worry about credibility,” Fuji said, holding up his camera. “I have all pictures.”

He hid his scarlet face behind his hands in embarrassment.

“How did it end up like this…”

“Isn’t it okay?” Fuji asked. “You did seem to enjoy it.”

“I wouldn’t mind doing it again, if you want to,” Yukimura said. “I also enjoyed it, after all.”

“You did?”

“Of course. Your sleeping face is too precious,” Yukimura laughed.

He let out a sigh, trying to calm his rapidly beating heart. He couldn’t deny that it had been heavenly, that warmth, but he still couldn’t believe Yukimura was really…

“So, what about that final present?” Fuji asked Yukimura.

“Final present?” he asked.

“Ah, uh, yes. I actually had a last present prepared, but…” Yukimura sighed. “I wasn’t really sure whether to give it to you.”

“Why would you hesitate?”

“…Because I’m not sure whether you’d like it or not.”

“I’m sure it’ll be fine. I mean, it’s from you, after all.”

Yukimura moved from his sitting place, moving closer, moving… to sit right in front of him.

“Is it okay if I sit like this?” Yukimura asked, shifting to a slightly more comfortable position over Shiraishi’s legs.

“I, u-uh, ah, s-sure.” Yukimura’s blue eyes locked with his, leaving him nigh unable to form coherent sentences.

Yukimura moved closer, placing a hand on Shiraishi’s cheek. “You see, I…”

Those sincere eyes of Yukimura were drawing him in, closer with every passing breath. They seemed to engulf the world around him, until it felt like Yukimura’s very presence connected to something deep in his heart.

Yukimura closed his eyes.

“I…” What came from Yukimura’s mouth was barely a whisper. “…I lo-”

Their lips connected.

In that single moment, that kiss brought forth a wave of heated tingles, moving like sparks from his lips to his cheeks, warming his shoulders and chest before finally settling in his stomach, swirling around like falling stars.

Even though it felt like an eternity, almost immediately Yukimura startled away.

“…Oops. Guess I can’t back out anymore, then.”

He was still left speechless from the kiss.

“I love you. I’ve been wanting to tell you for a while, but… Well, I was afraid you wouldn’t like me back, and I didn’t want to lose what we have. It took me a little too long to realize I liked spending time with you a little more than just a friendship would warrant. And it took me way too long to learn I had fallen for you.

I’m not asking you to immediately accept my feelings, as I know you might not feel the same way. But I want you to at least give them some time.

I know I’m kind of taking a risk here, as it’s your birthday and all, but…

I want to go out with you, even though that wouldn’t change our current situation a lot. I want to stay by your side. I love you, Shiraishi.”

For a moment, he was stunned, processing all the things that happened within the last two minutes.

Yukimura was on the verge of moving away. “I understand if you want to think this over, but I just had to let this—”

He pulled him into a hug.

“Shi…raishi…?”

“I love you too,” he finally managed to say, letting his head rest on Yukimura’s shoulder. “I didn’t want to rush you into anything you wouldn’t want. Heck, I didn’t even know whether you returned my feelings or not! And I held back, and held back more… And it’s been so hard…”

Before he knew it, tears started rolling down his cheeks, and his voice trembled.

“There were so many nights I wanted to call you and let my heart out, but I knew I’d be too afraid. Do you remember that awkward phone call at 1 AM, right before Christmas last year? I had been so close to giving in that time, that I just wanted to hear your voice saying it’d be alright. In the end, the call never went anywhere, did it?

I never thought that maybe, just maybe, you’d feel the same.”

He laughed. All of this seemed just like a dream.

“Yukimura… Thank you. This is the best birthday present ever. I love you, too.”

A warm wetness made his shoulder moist.

“Are you crying, Yukimura?”

They pulled away from the hug, and indeed he saw Yukimura’s tear-streaked smile.

“I never thought I’d get sentimental over something like this,” Yukimura laughed, wiping his tears.

“Have we really been pining after each other for years, never realizing how we felt about each other?”

“It seems so… Guess we still have much to learn on the area of love.”

“Let’s take our time and master all of it, shall we?”

“You really are a dork sometimes,” Another chuckle from Yukimura. “But I guess you’re my dork now.”

“Ah~, ecstasy~!”

They both laughed.

Even as the evening came to an end, and the moon became the only light outside save for some sparse city lights, they talked. About what they felt, the near-slipups of the past, and some more silly proclamations of love.

He had never had a happier birthday in his entire life.

Retail Hell

Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh Chapter: 2/? Rating: M (Subject to change) Warnings: Swearing, perving and aged up characters Pairing: Seto Kaiba/OFC Summary: Seto Kaiba has no choice but to shop for himself when his personal stylist ends up sick and ends up in a store named Dapper Gentleman Boutique. He’s got the hots for the sales assistant. From Rose’s POV

Notes: A purely self indulgent piece of crap with added storyline!

AO3 Link Ko-Fi Link

“No.”

“Come on, please?”

“I said no.”

“Just one date.”

“The answer is still no.”

“How about you duel me and if I win I get your number?”

“How many times do I have to tell you that I don’t duel?”

Please God, if you’re out there, use your smiting powers on Rex Raptor.

Rose inwardly growled, keeping her composure on the outside to ensure her professionalism stayed in check. Though really, if she could set this serial pest on fire, she would, gladly.

And possibly dance around his grave as they lowered his charred remains in.

Yep, she would totally do that.

Now he was pouting at her. Disgusting.

“Why the hell do you keep on rejecting me?!”

“Why do you keep on asking me to go on a date with you if you know I will continue rejecting you?” Just fuck off you little twerp!

His eye twitched.

“Just give me a chance! One!” No, don’t beg at me you creep. And my eyes are up here, by the way.

Unbeknownst to the two, the front door chimed and the store suddenly became void of staff, except for her.

“Not gonna do it Raptor.” Don’t cross your arms over your chest, he’ll just keep staring at them. No, arms to the sides, that’s it, great. “And tell that Underwood friend of yours to knock it off as well, I don’t appreciate either of you coming in here and- fuck me sideways…” Is that Seto and Mokuba Kaiba? In here?

“Hey! What are you looking a- Oh…” At least she could get away with swearing in English in front of this ingrate.

Wait, where did everyone else go?

Hang on, isn’t Seto Kaiba notoriously the hardest person to shop for?

Fuck.

“I just remembered I have somewhere to be… Uh… Bye Rosa.”

It’s Rose you dickhead.

Maybe she would just have to thank the brothers later for inadvertently ridding her of her very own serial nuisance. That’s if her pride could take it.

The floor staff had bailed on her when they saw their chance, peeking out from the tea room door. Those bastards, how dare they run off knowing full well I was distracted!

She could hear the younger Kaiba loudly describing the suits in the Alternative section and she sighed inwardly. Time to straighten up, saunter over and be the most professional sales assistant in this joint!

“Look Seto, this one from a brand called Antons has people fucking on it.”

She was somehow able to skillfully choke down loud ‘HA’ just begging to be released into the world. If that didn’t make her like the kid, nothing else will.

“I think we’re in the wrong section Seto…”

Poor Seto Kaiba was covering his brother’s eyes to shield them from her favourite shirts, how cute.

“Can I help you today sirs?”

He was staring at the shirts, his eyes flickering over each design with held back curiosity. How did she know? She works in retail damnit, of course she knows when people are ever so slightly inquisitive about her favourite Antons shirts. Coitus is a beautiful thing and should be celebrated, on shirts, on pants, maybe Seto Kaiba’s pants on her bedroom floor.

Shut up Rose, just shut up.

He’s really ridiculously good looking, get over it.

“Sirs, is there anything I can help you with?”

Even if it were just momentarily, his cobalt blue eyes showed a minuscule bit of amusement.

The man has a sense of humour, does that mean he is not the customer from hell?

Her theory was quickly thwarted when his eyes made their way over to her, silently appraising her presence.

Like what you see? Maybe you should take a picture, it would last longer.

She had to avoid rolling her eyes when his eyes lingered perhaps a moment too long on her chest.

Making a good first impression is paramount to great customer service!

She could actually hear the store owner screech that in her all too happy high pitched voice. She wanted to vomit.

“I’m fine.” So now you’re glaring at me? I’m just trying to do my job here, jackass!

And yet his gaze still travelled up and down her body. Wonder if he's undressing me with his ey- No, don't make me get out the spray bottle! Bad Rose! Very bad!

She raised her eyebrow, hiding the fact that she was enjoying herself.

“We need suits, please. Big brother’s stylist is sick so we don’t know what we need to get.” Oh such a good kid, his older brother could definitely learn from him.

Ha, doubt that would ever happen.

“Oh?” She was most certainly intrigued, that was no lie. So they don’t shop for themselves.

Wait…

They don’t go clothes shopping themselves…

Oh god… keep the professionalism in check! Calm down, straight face! No laughing.

Fight that bubble Rose, it is totally not hilarious that the Kaiba brothers can’t dress themselves. Stop thinking about it.

But that also means she gets to undress Seto Kaiba. Yes! God it’s great to work in retail.

“Is there an occasion or is this business?” Yes, good job! High fives all around… Nobody? Fine.

“My twenty-first.” Monotonous and all, good on ya mate. Ten out of ten for expressionism.

Stop sassing Seto Kaiba, you might stop monologuing and end up word vomiting you stupid woman!

“And I am supposing we are wanting to steer clear from our exotic collection?” The three of them looked back towards her favourite printed shirts, an amused smirk formed on her lips when she swore that she could see the older Kaiba almost smile at the clothing. He was totally digging it.

“Yes please.” Adorable little Mokuba answered again. She just wanted to ruffle his fuzzy black hair, though Seto Kaiba may snap her hands off if she tried. That unruly teen was most certainly this CEO’s kryptonite.

She smiled and she was definitely certain that Seto Kaiba was checking her out as he watched her lips intently.

Shameless, I like it.

Motioning behind her, she spoke. “If you would just follow me, I will show you some more appropriate attire. Though to be honest, I do quite love our Antons collection. The store is based in Melbourne and we have an exclusive deal with them. We are the only place in Japan that stocks their products. It’s all so exciting!”

“This is what your stylist would choose?”

“Yes.”

“Are you certain this is what they would choose?”

“Of course.”

“In a suit? For your twenty-first?”

“Did I stutter?”

Your stylist is shit, your attitude is shit, but my job is not shit so I would prefer to keep it and be nice to the fact that you have just chosen the worst, nineteen-eighties anchorman piece of garbage suit I have ever seen in my life.

Where the hell did he even find it? And a matching one for his brother?

“Seto…” Even the kid disapproves.

Just looking at the grey plaid mess before her was making her feel sick. She couldn’t do it, no way.

“I’m going to kill myself.” She whispered in English. Seto Kaiba totally heard that...

Professionalism be damned, she now had the insane desire to make him look like the Earth was his mistress.

No, she was going to make him look so dapper that he would be using the Earth as a condom to fuck something bigger.

Like her tits.

Rose, enough. You’ll start salivating.

“You know what, no. Get those abominations off and I will be back momentarily with something that isn’t from the nineteen-eighties.”

Her inner Fashion Design Major was showing, she loved being able to put her night classes to good use.

She walked away, completely flattered when she heard the younger Kaiba comment on her ass only to be half-heartedly scolded by his brother.

Just suave mate, very suave.

Yes. Yeeeeeees. I am a genius! All need to bow down to Rose Brikmore! Undisputed Queen of Fashion.

“Damn.” Approved Mokuba. He just looked so handsome and dapper in the navy Tom Ford she picked out for him. And Seto Kaiba…

“Damn…” She smirked to avoid licking her lips at the sight.

The dark silver Ermenegildo Zegna suit she matched with a cobalt blue tie made Seto Kaiba look absolutely delectable.

Stop undressing him with your eyes.

Yes, fairy godmother of common sense.

Their stylist could not possibly missed such beautiful pieces of clothing for the two men. The men could do so much better.

“Permission to be painfully honest?” Even if he said no, she was going to voice her opinion.

“Fine.” Oh, sweet.

“Your stylist is a fucking no talent wanker and needs to be fired.” He totally understood her English, she could see it in his eyes. He was impressed.

“Uh Seto, what’s a wanker?” Oh poor, innocent Mokuba.

Nuh uh, the real Australian is answering here!

“Australian slang for loser, moron, idiot, douchebag. You get the gist.” Oh that felt good.

“Right… So are we getting these ones Seto?”

She heard right, the Kaiba brothers approved of her choices for them. She could see all that commission money flowing into her bank account in the back of her mind.

Take that staff hiding in the tea room!

“I must admit.” She said whilst neatly hanging the suits and their accessories in their own bags, “I quite enjoyed this little encounter today.” She zipped up the suit bags and handed them over to the sparkly eyed Mokuba. “Perhaps we could do this again sometime.”

A flustered Seto Kaiba responded by pulling out a card, hastily writing on it and shoving it into her hand before escaping the store. Mokuba quickly followed him after saying a polite ‘thank you’.

What the hell was that?

What the hell is- Oh… Oh god…

“Did he just…?” Now the other employees are out, and hovering over her shoulder no less.

“Did Seto Kaiba just give you his number?”

“That must be his number, what else would it be?”

“Maybe it’s a prank.”

“Seto Kaiba doesn’t pull pranks, Yukari.”

“Shut up Steve.”

“No you shut up Celeste!”

“How about you shut up Meika?”

Rose folded the card and shoved it down her cleavage, all the while staring out the door in shock.

What. The. Actual. Fuck?
