#we can end now and move to the event eheheh

[tetheredl1stener]

Astrid held Josephine’s gaze, unblinking. She didn’t move, as if stillness alone could pass for certainty. Her eyes searched Josie’s, looking for flickers of guilt or fear, for the faintest ripple beneath the surface, as if she could take a dip into her mind and swim into her secrets.

Still, Astrid smiled. A thin, knowing curve of her mouth. Just enough to unsettle. Just enough to let Josie wonder what she knew. “Straight home,” she said, brightly. Almost too brightly. Her voice carried that rehearsed ease, the kind used to invite suspicion.

By now, the crowd’s attention had turned elsewhere. The performance was over, which meant the real games could begin. She stepped past Josephine slowly, close enough to brush shoulders but careful not to touch. Her hand found the car door. She slipped inside without another word, the click of the door behind her soft but final.

In truth, old Missus Mei has always struck a sort of discordant chord within her. She reminds her a little too much of her own grandmother, a real taskmaster, one who doesn't tolerate fools or lazybones. Sometimes, Josie feels as though the old lady can see right through her—that this little façade of hers, Madam Mayoress, the ever-gracious lady of the manor, is one made entirely of glass, thinner than the wine glass stems that she comes close to snapping every night. It scratches an itch under her skin that's not wholly unpleasant; as though there's a part of her that yearns for somebody to snatch away her mask, to catch a glimpse at the rot underneath.

But then common sense returns like a slap across the face, and she comes crashing back down to reality. Internally, at least. As far as the expression she wears is concerned, she's serene, dignified, maybe too polished given they've just left a vigil for poor Eliza, but scrapping the pretence is harder than putting it on.

"Perfect." Car keys are plucked from the depths of her handbag, jingling some as she clicks a button and a sleek, dark car by the curb seems to come to life. Golden hair shifts as she moves her head closer to Astrid's own, dropping her voice down to a murmur, "Will I drop you straight home, or do you want to stop off somewhere on the way?" Another root through my closet, is the silent addendum, even if she isn't quite brave enough to voice it just yet.

Dividers by @/cafekitsune

Smart, stoic Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner. One of the BAU’s best profilers. One of the best prosecutors Washington D.C. has ever seen. Permanent frown on his face and an impenetrable emotional wall, he was not known to wear his heart on his sleeve. It was a persona he had spent several years cultivating. But they didn’t know him like you did. They didn’t know how he was around you, how he looked at you. It wasn’t just that— it was the way he moved around you, the quiet insistence that you were always close, always near.

You first realised how present Hotch was at the FBI’s annual Christmas gala. It was so subtle in the beginning, the way Aaron threaded through the room with you, a steady hand on your back, palm warm against your skin. It was the kind of touch that was imperceptible to anyone who wasn’t paying attention. But you felt it the entire night, four and a half hours in total. He didn’t let go of you once.

Despite this being the first formal event that you attended with Aaron, you never once felt anxious navigating the sea of handshakes and pleasantries. You met at least twenty new faces in under thirty minutes, forgetting names as fast as you learned them. Aaron’s hand was on your waist the entire time, steady and protective, guiding you through conversations, fending off curious coworkers with a soft, almost unnoticeable shift of his body between you and them. It was effortless- he even managed to hold both your drinks in one hand when you passed him something. 

By the end of the night, you realised something. You weren’t just his girlfriend; you were his partner, a quiet and unspoken claim that he did not need to announce.

The second thing that you noticed was the neck massages. It didn’t matter if Hotch had just come home from a week-long case or if it was a lazy Sunday. The moment he found you with your back to him - whether at the kitchen island, curled up with a book in an armchair, or even napping on the couch— he would materialise silently, his large hands moving to the nape of your neck.

It was a gentle pressure, expert fingers kneading the tension in your muscles. This was intimate in a wholesome way. He knew your body better than anyone, maybe even yourself. His palms were calloused and rough, but when they were touching you, it felt like the finest silk on earth. 

When his hands drew delicate circles, your world would fade away in contentment. Sometimes, Aaron would press his lips lightly against your temple. These quiet moments are as precious to you as special nights out. 

The third time was the ‘Lunch Incident’. You laugh about it now, but it’s not lost on you how lucky you are to see this side of Hotch. It was supposed to be a simple lunch drop-off at the office. As you greeted Emily and Derek, Aaron strode over towards you, legs moving so fast you’re sure his brain hadn’t even fully processed his actions. His smile when he saw you wasn’t just a casual ‘hello’ but something deeper, something more felt. And when he pressed a soft kiss against your lips, with that signature intensity, you noticed Agent Anderson nearly dropping his coffee in pure shock. The poor man, having just witnessed Hotch, the ever-professional Hotch, kiss his partner like he had no other care in the world, had gone pale. You couldn’t stop the grin stretching across your face. Hotch didn’t stop looking at you the entire time. Sometimes, he couldn’t believe you were real and that you were his. 

The fourth time, you just knew. It was a ritual, the movie nights. When you settled on the couch, ready for your favourite period film, you already knew how it would go. Ever so meticulous, Aaron would drape your favourite blanket over the two of you. But there was just something about the way he did it. He pulled you to his side, wrapping an arm around your shoulders like he needed you there more than he needed to breathe. And you’d fit yourself under his arm, cosy and safe, while the movie played. But truthfully, it was never the movie that held his attention. It was you. The way you reacted to every scene. The tiny furrow between your brows when something sad happened or the way your eyes sparkled during particularly romantic scenes. Aaron would never say this out loud, but he couldn’t care less about the films you watched. He cared about you. Watching you breathe, tracing circles on your shoulders, memorising the feel of your skin under his touch. He was always watching you, though you never caught him. 

And Hotch never made a big deal about it, but you knew those small touches meant the world to him. He was the profiler, but you noticed his antics too. When you handed him something, his fingers would always brush yours, slow and deliberate. You felt that electric spark dance across your skin each time, like he was quietly staking his claim. You always pretended not to notice, but in truth, you were just as addicted to those touches as he was. The way his hand lingered for a second too long, soft warm spreading from his touch. The kind of touch that made you feel like you were the only two people in the room. 

Honestly, it was getting ridiculous. He set his alarm early every day, just to spend an extra couple of minutes cuddling you. The moment that familiar tune rang out, he’d shift his broad frame, tangle his limbs with yours and pull you closer. Aaron never wanted this to end. So much so that he called in sick a few times, citing your refusal to free him from your clutches as the reason. But you both knew it was because he wanted to feel your hands card through his hair longer as he dozed on your chest. Neither of you said much during times like this. Still groggy from sleep, you both would just bask in each other’s quiet comfort. 

One day, when you were cleaning up his desk, you found it. The secret file. Tucked away in the back of one drawer lay a brown file with your name on it. You really hadn’t meant to snoop, but curiosity overrode manners at that moment. It wasn’t until you opened it that you realised what it exactly was. It was every story you had told Aaron about yourself, and every detail he noticed about you. Likes. Dislikes. Pet peeves. Your dreams. Your favourite songs. The small things—things no one else would have thought to note down, things only someone who really knew you would remember. He’d colour-coded it, as if it was a map of your soul.

You hadn’t meant to look through it, but when you did, a lump formed in your throat. It wasn’t a secret—just his way of keeping you close. And you realised, with a sniffle, that you’d never felt more cherished in your entire life.

When winter would roll around, you realised that despite spending years with this man, you could never quite predict when it would happen. But every time it did, you pretended to protest. Hotch would press his palms under your shirt, claiming that his fingers were frozen. This was always an assault on your senses. “I’m freezing!” you’d yell, but you knew what he was doing. He wasn’t trying to warm his hands. He wanted to feel your skin against his. You never pointed out the fact that his palms were always warm within seconds, that his body was a natural space heater. No, instead, you let him pull you in even closer, shivering as his hands traced light lines up your spine. You didn’t mind it at all.

Bonus

There was only one time that Aaron used his Unit Chief voice around you. It was something he had always been careful to avoid; he hated bringing any aspect of work home with him. But it was warranted that time, he justified. 

He had just stepped away for one second from your side at the local café. The barista had just called out your names, and he had gone to pick up your drinks (black coffee for him, surprise, surprise, and a ridiculously sweet frappé for you). In those few moments that he was gone and you’d been standing alone, staring wistfully at the pastries on display, a man had sidled up to you. He had a patchy ginger beard, and with a reedy voice, he had asked you if he could buy you coffee. In hindsight, the man had been perfectly polite, but Aaron’s blood had boiled. You had a gobsmacked expression on your face as you struggled to respond, and the man had stepped even closer. Aaron quickly snatched up your order and made his way to you. 

“Here’s your drink, honey,” Aaron said, voice low but tone soft. You gratefully accept the distraction as the man swings his head towards Aaron incredulously.

“Excuse me,” he began shrilly, “do you mind?”

Aaron fixed him with a Look. “That’s my wife you’re talking to. Can I help you in any way?” He said coolly. 

The man baulked, muttered a quick apology and scrambled off. 

As you and Aaron leave the café hand-in-hand, you can’t help the smile forming on your face. You tuck your face into Aaron’s bicep to hide your blush. 

Wife. Not girlfriend. Wife.

The sun suddenly shone brighter that day.

Day 7 - Ginny's birthday Extravaganza

(This fic is sfw, but there are some mentions of spiciness at the end!)

A/N: 🥳🥳 HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEEEEAAARRRRR 🥳🥳 I love you so muuuch, I hope you enjoyed this lil event and I hope you enjoy the last day of this even! I decided to write Thomato since it is a pairing I don't write much!

I hope you have a wonderful day Ginny, and I'm sending all my love to yooouu! (@otomiya-tickles)

Summary: Ayato is back from a business trip and it seems he can't keep his hands to himself, (not that Thoma mind too much).

"M-My Lord. I still h-have things to do."

"Hmm? Don't you want to stay with me, Thoma? If that's the case, then you are free to go."

Thoma bit his tongue to stop himself from whining. Never in a million years would he want to leave Ayato's side, but he really had to finish his chores that had been interrupted with Ayato's arrival. After being gone for almost two months, Ayato was back to the Kamisato Estate once again.

Seeing him safe and sound had been a tremendous relief to Thoma. The correspondence they sent to each other was not enough to calm the anxiety and worry squeezing his heart, but now Ayato was finally back and Thoma felt complete once again. 

He had missed him out of his mind and, if he dared to say it, Ayato had also missed him deeply. As soon as his master had seen Thoma, he rushed towards him and hugged him tightly, pressing him to his chest and planting kiss after kiss on his lips. Thoma's face had taken on an almost unhealthy reddish color and when he told Ayato that people were going to see them, he took him to his room, one that he had not seen in a long time. 

After closing the door behind them, Thoma found himself back into Ayato's arms, his face and neck being showered with tender kisses that had him blushing and shivering. Ayato must have really missed him all this time, could it be that something happened?

"W-Waka? Are you alright?" 

"Hmm?" Ayato hummed, pressing his lips against the pulse under Thoma's jawline. "Why do you ask? Is it so weird that I want to kiss my lover after not seeing him for so long?"

It wasn't weird. Thoma knew Ayato did show his affections for him often, with little gifts and kisses on his cheek here and there, but this time… maybe he really got homesick this time? It had been a long trip after all, but not as long as some other trips Ayato had made before. Well, it wasn't like Thoma hated the attention.

Thoma smiled and he wrapped his arms around Ayato's waist as his master cupped his face and moved it gently so he could still place kiss after kiss against his flushed skin. He really loved the attention, but he had also heard Ayato's stomach growling and Thoma hadn't even started preparing supper, so he really needed to leave that right that instant to make a snack for Ayato and prepare some tea as well; start dinner and finish his early duties.

"Waka… W-Waka we can do this later," Thoma said, pushing his head back when Ayato gently lifted his chin, a kiss to his throat made him moan softly. "Y-You need to rest, My Lord and also eat something, so let me go and quickly make something for- ehehehe!" 

Thoma quickly covered his mouth when a tirade of bubbly giggles escaped from between his lips. His shoulders scrunched up, squishing Ayato's face in the process as he nibbled at that tender spot underneath Thoma's ear. 

"W-Wahahaka," Thoma giggled, squirming softly. "H-Hohold on, plehehease! Y-You knohohow I'm tihicklish thehere!" 

"Of course I know that, and I know you like it when I tickle you," he whispered against the soft spot, brushing his lips against the warm skin to keep Thoma giggling. 

"W-Waka!" Thoma whined, covering his face with his hands. "Y-Yohohou sahahaid you w-wohohouldn't tehehell- ahahaha!" He was surprised when he suddenly felt fingers digging into his ribs, gently clawing at the sensitive bones.

Thoma took a step back, but Ayato followed him easily, tickling him softly. 

"I didn't tell anyone, did I? We're the only ones here, are we not?"

"Y-Yehehes, b-buhuhut- Wahahahakaha! Why ahahare you tihihicklihing mehehe?" 

"Because I can? Because I want to? Because I missed it and because you keep saying you want to leave?"

Thoma grabbed Ayato's arms and tried to push them away, but Ayato barely moved as he kept tickling his ribs. 

"It's nohohot thahat I wahahant to, I just, haah!" 

He wasn't sure how, but he suddenly was laying with his back against Ayato's bed. His master climbed on top of him as his fingers kept drawing out more of that laughter. Thoma squirmed, giggling and laughing and squealing whenever Ayato found an exceptionally sensitive spot. 

It had been a while since the last time he got tickled. Two months ago, to be exact, the night before Ayato left for his trip. That night, Ayato had said that he would miss tickling Thoma, especially more after learning that Thoma didn't mind being tickled and that he, in fact, liked it. 

Thoma had been a blushing mess that night, laughing until he begged for a break; he had had so much fun and he had felt so loved and indulged by Ayato, but right now he felt flustered. 

"Can't you forget about your duties right now?"

"Y-Yohohour stomahahach keeheheps grohohowling, Wahahaka- ahahaha! My Lohohohord! Plehehease!" 

He jerked when he felt fingers clawing against his tummy, he grabbed Ayato's wrists but barely did anything to stop him. His legs hanging from the edge of the bed kicked and jerked as Ayato tickled him more and more. 

"Wahahahakaha! At leheheahast- ahahaha!" 

"You cannot. I'll tell a servant to bring me something to eat so you don't have to leave."

"B-Buhuhut W-Wahahaka, I hahahave to- ahahaha plehehease not my rihihihibs agahahain!" 

Thoma arched his back when he felt Ayato's fingers pressing against his ribs one more time, clawing and vibrating against the muscles that jumped under his touch. Thoma's laughter increased in pitch and so increased his squirming. 

"You're moving too much, Thoma. Do you want to leave that bad?"

"N-Nohoho! It just tihihihickles too muhuhuch and- eek!" 

Thoma shrieked when he suddenly found his arms pinned above his head. He flushed to his ears and started to laugh nervously, shaking his head. 

"N-Nohoho, Wahahaka, plehehease not thehehere," he said, laughing and looking up at Ayato with bright eyes, his heart fluttering when he saw Ayato's fair cheeks dusted in pink. "Y-Yohou knohohow I'm very tihicklish thehere!" 

"Where?"

Aaaaah, that smirk was sending butterflies to Thoma' stomach. Ayato arched an eyebrow and he pushed Thoma' arms up a little higher. 

Thoma curled his toes and fingers. "Wahahaka, you knohohohow!" 

Of course he knew what was Thoma talking about, the night before his departure, Ayato had made sure to tickle Thoma' most ticklish spot until Thoma was seeing stars. Why was his Lord being so teasy right now?! 

"I think I forgot, in that case, you'll have to remind me," Ayato said, leaning closer to Thoma's face. "Where do you like being tickled the most, Thoma?"

"Wahahakahahaha!" Thoma whined, trying to hide his face away from his lover. 

"Where was it?" Ayato asked, holding both Thoma's wrists with one of his hands, the other lightly tracing Thoma's arm, making him giggle brightly. "If you don't tell me, then I guess I'll have to stop and- 

"Under my ahaharms!"

Ayato chuckled, "oh? Right here you mean?" 

Thoma shrieked with laughter when fingers suddenly descended against one of his armpits, fingers wiggling and diggind gently, causing Thoma to throw his head back with the loudest laughter ever. 

It felt like forever since he was tickled like this. He had missed it, laughing like this and feeling that maddening sensation that always made him feel so uncoordinated and out of control. He had missed having Ayato's hands all over him, vigorously trying to make him laugh his head off as he looked at him with tender love. He had missed being under his master's attention. He had simply missed Ayato. 

"AHAHAHAHA! Ayahahahato-sahahahama plehehease!" 

"What is the matter, Thoma? You want more? That is no problem."

"N-Nohoho, thahahat's nahahat- AHAHAHA! Oh, plehehease!" 

Ayato had let go of Thoma's wrists and quickly pushed his now free hand into Thoma's other underarm. Thoma pressed his arms tightly against his sides as he cackled in hysterics, unable to form coherent words between his loud laughs. 

"Ah, I think I am kind of remembering how ticklish you really are, Thoma," Ayato teased, nodding a little. "Especially under your arms, yes, but it is a good thing you love this, right?" 

Thoma shrieked with laughter, weakly grabbing Ayato's hips and giving them a squeeze. Ayato jumped, giggling softly. 

"Nohohow, Thoma. Are you trying to tickle me back right now? When you are at my mercy? That just won't do."

"AHAHAHAHA, My Lohohord, nohohoho!"

Thoma hiccuped between his laughter when Ayato leaned down to nibble at his neck and ears, causing tears of laughter to cling to his lashes and fall down the sides of his face. Thoma reached up and squeezed Ayato's sides, making him laugh against his neck. 

"Hehey! I am the one dohoing the ticklihing."

"Wahahaka plehehease! Juhuhust a momehehent!" 

Ayato laughed, "did you have enough for now?" Thoma nodded weakly. "Very well," he said and the tickling stopped and as Thoma tried to catch his breath and stop the residual laughter still making his body shake, Ayato quickly grabbed him and cuddled him, pressing kisses to his forehead.

"From one to ten, how much fun did you have right now?" 

Thoma giggled, looking at Ayato with droopy, sleepy eyes. "O-One huhuhundrehed." 

Ayato chuckled, "yes, me too." He hugged Thoma tighter and kissed his lips tenderly. "I missed you so much, Thoma. I wanted to drop everything and come right back to see you."

Thoma smiled brightly, his nose nuzzling against Ayato's. "I missed you too, Waka. Some days were harder than others and I wished to see you every single day. Welcome back home."

"It is good to be back, Thoma." 

A kiss here and a kiss there became a hand here and a hand there, a giggle and a laugh into moans and grunts. Thoma had missed his lover so much, he couldn't think of anything else now that he had him between his arms, jerking and flushing under his touch, sighing his name over and over. 

They had a lot to catch up on and Thoma thought that maybe they could both hold off their hunger for a bit, after all they would have plenty of time until Ayato's next trip.

Mini Masterlist - Part One - Part Two - Part Three - Part Four - Part Five - Part Six

Before you can move more than two steps towards the injured male bleeding out on the ground, Johnny has grasped your arm in his one hand.

“I’ll take care of him.” His voice is firm, eyes briefly darting down to your still bleeding forearm. “Worry about yourself first.”

“Johnny-“

“I’m not letting you anywhere near that fucker,” Johnny hisses, already walking passed you and towards your Uncle.

“Oh, what? Is my niece too good for me now to treat my wounds?” The words your Uncle speaks are purposefully loud, so that everyone can still hear him drone on. “Had to send her dog to do it for her?”

“You’re lucky to even still be alive at all.” Johnny spits, crouching before the male as he examines your Uncle’s wounds. “We should have just let you die. You absolute bastard.”

“You mean like how she murdered my brother-in-law?” Your Uncle huffs, rolling his eyes. “I always knew she was ruthless.”

A loud cry escapes your Uncle in the next second as Johnny applies pressure to his wound.

“My bad,” Johnny grins, tightening his hand over the bite marks. “Lost my footing.”

“Get off of me, you bastard!” Your Uncle attempts to push Johnny away, but the male doesn’t budge one inch.

“Oh, so you’d prefer to bleed out? That’s perfectly fine with me.” Johnny hums, moving to stand back to his feet.

Fear flashes across your Uncle’s features. “No, wait-“

“Then, keep you mouth shut.” Johnny snaps, tearing the remaining scraps of fabric off of your Uncle’s one pant leg to better assess the wound.

Smartly, your Uncle clamps his mouth closed, but with the hatred shining in his eyes, you can tell he’s displeased with these turn of events. The only plus side is the grimaces you can see crossing his features every now and then as Johnny harshly wraps up his wounds. The younger male isn’t gentle at all, purposely pressing much harder than he should against the open punctures, as well as making sure to tie the makeshift cloth bandages made out of the elder male’s own clothes far too tightly around the injuries.

“There, all done.” Johnny grins maliciously, standing back to his feet in the next moment.

“Aren’t you going to help me up?” Your Uncle shoots him a glare.

Johnny completely ignores him in favour of turning back around to face you. The older male starts swearing under his breath as he pushes himself back to his feet, glaring at Johnny the whole time.

You, on the other hand, remain frozen to your spot. Your blank eyes take in the scene before you without properly registering anything that is happening around you. Though, once you see Johnny back in front of you, you blink, clearing your vision.

“Are you okay?” His hands are gently placed on either one of your arms, staring deeply into your eyes.

You swallow thickly, nodding your head in the next moment. You brush him off. “I’ll be fine.”

That’s when you notice, someone has already cleaned and bandaged your arm. From the looks of the material, and the now missing sleeve on Yunho’s shirt, you just know that he was the one to do it.

Shaking your head slightly, you go to clear your thoughts. The way you take a deep breath in is meant to steady your nerves, steeling your expression once more. Only, your breath escapes you in a shaky exhale in the next moment.

Ignoring your Uncle will be the best thing for you right now. You may have saved his life, but that doesn’t mean you have to continue protecting him.

“As I was saying, where did you-“

“The fuck are you all standing around for?” Your Uncle once again harshly cuts you off, hobbling over to where the four of you are currently standing. “You think I was the only one running from that thing?”

“You were with someone else?” Mingi’s brow furrows as he spares a glance at the older male.

“They’re, unfortunately, probably dead by now if you got separated.” Yunho replies calmly, not even bothering to look in your Uncle’s direction.

“Like hell she is!” Your Uncle snaps before turning his searing gaze to you. “Let’s go, your mother’s life is at stake.”

Your reaction is instantaneous: breath hitching in your throat, your whole body freezing to your spot. Slowly, you blink, feeling your heart pounding within your chest.

“She can die for all I care.” You mumble, staring straight ahead.

“You ungrateful little bitch!” Your Uncle raises his hand towards you, only for Johnny to instantly have the elder’s wrist in his hand, fingers crushing the bones tightly. Your Uncle shakes him off, noticing how the two other males step in front of you somewhat for even more protection. “You good for nothing leech! After everything my sister and I have done for you, you’ll leave her to die? She should have thrown you out when she had the chance. You-“

“Enough.” Johnny’s voice is firm, purposely stepping directly between the both of you now. “If your sister cannot take care of herself, that’s on her.”

“Stay out of this boy,” your Uncle seethes. “These are family matters.”

“You are not my family.” Your voice is low, perhaps the darkest any of them have ever heard from you.

“Oh, so now you decide to grow a backbone?” He sneers. “Where was that confidence when you let your father die?”

Your breathing begins to come in uneven pants as you attempt to control your building anger. Though, from the way you see all three men tense around you, Johnny visibly shaking in rage, you know that they aren’t faring any better.

“You will come with me to find your fucking mother, and that’s final.” He demands, already turning and limping back towards the opening of the maze. At the way he turns, only to see you having not moved an inch, his eyes flash. A horrid look of complete contempt crosses his features, and your blood runs cold. You’d know that look anywhere. “Now.”

“Yes, Uncle.” Again, it’s like your entire demeanour is changing as your shoulders curl in on yourself. “Right away, Uncle."

“You live to serve my sister and I,” he snaps, eyes sharp as you begin trudging towards him, the three males following silently along. “Never forget your place.”

Both Mingi and Yunho exchange a tense look, barely being able to control their rage as it courses through their bodies. They should have known introducing your Uncle and that bitch into these games was a bad idea. They should have just decimated them when they all had the chance.

They won’t make that same mistake twice.

“We should grab the supplies from the kitchen first,” Johnny moves to take a step back towards the house.

“You imbecile, there’s no time for that!” Your Uncle shouts, clearly exasperated. “Hurry up, and get a move on!”

“It’s okay, John,” you place a light hand onto the side of his arm, but even he can feel how you tremble against his skin. “We can come back for the stuff later. Besides, there are a few more places inside the house I want to explore more thoroughly. We can’t do that with the king of narcissists on our trail.”

“Alright,” he sighs, sparing you a worried glance out of the corner of his eyes. Then, his gaze is sharpening as he turns to the two other males standing with them. “You two,” both Mingi and Yunho straighten, “always be between them. I don’t care the circumstances. You don’t let him near her.”

Johnny’s final words are pointed, each purposely emphasized as he meets the other two’s gazes. Almost immediately, they nod their understanding.

As if they need to be told twice, or at all for that matter.

You let out a small sigh, following after your Uncle in the next second. “Let’s go.”

A few minutes pass by in the maze as you all are led by your limping Uncle, not saying a single word. That is, until Johnny is breaking it once more.

“So, where did you find those weapons?” He directs his question to Yunho.

“Woke up in a shack filled with them.” Comes his reply, shrugging slightly. “Took the one I’m most used to.”

“Archery?” You quirk a brow, sparing a glance at him from over your shoulder.

“He’s been training for the olympics since he was eight.” Mingi supplies, a proud grin taking over his features.

“Lucky you knew where to shoot to kill that Gorzin, then,” Johnny observes, a hint of suspicion in his orbs.

“Seemed no different to me than taking down a wild grizzly.” Yunho shrugs, and his answer is enough to get Johnny off of his back. For now.

“You’ve hunted before?” You don’t mean to sound as impressed as you do.

Yunho preens, “a few times. Though, from what I’ve experienced so far, nothing to this extent.”

“So, you’re aware of what’s going on?” Johnny spares another glance at the tall male from the corner of his eyes.

“Mildly,” Yunho shrugs. “I’d rather not kill anyone, though. Least of all my brother.”

“Glad to know I’m still number one on your priorities,” Mingi grumbles lowly. “You know I can take care of myself.”

“Oh, you can, can you?” You turn to him, an amused look on your features. “I told you to wait inside the house until we had handled the situation outside. You could have died.”

At the way you continue to playfully scold Mingi, Yunho cannot keep the grin from tugging at his features. He even lets out a small chuckle as he watches you smack Mingi upside the head lightly in retaliation to a smartass remark the pink haired male attempts to make in response.

“I apologize if my brother has caused any stress,” Yunho chuckles. “He has a bad habit of doing things he’s not supposed to do.”

You fail to see the way Yunho’s gaze sharpens the slightest bit at his brother as you turn around. However, Johnny doesn’t.

“Which shack did you say you woke up in, again?” Johnny asks, cautiously watching Yunho’s every move.

“If my orientation is correct,” Yunho pauses slightly, turning his body towards the left and pointing off in the distance, “It’s that way.”

A shack that rests directly parallel to your own. At least, based off of the map you drew, and if you’re remembering correctly.

You begin to wonder if Johnny had woken up in the shack closest to the manor then, opposite Mingi’s own.

“Perhaps we should check out what other weapons are available before we continue searching,” Johnny comments, already locking gazes with you. “It’s better to be prepared in case there are things worse than just Gorzin’s in this maze.”

“Good idea-“

“We don’t have fucking time to play knights right now.” Your Uncle interrupts you, frustration clear on his features. “My sister could be dying.”

“And why should we care?” Mingi tilts his head, almost mockingly, in your Uncle’s direction. Though, with how he blinks, it appears like a simple, innocent inquiry.

“No one asked for you to come along, faggot-“

The word has barely finished escaping his lips when he’s suddenly on the ground, your chest heaving as you flex your knuckles. Your eyes blaze, a fury unlike anything they’ve seen before lighting in your eyes.

“Say that again, I fucking dare you.” You seethe, glaring down at your Uncle who rubs at the side of his jaw.

A pleased growl nearly escapes from Mingi’s chest, but at one firm look from Yunho, both males are composing themselves rather quickly.

Your Uncle spits out some blood from his mouth, glaring back up at you with nothing but malice in his gaze. “You dare raise your fist against me? Me?”

“You never had a problem with hitting before,” you mumble walking passed him without so much as sparing him another glance. “Hurts when you’re on the receiving end, doesn’t it?”

In the next moment, he goes to reach for your ankle, only for a pained cry to escape him.

“Oops!” Mingi grins sheepishly. However, you all fail to see the joyful gleam that sparks within his light green eyes for the briefest of moments as he steps on your Uncle’s injured leg. “Silly me. Guess I should watch where I’m going.”

Fear flashes within your Uncle’s gaze as he meets those light green orbs, and smartly, his mouth remains shut. He swallows thickly.

Slowly, he gets back to his feet, wincing all the while. Now, he’s stuck at the back of the group between both Mingi and Yunho. Though, the more steps he takes, the more unease he feels creeping up his spine.

“Where did you last see your sister?” Yunho asks casually, but his voice still manages to make the older male jump.

“We were in a sort of warehouse before that thing jumped out and attacked us.” He replies, rubbing at the side of his jaw once more. Already, it begins to swell. “Stupid creature chased me through this maze until I reached that house area.”

Both you and Johnny share a look. Sounds like the Gorzin was taunting your Uncle then; playing with its food is nothing unusual, especially if it’s confident in the kill.

“Are we even headed in the right direction?” Johnny sighs, clearly irritated with your Uncle.

“Like hell if I know! Ask the compass.” Your Uncle replies with a roll of his eyes.

You sigh, “it’s this way.”

“Are you sure?” Johnny’s brow furrows.

“There’s another opening up ahead that I can see that wasn’t here yesterday.” You reply.

“Yesterday?” Johnny’s eyebrows raise. “Just how long have you been trapped here?”

You simply shake your head in response, indicating that you’ll discuss things with him later. He can only nod back silently, worry eating away at his heart as he takes note of how tired you seem to be already. 

He purses his lips.

Sure enough, once the five of you step through the opening, a large warehouse greets you. The exterior is a steel grey in colour, metal sheets lining the sides. Some of the windows appear broken, rust lining the frames. From the looks of things, it appears abandoned.

“Where did you last see-“

“Over this way,” your Uncle doesn’t even give you a chance to finish asking your question before he’s hobbling off in the direction of one of the receiving docks near the far end of the warehouse.

Both you and Johnny heave large sighs, Yunho and Mingi following silently behind.

Your Uncle pays no mind to his surroundings, not even bothering to be stealthy as he flings open the side door of the warehouse. A loud bang resounds through the area as he steps inside. A moment later, and he hops down a set of stairs, turning right as soon as he reaches the bottom.

“She should be right- holy shit!” A loud yelp escapes your Uncle as he rounds the bend, a complete look of mortification settling onto his features.

Turning the corner to observe the sight that has your Uncle so speechless, you freeze. Nothing could have prepared you for what greets you as you take in the smears of blood against both the floor and the walls. Though, those aren’t the worst parts of it all.

The mutilated corpse you see in front of you is your mother, leaning against the side of the wall. Her lower jaw is missing, torn clean from her body as blood continues to leak onto her upper chest. Her left leg has been completely twisted in the opposite direction, right arm torn clean from her body. Her eyes stare straight forward and down the hallway, glazed over in fear.

The worst part though, is when her eyes shift from peering down the hallway and towards you.

“She’s still alive.” Yunho observes blankly.

Though, you all fail to see the way he blinks almost in disappointment for the moment. Nor do you notice the slight grimace Mingi makes in annoyance at seeing that bitch still breathing.

“This is all your fault!” Your Uncle rounds on you immediately. “If you weren’t so concerned about fucking the first thing on two legs that gave you any sort of attention-“

A rumble begins to shake the entire building.

“Sure, sure, shift the blame off of yourself just like always,” you wave him off, completely ignoring how he fumes just off to the side as you crouch in front of your mother for the moment. You meet her gaze. “I wish I could say I felt any shred of sympathy for you right now.”

Slowly, you pull out a steak knife from your back pocket. The way your eyes glint off the dull reflection of the blade allows you to see just how dead your gaze has become.

“I could end it all,” you hum, hearing the mutilated corpse of your mother let out a strangled whimper before you. “So that you didn’t have to suffer any longer.”

The four males around you remain quiet, watching the scene unfold in front of them. While two look on in barely concealed glee, another can only stare on in concern. Johnny knows you have every right to be acting this way, but still, seeing his best friend lock those walls around herself, and become that heartless killing machine again pains him beyond belief.

Your Uncle, on the other hand, looks about ready to lunge at you himself.

Another rumble shakes the building.

Your gaze locks on your mother’s own, noticing how laboured her breathing is. Her chest barely rises and falls, a single tear escaping her eyes.

The knife gets twirled in your hands, practically teasing her at this point.

“You killed me a long time ago, mother,” your tone sharpens purposely on that last word. Your eyes flash. “I wish I could say the same about you.”

Standing back to your full height agonizingly slow, you watch as your mother attempts to let out a muffled scream before succumbing fully to her wounds. Her now dull eyes stare straight ahead, no light left in them at all.

You let out another sigh, just as the worst tremor shakes the entire warehouse.

“We should get going,” you say, moving to turn back to face the way you came from.

“What? And just leave her here to rot?” Your Uncle protests. “Over my dead body!”

Your turn your sharp gaze towards him about to respond, yet, it’s Johnny that beats you to it.

“That can be arranged.” He smirks maniacally, flipping that small blade he still carries casually in his one hand.

Your Uncle swallows thickly, before pure fury begins to course through his veins.

“You two, and your holier-than-thou attitudes can go fuck yourselves,” he seethes before rounding entirely on you. “I spent years of my life taking care of you, and this is the thanks I get? I should have thrown you out a long time ago after you couldn’t handle one little disciplinary beating-“

It’s as if his voice suddenly fails him, for in the next moment, he’s coughing up a handful of blood. He doesn’t even get a chance to say anything more, for an invisible force harshly tugs at his ankle, causing him to land face first in a pool of your mother’s own blood. A moment later, and he’s being dragged down the hallway, screams of terror escaping him as he desperately claws at the ground to escape.

You turn your horror filled gaze to the three remaining males around you, “run.”

Without waiting for a response, you take off in the opposite direction. Luckily, you manage to grab Johnny’s wrist as you dart passed, dragging him along with you as you begin to sprint down the hallway. You can just make out the pounding of two other sets of feet behind you, until it all goes silent.

A blinding flash fills your vision, and you find yourself raising your free hand to block some of the light. Unfortunately for you, the hold you feel around Johnny’s wrist loosens, and he quite literally slips from your grasp.

“No!” You attempt to reestablish that hold on him, but it’s like that invisible force pulls you apart. “No, Johnny! I can’t lose you, too!”

Except, a deadly silence is all that greets your ears in response.

Blinking to clear your vision, you notice that you seem to have been transported back to that manor across the maze. Rubbing faintly at your eyes, you quickly take in your surroundings to see that you’re back in that little study on the left side of the house.

Only this time, you’re not alone.

Content Warning!

Certain stalking behaviour

Season: Summer

Aira: (Hmm hmm~ Hmm♪ At long last I’m able to browse the idol merch store~!)

(With the wall fully covered by idols’ pictures and flyers, and the songs of different groups entering your ears…… It feels like I’m surrounded by my favourite idols, it’s so Love-ly☆)

(For the me that had a super exhausting day at practice, this is basically the best feast to regain energy♪)

(Let me think, what should I buy today…… I didn’t get that badge last time, should I go and pick it out again?)

(Even though I brought enough money to buy a whole box this time, but to gather a whole lot of dupes just for one, it feels like it isn’t worth it.)

(Not to mention if I happen to get the badge after just buying one pack, then I’ll have quite some money remaining for other merch.)

(The shop's marketing tactics definitely appeal to the consumer’s gambling mentality. Huhu, what a trap~……)

(Wait a sec, that 「Eden」poster over there, it seems like it’s my first time seeing it…… Could it be newly arrived merch?)

(Then I better hurry. After all, 「Eden」merch always sells super fast, that even if you go online to buy it second-hand, the prices always skyrocket.)

(…… Oh, I remember! A few days ago during a tea party for a 「Pretty5」meeting, Tomoe-senpai seemed to have mentioned「Eden」would be releasing a new CD soon.)

(Turns out this time they would have a live handshake event for fans who bought the CD…… If I miss this rare chance, I’ll definitely regret it forever!)

Aira: Hey excuse me, could I pay~♪

Aira: (Ahaha, it seems even the employees are shocked at the amount of CDs I’m buying, and kindly layered the shopping bags too.)

(Huu(groaning), this month’s allowance is going to vanish in the blink of an eye, I told myself that I’ll have to save money on food and expenses a bit……)

(But the merch I’ve already bought is so heavy to carry, even if I wanted to buy more, I’d most likely struggle to bring it back.)

(Having so many CDs, at least it’ll buy me some time during the handshake event, won’t it? I’m really looking forward to what Tomoe-senpai will say, ehehehe……♪)

Hiyori: Jun-kun, you walk too slowly! If you don’t want to be left behind, hurry up and come!

Aira: (……Huh? Just now I seemed to have really heard Tomoe-senpai’s voice? Or am I still deep inside the world of fantasy?)

Jun: GODDAMN! Isn’t it because Ohii-san tossed all your messy bags to me to carry, on the other hand you’re free to roam?

Hiyori: Haha, hasn’t that always been Jun-kun’s job? It's too late to feel dissatisfied now!

Aira: (Let me pinch myself…… Uwoah, it hurts!)

(Wait what, this really is the real world and in front of me are living 3D idols?! Wahhhh, my mind is going blank!)

(——Ah, the two senpai-s went towards the escalator. I better hurry up and catch up, and tread lightly……☆)

(Even though sneaking behind the senpai-s’ back comes off as quite rude, i have to ignore that for now!)

(Being able to see 「Eve」, the two elite idols’ everyday shopping, it really is too Love~ly! I might miss it if I blink!)

(That's why, please allow me to enjoy this sacred sight for a bit, to create an unforgettable memory……)

Location: Shopping centre first floor

Hiyori: Hmm, this clothing store looks fine! Jun-kun don't just sit there slacking off, hurry and accompany me~♪

Jun: What is it, can’t you let me rest for a bit…… Unlike Ohii-san, I’m not fatigue-less during shopping.

When we left home didn’t we say today is only for buying sunscreen products? Clothing shops are undeniably not according to plan.

Hiyori: I’ve already said change of plans, haven’t I? If life only moves forward while following a prescribed path, that’d be way too boring.

Jun: That sentence shouldn’t be used here…… Well never mind, Ohii-san always goes way off-schedule, and I'll only be able to follow you to the end.

Hiyori: Mmhmmh! Having spent days working with Jun-kun, I can finally welcome the rare days of rest, looking forward to it all from now on♪

Hiyori: Talking about summer, we’ll surely need to go to the beach and fully embrace the radiant sunshine and soft sandy beach! So I definitely need to restock my sunscreen and summer outfits!

Jun: ……Just asking, but what’s the necessary cause and effect between those two sentences?

Oh and also, since we entered this shop, it seems like there’s this fiery gaze that is pinned to our backs…… I can’t be wrong, right?

Hiyori: Hmmhmm, my existence is someone who always catches the eye, that’s why this is inevitable!

Since Jun-kun is always by my side, surely you’ve gotten used to it by now?

Jun: Sigh~ Is it alright to be so relaxed? Or is it that Ohii-san feels that even if we run into any suspicious person, I’ll be your shield?

Hiyori: That idea isn’t so bad, thank you for reminding me☆

To put it simply, don’t mind it, and focus instead on enjoying the process of shopping, that’s good weather/ii-hiyori!!

Come look come look, this t-shirt with a pattern of big red flowers, doesn’t it have the spirit of summer? ♪

But I fancy the coconut tree pattern mor-

Hiyori: (……Hm? There’s another hand that’s faster than me by a second, grabbing a shirt of the same style?)

[jhoudiey]

The beans day fic is here! Lots of Yoru Jade banter, yay friendship! 3130 words, no warnings!

“What do you want, Jade?” Yoru grumbled. Jade had knocked and let himself into her room, she was huddled in front of her desk finishing her history essay when he interrupted her.

“Oya? How did you know it was me?” He smirked, hand to his chin.

“You’re the only person that ever knocks” She shrugged, not bothering to look in his direction. Unlike her regular guests, Jade wouldn’t visit without reason, she waited for him to tell her what he was after.

“Ahhh Yoru-san, so studious, working on your homework on the eve of beans day, I would have thought you’d be plotting something with Azul or Idia-san...” She twirled hand in the air, gesturing to him to get on with it. “I’m here to ask a favour- I’d like your assistance with beans day tomorrow, assuming you haven’t already made plans, Floyd said he said he was here earlier”

“You really want to waste one of your favours for help tomorrow? Works for me” she shrugged

“About that, I was quite hoping to keep my remaining two favours available and you would help me out of the kindness of your heart” He smirked as she barked out a laugh, still not bothering to spare him a glance.

“Ha! No. Nice try though”

“Oh? That’s too bad, you see, I’m on the opposite team as Azul this year and I was quite hoping to completely humiliate him” Yoru stopped writing, slowly turning to face Jade.

“I’m listening”

“Shrewd as ever I see, Yoru-san. I do already have a plan, of course, though the added certainty you could provide would be most appreciated”

“What do you have in mind? And what’s in it for me if you lose?”

“Fufufufu how hurtful, to have so little faith in me”

“That doesn’t answer my question” she smirked, leaning back against her desk “If I help you and you still lose, what’s in it for me?”

“Perhaps we can discuss repayment afterwards, you see, I do not plan to lose, so I do not know what to offer you at the moment”.

She chewed on her tongue, trying to decide what she would accept as payment. Jade didn’t break his stare, observing her with a light smile on his lips.

“If I help you and you lose, you have no more favours from me”

“Hmmmm, I’m not sure that is a fair trade, Yoru-san”

“It’s my price. Besides, if you’re so confident you’ll win you’ll still come out with two, so what do you have to lose?”

Jade chuckled, the smirk on his face growing to show his pointed teeth.

“You make a sound argument, Yoru-san. Meet me at Sam-sans shop shortly after noon. There we will meet with Idia-san, Ahhh I mean Mister Smith-san to be outfitted appropriately. I will see you tomorrow morning, Goodnight.”

**

“Hey Sam. Where’s Idia or Jade, I’m supposed to meet them here”

“Ahhh my favourite little demon-chan! Unfortunately what your friends were searching for was OUT OF STOCK so they have since gone on their way” Yoru rolled her eyes, she was hoping she wouldn’t have to do any of the lame code word stuff Idia had told her about.

“Out of stock?” She sighed, reciting the words Idia had told her the week before. “That’s too bad, for what I seek is always in stock, at Mr Smiths Mystery shop” Sam finished the phrase with her, beaming.

“Over here, demon chan! Mr Smith awaits” Sam led her to a back room where Idia was waiting

“Hehehe you actually remembered” Yoru rolled her eyes again and sighed, regretting her decision to help.

“Where’s Jade?”

“Not here yet, but here’s your outfit” He handed yoru a series of straps attached to pouches and a headset. She hesitated to grab them, Jade hadn’t mentioned anything about having to wear a costume.

“Uhhh… do I have to? What am I supposed to do with any of this?” Idia shook his head at her, sighing dramatically.

“Yoru, you can’t play co-op without looking the part, so I got you a cool looking skin” She shook the pouches in her hand, wondering what Idia meant by skin - There were a lot of black and orange straps...nothing that looked anything like skin.

“Idia...what…?” She stared at him, “And what do I do with this?” She wiggled the bright orange earpiece at him. “How does it work?”

“Uggggghhhhhh can’t you be cool for even a minute? And give me that so you don’t break it. Get dressed and I’ll help you with this, then you need to leave. I don’t want you to blow my cover” She handed over the earpiece and secured the straps around herself, surprised that he’d considered her wings when putting the “skin” together for her. After tightening all the straps around her arms and legs she popped the pouches open, they were full to the brim with beans.

“Extra ammo for my masterpieces ehehehe” Idia secured the headpiece on her ear, adjusting the microphone in front of her mouth. “Don’t touch this part - you just need to talk and Jade will be able to hear you”

“He’ll be able to hear me? How? How will he talk back?” She reached toward the mic - Idia slapped her hand away.

“Don’t touch it, you’ll probably break it somehow. It’ll work, just leave it alone. Now go away, I think I can hear someone else coming.”

Yoru nodded, crawling out a back window to not alert anyone in the store to her presence. She sighed, hoping she’d be able to get the hang of this “spy” thing. Her job was just to watch, she hadn’t expected the extra technology. She took to the skies, hoping to settle herself in a tree far enough away from wherever Floyd planned to nap. She knew if he found her he’d decide bothering her was more interesting than napping and she wouldn’t be able to concentrate on helping Jade.

“Yoru-san, are you in place?” She nearly fell out of her tree when his voice came over her earpiece half hour later.

“I’m ready, if that’s what you mean. What do you need me to do?”

“Do you have my location?” She shuffled around on the branch she’d taken up residence on, leaning against the trunk of the tree, wings comfortably fitted to either side. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, using her unique magic to search for Jade amongst all the students would be dizzying and she didn’t want to fall.

“Found you, what do you need?”

“Where’s Azul?”

“He’s with Jack at the coliseum”

“Keep an eye on me, let me know if I’m about to walk into an ambush. I don’t believe the monster team would be able to surprise me, but with Azul leading I don’t want to be too over confident”

“Probably a good idea, you never did ask me if Azul had approached me for help”

“Did he?” She saw Jade shake his head and look around to try and place where she was hiding

“I wonder. Have fun Jade” She chuckled and leaned back in her tree, watching as the chaos unfolded on campus. True to her word, she’d advise Jade when he was about to walk into a group of the monster team, but he was no slouch. She was surprised at how well he was doing, she’d known he was sneaky, but had expected him to have more trouble than he was having.

Her attention was pulled from Malleus and Lilias' fight with an urgent request for beans. It seemed Jade had finally gotten himself into trouble. She sighed, watching the two fae fight was the most interesting thing that had happened the entire event so far.

“Hmmm kinda busy right now, how desperate are you?” She heard him sigh and adjusted her focus to be back on him. There were students creeping up behind him. “You’ve got three monsters coming up on your six”

Pew Pew Pew

“Awe man! How did he know we were here! We didn’t make a sound!”

“Leech- senpai is too good!”

“Eugh! Lets just go get lunch, I heard Scarabias dorm leader is cooking in the botanical gardens!’

“Okay!”

“Ahhh Yoru-san, were you perhaps hoping I would be completely out of beans and you wanted to see me get captured? Fufufufu, how shrewd.”

“Is it wrong to want to see you lose?”

“I suppose I should have expected as much when I asked for your help”

“Another monster to your left.”

Pew

“Still have beans?”

“Of course, though a refill would be most appreciated”

“See that huge apple tree about 200 meters to your right?”

“Indeed”

She took off from her perch, clearing the space between her hiding place and the tree mentioned before Jade made it to their rendezvous point. She waited in the branches for Jade to arrive, looking down on him as he took cover from more approaching monster team members.

“Two at your four, three at your six, another two at your nine. Good luck” she smirked and dropped one of her pouches, making sure to not give him enough time to reload in any meaningful way.

Pew pew pew pew pew pew pew

“You didn’t really need a refill did you?”

“I did not, I expected you’d be difficult and planned accordingly”

She laughed knowing she’d been outplayed and settled herself in the new tree. Maybe helping Jade would end up being more fun than she expected. He took off running towards the coliseum, the farmer team was nowhere near getting the lyre - she supposed Jade was off to enact the next part of whatever his plan was. She stretched and lounged across the tree branch, watching chaos unfold all over campus. She found Floyd, surprised he’d decided to participate and watched their team for a while - Jade was doing just fine on his own.

“Yoru-san, I’m in need of a few more beans if you would be so kind” She searched for him, finding him near the main entryway of the school, not a lot of places she could move around without being spotted by any of the other players.

“I’m going to have to meet you somewhere with more cover, it’s too exposed and I’ll be seen” She heard him huff

“There’s no monsters near here, you can meet me-”

“Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there”

“...Where are they and how many?”

“How many beans do you have left?” she heard the faint sound of him checking his beans shooter over the headpiece

“Six”

“You’ll be fine…. Just don’t miss”

“Yoru-san” she could hear the frustration in his voice as she vacated her hiding spot.

“I’ll leave you a couple beans two turrets up, make sure to keep the monsters distracted so they don’t see me”

“Yoru this is most unpleasant of you”

“Ahahaha, it’s actually the opposite Jade, this is quite pleasant”

“As I should have expected”

Pew pew

“Do hurry, I have found myself in a sorry state”

“Well that sounds like a you problem, doesn’t it”

She smirked and took to the skies, flying as fast as she was able to minimize the chance that someone would spot her mid-flight. She landed on the roof, hiding herself as best as she could as she deposited some beans in the rain gutter for Jade to retrieve.

“Check the gutter. Azul’s nearby so this looks like your last stand”

“Thank you, Yoru-san” She bit back a laugh as she flew back towards the woods, she saw that Floyd had run out of beans and had planned to offer him a few of her extras when Jade's voice cut across the headset once again.

“Four beans, Yoru-san? Have you decided to change sides after all?”

“You said you needed a few beans, so I left you a few beans. How was I to know you had actually run out when you so easily tricked me before? I didn’t want to over burden you” She had to cover her mouth to stifle her laughter as a group of students ran underneath her new perch. “If you’d care for me to blow your cover I could come back” She heard him sigh.

“I will make due.”

“You’re going to have to, I’ve been spotted”

“Yoru-san! Are you playing too? Are you using your magic?! Your eyes look so cool!” Epel whispered excitedly when he spotted her in the tree.

“Eeeehh? Fugu-chan? You told me you weren’t playing!” She shrugged, helping Epel up into the tree, he was too short to reach the branches on his own.

“Jade asked for help after you left and made me a pretty good offer”

“Eugh you sound like Azul”

“Yoru-san! I thought we weren’t allowed to use magic, does yours not count?” Epel asked curiously, trying not to stare at her black glazed over eyes.

“Hmmm? I’m not a student so technically me playing at all isn’t allowed, not that I’d need my magic to beat anyone here” She grinned at Epel who nodded.

“Ehh? Fugu-chan, you couldn’t beat me” Floyd complained as she laughed

“Maybe not in the sea, but on land I could take you without breaking a sweat”

“Haaaah?! I’ll squeeze you either way, even on land” Floyd threatened, leaning in towards her cracking his knuckles. Yoru sighed,

“Yoru-san trains with Vargas-sensei!” Epel chirped, matter of factly “She’s super tough, probably even more than Vil-senpai and Floyd-senpai! I wanna get strong like her too, can I come with ya again next time!?” There were sparkles in his eyes as he beamed at her, his fired up attitude was so endearing she never minded him joining in on her training.

“Ha! Floyd, why don’t you join us? You can go all out and still lose. It’ll be fun” She grinned at him as the stars in Epels eyes grew. Floyd grinned at the offer to let him go wild - everyone always told him to hold back, Yoru clearly didn’t know what she was offering. She rubbed her neck, tapping one of her pouches “Do you two need beans? I’ve got a bunch left over”

“Ahhh so you hadn’t misplaced your beans, Yoru-san, you chose to not share them with me. How cruel of you.” Jade sighed over the radio. She had forgotten he could hear her, Yoru laughed and pushed the microphone away from her face.

“Yes please, Yoru-san! Thank you!”

“I thought you were just going to nap?”

“Hmmmm~ Betta-chan senpai convinced me, and look at this cool jacket! It’s fun chasing all the monsters too, even though I’m stuck with weak little Guppy-chan”

Epel started to protest before Yoru shushed them, pointing to the North.

“Here’s your beans, go get em” She smiled and waved them off, the boys soundlessly dropping from the tree to sneak up behind the monsters who foolishly had only been searching at ground level rather than amongst the branches. She smiled, Floyd and Epel were an unlikely pair, but an entertaining one at the very least.

She split her vision to focus between the odd duo and Jade, who had finally squared off with Azul. There weren’t any crows near enough to see what they were talking about, but it was sure to be infuriatingly intellectual. She considered revealing herself to watch their battle in person, but it was too late. Jade had lost. She pulled her microphone back to her mouth, hoping she hadn’t damaged it by moving it.

“Boooooo you suck” No response. Either Jade had turned off the receiver or he chose not to answer, she couldn’t be sure which. Whichever it was, she was still free of his grasp, the favours she owed him evaporating as he was captured. She sat back in her tree to watch the remaining students battle, Floyd had somehow run out of beans again even though they’d just reloaded and was using his bean shooters like batons. She almost felt bad for Scarabias vice prefect as Floyd chased him despite him already having been eliminated. Leave it to Floyd to disregard the game entirely and do whatever was the most fun, not that she could blame him- she’d done the same in a way. A net shot from the shadows, finally capturing Floyd, he whined wriggling on the ground trying to tear it away with his teeth

“Floyd, stop struggling, you can’t bite through this net. It'll damaging your teeth”

What? What kind of net was it that could damage teeth? Yoru sat up, curious. Would her fingers be able to rip through it? Her feet? She landed next to Azul seconds later, Floyd still entangled.

“Hey what is this made of?” She asked, trying to cut through it with her nails. The material resisted, stretching along the length of her fingernail instead of tearing as most other fabrics would. “I’m keeping this.” She turned to look at Azul, hands full of net.

“Fugu-chan I can’t get out of you keep pulling it, it’s really annoying” Floyd pouted, trapped completely.

“Oh.” She helped him untangle himself and stand, gathering the net in her hands stretching the fibers between her fingers. It really was amazing what could be done when magic was involved. They trudged their way to the main street, Yoru cradling the net to her chest hoping Crowley wouldn’t show up and take it away.

���Ahhh Yoru-san. It seems despite your help, I still failed to secure a win for the farmers team” Jade lamented, having finally joined them. The smirk Azul wore was so smug Yoru was tempted to wrap him in his own capture net and throw him in the lake.

“Were your 4 beans not sufficient?” She asked with a grin, Jade chuckled, flashing his pointed teeth

“They were not.” He looked over to his twin with a smile on his face. “Did you have fun today, Floyd?”

“Mhmm~ Did you, Jade?”

“Very much so, though if I’d picked a less difficult partner I wonder if we could have won” Yoru giggled and shrugged her shoulders. He knew what he was getting into when he made her the offer in the first place.

“Eeeehhhh~ who cares anyway. I’m starving”

“I missed lunch as well, today was quite busy, hmmm”

“So lets go back to the Lounge and make something to eat”

“I don’t wanna eat in the lounge” Yoru complained “What about-”

“I have to agree with Yoru-san, there is something else I’m craving right now…”

“The meat Rakko-chan was cooking earlier!”

“Indeed”

“So what are we waiting for then?” Yoru asked, leading the way to the botanical gardens with the twins following behind, telling each other about their day, all three of their hearts set on kebabs.

Hello, can I ask for Fling Posse going to a haunted house? And then Gentaro and Dice being surprised because they realize RAMUDA IS AFRAID OF GHOSTS lmao just wanna see the three of them being the dorks they are :(

this is such a precious rq we need more wholesome fp content  ☆ ～('▽^人)

i hope you enjoy~

“Hmmmm, it’s not a problem! I’m only teensy bit afraid of ghosts, but who isn’t? I mean they’re sooooooo scawy, right?!”

Dice and Gentaro looked at each other, then at the queue in front of them. It was only for small haunted house, not one which they thought would pose a problem. The confusion had stopped them for a moment before they decided they should act brave for their leader.

“Don’t worry, Ramuda! Your posse is here for you!” Dice proudly beamed at Ramuda. No matter what was said, they were pretty proud of Ramuda to face his fear. He’d totally overdone his whole peppy persona the whole day, even more so than usual, so they knew something was up.

“Waaaaaaaah! I love you guys! Let’s get going!” Ramuda pushed past them when it was their turn to go in.

“Hm. This is impressive for a fairly amateur haunted house.” Gentaro lamented as he looked around the attraction. He remained calm, for now. A strange sound effect played when they passed a certain point. “Was that scuttling? I wonder what that could be…”

“No. Don’t wanna. Let’s go.” Ramuda puffed out his cheeks and marched forward with stiffness in his step.

“Ramuda, perhaps they are the ghosts of every bug you’ve stepped on?”

“AaaaAAaHHhh!! I’m so sorry little buggies I won’t do it again!”

Ramuda planted himself between the other two, linking their arms with his. “I-is it too late to go back?”

A cheeky grin appeared on Gentaro’s face.

“Ramuda, whatever is the matter? Would you like to leave?” He leant over to try and see Ramuda’s face but he had his head down. “I think your actions say everything, Ramuda. I expected you to be quite unbothered by this. What do you think, Dice?” Gentaro was trying to cover for his own scaredy-ness by passing the attention.

“Oi, don’t make fun of him.” Dice snapped back, a little too much on the edge for someone who said he wasn’t scared at all. “Don’t even try to lie, Gen. I can see you’re sweatin’ too.”

Dice was right.

“Fufufu… nothing gets past you, does it?” Gentaro quickly turned away when he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. “Ramuda, where-”

Before he could ask where the shaking pink head of hair went, something flung onto Gentaro’s back. He tried to hold back a dramatic squeal of surprise but failed.

“Heheheh, Gentaro, that wasn’t like yoaaAAH! Why’re you on me now?!”

Somehow the three of them had formed a train. Ramuda was clinging onto Gentaro who was holding onto Dice. With their bravest man in front, the train chugged on through the haunted house. Mostly with their eyes closed.

They saw the light of the outside world down a corridor. Finally! Dice tugged everyone along towards the exit until-

“kyyaaaAAAH!”

Someone dressed as a ghost leapt out at them as soon as a flash of bright light appeared. They didn’t even have time to think about what happened as Ramuda shoved the group out.

“Ehehehe! Wasn’t that easy?”

Dice and Gentaro just stared at him. There was no way he was going to pretend like whatever just happened didn’t happen at all.

“Are you for real?”

“Mm! Of course, Dice! Let’s go somewhere else now!”

“Ah, you two appear to have forgotten something.” Gentaro gestured towards the booth coming out of the exit. There were little keychains, soft toys, and all kinds of snacks. When the others looked at him in confusion, Gentaro pointed closer, towards a screen. “That little event at the end was a photo opportunity. I have heard of them before but it was quite fun to experience one.”

And sure enough, on the screen were photos of visitors that had come through the haunted house. Some were familiar from the queue, but right in the centre was a very expressive trio.

“Ahahahahaha! Ramuda your eyes are so wide!”

Ramuda hunched over and pouted. “I wasn’t scared at all.”

“Fufufu. The image says otherwise…”

Ramuda then crossed his arms and stuck out his tongue at Gentaro. “Meanie! It’s not real. The picture is lyyyyyying!”

“Ah, if you say so. I think it’s time we move on.”

“Yes! I wanna get some food!” Dice beckoned the others to follow him, excited at the prospect of food. Ramuda followed behind, babbling about the candy he wants “Gen, you comin’?”

“Yes, yes. I’ll be just a moment.”

He waited until the others were out of sight and spoke to the booth worker.

“Hello, could I buy a few copies of that photo? Yes, the one in the middle. Thank you!”

And we’re back! There’s definitely some themes that come up in this chapter that will be echoed going forward, so I’ll try to point them out and explain my thoughts on those a bit. Other than that, I think this is a two-part chapter, just based on an initial skim, and we’re technically in the second ‘arc’ of the series, according to the BNHA wiki - though I have chosen to shove everything before the USJ into the ‘opening arcs’ tag for ease of tagging, since it’s really all just character / setting introduction before getting into the action.

[No. 5 - Smashing Into Academia]

So we get to see most of the top ten scores - Katsuki in first place with all villain points, and Izuku in seventh with all rescue points. We also see some other familiar names: Kirishima (2nd) with 74 points, Ochako (3rd) with 73, Shiozaki (4th) with 68, Tenya (6th) with 61, Tetsu^4 (8th) with 59, and Tokoyami (9th) with 57. I think we’ll get to see the others later, but for now, I’ll just look them up for ease of confusion: Kendo (5th) with 65 points and Awase (10th) with 56 points. So yeah, talk about your high scores!

This raises a few interesting thoughts:

First off, I know that Horikoshi had initially intended to put Shiozaki in class 1a, but either forgot or ended up deciding she wasn’t suited for it, thus the reason we see her name here but don’t see her until the Sports Festival. Also, I like how he uses the cutoff of the 5th and 10th place in order to fit in more 1b students when he comes up with them - it’s not a trick I would have immediately thought of myself, but it makes sense, and gives a good sense that it’s not just 1a dominating in these sorts of events.

[Discord: its cuz her hair was a pain to draw, which like- mood]

...though that then leads to the question of how certain members of 1a and 1b got in with their quirks. Like, I appreciate all of them, but some of the kids just… yeah, I’m not entirely sure what they could do. I suppose that just makes them particularly clever for getting in, which isn’t a shock when the bar for entry is high. 

I… am also surprised Kaminari isn’t higher up there, considering his zappy zappy could take out a whole field of them… though possibly also the people nearby him if he wasn’t careful. I suppose with those scores all in the fifties to seventies, though, even if he took out like thirty or forty points worth, it still would only be enough to get him in, not as a high score.

...speaking of high scores, Ochako only got rescue points from saving Izuku, which is what got her third place overall despite not even hitting thirty villain points. With how high the first ten spots were, and with there only being thirty-six spots overall, there’s a chance she might have missed the cut entirely and have not gotten in if she hadn’t pushed herself to save the person who saved her.

This is a running theme that I’ve noticed about Izuku’s character and narrative effects - he’s not All Might, who makes people feel safe with his presence. He’s not a larger than life figure who stands between villains and the rest of the world. What he is is a plain, unassuming kid who will push himself to breaking in order to save someone, in order to win. And in doing so, we see him in turn inspire others to act, because if this plain, unassuming fanboy can do it, why not them as well? I mean, hell, that’s how he got his quirk!

Recall this? It’s something that we see again and again in the series, something that I think is the core of Izuku’s character development and something he needs to realize in order to really come into himself as a hero and as a person. His greatest strength - that capability to become ‘the strongest hero’ like he desires - isn’t in One For All or in his fighting prowess, but in his ability to inspire others to become better versions of themselves, to push themselves just a bit more, and in so, those ripples end up saving more people and improving the future, one person at a time.

Izuku grew up in a world where his greatest heroes were the Symbol of Peace and (his) Symbol of Victory. While it’s not a title I think he will ever take on in full - I think part of the endgame of the series will be to move on past reliance on a few Symbols to ward off evil and have everyone work together to build up a better world - I do believe he really encompasses the ideals that would make him a Symbol of Hope to Japan and the world. As Hope, he’d give others the belief that they could reach out and be given help, that someone would be there for them if they asked - and, I would like to think, he’d be able to make that world together with his friends and allies, once everything is said and done.

Anyways, I sort of. Got rambling there. Uh. How far are we? One panel? ...ehehehe…

So we get the next two panels, which is the staff discussing Katsuki and Izuku - opposite ends of the spectrum. One got in with only villain points, the other with only rescue points. They note that Katsuki was able to keep going for the whole ten minutes, where most other students were slowing down by halfway through. A true endurance monster. Izuku, on the other hand, is noted to be the first in a while to take out the gimmick, even if others have stood up to it before.

(Also, I love Mic’s ‘kid just makes me wanna go yeah!’ What a mood.)

Hah, they also note that his backlash is like a kid getting a first glimpse of his power, plus how in every other way he looks like a typical failure. However, Mic and… some other staff member (possibly Midnight, I want to say? It makes the most sense) just like Izuku and aren’t so worried about that, while Aizawa chills in the back and thinks they’re all being noisy.

We transitioned to Izuku and Toshinori, 8 pm the night Izuku got the acceptance letter. Izuku is crying as he basically shouts All Might’s name, and Toshinori spits blood and basically has Izuku cover his tracks since, surprise, there are now other human beings here! 

Toshinori that can’t be good for your health oh my god.

But yeah, apparently the news that day (or any point that week, probably) is that the beach was cleaned up by some mysterious do-gooder, so now it’s a good place to go on dates again. I know Izuku said no one came by there (chapter 2), but still, it feels weird to think no one noticed anything at all over the entire ten months Izuku and Toshinori (sometimes as All Might!) was there, especially since I think they were at other parts of the beach when Izuku was doing swimming training? 

I mean like, what about the people who were illegally dumping their trash there? The people who have to cut through there because it’s a shortcut to get home? The people who get lost and accidentally stumble across it? Random villains trying to use it as a hideout or stash for their loot while hiding from the police / heroes??

Ah whatever, it is what it is. Toshinori congratulates Izuku on passing and gives him a high five.

Fucking hell that’s so cute, I already have it saved as a reaction image I love it so damn much. But yeah, Toshinori hasn’t mentioned his relationship with Izuku to the school (though I know this isn’t true because Nezu and RG know… though that might not have been until after Izuku passed and he knew Izuku was going there.) 

Izuku appreciates not having to worry about favoritism, and is excited for Toshinori being a teacher at UA. He asks if that’s why they’re meeting at the beach despite All Might’s office being at a very precise address that Toshinori cuts off. Toshinori then says he couldn’t tell anyone until the school made it public knowledge, and that he’d take the job while looking for his successor.

Izuku remembers that Toshinori mentioned he’d been looking for a while, and that he’d have been looking among the students. Izuku thinks about all their amazing quirks and raw talents, and stares at his hands as he brings up how he broke after a single use of the quirk and that he can’t wield it. Poor boy, no self-worth or realization of how impressive his first use was…

Toshinori points out that of course it’s not an immediate success - if someone suddenly grew a tail, they wouldn’t be able to do tricks off the bat. Izuku asks if Toshinori knew this would happen, and Toshinori says there wasn’t enough time, but everything worked out all right… or, well, All Might. 

What a fucking dad, that was a dad joke, I am so done. Someone stop this man. 

Anyways, Toshinori bends down to pick up some empty spray-paint cans, which shows that while the beach is clean, there’s still a lot of small junk and broken glass and stuff left to clean up, which I imagine was either something Izuku did during the month and a half between the exams and the beginning of the new school year, or something the community ended up doing once they all were coming there. 

He tells Izuku that it’s all for nothing for now, but once Izuku figures out how to regulate it, he’ll be able to put out just what his body can handle - and that the more he temperes his vessel, the better he can control the power. All Might then crunches those cans in one fist, which he’s really lucky they’re empty, or else he’d have gotten paint everywhere. (Would have been hilarious to see, though.)

But yeah, All Might makes the comparison of passing on the Olympic flame, and how the new torch burns weakly at first, but that the trials to come will fan it. 

The same couple on the pier notice All Might and ask where he came from, and All Might panics, running off, with Izuku following confused yet dutifully.

God that running pose is fucking hilarious I am cackling. 

But yeah, he notes that his own flame will wither and die, with his duty fulfilled. I like how you can just see that couple trying to make their way from the pier to try and catch All Might. 

Anyways, a short post, but the next page gets into spring and the beginning of the new school year, so I figure it’s better to cut it off here. Besides, I spent a whole page and a half rambling about characterization and narrative echoes, so shoosh.

Saiouma Week Day 6: Fluff

Hey there, everyone!! I decided to do this day’s prompts for saioumaweek ( @saiouma-events ) : angst/fluff, where I chose to do fluff, of course~!

Summary: It’s a lazy afternoon for the boys, and so they do what they usually love to do: play around and chase each other around the house! They both always have a fun time when they let loose and play around like that, adoring the laughs and smiles they can get out of each other.

Heheh so as you can see, I pretty much wanted to make a simple, but cute oneshot for this prompt! I hope you all will enjoy the floof as well~ and as always, thank you so much in advanced if you give it a read! ღ

Today was a lazy afternoon. Shuichi and Kokichi were doing their own thing as they hung out in the former’s living room, with Shuichi reading a book on the couch, while Kokichi was sitting on the floor playing a video game on the TV. At one point, Shuichi got up so he could use the bathroom. That’s when Kokichi got an idea for a small, but funny prank to play on him. Snickering, Kokichi rushes over to another room to grab a toy mouse. Quickly but carefully, he stuffs it in between a few pages further than Shuichi left off on. When Shuichi comes back, Kokichi was already back at his game, acting as if he didn’t do anything… but he was silently awaiting the moment Shuichi reacts. So after a few more pages… Shuichi sees the toy mouse in between the pages, and-

“GYAH?!” With a loud and confused shriek, the book flies out of Shuichi’s hands when he leaps off the couch. When he takes a closer look at the mouse, he realizes it’s fake and picks it up. “W-What the!?” 

“P...Pffttt….” Almost instantly, Kokichi bursts out in laughter, almost missing the pause button before he drops his controller. “Hahaha!!” He’s almost leaning over with how hard he laughs, turning his head back to look at his extremely puzzled boyfriend. “Hahaha!! I-I got you good, Shuichiii~! That scream was worth it! Ahahaha!!” 

“O-Oh my god, Kokichi: you are sooo funny!” Despite blushing slightly in embarrassment, he still chortles. “A-Allright, I’ll admit: you got me good. You nerd.” He was going to playfully bop him on the head with a couch pillow, had Kokichi not quickly dodged and flew up to his feet. 

“Miiissed! Come catch me, Mr. Detective~! Nishishi!” Taunts the snickering Kokichi before he dashes off. 

“Hoh! I’ll apprehend you, criminal-!” Declares Shuichi before he quickly chases after him, already failing to keep a straight face. “Wh...When I get you, you shall finally, h-hehehe, p-pay for all your crimes, Ouma Kokichi!” 

“You’ll never catch me aliiive, Saihara Shuichi! H-Hahaha!” Playing the roles of the ‘hot-boiled detective chasing the infamous phantom thief’: this was something they loved to do often, always having a blast when they did. Even as they tried staying in their roles, boisterous laughter roared from the two as Kokichi navigated through the corridors and different rooms, just barely slipping past Shuichi’s grasp when he needed to run right back out. Kokichi adored seeing his boyfriend’s playful side come out like this: that it didn’t annoy Shuichi when he wanted to play like this.

Eventually, Kokichi enters the bedroom. He’s slowly walking backwards as Shuichi nears him. “You’re cornered, mister: there is no escape…” 

Even as Kokichi’s leg eventually hit against the foot of the bed: that confident smirk doesn’t leave his face. “Ohh? If you think you’ve got me that easily, you’re wrong-!” Kokichi was going to attempt to reach for a pillow to throw at his face, so he can make for a quick exit once again… but with quick thinking and sudden movement, Shuichi leaps forward, and…. “Ah-!!”

Pins Kokichi down to the bed, hovering above him with an unusually smug smirk on his face. “Hmhmhm…. You were saying?” 

Kokichi’s breath hitches. This wasn’t the first time Shuichi ‘caught’ him like this. Yet each time, the heat rose to his cheeks and his heart raced even more. Not only from how much and how fast he was running, but also being pinned down by Shuichi. Even if he was just playing his role: hearing his boyfriend look and act so confident like that… he found it madly attractive. “S...Someone’s cocky. What’s Mr. Detective going to do to me now, hmm? Gonna tie and rough me up? Since you pinned me to the bed…”

“Y-You and your wild imaginations! But no: rather, I’ll punish you with…” A smile widening on his face, Shuichi leans his head further down, and… starts pelting Kokichi’s face with kisses in between giggles. “...This! Take that-hehehe-a-and that, and that!”

“Ahhh~!” Kokichi starts playfully squirming around, giggling at the barrage of kisses. “N-Nishishi, hahaha! M-Mercy, detectiiiiive!” 

“No mercy for youuu, h-hahaha!” And this was always how their little chase ended, with the detective delivering his fierce punishment of barraging his beloved ‘criminal’ with kisses. He loved the adorable giggles he got out of him, and before he would stop… he always leans in to plant a slow, deep kiss to Kokichi’s lips as he slowly closes his eyes.

“Mmm…” He utters a small hum into the kiss once his giggles die down, eye coming to a close as well. The blush on his face darkens and he leans more into the kiss, feeling his heart flutter softly in his chest. Once Shuichi moves his head back up when they need to break from the kiss, Kokichi gives him a warm, loving gaze. “Shumai…” A hand reaches up to comb through Shuichi’s hair. “I love when my beloved plays with me like this. It’s so exciting, being chased by him..” The smile he gives Shuichi is innocent and genuine… the rare kind of smile that he’s only willingly presented to Shuichi…. before it turns into his usual big, bright, and mischievous one. “....And when I catch him by surprise, too!” He chimes, before wrapping his arms around him and proceeds to start making them roll around on the bed.

“I have lots of fun, too, Koki…” He smiles warmly, leaning against his hand. Then when Kokichi suddenly wraps his arms around him and makes them start rolling- “Woah-!” He lets out a surprised yelp before he quickly finds himself wrapping his arms around Kokichi in turn, laughing. “Eheheh, hahaha! Oh nooo, you got me!” And as they’re rolling around, Kokichi’s the one sneaking kisses to his cheeks this time, making Shuichi giggle even more. “K-Kokichiii-ehehe!”

“Nishishi~! That’s right! Diieeee!” He also loved making Shuichi crack up like this, adoring the cute giggles he makes. 

“A-Ahaha, c-careful though, we don’t want to accidentally roll off the be-auh!” Before he could get the full warning out, the two really do end up rolling off the bed, with Shuichi’s back hitting the floor. Luckily a pillow that got knocked down when they were rolling around wildly on the bed was right there to cushion Shuichi’s head so it wouldn’t hurt from the impact of hitting the ground. “Oh…!” The two look at each for a few seconds, before they both start laughing. “G-Geez, thank god that pillow was right there!”

“Eheheh… I made sure it was! Even a supreme leader can be merciful to his boyfriend sometimes.”

“Aren’t you sooo sweet…” He sarcastically remarks with a smile, nuzzling their foreheads together. They still had their arms wrapped around each other with Kokichi laying on top, but even while they were still on the floor, they felt comfy enough to not need to get up just yet. Right now, they wanted to be in each other’s hold, and get lost in the other’s eyes. “Kokichi… I love you.”

“I… love you, too, Shuichi.” Three words that the supreme leader would teasingly say a lot before they got together, yet was incredibly shy on saying it genuinely and that directly. Overtime, he’s been able to without feeling as shy. It makes him happy… “I always want to be with my beloved… and that will never be a lie.”

“Yes…” He places soft kisses on his lips. “We will always be together, Kokichi: that, I can promise for a fact. You’re the… only one for me, after all.” 

“G...Geeez… i-if Shumai’s that blunt about it...n-nishishi…” Despite the rising heat to his cheeks, he gives an even brighter smile and a nod. “Mmhm! That’s right! I’m the only one for him, just as Shuichi is the only one for me! Him, and no one else!”

“Hehe… good… I love you so much…” Kokichi leans his head even closer, to help close the distance between them in a deep, loving kiss as their eyes slowly come to a close. The two adored their lazy afternoons for many reasons, but it was especially when they had their soft, intimate moments like this.

CCS The Sealed Card Play: an Analysis

I’ve recently rewatched “CCS: The Sealed Card” and, well...I was touched by something that struck my heart deep into the core.

So, Let’s begin the Analysis.

The Play:

We all know the story of the play. Two rival countries are at war for the Magic Stone, who grants to have powerful magic to anyone who touches it. The Prince (played by Yamazaki initially and after the Incident with the Nothing, played by Syaoran) and The Princess (Played by Sakura) are the respective regnats of the rival country. The two met in a Masked Ball and dance together, falling in love with eachother. I highly have no doubt that this is a foreshadowing to the reality between Syaoran and Sakura...because:

The Magic Stone = The Book of Clow\Clow Cards

The rivality between the countries = The rivality between Sakura and Syaoran at the beginning.

The Prince and The Princess fall in love = Syaoran and Sakura fell in love.

The Prince managed to confess to the Princess = Syaoran did confess to Sakura, during the time of the Second movie.

The Princess didn’t managed to confess = Sakura has still to give an answer to Syaoran.

The Prince dies in her arms (Seen during Rehalsals, before the scene of the play) = Losing the most important feeling to transform the Nothing into a Sakura Card.

But this is not the point that I wanted to analize, there’s another point that I’d like to illuminate you with. And we’re talking about the scene where the Prince confess to the Princess.

Between Stage and Reality:

The thing that moved me during my rewatch of Movie 2 was this scene. Maybe because I’ve lived it in first person, since I am an Actress and Diction Teacher. I totally felt that the emotions that both Syaoran and Sakura where having in there were true, not because they are good actors (Which they actually are *eheh*) but because those were the emotions that they felt not on stage, but in reality.

This is a phenomenon that I call “Trascendence between Stage and Reality”, because I totally felt it, as I said above, in first person. And it’s a phenomenon (As I felt it) that causes an ache to your heart and it’s hard to focus on the scene or the act, since you lose completely control and your voice is broken by the memories of that past event, that it’s exactly the scene that the actor is doing right now on stage.

In this scene I can see both Syaoran and Sakura’s emotions, I see their personas, not the characters that they were supposted to act in that scene. I see this phenomenon especially in Sakura’s expression and body language. In earlier scenes, she has learnt from Eriol that to seal the Nothing, she had to give up to her most important feeling. 

I can totally see here, that she felt guilty here, because she wasn’t able to confess to Syaoran, yet. But she felt guilty because she heard from him once again those three words: I Love You. 

This haa caused to her this phenomenon, she wants to confess this feeling, knowing that sooner or later she will lose it (But we all know how it ended ehehehe *ahem* get a grip Anya). In her eyes I sensed on Sakura this feelings of guilty, of sadness and pain, knowing on how it probably end, she desperetaly wants to confess to him...

But both of them know that Duty is the death of Love, and their duty is to seal the Nothing before it could even destroy the whole universe, knowing the high price to pay.

Now let’s focus on Syaoran. He had this phenomenon too, he wasn’t focused anymore on his role, and he sensed that Sakura was feeling pain and sadness, His feeling to protect her from anything is stronger than anything, he doesn’t  want that Sakura sacrifices her most important feeling. But he knows that he can’t keep her forever safe in a glass bell.

I had the confirm that Syaoran felt this phenomenon by looking carefully in here. He saw her tears, tears of the gultiness of not giving him an answer, of the sadness that she felt after knowing what she has to do, of the pain of probably loosing her most important feeling.

We all know that Syaoran wants to protect Sakura from danger, he’s even willing to sacrifice anything for her to be safe, even loosing his most important feeling.

Before the show, we had this close up of the couple...

I can see that they both taken their decision. And, as I said above, knowing that Duty is the Death of Love.

“Nothing left to lose Loving you again I know it's already over, already over now ”  

Was This Phenomenon Accidental or Intentional?

For this answer, I have unfortunately to say this: I don’t know. I don’t know if it was accidental or intentional, or if the animators wanted this phenomenon.

But I felt it, and it was something that moved me deeply into my heart, and it made me emotional and in the verge of tears.

Intentional or Accidental: I have a total respect for that scene now, It was something strong. And I’ll never forget this.

Let me know what you think. I’d like to debate on this :3 

Thanks for reading me and, as usual, I’ve talked too much xD

[oveliagirlhaditright]

Author’s Note: For @angel-with-a-pipette (since for some reasons my fault one of the things we’ve talked about when we PM each other is Twilight. LOL). It’s not the drawing idea I had--I may still try and do that for you--but here’s a scene of Sora and Kairi in Twilight (the book) as Edward and Bella, but with my own SoKai spin on it all.

Basically? It’s right after Edward (though Sora in this) saves Bella (Kairi) from those guys in Port Angeles--when she’s already figured out he’s a vampire and a mind reader, though they haven’t had that conversation yet--and before they go to dinner in Port Angeles (which actually doesn’t happen in this fic, for reasons I’ll explain in a minute).

Also, I went with the “Life and Death” version of the Port Angeles scene. No one was trying to rape Kairi here--thank God--but rather when she got dropped off at Forks in the beginning of the book, she saw something shady going on with these guys at the airport. And in Port Angeles, she runs into those same guys from before, who want to kill her because they remember her from that day and think she was a witness to the event.

I also changed some of the Twilight vampire lore here. I’m having Sora be able to blush, as human blood lingers in his tissues. I’m also making him less strong, so that he thinks getting into a car accident--if the car blew up and there was fire, that is--could actually kill him.

And I tried to give Kairi a tiny bit more agency here--as Bella (who I do love. Don’t get me wrong)--by having her drive some, and Sora actually appreciating her driving and whatnot. IDK.

But anyway, I’ve rambled enough. Here’s the story.

Kairi’s PoV

"Have you always been so... empathetic, as to understand everyone's emotions the way you do? I mean, not to be mean, but you seem a bit staggered around me... so I feel there has to be something going on to make you to be so intuitive around everyone else," Kairi said, in trying to get the boy beside her, Sora—who she knew was a vampire—to admit that he was that… as well as a mind reader.

Sora gripped the steering wheel a little harder at Kairi’s words and blushed—the only indication he gave to Kairi at all, that what she was asking somewhat bothered him. But then he was so calm and pleasant when he faced her afterwards—as he always was—that Kairi had to wonder if she’d imagined his discomfort. “…O- of course I’m not that suave around you, Kairi. I- I like you, so it makes me feel nervous... So I’m sorry if I maybe seem less poised with you, that way, than I do with other people. …But you really think I’m that good with others? I don’t.”

Well, now it was Kairi’s turn to flush and feel a bit nervous, wasn’t it? Kairi sent a small smile Sora’s way, trying to show him that she liked him, too… Though she was irritated that he was trying to lie to her about his abilities now …

But she also understand what insecurities he might have that could drive him to do so. So as gently as she could, Kairi leaned ever closer to Sora and gently put a hand atop his. “Sora, I- I know that you’re a vampire, okay? And that you can read minds… except for probably mine. it’s okay. You can- you can tell me all about it.”

…Aaaaaaaaaand Sora nearly drove them off a bridge at Kairi’s words—something that almost made her regret she’d ever said a thing. Almost.—but he regained control of the vehicle again, fast… and Kairi found herself falling even more in love, as Sora saved her life once again.

“Wh- what? Why would you even say that, Kairi? Of course I’m not! Now, let’s stop thinking about ridiculous things and join Selphie and Naminé for dinner, shall we? Ehehehe.” But it was clear by the edge in Sora’s voice—and how he was speaking in a pitch much higher than Kairi had ever heard from him before—that she had stumbled upon the truth.

The redhead shivered as that information really hit her. Yes, she knew for a fact that Sora would never hurt her—she could just feel it in her heart; and more than anything, he’d been helping her lately. Hadn’t he?—but it was still something else, to have the information that Seifer had eluded at proved to be true.

And seeming to realize the jig was up, Sora gave up the front of acting like Kairi was wrong, and slumped in the driver’s seat as he let out one great big sigh. “Kairi, I- I’m sorry. You must be scared right now—and you have every right to be!—I- I wanted to keep you from danger as much as I could. But I was kidding myself in thinking anything’s more a threat to you than I am. Here: I’ll drop you off with your friends and then I’ll leave your life forever.”

But all of that was the opposite of what Kairi wanted!

And while Sora may have been doubting himself here, Kairi knew the kind of heart he bore. Sora was so good to everyone! His siblings, for example, that Kairi got to witness him being amazing to on a daily basis… He was there for her for sure, in saving her both from that van and those guys who had just recognized her from the airport…

And even when Kairi had been pushing Sora into telling her what was going on with his powers, he’d only ever been sweet to her… even while he pushed her away, sometimes literally (though always gently).

And he’d also signed himself up to go on a date with anyone who would pay a lot of money to charity for his being their date… even if he’d clearly hated the idea of going out with Larxene.

Sora was kind through and through, and Kairi just wished that he would see that!

“Sora, why don’t you- why don’t you let me drive? You seem too emotionally spent to do so yourself right now—and that’s my fault, and I apologize for it—but we both want to get home safely, right?”

And wordlessly, Sora acquiesced to Kairi’s request. He pulled over somewhere—something that Kairi knew should have been terrifying her, but wasn’t—and then switched seats with her.

Then, when Kairi was driving and they were fully back on the road, Sora leaned his head back against the headrest and closed his eyes and smiled… He seemed to be liking her driving. Maybe he’d actually gotten tired of driving so fast, but hadn’t realized so until now?

“Sora, I want you to know I’m not afraid of you,” Kairi told her dear friend—though how she wished he was more—as she tried her best to focus on the jerk driver behind her who wanted to rear end her, and not on the fact that she was really laying her heart out on the line here. “And no, before you protest… I don’t think that’s me being stupid, or anything else. If it was anyone else- a vampire who really seemed to want me dead, for instance, I’d be running for the hills right now.

“But you- if anything, you’re the opposite of that. And I want you to know how much I appreciate that: how you seem to fight tooth and nail against your very nature to be able to be someone to write home about. It’s like how I went against what I want—who I really am—in moving here for my mom’s sake, not my own… But you’re probably more selfless than I even am, because you don’t complain every second about the choice that you’ve made. But I- I do.”

Kairi thought Sora would protest some of her self-loathing words here, because, if nothing else… their encounters together had told her that Sora thought she was pretty unselfish and special in that way.

But Kairi right now was trying to show Sora, that… really, he was a lot like her. And that they were two outcasts together in this world. And maybe that could mean something for them.

And Sora seemed to latch onto that, and chose not to dispel the image she had created: something she would be thankful for later.

“Kairi?” Sora asked now, as he opened one beautiful eye and peered at Kairi with it, as if she were the most beautiful thing in the world. “Do you- do you mind if we ditch your friends and go to a candy store or something? I swear I’ll tell you everything you want to know there.”

“I’d very much like that, Sora,” Kairi replied bashfully, to which Sora smirked and told her she didn’t have to be so uncertain around him—since, in his eyes, if anyone should be doubting everything they knew in this situation, it was him. But even while he said that, it was his hand that found Kairi’s this time.

Author's Note: So, like I said, they don't actually go out to dinner in this. Why? Because having the "vampire" talk happen early changed some things. And also because it's Sora and Kairi and not Edward and Bella, so they're a bit healthier. Because of Kairi's words, Sora's willing to try and trust himself to be alone with Kairi (unlike how Edward would have been)... something they both really want to be, and NOT with others right now, as they want to be a couple and give it a go. But they go to a candy shop, because Sora (like Edward) still thinks Kairi needs to eat. But he's not overly pushy about it like Edward, so he's fine with her just eating something small like candy on a date (as long as she's eating something at all. As Sora thought she'd refuse in getting food-food, since HE doesn't eat). You can see the candy shop date as the substitute for the Italian restaurant one in some ways, if you want.

[noeulneo]

hello wow i’m so very late but très excited to be here with my boi noeul! for a quick rundown he is: 25, atlas, a cop but undercover rn so unless we plot it out, no one should know this fact! he’s actually what you might consider morally upright for the most part (in comparison to probably most of elysium), but boy has an aggressive streak that might change your mind about that. the duality of man. who knows, idk he just has a lot of issues, which you can find below the cut!

but yeah if you’re up for plotting with him and all, please shmash that like button and lets just jump into it 🤪

QUICK CURRENT FACTS

yall know the atlas personality thing? yeah that’s him

in adjectives he is: reserved, resilient, determined, selfless to a fault but also prideful, competitive, unforgiving, anxious, possessive

as mentioned above he does have an aggressive streak, read more on how that developed in his history, which he thought he managed to temper, but now being undercover and in the thick of everything, it's kinda hard to keep down

his undercover task is really just to bring dirt to his superiors, so they can use that info to blackmail or sell or of course give to the powers that be

so he's now usually found around the afterlife and ambrosia, pretending to be but a mere delivery boi

he's so very conflicted and confused internally and morally and everything in between, so he's kinda a hot mess kinda jumpy and defensive

but pls love him thanks xoxo

THE ABRIDGED HISTORY

( tw: child neglect / abandonment, death / implied murder )

like most of elysium, his family was dirt poor when he was born

so his dad, also a cop, turned dirty, accepting bribes and such for the $$$

long story short, his dad hates it, feels gross abt it but what can he do, becomes an angry alcoholic to cope w it, blames noeul for it directly to his face

mind you noeul's a small kid at this point, and he just takes it all quietly and takes care of his dad when he comes home blackout drunk at 3am

meanwhile, his mom just keeps withering away, so he's basically raising himself and his parents

and then some years later somehow his parents popped out another baby on accident?? so yea he got a little sister, and surprise surprise, she's not well cared for at all by their parents

so he ends up essentially being her parental figure, tryin to protect her from all the arguments and bs going on in the house, etc. etc.

eventually, his mom just ups and leaves, and then a few years after that, his dad dies during a "robbery gone wrong"

their aunt moves in with them to take care of them, but she's also pretty shit at being a parent soo noeul basically does everything again, finding odd jobs and etc.

so he didn't properly get to grieve about any of those big life changing events at all, and that all came to a boil a few years down the line

enter: his aggressive streak during his later teen years where he picked fights with ppl he had no right getting in fights with just to get all his anger out and to Feel

got really badly injured one time and when his sister ended up having to take care of him, he reminded himself of his dad and so he vowed to stop and clean up his act

which he did, and ended up getting into the police force, and blah blah, that's essentially where we are now

ETC.

regarding the whole revolution stuff: technically he is working against it right now, considering he is feeding back all his intel to his superiors, which then gets in the hands of the govt and whatever

buuut tbh he hates the state of elysium and what it did to his parents and his ideals really kind of align with the revolution more, so my hope is as he learns more about the cause and stuff, he'll likely turn

that's my original arc idea for him anyway, but at the moment he is just a beat cop just doing the work he's been given

so what i'm sayin is please help break him eheheh

Chapter 3: Journey to Despair, Grave Secrets, Grave Lies ~Post-Trial~

//And the end of chapter 3 is finally upon us! I hope you all enjoy I’ll start working on chapter 4 immediately, hope you all enjoy!

“Wowee! Three for three! You got it right once again, the one who punched a bunch of holes in Toson Shinko was none other than the Ultimate Thanatologist, Tsukiko Ishikawa!” Monokuma announced.

 “Please refrain from describing it in such a grotesque way.” Ishikawa-san said.

 Sly-san looked at Kurosaki-san, “You were right, huh? What the hell?”

 “What can I say? It’s just what happens.” Kurosaki-san shrugged nonchalantly. Whatever happened with Kurosaki-san’s plan is definitely suspicious, but for now…

 “I…just can’t really believe it…Ishikawa-san’s always been such a big help during the investigations and has helped everyone by supporting them, so…I don’t understand why. Why, of all people, did you end up killing someone?” Kurohiko-san asked.

 “The motive, obviously. Tsukiko-chan must have had a list of really important people in her life that she couldn’t afford to pick any of them.” Amaterasu-san said.

 “…I’m afraid that’s not my reasoning at all.” She admitted.

 “Huh?” Amaterasu-san cocked an eyebrow. Ishikawa-san’s shoulders slumped as she took a breath.

 “I’m afraid I did not have much time left with all of you. My body was destined to give out on me soon during our imprisonment here.” She said.

 “Wh…what the hell does that mean?” Okanaya-kun asked.

 “I am a corpse. My body is decaying. I am slowly returning to my eternal slumber. Why, only a few days ago, I found my hair falling out in clumps during a shower. I fear that if I stepped back into water, I would waste away…”

 “Now that I think about it, I suggested we all go to the pool after the motive reveal, but you seemed really against that idea…was that because…?”

 “I’m sorry, Kirishima-sama. I did not mean to hurt your feelings but snapping at you back then. At this point it matters not. My body shall be thrown away no matter what happens from here on. What a dreadfully awful result I’ve ended up in.” Ishikawa-san laughed to herself.

 “Why Herr Shinko…?” Kurosaki-san asked. Ishikawa-san stopped laughing almost immediately, “for all the time I sat and thought, I couldn’t come up with a reason as to why you decided he should die. I know you two didn’t get along, but was that really enough for someone like you…?”

 Ishikawa-san’s expression turning thoughtful for a moment before answering. “Shinko-sama was not…respectable. Unlike the rest of our group, Shinko-sama refused to ever reveal who he was to us. I loathe ingenuine people. If it were to be anyone, it would have to have been him. Life is a sacred thing, you see. Everyone in this room values life and lives their lives as well as they can. As someone who was lucky enough to be given a second chance, anyone who has no care for life infuriates me.”

 “I don’t get what you mean at all.” Kurohiko-san admitted.

 “Shinko-sama had no value for his life. Or anyone else’s. It was not a thing of importance in his eyes, that is what I mean to say.” Ishikawa-san clarified.

 “No, on a fundamental level I can get what you’re saying, but…I refuse to believe Shinko-kun was like that. Sure, he was abrasive and rude and a little selfish, but to suggest he had no care for his or anyone’s lives?! Isn’t that going too far?!”

 “Did any of us really know him though?” Graves-san suddenly spoke, “I mean…put your hand up if you would have said you and Toson were close.” Nobody moved, “so, none of us can really say Tsukiko is wrong about him. For all we know, he could have been selfish enough to not value our lives. Maybe he was getting ready to kill while he was hiding in his room all that time.”

 “There was no evidence of such a thing.” Asano-san argued.

 “So? You need hard evidence? What if he was calculating enough to do it all in his head? He’s a director, after all, it could have played out in his head like a movie.”

 “Graves-san…!” Asano-san’s fists balled up.

 “To think…it wasn’t even Monokuma’s motive that got you to kill someone. It’s so stupid, I could cry out of pity.” Graves-san laughed a little. What the hell? I’d never seen this side of her before. “Hey, Tsukiko…I’ve got to wonder about you and your little ‘zombie’ theory.”

 “I am not a zombie.” Ishikawa-san said.

 “Yeah, I know. Let me ask though, what do you think will happen to you next…? I mean, you already see yourself as dead. Don’t you? So, what does an execution mean for a walking corpse?”

 “Well, it means…that is…” Ishikawa-san stopped and frowned.

 “I mean, if you’re a conscious dead person, does that mean even if Monokuma crushes your body into paste, you’ll still be conscious? What are the rules for someone that’s been reanimated? Tell me. Tell me, please.”

 “Stop this, please.” Ishikawa-san shifted uncomfortably.

 “Tell me tell me tellmetellmetellme-“

 “STOP!!” Ishikawa-san suddenly shouted, “I…d-don’t you understand?! That’s why I had to get out! We…we don’t know how long we have been trapped in here, but I didn’t think much about that at the start! Th-then…my hair started falling out, it felt like my skin was becoming thin, like if I rubbed it, it would tear apart…it could only have been a matter of time before I was left as nothing, and then what would happen to my body?! I…I couldn’t waste away in here!”

 “Ah…hey, Nagata. Remember what Kirishima’s first motive said? The thing about the 8 days ending today? You don’t think…?”

 “It was your card, Ishikawa-san. Kirishima-san’s card was a time limit for how long you thought you had left before your body would waste away into nothing.” I concluded.

 “…so, that was my first motive…? My unfinished business? I didn’t even think of it. I just…wished to see the outside world one last time before my final departure…” Ishikawa-san clasped her hands together, a tear falling from one of her eyes.

 “I see, I see…well, even corpses gotta get their comeuppance, right?! Just cause you’re dead, doesn’t mean you’re exempt from consequences!” Monokuma suddenly chimed in.

 “It can’t be time already?!” Ishikawa-san gasped.

 “Now, let’s get to the main event! I’ve prepared a very special punishment for the Ultimate Thanatologist, Tsukiko Ishikawa!”

 She took a breath to calm herself. An expression of acceptance appearing on her face. “…I do hope to pass on properly this time, I suppose. Please do not allow me to linger or revive again, I do not deserve another chance.” Ishikawa-san sighed, bringing her hands close to her chest, “I’ll offer up a final prayer. For Shinko-sama’s soul…and hopefully my own.”

 “Let’s give it everything we’ve got! Iiiiiit’s PUNISHMENT TIME!!!”

 “…Memento Mori…”

 -Game Over- -Tsukiko Ishikawa has been found Guilty!- -Commencing Execution-

 The monitor turned on after Ishikawa-san had been dragged away in the same manner Kibe-san and Hachi-san had been and displayed Ishikawa-san laying down in a black coffin holding a bouquet of white flowers. A headstone sitting right behind the coffin.

 -Tsukiko Ishikawa's execution: Black Thread Hell-

 Monokuma appears next to the open casket with a black marker and proceeds to wildly scribble black lines across Ishikawa-san’s body, arms, and legs, along with a moustache and glasses on her face, before slamming it shut. From inside the coffin a large rumbling noise can be heard, Ishikawa-san waits until the rumbling dies down before trying to move. She wipes away the marker on her face and opens up the coffin, only to find herself in a hell-like place with huge jagged mountains and trees.

 As she looks around, a huge Asura-looking creature approaches her from behind, armed with swords and axes. She climbs out and runs, with the Asura swinging at her, but always seeming to miss. She runs through black trees and thorn bushes, and jumps a jagged rock, where it looks like she's safe. However, as she takes a step forward, she realizes her leg is bleeding along one of the black lines. As she reaches down to examine it, one of her fingers fall off.

 In a moment of confusion, terror and elation, Tsukiko looks down to see blood seeping out of all the lines. Her left hand drops off at the wrist, then her right arm midway down, then all of it above the elbow. As she tries to take another step forward, her lower leg drops off at the knee. She collapses into a pile of meat slices, organs, and blood.

-

“Uuuu….urrrgg…bleugh!” Kirishima-san collapsed in the corner; the sound of her vomiting made my stomach turn. Ishikawa-san…there’s no way she deserved to go so brutally. Kibe-san and Hachi-san weren’t exactly executed tamely, but this felt on a whole other level…

 “G-good god…” Yokozawa-san covered his mouth, his face earning a green tint. It seems most of us were feeling the same way. This was too much.

 “Monokuma. What the hell was that? Even for you, that seemed graphic.” Sly-san demanded.

 “Hmm? I dunno what you mean. If anything, I think it’s pretty in-line with what she did to Shinko, don’t you? I mean, those other two just stabbed and bashed but this girl threw him in an iron maiden! That’s some real crazy stuff there! It’s only fitting an execution be just as horrifying as the murder, right?!”

 “This really is just a joke to you, isn’t it?!” Okanaya-kun spat.

 “No way. I’m taking this seriously. I’m taking this more seriously than anyone else.” Monokuma said.

 “Eheheh…hahahah…” Graves-san covered her mouth trying to laugh, “geez. This really is a far cry from Maemi getting stabbed in the back- literally. Now people are getting sliced into piles of mush, piece by piece…I don’t wanna end up like that. I don’t wanna end up like that at all.”

 “Graves-san…”

 “Ah, Junpei, don’t worry. I won’t kill you. You and I are friends! You’re pretty much the only person I have a little trust left in at this point. Even then it’s thin. Saori showed us you can’t trust the quiet ones, Tomoe showed you can’t trust your friends, Tsukiko just showed you can’t even trust those who try to be helpful. Anyone could stab us in the back at any moment.” Graves-san smirked. “Scaaaaary.”

 “This is an unexpected change in your behaviour. Is this your survival instincts kicking in, I wonder?” Kurosaki-san said.

 “Ah, who know? If anything, you’re the one I trust the least. What was it Sly was saying earlier about you, huh? That you just seemed to know things…what was that all about? Are you some secret psychic?” Graves-san got closer to Kurosaki-san until they were staring at each other, faces inches apart. “I wanna learn all your secrets. Will you give me the chance?”

 “Knock yourself out. But I’d rather die than let you learn anything about me.” Kurosaki-san smiled.

 “Careful what you wish for~” Graves-san half-cheered, “Ah! But I’m suuuuper tired! Hey, Monokuma is it okay to leave now that the execution is done? I gotta get some serious Z’s for tomorrow! I wonder what’ll happen?”

 “Hmm? Oh, yeah. You guys are dismissed. I gotta go find a mop and bucket.” Monokuma waved goodbye as he headed down the hall to the execution room.

 “Oh, Junpei! We gotta grab breakfast tomorrow so I’ll meet with you a little after the morning announcement. Cool?”

 “Y-yeah…cool.” Yokozawa-san nodded nervously. Graves-san flashed a bright, almost innocent smile and skipped to the elevator, taking the ride back up alone.

 “She’s dangerous.” Amaterasu-san said almost immediately.

 “Hey now…” Yokozawa-san tried.

 “W-we should tie her up, just in case! I’m worried about her after she said all that. Should we even trust somebody that’s got a talent like Ultimate Secret Agent…? She’s definitely gonna be able to kill without hesitation.” Kurohiko-san said.

 “You’re saying that as if the Ultimate Assassin isn’t in the room.” Yokozawa-san argued.

 “You ever seen Sly genuinely threaten someone so happily like that?! That bitch is off her fuckin’ nut!” Okanaya-kun shot back.

 “Shut up! You were the one that threatened everybody in the early days, and now you have the nerve to judge someone else?! None of you even know her! She’s probably just as scared as everybody else but you just wanna all focus your own fear on an easy target!” Yokozawa-san snapped.

 “H-hey now…”

 “You’re the worst for it, Nagata-kun. Y-you…you never do anything to help out, but as soon as a murder happens, you’re some big hero?! Don’t screw with me! Why…why do you get to be a hero when you don’t even have a talent…?”

 “The fuck’re you talkin’ about?! Nagata’s the Ultimate Lucky Student!” Okanaya-kun argued.

 “He doesn’t seem very lucky to me. Then again, didn’t you say your talent affects the people around you…? So, answer me this then. Why the fuck are we all stuck in here if you’re so goddamn lucky? Why have we had to watch people die over and over and over again if you’re supposed to bring us all good fortune…?” Yokozawa-san’s hands were balled up into trembling fists. “I…w-wanna go home already…! Just let me go home now…!”

 “I…I don’t know…I don’t know why this keeps happening.” I admitted. He’s right. What good is my talent if we’re in this situation. How can I even call myself the Ultimate Lucky Student?

 “Of course you don’t. God, if you died at least the situation would make a little more sense-“

 WHAP!

 We all stood stunned. Yokozawa-san stumbled back, holding onto his cheek where Kirishima-san had hit. Her eyes were welling up, her hand, the palm slightly red, was shaking so violently she had to hold it with her other hand.

 “Don’t say that, please…we shouldn’t be fighting like this…not after what just happened.” She pleaded. “It’s not Nagata-kun’s fault…it’s not Graves-san’s fault. It’s nobody’s fault except Monokuma’s! So we shouldn’t be standing here trying to pin the blame on anybody.”

 “R-Ram-san…”

 “It’s Kirishima.” She corrected, wiping the traces of tears. “Yokozawa-kun, please keep an eye on Graves-san for us. You’re the only one she’ll trust right now. We need to get our group back together. We need teamwork.”

 “She is right. The fighting and blaming will not improve our situation.” Asano-san agreed. “So…let us reconvene tomorrow, yes? There will most likely be a new building for us to search, so it will be the opportune time for us to rebuild our relationships. Even if it must be from scratch.”

 “Yeah…that’s fine.” I said, glancing at Yokozawa-san. He was refusing to even look in my direction. I’ll need to try and talk to him tomorrow.

 “Then…let us head back.” Asano-san said.

 -Chapter 2, Post Trial, Ryuu-

 I sat laid there and stared at my ceiling, going over Yokozawa-san’s words in my mind. I never thought about it now. Everyone without fail had been blessed by good luck when I was around them, so why not now…? Why was this the moment my talent was deciding to fail me? Can talents just stop?

 “Is something wrong with me?” I wondered aloud, sitting up in my bed. I didn’t feel any different. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the motive card. My motive. I just figured Monokuma would come and collect them himself after the motive was over, but I guess not. I shook my head, taking the motive card and throwing it in the trash.

 I never had to think of this awful motive again. I don’t have to think about what would’ve happened if Shinko-san wasn’t killed. Shinko-san was killed, so everyone on that card was safe.

 “Oh god…” I internally gasped, “why am I thinking like that…?” This game has really taken its toll. Or maybe… “Am I a bad person…?”

 -Chapter 2, Post Trial, Yuuki-

 “Ah…this is frustrating. I figured someone would break by this point, but for it to be Mademoiselle Graves is really…problematic.” Yuuki said. Sly tapped his foot annoyedly waiting for Yuuki to finish lamenting the situation. With a defeated huff, Yuuki crossed his arms and mimicked Sly’s standing position, slightly mockingly.

 “You said you would tell me the truth if I helped you out. Now, are you going to go through with that promise or not?” Sly asked.

 “You’re so impatient. You have no respect for suspense, or perhaps you just really hate spending time with me.”

 “Do you want me to answer that?”

 “Mean!” Yuuki pointed overdramatically. “If you’re gonna be so mean, I’ll never reveal anything to you!”

 “Oi…” Sly warned, a hand in his pocket.

 “Oh please, I know all you have is that dog tag.”

 “Then I’ll beat you up with my fists.” Sly cracked his knuckles, edging towards Yuuki.

 “Fine, fine.” Yuuki lifted up his shirt and pulled out a small journal with a leather cover that was tucked away on his waistline. “…I hope you realise the risks you’re taking by getting yourself involved with this.”

 “I am. You said we can end the killing game if we work together.”

 “Yes, that’s still my hypothesis. If you’re completely sure, then go ahead and read this journal. Read how the rest of this killing game goes…” Yuuki presented Sly with the journal.

 And Sly took it.

Making an mini-episode which largely depicts Neji’s tragic backstory and centring its ending on Hinata seems like an odd angle to take

 “I’m alone. I don’t have anyone, but I never cry” NARUTOOOOO

KJHFKJHG THIS NINJA BASEBALL OUTRO I LOVE IT 

SASUKE USING HIS SHARINGAN TO CHEAT AT BASEBALL I WHEEZE

Also not that I don’t like Genma but why is he a central figure in this ending. Has he had more than a single conversation with Naruto in his life

Lmao @ Sasuke and Itachi’s child versions going back to having their adult voices. Pick a lane SP!!!

“Things in season are always cheap and tasty” “Oh, is that so, Sasuke? Hahaha” Sasuke learning about the ninja economy

“We’re going to visit your mother’s family” Two questions: 1) Aren’t your families the same family (eep) and 2) Don’t they all live in the same part of the village

90% of this dialogue is recycled from prior episodes except delivered more slowly and it’s a little confusing 

Itachi sure knows a lot about cooking for an eleven-year-old 

Sasuke being a clumsy child is such a cute character detail ahhhh I love him so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

“[Confused laughter] You want to be like me?” What a Mood Itachi

Sakura’s hideout in the woods is so sweet yes 2 semi-normal childhoods

Poor little Sakura already concerned about her appearance they never let girls live do they

“You’re really cute Sakura, don’t hide it” Ino and Sakura are the most adorable children in the WORLD I love their relationship 4ever

“If she’s cute like you say, then I would love to meet her” who will stop all men

“But Ino, aren’t you good friends with Sakura?” “No, not really” Okay not to project but. I have a lot of thoughts on this narrative 

GASP Inner Sakura’s first appearance!!

Tiny Team 7 is all I need in the world honestly I would watch a whole show that was just those three growing up

I have only just now noticed Suigetsu as third baseman. This ninja baseball game and season in general raise so many questions

Noooo Gaara don’t cry you are gonna be so loved in the future

Rasa, can I just say, from the bottom of my heart, I’m going to yeet you into the sun

“When I look up at the sky, the pain inside my heart feels a little bit better” He’s like 4!!!!!!! >:(

“Instead of a mother, you get to have me, Lord Gaara” Yashamaru: Self-Diagnosed Mumncle 

Ngl baby Gaara’s recollection of Karura is nothing like she looked like

I really don’t care for this new Iruka voice I just keep listening to him like ‘that’s not the sound of Naruto’s dad!!’

I will admit him spooking the sleeping children was cute I don’t know why I always find that so funny kjhgkjhg

“Let me buy into this fight” who taught seven-year-old Naruto to gamble

Christ alive the implication that Naruto has been doing the sexy jutsu since he was seven who will put this boy in ninja therapy

If Orochimaru had just continued to be Jiraiya’s long-suffering friend he might be half-endearing but alas he is fecal matter personified 

“Come on out, I made plenty, so you might as well stay and eat” Hjgjfjgfgffg I’m not sure what’s funnier about this scene the implication that Obito and Rin both independently followed Kakashi home without noticing each other, or that Kakashi did notice and rather than question this turn of events was just like “Guess I should make more fish”

“When you’re older, do you think you’ll become a chef” I would pay to see the AU where Kakashi becomes a professional chef why couldn’t that have been his Road to Ninja persona 

Ngl I spent the first half of Kakashi’s minisode wondering if Sakumo was dead or simply too depressed to take care of Kakashi and I think dead is the less upsetting outcome 

“It’s no fun when you’re not around, Kakashi” Obitooooooooooooooo

I’m not saying it’s suspicious that Sakumo is given two different depictions of his grave site in the anime but Sakumo fucked an alien and I stand by that statement 

All I remember from Sasuke Shinden is that a character called Sasuke “Sassy” as a nickname and if they do that in the Eng dub I won’t survive

“[Deep sigh] Alright Sakura, what is it?” Fhfjhfkjh what’s your damage Kakashi can’t your kids come to visit when people start exploding

God Sakura and Ino’s relationship is the realest.... she went to the Hokage bc her gal was worried abt her family friend and then comforted her from her loss... the looooooooove

Hinata not to devalue your work in any way but why did u collapse after poking one (1) man in the chakra point isn’t gentle fist based in taijutsu

Fhjfhkjhf I’ve seen that gif before of Kakashi knowing that Sakura was thinking about Sasuke but it’s still funny

Sasuke just hanging in the woods with kittycats what kinda redemption journey is this lmao

Ehehehe I’m still not over the fact that Sasuke recognizes Sai’s jutsu and Kakashi uses it to communicate like there are six members of team 7 and this arc PROVES IT HELL YEAH

I can’t believe I forgot the circus ninja oh my god 

“There’s good money to be found for performers like us” MOVE OVER EXPLODING HUMANS WHERE’S MY EPISODE ABOUT THE NINJA CIRCUS 

Everyone always commenting on the pupils and sclera of the Hyuga and Uchiha but nobody caring about Old Man Demon Eyes from the Bamboo Village:

You’d think at this point no amount of genjutsu could traumatize Sasuke 

They’re leaning wholeheartedly into the ninja cowboy music

That is not how I thought they would pronounce “Sassy” this show is full of twists and turns

“What about reviving the Uchiha clan? You’re the lone survivor right?” said Chino, inquiring about when Sasuke was planning to have vaginal sex

“You really think you’re going to find him inside that seriously scary looking cave?” GASP IT’S TENZO TIME

AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE IT’S MY BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

“You’re Sasuke, right?” asked Yamato, as if Sasuke had not provided the memorable introduction of stabbing a seasoned ANBU in the shoulder as a sixteen-year-old during a dramatic reunion with his team

“It would be easier for us to keep things coordinated, if you sent us progress reports as you went...” Okay not to be that gal but I love that Tenzo and Kakashi are an “us” in this mini-lecture about how Sasuke should call his father (Kakashi) more often

P sure that’s Yamato’s last speaking role goodbye sweet man we knew ye well

“So does this mean that you trust me?” GO TO JAIL OROCHIMARU

Every time that Orochimaru touches Sasuke I want to leap through the screen you leave that boy alone!!! Go! To! Jail!

Sasuke having to explain his social life to Taka is a dynamic I never knew I needed. What more do I want from Naruto than frames like this:

"By showing everyone that Sasuke isn’t in the Hidden Leaf Village and that he’s still out journeying around the world, it reduces the possibility that the village will be harmed” “So are you saying that Sasuke has to keep travelling forever” “That might be so” I can’t believe the entirety of Taka came up with a better explanation for Sasuke staying outside Konoha than Kishimoto himself

“Compared to me, the likelihood that Kabuto will return to evil is extremely low”

He still helped kill......... 40,000 people????? Okay dude

I CAN’T BELIEVE OROCHIMARU IS ACKNOWLEDGING HE IS STILL EVIL!!!! GO TO JAIL!!

I’m gonna pretend I don’t see Tenzo following Stranger Danger and he’s on vacation on a beach where he belongs

Fhjkhfkjhfkj what’s the meaning of this Orochimaru you’ve looked the same since you were 25:

Sasuke: No. She’s older than I am

Orochimaru: [Soft gasp] What?

Man I remember vaguely Sasuke being involved in this fight based on the Tenzo novel scene later on but hoo boy I do not like this

SCREAMMMM TENZO TRYING TO PROTECT PPL IN THE AREA HE’S HELPING

“I can’t make direct contact with him, so I better go now” I hope it is because you filed a restraining order, Yamato

“To increase the rarity, what I’ve even done is, had all but one person in a clan killed” at this point En Oyashiro is just trying to bait Sasuke

God I love how righteous Sasuke is being rn like this is the kind of dismantling of oppression I wanted for him instead of sad murder times

This battle is bonkers:

Villain: Looks like you brought a sword to a dodgeball fight

Sasuke: Looks like you brought a dodgeball to a magic eyes fight!!

Well I certainly breezed past this part of Sasuke Shinden hello Fushin

I find it hard to believe that anyone but Naruto could best Sasuke rn 

I keep joking that those eyes in the sky look like Tenzo but I’m right and I should say it

What a long, drawn-out and slightly suspicious backstory for Chino (looking at you, Fushin of two personality types)

“But now you’re still able to travel freely... and that is all because you have people who love and protect you” Team 7 cutaway with closeups of Sakura and Naruto, Narusasusaku game strong

“For the Leaf’s nourishment, your entire clan was absorbed by your village’s Roots” wow what a shitty time for such an excellent pun

Unbelievable kkhkjhfk and by this I mean completely believable:  

Chino: Please explain your change of heart re: village corruption

Sasuke: I got a boyfriend

Unbelievable x2:

Chino: KILL ME 

Sasuke: Consider this.... you have.... boy who is friend. Good enough

Chino: Wow Sasuke, you’re right

Lmao @ Kakashi proudly announcing that Sasuke is about to enter an unsanctioned jutsu fight in a bet to free enslaved people how did this letter go “Dear Hokage-dad-Kakashi, I am writing to inform you...”

Even funnier: If Tenzo wrote the letter bc Sasuke is shite at contacting people: “Dear Kakashi-senpai, Brace yourself to be worried and proud—”

“Are you Sasuke’s...” yes Chino, whatever the end of that sentence is, you’re correct

Huh I could’ve sworn at least a good chunk of these freed people go to the Leaf. I didn’t make that conversation up. I have discussed it many times!!! My poor Tenzo cut out for more logical story lines I guess 

Omggggggg the Raikage is telling Sasuke about Naruto’s most vulnerable Sasuke moment..... the love!!! Is this the only reason they invited A lmao

En Oyashiro joining Rasa and Hiashi in the Bad Dad Club

I’ve said this before but Naruto and Sakura going on a date to talk about Sasuke is the most legit representation for their relationship I’ve ever seen that’s it that’s what them dating would be like 

“You’re just like a one man police force” lol @ them cutting out the fact that Sakura said this bc Sakura’s not allowed to have individual connections to Sasuke and also just like....... how much Sasuke still wants to be a cop kjhgkjhgk baby stop

I’ve belatedly realized that Kakashi types to the beat of the intro music and it makes me giggle

“The adult world can be complicated” is that ur way of saying ‘nepotism’ Kakashi

“I’m startin’ to get a belly” “I don’t want to hear about all that” PLS

“You two are really the only ones who are special to me” aw Shikamaru

That slap was A  Lot, Temari, surely there are better ways to tell Shikamaru you want him to be your boyfriend

“You don’t really think that Sai has—” “Well, he is very innocent.” 

Kakashi about Sai: He’s the baby of the family

Sai: I’m the oldest and most experienced of all the youth???

Kakashi: I mark ur ages by when I got you xoxo ur legal age is 3

I’m not sure that that’s the intonation I expected for Hinoko but I guess that’s on me for stereotyping teen girls hahah

“That’s my ninja way” “Our ninja way” I feel like this is shinobi flirtation

The outro with Little Team 7 fading to Big Team 7... I have but one heart

Also the implication that they took a photo immediately post war jhgkjhgkj. Kakashi still has a barely healed stab wound and twenty years of trauma. Sasuke and Naruto both just lost an arm. Also who brought a camera to the battlefield. Who took this picture. (Tenzo waking up from a 224 episode coma: We gotta take a family photo)

“You might consider yourself a member of Team 7, but I wonder if they think the same of you” [Naruto voice] Believe it!!!!!!

“If we just kill the lookouts, it’ll be like easy to get past the checkpoint” okay calm down Soku

Lmao Shikamaru struggling to deal with rebellious teens jhghjkg why are the anime episodes I watch so fitting to my own life

Man not to get 2 real it’s fucked up that Soku fears peace wyd militarism 

I don’t really believe that Soku is deserting the village but it’s a good tactic

[Panning to the bird scene at the beginning of this arc] We call that foreshadowing

Komori’s judgement seems to be clouded by his lowkey crush on Soku

“I’ve just been having these really bizarre dreams lately” that’s PTSD Shikamaru

“Feudal lords are always [tyrants] no matter where you go” then why.... do you have.... feudalism.......... [Tobirama screams in the afterlife]

Not to judge these guys so much but like.... ur ANBU and a veteran ninja surely you should have a disguise after faking your death??????? Kakashi, Iruka, what shinobi standards are you teaching exactly?? U didn’t even change ur hairstyles???

“Something similar happened to me as well” what are you... are you talking about when you pretended to be asleep during the Chunin exams because that’s not the same thing as sleeping under a pile of corpses Shikamaru 

NOOOOOOOOOO SAI WHY ARE THEY HANGING MY ANGEL FROM A CRUCIFIX 

AHHHHHHH I don’t like seeing Sai like this, Kakashi’s right he’s a baby!!

“Let’s just say I’ve found the place where I belong” Fhdjskhfksjhf this is definitely Root Code for something because Kakashi uses this line on Tenzo in his Tsukuyomi dream

“Then why didn’t Naruto come to get me? You and I have never been particularly close, so why were you the one who came here?” LMAO SAI ‘you’re not on my list of eligible rescuers Shikamaru 😒😒😒😒’ 

“Fret not, to me this is but a trifle” said Ro, lying prostrate on the ground in between groans of pain (same)

I mean... Gengo makes some pretty compelling arguments abt the shinobi system

“The alliance of nations that the Leaf is currently a part of... is only going to maintain a dark, tenuous peace” I mean... Gengo’s right even if he is a dick

“Lord Hokage told me everything... and I had a hell of a time getting it out of him too” “I don’t want to know what you did... I don’t even want to imagine it” JHGKJHGKJHG I WANNA SEE TEMARI INTERROGATING A FORMER ANBU, KAGE-LEVEL NINJA I LOVE IT

Wait are these last twelve outros dedicated to each of the rookie teams + Team Guy bc that would be adorable

JHGJHGGHGJHG DO WE ACTUALLY GET TO SEE TEMARI YELL AT KAKASHI

Update from 3 seconds later: We don’t but Kakashi’s “Euh?” sound as she knocks down his door is still very funny

“Friendship is useless” “If that’s true, then why are you crying right now” he’s been taking Sasuke lessons in his spare time

“Do you know of a man named ‘Zabuza Momochi’” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“These are my only friends” said Sai, about two giant cartoon lions 

Sai’s genjutsu scene was actually much sweeter in the book bc Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi and Yamato’s chakra were all protecting him inside his own mind but I don’t mind my boy getting a hug

HAHAHAHAHA WHAT IS THIS CUTAWAY TO NARUTO BATHED IN GOLDEN LIGHT ANNOUNCING “RAMEN” LIKE IT’S A WHOLE SENTENCE OKAY STUDIO PIERROT U NEED A BREAK I GET IT

“What in the hell was that?” that was also my question Shikamaru

Shikamaru with full conviction: To be lazy.... that is my dream 

Hahahaha it’s Ninja Teen Romance Hours I guess

“Oh, you don’t want to [go out on a date]?” No that’s not what I’m saying” [walks away] TEMARI PLS

“Going on a date without a strategy, would be like trying to fight a tailed beast unarmed” [Nodding] “You have zero chance of winning, that way” I suddenly understand Kakashi’s dating life a lot more

They really rely on you being aware of Naruto the Last huh gjkhgkjhgk there’s been no mention in any of this filler of Naruto and Hinata even being in a relationship to this point as far as I remember

Fhjkfhkjhfkfh poor Iruka none of the kids know he’s President of the Naruto’s Dad Society

“I know I’m supposed to be striving to get ahead in my career, but there’s also a part of me that really wants to just continue teaching kids, one on one” Irukaaaaa <3333333

Looool even as Hokage, Kakashi just drops out of nowhere to give cryptic life advice and then leaves

Smash the statue, Tsukune, don’t let the establishment tell u what to do!!

“Eating ramen everyday isn’t healthy you know” am I to believe that Kakashi, the man who told Naruto, ‘if you're going to be a ninja, you need to eat your vegetables’ is on a ramen-only diet?? Falsehoods

“And it’s all thanks to you Iruka” khjhgkjhgjhg alright.... you win this round KKIR shippers

WHO IS ANIMATING THIS SCENE IT IS BUCKWILD??? There is no character model to speak of, most of the kids don’t have noses, everyone’s upside down or spinning around, and Iruka is... hiding in a frog sign???

There is no English translation of this caption???? EXPLAIN JAPAN. TELL ME YOUR FROG SECRETS YOU KNOW I LOVE FROGS [INSERT PICTURE OF TENZO HERE]

(Update I looked it up in the sub and the caption offers no more insight. “IRUKA UMINO, AROUND 30 YEARS OLD. STEALTHILY”)

“This is for Hinata, so let’s all try our hardest” Kiba loves Hinata MOST

You know how if you pause in the middle of an animated action, you sometimes linger on an in-between image that looks goofy because it was meant to add to the motion rather than be focused on? This whole episode is animated like one of those images

It’s okay Lee the only dumbbell Naruto is fixated on is Sasuke Uchiha

I know don’t usually post so many images in these liveblogs, but I really need anyone reading this to see the Leaf Village’s semi-canonical Unofficial Mascot Konorin:

He is??? The love of my life???

“I don’t even have a boyfriend and train every day from morning til night” yes you do. His name is Neji Hyuga and he’s very alive and he’s a jonin sensei and he will buy you all the knives you want after he takes all of Hiashi’s money and redistributes it. In this essay I will—

You see what I mean??? Neji wants to be there for Tenten (and Lee)!!!

Tenten: What would Neji do if he were here now

Neji: [starts manifesting]

“It’s you since you’re a taijutsu specialist, but Naruto and Hinata aren’t” yes????? Hinata is???? She doesn’t use weapons but Gentle Fist is entirely taijutsu??? Why does everyone keep forgetting

KHKGJHKJHGKFHKJHFKJ I CAN’T GET OVER NEJI JUST. MANIFESTING ABOVE LEE’S BED TO GIVE HIM SHITTY WEDDING GIFT IDEAS 

“And don’t forget: Hyuga” Neji........ what.... does this mean!!!!!!!!

Why say “Neji” like that Orochimaru and in fact why say anything at all [Konan voice] I’m the Hokage now, the entire criminal justice system is on its way you are going to jail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really can’t believe that the Naruto writers looked at Tenzo’s role in Naruto SD and decided “let’s do that.... but worse” 

They animated?????????? A smaller Lee??????????? Into Lee’s mouth???????????? As if the animation style wasn’t enough. I need a minute

They are really going full Naruto SD huh??? Cut away skit like a ‘genjutsu’ scne. Lee and Guy playing a married couple and Tenten a baby. Neji in drag. This is a choice

“How can you misunderstand Neji so much” “Even if it’s only as a ghost, I’m sure that Neji would appear” I need. Several minutes

Fhjkhfkjfh Shikamaru’s vision of Gaara, Bee, Kakashi and Tsunade hanging out at this fancy restaurant. Is this who he thinks Kakashi’s social circle is these days (he might be right)

“Okay, I’ll hear you out!” Is this implication of this scene that Temari thinks Shikamaru’s idea of a first date is marriage... and she’s WILLING TO GO ALONG WITH THAT. TEMARI PLS

“Hey Ino, why would you go out of your way to make something I love? Bc she looooves you Sakura

“Sakura, I thought the same thing” GOD JUST GET MARRIED

“It’ll be too late once we go in, I could get all caught up in the mood or something like that” wait........ does Temari think Shikamaru wants to get married or fuck???? Or both??? OH MY GOD

Gaara: Naruto’s getting married.... without meeeeeeeeeee

God I love Gaara’s Blank Period hair it is truly careless and happy hair

“His ramen’s extravagent?” JKGHKHKJH everyone in the Leaf Village trying to convince Gaara that Naruto’s taste is incredibly obnoxious which is true but not in the way being described 

Kankuro what’s your damage let Gaara buy a nice and personal present for the love of his life 

Every time I think this arc can’t get more ridiculous it exceeds my expectations:

[Vaguely horrified accompanying dialogue: “The Raikage—” “—Will do the Hidden Cloud Dance?”]

“Well then, Gaara is just going to have to do the Hidden Sand Samba” Ah. Of course. The Hidden Sand Samba. Why didn’t anyone think of this plan before

Gaara is blushing because his new dream is just to samba dance with Naruto into the night

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Teuchi giving Naruto an “all you can eat forever” coupon that’s cute our sweet boy is so loved 

Gaara: My wedding gift to you, Naruto... is me :)

“I’m just disappointed that we aren’t going to get to see you dance, Gaara” you know what that’s fair Kankuro me too 

Hahahaha Shino dissing Kiba’s plight for becoming Hokage to these random kids

I can’t pay attention to anything this ninja cat is saying because they’ve got Naruto’s voice and it is very distracting

There’s something to be curious about how it would be if Kiba married into a family that has a contract with the Uchiha lmao

Literally the girl who Kiba is supposed to be in love with is given Hinata’s voice #kibahinarights

“Oh, just take it. Money means nothing to me” the Beekeeper is truly one of the strangest characters in the Naruto universe just conceptually. Why are they wearing a giant bee stinger on their butt?

LMAO @ Kiba having absolutely no self-doubt whatsoever. Goals!!

Shino becoming a teacher after the war is actually one of the post-699 futures I like, good for him!

Iruka sweet man Naruto has compared you to a father like 1500 times have you not overheard him one (1) time

Kakashi is such a dumb stubborn bitch trying to find a way for Naruto to have a happy wedding... I love him

“This is my fault, I never taught him how to treat women! Not that I even really know about that kind of thing of course” Iruka Umino confirmed canonically gay

“I just have to bow my head a little” KKIR: 2; Me: 0

I love this tradition of Hokage boys bowing their heads for cooperation between villages yesssssssssssss

Outro for the whole OG Team 7.... I’m fine everything’s fine I’m good cool cool cool cool cool

The implication that they just sell Kakashi wigs in the village... amazing

I know this is about to be an emotionally poignant moment but what Naruto’s presence is reminding is that the only word he has said in the past 6 episodes is “ramen” LMAO

“I’m going to have to apologize to her for raising you as a such a thoughtless, inconsiderate man” raising you... RAISING YOU..................... TRULY PRESIDENT OF THE NARUTO’S DAD SOCIETY GOD BLESS IRUKA UMINO

LOOK AT THIS CRYBABY NINJA THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PARTS OF KONOHA HIDEN WAS HOW IRUKA KEPT BURSTING INTO TEARS OVER NARUTO EVERY OTHER MINUTE THIS IS WHAT BONDS LOOK LIKE

God..................... the Team 7 lover in me just despairs of this final episode bc they’re all separated and also Tenzo needs justice 4 being Kakashi’s co-wedding planner it’s in the book I read it!!!!

I will set aside my feelings to recognize that Kakashi looks very handsome

Goodbye Naruto you were certainly an experience and I mean that in every possible intonation 

[ua-monoma]

.05.27.

8:45 PM

ua-monoma

... I hope you're alright...

@ua-momo

... I think I’ll be fine in the long run.

I just... Wish that it wasn’t brought up again like this, haha...

It’s just something I can’t help but be a little self-conscious about. I mean, I don’t know why Todoroki-san ended our relationship... But I...

I’d really like to think that me being a “prude” isn’t the reason why... And I know he said that it has nothing to do with it but...

I can’t help but wonder...

ua-monoma

...

What... did Todoroki-kun end up saying...? When it happened, I mean...

ua-momo

You... Know how Todoroki-san is...

He had been... Distant for a while. And then when we finally sat down to talk about it, he just told me that he needed some time. For himself. Away from me.

And I thought that maybe... Maybe that was a normal thing in a relationship. Todoroki-san was my first love, after all, haha...

But he avoided me for a month. We didn't really talk again until Tokoyami-san's party---if you could even count that as /talking/--- and with all the drama that happened with the Halloween party and the lockdown event... I suppose that I just eventually came to terms with the fact that our break up was just something that we'd... Never really talk about.

And I thought that... Maybe I could be okay with that... It really hurt at the time, you know... Feeling like I had lost my best friend... But I was able to talk to new people and make new friends... Even if Todoroki-san and I aren't close anymore, at least we can be in the same room without me feeling absolutely miserable, you know? I thought that maybe I'd be fine if we never really talked about it... But now I...

Now I can't help but wonder if asking for "alone time" was his way of sparing my feelings... Maybe I really am too boring and he wanted to move on to more exciting and interesting people...

After all, I'm just...

...

I don't really compare to a lot of the others at U.A. in terms of experience or intrigue... And Todoroki-san was always a little out of my league, so it would make sense if he had just gotten bored of me and wanted to put me down gently... Haha...

I'm sorry for dumping all of this on you... I've never really been able to talk to someone about what happened between us and I guess I just...

I'm sorry for burdening you, Monoma-kun...

ua-monoma

...

Don't say that... You know how I feel about people putting words in my mouth. I will never, ever think of you as a burden, alright...?

My God.... haha...

I didn't realize it was that bad....

How shitty of him. You don't deserve that... You really don't.

I'm not exaggerating when I say you're one of the best in your class, if not the best. That's not something I'd ever lie about.

....

God. The absolute NERVE... What a bastard...

Yaoyorozu, listen to me. You really shouldn't let the actions of a haughty little prick rule over you and your feelings... :/ Because I do know what Todoroki-kun is like. He doesn't know anything about being a decent person, he's a confused little twit who probably thought it was just easier to avoid the matter, hoping it'd all evaporate into smoke.

This makes me so mad...

You'll find someone better, okay? I promise you. :/ I'm glad you're finally getting the chance to let this out... It must've been awful keeping it inside for so long....

ua-momo

Monoma-kun... I can’t begin to express how much your words mean to me...

I know that... He’s not a bad person. And that he’s gone through a lot that I don’t know about... But that he tries. A lot. Especially when he cares about something.

So I guess that part of me just feels silly for caring about him so, so much when we were together, now that I realize that he didn’t care as much about me... But another part of me feels like it’s my fault for not doing more... That maybe if I had been a better girlfriend, a better person he would have just... Naturally cared more...

But I guess that’s just not how the world works, aha...

I’m... Certainly not the best of my class—no matter how desperately I want to believe your kind words. That honor belongs to Midoriya-san or Bakugou-san... It belongs to Todoroki-san...

And I guess I just. Felt so, so lucky when someone like Todoroki-san started dating someone like me—someone who’s certainly not on his level but really wishes she could be... It really.... It really made me believe that I was doing the right thing by deciding to become a hero and studying at U.A....

And now I just... With all that’s gone on, I can’t help but wonder...

...

Ah... Can I... Can I tell you a secret?

ua-monoma ...S-sure...

ua-momo

Well... Following the League’s video about what happened during Lockdown, my family pulled me out of U.A. for a bit because of safety concerns... I watched the press conference with my family and there was something that Aizawa Sensei said that really struck me...

“If you’re scared of pain, of kidnap and of death and even quirklessness, then we don’t want you.”

And the truth is, I’m... I’m really, really scared of those things... I didn’t realize how scared I was until... Until it all happened...

And I told myself that maybe it would be okay—that I would become stronger as long as I worked harder... That I’d overcome all that hardship with all of you, my friends, and we’d go on to be great pro heroes together...

But when I heard Aizawa Sensei say that...

...

The idea of... The idea of not being wanted...

The idea of not being wanted anymore by Todoroki-san... Of not being wanted anymore by U.A....

Haha... It’s so... Awful and childish of me to be so dependent on others like that but I... ... My grandfather said something to me too, right before my parents agreed to let me return to U.A... And it’s made me think that... Maybe I’m not meant to be here.

Maybe... No matter how hard I try... I just won’t be able to change myself to become the sort of person that people want—that society wants...

And maybe... Maybe I shouldn’t have to change...

I... Ah... Haven’t told anyone about any of this yet because I don’t want them to be concerned or try to talk me out of it but...

Once this school year ends, I’m thinking about dropping out of U.A.

ua-monoma

... What?

Seriously...?

... Momo... You know that I have the utmost respect for you. Or, at least, I hope you do. I hope that's something I've made...perfectly clear...

So I won't-

I'll-...  try not to disrespect you by barraging you with exactly what you don't want to hear...

But you have to understand how this sounds....

Because it.... it sounds like you're suddenly just willing to throw everything you've worked for away just because of one little dickwad of a boy and I can't.... I can't understand that.

I can't stand it, honestly.... That the likes of him did all this to you...

And I know there are other factors... and I... I'm not trying to convince you of this or that...

... But what about the people who want you here?

What about me?...

...

Haha... I'm making this all about myself. Such a bad habit. I'm... sorry.

This all just breaks my heart to hear...

But I get it... I understand... I wanna support you any way I can, okay...?...

ua-momo

It’s not... It’s not just because of Todoroki-san.

I just... I think that maybe I was never /destined/ for success... Not in the way I wanted, at least...

Like, maybe being a hero was nothing more than a childhood fantasy... But I’m growing up now.

And there’s no time for adults to waste on childish dreams.

And honestly, it’s better for me to realize that sooner than later.

When I think back on all the things I’ve worked on to get to this point... I realize that there isn’t much that I’ve actually... Accomplished on my own.

I got into U.A. on recommendation, haha...

...

I think that the way things ended between Todoroki-san and I made me start to realize that I really was just... Living in a dream.

And Aizawa Sensei’s words only seemed to enforce the sentiment.

And it’s thanks to my grandfather that I’ve finally been able to wake up and just... Accept reality.

Monoma-kun, you’ve really done so much for me...

I’d never want to do anything that would hurt or upset you... And I certainly know that no matter what happens in the near future, I’ll do whatever I can to support you—regardless of whether or not I continue to attend U.A....

But it’s just something I’ve been thinking about... And even if I do decide to leave U.A, it’s not like I have a plan for what I should pursue, haha...

Really, I’ve just been rambling... Please don’t take it too seriously, I didn’t mean to stress you out...

It sucks but... In the end... I’m sure things will turn out fine.

ua-monoma I... really hope it does. For your sake, I really do.

I don't mind the rambling, hahaha... I like to hear your thoughts...

And I'm... glad... I guess. To do just a little more to help and show I care...

Because I do.

And I... I want what's best for you.

Whatever that is...

I just... have this feeling that you are destined for something really great... And I'm never wrong about these sort of things, so there. Hahaha....

Ha...

...

ua-momo

Do you... really believe that, Monoma-kun...?

You promise that you're not just... Saying that to spare my feelings...? Haha...

ua-monoma

I think you know as well as I do that I hardly ever hold back in how I feel towards a person...

ua-momo

You’re absolutely right...

You know, Monoma-kun... I think you’re the only person at U.A. that I can really trust.

And I really... I really can’t thank you enough for that.

ua-monoma

You don't have to thank me...

It's what friends are for... right? Haha...

ua-momo

Yes, definitely I...

You’re a good friend, Monoma-kun. A great one, I... I really don’t know what I’d do without you.

ua-monoma

Eheheh...

ua-monoma

... Is there anything else you need? I mean...

I never like being alone when I'm upset...

And we haven't spent time together in a while...

ua-momo

Yes, we really haven’t... There’s just been so much going on and I—

...

I’ve missed you.

ua-monoma

Aha...

ua-momo

Would it be alright if I came over...? If you’re not busy of course

ua-monoma

Of course... My doors are always open.

I missed you too.
