Pairing: Shuuya Kano X afab!Reader

Sypnosis: MC and the whole Mekakushi Dan enjoyed the summer on the beach, where the mischievous 3rd member decided to tease MC.

Word Count: 1,152

"It's hot" You placed an arm above your head as you looked at the sun, sweat kept appearing on your whole face. "Is it?" An orange-haired female sat beside you on the bench, she looked at you in ecstatic. "Yes, it's too much" You replied as you gulped some saliva. "Then, how about we go to the beach?" Momo inquired, happiness filled in her tone. "Sounds good, Momo" You smiled at her as you removed your arm from above your face. "Let's go inform the others then!" She let out a giggle as she stood up from her seat, grabbed your hand then took a run toward your home. You giggled alongside her.

After preparing some needed stuff for the beach, you, Momo, and Shintaro made your way outside the house. Everyone agreed on having fun at the beach since the season is perfect for this. Summer, though it's hot, everyone still enjoys the season. "Hurry up, oniichan!" Momo called on her brother as she opened the door. "Yeah, yeah" He grumbled as he walked towards the entrance with his hand rubbing the back of his head, expression probably annoyed. "Here they are" Once Momo opened the door, the whole Mekakushi Dan, and Ayano, were in front of the house. "Hi!" Ayano greeted as she flashed each of you a smile, hands behind her back. "Let's get going," Kido told them with her hands inside her pocket. "Yes!" You nodded at her then happily exited the house.

The whole Dan, with you and Ayano in addition, were walking towards a local beach resort nearby the city. While on the journey, you would probably notice that Kido and Kano fight more often. With Kano teasing and pissing Kido off, which will be beaten up later. Seto and Mary are having a normal talk. Ene, in her human form, and Momo starts to annoy Shintaro. Ayano trying to calm the short-tempered Shintaro. While Konoha and Hibiya don't seem to care much. You also heard Hibiya keep murmuring about 'this is such a drag' and 'they are so immature'. You just chuckled at your friends' unusual behavior, you were also impressed that they all get along together, but not that much.

"Wow! It's beautiful!" Momo and Ene said in awe simultaneously. "It sure is" Ayano seconded. The wind passed by your group as your hair flew away with the wind. "Come on, [Name]-chan. Let's go!" A certain blonde grabbed your wrist and then pulled you towards the beach. "W-w-wait a minute! Kano!" You yelled at him, face flushed because he was holding you. He just looked back at you and flashed you a grin, you can't help but smile back. The others followed the two of you as they settled the things at a nearby hut. They quickly changed into swimwear but still at the hut. "Kano, I'm still not in swimwear" You crossed your arms and then gave him a glare. "Oh come on [Name]-chan. Join me in the water" The male waved at you. He was in the water already, while you were watching him from afar. You are still in your [f/c] t-shirt and black denim, and you don't want to wet your clothes, especially your shoes. "I'll go change, and you Mr. Deceive, you come with me," You told him then went to the hut. "Okay~" He said in a sing-song tune then obeyed your orders.

Momo, Ene, and Ayano are in two pieces, while Marry and Kido are in swimsuits. They don't like to show much skin, and that's why Kano is teasing them when you and him go back to the hut to get your swimwear. Hibiya, Seto, Shintaro and Konoha are already in their swim shorts. Ayano successfully convinced the stubborn Shintaro to change. Now, only you and the cheerful #3 of the Dan are left who is still not in swimwear. "[Name]-chan~ What kind of bikini you've got?" Kano crept behind you while you were searching for your swimwear. "G-g-ghie! Don't do that again, Kano!" You scolded him when you suddenly felt a shiver run down your spine after Kano's statement, your face turned blue for a while as your shoulders started tingling. You were currently holding a [f/c] two-piece. "Oh~? So [Name]-chan isn't shy enough to show much skin?" He placed his index finger and thumb on his chin, examining the two pieces in your hands. "Unlike Marry and Kido" He laughed, but then he was kicked on his left rib. You looked at him and he was already lying on the floor, hands on his injured rib while his face showed agony. You felt like laughing but suppressed it, you looked to your right and saw an angry Kido. Her eyes are burning with fire. "U-uh..." You sweat-dropped.

After you change, you exit the shower room then see that they are already playing in the water. Speaking of water, when you exited the shower room a moment later, a bucket of water fell straight on your head, wetting your whole body in the process. "Iya~ A perfect way to wet you first before you go swimming~" You heard the prankster's voice filled with mischief. You were already shaking in anger, clenching the empty bucket on your head, you threw it at Kano. "Oops! That was close" He grinned when he evaded the incoming bucket and then went away, running. "Get back here you brat!" You yelled in anger, trying to chase the mischievous cat-boy. "Hahaha! I'm older than you, as you can see!" He laughed then went to the water. You gritted your teeth and then followed him there.

The two of you were chasing on the beach, splashing each other water and laughing. "Gotcha!" You tackled the blonde boy on the shallow water, your arms around his waist. "Hahaha!" Kano laughed and then looked at you. You sat on his stomach then gathered some sand in your hand, you smirked at him. "Revenge time~" You cheered then covered his face with sand. After your fun, in which you filled his whole face with sand, he stood up with made you fall on your rear. He wiped away the sand on his face and then looked at you. He grinned at you and you smiled cheekily at him. "Do you like summer, [Name]-chan?" He asked you then helped you stand up. "Yes. Especially when I'm with my friends" You replied then wiped some sand that was left on his cheeks. "Especially when I'm with you~" You took a peck on his lips which caught him off guard. "Let's join the others, shall we?" You offered your hand to him. "Sure" He grabbed your hand and then ran to where the others were. Special summer love on the beach.

[favoringeyes]

hi lena!! :DD can i ask do the likes / dislikes of kagepro characters have any particular significance? whats your personal opinions?

HII SEBASTIAN

this gets really really long and i didnt even talk about any of the fun likes/dislikes for any of the characters im sorry u dont have to read all of this 😭😭😭

HII SEBASTIAN this is such a great question oh my god thank u. okay not for all of them but in some cases yes. i'll start with the ones that DO matter though. shintaro looooves cola it's like his lifeblood, he has this scene where he drinks it with konoha and he says smthn along the lines of "praise be to soda" and konoha's like "erm what." but in this scene shintaro's introduced konoha to cola for the first time and it's basically a turning point in their friendship it's really sweet. it's actually a parallel to when haruka introduced shintaro to cola for the first time ever and that's when their friendship started and augh augh augh it makes me so crazy. momo (shintaro's sister) also really loves soda, except her favorite is red bean soup flavor. uhmm okay next seto LOVES animals and nature in general, this is probably due to his eye ability, since he can communicate with animals and nature is usually far away from cities and such so not a lot of people to accidentally read the mind of. before he had gained his eye ability he had a stray dog named hanako, who he thought understood him as he understood her. hanako is the one he got stuck into the daze with when bullies from his orphanage threw her into a river and he drowned attempting to save her. later on he has a pet hamster named hanao who he talks to and stuff. in general he'll just talk to random birds at times, he's often showed with them actually. he also met marry (someone super important to him) in a forest so that probably contributes to it as well! okay well idk if this counts but i say it does so it does uh the color red for ayano! red has huge significance in kagepro, as it's the color someone's eyes will turn into when their abilities are activated. the mekakushi dan was started by ayano when she put on a red scarf in front of her siblings and exclaimed that red is the color of a hero, and theyre just like secret agents. that's why ayano has her scarf on most of the time if not all of the time! i like to think ayano gained an affinity for the color in general bc she told shintaro he looked good in red (hence why he has his silly little jacket) and it brings a sense of comfort. a neat detail in mekakucity actors is in the last episode after she had been free from the daze, she's shown with an outfit without her scarf, symbolizing how she's not the tragic "heroine" of the story anymore, how she doesnt have to fight alone anymore. makes me emotional. kido really likes music, mainly bc her bio mom loved music as well, i cant remember quite right but she might have been a musician as well? but basically in her younger years before her mom passed away, she was raised to love music. it's quite significant to her design as well, on her hoodie she has like a little mp3 player button on the front. one of her favorite bands is radiohead LMFAO. OH takane and video games! due to her disability growing up she was often isolated since she was so tired all the time and didnt like having to deal with randomly falling asleep in front of her peers, who usually thought of her as weird and stand-offish. so as a way to cope she turned to video games and actually got quite good as she grew up. by highschool she's well known in the gamer world as "flashing dancer ene" and is 2nd in a national tournament for some zombie game i think. in manga route 2, videogames is the main way she bonds with haruka while they are in the hospital together. actually a video game she, haruka, and their teacher made brought the entire yuukei quartet together technically. shintaro and haruka also played online games together basically every night and thts how they got so close. so in my personal opinion those r probably the ones that hold the most significance for certain characters… i would talk abt fun ones but im hitting the word limit sorry SOB

This A.M.V. is currently technically incomplete; I’m aiming to see if I can add in a few finishing touches; (as well as sub-titles!) However, as this has already taken me 1 hour and 45 min or so of editing, along with another full hour of simply previewing; (And this was made during in-betweens of a large storm near my area on top of that!!); Those finishing touches may have to wait just a bit longer, so hopefully this pre-view can suffice!!

{Lyrics}

I walk home alone in this transparent city.

In the depths of these tearful eyes, my vision blurs, and I can’t see.

Within this scenery that never changes, I found something precious to me.

I don’t want to lose it, so I’ll carry it with me forever.

Ever since I met you, so many radiant and gentle words have piled up over TIME.

They’ll always be here.

I look back on today, that was full of smiles and dreams, while holding your hand.

Yeah, I fell down and cried yesterday, even if it’s embarrassing to remember…

This “LIGHT” is so small, so blurry.

Yet it SHINES so softly, so KINDLY.

IT’S my TREASURE.

MEKAKU CITY ACTORS

Mekaku city actors es un anime adaptado a partir de la saga de Kagerou project que es una serie de novelas ligeras escritas por el japonés Jin, también conocido como Shizen no Teki-P, este proyecto también tuvo adaptación a manga y una serie de canciones cantadas por la vocaloid IA.

La historia trata acerca del Mekakushi Dan, un grupo de jóvenes que comparten poderes sobrenaturales, denominados "habilidades oculares".

Estos poderes los obtuvieron después de haber sufrido un accidente de alto grado que ocasionara su casi muerte, todo exactamente un 15 de agosto, gracias a sus fervientes deseos personales fueron capaces de sobrevivir, pero ahora, poseyendo unos ojos rojos símbolo de sus poderes.

Esta historia tiene varios finales los cuales no se muestran en el anime como tal, pero si se nos dan vistazos ligeros, esto debido a que los jóvenes se encuentran atrapados en un especie de bucle sin fin en busca de su final feliz, un final que una serpiente engañosa no dejara que posean.

Por el momento este anime no es muy conocido, ya que puede parecer un poco enredado por el tema del bucle, o de plano es por que las personas no han escuchado de el.

Este proyecto en general toca temas delicados como el asesinato, el suicidio, muerte, problemas de depresión, entre otros, por lo que es recomendado a mayores de edad, o en su defecto a personas de mente abierta.

Author’s notes: Go read the first part so that this one makes sense ✨✨✨

The next day started way too troublesome for Kido...

Unknowingly to the rest of the family, Seto had volunteered to take care of one of the dogs he walked, among others, four days a week, and it happened to be the great dane of their street neighbour. Now, she wasn’t aggressive nor destructive by any means, but she had been awfully spoiled throughout her life, resulting in often perceiving herself as a puppy and following others around with no accurate idea about just how big she was.

So when Kido permited herself to sleep late on her free day only to wake up and walk into a half trashed living room and kitchen with a giant dog resting its face on Mary’s lap on the couch, while Seto tried to clean what he could... She was less than thrilled.

“What the...?”

At the sound of her voice, the two of them turned their heads alarmed, and the giant dog raised her head with a happy tail wag before sprinting towards the source of sound, sending everyone into a panic as the green haired women was tumbled into the ground.

“Ooouff” Kido let out in a grumble whilst processing that there was a pony-sized dog licking her face. “Who the hell is this?!”

Mary and Seto shared a look. They weren’t expecting her to be up quite yet, as they weren’t informed on her later plans. Kano had laughed his way off to work at the whole situation earlier, leaving them on their own.

Mary had done an alright job calming the creature down for the time that Seto was gone and off to recover some of her toys after having used his powers to figured out what was making the dog so anxiously clingy, but the indoors space they lived in was not in their favor.

“Umm... Kido meet Aki, Aki that’s Kido you’re on now” the now formally introduced Aki barked at the mention of her name, making Kido wince at the sound.

“Do we have a dog now or something?”

“Not a dog, Aki, the dog! and it´s only for the day, I promise!” Seto went on to say in his defence as he continues to explain the whole situation to his annoyed sister.

“Okay, so what is done is done, but please refrain yourself from taking this type of responsibilities without consulting us first. We live in a shared space, you know? Is that clear?”

“Yes, ma’am!!!” Said Seto along with Mary, even though the question wasn’t directed at her.

“And I want all of this mess taken care of when I come back” she went to add making her way to the kitchen for something to drink.

“Hmm? Back? You’re going out today?” Kousuke couldn’t think of any errand that needed to be dealt with for the day, and he knows for a fact that she prefers to tend to them on the way on or back from her job, not on her free days.

Kido hums affirmatively as she drinks from her just poured glass of milk, while using her other hand to keep Aki from standing on her two back legs.

“I’m meeting with a coworker” her cheeks turn a little pink at the thought of this evening, and the memory of your text messages the day before.

Meanwhile both of her roommates wear equally surprised expressions as a result of her statement.

“Is it work related?”

“That’s none of your business” she says sharply for him to stop with his inquiry.

“Ah, sorry, just curious...” but he has his answer, or so he thinks so, just from reading her body language, no stealing power needed (not that he’ll ever use it on her anyways), and then by her response to Mary’s next statement.

“Does this means you have other friends now, Kido-san? Oooh I’m so glad! I can’t wait to meet them someday!!” she said gleefully, with Seto following short after her with a quiet laugh to himself at the teen’s obliviousness and the sight of her tense sister turning around to cover her obviously flustered form while muttering something about them getting back to cleaning, and pushing Aki away from the meat she was getting out of the freezer.

What a strange morning...

###

Kido curses the heavens for the sequent of events that followed short after and close to the meeting time with you.

Turns out, Seto’s boss needed him to cover for a colleague who called in sick, and with being so close to getting a raise, he really couldn’t say no without risking it, and they really needed the money.

So his sorry ass went to Kido begging her to take the dog he was sitting with her, as he feared the inevitable poor outcome that would follow if they even dared to leave her alone with Mary for several hours.

The Medusa taking the dog outside for a walk wasn’t an option either seeming as Aki weighted more than her and could easily dragged her down with its force.

Everyone else they knew, including the gang, was unavailable, making Kido his last resort.

Seto had to promise taking over her house chores for two weeks before she finally agreed (she would’ve end up helping him either way but she wanted him to pay for his irresponsibility).

Nevertheless, this sucks she thinks to herself as she hurriedly walks with a happy Aki in tow.

She was late. Putting the leash on the damn dog was more trouble that she expected, and she couldn’t stop worrying about the implications of bringing her over. What if you were put off by it? Could you be allergic to dog’s fur? She has caught you looking sweetly at some of the pets they take for walks on the park where you both eat, so at least she’s convincedthat you don’t hate them, but still...

Speaking of which, she caught sight of you sitting at the bench you both have agreed to meet over when arriving at the said park. You were staring at your phone.

Damn it, a message would have been nice on my part. She´s probaly waiting for one on why am I this late.

In reality, you were engrossed on a series and thus didn’t notice the arrival of the one you were expecting until you see, out of the corner of your eye, a white blurred giant with black spots approaching you excitedly. Surprisingly so, your focus stare meets a very cute dog attached to a nervous looking Kido.

“Hi! Soo uhmm... There’s been a slight last minute inconvenience that made its way into my afternoon”

“I can see that” you chuckle while kneeling down so you can pet the dog that’s been begging for your attention since its arrival “So who’s the cutie you brought with you?” You scratch her stomach as she rolls down to give you more room to do so, making a mess on the leash around her.

She’s not allergic, what a relief.

“This is Aki, one of my brothers pushed her onto me unexpectedly today, I... hope you don’t mind”

“Are you kidding me? She’s such a pretty girl! And I’ve never been known to turn down an opportunity to spend time with a dog if I can help it” you wink playfully at her.

Kido let goes a breath she didn’t know she was holding, but goes on to say:

“Still, we won’t be able to enter the place we talked about with her around...”

You smile at her and get up to her level, causing Aki to let out a whine of protest as you shift your attention from her “Not a problem, I can enter and order for us to take outside, don’t worry about it”

She nods and matches your own smile, thankful for this outcome.

“Shall we go then?” you said as Aki gets on her paws, ready for the exercise, completely convinced you were talking to her. You both laugh soundly at this and the fact that she was still a tangled mess on her leash, which you both helped her with so she could be more comfortable.

And soon, you were gone on your way with your new plan without any more issues.

The weather was nice, so were the cool drinks, the company, and even Aki! who at some point tired herself out and was acting on her best behaviour, as well as a focus point you could both use at certain times in your conversations.

Kido ended up sharing a lot about herself that she hadn’t previously done so. It started out with her telling you about this morning, then about Mary, and then about how she had met her brothers after tragedy struck her original family.

You were surprised at it all, but not once showed any judgment, you understood that this wasn’t light stuff one would share with a stranger, and were happy that at this point she didn’t consider you one. Even then, you could tell there was a deeper connection tying them all but didn’t press her to speak about it.

She left out the part about the snakes, the powers, the reason why Mary was just a teenager even after all these years, and the more gory stuff, obviously. It wasn’t the time, and you wouldn’t have believed any of it anyways.

Nonetheless, you were sad when it was finally time to part from both Kido and Aki, but felt joy over the fact that you came out immensely more closer from it than the day before.

And wouldn’t you know your new friend was feeling the same way, even when forced not to show it as she got herself home again and faced her family, who were all curious about this “coworker” of hers.

###

That little encounter was the first of many, as you found each other enjoying the other’s company a little more every time, especially because you were outside of work.

The fact that you worked at the same place and on the same job was often both good and bad. On one hand, a big part of why you were good friends today was precisely because you knew each other thanks to your shared space, but most importantly you could also relate and support one another on the worst of days this hellhole had to offer. On the other hand though, because you were all constantly under so much stress every day, it was difficult to disconnect from it at times and be present with others... Which in turn, can sometimes overcome the good parts of the sharing suffering experience, since more often than not you just don’t seek out for the help and understanding that your pals can provide and also receive.

Today, Kido finds herself doing extra hours, same as you, and bearing a massive headache from the back-to-back that she just dealt with moments ago.

You two haven’t spoken all day, aside from some messages on the morning before work. But when Kido meets your distressed form rushing past her, without catching anybody’s eyes, while she was pouring herself water on a paper cup, she pales.

It’s like one of those movie moments where your consciousness detaches from your body and you can see yourself on an outside view, only that she sees you in the place where she’ll usually find herself.

It was... Bizarre.

She knows you struggle at work, you have told her so, but seeing you actually show it the same way she does, and that makes her hate herself at times and feel powerless? It’s heartbreaking to witness.

You won’t ask for it, but she feels as she should lend you a shoulder right now. You probably headed towards the bathroom, that’s where she would’ve gone to in your place...

And surely enough, Kido opens the little room’s door as quietly as she can muster in hopes of not triggering you, and hears little sobs coming from one of the closest cubicles.

Breath, you’re not going to make this worst...

You have said that to her in the past and she feels like this is the right time to believe it. She takes hesitant steps your way and calls out to you in a soft voice.

“(l/n)?... are you in here?”

The air was caught up in your lungs at hearing those words. An underlying shame at being found in your current position.

“I understand if you’ll like to be alone right now...” she thought about mentioning that she saw you outside but bit her tongue. You didn’t need to think about others who might have noticed your situation outside. “... But I wanted to check up on you, is there anytime you need?”

There was was silence in the room for a few seconds, before the sound of a lock could be heard along with a gasp from you. It all happened very quickly but in the blink of an eye Kido found herself with a couple of arms wrapped around her middle and your head on her shoulder.

It didn’t get a negative reaction out of her, which she was thankful for... You probably needed this more that you were letting on. But your breath kept getting more violent as you allowed yourself to cry again, and with your head so close to her ear, Kido was getting a little anxious herself.

She tries tentative pats and caresses on your back, as she thinks of her next move. It’s important for her to remain calm at this point.

“(l/n), will you feel comfortable doing some breathing with me? I think it could help”

Your body tenses at her soft voice in such close proximity, but you let her know your answer by letting go on your grip. She takes the hint.

“Here... let’s sit” thankfully the floors were clean, because the idea came to her when noticing your shaky posture, and the spots next to the sink were about her only private option.

She feels herself relaxing within the second set of slow controlled breaths, but keeps guiding you through it for the following ones until she starts to notice positive signs on yourself, and eventually you let her know you felt better.

You take a few more moments collecting yourself and finding comfort on the unfamiliar hand currently caressing your shoulder with its thumb before you finally speak.

“I’m sorry...” you start in a whisper “today’s been extra bad for me” you force a small laugh to ease the tension.

“It’s alright, do you... want to talk about it?” not the best with words, so she figures she could at least lend you an ear.

You think to yourself whether that’s the best idea and how your body could react to it, but in the end decide to take her on her offer, in hopes of letting it out of your system before the day ends.

The stress had got to you that day, causing you to almost blackout mid-call with a rather rude customer who spitted several threats at you. To top what would have been an almost daily occurrence, one of your supervisors was feeling particularly feisty as well, resulting in him yelling at you because of your performance, and giving you a warning.

“Wow, that sucks...”

“Yeah...” at some point during your storytelling you rested your head on her shoulder, which made her move the hand she had on you all the way to your other shoulder, wrapping a protective arm around you.

“Sorry you had to go through that, you don’t deserve it. None of us do...”

You shrugged at her statement “That’s work for you.”

“I guess... Hey, want to get out of here and go anywhere else? After hours aren’t all that”

You chuckle and raise your tired head to look her way, and find her staring at you with the tiniest smile.

“I’d like that...”

At that moment, something in the air around the both changed. Maybe it was the fact of being so close to each other, the display of emotional vulnerability, or the amplified comfort that always seemed to grow stronger with time. Nevertheless, something out of that moment made you moved on your own until your lips connected with hers...

Kido was surprised to say the least, and found herself frozen at the contact. She had felt the same as you moments before and it did seemed like a natural course of action, but this territory and shows of affection were foreign to her. Her feelings for you came flooding swiftly in the fraction of a second and it was overwhelming. Despite all that, she directed that inner turmoil of emotions towards kissing you back, and using her free hand to still herself on your collarbone, while you did the same with one of yours on her neck. The touch electrifying.

It didn’t last very long, but when you separated there was still foreheads touching, and it was you who opened her eyes first. Would’ve been the first one to speak also, if not for the sound of an outsider approaching and opening the door. This sent you both into very different positions associated with dread, but as shocking as it was, Kido made you stop when you made a move to stand as she saw your intentions of apologizing to the newcomer.

You didn’t understand her reasoning, and even less the fact that the person didn’t even glanced at your general direction, as if it was the most common thing on the world to have two adults sitting on the floor of a public bathroom.

“Okay what was tha—“ and then you saw it.

“Kido... Your eyes! They— they’re—“ you could barely process what you were seeing.

“Your pupils are glowing red!”

Her calm exterior sent you even more into a panic, but she grabbed both of your hands in a silent reassurance that it was alright. You couldn’t understand anything that had happened in the last couple of minutes, nor formulate any coherent question for the moment, so you just continued staring at her face with a frown.

The women who had interrupted you eventually left, not without ignoring your presence still, and Kido closed her eyes and sighed, only to open them again displaying her usual black color.

You had no words to what you just witnessed, and it was so obvious on your face that Kido couldn’t help but speak.

“Listen, I— God, you must have a million question right now, and I promise I’ll explain! But just-- please, hear me out”

You blink in your confusion “So I’m not dreaming? This last unearthly minutes really just happened?” The girl next simply imitates your frown at those questions.

“Why, yes. It’s... a long story” she avoids your awaiting eyes and step on her feet offering you her hand for you to do the same “Care to join me for that exit we discussed earlier?”

Okay, now you’re really invested in whatever it is she can say to explain all that. So you take her hand and make your way out of the bathroom and the office itself with her by your side.

To say there were doubts in your head at all the things she was telling you at the time, would be putting it mildly, your mind was being blown. She told you about everything: her death, the snakes, the phenomenon around the 15th of August, the real connection between her foster family, Mary’s true identity, her power, and even the smallest hint about how she and other 10 teenagers almost died again a few years ago.

To help you catch the basics, she even let you test her concealing abilities on several groups of strangers you came across, only warning you about the cancelation effects as a way for you to avoid getting to far from her or making physical contact with anyone.

“This is insane” you stated while still under the effects of her powers.

“That’s an understatement if ever heard one...”

“So all of your brothers and the people of your story also posses this power?”

“Ah... Not quite, each holds onto a different ability, but yes”

“Woah, that’s just... Woah!”

She keeps her stare down and returns her eyes to normal. There was never anyone else outside the gang she had to explain all this stuff to, and remembering what you were doing before the secret came out... Well, it was nerve wrecking.

“I understand if you’re creeped out by it, or whatever... But I owned you an explanation after what happened. I just— I panicked, okay? I didn’t know what else to do for you not to be embarrassed and get into more trouble after the day you had, I’m truly sorry...”

“What? Kido, no... You have a right to your secrets, especially ones like these...” you started apprehensively, not fully comprehending everything you just been told “I understand why you would keep it to yourself and I appreciate what you did, and why you did it”

You bit your lip before continuing “In fact, if anyone has to apologize, it’s me...”

Kido meets your eye curiously after raising her gaze from the ground.

“What could you possibly mean by that?” She says incredulous.

“What happened back there, before the interruption, before your powers, that kiss... I did it without your consent, and that was wrong... I hope you can forgive me”

It was about time they spoke about it, even if it have been on the back of Kido’s mind ever since it happened. Is that what you were worried about? She could hardly believe it. There was truth in what you were saying, but she wasn’t bother by it, on the contrary... What if you were, though? Was this your way of saying you regretted it? Or that it was a spur of the moment thing?

Stop.

Wondering was no good in this situation, she had to do the asking, or any talking, for that matter. You were waiting for her to respond with something, anything.

“O-oh, sure, never mind that... There’s always a next time”

The heat that attacked you both at the nervous uttering of those word was unbelievable. Did she really just said that? Just like that?

Ever the saviour, you decided to ease her obvious racing mind by saying “A next time, huh?. I... Like the sound of that” you finished with a shy smile and got closer to her.

Kido didn’t stopped you, and was beyond relieved at the way you took her careless comment, for she did in fact wanted a next try, one without any vicinity to a toilet, for starters...

“I think I could warm up to the idea... If it was me doing the questioning this time...” she goes for your face and tenderly holds it with one hand, making you look to the sides in surprise. It is truth you were testing the waters, but you didn’t read her as the type to do this sort of thing in public... When you look at her again though, you see her red pupils once more, and quickly understand she’s both giving you privacy while also reminding you that she trusted you with the more “ugly” parts of her life.

“(y/n)... Can I kiss you?”

You nod your head happily at her question, and kiss her again, and many times after that as well. Kido received every one of them with as much heartfelt, and felt content with how things came together.

After all this time, all the hurting, and all the people, she found her person, someone in many ways special and apart from the others connections she has made in her life. You, who weren’t there for any other reason than herself, because you liked her.

It’s realizations like those that she cherishes the most, and makes her all the more grateful for her hard work throughout the years that lead her to this moment...

And to you.
