Series: Ein schlafender Ritter und die Liebe
Characters: Ritsu Sakuma, Eli (OC by @watersofcamelot), Anja-Sophia 'Ann' Wolff (OC) (mentioned), Nyeli (OC by @watersofcamelot)
Summary: Similar… Eli at first doesn’t believe it. No way he and this Sakuma guy are that close. He decides to observe… But the day passes and Eli couldn't help but wonder about one thing…
Previous Chapter - Masterlist - Next Chapter
“Yes, you and Ritsu! At first I thought it was just your looks! But the more I think about it, the more I can see it!”
That had been Ann's words a few days ago and they kept rubbing Eli the wrong way. She talked about how similar they are… And he hated it. It was like being compared and she wanted to see who had been the better one of the two. Now, he was sure that his sis meant nothing by it. She wasn't that type of person. But that didn't change the sour aftertaste in his mouth. She's got something in her eyes and ears! He was convinced of that! He and Ritsu, similar? No… There's no way in hell this was true! As if!
But Eli hated the mere thought. The only thing he could not deny was their appearance. One good luck and he knew this much was true… That dude looked almost like him, the only differences being their heights, obviously, and their eye colors. Other than that, pair them side by side and you'd believe Eli is that Sakuma guy's older brother despite being younger than him. Aren't they similar enough? What does it even mean that they act similar!? Ugh… It was a little frustrating, to say the least…
Still, some odd feeling in his stomach that there might be something to it… Might, a very slim chance. What if Ann was right? It was always lingering somewhere deep inside… After all, according to her she and Ritsu hit it off pretty much right away and outside of Eli these two seem to talk a lot. It was… Weird to think about.
Ann wasn't someone who got along with just anyone, he learnt that fairly quickly. Even when just texting back in the day she always kept quiet in group chats and even now she had barely any friends to hang out with. Work and assignments may as well be the only friends she has, given how much time she spends on each. Or the keyboards she tends to type on. So if some rando got her attention and was close to her, it meant something at least.
However, the reason being a sense of familiarity because of Eli? He didn't buy it, or at the very least he refused to believe it. 'No way' he told himself and tried to ignore it for the past few days. It succeeded, kind of, yet it creeped up every so often. During class, in the hallway, while pulling someone by their pants for fun or at home playing games. It always came back up one way or another and he hated it!
So he saw no other choice but to dig deeper into Ann's claims. And how would he do that? Oh, that was easy. By stalking the upperclassman in question. How else? By talking to him and getting to know him? Pff, that's boring and honestly, Eli didn't have the energy or patience for that. Stalking someone on school grounds is way easier. Besides, the teachers are always relieved whenever he skips class. So it's a win–win. He didn't have to go through boring ass lectures and he couldn't be a pain in the neck during their classes. Surely no one will mind this.
And thus the tall boy had been hanging around the school gates rather early, just so that he could spot his target. And he did not too long after arriving, spotting a yawning Ritsu making his way through the school gates. It made Eli stare from the hiding spot he was at, or as much of hiding as he could manage due to his sheer size alone, and observe the guy.
Nothing out of the ordinary, not even that sleepy face yet he came to a sudden halt when hearing some noises coming from his back as well as a… 'Nye'? What's 'nye'?
Ritsu seemed to be all too familiar with it at the very least when sighing. "Not again…" He mumbled out loud before opening the school bag where the face of a tiny chibi–like cat creature peeked out. It looked close to Eli himself, with the exception of the cat ears and his blue eye color. Even the clothes are close to what Eli himself would wear in his free time: A blue hoodie with some black trousers, a little dirty as well.
Though the presence explained a lot, Eli knew this cat. Much to his own embarrassment and surprise Ann had named the cat 'Nyeli'. As a kid she just thought the name sounded cute since he says 'nye' a lot… What are the chances of her meeting Eli years later after taking the abandoned cat home? It was… Something, to say the least…
And now Nyeli was located in Ritsu's school bag, the two seeming to be close. Then again, Eli remembered that much. From what he heard even Nyeli took a very quick liking to the guy ever since first seeing him and has refused to leave ever since.
"Hey, weren't you supposed to stay with your sisnya today?" Ritsu asked while facing Nyeli. Said cat was looking up at the guy with wide eyes, ears wagging, as if confused.
"I'll have to call her I think… She's going to be worried sick…"
This was met with a sudden pout from the cat as well as constant head shaking. "Nye nye Papa nye!" The kitty even protested while tugging onto the sleeve of the male's jacket with his tiny nubs. "Nye nye nye!"
"I know you want to stay but—" Ritsu was about to reason yet the cat climbed out of the bag, right onto the arm and nuzzled against it while pouting, shaking his head profusely.
"Nye!"
"Oi, listen for one—"
"Nye!" The cat refused, of course he did. Taking no as an answer? Not going to happen. The kitty is stubborn beyond belief and was having none of it. He refused by every sense of the word, not allowing anything of that sort. So as much as that Sakuma guy tried to reason he had to give in, visibly sighing.
"Alright alright. You can stay." He said, his hand having moved to the top of the cat's head the pet it, makimg the kitty nuzzle and purr right away. "But you have to promise to keep on the low, alright?"
The cat nodded eagerly, enjoying the pets some more before sliding back into the bag, then the guy procceded to walk into the buioding. It was… Unusual yet not necessarily something Eli hated to see. It was rare to see Nyeli to grow attached to someone by this much, to the poimt he was called a 'Papa'. Maybe he wasn't so bad…
That was about the only moment though as the rest of the day Eli spent observing Ritsu… Sleeping. Either in class or during break time. One time he also got up when spotting the student council president, just hogging onto him while being like a clingy child, resembling Nyeli in that regard. He even called that guy by a nickname. 'Maa–Kun', was it? And then begging to take care of him or at least carry Ritsu back to class… Talk about handful! It was… Something else. Eli had no words whatsoever, seeing more of the cat than him. And yet Ann insisted that the two were similar, very similar. He didn't see it though, far from it… And when spotting all of that lazy, clingy behavior Eli only had one question in mind while observing Ritsu Sakuma…
"Is that how Sis sees me?"

imagine making build-a-bears with your f/o, and making them based off of each other! maybe you both add a little custom sound to put into the bears, so you both can always have a little reassurance from each other when you need it.
#Oh yes! Big yes! Very big yes! Massive yes!#Picturing this with Ritsann... Very adorable to imagine. A lit in fact. Agh!

More Ritsann brainrot!
I think one of the things I want to explore taking place in the !!!-Era is how both Ritsu and Ann handle more time apart. It could be interesting to see. So far I think of the following:
Ann is a little too busy to think about time apart. They have studies, assignments, work and adjusting to a new work environment. Of course they still check in with Ritsu daily one way or another but they are rather busy.
Given how Ritsu has a bit of a hard time apart he could be a little more drained than usual. He tries to squeeze time in face to face yet it becomes harder. He needs some time to adjust to it at first.
I might focus on that in the near future, at least !!!-Era related stories I will write.
#Nimue's Rambles#Nimue's Beloved#Sleepy Vampire#I will focus on the current ones since I got a nice ending now (I already wrote out) so I will try focusing on finishing these Ritsann work#But I already have plans for !!!-Era and I am planning. Help... AAAA!#Focus on getting the longfic(s) done first though! I should!#Hope I can keep my word on that...#(I know myself. I probably cannot...)#Anyways I got writing and planning to do! Lots of it!

Last Day
AO3 Link
Fandom: Ensemble Stars
Pairing: Ritsann (Ritsu/Ann)
Characters: Ritsu Sakuma, Anja-Sophia 'Ann' Wolff (OC)
Summary: The last day of work has approached, they will leave soon. All the people, all the memories… And yet, it is too early to say goodbye!
Words: 1,281
The year is already over? Aww, it has been fun working with you!”
“Just when I got used to having you around… What a shame.”
“Good luck in the near future! You can do it! Fight on!”
“Make sure to contact us sometimes, alright? Can’t go and disappear on us outta nowhere, ya hear?”
All of these words were meant to be kind words towards her, towards Ann. And yet they were all a painful reminder… A very painful one. One he had wished to escape and drag out.
Ritsu knew that the time together had been limited, that this would not last forever. For a while the two will have to go their separate ways. They will have to spend the time far apart, unable to see each other face to face. And the thought of that… It irked him. A lot. So much to that he wanted to punch a wall one way or another, a hole right into it. Grind his teeth out of frustration. He wasn’t upset per se, he understood. But because he understood wouldn’t mean that he had to like it. He doesn’t like it, at all. And he will never like the idea.
It was a painful thought. He knew that this wasn’t forever, only for a short time. And their paths will cross again. And yet… Yet… Just the thought of being apart like that… No, he couldn’t handle it! At all! He had to do something, anything. Even if it won’t work he at least didn’t go down without a fight!
And so, out of nowhere he grabbed her, suddenly holding onto her ever so tightly. Everyone eyed the pair in surprise, all the eyes were on them. But when did Ritsu ever care? It didn’t matter to him, at all. When did he ever care to be honest? It might be selfish but he had to let his feelings be known!
His eyes caught a glimpse of her expression, eyes wide and clearly caught off guard. A quick gasp had even escaped her lips, disappearing into thin air shortly after. She was about to say something yet he didn’t want to hear it. He wanted to speak first and had to let it all known. After all, being left alone…
“Don’t go…” Ritsu said as he pushed Ann closer to his body, right against himself, her back against his chest. His arms were around her waist, grasping ever so tightly. All he heard was a quick ‘Huh?’ It was safe to assume that she didn’t hear so he said it one more time, softer yet also louder. “Don’t go.”
“Don’t… Go?” She repeated, puzzled.
He nodded. “Yeah, don’t go.” And the grip became even tighter. Just the thought of it…
“B… But…”
“Please… Just when I believed that we could spend more time together…” He suddenly whispered, his mouth close to her ear, the pain audible. “I graduated after all, when the both of us could spend some more time together…”
No response, he could feel how their body went tense, the confusion perhaps being all in it as well? Hard to say. All he knew was that she was tense…Very, frozen in place.
“Don’t leave… Not right now… Just a little longer…” He begged, continuing to do so for some time… And yet… And yet… It had hit him all at once. The reality, from one moment to the next
“Uhm… Ritsu… You do know that…” She began, stuttering a little, maybe from the embarrassment? After all, everyone was just staring at the pair.
“That?”
“Well… I… I’m not going to Germany back!” And a sudden smack into the face. Or so it would seem. The year had passed, the two were going to separate… Right?
Hah, no. Wrong. It wasn’t going to be that way. It was supposed to be that way but things have changed. Long story short, someone got lucky, their script having been picked up for a movie and thus Ann was assisting. The director recommended her by the end of it, of all ups and downs, and she had been busy studying for a good while.
Not just theory she would be tested on she was also studying Japanese, to understand everything and to communicate. Well, not like she had to in the end but no one informed her of that. And yet, she was doing better now, the mistakes becoming smaller and smaller each time. There were still some but… It was all visible now, how she had improved over time.
Oh, and as for the entrance exam… Despite all the worrying, all the praying, all the pacing back and forth, panicking beyond belief… She made it. She had gotten the letter, making it. She was told so and yet the doubt had been eating her up all this time, consuming her, to the point it was just unbearable to look at. One would want to smack her across the head. But that meant an even bigger relief once seeing that she made it, thus becoming a student and being able to stay here, in Japan.
So, good news for everyone at the end of the day. Ann managed to work on her career, one she would want to pursue, and Ritsu was going to be happy that she was staying here and not leaving him. Happy End.
So what was that earlier? Hmm… Nothing, really. He just wanted to have some fun for a moment. And he was sure not done messing around, far from it.
“Yeah, but you will be busy studying and working… Sob sob…” He said, making one of his cheeks press against one of hers, nuzzling against her with a light pout, rubbing up and down slightly. “I’ll be lonely~”
“L… Lonely!? C… Come on now! You also… Well… Working…” She responded, all flustered.
Though he only chuckled as a result. “True. But we won’t have that much time together and that makes me said. Don’t be so cold~”
“Eh!? H… Hey, don’t act as if… The both of us…”
“You know… You could still change your mind.”
“Hah!? I… I won’t! Don’t even be joking!”
“Yees, sorry~” Of course he was joking. After all, he would not ask for her to throw her dreams away, a dream she has to work hard for now. He understands. Well, he will still demand the necessary attention of course~
And with that he couldn’t hold back his grin, chuckling right into her ear in the end, still holding onto her. “But really, I’m just happy that you’re staying here Ann–Chan. I’m not going to lose my comfy pillow~”
“Ah– H… hey, that—”
“I’ll look forward to another year~”
And that was the truth. Another year meant more fun. And besides, it was soon going to be their— Well, that had still time. He should focus on the here and now… Even if it meant to be reminded of the prying eyes.
“Uh… Do you two need some privacy or—” One of the small crowd asked, slightly annoyed.
“No, we’ll be having plenty of private time later. Right, Ann–Chan~?”
“Ah— D… Don’t phrase it like that!”
A quick chuckle. “Am I wrong?”
“Uh… N… No but…” She wanted to reason and yet couldn’t. Cat got her tongue it seemed. How cute~ “Nevermind…”
One would think that this was it. And yet, he swore that he could see a light smile on her face as well, chuckling as well and grabbing the arms which had been wrapped around her. “I… I’m going to look forward to another year with you as well…” Yeah, that feeling was defiantly mutual.
Happy End
#Nimue's Lake#Sleepy Vampire#Ritsann#Ritsan transition to !!!-Era#That Era has me somewhat on a chokehold as I have many ideas in that regard. Not just selfship related.#And there is a chance that Ritsu will be on my brain for a while. So if you see more Ritsu writing these days... I apologize.#Give it a bit and we will be back with HypMic.#(That or I publish pre written oneshots. I got some requests to work on after all)#(We will see.

Ok so in favor of trying to post here more and just let thoughts out...
I'm sorry for what I will become and write. That Ritsu has done damage to me I cannot-
I planned to write something else and finish planning a fic taking place during the Ritsann route but... I might do a bit of !!!-Era Ritsann... Just so I can picture Ritsu in that new casual fit more... I am so sorry.
#Nimue's Whispers#Nimue's Beloved#I did not forget requests! No worries! My brain just has a hard time functioning right now...#All it can think of is Ritsu. It's just Ritsu. So I will write Ritsann yet again (and continue porting the longfic it has been too long).#Ritsu in my brain... He always strikes when I least expect it.

Have you see new Hypnosis Mic A.R.B? Part 2 (FLING POSSE PREDICTION)
So unlike my previous post. This will be a just a prediction bcos we haven't got the card name yet for Fling Posse in this "Six Detective" event!
But here is my guest for the character they cosplaying as!
Ramuda -> Detective Conan
Conan Edogawa or better known as Jimmy Kudo is protagonist of Manga called Detective Conan/Case Close. Created by Gosho Aoyama. He is a high school detective, trap into a child body after drinking some experimental potion. He solve crime not only with his sharp wit but also with help gadget on his hands.
Gentarou -> Father Brown
Father Brown is the central protagonist of G.K Chesterton's short stories. Father Brown is describe as a Roman Catholic Priest, wearing a long robe and a umbrella. He use his look and naive appearance as advantage to solve crimes. Because people often assume he just wondering around to do religious business and such.
Dice ->Akihiko Chuuzenji
Additional note : This is Akihiko Chuuzenji version on 2021's stage adaptation of Mouryou no Hako.
Akihiko Chuuzenji is one of protagonist on Mouryou no Hako, Japanese novel written by Natsuhiko Kyogoku. He's a own a antique bookstore while also work as part time Shinto Priest. Despite performing exorcist, he does not believe in supernatural things.
And thats about it! Next I will be making third post to confirming any of these assumption! But for now its good.

#I have a feeling that most of them eould not be.#Ramuda would be extremely selective Gentaro would go the secret f/o route and not tell anyone. Dice would be chill and be fine sharing.#Ritsu is a hard 'no sharing' person. Izumi might not say it but also no.#Schezo... Clingy but verbally denies being clingy. Either way he'd be unwilling sharing I imagine.#Long story short: I can only see Dice being fine sharing and Gentaro keeps it ambiguous to mess around.#Everyone else is selective to no sharing.
